Chapter 335: Chapter 213: Plastic Sisterhood (3)

So, while Li Man was respectful to Li Xiao, it was only for Gao Yue’s sake. She still needed to cling tightly to President Gao’s leg!

"By the way, we’ve been talking for ages. Where’s our host?"

Hearing her ask again about the host’s absence, Li Man couldn’t help but say, "This *is* President Gao’s office!"

Li Xiao froze and stared at Gao Yue!

Gao Yue smiled. "Xiao Xiao, I’ve changed jobs. That’s why I’ve been so busy these past two days!"

’You changed jobs? You suddenly transformed into the general manager of this Six-star Hotel, leaving me all alone to navigate the world of the idle rich?’

Li Xiao said resentfully, "Miss Xu is so biased, arranging a job for you but not me!"

But this couldn’t be blamed on Xu Wu. Gao Yue was indeed more career-minded than Li Xiao and a better fit for the position.

"Xiao Xiao, you have a husband to support you. Poor me, I’m all alone and have to earn my own living!"

Li Xiao huffed. "Him, support me? His income isn’t even as high as mine!"

Her husband also worked in IT, and his income wasn’t high. When they got married, she had chosen him because he came from a scholarly family, thinking it would be better for raising children.

"I’m going to find Miss Xu later and have her arrange a position for me just like yours. She can’t show favoritism!"

Gao Yue didn’t reply. ’An identical position would be impossible. Two presidents in one company? That’s unheard of anywhere in the world!’

"By the way, Ah Yue, why did Miss Xu and the others acquire all these properties? It doesn’t seem related to their core business at all!"

"Apparently, their offices weren’t big enough, so they just decided to buy this whole area for their group headquarters. As for the two hotels, they said they bought them to make it convenient for lodging arrangements during future corporate meetings."

’Is that something a normal person would say? Buying two luxury hotels just to accommodate people for meetings?’

’So when your employees fly in for meetings in the future, are you going to buy a few airlines, too?’

’The rich really don’t play by the book!’

Li Xiao couldn’t even begin to guess the true extent of Junxiao Investment Group’s power now. "Ah Yue, just how much capital does Junxiao Group control? The rumors are all over the place. Some say tens of billions, others say high tens of billions!"

Gao Yue said, "Since it’s just us, I’ll tell you. I actually asked about this. Miss Xu admitted it herself—Junxiao Investment Group controls over 150 billion in capital!"

"AH—! AHH—!"

Li Xiao and Li Man screamed at the same time.

It was insane! 150 billion in cash, and Junxiao Group hadn’t taken a single loan or done any financing.

’Is this company run by aliens?’

"Ah Yue, I want to join Junxiao Group, too!"

Li Xiao’s attachment to Jiefei Technology was nowhere near as deep as Gao Yue’s had been to Jindi Group. If Gao Yue could leave her old company, then so could she!

"Oh, right! You just said Junxiao Group acquired two hotels. Besides this Lakefront Hotel, there’s the other one, the Junxiao Lake View Hotel. I’ll go plead my case with Miss Xu and ask her to put me in charge of that one. I don’t even mind that it’s only a Five-star hotel. That way, you and I can be colleagues and keep each other company, Ah Yue!"

Li Xiao said this, half-joking and half-serious.

"Xiao Xiao, are you serious? You want to manage that Five-star Hotel?"

Li Man’s heart pounded as she listened. The general manager of a Five-star Hotel! To these big shots, it was a position that could be handed out so casually.

Li Xiao said, "You’ll be the general manager of this hotel, and I’ll be the general manager of that one. How great would that be! We could even be neighbors!"

Then Li Man said, "President Xiao Xiao, isn’t President Gao the general manager of this hotel?"

"What do you mean?" Li Xiao’s brows knitted in confusion. ’But the door says General Manager’s Office.’

"President Gao is the CEO of Junxiao Hotel Management Group now!"

"What—?!" Li Xiao was stunned. She looked at Gao Yue again and saw her smiling, and in that smile, she saw a flicker of Xu Wu.

"You’re the CEO of the hotel group?"

Gao Yue pursed her lips. "Acting CEO. Miss Xu said that if I’m not up to the task, she could replace me at any time!"

’She’s acting all self-deprecating, but you can tell she’s bursting with pride inside!’

Li Xiao pouted. ’Visiting Miss Xu so often really pays off. Gao Yue was always over there, and now she’s landed such a plum job!’

’Great. Just great. Before, Miss Xu was an unattainable ideal for her.’

’Now, even Ah Yue has become someone she has to look up to.’

All the high spirits she’d arrived with had vanished, as had her smug satisfaction with her own life.

"Xiao Xiao, don’t worry," Gao Yue said. "There will be plenty of opportunities. Junxiao Group is only just getting started."

"Take my hotel division, for example. The name sounds grand, but in practice, it just manages two hotels and the Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center. That’s it!"

Li Xiao froze. ’The Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center is under your management too, and you say ’that’s it’?! What more could you want? Are you sure you’re not humblebragging right now?’

"As for the future, I’ve already submitted a proposal to headquarters. My vision is for the hotel division to own no fewer than twenty Five-star or better hotels within two years."

"The other business divisions—commercial real estate, new energy vehicles, even the original Junxiao Capital—are all just getting started. The future is full of potential, and opportunities are everywhere!"

Li Xiao shot her a resentful glare. ’Are you sure you’re trying to comfort me and not just rub it in?’

’Aren’t you just saying all this to tell me that your hotel division is going to become a nationally renowned hotel chain?’

’Aren’t you just telling me that you’re going to be on par with the chairmen of Junxiao Business Management, Junxing Auto, and Junxiao Capital?’

’Aren’t you just hinting that you might even hold a position at the Junxiao Group Headquarters someday?’

’Gao Yue, you still love to show off, but now you do it so subtly it’s almost invisible!’

’We’re best friends; we know each other inside and out. We’re both thousand-year-old foxes, so what’s the use of you playing games with me?’

Li Xiao secretly vowed that from now on, she would visit Xu Wu even more frequently than Gao Yue.

But she forgot that Gao Yue was already a senior executive within Junxiao Group. It was far more convenient for her to go to headquarters to "discuss business" than it was for an outsider like Li Xiao to drop by for a casual chat with Xu Wu.
