Chapter 3

(New book uploaded, urgently seeking collections!) ———— The silver-black Mercedes-Benz slowly came to a stop in front of a modern skyscraper after a swift journey.

"Mr. Xiao, please come in."

As soon as the car stopped, Liu Yuan quickly pushed open the car door, jumped out, and then respectfully bent down to open the door for Xiao Yi. Although he was puzzled about why Mr. Chen treated Xiao Yi as a distinguished guest and repeatedly emphasized that he should personally welcome him, Liu Yuan was a very experienced person. Since Mr. Chen had instructed him and the ID was correct, he had to show Xiao Yi the utmost respect.

Even if it turned out that Xiao Yi was just an ordinary person, he would not lose anything; he would just be a bit more polite and might even gain a friend, which would be beneficial. However, if he were to offend Xiao Yi and ruin Mr. Chen's affairs, the consequences would be unimaginable. He had calculated this very clearly.

The two bodyguards beside him also quickly got out of the car and stood on either side of Liu Yuan.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly at Liu Yuan's attitude but said nothing, and walked out of the car with a calm expression.

"Where is Chen Jianguo?"

Xiao Yi raised his head, looked at the towering silver-gray building, and the shining words "Jianguo Building" on it, and asked indifferently.

"Mr. Chen is already waiting inside—"

"Xiao Shao, you've come, I'm really sorry. I was supposed to pick you up myself this morning, but the company had a sudden minor issue, so I couldn't come to pick you up personally!"

Just as Liu Yuan was about to respectfully answer Xiao Yi, telling him that Mr. Chen was already waiting in his office and would take him up to see him, a figure rushed out of the building and walked straight to the three of them. Without even wiping the sweat from his forehead, he bowed his head respectfully and said to Xiao Yi.

"Ah!"

Seeing the sudden scene, Liu Yuan was thoroughly shocked, and the two bodyguards beside him were also completely stunned!

The man who had rushed out of the building was none other than the owner of the building, the chairman of Jianguo Group, Chen Jianguo, and their employer, Mr. Chen!

After all, they were all among Chen Jianguo's most trusted people. Liu Yuan was Chen Jianguo's secretary and personal butler, and the other two were his bodyguards who were almost always by his side. They knew Chen Jianguo very well!

They all knew that although Chen Jianguo appeared to be a gentle and polite person, always smiling and courteous to everyone, he was actually a very proud person who never showed deference to anyone. Even when the mayor of G City came to the Chen Group to see him, he did not come down to greet him but only waited at the door of his office for the mayor to come up. Even so, the mayor was very pleased and felt that he had been given enough respect.

But now, this Mr. Chen, who would not even come down for the mayor, not only personally ran down the stairs, panting, to greet this young, thin man who seemed ordinary to them, but also showed him great respect!

Who was this thin young man?

This huge question mark instantly appeared in each of their minds, and their gazes toward Xiao Yi changed.

"No problem, have you taken care of the matter I asked you to handle?"

Xiao Yi looked at the middle-aged man in a well-fitted suit, who showed genuine respect, and nodded indifferently.

"It's done. All the procedures are complete and are in my office. Do you want to go up and get them now, Xiao Shao?"

Mr. Chen quickly said respectfully, then looked at Xiao Yi with a questioning gaze.

"Sure, let's go up and sit for a while."

Xiao Yi also nodded.

"Xiao Shao, please come in."

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Chen Jianguo's face instantly showed a hint of joy. He completely ignored his three trusted subordinates and took on the role of a servant.

Xiao Yi did not hesitate and, under the astonished and surprised gazes of everyone around, followed Chen Jianguo into the building.

After Chen Jianguo accompanied Xiao Yi forward, Liu Yuan and the two bodyguards finally came to their senses. The two bodyguards could not help but break out in a cold sweat, especially the one who had spoken at the train station, ready to let Xiao Yi leave. They could not imagine how important Xiao Yi was to Chen Jianguo! They dared not think about what the consequences would be if they had really had a conflict with him at the train station and chased him away!

Liu Yuan also felt secretly relieved. Fortunately, he had been cautious and always strictly followed Mr. Chen's orders. Otherwise, if he had judged Xiao Yi by his appearance, from the current situation, this Mr. Xiao was not just a distinguished guest of Mr. Chen but a very distinguished guest! If he had offended him, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

His resolve was even stronger now. In the future, he would continue to follow Mr. Chen's instructions without any deviation. He would never do anything clever on his own!

He did not know that this decision would bring him countless benefits in the future.

As the owner of the building and the top figure of Jianguo Group, Chen Jianguo did not set his office on the top floor of the building, as other building owners and company presidents often did to show their superior status and enjoy the view from above. Instead, he set his office on the 28th floor, a middle level.

However, to save time waiting for the elevator and avoid unnecessary trouble, he had a private elevator that went directly to his 28th-floor office.

Leading Xiao Yi through the private elevator to his office, Chen Jianguo did not sit in his usual position as the boss. Instead, he invited Xiao Yi to sit down, personally made a cup of tea, and handed it to Xiao Yi, then said respectfully, "Xiao Shao, please have some tea."

After that, he waited respectfully for Xiao Yi to speak, with the demeanor of a servant serving his master.
