Chapter 316 - 207: Lin Ya Meets the Boss, Part 2

Chapter 316: Chapter 207: Lin Ya Meets the Boss, Part 2

What she’d said back then wasn’t just about climbing into his bed. It was about climbing into his bed stark naked!

Now, not only did Chen Xiao meet her condition from back then, he far surpassed it. She thought to herself, ’President Chen isn’t going to make me follow through, is he?’

Chen Xiao was secretly amused. ’If she actually went through with it, Xia Bin would probably drop dead on the spot that very night!’

Fortunately, Xu Jun’s quick return saved the two of them from further awkwardness.

Adopting an official tone, Chen Xiao lavished praise on Xu Jun and Lin Ya for their stellar performance in the latest campaign.

The two of them were quick to demur, attributing their success to the group’s support.

It was true. For people like Xu Jun and Lin Ya, who were used to an annual marketing budget of less than two million, suddenly spending several million a month felt like they’d struck it rich overnight.

It’s human nature to be drawn to the powerful, especially for women.

When Lin Ya first met Chen Xiao, she had merely thought he was handsome with a unique aura. That was why she had made that joke. If he had been ugly, she probably wouldn’t have been able to make such a comment, even subconsciously.

But today, after learning that Chen Xiao was the big boss of Junxiao Group, seeing him again brought a line of classic poetry to mind: "A refined gentleman, exquisitely carved and polished." She suddenly found him overwhelmingly charming.

She even found herself comparing him to Xia Bin, a comparison that made Xia Bin seem like a complete loser.

"You’re all titans of the business world now. Especially you, President Lin. To have accomplished so much at such a young age—you have a very bright future ahead of you!"

’Such a young age? Buddy, I’m probably older than you,’ Lin Ya thought. She was twenty-six, and judging by his appearance, Chen Xiao had to be younger than her.

But she wouldn’t dare say that out loud.

"Junxiao Business Management is going to see explosive growth over the next one to three years. I need you to be ambitious and bold. What I can guarantee is that you will have more than enough funding."

"I’ll make sure your war chest is full. How you conquer the territory is up to you."

"You should also start thinking about training your successors. While the General Manager position is important, I have even greater responsibilities waiting for you down the line."

"I’ve set aside three floors in the Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center for the Business Management Group’s offices. I hope you’ll move in soon. And President Xu, this is a chance for you to upgrade your working environment. Your current office is too shabby; it doesn’t befit your status as Chairman."

Since Xu Jun frequently visited Yunfeng Building, he was one of the first to learn that the boss had purchased the Kamen Lakefront CBD Center and two luxury hotels.

Lin Ya, however, didn’t know. She asked quizzically, "The Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center?"

Xu Jun explained, "It’s the old Kamen Lakefront CBD Center."

She gasped, lightly covering her mouth. She knew the place. After all, she had just been drinking coffee at the Carmen Lake Hotel a few days ago, where she’d even run into Chen Xiao.

’The company is moving there? Why is it called the Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center now?’

Xu Jun saw that Chen Xiao had no intention of keeping it a secret. Besides, it couldn’t be hidden for long, as the official renaming was imminent.

"The boss bought the former Kamen Lakefront CBD Center and the two luxury hotels!"

Lin Ya stared at Chen Xiao, stunned. She suddenly found him incredibly charismatic.

’A man is probably at his most dashing when he’s spending money like water,’ she thought.

She couldn’t stop herself from fantasizing about the scene: ’President Chen went to the Carmen Lake Hotel for a cup of coffee. He thought it was pretty good, so to make sure he could have it whenever he wanted, he just bought all those properties!’

’I can’t keep thinking like this. Any more of this and I could write a whole romance novel!’

She understood what Chen Xiao was implying. He wanted her to work at the corporate headquarters in the future. ’Does that mean I’ll become one of the leaders of the Business Management Group?’

’It looks like choosing to stay was a truly wise decision!’

At Lifan, even though she was the "Eldest Princess," she had a twenty-four-year-old younger brother, Lin Ping. He was the one being groomed to take over the group. After all, families like theirs had always been somewhat patriarchal.

Although Lifan’s chairman, Lin Jian, treated her well, her potential for growth at Lifan couldn’t compare to her prospects at Junxiao Business Management.

And Junxiao Business Management was just getting started. As she imagined its magnificent future and thought of the powerful strategic vision Chen Xiao projected when discussing his plans, she found herself becoming utterly captivated.

She wouldn’t be opposed to stripping naked and climbing into his bed at all.

’What am I thinking? Shameless!’ Lin Ya mentally spat, lowering her head to take a sip of water and hide her flustered expression.

Xu Jun, for his part, was filled with a mix of joy and emotion.

He was overjoyed that, as the chairman of Junxiao Business Management Company, he could follow President Chen and President Xu in building a vast commercial empire—a worthy accomplishment for any lifetime.

What moved him to emotion was the thought of why he hadn’t met a boss like this twenty years sooner. He was old now, while President Chen and President Xu were in their prime. He probably wouldn’t be able to accompany them for the entire journey ahead.

But he knew one thing for sure: the future of Junxiao Group would astound the world.

When Chen Xiao commented that Xu Jun’s office was small, Lin Ya couldn’t help but think, ’President Xu’s office is 35 square meters, and you think that’s small? Just how big are you expecting?’

’I should’ve invited him to see my office. It’s not even 20 square meters—I can’t even fit a sofa for guests!’

Back at Tianlong Square, Lifan Business Management had been running an asset-light operation. To maximize profits, every bit of limited space had been dedicated to tenant leasing.

As a result, the office spaces were made as small as possible.

Of course, Chen Xiao had no idea about her situation. He called it small simply because he was used to massive offices. Xu Jun’s office couldn’t even compare to that of a single salesperson at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park, let alone the offices in the new headquarters building.
