Chapter 9: Property Management Fee
The mystery was unveiled, and Yuan Kai finally understood why Chen Xiao was able to secure the design institute's order: playing League of Legends with someone!
He self-brainstormed that the female leader at the design institute must be very bad at the game, and Chen Xiao helped her rank up, so...
Alright, once this layer of paper was poked through, all the magic seemed very normal. Yuan Kai secretly decided to go home and practice League of Legends diligently, determined to snatch this big client from Chen Xiao in the future!
Chen Xiao naturally didn't know that his random blabbering had actually caused Yuan Kai to sacrifice his evening rest time to diligently practice League of Legends, to the point of exhausting himself!
Chen Xiao delivered the stamped contract to the design institute. Bai Lu looked at his slightly darkened eye circles and said, "Is your work pressure really that high? You look like you haven't slept well!"
"Yes, I stayed up until the early hours!"
"Ah? That's so tough. Does the company pay for overtime?"
"No! Mandatory overtime!" Chen Xiao replied calmly.
Look at his dedication! With a salary of 4000 yuan, he still works mandatory overtime until the early hours. Bai Lu felt even more ashamed. After being touched, she dialed the internal line and asked the clerk to come over and stamp the contract. She had Chen Xiao take Dr. Feng Robot's copy back. The efficiency was astonishing!
As soon as the contract was signed, 40% of the payment was immediately disbursed. Chen Xiao hadn't even reached the company yet, but the finance department had already received 1.2 million yuan. Xia Yun excitedly exclaimed "Nice" and went to give Feng Feifei the good news, which made Feng Feifei feel a moment of daze again. This business deal completely overturned her understanding.
The contract was signed quickly, and the money was transferred quickly, which completely defied market norms.
"Chen Xiao is truly a lucky general! This single order of his directly pulled the company out of the ICU! Such a talent must be rewarded!" Xia Yun was Feng Feifei's middle school classmate, so she privately offered her advice.
"He definitely needs a big reward. If Yuan Kai wasn't here, I would have already prepared to promote him to manager!" Feng Feifei said, troubled.
She was initially happy that Yuan Kai stayed, but after Yuan Kai's performance yesterday, she had lost a lot of her good impression of him. Coupled with Chen Xiao's outstanding performance, she now felt that Yuan Kai's staying was a bad move!
"Actually, there isn't no way. We could divide the marketing department into Department One and Department Two. Two marketing departments could also have healthy competition!"
Feng Feifei's eyes lit up. Xia Yun's suggestion was indeed good. Hmm, first, recruit people, and once the sales staff are all in place, she would announce Chen Xiao's promotion!
Chen Xiao didn't know any of this. After work, he first returned to his rented room, picked up two large bags of essentials, and took a taxi straight to Hairun Apartment!
Hairun Apartment was even closer to Dr. Feng's Robot Company. It was considered a relatively high-end apartment in Jiangzhou at the moment, but for an apartment, how good could it be, no matter how high-end? Chen Xiao felt that the system was just bullying him for not having seen the world, giving him a broken room to dismiss him.
He was in Building 5 of Hairun Apartment. What a coincidence! Was it fated with the number 5? The design institute order was also finalized in Building 5, and this reward was also in Building 5.
Entering the lobby of Building 5, he saw the elevator about to close ahead and quickly shouted, "Wait a moment!"
The almost closed elevator opened. Chen Xiao entered the elevator and said thanks, then froze!
Inside the elevator was a young woman whose height was actually the same as Chen Xiao's 178CM. Her figure was graceful, like a willow swaying gently in the wind, exuding softness. Her dark, beautiful hair gently covered her long neck, like wisps of ethereal dark clouds. Her features were as exquisite as an artwork meticulously carved by a master, especially her eyes, which were deep and lively, seemingly able to peer into the abyss of one's heart. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, with subtle curves and extensions, perfectly complementing her keen yet gentle gaze.
She was wearing a tight-fitting long dress that accentuated her well-proportioned curves, as if she were a goddess from Greek mythology, possessing both an otherworldly aura and human tenderness and warmth.
Chen Xiao stole a glance at her exquisite face. There wasn't a single blemish on her face, but her expression was somewhat cold, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. Chen Xiao stepped back and pulled out his phone, pretending to fiddle with it.
Unexpectedly, he pressed the camera button, and the lens was directly aimed at her blood-pumping back and that full moon. The curve of that full moon was simply the creator's masterpiece. Chen Xiao looked at the photo he took on his phone, his mouth dry.
He looked up and saw the girl looking at him with disgust, as if avoiding a plague, and moving into the corner opposite him!
Oh no, this misunderstanding is huge! She wouldn't think he was a pervert, would she? But she didn't say anything, so he couldn't explain, otherwise, wouldn't that be a confession?
It was then that he remembered he hadn't pressed the elevator button. Just as he was about to press the floor, he found that the extremely beautiful girl had chosen the 12th floor, which was exactly where he wanted to go!
The elevator arrived, and the girl quickly walked out. Chen Xiao followed her out and saw her walking quickly, her long legs, almost 1.2 meters long, moving very fast!
Chen Xiao looked for his door number, 1224, and found that it was in the same direction as hers.
By the time he found his room number, the girl had already hurried into her room. Before entering, she nervously glanced at Chen Xiao. She was actually right across from him.
"I've been mistaken for a pervert!" Chen Xiao thought gloomily. He was well-groomed, how could he look like a bad guy? Little did he know that when he was looking for his door number, his left and right glances were all seen by her. Who living here would act like that? Naturally, she took him for a bad guy.
Inside the house, the apartment wasn't big, a small duplex apartment, with a single-floor area of 48 square meters. However, it had a kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, and even a walk-in closet. It was a small but complete home.
The furniture was all provided. Chen Xiao took a quick look and saw that they were all branded. This wasn't because the system was generous, but because the developer provided uniform furnishings!
Hmm, better than the rented room. Chen Xiao threw his daily necessities into the living room, took a shower, and went upstairs to lie on the bed in the bedroom. He hadn't rested well yesterday, so he would go to bed early today!
He hadn't even fallen asleep when he heard someone banging loudly on the door outside. At first, he thought it was a neighbor, as he had just moved in, and no one knew he was here, let alone would come looking for him.
After listening for a while, he felt something was off; it really was his own room. He checked the time; it was 7:00 PM. He quickly went downstairs to open the door.
"Is there something you need?" Chen Xiao pulled open the door, looking at the two women outside dressed in uniform property management attire. They looked quite fierce.
Perhaps the noise was too loud; the girl's door across the hall also opened a crack, looking over.
"You've owed property management fees for over two years; it's time to pay, isn't it?"
Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. Pay property management fees? I just moved in, what property management fees would I pay?
"Are you mistaken?"
The property management lady said disdainfully, "Are you Chen Xiao?"
Chen Xiao said, "Yes, that's me!"
"If it's you, then we haven't got the wrong person. You've owed property management fees for two years. You never answered calls, and we couldn't find you when we came to your door. The lights are on today, so we hurried over. We must resolve this today, otherwise, when we retire, we don't know if we'll ever receive your property management fees!"
