My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 721 - 722 Mutual Calculations (Extra for 60,000 book coins in memory of the past)

Yun Hao had just answered the phone when Long Shaoyang's suggestion of making him an honorary elder of Dragon Scale nearly scared him under the table. What kind of joke was this?Even though the leader of Dragon Scale was his uncle, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, Dragon Scale was part of the national apparatus, and he hated dealing with other countries—it was such a hassle!

So Yun Hao tried every excuse to get out of it, hoping his uncle wouldn't drag him into it. Besides, if he became an honorary elder of Dragon Scale, he'd have to take care of Dragon Scale matters. With Tang Rou in Dragon Scale and his uncle as the leader, how could he possibly refuse?

"Stop making excuses. Where are you now? I'll send someone over with your credentials, and I'll also send the next phase of the medication!"

But Long Shaoyang simply ignored Yun Hao's excuses, making the decision final with a hammer strike!

After leaving his address, Yun Hao felt utterly dejected looking at the hung-up phone, speechless about how domineering people could be these days.

First, there was Feng Qian'Er forcing a kiss on him without a word, and now his uncle Long Shaoyang was pretending to consult him but didn't bother with his opinion at all, simply giving him the honorary elder position at Dragon Scale!

"What's wrong, hubby?" Chu Yan asked worriedly when she saw Yun Hao's speechless expression after hanging up the phone.

"It's my cheap uncle, who just thrust the honorary elder position at Dragon Scale upon me without explanation!" Yun Hao put the phone aside and replied softly.

"What kind of position is that?" Zhao Shishi asked.

"Honorary elder, within headquarters, is a position where except for the leader, no one else has the authority to intervene. They have relatively free rights, don't need to be in Dragon Scale, or stay at any branch. Only when Dragon Scale needs them does the leader call them out!

Moreover, an honorary elder's salary is very high, at least three times that of an external leader like me!"

Tang Rou, as a veteran of Dragon Scale, naturally answered Zhao Shishi's question confidently!

"It sounds pretty good, though, so why is Yun Hao unhappy?" Zhao Shishi thought about it and felt there was nothing wrong. Why was Yun Hao so unwilling? This position is basically getting a salary for doing nothing, isn't it?

"Little Shishi, you're too naive!" Yun Hao shook his head as if in deep thought, then turned to Tang Rou, "Does my uncle know about Zheng Hua and Watanabe this time?"

"Yes, I reported it to Dragon Leader immediately at the time!" Tang Rou nodded, wondering why Yun Hao suddenly asked this.

"That explains it. He must have guessed that you'd also inform me, and then I'd get involved, so a lot would inevitably fall into my hands!

But now things are different. By giving me this honorary elder position, I'm a part of Dragon Scale, and anything found in the tomb must be turned over to the country now!"

After speaking, Yun Hao looked up at the ceiling, oh wait, at the ceiling tiles, experiencing again what cunning schemes the city held!

Every step is filled with endless schemes!

Mom, hurry and save your child, this uncle wants to use your son as free labor!

Yun Hao sighed inwardly; even if he felt blue and lonely, he couldn't cry! (A pun on internet slang.)

"What's in that tomb?" Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi weren't aware, so they asked curiously after hearing Yun Hao's analysis.

Tang Rou briefly told them what might be in the tomb and some other information. Upon hearing about the treasure's value, both little gold-diggers Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi's eyes lit up as they looked at Yun Hao!

"Hubby, why not call your uncle and say we're not doing it!" Chu Yan, needing money the most at the moment, felt if they could get the treasure, it would really boost them. She believed with her and Zhao Shishi's skills, they certainly could quickly expand their business, giving Wu Long and Qi Jiayu's company a blow from which they'd never recover!

"Yeah, Yun Hao, give your uncle a call and say we're not doing it!" Zhao Shishi couldn't help but urge as well.

Hearing the ladies' words, Yun Hao could only sigh deeply, thinking if he could, wouldn't he want to?

But since Long Shaoyang decided to let him, there must be a reason. If he called to decline, Long Shaoyang would certainly agree!

However, that might put Long Shaoyang in a tough spot.

Suddenly, Yun Hao thought of a possibility: Long Shaoyang knew he didn't want to join Dragon Scale, but still let him. Could it be there was no one else available at his side now?

This lack of available people could mean two things: those capable of acquiring the treasure were all sent on assignments, or those with the ability couldn't be fully trusted!

If it's the former, that would be easy; but if it's the latter, maybe Long Shaoyang's situation is not very good!

Realizing this, Yun Hao felt at ease. Isn't it just money? If needed, after handing the treasure over to Long Shaoyang, he'd simply loot everything valuable from Long Shaoyang's home and sell it all!

One must say, Yun Hao's rogue idea is really… really scary!

"Forget it; believe uncle has his difficulties. We'll just have to raid his place in a few days. I'm sure he's accumulated some valuable things over the years!" Yun Hao shook his head helplessly and said slowly.

"Oh, by the way, honey, the 15th is coming soon. Think about what gifts to take to uncle's house, so we can come back with more gifts!" Yun Hao suddenly grabbed Chu Yan's little hand beside him, speaking seriously.

"Got it—on my first visit to uncle's house, I'll be sure to bring back all the valuables from his place!" Chu Yan nodded earnestly, then took out her phone to research what gifts to bring over.

Seeing Yun Hao and Chu Yan acting like they were preparing for battle, Zhao Shishi suddenly felt a bit sorry for Yun Hao's uncle, being schemed against by his nephew and nephew's wife; really tough luck!

After lunch, Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi returned to their posts, while Yun Hao sat with Tang Rou in the hall waiting for the person Long Shaoyang sent with the items!
