Guo Fu sat next to Chen Xiao, her domineering aura as a billionaire CEO gone, and instead she looked like a timid wife.

Upon seeing the two people enter, they turned to look at Chen Xiao.

"This is my friend, Xie Xiaoxiao—"

A friend, a friend of Mr. Chen! This kind of introduction carries a lot of weight!

The introduction to Qin Ning reads, "This is Xie Xiaoxiao's colleague—Qin Ning!"

Hey--

As expected, I was not qualified to be his friend at all.

The food was ready at the restaurant, and the group was just about to head out for their meal when Guo Fu's phone rang—

She picked it up and glanced at it. "You guys go to the restaurant first. Zhao Jinhu called; he probably knows I'm in Qinzhou!"

Seeing Chen Xiao's confusion and knowing that he didn't know who Zhao Jinhu was, he explained, "He's the chairman of Tianyue Group!"

Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao were shocked. Wasn't that Zhao Lei's father? Zhao Jinhu, the richest man in Qin Province.

Chen Xiao gestured for her to answer the phone first.
Guo Fu gently swiped to answer the call: "President Zhao!!"

"Mr. Guo, I heard you've arrived in Qinzhou. Would you do me the honor of arranging your reception?"

"No need, I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning. I'm not here on business!" She came to see Chen Xiao and, incidentally, to go back to Jiangzhou with him to see her mother-in-law. She had no interest in seeing her business partner.

Qin Ning glanced at Xie Xiaoxiao again and thought to herself, "Goodness!" The richest man wanted to entertain her, but she refused. No wonder she is the eldest daughter of the Guo family.

Thinking back to how the eldest daughter of the Guo family had been clinging to Chen Xiao just now, Qin Ning unconsciously puffed out his chest, suddenly feeling as if he could now look at the richest man in Qinzhou on equal footing.

Then I thought, if we look at it from this perspective, Zhao Lei, whom I met today, is still a junior, so it would be perfectly reasonable to beat him up this afternoon.

"Smart transportation project?" Guo Fu repeated Zhao Jinhu's words.

Chen Xiao said from the side, "Then let him come. Don't let it interfere with work."

Guo Fu thought for a moment, "Come to the hotel in an hour. Have the documents ready. I only have half an hour."

Then he hung up the phone.
Wow, that's impressive. A billionaire came to discuss business, and they treated it like a work report, giving her only half an hour. If I didn't know she was the eldest daughter of the Guo family, I'd think she was a con artist.

"Let's go eat. This hotel is a bit shabby, but please bear with it."

Chen Xiao has complained more than once: can this 5-star hotel really live up to its 5-star rating? No wonder Gao Yue didn't even bother to glance at the [Tian Yue Gao Hua Hotel] when they were acquiring hotels.

During the meal, Guo Fu introduced Zhao Jinhu's situation to Chen Xiao, and they learned that more than half of Tianyue Group's business was in the urban renewal projects that Guo Fu was working on.

As for corporate profits, over 60% come from the Guo Group, specifically from urban renewal projects overseen by Guo Fu.

From this perspective, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Guo Fu is Zhao Jinhu's god!

Hearing this, Qin Ning suddenly wondered what Zhao Jinhu would think if he knew that his son was comparing wealth with Guo Zong's man online.
She glanced at Zhang Ziqian and noticed that her expression was calm, as if she had known all along.

As Chen Xiao's close secretary, she possessed far more information than Chen Xiao himself. On the plane, when she saw Zhao Lei trying to outdo Chen Xiao in a game about wealth, she was already investigating the Zhao family of Qinzhou.

"The food here is not only of poor quality, but also tastes terrible," Chen Xiao said, stopping after only a few bites.

The others looked on but remained silent. "Boss, you're just not used to the food here in Qinzhou."

The girls didn't eat much to begin with. In fact, they rarely ate dinner to maintain their figures. Now that Chen Xiao stopped eating, everyone else stopped too.

Upon entering the living room, just as I was brewing a cup of tea, the doorbell rang—

The private butler entered: "Mr. Chen, there's a man outside who calls himself Zhao Jinhu requesting an audience with Mr. Guo—"

He was calling out the name himself, his expression somewhat strange. The name was the same as the richest man in Qinzhou, who was also a major shareholder of this hotel.

The hotel's permanent property belongs to him, and the Gao Hua Hotel Group is responsible for its operation and management. As the private butler made the announcement, he muttered to himself, "It can't be the richest man. The richest man wouldn't be so low-key and humble. Requesting an audience? These people are staying in the presidential suite, so they must be very wealthy. But to say that the richest man would come to request an audience is a joke."

Little did Zhao Jinhu outside the door know that he was also bewildered. This address was sent to him by President Guo. The private butler had just said that the owner inside was President Chen. Who was President Chen? Did President Guo live with her?
He assumed that President Chen was a woman; otherwise, why would Guo Fu live with her?

When the private butler led him inside and he saw everyone on the sofa, he was immediately stunned—

A refined and handsome young man was surrounded by several beautiful women; it was truly a paradise of fragrance.

When the private butler took his leave of the man called Mr. Chen, Zhao Jinhu gasped. He then realized that Mr. Chen was actually a man, and that Mr. Guo was sharing a suite with him—the relationship was self-evident.

What a capable man! He's managed to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Guo family. Zhao Jinhu quickly addressed him, "President Guo, President Chen—"

Guo Fu had guests, so Li Zhi'en took Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning to the tea room next door for tea. Only Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian remained in the living room.

Zhao Jinhu remained expressionless, but in his heart he thought, "This General Manager Chen is a bit inconsiderate. General Manager Guo has come to discuss business with his business partners. What are you doing sitting next to him?"

The worst part was that a stunningly beautiful woman was sitting right next to him, so close that even Zhao Jinhu thought she was his woman. In front of President Guo, haha—

Zhao Jinhu thought to himself, "I don't think this pretty boy is a good match. Once President Guo's initial excitement wears off, he'll probably dump him!"

"Mr. Zhao, let's get straight to the point, what's up?" Guo Fu really wasn't in the mood to talk about work today. She and Chen Xiao hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were currently very much in love. Having her time taken up by someone else naturally put her in a bad mood.

Since General Manager Guo felt it was appropriate to discuss the matter face-to-face, Zhao Jinhu naturally dared not object and began to discuss the urban renewal project in Qin Province.

This is a massive project, involving huge investments in intelligent transportation, intelligent emergency response, and underground pipeline networks. Of course, it will also generate substantial profits.

Listening from the side, Chen Xiao roughly understood that the main business of Tianyue Group was similar to that of Jiangzhou Design Institute and the Bai family. However, Tianyue Group's scope was much broader.

Besides this business, they also have interests in hotels, pawnshops, and restaurants. Halfway through his explanation, Zhao Jinhu noticed that Guo Fu and the others' cups were empty, so he quickly got up to refill them.

He glanced at Chen Xiao, feeling somewhat unwilling. He'd never poured water for such a pretty boy before. "Sigh, fine, for President Guo's sake, I'll give this kid a break."

"No need, you guys chat—" Chen Xiao waved his hand dismissively. He still had some in his cup; he really didn't have any left, as Ziqian had already refilled hers.

"Wow, he didn't even accept such a huge favor!" Zhao Jinhu shook his head. "Don't think you're so great just because you've climbed up to President Guo. What will you be like if he kicks you out one day? But if the richest man in Qinzhou pours you tea, you can brag about it for the rest of your life."

Zhang Ziqian smiled slightly and said, "President Chen, I'll take care of things. You two chat."

You serve?
Zhao Jinhu gasped.
Damn, that's arrogant enough. Finding a beautiful woman to serve him right in front of Boss Guo, this guy is really fearless.

Logically, at this point he should be considering Chen Xiao's identity. It wasn't that he was stupid, but given Guo Fu's status, in his mind, no man could be so aggressive.

He quickly composed himself and continued reporting to Guo Fu without showing any emotion. However, less than three minutes later, he suddenly heard a loud commotion outside.

Chen Xiao gently lowered the blue-and-white porcelain cup he was drinking from. "Why is the hotel so noisy?"

This shouldn't even be happening in a five-star hotel. Besides, this is the presidential suite area on the top floor.
Zhang Ziqian stood up. "I'll go take a look—"

Guo Fu had been listening to Zhao Jinhu's report and didn't respond to his business questions. Her first words were surprisingly, "Mr. Zhao, this hotel still seems to belong to your family, right? The presidential suite area is so chaotic; who would want to stay here in the future?"

Zhao Jinhu's face flushed red, and he bowed his head, repeatedly saying yes. He inwardly hated the hotel management and the people making a ruckus outside, thinking, "Just wait and see how I deal with you!"

Guo Fu's words sounded like she couldn't stay at the hotel. But to Zhao Jinhu, it meant that if President Guo wasn't going to stay in Qinzhou anymore, would she still be investing there?

The more he thought about it, the more he hated it. Just then, Zhang Ziqian walked in from outside, her face not looking too good.

Chen Xiao frowned. "What's going on?"

Guo Fu and Zhao Jinhu had stopped discussing business and were both looking at Zhang Ziqian, wanting to know the whole story.

Zhang Ziqian said softly, "A group of people are coming to cause trouble for Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning." As she said this, Chen Xiao's face turned ashen.

Guo Fu angrily said, "This is outrageous! How could this hotel let people in? The security is so bad! They can't even guarantee the safety of guests in the presidential suite?"

Zhao Jinhu suddenly stood up: "President Guo, I'll handle this—I'll definitely give you an explanation!"

If Zhao Jinhu still doesn't give an explanation for the attack on Guo's friend at his hotel, he's likely in big trouble.

Zhang Ziqian then said, "The mastermind has been captured. It was about that incident this afternoon."

Huh? Chen Xiao immediately realized what she was talking about, Zhao Jinhu's son—Zhao Lei?
"Bring him in and hand him over to General Manager Zhao."

When Zhao Jinhu heard that the mastermind had been apprehended, he wanted to see which bastard dared to make him lose face in front of President Guo.

"President Guo, President Chen, I will give you an explanation today. In Qinzhou, no matter who he is, anyone who dares to disrespect President Guo's friend will be severely punished!"

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's instructions, Zhang Ziqian waved towards the living room, signaling the young woman in charge of security to bring the person over.

Zhao Jinhu was startled. He wanted to make a good impression on President Guo, but when he saw the young man being dragged in by the neck and thrown on the ground like a dead dog, he was shocked.

He went up and kicked him in the head a few times: "You son of a bitch, how dare you cause trouble at my hotel!"

Because the young man's head was drooping, he couldn't see his face. After kicking him a few times, he suddenly realized that the clothes the young man was wearing looked very familiar.

After kicking the man a few more times, the man cried out in pain. Zhao Jinhu's expression changed. That voice—wasn't that his son's?

Holy crap—

My only son!
He rushed forward, pulled him up, and saw that it was none other than his son Zhao Lei.

At this moment, his forehead was swollen with a large bump from being kicked by his own leather shoe!

Zhao Jinhu was both angry and heartbroken. He was angry that his son would cause trouble at his family's hotel, and heartbroken that his son had been dragged in like a dead dog and kicked by him.

Zhao Lei has never laid a finger on Zhao Jinhu in his entire life, yet today he accidentally injured him.

Zhao Lei looked up and saw that the person who had just kicked him was his own father. Overwhelmed with resentment at being beaten and joy at seeing his savior, he burst into tears, wailing, "Dad, I was bullied by their bodyguards! They beat me up twice!"

Zhao Jinhu's face was grim. He felt heartbroken hearing his son's complaints. He guessed that these bodyguards belonged to President Guo. If President Guo's bodyguards had beaten his son, then they were innocent victims. How could he dare to say no?
"You damned brat, you offended President Guo! You deserve to be beaten to death!!" Zhao Jinhu quickly made his decision; his immediate priority was to calm President Guo down. As long as President Guo didn't pursue the matter, what did it matter if Zhao Lei suffered a little physical pain?

If the cooperation between the Guo Group and myself runs into problems, the company will be in trouble. At that time, it's possible that the richest man in Qinzhou will become the most indebted man in Qinzhou.

At this moment, Xie Xiaoxiao and her friends, who were drinking tea in the tea room, heard the commotion outside and came out to see what was happening. When they found Zhao Lei lying on the ground, they exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" They hadn't expected him to have followed them all the way to the hotel. How arrogant could he be?!

Chen Xiao beckoned them over and pointed at Zhao Lei on the ground: "This afternoon, wasn't it him who harassed you?"

Guo Fu's face turned cold, and she glared murderously at Zhao Lei on the ground. "You bastard, how dare you harass Chen Xiao's confidante! You're courting death!"

Xie Xiaoxiao saw that Chen Xiao was angry, so she carefully walked over, but her heart was warmed, knowing that this guy was standing up for her.

He hummed in agreement and nodded.

"Mr. Zhao, you just said you would handle this. Now let's hear how you plan to handle it?" Chen Xiao looked at Zhao Jinhu with a cold smile.

Zhao Jinhu was very unhappy. He was giving Guo Fu face, and this pretty boy was acting all high and mighty. However, out of respect for Guo Fu, he didn't dare to confront Chen Xiao directly, and instead looked at Guo Fu.

Guo Fu raised an eyebrow: "Why are you looking at me when President Chen is asking you a question?"

Zhao Jinhu felt wronged and wanted to cry. "Why am I looking at you? This is to show that I respect you!"
After hearing Guo Fu's words, he turned to Chen Xiao and said, "Mr. Chen, how about this? I just received a new Porsche 911. I'll give it to this young lady to make up for the fright she suffered."

After saying that, he stared at Chen Xiao, thinking to himself: Isn't this a good enough offer? Over 200 million! (End of Chapter)
