Chapter 1789 - 1875: The Boss’s Backers
"Yeah, I even gave him a house before, and the guy still scolded me!"Monkey said with a face full of grievance.
"You two brats, you have the nerve to talk. Especially you, Monkey, you got me quarantined and investigated for half a month!"
Boss spoke with a look of suffering.
"You two did it on purpose, trying to drag me into the water!"
"Can’t you use less inappropriate words, making it sound like we’re doing something illegal? Remember when we pledged to share fortunes and hardships? We’re well-off now, how can we let the Boss stay poor?"
Monkey said with a cheeky grin.
These two guys, one gifted a sports car and the other a house, really frustrated the Boss back then. But after knowing the truth, even the investigation team was at a loss for words. It was true brotherhood.
"Really not planning to change careers!"
Su Xuan looked at Boss, still quite admiring. Sticking to one’s original intentions is admirable in this day and age. Boss’s way of being an official was indeed a breath of fresh air.
"No change, maybe just as you said, I’m destined for work!"
The three of them sat together chatting.
"You were doing so well over there, why come to Phoenix New City?"
"Phoenix New City is undergoing big development; it’s a tempting piece of cake. The higher-ups think my background is strong enough, basically that accepting bribes from others is pointless. Do you get it?"
Boss smacked his lips, looking at Su Xuan and then Monkey. Monkey and Su Xuan felt awkward, each turning away as if they didn’t understand what he was saying.
This strong background actually referred to Su Xuan and Monkey. Otherwise, a person with Boss’s character would have been kicked out of the officialdom long ago. Su Xuan had control over both the legal and illegal circles in Sichuan, with power strong enough to intimidate the Redemption Sect.
Monkey’s economic connections were extensive, too. These two pillars allowed Boss to walk confidently in the official circles, only Boss chose to stay low-key.
Once, someone disliked Boss and wanted to remove him to support their own person, but that backfired spectacularly, as everyone learned the County Magistrate had a terrifying background.
"You don’t have someone here too, right? Honestly, sometimes I want to show off my power!"
Boss said with a mischievous grin.
"Well... Boss, your strength is in integrity and decisiveness, there’s no conflict!"
Su Xuan quickly replied.
"Exactly, those dirty, scheming things naturally have someone else to handle!"
"Alright, it seems you really have connections. In that case, I’ll borrow you two big pillars for today!"
Boss laughed mischievously.
"What do you mean?"
"The economy here hasn’t been developing well. This time, I’m here to push for strong development. I want to meet with the local giant corporations, have a talk. Since you two are so well-connected, I know you’ll have a way!"
"Are you talking about Xincheng Company?"
Su Xuan asked weakly.
"Yes, I heard the boss is a strong woman, really formidable, but she’s a bit cold, not very sociable, and doesn’t give face. Su Xuan, you’re so handsome, don’t waste that pretty face!"
"Cough, cough, cough... You really are a good brother, asking me to sell my charm!"
Monkey rolled his eyes, secretly thinking if Boss knew that the strong woman was also Su Xuan’s, who knows how he’d feel. Gu Xiyin, whom Monkey had met several times, was a brilliant woman, and also stunningly beautiful.
Just then, Feng Tianxiang brought several dishes over, excitedly saying.
"Boss, you’re going to our company, I’m from that company, I’ll lead the way for you!"
"That’s perfect, thank you!"
Boss was quite funny and humorous.
At this point, a Mercedes stopped by the barbecue stand, and a dashing man stepped out, followed by three people, two of whom were tall and quite attractive women.
Su Xuan recognized them; the man leading was Xiao Naihe, who had once said he’d make sure Su Xuan couldn’t raise his head again. The two women were college classmates, one of whom had once driven Feng Tianxiang to almost jump off a building, Yan Yixin.
Seeing them, Feng Tianxiang was obviously nervous; after all, this was his superior.
"Old classmate, you come to Phoenix New City and don’t even notify in advance, so I can host you better!"
Xiao Naihe acted as if he was familiar with Boss. Boss, ever the slick official, seemed unwilling to be interrupted but still maintained proper appearances.
"Feng Tianxiang, what are you doing here during work hours?"
Yan Yixin said coldly. Su Xuan glanced at her badge, which read "Administration Department," thinking it was quite a coincidence.
"I... I’m on leave today!"
Feng Tianxiang replied weakly.
"Leave, who approved your leave..."
Yan Yixin obviously couldn’t back down, unaware in big companies leave is usually self-managed, just not exceeding monthly limits.
Still, she wanted to fault Feng Tianxiang for her own mistake.
"Isn’t leave self-arranged at your company?"
Su Xuan asked curiously, thinking Feng Tianxiang had developed a much better mindset over years, remaining optimistic around someone who once hurt him deeply.
Even though Su Xuan didn’t manage things, he knew his Xincheng Company allowed self-arranged employee leaves, a policy he set himself.
"What do you know, talking without understanding!"
Clearly, Yan Yixin viewed Monkey and Su Xuan as street thugs. In her eyes, the Big Three’s Boss dining with them was just old ties.
"Haha, I don’t know, you’re right about everything."
Su Xuan smiled awkwardly, while Monkey twitched, thinking Yan Yixin was clueless. Even as an administrative manager, she was fierce and rude to her big boss.
"Aren’t you going back to work!"
She glared at Feng Tianxiang, who nodded quickly and hurried back.
