Chapter 306 - 204: Endurance Value Acting Up

Chapter 306: Chapter 204: Endurance Value Acting Up

Gao Yue told her some of the basic requirements.

For example, she spent half an hour just on how the top floor should be designed. This was the most important part, but she only gave a general direction, leaving the specifics for the designer to plan out.

She also covered how the 57th floor, which would house all the executive offices, should be designed.

Additionally, each business division needed at least one international conference hall.

Li Man picked up her pen and diligently noted everything down.

An hour passed just like that while they talked.

"Here, have some water."

Gao Yue herself was thirsty. Li Man, on the other hand, wasn’t, but her hand was sore from writing. The A4 paper was densely packed with notes on all the key points.

Picking up her tea, Li Man asked, "Mr. Gao, what about the budget?"

"Get me the absolute best. I won’t control your budget. I’ll give you a fixed profit margin, but Li Man, you know my personality. If there are any mistakes whatsoever, this will be our last time working together."

Hearing this, Li Man’s expression turned serious. "Mr. Gao, please rest assured. Even if I don’t make a profit, I will get this done right for you. I won’t bring you any shame!"

She wasn’t a shortsighted person. With Mr. Gao’s power and influence today, even the scraps that slipped through her fingers would be more than enough for Li Man to make a fortune.

Besides, her business had been booming recently, all thanks to her using Mr. Gao’s name to get by.

She naturally wouldn’t cut off her own source of wealth. Leaving other things aside, there were still over forty floors below in this very building. Although Junxiao Group was handling external leasing and didn’t have the authority to appoint a specific renovation company, they could guide the tenants. That alone offered plenty of benefits.

Also, Mr. Gao was now the CEO of a hotel management group. These two new star-rated hotels might not need renovations, but there would always be small projects in between.

The biggest opportunity was future hotel expansions. By latching onto Mr. Gao, Li Man estimated that just the work from her hotel management group alone would be more than her current workforce could handle.

"I trust you. I’m quite busy here, so I won’t keep you. You need to move forward with the work quickly. Give me a project schedule tomorrow. I want to see the key milestones for every phase."

Chen Xiao was a bit tired from working at the office. Even with Little Ma Jing massaging his shoulders, he still felt a little out of sorts.

A normal person would definitely get a bit dizzy after playing "League of Legends" for four or five hours straight.

Wanting to get some fresh air, he grabbed his bag, only to see Ma Jing looking at him with a reproachful expression.

"Leaving again so soon?"

’Soon? It’s been several hours!’

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Come here, give me a hug. I’m heading out!"

Ever since hugging Feng Feifei, he seemed to have developed a strange habit of wanting a hug when saying goodbye.

’I can’t stop wondering if this is caused by my constantly increasing Endurance Value.’

Ma Jing had grown familiar with him, so a hug was exactly what she wished for.

Holding her fragrant body, a faint, pleasant scent wafted to his nose. Chen Xiao took a deep breath. Looking down, he could see Ma Jing’s flushed cheeks, and further down... ’If only her collar was a little more open,’ he thought. ’Too bad I can only see half of it!’

His hand conveniently traveled down and gave her butt a pat. "I’m off!"

’If I don’t leave now, I won’t be able to! This is so hard to endure.’

Ma Jing watched his retreating figure, reaching out to rub her butt, which was a little sore—she wasn’t sure if it was from the pat or a pinch. She let out a coquettish whisper, "You perv!"

Arriving at the Lakefront Hotel again, his mood was completely different.

The last time he came, it was to meet Bai Lu for coffee. It had been their first private meeting, and both of them were a bit nervous and awkward.

Thinking of Bai Lu, his Endurance Value seemed to be acting up again.

It wasn’t acting up on him, but on Bai Lu!

Just then, Bai Lu sent a message: "When are you taking me for that oil massage?"

Chen Xiao’s mind immediately conjured up many inappropriate images. ’How is it so hot and stuffy in the middle of winter?’

Just then, Qiao Xin also sent a message: "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re so biased! Why do you spank Ma Jing’s butt but not mine? Isn’t mine big enough? Isn’t it perky enough?"

Chen Xiao nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. ’Is it really okay for you girls to be fanning the flames like this? If I catch fire, it’s not like I bought spontaneous combustion insurance for myself!’

And that wasn’t all!

"Brother Chen Xiao, mine feels better to the touch. And you know, I’m wearing the kind where you have to pull open the butt cheeks to even see the panties!"

As if possessed, he replied: "Come to my office tomorrow. I’ll compare them and let you two settle who’s better."

He regretted it the moment he sent it and quickly unsent the message.

"Brother Chen Xiao, why’d you unsend it? I already saw it! See you tomorrow, be there or be square!"

’It’s over. Am I going to corrupt the culture of Dr. Feng’s Robots? The rumors about me at the company have never stopped, but now it feels like the act is becoming real.’

’Purifying Heart Spell, Purifying Heart Spell!’

’Women are tigers. Women will only slow down the speed at which I draw my sword... but they won’t slow down the speed at which I raise my spear...’

’Fuck, what am I thinking? I’m so screwed! My damn Endurance Value is only 109. What am I going to do in the future? How do I deal with this?’

’I need a bucket of cold water!’

"Oh? Handsome, what a coincidence!"

Chen Xiao looked up. The "cold water" had arrived.

It was the older woman who had come with Gao Yue to offer a toast at the dinner last time. He couldn’t remember her name, but here she was again.

Li Man looked at Chen Xiao with pleasant surprise. Her constant thoughts of him had finally been answered.

After they last parted, she had often seen him in her dreams. Today, her wish had finally been granted! It had truly been granted!

She had just landed such a huge project, and it was true that good fortune puts one in high spirits. She felt like today was just one lucky break after another.

Mr. Gao had taken care of her with a huge deal, launching her life to its peak, and now she’d run into the handsome young man she couldn’t stop thinking about! ’With my current financial power,’ she thought, ’I can probably make a move, right?’
