Chapter 301: Chapter 202: The Story of Gao Yue’s Promotion (Part 2)

Besides, he’s betting on the new energy vehicle sector now, so he’ll definitely have to establish a new sales company. That will probably be his main line of business in the future, so it makes sense to put that division here!

He agreed in a heartbeat. ’I won’t even think about the upper floors. Based on Chen Xiao’s plans for the future, the top ten floors will probably all belong to Junxiao Group. Only floors below the 48th would likely be open to outside tenants!’

"I also bought those two hotels. From now on, when you have clients visiting, I’ll give you the lowest possible rate to save you some money!"

Chen Xiao joked, full of high spirits, and Li Guoqiang was stunned yet again!

’President Chen, just how many properties have you bought?’

"Li, don’t look at me like that. I’m not planning on buying up hotels on a large scale just yet. I just bought these two for fun. After all, with the headquarters here, employees from other regions will need a place to stay when they come for group meetings!"

’Listen to that! Just listen! Is that something a normal person would say? A Six-star Hotel and a five-star hotel, and he bought them "for fun"!’

"Thanks to you, we can finally dare to hold our banquets at the Six-star Hotel. In the past, we wouldn’t have even dreamed of it!"

"President Li, I’ll have President Xu make the arrangements. From now on, you can have all the retail spots in Junxiao Square, aside from the directly-operated Junxing Auto showrooms. They’re all yours, if you’re interested!"

Li Guoqiang was so moved he almost fell to his knees. He knew about Chen Xiao’s plans for his commercial real estate empire—in the future, there would be no fewer than a hundred Junxiao Squares across the country. The company’s directly-operated stores probably couldn’t even fill half of them. Giving him the other half of the cake... what an incredible level of support!

"I’ll give you 20 million in startup funding. Go ahead and work boldly, don’t worry. If you run out of capital, I can give you more. My confidence isn’t in you; it’s in Junxing Auto! You’re definitely going to make money—a lot of money!"

"Anyone who follows President Chen and doesn’t get rich must be a damn fool!"

Chen Xiao laughed heartily. "There’s still plenty of room to grow. Once the full line of models is launched, I’ll give you some slots for 4S dealerships. We can’t have your company ending up smaller than President Ding’s, can we!"

Li Guoqiang was moved beyond words. He knew this was Chen Xiao looking out for an old friend. What seemed like an enormous amount of capital to him was probably just a drop in the bucket for Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao was doing this to cultivate his own network of loyal people. Li Guoqiang was a man worth keeping around. Back when Chen Xiao was just starting, he had been the one who helped the most, and he always spared no effort to meet any of Chen Xiao’s requests.

It would be a miracle if Li Guoqiang *didn’t* make a profit from this. He would be managing all the shops in the Junxiao Squares; first, he would get a discount on rent, and second, he’d have policy support for his sales business from Xu Gang. If he still couldn’t make money after all that, he might as well just slit his own throat!

"Let’s go, President Li. We’re heading back to Yunfeng Building!"

Chen Xiao said to Li Guoqiang after glancing at his phone.

Xu Wu had sent a message saying Gao Yue was on the 28th floor of Yunfeng Building. As for the offer to come here and take charge of the two hotels, Gao Yue naturally had no reason to refuse.

She only said that she needed to go back and explain things to President Ding, out of respect for his many years of mentorship and support.

It was obvious that Ding Yong wouldn’t stand in the way of her career. This was a heaven-sent opportunity, after all, and Ding Yong would never in his lifetime be able to provide Gao Yue with such a grand stage.

Li Guoqiang rode back in Chen Xiao’s car, while his own business van was handled by his driver.

Enjoying the luxurious interior of the Brabus G900, Li Guoqiang felt that only someone like President Chen could truly be called a winner at life.

’The other bosses I’ve known, though powerful in their own right, were all so busy they never seemed to stop. Who else is like President Chen, making a fortune so effortlessly?’

"President Li, when you have a moment, please tell President Ding that I’m planning to have Gao Yue take charge of these two hotels. Ask him to be generous and part with his prized subordinate."

Li Guoqiang froze for a moment. His first reaction was to lament that he hadn’t been born a woman!

’Gao Yue is so lucky. Thanks to her connection with Xu Wu, she’s truly about to soar to new heights!’

’Before, her prestige had mostly come from her influence over Xu Wu in the eyes of outsiders. But managing two high-end hotels, especially with one of them being a Six-star, would cause Gao Yue’s influence in Jiangzhou to skyrocket, making her one of the city’s top figures.’

’It’s like ascending to heaven in a single step. No wonder they say that men conquer the world, while women conquer men. It’s true!’

Meanwhile, in Xu Wu’s office, Gao Yue was overcome with a mix of emotions.

Xu Wu had called her over that afternoon, and she’d thought something was wrong. She had ended up waiting in her office for several hours.

Just now, Xu Wu had returned from her meeting. Without even putting her things down, she asked Gao Yue, "Ah Yue, are you interested in hotel management?"

Gao Yue didn’t understand what she meant for a moment. She asked hesitantly, "What kind of hotel? A grand hotel, or more like a restaurant?"

Xu Wu smiled. "A star-rated hotel!"

Gao Yue replied, "I’ve never dared to even think about it, so I can’t really say if I’m interested or not!"

Holding a glass of water, Xu Wu sat down on the sofa next to her. "I want you to manage two star-rated hotels. One is a Six-star, and the other is a five-star."

Gao Yue was stunned for a long moment. She even pinched herself before asking, "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like the type of person who jokes around about things like this?"

’She has a point. If anyone else had said it, it would definitely be a joke. But coming from Xu Wu, and with the power of Junxiao Capital, producing two star-rated hotels wouldn’t be difficult at all.’

"Why choose me?"

"Because you’re my classmate and my best friend!"

’Gao Yue felt a little embarrassed. It was only recently that she had come to genuinely admire Xu Wu. Before, she had spent all her time trying to compete with her. What "best friends"? They were more like frenemies!’

"If you’re asking me to do it, I’ll do it. I definitely won’t let you down!"

She stated her position quickly. ’To refuse a gift from the heavens is to invite disaster!’
