Chapter 817 Face-to-Face Instructions
Cha Lan smiled strangely, "Then, Mr. Nie, shall we drink this glass of wine or not?"
"I'll drink your ass!" Nie Feng initially wanted to refuse. But then he thought about what had just happened, and a wave of unease washed over him!
Forget it, I'll just drink it. I don't want to get cursed because of this! I'll drink it to clear my head!
"Alright, Old Cha, I'll drink this one." He paused, then added, "I didn't mean to look down on you, I just wanted to say a few more words over the drinks—"
Ji Yan, standing beside him, scoffed, "Looking down on our Lao Cha, who do you think you are! You're scared to death by a 2 million yuan order, while our Lao Cha has a balance of 50 billion yuan!"
"You have a strong personality, and I admire that unwillingness to back down. But you won't get ahead in society with that kind of personality. You need to know when to humble yourself—"
Cha Lan chuckled and downed his drink: "President Nie, you're mistaken. When I meet important people, I also perform a 'sliding knee' gesture."
"Damn it, what does this mean? Is he saying he's not a big shot?" Nie Feng's face grew even colder. This old bastard really can't even seize an opportunity!
Seeing that a spark was about to fly between him and Cha Lan, Jiang Lili was afraid that the two would start fighting, so she quickly changed the subject: "Nie Feng, is your business with Zhifei Aerospace all settled?"
Nie Feng waved his hand confidently: "Don't worry, I know the head of marketing at Zhifei Aerospace—it'll just be a matter of putting in a good word!"
After saying that, he turned to Cha Lan and said, "Old Cha, you probably don't understand how much influence the head of Zhifei Aerospace's marketing department has. Let me tell you, if you can get on good terms with him, it's not impossible for you to earn 100 million a year!"
Cha Lan chuckled, "I really didn't know." He was already wondering if giving the marketing department too much power and would need to strengthen the oversight mechanism. Although he trusted Xiao Liu, he couldn't resist the temptations outside. What if he violated principles one day and caused huge losses to the company?
Nie Feng had no idea that his words had put President Liu in such a predicament, and he was still boasting, "Even someone as powerful as President Liu treats me like a brother when we drink together. To be honest, he's not as pretentious as you!"
Cha Lan ignored him for now. It's normal for Xiao Liu not to put on airs.
He has kidney problems, and when he drinks too much, he likes to run to the toilet. He got up to go to the restroom outside, and Ji Yan quickly got up to accompany him. It's rare to find such a wealthy husband, even if he's an old one, she has to take good care of him!
“Chen Xiao, you’re still young. You must never be like Lao Cha in the future—” No sooner had Cha Lan left than Nie Feng began lecturing Chen Xiao again, speaking earnestly as if he were doing this for his own good!
"When you come to me, I'll broaden your horizons and show you how others treat people. You need to associate with capable people; your future success will depend on the kind of people you surround yourself with!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand: "I won't go to your place then—" Not to mention his current status, even back when there was no system, he couldn't stand a boss like Nie Feng!
Nie Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Xiao to refuse. That was a monthly salary of 3 yuan. Even Junxiao Group wouldn't offer a starting salary of 3 yuan as a salesman in Jiangzhou.
Diao Chan was even a little worried for Chen Xiao. Did this simpleton have a grudge against money? Nie Feng was offering a great opportunity—high pay and the chance to collaborate with the nationally renowned Zhifei Aerospace. What a wonderful opportunity! What was he thinking? But having known Chen Xiao for a while, Diao Chan knew he was a very opinionated person. Once he made up his mind, no amount of persuasion from others would change it.
Just like when she advised him to save some money to get married, he deposited all his money into his membership card for Tianchi Hot Spring! So, although she was a little worried for him this time, she didn't try to persuade him.
Nie Feng was somewhat puzzled: "Brother, do you think my company is too small?" His tone didn't imply that he thought his company was small at all; he was being sarcastic.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao nodded and said "Mmm!" This completely baffled Nie Feng. He thought I was too young? How was I too young?
When Diao Chan saw Nie Feng speechless, she almost burst out laughing. Chen Xiao, that guy, he's got a knack for infuriating people!
"Brother, I haven't yet asked which company you work for. I want to see how big it is!"
The previous introduction described Chen Xiao as a salesman, but didn't mention which company he worked for. Given that Ma Jian was a small business owner and Lao Cha was a security guard, and the saying goes that birds of a feather flock together, Chen Xiao's situation was clearly not much better, so subconsciously, he assumed his company wasn't very powerful. On the other hand, his own company, with annual revenue of 5 million, was no small company; he had absolute confidence!
"My company? Oh, you probably already know about it!"
Nie Feng lit another cigarette: "I know all the companies in Jiangzhou that have even a little bit of a reputation. I might even know your boss well. I can put in a good word for you and ask him to look after you!"
"Tell me quickly, which company do you work for?" Nie Feng said, while preparing to flick his cigarette ash!
Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group
hiss--
Jiang Lili and Xiao Ru both looked at Chen Xiao, surprised that Ma Jian's friend had such a good job. Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group—that's the "pearl" of Jiangzhou, even China! It's said that by next year, the company's annual output value will approach one trillion!
"Ah!!" Nie Feng screamed and jumped up. He wasn't scared by Chen Xiao's work, of course; he'd heard "Dr. Feng Technology Group," forgotten to mention his cigarette ash, and froze, causing the ash to fall and burn his inner thigh!
"Damn it, damn it—" He jumped up and ran to the bathroom! It's unclear whether he was checking his "little darling" or trying to cover up his embarrassment!
Jiang Lili glanced at the area with some concern and saw the part of Nie Feng's pants that had been burned. She breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she had avoided the worst spot.
"Chen Xiao, your job is great, keep it up and get promoted and a raise soon!" This was the first time Xiao Ru had sent Chen Xiao her blessings today, and it seemed that her relationship with Ma Jian had taken another step forward.
"Sigh, I never want a promotion in my life, this is just fine!" He was so unwilling to get promoted when he first got the system. Besides, now that his dedication level is so high, a promotion would wipe it all out, he'd be devastated.
Jiang Lili, still somewhat resentful towards Chen Xiao because Nie Feng had almost burned his vital organs, said with a hint of sarcasm, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. No wonder Nie Feng couldn't hire you even with a monthly salary of 3. It turns out it's not just because you have a good job now, but also because you lack ambition!"
After saying that, he continued, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the person next to you and your future family!"
"Oh my god," Diao Chan blurted out instinctively, "Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself—" She and Chen Xiao were just acting in a play, why was she under so much pressure?
"." Jiang Lili was speechless. This woman was so beautiful, she really didn't know what she saw in Chen Xiao, was it just because he was handsome?
Chen Xiao shrugged: "See? I can support myself with the money I earn!"
Ma Jian's lips twitched. "Supporting more than just yourself, supporting tens of millions of people wouldn't be a problem." Jiang Lili rolled her eyes helplessly. "You need to understand that the burden in the future will be very heavy. Buying a good house in Jiangzhou is very expensive!"
"The company provides housing!" Chen Xiao said seriously. Although Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group is Feng Feifei's company, its current benefits are entirely based on the Junxiao Group model. This kind of high-tech company has extremely high profit margins, so it's perfectly affordable!
Huh? Jiang Lili hadn't expected their benefits to be so good; they even provided housing. She didn't know that this "housing allocation" wasn't the kind she understood—only the right to reside, not ownership. Junxiao Group and Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group were genuinely giving their employees a house with full ownership rights!
"Housing is just one of the three new mountains; there's also children's education, which is a huge expense."
"Oh, this was also fully reimbursed by the company."
"..." Jiang Lili was somewhat dazed, wondering if Nie Feng, a boss, might not have an easier life than this guy in the future!
Diao Chan looked at Chen Xiao. She didn't expect that there would be a company with such good benefits. She really regretted not working hard when she was studying. If she could work for a company like this, why would she have started a business? Why would she have to endure the disgust of picking people's feet every day?
Jiang Lili's resolve was nearly shattered. She forcibly dispelled her inner demons, as if advising Chen Xiao and herself alike: "The biggest expense in life is probably medical care."
"They've registered for everything!"
Jiang Lili was speechless this time. She really wanted to ask, "Does your company need any more staff?"
"Oh, right, I also reported all my family members and immediate relatives!" Chen Xiao added casually.
After a long pause, Jiang Lili blurted out, "Holy crap!"
Then she added, "Now I finally understand why this beautiful woman would still choose a salesperson like you. With a job like yours, as long as you don't quit, you'll be set for life!"
"I," Diao Chan instinctively wanted to defend herself, but remembering she was acting, she could only swallow her words. She hadn't asked Chen Xiao about these things at all, and she hadn't considered relying on a man. Fortunately, she'd been wrongly accused more than once or twice, so it didn't matter!
Outside the Xiao Restaurant, a Mercedes-Benz S350 was parked at the entrance. A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a large, imposing physique, got out of the back seat, along with a young man in his thirties.
"Xiao Liu, go park the car. We'll go to the restaurant and order some food later."
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's instructions, driver Xiao Liu quickly replied, "Yes, Mr. Yang!"
"Mr. Liu, come, come, this way please!" After arranging for the driver, the middle-aged man warmly gestured for the young man beside him to enter.
"Mr. Yang, you're too kind. I could have driven myself, but you insisted on picking me up—"
"Of course, of course. Since President Liu has honored us with this opportunity, we should definitely accept it!"
The young man nodded slightly, offering no further politeness. It was clear that his politeness towards this Mr. Yang was merely a formality.
As you step through the revolving door, a beautiful manager immediately approaches with a sweet smile: "Mr. Yang, you've arrived. The air conditioning in the private room is already on, and the temperature is your favorite 26 degrees!"
Mr. Yang immediately looked to his side: "Mr. Liu, is 26 degrees Celsius okay?"
"It's about 28 degrees!"
"Quick, go quickly, set it to 28 degrees!"
The beautiful manager quickly arranged for someone to adjust it, but in her heart she was thinking, "Is this young man weak? In the middle of summer, you're setting it to 28 degrees Celsius, won't he get hot while eating?"
Little did he know that it wasn't the young man who preferred 28 degrees Celsius, but rather that his boss had always preferred 28 degrees Celsius, and he was forcing himself to adapt to this temperature so that he could be on the same wavelength as his boss in some ways!
The beautiful manager strode ahead, leading the two, but in her heart she was thinking—General Manager Yang is in business worth billions, so why is he so respectful to this young man, almost like a sycophant!
Just then, they suddenly heard General Manager Yang ask, "General Manager Liu, what's wrong?"
The beautiful manager turned her head and saw that the young man's face had changed drastically. The next second, he said, "You guys go first, I'll be there in a bit!" and then ran off to the other side!
Mr. Yang looked closely and saw a bald old man in the distance, accompanied by a young woman, heading towards a private room. Mr. Liu was clearly jogging in the direction of that couple! Mr. Yang told the beautiful manager to wait a moment; he also wanted to see who this person was that made Mr. Liu so nervous.
Accompanied by Ji Yan, Cha Lan was almost at the door of the private room when suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, "Boss!"
Huh? "Xiao Liu? What are you doing here?"
"I...I..." Mr. Liu suddenly turned pale. He didn't know if his boss would be unhappy that he was being entertained by a client, or if he would suspect that he was betraying the company's interests.
Seeing Mr. Liu trembling with fear, Ji Yan puffed out her chest, feeling quite imposing in front of Old Cha. Of course, this didn't apply when she was acting as a security guard in the private room!
Cha Lan is a shrewd old fox; he could easily see Liu's worries, but he didn't explain. It was a good thing for his subordinates to maintain a sense of awe!
"Xiao Liu, come here, I have something to tell you."
Ji Yan, being "sensible," stood at a distance and saw Cha Lan whispering something in Xiao Liu's ear. She couldn't hear it, but she could see that Xiao Liu's expression was quite complex, showing both fear and astonishment!
She had no idea that Xiao Liu's expressions would be so varied. That's because she didn't know that the big boss of Junxiao Group was inside. The thought of Xiao Liu treating the Junxiao Group boss like air made him feel like he was going to wet his pants!
After giving his instructions, Cha Lan led Ji Yan back to the private room. "Huh, where's President Nie?"
Ma Jian laughed and said, "He'll go check it out and see if any vital parts are injured!"
Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Nie Feng came in from outside. Seeing his relieved expression, it seemed everything was alright! (End of Chapter)
