Chapter 394: Chapter 233: International Security Company (2)

"Once this security company scales up, we can quickly expand our business into the regions they can cover! For example, hotels, cars!"

"Doesn’t he want to make money? First, we’ll build up this security company, and our investment in him will have no upper limit! At the same time, as long as he can handle the local connections, we’ll let him run the Junxing Auto business too!"

’No upper limit?’ Xu Wu was secretly alarmed. ’Chen Xiao’s ambitions are no small matter. Stirring up this much trouble abroad!’

If that ruthless bunch gets an injection of Chen Xiao’s capital, it’s hard to estimate just how powerful they’ll become!

"I’ll arrange for Xiao Qi to talk to him first. When the time is right, I’ll step in personally!"

"Also, have Xiao Qi take Hassan to Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park in the next couple of days. I’ll arrange for someone to show them our latest R&D achievements!"

"Are you trying to drum up more orders for Demon Feng again? No wonder you said there’s no upper limit on the investment. You’re trying to completely satiate Demon Feng, aren’t you!"

Xu Wu teased him, her tone less than friendly.

Chen Xiao didn’t know how to explain. ’What’s this about satiating Demon Feng? My capabilities are enough to satiate all of you!’

"Don’t get the wrong idea. Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park has a lot of good stuff that Hassan will need in the future!"

"Oh? Like what?"

"For example, robotic dogs, drones, plus super artificial intelligence!"

Xu Wu sucked in a sharp breath. ’Damn,’ she knew exactly what Chen Xiao was planning!

"This is arms dealing! We can’t do things that cross the line!"

"You’re overthinking it. I’m only selling him the civilian models. If they modify the equipment themselves, you can’t blame me for that!"

’Can’t blame you? At most, Hassan used to play around with shoulder-fired rocket launchers and drive armored vehicles. And here you are, single-handedly modernizing his entire operation!’

’Even the militaries of many established Western powers aren’t this advanced. What kind of game are you even playing?’

Chen Xiao knew Xu Wu’s concerns and reassured her, "It’s fine. This is just a concept for now. We still need to see if Hassan is cut out for it. If he has what it takes, what’s to stop me from packaging him into the next Sun Wukong, ready to wreak havoc in Heaven?"

"Besides, we’re only making a financial investment in his security company. The management is their own business!"

"Occasionally, we might make some donations too. After all, many parts of Southeast Asia are impoverished. We need to uphold the spirit of humanitarianism. Once you make money, you should do more good deeds!"

Xu Wu was silent for a long moment before finally sighing. "Chen Xiao, you can’t judge a book by its cover."

"What do you mean?"

"You have an innocent face, but your heart is the color of chocolate!"

Dark lines instantly appeared on Chen Xiao’s forehead. ’What’s this about the color of chocolate? Just say I’m black-hearted already!’

’But everything I said involves great acts of charity! Once a person forms a prejudice, it’s so hard to change their mind! I must have been bullying her too much lately, so she always assumes the worst of me.’

’Well, in that case, don’t blame me for bullying you until I’m satisfied!’

After hanging up on Xu Wu, Chen Xiao sullenly sat down on the sofa.

Zhao Xiangjun asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you? You look upset."

Chen Xiao said, "I’ve been wrongly accused. Tell me, is my heart black?"

Zhao Xiangjun smiled and said, "Of course not!"

Chen Xiao was instantly delighted. "My darling Xiangjun understands me best!"

"Mhm, your heart is pitch-black!"

"Zhao Xiangjun, believe it or not, tonight I’ll make you try out eighteen different positions!"

Zhao Xiangjun immediately acted frightened, cautiously running up to him and saying pitifully, "Chen Xiao, my back really hurts!"

He instantly grew nervous. "For real? Don’t scare me. Is it okay if I don’t do anything tonight?"

He wasn’t afraid of anything, except when Zhao Xiangjun said she wasn’t feeling well. That would make him a nervous wreck.

Zhao Xiangjun immediately started giggling. "You said it! Liars are puppies!"

Chen Xiao was instantly furious, realizing she had just been joking with him and had made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Fine, you don’t have to do the eighteen positions. But tonight, you’re definitely going to be the puppy!"

The dinner party at Zhao Hui’s home was incredibly lavish.

The family lacked for nothing now. Mr. Zhao had taken a liking to Venerable Emperor cigarettes, so Chen Xiao had Zhao Hui bring back several cases.

He liked to drink Maotai, so Zhao Hui brought back 20 cases at once.

When Mr. Zhao went for his usual strolls around the residential complex, he would inevitably offer cigarettes to his neighbors. For the past two months, he had been handing out Venerable Emperors, which led all the neighbors to inquire what line of business the Zhao Family had gotten into to have suddenly struck it rich.

Eventually, they heard that it was their boy, Zhao Hui, who was now the Vice President of Business Development at Junxiao Square. They figured the cigarettes must have been gifts from clients.

This shocked everyone even more. What kind of person was Zhao Hui? He was a good-for-nothing who loafed around all day. How could a character like that become a vice president at Junxiao Square?

The interviewer who hired him must have been confused, letting Zhao Hui get so damn lucky.

But regardless of the type of luck, ever since Zhao Hui became the vice president at Junxiao Square, the Zhao Family’s status among their neighbors had been elevated by countless notches. They had clearly become the most prominent family in the Happiness Garden resettlement community.

It got to the point where no matter where Mr. Zhao went in the complex, people would come up to him, calling him "Brother Zhao" this and "Brother Zhao" that.

Many people who used to look down on the Zhao Family had even started visiting them, bringing gifts like free-range chicken one day and wild-caught river fish the next.

Of course, Mr. Zhao knew what these people were after. Most of them were involved in some kind of trade. If they could set up a business in Junxiao Square and receive some favorable treatment from Zhao Hui, their fortunes would take off immediately.

Today’s dinner table was laden with many of these local specialties gifted by the neighbors, things their uncle rarely had a chance to eat.

As soon as their uncle walked in the door, he took a sniff.

"Sis, your cooking is getting better and better! The smell alone is making my mouth water!"
