Chapter 610: Give me a big steamed bun?
Not many people know Chen Xiao, and even fewer know him and call him by his full name.
"Li Xingxing?" Chen Xiao was surprised to run into his college roommate here. This roommate came from the best family when they were in school. After graduation, he heard that she went abroad. He never expected to meet her at the Jiangzhou Auto Show.
Li Xingxing didn't notice that Zhang Ziqian and Cha Lan were with Chen Xiao, since the area was full of people, and most of them were strangers.
"Looking at cars?"
Shaking his head, Li Xingxing said mysteriously, "Who comes to the auto show to look at cars?"
Chen Xiao was a little confused. What did that mean? Why come to a car show if not to look at cars? The next second, Li Xingxing gave the answer: "Of course, we're here to see the car models. Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao are both here."
"Okay," Chen Xiao smiled. Just then, Li Xingxing suddenly exclaimed, "Look, look, Xie Xiaoxiao has been looking at me and smiling at me!"
With so many people in that direction, he didn't know how he could tell that someone was smiling at him. Chen Xiao waved to Xie Xiaoxiao as a greeting, knowing that Xie Xiaoxiao was looking at him.
"Damn, Chen Xiao, you're the repressed type, aren't you? You even said I was looking at car models, you've already given me that hint."
Cha Lan, standing nearby, was startled. This guy actually called President Chen a repressed pervert! Luckily, after glancing over, he saw that Chen Xiao wasn't angry. He was overthinking it; Chen Xiao wouldn't be angry about such a joke between classmates.
"They'll be taking a break soon, let's go get their autographs together."
"I'm not going. Didn't you go abroad? When are you coming back?"
Li Xingxing said, "Oh, don't even mention it. When I was in China, I thought foreign countries were better, but after going abroad, I realized that my motherland is still the best. I came back this time because there was a good opportunity in Jiangzhou, so I came back."
Chen Xiao chatted casually, and when he heard this, he asked him what opportunity he was looking for.
“Jiangzhou has seen tremendous development in the past two years, with many large corporations emerging. Have you heard of Zhifei Aerospace?”
Caught off guard, Cha Lan, whose company had been named, glanced at Li Xingxing.
Chen Xiao nodded. "I've heard of it. You went to that company?"
"Yes, I went for an interview, but the competition was fierce. In the final round, I pulled out all the stops, but I don't know if I'll be successful."
Unleash a powerful move? What powerful move? Crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide?
"You know, my family is well-off, so what I care about isn't the salary, but the job opportunity. At the last minute, I told the interviewer that I could work for 0 salary. What do you think? Who can resist that? They can hire me without spending a penny and still get a valuable asset. Who would refuse?"
Chen Xiao was both amused and exasperated. He turned to Cha Lan and said, "Old Cha, you're very experienced. What's your opinion on whether Li Xingxing's ingenious move will be effective?"
Li Xingxing then realized that Cha Lan and Chen Xiao knew each other. She looked at the unassuming old man and asked, "Your colleague?"
Chen Xiao said, "A friend."
Li Xingxing guessed that the old man wasn't of high status; someone who could hang out with a young man who had only graduated a few years ago couldn't possibly be a big shot. So he called out to Chen Xiao, "Old Cha, you're experienced, give us some feedback?"
Cha Lan, standing to the side, remarked, "This isn't a powerful move; it's a complete blunder—"
"Hey, hey, Old Cha, if you don't come up with a reason today, I'm not happy." He thought his brilliant idea was unique among all the job seekers, so how could it be rejected?
Cha Lan laughed and asked, "Is Zhifei Aerospace short of money?"
Li Xingxing was taken aback. Of course they don't lack money. Their annual output value is close to 200 billion. How could they lack money?
"If you don't lack money, why use free talent? Besides, not paying employees is a violation of labor laws. This move of yours will not benefit Zhifei Aerospace, but will actually harm it."
"Damn, how come I didn't think of that—"
Cha Lan laughed, "I've lived most of my life, I'm very experienced."
Li Xingxing patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, Lao Cha, you've lived half your life and you've finally figured it out." He had a strong grip, and Cha Lan staggered from the slap, thinking to himself, "If you weren't President Chen's classmate, I would have swindled you out of your life. This old body of mine is almost broken."
"Oh dear, what a pity, the job fell through."
Chen Xiao glanced at Cha Lan, who understood and asked, "That's not necessarily true. What position did you interview for?"
“Marketing department, I’m a pro at sales. Chen Xiao knows that back in school, when I went out to hand out flyers, none of them could outdo me.”
Looking at Chen Xiao, he thought, "President Chen actually hands out flyers? And he's a master at sales? Can you be as good as President Chen?" But he also knew that President Chen's sales skills were probably just a hobby, something he was just messing around with.
Chen Xiao chimed in, "Give me a break. The reason you hand out so many flyers is because you sell them all as scrap."
When Li Xingxing saw Cha Lan staring at her, she blushed. "Doesn't this just prove my flexibility? Am I suited for sales?"
“You should be careful when choosing a career. Think about what you are suited to do before you go for the interview at Zhifei Aerospace. I think you can do it—” Chen Xiao said.
Cha Lan immediately said, "I think you could try working on the front line in the factory. Now that Zhifei Aerospace has grown in scale, there may be more room for development in the production sector in the future."
Li Xingxing was skeptical. "Isn't it said that distribution channels are king?"
Little did he know that Chen Xiao had distorted both Zhifei Aerospace and Dr. Feng's Robotics, rendering the marketing department utterly meaningless. Now that the company had grown, the marketing department handled mostly door-to-door business, which lacked technical sophistication and naturally wasn't valued by the boss.
"I think you can trust Old Cha; he's very experienced."
After a moment's thought, Li Xingxing said, "Okay, I'll trust him this once. After all, he's older, and he's learned his lesson the hard way."
Zhang Ziqian covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She felt that her boss's classmate didn't seem very bright. What did it mean to have suffered more losses than you'd walked the road? How many losses had Boss Cha suffered?
Then, Li Xingxing patted Cha Lan on the shoulder again. Cha Lan wanted to dodge, but after glancing at Chen Xiao, he endured it.
"Old Cha, I'll listen to you. If I get the job, I'll treat you to drinks. If I don't, don't blame me for bullying you next time we meet. I'm a ruthless person, you can ask Chen Xiao if you don't believe me."
He made a joke and even made a threatening gesture, making him seem like a gangster.
Chen Xiao smiled. If he knew how ruthless Cha Lan was and how he punished his former brother-in-law, Li Xingxing might not dare to joke around anymore.
Cha Lan grinned and said, "Don't worry, you'll definitely pass the interview, otherwise I'll cut off my head and let you kick it like a ball."
{You bastard, just wait till I get you to the company, I'll teach you a lesson! You almost broke my shoulder from all that beating.}
Li Xingxing laughed and said, "Old Cha, are you trying to scam me because my family is well-off? I don't care about your head, it's practically bald, you're the only one who treasures it."
Zhang Ziqian turned her head and chuckled. President Cha's expression was priceless; he had probably never suffered such humiliation before.
Chen Xiao patted Cha Lan on the shoulder: "Don't mind him. This guy was never one to keep his mouth shut back when he was in school. Because of his mouth, he got into fights with three out of the six people in his dorm."
With a forced smile, he replied, "That's not bad either; at least two people haven't started fighting."
Chen Xiao glanced at Li Xingxing and a smile appeared on his lips. "That's because my other roommate and I found him annoying and moved out."
"Damn it, Chen Xiao, why are you saying all sorts of things? Are you trying to force me to fight you one-on-one?" Li Xingxing jokingly glared at him.
Cha Lan chuckled. "You want to challenge him to a one-on-one fight? The moment you make a move, you'll know what it means to be ganged up on. He's surrounded by his plainclothes bodyguards. Besides, with Li Xingxing's build of around 173cm, the only ones here can probably bully this old guy."
At this moment, the car models were probably taking a break. Li Xingxing's eyes lit up, and she called out, "Chen Xiao, shall we go find Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao?"
"I think I'll skip it. I'll just wander around for a bit, then I'll head back with Lao Cha and the others."
"Okay, it's a good thing you're not going. You're so handsome, if you come with me, you'll at least overshadow me by a fifth."
I looked at him and thought, "Can't you be a little more confident and cover it up 100%?"
Li Xingxing went to ask for an autograph, but Chen Xiao's stomach suddenly growled. Remembering that she hadn't eaten lunch before running out, she looked around and said, "Let's go get something to eat."
Sigh, instead of enjoying the company's gourmet meals, he comes out to eat a bowl of cold noodles. Zhang Ziqian watched Chen Xiao casually eat a few bites and put down his chopsticks, thinking to herself, "The company's gourmet meals are all benefiting President Wang."
"Manager Cha, Manager Cha—"
Chen Xiao looked at the group of people walking over and whispered to Cha Lan, "You're really famous now. It feels like everyone in the world knows you."
Cha Lan stood up, and Chen Xiao said, "Why don't you go over there and talk to them?"
Talking here affects his appetite. He can't eat much to begin with, and with people chattering around, he'll have no chance to eat at all.
"Little assistant, little assistant"
Hearing a sweet voice calling out, Chen Xiao felt the voice sounded somewhat familiar. Zhang Ziqian, the chief secretary, turned her head and saw a sweet-looking, hot-figured car model dressed in casual clothes coming over and calling out to them. She wondered, "How does she know I'm the assistant? I don't know her either."
"Fine, little assistant, are you pretending not to know me?" Zhang Ziqian looked at Xie Xiaoxiao walking over, completely bewildered, her face puffed up with anger.
Chen Xiao finally understood, turned his head, and pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down—what do you want to eat?"
Xie Xiaoxiao sat down unceremoniously to the side, and Zhang Ziqian realized that she was looking for Chen Xiao. But why was she calling Chen Xiao's assistant? She guessed that her boss was pretending to be weak while secretly being strong again.
"Who is this beauty?"
Zhang Ziqian nodded to her and introduced herself, "Assistant—"
Xie Xiaoxiao laughed, "President Cha is indeed a big boss, always traveling with two assistants. This Ziqian is so pretty."
Zhang Ziqian smiled and said, "You're very beautiful too."
To be honest, Xie Xiaoxiao is not as pretty as Zhang Ziqian, but her dimples, sweet face, and hot figure make her stand out in a crowd.
"What do you want to eat?" Chen Xiao asked again.
Xie Xiaoxiao said, "What? You're just going to treat me to such a cheap meal and call it a day? It was so rude of you to leave without saying goodbye yesterday. Do you even consider me a friend?" "I'm not paying, Ziqian, please—"
Xie Xiaoxiao's eyes widened instantly. "Chen Xiao, do you have any humanity? You left without saying goodbye yesterday, shouldn't you apologize? I thought you would treat me to a meal as an apology, but you made Ziqian pay instead?"
Chen Xiao slowly and methodically asked, "Why should I apologize?"
Xie Xiaoxiao took out her phone: "Here, let's add each other on WeChat first. You left yesterday without asking for my contact information. If we hadn't run into each other today, we would have lost touch, wouldn't we?"
"If I don't contact you, won't you come after me?"
Xie Xiaoxiao paused, thinking that it made sense, but was it appropriate for her to let a girl pursue her?
"How can someone so slow-witted make a living out of nothing?"
Xie Xiaoxiao was furious. "I don't want you to treat me anymore—"
Chen Xiao laughed: "So you're planning to go hungry?"
"Hmph, no need, I brought my own food—"
Chen Xiao was so sick of cold noodles that he was about to throw up, but when he heard she had brought lunch, his eyes lit up. "Give me some!"
Xie Xiaoxiao looked utterly dejected as she pulled two large steamed buns from her bag. "Here, have one!"
"."
She had been holding out her arm for a while, but Chen Xiao still didn't take it. Xie Xiaoxiao said with dissatisfaction, "Do you want it or not? If not, I'll eat it myself."
"Big sister, is this the lunch you brought?"
"Yes, it's simple and convenient; just take a bite when you're hungry—"
"Never mind, I don't really like noodles. You can enjoy it yourself," Chen Xiao said politely.
"You models earn so much, how come you're so stingy with yourselves?"
Xie Xiaoxiao was unhappy. "How have I been stingy with myself? I like eating steamed buns. They're sweet and chewy, so delicious. Besides, they're easy to carry. What do you know?"
Okay, you win. Chen Xiao thinks he'll just stick to cold noodles.
"Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao—"
Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and turned to say, "Li Xingxing, shut the hell up! If you shout again, I'll gag you!"
Li Xingxing was taken aback. "Chen Xiao, you're here too?"
"Me too?" Chen Xiao turned to look at him and realized that his eyes were only on Xie Xiaoxiao. Only then did she realize that he wasn't calling her. The reason she had reacted so strongly just now was because when she was in school, she was taking a phone call with her father in the dormitory, and he heard her father call her "Xiaoxiao," so he repeated that, which almost made Chen Xiao lose her temper.
Xie Xiaoxiao asked Chen Xiao, "Do you know this person?"
Judging from her tone, it seemed like she remembered Li Xingxing. Then Xie Xiaoxiao said, "This guy can stand in front of someone and not blink for five minutes straight, what a pervert." After saying that, she added, "He's just as good as you."
Li Xingxing sat down next to them and only then noticed Zhang Ziqian. Wow, she's so beautiful. He had been so focused on the car model and Chen Xiao had blocked his view that he hadn't noticed her until now.
"Chen Xiao, you said you weren't into models, but you ran off faster than me! You're such a closet pervert—"
"Ziqian, go borrow some tape. I'll gag him in a bit."
"No, no, okay, I was wrong. Old classmate, we only see each other once every few years, you should control your temper."
Li Xingxing sat down and immediately turned her attention to Xie Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I'm your fan—"
"Yes, thank you. You and Chen Xiao are classmates, and Chen Xiao is my good friend—"
What's going on here? Drawing a line? It's like telling him not to mess with his friend's wife. Chen Xiao knows Xie Xiaoxiao wouldn't fall for him at first sight; she's definitely using him as a shield.
Li Xingxing was clearly not fooled. "Don't lie to me. You two must have just met. Besides, this guy brought his girlfriend along. Even if he had the intention, he wouldn't have the guts."
Seeing Chen Xiao with Zhang Ziqian, he naturally assumed she was his girlfriend. Chen Xiao didn't object; it was only a matter of time before Zhang Ziqian became his woman.
Xie Xiaoxiao nudged Chen Xiao under the table, signaling him to quickly move the classmate away as he was disturbing her meal.
"Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, Chen Xiao and I were the two most charming people in our dorm back then."
I didn't realize this guy would include Chen Xiao while bragging about himself. Xie Xiaoxiao laughed: "He's first, and you're second, right?"
Li Xingxing immediately became dissatisfied, "You're so beautiful, but your taste seems a bit off. Of course, I'm number one, and he's number two."
Xie Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them and then asked, "Is ugliness the norm in your dorm?"
Zhang Ziqian was immediately amused, while Li Xingxing looked sad, wondering what was wrong with her appearance. Well, she was definitely not as handsome as Chen Xiao.
He winked at Chen Xiao, meaning, "Brother's chasing after a star, sorry to offend you today."
Then, with a leisurely air, he said to Xie Xiaoxiao, "Charm includes many aspects, not just good looks, but also talent, and, well, wealth."
"Talent? Hmm, I can see that. You're a natural-born talent—"
Li Xingxing's face fell. This wasn't a compliment. I'd rather you called me an idol.
"And wealth, are you very rich?"
"Among my peers, I should be one of the best."
Zhang Ziqian couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you were looking for a job? You haven't even found one yet, how did you become a top performer?"
Li Xingxing blushed, not expecting to be exposed so directly. He forced himself to say, "Wealth in the family and a good father are not enough; you also have to rely on your own abilities. My dad earns 300 million a year. I don't have to do anything, and I've already surpassed 99.99% of people."
Xie Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "Oh! Your dad doesn't even earn as much as I do!"
"Seriously? Modeling is that lucrative?"
Chen Xiao glanced at him. "What do you think? He's a top model. He could earn a lot even just by doing live streams. Before Xiao Yuting joined him, she earned nearly 2000 million a year. Xie Xiaoxiao's income isn't much less."
"You earn so much and you're still eating steamed buns?"
Bringing up the very thing she didn't want to talk about, Xie Xiaoxiao stood up and said, "Chen Xiao, I'm leaving. Do you want to go check out the Junxing Auto booth? Oh, by the way, their vice president, Xiao Yuting, is coming over later. She's a super beauty, the pinnacle of our car model industry back in the day."
"You go ahead, I won't go."
Li Xingxing's eyes lit up: "Xiao Yuting? I'll go, I'll go see her—"
Chen Xiao frowned, a little annoyed. Xie Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes: "She's not a car model anymore, she's the vice president of Junxing Motors, surrounded by bodyguards. Do you think she's like us, forced to deal with fans like you? She has the right to say 'NO'."
Just then, a commotion broke out in the crowd ahead. Xie Xiaoxiao stood up, looked around, and said, "It seems Xiao Yuting has arrived. I'll go over there too. We can catch up if we meet. I can also use Yuting's connections to get more cooperation with Junxing Auto in the future. The pay is good, and there's less work."
Chen Xiao nodded. "Go ahead, go ahead. I can't even eat properly with you guys here."
She had just stepped out when she came back: "Hey, that's going too far. They didn't even say I was attracted to their beauty, and now you're complaining?"
"I wasn't talking about you—"
Xie Xiaoxiao then looked at Li Xingxing with satisfaction, who still looked bewildered. "Then who are you talking about? You can't be talking about me, after all, I'm your roommate."
Chen Xiao sighed, "I moved out back then because I was annoyed by you."
"Holy crap—Chen Xiao, how could you embarrass me in front of such a beautiful woman?"
Xie Xiaoxiao left, and Cha Lan, having finished his conversation, returned. Li Xingxing patted him on the shoulder, a habit he'd developed. "Old Cha, Chen Xiao is so boring. Do you want to come with me to Junxing Auto? I heard Xiao Yuting's here. Don't you want to see this beautiful woman?"
"Damn it, you're asking for trouble! Don't drag me into this!" Cha Lan's face turned pale. "I'm not going, I'm not going."
Li Xingxing shook her head. "I guess I'm getting old, useless now. I don't even have the motivation to look at pretty girls. I'm off, Chen Xiao, bye-bye—"
Watching his retreating figure, Cha Lan had only one thought in his mind: "I have to hire this guy into the company. If I don't ruin him, I'll change my surname to Li."
Yesterday, because of Zhao Cheng's matter, Cha Lan was already on tenterhooks all day. And this Li Xingxing keeps making my heart race and almost made my shoulders fall apart from all the pounding.
"Old Cha, go and call Xu Gang over later. He should be done with his work by now. With Yu Ting here, there's someone to handle anything that needs to be done on site."
Xiao Yuting is the executive director and senior vice president. Although many employees in the company do not know that she is one of the boss's wives, Xu Gang treats Xiao Yuting with great respect in the company, which is obvious to everyone.
When Xiao Yuting first joined the company, some of the older employees who had followed Xu Gang since Tianqi Auto were very resentful. They felt that the company had worked so hard to get started, so why should a car model be allowed to reap the rewards?
Xu Gang's special assistant, who had been with him for many years, initially didn't take Xiao Yuting seriously. However, he once spoke ill of Xiao Yuting in front of Xu Gang, and was fired by Xu Gang that very day.
From that time on, no employee at Junxing Automobile Company dared to disobey Xiao Yuting. Later, rumors began to circulate that she might be the big boss. Considering Xiao Yuting's beauty, her meteoric rise to power, and her position within the company, this claim gained traction and was easily accepted. Therefore, Xiao Yuting's words now sometimes carried more weight in the company than Xu Gang's.
Cha Lan eagerly went over; the reason he was sent to invite Xu Gang instead of making a phone call was to confirm whether Xu Gang could really drop everything. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, made the phone call directly, putting aside even Xu Gang's most pressing matter.
"Boss, look over there—isn't that Qiu Qiaoqiao?" (End of Chapter)
