Chapter 302: Chapter 202: Gao Yue’s Promotion Story (3)

She knew this was the biggest turning point of her life. ’If I do this well,’ she thought, ’I, Gao Yue, will have no regrets!’

Xu Wu nodded. "I’ll arrange for the establishment of a Junxiao Hotel Management Company. You’ll be the acting CEO, with a review for the permanent position in three months."

"Straight to CEO?" Gao Yue was stunned by her old classmate’s audacity.

"Of course. I’m confident that the minor details won’t be a problem for you. What you lack right now is a big-picture perspective. You need to look at things from a higher level, with foresight! That’s why you’re going straight to CEO!"

"Correction, acting CEO. I hope you can become the permanent CEO in three months, and I hope even more that you can lead the Junxiao Hotel Management Company to grow bigger and stronger in the future!"

Gao Yue understood the subtext. Since Junxiao Group had now ventured into the hotel industry, it was unlikely they would stop at just these two properties.

"Let me be blunt: if you can’t secure the permanent position in three months, it means you’re not suited for the role. I’ll have you transferred out of the hotel management division."

Gao Yue gave a firm nod. ’If I can’t even seize an opportunity like this, I’ll never be able to forgive myself!’

When Chen Xiao arrived, Xu Wu and Gao Yue had already finished their discussion. Gao Yue was sitting on the sofa, while Xu Wu was at her desk handling business matters.

Since becoming the CEO of Junxiao Group, she hadn’t even had time to go shopping with Gao Yue and Li Xiao.

She had too much to manage and so many important tasks. From that perspective, with Chen Xiao giving her 1% of the shares, it was hard to say who got the better end of the deal.

Chen Xiao pushed the door open and walked in. He knew Gao Yue was there, but she had no idea he was coming.

Seeing Chen Xiao, she joked, "Skipping work to come see your girlfriend?"

Chen Xiao smiled. "Actually, I mainly came to see you today!"

"Oh really? You’re getting bold, Chen Xiao. Flirting with me right in front of your girlfriend!"

Xu Wu stood up. "You’re pretty bold yourself, daring to provoke the boss!"

’Provoke the boss?’ Gao Yue looked at her, confused.

"Chen Xiao is the owner of the Carmen Hotel!"

"Ah!" Gao Yue covered her mouth, her eyes wide with disbelief.

"Y-you... aren’t you a salesman?"

"Can’t a salesman own property? That’s blatant discrimination against my Profession!"

Seeing Chen Xiao teasing Gao Yue, Xu Wu shot him a look. "Ah Yue, this salesman is ruthless. I’m just working for him!"

"Ah!" Gao Yue’s gasp was even louder this time.

Chen Xiao clapped his hands over his ears in mock alarm. ’Good thing this is an office and not a hotel. Otherwise, who knows what people would think those two sounds were?’

"You can’t really say that. You’re a shareholder too, so you’re working for yourself!"

"Ah!" Gao Yue shrieked again.

The shocks she’d received today were just too much. The salesman turned into a hotel owner.

Then the salesman became the boss of Junxiao Group, and her best friend was a shareholder in Junxiao Group!

She had thought becoming the manager of two star-rated hotels was already incredible enough, but compared to the two people in front of her, what did that even count for?

Xu Wu pinched Chen Xiao. "Look what you’ve done! You’ve completely scrambled her brains!"

Chen Xiao glared at her, just barely stopping himself from asking, ’When did I "do" anything to her?’ ’Talk about slander!’

Before, it didn’t matter that Gao Yue didn’t know Chen Xiao’s identity. But now that she was about to be the head of the hotel management division, it was unacceptable for her not to know who the big boss was.

That was also why she had gone along with Chen Xiao today, to make the ownership structure of the company and the hotels clear to Gao Yue.

After a long while, Gao Yue finally recovered. "You two are really something else!"

"We need to arrange for the renaming of the Kamen Lakefront CBD Center and the two hotels, and speed up the renovations. At the group’s current rate of expansion, we’re already running out of space here."

"Gao Yue’s hotel management division will probably have to be based out of the Carmen Hotel for the time being."

"Rename the Kamen Lakefront CBD Center?" Gao Yue’s eyes widened in astonishment. A thought she wouldn’t have dared to even consider popped into her head.

"Don’t be surprised. It’s just what you’re thinking. That skyscraper belongs to Chen Xiao, too."

Gao Yue let out another "Ah!", and Chen Xiao couldn’t take it anymore. "Keep your voice down! What will people outside think if they hear that?"

"What will they think?" Then she immediately understood what Chen Xiao meant. Her face turned bright red, and she said to Xu Wu, "Aren’t you going to do something? He’s bullying me right in front of you!"

Chen Xiao was quite gratified that Gao Yue could still interact with him as she had before, even after finding out he was the boss.

If she became meek and subservient just because he was the boss, she would never be able to achieve great things.

"How could I control him? This big shot bullies me plenty, too!"

’She remembered that night she’d let him feel her thigh all evening, only for him to call it ’hand-pulled lamb’. Compared to that, what Gao Yue is going through is nothing!’

"Gao Yue, you’d better work hard! We’re planning to set aside one or two floors in the Kamen Lakefront CBD Center for the hotel management company’s offices, you know!"

Chen Xiao gave a wry smile. "You’re just forcing me to keep buying hotels."

Xu Wu said, "As if I don’t know you. Once you start something like this, you can’t stop."

And it was true. Although Chen Xiao hadn’t planned to make a big splash in the hotel industry, he definitely wouldn’t stop at just the two star-rated hotels he currently owned. He would certainly keep buying more.

’Otherwise, what’s the point of keeping so much money in the bank? It’s much more satisfying to see it all converted into fixed assets!’

Gao Yue’s face was flushed with excitement. She was already envisioning a wonderful future.

’CEO of the Junxiao Hotel Management Group... That’s a truly impressive title to have!’

"By the way, I had Li Guoqiang go talk to Ding Yong. Xu Wu, you can also give him a call, just as a courtesy. After all, we did poach his star employee."

"I’ll call him personally," Xu Wu said with a nod.

Thinking about leaving Jindi Group, the company she had worked so hard at ever since graduation, Gao Yue couldn’t help but feel a little sentimental.

"Don’t worry, Ding will wish you well. Besides, he’s not an outsider anymore. You won’t need to do his PR work every day! If he needs something, he can come straight to me!"

"For now, let’s set Gao Yue’s salary at the same level as a group vice president."

Chen Xiao was never stingy with his subordinates. A vice president at Junxiao Group had an annual income of over two million.
