Luffy is still very impressive when entertaining guests. He booked a presidential suite for Joy and business suites for everyone else.

This immediately elevated JOY's impression of Luffy by several notches. Despite being the CEO of Adidas China, he was still just an employee, and staying in a presidential suite on business trips was a bit excessive. With the company's performance declining, travel expenses needed to be cut.

Even their directors don't stay in business suites on business trips, so today they've all been upgraded.

After sending them back to their rooms, Luffy returned to the Junxiao Lakeside CBD center to wait for notifications from there.

Inside Chen Xiao's office, Ma Jing and Zhang Ziqian were handling various matters for him, collecting important information from various business units, and reporting it to him one by one.

He was unwilling to listen to the details, only wanting a general overview; Xu Wu was in charge of the details.

He stretched, checked the time, and sent a message to Xiao Yuting to come over. It would be almost time to leave for the yacht soon. He was taking her, Ziqian, and Ma Jing out for some fun today.

Cha Lan thinks it's pretty good that he bought this yacht. Before, when he went out to play with Xiang Jun, he always felt that there was nothing fun to do in Jiangzhou. Now that he has a yacht, he can often take her out to sea to relax.

Xiao Yuting looked at herself in the mirror in the hotel room, and Zhang Ruier laughed beside her, "Yuting, you don't usually care this much about your makeup. Are you going to meet your lover today?"

She was trying to get information out of Xiao Yuting. Xiao Yuting didn't deny it and said to her, "I'm going out for a bit."

Zhang Ruier's eyes darted around, knowing that she must have guessed right. She sighed and said in a deliberately mournful tone, "Oh dear, all of Yuting has found a boyfriend, but I'm the only old maid who no one wants."

Knowing she was being quirky, he ignored her. With Zhang Ruier's looks, she certainly had no shortage of suitors; if she wanted, she could easily find a boyfriend.

Xiao Yuting was in a good mood as she boarded the elevator to go downstairs. Just as the elevator doors were about to close, someone outside called out, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."

She pressed a button, and the elevator doors opened again. Several middle-aged men entered the elevator, one of whom glanced at her and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Xiao Yuting?"

Xiao Yuting gave a helpless bitter smile; she had run into fans again.

JOY was drawn in by the shout of Adidas' national sales director and couldn't help but glance at Xiao Yuting, thinking to herself, "She's really beautiful, but she's too tall, which makes people feel inferior."

He and the sales director are both under 175 cm tall, while Xiao Yuting is 184 cm tall, so they can only look up at her.

"Can we add each other on WeChat?" The sales director's eyes gleamed, but Xiao Yuting disliked that gleam intensely.

"Sorry, I don't add people on WeChat casually." At that moment, she thought of the time when she added Chen Xiao on WeChat and couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Yuting's lips curved slightly, her smile as delicate as a newly blooming magnolia, a graceful arc spreading across her lips. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, the shadows cast by her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, and the light in her eyes shone brighter than the Milky Way.

The sales director was stunned. Even after Xiao Yuting stepped out of the elevator, he was still in a daze. He accidentally bumped into the elevator door frame as he came out, "Ouch!"

JOY glanced back at him and said, "What's wrong with you today? You have no self-control at all."

The sales director's heart tightened. The boss was unhappy with him. He hadn't been able to help but scream once during the meeting with Xu Jun, and he had just lost his composure again. But Xiao Yuting was really too beautiful.
Luffy came to pick up JOY and Adidas's director. The rest of their team did not participate. Adidas has many customer stores in Qingzhou, and the team will also visit the stores after arriving. Sightseeing is the boss's business. The director came along because he is familiar with Luffy and will be handling the business of Jiexun Sports later.

Upon entering the hall, Luffy was immediately struck by Xiao Yuting's striking looks and height, making her an undisputed focal point. He spotted her instantly and quickly ran over to greet her, "President Xiao."

Xiao Yuting had a vague impression of him, but couldn't recall his name. She only knew he was someone close to Chen Xiao, so she smiled and nodded.

She was pleased with their politeness and felt recognized and accepted as Chen Xiao's woman.

"I'm going to find Mr. Chen. You go ahead with your work."

After telling Luffy, she left the hotel, while Luffy continued walking inside to pick up JOY.

The sales director was delayed for a moment because he was bumped by the elevator door. Luffy greeted Xiao Yuting and took a few steps inside when he saw JOY and the director who was walking with a limp.

“JOY, Lao Han.”

After the negotiations led by Xu Jun, Luffy can now look at Joy as an equal. Today's negotiations could even be described as Luffy completely dominating the conversation.

"The car is already at the door. Let's get in and talk on the way."

The car that picked up JOY was Junxiao Commercial Management's Glory 009 nanny van. After everyone got in, the car drove to the dock in the suburbs.

Xiao Yuting was taken to Zhang Ziqian's office, where Chen Xiao introduced her to Ma Jing.

The two women had the same feeling: "This must be his woman."

Zhang Ziqian poured her a cup of tea, and Chen Xiao sat down next to her, saying softly, "Yuting has been working hard lately. She recently bought a yacht, and I'll take you up there for some fun this afternoon. If you want to go up there in the future, you can ask Cha Lan to arrange it."

The women were used to him doing strange and unusual things, so they would accept it even if he said he bought a spaceship, let alone a yacht.

From buying the Pan-Ship Hotel to acquiring the Shanghai Huijin Plaza, he has honed his skills along the way.

Xiao Yuting quickly became close friends with Ma Jing. Among Chen Xiao's women, she used to be very familiar with Zhang Ziqian. She was able to get so close to Chen Xiao thanks to Zhang Ziqian's help. Ma Jing was Zhang Ziqian's best friend, and as just introduced, she was also Chen Xiao's personal assistant.

This prompted Xiao Yuting to deliberately befriend Ma Jing, who was also a very straightforward person, similar to Xiao Yuting. They had a lot in common when they chatted.

"Yuting, I used to really like you when I watched car models walk the runway. You are noble, beautiful and have a queenly aura."

Seeing that Ma Jing had so much to say, Chen Xiao checked the time and said to Zhang Ziqian, "Notify Xu Jun, let's set off."

Zhang Ziqian had already arranged the vehicles. Chen Xiao and Xiao Yuting sat in the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom, while Zhang Ziqian and Ma Jing got into the Glamour 009 in the back.
Two Wrangler security vehicles followed, heading towards the suburban dock in a grand procession. Xu Jun followed after them, but Chen Xiao did not wait for him and chose to meet him at the dock.

When Luffy, Joy, and the director arrived at the dock, Chalan was already there. Looking at the fat old man getting off the Maybach S680, Joy didn't dare to underestimate him; anyone who could ride in that car was no ordinary person.

Sure enough, Luffy introduced him, "This is Mr. Cha Lan, the chairman of Zhifei Aerospace."

He works in sports branding and doesn't know much about tech companies, but Luffy's next words startled him: "Mr. Cha's company now has an annual output value of nearly 200 billion."

Despite Adidas's market capitalization still being in the hundreds of billions after years of continuous decline, that's a global business, and its profits have been declining in recent years. Chalan, on the other hand, operates in the high-tech industry, and its 200 billion yuan market capitalization is highly valuable, with profit margins far exceeding Adidas's.

I never expected this unassuming old man to have such a distinguished background.

After shaking hands with each of them, Cha Lan said to Luffy, "Mr. Luffy, would you like to lead them up first? I'll wait for Mr. Chen down here."

JOY and the director then realized that the huge private yacht docked at the pier was the vehicle they were going to hitch a ride on today. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the meaning in each other's eyes: "Holy crap, this guy is really rich."

Today, apart from the beauties prepared for Chen Xiao, all the other crew members on the Azam were on duty. As soon as Luffy, Joy, and the director boarded the yacht, beautiful waitresses came to greet them.

Luffy kept Cha Lan's instructions in mind: some areas on the yacht were Mr. Chen's private space, and they were not allowed to approach them. Of course, these areas were guarded, so they couldn't get close anyway. Cha Lan reminded him to avoid any misunderstandings.

The waiter led them, sought Luffy's opinion, and then took them to the yacht's open-air salon. The main salon, spanning 522 square meters, features a pillarless structure and floor-to-ceiling bulletproof glass on both sides, offering a 270-degree panoramic view. Here, one can enjoy fine wines and snacks while admiring the sea view.

"We'll have to wait a bit; Mr. Xu will be here shortly."

He figured President Chen probably wouldn't be interested in meeting Joy, so he only mentioned Xu Jun. Considering President Chen's status, even if it were their global CEO, President Chen might not be interested in meeting him, let alone Joy.

The group took a glass of red wine and chatted while admiring the luxurious decor of the yacht, waiting for Xu Jun's arrival.

Director Han looked at Luffy, secretly marveling. Luffy had changed so much. Before, when he came, Luffy would have to flatter him, but now he could chat and laugh with Joy. But considering that Luffy had the backing of Junxiao Business Management, he had really made it big.

Besides, when I went to Tianning before, he would at most take me to a private restaurant, which would cost a few thousand yuan and that would be considered quite good. Now he has actually arranged such a luxurious yacht. Although it is not suitable for him, it is still remarkable that he is qualified to come aboard.

However, Director Han guessed that this was probably still the work of that General Manager Xu.

JOY took a sip of the red wine in her glass and exclaimed in surprise, "What a fine wine! What kind of wine is this?"

Luffy beckoned, and a waiter came over. Luffy asked, "What kind of wine is this?" The beautiful waiter politely leaned forward and replied, "This wine is Romanée-Conti."

ho~
Luffy didn't seem to notice anything; he was just a nouveau riche who hadn't tasted much fine wine before, so naturally he didn't know its value. Joy, however, did recognize it. It was a legendary wine from the Burgundy region, known as "a wine only billionaires could afford."

这种酒,需购买12瓶康帝酒园其他酒款才能获1瓶罗曼尼·康帝。单瓶拍卖价:约15万-50万华夏币(年份与稀缺性影响,如1945年份曾拍出380万/瓶)。

But in the yacht's salon, guests were allowed to help themselves as they pleased, like taking a bottle of Coca-Cola.

JOY had no idea that Luffy was completely unaware of Romani Conti's value. Seeing Luffy's casual demeanor, JOY was secretly shocked. She realized that she had underestimated him before; Luffy's level of understanding was extraordinary.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom's starry sky roof transformed into a flowing galaxy in the tunnel, and Xiao Yuting's champagne-colored skirt quietly rolled up with the car's sway, revealing the inside of her snow-white thighs.

Standing at 184 cm tall, Xiao Yuting possesses a golden ratio of nine heads, and her pair of long, snow-white legs are a powerful weapon bestowed upon her by God to subdue men. Chen Xiao couldn't resist reaching out and stroking them back and forth.

Xiao Yuting gave a soft hum, leaned back, closed her eyes, and pretended not to know anything. His fingers brushed against her skin, the coolness of the Patek Philippe metal on his wrist making her knees tremble slightly. And the path of his fingertips gradually moved inward.

With a muffled groan, she suddenly clamped her legs around his hand, her eyes widening as she stared at him, her long eyelashes fluttering like fans.

{This bad guy attacked my vitals right there in the car.}
Little did she know that Chen Xiao was trying to warm her up. They had known each other for so long, and he knew very well that Xiao Yuting had feelings for him, and he also quite liked this beautiful girl.

Xiao Yuting is a bit reserved, and if Chen Xiao doesn't take the initiative, he doesn't know when he'll be able to enjoy this God-given beauty.

He even found a good reason for himself—if he didn't win her over, wouldn't he be wasting her prime years? How could he be so irresponsible? How could a good man let down such a beautiful woman?

"Yuting, come here."

He gestured to his thighs, indicating that she should move over. The rear privacy space of the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom allowed him to do as he pleased.

Xiao Yuting's earlobes shimmered with a coral hue in the warm light of the carriage. The moment the tips of her high heels touched the carpet, the light streaming in from the window just happened to brush over her fan-like eyelashes.

As she straddled him, the hem of her skirt brushed against his knees, revealing a pale gold chain at her ankle—Chen Xiao's hand naturally gripped her lower back, his thumb pressing precisely on the embroidered pattern beneath the fabric.

He gently lifted her chin with his hand, then pressed down on the back of her neck with his hand, and pried open her mouth with his tongue. His other hand was not idle; it reached under her skirt and grabbed her large buttocks, causing her to shudder involuntarily, then relax and let him fondle them.

Luffy and Joy chatted about the domestic retail scene while looking in the direction of the dock inspection station. If Xu Jun came, he would definitely be here.

The most important thing JOY did during her trip to Jiangzhou was to gain Xu Jun's friendship. Adidas has almost no chance to fight back in the competition with Nike. When major commercial complexes are building high-end sports stores, if there is only one location available, Nike will definitely be given priority. This has led to Adidas's gradual decline in high-end shopping malls, and it can only open some lower-end small stores.

All the stores currently owned by Junxiao Commercial Management are prime locations that Adidas is vying for, representing high-quality projects. Junxiao City and Junwu Plaza, in particular, are places that Adidas has always dreamed of opening large stores in.

Unfortunately, these venues are extremely valuable, especially Junxiaocheng, where the first floor is reserved for high-end luxury brands. These brands can contribute hundreds of millions in sales annually. How much can Adidas sell? Especially when you're neighbors with high-end luxury brands, do you deserve it?

If Adidas were placed next to other high-end luxury brands, those brands would definitely protest vehemently, and there's even a possibility they would close their stores. This would elevate Adidas's prestige, but it would make those high-end luxury brands look bad.

But JOY was thinking, could we skirt the rules? Because many high-end luxury brands have stores on the first and second floors. Even Adidas's top-tier stores aren't allowed to be adjacent to them on the first floor, but the second floor should be okay. The second floor is usually occupied by mid-range luxury brands, which Junxiao Commercial Management can easily control. Who would dare to say no?

This satisfies Adidas's needs without causing unpleasantness with those luxury brands. JOY has come up with a good solution for Junxiao Business Management.

But he knew that this plan would work, and that various shopping malls would give NK priority, based on their status and seniority, which he couldn't do anything about.

If Xu Jun can provide support and help us achieve a breakthrough in opening a few stores, it would be more meaningful than him opening 100 small stores.

"President Lu, I didn't expect President Xu to support you so much. Among suppliers nationwide, you are the first one to have such a big shot stand up for you like this."

The two had become quite familiar with each other by now, and their conversation became more casual.

Luffy smiled mysteriously. Xu Jun wasn't just standing up for him; it was his duty. Luffy had figured this out when he arrived. Although Jiexun Sports couldn't even compare to a hair's breadth of Junxiao Business Management in terms of business scale, it was a business controlled by General Manager Zhao, essentially Chen Xiao's personal assets.

Would Xu Jun dare not go all out? Besides, both Lu Fei and Xu Jun understand that Jiexun Sports' most important mission is not to make a lot of money, but to strike Jincheng Sports Group quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. In this matter, whoever is careless will perish.

Wei Ming almost injured General Manager Zhao, but he had already injured General Manager He. General Manager Chen would not easily let go of this grudge against Jincheng Sports Group. Even a super behemoth like Wansheng Group was dealt with by General Manager Chen without hesitation. Jincheng Sports Group was nothing. If he didn't deal with it quickly, General Manager Chen might become dissatisfied with him.

Thinking that Chen Xiao might be unhappy with him, Luffy subconsciously shivered and quickly apologized to Joy, saying he needed to send a message.

He took out his phone and ordered the people in Shanghai to continue monitoring Wei Ming. If he showed his face, they would deal with him. Luffy allocated 1000 million yuan specifically for this matter, to target Wei Ming personally.

He's completely obsessed. Even when he's talking to someone as important as Joy, he still can't forget about messing with Wei Ming.

At this moment, Director Han called out, "Is that Mr. Xu's car?"

A convoy of Rolls-Royce Phantoms slowly approached from a distance. The license plates were obscured, but Luffy guessed from the cars that it wasn't Xu Jun, as these were extended Phantoms; it must be President Chen arriving. However, there was also a Glorious 009 following behind; it was unclear whether President Xu was among them.

Cha Lan strode forward to open the door for Chen Xiao. JOY exclaimed in surprise, "For President Cha to open the door, it must be President Xu."

Luffy smiled and thought to himself, "You might not understand. President Xu's position in front of President Chen may not be as high as President Cha's. If it were President Xu, Cha Lan definitely wouldn't have opened the door."

Chen Xiao got out of the car and chatted with Cha Lan. Because he was facing away from them, they couldn't see his face clearly, but they could tell from his height and build that this was not Xu Jun, but a young man.

Director Han couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Jiangzhou is full of hidden talents! Is this the mysterious rich second generation?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another Rolls-Royce Phantom convoy arrived. Luffy glanced at it and realized this must be Xu Jun's car. Sure enough, the car stopped, and Xu Jun got out before the driver could open the door, heading towards Chen Xiao.

JOY exclaimed, "Oh, so he was with President Xu. Junxiao Business Management is really something else, Rolls-Royces are everywhere."

At this moment, Ma Jing and Zhang Ziqian got off the Guanghui 009. When Xu Jun passed by, they greeted each other, and Xiao Yuting also walked over from the other side of the car.

Xiao Yuting's height is rare, and given that he had just seen her wearing the same clothes in the elevator earlier that day, even though he didn't think much of her features, Director Han still exclaimed, "That looks like Xiao Yuting."

JOY gave him an unpleasant look. He's such a grown man, yet he still acts like a fanatical fan.

Then Director Han added, "Wow, did President Xu bring a few beautiful women to keep us company? This hospitality is..."

"Old Han, you're talking nonsense!"

Luffy roared, startling Joy, who had no idea what had gotten into him.

Director Han's expression changed. "President Lu, what do you mean?"

I'm furious! You've gotten so close to my boss, and this is how you treat me? You've forgotten all about how you used to fawn over me. Besides, we're customers; there's no right to insult customers like that.

But Luffy didn't explain, instead saying coldly and menacingly, "Old Han, I'm only saying this to you because I consider you a brother—"

He was only halfway through his sentence when he made Director Han laugh in anger. "Are you insulting me or treating me like a brother? Is there any logic in this world? I can't afford to be friends with a brother like you."

Luffy continued, "If you continue to speak disrespectfully, I can throw you into the sea to feed the fish."

Disrespectful words? JOY and Director Han finally understood why Luffy was angry. But Director Han was just asking; many wealthy people like to hire celebrities and models when they go to sea. It's not surprising that Director Han had this idea; even JOY thought so, they just didn't ask.

Director Han's face turned red with anger. He felt utterly humiliated by such a reprimand. In the past, he would have definitely tried to make things difficult for Luffy in their cooperation, but now that he had Junxiao Management backing him, Director Han dared not do so and could only swallow his anger.

JOY, being rather perceptive, wondered if those women were someone important, given the fear he saw in Luffy's eyes in addition to anger. Thinking this, he turned back to look out the window and saw Xu Jun walk up to the young man's back and stand respectfully to the side.

His pupils contracted, and he immediately tensed up. Xu Jun's demeanor meant he had encountered a super big shot. Then, recalling that Xiao Yuting had gotten out of that car, he immediately understood why Director Han's words had made Luffy both angry and terrified.

Clearly, he recognized the young man and harbored a natural fear of him. (End of Chapter)
