Chapter 603 Don't Learn from Me

The owner of Zichen Palace was taken aback, then replied, "He's back, but he didn't come to work today."

Chen Xiao nodded. "Yeah, you must be tired after being out playing for so long, you need to rest. You're a good person, and you should still make money in business, but don't mistreat your employees."

"Yes, yes—" The boss didn't dare to look Chen Xiao in the eye. Chen Xiao thought he was afraid of him and didn't take it to heart. He then led Xiao Yuting downstairs.

Normally, Chen Xiao would rest at Xiao Yuting's place, but today's situation is special. He's out dealing with this kind of thing, and Xiangjun would definitely be worried if he didn't see someone from his own side. So no matter what, he must return to Xishan Linyu tonight and rest with Xiangjun.

At the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, Xiao Yulong and Lin Hao arrived at the entrance in a Mercedes-Benz GLS. The two waited in the lobby for a bodyguard to bring them a room key; it was a business suite.

Lin Hao asked curiously, "Such a high-end hotel, you don't need an ID card to check in?"

Xiao Yulong couldn't answer him either. As he led him to the room, he pondered the matter of meeting his sister and brother-in-law the next day.

“Yulong, who do you think your brother-in-law is? I feel that Wang Jian and Qin Jun know him. The fact that they were bullied by him and didn’t dare to say a harsh word means that your brother-in-law’s status is above theirs. I’ve been thinking about it, but how could someone so young have a status above theirs?”

"Don't think too much about it. You'll know when you see my sister tomorrow. Go to sleep early, I still feel sore all over after those bastards kicked me a few times."

Lin Hao almost forgot about the tea. "Using urine to urinate at night is so pleasurable that I completely forgot about being beaten up."

"Yulong, why don't you stay too? We can keep each other company."

Xiao Yulong pondered for a while but did not answer.

“Your sister is in a high position now, and she has such a powerful brother-in-law. It would be a waste for you not to develop your career here.”

"Go to sleep, we'll talk about it tomorrow—" Xiao Yulong turned and went back to his room, his clothes a mess, and quickly washed up and went to sleep.

Lin Hao's suggestion was something he had considered. However, he had a girlfriend back in his hometown who worked in a local government institution, so she definitely couldn't come with him. If he came to Jiangzhou, she would have to leave him.

One voice in my heart told me, "A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown," while another voice told me that Qianqian was a treasure bestowed upon me by God, and once lost, she could never be found again.

The next day, the two went to Xiao Yuting's office together. As they entered the Junxiao Lakeside CBD center, Lin Hao looked at the ultra-high-end office building and sighed, "I wish I could work here—"

Xiao Yulong smiled and entered the elevator with him: "Your early sales experience was quite good for developing your skills."

Upon arriving at the front desk, Xiao Yulong stepped forward and announced that he was looking for Xiao Yuting, the General Manager. The receptionist, seemingly having been instructed beforehand, smiled politely and asked, "Are you Xiao Yulong, General Manager Long?"

Xiao Yulong laughed and said, "I can't be called any kind of general manager. I am indeed Xiao Yulong."

As the receptionist led them inside, she smiled and said, "How could our CEO Yu Ting's younger brother not deserve the title of 'CEO'?"

It was clear from their expressions that these people respected his sister deeply, not just because of the difference in their positions, but out of genuine respect. Xiao Yulong nodded secretly, knowing that his sister was kind and gentle, and treated her employees exceptionally well.

In the small office outside Xiao Yuting's office sat her assistant. Seeing Xiao Yulong and his companion arrive, she stood up with a smile and said, "Good morning, Mr. Long! Mr. Xiao is already waiting inside."

Following his assistant into the office, Lin Hao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The office was incredibly luxurious, a full 150 square meters, furnished entirely with high-end mahogany furniture. Xiao Yuting sat high in her executive chair, reviewing documents. "Isn't this even more impressive than those female CEOs on TV?" Lin Hao thought to himself.

"Sit down—" Xiao Yuting raised her head slightly, pointed to the guest sofa and asked them to sit down first. She had two more documents to read before coming over.

The assistant served Lin Hao a cup of "Silver Needle" white tea. Lin Hao took a sip and sighed inwardly, "They really know how to enjoy life." He wondered when he would ever be able to afford such a luxurious office.

Although he knew his sister was a senior executive at Junxing Auto, it was only when he came to this office that he could feel how prestigious the position was. Xiao Yulong silently surveyed the layout of the entire office and looked at his sister working at her desk. Since she started working here, his sister's temperament seemed to have changed. She seemed to have become more composed. He wondered if it was related to her work or her husband.

A few minutes later, Xiao Yuting finished her work and stood up from her office chair. She wore a beige top and a black OL skirt, and her pair of incredibly long, white legs were dazzling. Lin Hao didn't dare to look at her for long; these legs belonged to that man named Chen Xiao.

"Lin Hao, I've already had HR arrange your job. Start by working as an assistant general manager at a store and learning the ropes."

Deputy General Manager? Lin Hao was stunned; this wasn't what he had expected.
"What, you think the position is too low?" Xiao Yuting looked at him, and Lin Hao suddenly felt immense pressure.
"No, no, I originally thought I would start as a car salesman."

He nodded slightly. "You have experience from car sales back in your hometown, so I've made an exception for you. You'll learn from the general manager. Let me be clear: if you're not up to the task, I won't force you to do it."

Lin Hao understood Xiao Yuting's meaning: she had given him a chance, but if he couldn't seize it, she wouldn't help him anymore. As a neighbor, she had done more than enough.

To be honest, he chose to become a car salesman because Xiao Yuting's previous job was related to automobiles. He wanted to be closer to his goddess in everything he did, and thus caught the wave of the new energy vehicle boom. Back in his hometown, he sold HarmonyOS smart cars, earning a decent income each month. Now, because of his several years of sales experience, Xiao Yuting promoted him to deputy general manager of a directly operated store. For him, this was a leap in career advancement.

Xiao Yuting gave him a few instructions, then called over the HR manager and asked her to take Lin Hao to make arrangements.

For the head of HR at a car company to directly assign someone to the position of deputy general manager of a store is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—a huge waste of talent. But there's nothing that can be done; Ms. Xiao's rank is too high, and she can't just ask her subordinates in HR to make the assignment.

After Lin Hao left, Xiao Yuting turned to Xiao Yulong: "Yulong, you should also stay in Jiangzhou to develop your career, preferably in the automotive industry. If you don't want to, other industries are fine too, but don't stay in your hometown. You need to gain experience in a large company."

Xiao Yulong hesitated slightly, but Xiao Yuting seemed to know what he was thinking and said calmly, "A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. If she truly likes you, she won't try to tie your hands and feet, but will support your career."

However, you don't need to worry. A man's career is fundamental. If you succeed, even if you're thousands of miles apart, she'll come to find you. Conversely, even if you're with her every day, if you achieve nothing in the end, she'll still look down on you.

Xiao Yulong remained silent, understanding the reasoning behind everything, but he still hesitated when faced with a choice.

“Yulong, you are the only boy in the family. The Xiao family will still have to rely on you in the future. If you work hard, your sister will do her best to support you. But if you don’t make any progress, I will not take care of you in the future.”

"Alright, your brother-in-law said he'd take you to his place for a meal when you get here. It's almost time, let's go upstairs."

Only then did Xiao Yulong remember to ask, "Sister, is my brother-in-law also in the company?"

As Xiao Yuting stood up, she hummed in agreement: "He's the big boss—"

With a surprised look, Xiao Yulong exclaimed, "My brother-in-law is already the big boss of Junxing Motors at such a young age? No wonder you're a vice president too."

"No, he's not the big boss of Junxing Motors—"

Xiao Yulong was confused. "No? How can we be in the same company? You yourself said you're the big boss."

"He's the big boss of Junxiao Group—" Xiao Yuting said before leaving, and it exploded in Xiao Yulong's mind.

My brother-in-law is the boss of Junxiao Group? Is he the super-rich man with a net worth of over one trillion that people are talking about online? He's so young and so handsome?
No wonder Wang Jian and Qin Jun didn't dare utter a single word in front of him. Compared to the boss of Junxiao Group, their status was truly insignificant.

Upon reaching the 58th floor, Xiao Yulong lamented that his eyes weren't big enough to take it all in. He could boast about the office's extravagance for a lifetime, even if he only remembered one or two details.

"See? One day, even if you have only one percent of your brother-in-law's qualities, I guarantee that not only will Qianqian follow you wholeheartedly, but she will also keep improving herself, for fear that you will get tired of her."

"Did you know that your brother-in-law's office alone cost nearly 2 million yuan—" she seemed to be intentionally provoking Xiao Yulong.

It was indeed effective; Xiao Yulong's breathing quickened. When he arrived at Chen Xiao's office, he saw his brother-in-law reclining on a large Hermes sofa, sipping tea. Seeing the two enter, he greeted them, "Yuting, Yulong, come and sit down—"

Then, pointing to Zhang Ziqian, he said, "This is Ziqian. You can call her 'sister' when you see her from now on."

Xiao Yulong looked at Zhang Ziqian and guessed she wasn't even as old as him, but so what? Chen Xiao probably looked about the same age as him, and he still had to call her brother-in-law.

"Sister Ziqian——"

Ma Jing wasn't there today; she went to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. Every Tuesday, clients come over to sign orders, and she has to handle that and process the bonus withdrawal.

When Ma Jing left today, she specifically asked if Chen Xiao wanted to give Qin Yun's business some more support. If she hadn't asked, Chen Xiao would have almost forgotten about Qin Yun's matter. It was just a small favor; he figured he should help if he could.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly as he looked at the somewhat reserved Xiao Yulong.

"Your sister has already told me about your situation—"

"I know she wants you to come to Jiangzhou, to work at a company under the Junxiao Group, but I suggest you don't force yourself—"

Xiao Yulong glanced at it and was surprised that his brother-in-law was quite understanding.

"Since you've come all the way to Jiangzhou, I've prepared a gift for you."

"Thank you, brother-in-law—"

Zhang Ziqian refilled Chen Xiao's teacup while glancing at Xiao Yulong with a half-smile.

“I’ve asked Ziqian to prepare a personal development fund of 10 billion yuan for you—” Ah— Xiao Yulong took a deep breath. His family was well-off, and his family could afford to give him a few million or eight million yuan, but the amount he would personally receive would not exceed 100 million yuan.

His allowance usually comes mostly from his older sister. In recent years, Xiao Yuting's career has developed rapidly, and she has earned some money. Occasionally, she will give him tens of thousands of yuan.

Now my brother-in-law has given me 10 billion yuan. As expected of the big boss of Junxiao Group, he's so generous. He's the best brother-in-law in the world.

"Thank you, brother-in-law! Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "I haven't finished speaking yet. There are rules for receiving this fund."

Suddenly, Xiao Yulong remembered that his brother-in-law always liked to speak in a roundabout way, and he had already given Xu Guang and the others quite a hard time last night.

"With this 10 billion yuan fund, you can withdraw the corresponding amount for each stage you complete. For example, in the first stage, if you come to Jiangzhou to work at Junxing Motors, you can withdraw 100 million yuan."

Xiao Yulong was dumbfounded. Didn't you say you wouldn't try to persuade me? What are you doing now? Threatening or bribing me?
"In the second stage, you can withdraw 500 million yuan when you become a department head at Junxing Auto; in the third stage, you can withdraw 1000 million yuan when you become a department manager. After that, you can withdraw the corresponding amount for each promotion."

Isn't this just trying to seduce me with 10 billion? Xiao Yulong thought silently, wondering if he should shout out the slogan: "Wealth and honor cannot corrupt."

As if he could read minds, Chen Xiao looked at him and said, "Don't think that your brother-in-law is just making empty promises. Actually, he doesn't want to give you this 10 billion. Let me tell you, this 10 billion is yours whether you come or not."

What do you mean? Xiao Yulong didn't understand. Your rules are so clear: if I don't come to Jiangzhou, I won't get a single penny.

"I'm telling the truth. Even if you don't come, you can still withdraw this money."

Xiao Yulong looked at him with puzzlement. This was great! He had 10 billion yuan and was already financially independent. Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel the world with Qianqian?

"But it will be 50 years from now—"

Holy crap, how could I believe him? In 50 years, he might be buried himself. Even if he's still alive, he'll be over 70. Where will he spend 10 billion? He'll have basically lost all the joy in life.

"So, I'm saying this money is still yours. You can leave it to your son and grandson. Yulong, your brother-in-law is good to you, isn't he? He gives you money and doesn't even encourage you to come to Jiangzhou. I'll also persuade your sister not to pressure you."

Xiao Yulong was almost in tears, feeling like he was being played to death. Wasn't this pushing him to the limit? 10 billion yuan was sitting there untouchable. Wasn't this like having Qianqian lying naked in front of you, but being told that your body had been anesthetized and it would take 50 years to recover? What was the point of playing with her then?

"Brother-in-law, I'm coming to Jiangzhou. No need for your sister to persuade me; I'll go back and pack my things and come right away. I'll go back and convince my whole family, including my girlfriend's family—"

Chen Xiao said "Oh," and added, "It's okay, I really won't force you."

Xiao Yulong quickly replied, "I'm not forcing you, brother-in-law. I think my sister is right. A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. I want to focus on my career and learn from my brother-in-law."

"Forget it, don't follow my example. If you go astray, your sister will blame me—"

I turned to look at my sister, not understanding what she meant. My brother-in-law is so amazing, why won't he let me learn from him?

Zhang Ziqian checked the time. "Boss, shall I go arrange lunch?"

"Go ahead, they happen to have French blue lobsters today, Yulong is in for a treat!"

Lunch was Western food: bluefin tuna (fatty), French blue lobster, and Japanese Wagyu beef. Xiao Yulong almost bit his tongue while eating.

Xiao Yuting glared at him, "Have some self-respect, okay? How old are you?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "If you get that 10 billion, you can eat like this every day. Otherwise, you'll just be watching us eat every day."

In the afternoon, after the work was arranged, Lin Hao met with Xiao Yulong again.

"Yulong, this place is really great. Why don't you stay here and keep each other company, fighting side by side?"

Without a second thought, Xiao Yulong nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and pack up, and come over the next day."

Lin Hao was stunned. He was just joking and didn't expect Xiao Yulong to agree. Lin Hao knew everything about his relationship with Qianqian. He never expected this—

"Yulong, you sacrificed so much for me, I'm so touched—"

Xiao Yulong didn't hear what he was saying at all. All he could think about was how to work hard to reach the goal his brother-in-law had set for him as soon as possible and gradually get that 10 billion yuan.

"Let's go, Lin Hao, Jiangzhou will be where our happy life begins."

"Holy crap!" Lin Hao was startled. Xiao Yulong gave up Qianqian for me, and now he wants to start a happy life with me again? What? He brought me to Jiangzhou to find a job, could it be that he's after my beauty?

On the way back, Lin Hao didn't dare to speak to Xiao Yulong, and he was struggling internally.

FlashCloud Automotive announces privatization plan, intending to acquire all outstanding shares at a premium and delist.

[Date] – FlashCloud Automotive (Stock Code: XXXXXX), a leading new energy vehicle manufacturer in China, announced today that its board of directors has received a privatization offer from its controlling shareholder, FlashCloud Technology Group, in conjunction with XX Capital. The proposal suggests acquiring all outstanding shares at RMB XX per share (a 30% premium over the price before trading was suspended), and the company will be delisted upon completion of the transaction.

When Chen Xiao heard Zhang Ziqian report this to him, he was stunned. Had the Jin family father and son grown too powerful? Where did they get such a large sum of money? They were so poor before that they had to beg for alms everywhere.

He took the documents Zhang Ziqian handed him:

The company stated that privatization would help it "get rid of the pressure of short-term market fluctuations and focus on long-term technology research and development," and mentioned that "strategic transformation requires greater decision-making flexibility."

Independent financial advisor XX Securities will issue a fairness report within 20 days. If approved by more than 75% of independent shareholders and with dissenting shares below 10%, delisting is expected to be completed in Q4.

Online comments on this matter are divided:
"The premium is reasonable; the current share price is severely undervalued. FlashCloud's intelligent driving technology is worth at least 200 billion yuan, while the privatization price only reflects 30 billion yuan." — XX Fund Analyst

Chen Xiao shook his head. This is an expert? They don't even use FlashCloud's intelligent driving technology anymore; they've switched to Junxing's intelligent driving system now. What's his worth?
"Delisting is a wise move. The new energy vehicle sector requires continuous cash burn, and quarterly financial reports from listed companies actually restrict their actions." — Renowned automotive blogger @ElectricFuture
"Privatization has always been a double-edged sword for capital. For FlashCloud, delisting may be the beginning of a rebirth, but for minority shareholders, it may be the last chance to cash out."

Chen Xiao handed the tablet back to Zhang Ziqian. It's not surprising that an ambitious capital giant has entered the market. The new energy vehicle market is huge, and powerful giants naturally want to get a share of the pie.

After Flashcloud Autos partnered with Junxing Intelligent's R&D center for its intelligent driving assistance system and intelligent cockpit, sales have improved, and it will soon be able to overcome its difficulties. It's unclear why the Jin family agreed; the price offered was simply too tempting for them to refuse.

He didn't even consider asking Jin Fu; those weren't worth his attention. Xu Gang and his group might be more suitable. He was simply curious: what other capital could readily pull out tens of billions, nearly 200 million, to enter this market? Their style seemed similar to his own.

"Ziqian, let's go for a walk. Doesn't the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel have a flagship store for Shanyun Motors? Let's go take a look."

When Chen Xiao acquired this hotel, he said he wanted to turn it into Junxing Auto, but later he saw that the Jin family was quite pitiful, and he didn't need such a sales outlet, so he didn't touch it.

Junxing Auto is about to build a super authorized service center, which will not only include the Junxing Grand Hotel, but also an entertainment complex. Junxing Auto aims to offer not only a luxury brand, luxurious quality, and top-notch technology, but also luxurious service.

"Shanyun Auto's business has been gradually improving lately. Before, when I came here, there were hardly any people in the store. Today, even though it's not the weekend, there are still so many customers."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly. Flash Cloud Auto's quality and design were already top-notch in the industry. Its previous shortcoming was insufficient intelligence. Now that this weakness has been addressed, its business is naturally getting better and better.

The last time I came here, I was with Bai Lu, and we ran into Jin Wuxian and Lin Ya.

“Hey, isn’t that Qiu Qiaoqiao?” Zhang Ziqian pointed to a woman who had just gotten out of the driver’s seat of a Flash Cloud S8.

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw that it was none other than Qiu Qiaoqiao. Such a beautiful girl was hard to find anywhere in the world, and she also possessed an outstanding temperament. Qiu Qiaoqiao also saw the two of them, nodded slightly, and then walked over.

"Mr. Chen, Ziqian."

"It's such a coincidence that I always run into you every time I go out—" Chen Xiao couldn't help but think that fate was a mysterious thing.

"Yes, Mr. Chen, I really appreciate your care in South Korea last time, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

Zhang Ziqian said from the side, "That's true. You know, if you were really invited to dinner by Zheng Yishan, you might encounter other dangers."

Qiu Qiaoqiao asked in confusion, "Is there anything more dangerous than being kidnapped by him?"

That night, Zheng Yishan's car was hit, and one of his distinguished guests fell into the sea and drowned.

Her expression changed, "So dangerous—" she looked very scared.

Chen Xiao felt a little strange. She seemed very brave, so how could she be scared by something like this? This was probably just the art of girls' conversation; they all knew how to pretend.

"You don't know, Zheng Yishan thought that President Chen was the one who harmed him, and he even sent people to follow President Chen."
