Street Hustler and His Policewoman Wife

Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Wang Jun’s Call, Arrangements in Xiangdu!

When Wang Jun called, Chen Xiao was momentarily taken aback.

But he quickly guessed the real reason for Wang Jun’s call.

He remembered that when they ran into each other in Yanggu County, Chen Xiao had mentioned that if Wang Jun ever needed help at work, he could just call.

This call was probably about that!

Chen Xiao answered, and immediately Wang Jun’s laughter came from the other end:

"Chen Xiao, you’re up now?"

"Just got up not long ago, what’s up... calling me so early."

Wang Jun coughed twice, feeling a bit embarrassed, and hesitated for a while.

Chen Xiao sensed his hesitation and took the initiative to ask:

"Is it about work?"

"Sort of! But I heard some news, that Zong Yuanmao’s hotel and Xu Zaisen’s previous hotel merged! I remember you mentioning the relationship between Zong Yuanmao and Xu Zaisen! How did they end up cooperating?"

Then, Wang Jun added, "Chen Xiao, this shouldn’t affect you, right!"

Chen Xiao had previously told Wang Jun about the relationship between Zong Yuanmao and Xu Zaisen, also known as Chen Xianzu.

Now with changes in Xiangdu regarding the relationship between Zong Yuanmao and Chen Xu, who represented Xu Zaisen’s forces, Wang Jun asking about work under the guise of providing information seemed reasonable.

"I was the one who facilitated their collaboration, are you... thinking of switching to their hotel?"

This call was timely for Chen Xiao.

Because of Chen Xu, he needed someone to keep an eye on things.

Now with Wang Jun’s call, it was a timely reminder for Chen Xiao.

"Their cooperation caused a stir in Xiangdu, and it means they’ve directly entered the top three in the hotel industry. I’m calling to see if you know about this."

"Now it seems I wasn’t mistaken, so I also want to ask you for a favor."

Chen Xiao originally wanted to voice his own plans.

But, on second thought, he felt it was too hasty.

Because of Wang Dahe, Chen Xiao and Wang Jun’s friendship could build some trust.

However, Chen Xiao was uncertain about Wang Jun’s abilities.

If he rashly placed Wang Jun in the arrangement, Chen Xiao worried it might bring danger to Wang Jun.

So after some thought, Chen Xiao decided to leave the choice to Wang Jun himself.

"Putting you in their hotel is a small matter; if you have enough experience, I can have Zong Yuanmao or Chen Xu mention a management position."

"Don’t worry, I’ve been in Xiangdu for so many years; I’m well acquainted with this industry! If they doubt me, they can always ask the hotel I previously worked at, it’s all within the same circle. I’m very confident in myself now!"

"Hmm, ability is one thing, but don’t rush. I have another option for you here."

As Chen Xiao spoke, Wang Jun suppressed his excitement.

"Go ahead."

"Earlier I told you about my relationships with Zong Yuanmao and Chen Xu, and now their cooperation was also facilitated by me. It’s easy if you want to work there. But I just don’t want them to know about my relationship with you, do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Jun realized: "I understand, but I’m from Dongzhou, and my dad is your teacher. If someone with intention checks my background, everything will be clear."

Wang Jun’s words made Chen Xiao light up:

"It seems I really don’t know you well, you thought of this importance so quickly."

"Hey, I just feel that you definitely want to entrust me with something important, but if I mess things up, I can’t afford it."

"Yes, that’s something I’ve considered too. So your position in their hotel can’t be introduced by me. Besides, are there many Dongzhou people there? If so, bring a few more people."

"Also, if one day Zong Yuanmao or Chen Xu ask you if you know me, then don’t hide it anymore, just tell them about our relationship. Lastly, if one day I go over there, and you see me with Zong Yuanmao and Chen Xu, just pretend you didn’t see anything."

After understanding the meaning, Wang Jun thought briefly and said:

"Alright, I’ll do as you say!"

"Are you sure? This way you might earn a lot less!"

"Haha, although I made this call with the intention of getting a promotion and a raise. But, since you need my help, it’s no problem to lend a hand. If my dad hears you helped me get a job, he’ll certainly feel more at ease with me in Xiangdu!"

Chen Xiao chuckled and said, "Alright, once you join, I’ll also provide you with a salary, sending it to your parents monthly, following the management salary standards over there."

"No need, Chen Xiao, there’s no need for that!" Wang Jun quickly replied, and Chen Xiao interrupted:

"Let’s keep things separate; you’re helping me out of friendship, and I’ll be paying you because you have a life and family to support."

"Well... alright, I’ll look for some people in the coming days and then apply. Now that they’re cooperating, there’ll surely be many positions available, so I need to hurry!"

"Good, update me with any news from their side promptly."

With that, the call between the two ended.

At that moment, Lin Xi brought breakfast.

Prompted by Lin Xi, Chen Xiao also called Pan Huiping to inform her of the plan to return to Dongzhou later.

After breakfast, the group headed to the airport.

Of course, Liu Dayou stayed behind in Hai City.

A few hours later, Chen Xiao and his group returned to the Provincial City.

However, their first priority wasn’t to head back to Dongzhou, but to first return Ah Yu to Jingguang Village.

Goodbyes are always bittersweet.

Ah Yu clung tightly to Lin Xi, seemingly still wanting to cry.

Her expression made Lin Xi feel incredibly tender-hearted, prompting her to ask:

"Ah Yu, why don’t you come live with me in Dongzhou for a while?"

In that moment, Ah Yu was more rational than an adult, shaking her head and saying:

"Wait until you have time to come get me again, for now, I’m not going anywhere, I want to stay home with Grandma."

Lin Xi reluctantly nodded, taking one last look at Jingguang Village, and said:

"Then next time, take good care of yourself!"

"Don’t worry, now nobody dares to bully me in the village, I’m Ah Yu after all!"

Watching the little girl’s proud demeanor, Lin Xi smiled and turned to get back in the car.

Chen Xiao waved to the little girl, signaling farewell.

Ah Yu said nothing, watching them gradually disappear into the distance.

Once Chen Xiao and the others were far along, Ah Yu then took out a folded piece of paper from her pocket.

On that paper was a portrait.

The portrait was of Gao Qinfang, drawn by Chen Xiao based on Ah Yu’s description.

As Ah Yu looked at the woman’s face on the paper, tears started streaming down.

But soon, she wiped away her tears, returning to her usual self and heading back home!
