Chapter 831 My Income is More Than Zhao Xiangjun's
"Come on, get in the car with me!" Zhao Xiangjun's words seemed to brook no argument.
Diao Chan opened her mouth, but ultimately remained silent. She felt that no one could refuse this person's request.
Following Zhao Xiangjun to the Lantu Dream Home, after getting in the car, I realized that the round-faced woman who had helped me buy "Snow Falling in Spring Breeze" at Junxiao Plaza was also in the car.
Xu Jia had already moved to the third row, leaving the second row seats available.
"This"
“My best friend, Xu Jia!” Zhao Xiangjun knew what she wanted to ask.
"where are you going?"
Now that she was on the bus, Diao Chan didn't stand on ceremony. "Let's go to [Tianchi Hot Spring]."
With a slight nod, the driver started the vehicle and headed towards the destination without further instructions.
"Thank you~", Diao Chan said nervously to Zhao Xiangjun in a low voice. For some reason, Diao Chan felt a little guilty when she was in Zhao Xiangjun's presence.
Zhao Xiangjun looked at her and said, "Your clothes are wet. Don't catch a cold."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Diao Chan sneezed. With anyone else, Diao Chan would have accused them of jinxing. But with Zhao Xiangjun, she felt that even a slightly harsh tone would be a form of blasphemy.
"It's okay, it's okay. I think it's just my rhinitis acting up again!"
Zhao Xiangjun turned to Xu Jia and said, "Is that a size L dress in the row behind you?"
Xu Jia understood and casually took it: "Yes!"
Zhao Xiangjun took it and handed it to Diao Chan: "After you go back, take a hot bath and change your clothes."
"Ah, no need, no need!" Diao Chan quickly refused. Like attracts like. This couple both love giving gifts. Chen Xiao works and has some investments, that's one thing. But you, you earn your own money and spend it yourself, and now you're pregnant and still working, what are you trying to prove? If anyone's giving a gift, it should be me giving it to you!
"What? Don't you like it?"
"No, that's not it. How could I let you spend money on me?"
Xu Jia urged from behind, "Beautiful lady, just accept it. Xiangjun doesn't need to pay for this dress."
Xu Jia bought this dress during a store visit to [Sa Mo] and thought it was a limited edition in collaboration with Chanel. She thought it was quite nice, so she took a size L and kept it to give as a gift someday. She never expected it to come in handy so soon!
“Then I’ll transfer the money to you,” Diao Chan recognized the brand [Sa Mo] because several of her colleagues at the company often bought this brand and then showed it off in the technician’s room.
"No need, you can just take it and wear it, it's free!"
Diao Chan felt powerless. If it had been anyone else, she would have refused Zhao Xiangjun's words without hesitation. But with this person in front of her, she felt that refusing her was like committing a crime. She wondered if she was sick in the head; were Chen Xiao and his wife cursed to bring her bad luck?
Unbeknownst to them, Zhang Yi was furious in the Maybach behind them! Seeing the heavy rain, he didn't believe Diao Chan could hold on. He was certain she would be forced into his car, and the sight of a soaking wet beauty would be simply indescribable.
Who would have thought that the joy lasted less than three seconds? Someone holding an umbrella, whose gender was obscured, stole the show!
If it weren't for the heavy rain, Zhang Yi would have come down and started yelling at people.
"Damn it, catch up with the car in front and stop it for me," Zhang Yi picked up the phone and ordered the bodyguards in the Land Rover Defender behind him.
It was pouring rain, and stopping the vehicle was very dangerous. But the bodyguards dared not disobey, after all, this wealthy patron was willing to pay them.
On Blueprint Dreamer, Diao Chan was still thinking about whether to transfer the money to Chen Xiao via WeChat, but then she thought that the guy was a proud person and he definitely wouldn't accept the money.
Once the car was on the elevated road, Yan Yue, in the passenger seat, stared at the rearview mirror for a moment, then suddenly said to the driver, "Move to the middle!"
After watching for a while, he said, "Change lanes to the right."
Diao Chan was puzzled; why was she changing lanes back and forth in this torrential rain?
Zhang Yi's Maybach trailed far behind, phone in hand: "Damn it, you guys have Land Rovers and can't even stop a minivan?"
"Boss, the rain is too heavy. It's difficult to operate; what if someone gets killed?"
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment. Indeed, if things escalated to that point, it would be impossible to control. China is a society governed by law; no matter who he is, daring to do such a thing is extremely egregious!
"Damn it, it's only because of the heavy rain that we can stop them. They're all going less than 50 mph, what could possibly happen? Hurry up, you need to stop them, but also make sure nothing serious happens!"
"Understood, boss!" the bodyguard almost cried. He used to think this Boss Zhang paid a lot of money, but now he realized that money really isn't easy to earn.
After Zhang Yi urged him on, the Land Rover Defender accelerated and once again drove towards the Voyah Dreamer!
Suddenly, the Mercedes GLS in front changed lanes in front of the Land Rover Defender and blocked it!
"Damn, this car is malfunctioning!"
He could only accelerate again, preparing to overtake the Mercedes GLS on the left and then approach the Voyah Dreamer. But the Mercedes GLS seemed to know his intentions, accelerating sharply again, changing lanes to the left, and stopping him once more!
"FUCK!" He slammed his fist on the steering wheel!
He changed lanes twice in a row, finally shaking off the Mercedes GLS, just as he was about to rush towards the Voyah Dreamer. Suddenly, another Mercedes GLS, exactly the same as the previous one, appeared on the left side of the Voyah Dreamer and braked sharply in front of the Land Rover Defender, forcing it to stop again!
"Damn it, what's going on today? Did we run into a Mercedes?"
The bodyguard in the passenger seat looked grave. "Something's wrong. These two Mercedes GLSs seem to be intentionally blocking us. The GLS behind us is now right next to us."
"Damn it, they're preparing to intercept us. What the hell is going on?"
Zhang Yi, who was dozens of meters away, picked up the phone again: "Damn it, what are you doing?"
"Boss, boss! Something's wrong! We're sandwiched between three Mercedes GLSs, and it looks like they're trying to force us to stop!"
Don't judge a book by its cover; they were clearly trying to force them to stop. The moment they finished speaking, the car in front braked, and the Land Rover Defender was forced to slow down as well!
Mercedes-Benz GLS?
Zhang Yi was taken aback, then stopped as the cars in front of him slowed down. His Maybach quickly overtook him, and he saw the Land Rover Defender sandwiched between three Mercedes GLSs!
At the same time, I saw several short-haired beauties and burly men getting out of Mercedes-Benz GLS cars!
Swish~!
Zhang Yi broke out in a cold sweat. How could this be?
He knew this guard. They were a very distinctive force throughout Jiangzhou, and even throughout China!
The person being protected must be a core member of the Chen family, otherwise they wouldn't have such a large security detail. Furthermore, the person being protected must be a female member of the Chen family! Only female members of the Chen family would have so many female bodyguards.
I'm doomed. Those two bodyguards must have been caught. Could they have betrayed me? If Chen Xiao finds out I tried to force the Chen family women's car to stop, I'm finished, completely finished!
But why would the women of the Chen family be riding in a Voyah Dream? A Rolls-Royce Phantom is the standard! "Go, hurry up. Remember the license plate number of that Voyah Dream and find out who owns it!" The air conditioning inside the car was very cold, but Zhang Yi was still sweating profusely.
If this matter isn't handled properly, he's doomed!
On the Lantu Dreamer, apart from Yan Yue and the driver who knew what happened next, Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Jia were unaware. The main thing was that things hadn't gone that badly; everything was still under control.
The car came to a smooth stop in the parking lot of Tianchi Hot Spring. Diao Chan thanked Zhao Xiangjun, "Thank you so much! Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do in this heavy rain!"
Zhao Xiangjun smiled slightly and pointed at Xu Jia: "Thank her. This is her car, and she gave you the clothes too."
Diao Chan thanked Xu Jia again, thinking to herself that Chen Xiao's wife had quite a network of connections, and her good friend seemed very powerful. However, Chen Xiao's friend was also quite powerful; that Ma Jian was riding in a Geely 009, which was much more expensive than this Voyah Dreamer.
She bought a lot of milk tea, plus the clothes Xu Jia gave her, which made it difficult for her to carry them all.
"Sister Yan, could you help her inside?"
Upon hearing Zhao Xiangjun's instructions, Yan Yue got out of the passenger seat and helped Diao Chan walk into the [Tianchi Hot Spring]. Once in the lobby, Diao Chan put down her clothes: "Sister Yan, thank you. Just leave them here; my colleague will come and get them in a bit!"
Yan Yue nodded and was about to leave when Diao Chan called out to her, "Sister Yan, I'll transfer the money for this dress to you, and you can give it to her then, okay?"
"She won't want it!" Yan Yue was also a man of few words.
Diao Chan was speechless. "Sister Yan, I'm serious. I earn more than her, how could I possibly take advantage of her?"
Yan Yue had seen it all in her life; even in life-or-death situations, she could remain calm and composed. But Diao Chan's statement, "She earns more than Zhao Xiangjun," truly stunned her!
However, she quickly composed herself, shook her head, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving. Goodbye!"
Diao Chan stared blankly as Yan Yue coolly left, sighing, "Why won't she listen to advice? This couple is just awful!"
Inside the technicians' room, the technicians were still not fully processing the shocking news that Lao Cha had bought 2500 hours of service for No. 23 today.
When Diao Chan came in, Number 23 was still hugging her phone and smiling foolishly. Number 66, however, had swollen eyes from crying!
Seeing Diao Chan come in, Qianqian and Sister Juan came up to greet her and took the "Snow Falling in Spring Breeze" she had bought. "Wow, why did you buy so much?"
Diao Chan rolled her eyes. If I only bought drinks for the two of you, what would the others think of me? However, she didn't explain. Instead, she gave a drink to everyone she could usually talk to.
"Xiao Chan, your CEO Chen is such a treasure! He even has friends like that. They say good things shouldn't go to outsiders, why not let Qianqian and me benefit from it?"
"What treasure boy? More like a spendthrift boy!"
"Hey, you're carrying [Sa Mo]!" Qianqian exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention, and they all gathered around.
"Number 8, you took a day off, and now you've gone out and spent money again?"
"Yes, [Sa Mo] is very expensive."
"No matter how expensive, it can't be more expensive than [Soseki]."
"How can that be the same? Wasn't [Soseki] a gift? I bought this dress myself!"
Diao Chan was too lazy to talk to them, "I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes!" She had gotten caught in the rain while waiting for the bus and was soaking wet, which made her feel very uncomfortable!
She had already taken the day off. If it weren't for delivering milk tea to Qianqian and the others, she would have gone back to her dorm to rest.
I took the clothes to the bathroom, then remembered to pick them up and glanced at the price tag—2988 yuan!
Wow, that's expensive! Thank goodness it was a gift from Xu Jia. If it had been from Zhao Xiangjun, Diao Chan would be mortified. How much can a saleswoman earn in a month? And she gets to give herself clothes worth thousands!
When she came out wearing this light green dress, the entire technician's room lit up!
She was already extremely beautiful, but now, dressed in [Sa Mo]'s dress, she looked like a goddess descended from heaven. The technician's room immediately fell silent.
After a moment: "My God, how come number 8 looks so beautiful today?"
"Clothes make the man, it's so true. This outfit makes number 8's skin look even whiter, and it really accentuates her figure!"
"Oh, wait a minute. Look at this dress, everyone!" A technician handed her phone to the people next to her.
"What? A limited edition of [Sa Mo]?"
"Yes, yes! This is a collaboration with Chanel. The retail price is 2988, but it's already being resold online for 12000."
hiss--
Taking a deep breath, Qianqian turned her head sharply in surprise: "Xiaochan, this dress of yours costs 12000?"
Diao Chan was also confused. Wasn't it 2988? How did it become 12000?
Sister Juan walked over. "This, this was given to me by President Chen?" She knew Diao Chan too well. She would only spend 12000 yuan on clothes if she were possessed!
Was it a gift from Mr. Chen? Well, I guess so, it was a gift from his wife.
"Alright, I'm going back to rest!" Diao Chan knew that she would inevitably be discussed again, and she didn't like to hear it, so she decided to go back to her dormitory to rest as soon as possible.
Inside a business suite at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, Zhang Yi paced anxiously back and forth, repeatedly asking his assistant, "Have you found it yet? It's been over an hour. Can't you even handle such a small matter?"
The secretary, who had been on the phone, hung up and came over: "Boss, we found it. That car belongs to the Jiangzhou branch of the Yinuo Group!"
Inno Group? What do they do?
Zhang Yi didn't have a thorough understanding of the Chen family's businesses. He only knew that Junxiao Group belonged to Chen Xiao. He was unaware of companies like Yinuo Group and Jiexun Sports; these were investments Chen Xiao made using Zhao Xiangjun's name.
He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn't one of Chen Xiao's women. Otherwise, he feared Chen Xiao would skin him alive if he found out!
"Those two bodyguards haven't returned yet?"
They all knew the two men were being held captive by the people in the Mercedes GLS, but stopping them on the elevated highway in broad daylight couldn't be considered a form of house arrest or physical elimination. They were probably being forced to give a confession somewhere.
Since he wasn't from the Chen family, he wasn't worried. Even if he found out, so what? In Jiangzhou, apart from the Chen family, Zhang Yi didn't take anyone seriously!
"Boss, we've found some information—"
"Speak, Zhang Yi, turn around!"
"Xu Jia, the vice president and regional manager of Yinuo Group, drives a Voyah Dreamer in Jiangzhou!"
Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously and just said "Oh." However, the secretary's next words startled him so much that he jumped up! (End of Chapter)
