The poorest rich man novel (Chen Hao) novel Chapter 151

“Miss Tang Wan, are you the CEO of this clothing design company?”

Chen Hao couldn’t help but ask in a surprised tone. She gave off a strong woman vibe judging from her temperament, but he didn’t expect her to be so impressive.

“Why? Do I not look like one?”

While driving, Tang Wan looked in the rearview mirror and smiled at Chen Hao.

“Also, drop the formality. You make me sound like I’m very old when in fact, I’m just a little older than you. You can just call me by name,” Tang Wan complained.

Chen Hao nodded and said, “Alright then, I’ll drop the formality, Miss Tang Wan!”

Pfff!

Tang Wan was amused by Chen Hao and laughed at once.

Initially, Chen Hao wanted to ask about Tang Wan’s family. He was curious that Mengmeng’s surname was Tang. He thought that maybe she was a single mom, but he felt like he was invading her privacy, so he kept quiet.

After that, Tang Wan drove to the supermarket and bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and then they arrived at her home.

As expected, Tang Wan’s house was neat and clean. He looked around and didn’t notice any trace of a man living in the house.

It made him feel comfortable.

Tang Wan was indeed excellent at cooking. In a short while, she had prepared a table of food which was more delicious than the dishes in Hot Spring Villa.

It would be a great blessing for a man to be married to Tang Wan.

Tang Wan was very outgoing and good at socializing as well.

After the conversation they had during the meal, Chen Hao regretted not having met Tang Wan earlier. They were like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Looking at Chen Hao, Tang Wan was attracted by his down-to-earth personality.

After getting to know each other, their conversation flowed smoothly.

“Chen Hao, you must be curious about Mengmeng’s father, right?” Propping her cheeks, she asked him.

“No, not really,” Chen Hao replied to her awkwardly.

“Not really? You were wandering and looking around the room. What were you looking for then?” Tang Wan asked while grinning at Chen Hao.

It made Chen Hao feel a little embarrassed.

Tang Wan was really someone experienced. She had observed his behavior just now.

She could even see through his mind and knew what he wanted to ask.

It made Chen Hao feel like he was an elementary student in front of her.

“Hmph. I can see through it, but I don’t have anything to hide from you. Mengmeng’s father had passed away for a long time, so there’s only two of us. During weekdays, I am at my office and Mengmeng goes to preschool. We usually go out during weekends. Recently, an evil young master has invested heavily in Jin Ling all of a sudden, and it has caused many medium and small-sized enterprises to face a crisis. It distressed me a lot, which was why I was distracted and Mengmeng fell into the river. You wouldn’t know how helpless I was at that time. How great would it be to have a man by my side to depend on.”

Tang Wan’s cheek had turned red after drinking a few glasses of wine.

It made her look even more gorgeous.

To be honest, Chen Hao had always liked girls who were about the same age as him or younger than him.

He had never interacted with women in their thirties before.

Particularly, a pretty and mature woman like Tang Wan.

Chen Hao was distracted by her charm and he couldn’t help but stare at her.

However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself. Chen Hao was too shy to remark on her situation as he was really grateful that she had invited him for lunch. He didn’t know how to respond to her when she said she wished to have a man by her side.

So he asked instead, “Miss Tang Wan, you mentioned that there’s an evil young master who launched a sudden investment in Jin Ling. What does that mean?”

“Haha, we can just skip that. But you should have heard about the most evil young master in Jin Ling, Young Master Chen, right? The one from Jin Ling Commercial Street!” Tang Wan suddenly raised her voice and said angrily.

“Huh?” Chen Hao almost choked to death when he heard that.

Since when had he become the most evil young master in Jin Ling?

“I’ve heard about him before, but many people say that he’s quite nice!” Chen Hao said with a blush on his face.

“How can you say that he’s nice? You don’t know about the business world. Young Master Chen launched huge investments in all types of industries not long ago. They seem to be grandiose investments but in fact, they messed up the whole business circle in Jin Ling. The balance in our business circle was broken once the invested enterprises developed rapidly, which led us, the medium and small-sized enterprises, to face severe business crises. There are a lot of business owners who hate him!” Tang Wan said.

Chen Hao was perplexed as he heard that and stopped eating.

Chen Hao was clear about the huge investments that he had done in Jin Ling. All those projects were invested by him on behalf of his sister, including the project of the Hope Elementary School.

Chen Hao didn’t pay much attention to that. He just followed what his sister had told him to do.

After making those investments, he didn’t study about the progress and consequences as well.

He didn’t know that these investments would spoil the balance of the business circle in Jin Ling.

Because Tang Wan was worrying about her business being threatened by the investments done by him, she didn’t look after Mengmeng properly. That would mean that he was part of the reason Mengmeng fell into the river.

Chen Hao laughed an ironic laugh silently.

“Sigh, let’s not talk about this. Oh yeah, Chen Hao, you’re going for an internship soon right? Where do you plan to go?” Tang Wan asked.

Chen Hao was an honest and kind person, but Tang Wan realized that Chen Hao’s financial condition was probably not good judging from his clothing and phone that he used.

She was grateful to him as he had saved her daughter’s life before, so she was concerned about his future too.

“I don’t really have a plan yet,” Chen Hao said.

“It’s okay. If you want, you may come to my company for an internship. I’ll pay you double. As long as you work with me, I guarantee that you will be able to buy a house in Jin Ling in the next five years!” Tang Wan had the urge to keep Chen Hao by her side.

“Mummy, there is no need for Uncle Chen Hao to buy a house. He can just stay with us! When I grow up later, I’ll buy my own house and then you two can live together!” Mengmeng cut in the conversation suddenly.

“Mengmeng, what are you talking about? How could I live with Uncle Chen Hao? Only spouses live together, understand?” Tang Wan laughed helplessly.

“Oh, I understand now!”

Tang Wan glanced at Chen Hao and noticed that he was just smiling without saying anything.

She then said, “Chen Hao, do consider what I said. Although it isn’t a big company, it still has bright prospects.”

Chen Hao nodded his head.

He thought, you wouldn’t have said that if you knew that I was the Young Master Chen who put your company in crisis.

However, looking at their friendly relationship now, Chen Hao thought to lend a hand as he owned the responsibilities for creating a huge crisis for Tang Wan’s company.

“Mommy, I’m full. Uncle Chen Hao, let’s go buy some toys downstairs!” Mengmeng wiped her little mouth and said.

“Buy toys? Mummy will buy it for you tomorrow!”

“I don’t want to. I want Uncle Chen Hao to bring me there!”

Mengmeng liked to be with Chen Hao.

She kept holding Chen Hao’s hand with no sign of letting go.

Chen Hao smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’ll bring her to buy some toys. Don’t worry, I’ll look after her!”

Chen Hao then went downstairs with Mengmeng.

On the way to the toy store, Mengmeng kept clinging onto Chen Hao. Chen Hao felt happy but his heart ached for Mengmeng at the same time. No matter how strong Tang Wan is, she is still a single mom with no man to rely on, and Mengmeng is a child from a single-parent family.

He then asked, “Mengmeng, do you enjoy spending time with me?”

Tang Mengmeng nodded her head profusely and said, “Yes!”

“Why?”

“Because you’re a good guy, unlike those bad uncles who come to my house. Not only do they beat my mom, sometimes they beat me too!”

“Huh?” Chen Hao was shocked to hear that.

Initially, Chen Hao wanted to understand more about the situation so that he could help them in the future, but he didn’t expect Mengmeng to reveal something like this.

Bad uncle. Does that mean that Tang Wan has complicated relationships?

Who are those people? How could they even beat a child?
