Chapter 393: Chapter 233: International Security Company

’When we get there,’ she thought, ’with me, my child, my parents, and my grandmother, we’ll need a lot of comforters alone!’

’All this effort for nothing, and now I have to put it all back!’

She watched as Mrs. Zhao packed some frequently used items, like phone chargers, into a carry-on suitcase and clapped her hands. "Alright, all packed!"

Wang Yan silently returned to her room. It would take another half hour to put everything back.

’That damn Zhao Hui,’ she thought. ’Running off to work overtime on a weekend. It’s one thing not to help, but he couldn’t even explain things clearly. Just you wait, I’ll give you a piece of my mind when you get back.’

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the sound of someone coming in the front door.

"Dad, Mom, is the house packed up? Since it’s the weekend, we can move tomorrow morning!"

Wang Yan hurried out. "Ah Hui, have you had lunch? I can whip up a couple of dishes for you."

The thought of scolding him from moments before was instantly thrown to the back of her mind.

Zhao Hui and Wang Yan had been high school classmates. After they got married, Wang Yan had always been the one to yield to Zhao Hui, rarely arguing with him.

Besides, Zhao Hui was now earning tens of thousands a month and held the position of Vice President at Junxiao Square, which gave Wang Yan a lot of face among their relatives. In the eyes of her own family, she was now a rich man’s wife.

Whenever she used to visit her family, her sister-in-law would treat her like a maid, never hesitating to dump all the chores on her. Now when she went back, it was like an imperial consort returning home—they wouldn’t let her lift a finger.

While she secretly looked down on her sister-in-law, she couldn’t help but think about how her own family had treated Zhao Xiangjun in the past, and her face grew a little hot.

Zhao Hui waved his hand. "What time is it? I already had a working lunch at the office."

Junxiao Square had an employee cafeteria, and the management level even had their own private kitchen. The benefits were exceptionally good.

As he spoke, he walked into the room and said to Wang Yan, "Just pack some clothes and things. Why did you bother with the bedding? Don’t you think it’s a hassle?"

Wang Yan didn’t dare say a word. She didn’t even have the courage to talk back to him.

’When a man becomes successful in his career, he speaks with more confidence! His status in the family rises significantly!’

Zhao Hui returned to the living room, sat down in front of Mr. Zhao, and took out a pack of Venerable Emperor cigarettes, offering one to his father and lighting it for him.

"Dad, after the New Year, I might have to go to another province for work. I won’t be able to come back as often."

Mr. Zhao froze. In the inner room, Wang Yan, who was tidying up, immediately stopped what she was doing and strained her ears, afraid to miss a single word.

"Ah Hui, you have such a good job here. Why would you give it up?"

For someone like Mr. Zhao, who had been a manual laborer his whole life, being the Vice President of Junxiao Square was something he wouldn’t have dared to dream of. And his son was quitting after working there for only a short time.

Zhao Hui smiled and explained, "Don’t overthink it. My brother-in-law arranged it, and it’s a promotion. It’s not because I did a bad job and got fired!"

Hearing that Chen Xiao had arranged it, Mr. Zhao immediately relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Zhao and Wang Yan also felt a weight lift from their hearts and went back to what they were doing.

"You’re not working overtime today?"

"No, it’s almost the end of the year. I wanted to see if there was anything I needed to do at home. I’m starting to hand over my current work, since I’ll be starting a new job after the New Year."

"You should invite your uncle over for dinner tonight. He’s come by several times since you started working at Junxiao Square, but you were never here."

Zhao Hui chuckled. His uncle lived in the same building, yet they ended up seeing each other the least. Mrs. Zhao had complained to him about it more than once.

She said his uncle had commented, "That boy Ah Hui... he’s still closer to the relatives on Mr. Zhao’s side. See? He’s arranged jobs for all of the Zhao Family, but not a single one for Mrs. Zhao’s side!"

You couldn’t really blame Zhao Hui, though. The entire Zhao clan had already been hired at Junxiao Square. It would have been too much to arrange a job for his uncle back then. A shopping plaza only has so many employees; you’d be bumping into a relative of President Zhao’s everywhere you went.

"Alright then! I’ll have Mom make a few dishes tonight and invite my uncle over for a couple of drinks."

When Chen Xiao got home that afternoon, he found a moment to call Xu Wu and discuss some ideas about Hassan.

Xu Wu was at the office working overtime again. There was too much to do at the end of the year, so she was practically living at the company.

Xiao Qi had already reported Hassan’s initial proposal to Xu Wu.

Hassan and his team, or rather, his band of brothers, had raised a total of 30 million US Dollars. They wanted to go through Xiao Qi to see if Junxiao Group had any good projects for them.

But what kind of major project could you do with 30 million US Dollars?

Hassan’s investment needed to see a quick return, as he had a group of "brothers" to support.

However, Junxiao Group currently had no businesses that could offer him a quick profit. Chen Xiao wasn’t involved in any short-term, fast-return ventures; everything was part of a long-term strategy, built on a solid foundation.

"What’s your idea?"

’For Chen Xiao to call at a time like this, not even waiting for Monday, he must want to get this settled as soon as possible.’

"Help him establish a security company. With his background, it’s the most suitable line of work for him."

Of course, Xu Wu knew what Hassan used to do. For Xiao Qi to be her bodyguard, Xu Wu would naturally have a thorough understanding of her past. Hassan was Xiao Qi’s comrade-in-arms, and Xiao Qi had already reported everything she knew about his background to her.

’Of course, Hassan could run a security company, but how is that any different from what he’s doing now?’

’One is being hired for security, the other is being hired for war.’

"A security company... You can have Xiao Qi discuss it with him."

Chen Xiao continued, "Junxiao Capital can invest in this security company to ensure the safety of Junxiao Group’s future overseas business."

Xu Wu suddenly understood Chen Xiao’s true goal.

’This security company is probably just a front. Chen Xiao wants to use Junxiao Group’s financial power to further upgrade this company’s armaments, ensuring Junxiao Group’s interests in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are protected. After all, it’s very "chaotic" over there.’
