Chapter 354: Chapter 220: Looking Unsophisticated

Filled with resentment, he texted Chen Xiao: "If you don’t get here soon, this huge deal is going to fly away!"

"I’m giving you five minutes to reply. If you don’t, we’re calling off the partnership!"

「Five minutes later.」

"Chen Xiao, what the hell is your problem?"

Ten minutes later, unable to bear it any longer, Jin Wuxian got up again!

Just then, a stunningly beautiful young woman with a graceful and noble air walked in, followed by a young assistant.

He froze for a moment, but he was too furious with Chen Xiao to bother with beautiful women. He walked over to Qiao Xin and said, "Did Chen Xiao get into a car accident or something? Holy hell, he’s not answering texts or calls!"

Feng Feifei was just about to step into the elevator when she heard Jin Wuxian’s morbid crack about Chen Xiao. Her expression instantly turned icy. She said to her assistant, "Have security escort the man causing a disturbance in the lobby out."

Before the assistant could even move, Qiao Xin shot to her feet. "You’re the one who’s going to get in a car accident! Your whole family’s going to get in a car accident! May your own Shanyun Auto burst into flames and get you in a car accident!"

Jin Wuxian was dumbfounded by the tirade. ’I was just kidding around with Chen Xiao. Are the people at this company always this tight-knit?’

He wasn’t about to stoop to a shouting match with a woman. His mood was already foul, and he decided this was all Chen Xiao’s fault. Just as he was about to return to the sofa!

The security guard approached him again. "Sir, please refrain from making a scene in the lobby. If you’d like, you can wait in the security office."

’I... I’m the Young Master of Shanyun Auto! I’m here to deliver an order...’

Thankfully, just then, Chen Xiao finally called back!

"Goddammit, Chen Xiao, you’re a real piece of work! Nothing has gone right for me ever since I met you!"

’The Young Master of Shanyun Auto, nearly thrown out while personally delivering an order. If word of this ever got out, how could I ever show my face again?’

"You showed up without giving me a heads-up, and that’s my fault? What was the rush? In a hurry to get reincarnated?"

He even let out a yawn after saying it!

"The order! The order! A trial run of 1,000 units! A 30 million order! How’s that for dazzling!"

"Could you just be quiet for a second? You sound like you’ve never seen a bit of money in your life. Just wait, I’m on my way over."

After hanging up, he asked Qiao Xin to pour him a glass of water.

With an order from Brother Chen Xiao, Qiao Xin was slightly more courteous. However, she was still furious about him bad-mouthing Chen Xiao. She slammed the glass of water down on the table. "Drink."

’She sounds like she’s feeding a dog,’ Jin Wuxian thought. ’That’s the exact tone I use when I tell my dog to drink!’

’But I can’t prove it!’

’So infuriating... I’m so angry my stomach hurts!’

’Ever since I met Chen Xiao, it’s just been one bizarre thing after another!’

At 11:00 AM sharp, Chen Xiao arrived at Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park. The moment he saw him enter, Jin Wuxian shot up from his seat, ready to let him have it.

But then he heard Qiao Xin say, "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re so early today!"

Jin Wuxian was rendered speechless. Chen Xiao even replied with a straight face, "We have an uninvited guest today. Had no choice but to show up a few minutes early."

’I’ll endure it. I’ll force myself to endure it.’ Jin Wuxian was afraid he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from throwing a punch. What if he started a fight on their home turf and came out on the losing end?

Chen Xiao beckoned to him. "Jin, let’s go!"

’Jin? He’s not even calling me President Jin anymore?’

Jin Wuxian gave the briefcase in his hand a little shake, as if to remind Chen Xiao that the contract was inside.

But Chen Xiao acted as if he hadn’t seen a thing. "Pick up the pace. The elevator’s here!"

Jin Wuxian had no choice but to jog a few steps to catch up. Before he could even speak, Chen Xiao started in on him. "Don’t you know how to make an appointment? Have you no manners? You cost me several minutes of sleep today!"

Jin Wuxian brandished his briefcase again, this time pulling out a file folder from within. "Chen Xiao, would you like a chance to reconsider your choice of words?"

Chen Xiao just smiled faintly. In Jin Wuxian’s eyes, he was just being a pretentious ass.

"Next time you show up without an appointment, I’m not signing any contract."

Jin Wuxian’s eyes went wide. ’This guy’s got some nerve!’

Once they got to the 28th floor, Jin Wuxian was like a kid in a candy store, even walking ahead of Chen Xiao and making himself right at home.

Spotting the large sign for the Business Department, Jin Wuxian headed over first. Chen Xiao shouted from behind him, "How old are you? Stop running around!"

He turned to see that Chen Xiao hadn’t stopped at the Business Department at all. Instead, an impossibly pretty young woman from the department had already risen to her feet. With a captivating smile, she called out sweetly, "Brother Chen Xiao, you’re here!"

Jin Wuxian instinctively followed Chen Xiao. After Ma Jing swiped a keycard to open a door, Chen Xiao said, "Come on in."

Like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, it took him a long moment to finally ask, "This is your office?"

"It is."

"Why is it even better than my old man’s office!"

Jin Fu’s own office wasn’t particularly lavish, so it stood to reason that his executives wouldn’t have better accommodations than the chairman.

’Seeing this luxurious office space of Chen Xiao’s... it really feels inappropriate. The crucial thing is, he’s just a salesman!’

’No wonder he wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I tried to poach him. This place is so decadent and corrupting... it saps a man’s ambition...’

"Does the fact that I’m better at making money than he is count as a reason?"

’Better at making money than my old man? You’re a salesman, and he’s the chairman of Shanyun Auto?’

’Then it clicked. Chen Xiao was being sarcastic about Shanyun Auto losing money. A salesman, no matter how much he makes, is still turning a profit. Shanyun, on the other hand, is losing money. In that sense, isn’t he ’better at making money’ than Jin Fu?’

’What a bastard! An absolute bastard!’

Ma Jing prepared tea for him and was about to leave.

"Wait. Jin, give the contract to Ma Jing. Have her take it to legal for review."

"What’s that supposed to mean? A contract for this much money, and you’re not even going to handle it personally?"

"Ma Jing can handle it."

Ma Jing took the contract, wondering what the total amount was. ’Could it be more than 10 billion?’ After all, she had been the one to handle the contracts with Junxiao Group to establish the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center and the Junxing Super Intelligent Factory.

She took a look. ’Tch! What is this? 30 million!’

She picked up the file folder nonchalantly, as if it were a wilted cabbage leaf she’d found at the wet market, completely draining Jin Wuxian of any sense of accomplishment.
