My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 240: Chapter 182: Bodyguard and Equity

He was finally discovering Chen Xiao’s talent for attracting haters!

It was also the first time he’d personally experienced what it was like to be a natural scapegoat.

After the live stream ended, Chen Xiao stretched lazily and looked at the pile of fruit in front of him. Zhao Xiangjun had peeled it all for him while he was on air.

Good thing he didn’t show his face on stream, or he might have become the entire platform’s public enemy number one!

The moment he finished, he received a message from Xu Wu: "Hello, President Chen!"

It was followed by a string of laughing emojis!

Chen Xiao knew she must have watched the entire live stream and was just messaging to tease him; there was nothing else to it.

He replied, "Oh, you watched the stream? Even better. Tell Xu Gang to get a move on. Even if he has to raise the rent, I want that Feichi Auto storefront back!"

"Also, tell Xu Jun to hurry it up. Why isn’t the acquisition of Tianlong Square sorted out yet?"

Xu Wu simply replied, "Roger that, big boss!"

True to her word, she immediately called the two President Xus and relayed Chen Xiao’s instructions.

Both President Xus sensed the Group’s leadership was unhappy with their progress. Beyond promising to give it their all and speed things up, they each provided a concrete deadline.

They could clearly sense that their new boss was nothing like those at their previous companies. Here, if you were given a task, you were expected to report back.

And you were expected to deliver results, fast.

Both President Xus treasured their current jobs and knew what it took to keep the bosses happy.

For the past two days, Dr. Feng’s Robot had been incredibly busy.

Feng Feifei was hardly ever in her office because she was busy managing the company’s relocation.

The 40-acre industrial park they had purchased already had a 28-story office building. Every floor was beautifully finished, so the layout wouldn’t require any major alterations.

There was also an apartment building for top talent on the property.

Feng Feifei had been busy with this for the past two days. On top of that, headhunters had recommended a large number of management candidates, and she had to interview every single one.

Between interviewing candidates for the Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group headquarters and personnel for the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center, Feng Feifei felt so busy she could barely breathe.

’Other bosses worried about not having enough business,’ she thought. ’Our boss worries about having too much!’

Chen Xiao, of course, wouldn’t get involved in the "dirty work" of moving. He was back in the old office, playing video games.

And wasn’t it nice to be doted on by his assistant?

He was getting even more demanding now. Before, he would only have Ma Jing peel fruit or buy him lunch.

Now, when he got tired from gaming, he even had her rub his shoulders. Luckily, he was at least mindful of appearances.

He always had her give him shoulder and back rubs in the meeting room—a private space, so it wouldn’t look too bad.

What he didn’t realize was that this supposedly discreet behavior was actually counterproductive. It only made people think of that old office adage: "If there’s work, the assistant does it. If there’s no work, you do the assistant."

Every time they came out, the cleaning lady would go in and make a point of glancing into the trash can.

She would even mutter, "Kids these days... so reckless. They don’t even use protection... What if she gets pregnant?"

She never stopped to think that if they had actually brought the "tools of the trade," they’d obviously take the evidence with them when they left, wouldn’t they?

Of course, Chen Xiao was oblivious to all this. If he ever heard these rumors, he would feel deeply insulted. ’If I were to really get down to it, would I be done in half an hour?’

’It would last from lunch all the way to afternoon tea! What are these people thinking? Who do they think they’re looking down on?’

By now, the company’s veteran employees all turned a blind eye to Chen Xiao’s antics. They all knew he was a special case—the kind of person that if he so much as yawned, President Feng himself would rush over with a pillow.

Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group had recently hired a lot of new people, most of whom had already settled in at the new park. The old hands from this office would move over after a grand opening ceremony was held at the new site.

For the past two days, the veterans’ minds weren’t on their work. They were about to move to a new environment, and to a campus the company actually owned. The employees felt a shared sense of honor, bursting with pride.

"Xinxin, I heard the new campus has four cafeterias alone!"

"Hee hee, I heard they’re expanding the reception team, too. It’s not going to be like here. The new place houses several business divisions, but each one operates independently!"

"Who knows, maybe we’ll get to be junior managers over there..."

"I don’t want to be a junior manager. I want to be Chen Xiao’s assistant..."

"Then I’m sure you’re not interested in the part where ’if there’s work, the assistant does it’..."

"What are you talking about? You’re awful..."

The office was abuzz with talk about Chen Xiao. Whether they loved him, hated him, or envied him, he was undeniably the center of attention.

Chen Xiao didn’t like this feeling. He preferred peace and quiet and hated being the subject of attention and gossip. ’Maybe things will get better after the move to Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park,’ he thought.

After all, the new park already had close to 4,000 employees. As business expanded, that number would grow to several thousand, then tens of thousands.

’As a humble salesman who normally keeps a low profile, surely no one will pay me much mind there!’

This reminded him of Junxiao Group. When Junxiao Capital was first established, the 28th floor of Yunfeng Building had been quite spacious.

How much time had passed since then? With the group’s constant expansion, the 28th floor was now packed to the brim, except for the area around the chairman’s office, which Xu Wu had intentionally kept clear for his peace and quiet.

Considering the Group was still in its early stages, and with rapid growth on the horizon, building a dedicated corporate headquarters was becoming an urgent matter.

Fortunately, this was just the corporate headquarters. Since production and manufacturing were handled elsewhere, there was no need to build a massive campus on the scale of the one for Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group.
