Chen Xiao treated Feng Feifei to a sumptuous dinner at the company. After arriving there, Feng Feifei realized why Chen Xiao didn't want to go to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. In terms of office environment, the two were like the difference between a 7-star hotel and a budget hotel.

Just as Zhang Ziqian had predicted, the two had a great time all afternoon. He even helped Feng Feifei to the restaurant. Chen Xiao's feelings for this elegant female boss were different from others. Their careers started at the same time, and they could be considered to be supporting each other.

Without Chen Xiao, there would be no Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group; similarly, without the latter, Chen Xiao wouldn't be as successful as he is now.

Ma Jing waited until the two of them arrived at the restaurant before tiptoeing over. Feng Feifei waved to her as soon as she saw her, "Ma Jing, come on over quickly!"

She also thought of the time when Dr. Feng's robotics technology company was at its most difficult, the time she, Chen Xiao, and Ma Jing spent together, and the things that happened back then. Apart from the two people in front of her, Xia Yun was probably the only one she could talk to about those times.

Ma Jing called out "President Feng", and then said to Chen Xiao, "President Xu has arrived in Pengcheng today, and the signing ceremony for the acquisition of Wanshangcheng will be held tomorrow."

"Oh—", Chen Xiao didn't know that. "If I had known, I would have let him take a private jet. It's too tiring for someone his age to take a long-distance bus."

After saying that, he turned to Feng Feifei and said, "Feifei, you can use a private jet when you go out in the future. I bought a few second-hand ones and ordered a few new ones this time."

Feng Feifei still can't shake off her preconceived notions. When she hears that he buys airplanes by the plane, she is inevitably shocked, but then she thinks it's normal.

He needs one himself, and the major business units under him should each have one. Now that the company has reached this level of scale, a private jet is a necessary configuration. Since Chen Xiao has bought one, she doesn't need to buy one anymore. There's no need for her to be distant with Chen Xiao anymore, given their relationship.

Knowing that Xu Wu was away on a business trip, and that she hadn't seen Xu Wu for a long time, she wondered what place Xu Wu held in Chen Xiao's heart. The former sales director of the company they had worked with now held a much higher position in the business world than she did.

Chen Xiao and she finalized the project for the computing chip. As the CEO of Junxing Intelligent R&D Center, she went back and immediately began recruiting talent globally, offering high salaries to attract top talent. Chen Xiao instructed her to offer these top talents the highest salaries in the world, even doubling or several times their current salaries. Feng Feifei would handle the specifics herself, while he would only be responsible for the financial aspect. If 500 billion a year was not enough, more could be added.

If this sector can reach the top globally, it will be worth at least trillions of dollars; if it truly becomes number one globally, it will be worth trillions of US dollars. With China's backing and ample funds, Chen Xiao definitely wants to explore this area.

Having informed his family in advance, Chen Xiao planned to have dinner at the company that evening. When he arrived home, Xiang Jun and He Qing were dining. Looking at the two beautiful women, Chen Xiao felt a deep sense of satisfaction. With such a life, what more could he ask for?

Besides Xu Jia, He Qing was the person Chen Xiao had met who shared the most common ground with Xiang Jun. This was probably because of He Qing's intelligence. Almost no one who had been with her had ever spoken ill of her, except for that idiot Li Xiao, of course.

He walked behind Xiangjun and hugged her from behind: "Baby, what did you eat?"

Caught off guard by his sudden attack, Zhao Xiangjun glanced at He Qing, who was smiling faintly across from her, and said angrily, "Chen Xiao, you scared me! I can't eat anymore. You're responsible if the baby gets hungry."

Chen Xiao laughed and pretended to be pitiful. He squatted down, propped himself up on his arms, put his ear to his stomach, and said, "I was wrong. Please forgive me, both of you."

This was the first time He Qing had seen Chen Xiao so mischievous, and she thought he probably only acted this way around Sister Xiangjun. Zhao Xiangjun gently pinched Chen Xiao's ear: "Baby said you should step back."

"As you command, Your Majesty, I thank you for sparing my life."

Zhao Xiangjun snorted, "Go do your thing, you're keeping He Qing and me from having dinner."

Watching Chen Xiao's retreating figure as he headed towards the living room, Zhao Xiangjun chuckled, her face full of happiness. Then she turned to He Qing and said, "Let's eat. I'm a little full after all that commotion."

He Qing was actually too full to eat, but she forced herself to eat with Xiang Jun because she was pregnant and needed to get more nutrition.

"Sister, does the baby in your belly kick you?"

Zhao Xiangjun looked up, then turned and looked towards the living room. "He Qing, have you been led astray by Chen Xiao? Why would you kick someone at a time like this?"

Well, my own lack of intelligence has dragged Chen Xiao down with me; I learned my stupidity from him.

Chen Xiao's office on the 58th floor of Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center.

Zhang Ziqian was reporting to him on some aspects of Junxing Motors. Due to the continued strong sales of the Junxing M7, it has put a lot of pressure on some competing car companies. Recently, various online trolls have flocked to the internet to smear the Junxing M7.

Some even maliciously shouted slogans like "Driving a Junxing car is like walking down the road to the underworld." Junxing cars have truly taken a bite out of many people's market share. In the domestic new energy vehicle market of over 30 units, Junxing's sales are almost neck and neck with HarmonyOS Smart Choice cars. HarmonyOS Smart Choice was already causing them enough trouble, and now another car has entered the luxury segment—it's truly a death sentence for them.

It's important to understand that this market is only so big. Those currently buying luxury new energy vehicles around 30 yuan are basically the target customers of the former BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) brands. It's understandable that HarmonyOS Smart Choice Cars might sweep away a portion of that market, given their large and established fan base. But what is Junxing Motors? It's a car factory that was once on the verge of bankruptcy, but after restructuring, it was reborn.

As a result, various forces began to unite and suppress Junxing Motors, with online trolls from all sides joining the attack. Various self-media outlets fabricated all sorts of jokes to smear the company, which indeed had a significant impact on Junxing Motors.

Many customers who are now buying cars at dealerships are questioning the safety of Junxing Auto's intelligent driving assistance system, saying that they have seen many videos online showing Junxing cars causing accidents after activating autonomous driving, and even battery fires.

Although the store explained that there have been no cases of spontaneous combustion caused by the battery pack in Junxing Motors so far, consumers still have concerns. As the saying goes, it takes only a few words to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them.

Car safety is paramount. This was the requirement Chen Xiao and Xu Wu placed on Xu Gang after acquiring Junxing Auto: to achieve the highest level of both active and passive safety, with redundancy. However, safety is a very abstract concept. What data can prove whether a vehicle is safe or unsafe? Apart from visible aspects like the extensive use of aluminum alloy and hot-formed steel in the body structure, how can the safety of intelligent driving be proven? At least for now, it's very difficult.

"The monthly intelligent driving report released by HarmonyOS Smart Car Selection is quite good. It includes the monthly intelligent driving mileage, the number of times automatic parking was used, and how many accidents AEB helped avoid. Xu Gang should be able to follow up on this. Why didn't he?"

While Junxing Intelligent Driving is not yet on par with HarmonyOS Smart Selection, it is certainly in the top three. Moreover, with continuous and rapid iterations, it is believed that it will soon catch up with the leading companies.

"Xu Gang is a person who focuses on his work, but he is relatively weak in the battle of public opinion. Junxing Auto's KOCs have a low voice on the Internet, so their advantages cannot be spread, and they cannot form a strong counterattack when attacked by online trolls. It seems that Junxing Auto's public relations general manager needs to be replaced."

Furthermore, keep an eye on the Ministry of Justice. File lawsuits against all those who maliciously spread rumors and slander, seeking compensation. We must suppress this group of evil forces.

He had arranged for this to be done when Xiao Yuting was attacked by online trolls last time, but so far the results haven't been very good. Zhang Ziqian said, "I have already arranged for the group's legal department to help follow up. There are just too many online trolls, and the legal department is a bit overwhelmed."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "There's no need to defend Xu Gang. He has strengths, which I admire. But he also has weaknesses and shortcomings, which we will try to help him overcome."

Zhang Ziqian nodded. "Then I'll make the arrangements. Junxing Auto's legal team will continue to expand, and the public relations manager will have a headhunting firm look for candidates."

Chen Xiao stood up and paced back and forth in his office, as if deep in thought. Zhang Ziqian didn't dare interrupt him, but simply refilled his cup with a freshly brewed cup of Dongding Oolong tea.

"Ziqian, I'd like to have Yuting work in the public relations department at Junxing Motors. What do you think?"

"Ask me?" Zhang Ziqian was stunned. This was the first time Chen Xiao had consulted her when making a decision. She thought for a moment and roughly understood what Chen Xiao meant. As one of the most important systems in the future of Junxiao Group, Chen Xiao would eventually have to place his own people in Junxing Auto. The reason he arranged for Xiao Yuting to join the public relations department was because she was originally related to automobiles and often helped Junxing Auto on the internet. Almost all of her fans were car enthusiasts.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is Chen Xiao's woman, and he wants to cultivate her and put her in the public relations department. If she doesn't do well, it won't affect the car's product competitiveness. At most, there will be some problems in publicity and public opinion, but these are easy to adjust.

"I think we could let Yuting give it a try, but that would mean she can't continue her modeling career, which is a bit of a shame—"

What's a pity is that she stepped down at the height of her career, becoming the pinnacle of the car model industry. This will be the biggest decision Xiao Yuting has ever made in her career.

"I'll text Yuting and ask her to come back so I can have a good talk with her." Chen Xiao respects her career path, and if she really doesn't want to, he won't force her; he'll let her do what she likes.

"She's at the Shenzhen Auto Show these days, so she can come back on Mr. Xu's private jet."

In Shenzhen's Wanshang Mall, Xiao Yuting and Zhang Ruier were shopping while wearing masks. Although their facial features were obscured, their tall and perfect figures still made them the most eye-catching in the mall, which was full of beautiful women. Many men who thought they were good enough came over to chat them up, but they were all driven away by the two women's indifference.

“Rui’er, you shouldn’t have come to the mall at this time. There are too many people. This isn’t shopping; it’s attracting attention.”

"Sigh, being a car model is tough. You're busy all year round and can only get a break after get off work."

If others heard this, they would definitely think she was in Versailles. Many models are troubled by not having any appointments. Xiao Yuting felt the same way. Her biggest worry was not having time to meet with Chen Xiao.

Just then, Xiao Yuting's phone received a message. Upon opening it, her worries vanished, and she instantly radiated happiness. "I don't need to ask; I know whose message it is."

Xiao Yuting rolled her eyes at her. "Chen Xiao said I should go back with President Xu this time."

"Ah—President Xu, is that the CEO of Junxiao Group, President Xu?" Zhang Ruier was a little scared. After all, he was the CEO who managed trillions of yuan in net assets. She had never seen such a person on TV before. Now, she glanced at Xiao Yuting—it seemed that Yuting could call her "sister" from now on.

Ever since learning Chen Xiao's identity, Zhang Ruier felt that all the beautiful women under Junxiao Group should be Chen Xiao's women, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Yes, he said he'll send a private jet to pick me up tomorrow."

Zhang Ruier immediately stopped in her tracks, her mouth agape in an "O" shape. "No way, such high-class service, a private jet to pick you up?"

"I was picking up President Xu, I was just passing by," she said, but she knew in her heart that even if she were alone, Chen Xiao would probably send a private jet to pick her up. That guy was a scumbag, but he was also genuinely kind.

The two strolled around, not really interested in buying anything, when suddenly Zhang Ruier pointed ahead and said, "Why do I feel like that person who just walked by upstairs was President Xu?"

"President Xu? You're overthinking it. She's currently inspecting the supply chain in Guangdong Province. I heard that Junxing Auto is about to accelerate its operations. As the saying goes, 'an army marches on its stomach,' she needs to inspect the supply chain first before she can work with President Xu Gang to develop the next phase of the plan."

Zhang Ruier rolled her eyes. There were too many CEOs with the surname Xu in Junxiao Group, such as Xu Wu, Xu Jun, and Xu Gang, and even more regional general managers. "I'm talking about Chairman Xu Jun."

Xiao Yuting asked in surprise, "You must be mistaken. How could he be here?"

Just then, Zhang Ruier's phone suddenly pushed a news notification. She glanced at it unconsciously and immediately let out a scream.

"What happened?" Xiao Yuting asked.

"Look—", Zhang Ruier handed her her phone, and Xiao Yuting leaned closer to see the headline of the financial news with her:

Junxiao Commercial Management invests another 450 billion yuan to acquire Pengcheng Wanshangcheng, bringing the total scale of commercial real estate mergers and acquisitions to 1400 billion yuan within a week and exceeding 3000 billion yuan within six months.

The series of numbers was terrifying; they continued reading down to the subheading:

"Wanshang Group withdraws from core assets in Shenzhen, Junxiao's nationwide commercial empire finally takes shape."

The following report:

This acquisition—a full acquisition of 45 billion yuan, including Wanshangcheng's liabilities—is the top shopping center in Pengcheng and ranks among the top 10 nationwide. Last year, it generated 129 billion yuan in revenue with a 100% occupancy rate.
Payment method – 100% cash payment (Junxiao Commercial Management Group's cash reserves are truly astonishing.)
Wanshangcheng fills the gap in high-end commerce in Shenzhen. It is understood that after the acquisition, it will be renamed Junxiaocheng. Together with Hengyuan Plaza, Huijin Plaza and the 16 stores of the former Ganglong International that were previously acquired in Shanghai, there are now a total of 19 Junxiaocheng stores nationwide. As a sub-brand of Junxiao Commercial Management, Junxiaocheng's annual revenue is expected to reach 1500 billion yuan.

Zhang Ruier sighed, no wonder the stock prices of several local real estate companies in Shenzhen (which have commercial real estate subsidiaries) fell by more than 5% during the afternoon session.

The report concluded by quoting an analyst: "The commercial real estate market has entered a phase of 'oligopoly competition and cooperation,' further squeezing the survival space for small and medium-sized developers in the region."

Xiao Yuting smiled. Another victory. Her man's business empire was growing ever larger. Outside, it was all making headlines, like some unprecedented event. But not only Chen Xiao, but even Xu Wu didn't attend the signing ceremony. Perhaps what others saw as the stars and the sea was just a small ditch in Chen Xiao's eyes. Xiao Yuting thought that if she gave him some time, he might just dominate the galaxy.

Seeing this news, Zhang Ruier must have seen Xu Jun just now. The two were strolling on the first floor when they suddenly saw a showroom for Shanyun Auto and a showroom for Junxing Auto in front of them.

Both car companies in Jiangzhou are quite willing to invest in store expansion, opening stores in such expensive locations. Especially Shanyun Auto, despite losing so much money, it spares no effort in building a first-tier image. Because of this, consumers still recognize Shanyun Auto as a luxury brand among new energy vehicles.

The two of them wanted to go inside and take a look, but there were too many people. Zhang Ruier pouted and said, "You're right, coming to the mall at this time is just to count heads. There are people everywhere."

Xiao Yuting smiled slightly, "Isn't it good to have more people? Business is easier when there are more people."

"Oh—you changed your tune pretty quickly, huh? Now that this place is yours, you want as many people as possible, right?"

Hearing the words "your house," Xiao Yuting's lips curled into a smile; she was indeed quite proud. However, she immediately added, "Don't forget, he also bought you a house in Jiangzhou."

Uh—Zhang Ruier fell silent, her mind filled with endless daydreams.

"Let's go, Yuting, let's have dinner at the hotel. There are too many people here. More than a dozen people have already come to add us as WeChat friends."

The two walked out of the shopping mall, as it was very close to their hotel, just a few steps away, and they decided to take a stroll.

"Hey, Yuting, this new energy vehicle store is pretty funny. Why did they open it in such an out-of-the-way location?"

As car models, they basically know every car brand. When Xiao Yuting stopped and saw the store in front of her, she saw Ruishi Auto, a high-end brand under Huadi. Their MVP sells very well, which is the source of the brand's courage to create a luxury brand.

However, opening a store here doesn't quite fit the image of a luxury brand. Also, why open a store in such a corner instead of in the main business district? What's the point of opening a store here? Is it to perfectly avoid consumers with purchasing power?
"Look up there—" Zhang Ruier pointed to the top of the store. Xiao Yuting looked in the direction she pointed and saw a huge advertising space above the store that was clearly an advertisement for Junxing M7. She almost burst out laughing. This was too funny. Was Junxing Motors being arrogant and bullying people, or was Ruishi Motors being cowardly? Such a good advertising space above their heads was taken by a competitor.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Since the two had nothing else to do, they went into the store to browse. The Ruishi Auto store was located here, so the customer traffic couldn't be high. In Wanshang Mall, whether it was Shanyun Auto or Junxing Auto, the stores were always bustling with people, but here the sales staff were all standing and chatting.

The store management seemed a bit weak, that was Xiao Yuting's first impression. Upon entering the store, the salesperson, seeing two beautiful women, asked, "Are you two looking at cars? Which of you is interested in buying one soon?"

Xiao Yuting pointed at Zhang Ruier, "Her."

Zhang Ruier was about to come in, and naturally, she would play the role of the car buyer. She was quite the actress, getting into character in a second, "I'm here to look at SUVs."

The R&D brand offers two SUV models: the R&D N7 and the R&D N9. The N7 is positioned as a luxury mid-to-large SUV, while the N9 is positioned as a luxury flagship SUV. The flagship SUV is over 5.2 meters long, making it a massive vehicle.

The salesperson asked her what kind of car she used to drive, and Zhang Ruier told them it was a BMW X5. Upon hearing this, the salesperson thought, "Wow, a BBA customer, she has purchasing power." Then they enthusiastically promoted the Ruishi N9. Zhang Ruier shook her head: "This car is too long. It's not easy for a girl like me to drive."

"It's alright, ma'am. Our vehicle has rear-wheel steering, and the turning radius is less than 5 meters. We can also make a U-turn."

She introduced a whole bunch of things, and Zhang Ruier replied directly, "These sound impressive, but I don't usually need them. Who makes a U-turn on the spot for no reason? It's basically unnecessary in that kind of situation. And wouldn't that wear out the tires?"

Uh—her question was so pointed that the salesperson was momentarily speechless.

Zhang Ruier then asked if it had intelligent driver assistance features and how well it performed. The other party claimed that theirs was Thor's Eye, one of the most powerful intelligent driver assistance systems on the market.

"The strongest? Then how does its intelligent driving performance compare to the currently best-selling Buick Regal M7?"

The salesperson laughed and said, "They're not even in the same league. Their cars are all flashy and fancy. Many consumers don't know much about cars and only buy them because of their appearance. Their cars only have driver assistance features, and they're at least a generation behind ours."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuting immediately became unhappy and, with the same intensity she displayed when battling online trolls, asked, "You say the Junxing M7 is no good in this way or that way, so why is it selling like hotcakes in the 30 yuan price range, and still in short supply? Meanwhile, your Ruishi N7 seems to only sell a few hundred units a month, and the price is even lower. The Junxing M7 doesn't have any discounts right now, but yours starts with discounts of 5 yuan."

The salesperson looked a little grim after being rebuked. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and swiped around a bit. "Take a look. These are all the recent reports that have surfaced online. The Junxing M7's battery spontaneously combusted, there were problems with the intelligent driver assistance system, and the AEB braking system had issues. There have been so many problems."

Seeing these familiar videos, Xiao Yuting's face turned ugly. She knew that many of them were fake. It was one thing for online trolls and haters to post them, but why were competitors using them to discredit the Junxing M7? (End of Chapter)
