My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 206: Chapter 170: Conscripted

President Wu asked, "A company leader?"

Wu Fang said with a straight face, "Our big boss and second boss!"

President Wu was instantly filled with awe. The bosses of Junxiao Square! These were titans!

He knew he wasn’t in their league. If he could connect with people at that level, he wouldn’t be here begging and pleading with a mere operations manager!

Chen Xiao had texted Zhao Hui to see if he was around. He didn’t have any real business; he just happened to be at Junxiao Square and decided to pop in for a look.

As he neared the office area, he saw Zhao Hui and a middle-aged man in his fifties. Judging by his aura, the man was clearly used to being in charge. The two of them were hurrying out of the office.

Zhao Hui spotted Chen Xiao and immediately jogged over. Poor Xu Jun, despite being in his fifties, had no choice but to jog along for a few steps too!

Panting, they reached Chen Xiao and exclaimed almost in unison, "President Chen!"

Chen Xiao nodded. "Sorry for popping in unannounced. Don’t let me interrupt your work."

With that, he followed Zhao Hui’s lead into the office area.

Xu Jun thought to himself, ’And they call this not putting on airs?’ He followed closely behind.

Wu Fang, wondering if something big was happening at the company, was in no mood to keep making small talk with President Wu and Tao Yong. "You two should head back for now," he said. "I’ll let you know if there’s any news."

He stood up and looked outside.

President Wu and Tao Yong had no choice. They asked where the restroom was, figuring they’d use it and then check back. If it was convenient, they’d chat a bit more; if not, they’d have to try again next time.

Wu Fang appeared casual, but he was actually keeping a close eye on the activity outside. Just then, he heard President Zhao’s voice: "This is our business development department, this is our engineering department, and over there is accounting!"

He was giving a tour of the office layout. Wu Fang followed his gaze and froze.

Chen Xiao? He’d seen him at Dr. Feng’s Robot. Except that day, Chen Xiao had his assistant dismiss him. The company had given him a 10-million-yuan order back then, and Wu Fang had always assumed he was some relative of President Zhao’s, or maybe President Zhao’s front man.

Why else would President Zhao look out for him so much? But looking at the scene today... good heavens! President Zhao was giving the tour personally, with President Xu tagging along deferentially.

’It seems this Chen Xiao’s identity is anything but ordinary!’

A moment later, the group walked over to Wu Fang. Zhao Hui had no intention of introducing him.

But Chen Xiao saw him and gave a nod.

He remembered that Chen Xiao had also given him a nod to say hello back at Dr. Feng’s Robot, but the feeling was completely different!

Back then, he’d felt the man was arrogant and disrespectful. Today, however, he felt the man was so approachable, and it made him feel incredibly important!

Zhao Hui led Chen Xiao to the conference room. "President Xu is in a meeting with us. When she heard you were coming, she invited you to join."

Chen Xiao laughed. "Alright, I guess I can’t escape it. I come all the way here just to get drafted by her!"

Listening from behind, Xu Jun was amused. It was just as President Xu had predicted—President Chen was just trying to slack off.

Chen Xiao entered the conference room, sat down, and looked up to see Xu Wu on the large screen, watching him with a composed expression.

He scratched his head. "President Xu, look at me, taking time out of my busy schedule and coming all this way to the plaza just to attend your meeting!"

Xu Wu giggled. "More like you couldn’t get away, right? My feet don’t touch the ground I’m so busy every day, while you, the big boss, are out here playing emperor on an incognito visit!"

The two of them joked back and forth, leaving Xu Jun and Zhao Hui standing awkwardly to the side, unable to get a word in.

Xu Jun told an assistant to make tea for Chen Xiao, but Zhao Hui stopped him. "Go to my office and get the Fuding Silver Needle."

Chen Xiao had taken a liking to white tea recently. That Fuding Silver Needle had actually been a gift from Chen Xiao, and it was the best tea he had.

An inscrutable look appeared in Xu Jun’s eyes again. ’It seems the relationship between President Zhao and President Chen is quite special.’

’Of course. If it weren’t for that, how could a logistics guy from a retail company possibly become the business director of Junxiao Square? And why would President Xu show him so much favor?’

The answers to all these mysteries were being revealed today!

Chen Xiao sat down casually. "President Jun, President Hui, please, have a seat. Let’s get started. We shouldn’t keep President Xu waiting. She probably has a mountain of things piled up waiting for her."

Xu Jun began his report. "President Chen, President Xu, I will now report on the status of our acquisition talks for Tianlong Square and Wanhong Square."

Chen Xiao stood up. "You guys carry on. I’m gonna go take a piss."

Xu Jun was dumbfounded. ’So blunt!’

Xu Wu said from the screen, "President Xu, you may continue."

Chen Xiao was normally fine, he just liked to be a bit of a rogue sometimes. You just had to get used to it.

Chen Xiao asked for the restroom’s location and headed over. The moment he walked in, he was hit by a cloud of cigarette smoke that made him choke.

"Huh, Chen Xiao!"

Only then did Chen Xiao see, through the swirling smoke, that the two people puffing away were none other than Tao Yong and his boss, President Wu.

Being called out in a restroom was rather awkward. ’The main thing is, why are you two staring at me? You really want to watch me piss a river?’

"Oh, Tao Yong. You guys haven’t left yet?" he said as a greeting, then turned his back to them to take care of business.

It was unclear if President Wu was jealous of the powerful, robust sound of his stream hitting the urinal.

He spoke with the air of someone offering guidance, "Xiao Chen, you here on business too? I know the management here well. Want me to make an introduction for you?"

’You know them well? You think you know them better than I do?’

Chen Xiao said, "Thanks, but no thanks. I know them very well too."

President Wu chuckled. "We’re tight with their operations manager, Wu Fang. Who are you familiar with?"

He thought Chen Xiao was just bragging. ’A salesman, familiar with the leadership? If Tao Yong had come by himself, he wouldn’t have even gotten through the door!’

Chen Xiao gave himself a shake, knowing this President Wu was just trying to show off.

He was suddenly reminded of the saying: "Some people can piss ten yards against the wind, while others piss on their own shoes with the wind at their back."

People really are different...
