Upon hearing that the investor was Xia Changlong, even those who were knowledgeable and worldly-wise were stunned.
My attitude has changed from thinking of him as a newbie to now thinking I should try to build a relationship with him so I'll have someone to rely on in the future.
Bian Xiaoming didn't really feel anything; wasn't he just a rich uncle recommended by Yang Yajing?
Moreover, the investor is his wife; to be precise, she doesn't actually have direct contact with Xia Changlong.
But Mrs. Xia is also a member of the Xia family! Families with even a little bit of business all hope to connect with such investment tycoons; that's just reality.
So those who originally idolized Jiang Xuanxuan have now started idolizing Bian Xiaoming, praising their old classmate for being capable and successful!
"Isn't this a perfect match for Xia's investment?" Bian Xiaoming smiled憨厚ly. "Besides, I'm just starting a side business, following in the footsteps of my e-commerce friends."
Jiang Xuanxuan felt neglected by the group she had brought and felt she should say something to attract their attention.
"Brother Xiaoming, you're really lucky! You've already secured investment from President Xia and Mrs. Xia right at the start of your career. You're destined for great things!"
"I was really lucky!" Bian Xiaoming said with a smile.
He gave that one answer, and Jiang Xuanxuan couldn't continue the conversation.
But she always managed to find topics on her own, without needing anyone to make way for her: "Both Xiaoming and Xuanxuan's families are invested in by the Xia family, so they'll be considered to be under the same umbrella from now on, right? We should keep in touch!"
Bian Xiaoming and Jiang Xuanxuan weren't very familiar with each other, so he just smiled.
Jiang Xuanxuan was cursing a thousand times in her mind. How could Bian Xiaoming be so dull and out of touch with reality?
Since Bian Xiaoming didn't answer, she had no choice but to continue herself: "Brother Xiaoming, after Xuanxuan graduates, she will be working at her own home. She'll meet many wealthy businessmen at business gatherings and will invite Brother Xiaoming!"
"Business gatherings? What are they?" Bian Xiaoming, who was new to the industry, didn't quite understand.
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Xuanxuan felt she could continue her spiel: "Business tycoons often catch up with each other every now and then, and take the opportunity to explore collaborations. That's how business works. The Xia family will be here too! It's always good to maintain good relationships."
“Yes! From a business perspective, this kind of platform is indeed a good occasion for developing friendships and cooperation.” Several of the old classmates present nodded in agreement.
"Is Jiang Xuanxuan very familiar with the Xia family?" Bian Xiaoming seemed like a complete novice.
"It's alright! I only know them through family, and we're somewhat related. Does that count as being close?" Jiang Xuanxuan said vaguely.
"Oh! That's good!" Bian Xiaoming nodded, then fell silent again.
Jiang Xuanxuan was hoping that Bian Xiaoming would start currying favor with her once he heard she was related to the Xia family! But all he said was "It's fine" and that was it... How frustrating!
"Xuanxuan is related to the Xia family?" Yang Yajing asked deliberately. "Why didn't Xia mention this when he signed the contract?"
"Yang Yajing has met Chairman Xia?" Someone with sharp ears immediately recognized it.
“Oh! I was the one who drafted Bian Xiaoming’s contract?” Yang Yajing replied.
"Yang Yang can write contracts?" Jiang Xuanxuan asked curiously.
“Yang Yajing is from the finance department, she knows more about this than I do!” Bian Xiaoming explained with a smile.
"Wow! Yang Yang must have met Chairman Xia too!" Jiang Xuanxuan continued to chime in.
"They call him Chairman Xia, Boss Xia, so they must be pretty familiar with each other, right?" someone said. "Yang Yajing, you're not hiding your true abilities, are you?"
"Really?" Yang Yajing tilted her head.
"If someone dares to call you 'General Manager Xia' or 'Boss Xia,' they must be someone special." The man nodded.
"He's just a down-to-earth middle-aged man. I'm not an employee, so it's normal for me to call him Boss Xia, right?" Yang Yajing deliberately downplayed the issue.
"Yangyang! Won't this affect your future job prospects? It's so disrespectful to important people!" Jiang Xuanxuan exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss Xia didn't object, so it's fine, right?" Yang Yajing pretended not to know anything.
"Yang Yang is too casual! How can the rich socialize like ordinary people? Even if they don't say it, they definitely look down on Yang Yang! How low-class and lacking in class!" Jiang Xuanxuan disagreed.
“Exactly! Yang Yajing! You don’t even know how to speak properly. You’re acting all vulgar in front of the big CEO. Are you wasting your own time or Bian Xiaoming’s time?” Li Yan added insult to injury.
Everyone felt that Yang Yajing's actions were inappropriate, except for Bian Xiaoming, who was unaware of the situation, who spoke up for Yang Yajing: "No, right? I think Chairman Xia and Yang Yajing get along quite well."
“Who is Chairman Xia? He can chat with whomever he wants; his seniority and status speak for themselves!” Li Yan said dismissively.
“Yang Yang! For the sake of Yang Yang’s future career, you should apologize to President Xia.” Jiang Xuanxuan seized the opportunity to speak up again. “At least let President Xia know that Yang Yang did not offend him on purpose. His street smarts are just a result of his experience and background, so it’s not Yang Yang’s fault.”
"I didn't do anything wrong, why would I need to apologize?" Yang Yajing laughed. "Besides, it would be strange for someone to call and apologize for no reason."
"Hahahaha!" While they were chatting, Yu Yue was busy fighting with her food, but she listened the whole time. "Xia Dong's secretary, Huang, got a call and was told he had to apologize. How should he report that? It's hilarious! It makes me laugh!"
"Hahahaha!" Yang Yajing also found it quite funny. "Secretary Huang probably thinks I'm crazy, right?"
"I can't take it anymore! I'm so curious!" Yu Yue is the type who tends to imagine things without thinking. "Should we call Secretary Huang and tease him? It'll be a good opportunity to add some real-life material to my novel?"
Not everyone has Xia Changlong's phone number, but Secretary Huang's number is public. Yang Yajing deliberately mentioned Secretary Huang instead of directly calling Xia Changlong, just to create suspense and put Jiang Xuanxuan at ease.
