My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 245: Chapter 183: Winning Over and Pledging Allegiance

’Get to know *you*? If I wasn’t so determined to scout talent, I wouldn’t even spare a nobody like you a second glance.’

He left resentfully, and Chen Xiao found it hilarious.

’I spend my days thinking about how to dismantle your store, and you want me to handle your expansion? Are you afraid of going bankrupt too slowly?’

’If it weren’t for these damned Diligence Points, I’d actually go undercover at your place for two months. Your Four Seasons Clothing would have to rebrand as Four Seasons Closures!’

He didn’t consider Xia Bin a serious threat. Even though he was constantly working to undermine him, all he had to do was give the orders. It was a job for Liu Haoran and Zhao Hui.

Someone of that caliber was far beneath Chen Xiao’s notice.

The people he was sparring with now were tycoons worth tens of billions, commercial real estate groups with assets in the hundreds of billions, and auto manufacturers with annual outputs nearing a trillion. His future opponents would be international giants with market caps in the trillions of US dollars.

His goal was the stars. People like Xia Bin were nothing more than small fry in a vast ocean.

For someone like him, Chen Xiao only had to utter a single phrase—"Get rid of him"—and someone would immediately step forward to handle it.

Liu Haoran and Zhang Shijie didn’t stay in the store long either. Zhang Shijie even went over to the register himself to look at the real-time sales data.

From the morning until now, 5:10 PM, the store’s sales had reached 700,000, including the limited-edition launch items. Excluding those, sales were at 350,000. At this rate, they were definitely on track to shatter the single-day sales record for any individual store in the entire Yino Group.

At this pace, breaking one million today would be effortless.

The store’s merchandise was already running out of certain sizes. Fortunately, Liu Haoran had planned ahead, and Huang Guangyuan had provided an additional 40-square-meter external stockroom within the mall.

This backup stockroom allowed for rapid replenishment of goods, providing the store with an endless supply of ammunition for its sales.

Zhang Shijie said to Chen Xiao, "President Chen, I’ve already arranged for the Group to prepare a victory report. I’ll have every employee in the company share it. This is a day to remember!"

Liu Haoran added, addressing both leaders, "President Chen, President Zhang, we also came to an agreement with the mall management beforehand. We’ll be issuing joint victory reports to the public for three days straight!"

It was thanks to Chen Xiao that Huang Guangyuan had brought Sa Mo back into the mall. He had explained it to his group at the time: the brand was switching from a third-party agent to a direct-to-consumer operation. In addition to a wider variety of products, it now featured a collaborative line with Chanel.

This sales boom reflected well on Huang Guangyuan.

Just as Huang Guangyuan came to mind, Chen Xiao saw a man in his fifties hurrying toward them from a short distance away. He had a tanned face, a neat short haircut, and was wearing the standard mall staff uniform.

Liu Haoran saw him too and said at once, "Mr. Huang is here!"

Seeing him, Chen Xiao suddenly recalled what Gu Yan had said earlier. An amused expression crept onto his face, and he stood there quietly, waiting for the man to approach.

Of the three men standing there, Huang Guangyuan knew at a glance which one was President Chen. Zhang Shijie was clearly older, and he already knew Liu Haoran.

He hurried forward a few steps. "President Chen, I’m so..."

Chen Xiao, quite pleased with Huang Guangyuan, cut him off. "No need for an explanation. I understand."

It would be too awkward to rehash Huang’s embarrassing story in front of Zhang Shijie and Liu Haoran, so Chen Xiao just introduced Zhang Shijie.

Huang Guangyuan quickly shook his hand. The man was the CEO of Yino Group, a position higher than his own. Besides, it was obvious that Zhang Shijie and President Chen were well-acquainted.

Zhang Shijie said graciously, "We must also thank you, Mr. Huang, for your tremendous support. Sa Mo’s performance today truly exceeded our expectations."

Huang Guangyuan replied, "It’s a win-win. We support each other."

Liu Haoran then chimed in, "President Zhang, Mr. Huang also gave me the spot next door, where Erte was, for our Ledi store. This is truly unprecedented support!"

Zhang Shijie thanked him once more, though he knew full well that Huang Guangyuan was doing it all for Chen Xiao.

Led by Huang Guangyuan, the group went to his office for tea.

Since this wasn’t a work meeting, Gu Yan wasn’t qualified to join them.

Huang Guangyuan personally prepared tea for them. The tea set and the leaves themselves were clearly chosen with great care. At their level, people paid extremely close attention to detail.

Top leaders often judge a person by the details, after all. The details determine success or failure.

He gave them an overview of Ganglong International’s performance for the entire year, presenting it almost like an official work report.

He also laid out his vision for the coming year. The mall wanted to make further adjustments to the premier luxury brands on the first floor. They already had luxury brands, but even luxury could be upgraded, couldn’t it?

Chen Xiao took a sip of his tea. "I’ll help you push for Chanel to move in."

"Ah?" Huang Guangyuan couldn’t help but gasp.

Among all the top-tier luxury brands, Chanel had the most cachet. They had gone through countless rounds of negotiations trying to bring them in, all to no avail. He never imagined President Chen would proactively take on the task himself.

If anyone else had said it, he would have thought they were bluffing. But this was President Chen.

One only had to consider how he had single-handedly orchestrated a collaboration between Chanel and Sa Mo—two brands that were worlds apart—to understand the kind of influence President Chen wielded with Chanel.

He spoke with a double meaning, "By following you, President Chen, I, Huang Guangyuan, have finally achieved a new breakthrough!"

Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hand, replying with his own double entendre, "Mr. Huang, I’ve seen all your hard work, and I’ve taken it to heart."

Gazing at the refined, exceptionally handsome President Chen, whose eyes sparkled with intelligence, Huang Guangyuan felt a surge of passion. It was as if he had returned to his younger self from twenty years ago, brimming with fighting spirit.

Watching Huang Guangyuan’s declaration of loyalty, Zhang Shijie and Liu Haoran silently sipped their tea, their own minds in turmoil.

’Once you were on President Chen’s ship, the journey always felt remarkably smooth.’

While one side enjoyed this harmonious atmosphere, Xia Bin, who had just returned to his office, felt a massive headache coming on.

The opening of Sa Mo at Ganglong International, with its release of 100 pieces from the Chanel collaboration, had caused a massive sensation.

A lightweight jacket with a list price of 3,500 yuan was now reportedly being flipped online for 9,000 yuan.

Now, the managers of all the major malls that partnered with Four Seasons Clothing were calling Xia Bin, hoping he could arrange for some special launch items for them as well.
