"Boss, can you come to the company?"
After a day of exams, Xia Xu had just returned home with Tang Youxin when he received a call from Chen Leyao.
Although both the Investment Department and the Risk Control Department agreed that there was no problem with Griffin Jones' investment project, Chen Leyao did not dare to make a decision on her own, given that her boss had previously mentioned certain risks involving Griffin Jones.
"All right."
After hearing this, Xia Xu nodded, changed his clothes, brought Atuo and quickly arrived at Nanhu Building.
Then... he was stopped by the receptionist of his own company.
"Hello, little brother, are you looking for someone?"
A petite and cute girl with a baby face stopped Xia Xu.
"Xiaoyue, this is our boss."
Fortunately, Chen Leyao had already rushed out to greet them, and immediately explained when she saw this scene.
"Ah? Boss! Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect you to look so young."
The receptionist, who was called Xiaoyue by Chen Leyao, was immediately flustered and bowed repeatedly to apologize.
"It doesn't matter. You've never seen me in the first place, so I can't blame you for this."
Xia Xu smiled indifferently, then followed Chen Leyao inside.
They had just walked a short distance inside when they heard the front desk staff exclaim in a low voice: "You will never guess who I met. Our big boss just came."
“Is this true or false?”
"Of course it's true. How could it be false if Mr. Chen came out in person to pick it up?"
"What does our boss look like? Is he handsome?"
"Haha, you have no idea what the boss looks like. I guarantee you wouldn't recognize him if he passed by you. I just made a mistake, but luckily the boss was generous and didn't make a fuss."
"I just want to ask you if you are handsome? If you are handsome, I will definitely recognize you."
"Of course he's handsome, a young hunk, but tall and big. To me, he looks like a suited thug in a movie. I bet he's got lots of muscular muscles underneath his clothes. Slurp~"
The receptionist Xiaoyue was naturally not talking to herself, but sent a voice message to the company group, which immediately sparked a heated discussion of gossip.
until…
"I seem to feel that someone is saying that I am handsome?"
A faint voice suddenly interrupted the crowd's conversation.
The work group suddenly fell into silence for a moment.
This is a general company group of Xinghai Venture Capital. Chen Leyao created it personally to facilitate communication. Naturally, she also pulled Xia Xu into it. He was one of the first to join, but he just blocked the prompts and didn't see it.
Just now I heard the receptionist Xiaoyue secretly sending a voice message, so I suddenly had the urge to open the group and take a look. I decided to take this opportunity to get to know everyone.
Although I have only been away for three or four days, there have been quite a lot of changes in Xinghai Venture Capital.
Chen Leyao is very efficient in his work. He completed the recruitment of basic employees within a few days and built the framework of each department with the eight people he recruited from Griffin Jones.
At this time, Xinghai Venture Capital already had more than a hundred employees, each doing their own job. They were busy running around and immersed in discussions everywhere, and the company was beginning to show signs of prosperity.
However, I don’t know whether it is Chen Leyao’s bad taste or coincidence, but most of these employees seem to be women, and the overall situation is that there are more women than men.
"Fuck, the boss is in this group?"
"Boss, are you really as handsome as Xiaoyue said? Slurp~"
"Boss, where are you? Why can't I see you? There's only a handsome guy next to Mr. Chen."
"Hahaha, that's the boss. Didn't you expect that? Our boss is truly young and rich. I'm shocked. Sisters, you better seize the opportunity."
"Mr. Chen:???"
"Why should the sisters seize the opportunity, but we men can't? When will the men be able to stand up?"
After a moment of silence in the company group, news burst out again with an even more violent gusher, and some bolder people even took the initiative to @Xia Xu.
Xia Xu glanced at the group messages with a dark face, and seeing that the topic was becoming more and more cheerful, he stopped participating.
"Don't you all have to work? Those who just replied to the message are just slacking off, right?"
However, Chen Leyao scolded again from inside.
As soon as the genuine 'Mr. Chen' appeared, everyone was immediately silenced, and the group became deserted again.
"How is it, Boss? I hope I didn't disappoint you."
Walking along the corridor and looking at the interior of the company, Chen Leyao came to Xia Xu's exclusive office and then spoke with a smile, as if she was seeking credit and praise.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Le Yao. You have managed the company in perfect order in just two or three days."
Xia Xu said with a smile, sitting in his office chair to try it out, and finally straightened his expression and said: "Sister Le Yao, let's talk about business first, what's the matter with you calling me over?"
He had already told Chen Leyao that he was going to take the college entrance examination in the next two days, so he knew that Chen Leyao would not disturb him unless it was something important.
"The first thing is to let the company's people meet you, the big boss. Otherwise, you are such a hands-off manager that even the company's front desk won't recognize you."
Chen Leyao rolled her eyes, her foxy eyes inadvertently revealing all kinds of charm, as if she was complaining, which made Xia Xu shiver.
"What about the second thing?"
Even though he had trained his "resistance" with the little white flower, this completely different charm still made Xia Xu's mood fluctuate a little, and he hurriedly asked.
"Griffin Jones came to see me again today. To be more precise, he came to see our Xinghai Venture Capital and said that he wanted to cooperate on an investment project."
Chen Leyao seemed to realize that she had lost her composure a little bit, and tried to regain her serious look. She took out the report from Griffin Jones and handed it to Xia Xu, saying, "I have verified it with the consulting company you mentioned, and after discussing it with the investment department and risk control department, the conclusion reached is that there is no problem.
But I heard you mentioned that Griffin Jones seemed to be involved in something, and his background was mysterious, so I didn’t dare to make a decision on my own.”
"Griffin Jones?"
Xia Xu was surprised when he heard Chen Leyao's report.
After all, Meng Bochao and Yang Bowen's surveillance is not mind reading. They don't know much about what Griffin Jones has been thinking about these days, so naturally they can't report everything to him.
He had anticipated that Griffin Jones would become aware of his rival Xinghai Venture Capital after his crazy interception in the past few days, but he did not expect that they would come to him so quickly and decisively.
He first picked up the document and glanced through it briefly, then a glimmer of understanding flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sister Le Yao, did Griffin Jones say how much he was willing to invest?"
"He will take out two million. He said that this is all his current liquid funds. The rest has been temporarily trapped in the stock market."
Chen Leyao replied.
"Well, go tell him tomorrow that Xinghai Venture Capital will take care of the entire project, so he doesn't have to participate."
Xia Xu chuckled and threw the document onto the desk.
"This... Boss, isn't this a bit bad?"
Chen Leyao hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said, "After all, he came to us seeking cooperation, and he is so sincere in providing a comprehensive analysis. If we completely kick him out, it will not be good for our Xinghai Venture Capital's reputation in the industry if the incident gets out of hand."
"Haha, Sister Le Yao, you don't understand. Griffin Jones must be looking forward to not having to bear any losses at all."
Xia Xu chuckled.
Chen Leyao also responded sharply: "Boss, do you mean there is a problem with this project?"
"Of course there are problems, and they are big ones."
Xia Xu sneered: "Griffin Jones is really bold to spend half of his wealth just to cheat us."
"Is Griffin Jones deliberately trying to trick us? Why would he do that?"
Chen Leyao asked doubtfully.
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
Xia Xu said: "Xingcheng is so small. When I recruited Zhang San and his friends, Griffin Jones was also planning to recruit them. So you can say that I snatched these people from Griffin Jones."
"No wonder..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Leyao understood and was a little amused.
There is no need to talk about Zhang San. The other eight people are now the pillars of various departments of Xinghai Venture Capital. Their talents and character are impeccable. If they had snatched them away from under Griffin Jones' nose, it would be strange if they didn't become enemies.
In fact, not to mention them, it seemed that I had also been contacted by Griffin Jones before meeting the boss
After suffering setbacks one after another, all the talents he had his eyes on were poached by his own boss. It would be strange if Griffin Jones didn't hate Xinghai Venture Capital to death.
