Bai Sheng had discussed it with his father at home yesterday. As soon as the cooperation with the Guo Group was settled, they would immediately sever ties with the Zhang Group.

In addition, when he arrived at the company in the morning, he heard some rumors that several of Zhang Group's major clients had terminated their cooperation with him. Several such rumors had been circulating. Could this all be due to what happened that day?
He found it hard to believe that Zhang Jing had offended Chen Xiao that day, and then his sister told him to cut ties with Zhang Jing, thinking that Chen Xiao was being petty and using his sister's feelings for him to get revenge on Zhang Jing. But today it seems that's not the case. Chen Xiao actually has such a big influence on the entire industry.
Jingle bell bell~
The call was from Bai's father.

"Dad, we've secured the partnership for the smart city project."

Bai Sheng immediately shared the good news with his father, who remained silent for a moment before saying, "Hurry up and cut ties with the Zhang family; the Zhang family is finished."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Sheng lit a cigarette, went to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked out at the bustling city. He felt a sense of shared sorrow.

The Zhang Group, a company that had been developing for decades, has come to an end. According to the information my father received, from now on, no company will cooperate with the Zhang Group. Companies that had cooperated before are cutting ties, even if they have suffered losses.

Bai Sheng wiped the sweat from his brow. What terrifying power this was! A multi-billion dollar corporation was like a clay chicken or a broken tile before it, reduced to ashes with a mere breath. Chen Xiao, his brother-in-law, seemed like someone he would definitely have to meet soon; he was shrouded in mystery.

He sighed, strode back to his desk, and began making all the necessary steps to sever ties with the Zhang family. "Zhang Jing, I'm sorry, but for the sake of the family, I have no choice but to give you up."

The business world can be cruel sometimes; there are few people you can trust with your feelings, and feelings are usually based on self-interest.

Chen Xiao led the three women to the small cafeteria. One major drawback of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group was the lack of a private elevator. He, a handsome man, was accompanied by three stunning beauties, especially Bai Lu and Gu Meng, both rare beauties, causing the men around him to look at Chen Xiao differently.

Ma Jing whispered in his ear, "See? You've become public enemy number one."

Chen Xiao chuckled, "It's not just men, even male dogs hate me."

Ma Jing pursed her lips, unaware that Gu Meng had been watching her intently. When Ma Jing leaned close to Chen Xiao's ear, Gu Meng's eyes widened in disbelief. Bai Lu was right there; how could she dare to do that? But when she turned to look at Bai Lu, she found that Bai Lu acted as if she hadn't seen her at all.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they attracted even more attention.

"Damn, look at that guy, he's got three gorgeous women with him."

"Who is this kid? I feel like he's even more powerful than me. I've never seen him before."

"Brother, are you that great?"

"I earn 1.5 yuan a month, isn't that awesome?"

"roll!"

"Damn, are you that resentful of the rich?"

The person who told him to get lost, holding his tray, said to the people next to him, "Let's stay away from this guy. He's probably gone crazy from writing code."

Several people were with him, and one of them couldn't help but sigh, "The male-to-female ratio is so unbalanced. Many men can't find girlfriends anymore. Isn't it too much for this guy to have three girlfriends all to himself?"

The person next to him nodded in agreement, "The key is that they're all super beautiful women they brought along."

"Let's work hard, and one day we can be like him. I just don't understand, we're all just working like beasts of burden, so why can he kill three birds with one stone?"

"I suspect it's because his arrows were long enough."

The period (.) clearly indicates that no one is willing to admit defeat on this issue.

At a table not far away, two girls were eating. One of them said, "Xiaoyun, I really don't understand. Your family is so well-off, why did you come here to suffer?"

"Shh~" Xiaoyun held up a finger and said, "Don't be a blabbermouth. Do you know how hard it is for me to find a job I like?"

My colleague shook his head. "You're an only child, so you'll definitely have to go back and inherit the family business in the future. Instead of studying business management at home, you're here coding. I really don't understand you."

Xiaoyun said, "I have no interest in business management. I only like two things: playing games and coding. They think I'm not doing my job properly at home, so I'll go out and work. But let me take over the family business? Forget about it. My dad is only 50 years old and he wants to retire. He wants to use me as a laborer. I won't do that."

"Hey, hey, Xiaoyun, look, isn't that the handsome guy you spotted this morning? Goodness, he's with three beautiful women by himself, so arrogant."

Xiao Yun looked up and saw Chen Xiao and Bai Lu and the others passing by not far in front of her. What a beautiful woman surrounded her, like a star surrounded by the moon.

"Handsome guys are so popular. No wonder you care about him so much even though you don't know him at all."

"Even eating can't shut you up. What do you mean by caring? I just saw that he would have been late if he had been a little faster, but he was still dawdling, so I couldn't help but call out to him."

"See? You yourself said it, you couldn't resist him when you saw him."

Xiaoyun rolled her eyes and simply ignored her, as the more she explained, the less clear it became.

"Should I ask him for your name, and which department he's from?"

"Are you crazy?" Xiaoyun was startled, really afraid that she would do such a thing.

Chen Xiao was unaware of these things and did not see Xiao Yun. He could feel the hostile gazes everywhere, but he had grown accustomed to this feeling.

The canteen at Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group wasn't as bad as Chen Xiao had modestly claimed. This was Gu Meng's immediate impression. She had been in Jiangzhou for a long time, and Bai Lu had taken her to several private restaurants, but none of them were as authentic as this one.

Ma Jing explained to her that the ingredients used in this small canteen vary greatly depending on the level of hospitality. Today's meal is of course the most premium, and the head chef personally prepared it. If this meal were served elsewhere, you definitely wouldn't be able to get it for less than 2000 yuan per person.

One monk has water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, three monks have no water to drink.

That's the situation now. When Bai Lu or Ma Jing are alone with Chen Xiao, their eyes are definitely filled with deep affection. But with Gu Meng around, and several other people present, they can't really let loose.

hum~
A message came in on his phone, from Cha Lan, asking if he wanted to be picked up from the company in the afternoon. Chen Xiao told him to wait at the entrance of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Park and that they would leave from there.

At this moment, Bai Lu and Gu Meng were also chatting about where to go in the afternoon. Ma Jing sighed, "I envy you guys, thinking about where to go every day. I'm so pitiful, stuck in the office all by myself."

Bai Lu knew that her relationship with Chen Xiao was not simple, and she also wanted to befriend her, so she invited, "How about we go out and have fun together this afternoon?"

Ma Jing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiao. This was not just an inquiry as his assistant, but also because she wondered if Chen Xiao had any concerns about her contact with his other women.

"Don't look at me. If you want to go out and have fun, go with them. Don't act so pitiful. I'm not asking you to stay at home all the time. You can go wherever you want, as long as it's safe."

Gu Meng couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiao and Ma Jing, then looked at Bai Lu, only to find that her best friend hadn't reacted at all. She knew Bai Lu was a very sensitive person; even she had sensed it, so there was no way she hadn't noticed that Chen Xiao's assistant was no ordinary person. Didn't she mind at all, indulging Chen Xiao so freely?
{Sigh, women must never get emotionally involved. Once they do, they easily lose themselves. Bai Lu used to be such a proud person, but now she has to endure her boyfriend cheating on her and even befriend his assistant. I absolutely cannot be like her. Love is poison; it's terrifying.}
Ma Jing pouted, "But you didn't say I could skip work. I'm afraid you might need me and I won't be there."

"Don't even try that. You think you're afraid of me? You'll start working for me tomorrow. I'll come here when you come over."

Gu Meng was taken aback.

What does this mean? They're getting paid by Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, but Chen Xiao is doing his own thing outside the company and even encouraging his assistant not to come to the office anymore. That's incredibly audacious. As the top salesperson, Feng Feifei values ​​you, but can she tolerate such arrogance?
Turning to look at Bai Lu, wondering why she didn't try to persuade her boyfriend, she secretly whispered in her ear, "Won't President Feng punish him for this?"

Punish him? Bai Lu chuckled and whispered, "How could she bear to? Besides, who knows who will punish whom?"

After saying this, she blushed, remembering how Chen Xiao would make her kneel as punishment every time they discussed the drive system of rear-wheel drive cars.

"Gu Meng, you need to keep a close eye on the progress of the Guo Group's collaboration with Dr. Feng on robot development. All milestones must be completed ahead of schedule, not delayed. If any problem arises, you must notify me immediately, and I will have President Feng increase their efforts."

The development of various intelligent equipment involved in this project will not only affect the progress of Guo Fu's project, but also the construction on the island after his land reclamation. In fact, his requirements for some technical standards are even higher than those for Guo Fu's smart city project. "Okay," Gu Meng's voice was clear and crisp, almost metallic, and very pleasant to hear. It was certainly a good thing that Chen Xiao had proactively asked her to follow up on the development progress; he had initially been worried that the progress wouldn't be up to par, given his lazy and unwilling attitude.

After lunch, Chen Xiao glanced at the time and figured Cha Lan should be arriving soon, so he said to Bai Lu, "I have something to do this afternoon. You take Ma Jing and the others out to play, but be careful and call me if anything happens."

After He Qing's injury and Li Zhi'en's incident in Cape Town, he placed great importance on security. Bai Lu and Ma Jing were the only two of his women without security personnel, so he repeatedly gave them instructions. At the same time, he was considering whether to quickly assign them bodyguards as well.

The main issue is that one of them works from home, and the other is an assistant. Bringing bodyguards is a bit excessive. If necessary, we can provide Bai Lu with some security. Ma Jing will be with us every day at the Junxiao Lakeside CBD, so she won't need them. If they really need to travel alone, we can arrange a few security personnel temporarily.

Bai Lu and Gu Meng returned to Chen Xiao's office and sat down. Bai Lu was about to collect Chen Xiao's bonus. They watched curiously as Bai Lu filled out the form. When Gu Meng saw the order amount was 1.6 million and Chen Xiao's bonus was 800 million, she felt like she was dreaming. No wonder he rode in a Rolls-Royce Phantom; later, she learned from Bai Lu that it wasn't bought for him by the Bai family. Even Bai Lu's Bentley Continental was a gift from him. It turned out that making money was so easy for him.

At the same time, he thought of the multi-billion dollar orders from the collaboration between Guo's Group and Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. Wouldn't Chen Xiao have earned hundreds of millions in bonuses from that? He quickly shook his head, trying to calm himself down. He couldn't think about it; seeing others make big money was a sad thing.

Ma Jing filled out the form and stamped it with Chen Xiao's personal seal. "Wait a moment, I'll go to the finance department to collect the bonus, then we'll go out."

After she left, Gu Meng asked incredulously, "What does this mean? She can fill out an 800 million yuan form, stamp it with Chen Xiao's seal, and then go to the finance department to collect the money? This company belongs to the Feng family, not the Chen family."

Bai Lu picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Mengmeng, don't make a fuss. It's just 800 million. It's no big deal. Chen Xiao can sign here and pay 10 billion."

Gu Meng definitely couldn't believe it. A salesperson's signature could lead to the disbursement of 10 billion yuan. If Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group was managed like this, wouldn't it be in chaos? There wouldn't even be the most basic guarantee of financial security. She even wondered what would happen if the Guo Group chose to cooperate with such a company and then encountered financial problems.

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what was going on. Bai Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. You'll understand in the future. For now, just know that Chen Xiao's words represent Feng Feifei in this company."

Gu Meng suddenly thought of a possibility, "Bai Lu, you are really carefree. If that's the case, there is only one possibility: Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei have a close relationship."

"What do you think? Of course, the relationship is very close. Unless a woman is deeply in love, why would she be willing to give him everything without reservation?"

Seeing Bai Lu's "this isn't normal" attitude when she said her boyfriend had a relationship with another woman, Gu Meng was on the verge of depression. "Bai Lu, do you know what you're saying? That's your boyfriend! Your boyfriend might have an unusual relationship with another woman, and you don't mind at all?"

"What right do I have to care?" Bai Lu looked like she had already figured it out. How many women were around Chen Xiao? Just the ones she had met, such as Ma Jing, Feng Feifei, Xu Wu, and Zhang Ziqian, and many others she hadn't met. In terms of looks and status, Xu Wu was the best among them. She wasn't even the "official wife," so what right did she have to care?

She suddenly thought of Guo Fu. That woman's relationship with Chen Xiao was probably not ordinary either. Otherwise, why would she give such a big project to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group? And because of a phone call from Chen Xiao, she would give many construction projects to Jiangzhou Design Institute. Moreover, she made Gu Meng listen to Chen Xiao in everything. Isn't this exactly the same situation as Feng Feifei?
Why could Gu Meng only notice Feng Feifei's unusual behavior but not the possibility that her boss, President Guo, and Chen Xiao might have an inappropriate relationship? This is because she has a fixed mindset. In her eyes, Guo Fu is an unparalleled figure, someone who, to date, looks down on all men. Gu Meng idolizes Guo Fu, which is why she claims to be a non-marriage advocate.

In her heart, Chen Xiao was just an excellent salesman. President Guo would definitely not have any romantic feelings for him because President Guo was too arrogant and regarded all men as nothing. However, if Gu Meng knew that Chen Xiao was the boss of Junxiao Group, her thoughts might change, because this identity was powerful enough to qualify him to conquer Guo Fu.

She didn't point these things out, and even if she did, Gu Meng wouldn't believe her; she would think she was crazy.

At this moment, Bai Lu returned, looking relaxed, and said, "Everything's done. Let's go, let's go out."

The two followed Ma Jing downstairs, swaggering off work in a manner Gu Meng had never seen before at the Guo Group. Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group had truly opened her eyes; a salesman so arrogant he was even trying to seduce the boss, and this salesman even had an assistant who could skip work at will.

Arriving in front of Bai Lu's white Bentley Continental, Ma Jing exclaimed, "Wow! Your car is so cool, hmm, it suits your style. Chen Xiao's taste in cars and women is definitely on the same level."

Of course she knew that Bai Lu's car was a gift from Chen Xiao. Zhang Ziqian and she talked about everything every day. Among Chen Xiao's women, there were probably few who knew more about Chen Xiao than Ma Jing.

Gu Meng then said, "Ma Jing, you sit in the front, I'll sit in the back."

The Bentley Continental is a two-door, four-seater, but the back seat was too cramped and uncomfortable, so Gu Meng gave the front seat to Ma Jing.

"No need, you sit down, I'm driving."

Gu Meng's hand had barely touched the door handle of the Bentley Continental, the cool chrome of the metal not yet seeping into her fingertips, when Ma Jing deftly took a half-step back. She pressed the car key with her thumb, and the frog-eye headlights of the red Porsche 911 three meters away suddenly illuminated.

The champagne gold wheels of the Bentley still reflected Gu Meng's astonished face, while the Porsche's carbon fiber rear wing had already automatically risen. As Ma Jing's high heels stepped across the gap between the two cars, the exhaust valves of the 911 emitted a low-frequency roar like a beast awakening.

They're both assistants, so why is there such a big difference? Sitting in Bai Lu's Bentley Continental, Gu Meng fell into deep self-doubt.

She's the special assistant to the eldest daughter of the Guo Group, a high-level blue-collar worker with an annual salary of over a million; while Ma Jing is just an assistant to a salesperson in a technology company, yet she drives a top-of-the-line Porsche 911. Where can you find any justice in this?

"Bai Lu, was that car also a gift from Chen Xiao?" Knowing that Bai Lu didn't mind Chen Xiao having other women, Gu Meng asked without any hesitation.

The white Bentley Continental GT's champagne gold wheels rolled over the park's speed bumps, the exhaust valves emitting a deep roar, like an elegant beast bursting out of the gate.

The pearl earring peeking through her hair contrasted sharply with the striking red reflected in the rearview mirror—Ma Jing's Porsche 911 cleaved through the day with its frog-eye headlights and its carbon fiber rear wing stood up like a blade.

Bai Lu, with her hand on the leather steering wheel, answered Gu Meng's question: "Of course."

Gu Meng laughed and said, "No wonder. Otherwise, if an assistant to a salesperson in one of the departments of Dr. Feng's Technology Group could drive a Porsche 911, I, the special assistant to the eldest daughter of the Guo Group, would be so ashamed that I would jump into the sea."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her eyelashes cast delicate shadows on her cheekbones—this was her signature expression whenever she heard an interesting topic.

Amidst the bitter orange mist emanating from the car's air freshener system, she turned to look at Gu Meng's profile, bathed in a honey-colored glow. "Mengmeng, do you know how much Ma Jing earns a month?"

"How much? It can't be more than 20,000 a month, right?" Based on her understanding, the salary for such a position is basically around 10,000 yuan. Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group is a large company with good performance, so let's estimate her income a little higher.

“20,000?” She suddenly laughed, her canine tooth pressing against her lower lip, leaving a shallow mark. “Add two more zeros, then—” The last syllable was drawn out, as if she were reciting a bank card PIN.

Gu Meng's lips, covered in a mauve lip gloss, parted unconsciously. "Are you kidding me? Two million? Are you sure you didn't mispronounce it?"

Bai Lu nodded, and just as Gu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, she continued, "That's right, she should be making over 500 million a month."

She roughly calculated that Ma Jing earns at least 300 million yuan a month at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, and Zhifei Aerospace also pays her bonuses, so her monthly income is at least 500 million yuan.

"Bai Lu, are you talking in your sleep? An annual income of over 60 million is more than even the CEO of a Fortune 500 company earns."

"What's a Fortune 500 company? She's Chen Xiao's assistant, so anything is possible."

Hearing this, Gu Meng was even less convinced. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it. How could an assistant possibly have such a high income?

Chen Xiao's Brabus G900 rolled over the gravel road of the dock, the low roar of its 6.0-liter V12 engine startling seagulls on the rocks. The three-pointed star emblem on the front of the car gleamed coldly in the setting sun, and its wide wheel arches echoed the glass curtain wall of Qingzhou Junxiao Lakeside CBD 30 kilometers away.

The Maybach S680 parked by the dock opened its back door, and Cha Lan jogged over, followed by a young woman dressed casually. Chen Xiao remembered that her name was Zhang Li, Cha Lan's girlfriend, and also Xiang Jun's former colleague at the shop.

"Mr. Chen!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Zhang Li still doesn't know Chen Xiao's true identity, but Cha Lan said that he should treat President Chen with more respect than his own father. She then realized that Chen Xiao's identity was definitely extraordinary, considering that Cha Lan is now the owner of a company with annual revenue of tens of billions. He even values ​​Chen Xiao more than his own father.

“Mr. Chen, this is the ship I was talking about.” Cha Lan’s cigar smoke rings drifted toward the bow of the ship. “Even Abramovich’s ‘Eclipse’ looks like a small sampan next to it.”

Chalan's fingertips brushed against the salty sea breeze, stopping in front of the colossal vessel at the end of the pier. The 180-meter-long streamlined hull of the Azzam gleamed coldly in the twilight, its height equivalent to 12 stacked double-decker buses, the Saudi royal emblem on its stern faintly visible in the setting sun.

"Old Cha, you really bought back that prince's treasure."

Cha Lan laughed heartily: "President Chen, I've been searching for a long time, and I feel that only this ship can barely be worthy of your status."

Zhang Li clicked her tongue in amazement, thinking to herself, "Old Cha is exaggerating a bit too much." (End of Chapter)
