Chapter 813 What face can this possibly earn?
Chen Xiao didn't even look up when he heard Diao Chan's words.
"Even if you bring back everything from one store, you still can't wear them all. You can't wear the same brand of clothes every day, can you?"
Diao Chan snorted: "Foolish, why are you wasting money like this? I have clothes to wear. Besides, I work here every day and don't go out. What do I need so many clothes for?"
Chen Xiao waved his hand: "It's just a piece of clothing, stop nagging. It's annoying!"
Diao Chan's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she held back and didn't retort. After all, he had given her a gift, and she couldn't be so ungrateful!
buzz-
Diao Chan's phone rang. Because she was familiar with Chen Xiao, she put her phone aside this time and didn't put it in the toolbox.
"Answer your call," Chen Xiao said softly, lying on the sofa bed.
“It wasn’t a phone call, it was a message—” Diao Chan said, picking up her phone to look at it. Then she looked up: “Qianqian knows I went out to dinner with you tonight, she asked me to ask how you got here?”
Chen Xiao, unsuspecting, replied, "You came by bicycle!"
Diao Chan replied to Qianqian obediently, and soon Qianqian replied with another message, this time a voice message.
[Qianqian: Riding a bicycle? Aren't you going to a friend's dinner party? His bicycle can't carry passengers, and besides, it's so hot, riding a bicycle isn't appropriate.]
Before Chen Xiao could speak, Diao Chan replied with a smile, "You're so worried. If riding a bike isn't an option, we can just take a taxi, right?"
Soon, they replied again:
[Qianqian: Xiaochan, how about this, I'll lend you my Audi A3 to your friend's dinner party. Driving there will make you look good!]
Diao Chan then realized that Qianqian had asked her to lend her her bicycle, since Chen Xiao couldn't carry anyone on his bike. She asked, "Did you hear what Qianqian said? What did you say?"
"What kind of prestige can you gain from a beat-up Audi A3?"
"You—", Diao Chan puffed out her cheeks in anger. "You're really biting the hand that feeds you! They kindly lent you their car. Not only did you not say thank you, but you also complained about how bad their car was!"
She originally asked Chen Xiao if he needed to use Qianqian's car. Who asked him what the car was like, or if it would make him look good?
"Hey, do you need Qianqian's car?" Diao Chan asked again when he didn't answer.
"Chen Xiao, you don't actually know how to drive, do you?"
"What era are we living in? What kind of people can't drive?" Chen Xiao joked. These days, even those who haven't graduated from university will get a driver's license, right?
Diao Chan pinched him angrily, "So what if I can't drive?"
Chen Xiao was surprised to have accidentally injured an ally and asked in surprise, "I remember once in our chat you said you had a driver's license!"
“Having a driver’s license and knowing how to drive are two different things. When I was learning to drive, my instructor advised me not to drive in the future—to avoid harming others!” When she said “avoid harming others,” Diao Chan pouted, “That’s really discouraging!”
This made Chen Xiao burst into laughter. "Your coach has a really good eye for talent!"
Diao Chan was furious: "I'll go get you some fruit to shut you up!"
Chen Xiao said "Oh," and added, "Wash it clean."
"Chen Xiao, if you ever get beaten up, it'll definitely be because of your mouth. Every time I wash fruit for you, I wash it at least three times, and I check it repeatedly to make sure it's absolutely clean!"
Waving his hand, "Alright, I know. Keep it up!"
Diao Chan gritted her teeth, but ultimately remained silent. Talking to him would only make her angry, and even if she argued with him, he seemed indifferent.
Before leaving, I said, "Then I'll ask Qianqian to lend me her car."
“Hmm—” Chen Xiao didn’t refuse. Although the bodyguards all drove Mercedes-Benz GLSs, he could have asked for any one, but during his interactions with Diao Chan, he was “pretending” to be an office worker, and driving a Mercedes-Benz GLS would be rather intimidating.
Diao Chan carried the [Shushi] skin suit that Chen Xiao had bought for her back to the technician's room, put the shopping bag next to her locker, and then went to wash the cherries she had prepared earlier.
As soon as she left, the technician's room erupted in chaos:
"When number 8 came back from her shift, she was carrying a shopping bag. Was it a gift from a customer?"
"Of course it is! It doesn't look like it was bought online at all!"
Someone stepped forward and took a look. "What brand is this? I've never seen it before."
"No way, she might have really bought it online on the 8th. It seems like most of her clothes are bought online!"
"No, the packaging of these clothes is so exquisite, it doesn't seem like an online shopping item."
"Yes, it was probably a gift from a customer. Wasn't the customer she just saw Mr. Chen?"
"Yes, but not a manager, just an office worker..." Number 88 said, somewhat annoyed. She remembered being rejected when she tried to add Chen Xiao on WeChat!
"Huh? An office worker delivering clothes?"
"Yeah, if it's the big boss, who would send clothes? It would definitely be jewelry!"
"That's true. Giving such a gift is fitting for a salesperson's identity, hehe!"
Technician No. 88 turned her head and glanced around. Diao Chan hadn't returned yet. She muttered, "The key is that he's handsome!"
She has always felt resentful that Chen Xiao didn't add her on WeChat!
Qianqian and Sister Juan exchanged a glance and sighed. They really didn't know what Diao Chan was thinking. She didn't give a damn about so many big bosses, but she just had to take a fancy to a "poor boy".
Sister Juan sighed, "Let her suffer a loss, maybe she'll change her mind!"
Qianqian glanced towards the entrance. Diao Chan hadn't returned yet. She whispered, "Once she changes her mind, the boss might not be willing anymore."
Sister Juan shook her head: "You're overthinking it. She's so beautiful, she could just snap her fingers and those rich people would run faster than dogs!"
Qianqian nodded, agreeing with Sister Juan's words. She really hoped Diao Chan would come to her senses; those bosses had all promised a 10 yuan bonus if they could persuade her. This was one of the reasons they had always taken good care of Diao Chan; another reason was that Diao Chan was beautiful, kind, and indeed worth befriending.
When Diao Chan returned to the private room, Chen Xiao was already asleep. Diao Chan quickly took off her high heels and carried them in her hands, afraid of waking Chen Xiao. Then she tiptoed to the sofa and sat down, resting her chin on her hands, quietly watching Chen Xiao and listening to his soft snoring. She wondered why, despite always being wary of men, she felt so close to Chen Xiao and so safe beside him. When Chen Xiao woke up, he found Diao Chan resting her chin on her hands, her large eyes fixed on him without blinking.
"What are you doing, leering at me like that when I wasn't looking—"
Diao Chan was utterly embarrassed. "Get lost! I was thinking about something else, I was lost in thought!"
Chen Xiao was just joking with her, not taking it too seriously. He casually picked up a cherry, put it in his mouth, checked the time, and realized it was almost time to leave!
"Go back and change your clothes. We'll meet in the parking lot later." Qianqian's Audi A3 was in the parking lot. Chen Xiao waited for Diao Chan to go down before he went down himself.
About 20 minutes later, Diao Chan sent him a message and her location, asking him to come downstairs.
Inside the technician's room, a technician was idly scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) when she suddenly exclaimed, "Look, isn't this the same brand as the dress Diao Chan wore earlier? It's called [Shushi]!"
"It seems so. Oh, it's endorsed by Xiao Zhan. My goodness, our idol endorses it—how come I only just found out?"
Technician's Room is going crazy! Xiao Zhan is an absolute top star among the current generation of young celebrities, and his endorsement fees are astronomical. However, he's worth every penny; every brand he endorses reaps huge profits thanks to his popularity.
"I want to buy it too, I want to buy it too. I'll ask where I bought the number 8 dress later."
"I want one too! I took a look, and it seems to be a skin-like suit. It looks pretty good! It doesn't cost much, so I definitely want to support my idol!"
"Ask Diao Chan where she bought the clothes?"
"Yes, yes. I'll ask, I'll send a message to ask!"
As Chen Xiao sat in the driver's seat of the Audi A3, his first words were: "This space is really small—"
Diao Chan was so angry she wanted to pinch him again, "Big brother, no car has as much space as your bicycle!"
"Are you mocking me?" Chen Xiao turned his head.
"No, no, I dare not, I dare not!" Diao Chan pretended to be very scared! But the smile on her face betrayed her; she was just mocking Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao started the car, still a little unaccustomed to it. His first car was a Mercedes-Benz CLS coupe, and its handling was nowhere near as good as this Audi A3. He could honestly say he'd never driven such a bad car in his life!
"Diao Chan, if you ever buy a car in the future, never buy this one. It's just a rebadged Golf; you'll waste your money!"
Diao Chan was speechless and rolled her eyes: "Brother, are you ever going to stop? You're a cyclist, and you're complaining about someone who drives a car. I'm just asking you, if someone offered to swap bikes with you, would you do it?"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Diao Chan shrugged: "See? You won't even hesitate for a second; you'll agree right away!"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "You've misunderstood. What I mean is, how could I possibly agree to that?"
Ga?
Diao Chan felt like her brain couldn't keep up. "This is it? You still think you're not stupid?"
Chen Xiao gently turned the steering wheel and stepped on the gas, and the car drove out of the gate of [Tianchi Hot Spring].
"I wouldn't trade this piece of junk for 300 of my bicycles—"
"Tch!!" Diao Chan naturally didn't know he was telling the truth; even 300 Audi A3s couldn't replace his bicycle.
"Chen Xiao, how come I didn't know you were such a braggart?" Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and sighed helplessly, "Here we go again!"
"what happened?"
“Those older women saw the clothes you bought for me and asked me where I bought them. They wanted to go and see them too!”
Chen Xiao didn't think much of it and casually replied, "Currently in Jiangzhou, only Junxiao City has it. It's on the second floor, let them browse on their own!" The average order value for [Shushi] is only suitable for Junxiao City in Jiangzhou. For Junxiao Plaza, this price range is a bit high. They can try it later, but they definitely can't achieve the same sales performance as Junxiao City.
Diao Chan hummed in agreement, typed a message, and sent it out!
【Xiao Restaurant】
Chen Xiao was speechless. Had Ma Jian run out of places to eat? He always came here, and no matter how good the food was, he was sick of it!
The only advantage of this place is that parking is easy. Chen Xiao is familiar with the area and drove the car to the parking lot with ease. There happened to be a parking space available, and as he parked, a BMW 3 Series had just parked next to him.
They got out of the car with Diao Chan. Just then, they saw an old man get out of the passenger seat of a BMW 3 Series.
"Old Cha—", Chen Xiao was quite surprised. Old Cha was actually riding in a BMW 3 Series. Not bad, he's getting into character!
Ji Yan got out of the driver's seat and was a little unhappy when she heard Chen Xiao call him "Old Cha" - what kind of identity does this young man have that he dares to call a billionaire "Old Cha"!
"Ah, Mr. Chen!!" Cha Lan exclaimed, startled. He hadn't expected Mr. Chen to get out of a beat-up Audi A3 either. He had thought he'd been very low-key; this acting should have earned Mr. Chen's praise, right?
But when he saw Mr. Chen riding in an Audi A3, he suddenly felt that he should have taken the bus instead of riding in a car!
Chen Xiao quickly winked at him: "Old Cha, you can just call me Xiao Chen!"
It's alright now, but when I see Ma Jian later, I hope I don't give myself away! But how could I dare to call him "Little Chen"? Even though I know it's acting, I just can't bring myself to say it!
Just then, Diao Chan walked over from the other side and heard Chen Xiao's words. She laughed and said, "Nowadays, everyone calls each other 'General Manager.' You can call him General Manager Cha, and he can call you General Manager Chen, right?"
Ji Yan and Cha Lan both saw Diao Chan at the same time. Cha Lan's eyes lit up with amazement. President Chen was indeed President Chen. Even if he was pretending to be poor, he could downgrade his car, but he would never downgrade his beauties. Apart from Zhao Xiangjun, Cha Lan had never seen a more beautiful woman than her. Even Han Xue and Qiu Qiaoqiao were at most on par with her!
Cha Lan quickly greeted Diao Chan politely, "Hello!"
Seeing that he was older, Diao Chan politely replied, "Hello, Mr. Cha!"
Ji Yan's heart was filled with alarm bells. She had always been arrogant and thought herself very beautiful. But meeting Diao Chan was like a pheasant meeting a phoenix; she feared that Cha Lan would set his sights on Diao Chan.
Although Diao Chan was the young man's companion, she was determined to win him over. She felt that Cha Lan was much more attractive than the young man, and the allure of the 50 billion yuan bank card balance was limitless.
She immediately said, "Since President Cha is already calling you President Chen, how can you call someone your age 'Old Cha'?"
Cha Lan's expression changed, and he was about to reprimand Ji Yan. But then he saw Chen Xiao's wink and immediately understood what he meant: tonight was all an act, so they shouldn't be so formal!
"Alright, Mr. Cha! Let's go in, Ma Jian has arrived!"
Ma Jian was treating everyone to dinner that evening, so he must have arrived early. When Chen Xiao, along with Diao Chan, Cha Lan, and Ji Yan, arrived at the restaurant entrance, they saw Ma Jian eagerly waiting outside the lobby, looking as if he had been waiting for them with bated breath.
"Mr. Ma—" Chen Xiao called out from behind him. This was the first time he had ever called him "Mr. Ma," and it was a bit of a struggle to pronounce. Fortunately, he had acted in short dramas before, and his acting skills were superb! (End of Chapter)
