Chapter 294 - 200: How About a Hug

Chapter 294: Chapter 200: How About a Hug

Zhao Liang hesitated for a moment.

At first, he was worried it would be too tiring. But when Chen Xiao mentioned that Zhao Hui had started the same way, he felt he wasn’t any worse than Zhao Hui.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "How about I go to the logistics department at the Yinuo Jiangzhou Branch too? Can I be as impressive as Brother Hui in the future?"

Zhao Xiangjun found her cousin’s question naive and immediately chimed in, "That depends on how hard you work, and a bit of luck!"

"And my wife?"

"She can start as a sales associate. Any brand under Yino or even selling cars will do."

"Huh? A sales associate? That’s such a low-status job!"

His third uncle quickly smacked him. ’Does this kid know how to talk?’ Xiangjun herself was a sales associate, wasn’t she?

Sure enough, Zhao Hui’s face turned icy, and Chen Xiao had already lowered his head to sip his tea, saying nothing more.

"Brother Hui, please make the arrangements for him tomorrow. If he can handle it, he can do the job. If not, he can just stay home and rest. After all, Third Uncle is capable enough that he has the luxury of mooching off his parents."

Zhao Xiangjun saw that Chen Xiao was displeased. He was clearly ready to give up on Zhao Liang, but she decided to give her cousin one last chance.

Zhao Hui grunted in agreement. Since his sister had arranged it, he couldn’t refuse.

After this little episode, the atmosphere turned a bit awkward.

The uncles shifted the focus of their hospitality to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao remained respectful toward the elders, but he didn’t drink a single glass with Zhao Liang all night.

Zhao Hui was already mourning for Zhao Liang in his head. His cousin truly had no idea what kind of opportunity he was missing.

Early the next morning, Liu Haoran received a call from Zhao Hui.

’Arrange for someone to join the logistics department? This script sounds familiar. Zhao Liang?’

Zhao Hui said bluntly, "My cousin."

Liu Haoran immediately sat up straight. ’This needs to be handled with care!’

But Zhao Hui continued, "Assign him to the logistics department and give him the hardest work. Don’t pay him more than 8,000 a month, and let’s see if he can last for three months."

Liu Haoran immediately understood. This was a test to toughen him up. He also knew why Zhao Hui had given such clear instructions.

If it weren’t for Zhao Hui’s specific orders, he, Liu Haoran, would never dare to make such an arrangement.

As for Zhao Liang’s wife, there was no need to bother Liu Haoran. Placing her in a store as a sales associate was something Xu Jia could arrange.

Zhao Hui understood Chen Xiao. Zhao Liang’s behavior last night had disgusted him, especially when he looked down on the sales associate position, inadvertently insulting Zhao Xiangjun.

The arrangement for Zhao Liang was simple: if he could endure it, he might still have a future. If he couldn’t, Zhao Liang would forever lose the halo of being one of the Zhao Family, and Chen Xiao would no longer look out for him.

Both Zhao Liang and his wife chose the Yinuo Jiangzhou Branch, probably because they thought they were following the same path Zhao Hui had taken.

「Monday, the first month of the new year.」

In the morning, Chen Xiao pulled his head from the crook of Zhao Xiangjun’s delicate arm.

He picked up his phone to check the time. It was only 8:00 AM, so he could still sleep a while longer. He idly scrolled through his phone and came across his blocked messages.

’Holy shit, what the hell is this!’

"Your Huaxia Bank Card ending in 8848 has received a deposit of 3,500,000 yuan... Your new balance is 960,000,000 yuan."

’This is the notification for my daily basic stipend. How did I get 3.5 million in one day?’

He suddenly recalled his conversation with Feng Feifei. He hadn’t wanted the promotion, so she had planned to raise his job rank and base salary all at once.

’Could it be that starting this month, my salary was raised to 500,000 a month? Otherwise, my daily basic stipend wouldn’t have jumped to 3.5 million a day!’

At this rate, he would earn 1.2 billion a year just from his daily basic stipend. Who could possibly understand such a fortunate problem? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

’Oh no, I hope the rank increase didn’t reset my Diligence Points!’ Chen Xiao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly opened his system panel. He took a look and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, the Diligence Points were still there, and the daily basic stipend had indeed become 3.5 million a day.

「Inside Dr. Feng’s Robot Industrial Park」

It was Chen Xiao’s first day of work here, and everything felt new and exciting.

He didn’t get to the office until 11:00 AM. As he casually strolled in, bag in hand, Qiao Xin spotted him from the front desk and said joyfully, "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re here for work!"

She had started copying Ma Jing and calling him Brother Chen Xiao now.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Yeah, the High-Tech District is a bit far."

A few other people covered their mouths and snickered. ’What was there to explain? Everyone was already used to Chen Xiao being late!’

He didn’t stop, though, as he was eager to go and see his office on the 28th floor.

Once on the 28th floor, he entered the large open-plan office. Ma Jing spotted him at once and hurried over. "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re here! I’ll show you to your desk."

Chen Xiao’s desk wasn’t with the others. Yuan Kai, Zhao Rui, and Ji Kang were still sitting in the outer area.

Following Ma Jing, he passed by a private office with a nameplate that read "Sales Director." Chen Xiao asked curiously, "Why isn’t Yuan Kai in this office?"

Ma Jing whispered, "This is the director’s office. Why would he be in here?"

Chen Xiao let out a soft "oh" of understanding. Only then did he realize that Yuan Kai hadn’t been promoted to the director position.

"Who is the Sales Director?"

"He’s new. I heard he came from one of the big tech firms. His name is Li Hui. He held a department meeting this morning, but you weren’t here."

"I hate meetings."

Ma Jing giggled. "You don’t have to attend them! I heard President Feng was the one who suggested it. You get to arrange your own schedule."
