Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center
In his office on the 58th floor, Chen Xiao sat with his legs crossed, sipping Pu'er tea and casually scrolling through messages on his phone.

Upon arriving at their destination, Diao Chan and Ma Jian both sent messages to Chen Xiao. Ma Jian also mentioned the situation of Diao Chan's uncle—he was out of danger. He even described Diao Chan's relatives—a group of poor relatives.

Chen Xiao retorted irritably, "Are all your relatives rich?"

Ma Jian fell silent. In this society, 99% of people are poor; who doesn't have a few poor relatives?
"By the way, boss. I noticed that Diao Chan's father seems to have a disability in one arm; he must have been injured at the construction site."

Disability? That basically means you have no means of making a living!
Her mother's health wasn't very good either.

Chen Xiao chuckled, "You don't need to worry about it, okay?"

He knew that Ma Jian thought he was after Diao Chan, but that wasn't the case. He just felt happy chatting with Diao Chan.

Perhaps she was unaware of her own identity, so she was completely at ease and made jokes without any restraint.

Putting down his phone, he looked at Zhang Ziqian, who was organizing documents, and asked, "How's things going with Junxing Motors lately?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ziqian looked up and smiled gently: "The Junxing M8 has received 1.7 orders in just one month. It's been on the market for so long, and it's still very popular!"

"Then Xu Gang's pressure is greatly reduced—"

Zhang Ziqian smiled and nodded: "Yes, he went to see President Xu before and built two more super smart factories. If sales are not good and the factories have excess capacity, he won't be able to meet his expectations."

"The Junxing M7 and M8 are both selling like hotcakes, which has solidified Junxing Auto's high-end brand image and laid a good foundation for its subsequent large business sedans and MPVs!"

Chen Xiao smiled but didn't say anything. In his opinion, Xu Gang could have been even more radical; there were still too few vehicles approved for the project at the moment.

"By the way, boss. FlashCloud Automotive has stopped purchasing intelligent solutions from Junxing Intelligent R&D Center; they've chosen HarmonyOS—"

He waved his hand, "I never cared about it in the first place. Their volume is negligible. I initially wanted to use Shanyun Auto's intelligent driving mileage to train the autonomous driving technology because I was worried about Junxing Auto's poor sales. Now that Junxing Auto's sales have picked up, whether or not we cooperate with Shanyun Auto is no longer important!"

Zhang Ziqian was naturally aware of all this. She put down the tablet in her hand and chuckled, "The Jin family father and son are ambitious; they want to build [Flash Cloud Auto] into a global luxury brand."

"His ambitions were sky-high, but his fate was as fragile as paper!" Chen Xiao sneered disdainfully.

In the luxury brand arena, there are already HarmonyOS and Junxing Auto, so how could there be room for Shanyun Auto?
This is evident in the current automotive market. Even among the best-selling models from [Shanyun Auto], those priced slightly above 200,000 yuan are mostly products in the 200,000 yuan range. And among those priced above 300,000 yuan, only HarmonyOS and [Junxing Auto] achieve monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units.

High-end brands in the new energy vehicle sector must possess unique and superior technologies. This requires competitive core technologies that can continuously lead the market. All of this necessitates substantial R&D investment. Junxing Intelligent R&D Center currently invests over 200 billion yuan annually in intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits. This investment in software alone already exceeds the annual R&D investment of 90% of automakers.

[Shanyun Auto] was almost broke before, but now that it has been delisted, it has received a major investment. However, it is wishful thinking to think it can compete with [Junxing Auto] in terms of investment.

"By the way, batteries, one of the most crucial components of new energy vehicles, account for a very high proportion of the total vehicle cost. Batteries also have a huge demand for lithium mines. Our group is currently investing in mining globally, and lithium mines can be a key focus!"

"Boss, if this matter is left for you to worry about, the company will probably come to a standstill!"

What does that mean? Chen Xiao held a blue and white porcelain cup in one hand, glaring at Zhang Ziqian, his words filled with strong "malice"!
"It means—President Xu has already made arrangements, so you can rest assured—"

Chen Xiao scratched his head. Ah Wu is really capable—he felt like his own intelligence was being wasted!
"Tell me, what other arrangements did A-Wu make?"

Zhang Ziqian knew he was asking about minerals.
"The group has recently invested in several uranium mines in Africa."

铀？

Chen Xiao sat up straight immediately. He knew that this thing was intended to be used as a weapon of mass destruction, and that China was a country with low uranium consumption.

The group has no need for uranium, so Xu Wu's decision to make this arrangement is clearly based on a larger consideration!

"This is a national strategic resource—"

Zhang Ziqian nodded: "Yes, so when the opportunity arose, President Xu invested some! In MALI!"

MALI?

Chen Xiao frowned. He knew that place was one of the top three gold-producing countries in Africa. No wonder A Wu would invest in uranium mines there. Firstly, the uranium resources there were extremely rich, which was a national strategic resource. Secondly, Junxiao Group must have invested in a lot of gold mines there.

"This is a high-risk area!"

MALI, formerly a French colony, was occupied by extremist groups in the 21st century. In recent years, the local government, in alliance with Russia, has driven out the French forces.

Now, mercenaries from the Russian bear have been stationed in many of the country's mining areas!

Chen Xiao stood up, walked to the world map hanging in the office and stared at it for a moment. Zhang Ziqian quietly came to stand beside him.

"Boss, the headquarters of that [Crystal Orchid] organization is also in MALI!"

【Crystal Orchid】, the mercenary organization that is hostile to 【Blue Star Guardians】 and has clashed with 【Blue Star Guardians】 multiple times in South Africa!
Chen Xiao frowned even more: "Have Hassan increase investment here. The [Blue Star Guardians]'s power here is still a bit weak!"

weak?
Zhang Ziqian asked in surprise, "Hassan said that with the power of the Blue Star Guardians in MALI, the Crystal Orchid is nothing to fear!"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, I'm not worried about [Crystal Orchid]. It's just a mercenary organization; we can wipe it out with a wave of our hand."

Zhang Ziqian looked at him in confusion. If the Crystal Orchid organization isn't worried, what is the boss worried about?
"Uranium ore!" Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.

Zhang Ziqian had never seen her boss like this before, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy!

"What's wrong with the uranium mine? The [Blue Star Guardians] are protecting it!"

"Not enough, far from enough!" Chen Xiao gestured with his fingers on the world map, his brows furrowed.
"If it were just some gold mines, it wouldn't have much of an impact. But uranium mines are different. They are international strategic resources, and in critical moments, they will become the focus of great power rivalry. At that time, we won't be facing some local mercenaries and armed forces, but the power of the most powerful countries on Earth!"

Zhang Ziqian exclaimed, realizing Chen Xiao's worry, "No way, they'll get involved?"

"Of course, they won't act openly, but they will act under the guise of mercenaries."

"What should we do?" Zhang Ziqian asked, her face turning pale.
Then, as if to reassure himself, he added, "Oh right, there are Russians guarding this place. Russia has a contract with China; they're responsible for the security of Chinese assets—"

"The Russian bear? In a pinch, they can't be relied on!" Chen Xiao said sarcastically.

"No way, boss, this is a superpower—" Chen Xiao scoffed, "Superpower? It's not all that great, is it? The main thing is, if you look at the history, they're unreliable when it really matters!"

"Inform Hassan to increase investment in MALI, just in case!"

Knock knock knock—

A knock sounded at the door, and Chen Xiao turned around, knowing it must be Qiu Qiaoqiao coming up. Ma Jing had gone to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group today, so she was the only one who could be coming up at this time.

Sure enough, Qiu Qiaoqiao, dressed in a black long dress and looking radiant, walked in: "Boss, Ziqian!"

Chen Xiao stopped discussing MALI with Zhang Ziqian and walked back to the sofa. Seeing Qiu Qiaoqiao reminded him of Zhao Hui and Xu Jun's gathering that evening. He vaguely remembered Zhao Hui mentioning going to the [Zichen Palace] that night, and casually asked, "Qiaoqiao, is the [Zichen Palace] still open?"

She nodded slightly: "Yes, the boss had an accident. But the shop is still being managed by someone."

Chen Xiao nodded: "That boss was quite good at handling things. Now that he's gone, I have no interest in going anymore!"

Qiu Qiaoqiao glanced at him but didn't say anything. When she worked there before, he always said he was there for her, but he never said he was there for the owner of [Zichen Palace].

Chen Xiao glanced at Qiu Qiaoqiao with a keen eye, his old face not blushing at all. He smoothly transitioned to, "Qiaoqiao, I said last time I'd make arrangements for his daughter, have you taken care of it?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao nodded: "I didn't go through the company. My boss was quite protective of me before. I sent his daughter to a prestigious private school!"

"Nonsense!" Chen Xiao strongly disagreed.

He knew that Qiu Qiaoqiao had a high income now, and that she could support the child of the owner of [Zichen Palace] without much pressure. But he still didn't approve of doing it this way!
"Why send them to a prestigious private school? Our own school within the Junxiao Group is a million times better than any of those private schools."

Qiu Qiaoqiao hadn't been there long and wasn't very familiar with the schools under the Junxiao Group. Zhang Ziqian explained, "The boss values ​​education very much. Our Junxiao Group's own schools are for the children of our employees. The facilities are all world-class, and the teachers are all renowned educators from all over the country. If you send your child here, they can receive proper education. The teaching here is tailored to individual needs, which is much better than the exam-oriented education outside!"

"Let's put him in the group and train him properly," Chen Xiao decided.

“I’ll go check on A-Wu—” he said, getting up.

After he left, Zhang Ziqian pouted. Qiu Qiaoqiao asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"President Xu just returned from a business trip, and this time he came back to listen to the summary reports on H1 visas from various business units. He's so busy right now, and yet he still went—"

Qiu Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "No matter how busy he is, it doesn't stop him from going to see President Xu. That's a way of showing concern!"

"Forget it, he can't even wait until evening. He's been talking about President Xu a lot lately!"

what--

Qiu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth slightly, "No way, in broad daylight?"

Zhang Ziqian sighed, "Qiaoqiao, you spend most of your time on the 57th floor. You'll understand when you come up here more often; the boss works day and night on certain tasks!"

Qiu Qiaoqiao blushed slightly, lowered her head, and muttered to herself, "That lecherous scoundrel!"

In the general manager's office on the 58th floor, Xu Wu had just returned from the airport. Her secretary had already brought over the report she was to hear that afternoon, and she planned to take a look at it in advance.

Sitting in her small conference room, she opened the slides and used a laser pointer to turn the pages while sitting on the sofa. She had just finished reading the first page when she heard someone swipe their card to enter!
Besides her, only Chen Xiao has this authority.

Sure enough, as soon as I turned my head, I saw Chen Xiao sneaking over, almost running!
Xu Wu knew him too well. As soon as she saw the mischievous smile on his face, she knew what he was thinking. Her face immediately turned red: "Chen Xiao, I was looking at the meeting minutes this afternoon."

"It won't affect anything, it won't affect anything—"

Chen Xiao walked over with a "lewd" look on his face. Xu Wu was wearing an OL-designed "Starry Night" dress.

"You do your thing, I'll do mine."

Pah!

Even CEO Xu was defeated by his shamelessness, letting him hug and kiss her for a while. He pushed her away, and she leaned her upper body on the conference table, facing the slides on the projector, which showed the content of the meetings over the past two days.

She felt a chill below her, and then Chen Xiao let out an "oh" from behind, as if he had finally gotten what he wanted.

"Awu, look at yourself, don't delay your work~!" Chen Xiao said while burying himself in his work, "encouraging" him to study!
Xu Wu gritted her teeth and endured his impact, angrily saying, "I'm not a wooden person. How am I supposed to look at the documents like this..."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone from the conference table and typed a message: "This afternoon's meeting is canceled; it's rescheduled for tomorrow—"

It took her a full 10 minutes to type those few words and send them out.

Inside the office area of ​​Junxiao Commercial Management, Xu Jun and Zhao Hui were chatting on the sofa.
"President Hui, the report this afternoon will focus on the Junxiao Plaza project starting first, with Junxiao City coming tomorrow."

Zhao Hui said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I've done my homework very carefully!"

Ha ha--

Xu Jun laughed heartily; he wasn't worried at all. Both Zhao Hui and Lin Ya were definitely Chen's own people, and even if something went wrong, President Xu would still save face.

After Junxiao Commercial Management was split into two systems, Junxiao Plaza and Junxiao City, his job as chairman became much easier, and he had more time to discipline his son than before.

Ring ring—

The phone on Xu Jun's desk rang!
He quickly stood up, walking towards the machine as he said, "It should be time to announce the afternoon's report time—"

As he spoke, he picked up the phone: "Hello—, Secretary Cai!"

"The meeting is postponed? Okay, okay, got it!" Xu Jun said, looking confused as he hung up the phone.

"President Hui, the meeting has been postponed to tomorrow. President Xu might be a little tired since he just got back."

Zhao Hui nodded slightly, "In that case, let's go to the restaurant. Mr. Wu and the others should all be here by now!"

Mr. Wu is the one who works under Zhao Hui; he's currently the deputy general manager of Junxiao Plaza's Ningxi region. Back when Xu Jun was the general manager of Jiangzhou Junxiao Plaza, Mr. Wu was the operations manager. (End of Chapter)
