my awesome boss

Chapter 555 Visiting the Casino
Xia Jian thought for a while, as the chairman of Tianzhi Group, he should contribute to the company, and he agreed without asking about any activities.

In the afternoon, Xia Jian drove the Jetta to the resort hotel designated by Luo Yanqiu. Luo Yanqiu and Assistant Xue were waiting at the door, and unexpectedly saw several foreigners accompanying him, who should be important foreign guests.

Assistant Xue immediately came over to open the door for Xia Jian, but his face was a little heavy when he opened the door.

"Assistant Xue, what's wrong?" Xia Jian asked.

Assistant Xue smiled awkwardly: "Chairman, we should send a car to pick you up."

Xia Jian immediately understood the hidden meaning in Assistant Xue's words, and it seemed that it was not suitable for his status as the chairman to let foreign guests see the old car he drove.

Xia Jian walked to the hotel entrance, and among several foreigners, he saw a very high-quality European sunny gentleman, who was not bad looking.

Judging by his attire, this man should be an out-and-out Englishman.

After meeting Xia Jian, the handsome British guy spontaneously extended his hand and introduced, "Hi, Mr. Xia, I'm Collins."

Xia Jian didn't figure out who this person was, and habitually extended his hand to shake him.

"Collins' family has been doing business with our Tianzhi Group all year round." Luo Yanqiu explained.

Collins added: "Jennifer (Luo Yanqiu's English name) and I were college classmates when we were in England."

Collins seemed to have a sense of superiority when he spoke, and Xia Jian seemed to see something intriguing.

Xia Jian looked at Luo Yanqiu, Luo Yanqiu seemed a little embarrassed to hear this sentence, and did not respond to Collins' words.

"Is Mr. Collins coming to China to play?" Xia Jian asked curiously. Doesn't this seem like a coincidence?

"Our family already had a branch in Huaxia. After I finished my studies, my father sent me to Huaxia to take over the family business. It happened that there was also a branch in Zhenhai. Come and see Jennifer."

Although Collins was polite when he spoke, he looked at Xia Jian with deep disdain.

It seems that Xia Jian, the chairman, was not taken seriously. He also saw the car Xia Jian was driving just now. He is obviously a poor man, and sitting in the chairman's position must be a vain job.

At this time, Luo Yanqiu approached Xia Jian, took his arm and smiled at Collins: "Let me introduce, she is my boyfriend."

Collins looked at Luo Yanqiu, and said regretfully: "Jennifer, you don't have to give up the chairmanship to him when you date him, you should be the chairman."

Xia Jian is not a fool, how could he fail to understand that Collins' implication is to belittle him, and the belittlement in this sentence has two meanings, one is that Xia Jian is not worthy of being the chairman of the board, and the other is that Xia Jian is not worthy at all Luo Yanqiu.

In Collins' eyes, Xia Jian and Luo Yanqiu were like flowers stuck in cow dung.

Xia Jian was also taken aback for a moment. Could it be that Luo Yanqiu called him today not to receive guests, but to use him as a shield?
Ever since Xia Jian saved Luo Yanqiu at the birthday party, she has made up her mind to make Xia Jian her man. Of course, she does not allow other men to belittle him in front of her. She is unwilling to choke Collins directly:
"Who is the chairman of the board is a private matter of our Tianzhi Group. Collins, your family is willing to do business with us because you believe in our entire company rather than a certain person. Besides, the position of chairman is personally appointed by grandpa."

Luo Yanqiu didn't give Collins any face. The meaning of this sentence is already obvious. It is not up to an outsider to point fingers at our own company's affairs.

Collins also retorted unceremoniously: "My father and I can't figure out how Mr. Luo made such a decision."

Luo Yanqiu didn't speak anymore, Xia Jian didn't speak either, the atmosphere suddenly fell into embarrassment.

Collins changed the subject: "Jennifer, this hotel belongs to our family, I'll take you in for a tour."

Several people walked into the hotel, and Xia Jian, who was pulled by Luo Yanqiu's arm, looked at her sideways, "Luo Yanqiu, what are you doing?"

Luo Yanqiu pulled Xia Jian aside, and whispered: "Xia Jian, you also saw the purpose of that Collins coming to me. He wanted to use the name of expanding business with us to pick on me."

Xia Jian smiled and said: "Collins is very handsome, and his family is strong, why don't you think about it."

"Thinking of you big-headed ghost, have you forgotten the last words of grandpa before he died?"

After Luo Yanqiu said this, Lao Luo's last words roiled in Xia Jian's mind again.

—The three of you must live in harmony.

At that time, Mr. Luo was holding Xia Jian and Luo Yanqiu's hands, looking at Lin Muxue as he said.

Isn't the purpose of Lao Luo making Xia Jian the chairman of the board obvious?
"Xia Jian, your task today is to make Collins give up. He and I went to school together in England when we were very young. He thought he was my childhood sweetheart. In fact, I have no interest in him at all."

Luo Yanqiu directly admitted that calling Xia Jian over today was just to serve as a shield, and he also assigned a major task for himself.

Xia Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was the chairman anyway, how could he be assigned tasks.

"I can figure it out." Xia Jian said perfunctorily.

The entire resort hotel is newly built and very luxurious. All the facilities are built to domestic five-star standards, including swimming pools, chess and card rooms, beauty spas, and gyms.

After watching around, Collins said, "There is our Collins family's casino underground, do you want to take a look?"

Xia Jian was suddenly surprised. It is strictly forbidden to open casinos in China. The Collins family actually got the index. It seems that this family is very powerful and has a relationship with the government.

"Casino? As a woman, I'm not interested in these things. Let's go to the gym."

Of course Luo Yanqiu knew what Collins was up to, so he deliberately avoided the casino and said.

Collins quickly said: "Jennifer, just go and visit. If you want to play, you can play. If you don't want to play, you can watch from the side. Many big names in China have come to play, and you will never be disappointed."

"Alright, Yanqiu, let's go and have a look."

Xia Jian could see that Collins wanted to show his financial strength in front of Luo Yanqiu. The casino was running well, and the profits of more than a group company were secure. Xia Jian wanted to see how Collins wanted to show it.

Everyone enthusiastically said that it was for this sake, and I was a little embarrassed not to go. Assistant Xue also interjected: "Mr. Luo, let's go and have a look, and we don't have to play."

Luo Yanqiu also agreed.

After a few people got off the elevator to the second floor, a magnificent scene appeared in front of them. The entire casino was in order and extremely lively. It is indeed an indispensable place for sightseeing.

Collins proudly introduced: "This casino has invested [-] million US dollars, even on a global scale, the scale is not small."
