Chapter 653: 529 You’ve worked hard

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Tianci Capital.

Jiang Chen, returning from his trip with Jin Officials Travel, paused as he was greeted politely by the receptionist.

With looks that could rival a movie star, the receptionist who was an absolute beauty yet underutilized in her role, maintained a pleasant smile.

Seeing her stunning face made Jiang Chen smile wryly.

Even in professional attire, her image was still etched in his memory.

After all, he had spent a hefty seventy million to secure her freedom!

Indeed.

This excessively beautiful receptionist was none other than Nan Xu, the former top courtesan of the Qin Garden.

How did Luo Peng manage to bring her to the company?

A seventy million worth receptionist.

Now that’s really throwing one’s weight around.

Despite being surprised, Jiang Chen didn’t engage in much conversation with Xia Wanqing and, with a composed nod, proceeded into the company.

"What’s this situation?"

He arrived at Luo Peng’s office.

"What’s up?"

Luo Peng, who was busy with paperwork, looked up in confusion.

Jiang Chen gestured towards the outside with his eyes.

"Why did you bring Miss Xia into the company?"

Luo Peng realized and then explained, "What else could I do? I couldn’t just keep her at home all day. You know people start to overthink when they’re idle, so I found her something to do."

"That’s your reason for making her the receptionist?"

"What’s wrong with being a receptionist?"

Jiang Chen sat down, chuckling, "She was the top card at the Qin Garden. Don’t you think she might feel underappreciated in this role?"

Luo Peng gave a wry smile, "What can I do about it?"

"At the very least, you could’ve made her your assistant."

Jiang Chen’s smile turned suggestive, "Back in school, didn’t you always mutter about wanting a sexy and enchanting secretary like in the movies?"

Without any exaggeration.

Xia Wanqing’s beauty surpassed that of those actresses by a long shot.

"Have her as my assistant?"

Luo Peng laughed and straightened up, elbows propped on the desk, "What would people in the company think of me then?"

Jiang Chen looked at him astonished, as if seeing him in a new light, "Since when have you cared about what others think?"

"Oh, shut up."

Luo Peng laughed and cursed.

"The example starts from the top. As the CEO, I should at least care about my image, right? And it’s not like I haven’t considered it. It’s just that she didn’t agree to it."

"She didn’t agree?"

Luo Peng nodded, "Yeah, she said she doesn’t know anything and thinks it’s good to be a receptionist, where she can learn gradually."

Jiang Chen looked thoughtful.

Truly worthy of being the top courtesan of the Qin Garden.

She was genuinely exceptional.

Consider this level of understanding.

How could men resist such a reasonable, discerning, and beautiful woman?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luo Peng frowned.

With a strange look in his eyes, Jiang Chen sighed, "Your life as a playboy might be coming to an end."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Peng was puzzled.

Jiang Chen shook his head, offering no explanation.

Luo Peng felt confused but didn’t dwell on it, starting to complain, "You’re really carefree as a hands-off manager, traveling all over the place every day. I should follow your example. Give me a break; I need to go out and clear my head too."

"Look at you talk."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Who said I was just playing around? I’m doing this for the company’s sake, you know."

Luo Peng couldn’t be bothered to respond and rolled his eyes.

Jiang Chen took out a document from his briefcase and threw it onto the desk.

"See for yourself."

"What’s this?"

Luo Peng picked it up and realized it was a contract. After flipping through it briefly, he exclaimed in astonishment.

"One-point-five billion? You’re not joking, right?"

"It’s in black and white, no joke. Do you think I’m really doing nothing? In fact, I’ve been scouting for projects."

Jiang Chen spoke seriously.

"Afang Palace? I’ve never heard of it."

"The place is in Capital City. Get a headhunting firm, hire some talent related to the catering industry, and have them get over there and connect as soon as possible."

Luo Peng looked up.

"Such a big project of one-point-five billion, why didn’t you discuss it with us?"

"Relax, I’ve fully investigated it, and it definitely won’t be a loss."

Luo Peng was at a loss for words, unsure where the other’s confidence came from.

"I struggle over budgets of a few hundred thousand, bargaining laboriously, while you, with a sweep of your hand, commit to one-point-five billion."

Luo Peng put the contract on the desk and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Had I known, why would I have bothered?"

"You can’t really say that."

Jiang Chen said, "We’re an investment company, not a charity. Every penny has to be spent where it’s needed most. I’m spending one-point-five billion on Afang Palace because the returns it will bring me are far more than one-point-five billion."

His words were plain but full of substance.

Seeing his confidence, Luo Peng naturally had nothing further to say, "Alright then, I’ll get in touch with the headhunting firm and have them start looking for people right away."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"By the way, want to come over for dinner tonight?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to leave, Luo Peng suddenly said, "Wan Qing has been cooking, and she’s always said she wants to thank you."

"I’m afraid I can’t tonight."

"What’s up?"

"Director Shi is being discharged from the hospital, and there’s a banquet tonight that I have to attend."

"Shi Zhenhua?"

Luo Peng asked in surprise.

"Mhm."

Founder of JinHai Industrial and a legendary figure in business, Luo Peng himself looked up to him as a role model.

"Well then, some other time."

"Sure, you carry on with your work."

Jiang Chen got up and left.

Six in the evening.

Hilton Hotel.

One after another, imposing luxury cars arrived, and as the doors opened, each person who stepped out had an air of distinction.

Jiang Chen drove out with one of the company’s cars and, after a bodyguard’s check, arrived at the banquet hall entrance, where he saw Shi Qianxi’s grand uncle greeting guests at the door.
