Chapter 332: Chapter 212: Everyone’s Trying to Disturb My Dao Heart

"Fine. I’ll transfer you five yuan in a bit. We can call it a loan. That way, you’ll owe me, right?"

"Holy shit! I hope heaven strikes you down! Talking to you is pissing me the fuck off!"

He was usually a perfectly normal person, but the moment Chen Xiao was involved, he couldn’t help but curse. The guy was just that infuriating!

"What do you want to talk to my old man about?"

Jin Wuxian had spoken. Chen Xiao knew he was willing to help, but Jin Fu was a busy man. He couldn’t possibly let him go for a casual chat, could he?

He would definitely need to know the reason for the visit before deciding whether to meet.

Of course, if Chen Xiao were to reveal his identity now and go as the boss of Junxiao Investment, Jin Fu would surely roll out the red carpet.

But going as a mere salesman? The difference in rank was just too great!

"Just tell him one of your big brothers wants to talk to him about smart driving and smart cockpits!"

"Which big brother?"

Jin Wuxian was a little confused.

"Me, your big brother!"

"Get the hell out of here! You’re not even as old as me! I’m thirty, and you haven’t even hit puberty!"

"Your skeletal age might be thirty, but your mental age is still stuck at eight. We’re going by intelligence here!"

"Fuck! Get lost!"

Jin Wuxian hung up immediately, but a moment later, he sent a text to Chen Xiao: "Wait for my word."

Smart driving and smart cockpits were Shanyun Auto’s weak points. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, represented the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center—a place that invested tens of billions annually into smart driving research, one of only two such centers in the country!

This might actually be a promising lead. That was the main reason Jin Wuxian had agreed. Banter was banter, but they were all businessmen who knew what was important and what wasn’t.

After that bit of banter with him, the situation in his pants finally calmed down!

Chen Xiao once again reverted to his gentle and refined demeanor, a smile on his face, as if that recent ugliness had nothing to do with him.

Ma Jing pursed her lips. "Time to eat? Your little assistant is here to serve your meal, Your Majesty!"

Chen Xiao looked wary. "Act normal. What’s gotten into you people lately? Don’t mess with my Dao Heart!"

"Me, mess with your Dao Heart? Then why does your gaming friend ’Miss Hua’ call you ’baby’?"

Chen Xiao was speechless. ’How should I know? It must be because I’m so skilled!’

’I’m just popular. People suck up to me everywhere I go. Is that my fault?’

See? His phone was ringing again. Popular people are always busy!

"President Haoran!"

"Hello, President Chen. I hope I’m not disturbing you?"

"Not at all. I was just about to eat."

"Oh! Please, eat first. I’ll report back to you later!"

"Don’t be so formal. We’re friends. Just tell me what’s on your mind."

That single phrase, "We’re friends," nearly brought tears to Liu Haoran’s eyes.

"President Chen, the Yinuo Hanjiang District’s annual meeting is next Wednesday evening. I would like to cordially invite you to attend..."

"President Haoran, I’m not fond of these kinds of occasions. Have President Xu Jun make an appearance instead."

Liu Haoran had expected this outcome. But whether he attended was one thing; whether you extended the invitation was another entirely!

Still, it was a success. Even though President Chen wouldn’t be there, having President Xu Jun, the chairman of Junxiao Business Management Company, attend was still a massive honor!

He had also invited CEO Zhang Shijie. At this year’s Yino annual meeting, Liu Haoran could be considered the man of the hour in the group!

Chen Xiao added, "We can find some time before the New Year for a small get-together."

This was a form of compensation for his inability to attend. Liu Haoran said excitedly, "I am at your beck and call!"

What a coincidence. Bai Lu had also sent him a message, inviting him to an annual meeting.

He wouldn’t attend any of these events. As an invited guest, he couldn’t just sit in the back like he did at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park.

He simply didn’t have time to play the social game with them.

Seeing that he wasn’t agreeing, Bai Lu added, "Are you sure? I’ve made plans with President Feng for that day. We’ll have a few drinks, and then how about the three of us go for an essential oil massage together that night?"

Chen Xiao mulled it over for a long while. The issue wasn’t whether to agree, but whether she was trying to trick him.

"You’re not lying?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"You don’t even dare to go alone with me, but you’d dare with her?"

"Exactly. Alone, I’m afraid you’d try something. But with two of us, you wouldn’t have the guts, right? Especially with your boss there!"

That was true, Chen Xiao had to admit.

"Wait a minute, Chen Xiao. Why do you think President Feng might agree to go with us? You never even questioned that part, did you?"

’Damn it, she trapped me. This whole roundabout conversation was just a setup.’

Annoyed, Chen Xiao replied: "I’m done. You’re not being sincere!"

Bai Lu sent back a smiley face emoji: "Don’t be angry, my lord. As long as President Feng agrees to go, I’ll go with her. How about it? Are you in or out?"

’Is that even a question? Only a dog would miss that!’

"Brother Chen Xiao, which beauty are you chatting with?"

Chen Xiao looked up at the slightly unhappy Ma Jing in front of him. "How did you know I was chatting with a beautiful woman? Why not a man?"

"I can tell from your facial expression."

Oh? Chen Xiao was intrigued. "I’m all ears."

"When you’re chatting with men, you have the expression of a reclusive master, as if you have everything under control."

"And when I’m chatting with a beautiful woman?"

"When you’re chatting with a beautiful woman, you have this indescribably lecherous look on your face, as if you’d charge forward like a dog in heat if she so much as crooked her little finger!"

Damn it! This is intolerable!

"Ma Jing, you get over here! Come to the break room! I’ll show you what ’everything under control’ really means, and I’ll teach you the meaning of ’an assistant made by the rod’!"

Ma Jing giggled and dodged away. Saying what she had been holding back for days made her inexplicably happy.

Chen Xiao wasn’t truly angry, of course. He was just trying to scare her a little. Otherwise, she might really start a rebellion!

Ma Jing placed the meal Qiao Xin had brought for Chen Xiao on the coffee table, then picked it up and sniffed it.

"What’s the meaning of this? Are you afraid it’s poisoned?"

"Poison? I doubt she’d have the heart for that. Drugging it, on the other hand, is a possibility!"
