Chapter 851 This mission is so difficult
"Boss, a bowl of beef noodles, please."
After speaking, she probably heard footsteps behind her, turned around and saw a handsome young man with an outstanding temperament. She couldn't help but take another look!
Beautiful things always evoke a sense of goodwill. Chen Xiao could sense a flicker of admiration in the other person's eyes. Was there a chance now?
He had rehearsed his lines countless times before, but the moment he actually opened his mouth, he still felt a little embarrassed. Damn system!
"Beautiful girl!"
Yu Shanshan, who was ordering food, turned her head: "Did you call me?"
Nodding, Chen Xiao opened his mouth, but suddenly found it difficult to speak.
"Is there a problem?"
"Um, could you buy me a bowl of noodles?" Chen Xiao was really going all out! At the same time, he noticed the stunning look on the beautiful woman's face, which looked extremely incredulous!
Yu Shanshan was stunned at first. She hadn't expected that this man, who seemed to have a good temperament and whose clothes, though not brand-name, were of good quality, would actually ask her for a free meal. What era are we living in now? If you're willing to work hard, becoming rich and powerful is difficult, but having three meals a day is definitely not a problem.
"What do you want to eat?" A bowl of noodles wasn't expensive, and she softened and agreed!
Chen Xiao was overjoyed: "Just give me the cheapest one. The smallest portion is fine!" He didn't really have an appetite for the food here; he was only doing it for the mission. If the portion was too big, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to finish it, and the system would count it as him not completing the mission!
Yu Shanshan nodded, "Go find a place to sit!"
"Thank you!" There are so many good people in the world!
Watching him turn and look for a seat, Yu Shanshan sighed. Everyone encounters difficulties. It's just a small favor; she should help if she can. He's so young; he must have a big appetite! Perhaps feeling she was being too generous, she whispered to the owner, "Give him a super-sized bowl of beef noodles, oh, extra noodles, and an extra serving of beef!"
"Okay, beautiful! That'll be 52 yuan in total!"
After paying the bill, Yu Shanshan found a seat but didn't sit with Chen Xiao. Clearly, their meeting was purely accidental, and they might never see each other again!
When the noodles arrived, Chen Xiao was dumbfounded and asked the waiter in disbelief, "Is this a small portion?"
"No way, this is a super-sized portion, with extra noodles and beef!"
Chen Xiao: "."
I used to think it would be easy to get a free meal, but now it seems that life is full of surprises, and this bowl of noodles is quite a challenge!
Having overheard the conversation, Yu Shanshan turned around. Chen Xiao instinctively asked, "Miss, I'll just have the small portion, how about we switch?"
Yu Shanshan smiled kindly and said, "It's okay, eat as much as you want! You boys have big appetites, so I specially ordered more for you."
Chen Xiao was on the verge of tears, but Yu Shanshan saw it as him being incredibly grateful. She smiled again and said, "Eat up, then go find something to do!" Clearly, she considered Chen Xiao an unemployed youth!
There was no other way; for the mission rewards, he had to give it his all! Chen Xiao buried his head in his food, having never suffered like this in his life!
Chen Xiao was sweating profusely as he ate, finally finishing most of the meal, but the remaining tasks were still daunting. He glanced at Yu Shanshan; she seemed to be almost done. Just as he was about to continue eating, Yu Shanshan spoke again!
"Boss, two cans of Coke, one here and one there—"
Chen Xiao was shocked. "My God, giving me cola at this time is worse than poison. That carbonated drink will just leave me with gas; how am I supposed to eat anything?"
"No, I don't need it—"
His flustered appearance made Yu Shanshan chuckle: "Why are you being so polite? It's just a can of Coke! Boss, give it to him!"
Chen Xiao was devastated. He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know if it would cause the mission to fail!
At this moment, Yu Shanshan stood up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and walked over: "I have an interview later, so I'm leaving now! Let's all work hard and believe that we can definitely change our current situation!"
Chen Xiao knew she had misunderstood him as a penniless, unemployed young man, but he didn't explain. This girl was above average in looks, very kind, and the kind of person who made you feel comfortable at first glance!
Having not thanked anyone in a long time, Mr. Chen sincerely thanked her and then said, "I wish you success in your interview!"
Yu Shanshan nodded: "Thank you for your kind words. Come on, let's add each other on WeChat. The company I interviewed with today was excellent. If I pass the interview, I'll come and help you find a job!"
Add me on WeChat? Chen Xiao was taken aback, which led Yu Shanshan to misunderstand: "You don't think I want to pursue you, do you? Don't worry, I have a boyfriend! If you don't want to add me on WeChat, I won't force you!"
"No, don't misunderstand! I'm flattered that a beautiful woman would take the initiative to add me on WeChat!" Chen Xiao took out his phone and let Yu Shanshan scan his QR code.
She paused for a moment, then said, "Given your current situation, you should be more frugal with your daily expenses."
What does that mean? After she left the store, Chen Xiao realized that she must have been looking at his tri-fold phone! He was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat, yet he was using a phone worth over 2 yuan. It really did seem a bit incongruous!
It took Chen Xiao an hour to finish his noodles and drink his cola. Then he started to worry; it was almost noon, and he'd only just finished breakfast. But lunchtime was just around the corner!
After thinking for a moment, I decided to take a bike ride to digest my food. I called Cha Lan and learned that he was at the group company today. I glanced at the time and said, "Old Cha, I'll come to your company in a bit!"
"Oh, great, Mr. Chen! I'll arrange for the cafeteria to prepare the meal right away. We've specially hired a master Sichuan chef for this cafeteria; please come and have a taste today!"
hiccup~
Chen Xiao let out a burp. He felt like throwing up at the mere mention of food; no delicious food could hold his interest anymore!
I'm not going to eat at your place, I'm just going to sit for a while.
I hung up the phone, walked out of the ramen shop, got on my bicycle, and headed towards Zhifei Aerospace!
The first phase of the project of [Zhifei Aerospace] at Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group in the High-tech Zone has been completed. The inspection has been moved over, and the staff of various departments of the company will also be coming over in the near future!
In the chairman's office, Cha Lan picked up the internal phone: "Xiao Qin, the noon meeting is canceled."
Xiao Qin was his secretary. Although Zhang Yan also joined the company as his secretary, her professional skills were insufficient, so she only held a sinecure. His most relied-upon assistant was still Xiao Qin!
"Ah, Chairman, the original plan was for the big boss from the High-tech Zone to lead a team to a meeting at noon, and have lunch in the small canteen!"
"I know, let Vice President Li attend, I don't have time!"
Xiao Qin replied, "Received!", then added after a moment's thought, "By the way, I just received a message that the second boss from Jiangzhou is also here!"
"Even if the Heavenly King himself were here, I wouldn't have time to receive him today—" Xiao Qin stuck out his tongue. What a load of rubbish from the boss! It wasn't that the Heavenly King himself was coming and he didn't have time to receive him. It was definitely the Heavenly King himself who was about to arrive. Xiao Qin thought of that man; perhaps only he could command such attention from President Cha!
Cha Lan hung up the phone, stood up from his chair, and hurried downstairs. Mr. Chen had said he'd arrive in half an hour, but what if he was earlier? It would be better to wait at the guardhouse!
Inside the business director's office, General Manager Liu sat upright on the reception sofa, legs crossed! Finally, they had made it to the industrial park. The main office building had 19 floors, and he had finally managed to get a 100-square-meter office.
Standing in front of him was Tan Yun, who had come to get General Manager Liu's signature to collect the 50 yuan bonus!
"Did Mr. Chen have a bad day yesterday?" Mr. Liu asked as he signed the document.
Tan Yun glanced cautiously at President Liu, wondering if President Chen was that important to him? Was he even concerned about whether President Chen had anything to upset him about?
"Probably not."
"What do you mean by 'should'?" Mr. Liu's hand trembled as he signed the document, and he became nervous, looking up at Tan Yun!
"I answered his questions truthfully, and he seemed satisfied. But at the end, he made a bizarre request, and when I said I needed to think about it, he didn't seem too happy!"
"Huh?" Mr. Liu stood up abruptly and asked urgently, "What request did you make?"
Tan Yun blushed slightly: "It's about me personally."
"No way? He wants you...?" Mr. Liu's eyes widened. Good heavens! Mr. Chen wants you to sleep with him, and you're still hesitating? Do you know how many billions you've missed out on?
Tan Yun blushed even more and nodded.
Mr. Liu gasped, and his tone towards Tan Yun changed: "Tan Yun, please sit down, please sit down, let's talk!"
As he spoke, he poured tea for Tan Yun, leaving her completely bewildered. Sitting on the large, soft sofa, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Mr. Liu sat down again and, in a tone of elder caring for a younger person, earnestly advised, "Xiao Tan, I'm not trying to criticize you. Mr. Chen has such great prospects; it's truly a blessing that you have the opportunity to work with him!"
Tan Yun's mouth dropped open. Fortune? With President Chen?
"Mr. Liu, who is this Mr. Chen? Is he very powerful?" Judging from Mr. Liu's attitude towards Chen Xiao, she knew he was no ordinary person. But at his age, Tan Yun didn't believe he was that powerful. Could he be some kind of second-generation rich kid?
Mr. Liu couldn't reveal Chen Xiao's identity casually, so after thinking for a moment, he replied, "He has deep ties with our group. Trust me, as long as you satisfy Mr. Chen, the chairman will reward you!"
Chairman? Tan Yun's eyes widened. Good heavens, Chen Xiao actually had connections to the chairman? Her breathing quickened!
Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in her. Tan Yun suddenly said with some frustration, "President Liu, no matter how capable he is, he can't arrange my life!"
hiss~!
He can't arrange your life? He can arrange the lives of your entire family, and he can arrange them perfectly!
Mr. Liu glanced at Tan Yun. She was indeed quite pretty, probably a class beauty. But compared to Mr. Chen's wives, she was nothing. Forget Mr. Chen, even if Mr. Liu himself went out to find women, he wouldn't even be interested in someone like Tan Yun!
Thinking of this, he asked with some doubt, "What exactly did President Chen say?"
"He...he wanted me to date a junior employee who had just joined our company."
Ah ~!
Mr. Liu's eyes widened like saucers. What kind of request was this? But then he realized that it made more sense than he had guessed before! So that's why Mr. Chen was interested in Tan Yun; he was actually playing matchmaker for someone else!
Seeing the new employee being shown such concern by General Manager Chen, General Manager Liu had a sudden thought: "Who is that person?"
"Diao Nan just joined our company's Low-Altitude Flight Research Institute yesterday."
After carefully asking how to write the name Diao Nan, General Manager Liu silently made a note of it, determined to befriend this person in the future!
"Alright, Tan Yun! The company won't interfere in your private life. But out of consideration for our colleagues, I suggest you consider that Diao Nan. If you two really do get together, President Chen's promise to give you an apartment is no exaggeration! The company will definitely give you a bonus of no less than 100 million!"
He knew without even asking for permission that Cha Lan would definitely agree! 100 million was nothing to Cha Lan now; even 50 was nothing to him, and Cha Lan didn't even blink!
100 million? Tan Yun's breathing quickened again. Is money really that easy to earn? She suddenly became interested in Diao Nan; the return on this investment seemed quite high!
Leaving Mr. Liu's office, Tan Yun hurriedly picked up her phone, but there was no message from Diao Nan requesting to be her friend. She suddenly panicked; a house plus 100 million yuan—and all those clues were gone?
She secretly messaged her HR colleague: "Sister He, could you help me look up someone named Diao Nan at the Low Altitude Flight Research Institute? I'd like to find his phone number."
Soon, HR representative Sister He replied: "Okay, Tan Yun, what business contacts do you have with them?"
Tan Yun blushed slightly: "I'd like to ask you something~"
Fortunately, Sister He didn't ask any further questions. Getting the phone number of a lower-level colleague wasn't a big deal!
Chucheng Grand Hotel
The banquet hall was brightly decorated, and the newlyweds, guided by the emcee, were bowing to their parents.
There were nearly 20 tables at the banquet. Diao Nan and Diao Chan sat at a round table in the third row. The two of them were the most frequent guests among the younger generation. Diao Chan could only exchange a few words with him. Apart from exchanging greetings with the other older brothers and sisters, they basically had nothing in common.
"Xiao Chan, Chen Xiaoren is actually not bad!"
"Are you out of your mind? Why are you bringing him up out of the blue? Even if he's a good guy, he won't spend his money on you—"
Diao Nan chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily true. He said yesterday that he would lend me 5 yuan."
"Lend you money? He must be out of his mind. He only earns a little money, and instead of giving it to his family, he squanders it all outside!" As she said this, the image of Zhao Xiangjun's stunning beauty flashed through Diao Chan's mind again, and her resentment towards Chen Xiao resurfaced. This guy really doesn't know how lucky he is!
hum-
Diao Nan's phone, which was on the table, rang. He picked it up, glanced at it, and subconsciously asked, "Who added me as a friend?"
He opened the message and froze, completely stunned! The message notification read: "Junior, it's me, Tan Yun!"
If this had happened before yesterday, Diao Nan would have jumped for joy, but now—
Diao Nan reluctantly clicked "no," her eyes filled with sorrow, "Senior, I'm not pure anymore!"
"What are you doing? It's my cousin's big day, are you putting on a tragic show?!" (End of Chapter)
