Chapter 832 Robbing Money
"What did you say?" Zhang Yi asked, sounding like a startled rabbit.
"You mean Xu Jia frequently goes in and out of [Xishan Linyu]?" Although going in and out of [Xishan Linyu] doesn't necessarily mean she's related to the Chen family, considering the Mercedes GLS cars and the guards today, Zhang Yi's heart started racing again.
"Yes, boss. The reason I'm bringing this up separately is because someone saw this car frequently entering and leaving the Chen family villa!"
hiss--
"It's over," Zhang Yi subconsciously thought that Xu Jia was Chen Xiao's woman.
Do you have a photo of her?
The secretary opened the tablet. "This was found on the Inno Group's official website."
Zhang Yi took it immediately; it was an introduction to the senior executives from the Yinuo Group's official website:
Xu Jia: Senior Vice President of Yinuo Group, age 26!
This age is quite striking; he became the group's vice president at the age of 26.
As Zhang Yi continued reading, he suddenly felt a little confused. Could this be Chen Xiao's woman?
Xu Jia's looks are only average; a girl like that might be quite sought after in the outside world. But in the eyes of someone like Chen Xiao, there's no chance for her.
"Thank goodness. This shouldn't be Chen Xiao's woman," Zhang Yi kept reassuring himself.
He put down the tablet and said, "Have someone keep an eye out for when this car will enter [Xishan Linyu] again." He felt he needed to go to the Chen family's house to find out Xu Jia's identity and realize the extent of the impact this incident would have.
buzz-
Zhang Yi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, quickly swiped to answer, and was about to speak when a thought struck him. He handed the phone to his secretary, gesturing for her to answer: "Hello!"
"boss?"
Zhang Yi gave a look, and the secretary immediately understood, asking, "Where are you?"
“We were on our way back to the hotel,” the bodyguard immediately understood what his boss was worried about. “It was just the two of us, and they let us go. They suspected we were targeting that Voyah Dreamer, but they had no proof. We said we were just overtaking, and they had no choice but to let us go!”
Zhang Yi, who had been listening nearby, breathed a sigh of relief and was just about to tell them to come back. Suddenly, he was startled. "Wait a minute, don't go back to the hotel. Leave Jiangzhou immediately and go hide out for a while. I'll give you a vacation, go sightseeing, and I'll reimburse all your expenses!"
He had personally witnessed the skill level of the bodyguards from [Blue Star Guardians]. If they could stop their own bodyguard's car, it basically meant they were certain that the Land Rover Defender would be harmful to their employer's vehicle. How could they possibly trust them so easily?
The only explanation is insufficient evidence. But they will definitely not give up the investigation easily; if the two bodyguards return to the hotel, they may expose themselves.
After the bodyguard left, Zhang Yi finally felt like he had escaped death. Damn it, what bad luck! How did chasing a woman lead to this mess? And how did that technician number 8 know Xu Jia? And what is the relationship between Xu Jia and Chen Xiao?
Zhang Yi was smoking one cigarette after another in the living room. If it weren't for the hotel's excellent ventilation system, the living room would have been filled with smoke long ago!
buzz-
Zhang Yi looked at his phone; the incoming call notification read—Shi Long.
He gently pressed the mute button. The matter at Junxiao's three stores wasn't resolved; he didn't want to answer Shi Long's call, feeling it would be a loss of face!
buzz-
Shi Long sent another message: "President Zhang, I arrived in Jiangzhou today and plan to visit President Zhao at the Junxiao Plaza headquarters tomorrow!"
Junxiao Plaza headquarters? So you're looking for Zhao Hui? What for? You go and finalize the deal, then slap me in the face?
Actually, Zhang Yi was overthinking it. Trying to negotiate single-store business with someone like Zhao Hui? Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
As the chairman of Junxiao Plaza, he only focuses on the specific direction. If anyone wants to discuss business with him, it's usually someone from a luxury goods company; only then will he be interested in meeting them. For a foot massage parlor like yours to go to him once, you'll likely never see him again!
Shi Long sought out Zhao Hui solely because Zhao Hui had acted as a go-between for him a few days prior, and Zhao Hui had been quite polite to Shi Long. Shi Long then decided to come over and cultivate the relationship!
Zhang Yi replied with a message: "I have something to do and will be leaving Jiangzhou tonight. Let's get together again next time—"
28th floor of Yunfeng Building
After leaving Tianchi Hot Spring, Chen Xiao and Cha Lan arrived at Yunfeng Building. Li Guoqiang was also there today, so they invited each other to have a small gathering at Tianxing Pavilion.
The 28th floor is the headquarters of the Junxiao Charity Foundation. However, due to the foundation's increasing functions and the growing need for staff, this floor is soon becoming insufficient!
Cha Lan and Li Guoqiang were having tea in the rooftop garden when Chen Xiao went to He Qing's office to check on her.
"You've been away on business for so long, come back to Xishan Linyu with me today." After saying that, he turned to Wang Ping, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, "You come too!"
Wang Ping was overjoyed, even though Chen Xiao had already favored her. But she didn't want more; she wished they could be together every day.
He Qing nodded gently. Chen Xiao's doting on her had now reached an excessive level. Of all Chen Xiao's women, only Xu Wu and her parents had built a garden for him back in their hometown!
"Have you been under a lot of work pressure lately?" Chen Xiaoqiao asked, sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. He Qing came over and sat down next to her.
"I was doing alright before, but you gave me another 200 billion a few days ago, and now the pressure is much greater. It's like I have endless money to spend!"
Haha! Chen Xiao burst out laughing, knowing that He Qing was joking.
“This is just the beginning; 300 billion is just the starting point.” Before she could finish speaking, Wang Ping’s phone rang.
Chen Xiao paused, gesturing to her: "You answer the phone—"
Wang Ping glanced at the caller ID, pouted, and really didn't want to answer. But Chen Xiao had said it wouldn't be appropriate for her not to answer.
Noticing something was off about her, Chen Xiao asked, "Whose call was that?"
"My cousin's—"
Chen Xiao laughed: "You asked me for help?"
When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, distant relatives flock to you even in the deep mountains! As her relatives learned of Wang Ping's success, more and more people came to visit her. She even brought her parents to live in Jiangzhou, but she was still frequently harassed by various relatives.
Wang Ping nodded again, and Chen Xiao said, "If you can help, then help. It's not a difficult thing for you."
Sigh, Wang Ping could only swipe to answer the call. At that moment, He Qing whispered in Chen Xiao's ear, "Pingping just doesn't want to help; her cousin's family is a bit awful."
He recounted how Wang Ping's family was poor when she was a child, and how she was kicked out of her cousin's house when she asked for help. Oh, so that's how it was. Never mind then; if it were him, he wouldn't give a damn about such a relative.
"What is it? Speak!" Wang Ping's tone was extremely cold.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The voices coming from the other end of the phone were clearly audible to Chen Xiao and He Qing.
"Pingping, the chickens we raise at home have grown up. I'll catch a few and take them to your uncle."
"Then contact my dad. I won't be going back there for the next couple of days."
Her cousin was speechless for a moment.
"Are you alright? I'm busy, I'm hanging up!"
"No, no! Pingping, I need your help!" her cousin said urgently, cutting to the chase. "Your sister-in-law hasn't been doing anything lately, could you see if you can arrange a job for her?"
This couldn't be easier for Wang Ping. "She used to work in property management, right? What type of person is she looking for?"
"Easy and lucrative"
Wang Ping rolled her eyes: "There's a job that would suit her, and she could do it without me having to introduce her."
"Huh? What kind of job?"
"Find money!"
Chen Xiao pulled He Qing closer to his chest, finding it quite amusing to hear Wang Ping mocking her cousin!
Wang Ping's cousin chuckled awkwardly, "Pingping, I know how powerful you are now. I heard you earn tens of millions a year. Can you think of a way for me to earn a million a year? I don't ask for much, just something easy!"
"Isn't that simple?" Wang Ping sneered.
"Oh, you agreed? Thank you, thank you so much, Pingping!"
"I mean, I have a plan—"
"What plan?"
Wang Ping scoffed, "If you deposit 5000 million in the bank, you can earn 100 million in interest in a year!"
"."
“Pingping, the key is that I don’t have 5000 million!” His cousin knew that Wang Ping was mocking him, but he didn’t dare to get angry.
"Really? I have a way to make you 5000 million every year!"
"What?!" The cousin screamed. 5000 million—his mind went blank, and his brains nearly turned golden.
"Quick, quick! Pingping, tell me. I'll do anything to earn 5000 million!"
Chen Xiao and He Qing both looked at Wang Ping, very interested in what advice she was going to give her cousin!
"It's simple. Just deposit 30 billion yuan in the bank, and you'll get 5000 million yuan in interest in a year!"
"."
"Isn't this nonsense just annoying?" Chen Xiao laughed out loud, while her cousin almost cried: "Pingping, where am I supposed to get 30 billion yuan like this?!"
"Go dream about it! You can have anything in your dreams!" With that, Wang Ping hung up the phone. "You're crazy! Relax, a million-dollar annual income? Is there really such a good thing in the world?"
Don't be fooled by her current annual income of tens of millions. That's just a perk she got after becoming Chen Xiao's woman!
When she was the deputy finance director, her annual income was just over a million. Her cousin, on the other hand, dared to dream of easily earning a million!
Chen Xiao supported Wang Ping hanging up on her cousin. Helping these relatives is fine, but they absolutely shouldn't become parasites who reap without sowing!
In the rooftop garden, at the tea break area, Li Guoqiang and Cha Lan reminisced about old times.
"Mr. Cha, you've really made it big now!" Li Guoqiang exclaimed with admiration. Back then, Zhifei Aerospace relied on its own engineering company for a living. Even when Cha Lan came to visit, Li Guoqiang wouldn't necessarily see him.
Now, Zhifei Aerospace's annual revenue is approaching 5 billion yuan. I've heard that the construction of Chenjiadao Island has also been entrusted to him; Mr. Chen is planning to build a city there, with a total investment reportedly exceeding 1 trillion yuan over five years!
Li Guoqiang doesn't know if it's true or not, but 1 trillion is a terrifying figure! Yet, it really seems like something President Chen would do. 1 trillion doesn't seem to be a problem for him at all.
"Mr. Cha, really one trillion?" He couldn't resist his curiosity and asked in a low voice.
Cha Lan nodded slightly: "It's a rough budget. Mr. Chen said that we can add more if necessary!"
"My goodness, Mr. Chen, this is quite a generous gesture!" Li Guoqiang exclaimed, then looked at Cha Lan with envy: "Mr. Cha, you've got such good fortune, even the world's richest man would envy you!"
Looking around with ease, isn't that right? Ever since I started following Boss Chen, I've felt myself improving rapidly every day. In another two years, my net worth will be enough to make me stand tall and proud all over the world!
"I heard that Jiangzhou has prepared 3000 mu of land for Junxiao Group, hoping to build a group headquarters?" Unlike Cha Lan, Li Guoqiang could not contact Chen Xiao often, so he heard this news by chance!
"That's true. You know how much GDP and tax revenue Junxiao Group brings to Jiangzhou every year. They're probably afraid Chen Xiao will relocate Junxiao Group."
Li Guoqiang smiled and said, "If anyone in office lets such a company go, they will become a sinner against the city!"
"Jiangzhou has certainly made a good calculation, establishing its headquarters here. This will greatly help Jiangzhou attract talent from all over the world, and the headquarters alone will cost hundreds of billions to build, which will also stimulate countless industries!"
Cha Lan waved his hand: "President Chen is a grateful person. Jiangzhou's support for Junxiao Group over the past year has been evident. It can be said that whatever Junxiao Group requests, they will be met!"
Li Guoqiang turned his head and glanced at the entrance to the Sky Garden, then whispered to Cha Lan, "Mr. Cha, there's something I'd like to ask you!"
Cha Lan refilled his teacup while saying, "We're all brothers, so speak your mind!"
Looking at the entrance again, Li Guoqiang lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know that President Chen has a cousin named Zhang Yi?"
He shook his head. "I only get to see President Chen once in a long while these days, and I haven't heard of him." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Is what you're talking about related to him?"
Li Guoqiang nodded, "Haven't my 4S stores been developing quite rapidly lately? Since Hanjiang Province is the headquarters of Junxing Motors, and the company has many directly operated stores there, I chose to expand to other provinces and cities!"
Thanks to Mr. Chen's financial support, I've now become quite well-known in the car dealership business!
Cha Lan listened quietly. Chen Xiao treated Li Guoqiang as a friend, and Zhao Hui provided him with channel resources. Chen Xiao also lent him 10 billion yuan. These conditions were truly exceptional!
"Just recently, a local tycoon introduced me to someone, saying that he was the cousin of the owner of Junxiao Group. He wanted to invest in my company and said he could help me with distribution channels!"
Cha Lan was taken aback: "Channel resources? With Xu Jun, Zhao Hui, and Chairman Lin Ya around, what do you need him for in Junxiao Commercial Management's projects?"
Li Guoqiang smiled wryly: "Yes, I've spoken to General Manager Chen about this within Junxiao Group, in every business unit."
Cha Lan sighed, "He's optimistic about your project, isn't he? How much does he want to invest?"
"He said he'd invest 1000 million yuan for 20% equity. He said he was the best investor, a purely financial investment, and wouldn't interfere with my management. He also said I could use his resources!"
A period (.) appeared, leaving the reader speechless. Wasn't this blatant robbery? (End of Chapter)
