Chapter 315 - 207: Lin Ya Meets the Boss

Chapter 315: Chapter 207: Lin Ya Meets the Boss

On the way to the Second Store, Chen Xiao felt like laughing.

He was going to see Lin Ya again today—that beautiful general manager who had once declared that if he were powerful enough, she would find a way to climb into his bed.

’I wonder how she’ll react when we meet today. When is she planning to fulfill her promise?’

He had been feeling a bit wicked lately. The side effects of his 109 Endurance Value were too strong; he was often affected by a single piece of information or even a stray thought.

Right now, he was chanting Amitabha Buddha in his head. If he made a fool of himself in front of an old man like Xu Jun, he would die of embarrassment!

The foot traffic at Junxiao Square Second Store was a stark contrast to that of Wanhong and the Jiangzhou Economic Development Zone Wansheng Square.

Today was a weekday, but the first floor was already bustling with a constant stream of people.

Nearly every shop had customers inside, and as they walked, they saw many shoppers carrying shopping bags.

He vaguely overheard a few young women chatting, "Junxiao Square is so great now. They have perks every month. On top of the lowest discounts on all products, the mall even provides subsidies. My poor little wallet... I can never resist the temptation. Every time I come, I just want to buy, buy, buy!"

Chen Xiao smiled faintly. ’Spending twenty million on a single mall to get this effect isn’t bad. It’s only a few days of my daily basic stipend, after all.’

He had visited several malls today, and his step count was already over 20,000. His old self would have been exhausted long ago.

But now, he felt completely fine. He secretly glanced at the system. ’This must be the benefit of having 102 Constitution,’ he thought to himself.

He deliberately slowed his pace. With his old bones, Xu Jun was clearly getting tired after walking 20,000 steps with him.

Xu Jun had never done such a high-intensity inspection before. Accompanying President Chen was a case of doing whatever it took to keep the boss happy, but he couldn’t help but marvel at the young man’s boundless energy.

The dining floor of Junxiao Square Second Store was even more incredible. Every restaurant was packed to the brim.

Normally, when a mall held a promotion, the restaurants didn’t participate because the dining area never lacked for customers. But this time, Junxiao Square’s sales promotion had included the restaurants, making the scene even more frenzied.

The entire floor was a sea of people, and the waiting areas outside every restaurant were completely full.

"We need to pay attention to safety, especially on weekends and major holidays, to prevent any stampedes."

Xu Jun agreed. "President Lin has already made arrangements for that. She is very serious and meticulous in her work."

Chen Xiao nodded faintly. Lin Ya had long been famous in Jiangzhou’s business circles, partly for her outstanding abilities and partly for her stunning beauty.

He had heard she was the dream girl of many bachelors in the business world. Later, when word got out that she was the fiancée of Xia Bin from Four Seasons Clothing, countless men had lamented their loss in bitter disappointment.

"President Chen, would you like to see the office area?"

After a moment of thought, he said, "Let’s skip the office area. We can go next time."

It was already 1:50 PM. If they didn’t go eat soon, the restaurants would be closing.

The restaurant Lin Ya had booked was near the mall. It was a well-known place for local cuisine. Xu Jun had specifically asked her to find a place that served rustic dishes, so she had thought of this one.

The ambiance was quite ordinary, but the food was distinctive.

Xu Jun knew that President Chen had this preference; he enjoyed wandering through side streets and alleys to find hole-in-the-wall eateries that served unique dishes.

That was why Xu Jun now paid special attention to such places. Whenever he heard about a rustic restaurant with unique local food, he would go try it himself. It might just come in handy one day when he needed to treat President Chen.

Lin Ya didn’t know that President Xu would visit the square first. While Xu Jun and the others were at the Economic Development Zone Wansheng Square, she had already gone ahead to the restaurant to wait for them.

She was also dressed to the nines today, with exquisite makeup and a fashionable outfit that made her incredibly eye-catching.

She had heard from President Xu that he was accompanying the big boss on a store inspection today. She didn’t know who the big boss was, only that his surname was Chen, because Xu Jun had referred to him as President Chen.

She was quite curious about this mysterious big boss. After all, the only person Xu Jun would call "big boss" would have to be the owner of the Junxiao Investment Group.

The tycoon who was rumored in the industry to have assets possibly exceeding a hundred billion!

What did a hundred billion even mean? Someone like Xia Bin, who did over a billion in annual business revenue, was already considered incredibly impressive, but in reality, he only earned tens of millions a year.

But the Junxiao Group controlled nearly a hundred billion in capital, which was a completely different concept from revenue.

Lin Ya tried to picture President Chen in her mind. ’Will he be a hale and hearty old man, but maybe balding, or with a big, shiny bald head?’

All these images were shattered the moment Chen Xiao walked into the room.

"You... What are you doing here?"

Lin Ya stared at Chen Xiao, completely bewildered.

Xu Jun asked in surprise, "You know President Chen?"

Chen Xiao smiled. "We’ve met twice, but I know President Lin. President Lin doesn’t know me."

Lin Ya’s face instantly turned red. She remembered the scene from their first meeting when she had boldly declared that if he were powerful enough, she would willingly climb into his bed and be his Xiao Si.

She never thought her words would become a prophecy.

"My name is Chen Xiao. The ’Xiao’ in Junxiao Group."

Chen Xiao extended his hand and gave her soft, smooth little hand a light squeeze before letting go. ’That felt incredible,’ he thought.

"President Chen, please, have a seat."

Seeing her nervousness, Chen Xiao sat down at the head of the table and joked, "Don’t be so tense. I prefer the defiant you."

Xu Jun was completely lost, unable to understand the riddle these two were playing at.

This clearly wasn’t the time for him to interrupt, so he stepped out to tell the waiter to start bringing the food.

Now that they were the only two left, Lin Ya lowered her head, her face flushing pink.
