Chapter 305: Chapter 203: Everyone Covets Me...

This is the Brother Chen Xiao I love—so assertive! I finished the whole banana without even realizing it!

Li Hui had been keeping an eye on the activity outside. His office was enclosed by glass partitions, so he saw Ma Jing heading to the finance department to get a contract stamped.

He went to the finance department and saw Xia Yun. He had a great deal of respect for the chief accountant. "Sister Xia, did those clients who came to see Chen Xiao just now sign the deal?"

"Of course they did. Why else would they be here?"

Xia Yun answered while sorting through some invoices. In the eyes of veterans like her, any client who came to the company looking to sign a deal with Chen Xiao was practically begging for it. There was no way they wouldn’t sign.

Li Hui was stunned. ’Holy shit, the sales champion is a real badass. No wonder he gets to enjoy such a huge office.’

He had never been inside Chen Xiao’s office, of course, but it spanned such a great length that he could estimate its area—at least 150 square meters!

And President Feng’s office was only 150 square meters.

Following the address Gao Yue had given her, Li Man drove to the Carmen Lake Hotel and parked in the hotel’s surface lot.

It was her first time visiting this newly built hotel, the most luxurious six-star establishment in all of Jiangzhou City.

The moment she walked in, she was greeted by a magnificent lobby. The refreshing scent of high-end perfume filled the air. The hotel’s decor was absolutely unrivaled in all of Jiangzhou.

She was in the renovation business, so the first thing she always noticed was the decor. It was an occupational hazard.

’She still couldn’t figure out why President Gao had an office here.’

She took an elevator up from the employee entrance to the 11th floor, where Gao Yue’s office was located.

She checked the address again and then glanced at the sign for the office area before her. ’Junxiao Lake Hotel Offices?’

’Isn’t this the Carmen Hotel?’ Because the sign outside hadn’t been changed yet, Li Man had no idea the hotel had new owners.

She approached the front desk. "Excuse me, where can I find President Gao Yue’s office?"

The receptionist’s expression suddenly turned serious, though she maintained a smile. "Do you have an appointment with President Gao?"

’So Gao Yue really is here.’ She nodded.

The receptionist dialed an internal line to confirm with Gao Yue’s assistant whether President Gao was available for a visitor.

Gao Yue had just arrived and was still getting familiar with everything; she had only just learned her assistant’s name.

As the receptionist led her into the office area, Li Man quietly asked, "What is President Gao’s position here?"

The receptionist glanced at her, ’wondering how someone with an appointment with President Gao didn’t even know her title.’

"She’s our CEO."

"What? President Gao is the general manager of this hotel now?"

Li Man was shocked beyond belief. ’President Gao is incredible! That role change was as smooth as silk. I haven’t seen her in a few days, and she’s already become the general manager of a six-star hotel!’

"No, she’s the CEO of our hotel management group. The other five-star hotel, the Junxiao Lake View Hotel, is also under our management group."

Li Man continued walking forward as if in a daze, unable to process what the receptionist had just told her.

She had always thought President Gao was a force to be reckoned with and that she needed to latch onto her, and she eventually succeeded. But this was the first time she realized just how powerful a patron she had found.

The receptionist handed Li Man over to Gao Yue’s assistant, Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xiao Feng opened the door for Li Man and let her enter by herself.

’Wow.’ Gao Yue’s new office was far more impressive than her old one at Jindi Group. A full 80 square meters, it was incredibly stately.

"President Li, you’re here."

Gao Yue rose to greet her. Her current style of dress, speech, and mannerisms were all becoming more and more like Xu Wu’s.

Xu Wu’s influence on her must have been profound.

"President Gao, you’re..."

’They say you should look at a man with new eyes after being apart for three days. It’s been three days, and you’ve completely blown my mind!’

Gao Yue gestured for her to sit on the sofa as her assistant, Xiao Feng, brought in some tea.

"Use my tea leaves and make a fresh cup."

She had gotten the tea from Xu Wu. Chen Xiao liked to collect fine teas and always shared some with Xu Wu, who wasn’t much of a tea drinker herself.

So when Gao Yue moved into her new office, Xu Wu had given her some.

Top-grade Houkui tea was brewed in a glass, perfect in both color and aroma.

Li Man was a connoisseur. "This tea must be expensive, right?"

"It’s alright. About 50,000 yuan a pound."

"Ahem... COUGH, COUGH!" Li Man choked.

Meanwhile, Gao Yue took a delicate sip, as nonchalant as a passing cloud and as elegant as a white swan.

’Sigh. To live a life like President Gao’s... she’s like the protagonist of a power-fantasy novel.’ Li Man was filled with adoration for Gao Yue.

"President Gao, how did you become the CEO of Junxiao Hotel Management Group?"

Li Man couldn’t resist asking out of sheer curiosity.

"It’s nothing, really. I thought I might enjoy hotel management, so I decided to give it a try."

Gao Yue said it so casually, as if speaking of something trivial—as if this position were nothing more than a whim.

Li Man was immediately overcome with awe. President Gao was on another level, one she could never hope to reach.

"You asked me to come today. Is there something you need?"

"Oh, I have a renovation project. I wanted to see if you could take it on."

"Of course! You know my company’s capabilities. There’s no renovation project I can’t handle!"

"Don’t get ahead of yourself. My standards for this are high. I want the most cutting-edge design standards and the absolute finest construction quality in all of Huaxia."

’Whoa! With standards that high, this must be a huge project!’

"You don’t mean you’re redecorating the hotel, do you? That can’t be right, it just opened!"

Gao Yue laughed. "Of course not. Renovating right after the grand opening? Do I look like I have nothing better to do? It’s the top ten floors of the Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center next door."

"Ah, you’re in charge of that too!"

"Yes. I’m just unlucky, I suppose. Had to take that over as well."

’Unlucky, she says? I’d kill to be that "unlucky"! Anyone who wouldn’t is a damn fool!’

Li Man’s internal snark lasted only a second. As a businesswoman, she instantly recognized that this was a massive business opportunity.
