Chen Tao reacted quickly, his tone full of entreaty as he said, "Mr. Qin, I know I was wrong, I was also temporarily blinded. Please give me another chance."


    Qin Hao glanced at Li Bao, "Call everyone over."


    Li Bao nodded and then made a phone call. His subordinates quickly entered, expressionless and with a threatening air.


    Chen Tao turned pale with fright, thinking that Qin Hao was going to have him beaten, "Mr. Qin, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance."


    "Give you a chance? You heartless scum, am I to give you another chance to harm others?" Qin Hao''s tone was sharp.


    Having said that, he composed himself and spoke indifferently, "Now you have two choices in front of you. One: go to the police station and confess your crime of harassment to the police.


    Two: apologize to Miss Sun and then roll up your bedding and get out immediately. Of course, this is up to Miss Sun to decide. How would you like to punish him, Miss Sun?"


    Sun Wan hesitated before saying, "Mr. Qin, I really don''t mind, you handle it."


    Chen Tao''s face was a mix of clouds and sunshine; his pride and respect from becoming a store manager now threatened by Qin Hao''s dismissal, which left his mood dark.


    "Miss Sun, it''s all my fault. I apologize to you. I was also temporarily blinded by lust. I hope you can give me another chance and not send me to the police station."


    Chen Tao did not want to end up in such a place because if he did, he would bear an indelible stain, and it would become very hard for him to find a job in the future.


    Sun Wan did not want to make a complete enemy of him and spoke up, "Mr. Qin, why not give Mr. Chen one more chance."

    Qin Hao nodded, "Mr. Chen, you can now roll up your bedding and get out. If you dare spread the news of my return, don''t blame me for being unkind."


    "Yes, yes, Mr. Qin, I definitely won''t say anything," Chen Tao replied, watching those burly men, his heart trembling.


    At the same time, he thought of Qin Hao''s intentions, which might have been to secretly inspect the stores.


    Fired by Qin Hao, they should wait too, aware of some other stores'' situations.


    His eyes hesitated for a moment as he looked at Qin Hao, "Mr. Qin, I also know of some other situations."


    Qin Hao''s eyes slightly narrowed while Sun Wan tactfully said, "Mr. Qin, I''ll wait outside."


    After Sun Wan left, Chen Tao told Qin Hao a lot inside.


    Later, Chen Tao left first, not even glancing at Sun Wan, taking his belongings, and leaving straight away.


    When Qin Hao came out, his expression was not good.


    He smiled at Sun Wan, "Miss Sun, I have looked at your resume, and I heard what you said earlier. I think you are quite fit for the position of store manager in our company, would you be interested in staying?"


    Sun Wan''s face brightened up at his words, "Of course I''m interested, thank you, Mr. Qin, for your trust."


    None of them drank alcohol, and Li Bao spoke up, "Hao, there''s something I want to discuss with you."


    "What is it?" Qin Hao replied as he took a bite of his food.


    Li Bao was somewhat embarrassed: "I''m thinking of expanding the company, hiring more people, but I''m short on funds."


    Qin Hao: "How much do you need?"


    Li Bao: "About three to four million. Hao, I''ll give you fifty-five percent of the shares, and I''ll hold forty-five percent. You''ll have absolute control."


    Qin Hao nodded, "I''m also planning to invest. You specifically recruit some elite ex-military or civilian experts. I''ll need them in the future. Even if it loses money, that''s fine. What I want is elites."


    Li Bao nodded, "Okay, got it, Hao."


    Qin Hao: "Send me your account details later, and I''ll transfer the money to you. Remember my requirement; I want a group of elites."


    Li Bao: "Sure, Hao. I actually have a group of elites on hand right now. Take them with you next time you go to Jianghai City."


    Qin Hao: "I don''t need them yet, but I will in the future."


    Li Bao: "Okay, got it, Hao."


    Qin Hao then said: "If management becomes too challenging, find a professional manager to help you run things."


    He had just finished speaking when his phone rang from his pocket; it was a call from his mother.


    Qin Hao hurriedly answered the call: "Mom, what''s up?"


    "Why haven''t you come back yet?" Mrs. Qin asked.


    Qin Hao: "Mom, I''m out eating with friends. Don''t wait up for me."


    "Oh, okay, don''t drink, and come back early," Mrs. Qin reminded.


    After hanging up, Qin Hao said to Li Bao: "Pick some clever people to investigate some of our stores and certain management at the headquarters."


    Li Bao nodded: "Okay, Hao."


    Kang Youyi, hearing this, didn''t speak, nor dared he speak because such an incident in the company meant he bore an inescapable responsibility.


    All he could do was pray that those who were on good terms with him hadn''t done anything to betray the company!


    They took a long time over their meal, and it was nearly eight o''clock in the evening when Li Bao finally drove Qin Hao home.


    When Qin Hao got home, Mr. and Mrs. Qin were watching television. Seeing him return, Mrs. Qin got up hastily and came over: "Welcome back, son."


    Qin Hao: "Mom, have you eaten yet? I''ve brought back some delicious food for you."


    After saying this, he placed the takeout food on the dining table.
