Chapter 377: Chapter 227: The Group’s Future Prospects (3)

Chen Xiao wasn’t kidding. If that hotel was for sale, what was stopping him from buying it? Setting aside the hotel’s intrinsic value, the boost it would give to the Junxiao Hotel Management Company’s reputation alone would be hugely beneficial.

Gao Yue took off her coat and hung it on a nearby rack, revealing her voluptuous figure.

She really knew how to dress—sexy, yet tasteful.

Seeing Chen Xiao staring fixedly at her, Gao Yue laughed. "What are you looking at? It’s not like you’ve never seen me before."

Caught staring, Chen Xiao said a little sheepishly, "Well, there are still some parts I haven’t seen..."

Gao Yue rolled her eyes at him. "Well, no time like the present. Why don’t we head inside so you can get a better look and offer some... feedback?"

That’s when the text from Lin Ya arrived.

’Sigh... Ms. Lin, of all the times... Ms. Gao is just asking if I’m ready, we were about to go in, and you have to message me now? Aren’t you just spoiling my fun?’

He sent his room number to Lin Ya, telling her to come find him.

Then he looked up at Gao Yue and said, "Alright!"

Gao Yue shot him a look. ’So shameless!’

She didn’t move from her seat. Chen Xiao realized she was just teasing him. ’So she’s just messing with me!’

’Fine. My Endurance Value hasn’t maxed out yet, so I’ll put up with you for now. I can’t find a good excuse to make a move, and my conscience won’t let me.’

When Lin Ya received the message, her heart began to pound. ’The boss wants me to go to his room?’

’This is a presidential suite... It’ll have everything, won’t it?’

’If he wants to get... busy, we could do that anywhere. What if he makes a move on me?’

’Last time in the office, if Lin Ping hadn’t knocked on the door, he probably would have gone all the way. His hands... they were moving so frantically!’

’Even the Six-fingered Piano Demon couldn’t move his fingers that fast. I heard he plays a lot of League of Legends; I wonder if that’s where he got the practice.’

Her mind was racing, but she decided to go up anyway. After all, the boss had sent his location; it would be inappropriate not to go. Besides... she didn’t seem to mind the idea of being with President Chen. In fact, she was even a little excited.

The Junxiao Business Management employees were all seated in the same section. Xu Wu had already finished her report, and now there was a performance on stage.

When Xu Jun saw Lin Ya get up, he glanced over but didn’t think much of it. ’She’s probably just going to the restroom,’ he thought. ’No need to ask.’

In reality, Xu Jun was also looking for Chen Xiao. Who wouldn’t want to get more face time with the big boss?

This was where men and women differed. Take Lin Ya and Xu Jun, for example.

Xu Jun might have more opportunities to interact with Chen Xiao, but Lin Ya had the chance for a... *deeper* connection.

Gao Yue sat opposite Chen Xiao, separated by a small coffee table. If he lowered his gaze, he had a perfect view of her fair white thighs.

Her legs were so fair they seemed to glow, almost like fine white jade.

"Want a touch?"

Gao Yue said with a smile.

’I’ve already let you pull my skirt off, so what’s the big deal about my legs? And here you are, sneaking glances like a thief.’

Chen Xiao couldn’t tell if she was just messing with him again or if the offer was genuine. For a moment, he was at a loss.

He shot her a fierce glare. "Don’t you tempt me. If I get serious, you’ll be the one leaving this room clinging to the walls."

Gao Yue laughed, her eyes curving into crescents. "I had no idea you were so capable, Boss," she said flirtatiously. "Should I call for backup?"

Just then, the doorbell rang!

She froze. Chen Xiao just smiled. "We have company."

He didn’t dare joke that her "backup" had arrived, since Gao Yue had no idea what was going on between him and Lin Ya.

When Lin Ya entered the room and saw Gao Yue, her face instantly flushed red.

Number Three and Number Four, reunited.

Just moments before at the annual meeting, during the introductions for the heads of each business division, Lin Ya had learned who Gao Yue was.

The CEO of the Junxiao Hotel Management division. Her rank within the Junxiao Group was much higher than her own.

’From that perspective, if Gao Yue is Number Three, then doesn’t that make me... Number Four?’

Gao Yue knew of Lin Ya. After all, Gao Yue was at the Junxiao Group headquarters often enough to occasionally overhear Xu Jun mentioning Lin Ya in his reports to Xu Wu about Junxiao Business Management’s status.

Moreover, she knew that Tianlong International had been acquired by Junxiao Business Management, and that Lin Ya, its former general manager, was now the GM of the Junxiao Square Second Store.

’What’s Lin Ya doing here, coming to see Chen Xiao all alone?’

A single man and a single woman, alone in a room... the situation itself was ripe with possibilities.

’She herself came to see Chen Xiao alone because they were already so familiar. He’d already pulled her skirt off before, so what did she have to fear?’

’So what’s Lin Ya’s story? Could it be that she and him... also? But when would they have had the chance?’

Their inner thoughts flickered by in an instant. Both were veterans of the professional world, and they quickly composed themselves and greeted each other with poise.

"Ms. Gao!"

"Ms. Lin!"

Chen Xiao laughed. "You two are already acquainted. Come, sit down."

Gao Yue shot him a look. ’Acquainted,’ she thought. ’He’s clearly referring to that little episode about being Number Three and Number Four.’

’Back then, Lin Ya had said that if he was ’strong’ enough, she’d strip naked and climb into his bed. And now, he wasn’t just strong, he was absurdly so. Was Lin Ya here to make good on her promise?’

’And Lin Ya recalled their first meeting. Chen Xiao had been having tea with Gao Yue, who had claimed to be his mistress. Given the boss’s status, it didn’t seem strange at all that someone like Ms. Gao would be his mistress.’

’Which meant that she, as Xiao Si, really felt like she was late to the party.’

’It was just as Gao Yue had said back then: even to be Number Four, you had to wait in line, and be careful not to cut.’

Coincidentally, Lin Ya was also wearing a short coat today. Underneath, she had on a top and a black miniskirt, paired with mid-calf boots.

When she took her coat off and sat down, her own fair thighs were exposed, creating a dazzling display alongside Gao Yue’s beautiful legs.

Chen Xiao’s eyes darted from one to the other, not knowing where to look. It was almost too much to take in.

But with both of them here, he didn’t dare get too audacious.

’As the one who arrived later, Lin Ya scrambled to find a good excuse for being there.’

’She couldn’t say she was there to report on work; she reported to Xu Jun, and her reports didn’t even go as high as Xu Wu.’

’So if not for work, why was she here?’

After thinking for a long while, her only option was to bring up Chen Xiao’s request regarding the first-floor adjustments. She began to briefly report on the adjustment strategies she had formulated since...
