Chen Xiao was driving the Jetta he had bought from the second-hand market, moving forward at a snail's pace in the traffic without any rush.
be late?
That's for sure. It was already past nine when he got up...
But he didn't care, because he was late for work almost every day during the month he started working.
Chen Xiao pulled a bag of buns from the passenger seat and put a bun in his mouth. It was extremely delicious. Chen Xiao squinted his eyes slightly with a very comfortable expression.
"Ding ding ding…"
The monotonous phone ringtone rang, Chen Xiao lazily picked up the phone, glanced at the phone number, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Jin'er, how come you have time to call me? Don't you have to go on a mission?"
"Boss, I missed you." A playful voice came from the phone, and the voice reminded people of a beautiful girl. "It's just a small mission. There's still some time before the mission starts. I'm so bored... Boss, what are you doing?"
"On the way to work." Chen Xiao laughed heartily, but his expression suddenly became unusually serious. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp gaze like a blade: "Don't be careless just because the mission is simple. Any carelessness may cost you your life..."
In just a moment, the originally lazy Chen Xiao seemed to have suddenly turned into a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, his edge fully exposed, and a terrifying aura that made people's heart palpitate was emanating from his whole body.
"Don't worry, Boss. We know our limits. We will never forget your teachings."
Hearing Leopard's familiar address to him, Chen Xiao's expression was dazed for a moment: "I am no longer your boss..."
"Hey, even though you've left Tianlang, in our hearts, you'll always be our boss."
Chen Xiao was silent and didn't say anything, his expression seemed to be lost in memories.
"Boss, I heard that you got married. When can we meet your sister-in-law? She must be very beautiful and virtuous, right?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little weaker, and seemed to reveal a hint of resentment.
sister in law?
Chen Xiao showed a bitter smile on his face, and his mind suddenly emerged the cold face of his wife Mu Qingshuang when he first met her. She was clearly standing in front of him, but she gave people a sense of distance as if they were thousands of miles apart.
Later, Chen Xiao learned from Mu Zhongjie that Mu Qingshuang had lost her memory of that period and probably didn't know who she was.
Mu Zhongjie originally wanted to tell Mu Qingshuang about the incident, but was persuaded by Chen Xiao. The memory of that time was too painful for her, so she decided to keep the secret for the rest of her life.
"Okay, you can come to Jianghai when you are free to see her. She is indeed very beautiful and quite famous throughout Jianghai." Chen Xiao shook his head, threw the image of his wife Mu Qingshuang out of his mind, and laughed heartily.
"Oh!" Jin Er cheered over there: "Boss, this is what you said, you can't regret it!"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily: "When have I ever regretted what I said?"
Jin Er seemed to let out a long sigh of relief: "Hehe, then we are relieved. Okay, I will hang up first and prepare for the mission."
"Okay, be careful!" Chen Xiao reminded subconsciously.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Chen Xiao's face slowly disappeared, and along with it, the terrifying and violent aura like a ferocious beast also disappeared, and was replaced by a bitter smile.
Originally, Chen Xiao had decided that since Mu Qingshuang didn't want to, they should just go their separate ways, letting life be life and gratitude be gratitude. Perhaps in two years, the old man would change his mind. But then Mu Zhongjie invited Chen Xiao back home for a drink. Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, realizing that his plan wouldn't work out, as Mu Zhongjie had asked him to join the Mu Group to look after Mu Qingshuang.
"Xiao Chen, I'm not in good health right now. She's been running such a big company at such a young age. She's been exhausted these past few years. I see it with my own eyes, and it hurts my heart. Besides, the shareholders in the company are all very shrewd. I could still help take care of them in the past few years, but I'm going to be old in a few years, and I'm afraid they'll become even more troublesome. I'm worried that Xiao Shuang will suffer. You are her husband, you have to help her..."
Faced with Mu Zhongjie who was almost crying and telling his story, Chen Xiao had no choice but to agree. What Mu Zhongjie said was right. No matter what their relationship was like, Mu Qingshuang was indeed his wife. How could his wife be bullied by others?
After much difficulty, he finally rejected Mu Zhongjie's plan to have Chen Xiao directly declare his identity and join the company. Instead, he worked as an ordinary employee. Firstly, Chen Xiao believed that he was not cut out for business. Secondly, if he joined the company with the label of the CEO's husband, he would not only be looked at with strange eyes, but also be guarded by those with ulterior motives. On the contrary, if he worked as an ordinary employee, he would be able to get in touch with many things and understand more...
Chen Xiao's car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the Mu Group Building under the envious gaze of the security guard. This building belongs to the Mu Group. In this prosperous commercial area, such a building is worth a lot of money and is enough for many companies to work together. However, this building is only for the use of the Mu Group itself and is not rented out. This shows the strength of the Mu Group.
Moos Group.
The online sales department is located on the tenth floor.
Chen Xiao walked out of the elevator and headed towards Section 6 of the Sales Department. After a few steps, Chen Xiao stopped and turned his head to look at a nearby passage.
Wu Yi, the head of the sixth sales department, stood in front of Ye Xiaojia with a sincere expression: "Xiaojia, you know I am sincere to you, why don't you consider it?"
"Section Chief, I've only just joined the company. I just want to work hard and achieve results as quickly as possible. I haven't considered any emotional issues for now..."
Wu Yi frowned and continued to persuade her earnestly, "It's good that you have this mentality, but love and work don't conflict. Besides, I'm the head of a department after all, and you know that my uncle is a shareholder of the group. If you stay with me, it will be very good for your future development..."
Ye Xiaojia shook her head, apparently unmoved: "Section Chief, I'm still young, and I really don't want to think about emotional issues for the time being..."
Wu Yi was a little impatient and was going to force himself on Ye Xiaojia, so he reached out to grab her chest.
Caught off guard, Ye Xiaojia felt a big hand firmly covering her chest. Ye Xiaojia was only wearing a work T-shirt, and the thin clothing made the touch on her chest even more obvious.
Ye Xiaojia took two steps back in horror, and a blush appeared on her face.
Wu Yi, who was freed, showed an evil smile, not caring about Ye Xiaojia's reaction at all, and put his right hand close to his nose and sniffed it.
"What a strong milky aroma." Just as Wu Yi was about to continue, a voice came from a distance.
"Oh, is this a confession scene? It's really eye-opening."
A clearly mocking voice rang out. Chen Xiao walked over slowly with his hands folded, and smiled at Wu Yi: "Section Chief, she's a girl. Can't you, a grown man, be a little gentler? You even extended your hand. Could it be that your confession failed and you're going to use force?"
Ye Xiaojia, who had already felt extremely aggrieved, threw herself into Chen Xiao's arms and cried uncontrollably the moment she saw Chen Xiao's face clearly.
"Okay, Xiaojia, cry as much as you want. With Brother Chen here, you won't be bullied anymore." Chen Xiao slowly comforted Ye Xiaojia while suppressing the extreme anger in his heart. His eyes were like swords and he stared straight at Wu Yi, "You touched her?!"
"I, I..." Wu Yi, somewhat frightened by Chen Xiao's terrifying gaze, stuttered for a few words before jumping up and down and shouting, "Chen Xiao, I know you have someone above you. But I advise you to stop meddling in other people's business!"
"Don't say any more nonsense. I know what kind of person you are." After interrupting Wu Yi coldly, Chen Xiao's pupils shrank slightly. While retorting to Wu Yi on behalf of Ye Xiaojia, Chen Xiao picked up a chair nearby and, under the gaze of all colleagues from Section 6 of the Internet Sales Department, smashed it directly into Wu Yi's face without any hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Wu Yi was hit three times in a row by Chen Xiao and was directly smashed into a pig's head. Not only did he not have the strength to fight back, he didn't even have time to scream before he fainted from the pain.
…
An hour later, Wu Yi returned to his office with a pig-faced expression. Although he, as the section chief, had been beaten by a small clerk, he had no way to stop it. His uncle told him that Chen Xiao seemed to have a strong background and that he had been stopped several times before in his attempts to fire him.
His uncle is a shareholder of the group. Although he doesn't hold many shares, even his uncle doesn't know his background, which only shows that Chen Xiao is not easy to mess with.
As soon as I returned to the office, I saw employee Liu Bing waiting for me.
"What's the matter?" Wu Yi frowned and sat down on his leather chair.
Liu Bing saw Wu Yi's face and held back his laughter. He carefully handed over a folder: "Chief, this is the payment details for this month..."
Wu Yi hummed, took it and opened it, and asked casually: "Is there any problem with the payment?"
Liu Bing shook his head: "Everything else is fine, but I'm afraid I can't get the money back from Changhong. Mr. Zhu is too cruel. The man we went to collect the debt from is still in the hospital..."
"The two million owed by Changhong Company?"
Wu Yi raised his head, and there was suddenly some inexplicable excitement in his eyes: "Okay, I understand, you can go out. By the way, please help me call Ye Xiaojia in."
…
"Brother Chen, thank you for what you did just now!"
Ye Xiaojia sat in her seat, looking up to thank Chen Xiao, who was leaning against her office cubicle with a nonchalant look.
Chen Xiao grinned and waved his hand casually: "It's a small matter. Since you call me Brother Chen, how can I not help you with this kind of thing? What's more, every man is willing to help with this kind of thing. It's like a hero saving a damsel in distress..."
Ye Xiaojia smiled gently, but the smile was bitter: "Men all love beautiful women, but not everyone has the courage to be a knight fighting a dragon..."
"Knight?"
Chen Xiao grinned and took the name without any modesty: "I like this name..."
Chen Xiao's voice suddenly paused, because he was standing and Ye Xiaojia was sitting. The top button of Ye Xiaojia's T-shirt was not buttoned. Looking from above, one could clearly see two snow-white semicircles and the half-exposed black bra.
Ye Xiaojia heard Chen Xiao's voice suddenly pause, but there was no sound for a while. She raised her head curiously, and when she looked up, she saw Chen Xiao's lustful eyes...
Ye Xiaojia suddenly woke up, coughed twice, and subconsciously leaned back.
Chen Xiao suddenly woke up and saw Ye Xiaojia's obvious avoidance. He felt a little embarrassed and laughed, "Ah, I suddenly felt hungry and my mind wandered..."
Ye Xiaojia was very shy, but she didn't feel angry at all. This made her wonder if she had fallen in love with him. Otherwise, why was she like this?
If Wu Yi looked at me like this, I would feel only extreme disgust, but...
Just as the two of them were feeling rather awkward, Liu Bing from the same department walked out of the section chief's office and came to Ye Xiaojia's desk: "Ye Xiaojia, the section chief wants you to come in."
Ye Xiaojia said "oh" with a look of doubt on her face, and her eyes involuntarily looked towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao crossed his arms and lazily walked back to the desk next to Ye Xiaojia. He sat down and said with a smile, "Go ahead. If he makes a move, just slap him in the face. This is the company, it's okay."
Ye Xiaojia hummed a sigh of relief, and inexplicably felt at ease. She stood up and walked towards the section chief's office. When Liu Bing, the messenger, heard Chen Xiao's words, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily...
This guy is just awesome.
Chen Xiao watched without blinking, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to look.
Not far away, group shareholder Wan Chaogui was walking over with president Mu Qingshuang. Mu Qingshuang was tall and looked smart and capable in a silver-gray professional suit. She had a pretty face, but her cold expression made her seem a little distant. While she was listening to Wan Chaogui's story, her eyes fell on Chen Xiao like a straight sword, cold and with a hint of warning.
Obviously, she had seen Chen Xiao staring at Ye Xiaojia's buttocks.
Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and looked away, feeling helpless. Why was she running to the sales department instead of staying in the CEO's office on the top floor? Oh, she had bumped into him...
Mu Qingshuang walked straight past Chen Xiao. Although she looked straight ahead, Chen Xiao felt that she was "looking" at him, and he clearly heard the inaudible cold snort.
She hadn't been very fond of me to begin with, and now that she saw me staring at Ye Xiaojia's buttocks in such a lustful way, her dislike for me must have skyrocketed even more...
Chen Xiao pretended to turn on the computer, but he didn't work. Instead, he started playing Landlord. After playing only two rounds, Ye Xiaojia came back, but her face didn't look very good.
"What's wrong? What did he say to force you to agree to him?"
Ye Xiaojia shook her head bitterly.
Chen Xiao was a little surprised: "Then why do you look like that? He touched you. Which hand did it? Tell me, Brother Chen, and I will interrupt him."
"No..." Ye Xiaojia sat back in her office chair and said helplessly, "He just told me to collect the one million yuan from Changhong Company. He also said that my internship performance in the past two months was not good. If I can collect the money, I can be hired as a regular employee. Otherwise..."
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then go and collect it. Isn't it easy to collect the company's money?"
Ye Xiaojia frowned. "If it were easy to collect, I wouldn't be worried. But there's something wrong with that bad debt from Changhong Company. The money itself was problematic in the first place, and now there's no way to get it back. We've tried legal means and privately, but we can't do anything to the other party. They even approved a special deal for this account. Whoever collects the money will get a 5% commission, but no one can get it back. Last week, someone from our group went to collect the money, but because they angered the other party, they had their legs broken and are still in the hospital..."
Chen Xiao was somewhat amused and confused: "So it's the grandfather who owes the money and the grandson who borrows the money? What's the background of this company that makes it so arrogant?"
Ye Xiaojia shook her head: "I'm not too sure, but I heard that this company has some connection with the underworld..."
Knowing that Chen Xiao didn't know about this, Ye Xiaojia explained in detail: "Of course, we ordinary people are in two completely different worlds from them, and we rarely have any intersections, so many people don't know about it at all. I also heard it from my colleagues in the group..."
Chen Xiao blinked his eyes and rubbed his chin with his rough hands: "The underworld, quite interesting..."
Chen Xiao suddenly understood something: "Since this debt is so difficult to collect, why did he let you, a woman, collect it? This is clearly intentionally making things difficult for you. This guy looks like a human being, but he has a lot of bad intentions..."
Ye Xiaojia understood this logic, but Wu Yi spoke in a righteous and impartial tone. What could she do?
Ye Xiaojia is not a relative like Chen Xiao, she is just an ordinary employee.
Chen Xiao rubbed his chin with his big hand and suddenly asked, "He said that if you pay back the debt, he will make you a regular employee?"
"Well, that's what he said." Ye Xiaojia frowned slightly: "I think he wants to use this incident to force me to surrender..."
Chen Xiao laughed heartily and looked at Ye Xiaojia, who looked helpless. "Then let him shoot himself in the foot. Come on, I'll help you collect the debt."
Ye Xiaojia looked at Chen Xiao gratefully: "Brother Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you, why bother..."
Chen Xiao waved his hand, stopping Ye Xiaojia from saying anything else, and stood up: "Don't be so formal, let's go, let's go now, let's collect the debt."
