Chapter 258: Chapter 188: The Mistress and Xiao Si

Xu Wu froze for a moment!

"Chen Xiao, are you crazy? Have you got more money than you know what to do with?"

She knew what this 1%, which seemed so small, actually represented.

The group’s total managed capital was currently 29 billion, and she believed Chen Xiao would continue to inject more funds later. Otherwise, there was no way to satisfy the scale of his current plans!

If he achieved his current strategic vision, the group’s capital would definitely exceed a hundred billion or even more!

One percent would represent one billion, or possibly even more!

Not long ago, Xu Wu was just an office worker earning 20,000 a month. In what felt like no time at all, her salary was changing weekly!

The previous bonus of several million was already absurd. Now he was just giving away hundreds of millions!

She suddenly thought of something and said fiercely, "Chen Xiao, did you give me this 1% to shut me up about you touching me yesterday?!"

Chen Xiao was stunned. ’I have plenty of ways to shut you up. With my fingers, for example... but definitely not with money!’

He stubbornly insisted, "Don’t you accuse me wrongly. When did I ever touch you? I’m a perfect gentleman!"

’A perfect gentleman? If I hadn’t blocked you with my hand last night, you would have ripped my safety shorts!’

"Why give me equity all of a sudden?"

"To tie you down, of course!"

Xu Wu shot him a seductive glare. This man was always saying the strangest, most misleading things!

She wasn’t a pedantic person. Having come this far with Chen Xiao, she had truly thrown her entire being into his business ventures.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was working herself to death for him!

Of course, Chen Xiao wasn’t giving her equity just for that reason. She could clearly feel her own appeal to him, so she accepted the 1% stake!

Because Chen Xiao’s words, "to tie you down," had moved her. ’If he wants to tie me down, then so be it!’

"By the way, that Demon Feng invited me to the Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group’s annual meeting!"

Dr. Feng’s Robot’s annual meeting wasn’t scheduled for the end of the year. It had been moved up, mainly because of the company’s recent relocation.

"If she invited you, you should go. With your status, you’re guaranteed a seat at the head table!"

"I’ll come and toast you then, President Chen!" Xu Wu revealed a rare, mischievous expression.

Probably only Chen Xiao was fortunate enough to see this side of her. In public, she was incredibly overbearing. She’d even dared to point her finger at Xu Gang, the Chairman and CEO of Junxing Auto, and tell him to get lost if he couldn’t do his job right!

Chen Xiao quickly replied, "Spare me, please. I’m just a salesman. Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit quietly in a corner?"

These women were always stirring things up. Feng Feifei had also tried to get him to sit at the head table!

’Never mind that I hate being in the limelight, how would they even introduce me?’

’So-and-so is a leader from the High-Tech District, so-and-so is the president of a listed company, and this is Chen Xiao, a salesman at our company?’

He had insisted on sitting at the very back, finding a corner to hole up in. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to just eat and drink as he pleased!

This wasn’t the first time Feng Feifei had experienced his "lack of ambition," so naturally, she didn’t force him.

「Junxiao Square」

In Xu Jun’s office, Zhao Hui sat across from him.

Ever since he learned about Zhao Hui’s relationship with President Chen, the two of them had gotten along very harmoniously.

Xu Jun practically agreed to Zhao Hui’s every whim. But Zhao Hui wasn’t the type to get arrogant from special treatment; the more accommodating Xu Jun was, the more Zhao Hui respected him. As a result, their collaboration was a match made in heaven.

"President Zhao, President Xu gave me an ultimatum. I have to acquire at least five more shopping plazas within twenty days. My time will probably be completely focused on that, so I’ll need you to manage the daily affairs of the plaza."

Zhao Hui nodded in agreement. Xu Jun was now the Chairman of the Junxiao Business Management Company. He said President Xu was pressuring him, but in reality, he was enjoying it.

The more plazas he acquired, the greater Xu Jun’s personal professional achievements would be. That was the main reason driving him to work so desperately.

Zhao Hui knew that Xu Jun was intentionally grooming him to take over the general manager position. ’Sigh, am I climbing the ladder a little too fast?’

He even felt a bit like he was being force-fed to grow faster, but despite that, his own development speed couldn’t even keep up with that of Junxiao Group!

One could only imagine how insanely fast Junxiao Group was growing!

"Also, you’ll need to help me out with the interviews for the general manager positions at the various plazas. I’ll interview Lin Ya from Tianlong Square, and I’ll leave Liu Nan from the Qingyun County Junxiao Square to you."

Because Lin Ya, as the former general manager of Tianlong Square, had a status in the business world almost on par with Xu Jun’s before, it was clearly inappropriate for Zhao Hui to interview her.

Liu Nan, on the other hand, was the general manager of a Wansheng Square in a county-level city below, so it was perfectly sufficient for Zhao Hui, as the executive deputy general manager of Junxiao Square, to interview him.

He didn’t know that Zhao Hui and Liu Nan had met once before. Thinking back on what happened then, he wondered what Liu Nan would think when they met again.

Zhao Hui agreed without hesitation. He wasn’t picky about his tasks right now; he personally handled all sorts of matters to learn the ropes. There was so much to learn, and he was desperately short on time.

At the same time, he hadn’t built his own team yet. In the future, managing such a huge load of affairs without his own confidants would be a real headache.

The interviews for Qingyun County weren’t just for a general manager; he’d heard the deputy general manager position was also open. The original deputy GM had already been confirmed to return to the Wansheng Group Hanjiang Region as a reserve deputy GM, to be dispatched later when a vacancy opened up at a Wansheng Square.

Returning to his office, he called for Sun Wei.

"When is ’Feichi Auto’ vacating their store?"

Sun Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "Their attitude is firm. They claim they’re still within their contract period and that we have no right to make them leave."

"Don’t waste time arguing with them. Two options. First, they take the compensation and leave. Second, I’ll blacklist them, we’ll never work with them again, and they’ll still have to leave. Let them choose."
