My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 227: Chapter 177: Screen Name: "Hello, President Chen!

"Okay, I’ll go with your arrangement."

Chen Xiao smiled and clapped him on the shoulder. "Go on, get back to work."

The two of them didn’t have much in common. With a personality like Ren Jie’s, he was definitely the one getting bossed around by Xu Jia at home.

’If I move him to the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center and bump up his salary,’ Chen Xiao thought, ’maybe his status at home will improve now that he’s making more money!’

Chen Xiao returned to his desk, grabbed his bag, and told Ma Jing, "I’m heading out!"

Leaving a room full of envious gazes behind, Zhao Rui and Ji Kang whispered to each other, "Look at how carefree Chen Xiao is. He comes and goes as he pleases! There’s always someone to peel his fruit or hand him a pillow when he wants to rest!"

Ji Kang said, "I heard that after we move to the industrial park, the space will be bigger, and President Feng is having the engineering department build a large recreational area with a private lounge reserved inside."

Zhao Rui’s eyes lit up. "The perks are that good?"

Ji Kang chuckled. "What perks? You think that has anything to do with you?"

Zhao Rui let out a small gasp. "Don’t tell me it’s being made just for Chen Xiao."

"You’re not far off! I heard they’re only making two key cards for it: one for Sister Jing and one for Chen Xiao! Do you think people like you and me are worthy?"

Zhao Rui sighed. "Guess we should just focus on our sales targets and make some money."

Chen Xiao had nothing to do that afternoon and didn’t feel like going back to the Yunfeng Building. He scrolled through his contacts and gave Liu Haoran a call. He had never been to the Yinuo Jiangzhou Branch before, so he figured he’d drop by this afternoon.

In any case, Xiangjun owned a 32.5% stake in the company, and he himself had spearheaded their collaboration with Chanel. He ought to go take a look.

He called Liu Haoran to see if he was around. If not, he’d just go another day.

Liu Haoran was dumbfounded when he received the call. His first reaction was that President Chen was coming for a surprise inspection!

He had plans to play pool that afternoon with a few friends who were vendors. He didn’t have many hobbies, but he loved a good game of pool.

Yino had been making waves in their industry lately, so his vendor friends had been contacting him much more frequently.

And whenever they used to dine together, Liu Haoran would always be seated at the lower end of the table, or at a secondary main table at best. But recently, he was always given the seat of honor.

He broke out in a cold sweat at first, but after calming down, he figured President Chen couldn’t be bothered to meddle in his work. He was probably just dropping by because he had nothing to do, just as he’d said.

How could he possibly ask President Chen to reschedule? If he did, who knew when the next opportunity would arise!

For a man like President Chen to visit his office... even if it were his wedding night, he’d have to pause the proceedings and rush back. This was a godsent opportunity!

"President Chen, I’m here, I’m here! I’ll head to the entrance to greet you right away!"

Chen Xiao chuckled. "I’m still an hour away. What’s there to greet? I’m just dropping by. Don’t make a big fuss; I don’t like all that pomp."

Liu Haoran quickly replied, "Understood, understood!"

After hanging up, he immediately said, "Lin, Ma, something’s come up and I have to get back to the office right away. My apologies for today. I’ll treat you both some other time to make up for it!"

He was already grabbing his overcoat from the rack as he spoke, giving the two no chance to object.

"Liu, which President Chen is that? Someone from our circle?"

"No, you don’t know him," Liu Haoran said as he put on his coat.

He had no intention of introducing Chen Xiao to them. A connection like this had to be kept a closely guarded secret.

After Liu Haoran left, Lin said, "Judging by the way Liu was acting, some big shot must be visiting him."

Ma said, "Did you see him? He was practically jogging down the stairs. He’s not even that flustered when his wife does a spot check on him!"

Lin burst out laughing. "You’re right! Liu is famous for being afraid of his wife, but even she doesn’t make him this nervous. I’m getting really curious about who this President Chen is!"

Liu Haoran got into his executive car and ordered the driver, "Faster, back to the office! We need to be there in half an hour. It’s fine if you have to speed a little."

The driver acknowledged the order. ’That’s strange,’ he thought. ’President Liu is normally so cautious; he’d usually criticize me for going even a little too fast. Today he’s actually telling me to speed!’

Next, he heard President Liu call his assistant. "Xiaocai, grab a cab to my house right now. Get that Pu’er tea from my collection and bring it to the office. I’ll call your sister-in-law in a bit!"

The trip from the company to Liu Haoran’s home was only a ten-minute drive. The "sister-in-law" he had mentioned to Xiaocai was his wife.

Liu Haoran’s wife was a full-time homemaker and was usually at home.

Then he called the HR department. "Notify all departments to clean up their workstations within the next half hour. Everyone needs to maintain a professional appearance. I’ll be at the office shortly. Any department that fails to comply will have their year-end bonuses canceled!"

The driver thought, ’Good grief, what is President Liu up to? The last time he was this tense was when the CEO visited. Is the CEO coming again?’

Once Liu Haoran had made all the arrangements, he kept checking the time. Every minute felt like a year.

"Faster! There aren’t many cars ahead. Step on it!"

"Sir, I’m just worried about jostling you if I accelerate too hard!"

"What’s there to be afraid of? I’m not that old! Just go! Yes, yes, overtake that car!"

He watched the time and the road, directing the driver to speed up and pass other cars.

President Chen said he’d be an hour, but what if he arrived early? Liu Haoran was beside himself with anxiety.

But Chen Xiao was just aimlessly wandering around; how could he possibly be that fast? He was cruising along slowly in his Brabus G900.

The other cars on the road kept their distance, terrified that if they so much as bumped or scraped it, their insurance wouldn’t be enough to cover the damages.

Jin Wuxian was as persistent as they come, pestering Chen Xiao from morning till night to come visit him. He said he wanted to show Chen Xiao what a real "big corporation" looked like.

He was rambling on the phone right now. Chen Xiao, who had him on Bluetooth, waited for him to finish before saying, "Why don’t I come take a look when your company actually starts making money?"

"Your so-called ’big’ company is all fluff. Squeeze out all that debt and it’ll just pop."

"Fuck, Chen Xiao! You should be thanking your ancestors for an invitation from me! Do you know how many people would kill for this opportunity? How can you be like this..."

Chen Xiao really knew how to hit him where it hurt. Once Jin Wuxian heard Chen Xiao wasn’t coming, he lost his chance to show off and changed the subject. He asked if he had registered his account for tomorrow night’s livestream and what his screen name was.

Chen Xiao replied, "It’s all set. It’s called ’President Chen is Good!’"
