Chapter 775
Does he know how to praise people?
Wu Hao was a bit overwhelmed; this President Chang really did things in unexpected ways.
Knowing that he wanted to intimidate the Lin family first by bringing in the leaders of the High-tech Zone.
Of course, it also had the implication of introducing Boss Chang to them, for fear that the people inside might not know Boss Chang's identity and might slight him.
But would Mr. Lin care about Boss Chang?
Wu Hao followed Boss Chang into the private room, and when he saw the people inside, he was shocked!
Sure enough, that incredibly beautiful young woman was undoubtedly Lin Ya, the chairman of Junxiao City. But she was sitting to the left of a young man. Who was that man?
Judging from their appearance, he guessed they were probably Lin Ya's boyfriend or something. But who could be Lin Ya's boyfriend?
At this moment, everyone in the private room looked over. The young man had a smile on his face and slowly got up with Lin Ya.
But at that moment, Boss Chang suddenly cried out in surprise, "Ah!"
His expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward: "Hello, Ms. Lin!"
Instead of greeting Lin Jian, who was in the main seat, she couldn't help but step forward and say hello to Lin Ya, her heart pounding: "How is it her? How is it Chairman Lin Ya?"
Mr. Chang was a little confused. How did his usually aloof second uncle suddenly turn into a sycophant?
Look at that forced smile on his face, it's so fake it's disgusting!
Lin Ya smiled and nodded at him, "Hello, Boss Chang!" This was mainly out of respect for Boss Chang's platform.
"Today is a family dinner, a get-together with my father and brother, I didn't expect it to involve the leaders—", the "leaders" was a respectful title. Boss Chang wouldn't dare act like a leader in front of her.
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind!" Mr. Chang's heart was in turmoil.
A family dinner? He glanced at Lin Jian and Lin Ping, and finally understood why Deng Wei had been blacklisted everywhere. If this was the one behind it, then it wasn't surprising.
Although she is only the chairman of Junxiao City, her influence within the Junxiao Group is absolutely not to be underestimated.
With Mr. Chang looking completely bewildered, he quickly introduced, "This is Mr. Lin, the chairman of Junxiaocheng. Please come over here."
President Chang was almost scared to death—
Jun Xiaocheng?
Junxiao Group —
This is a legend in Jiangzhou. As someone who makes a living in Jiangzhou, how could he not know how terrifying this group is?
Lin Jian of Lifan Commercial Management is actually Lin Ya's father! My God, how many lives do I need to steal their business?
His legs were trembling, and his lips were trembling: "President Lin!"
His eyes darted around, not daring to look at Lin Ya for long. He glanced at Lin Jian out of the corner of his eye, his eyes pleading, "Sir, say something, I was wrong!"
Lin Ya had no idea of the complex emotions swirling within him. She nodded and introduced Chen Xiao to the group: "This is President Chen—"
Chen Xiao gave a gentle smile and extended her hand to Boss Chang: "Hello, I'm Chen Xiao—"
Who?
Boss Chang's eyes widened suddenly, his pupils almost bursting!
Outsiders might not know the name of the owner of Junxiao Group, but given his status and location in Jiangzhou, how could he not know Chen Xiao? It's just that he's only known by name, never seen in person.
I heard that when the big boss of Hanjiang goes to Junxiao Group, he always looks for General Manager Xu Wu; General Manager Chen never shows up.
Boss Chang never expected to encounter such a true god today—
He quickly extended both hands to shake hands with Chen Xiao, thinking to himself, "Am I the first person in Jiangzhou to shake hands with President Chen? Should I not wash my hands for three months?"
Mr. Chang didn't know who Chen Xiao was, but seeing his second uncle's obsequious and sycophantic manner, he immediately knew that this person's identity was definitely extraordinary.
Wu Hao's mind went blank. He understood, he understood everything!
So Lin Ya was actually Mr. Chen's woman from Junxiao Group. No wonder—
Goodness, Lin Jian was so unassuming before. Luckily, I found out that his daughter was CEO Lin and gave him the project. Otherwise, I would have been wasting my whole life!
"Wu Hao, Wu Hao!" Boss Chang shouted at him.
He snapped out of his panic and realized that President Chen had reached out his hand to him, but he had been so lost in thought that he hadn't taken it.
His heart skipped a beat, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down! Fortunately, he was a man of status, and his mind was strong enough that he barely managed to hold on. He stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Xiao, saying with admiration, "Mr. Chen, hello!"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly, touched his hand briefly, and then withdrew it.
After exchanging greetings with Wu Hao and Boss Chang, Lin Jian looked at President Chang and said, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon!"
Chen Xiao asked curiously, "Uncle Lin, do you know him too?"
Lin Jian laughed heartily: "We're all in the same industry. President Chang is also following up on the [Lake and Sea Gathering] project—"
President Chang let out a cry of surprise, his face turning deathly pale.
"No, no. Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand. I'm giving up on this project, I'm giving it up!" He was so frightened he almost jumped up.
I'm not afraid to make money from anything, why would I compete with you for projects? I'm afraid I might make the money but not live to spend it!
Lin Jian smiled, of course he knew why President Chang was reacting so strongly. However, he was also being a bit presumptuous. "Are you afraid I'll steal it?" he thought. "The point is, can you even steal it?"
Chen Xiao turned to look at Wu Hao and President Chang: "It's fair competition, why give up, right?"
After saying this, he raised his glass, exchanged a few words with the others, and took a small sip.
Even so, Boss Chang and his companions were flattered and overwhelmed.
Mr. Chang took a sip of wine to calm his nerves. Fair competition? There's no such thing as fairness in this world.
As the group emerged from the private room, General Manager Chang forced himself to return to his own room, where he slumped into a chair and exclaimed, "My god, this [Lifan Commercial Management] has such a powerful background!"
Boss Chang and Wu Hao were still in shock when they ran into the boss of Junxiao Group. Anyone would be confused in that situation.
At this moment, General Manager Chang screamed again: "General Manager Wu, General Manager Wu, I'm not doing this project anymore. I appreciate your kindness, but I really won't do it!"
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, then realized that this guy really thought he had given him the project?
He had originally intended to offend Boss Chang, but now that you've voluntarily given up, that's even better. He then feigned regret and said, "Boss Chang, this?"
Then he turned to Boss Chang and said, "Boss, I can actually do it on my end."
Boss Chang waved his hand: "What can he do? He's good at messing around and doing small projects. He's not qualified for such important projects. [Lifan Commercial Management] is better. With a professional team, they will definitely be able to make [Huhaihui] a landmark in the vocational education city area."
Wu Hao glanced at him. He had called him that morning and said, "You still need to work on local projects to truly appreciate the local characteristics."
If I didn't know him, I would have thought I received a scam call this morning. This person changes too quickly.
After they left, Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Xiaoya, don't be too harsh on your family in the future. On matters that don't affect principles, you should still make things convenient for them." Lin Jian looked at his daughter, then at his son-in-law. He was grinning from ear to ear. With his son-in-law backing him up, his daughter wouldn't dare to use grand principles to pressure him anymore.
Lin Ping's eyes also gleamed with hope as he pondered whether he could bypass his sister and go directly to his brother-in-law if anything happened in the future. It felt like a "strict sister, kind brother-in-law" relationship!
As if it were a hint from heaven, just as he thought of his brother-in-law, his brother-in-law also mentioned him.
“Lin Ping has been training at the store for a while now, so don’t let him work his way up from the bottom. Arrange a project manager position for him to gain experience.”
Lin Ping was overjoyed and immediately looked up at her sister. Her sister still needed to speak on this matter, but would she agree?
Lin Ya hesitated for a moment, "Such an important position, he's not up to it, is he?"
Lin Ping rolled his eyes in anger. Important? How important? A project manager? What's so important about that to a chairman like you?
Fortunately, her brother-in-law was supportive. Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's alright, it's just a project. Let him get some experience. I agree with you letting him start from the bottom. However, in a family like ours, the bottom line should start from the project manager."
Long live!
Lin Ping knew that as long as his brother-in-law persisted, the matter would be settled. Sure enough, Lin Ya fell silent. Seeing this, Lin Jian scolded Lin Ping, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to thank your brother-in-law?"
He quickly refilled his glass and went to Chen Xiao, saying, "Brother-in-law—"
Chen Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Seize the opportunity and do a good job. I hope you can take over your sister's position soon. Haha!"
After he finished speaking, he winked at Lin Ya.
Lin Ping and Lin Jian didn't understand, but Lin Ya immediately grasped the meaning. The two had joked before that Chen Xiao had asked her to train Lin Ping so that she could stay home and play with him while he had children.
He scratched his head: "Brother-in-law, I'm afraid I don't have your abilities!"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily, "What abilities? Many people's abilities are only revealed when they have a platform. Take me for example, what abilities do you think I have?"
what--
Lin Ping's mind went blank for a moment. He was usually quite good at flattery, but at this moment he couldn't think of a single word.
Perhaps his brother-in-law's image was too illustrious and imposing, leaving him at a loss for words! He silently comforted himself, casually offering a flattering remark: "Brother-in-law, you're amazing—"
Before Chen Xiao could ask any further questions, he continued, "What others take 24 hours to finish, you can do in one day!"
Chen Xiao's smile froze instantly—
Is this kid deliberately trying to sabotage me? I told you before that you'd matured, but when we met, you said I "came to dinner in person."
I'm praising your abilities and expressing high hopes for your future, and this is how you flatter me?
Lin Ya was so angry she almost took off her high heels and threw them at his face! Lin Jian, meanwhile, forgot to swallow the food he had just put in his mouth and stared at his son with his mouth open.
Isn't it said that like father, like son? I've built a great reputation, how come I gave birth to a bastard?
Chen Xiao forced a smile, it was truly excruciating to hold it in. He gently patted Lin Ping's shoulder again and said to Lin Ya, "Since this is training, there should be rewards and punishments—"
"As for the reward, the Lamborghini has already been given in advance. If his KPI performance this year doesn't rank in the top 10 within the Junxiao City system, he'll be punished by having to sell pork at the Junxiao Supermarket for a year!"
what--
Lin Ping's vision went black, and he finally understood what it meant to "make trouble out of your own mouth"!
Neither Lin Ya nor Lin Jian spoke up for him. "Serves him right!"
Lin Ping returned to his seat dejectedly, only to hear Lin Ya say, "If one year isn't enough, we'll confiscate his Lamborghini. Why should he get a bonus if he doesn't meet his KPIs?"
this--
Lin Ping looked resentful. "Are you sure she's my real sister?"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily. What's wrong with that? Right now, making Lin Ping unhappy makes him very happy! Lin Ya understands him; it wasn't for nothing that he pampered her this afternoon.
Seeing Lin Ping looking like a wilted eggplant, Lin Jian kicked him in annoyance.
Is this guy stupid? Chen Xiao and Lin Ya are just joking with him. Meeting that KPI isn't that difficult, is it? Lin Ya could just give him more resources, or go easy on him when setting the KPI, right?
After finishing his meal, Chen Xiao left alone, leaving Lin Ya to chat privately with her father and younger brother.
Inside the presidential suite of Junxiao Lakeside Hotel:
Lin Jian was in high spirits: "Xiao Ya, your life now is even better than that of an ancient emperor!"
Seeing his daughter's current life, Lin Jian was deeply gratified. He hadn't expected that she would start benefiting from his daughter's success so quickly. Moreover, judging from Chen Xiao's tone, he was happy for his daughter to mentor his family.
Lin Ping leaned closer: "It's a pity, I feel my life still hasn't reached the standard of the Emperor's brother-in-law—"
"Get lost!!" Lin Jian stood up and kicked him.
"You call yourself the Emperor's brother-in-law?" Lin Ping was so badly beaten that he covered his head and ran away to his room.
After he left, Lin Jian straightened his expression and gestured for Lin Ya to sit down: "Xiao Ya, life in a wealthy family is very complicated, you have to be careful!"
The daughter has no official status and lives with Chen Xiao. In a family like his, if the "official wife" causes trouble, Lin Ya's life will be very difficult.
Lin Ya knew his worries and poured her father a cup of tea. She sat down beside him, holding the porcelain cup, and smiled happily: "Dad, don't worry. Sister Xiangjun is an extremely good woman. With her around, no one in this family will bully anyone. Even if there is jealousy or rivalry, they won't dare to do it openly."
Lin Jian shook his head: "Don't be too optimistic. Chen Xiao has so many women, how can Zhao Xiangjun possibly keep them all in check? There are many interests to balance, otherwise she will become the target of everyone's attacks. She won't have time to look after anything else, so how can she protect you?"
*Pfft*
Lin Ya laughed out loud, looking at Lin Jian's worried face: "Dad, you don't understand Chen Xiao. He's a womanizer yet devoted, gentle yet cold!"
What the hell? Playing with dialectics? Lin Jian waited for Lin Ya's explanation.
"Chen Xiao has many women; he's quite the womanizer. But all of them combined don't compare to Zhao Xiangjun's place in his heart, not even close. And, in my opinion, that won't change."
As for being both gentle and ruthless, he reserved his gentleness for his own people, and mostly for Zhao Xiangjun. His ruthlessness was directed at his enemies; anyone who dared to harm Zhao Xiangjun was his greatest enemy, regardless of who they were.
Lin Jian looked at his daughter in disbelief, "That's really strange!"
Lin Ya laughed: "If you want to call him a pervert, you can just say so!" (End of Chapter)
