My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 241: Chapter 182: Bodyguard and Equity (Part 2)

He gave Xu Wu a call and told her to keep an eye on this matter.

Xu Wu chuckled coquettishly. "My dear big boss, you finally found a moment in your busy schedule to care about your humble servant’s work. I’ve been thinking about this, but I didn’t report to you because the plan wasn’t finalized yet. I was mainly afraid of spoiling your mood for gaming!"

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth in frustration. If she were next to him, he wondered if he’d spank her like he did back then.

Thinking of that time, he couldn’t help but recall that wonderful feeling. Now that Xu Wu was the group CEO, her aura had become even more refined.

She exuded an incredible charm, which was one of the main reasons Chen Xiao didn’t dare get too close to her now. He was truly afraid of making a mistake.

And he could sense that if he really were to make a mistake, Xu Wu might actually indulge him.

’Sigh. It’s so hard to be disciplined. You sirens are all messing with my resolve!’

But some things were unavoidable. As the big boss of the group, the one at home was like a fairy who didn’t partake in worldly affairs. Zhao Xiangjun had no interest in business matters; she didn’t even have a concept of money.

If he didn’t get involved and just dumped everything on Xu Wu, it seemed a bit too much.

From an outsider’s perspective, entrusting such a huge business to a professional manager was, one had to admit, a bold move.

From his own perspective, he understood and trusted Xu Wu deeply, but he couldn’t just use her like a robot. Besides, there were some occasions where it might not be entirely appropriate for Xu Wu to be the one to show up. He couldn’t just be an ostrich hiding his head in the sand forever.

Therefore, he was now slowly starting to participate in some company affairs.

For example, with Junxing Auto, the old him would never have participated in something like "Xiangzi 7:30," nor would he have registered for a WeCircle account.

Another example: today was the grand opening of Ganglong International’s "Sa Mo" brand, and Zhang Shijie had cordially invited him to be there to "provide guidance."

Ganglong International’s "Sa Mo" was the first directly-operated "Sa Mo" store to open in the entire Yino Group, and it was also the first store in the country to launch with a Chanel co-branded collection.

To this end, Ganglong International had also done a great deal of publicity and promotion.

At the same time, the special release items had already sold out online long ago. On the day of the opening, a three-meter cordon was set up outside the store, with mall security on-site to maintain order.

This was the first time the entire Yino Group had witnessed such a scene. None of Yino Group’s previous brands had ever had a launch experience like this.

Thus, Liu Haoran and Xu Jia were under immense pressure, terrified that even the smallest thing might go wrong.

Today, they had specially invited Huang Guangyuan, the general manager of Ganglong International, for the opening ribbon-cutting, and Huang Guangyuan had given them plenty of face.

Even so, for a group CEO like Zhang Shijie to make a special trip to Jiangzhou just for this was a bit of an exaggeration, but at least he had a legitimate excuse.

What was different from before was that this time, he didn’t have Liu Haoran arrange for staff from the Yinuo Jiangzhou Branch to accompany him. He only requested that Liu Haoran himself be there.

Liu Haoran could read between the lines; he understood President Zhang’s true purpose for coming to Jiangzhou.

Zhang Shijie was driving over from Shanghai, so of course he wouldn’t make it for the grand opening rush, and even if he could have, he wouldn’t have.

Bosses cared about results; none of them were interested in participating in such a chaotic and complicated process. Most importantly, Zhang Shijie had asked for Chen Xiao’s opinion.

Chen Xiao, naturally, had no intention of squeezing his way through a sea of people, so Zhang Shijie had specifically arranged to arrive in the evening.

By that time, the customers who had won the purchase lottery for the launch items would have already collected their coveted goods and left, leaving only the store’s regular customers. It wouldn’t be too crowded.

Moreover, they could look around the store and then have dinner with President Chen to deepen their relationship. This was what Zhang Shijie valued most.

As for dinner, however, Chen Xiao didn’t let him arrange it. He had Xu Wu prepare dinner at the Celestial Star Pavilion in the Yunfeng Building. It was quieter there and more suitable for conversation.

Huang Guangyuan canceled all his client meetings for the afternoon because he heard from Liu Haoran that President Chen would be coming to Ganglong International.

He hoped for a chance to meet President Chen but didn’t know what time he would arrive. Moreover, he heard that the CEO of Yino Group was accompanying him, which made his own status feel a bit lower.

He could only wait to be summoned by President Chen.

But to his excitement, President Chen replied to his message, telling him he would drop by his office in the afternoon and also inviting him to dinner.

Huang Guangyuan’s face was flushed with excitement. All morning, while approving documents, he was pleasant and smiling to all his subordinates, which was an unfamiliar sight for them.

They were all wondering what was up with Mr. Huang, who was usually as stern as Judge Bao. Had he found a new lease on life?

The floor manager was a nervous wreck today. When the luxury brand on the first floor had its grand opening, Mr. Huang only came down to check twice.

For this "Sa Mo" opening, Mr. Huang had already run down five or six times today, making the staff on the entire floor tense.

Even the cleaning staff shortened their lunch breaks, hastily cleaning up any speck of dirt in the public areas.

An employee complained, "What’s with Huang today? It’s just the ’Sa Mo’ opening. So what if they have a co-branded clothing item with Chanel? It’s not like Chanel itself is opening. Why does he keep running down to our floor?"

"Tell me about it. I’ve been at Ganglong International for three years, and the total number of times I’ve seen Mr. Huang doesn’t add up to how many times I’ve seen him today!"

"Heh, what’s your rank? You don’t even have the chance to enter his office area normally..."

Chen Xiao didn’t drive his own car today. The moment Zhang Shijie arrived in Jiangzhou, he contacted him and came to pick him up.

When he reached the parking lot, he saw Zhang Shijie standing in front of an Alphard, with a Buick GL8 following behind.
