My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 159: Chapter 155: New Official, Burning the Chained Camps

Zhao Xiangjun looked bewildered. "An inflatable doll? What’s it for? Like a cloth doll?"

Chen Xiao burst out laughing. "It’s a toy for grown men. But I don’t need one—I have my darling Xiangjun!"

Zhao Xiangjun instantly understood what an inflatable doll was. She scoffed, "You’re always so indecent!"

She pulled a key from a drawer and tossed it to Chen Xiao. "Drive a new car tomorrow. I bought you the kind of car all men love!"

Chen Xiao grinned slyly. "Babe, I want to go for a drive right now!"

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes. "Are you nuts? It’s the middle of the night, and you’ve been drinking. What driving are you going to do!"

Chen Xiao stood, pulled her into his arms, and swept her up. "Come on, let’s go for a drive..."

He kept ’driving’ for a full two hours and still wasn’t tired...

With an Endurance of 102, he was in complete control of his power—unleashing it with unstoppable force!

By the end, Zhao Xiangjun couldn’t help but cry out, "Chen Xiao, I’m buying you that inflatable doll tomorrow..."

He surrendered at once. ’If I don’t give in now and she really buys one, what fun will be left for me in the future!’

「Junxiao Square.」

The old and new property owners had completed the handover. Because the vast majority of the management staff hadn’t been replaced, the transition was much quicker than expected.

There weren’t many personnel changes involved. Most people were reluctant to leave such a great place to work; after all, the environment was pleasant and the pay was high.

What stunned everyone was that the Vice President of Business Operations had been replaced. Aside from the General Manager, this was the most important position in the company.

The previous VP had toiled for over a decade, finally climbing the ladder after a long, arduous wait. How could he be ousted in one fell swoop?

People wondered if President Xu didn’t like him and had used the handover as an excuse to replace him.

Other rumors claimed the order had come from the parent corporation. The gossip mill was turning, but it was hard to tell fact from fiction.

Xu Jun held Zhao Hui’s resume, his thoughts a tangled mess.

’If it were up to me,’ he thought, ’Zhao Hui clearly isn’t qualified to be the VP of Business Operations. I’d be doing him a favor just by making him a floor supervisor.’

’Above a floor supervisor is an operations manager, and only above the operations manager is the VP of Business Operations!’

’Is this Zhao Hui being sent in as VP a spy the corporation has planted to watch me?’ He couldn’t help but wonder.

’It seems I still haven’t earned President Xu’s trust, whereas Zhao Hui is clearly in the big boss’s good graces.’

During the morning meeting, Xu Jun had already introduced Zhao Hui to the management team. Today was Zhao Hui’s first day at Junxiao Square.

The office environment here was a clear step up from Yino. Back at Yino, only Liu Haoran had a private office; everyone else worked in an open-plan area.

Here at Junxiao Square, the VP of Business Operations had his own private office.

The office was spacious and bright, furnished with a Chinese-style executive desk and bookshelf. Across from the desk sat a simple sofa for guests.

It wasn’t a huge space, but it was very stylish.

Zhao Hui would have never dreamed he’d one day be working in an environment like this for a monthly salary of 50,000.

The extension on his desk rang. "Hello."

"President Zhao, could you come to my office for a moment?"

The call was from Xu Jun. When the General Manager summoned him, he naturally had to go at once.

He hung up and went straight to Xu Jun’s office. Their offices were separated only by a reception room, making it a short walk.

"Come in, President Zhao. Have a seat."

Xu Jun personally poured a glass of water and set it in front of Zhao Hui, who quickly leaned forward to express his thanks. He held a great deal of respect for Xu Jun.

Leaving aside their professional hierarchy, Xu Jun’s long and successful career in the Han River business world was enough to earn Zhao Hui’s respect.

"This morning’s meeting was very formal, so I wanted to invite you over for a more casual chat."

Zhao Hui hurriedly replied, "Thank you, President Xu. I hope I’ll have many opportunities to learn from you."

Xu Jun laughed and waved his hand dismissively. "President Zhao, we’re a team now, so there’s no need to be so formal. We must cooperate well to ensure our work proceeds smoothly."

According to the division of labor at the square, the General Manager was responsible not only for overseeing all operations but also for handling external relationships and public relations with various key departments.

The VP of Business Operations, meanwhile, was tasked with handling internal affairs like tenant recruitment and daily operations, all in accordance with the parent company’s goals and the General Manager’s directives.

Zhao Hui navigated the conversation with caution. President Xu was shrewd and calculating; every sentence seemed to carry a deeper meaning that required careful thought.

Zhao Hui knew he wasn’t on that level, but thankfully, he was prudent. He considered every question carefully before daring to speak.

He managed to hold his own. Walking out of Xu Jun’s office, he took a deep breath. ’There’s so much I need to learn!’

’Just dealing with people is a profound skill in itself, and that’s not even mentioning all the operational tasks. My head is a complete mess.’

’Thankfully, I have a leasing manager and an operations manager to help me.’

The leasing manager was a holdover from the previous team, but the operations manager was a new hire.

The new operations manager was named Wu Fang. He’d been recruited from Wansheng Square and was very familiar with their operational systems.

For now, Junxiao Square was sticking to the old playbook. There hadn’t been any major changes, which was to be expected right after a handover. Changes would likely come later, with time.

Whenever a new boss takes over, savvy subordinates will find an excuse to report on something, even if it’s not urgent. It’s a way to get on the new leader’s radar and make a good first impression.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

"Come in!" Zhao Hui’s voice was growing more resonant and forceful, a clear sign of his increasing confidence.

Wu Fang entered and said, "President Zhao, there are a couple of things I need to report."

Zhao Hui recalled how Liu Haoran used to greet his subordinates and, trying to emulate him, smiled. "Manager Wu, please, have a seat."
