Chapter 461 I Can't Afford to Offend Him
"Who you are is none of my business. I'm giving you one minute to leave, or even your parents might not recognize you."
"Hahaha~!" Zhang Jing laughed wildly again.
"You are the most arrogant salesperson I have ever met. I have never seen anyone like you."
Chen Xiao checked the time. "You'll see him today. There are 40 seconds left."
Zhang Jing said coldly, "Let me tell you, I am the president of Zhang's Technology Group. Zhang's Technology Group is a company with a scale not much different from Jiangzhou Design Institute."
He finished speaking slowly and deliberately, waiting for Chen Xiao's expression to change drastically, until she became panicked. For a salesperson to offend such an important figure as himself was practically cutting himself off from business; how could he possibly do business in the future?
But he noticed that Chen Xiao was becoming increasingly calm, unaware that behind this calmness lay murderous intent. "20 seconds left."
Zhang Jing thought this salesman was probably not very bright and was just showing off in front of women. He then turned to Bai Lu and said, "Bai Lu, the Zhang Group is about to cooperate with the Bai family on the Guo Group's smart city project. Once it's done, both of our companies' strength will increase several times over. Do you think a salesman is good enough for you?"
Bai Lu said coldly, "My dad doesn't care about my affairs, so who do you think you are to interfere?"
"One minute is up. If you don't leave now, you'll be a sinner against the Zhang Group."
"Haha—", Zhang Jing hadn't even had time to feel sad before Chen Xiao made him laugh at Bai Lu's words.
"Damn it, I'm being threatened by a salesman. What, you're planning to ruin my Zhang Group? I'm waiting for you. But let me tell you, I'll spread the word in Jiangzhou's tech circle that my partners will no longer give you business."
Bai Lu glanced at him with pity and said coldly, "You should leave now. I don't want to see you again."
It's infuriating! She's acting like a mad dog, completely out of nowhere. Most importantly, she's made Chen Xiao very unhappy, and Bai Lu herself feels guilty.
“Fine, I’ll go, Bailu. But you have to understand, there’s a class difference between him and me. It’s impossible for us to be happy if we force ourselves to be together. He just sees you as a stepping stone to high society. But he doesn’t realize that a person from the bottom is a person from the bottom. What’s the point of forcing himself to get up there? Just wait and see him make a fool of himself.”
"Is this idiot someone your family's old friend? Is your family short of friends? How come you know all sorts of people?"
After Zhang Jing left, Chen Xiao shook his head and grumbled. He wasn't too angry about Zhang Jing's remarks. If he hadn't had the system's support today, he might really be from a different world than Bai Lu and himself, as Zhang Jing had said, and they might never have crossed paths in this life. He would have been powerless to retaliate against the humiliation Zhang Jing had caused him today.
He wasn't looking down on himself, but on the people at the bottom. Luckily, he had a system, and luckily, he wasn't from the bottom. So, he would teach him not to underestimate anyone, because if he accidentally bumped into a brick wall, he might be smashed to pieces.
Bai Lu said apologetically, "Chen Xiao, I'm sorry. I'll go back and tell my dad that I'm cutting ties with the Zhang family, otherwise I won't go home."
Chen Xiao was instantly amused by her. This girl must be 27 years old, two years older than him, yet she still acts like a little girl. She must have been too well protected by her family since she was a child.
Just then, he saw her get up and lock the door again. She came back and leaned close to him, whispering, "Chen Xiao, are you going to continue? Don't hold it in."
Chen Xiao smelled the perfume mixed with her natural scent on her body. It was this scent that he found so captivating. Since she had taken the initiative to invite him, of course he wouldn't refuse.
She glanced at the room's furnishings; her executive chair was quite nice. "Bai Lu, I remember you practiced yoga, right?"
"Hmm," no wonder, otherwise how could his body be so flexible?
He picked her up and placed her legs on the armrests of the executive chair. Bai Lu closed her eyes shyly, "How could Chen Xiao be so naughty?"
The office chair groaned and creaked as Chen Xiao moved around while chatting with her to distract her, otherwise she would easily give up.
"Are you planning to develop smart cities? Do you need my help?"
Guo Fu's project originally required finding a construction company in China to cooperate with. Jiangzhou Design Institute is quite capable, and it could be arranged with just a word from Chen Xiao.
"Yes, yes. Gu Meng also said it would be best if you could put in a good word. I... I also want Jiangzhou Design Institute to take on this business."
“Since my Bailu has spoken, there’s no problem. I’ll tell Guo Fu tomorrow that this is called keeping the good stuff within the family.”
Bai Lu was lying on her back, and because this sitting position was too embarrassing, she had kept her eyes closed. But when she heard him say something about "fertile water" and "fields," she seriously suspected that he was making a suggestive joke. She secretly opened her eyes to look at him and found him staring at her with a wicked smile.
The moment their eyes met, she hurriedly closed them again, but her eyelashes trembled like fans, betraying her inner turmoil.
{Chen Xiao is so mean, saying such embarrassing things.}
"By the way, Bai Lu, isn't Gu Meng going to see me at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group tomorrow morning? You can come along, and I'll help you finalize the smart city project."
"Okay, okay."
Bai Sheng stretched in his office and checked the time; it was already 18:50 PM. Was Zhang Jing still with Bai Lu?
That can't be right. It would be amazing if Bai Lu could even chat with him for a minute. Could he have already left? But if he left, why didn't he say goodbye? This guy, sigh, he's a general manager, and he's still so immature.
After thinking about it, I decided to ask my sister what was going on.
In Bai Lu's office, Chen Xiao patted her pert buttocks and then discussed with her the drive system of a rear-wheel drive car, how to accelerate, and what it would be like to accelerate deeply.
The phone rang, and Bai Lu turned to look at Chen Xiao behind her. "Ignore it."
If he were to stop again, it would really traumatize him, and he probably wouldn't want to come back again. But the phone kept ringing, so Chen Xiao carried her to the phone and said, "You answer it."
Picking up the phone, Bai Lu's usually cool voice was terribly hoarse, "What is it?"
"Hey, little sister, what's wrong? Do you have a cold?"
Bai Lu sensed that the rear-wheel-drive car was idling and the transmission was vibrating violently. She immediately said irritably, "Get to the point. If not, I'm hanging up."
"Did Zhang Jing go to your place?"
“I left a long time ago. And let me tell you, don’t have any cooperation with the Zhang Group again, or I’ll run away from home.”
After saying that, he slammed down the phone, leaving Chen Xiao to continue.
In the past, she might not have easily spoken up about having Bai Sheng abandon the cooperation with the Zhang Group, because she couldn't let her own willfulness affect the family business. But things are different now. First of all, Chen Xiao is already unhappy with Zhang Jing, and any future business involving the Zhang Group will inevitably be affected. Therefore, the Bai family must now sever ties with the Zhang family.
As for the potential losses from severing ties with the Bai family, she knew without a doubt that Chen Xiao wouldn't abandon them. Putting aside everything else, just the smart city project alone—if the Bai family could take a share, it would easily generate tens or even hundreds of billions in revenue annually.
Listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, Bai Sheng was stunned for a long time. His sister wasn't usually such an impulsive person, so why was she so determined to cut ties with the Zhang family? What exactly happened just now?
He wanted to call back, but remembering his sister's impatient tone, he figured she was probably up to something important, so he didn't dare bother her again and instead called Zhang Jing.
"Hey Lao Zhang, you left the company without even saying goodbye to me."
"I'm furious, Lao Bai. I've finally seen what the most arrogant salesman in history looks like. He actually dared to threaten me. Can you believe it? A salesman threatening the general manager of a company with an annual output of billions. I suggest you give Bai Lu some advice. How can such a brute be a good match? He'll only bring ruin to your Bai family."
Had he encountered the most arrogant salesman in history? Bai Sheng thought for a moment and immediately realized that Chen Xiao must be with his sister. Recalling his sister's hoarse voice just now, he exclaimed, "My goodness, is this my conservative sister?"
This completely overturned his imagination. At the same time, he knew that Zhang Jing had just had a conflict with Chen Xiao at his sister's place. He rubbed his head and thought, "Those two are both a real pain in the ass."
First of all, Zhang Jing's claim that Chen Xiao threatened him is indeed a bit excessive. No matter how capable a salesperson is, they shouldn't be able to pose any threat to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing's threat to Chen Xiao was also ridiculous; he gets all those orders just by lying at home, so what could you threaten him for?
Bai Sheng felt that this was all a farce and would eventually fizzle out. He thought that what his sister had just said was probably just something she said in anger, and that she would be fine once she calmed down.
After handling some tasks in the office, I asked the driver to bring the car out so I could go home.
As he sat in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, he glanced out the window instinctively, and his gaze immediately sharpened. A Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase lay across the parking space, its champagne gold and black two-tone body resembling a drawn sword. The Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament on the hood reflected a cold light under the streetlights, piercing Bai Sheng's slightly narrowed pupils.
What's going on? This entire industrial park belongs to his Jiangzhou Design Institute; no employee would have a car like this. The person who arrived in this car must be visiting him, but he's never seen anyone like this before.
The driver prepared to start the car. "Wait a moment." He saw his sister, Bai Lu, walking out with a handsome young man. He recognized the young man as Chen Xiao.
At that moment, the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove out, and Bai Sheng's pupils suddenly dilated. What did he see?
The driver got out, jogged to the back, opened the rear door, and Chen Xiao got in. Bai Lu watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom recede into the distance with a look of longing, while Bai Sheng remained silent for a long time.
What's wrong with this world? Salesmen are riding in extended Rolls-Royce Phantoms. He knows Chen Xiao is rich and can afford this car, but you're just a salesman, is it really necessary for you to do this?
"Let's go," he instructed the driver to start the vehicle.
The Burmester sound system in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was playing Chopin's Nocturne when Bai Sheng was suddenly interrupted by a blinding white light—a white Bentley Continental GT overtook him from the left like a bolt of lightning.
The Bentley's taillights glowed blood red at the intersection, their reflection on the Mercedes' rain sensor resembling the stamped seal on a cooperation agreement.
When I got home, I found my father and sister sitting on the sofa in the living room, and they had obviously been talking for a while.
"Bai Sheng, you're back just in time. Today, the three of us will discuss the company's future development direction."
Development direction? Bai Sheng glanced at Bai Lu, guessing that she had probably said the same thing to her father that afternoon as she had said to him—to completely sever ties with the Zhang family.
Bai Sheng accepted the tea offered by the aunt, said thank you, and then sat down next to Bai Lu.
"Your sister said she wants to sever all ties with the Zhang family, and she's told you that too. Now let her give you a reason."
Bai Lu gave a snort, "Zhang Jing insulted me."
"What—" Bai Sheng jumped up. As a fiercely protective brother, he had never dared to raise his voice to Bai Lu since childhood. How dare that bastard Zhang Jing curse her?
"Sit down, calm down, you're a grown man."
Mr. Bai scolded him, but when he turned to Bai Lu, he had a completely different face. He smiled gently and asked, "Daughter, what did Zhang Jing say to you that made you so angry that you wanted us to cut ties with him? Do you know that this cut will result in losses of hundreds of millions for both of us?"
"When he said Chen Xiao wasn't good enough, didn't that mean he was calling me blind?"
Mr. Bai and Bai Sheng exchanged a shocked glance. This young lady's bizarre logic—is this how she curses people? To sever ties with someone over a hundred million just for this? It seems a bit far-fetched.
"Hey, little sister, I think we should discuss this again. After all, Zhang Jing doesn't really understand Chen Xiao, right?"
Bai Lu stood up and interrupted Bai Sheng directly: "There's no room for discussion. Tomorrow I'll help you get the Guo Group's smart city project sorted out, on the condition that you sever ties with the Zhang family."
Don't think I'm being willful. You'll see in a few days. If we don't cut ties, the Zhang family's misfortune will also drag down your cooperative projects, and then the losses will truly amount to hundreds of millions.
I'm going upstairs. I'm a little tired today, so I'll go to bed early.
Bai Sheng glanced at his younger sister, whose legs seemed a little weak as she walked. His eyes twitched. Just how wild had she been playing with Chen Xiao that afternoon? That Chen Xiao is such a jerk! He's taken advantage of my sister and hasn't even bothered to come to the company to see his brother-in-law.
And because of him, she had to sever ties with the Zhang family. Sighing, she looked at her father: "My sister—"
The way Bai's father spoke to Bai Sheng was different from how he spoke to Bai Lu. When he spoke to Bai Lu, he was like a kind father, but when he spoke to Bai Sheng, it was completely the attitude of a leader to a subordinate.
"First of all, your sister said she can help you secure the Guo Group's smart city project. In my opinion, this project has a very large potential, and its annual output value could be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions in the future. If we can get a share of the pie, it could be higher than the current total output value of your entire company. You know your sister; she won't say anything if she's not sure. But where does her confidence come from?"
"Dad, you don't know, the contact person Guo's Group left in Jiangzhou is my sister's college classmate and best friend. I guess it's because of that relationship. I don't know how much weight that special assistant carries. Normally, she can only influence the eldest daughter of the Guo family, but it's impossible for her to control this matter. I also don't know where my sister's confidence comes from."
But she said she'd get it sorted out for me tomorrow, so let's wait for the results. If we can really secure this project, even severing ties with the Zhang family won't matter. Our two families only have business dealings; we don't have any life-or-death relationships. Now, it's his fault for offending my sister. That girl, I can't afford to mess with her."
Bai's father nodded, and just when Bai Sheng thought he was acknowledging his assessment of the business's success, he heard his father say, "I can't afford to offend him either."
He choked on his water and coughed for a long time before his father glared at him and said, "Look at you, you're not steady at all, not even as good as your sister."
Bai Sheng lowered his head and remained silent. No matter what I do, I'll never be as good as my sister in your eyes.
"Dad, there's one more thing. My sister said that the Zhang family's business will be severely impacted. I don't know where she got this information from. The Zhang family is a large enterprise in Jiangzhou. Who could possibly hurt them, let alone severely?"
Mr. Bai sighed and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand it either, but your sister never lies, and she basically doesn't speak about things she's not sure about. So, it's better to believe it's true. If she can help you confirm the smart city project tomorrow, then it will indirectly prove that the Zhang family's business has been hit hard. Be prepared."
Bai Sheng lowered his head and pondered. It seemed that he could only feel sorry for the Zhang family. No, it couldn't be considered as feeling sorry for them. Who told you to insult my brother-in-law? Wasn't that saying my sister was blind?

After finishing her store rounds, Zhang Ping glanced at her phone. Han Xue hadn't called her yet, so she went to wait outside Han's father's tea shop.
In the afternoon, she thought Han Xue might have dinner with the leaders of Junxiao Business Management, but Han Xue told her that the two of them would be eating in the suite that night.
The suite refers to the presidential suite. Zhang Ping was fortunate enough to stay in a presidential suite for the first time in her life. Although the environment was extremely luxurious, she had experienced Han Xue's Rolls-Royce fleet and knew that she was now the chairman of Junxiao Retail, so she took it all for granted.
My classmate is a CEO, it's almost unbelievable. She arrived at the entrance of Han's father's tea shop and found that Xiao Wang was still there. This guy is such a nuisance, doesn't he understand that Han's father doesn't like him? Sticking around here will only make him more annoying.
"Master, Master, let's cooperate. I'll take 20% and you take 80%. As long as we can open a few more stores in Junxiao Commercial Management, I'll take a small loss. What do you think?"
Mr. Han said coldly, "Mr. Wang, if you keep bothering me, I'll sue you for harassment."
Zhang Ping chuckled. It was truly rare to see a woman accusing someone of harassment. She saw that Mr. Wang was also taken aback for a moment, and then he seemed about to say something more. She couldn't help but step forward and say, "Mr. Wang, how can you act like this? Uncle Han's meaning is very clear. Stop bothering him."
Mr. Wang knew she was with Han Xue. At that moment, Han's father said to Zhang Ping, "I'll go get you another drink."
Zhang Ping said, "Uncle Han, I won't drink anymore. Han Xue will come down in a bit, and then we'll go eat."
Dinner was naturally for Han Xue, her father, and Zhang Ping. President Wang immediately said, "How about I treat you to a big meal tonight? Hmm, I also have some good wine; let's have a couple of drinks, master and apprentice."
Zhang Ping was disgusted. How could someone be so shameless? She put her hands on her hips and said, "Mr. Wang, if you keep going like this, don't blame me for not warning you. You'll have to bear the consequences."
He was about to say, "You little girl, how dare you threaten me?"
Suddenly remembering Zhao Guoqing's attitude towards Han Xue, she became timid. Han Xue must be someone important. Who was Zhao Guoqing? He was a man who could shake the business world with a stomp of his foot in Ningxi. Yet, when he saw Han Xue, his expression clearly showed nervousness.
He stood aside dejectedly, neither leaving nor continuing to pester them, probably pondering what to do.
Nie Yuan and Wu Fang arrived at Junwu Plaza together. That evening, Wu Fang hosted him upstairs and, following Zhao Hui's instructions, specially brought two bottles of Moutai. This liquor is usually only served to distinguished guests. Nie Yuan felt respected here, and he was flattered.
His former company, "Youxuan Shangpin," was a large company back then. When he was a regional general manager, he would go to Wansheng Group's regional office, and they might not even invite him to dinner. Today, Junxiao Commercial Management is more powerful than Wansheng Group's regional office, and it is the regional headquarters. They invited him to dinner and served him Moutai. He felt like he was floating on air. Being valued so much by President Zhao is something he can brag about for the rest of his life.
Seeing Zhang Ping standing in front of Han Xue's father's tea shop from afar, he naturally knew that it was run by Han Xue's father, since the brand was supported by Dongjian Trading. He assumed that Han Xue was there and wanted to come over and say hello.
He didn't know Han Xue's current position, but no position was as valuable as being Chen Xiao's woman. "Zhang Ping, what are you doing standing here?"
Looking around, not seeing Han Xue, Nie Yuan greeted Han's father as he came out of the store, "President Han."
Mr. Han was very welcoming to him, after all, the brand he worked for belonged to that company. "President Nie, you're here. How many days can you stay in Tianning this time? I'd like to treat you to a meal. If it weren't for your and President Ma's help, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Nie Yuan broke out in a sweat; he dared not accept such praise. "President Han, you're too kind. I didn't do anything."
These words made Xiao Wang's eyes light up. From their conversation, he learned that this Mr. Nie was the general manager of Dongjian Trading, and that he had granted Mr. Han the agency rights for both of the Han family's brands.
Dongjian Trading has recently opened quite a few stores in Ningxi. Wouldn't it be great if they could franchise a few of my stores?
Thinking of this, he immediately approached again, "Mr. Nie, hello."
Nie Yuan turned to look at him, but didn't recognize him.
"I own a fruit drink shop on the basement level. I've been in the fruit drink business for several years and have extensive experience in management. I hope we can cooperate."
"Oh, okay!" Nie Yuan, unsure of his background, hesitated to express his opinion. Seeing Zhang Ping looking at President Wang with disdain, he roughly understood that this man had no connection to the Han family, so his attitude cooled, and he turned to Zhang Ping, asking, "Where are you staying tonight?"
