A faint smile appeared on Jiang Lai's face, seemingly having a good impression of Song Nuan. If Su Chang knew, he would definitely marvel at how terrifying a woman's sixth sense truly is.

Andy and Xu Li didn't have any objections to Song Nuan, after all, it was hard for anyone to dislike a girl like that.

Then, Jiang Lai continued, "Next, let me talk about our company's public relations manager, Tong Wei. She's a very capable negotiation expert, and she's definitely cunning. She's very beautiful, has a great figure, and tonight she's been trying to get close to Su Chang."

When Tong Wei was mentioned, a hint of seriousness flashed in Jiang Lai's eyes. Andy and Xu Li also frowned. After all, if a scheming woman suddenly came to the house, it would easily cause chaos.

Finally, she introduced, "Next up are the director and deputy director of our company's new department, Zheng Shuyi and Bi Ruoshan. Both of them are quite simple-minded. Zheng Shuyi is the gentle and graceful type, while Bi Ruoshan is the straightforward type who says what she thinks. Both of them are relatively easy to get along with."

Jiang Lai's expression relaxed, and she seemed to have a good impression of the two people.

After listening, Xu Li thought for a moment and said, "Actually, apart from Tong Wei, whom you mentioned, the others are all alright."

"No..." Jiang Lai said urgently after hearing this, "Am I talking about whether it's feasible or not? This is a company, not a home. If he does this, the company will become his harem. How can he manage it?"

Andy nodded: "Indeed, if a company is full of these kinds of relationships, it will be very difficult to manage." As a senior executive, she understood Jiang Lai's words quite well.

Xu Li, sprawled on the sofa, said nonchalantly, "Then let's talk to Su Chang and ask him to reopen a few companies for a few people, right? He's not short of money anyway."

Upon hearing Xu Li's suggestion, Jiang Lai and Andy were both taken aback for a moment, then lowered their heads to ponder. Xu Li didn't say anything more, because in her opinion, as long as Su Chang didn't abandon her, nothing else mattered.

Just then, Su Chang walked in from outside. His steps were hesitant, as if he had already sensed that the atmosphere inside was not right. When he saw the three women sitting on the sofa, looking at him with unfriendly expressions, his heart tightened.

This was the result of Jiang Lai and Andy's discussion, and Xu Li could only accompany the two of them to conduct a three-way interrogation of Su Chang.

Su Chang sensed that the three people had ill intentions, so he awkwardly greeted them, "Three beauties, you're still awake? I'll go take a shower first."

Seeing that he was about to run away, Jiang Lai shouted urgently, "Stop!"

Su Chang stopped in his tracks with a sigh, then turned around and said with a grin, "What's up, ladies? How about we talk about it tomorrow during the day? It's getting late." His smile was ingratiating, but his eyes betrayed a hint of unease.

Jiang Lai said irritably, "Did I make you come back so late? Stop talking nonsense, sit down, we need to have a serious talk with you." Her tone was stern, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Andy then said, "Su Chang, sit down. We do have something to say to you." Her expression was serious, and her gaze was firm.

Xu Li shrugged at Su Chang, indicating that she was powerless to help. Su Chang could only sit opposite the three women, awaiting their judgment. He inwardly groaned, wondering what these three women were up to.

Seeing Su Chang sit down, the three women exchanged glances, and Jiang Lai spoke first: "Su Chang, we need to have a serious talk with you. First of all, we know that you will definitely find your woman again, but we need to make a three-point agreement with you."

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, the three women stared intently at Su Chang, wanting to see how he would respond.

Su Chang nodded seriously, a rare occurrence for him, and said, "Yes, go ahead." His expression was earnest, as if he was trying hard to show his sincerity.

Jiang Lai continued, "First of all, if you want to bring a woman home, you must get our permission. We're not being unreasonable, but we don't want scheming people in the house, because it would make the whole family uneasy." Her tone was unusually firm, because their family was very special, and if there were any unstable factors, no one would have a good time.

Su Chang nodded and agreed, saying, "No problem, continue." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't want his harem to be in turmoil either, otherwise, it would be better not to have a harem at all.

Jiang Lai and the other two women breathed a sigh of relief when Su Chang agreed. Jiang Lai continued, "Secondly, if you like the women in the company, I hope they can leave. You can even help them start a few companies. Otherwise, if the company becomes your harem, it won't be convenient for management." Her gaze was sharp; she simply couldn't bear the thought of the company becoming Su Chang's harem.

After listening, Su Chang pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. He thought about it and decided that the request wasn't unacceptable, as it could avoid some unnecessary trouble. So, he agreed: "Okay, I understand. I'll talk to them if we get together. Anything else?"

"Hmm... those are the two for now, but I still hope you can try to find as few as possible. After all, everyone's energy is limited, and what if you get..." Jiang Lai glanced at Su Chang's lower body and continued, "You know what I mean, right?"

Su Chang glanced in the direction Jiang Lai was looking and immediately understood. Then, a wicked glint appeared in his eyes, and he chuckled evilly, "Oh? So you don't believe in my abilities?"

"Tch! Right now, it's just the few of us who's okay. What if there are more women? Who knows?" Jiang Lai said bluntly, and Andy even nodded in agreement.

"Is that so?" Su Chang smiled wickedly, stood up abruptly, and darted between Jiang Lai and Andy, grabbing one of them with each arm and placing them under his arms. He then tossed his head at Xu Li and said, "Come on."

Jiang Lai cried out in surprise, kicking her legs and trying to break free from Su Chang's control, cursing, "You bastard, put me down!"

Andy kept her head down and didn't say anything, seemingly letting Su Chang do as she pleased. Xu Li, on the other hand, stood up abruptly and said, "No problem." Then she followed him.

The four of them rushed upstairs at lightning speed. As for what happened next, you can use your imagination.

······

The next morning (Wang Hao's), before the sun had even risen, Su Chang couldn't wait to come downstairs.

Seeing that only Su Chang came downstairs, Zheng Fangyan felt a mischievous urge. Like a lively little bird, she ran to Su Chang's side, hugged his waist, and said sweetly, "Young Master, why are you the only one coming down? Where are the three young mistresses?"

Zheng Fangxiu frowned, looked at Zheng Fangyan with a serious expression, and said in a reproachful tone, "Little sister, be mindful of your status."

Su Chang quickly waved her hand at Zheng Fangxiu and said with a smile, "Big sister, don't be so serious. What's with all this talk about status? You're all my family. Besides, this is home. I think it's fine for little sister to be like this."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed Zheng Fangyan's head, thinking to himself, "Your three young mistresses probably won't be able to get up today."

Zheng Fangyan hid in Su Chang's arms, playfully sticking out her tongue at Zheng Fangxiu and making a face. This action angered Zheng Fangxiu so much that she was about to get up and hit her, but Zheng Fangyan hid in Su Chang's arms, looking completely unfazed.

Su Chang shook his head helplessly, patted Zheng Fangyan's head and said with a smile, "Alright, little sister, stop fooling around and have breakfast. Big sister, you can all go and do your work later, you don't need to follow me."

Zheng Fangxiu immediately nodded and said, "Yes, young master."

Chapter 113 Disrupting Li Wei Hotel

Su Chang seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said to Zheng Fangxiu, "By the way, little sister, later you can take three breakfasts to my room and ask them if they need to ask for leave. If they do, please help them ask for leave."

Zheng Fangxiu nodded in agreement upon hearing Su Chang's instructions, then turned around to prepare breakfast.

Zheng Fangyan lingered beside Su Chang, eating breakfast together. As she ate, she would occasionally glance up at Su Chang, her eyes sparkling with joy. Su Chang was happy to oblige, enjoying the warmth of this lovely girl by his side.

After breakfast, the dechapuls went off to do their work, and Su Chang wondered where she should go.

He doesn't want to go to Ode to Joy lately, to avoid running into those annoying people. Guan Juer has moved to the 23rd floor. Xiao Ming is still studying painting and driving as usual. He went to the company yesterday and doesn't really want to go again. Xu Hongdou won't be coming to Shanghai for a while. Yang Tao is still busy, so he's not in a hurry to go to Kyoto. As for Pinzhentang, Lu Yuan and Xiao Cai can handle it all. He's completely become a hands-off manager and suddenly finds himself an idle person with nowhere to go.

A wave of helplessness washed over me. Maybe this is just how I am. In my past life, I spent every day in the lab and it was hard to even get a day off. Now that I'm free, I don't know what to do. I think I'll just stay home and not bother going out.

After staying at home for a few days, he finally managed to "seduce" the three women. Upon receiving a message from Yang Tao that she was going to find Li Wei, Su Chang hurriedly flew to Kyoto.

As soon as Su Chang arrived at the arrival gate, a tall and beautiful figure appeared in front of her, standing out so uniquely and dazzlingly in the crowd. This was none other than Yang Tao, who made Su Chang's heart flutter.

As if he had spotted his prey, Su Chang rushed over and hugged Yang Tao tightly, saying cheekily, "Taozi, I missed you so much."

Yang Tao's face immediately turned red, and she kept glancing at the pedestrians around her. She gently pushed Su Chang's shoulder and said, "Let go of me. There are so many people watching."

Seeing Yang Tao's shy expression, Su Chang teased, "Then, Taozi, do you miss me? I won't let go until you tell me."

Yang Tao realized how shameless Su Chang was, glared at him irritably, and finally whispered, "I miss you, please let me go."

Su Chang also understood the importance of knowing when to stop, so she let go of Yang Tao's arms and said apologetically, "You have no idea, Taozi, you are so beautiful. You have no idea how much I have missed you after not seeing you for so many days."

Seeing Su Chang's eager gaze, Yang Tao shyly avoided his eyes and whispered, "Okay, let's leave here first."

Su Chang immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "No problem, let's go."

As she spoke, Su Chang took Yang Tao's hand and started walking outside. Yang Tao tried to shake him off a couple of times but couldn't, so she let Su Chang lead her.

The two got into Yang Tao's car. Su Chang still wanted to play a little trick, but Yang Tao gave him a serious warning with a coquettish tone: "You better behave yourself. I'm driving now. If you do this again, get out of here. I won't talk to you next time."

"Okay, okay." Su Chang had no choice but to obediently sit in the passenger seat and watch Yang Tao drive.

······

Su Chang had someone check the hotel where Li Wei worked beforehand. As soon as he and Yang Tao entered the hotel, they heard a piercing and familiar sound, and their eyes were immediately drawn to it (ccdj).

Xue Sumei was seen waving her bag angrily at a man, none other than Li Wei. Her eyes were filled with rage, and she kept cursing, "Li Wei, you shameless bastard! You did bad things, you changed your name, huh? You think you're so dignified? I'll see if you can keep up the act!"

Holding a folder, Li Wei awkwardly parried Xue Sumei's attacks, his face showing fear and guilt, with fine beads of sweat even appearing on his forehead. Several security guards nearby also rushed forward to push Xue Sumei away.

Seeing this, Yang Tao was extremely anxious. Fearing that Xue Sumei would get hurt, she rushed over without hesitation. Su Chang was not to be outdone. How could he miss such a good opportunity? He was even faster and arrived in front of Xue Sumei in a few steps, tightly protecting her behind him.

His eyes were firm and fierce as he roared at the security guards who stepped forward, "What are you doing? Stop it!"

Xue Sumei and the security guards were stunned by Su Chang's sudden appearance. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Chang in surprise.

Yang Tao then came to Xue Sumei's side. She took Xue Sumei's arm and carefully examined her, asking with concern, "Mom, are you hurt?"

Xue Sumei then came to her senses. She pointed at Li Wei and said angrily, "Taozi, look, that's that bastard Li Wei. He even changed his name to Zhuangyan..." Her voice was full of anger and resentment.

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Li Wei turned to run away. Xue Sumei had been keeping a close eye on him and wasn't about to let him escape so easily. She shouted, "You bastard, where do you think you're going? Li Wei, stop right there!" As she spoke, she charged forward, and Yang Tao tried desperately to pull her back, but she couldn't hold her back no matter what she did.

Several security guards were about to step forward when Su Chang shoved them aside. Su Chang's eyes revealed a kind of authority as he threatened Li Wei, "Li Wei, you better stop right now, or your fabricated information will appear on your chairman's desk, believe it or not. I'll also call the police. You know what you've done, don't you?"

Upon hearing Su Chang's threat, Li Wei indeed stopped in his tracks. His face turned extremely pale, and his eyes revealed a hint of fear and helplessness. He knew that Su Chang wasn't just bluffing, and he understood that he was definitely doomed today.

Li Wei turned around, a bitter look on his face, and said softly, "Was it necessary to be so ruthless? It's always good to leave room for maneuver so you can meet again in the future."

Before Su Chang could speak, Xue Sumei couldn't hold back any longer. Her eyes were filled with anger and disdain: "Pah! Who said we'd like to see each other again? You bastard, you've ruined our Taozi so badly! How dare you say we've done nothing wrong?" Her voice was sharp and piercing, as if it would puncture Li Wei's eardrums.

Seeing that Su Chang and Yang Tao didn't seem inclined to speak, Li Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Xue Sumei, "Auntie, I know I was wrong. Um... I'll pay back the money I owe Taozi right away, and I'll also give her some money as compensation, okay?" His voice was pleading, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Those around Li Wei pointed and whispered at him, their faces showing disdain.

Hearing Li Wei's words, Xue Sumei became even angrier. Her chest heaved violently as she pointed at Li Wei and cursed, "You bastard, what do you mean? You owe us money? You cheated us out of it! Do you think we care about your few stinking coins?" Her voice echoed in the air like thunder.

The people around him looked at Li Wei with disdain. They didn't expect that this manager who claimed to have returned from the United States was actually a fraud. Many people had already started contacting their familiar leaders. After all, every company is full of competition, and Li Wei had quite a few enemies.

Seeing Xue Sumei's fierce temper, Li Wei felt a pang of fear. He had originally planned to bleed a little today to settle the matter, but he hadn't expected Xue Sumei to be so determined to torment him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He wanted to turn and leave, but seeing Su Chang's mocking expression, he dared not go. He had a feeling that Su Chang was a strange person, and if he left, he would probably be severely punished.

"Auntie, just tell me what you want," Li Wei said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

Xue Sumei showed no mercy. Her eyes gleamed with determination as she said directly, "Don't call me auntie, and I'm not your auntie! I'm telling you, I have to call the police and have you arrested today. I won't let you get away with this!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if telling Li Wei, "You're finished!"

Upon hearing Xue Sumei's words, Li Wei's face darkened instantly, his heart filled with fear and anger. He knew he was in deep trouble, but he was unwilling to be captured so easily. His eyes darted around, searching for an opportunity to escape.

Just then, Su Chang saw that Li Wei was still thinking about negotiating even at this point. He shook his head helplessly and then said to Yang Tao, "Taozi, call the police! Tell them that a fraudster has been caught here."

Yang Tao nodded, took out her phone, and started dialing the police.

Seeing this, Li Wei panicked even more. He knew he couldn't hesitate any longer; he had to find a way to escape immediately. He shouted at the security guards, "What are you all standing there for? Throw them out!"

Upon hearing the order, several security guards surrounded the three men. Although they also despised Li Wei's character, he was still their superior, and they had no choice but to do so for the sake of their jobs.

"stop!"

Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the direction of the elevator entrance, followed by a composed-looking middle-aged man rushing out of the elevator. His eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, and a few beads of sweat clung to his forehead.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. Upon seeing the newcomer, the hotel staff all greeted him.

"General manager!"

"Good morning, General Manager!"

The middle-aged man did not answer the crowd, but walked straight up to Su Chang and pushed aside several security guards who were surrounding him.

"What are you all doing here? Get out of the way!"

He then bowed slightly to Su Chang and said with unusual respect, "Hello, Ms. Su, I am Li Feng, the general manager of this hotel."

Su Chang looked at Li Feng with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Do you know me?"

Li Feng seemed to realize his abruptness, smiled awkwardly, and explained, "President Su, this hotel belongs to President Ding. Your photo has already been distributed to the general managers of all of President Ding's businesses. President Ding has instructed that as long as you come, we must provide you with the best service."
