Chapter 340: Chapter 215: Still Need Black Goji Berries?

Getting a discount might not be the most important thing; what’s important is staying in touch!

"Also, I’d like to invite you to attend when the time comes!"

Gao Yue smiled and said, "President Ding, you’re looking out for my business. Don’t worry about the annual meeting, I’ll arrange it!"

Gao Yue had always handled this kind of thing herself. She didn’t even need to ask Ding Yong what he wanted; she knew better than he did!

As for attending the Jindi Group’s annual meeting, she agreed to that as well. It was a chance to return home in glory, and with her show-off personality, of course she wouldn’t refuse!

"Also, regarding Junxiao Group, I’m thinking of inviting President Xu."

He was asking for Gao Yue’s opinion but held out little hope that President Xu would attend. After all, she was so busy!

The invitation was, on one hand, a sign of respect. On the other hand, if President Xu actually found the time to attend, it would be a huge boost to his prestige!

Gao Yue thought for a moment, then said bluntly, "You should definitely invite her, but she probably won’t be able to make it."

Junxiao Capital now held controlling or minority stakes in over a hundred companies, and almost all of them wanted to invite President Xu to their events. She rejected basically all of them.

She had only attended the annual meeting for Dr. Feng’s Robot. Gao Yue now knew it wasn’t just because the two companies had partnered on the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center, a project Junxiao Investment Group had poured tens of billions into and that Xu Wu valued highly.

More importantly, it was because of Chen Xiao. Otherwise, Xu Wu wouldn’t have gone at all.

Why would she attend any other company’s annual meeting!

Ding Yong knew this as well, and he found Gao Yue’s frankness rather endearing.

Endearing, yes! After his former subordinate joined Junxiao Group, he felt she had suddenly leveled up several notches.

And then there was President Xu... it seemed his circle and hers were two different worlds entirely.

Xu Wu was indeed very busy. It was the end of the year! She had to approve the year-end KPIs for all the business divisions, even though some had only been established for a month, or even just a few days.

But with the new year coming, they had to give out some sort of year-end bonus, right?

It wasn’t like Junxiao Group was short on cash; they were never stingy with their employee compensation.

But there had to be a standard for how much to give.

Unfortunately, how long had Junxiao Group even been around? Everyone had just been plowing ahead with work, and no one had given a thought to year-end bonuses.

Have you ever seen a company give out year-end bonuses after only being established for two months, let alone a few days?

Take Gao Yue’s Junxiao Hotel Management Division, for example. It was established in January. It didn’t even exist for a single day last year, so how could they even talk about a year-end bonus?

"Uncle Chen, did some pretty young thing charm you so much you forgot the way back to the office?"

Reading the message from Xu Wu, Chen Xiao could tell she was a bit annoyed.

He really had gone too far. It had been almost a week since he’d been to Yunfeng Building. Even a hands-off boss wasn’t *this* hands-off.

But he was great at making excuses for himself. He was doing this to protect Xu Wu!

The truth was, his Endurance Value was affecting him more and more lately. Plus, the woman at home was having her time of the month, and he was about to die from frustration.

Among all the women around him, after Zhao Xiangjun, Xu Wu was the most considerate of him. If Chen Xiao were to give in to his primal urges, she would absolutely sacrifice herself to satisfy him.

Chen Xiao was absolutely certain of this, which was why he hadn’t dared to go see her recently.

"I’ll head over in a bit."

"Hmph. All smiles for the new, no tears for the old. All men are the same!"

Chen Xiao scratched his head as he read her reply. ’You have no idea,’ he thought, ’I’m the one who’s been so pent-up these past few days I could cry!’

Xu Wu was just venting. She didn’t actually expect Chen Xiao to come and help her with anything.

After sending the message, she went back to thinking about the issue of distributing year-end bonuses for the various business divisions.

On his way to Yunfeng Building, Chen Xiao received a call from Jin Wuxian.

"What did Chairman Jin say?"

"My old man asked if you can represent the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center."

"What did you say?"

Jin Wuxian retorted irritably, "Isn’t that what I’m calling to ask you? How can I answer him if I don’t have the answer myself!"

"Which is why I said your brain is fried. If I couldn’t represent it, why would I have asked you to set up a meeting?"

Jin Wuxian couldn’t stand talking to him. Every conversation left him too angry to eat.

"Chen Xiao, you’re asking for a favor. Can you not be so arrogant? How do you ever close a deal acting like this?"

"First, I’m not asking for a favor, I’m here to give a gift. Second, I’ve always been arrogant when I do business. If I’m not arrogant, I can’t close the deal!"

"Holy shit, you really are arrogant. Let’s see if you can actually close this deal when you get here!"

After hanging up, Jin Wuxian was still cursing under his breath. ’Doing business with arrogance? Even with my status, I still have to beg people,’ he thought.

After parking in the Yunfeng Building garage, he spent the elevator ride repeatedly warning his Endurance Value, even though he knew it was pointless.

’Don’t you cause any trouble today. What if I lose control and Xu Wu just goes along with it...’

His mind raced with wild thoughts, and he no longer knew if he wanted his Endurance Value to cause trouble or not.

By the time he reached the door to Xu Wu’s office, he was already prepared to yield, but when the assistant opened the door, he saw a third person inside.

’All that worrying on the way here was for nothing. Looks like we won’t be alone.’

Gao Yue was there too. She was there to report on the design plans for the Junxiao Lakefront CBD Center, which was the main reason Xu Wu had summoned Chen Xiao in the first place.

Gao Yue had arrived just before Chen Xiao. Seeing him enter, she stood up and called out in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Boss!"

She even shot him a seductive glance. Chen Xiao pretended not to see it. ’So brazen,’ he thought. ’Don’t think I won’t put you in your place just because Xu Wu is here. Believe it or not, the two of you together wouldn’t be a match for me.’

Xu Wu poured tea for Chen Xiao herself. "President Chen, would you like some black goji berries?"

Lines of exasperation appeared on Chen Xiao’s forehead. ’You’re trying to stir up trouble, aren’t you?’

Xu Wu was teasing him, implying he spent all his time frolicking with women.
