Chapter 359: Chapter 221: Overseas Market (3)

When Chen Xiao arrived, Xu Gang had just finished his report and was about to leave.

Xu Wu told him to wait. "Let me introduce you to the big boss!"

Xu Gang froze. The upper management structure of the Junxiao Group was a mystery. As CEO, Xu Wu was responsible for practically everything.

She was the most powerful CEO he could imagine; both the chairman and the big boss were practically nonexistent.

This invisibility was in terms of work reports, not a lack of reverence.

He had been texting Xu Wu on his way over, but she had been busy with Xu Gang and only just saw his messages. She told Chen Xiao to come straight to her office.

The moment Chen Xiao pushed open the door, Xu Gang’s eyes constricted.

’Is this some kind of joke? For a massive conglomerate like this, it’s one thing for the CEO to be so young and beautiful—she’s a professional manager, after all.’

’But how can the big boss also be a handsome young man who looks like he’s not even twenty-five? If you saw him on the street, you’d think he was a recent graduate!’

He had to believe it, though, because the moment Chen Xiao walked in, Xu Wu stood and smiled. "Ah, the big boss is here!"

Xu Gang scrambled to his feet, flustered. "Hello, Boss!"

Chen Xiao smiled and gestured for him to sit. He wasn’t one for pomp and circumstance and had no airs about him.

He inquired about Junxing Auto’s recent work. Xu Gang delivered his report cautiously as Chen Xiao listened and nodded along.

He never interrupted, allowing Xu Gang to present his report following his own train of thought.

"You’ve worked hard. President Xu Wu often praises you, saying you’re bold, persistent, and wise."

Xu Gang blushed. ’President Xu praises me like that? She’s usually just short of yelling right in my face!’

’Then again, compared to that VP Liu Jian, who she pointed to the door and told to get lost, President Xu is actually very courteous to me!’

"President Xu is too kind. I just follow her instructions. I still have much to learn."

Xu Wu laughed from the side. "You two, stop with the formalities. By the way, Mr. Xu Gang just told me an interesting story. Why don’t you share it with President Chen?"

So Xu Gang retold the story about Hassan.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then smiled. "We really do need to support some overseas dealers. This friend from Arabia won’t just need new energy vehicles in the future. He might have demands for artificial intelligence, drones, and other areas too."

Xu Gang didn’t understand what he meant. Xu Wu shot Chen Xiao a look, and Chen Xiao got the message. ’You can’t do anything without thinking of that Demon Feng, always trying to drum up business for her!’

Chen Xiao felt wronged. ’I’m not just drumming up business for Feng Feifei; I’m doing it for both Feng Feifei *and* Cha Lan. With long-term, stable orders, my Diligence Reward bonus would surely reach a new level!’

Xu Gang didn’t stay long. Xu Wu had only wanted him to meet Chen Xiao, after all. It would be rather comical if the head of the Junxing Auto division—one of their most important future sectors—didn’t even know who the big boss was.

After Xu Gang had left, with just the two of them present, Xu Wu finally allowed herself a long, luxurious stretch.

Chen Xiao quietly watched her: the swell of her chest, her impossibly slender waist, the dramatic curve of her hips below it. He couldn’t help but feel his throat go dry.

The words escaped him before he could stop them: "Tired? Want me to give you a rub?"

Xu Wu gave him the side-eye. "And where, exactly, would you be rubbing?"

Chen Xiao blushed and stammered, "Your back and shoulders, obviously! I just thought you looked tired. What did you think I was suggesting?"

"Are you sure? If it’s just the back and shoulders, we wouldn’t need to use the lounge..."

’Does that mean I missed a chance to go to the lounge?’ Chen Xiao felt a pang of regret.

Xu Wu sat cross-legged on the sofa with her back to him. Chen Xiao sat behind her. The posture looked like something out of a wuxia film, one master transferring energy to heal another. Chen Xiao’s mind even supplied an image of the cultivation technique from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture.

He placed his large hands on her shoulders and felt her tense up for a moment before slowly relaxing...

His hands kneaded her shoulders, but his eyes were glued to the curve of her hips where she sat on the sofa. The line was simply exquisite. Chen Xiao could even hear the sound of his own ragged breaths.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Wu felt Chen Xiao leaning on her, pushing her upper body forward. It was getting tiring to hold herself up.

Chen Xiao couldn’t very well explain that he was unconsciously leaning in to get a better look down below.

He could only say, "I’m done with your shoulders. Time to work on your back!"

Xu Wu, unsuspecting, said, "You know, your technique isn’t half bad. It’s really relaxing. Be honest, did you get all this practice in on Demon Feng?"

"Of course not! President Xu is the very first person to enjoy my services."

That was no lie. He thought to himself, ’Even my darling Xiangjun has never had this treatment.’

It wasn’t that Chen Xiao was unwilling to do it for Zhao Xiangjun; it was that Zhao Xiangjun worried he’d get tired. He was a man too lazy to even trim his own toenails—how could she possibly let him do any work for her?

When it came to spoiling Chen Xiao, Zhao Xiangjun probably had every other woman in the world beat.

Xu Wu was pleased, and her voice softened. "So, after all my slaving away for you, you’ve finally developed a conscience!"

’Slaving away like a horse?’ He couldn’t resist another glance at the beautiful curve of her backside.

’And I haven’t even ridden you yet...’

’Endurance Value, you’re acting up again!’

Thank goodness Xu Wu had her back to him and couldn’t see the flag he was flying.

"Chen Xiao, what are you doing? If you push any more, I’m going to fall flat!"

He was leaning so heavily on Xu Wu’s upper body that she was pitched forward, struggling to stay upright.

"Then you might as well lie flat. It’s hard to massage your back otherwise."

’That’s true,’ she thought. ’It must be hard for him to apply any real pressure to my back while sitting behind me.’

So Xu Wu complied, leaning forward and propping herself up on her elbows on the sofa’s plush armrests.

A bomb went off in Chen Xiao’s head.
