But Cha Lan’s idea wasn’t entirely unfeasible.
She didn’t know why Chen Xiao hadn’t been promoted at Dr. Feng’s Robot, so she agreed with Cha Lan’s assessment that the company’s reward and punishment system was unjust.
’Treating Chen Xiao like this is extremely unfair,’ she thought. ’So, what’s wrong with poaching him?’
Chen Xiao had no idea so many people were talking about him, but he was quite satisfied with Xu Wu’s efficiency.
The contract between Dr. Feng’s Robot and Central Inspection had only just been signed, yet he had already received his commission from Xu Wu’s side.
"DING! The Host has been detected completing a 12 million order within one week. Task completion rate: 240%. A random reward will now be issued."
[Random Reward 1: Endurance +5, Health +5, Diligence Point +5]
[Random Reward 2: 10% equity in Yino Group]
[Note: The recipient of the equity can be chosen: Host, Zhao Xiangjun]
’What’s going on? The reward can be given to Zhao Xiangjun?’
"Based on the system’s analysis, the Host requires certain assistance on his path of growth. Zhao Xiangjun is the female currently detected who can wholeheartedly support the Host. Therefore, an option has been made available for this reward!"
"Whether to choose Zhao Xiangjun is for the Host to decide. Once the choice is made, it cannot be changed!"
’What is there even to choose? You give me equity in Yino Group, a clothing company. That has nothing to do with my profession!’
’Okay, that’s not entirely true,’ he thought. ’What the hell does owning stock have to do with my profession? It’s not like they’re asking me to manage the company. Can’t I just collect the dividends?’
"I choose. Equity Recipient: Zhao Xiangjun."
On one hand, he held nothing back when it came to Zhao Xiangjun; there was nothing he wouldn’t part with for her.
On the other hand, the system’s objective was clear: only with a high income would Zhao Xiangjun have the money to invest heavily in him. That would, in turn, increase Zhao Xiangjun’s special reward fund, creating a virtuous cycle.
’This must be what it meant by ’assistance.’,’ he mused.
Just like that, Zhao Xiangjun was rich. Yino Group’s valuation was around 6 billion, so this 10% stake—worth more than even the current CEO’s share—made her the group’s third-largest shareholder!
The third-largest shareholder, meanwhile, knew nothing. She was still in the store, working hard at sales. The only difference was that before she was working for commissions; now, she was working for her own company!
He checked his status panel.

’Not bad, my Endurance is at 85,’ he thought. ’Does that mean I can beat more than 90% of all men?’ His face filled with masculine confidence!
He also took a look at Zhao Xiangjun’s character interface.

An asset status section had been added for her, but it didn’t show her bank balance. ’It seems the system is only concerned with the Diligence Fund, not her personal cash,’ he noted.
The system was full of notifications today. He continued to scroll through the unread messages.
"DING! You have received a commission of 120,000 yuan from Zhi Fei Aerospace."
"DING! The commission from Zhi Fei Aerospace has triggered a Diligence Reward bonus of 1.8 million yuan!"
’My Diligence Point is 15 now, and these rewards are just insane!’ he thought. No wonder his balance had just jumped by 1.92 million, bringing his total cash to 6.35 million! freewebnσvel.cøm
’I can’t spend it all. I really can’t.’ And he still had 16,000 yuan coming in every day from his basic stipend. He wondered if he would be the first person in history to become depressed from being unable to spend all his money!
His phone rang. That woman, Xu Wu, always knew the perfect time to call and share the "good news."
’She calls the second the money hits my account. I’m the one who gave you the order, so am I supposed to thank you now?’
’And I don’t even want to get started on that 3% commission of yours. If it weren’t for the fact that the order would’ve been a total loss otherwise, I never would have given it to you people.’
But for all his complaining, he was perfectly polite when he answered the phone. His ability to switch moods was truly instantaneous.
"Miss Xu!"
Now that they were more familiar with each other, his tone was even more flippant. He loved teasing her until she was furious but helpless to do anything about it!
It was only after meeting Xu Wu that he’d discovered he had such a mischievous streak!
"Chen Xiao, did you get the money?"
Xu Wu asked in a soft voice she imagined was very sweet. The moment she finished, she rubbed her arms vigorously, trying to get rid of the goosebumps her own voice had given her.
"Xu Wu, are you sick or something? That doesn’t sound like you at all!"
"Screw you, Chen Xiao! You’re the one who’s sick, and you’ve got a bad case!"
And there it was, an instant kill. She’d gone supernova.
Chen Xiao wiped away a bead of sweat. ’Now *this* is the real Xu Wu, the genuine article.’ Her previous tone had been so artificial he’d thought it was an AI voice.
"Hey, you can’t just get what you want and then pretend you don’t know me! The second your four million is secured, your whole attitude changes!"
"Get lost! Who said anything about pants?"
She was so angry she was sputtering. What made her even madder was his retort, "What do you mean? You don’t pull up your pants?"
’To hell with him! Whoever wants to recruit this guy can go right ahead, because I can’t stand him! If we poached him, I’d have a heart attack in less than two days. I’d be dead within a week, guaranteed!’
She had originally planned to invite him to her company, with the ulterior motive of trying to poach him.
But he’d made her so angry with just a few sentences that she’d hung up on him without even mentioning her main reason for calling.
’What kind of person is she?’ Chen Xiao muttered at his now-silent phone. ’Someone in sales who can’t take a joke? And she’s a director? She’s clearly not cut out for the role!’
Yino Jiangzhou Regional Branch
As one of Yino Group’s top three branches in the country, with annual sales exceeding five hundred million yuan, the Jiangzhou Branch had always been in the corporate spotlight.
Today was the day the group’s CEO, Zhang Shijie, was visiting Jiangzhou for an inspection.
The entire branch was on high alert, as this was the CEO’s first visit to the Jiangzhou Branch since taking office.
His itinerary included an inspection of the branch office, a tour of key stores in the main business district, and dinner.
Among the staff selected for the official welcome party for the CEO, Zhao Xiangjun’s name was prominently listed, having been specifically requested by Li Lei, the head of the retail department.
Zhao Xiangjun’s looks were stunning, her sales figures were off the charts, and her dedication to her job was unbelievable. In all her years with the company, she had never once been late or left early, and she had remained in her sales position for eight straight years.
The company had offered her promotions several times over the years, but she had always turned them down. Her personal sales accounted for nearly half of the store’s total revenue. If she were promoted to store manager, she would receive a commission based on the entire store’s sales, but the rate was lower, so her total income would actually decrease compared to what she earned as a salesperson.
It wasn’t that she lacked ambition. Rather, with her limited education, she saw no path for advancement within the company’s corporate structure; store manager was the end of the line for her.
Furthermore, her fixed monthly expenses were quite high, so she had no choice but to remain a Gold Medal Salesperson and rely on high commissions to support her lifestyle.
Her performance at work was impeccable, and when combined with her breathtaking beauty, it was no surprise she was admired by colleagues at every level of the company.
