Super Rich from Winning a Lottery

Chapter 398 - 266: The New Department Head

"But the chairman, your dad, is an exception; he’s always been single and unmarried. I used to wonder why the chairman was always single?" Tan Xiaoxiao said, switching the topic.

"But now I finally understand, apparently the chairman met his true love at seventeen or eighteen, and had you as a son, no wonder he’s refused to marry for all these years."

"Your mom is the same, for the chairman, she raised you alone and never got married either."

"The phrase ’Lovers eventually become family’ perfectly suits your mom and dad. The chairman and your mom have waited all these years, and finally, it leads to a perfect result."

Guo Sian listened to Tan Xiaoxiao and agreed she was right. It’s rare to see someone like his mom and dad, separated for eighteen years, manage to stay committed and finally reunite as a family.

But how could Guo Sian and Tan Xiaoxiao know the real situation of Yi Anguo! If they ever found out the truth about Yi Anguo, they would surely be shocked.

The real Yi Anguo, though never married and single, had no shortage of women around him, nor sons and daughters.

"As the saying goes, ’Like father, like son,’ since you know what kind of person my dad is, you should have confidence in me. Marry me, and I promise to be like my dad and be good to only one woman, loyal to just one woman my whole life," Guo Sian said opportunistically.

"You little brat, you really want to pursue your sis, huh? I’ve always considered you like a little brother. I’ve never thought about marrying a younger brother, I like mature men, so just forget it, you’re not on my radar," Tan Xiaoxiao scolded with a laugh.

Honestly, if Guo Sian were a bit older, maybe she’d be tempted. It is a chance to marry into wealth and ascend in one step, after all.

Few women wouldn’t be moved by that,

and Guo Sian is over 1.8 meters tall, handsome and dashing, and crucially, not an old man, but young.

But to Tan Xiaoxiao, Guo Sian just seems a bit too young, six or seven years younger than her. By the time she’s old, he’d still be in his prime. Women age faster than men, and Tan Xiaoxiao isn’t confident that when she’s old, she can still keep Guo Sian’s heart.

If she were to be with him now, this relationship would surely have problems in the future.

Guo Sian wasn’t surprised by this outcome, so he didn’t feel disappointed at heart.

If Tan Xiaoxiao had agreed immediately, that would be strange.

"No rush, I can wait," Guo Sian said with a smile.

"Of course, you can wait, but I can’t! I’m already twenty-five; by the time you marry, I’ll be over 30. Do you think I won’t be able to find a husband by then?" Tan Xiaoxiao said irritably.

"No, no! That’s not what I mean. I mean if by then you’re still unmarried, you could consider being my girlfriend!" Guo Sian hastily explained.

"I can’t find a husband, so I’d marry you, huh? You’re so good, always willing to back me up!" Tan Xiaoxiao said, mockingly annoyed.

Despite her sharp words and displeased demeanor,

inside, her heart was touched by Guo Sian’s words.

No matter how it was said, today’s seafood feast was incredibly satisfying for Tan Xiaoxiao. It’s probably the most enjoyable seafood meal she’s ever had in her life.

It’s not just because the seafood at this place is delicious, but also because some of these seafoods are rare for ordinary people to see, and they’re expensive.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, Tan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help being shocked by the figure on the bill when she saw it for real.

Considering the exchange rate between Singapore dollars and Chinese currency, that number was even more astonishing.

They couldn’t finish all the seafood dishes, so they packed some for Tan Xiaoxiao to take back, to share with colleagues who also came from China.

Yi Anguo had been in Singapore for half a month now. During the surprise inspection of the seven major groups’ Southeast Asia headquarters and branch companies in various Southeast Asian countries, several issues were exposed, especially in financial supervision.

There were cases of false accounting, illegal profits, and embezzlement in various branch companies, and these issues were serious. Yi Anguo was understandably angry.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, knowing that these issues are hard to avoid, as businesses grow, corruption becomes inevitable, embezzlement, false reporting, asking for kickbacks from suppliers and partners are persistent problems, and it’s really difficult to eliminate these completely.

Despite the belief in using high salaries to ensure honesty, no amount of pay can completely eradicate this, though it can improve things relatively.

Yi Anguo asked himself, and believed his company’s policies were without fault, attempting to accommodate everyone by providing reasonable pay and comprehensive benefits, as well as opportunities and mechanisms for advancement. However, some people are never satisfied, and given the opportunity, will undoubtedly choose to embezzle without hesitation.
