Chapter 823 Is Zhao Xiangjun a sales assistant?
Han Xue spoke up, and without Ma Jian's bodyguards and Nie Feng lifting a finger, the security guards swarmed forward, creating a scene resembling a stone-moving competition.
Nie Feng's eyes widened. He never expected that Ma Jian, a "self-employed individual" whom he had previously looked down upon, could actually speak up for this important figure!
After giving her instructions, Han Xue turned to Ma Jian and asked, "What happened?"
Ma Jian pointed to the outer plaza a hundred meters away—"A friend of mine just had a dispute with someone, and it seems he's injured."
Nodding slightly, Han Xue turned to the person behind her and instructed in her clear, metallic voice, "Have Dr. Jia take a look first."
Ma Jian was overjoyed. This Dr. Jia was Chen Xiao's personal physician assigned to the core members of his family; his medical skills were superb, and Han Xue's mobile medical vehicle was equipped with the world's most advanced medical equipment, even more advanced than that of Jiangzhou Hospital.
Nie Feng rushed to get the car. After the stone block was moved, the medical vehicle arrived ahead of Nie Feng, led by Ma Jian, and went to Xiao Ru and Jiang Lili's side.
Seeing this setup, Jiang Lili forgot all about the pain. Are you kidding me? What kind of person travels with not only a huge bodyguard team but also a medical team?
Two pretty nurses helped Jiang Lili up. After examining her complexion and listening to her condition, Dr. Jia took her pulse. "You were pregnant before, did you know?"
what--
Jiang Lili was taken aback for a moment, then her face changed drastically: "Doctor, you mean...you mean?"
"That's right, you've had a miscarriage—"
Nie Feng had just arrived and hadn't even had a chance to find out how Ma Jian knew this important person when Dr. Jia's words, "She miscarried," left him completely stunned!
"Miscarriage?" Nie Feng was first taken aback, then saddened, and finally filled with boundless anger.
"You bastard, I'm going to beat you to death!" He rushed towards Mr. Gao, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and his bodyguard, and started kicking Mr. Gao hard.
"Alright, Nie Feng! Let's take Lili to the hospital first," Ma Jian stepped forward to stop him. He hated Boss Gao no less than Nie Feng, but this score needed to be settled slowly. Killing Boss Gao here today would only cost him his own life—it wasn't worth it!
When Nie Feng was pulled back, he kicked President Gao twice more.
Xiaoru and Nie Feng helped Jiang Lili into Nie Feng's BMW. Ma Jian said to them, "You go first, I'll go thank President Han and then head to the hospital to meet you!"
President Han? Nie Feng didn't know who that was, but judging from the grand entourage, even the richest man in China wouldn't have such a grand presence. He had a vague idea in his mind.
After receiving simple treatment from Dr. Jia and some special medication, Jiang Lili recovered considerably and felt much less pain. She turned to Xiaoru, who was beside her, and said, "Ma Jian has quite a wide network of connections; he knows so many influential people!"
Nie Feng, who was always cheeky, probably wanted to tease Jiang Lili, so he half-jokingly said, "That's not entirely true. Chen Xiao is just an office worker, and Lao Cha is just an old security guard!"
Old security guard, or madam? He didn't pronounce the last "security guard" clearly. Jiang Lili ignored him and instead said to Xiaoru, "Ma Jian has such good resources; he has a bright future ahead of him, and I think he cares about you a lot."
This can be considered as putting in a good word for Ma Jian in front of Xiao Ru!
Xiaoru didn't say anything. Recalling the way Ma Jian looked when he saw her being kicked down by Boss Gao, and how he was so angry that his face was contorted with rage, Xiaoru suddenly felt that Ma Jian was very handsome and manly!
Previously, Chen Xiao's lack of commitment to one woman lessened the criticism of Ma Jian from the perspective of "birds of a feather flock together".
Inside [Junxiao City]
Cha Lan was unaware of what was happening outside. He rushed up the escalator, and to prevent President Chen from getting impatient, he jogged along the escalator.
Excuse me, could you please let me pass?!
The girls in front of him stepped aside and waited for him to walk away.
"This person is in such a hurry, they're probably rushing to the toilet."
"Hehe, number 23, that guy is dressed quite well. Haven't you always wanted to find an older man? Maybe this is the one destined for you!"
"Hey, Sister Juan. I think you two are a good match! Hehe—"
This group of people were the same people from Tianchi Hot Spring who had separated from Diao Chan. They had finally managed to get out for a stroll, and they were determined to buy something that they could show off to their colleagues and demonstrate their wealth.
Sister Juan is the oldest among them, already in her early thirties. In this industry where youth is a major factor, she's considered an "old-timer"! When they say that Cha Lan is a good match for Sister Juan, they're just teasing her about her age.
Although she was unhappy, Sister Juan knew that her status in the company was lower than theirs. So, she swallowed her anger and kept quiet. Ah, Xiao Chan is so much better; she never bullies anyone.
Once they reached the second floor, Qianqian and Sister Juan lagged slightly behind and comforted her, saying, "Don't take it to heart. They're just taking advantage of the manager's liking for them!"
Sister Juan sighed, "It's nothing!" She glanced casually in the direction where Chen Xiao had been standing earlier, and then asked, "Huh?"
Qianqian followed her gaze and said, "What a coincidence, that old man knows Xiao Chan's client?"
They saw Cha Lan standing next to Chen Xiao, saying something to him, and then accompanied him down another escalator!
"Where's his wife?" Qianqian asked instinctively. People are all drawn to beauty. It's not just men who enjoy looking at beautiful women; women enjoy it too—it's so pleasing to the eye!
Sister Juan stared at it for a while, then replied, "Who knows?"
Sister Juan didn't look away until she saw Chen Xiao and Cha Lan go to [Shushi]. At this moment, the people in front turned around and called out, "Hurry up, we're going to [Samo]!"
"Let's go, Qianqian—" Sister Juan withdrew her gaze. She was also a little confused. Chen Xiao, who had a regular job, went to [Shushi] every day. Young people these days really like to overspend. In Sister Juan's mind, Chen Xiao was probably also overspending on his credit cards. Otherwise, how could he afford a brand like [Shushi] with the company's resources and his so-called small investments outside? He was just showing off!
Once the group entered [SaMo], a figure sat with his back to the door on a dark gray Italian suede sofa. Even just his back view created a breathtaking scene.
She sat extremely upright, as if an unyielding jade ruler were embedded in her spine, exuding an air of dignity and integrity that was completely out of place in the luxurious yet somewhat casual shop environment, creating an aura that was not to be profaned.
What is most captivating is her jet-black hair, thick and lustrous, like the finest black brocade, cascading down like a waterfall, draped languidly yet elegantly over her slender yet rounded shoulders, the ends of which flow with a dark blue-purple halo under the soft light of the overhead lamp.
From that silhouette alone, that swan-like neck, that slender yet breathtakingly beautiful back, it is enough to make any onlooker's heart flutter and leave an undeniable impression: this must be a stunning beauty! No need to see her face, that back view is already a declaration that transcends worldly aesthetics.
Welcome to [SaMo]!
As the greeter called out to the guests, the figure on the sofa, as perfect as a jade sculpture, slowly turned its head with an almost elegant rhythm.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment, then compress instantly. Both Juan and Qianqian were simultaneously jolted awake—it was her—Chen Xiao's wife?
From afar, she appears to be a masterpiece sculpted with the painstaking effort of the Creator; every line is so perfect it's almost despairing. It's as if God, in creating her, meticulously erased all possible flaws, piling upon her every imaginable and unimaginable element of beauty.
Right now, so close!
That breathtaking beauty, far from revealing any flaws as the distance closed, seemed to have its last veil lifted, unleashing an even more suffocating and soul-stirring impact!
Her features were exquisite, like those of a top-tier meticulous painting of a lady, yet vivid and lifelike, devoid of any artificiality. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling, her nose delicate and straight, and her lips a natural, full cherry color. She was breathtaking without any makeup.
But what truly made Sister Juan and Qianqian's souls tremble was far more than this impeccable appearance!
It was the indescribable aura and charm that surrounded her!
It was a sense of existence that was both extremely contradictory and harmoniously unified, enough to make any language seem pale and powerless.
A cool, aloof quality, like the perpetual snow atop the Kunlun Mountains, carries an air of aloofness and nobility that keeps people at a distance; her gaze, in its fleeting movement, seems capable of freezing the air itself. Yet, a gentle warmth, like the spring breeze caressing the willows of Jiangnan in March, is hidden in the slight upturn of her lips, beneath her lowered eyelashes as she listens to the shop assistant, and in the unintentional warmth that melts away even the coldest heart. These two seemingly contradictory qualities blend perfectly within her, a natural and seamless whole.
She merely glanced at them indifferently, her gaze calm and unwavering, as if sweeping over a few insignificant specks of dust, before naturally turning back to continue her hushed conversation with the shop assistant beside her. Her voice was soft, clear and melodious like the clinking of jade stones, the content of which was indistinct, but the profile of her face, intently listening to the shop assistant, was incredibly gentle, creating a subtle yet striking contrast to the coldness of her earlier glance.
Sister Juan and Qianqian recalled Diao Chan's decisive "retreat"! It has to be said that Diao Chan was wise; this woman's beauty and temperament are overwhelming compared to anyone else!
What makes Chen Xiao so lucky to marry such a beautiful wife?
Several technicians from Tianchi Hot Spring picked out a few outfits to try on in the fitting room. Sister Juan and Qianqian also picked one out. When they entered the fitting area, Sister Juan asked the sales assistant, "That beautiful lady sitting on the sofa outside seems to know your colleagues quite well, doesn't she?"
"You mean Xiangjun? She's our colleague, from the same company. But she works for the 'Yirui' brand!"
Ga?
Sister Juan and Qianqian were as if they had been frozen in place. Could such a beautiful woman really be a sales assistant?
They exchanged a glance, and that explained why Chen Xiao, an office worker, was able to win her over.
The two women also seemed slightly regretful, as if they felt Diao Chan shouldn't have been so kind to a client like Chen Xiao. They were even more disappointed that this Zhao Xiangjun, if she wanted to, could have found any man she wanted; why did she have to choose an office worker? What a foolish choice!
Zhao Xiangjun was waiting for Xu Jia here. Xu Jia was the vice president and regional general manager of the Yinuo Group. She managed five provinces and often had to travel for work, so she couldn't visit her every day like she used to when she was the general manager of Jiangzhou.
As her best friend, whom she considered like a sister, she was probably closer to Xu Jia than to Zhao Hui.
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"
Several sales assistants greeted her warmly with smiles. Zhao Xiangjun knew Xu Jia had arrived and was just about to get up!
"Don't move, don't move, my little darling, slow down!" As soon as Xu Jia saw her, she abandoned the strong woman image she deliberately maintained in public and became a complete tomboy.
He jogged over to Zhao Xiangjun's side: "My dear aunt, you'd better take it easy now. If you feel even slightly unwell, I wouldn't have enough heads to chop off!"
Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at her: "Are you a nine-headed bird? When did you grow nine heads!"
"Also, I'm pregnant. It's not like I'm seriously injured. Can you all stop exaggerating like that?"
The saleswomen exchanged bewildered glances. They all knew that General Manager Xu and Zhao Xiangjun were like sisters. But what was General Manager Xu's status now? For her to remember their sisterly bond like before was already a sign that she hadn't forgotten her roots!
Look at President Xu's behavior! He's really treating Zhao Xiangjun like a grandma!
"Let's go eat hot pot!" Zhao Xiangjun stood up!
She loves spicy food, so she can't stop thinking about this Sichuan hot pot restaurant in Junxiaocheng.
"Okay, okay!" Xu Jia stepped forward and helped her up.
“I can do it myself,” Zhao Xiangjun said. She didn’t like being waited on, and she wasn’t a delicate person.
Xu Jia certainly understands her, but doesn't she consider her current status and what the child in her belly means to the Chen family? She can't afford to be careless with those around her.
Chen Xiao led Cha Lan around the store for a while, and then left.
When I arrived on the first floor, I saw a bald man and a young man come in together, but both of them were walking with a limp, as if they had been beaten up.
He didn't pay much attention at first, but then he exclaimed in surprise, finding it strange. How could these two have changed so much in such a short time? Could it be that Nie Feng did it? He didn't realize Nie Feng was so strong.
Hearing Cha Lan's "Huh?", Chen Xiaoqi asked curiously, "You know him?"
As they walked towards each other and got closer, he recognized Mr. Gao!
Cha Lan quietly explained why this guy had blocked Diao Chan's path earlier, and how he had asked Nie Feng to confess his love to him. Hearing his prank, Chen Xiao just smiled and didn't think much of it. (End of Chapter)
