Chapter 509 seems to be no worse than hers.

Chen Xiao still didn't go to Junxiao Lakeside Hotel to find Guo Fu the next morning, which made Guo Fu feel even worse. She took the initiative to send him a message, saying she wanted to come to his office to find him.

That was perfectly acceptable. Zhang Ziqian personally went downstairs to meet Guo Fu, whose eyes were slightly red. Despite her still beautiful appearance, she looked tired, and Zhang Ziqian guessed that she probably hadn't slept well last night. As Chen Xiao's personal secretary, Zhang Ziqian knew more than anyone else.

When Zhang Ziqian met Guo Sheng in Shanghai last time, she accompanied him. However, she avoided talking about the specifics of the meeting. But she clearly noticed that Chen Xiao was unhappy after talking with Guo Sheng. Based on the various signs that followed, she roughly knew what Guo Sheng had talked about with the boss and why Guo Fu had come this time.

"Sigh, this young lady still doesn't understand her boss. He'll probably try to satisfy whatever his women ask of him, but they just can't offend Zhao Xiangjun."

I really don't know what this person was thinking. To secure their position, the most important thing they should do is cultivate a good relationship with Zhao Xiangjun. How come someone with such a sharp business mind is so far inferior to He Qing in handling this kind of situation? Look at He Qing, who was originally on the periphery of the boss's women, but gradually rose to the top because of her understanding nature. Then, after being injured while protecting Zhao Xiangjun, He Qing's status improved dramatically. Not only does the boss like her, but the boss's wife does too. Now she lives at home with the boss every day and openly serves him on behalf of Zhao Xiangjun.
Guo Fu, of course, had no idea what Zhang Ziqian was thinking. She also valued Chen Xiao's chief secretary, and asked with a forced smile, "Ziqian, has President Chen been very busy these past few days?"

Zhang Ziqian naturally understood her resentment and explained, "I'm very busy. In a while, Xu Jun, the chairman of Junxiao Commercial Management, will come to report to him on the matter of Shanghai Hengyuan Plaza. Several other business owners will also report important matters to him."

Hearing that he was genuinely busy made Guo Fu feel a little better. In fact, she knew that Chen Xiao could completely ignore these things, but she had at least given him an excuse, so she kept giving herself psychological comfort to make herself feel better.

Following Zhang Ziqian to Chen Xiao's office, Guo Fu found it quite lively today. Upon seeing her, Chen Xiao smiled, but whether it was just her imagination or not, she sensed a distance beneath his politeness. Guo Fu nodded to everyone present and then sat down.

Chen Xiao introduced everyone to her. Guo Fu had come a few times, but apart from being a little familiar with Zhang Ziqian, the other person was He Qing, whom she had met in Seoul last time.

"This is Xu Jun, the chairman of Junxiao Commercial Management. Mr. Xu is very capable. In just six months, Junxiao Commercial Management has become a super-large company with fixed assets of over 4000 billion yuan."

Xu Jun was extremely uneasy. He had come to report the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza to General Manager Chen. He hadn't expected General Manager Gao to be there as well, and he was afraid that General Manager Gao would bring up what happened last night. Fortunately, Gao Yue seemed to have done nothing, which put Xu Jun's mind at ease, and he felt grateful to Gao Yue.

Upon seeing Guo Fu and hearing President Chen introduce her as the eldest daughter of the Guo Group, Xu Jun knew that she had played a key role in the acquisition of Huijin Plaza. Seeing her radiant beauty and captivating charm, how could such a beauty possibly escape President Chen's notice? She must be an empress.

Hearing Chen Xiao praise him, he was startled and said repeatedly, "This is the support from President Chen and President Xu. It has little to do with me. It's all because the company has the strength to acquire so many high-quality properties. My role is to make these properties continue to appreciate in value, and I haven't done enough in that regard."

He was quite self-aware. Guo Fu greeted him politely. Junxiao Business Management had become famous overnight and was a well-known name in the Chinese business circle. Who would have thought that this was a company that had been established for less than a year?

Guo Fu thought to herself that the Guo Group's current scale was the result of generations of accumulation, while Junxiao Commercial Management was only a product of less than a year. It was truly a freak, no wonder he looked down on the Guo family's small shareholding.

"This is Ms. Gao, the general manager of Junxiao Hotel Management Group. Her hotel assets are now over 100 billion yuan. Moreover, Ms. Gao has now entered a frenzy mode, and it is expected that by the end of the year, her hotel assets will exceed 200 billion yuan. It is worth mentioning that Junxiao Hotel Management Group's revenue is now no less than that of Junxiao Commercial Management. By the way, you have also handled luxury hotels before. You can introduce your resources in this area to Ms. Gao later."

Guo Fu looked at Gao Yue. She naturally knew the name of Junxiao Hotel. Every time she came, she stayed at Junxiao Lakeside Hotel. The service level of this six-star hotel was no worse than that of a six-star hotel in an international metropolis. It was said that after acquiring the Dubai Ocean Cruise Hotel, she revised the hotel management standards. Although it was a six-star hotel, the service was on par with hotels above seven stars.

By the end of the year, this beautiful CEO Gao will be managing a luxury hotel group with assets exceeding 2000 billion yuan. Her business influence is probably even greater than her own. Guo Fu thought to herself, and the sense of superiority she had as a daughter of a wealthy family disappeared instantly. The two women in front of her were no less powerful than herself.

Gao Yue was clearly Chen Xiao's woman; you could tell from her words and her expression towards Chen Xiao. At that moment, she laughed and said, "The gap between me and President Xu is getting wider and wider. It seems my efforts are not enough."

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "It's because our initial budget was too conservative, which dragged down President Gao. Here's what we'll do: in addition to the 500 billion we promised you last time, I'll prepare another 1000 billion for you. If that's not enough, you can come to me or President Xu again."

Gao Yue was overjoyed. “It’s a deal. My next step is not just acquisitions, but also building my own. These 6-star hotels I’ve bought are still a bit far from the top luxury hotels in my mind. I plan to build 7-star super luxury hotels in several first-tier cities. At that time, 1500 billion may not be enough for me. Boss, you should be prepared.”

He waved his hand and said, "It's alright. I can still earn enough for you to spend. Besides, what you're doing is an investment, turning money into assets. What am I afraid of?"

Xu Jun sat awkwardly to the side, watching President Gao and President Chen act as if no one else was around, completely unconcerned that people around them knew about their relationship. He thought of his good-for-nothing son and decided to teach him a lesson this time. Fortunately, President Gao was magnanimous; otherwise, given President Chen's doting on him, that bastard Xu Chen would probably have had to go back to school.

"This is Han Xue, the chairman of our Junxiao Retail Group. This business is just starting out, but I have high expectations for her. In the future, in addition to building boutique stores in Junxiao Commercial Management projects, we will also build some superstores and create a project worth hundreds of billions."

Following Chen Xiao's introduction, Guo Fu looked at Han Xue. She was so beautiful, with exquisite and flawless features, plus a model-like figure, exuding a cool and aloof temperament. Guo Fu noticed that she even resembled Zhao Xiangjun in some ways. She wondered if Chen Xiao's affection for her stemmed from his love for Zhao Xiangjun; otherwise, why would he let a girl in her early twenties manage such a large-scale enterprise?

“I don’t need to introduce Ma Jing. I’ve met her before at Dr. Feng’s Robotics Technology Group. She’s here now to help Ziqian with some administrative work for me.”

Guo Fu nodded, somewhat disheartened. She realized that any woman randomly picked from Chen Xiao's side was in charge of a project no less impressive than her own, and there was even Xu Wu, the head of Junxiao Group, whom she had never met. She suddenly felt that her supposed connections were utterly insignificant; these women were all incredibly capable. Of course, Chen Xiao had helped cultivate these women, but thinking about it, he could easily cultivate a woman no less capable than herself. What were her own resources compared to Chen Xiao's? Besides, none of these women could compete with Zhao Xiangjun; what was she compared to them?

She didn't know if the appearance of these people here was a deliberate arrangement by Chen Xiao to warn her, or just a coincidence.

After the introduction, I listened quietly as Xu Jun reported on the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza. Hengyuan Real Estate's shareholders' meeting had already resolved to sell the entire project as a package for 950 billion RMB.
Even if the Guo family raised 95 billion in a short period of time, they wouldn't have the ability to do so. It would probably take them at least three months to come up with that much money. Guo Fu looked at Chen Xiao. Last time, the acquisition of Huijin Plaza cost 90 billion. Could he raise the funds in a short period of time this time?

"You can preside over the signing ceremony for this acquisition. I won't participate. We'll discuss the funding issue with President Xu later. The funds will be allocated from the group's finance department. Don't touch the funds in Junxiao Commercial Management's accounts; those funds will remain for your normal operations."

Guo Fu's originally bright and charming eyes suddenly widened, her pupils contracting sharply, as if she had been hit by a strong light, and even her eyelashes forgot to tremble. But the next moment she laughed self-deprecatingly. How could she have thought that this amount of money could stump him? He had just said that he would prepare another 1000 billion for Gao Yue. Obviously, his financial pool was incredibly powerful.

Xu Jun took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that President Chen would entrust him with such an important matter. Overwhelmed with emotion, he recalled Xu Chen's offense against Gao Yue. Fortunately, that beast hadn't caused a major disaster. Otherwise, someone like him, who was "favored by the emperor," might have been exiled to the frontier by now.

The boss treats him like a brother, while he treats the boss like a parent. Xu Jun is almost ready to declare his determination to devote himself to the cause until his dying breath.

His face flushed red, even his ears burned, as if he had drunk a bowl of scalding ginger soup. His hand holding the document trembled uncontrollably, and the paper made a soft rustling sound.

“Mr. Chen, this… I…” He opened his mouth, but only managed to squeeze out a few fragmented words, like a tape recorder that had jammed.

"Alright, enough of that. Hurry back to your office. Don't you have guests today?"

Xu Jun then remembered that Jack, the executive director of NK's global headquarters, had come to visit today and was waiting downstairs. Since the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza had just been confirmed, he hadn't expected to report to President Chen today. In addition, President Chen's schedule was unpredictable, so he had to make do and apologized to Jack.

As the executive director of NK Global, Jack probably rarely encountered a situation like today. He sat in the reception room outside Xu Jun's office, sipping the tea served by his secretary. Fortunately, Xu Jun had greeted him before going up, so it wasn't too awkward.

Knowing that Xu Jun was reporting to General Manager Chen, he expressed his understanding. It was simply that the situation was beyond his control. In the current Chinese market, Junxiao Commercial Management was an extremely powerful commercial force. Although there were currently fewer than 50 projects nationwide, these 50 projects were all high-quality projects that all brands had to compete for.

Tom was very nervous. It was in this very reception room that he had his falling out with Xu Jun last time. How would things go today? Even if they did well, it was uncertain whether Xu Jun would use this opportunity to retaliate, especially since Tom hadn't given him face last time. He still didn't know that what angered Xu Jun most wasn't the lack of respect, but rather that Xu Jun hadn't handled the task assigned by President Chen properly. For that alone, Tom had thoroughly offended Xu Jun. He also didn't know that the young man who had caused them trouble last night was Xu Jun's son. He had gone home and badmouthed them, almost blaming Jack and the others, along with President Wei, for the trouble. Fortunately, Xu Jun knew what kind of person his son was; otherwise, if he held a grudge, he certainly wouldn't have given them a pleasant look today.

Xu Jun returned, his face beaming with undisguised joy, and his attitude towards Jack improved considerably. "I'm so sorry, I have an important case to report to President Chen."

Jack laughed and said, "I can understand. Mr. Chen is so busy, we have to accommodate his schedule."

Xu Jun sat down at the host's seat. He didn't know how to describe how busy President Chen was. He was indeed very busy, but he didn't spend much time on work. Most of his time was spent with women. Thinking about the room full of beautiful women, he was truly blessed with good fortune.

They were all in high positions and their time was precious. They didn't have much time to build relationships, so Jack went straight to the point and expressed his desire to deepen cooperation with Junxiao Business Management.

Xu Jun smiled upon hearing this, giving Tom a meaningful look, which immediately made Tom sense something was wrong.

"I invited Tom here earlier for this purpose, hoping that we could deepen our cooperation in all aspects, but Tom doesn't seem interested. Soon, all of Junxiao Commercial Management's NK will be withdrawn."

What? This was the first time Jack had heard of this. He was so eager to cooperate with Junxiao Commercial Management on their project that he couldn't wait to do so. How could they be terminating their cooperation completely? Moreover, Xu Jun's intention was that he also wanted to deepen his cooperation with NK, but Tom refused.
He immediately recalled that back in Shanghai, Luffy from Jiexun Sports seemed to have said something similar in a sarcastic tone. Of course, he hadn't paid any attention to it. Now that Xu Jun was saying it again, he took it very seriously. He turned to look at Tom and found that he was pale and trembling despite being sitting.

It seems Mr. Xu was right. After all, given Xu Jun's status, how could he possibly lie to Tom's face, especially accusing him? Judging by his attitude, it was clearly a no-brainer. Jack just couldn't understand why Tom would refuse to cooperate with Junxiao Commercial Management. This was sent by a competitor; why would they so blatantly do something that harmed the company's interests?

"Mr. Xu, is there some misunderstanding here? Junxiao Commercial Management is our most valued client partner in China, and we will fully cooperate with Junxiao Commercial Management's requirements."

Xu Jun picked up the teacup and said, "Jack, have a taste. This is the best top-grade Houkui tea in China."

He was quite relaxed at the moment, but Jack was already sweating with anxiety and had no mood to enjoy tea. Hearing Xu Jun say this, he could only raise his cup and take a sip, praising repeatedly: "Good tea, good tea. I am super fascinated by Eastern culture, and the tea culture of China is even more profound."

Actually, he didn't taste anything special; his mind was preoccupied with how to salvage the partnership with Junxiao Commercial Management, and even how to deepen it further. Crisis, crisis—he'd experienced too many crises in his life; many dangers had ultimately turned into opportunities, and he felt today could be no different.

If there's absolutely no chance, Xu Jun won't even see him. Now he just needs to hear whether NK can accept the other party's offer.

“Jack, Junxiao Commercial Management mainly focuses on the high-end market. You should know that all our projects are core projects in the local area. Therefore, we do not lack any particular brand. On the contrary, if NK cannot enter these core projects, I don’t need to elaborate on how much it would affect the brand image. You are in the brand business, so you know this better than I do.”

Jack nodded heavily, his expression extremely grave. This was his biggest complaint about Tom. If NK wasn't included in so many core projects across so many cities, it wasn't just a matter of losing market share; the impact on the brand image was extremely serious, and competitors taking advantage of the situation would be a fatal blow. The fact that all 18 projects in Junxiao City had landed in Adidas's high-end stores had caused a huge stir in the retail industry, affecting NK's ability to secure store locations nationwide. And this was just the beginning; if this situation continued to escalate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Mr. Xu, please feel free to make any requests you may have. If I cannot give you an answer now, I will definitely take it back to the global headquarters. You believe I have the ability to persuade those senior executives."

He certainly believed that even the CEO had to give him some leeway as the executive director of the global headquarters, which was why Xu Jun was willing to meet him. Bringing NK along to attack Jincheng Sports Group would be the only way to make Jincheng Sports Group collapse faster; he had the mission that President Chen had given him and Luffy etched in his mind.

"Let Mr. Lu from Jiexun Sports bring up the specifics. Junxiao Commercial Management provides unlimited support to Jiexun Sports. As long as Mr. Lu wants to participate in any project of Junxiao Commercial Management, he can participate."

Hiss—Jack finally understands why Adi was able to get into Junxiao City. It seems that fat guy named Luffy has a lot of influence.

If it weren't for the fact that Jun Xiaocheng had a full-scale cooperation with Adidas, Jack might have thought Xu Jun's statement today was just an attitude, since no contract was being signed. However, with Adidas now fully cooperating with Jun Xiaocheng, he couldn't help but take Xu Jun's attitude seriously.

"I understand, Mr. Xu. I will ask Tom to talk to Mr. Lu."

It seems Jack still looks down on Luffy, feeling their ranks are too disparate. After all, Jack is the executive director of the global headquarters, while Luffy was just a regional distributor before. Even a mid-level manager in NK's China region had to be addressed as "boss" by Luffy. Having Tom talk to him is already giving him a huge favor.

"No, Jack, it's best if you handle the negotiations yourself. Tom should stop interfering with the cooperation between Jiexun Sports and Junxiao Business Management."

Tom's face turned pale instantly. He and Jack understood Xu Jun's implication and nodded solemnly. "OK, Mr. Xu, I will contact Mr. Lu personally."

Xu Jun stood up, ready to see the guest off. He needed to prepare for the signing of the Hengyuan Plaza contract, as well as various approval documents for such a large group company. Giving Jack 20 minutes was already quite difficult.

"Jack, I have some news for you. We are about to acquire the Hengyuan Plaza project in Shanghai. The signing ceremony will be held in the next couple of days."

Both were shocked. How domineering Junxiao Commercial Management was, managing to acquire two of the best global commercial districts in Shanghai in one fell swoop. Then Xu Jun said, "Next, Junxiao Commercial Management will add at least five new acquisition projects every month. At the same time, we have started looking for prime locations in major cities across the country to build our new generation of super shopping plazas. Each project will be over 300,000 square meters."

Jack's eyes narrowed. This was Xu Jun's temptation, but also a threat. If they cooperated, NK would appear among Junxiao Commercial Management's many good projects; conversely, not only would NK no longer appear in new projects, but old projects would also be gradually phased out. He could do the math himself, or he could take it back to global headquarters and explain it to the senior executives.

In Chen Xiao's office, Gao Yue and Han Xue made an excuse to leave. They could tell that Guo Fu wasn't in a good mood. Knowing that Guo Fu rarely came to Jiangzhou, they gave her and Chen Xiao some space. Guo Fu gave them grateful looks.

Chen Xiao's recent series of work arrangements made her realize that the only thing she could use to impress Chen Xiao in the Chen family was herself, not the prestige bestowed upon her by the Guo family. Her previous unrealistic ideas gradually faded away; it wasn't that she didn't want to compete anymore, but rather that she knew she couldn't win.

Although she didn't know exactly how much Chen Xiao doted on Zhao Xiangjun, she knew that once the halo that the Guo family had bestowed upon her no longer worked on Chen Xiao, she would have no advantage over anyone else in the office.

In terms of youthful beauty, Han Xue is truly fair-skinned, beautiful, and has long legs. Even international supermodels can't match her figure. Then there's Zhang Ziqian, who is practically the pinnacle of the pure and alluring type. Moreover, she spends every day with Chen Xiao. Gao Yue is also the head of a company worth hundreds of billions. The only one present who might not be as good as her is Ma Jing. Although she is beautiful, she is a notch below the others. However, she is also Chen Xiao's assistant who has always been by his side.

The more Guo Fu thought about it, the colder her heart became. She, who had always regarded men as infallible, suddenly lost her composure and became somewhat at a loss.

Zhang Ziqian winked at Ma Jing, and then the two returned to the secretary's office. In Chen Xiao's large office, only Guo Fu and Chen Xiao remained.

The scene fell silent. Chen Xiao looked at her, but Guo Fu's eyes suddenly became evasive. For some reason, she felt that Chen Xiao was terrifying at that moment.

Yes, she, the once arrogant and domineering Miss Guo, was a little scared. Chen Xiao's introduction of her to the people around her shattered all her pride, and at that moment she became a little girl.
