Chapter 464 Decision
```
Yang Su gave Qin Hao an annoyed look, almost laughing at his blunt honesty.
"At a time like this, can't you be a little more diplomatic in your speech?"
"Do you seriously think the old man wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
The bodyguards around the old man are all armed with weapons; if he really wanted to kill you, it could be done in minutes, and there wouldn't be any consequences.
Because Xu Liangguo's status gives him that kind of power.
A few minutes later, Xu Liangguo settled down and sat on the sofa, at that moment he seemed even more terrifying to Qin Hao.
Xu Liangguo looked at Qin Hao and said, "Does your girlfriend know about this?"
"Not yet," Qin Hao replied truthfully.
Xu Liangguo asked, "If she knew, do you think she would break up with you?"
Qin Hao shook his head, "I don't know."
Xu Liangguo said, "My granddaughter will absolutely not be anyone's mistress. If anyone's going to be that, it will be the other person. That's my bottom line. Can you do that?"
His intention was clear: he didn't care how many women Qin Hao had, but his granddaughter had to be the legitimate one.
Xu Liangguo was making a very significant concession.
If Qin Hao didn't agree now, Xu Liangguo would use his methods.
With his power, he could absolutely force Du Hongfeng's whole family to capitulate.
No matter what, Qin Hao had to make a decision now. If he didn't, Xu Liangguo might actually do something unpredictable.
Xu Jiekang, Yang Su, and Xu Siyao all looked toward Qin Hao.
Qin Hao frowned in deep thought, and no one disturbed him. Given his personality, it really was uncertain what kind of answer he would give.
After struggling internally and pondering for three to four minutes, Qin Hao nodded with difficulty.
Xu Jiekang and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Liangguo looked at him and said, "I don't care how you handle it, nor will I interfere. You solve your own problems.
Now let's talk about the serious matter, concerning Xinghai High-tech Company."
Qin Hao said, "Mr. Xu, please go ahead."
Xu Liangguo continued, "The state is already aware of this matter. Tomorrow I'll bring a group of experts to tour your factory.
They are all sent by the state, several of them are academicians from the Xuan Science Academy, your future colleagues."
Qin Hao said, "Okay, I'll have people prepare for it tomorrow."
Xu Liangguo said, "Next month, the state will begin to open up all areas for development. You know about this, right?"
Qin Hao nodded, "I'm aware of this."
Xu Liangguo said, "Many high-tech foreign companies have their eyes on the Xuan Country market. On the third, there will be a high-tech product exhibition in Jianghai City.
It will include various high-tech products from different sectors, many of which will be from foreign enterprises, as well as government-owned high-tech companies.
I'll go there for an inspection tomorrow. If possible, your company should also participate in this exhibition.
At that time, many journalists from around the globe will attend, and you need to shine for our Xuan Country."
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment; he really did not know about this high-tech product exhibition: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

"If there's nothing else, you may go," Xu Liangguo said, closing his eyes slightly.
Qin Hao stood up and said, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, Ms. Yang, I will be leaving first."
After he finished, he started walking out, and Xu Siyao followed him out.
Xu Liangguo said unhappily, "Si Yao, where are you going?"
Xu Siyao replied, "Grandfather, I'm just seeing him out."
Outside the villa, in Qin Hao's car, Xu Siyao looked remorsefully at him: "I'm sorry, Qin Hao, I've put you in a tough position."
```
Qin Hao stroked her hair, "This isn't your fault, it's all on me. Don't blame yourself. Don't be angry with Mr. Xu or Mr. Xu when you get back; they were just looking out for you."
Xu Siyao asked, "Hmm, can you give me her contact information?"
Qin Hao was startled for a moment, then gave Xu Siyao Du Wanrou's contact information.
On the way back, Qin Hao leaned against the seat, eyes lightly closed.
He had a headache and didn't know what to do; he also didn't know how to broach the subject with Du Wanrou.
...
When Xu Siyao returned to the villa, Xu Liangguo looked at her and said, "You really have shattered grandfather's heart."
"I'm sorry, grandfather," Xu Siyao said softly as she approached.
Xu Liangguo sighed and turned to Xu Jiekang, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier? Do you think you could solve it?"
Xu Jiekang replied sheepishly, "I was also trying to find a solution, mainly because I was afraid you'd get too agitated."
Xu Liangguo said, "Jiejian mentioned that he's made another big blunder? Offended quite a few people in Jianghai's political circles?"
Xu Jiekang said, "Are you talking about the Ruixing Group matter, dad? Indeed, it has affected the careers of many people, including the current top official Xiao Tianwei."
Xu Liangguo's face showed a cold smirk, "Serves them right. They've already moved to the second line and still want to maneuver? Xiao Tianwei will probably be transferred."
In the afternoon, when Qin Hao returned home, he went up to the second-floor balcony. He lay on the lounge chair, gazing at the sky and the sea merging in the distance.
Before long, Han Meng came up from downstairs and placed a fruit platter on the small glass round table.
"Xiao Hao, have some fruit."
Qin Hao opened his eyes, "Meng, make yourself comfortable, come and talk with me."
Han Meng nodded and sat down on the adjacent lounge chair.
She seemed to be using the lounge chair for the first time and was somewhat uneasy.
Qin Hao asked, "Meng, do you find life tiring?"
Han Meng shook her head, "Not at all; compared to before, my current life is like living in paradise."
Qin Hao looked at her. She was simple-hearted, kind, and adorable, incapable of telling lies.
Han Meng's thoughts were straightforward and easily contented; she harbored no ambitions.
Han Meng said, "Xiao Hao, don't think too much. You're already excellent. There's no need to tire yourself out."
Qin Hao smiled faintly without saying much. Han Meng wouldn't understand; many things were too complicated to explain to her.
But he really appreciated Han Meng's nature, uncorrupted by worldly ways — pure, pristine, free of deceit and manipulation.
"Xiao Hao, let me give you a massage. I've just learned how," Han Meng said as she stood up.
Qin Hao paused for a moment, "Where did you learn that from?"
Han Meng replied, "Yu Ying downloaded an app for me on my phone. It teaches stuff like this."
After she spoke, she walked behind Qin Hao, placed her hands on his back, and began to massage him.
Surprisingly, it was really comfortable. Qin Hao said with a laugh, "Meng, you've learned quite well. It truly feels great."
Han Meng's face lit up with joy; as long as Qin Hao found it helpful, that was all that mattered.
Before he realized it, Qin Hao had fallen asleep. When Han Meng noticed, she stopped and went to the bedroom to fetch a blanket to cover him.
Han Meng sat beside him, watching over him.
Around five in the afternoon, Zhao Yuying came back. She saw that Qin Hao was sleeping and didn't disturb him; she and Han Meng left to fetch Qiao'er.
Qin Hao was later woken by the ringing of his phone.
He heard the cellphone ringtone, opened his eyes, and picked up the phone—it was a call from Du Wanrou.
Could it be that she already knew about the situation?
He hesitated for a moment, then answered the call.
