Chapter 798 A fight broke out
Luffy originally mentioned "Junxiao Plaza" to curry favor with President Chen, but unexpectedly, he touched on Diao Chan's sore spot.
Now that's happened, I'm too scared to say anything carelessly anymore.
Luffy and Ma Jian both half-closed their eyes and pretended to be dead. Chen Xiao, who was not talkative to begin with, fell silent again.
Luffy and Ma Jiancai pretended to wake up from a dream only after the clock struck midnight.
Qianqian and Sister Juan each wanted to add the two men on WeChat. "Boss—" "Handsome guy—"
"Let's add each other on WeChat. I'll give you a discount when I shop at your store in the future..."
Luffy and Ma Jian weren't sure if they should refuse, but after thinking about it, they decided to add the two of them anyway.
Qianqian and Sister Juan looked at Chen Xiao again, and Chen Xiao waved his hand: "I don't add people on WeChat."
Sister Juan and Qianqian were surprised that this young man on the bicycle was quite arrogant. How did you contact number 8 without adding him on WeChat?
The two women looked at Diao Chan at the same time. Chen Xiao understood what they were thinking and said to Diao Chan, who was wiping his feet, "Don't compare yourself to her. I don't even consider her a human being."
Sister Juan and the other woman smiled slightly, knowing he was joking. Diao Chan, however, angrily pinched Chen Xiao's instep lightly—what kind of person is he!
"I shouldn't have added this extra hour for you. I'm exhausted, and you still have to yell at me like I'm not human," Diao Chan said angrily, standing up and carrying her toolbox as she went out with Qianqian and Sister Juan.
Chen Xiao didn't take it to heart; he knew Diao Chan was joking and wasn't really angry.
He turned to Ma Jian and asked, "How's the company doing lately?"
Besides its own snack brand, Dongjian Trading also distributes tea beverages and runs a general store. Last time I was back, Ma Jian told me they'd found some R&D personnel and experts in the domestic tea beverage industry to create their own tea drink.
With only a few people left, Ma Jian finally relaxed. "Everything is going smoothly. We now have 25 branches nationwide. In some provinces where the economy isn't doing so well, we only have one branch for each of the two provinces. We've also recently made adjustments, setting up four major regions. I manage four regional managers, who in turn manage their respective regions, which makes things much easier for me."
Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Yes, focus on the big picture. Now that everything is stable, go back and visit your uncle and aunt more often. Also, you should find someone suitable soon; the old folks are getting old and want their grandson."
If anyone else had said that, Ma Jian would definitely have been unhappy. But Chen Xiao's words warmed his heart. He felt that Chen Xiao, despite his current status, still treated him like a brother. Overwhelmed with emotion, and remembering Huang Ju's incident from a while ago, he said apologetically, "Boss, Huang Ju."
Chen Xiao interrupted him, "It's all in the past. I was the one who requested how Luffy was dealt with last time, so don't blame him."
Luffy, who was standing to the side, almost kowtowed to Chen Xiao.
He'd always felt bad about that matter with Ma Jian. After all, he was able to work for President Chen now thanks to Ma Jian, his boss.
Ma Jian replied repeatedly, "No, no. Last time, I asked Luffy to arrange for her to be a regional manager in Qin Province as her last chance. I didn't expect that now that she has some status, she would be so heartless and cold-blooded towards her employees."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "That's how some people are. Once they have a better life, they forget their former social class and the path they came from."
Speaking of this, I can't help but recall Xiangjun's discussion with me about how to educate our son in the future.
Ma Jian, oblivious to Chen Xiao's distraction, continued, "Boss, I'm planning to go back to Laiwu tomorrow..."
Because he was developing the national market, he had been away from home for almost the past six months. He hadn't been back to Laiwu, and he had only been back to Jiangzhou a handful of times! He hadn't seen his parents for six months and wanted to go back to visit them.
"Old Lu has been away a lot lately. Hasn't he been back to Ningxi in a long time?"
When Luffy first heard Chen Xiao inquire about his family, he felt even more strongly that Chen Xiao considered him one of his own, and he felt a deep sense of loyalty, like the saying "a scholar would die for one who understands him." Luckily, Chen Xiao didn't know this, otherwise he would definitely have called him crazy; it was just a casual question.
"Ah, Mr. Chen, my parents passed away a long time ago. One of my daughters is studying at a university in Beijing, and her mother is accompanying her in Ningxi. I don't have any close relatives here anymore, and I didn't go back to see her very often before."
"Old Lu, your daughter is already in college?" Chen Xiao asked in surprise.
Luffy's only regret was that his daughter inherited his looks; she was plain-looking and didn't meet Mr. Chen's standards. Otherwise, he would definitely have brought her back to show him.
Chen Xiao casually picked up his phone and said to Zhang Ziqian, "I remember when you bought houses for Qin Yaling and the others on Guozijian Street in the capital, you invested in a few courtyard houses, right?"
After receiving confirmation, I nodded and said, "Pick one set for Luffy's daughter. She's graduating from university soon. Consider it a coming-of-age gift from me as her elder."
what--
Luffy exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Chen, this is far too valuable!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand, "That's settled then, a few hundred million, is it a matter of money?"
After saying that, he turned to Ma Jian and said, "I won't give you yours for now. I'll give you one when you find a girlfriend, so you can be neighbors with Lao Lu."
Ma Jian laughed heartily: "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll hurry up and find one; it's a much faster way to make money than opening a shop!"
Despite his current wealth, he still cherishes courtyard houses on Guozijian Street in Beijing. Of course, he wouldn't settle for just any partner for the sake of owning a courtyard house.
Chen Xiao knew him well, and upon hearing this, she glanced thoughtfully at Ma Jian: "Judging from your tone, you've already found someone to target?"
Ma Jian scratched his head: "I do have one, but I don't know if the other party will be willing."
"You rascal, it looks like you've really met someone you like. Bring her to me and Xiangjun so we can give you our opinion!"
After waiting a while without receiving a response, he turned his head and found Ma Jian looking troubled. He was immediately puzzled, "What's wrong? Can't get anyone to agree to meet?"
"Boss, I want to wait until we've confirmed our relationship before I introduce her to you and Sister-in-law Xiangjun."
What do you mean?
Chen Xiao looked at him intently and noticed that Ma Jian's gaze was somewhat evasive, and immediately understood.
"Damn it, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm a pervert who steals my brother's woman?"
Ma Jian quickly explained, "Boss, boss. I didn't suspect you."
Chen Xiao just stared at him without saying a word. After all this, you still say you don't suspect me?
"Boss, it's mainly because you're too charming. I'm afraid she'll fall for you, and then I'll be in big trouble..."
"Get lost—" Chen Xiao glared at him irritably. "I believe you," but she didn't argue with him.
Ma Jian said urgently, "Boss, I'm serious. Think about it, you're the boss of Junxiao Group, how many women can resist temptation?"
Originally, if he hadn't explained, Chen Xiao would have let the matter drop. But after he said that, Chen Xiao immediately got angry: "Why the hell don't introduce me? Just say I'm your classmate, a salesman, is that not okay?"
Ah— Ma Jian was dumbfounded. What he said made sense. Why hadn't he thought of that before?
"Well, I brought this back from my hometown to show you—"
"Take it or leave it, do you think I want to see it?" Chen Xiao said irritably, taking a sip of water and then slamming the bottle down on the coffee table.
Ma Jian turned pale with fright and stared at Chen Xiao, too scared to speak.
Chen Xiao sat up. "Let's go, what a downer—"
Luffy stood to the side, not daring to utter a word. Don't let President Chen's usual amiable demeanor and treating everyone like family fool you; when he gets angry, he's quite frightening.
Seeing Chen Xiao leave, Luffy and Ma Jian quickly got off and followed five steps behind. They dared not get too close, nor dared to stray too far.
Chen Xiao was in a bad mood. As she walked to the corner ahead, she suddenly saw Sister Juan walking towards her. She was carrying a toolbox, probably getting ready to start her shift. There was a private room next to her.
When Sister Juan saw Chen Xiao, she greeted him, "Have you left?"
Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "Mm—"
At that moment, he walked over to Sister Juan's side. As soon as the door to the private room opened, he subconsciously glanced inside. Lying on the sofa chair directly opposite the door was none other than the bald Boss Gao!
When General Manager Gao heard the door open, he looked over and saw Chen Xiao. His expression immediately changed. He instinctively blurted out, "Holy crap!"
Chen Xiao was already annoyed, and when he heard him swear, he immediately cursed back, "You son of a bitch, you think I won't punch you?!"
Mr. Gao shrank back, remembering the man's two burly friends, and immediately fell silent.
Only after Chen Xiao left did he shout from behind, "You bastard Chen, just you wait and see how I deal with you!"
The words had barely left his mouth when figures suddenly appeared at the door. Mr. Gao's heart skipped a beat, thinking Chen Xiao had returned. But when he realized it wasn't Chen Xiao, it was two unfamiliar faces: a tall young man of about 30 and a middle-aged, overweight man nearing 50.
He was initially relieved, but then he noticed that the two men were looking at him with the same eyes that hungry wolves had seen a sheep.
Before he could react, the two men pounced on him like two streaks of yellow lightning (in yellow bathrobes).
"Ouch—!" he screamed, before the word "ah" could even leave his lips. His two friends next to him were also completely unaware of what had happened.
Sister Juan only saw a flash before her eyes, and two people she knew, Chen Xiao's two friends, the two friends who did "small business," jumped onto Boss Gao's sofa. One grabbed his neck, and the other sat on Boss Gao's stomach. The two of them started punching each other.
"Holy crap—!" Gao's two friends jumped off the sofa to help.
Sister Juan and the two technicians were terrified. Sister Juan was the only one who knew Ma Jian and Lu Fei, and she tried to break up the fight, saying, "Mr. Ma, Mr. Lu, don't fight! The company security is coming soon!"
Ma Jian kicked away one of Mr. Gao's friends who rushed at him, then slapped Mr. Gao across the face, cursing, "So what if the security guards are here? I'll not only beat this bastard up, but if you piss me off, I'll smash this whole place up!"
Mr. Gao's face was swollen, pinned down, and he couldn't move. He desperately tried to turn his face to the side, shouting, "I'm a friend of the owner here, and the owner works for Junxiao Group..."
He shouted it out with all his might, thinking that if he mentioned "Junxiao Group," who would dare to disrespect him? This name could definitely stop a child from crying!
Unfortunately, he really called on the wrong god this time. You insulted the boss of Junxiao Group in front of the boss's brother, and you even said that the owner of this place was from Junxiao Group? If you don't get beaten up, who will?
Mr. Gao was beaten so badly that he was foaming at the mouth.
His two friends tried to approach him several times, but were beaten back each time. Ma Jian was burly and skilled in fighting. Luffy wasn't exactly a saint in his youth either; he was a brawler. Gao's group of men all looked like they'd been drained by alcohol and women; they were no match for the two of them.
Sister Juan and the other technicians were at their wits' end. Some went out to call security, while others called the manager. It was at this moment that Sister Juan sent a message to Diao Chan: "Diao Chan, your customer's two friends almost beat Boss Gao to death!"
Technician's Room
Diao Chan sat on a single sofa, scrolling through her phone. She seemed oblivious to the murmurs coming from the technicians' room.
"Hey, they even added extra hours today, the 8th!"
"Really? Which guest is so influential? Which big boss is he?"
"What big boss? Even with all that money, Mr. Liang couldn't win her heart. I heard he's just an office worker, a young man, quite handsome! Hmm, he probably has some money too; I heard he won hundreds of thousands at the card room!"
"Oh, that's not bad either. Although he's not as good as a rich older man, the key is that he's handsome!"
"You usually seem quite arrogant, as if there's absolutely no one in the world who would make an exception for you. Haha!"
Just then, Diao Chan, who had been scrolling through her phone, suddenly stood up from the sofa. The people who were discussing her felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had been put on pause.
Diao Chan was a head taller than them, and they were really afraid of being beaten.
However, Diao Chan clearly didn't intend to hit them; instead, she quickly walked out, even jogging a little.
She was very anxious. She hadn't even had time to read Juan's message a second time; she had mistaken "your guest's two friends" for "your guest and two friends."
Chen Xiao's problem stemmed from a conflict between Chen Xiao and General Manager Gao. Chen Xiao had gotten into a fight with General Manager Gao, which was a serious offense. Given General Manager Gao's wealth and power, Chen Xiao would undoubtedly seek revenge later. In that case, Chen Xiao would be harming General Manager Gao.
Ma Jian and Luffy were having a great time fighting in the private room, and the two of them had a clear division of labor.
While one of Gao Zong's two friends was below, Luffy picked up a slipper from the ground and shoved it into Gao Zong's mouth when he yelled, then slapped Gao Zong so hard his head turned into a pig's head.
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a sharp shout rang out: "Stop!"
Ma Jian and Luffy looked back and instinctively obeyed. Diao Chan seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Xiao, so they stopped.
Diao Chan looked around for Chen Xiao but couldn't find him. Then she looked at Sister Juan and asked, "Where's Chen Xiao?"
Sister Juan shook her head: "He's gone!"
Diao Chan then realized that she had worried too much, and said that Chen Xiao was not such a reckless person.
Turning to Ma Jian and Luffy, he said, "How could you be so reckless? What if you hurt someone? You'll go to jail!"
Ma Jian wiped his hands on his clothes: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Let the security guards take this guy to the hospital, I'll cover the cost." (End of Chapter)
