Chapter 396: Chapter 234: What If This Was Modified?

His uncle was stunned. "Move over there? What do you mean, move over there?"

Zhao Hui paused for a moment and said, "Uncle, we might be moving. We’ll still come back here occasionally, but if you want to visit in the future, you’ll probably have to come into the city!"

Moving? His uncle asked in confusion, "You just bought this house and finished renovating it, and now you’re moving? Where to?"

The Zhao Family had only confirmed the move in the last couple of days, and they hadn’t been broadcasting the news.

If Zhao Hui hadn’t just let it slip, their relatives probably wouldn’t have found out until after they had already moved out.

There was no reason to hide it from his uncle, so Mr. Zhao took over the explanation. "It’s too much trouble for Xiangjun to come home every time. A round trip takes two hours. Her boyfriend bought a house in the city and asked us to move in so it would be more convenient for her to come home!"

His uncle was dumbfounded. ’Someone’s that extravagant?’ he thought. ’Buying a house in the city and moving the whole family in just to make it more convenient for his girlfriend to come home?’

’Isn’t Xiangjun’s boyfriend a salesman? How can he be so rich?’

’My own boy is a salesman too. I even suggested they learn from each other last time. Looks like my son really needs to learn a thing or two from this Chen Xiao!’

"Brother-in-law, Xiangjun’s boyfriend is really something else. When my boy comes back, I’ll bring him over so the two of them can have a good chat. Chen Xiao can teach him a thing or two about sales!"

Zhao Hui jumped in alarm. ’Uncle, don’t go making a mess of things!’ he thought frantically. ’President Chen isn’t someone you can just bother whenever you feel like it!’

"Uncle, he’s very busy. We shouldn’t bother him!"

His uncle said dismissively, "You don’t get it. Their relationship isn’t even official, and he’s already given her a house to live in. That shows his heart is true to Xiangjun. He’ll be family sooner or later, so why are you all acting like strangers?"

Zhao Hui’s head throbbed. ’Acting like strangers? You’re the one being way too informal!’

Fortunately, his uncle wouldn’t have the chance to meet Chen Xiao alone. Otherwise, Zhao Hui was genuinely afraid he would be as incoherent as he was at dinner last time.

"Well, I’ll help you guys move tomorrow. The job you arranged for me, Ah Hui... I’ll call the foreman tonight and quit. It just so happens he has a relative waiting in line for the job, so he should be happy to see me go!"

Zhao Hui was about to say they didn’t have much to move—just daily necessities and some clothes—but seeing the eager look on his uncle’s face, he thought for a moment and decided not to refuse.

On Sunday, overtime had been scheduled at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park.

At 9:30 AM, a Glory 009 business van slowly drove in. The vehicle belonged to the Junxiao Group, and its license plate had been registered in the system that morning on the orders of President Feng Feifei, so it was allowed to drive straight through.

"Xinxin, they’re here!"

Qiao Xin, who worked at the front desk, had also been scheduled for overtime today. As the "flower of the front desk," she was the face of the company.

The reception staff in the lobby had received a notification five minutes before the vehicle’s arrival.

At that moment, a team led by Vice President Chang Wei was already waiting on the first floor.

Qiao Xin had been full of resentment about working overtime, but when she heard it was all because of a call from Brother Chen Xiao—something President Feng was taking very seriously—her complaints vanished completely.

Chen Xiao had a way of making people happy, and Qiao Xin was more than happy to be one of them.

Originally, Feng Feifei had planned to handle the reception personally, since it was a matter of great importance to Chen Xiao. However, he later dissuaded her.

Business receptions require a certain parity in rank. Hassan was clearly not important enough to warrant a personal reception from the president of a major tech corporation like Feng Feifei. Having Vice President Chang Wei greet him was already a generous gesture.

That’s right—today’s visitors were Hassan and Xiao Qi.

After Chen Xiao had spoken with Xu Wu the previous day, Xu Wu had called Xiao Qi to the company. She carefully went over Chen Xiao’s idea, organized her thoughts, and then conveyed a more complete plan to Xiao Qi.

According to Chen Xiao’s plan, Hassan would first establish an international security company, and Junxiao Capital would provide the financial investment.

Junxiao Group wasn’t particularly concerned with the financial returns on this investment. What the group valued more was having a force to protect its interests as it expanded its business overseas in the future.

Naturally, a force they cultivated themselves would be the most reliable.

No one understood Hassan’s past and abilities better than Xiao Qi, and she wholeheartedly agreed with President Xu’s arrangement.

She also knew that if Junxiao Capital was willing to support Hassan, his international security company was destined to shine.

His men were almost all battle-hardened veterans. The only things they lacked were funding and resources—precisely what the Junxiao Group could provide.

As Xu Wu’s bodyguard, Xiao Qi had some understanding of the group’s financial might. A single hair from the Junxiao Group was thicker than Hassan and his men’s entire family fortunes combined.

That was why Xiao Qi rarely said anything whenever Hassan brought up his thirty million US dollars. She didn’t want to crush his spirits.

Today, Xiao Qi was taking Hassan to tour the exhibition hall at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park to see their existing advanced products and some of the products that were already greenlit and currently in development.

Chang Wei’s job for the day was simply to host them and explain the products, without getting into any matters of cooperation.

Of course, Chang Wei wouldn’t be the one giving the explanations; there were professional presenters for that.

Hassan had a deep admiration for Huaxia culture. During his two days in Jiangzhou, he had marveled at everything he saw. Today, upon arriving at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park, he saw that it was landscaped with rockeries and gardens more beautiful than the parks in the regions where he usually operated.

He kept remarking on how impressive the company was, to which Xiao Qi calmly replied, "Wait until the Junxiao Group’s new office tower is built. Then you’ll know what real power looks like."

On the way over, Xiao Qi had explained the close partnership between Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park and the Junxiao Group.

Hassan’s entire understanding of the Junxiao Group had been instilled in him by Xiao Qi, whom he trusted implicitly. Hearing her words, he nodded, his belief in them unwavering.
