Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Unbelievable

Gao Yue looked up, asking in surprise, "Miss Xu, what are you doing here?"

"Is your company here to talk about financing too?"

Before Xu Wu could speak, Gao Yue pulled her aside. "Let me tell you, the people in the investment department here are absolutely unreasonable. They don’t know how to be flexible at all!"

"I’ve been on his case all morning. I was one step away from flashing him some cleavage, and he still wouldn’t budge an inch!"

Xu Wu smiled. "Ah Yue, don’t worry. They’re new and haven’t settled in yet, so they’re being more cautious."

Gao Yue bristled. "I’m so pissed off I could die, and you’re defending them? If you ask me, these people should all be fired!"

Xu Wu pulled her along. "Come on, let’s talk over here."

"Your conclusion about a person changes depending on your perspective. From a client’s point of view, you think they’re inflexible and not smooth enough."

"But from the company’s perspective, it’s called sticking to principles."

Gao Yue sighed. "I know that, but I’m getting anxious because I can’t get this deal done!"

As they were talking, Gao Yue looked up and saw a large office with a plaque that read "General Manager’s Office." She was wondering why Xu Wu had brought her here.

Xu Wu had already pushed the door open and gone inside, startling Gao Yue.

"Hey, Miss Xu, what are you doing?"

She stood outside the door and yelled, but Xu Wu beckoned to her from inside. "Come in! What are you doing out there?"

Only then did Gao Yue cautiously enter, asking as she walked, "You know their general manager?"

Xu Wu pointed to the sofa, telling her to sit. Then, she used the internal line to call the investment department and ask them to bring over the contract and cooperation agreement for the Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car project.

Gao Yue stared at her blankly until Xu Wu handed her a cup of tea that exuded a rich aroma.

"Try this. It’s top-grade Taiping Houkui. You can’t buy it on the market."

"Miss Xu, what is going on?"

Gao Yue racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out. How could a sales director from Zhi Fei Aerospace be sitting so brazenly in the general manager’s office of Junxiao Capital, acting as if she owned the place?

Before Xu Wu could explain, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"President Xu, here are the documents you requested!" The head of the investment department respectfully handed over the materials.

Gao Yue’s mouth fell wide open. "You... you... you!"

Xu Wu smiled. "Let me finish reading this first."

She carefully reviewed every point of contention between the two parties. Ten minutes passed, and Gao Yue’s heart was a roller coaster of emotions. She just couldn’t wrap her head around what was happening with Miss Xu.

She wouldn’t have dared to imagine in a million years that Xu Wu was now the general manager of Junxiao Capital. It was too world-shattering. Just a few days ago, she was still the sales director at Zhi Fei Aerospace.

Who changes jobs that fast? And with such a huge career leap—a sales head from a small company suddenly becoming the general manager of a capital management firm.

That must have taken some incredible luck.

Xu Wu put the documents aside and said to the head of the investment department, "This isn’t a big deal. Just go with their terms."

"Understood, President Xu!" The investment department head excused himself to prepare the documents for Gao Yue, so her company could affix their seal.

"We can affix our seal first. Once both sides have been stamped, arrange for finance to wire the funds," Xu Wu added.

The investment department head said quickly, "Understood, understood!"

’Normally, Party B stamps the contract first, and Party A stamps last. President Xu is actually making an exception. It seems this beautiful woman is her friend. I wonder if President Xu will blame me for being so rigid!’

He was on pins and needles, but he was overthinking it. For his adherence to principles, Xu Wu would only praise him; she would never blame him.

After he left, Xu Wu smiled and said, "Ah Yue, I’m working at Junxiao Capital now."

In fact, in that short amount of time, Gao Yue had already understood and accepted this reality.

She and Li Xiao used to compete with Xu Wu for the spotlight, but from this moment on, she could never entertain such a thought again.

In terms of status, they were no longer in the same league.

She quickly adjusted her attitude and said with a hint of flattery, "Even back in school, I always thought you were destined for great things. That’s why even though being a sales director is a good job, we all felt it was beneath someone of your talent."

"This new position is a much better match for you. Old classmate, you’ll have to look out for me from now on!"

Calling her "Miss Xu" felt too personal now, and she couldn’t bring herself to say it. Instead, she used "old classmate" to bridge the gap between them.

Xu Wu smiled, but her thoughts drifted far away.

’Without Chen Xiao, I wouldn’t have any of this, would I? The world is full of talented people who never get their chance. Talent alone isn’t that special.’

’The most important thing is to have talent and to meet someone who appreciates it and gives you a stage to perform on.’

Xu Wu was undoubtedly lucky, and Chen Xiao was her lucky star.

Xu Wu took Gao Yue for a tour of the Aerial Garden upstairs. Gao Yue was mesmerized. To think such a place existed in the middle of the city.

"In a few days, when you and your team aren’t so busy, I’ll invite President Ding and you to have a meal here."

Xu Wu pointed to the Celestial Star Pavilion, looking like a hero from a martial arts epic, ready to conquer the world.

At that moment, Gao Yue suddenly had a feeling. Her old classmate’s achievements today were just the beginning. In the near future, she might even become a business Empress, watched by the world.

Gao Yue was in a hurry to get back and report, so she didn’t stay for a meal. Xu Wu didn’t insist on her staying either.

The most important thing right now was to get the contract signed by both parties and transfer the money. They still had a lot of preparatory work to do. Time was extremely tight, and every second counted.

「Dr. Feng’s Robot Company」

Feng Feifei had been swamped with work lately. Chen Xiao had been starting too many new business ventures.

Her manpower reserves were far from enough. She was constantly preparing for battle—scouting for talent and negotiating with partners everywhere.

But she was busy, and she was happy.

After a morning of meetings, she returned to the company in the afternoon. Passing by the business department, she instinctively glanced at Chen Xiao’s desk, and her brow furrowed instantly.

Back in her office, she called the administrative supervisor and Ma Jing, an assistant from the business department, to her office.

When the two of them entered the office, they felt it was a bit strange. Why would she summon a department supervisor and an assistant from another department?

If it was about work, shouldn’t she have called both department heads?

The administrative supervisor gave Ma Jing a strange look, thinking, ’Don’t tell me the little assistant is getting a promotion?’

Feng Feifei stopped what she was doing and said to the two of them, "Chen Xiao is asleep at his desk. Did you see him?"

The two of them jumped. It wasn’t the first time Chen Xiao had fallen asleep at his desk. In the past, everyone just assumed President Feng didn’t mind, so no one paid it any attention, treating him as a special case.

’Could it be that President Feng has decided to make an example of him to whip the company back into shape?’

Ma Jing was secretly worried. She would never be the one to sell out Brother Chen Xiao, so she kept her head down and said nothing.

The administrative supervisor said, "President Feng, patrolling the office area is Human Resources’ responsibility."

Feng Feifei said, displeased, "I’m asking if the two of you saw Chen Xiao sleeping."
