Early the next morning, at Ye Tianhao's old house.

Early in the morning, there was a knocking sound, waking Ye Tianhao who got up to open the door. Suddenly, a figure in mourning attire holding an iron hammer appeared, startling Ye Tianhao.

"Xiao Guan, did someone in your family pass away?" Ye Tianhao asked.

Pfft~

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhongyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. What do you mean someone died? The reason there's white cloth on my head is all thanks to your precious daughter, my future wife, okay?

Seeing Guan Zhongyuan's sad reaction, Ye Tianhao continued, "Xiao Guan, life and death are inevitable, don't be too upset. You must not bottle up your grief. You need to let it all out; see, you're spitting blood already. If you don't let it out, things will only get worse!"

With that, Ye Tianhao showed a concerned look. If Guan Zhongyuan had a white cloth on his head early in the morning, what else could it be if not a death in the family? Besides, Ye Tianhao had heard of Guan Zhongyuan's foster parents in the United States, who weren't young anymore, though he didn't know their exact identities.

"Father-in-law, I...I... pfft..." Guan Zhongyuan couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

Today he had come to complain, but before he could do so, he had eaten two tomatoes and didn't expect that upon seeing each other first thing in the morning, Ye Tianhao would suddenly mention a family death, causing him to spit out the tomatoes.

"Xiao Guan, I know you're very sad, but you can't keep spitting blood like that. If you continue, you'll really be done for!" Ye Tianhao advised, "Have your foster parents been buried? Are you going back to the United States?"

Cough cough~

Guan Zhongyuan was so infuriated by Ye Tianhao's words that he coughed twice, intending to explain but seeing Ye Tianhao's concern, he said, "Stop spitting. If you keep it up, you'll be knocking on heaven's door!"

"I... I... I..."

"Look at you, you've spat out so much blood you can't even speak properly..."

"There's no one dead in my family!" Guan Zhongyuan finally managed to say a complete sentence.

No one dead?

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhao was stunned. No one dead? Then what's with the white cloth on your head so early in the morning? Are you cursing me to die? This scoundrel, what kind of grudge do you have against me to pull such a stunt on me so early?

"Father-in-law, don't get me wrong. This white cloth is just for bandaging a wound!" Guan Zhongyuan seemed to have realized what Ye Tianhao was thinking and immediately explained, "The wound on my head is huge!"

"What happened?" Ye Tianhao exclaimed, "If you're bandaging a wound, why not get it treated at the hospital and use gauze instead of a white cloth?" I thought someone in your family died.

"Father-in-law, I'd love to! But just the thought of the money needed to go to the hospital makes me reluctant," Guan Zhongyuan cried.

Reluctant, so you use a white cloth to bandage? Aren't you afraid of infection? Ye Tianhao thought to himself. Even without money, surely there's enough to see a doctor?

So Ye Tianhao asked, "What happened to you?"

"It's all thanks to your daughter. Your daughter is a real wastrel. Yesterday, she smashed me, and even if it wasn't with an iron hammer, a brick would've sufficed. But she used a two-thousand-eight-hundred-dollar bottle of wine. And in the end, bang~ My head was split open, not to mention the wine was wasted. Thinking about it still aches my heart!"

Remembering that bottle of spilled Lafite, Guan Zhongyuan didn't sleep well all night.

Then, picking up the hammer in his hand, he continued, "Look, early today I went and bought a hammer!"

"Why did you buy that?" Ye Tianhao was puzzled. How silly must one be!

"If my wife gets angry again and throws wine at me, what then? So I think it's better to have a hammer ready beforehand, so we don't waste the wine!"

Guan Zhongyuan said in all seriousness, "You don't know, she threw Lafite at me, and wanted to grab two bottles of Romanée-Conti. That wine is so expensive, and when we get married, half of it will be mine. So next time we fight, I'll hand her the hammer beforehand!"

Clunk~

After hearing all that, Ye Tianhao finally understood, and almost stumbled to the ground. What kind of top grade is this, I don't even recognize it.

Caring more about the wine than his own head, this was the first time Ye Tianhao heard such a thing. The crucial point was that he was too stingy to even spend money on hospital bandaging and used white cloth instead.

Looking at Guan Zhongyuan's ragged clothes, Ye Tianhao understood why he was dressed so shabbily.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong?" asked Guan Zhongyuan.

"Nothing... just moved by your words!" Ye Tianhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Having such a top grade son-in-law really left him unsure of how to feel.

Then, with great interest, Ye Tianhao asked, "Why did you bring that hammer to me? Did you guys have a fight, and you came here just to take it back?"

"No, this morning after buying the hammer, I was going to send it to Qingcheng, but the lock on her door was changed, so I had to bring it here first," Guan Zhongyuan earnestly said, "Father-in-law, I've decided to first go work at Qingcheng International. I must work hard and make Qingcheng look at me differently!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhao randomly asked, "Which university did you graduate from?"

"Which university?"

"Yes!" Ye Tianhao nodded.

"What is a university?"

"Forget I asked!" Ye Tianhao displayed a look of frustration.

Guan Zhongyuan said, "Father-in-law, I know what you mean. To be honest, I graduated from Home School University!"

Pfft~

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianhao choked, wanting to spit blood. He just wanted to ask, how could you have the nerve to say that? Home School, why not say Toilet School?

Immediately after, Ye Tianhao asked, "You've at least been to a technical college, right?"

"Nope, not even that!"

"High school then?"

"Even less!" Guan Zhongyuan continued, "Father-in-law, please stop testing me. Actually, I'm just a primary school graduate!"

Primary school graduate, yet aiming to work at Qingcheng International? Even dreaming of working hard? I just want to ask if you know what the hiring requirements at Qingcheng International are?

With such a top grade son-in-law, Ye Tianhao felt helpless.

Out of frustration, the only option was to arrange a job at Qingcheng International for Guan Zhongyuan, he could learn on the job. If Guan Zhongyuan put in the effort, Ye Tianhao believed he wouldn't always be this useless.

After careful consideration, Ye Tianhao decided as such. Since he was the former CEO of Qingcheng International, he had the power to arrange a position even for a useless person.

Thus, Ye Tianhao said, "Come in first, let's have breakfast, and then I will take you to Qingcheng International!"

Hearing this, Guan Zhongyuan was overjoyed and nodded heavily, "Alright!"

Soon, the two entered the room, Ye Tianhao glanced at the large hammer in Guan Zhongyuan's hand, "Xiao Guan, could you please put down the hammer for now!"

You holding it like that, I'm really afraid you'll give me a whack from behind.
