My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 157: Chapter 154: A Smart Mouth and Off Her Meds

Gao Yue, who was still single and inexperienced, scoffed at her words. "What kind of nonsense is this? If you’re going to pull this kind of stunt in the future, leave me out of it!"

It was too embarrassing!

Arriving at Li Guoqiang’s private room, Gao Yue knocked and went inside. She immediately saw four people, two of whom she recognized.

Li Guoqiang and Chen Xiao!

"Come in, come in, Xiao Gao!"

’Xiao Gao?’ Li Man glanced cautiously at Gao Yue, surprised to see no reaction. She had expected her to be upset.

To think that the normally proud and quite influential President Gao would be called Xiao Gao.

Chen Xiao saw Gao Yue as well and gave her a nod. Then he noticed the thirty-something woman following her, who was staring at him with a look of pleasant surprise.

A closer look revealed it was the same woman who hadn’t been watching where she was going and had bumped right into him before dinner.

"President Li, I brought a friend over to offer a toast!"

Li Guoqiang stood up as well. "Let me make an introduction. This is Chen Xiao. You two should know each other, right?"

He knew Gao Yue was Xu Wu’s best friend, and he had his suspicions about Xu Wu’s relationship with Chen Xiao, so he figured Gao Yue and Chen Xiao must be acquainted.

Gao Yue smiled charmingly. "Of course, we know each other."

Li Guoqiang then introduced Cha Lan. "This is President Cha of Zhi Fei Aerospace!"

’Zhi Fei Aerospace, the company Xu Wu used to work for?’ Gao Yue greeted Cha Lan politely; he was, after all, Xu Wu’s former boss.

Last was Yang Ming, whom he briefly introduced as the vice president of his company.

Li Man wasn’t paying any attention to the rest of the introductions. Her eyes were glued to Chen Xiao as she thought to herself, ’It’s fate! It’s destiny! This must be what they mean by being connected by the red string of fate!’

Chen Xiao wondered why she was staring at him. If he knew what was going through her mind, he probably would have thrown his drink in her face.

Gao Yue introduced Li Man as the owner of a decoration company, hoping that everyone would consider her for any future renovation projects.

Li Man was very polite to Li Guoqiang and Cha Lan, but when she got to Chen Xiao, she said flirtatiously, "Well, handsome, it seems we’re really fated to meet!"

HOLY CRAP!

WHAT THE HELL!

Li Guoqiang and Gao Yue both drew in a sharp breath. ’Has this woman lost her mind?’

Li Guoqiang knew Chen Xiao’s net worth. ’How dare a woman like you try to hook up with him?’

A cold sweat broke out on Gao Yue’s brow. She had always thought of Chen Xiao as Xu Wu’s boyfriend, and Xu Wu was currently her biggest supporter.

’You’re trying to poach from my backer? You’re trying to hit on my best friend’s man? Do you have any idea that even I wouldn’t dare try something like that?’

She quickly tugged on Li Man’s arm. "President Li, let’s toast all the bosses together!"

But Li Man was blinded by her infatuation. After downing the drink, she sidled up to him again. "Hey handsome, let’s add each other on WeChat. You should come visit my company when you have time! Your boss and I are very close!"

WHAT THE FUCK. ’What kind of freak are you?’ The hairs on Li Guoqiang’s arms stood on end. He could see that Chen Xiao’s expression had turned very ugly.

Chen Xiao now understood exactly what this woman was trying to do, and it thoroughly disgusted him. With a cold face, he shot a glare at Gao Yue.

Gao Yue was so frightened her wine glass nearly slipped from her hand. It finally dawned on her: the "handsome young guy" Li Man had mentioned earlier, the one she’d taken a liking to, was Chen Xiao.

’Oh my god, if you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!’ She grabbed Li Man, stammered an apology to the room, and fled from Li Guoqiang’s private room.

Once outside, she wiped the sweat from her forehead. "President Li, are you trying to get me killed?!"

Li Man still didn’t understand what had happened. Gao Yue said, "That was Chen Xiao. If you try to make a move on him again, our friendship is over!"

Li Man let out a cry of surprise, then said after a long pause, "President Gao, if you’re interested in him too, then I wouldn’t dare compete with you!"

Faced with a choice between a handsome man and her own interests, she rationally chose the latter!

Gao Yue couldn’t be bothered to explain. She grumbled internally, ’Even if I were interested in him, I wouldn’t dare show it!’

Back in their own private room, Li Man was apparently still hung up on Chen Xiao. She remarked to Hou Fei with a hint of regret, "Dr. Hou, I just ran into that subordinate of yours again. He’s surprisingly well-connected, knows all the big shots!"

Only then did it click for Gao Yue. When Li Man had first introduced Hou Fei, she had only mentioned that he was a doctor who had returned from Germany, not the company he worked for.

With Li Man’s comment, she asked in surprise, "Dr. Hou, you’re with Dr. Feng’s Robot Co., Ltd.?"

Hou Fei nodded with a slight smile. "Yes. Vice General Manager and CTO."

Gao Yue was stunned. ’Then why are you asking me to help you find investors? Wouldn’t it be more effective to just keep Chen Xiao happy and have him put in a good word during some pillow talk?’

Little did she know how complicated their superior-subordinate relationship was.

"Chen Xiao is your company’s top salesperson, isn’t he?"

Gao Yue remembered Xu Wu mentioning during their last meal together that Chen Xiao had closed deals worth tens of millions. She also knew that many of the companies Xu Wu had recently invested in were being prompted to seek out Chen Xiao from Dr. Feng’s Robot for any relevant R&D business.

’His sales volume must be astronomical by now. With a girlfriend doing everything in her power to bring him business, he can practically make money in his sleep!’

Make money in his sleep? The phrase suddenly conjured some not-safe-for-work images in Gao Yue’s mind.

Hou Fei nodded. "Yes, he’s very good at what he does."

Li Man smiled. "Dr. Hou, your subordinates are so outstanding! It’s true what they say: a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command!"

’Subordinate?’ Gao Yue found that strange. ’This subordinate seems way more impressive than his boss.’

The boss was so timid and cautious in her presence, yet a single glare from Chen Xiao had, for some reason, made her heart pound with fear.

She felt he had more of an aura of authority than even Ding Yong.

Hou Fei gave an awkward laugh. He didn’t like talking about Chen Xiao. Every mention of his name made him uncomfortable; the two of them just didn’t get along.
