Chapter 200: Chapter 168: All Big Moves

"It’s kind of funny, actually. All of Miss Xu’s key players are surnamed Xu. It’s a homophone for her own surname, just with a different character... heh heh."

Li Xiao shot a look at Gao Yue, who was laughing awkwardly to herself. "That’s definitely not some hiring preference of hers. Whether it’s President Xu Jun or Mr. Xu Gang, they were already the heads of their respective fields!"

Gao Yue knew that, of course; she was just joking.

"By the way, Ah Yue, has President Ding assigned you to the Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car project yet?"

Gao Yue shook her head. "President Ding talked to me once to ask for my thoughts. Honestly, I know he’d rather I take over the public relations department, mainly to manage the relationship with Junxiao Investment Group."

"And I’d actually prefer to just be a pretty face. With Miss Xu looking out for me, I’ll make good money without having to work too hard! Whenever I visit the company’s different divisions, they all treat me like a top executive!"

Hearing this, Li Xiao couldn’t help but laugh. "Ah Yue, I’m realizing we really do speak the same language. We even like the same things!"

Gao Yue burst out laughing. Wasn’t that the truth? The two of them used to hang out together every day, and for fun, they’d compare themselves to Xu Wu.

Now that they knew they weren’t in the same league as Xu Wu, they had given up on competing. Instead, both had, without discussion, chosen to curry favor with her.

Junxiao Investment Group was now directly controlling or holding shares in more and more companies. If they served Xu Wu well, they could bring massive profits to their respective companies.

Take the restructured Junxing Auto, for instance. Once it was up and running, Jiefei Technology could easily get some orders. As long as Li Xiao asked, Xu Gang would likely oblige. After all, he’d run into her at headquarters twice in the last few days and knew she was President Xu’s best friend.

The same went for Gao Yue. Ding Yong had now entered the auto sales industry, and Junxing Auto was about to start establishing its nationwide distribution channels, creating even greater opportunities for future collaboration.

This wasn’t just for their companies’ benefit. Many people now knew about their close relationship with Xu Wu. Plenty of those who couldn’t get close to Xu Wu would settle for the next best thing: fawning over this pair, hoping to use them to climb the social ladder.

In Jiangzhou’s business circles, these two now had even more clout than their own bosses. The average small-time boss could no longer squeeze into their social circle.

"Xiao Xiao, Ah Yue!" After listening to Xu Gang’s report, Xu Wu came to get them herself.

Perhaps it was out of fondness for her old classmates, or perhaps it was a deliberate display of approachability. Whatever the reason, for someone of her current status to personally come out and greet them...

Gao Yue and Li Xiao were moved beyond words. This was a huge show of respect!

’When Mr. Xu Gang comes to report on his work, Xu Wu probably just waits for him behind her desk.’

She led them to her office, a place they had visited many times and knew well.

Xu Wu was about to pour the tea herself, but Gao Yue quickly stopped her. "Let us! We feel right at home here; we know our way around!"

Xu Wu didn’t argue, letting her be. She sat down in the host’s seat on the guest sofa and said, "I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been in touch."

Li Xiao was much more gentle and refined in her presence now. She said softly, "It’s a huge enterprise, after all. But no matter how busy you are, you have to remember to rest. Your health is the most important thing!"

As she poured the tea, Gao Yue added, "That’s right. If you have any errands, just tell us to run them. There’s work you have to do yourself, but for anything you can delegate, just assign it to us!"

Xu Wu smiled. "In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony with you two from now on!"

Li Xiao immediately sat up straight. "What’s there to be formal about? The fact that you’d give us tasks means you think highly of us!"

Xu Wu smiled and shook her head. "We were classmates. Don’t be so distant."

"However, I actually do have something to trouble you with right now."

Gao Yue and Li Xiao said in unison, "Name it!"

Xu Wu had been planning to go back to her hometown soon to buy a house for her parents. But this wasn’t like buying groceries, where you could just pick one and be done.

She needed to visit several properties to check them out, but one thing after another had come up recently, and she simply couldn’t get away. Now, she was even working in the office on weekends.

She knew that Gao Yue and Li Xiao weren’t very busy right now, so she asked them to go back and help pick out a property. That way, she could just go and finalize the purchase directly.

This was a great opportunity!

They knew Xu Wu was a very filial daughter. Helping her with something for her parents was the easiest way to get on her good side.

It was an opportunity neither of them was willing to pass up.

Both Li Xiao and Gao Yue wanted to take the job. After a quick discussion, they decided to do it together. It was a perfect excuse to return to their hometown county and revisit old haunts.

The reason Xu Wu asked them was also because they, like her, were from Qingyun County and were very familiar with the area. Furthermore, Gao Yue’s boss, Ding Yong, was a relatively major local real estate developer in Han River, and Gao Yue herself was professionally trained. When it came to buying a house, she couldn’t be more knowledgeable.

After that was settled, the three of them started to chat idly.

During their chat, Gao Yue asked, "You’re so busy now, you probably don’t get much of a chance to see Chen Xiao, do you?"

Xu Wu thought about it. It was true. ’That lazy bum, Chen Xiao. He used to come running here every day when things were quiet. Now that I’m swamped, he’s probably afraid I’ll ask him for help with everything, so he’s been showing up less!’

’What kind of person is he? Who runs a business like that?’ A look of resentment couldn’t help but creep onto her face.

"Sigh, Chen Xiao is really lucky to have you. For this Tianqi Auto acquisition, just the smart factory upgrades and the joint R&D center with Dr. Feng’s Robot will cost tens of billions! And you gave all those orders to him."

Li Xiao added, "He’s probably the world’s first salesman to land a ten-billion-yuan order while lying down!"

Her phrase "while lying down" was rather ambiguous, and it instantly made Xu Wu think of the time Chen Xiao had asked her if she wanted to be on top or on the bottom.

Xu Wu had ultimately chosen the fourth floor of Bihu Twin Seals. She still preferred to be on top.

In the last two days, she had bought all the necessary household items after work. She could finally move in tonight!
