Chapter 837 5000 Million? Not for Sale
Just as Cha Lan sat down, technician number 88 and another technician came in!
Upon seeing Cha Lan, the two greeted him warmly at the same time: "Hello, Mr. Cha!"
"Ahem, call me VIP or Old Cha!" Cha Lan wasn't too averse to "General Manager Cha" before, but lately, for some reason, it sounds really awkward!
"How do you know me?" Cha Lan asked curiously. "I only came here once, why are you acting like I'm a celebrity out and about?"
The masseur massaging his feet stammered, "At Tianchi Hot Spring, who doesn't know you? Last time you bought 2500 hours in one go—that's unprecedented!"
Chen Xiao laughed: "A fool like no other in a thousand years?"
"No, no, a VIP like none in a thousand years!"
"Aren't high rollers just really stupid?"
"No, no. Mr. Chen, please don't joke around, I didn't mean that!" The technician was almost in tears. What are you doing? I was trying to curry favor with Mr. Cha, even if he didn't give me an extra 2500 hours today, an extra 250 would have been fine! With all this fuss, what if Mr. Cha is unhappy with me and doesn't give me extra hours? Wouldn't I lose all 500 yuan?
"Then look at him, he doesn't look like a big shot at all, he looks more like a pauper."
"Brother, stop joking. How am I supposed to respond to that?" The technician could only lower his head. Fortunately, technician number 88 spoke up to defuse the situation: "Mr. Chen, you must be joking. Who spends a million in one go?"
"You're wrong. The reality is that the richer people are, the stingier they are, and the poorer people are, the more generous they are!"
Technician No. 58, who was providing the inspection service, couldn't help but retort, "Mr. Chen, it seems you're richer than Mr. Cha?"
"Of course, he only has a few dollars." Chen Xiao wasn't lying; that little bit of money was really nothing to him.
"They spend 100 million at once," No. 58 can't forget this incident, which shows how much it affected them!
Cha Lan quickly interrupted No. 58: "Mr. Chen is right, I am a poor wretch! And my fate is sealed, I'll be poor until I die!" He thought to himself, "In Mr. Chen's eyes, I'll always be a poor old wretch!"
"Then what about last time?" Number 58 had no idea that this "poor ghost" was not the same as that "poor ghost"!
"Last time it was the money from selling the house, and I couldn't control myself, so I spent it all!" Cha Lan remembered that he had been playing the role of an old security guard lately!
"Ah—!" Number 58 and Number 88 were both startled at the same time!
Is this for real? Selling his house to pay for technician number 23's extra time? What kind of deep affection does that take? So the question is, why didn't he call technician number 23 today? What was he spending that million for?
Cha Lan seemed intrigued and continued, "Now I rely on others to drive me out, and they pay for my meals."
Chen Xiao turned his head and gave him a sidelong glance. This old man was getting more and more mischievous. He usually had a driver when he went out and an assistant when he ate, so of course he didn't need to spend any money!
Numbers 58 and 88 were skeptical. Was it really that tragic? If his devotion were packaged into a story, wouldn't it make Number 23 famous and go viral?
But number 58 was thinking even more: today is the end for him, he's destined to lose everything!
"When do you open for business on the top floor?" Chen Xiao asked, remembering the important matter he had for the day.
After 7 p.m.
Chen Xiao didn't know why. Was he waiting for Uncle Hat to get off work? Surely not? Surprise inspections at night are common.
Okay, let's meet with that Mr. Zhao first and see who he is. Then, we can explore the bottom of the top floor together with Cha Lan!
"Mr. Chen, are you going to the top floor?" Number 88's eyes gleamed!
"Okay!" Chen Xiao nodded.
"Could you take me up there to see it?" Number 88 was thinking even more. This Mr. Chen always gave out bonus money when he won at cards. If he lost at the top floor, it wouldn't be his problem, but if Mr. Chen won, a casual tip would amount to a lot of money.
"You guys never went up there?"
"No, the guests didn't take us upstairs enough. Oh, but someone did call for number 8."
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. This Number 88 is a scheming bitch; she's trying to sow discord between him and Diao Chan. Hmph, clumsy!
Based on his understanding of Diao Chan, he knew she probably wouldn't go to a place like the top floor. Her personality was similar to his and Xiang Jun's; when she had nothing to do, she liked to find a quiet corner to stay in.
However, he wasn't opposed to number 88 going to the rooftop. "Okay, let's go together!"
Having said that, he stood up and said, "Let's go to your boss's private room!"
Huh?
Numbers 88 and 58 asked in surprise at the same time, "You know our boss?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard he's very powerful. I'll go check him out!" He spoke with an tone completely unlike the excitement one would show when going to meet a wealthy person; it was more like he was going to a circus to watch a monkey show.
"."
Number 58, standing behind, asked, "What about me?"
She wasn't sure if Cha Lan wanted her to come along, so she asked! Having just heard Cha Lan talk about his frugal upbringing, she had given up hope of earning back the 500 yuan she'd made today!
"Let's go together!" Chen Xiao made the decision for Cha Lan! These people don't earn money easily.
Number 88 had been to their boss, Mr. Zhao's, private room. She led the way, saying, "Our boss's private room cost 500 million yuan just to decorate. Its luxury is beyond your imagination!"
Chen Xiao hummed in agreement: "I can't imagine what you can fake with 500 million!"
He originally thought that 500 million wouldn't amount to much, but when No. 88 and No. 58 heard it, they thought he was also shocked and wanted to see just how luxurious it was!
Mr. Zhao was not yet 40 years old. When he saw Chen Xiao and Cha Lan enter, he sat upright on the mahogany sofa, his arms propped up on the back of the sofa, with a slightly disdainful look: "I heard from Lao Yang that you wanted to see me?"
Mr. Yang and Xiao Wu sat to one side. Mr. Yang seemed a little better off, while Xiao Wu appeared somewhat nervous.
Chen Xiao entered and immediately began sizing up this Mr. Zhao. Clearly, this man didn't possess the Zhao family genes. Of Zhao Hui's cousins and even his siblings, almost none were ugly; this Mr. Zhao's appearance was somewhere between illegal and illegal!
"I've heard that the owner of Tianchi Hot Spring has connections with Junxiao Group, and I'm really curious!"
Upon hearing this, both President Zhao and Cha Lan's expressions changed! Cha Lan hadn't expected this to be related to Junxiao Group. He looked at Chen Xiao with a strange expression.
Mr. Zhao sat up straight. "Young man, curiosity killed the cat. Some things, knowing them can actually cause trouble!"
He stared at Chen Xiao with a sinister look, but to his surprise, Chen Xiao showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he laughed heartily and sat down on the sofa opposite him: "It's not that exaggerated, is it? There are too many people and things in Jiangzhou that are related to Junxiao Group. Everyone just treats it as gossip over tea, and nothing bad has happened!"
Looking at his composed demeanor, General Manager Zhao's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "Young man, not bad, you have guts. How about it, come work for me, I'll promise you a bright future!"
"Ah, cough cough cough—", Cha Lan couldn't help but choke! President Zhao frowned and looked at Cha Lan: "And who is this?"
Mr. Yang introduced him from the side: "He's Mr. Chen's friend, a security guard!"
Upon hearing that it was a security guard, General Manager Yang completely ignored him and was about to continue talking to Chen Xiao when he overheard Chen Xiao say, "General Manager Zhao, Old Cha is still your benefactor!"
The room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop!
Xiao Wu's face turned pale with fright. What kind of talk was that? Could President Zhao just randomly claim parents? They all knew what Chen Xiao meant. They were all guests of this [Tianchi Hot Spring], and it wasn't wrong to say they were his benefactors, but who were the recipients? If Chen Xiao said it like that, wouldn't everyone here be President Zhao's parents?
Mr. Zhao's face had turned cold; it was clear he was suppressing his anger. "Consider my suggestion. Working for me will definitely be better than what you're doing now. You'll get excellent training!"
"I'm afraid not. I'm fine as I am, and I don't want to exercise anymore!" With a physique of 130, he felt that his physical abilities were almost like those of Superman. Why would he want to exercise? He didn't want to fly out of the galaxy!
Number 88 and Number 58 sat silently to the side, wondering why the boss had recruited them. They couldn't understand why they had refused the offer without hesitation, given that someone as capable as Boss Zhao was recruiting them.
Mr. Zhao lit a cigarette and laughed: "You're quite easily satisfied. I heard that besides your job, you've also invested in some small businesses?"
"Wow, you seem to know quite a bit about this," Chen Xiao glanced at Xiao Wu, wondering if it was the two of them who said it.
"Here's what we'll do: come work for me. You might as well sell off your little businesses; I'll buy them for you!"
Cha Lan twisted his neck, feeling a bit stiff. He'd been sitting here for ages and had been shocked countless times! He thought he was used to it, but Zhao's words almost made him spit out his drink! Acquiring Mr. Chen's business—ask even the world's largest investment bank if they had that kind of power?
"Forget it, you can't acquire it." Chen Xiao waved his hand, as if Zhao's words were nonsense!
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao appreciates you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with your small businesses!" said Mr. Yang.
Mr. Zhao laughed angrily, pointing at himself: "I can't acquire it? You think I don't have the ability?"
Chen Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood correctly!
Mr. Zhao was defeated by his straightforwardness: "If I want to acquire it, anything under 5000 million is not a problem!"
"The problem is, even at 5000 million, I wouldn't sell!" Chen Xiao replied seriously.
Aside from those who were browsing, others felt Chen Xiao was performing a skit. What kind of business do you have that you won't sell for 5000 million? You know perfectly well that President Zhao won't buy it for 5000 million; that's his limit, not that he's willing to buy your business for 5000 million.
Mr. Zhao didn't expect this young man to be so disrespectful. He had intended to show off, but now he'd become the straight man in the comedy.
"President Chen, what do you think of Junxiao Group?" President Zhao changed the subject, asking a question that left Chen Xiao a little confused!
"Good, very good, excellent!" Chen Xiao never hesitated to praise himself, and added at the end, "It will definitely be the world's number one company in the future!"
The room fell silent again. This guy was just acting all arrogant a moment ago, but now he's all over Junxiao Group! Everyone in the room knows Junxiao Group is powerful, but to say it's the number one company on Earth, it's still a ways off, isn't it?
Even the usually silent Cha Lan added, "It's not just number one on Earth, it's number one in the entire Milky Way!"
Chen Xiao glanced at him discreetly: "Old Cha, your flattery is truly disgusting!"
Cha Lan chuckled, while the others looked at Chen Xiao with some odd expressions, thinking to themselves, "You're calling others? You were the first one to film this, okay? If we're talking about disgusting, you're even more disgusting!"
"Since you admire Junxiao Group so much, I'll reveal a little more to you. I do indeed have a close relationship with Junxiao Group, specifically with its boss!"
hiss--
Everyone else present had heard the rumor, but hearing it from Mr. Zhao was still extremely shocking. That was the owner of Junxiao Group, whose assets were said to exceed one trillion! And that was real net worth, not just stocks!
Chen Xiao smiled and asked, "Could you elaborate on your specific relationship with the boss of Junxiao Group?"
“Relatives~!” After saying that, General Manager Zhao looked around, with a feeling of “who in the world can rival me!”
Chen Xiao stared at him for a long time, and Cha Lan's eyes widened as well! You're a relative of President Chen, don't you know President Chen?
But if this happened in Jiangzhou, pretending to be a relative of General Manager Chen, are you really not afraid of death? Is this guy surnamed Zhao really that foolish?
Chen Xiao pondered, could it really be a relative of Xiang Jun's family? But Zhao Hui said that his family didn't have a relative named Zhao Rui.
"Mr. Zhao, would you have the opportunity to introduce me to the owner of Junxiao Group?"
There was another moment of rapid breathing in the room. Xiao Wu wondered what was wrong with him? He heard about the owner of [Tianchi Hot Spring] and immediately asked someone to introduce him to him!
Now that I've heard about the boss of Junxiao Group, I'm going to meet him again. It seems like he's going to meet whoever he hears about!
"You're overthinking it. Who is that person? Do you even dare to dream of meeting them? Even I have a hard time getting a chance to meet them!"
"Difficult to see? That means you still have a chance to see it?" Chen Xiao became curious!
Mr. Zhao smiled smugly: "Of course, I'll have the opportunity to have dinner with Mr. Chen next week. Oh, speaking of which, I just remembered, you and Mr. Chen are from the same clan!"
Cha Lan's expression became even more strange. What was going on? Was this guy bragging? But his expression didn't seem to suggest it!
"Family, definitely family, so very family!" Chen Xiao pondered Zhao's words. He himself didn't even know he was having dinner with him next week.
"Mr. Chen, those are high-end gatherings, so don't even think about it. The drinking parties Mr. Zhao attends are beyond our reach!" Mr. Yang said from the side, then added, "Let's begin, let's play a few rounds of Guandan!"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily, quite "confident," "If President Zhao really can have dinner with President Chen next week, I bet I'll definitely be able to meet him!"
"Alright, let's play cards!" As he stood up, General Manager Zhao said to Chen Xiao, "General Manager Chen, you're a brave young man. But don't be too arrogant—"
Arrogant? Cha Lan grinned. Who the hell is arrogant? Only President Chen is teasing you. If you reveal your identity, you'll be the one who's embarrassed!
Chen Xiao wasn't angry: "I'm not being arrogant, I'm very certain—"
As Mr. Zhao sat down at the card table, he sneered, "So what if you're following me?" His tone was already tinged with displeasure. (End of Chapter)
