Chapter 193: The Big Boss Behind the Scenes [Second Update, Asking for Monthly Pass]



Perhaps out of concern that the other passengers in first class would overhear and be shocked, Yuan Li leaned even closer this time.

The soft pressure, the fragrant breath, the brush of hair across Ge Dongxu's cheek, it was ticklish, just like his mood at the moment.

"If you're talking about cash on hand, I definitely don't have that much, but if we're talking about assets, I do have them," Ge Dongxu suppressed the fanciful thoughts in his mind, thought for a while, and replied.

His answer was quite modest, because if we were really to discuss assets, he had absolutely reached a billion by now!

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li's eyes bulged out on the spot, and she placed her hand over her sexy lips as if she was terrified of letting out a scream.

Yuan Li was just driven by curiosity a moment ago when she asked the question; in fact, she didn't believe Ge Dongxu had assets worth fifty million. At this time, a fortune above fifty million could directly put one on the list of Huaxia Country's wealthy, even though this list couldn't truly reflect the actual number and circumstances of the country's wealthy. But at least it showed that fifty million was the threshold for entering the list and being worthy of the title "wealthy" in Huaxia Country.

Yet Ge Dongxu was just a senior high school student, and Yuan Li somehow knew about his history of rise to wealth. She could believe that he might have a fortune of ten or twenty million, but the idea that he had already joined the club of Huaxia's rich? Yuan Li simply couldn't accept it at the moment.

You must remember, Ge Dongxu was still a high school student! And how much time had passed since his rise?

Thankfully, Ge Dongxu didn't reveal that he was also the major owner of Donglin Yue Clothing Company and that his assets were at least a billion, or else Yuan Li would have truly screamed out loud.

"You, you just love to scare people!" It took a while before Yuan Li could calm down her chest, which had heaved violently from shock, then she raised her fist and gently poked Ge Dongxu.

"Actually, it's not that much!" Ge Dongxu modestly said without thinking.

"Not much? Do you have any idea how much I make in a year?" Yuan Li said with a roll of her eyes.

"Hehe!" Ge Dongxu chuckled and couldn't continue to be modest anymore.

Seeing Ge Dongxu laughing, Yuan Li couldn't help wanting to hit him again, but before she could raise her fist, a voice full of surprise came from beside her, "Oh, President Yuan, what a coincidence."

"President Cao, you're here too." Upon hearing this, Yuan Li quickly turned her head and saw the face of a middle-aged man. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly revealed a smile and actively stood up to shake hands and greet him.

"Yes, I happened to have some business in the capital these past few days. I didn't expect President Yuan to be here as well. If I'd known earlier, I would have contacted you," the middle-aged man called President Cao said with a smile, holding Yuan Li's hand for quite a while and not willing to let go until Yuan Li pulled back, making him reluctantly release her.

After letting go, President Cao looked at Ge Dongxu with a puzzled expression and asked, "Who is this young man? Is he your relative? He looks like a student."

In fact, Ge Dongxu always considered himself a student and wasn't used to flaunting branded clothes in the streets, so he had switched back to his ordinary attire. Only the IWC watch looked relatively understated, which wasn't conspicuous when covered by the sleeve, so he continued wearing it.

This time, his ordinary attire made him appear somewhat green and inexperienced, lacking the preceding brilliance and sharpness of a young talent.

Of course, this also had to do with Ge Dongxu's current mindset. Since he now saw himself as a student, he naturally reined in his aura.

"President Cao, hello, my name is Ge Dongxu. I call President Yuan 'sister,' so you could say we're relatives. I am indeed still a student," Ge Dongxu saw Yuan Li actively standing up to greet President Cao, and noticing President Cao asking, he also stood up and extended his hand towards him, so as not to seem arrogant and put Yuan Li in an awkward position.

Yuan Li glanced at Ge Dongxu, her eyes brimming with joy when she saw him treating her like family.

"Haha, so you're really just a student, may I ask where you study?" Mr. Cao, noticing that Ge Dongxu was indeed just a student and seeing his simple attire, began to speak in a somewhat boastful and superior tone, acting the part of an elder.

"Changxi No.1 Middle School," Ge Dongxu replied, not finding anything wrong with Mr. Cao's attitude. After all, the man was older than him and also carried the title of 'President', signifying a person of career success. It was normal for him to react this way upon learning he was a student.

"That's the top institution in Changxi County for producing college students. You'll have to work hard so that you can become successful in the future," said Mr. Cao with an encouraging smile upon hearing this.

"Hehe, I will," Ge Dongxu was slightly taken aback before he replied with a smile and sat back down.

Yuan Li, sitting beside them, found it hard to suppress a laugh when she saw Mr. Cao taking on the air of an elder to encourage Ge Dongxu, especially as Ge Dongxu was nodding and agreeing.

He was a wealthy student, after all!

Seeing this, Mr. Cao nodded with satisfaction and then found his seat according to his boarding pass.

Since the flight from the capital to Linzhou was only two hours and there weren't many people in first class, it was only about one-third full.

After the plane had taken off, Mr. Cao noticed that the seat across the aisle from Yuan Li was empty and moved there to chat with her intermittently, his eyes occasionally drifting towards Yuan Li's ample peaks, accentuated by her snug wool sweater.

"Dongxu, why don't you switch seats with me? I have some loan matters to discuss with President Yuan," Mr. Cao said to Ge Dongxu, after chatting for a while and apparently finding it inconvenient to talk across the aisle.

Ge Dongxu noticed that Mr. Cao's glances at Yuan Li were somewhat lecherous. Initially, he didn't want to switch seats, but when he mentioned official business with Yuan Li, Ge Dongxu found it difficult to refuse, so he got up and swapped seats with him.

After all, it was hard for a woman as beautiful and composed as Yuan Li not to attract male attention. Mr. Cao's behavior was only natural, and Ge Dongxu couldn't brand him a philanderer simply because of it.

"President Yuan, the sales of Qinghe Herbal Tea have unexpectedly exploded, and my factory can no longer keep up with their packaging demands. It is imperative that we quickly add a production line. My trip to the capital was to procure equipment, but the cost is quite high, and I will need a substantial loan," said Mr. Cao once he took his seat, indeed starting a discussion about loans with Yuan Li.

Ge Dongxu's face betrayed a hint of surprise when Mr. Cao mentioned Qinghe Beverage. He usually only dealt with the high-level decision-making, not involving himself in the day-to-day operations or emerging publicly, his name not even listed in company registry or documents.

He was more like the proverbial invisible big boss.

So although Ge Dongxu knew that the packaging for Qinghe Herbal Tea was done by a company called Dapeng Packaging Factory, he had no idea who the owner was, and it now turned out to be Mr. Cao, sitting right before him.

Since Qinghe Herbal Tea Beverage Factory wasn't a public company and didn't need to disclose shareholder information, and with Ge Dongxu barely participating in the management and operations, not to mention still being a high school student, even someone with an imagination as wild as Mr. Cao's couldn't possibly guess that the high school student before him was his biggest client.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have the guts to ask Ge Dongxu to give up his seat for him.
