Chen Xiao turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing next to him.

"Qin Yun, how did you sneak in?"

Qin Yun's face immediately darkened. She had come to greet him happily, but his first words had broken her composure.

"What do you mean by 'sneaking in'? I came in honorably."

Seeing her displeasure, Chen Xiao laughed instead, "This banquet is a misnomer. It was supposed to be for tech elites and celebrities, but you're the only exception."

"Chen Xiao—"

"What?" Chen Xiao asked, looking at her gritting her teeth. He suddenly found it quite amusing to tease her.

I really want to bite you—

He chuckled and said, "Don't say that, it'll easily make me misunderstand." After saying that, he noticed that Qin Yun looked confused, probably not knowing what she might misunderstand.

Never mind, never mind, we can't set a bad example for the children. Let's ask Qin Yun how she got in.

"That's all thanks to you."

Only after listening to her explanation did I realize that I had recently introduced her to several business deals. Those who came to Chen Xiao to sign contracts were all people with assets of over 100 million yuan, and they were all key invitees to tonight's banquet. Qin Yun wanted to come in, broaden her horizons, and meet some big shots, which would help the company expand its business in the future. Therefore, she decided to give it a try and found a company to help with the introduction.

The result was predictable: they agreed without hesitation. Just kidding, they were someone President Chen had taken care of. So what if the scale was small? As long as President Chen was there, it would take off sooner or later.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao touched his nose, realizing that the root of the problem lay with himself.

"So, have you discussed business?"

Shaking her head, Qin Yun sighed dejectedly, "A small company with no strength, who would want to work there? So, you say it's good to be in a corner, but I don't know what's so good about it."

The same scenery can evoke different reactions in different people. The same myriad lights in the homes, Chen Xiao sees as a stolen moment of leisure, while Qin Yun sees only endless desolation.

"Keep up the good work, I believe in you!"

Qin Yun looked at him, her eyes suddenly softening. "Chen Xiao, thank you! Everyone else was pessimistic about me, but you were the only one who not only didn't look down on me, but also gave me support when I needed it most. The 200 million yuan order you sent was truly a godsend; you gave me the motivation and hope to persevere."

"Stop, stop getting sentimental. If you keep going, you'll have no way to repay me except by offering yourself to me—"

"You—you're so annoying, hmph!" Qin Yun slapped him angrily. Although they hadn't met many times, she felt very familiar and relaxed with Chen Xiao.

"You're such a mood killer! I was just getting into the mood."

Chen Xiao laughed and raised his glass to clink with hers. "You also gave me 20 yuan, you haven't treated me unfairly."

Qin Yun shook her head. "If you give the order to another company, they might be willing to give you more, since this is an order you got by chance. I can't give you that much right now because I need funds for development. To grow bigger and stronger, I need to bring in senior talent, invest in research and development, and purchase equipment."

Chen Xiao, I remember all the help you've given me. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'll do everything in my power to build the company up, and then I'll make sure you're financially independent, so you won't have to run around doing business anymore. I'll support you for the rest of your life.

"Support me for life?" Chen Xiao touched his handsome face and laughed, "Qin Yun, if you say that, I suspect you're lusting after my body—"

"Pah—you look so frail, who would want you? I like strong, masculine men."

I glanced into the venue and saw that quite a few more people had arrived. I also spotted a few beautiful women, probably car models or celebrities, but they were too far away to see their faces clearly.

"Isn't everything you're saying based on me?"

Qin Yun chuckled, "Chen Xiao, don't be ridiculous. Where are you being masculine or strong?"

Chen Xiao thought about it and realized there was no way to prove it. "Maybe later. I'll find an opportunity to prove it to you later."

Seeing his serious expression, Qin Yun thought he was teasing her and laughed, "Okay, I'll wait. Oh, a few more big shots have arrived over there. I'll go over and make contact to see if anyone can take pity on this little lady and give her some orders."

“You’re all by yourself. We’ve given you a 200 million yuan order. Can you finish it? Don’t fail to deliver on time.”

Qin Yun, who had only taken a few steps, turned back and smiled sweetly, "Do I look like a fool to you?"

Chen Xiao nodded, which immediately angered Qin Yun, who said, "You're the stupid one—I've taken on so many orders, do you think I don't know how to increase manpower? What's wrong with your brain? How do you even do business?"

Oh, she's added someone. This girl's got ambition. What did she just say she was doing? Building a multimodal large model? Trying to surpass GPT-S?

This young girl, who can't even solve her basic needs for food and clothing, has quite a big ambition. If she really succeeds one day, Jiangzhou will truly become a world-renowned city of science and technology.

Here you'll find the Junxing Intelligent R&D Center; once they develop advanced computing chips, that alone could generate trillions of yuan in revenue. Also located here are Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, the world-class Junxiao University, and the behemoth Junxiao Group.

Good heavens! Jiangzhou is really going to take things too far! What if it becomes a municipality one day?

Watching Qin Yun walk back and forth in the crowd, occasionally chatting with people, it was truly difficult for a girl to do sales. Thinking back to Feng Feifei, if it weren't for the system's support, which made her choose to stay and help him...

If it weren't for Bai Lu and Li Guoqiang's support, Feng Feifei would probably be in the same predicament as Qin Yun now, having to beg for help everywhere and endure rejection after rejection.

Just then, a tall girl walked towards them. Chen Xiao initially thought she was looking for him, but it turned out she was just there because of his good spot with the best night view. The girl smiled sweetly at him, revealing two dimples. She was very sweet and cute, and with her perfect proportions, Chen Xiao guessed she was a car model.

Visually, her bust is estimated at 58cm and her hips at least 90cm, resulting in a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.64. When she turns around, her dynamic tension is fully displayed. Her skin is a "satin-like cool white" with a "mother-of-pearl iridescence" under LED lights. There is no pigmentation on her knees and elbows, making her look like she has been "AI-rendered skin."

A true depiction of fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs. Perhaps because Chen Xiao was staring at her intently, the car model turned around and smiled at him again. Such a cheerful girl.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Xie Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiaoxiao—"

Chen Xiao's face darkened. If he hadn't been a stranger, he would have thought the other person was calling him by his nickname. His father, Chen Tao, often called him Xiao Xiao, and it was only after many protests that he stopped calling him that.

"I'll call you Xie Xiaoxiao then!"

Xiaoxiao carefully sized him up. Normally people would just call him Xiaoxiao, so why did he use his surname? This guy was strange. At the same time, she realized he was quite handsome—the kind of refined, scholarly handsome.

But looking at Chen Xiao's appearance, he was definitely not the type to be strong; only his women knew how formidable he was. Therefore, both Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Yun thought Chen Xiao was a frail and weak person.

“Okay, do as you please—” Xie Xiaoxiao had a good personality. She smiled and said to Chen Xiao, then turned to look down at the sky. “Jiangzhou’s night is so beautiful!”

"Wow—is that the Junxiao Lakeside CBD center?"

There was no one else around. At that moment, Xie Xiaoxiao pointed to the towering building by the distant Egret Lake and asked herself a question.

"Yes, you've also heard of Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center?"

Xie Xiaoxiao laughed, "I'm not stupid, how could I not have heard of it? Isn't that the headquarters of Junxiao Group? Xiao Yuting, the most successful car model in our industry, works there."

The most successful car model?
Chen Xiaoqi said, "Didn't she retire from the car model industry? How come she's become the most successful car model?"

"Are you stupid?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked incredulously.

I was stunned for a moment. Was I stupid? Stupid in what way?
"Xiao Yuting left the car model industry but joined Junxing Motors as an executive director and senior vice president. This isn't just taking off, it's practically ascending to heaven. Isn't that a success?"

Oh, okay, I see.

"Are you very familiar with Xiao Yuting?" Chen Xiao didn't remember hearing Xiao Yuting mention Xie Xiaoxiao.

He shook his head. "I've bumped into you a few times at auto shows, but we're not very close, and we don't keep in touch much normally."

Chen Xiao knew they were probably just casual acquaintances. Xiao Yuting wasn't talkative, but she seemed extremely cheerful and lively.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here all alone?"

The two people who were talking turned their heads at the same time. A man around 35 years old walked over with one hand in his pocket and a dashing air. His eyes were fixed on Xiaoxiao, and his admiration for her was almost overflowing.

"What kind of talk is that? Does he think he's not human?" But Chen Xiao knew the man was pursuing a girl and obviously didn't care about him, so he didn't take it to heart. He assumed Xie Xiaoxiao knew him and turned to look out the window.

Xie Xiaoxiao looked at the man with a puzzled expression. "I was just chatting with a friend. Who are you, sir?"

Chen Xiao then realized that they didn't know each other, and the friend Xie Xiaoxiao was referring to was naturally himself.

"Hey, kid, go play somewhere else—"

"You called me?" Chen Xiao turned around in confusion, pointing at herself: "You want me to go play somewhere else?"

The young man was already close by. "Can't you see that Xiaoxiao and I have something to talk about? Aren't you going to leave?"

Before Chen Xiao could speak, Xie Xiaoxiao said, "Sir, what is it you want to say? We're just chatting here, and we were here first."

It seemed they didn't know each other. Chen Xiao glanced at him sideways, put one hand in her pocket, and leaned back against the sofa. The young man said, "Xiao Xiao, I'm your fan. I'd like to chat with you alone for a while."

Xie Xiaoxiao subconsciously took half a step back from Chen Xiao and said defensively, "Say what you have to say, I have friends here."

The young man paused for a moment, then pointed at Chen Xiao: "This guy is your friend? He's just a lowly assistant, what right does he have to be your friend?"

Oh, you came prepared. He said he was a junior assistant, which means he saw me when I came in with Cha Lan, and he must have heard Cha Lan introducing me to everyone.

Indeed, as a superstar tonight, Cha Lan naturally attracts a lot of attention, and Chen Xiao's appearance as his assistant naturally draws attention as well.

Knowing that he was Cha Lan's assistant, the fact that he still looked down on him like that meant this guy had some ability. After all, even if you don't respect the monk, you should still respect the Buddha. Cha Lan's assistant wasn't someone anyone could bully.

Xie Xiaoxiao said with dissatisfaction, "You're really strange. Are all your friends big bosses? Making friends should be about having similar interests. What's wrong with having an assistant?"

Chen Xiao looked at Xie Xiaoxiao with interest; this car model was quite righteous.

The young man was clearly displeased by Xie Xiaoxiao's retort. He then arrogantly introduced himself, "You probably don't know who I am, do you?"

Xie Xiaoxiao snorted: "I don't care who you are. Even if you are the boss of Junxiao Group, what does it have to do with me? I don't like people with your personality. You don't respect people."

The boss of Junxiao Group? Does he even deserve the title? Chen Xiao looked at the young man and guessed his identity.

Upon hearing the words "Junxiao Group," the young man smiled proudly: "Although I am not the boss of Junxiao Group, I still have some influence with him."

Is this person related to him? Or is he just bragging? Chen Xiao has never met him before. Could he be a relative of someone close to him? He listened to his boasting without showing any emotion.

"Wow, you're pretty good. I understand. You can go now. Ask the boss of Junxiao Group if I can cooperate with them too."

After saying that, he chuckled, clearly indicating that his words were mostly sarcastic.

The young man seemed not to understand, saying, "Let's talk privately. I'll take care of your cooperation with Junxiao Group."

Xie Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, surprised that he didn't realize she was joking with him. She turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "What should we do? Someone is trying to steal your girlfriend."

Is this a case of someone coming to ask for help because they couldn't get rid of the person?

Chen Xiao laughed, "Ask him who he is and why he can help you. There are a lot of swindlers these days."

“Right, you still haven’t said who you are?” Xie Xiaoxiao asked the young man after picking up where Chen Xiao left off.

"Hmph—", the cold snort was directed at Chen Xiao. "You'd better get out of here, or I'll make you lose your job in a minute."

"So powerful, able to command Cha Lan?" Chen Xiao really didn't believe it. Apart from himself, Cha Lan didn't seem to be afraid of anyone.

"Then stop bragging. I'm waiting for you to use me as an example to establish your authority—" Chen Xiao said, looking like he didn't want to miss out on trouble.

Seeing Xie Xiaoxiao and the other person working together, the young man said to Xie Xiaoxiao, "When you've figured things out, come find me. I'll take care of your cooperation with Junxiao Group."

"Why is this guy so arrogant?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked Chen Xiao after the young man had walked away.

"Some people's arrogance is something they were born with, how would I know?"

Xie Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You don't seem afraid at all. What if he really makes you lose your job?"

"Then you have to take responsibility—after all, it's because of you that he holds a grudge against me."

He made a face and said, "Why are you trying to scam me? You want me to feed you? From now on, I'll give you a big steamed bun for every meal."

Chen Xiao glanced at her ample bosom and casually remarked, "You clearly have a pair, so why did you only give me one?"

Xie Xiaoxiao had no idea what Chen Xiao was saying, and laughed, "You're so greedy! You want to eat both of mine, but shouldn't I keep one for myself?"

"Then you can't reach it, can you?"

"Can't reach it? What do you mean?" Xie Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Xiao with confusion, feeling that this person was talking strangely.

Chen Xiao didn't explain directly, but pointed to the passing vehicles in the city, "What do you see?"

Xie Xiaoxiao leaned over and said, "It's bustling with traffic."

"They're using idioms now, how cultured!"

Xie Xiaoxiao burst out laughing and said, "You shouldn't make fun of people like that. What did you see?"

"Snow-white headlights—"

Xie Xiaoxiao peeked out and said, "Hmm, the LED headlights these days are big and bright."

Chen Xiao glanced at her chest and nodded: "Indeed."

"How many car models did you bring?"

Xie Xiaoxiao then turned her gaze away from the city streetlights and replied, "Six. Qin Ning is here too. Shall I introduce you to her, Mrs. Ceiling?"

He waved his hand, "No need, I don't have that hobby."

"Hey, I don't believe you for a second. You were just joking around and trying to take advantage of me. Do you really think I'm stupid? I just didn't think of it for a moment. Humph, you're no better than me."

He wasn't embarrassed when he was discovered, and continued to joke: "Good people are always the ones with guns pointed at them, but I like to point guns at others."

"No, no, you're too mean! I'm outta here, bye-bye, little assistant—"

"Little assistant? How am I little?" Chen Xiao smiled as he watched Xie Xiaoxiao walk away quickly, picked up his cocktail, raised it, but still didn't drink it. The organizers of this party were a bit stingy, serving such cheap cocktails.

Wansheng Plaza, Economic Development Zone

Under the escort of Yan Yue and a group of bodyguards, Zhao Xiangjun returned to the bulletproof Maybach. Xu Jia looked gloomy. Those two damned bastards, if this weren't modern society, she would definitely have chopped them to death with a knife.

If their actions had hit Xiangjun, she might have lost her baby. Even being torn to pieces wouldn't be enough to vent my hatred. And Xiangjun was brought out by me today; I'll live with that deep remorse for the rest of my life.

As for Xiangjun, who loves children so much, if her first child with Chen Xiao were to be lost like this, I wonder how heartbroken she would be.

He Qing and Wang Ping stood to the side, their faces also serious. Those two were despicable; they actually dared to lay a hand on Xiangjun's unborn child.

Zhang Yan stood by, not daring to utter a word. The scene was too terrifying. If those two had actually succeeded, countless people would likely have a sleepless night. Who knows how many powerful figures would return to Jiangzhou tonight? Those two would have suffered a fate a thousand times worse than death.

Yan Yue said, "Let's take Madam home first—" Just as she finished speaking, the communicator rang. Yan Yue put on her earpiece and listened quietly to the other party's report, looking at Zhang Yan with a strange expression.

Everyone present knew that the bodyguards who had interrogated the two men were reporting to Yan Yue. Seeing Yan Yue looking at Zhang Yan like that, it was inevitable that they would speculate—could it be that Zhang Yan had orchestrated this? Even Zhang Yan couldn't help but wonder what she had done to affect Xiang Jun. Her expression changed drastically. If it was because of her, she was doomed, and might even implicate Cha Lan. But she hadn't done anything! She was trying to please Xiang Jun; why would she want to hurt her?

Everyone's first reaction was the same, but they soon realized that Zhang Yan had no motive for doing so. Who would do something that would only bring harm and no benefit?

After listening to the report, Yan Yue instructed: "Go to No. 1 Bay immediately to arrest them. Keep a close watch on the evidence and witnesses—"

After making the arrangements, Yan Yue came over to report to Zhao Xiangjun: "Those two people's target is this Miss Zhang Yan—"

Ah—Zhang Yan was startled. Was it aimed at her?
Yan Yue described the interrogation: the two men were local thugs who had been approached by someone who offered them 5 yuan to come and assault a pregnant girl.

After driving the two of them over here, the man pointed to Lao Song Rice Noodles and told them that the one with long hair was quite pretty and two months pregnant. He suggested that if it wasn't convenient to make a move here, they should follow her to Xishan Linyu to find an opportunity.

The two thugs thought that they could get 5 yuan by pretending to bump into each other by accident. This job was a sure thing, it was like money from heaven. They took the job without saying a word.

When they arrived, they saw Zhao Xiangjun. She was not just pretty, she was stunningly beautiful. Then, when Xu Jia told them that Xiangjun was two months pregnant, their first thought was that this was the real person. In addition, Xiangjun mentioned Xishan Linyu, and these key characteristics were exactly the same as the information they had received, so they were convinced that Zhao Xiangjun was the real person.

These two were somewhat clever; after being dragged there, they glanced at the other party's license plate before doing anything. Therefore, when they were interrogated, they knew the situation was serious—they had offended someone they couldn't afford to offend. The two 180cm tall men were terrified; one even wet his pants. There was no need for interrogation; they spilled their words like beans from a bamboo tube, eager to tell the truth, afraid of being physically eliminated if they didn't behave well.

She also resented that person, who gave her 5 yuan and said she had no background, just a young girl. That's what they call having no background? Those bodyguards were incredibly powerful; she had over a dozen with her. Even foreign heads of state probably don't have that many bodyguards when they travel.

After the license plate was given, the bodyguard immediately contacted the relevant authorities to retrieve the car's information. The car owner didn't take it seriously and was even singing in a karaoke bar 500 meters away. He was caught by several short-haired girls shortly after he went in.

Inside the store, they started asking him why he attacked Zhao Xiangjun. The man looked completely bewildered, "Who is Zhao Xiangjun? I don't know her!"

The bodyguard initially thought he was faking it, but after slapping him several times, the man cried out, "I really don't know her! I would never know her! The person I'm targeting tonight is named Zhang Yan—"

Upon hearing Yan Yue's report, Zhao Xiangjun said, "Zhang Yan, take my car back. Tomorrow, I'll have Cha Lan assign you some security personnel—"

Yan Yue let Zhang Yan sit in the passenger seat, and the convoy headed towards Xishan Linyu.

"Zhang Yan, have you offended anyone lately? Who's so vicious?"

Zhang Yan cried, "I don't know, I don't know, I almost got you into trouble, Cha Lan will definitely beat me to death—" (End of this chapter)
