Not charging? Brother Hao, he wants to hire them for a year, that’s almost seventy-five million for fifteen people a year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still need him for something else,” Qin Hao said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Bao nodded, “I understand, Brother Hao. Right now, our Flying Leopard Guard Battalion is clearly short on reserve forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plan to continue recruiting, and the intelligence department also needs to train special talents, in which Li Yang is also skilled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: “Right, just manage it as you see fit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Qin Hao’s phone rang; it was Xu Jiekang calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao answered the call: “Hello, Mr. Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was silence from Xu Jiekang’s side for a few seconds before he spoke: “Xiao Hao, the medicine has still not passed the inspection; it will take more time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao was briefly stunned, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart: “I understand, Mr. Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the call, Qin Hao sat on the couch and sighed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What good was technology if you couldn’t get approval to produce?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiekang hadn’t said much, but he understood very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issue involved too many significant interests and too many people, each with powerful connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless directed from above, passing the inspection would be incredibly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sense of helplessness and exhaustion surged deep within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Li Bao had seen Qin Hao show signs of fatigue; usually, Qin Hao was always vibrant and bursting with confidence, no matter the time or place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Qin Hao appeared somewhat desolate and weathered, as though he had aged decades all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong, Brother Hao?” Li Bao hurriedly asked, seeing him like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao’s face broke into a smile: “It’s nothing, I’m just going to take a walk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the forced smile on Brother Hao’s face, Li Bao felt somewhat distressed: “What happened, Brother Hao? Tell your brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s something neither of us can solve, just take good care of the company,” Qin Hao said, patting his shoulder and walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao left the office and exited Feibao Company, walking along the endlessly busy streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Xuan and others closely followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao walked aimlessly. He felt lost, with a sense of indignation pressing on his chest like a stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt very tired; he wanted to rest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao stopped, turned his head to look at Leng Xuan and the others, and immediately the person driving behind hurriedly drove up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go home,” Qin Hao said as he got into the car, sounding exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Xuan and the others quickly drove back to the Haoting Sea View Villa District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got home around eleven fifty in the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meng and Zhao Yuying were eating together; Zhao Xingbo and his wife had gone back to their hometown today, leaving Zhao Yuying alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Hao return, Han Meng paused: “Xiao Hao, you’re back. I’ll go cook for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao hadn’t reached the sofa when he staggered and suddenly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying and Han Meng’s faces changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Hao, Xiao Hao…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meng was the first to run over and hurriedly picked him up: “Xiao Hao, what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying ran outside and called Leng Xuan and the others, “Quick, come inside, Xiao Hao suddenly collapsed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Xuan’s expression changed, and he hurried inside. By then, Han Meng had already burst into tears, holding Qin Hao’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Leng Xuan was not very skilled in medicine, having been a mercenary in the past, he knew a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took Qin Hao’s pulse, and a minute later he said, “Mr. Qin is suffering from emotional distress; it’s nothing serious, but he needs to rest. Quickly, take Mr. Qin to bed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Meng and Zhao Yuying carried Qin Hao to Han Meng’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying didn’t think much, after all, it was convenient for someone to look after him in Han Meng’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? Why would Xiao Hao suffer from emotional distress?” Han Meng’s eyes reddened as she looked at Qin Hao on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying was also puzzled. Qin Hao was fine last night. How could this be today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could something have happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a little past two in the afternoon, Qin Hao opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying and Han Meng were sitting by the bed, watching him. Seeing him wake up, their faces brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Hao, how do you feel? Are you all right?” they asked in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao smiled and nodded, “I’m fine now, much better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You scared me and Meng to death. What happened?” Zhao Yuying still felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: “I encountered some issues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he attempted to get out of bed, but he realized his shirt had been taken off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t have robust muscles, his clearly defined lines exuded a sense of beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying: “I washed your clothes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll go get your clothes.” After saying this, Han Meng went upstairs to fetch clothes for Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao looked at Zhao Yuying somewhat awkwardly as she said with a laugh, “What? Are you afraid Ying is taking advantage of you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao quickly shook his head: “No, no, Ying, I didn’t think too much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying expressed her concern: “Are you really okay? Leng Xuan said you need to rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: “It’s okay. I have a good constitution and recover quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yuying looked at him and asked, “What exactly happened, Xiao Hao? You shouldn’t keep things bottled up inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can wear you out. It’s better to talk about it. I’m willing to listen, and I promise not to tell anyone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","59db4918660af659a9e578b6f3a75b09c4a77e4329002326028d2784ec36ca30","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-409","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-407",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
