The Rogue Villager Chen Erbao

Chapter 209: The Return Journey

After his meal, Chen Erbao took Lin Zhiqing upstairs to pack their luggage and get ready to leave.

In reality, they didn't have much luggage—just some souvenirs, a raw jade stone, and the clothes Lin Zhiqing had bought.

The two of them went downstairs, and with Ivic leading the way, they soon got into a car and arrived at the airport.

Since they had woken up late, the plane had been specially held for them.

Ivic stood outside the boarding gate, waving as he watched Chen Erbao's flight take off. Only then did he leave.

They had partied a little too hard the past few days. Chen Erbao had received many calls from Bai Xiaoqing and Fang Yun; a lot of company business was waiting for him.

The plane finally landed a little after eleven in the morning.

As they walked out of the airport terminal, Bai Xiaoqing was already there, waving.

People all around turned to look, curious to see who such a stunning woman could be waiting for.

But when they saw Lin Zhiqing, everyone's eyes lit up.

Another beauty!

Sure enough, beautiful women always come in groups!

Just as they were fantasizing about the wonderful scene of having a beauty on each arm, Chen Erbao's appearance shattered their dreams.

As they say, one man's life is another man's dream. There's always someone living the life ordinary people dream of, completely oblivious to it.

Chen Erbao walked up, put his arm around Lin Zhiqing, and cheerfully greeted Bai Xiaoqing. Then, under the envious and jealous stares of a crowd of nobodies, they got in the car and left the airport.

"Anything going on with the company lately?"

Chen Erbao asked.

Bai Xiaoqing's expression was full of grievance. "No major crises, just a huge pile of small matters, all waiting for your signature!"

'Dealing with a boss like him is such a headache.'

The launch of the ten-thousand-unit upgraded version of the Dream Fantasia mud mask a couple of days ago had created a ton of work. Since she was in charge of everything, she was completely swamped.

Chen Erbao nodded and comforted her, "You've worked hard, Xiaoqing. At the end of the year, I'll give you a big bonus. Keep up the good work this year, and try to get me into a Bugatti Veyron sooner!"

Chen Erbao was joking.

Bai Xiaoqing's gaze grew even more resentful.

"Oh, right. I asked you to contact your old classmates. How did that go?"

Chen Erbao remembered.

He planned to contact Zhao Feng about opening a branch factory after returning from Dian Nan. 'But if he couldn't find a suitable manager, what was the point?'

'He couldn't be expected to run back and forth managing it himself, could he?'

'He was the boss, not some grunt!'

Remembering the task, Bai Xiaoqing quickly replied, "I've contacted them. Three of my classmates are willing to come and take a look. With Medicine King Hall helping with promotion, our Dream Fantasia mud mask has become quite famous nationwide. The industry is calling us a miracle that's changing the entire beauty world. My classmates are all very eager to meet you, President Chen."

"Then go ahead and arrange it. Try to get it settled within the next few days. I have to go on another trip in early September. When I get back, we're going to start expanding like crazy!"

"Okay, I'll contact them and have them come see you tomorrow."

The two chatted as they drove and soon arrived at the factory in the suburbs.

The factory now employed over five hundred workers of all levels. Each knew their role, and their operations were highly proficient.

After meeting with the senior management, Chen Erbao issued his first order.

"Starting tomorrow, ramp up hiring. Try to train three to five hundred skilled workers within ten days. Once the new factory is built, I want to pull them over there to start production immediately!"

All the managers, including Bai Xiaoqing, took note of his words.

Chen Erbao laid out a few more development policies for the next six months, offered a few words of encouragement, and then headed to his office to review documents.

Even though he wasn't here often, Bai Xiaoqing had still set up a luxurious chairman's office for him.

Aside from not having a secretary, Chen Erbao was now a bona fide big boss.

He spent the whole afternoon in his office processing all the documents. He paid special attention to the financials, checking them carefully for a long time until he finally had a clear picture of just how rich he was now!

For the first three days, profits were around one million per day. In the following days, that number was constantly broken. Even now, with two factories running at full capacity, the daily production is still snatched up the moment it goes on sale.

So far, after about ten days of sales, he had already amassed nearly thirty million in net profit!

He hadn't broken even on his initial investment yet, but this was still an absolutely shocking figure!

If other cosmetics companies found out, they'd probably die of indignation.

This was basically printing money.

No, even printing money wasn't this fast!

Chen Erbao wasn't particularly moved by the figure.

Not to mention the three hundred million from Zhao Feng and the money from the Xiangjiang businessman, the funds from the Fang Family alone would be enough for his company to open factories across half of China!

But Chen Erbao had a feeling the Fang Family would play some tricks, so getting his hands on that three billion wouldn't be easy.

'Whatever. If I get it, it's a bonus. If not, it's no loss to me.'

He hadn't realized it until he ran the numbers, but the result was shocking: Chen Erbao's net worth was now several hundred million. Aside from the three hundred million from Zhao Feng that he held personally, the rest of the money was on the company's books.

"President Chen, if you're free tonight, there's a dinner party to meet with the heads of Hongyuan City's banks and other departments. Would you like to attend?"

Just as he was about to leave the office, he got a call from Bai Xiaoqing.

Chen Erbao thought for a moment. "You go. I plan on letting you handle things, whether it's for the cosmetics company or for the future conglomerate. I'm fine just staying behind the scenes."

'Chen Erbao had no interest in that kind of dinner. He'd rather go back to the village early and sleep with his sister-in-law or Sister Shuzhen in his arms!'

'Zhao Ruoying was probably getting impatient, too...'

'Oh, and there's Zhang Yiyi...'

'And Lin Rui...'

'Chen Erbao felt he really needed to figure out some kind of time management system, or he'd be too busy to handle everything!'

'Having too many women was its own kind of trouble!'

Chen Erbao went downstairs, said goodbye to Lin Zhiqing, and left Hongyuan City.

He still hadn't taken that final step with Zhang Yiyi, so he didn't plan on seeing her tonight.

When the plane had landed, while Lin Zhiqing was busy grabbing their luggage, he had sent messages to his other women. They all knew he was back.

The interesting part was that each woman's reply was different.

Zhang Yiyi: "Er Bao... you've been away working for so long. You must be exhausted!"

"I am exhausted. I still have to make a trip to Binhai and Dian Nan. Sigh. Once I'm done with all this, I'll finally have some free time. I'll make it up to you then!"

Zhang Yiyi: "The company is just starting out, so of course you're busy. You should focus on your work..."

She really wanted to see Chen Erbao, but since he didn't bring it up, she was too shy to mention it.

Even so, Chen Erbao decided he would see Zhang Yiyi one more time before his trip.

'After all, if you want to ride a horse, you have to feed it first. If he waited too long, what if the horse bolted?'

The women he had already won over were much easier to handle.

Zhao Ruoying: "Hurry back. There's so much to do at the factory, and your sister-in-law can't handle it all."
