Chapter 252: Chapter 186: All In

They weren’t idiots. Zhao Hui had managed to arrange such good jobs for all of them.

He wouldn’t neglect his own sister, so why would she ever deign to come work here as a salesperson for such a pitiful salary?

Fourth Aunt was a woman from the countryside with little education. She rarely socialized, so her emotional intelligence was worryingly low.

A group of people approached from a distance, and Third Uncle had the sharpest eyes.

"Ah Hui’s coming!"

Hearing this, First Uncle and Fourth Uncle looked over. They saw Zhao Hui walking toward them with two other people, pointing at the brands on both sides and explaining something as they went.

Zhang Shijie had been preoccupied with Chen Xiao last night, but on this trip to Jiangzhou, he also planned to scout out key venues and locations for the future expansion of Sa Mo, Yino, and Ledi.

This was Zhao Hui’s turf, and since Zhang Shijie and Liu Haoran were his former superiors, he naturally came out to accompany them.

However, after all he’d been through lately, Zhao Hui was not the same man he used to be. Even when facing Zhang Shijie, he now felt he could speak to him as an equal.

Of course, this qualification didn’t stem from his position as the Vice President of Junxiao Square, but from the fact that he was Zhao Xiangjun’s brother.

Seeing his uncles, Zhao Hui greeted them openly.

He then made introductions between the two groups.

If Zhao Hui hadn’t been there, Zhang Shijie likely wouldn’t have even bothered to glance at these men who looked like old farmers and now worked in the mall’s logistics department.

But as soon as he heard they were his uncles, he realized, ’Doesn’t that make them President Zhao’s uncles, too?’

Zhang Shijie became incredibly enthusiastic, shaking each of their hands with both of his.

He also asked Fourth Uncle if he was facing any difficulties, telling him to voice any problem he had, promising that he would have President Liu provide his full support.

’As far as he was concerned, what did it matter if the company took a total loss on this store, letting Fourth Uncle’s family pocket all the profit?’

’After all, the Zhao Family owned a third of the Yino Group.’

The uncles were stunned by Zhao Hui’s introduction. The CEO of Yino Group.

This was the kind of big shot they had only ever seen on TV—a top boss controlling billions in capital and managing tens of thousands of employees—and he was actually this approachable!

For a moment, none of them knew how to respond. Fourth Aunt, however, spoke up with some persistence, "Since you’re all executives at Yino, could you transfer my niece to my store to be the manager?"

None of them registered her words at first. They assumed she wanted to arrange for some unemployed niece to come help out. ’What’s so difficult about that?’

Zhang Shijie laughed heartily and said, "Ma’am, it’s your store. You can hire whomever you like. If you need our cooperation, we’ll provide our full support!"

Just then, Fourth Uncle snapped out of it and scolded his wife, "You foolish woman, what nonsense are you spouting now? Why would Xiangjun come here to be a store manager?"

The smile on Zhang Shijie’s face froze instantly. Liu Haoran and Zhao Hui were utterly dumbfounded.

’The niece you’re talking about is *President Zhao*? Are you kidding me? If I transferred her here to be the manager, you must be trying to get me fired!’

Zhao Hui quickly stepped in to diffuse the awkward situation.

"First Uncle, you all stay here. I’m going to continue the tour with President Zhang and President Liu!"

’Gotta go now,’ he thought. ’This is so awkward I can feel my toes curling...’

Zhang Shijie now understood. ’So even President Zhao’s own relatives don’t know her true power.’ He could also guess where that power came from. ’Of course, it must be from the incredibly resourceful President Chen!’

「Meanwhile」

That same "incredibly resourceful" President Chen had slipped out of the office and was now cruising the road around Bailu Lake in his Brabus G900 with Zhao Xiangjun.

"Xiangjun, don’t you think we look like a match made in heaven?"

Zhao Xiangjun, in the passenger seat, glanced up at him. "More like a deranged couple, maybe? What are you doing, just driving around in circles?"

Chen Xiao said, "Why do you always have to be such a conversation killer?"

Zhao Xiangjun retorted, "It’s not like you ever say anything serious!"

’Fine, you’ve officially killed the conversation...’

In truth, he wasn’t just aimlessly wandering. He was scouting the area to choose a new site for the Junxiao Group.

As Junxiao Investment Group continued to expand, the 28th floor of Yunfeng Building could no longer meet the company’s needs. He had to find and acquire a new property.

One thing he particularly liked about the offices in Yunfeng Building was that in his spare time, he could look down from the tower and see the boundless expanse of Bailu Lake.

Therefore, he still hoped the new headquarters would be near Bailu Lake, which was why he was driving Zhao Xiangjun around the area.

And as it happened, there was a perfect candidate nearby: a recently completed skyscraper, the Kamen Lakefront CBD Center.

The building stood 296 meters tall and had 58 floors.

Those who reach the summit naturally command the world’s attention.

This tower would serve as the headquarters for Junxiao Investment Group for a long time to come without any issues.

Furthermore, next to the tower was a six-star ultra-luxury hotel and a five-star hotel.

In the future, when the group held large conferences, accommodations would be easy to arrange.

’I’ll have to get Xu Wu to arrange for someone to look into it,’ he thought. ’It would be a hassle if ownership of the tower has already been sold off to multiple private individuals.’

DING! "Mission issued: Acquire 5 commercial plazas within one month."

[Reward 1: Kamen Lakefront CBD Center + The 2 Carmen Hotels]

[Reward 2: Constitution +2, Endurance +2, Health +2]

[Reward 3: Diligence Points +4]

Chen Xiao slammed on the brakes. Zhao Xiangjun jumped in her seat and quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing." He gave her a reassuring look, but inwardly, he was reeling from the shock of the system’s notification.

’What kind of mission is this? It’s a freebie! How much could five commercial plazas possibly cost? And you’re giving me a skyscraper, not to mention two hotels.’

’When did the system get so generous!’

"This is the Host’s year-end bonus..."
