The Mightiest Little Peasant - Chapter 523
Chapter 523: 523
Chapter 523: I’m An Uncle Now
The next morning, in Tang Hao’s office .
Liu Yan was updating him about the company’s progress in the past month .
“I didn’t expect that Vitality Sports Drink is so popular, Chairman Tang . It’s only been in the market for a little more than a month,” Liu Yan said emotionally .
Sales of Vitality Sports Drink grew faster than Masculine Wind Aphrodisiac when the latter first launched .
The sole purpose of marketing the sports drink was to topple Yu Lin Group, but the product became a runaway success .
If they could increase the production capacity, the sports drink would definitely be able to corner one-hundred percent of the market . It could be a flagship product of Haotian Group, just like Bingji Beauty Cream or Masculine Wind Aphrodisiac .
‘How many more wondrous recipes does Chairman Tang have?’ Liu Yan was very curious .
Other than the sports drink, the sobriety medicine and hair growth tonic also reported spectacular sales .
Liu Yan was thoroughly impressed by each of those products .
Her admiration for her boss’s abilities became respect .
Tang Hao smiled . “It’s all thanks to the advertising and promotion campaigns . Of course, the product has to be good too . Take good care of the beverage company!”
“Yes, Chairman Tang!”
After reporting about the other companies, she left the office .
Tang Hao sat on his chair, browsing through several documents when his phone started ringing . The call was from his maternal grandfather .
He sat up straight and answered the call .
“Hello, Grandpa!” Tang Hao greeted with a smile .
“Hey, Lil Hao!” His grandfather’s hoarse voice was heard over the phone .
“Is there anything, Grandpa?”
“Are you free later? You can come over if you are! Dazhu and his wife are here with their baby . You should come and see!” Grandpa said .
Tang Hao remembered that Gao Ying had given birth to a baby boy not too long ago .
“Alright, I’ll be there later . ” Tang Hao immediately agreed to it .
He was planning on visiting Yan’er in Dragonrock Village in two days anyway, so he would combine both visits in one .
He arrived at the village a while later .
He could see from afar that many people were crowding in front of Grandpa’s house .
Grandpa and Grandma were sitting next to the door, and next to them was First Uncle and his family . Many villagers focused their attention on the baby in Grandpa’s arms .
“You’re here, Lil Hao!” The villagers greeted Tang Hao eagerly when they saw him .
“Lil Hao!” Bro Dazhu and his wife also greeted him .
“Congratulations!” Tang Hao said .
Shi Dazhu laughed . He took the baby from Grandpa’s hands and placed him in Tang Hao’s arms . “Here, let your Uncle carry you, my dear Yi’er . ”
Tang Hao laughed drily when he heard “Uncle” .
Before he knew it, he was already someone else’s elder .
He looked at the cute baby in his arms . His features were delicate .
“Good Yi’er . Here, let Uncle give you something,” Tang Hao said as he took out a jade pendant and placed it in the baby’s hand .
“Oh, you shouldn’t have, Lil Hao!” Dazhu quickly pushed his hand away .
“Don’t worry! It’s just a small gift . ” Tang Hao insisted on giving the baby the pendant . “Let him wear this, and he’ll grow up safe and healthy . ”
“Thank you, Lil Hao,” Dazhu said after Tang Hao did not allow him to decline the gift .
Gao Ying also thanked Tang Hao for the pendant .
Tang Hao gave the baby back to the couple and sat down next to his grandparents . They chatted for a while .
After that, he went to Yan’er’s house .
“Brother Hao! Brother Hao!”
Yan’er happily ran down the stairs when she knew that Tang Hao was there to visit her .
She was casually dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts .
“Look at this, Brother Hao, I’ve just received my letter of acceptance . ” She took out a letter from behind her . It had the Z University emblem on it .
“I’ll still be your junior!” Yan’er smiled sweetly .
“Silly girl…” Tang Hao chuckled .
Yan’er obtained excellent results in the gaokao . She could have gone to the two major universities in the Capital, but she chose Z University anyway .
“There’s still another month before the semester starts . Enjoy yourself in the meantime . I’ll fetch you to school by then!” Tang Hao said with a smile .
“Mm!” Yan’er nodded .
“Right, this is for you . ” Tang Hao gave her a small box that contained a Jade Bone Pill, then explained its functions to her .
“It’s that amazing? Thank you, Brother Hao!”
Yan’er’s bright eyes sparkled with excitement . She smiled, tiptoed, and pecked Tang Hao on his cheek .
She smiled bashfully and ran back upstairs .
Zhang Hongfang witnessed all that from the kitchen . She smiled and mumbled, “That girl has finally become brave . ”
After saying goodbye to his grandparents and Shi Dazhu, Tang Hao left Dragonrock Village .
When he returned to the city, he looked at his watch and realized that it was almost lunchtime .
He took out his phone, found Liu Bingyao’s number, hesitated for a while, but eventually dialed it .
“Hello!” Liu Bingyao’s gentle and sweet voice was heard over the phone .
“Are you free? Can we have lunch together?”
“Mm!” She immediately agreed without thinking .
After a brief pause, she continued, “But you’ll have to wait for me for a while… I’m still lazing in bed!” She said rather embarrassedly .
Tang Hao went to her house . She came out after about twenty minutes .
She had spent some time dressing up . She wore a white dress which revealed her long and slender legs and a pair of crystal high heels .
She was indescribably beautiful, like a fairy that descended from the heavens .
“Tang Hao!” She called his name as she got close .
Tang Hao opened the car door for her, then sat in the driver’s seat .
“New Magical Kitchen?”
Liu Bingyao shook her head . “How about we go somewhere else? We’ve been there before, the one where I bought you lunch . ”
Tang Hao thought for a while and remembered which one it was .
“Alright!”
He started the car and drove there .
Liu Bingyao, sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head, and stared at Tang Hao .
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed dejected .
‘We rarely meet, but every time we do, he seems so distant . ’
She was smart enough to know what was going on, and that had caused her worries .
‘Should I be a little more daring?
‘Would that be inappropriate?’
Her brows were subconsciously furrowed even more tightly as she struggled internally .
Eventually, she arrived at a conclusion . ‘Perhaps it’s best to remain in our current situation! I’m happy enough if I get to look at him . ’
She felt much better after arriving at that thought .
“What’s wrong?” Tang Hao asked when he saw that she was looking at him intently .
“It’s nothing!” She lifted her chin and smiled .
The gloom on her brows cleared up once she smiled . Her eyes were curved like crescent moons .
“I can’t wait for lunch . Ah, right! We rarely go out together . How about you accompany me on a shopping trip, just like last time?” She said coyly .
“Alright!” Tang Hao agreed to it .
After lunch, they walked down the street for the next few hours .
Tang Hao sent her home and gave her a Jade Bone Pill .
