Anzhong's ability
An Zhong nodded. "I'm treating you, really, little brother. If it weren't for you today, I would have died!"
"Hey? Don't talk about that, let's go."
......
The two found a small restaurant nearby, sat down, ordered a few small dishes and a case of beer, and chatted while they ate.
After three rounds of drinks, An Zhong became even more talkative.
"Brother, I'm not boasting, but do you know what our line of work is called?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, "Paparazzi?"
An Zhong was stunned. "Ah, that's also a term, but that's for ordinary entertainment reporters. Do you know what an excellent one like me is called?"
"Hmm... Dog... King?"
An Zhong was speechless. "What kind of Dog King... I'm called a ghost in the darkness, a king of the intelligence world."
"......" Chen Xiao.
He raised his glass and said, "Come, a toast to the king."
The two clinked glasses and then drank them dry.
"Brother An, are you willing to come and help me?"
Putting down his cup, Chen Xiao asked.
An Zhong was surprised. "Brother, are you also in the entertainment magazine business?"
Chen Xiao shook his head. "I'm not, but I also need intelligence."
An Zhong slapped the table. "Then say no more! If my little brother needs it, I'll definitely help him. Drink up, just tell me what intelligence you need."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment. Although An Zhong spoke enthusiastically, his actual capabilities were uncertain.
If he rashly used Xing Yanqing as a target, he might alert him, and Xing Yanqing would definitely be more cautious in the future.
So he said, "The intelligence I need isn't difficult. My brother, I've opened a Financial company, and you just need to help me make sure everyone inside is one of us."
"No problem, see you at the company tomorrow morning," An Zhong said.
"Okay, the company address is..." Chen Xiao was about to speak when An Zhong interrupted him.
"Hey? Don't say it!"
"I'm in intelligence, brother. If I need the boss to tell me the company address, that would be too incompetent. See you tomorrow morning."
Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly, thinking it was a bit interesting.
"Alright, come on, drink."
The two clinked glasses again. After drinking, An Zhong said, "Boss, I won't drink anymore today, lest I be late for work tomorrow."
Chen Xiao smiled. For An Zhong to appear in his office tomorrow, he probably had a busy night ahead.
"Okay, then let's have a good drink another day."
"Good."
The two left the restaurant and parted ways at the entrance.
The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more interesting he found it. He shook his head and returned to Xuelin Yayuan.
After washing up and getting into bed, Yu Mengqi sensed Chen Xiao's return, turned over, and immediately entwined herself around him.
Ten minutes later—
The two girls in the guest room woke up with a start from their dreams.
"Ah! Are these two never going to stop?"
"Don't they get tired?"
......
Early the next morning, Yu Mengqi got up early to prepare breakfast for Chen Xiao.
Her two best friends came out with dark circles under their eyes and asked,
"Mengqi, your... is too amazing."
Yu Mengqi's pretty face flushed. "Cough cough, did, did I disturb you?"
"It doesn't matter if you disturb us, as long as our big campus belle is living well."
Yu Mengqi: "......"
Before long, Chen Xiao finished tidying up and came out. Yu Mengqi's best friends ran back to the guest room with red faces.
"Eat, let's have breakfast."
"Mm."
Breakfast was simple: fried eggs, toast, and hot milk.
Chen Xiao hadn't planned on eating, but Yu Mengqi had gotten up early to prepare it, which was a kind gesture, so he sat down and ate.
As he was leaving, Yu Mengqi helped Chen Xiao straighten his clothes, handed him his bag, and said, "Chen Xiao, I have a performance at school in a few days, can you come and watch?"
Chen Xiao was surprised. "What time?"
"Thursday night at 8 o'clock."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment. He usually had nothing to do in the evenings, so he might as well go and watch.
"Okay."
Yu Mengqi then said, "Also, can you drive that Mercedes-Benz?"
Chen Xiao chuckled inwardly, realizing she wanted to show off.
"Okay, I'll be there then."
Yu Mengqi happily kissed him on the cheek.
"Drive safely, bye bye."
......
Downstairs and into the car, Old Liu saw Chen Xiao approaching and got out of the car in advance to open the door and wait.
"Good morning, Brother Liu. Have you eaten?"
"I've eaten, Boss. To the company first or breakfast?"
"I've eaten, let's go straight to the company."
"Alright."
The E300 smoothly drove out of the community, playing Chen Xiao's favorite music.
Old Liu was very dedicated. No matter when, he was always in a suit, the car was spotless inside and out, and it carried a faint, pleasant scent. He paid great attention to detail.
Chen Xiao sat in the car, looking forward to how An Zhong would find the company. He couldn't help but look back.
Was it tailing? Tracking?
However, this time he was completely wrong.
When he arrived at the company, An Zhong was already standing at the entrance.
Chen Xiao was greatly surprised. He had arrived before him.
That meant he hadn't tracked him, but had already found out the address of his company.
This guy has some skills!
Chen Xiao was about to speak when An Zhong shook his head slightly, turned, and walked away from the stairwell.
A message was sent shortly after.
"It's better not to let people at the company see me, it's more convenient for work. See you downstairs."
Chen Xiao checked the time; it was still early. He told Old Liu and then walked down the stairs alone.
Sure enough, he met An Zhong waiting there.
"You're good, brother," Chen Xiao praised without hesitation.
An Zhong smiled. "Boss, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied. From today onwards, you are officially employed. Your monthly salary is 20,000, with activity funds and bonuses calculated separately."
An Zhong's eyes widened suddenly.
"This, this is too much, Boss. My previous job averaged only seven or eight thousand..."
Chen Xiao patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay, I'm always generous to my own people. Do a good job.
Also, maintain the external intelligence system well; it might be useful in the future, especially in the Financial industry. Go and expand some new ones."
An Zhong nodded. "Okay, Boss."
Most of his previous connections were in the entertainment industry. Since the boss was interested in the Financial industry, he would have to rebuild the intelligence network, a process that couldn't be completed overnight but would require continuous adjustment based on the boss's needs.
"You will have a single line of contact with Su Tang. You can directly apply to her for anything you need. Your salary and all expenses will also go through her."
"Okay, Boss. You can talk to Ms. Su, and I'll find an opportunity to contact her."
Chen Xiao was surprised. He even knew that Su Tang was Ms. Su. An Zhong's efficiency was impressive!
"Okay."
......
After talking with An Zhong, Chen Xiao returned to his office. Today was a day he had greatly anticipated.
Longzhong Coal, it was time to reap the rewards.
This wave not only brought in a huge profit but also made Xing Yanqing and the capital behind him lose so much that they practically coughed up blood. It felt good just thinking about it.
"Boss," Wang Peng and Xiao Xu greeted.
"Mm, has it started?"
"Boss, it surged as soon as the market opened and is about to hit the daily limit."
Chen Xiao smiled inwardly. "Liquidate all shares at the daily limit."
"Okay, Boss."
Before long, Longzhong Coal, as expected, hit the daily limit, and Chen Xiao's nearly 500,000 shares of Longzhong Coal began to be slowly sold off.
