Chapter 1017: Strengthen Internal Employee Competition

Monday.

Today is a working day.

Xu Shaochen arrived at the Chen Yu Group early in the morning.

Every Monday the company holds a routine meeting.

So generally a company is busiest on Mondays and Fridays.

“Knock knock knock.”

Xu Shaochen was reviewing documents in his office when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Xu Shaochen said without looking up.

Secretary Ye Ling swayed her slender waist as she walked in, her eyes filled with a hint of reproach as she looked at Xu Shaochen. “Chairman Xu, a Miss Yu is here to see you, she claims to be your assistant.”

“Let her in.”

Xu Shaochen put down his work and noticed the resentment in the secretary’s eyes, laughing silently. “Don’t worry, I’m not replacing you. You’re too busy being both a secretary and an assistant, so I found someone to share the workload.”

Even though she knew Xu Shaochen was bluffing, the secretary still felt comforted.

“Chairman Xu, I’ll bring her in now.”

Hmph! Little vixen, so what if you’re pretty?

I was with Chairman Xu first.

A few minutes later, Yuxiu was led into the office by the secretary.

Xu Shaochen’s eyes lit up.

Yuxiu wore an off-white business suit, her long hair was tied up, and she wore light makeup. Her top was an off-white women’s blazer fitted snugly.

The white pencil skirt only barely covered her thighs, and her long legs wrapped in black stockings were particularly eye-catching. Her white high heels accentuated her figure.

The secretary was dressed in black, Yuxiu in white.

The sight of the two standing together left Xu Shaochen feeling parched.

“Boss.”

Yuxiu felt a bit embarrassed under Xu Shaochen’s gaze; she had never worn business attire before. This was her first time.

“Come over here, Lingling as well.”

Xu Shaochen was eager to engage in some vigorous exercise.

Soon, inside the office…

It was Yuxiu’s first time serving Xu Shaochen with another woman, and she seemed a bit reserved.

However, the secretary, eager to win favor, worked extraordinarily hard to please Xu Shaochen, doing whatever it took.

Yuxiu was left in shock.

Xu Shaochen felt wonderful. Indeed, ensuring strong internal employee competition is essential.

When employees compete vigorously, the boss feels pleased.

After the chaotic interlude, Yuxiu and the secretary put on their clothes and fixed up their makeup, reverting to their cold goddess demeanor.

“Lingling, you go out first. I’ll explain the work to Xiuxiu.”

Xu Shaochen first sent the secretary out. New and old affairs blend for the nature of a man.

“Do you expect me to always stay in the hotel?”

After Ye Ling left, Yuxiu asked Xu Shaochen.

“I’ve ordered a cage for you. To keep you in it.”

Xu Shaochen smirked. He wasn’t joking; he had indeed custom-made a large silver-white birdcage with a touch of dark humor.

There’s enough room inside for a bed and a dressing table, no problem at all.

Later, he’d buy a villa and put the cage in the bedroom, overflowing with dark humor.

“You’re really treating me like a canary.”

Yuxiu was both shy and angry.

“What should you call me?”

Xu Shaochen held her in his arms, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, and asked.

Yuxiu’s pretty face turned red as she whispered, “Master.”

Xu Shaochen truly treated this woman as a pet. Yuxiu and the secretary were the perfect choices for lovers.

Thinking of the various beauties at home, he still had affairs outside.

Speaking of which.

Having money is great.

“Knock knock knock…”

At that moment, someone knocked on the office door.

Yuxiu jumped in fright, quickly got off Xu Shaochen’s lap, and obediently stood aside.

“Come in.”

Xu Shaochen adjusted his collar, looking calm and righteous.

What a wolf in sheep’s clothing (a derogatory term here). “Boss, a man claiming to be Vice President Zhao Qing of Mr. Zhao’s company is here to see you.”

The secretary told Xu Shaochen, her title changed to ‘Boss’ after learning from Yuxiu.

“Let him in.”

Xu Shaochen was a bit surprised. Why would Vice President Zhao Qing come instead of Zhao himself?

Soon, a young man with a worried face followed the secretary into the office.

“Mr. Xu, we haven’t been able to contact President Zhao today. His phone is off, and no one was at his house. The security at the villa said he drove out at 2 AM and hasn’t returned. Did something happen to him?”

The young man appeared flustered. Many people in Zhao Qing’s company were young men who started with him.

So their loyalty was beyond question.

Xu Shaochen frowned after listening. He picked up his phone and tried calling Zhao Qing, but it was indeed off.

“Go back and wait for news. I’ll inform you if I find anything.”

Xu Shaochen dismissed the young man and then called the president of Jiangzhou Mobile’s sub-company.

“It’s me, Xu Shaochen. Help me check a phone number. Find out who the owner is and when their last call was.”

Zhao Qing leaving at 2 AM was likely due to someone’s call, so checking the phone is the right place to start.

“Mr. Xu, we found it. Mr. Zhao’s last call was at 2 AM to a woman named Zhou Xue.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shaochen’s expression instantly turned cold.

This matter is definitely related to Zhou Xue, and she might be seeking revenge against Zhao Qing.

“Mr. Xu? Are you listening?”

“I understand, thank you.”

Xu Shaochen snapped back, hanging up the call, then told Yuxiu, “You stay here and familiarize yourself with the job. I have to go.”

After finishing, he quickly left the office without waiting for a response.

As he walked, he called Zhang Wei to find out Zhou Xue’s whereabouts from Zhou Yu.

With the address obtained, Xu Shaochen instructed Long Yi and Long Er to drive there.

After about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a beauty salon.

Xu Shaochen entered with his bodyguards.

“Hey, what are you doing? Stop!”

The salon staff attempted to stop them.

“Get lost!”

Long Yi’s cold glance frightened the salon staff into silence.

Xu Shaochen led the group to the second floor, where they saw Zhou Xue with a facial mask, sipping coffee and crossing her legs.

“Mr. Xu… Mr. Xu.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, Zhou Xue, feeling guilty, trembled so much she dropped her coffee and stammered.

“Where’s Zhao Qing?”

Xu Shaochen got straight to the point.

Zhou Xue shook her head vigorously. “I… I don’t know. I haven’t been in contact with him.”

Xu Shaochen kept silent.

“Ah!”

With Zhou Xue’s scream, Long Er grabbed her hair and pressed her face onto the table.
