My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 244: Chapter 183: Winning Over and Pledging Allegiance (Part 2)

Huang Guangyuan was on the verge of tears. He was a grown man, usually so steady that people said he’d remain calm even if the sky were falling.

But right now, his face was beet red, and there was nothing he could do. He was also worried that if President Chen arrived and he wasn’t there to greet him immediately, it would be rude and leave a bad impression.

So he sent his vice president down to greet him first, but then he worried President Chen would misunderstand and think he wasn’t taking him seriously.

All he could do was tell Gu Yan the truth and have him explain on his behalf. It was truly an awkward situation for everyone.

Hearing Gu Yan’s stammering explanation, Chen Xiao almost burst out laughing.

He turned his head away and only turned back after a long moment, his expression under control. "President Gu, it’s alright. You go back and take care of things. I’ll head up with President Zhang and President Liu from Yino in a bit."

"Tell Mr. Huang not to be so formal."

Gu Yan didn’t dare to leave, still wanting to wait for Huang Guangyuan. Chen Xiao spoke again, "You don’t have to wait here with me. I’d like a moment of quiet. We can talk once we’re in the office."

He extended his hand to shake Gu Yan’s. Gu Yan was stunned by the honor.

He still didn’t know who President Chen was, but anyone who could nearly drive Huang Guangyuan to tears had to be a terrifyingly important figure.

Since Chen Xiao said he wanted some quiet, Gu Yan didn’t dare to disturb him and could only go back to report.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to enjoy the peace and quiet, someone next to him spoke up. "Hey, man. You in sales too?"

He turned his head and saw a tall, handsome man standing beside him, decked out in Armani and wearing a Vacheron Constantin. He had the look of someone who loved to flaunt his wealth.

Chen Xiao was definitely richer and more handsome than this man, but he just couldn’t pull off that "I’m the richest, I’m the most handsome" vibe.

He was still wearing the clothes from Yi Rui that Zhao Xiangjun had bought for him back then. Of course, he had worn them today specifically for his meeting with Zhang Shijie and Liu Haoran as a gesture of goodwill.

The watch on his wrist was also the Omega that Zhao Xiangjun had given him. He didn’t seem to have much desire for material possessions, a trait he shared with Zhao Xiangjun. It really was a case of like attracting like.

Zhao Xiangjun never went shopping in luxury stores just because she was rich now. Instead, she often went with Xu Jia to browse the roasted nuts and seeds stalls at the big market and eat things like duck blood vermicelli soup, rice noodles, and cold skin noodles.

’Are they the weirdest pair of billionaires in the world or what?’

When it came to high-end luxury goods, they didn’t want them when they couldn’t afford them, and they still didn’t want them when they could.

Seeing it was someone he didn’t know, Chen Xiao just nodded without saying anything.

The man said, "Seeing as you’re pretty familiar with President Gu from Ganglong, I figured you must be in the industry too. Are you in business development or operations?"

Chen Xiao paused, then realized the man had mistaken him for an employee of some vendor brand company. At his age, if he were an employee, he definitely wouldn’t be in a regional director position.

The most he could be was a department head. And the people who dealt with business directors in a mall were almost always heads of business development, though heads of operations were also a possibility.

"Neither. I’m just looking around."

His cold attitude made it clear he didn’t want to chat.

But the man was overly enthusiastic. "We’re a big company, the best platform in Han River, actually. Are you interested in coming to work for me? As a business development manager. The pay and potential for growth are great."

Chen Xiao was speechless. ’How on earth did he look at me and see an unemployed youth?’

’I have a damn system, you think my life is easy? Feng Feifei is trying to promote me every single day, and I have to do everything I can to stop her so my Diligence Points don’t get wiped!’

’And now I keep getting headhunted whenever I go out, either for a sales manager or a business development manager position. Where were all of you when I couldn’t find a job back then?’

"No, thanks. I have a job." This time, he didn’t even look up.

"How much is your monthly salary?" This guy was as sticky as taffy.

Chen Xiao said helplessly, "20,000." He was exhausted, answering mechanically. His base salary really was 20,000.

The man chuckled. "Come work for me. I’ll give you a base salary of 30,000, plus bonuses. The bonuses are very generous. By the way, how much are your monthly bonuses now?"

Chen Xiao’s patience was worn thin. He snapped, "Two hundred million!"

The man was taken aback and said, a little unhappily, "Hey, man, I’m being sincere here..."

Chen Xiao scoffed. "So am I. I have things to do. You should get back to whatever you were doing."

The man gave a dry chuckle. "Alright then. Here’s my business card. If you change your mind, you can contact me. I’ll arrange an interview for you."

With that, he took out a business card and handed it to Chen Xiao. The card was gold-stamped and looked very impressive.

It was much nicer than Chen Xiao’s business card, not that the guy ever used his anyway.

Chen Xiao unenthusiastically took the card and glanced at it subconsciously. Hmm? His expression suddenly turned a little strange.

He turned his head. "So you’re Xia Bin?"

The man in Armani was indeed Xia Bin. It was rare to find someone so narcissistic and flashy in Jiangzhou.

Xia Bin paused. "You know me?"

Chen Xiao gave a meaningful smile. "I’ll keep the card. No need to give you mine. You’ll get to know me in the future. And your impression of me will only grow deeper."

Xia Bin frowned. Not offering a card in return might just mean he didn’t have one on him, but what was the meaning behind those strange words?

He walked away, displeased. ’Kids these days really don’t know what’s good for them. I originally thought he was talented and personable, and since he knew President Gu from Ganglong, he must have some connections. Poaching someone like that to handle business development might have been better than my current manager.’

’But since he’s so tactless, I’ve decided to pass on Chen Xiao. I’ll never hire someone like that!’
