Xiao Xun swallowed, and seeing that no one stopped him, he continued, "The supervisors here, especially foreign supervisors, can treat their subordinates like slaves and command them as they please. This actually happens in modern civilized society, which is truly unheard of..."
Cui Zhihao's expression was extremely unpleasant. He thought Xiao Xun would now talk about playing games with him every day.
At this moment, the president of Jingji Group gave a look to the host on stage with a cold face, and the host immediately picked up the conversation, "Alright, thank you very much for Mr. Xiao's wonderful sharing. Everyone, please give him a round of applause."
Xiao Xun reached out his hand, ready to say he had more to say, but the microphone in his hand had already been muted by the backstage staff.
Seeing that the host had already announced the next item, he walked directly off the stage.
He came to Mu Jiahe's side, and Gu Shao had already been standing by Mu Jiahe's side before the opening.
Seeing Xiao Xun walk over with confidence, Gu Shao looked him up and down and said, "You spoke very well!"
Xiao Xun's face was grim. He looked at Gu Shao and said, "What business is it of yours? Aren't you just relying on your family's power and influence? I'm not afraid of you."
Gu Shao snorted, "My family is powerful and influential, what do you want? 'Toads crawling on shoes, they don't bite but disgust.'"
Xiao Xun took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch him, because he knew that if they really fought, he would definitely lose.
"Fine, that night of the rain is not over yet! Just wait, you will pay the price for every word you say."
Gu Shao walked directly in front of Xiao Xun and said, "Kid, no need to make empty threats. Xiao Xun, right? Your father is a country bumpkin who runs a restaurant. What right do you have to yell at me?"
Xiao Xun's eyes narrowed, and his tone was like the cold ice of the northern frontier, "You investigated me?"
Gu Shao pointed his index finger, "That's right, you also have a cousin, who is quite beautiful. What's her name? Liu, Shi... whatever. Anyway, that girl is too naive and innocent for this world."
Xiao Xun's 'reverse scale' was touched, and he roared on the spot, "If you dare to touch my family, I'm not done with you."
His roar startled everyone present. The sound system instantly went silent, and all eyes turned to them.
Gu Shao pointed at them and let out an even louder roar, "What are you looking at? Does it concern you? Turn your heads back."
Mu Jiahe stood between the two of them with a poker face. After Gu Shao finished speaking, she looked at Gu Shao and said, "Hero Gu, don't make things too ugly. It wasn't easy for your Gu family to develop to this point. Don't let it be ruined by you."
Gu Shao glanced at Mu Jiahe, then at Xiao Xun, and said, "You're actually helping this poor country boy and speaking to me like this? Are you worthy of my sincere feelings for you?"
Mu Jiahe frowned, "Sincerity? Can it be eaten? Hero Gu, you are over thirty years old, and you graduated from a famous overseas 'Ivy League'. You interact with 'elite' people from all walks of life, so why do you still speak so naively? It seems you've been flying too high in the sky and need to come down for some fresh air."
Saying this, she turned and said to Xiao Xun, "Let's go!"
Gu Shao threw the cup in his hand to the ground and said, "Mu Jiahe, I will show you that I am not just a 'second-generation rich' who knows nothing but to eat and wait for death."
At this moment, Gu Shao's bodyguard walked over and asked, "Young master, do you need me to find someone to help you leave?"
Gu Shao nodded, then said to the bodyguard, "Forget it, I will personally take care of this matter."
The bodyguard seemed a bit worried, "Young master, the eight people sent out last time died too strangely. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? I've already had hackers dig up all his information. A poor nobody who graduated from college less than two years ago, no matter how you slice it, can he be a match for me?"
Seeing that Gu Shao was determined, the bodyguard couldn't say anything more. He took out his phone and made arrangements.
Mu Jiahe took Xiao Xun back to the car. Xiao Xun started the car and looked in the rearview mirror, "Ms. Mu, shall we find a place to eat, or go straight back, and I'll cook for you?"
Mu Jiahe took out a wet wipe and wiped off her lipstick, "You've been tired lately too. Let's just find a place to eat something!"
Although Mu Jiahe said to find a place casually, Xiao Xun couldn't possibly take her to a roadside diner. That would be an insult to the car he was driving.
Thinking of selling his Detroit coins from his account when he got back tonight, he said to Mu Jiahe, "How about we go to the shopping mall from the other day? I happen to want to buy a computer. Are you okay with advancing me some salary?"
Mu Jiahe took out a 'black card' with a bronze head on it and said, "Swipe it freely!"
Xiao Xun took the card. Although he had never seen it in person, he had heard of its great reputation. "This, isn't this appropriate!"
"It's okay. However much you spend, it will be deducted from your salary next month. And this is a supplementary card, which was originally intended for you to use."
Except for the words "deducted from salary," it sounded like he was being kept.
"Ms. Mu, there's one more thing."
Mu Jiahe crossed her legs, took out sparkling water from the car's refrigerator, and poured a glass, "Go ahead! I know you have a strong desire for knowledge."
"Can you increase my salary a bit? Thirty thousand is too little..."
Unexpectedly, Mu Jiahe directly refused, "Thirty thousand is not little. Go out and ask around. Which company gives a workplace rookie thirty thousand a month? With your academic qualifications and work experience, thirty thousand is really not a small amount."
Xiao Xun said "Oh" with a look of displeasure.
"Don't be unhappy. How about this? Sign the contract, and next year I'll increase it to one hundred thousand. If you stay for five years, you'll get a million directly."
Hearing Mu Jiahe say this, Xiao Xun immediately thought of hired laborers in ancient times, "I feel like a bonded laborer. I'm sold to you for life."
Mu Jiahe pretended to be angry and said playfully, "Don't say that, or I'll make things difficult for you."
When they arrived at the mall, because it was a weekday and not during regular meal times, every restaurant had available seats.
Mu Jiahe followed Xiao Xun's suggestion, and they chose a hot pot restaurant.
In fact, Xiao Xun also wanted to learn and see if he could create the taste he wanted in this different world.
Today's hot pot restaurants are not what they used to be. The service is very attentive. As soon as you enter, you feel like you are at home. There are also various secret passwords, and there are light signs for birthdays, which is very interesting.
After eating, Xiao Xun took Mu Jiahe to the digital products store downstairs. He bought a laptop with a beautiful price according to its configuration, and also bought an expensive set of mouse, keyboard, and headphones, as well as a mousepad in the peripherals area.
This fulfilled a dream of many years. However, the price in the physical flagship store was even cheaper than online stores, which Xiao Xun did not expect.
After buying these, they casually browsed around. There wasn't much to buy, just to digest the food.
Seeing that the time was almost up, they walked towards the parking lot. As soon as they got out of the elevator, Mu Jiahe immediately looked around alertly, "Something's strange."
Xiao Xun followed Mu Jiahe's gaze and looked around, but found nothing unusual. "What's strange?"
Mu Jiahe pointed to the cars parked around, "Look at these cars. Normally, the cheapest ones would be over 400,000 yuan. Why are there so many vans parked here today?"
