My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

"Bai Lu, this time we have a 20 billion yuan cooperation with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. I'll be spending a lot more time in Jiangzhou from now on!"

"That's great! Finally, someone's going shopping with me!"

Gu Meng was drinking water and almost choked!

"Seriously? Doesn't Chen Xiao usually spend time with you?"

"He's so busy, how could he have time?"

"What is he, a salesman, busy with?"

"I do not know either!"

Okay, Gu Meng put down her water glass and asked Bai Lu with a speechless look, "Are you going to get a brain scan?"

What kind of boyfriend do you have? And you're still desperately trying to win him over!

Little did anyone know that Bai Lu looked like a blissful, demure woman, saying, "Many people want to throw themselves at me, but they can't even get close enough!"

Utterly defeated, "You're hopeless, Bai Lu. I really should introduce you to my boss, President Guo, someday. I want to be like her, focused on my career and treating men like nothing!"

"I'd really like to meet you. Where's your boss? There are many smart city projects you mentioned that we could collaborate on. We could be the construction contractor!"

Gu Meng was just saying that. If it really came down to business, let alone Bai Lu, even Bai Sheng wouldn't be qualified to see Guo Fu!
"If you want to do this business, you can really ask Chen Xiao to talk to my boss for you. They seem to be very familiar with each other!"

"Very familiar?"

"Yes, the two of them were talking about something this morning!"

Bai Lu bit her lower lip. "I feel like your boss is going to have to pay you extra!"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud!

"How could that be? My boss is someone of immense status in Hong Kong. Countless scions of prominent families wouldn't even catch her eye. Would she really be interested in a salesperson? Only you, you idiot!"

Bai Lu shook her head. "You don't understand Chen Xiao. He's a woman's nemesis!"

Gu Meng didn't believe it. Her boss wouldn't pay attention to that stinky man. She was Gu Meng's idol!
At that moment, Guo Fu was leaning on the pool railing with both hands, and said to Chen Xiao behind her, "Why are you so fierce!"

With a loud smack, my buttocks stung with pain!

Guo Fu was furious. Who did she think she was to be spanked like that!

"Don't move!"

"You can move when it's your turn!"

Grit your teeth and bear it; there's no need to say more about who's playing whom at this point!

28th Floor, Yunfeng Building

Junxiao Charity Foundation

Li Xiao, Deputy Director of the Comprehensive Project Department, has taken office.
The clerk brought her a project to sign, and she is currently reviewing it carefully!

Does Wangjiagou need 500 million yuan to donate a Hope Primary School?
Why donate so much? Others only need to donate 30 yuan to a school and they can get the naming rights!

Isn't spending 500 million a huge waste of money?
I disagree!

what?
The clerk was stunned. This project was handled on a case-by-case basis, and it only took one day from the initial investigation to the submission of the completed materials!

"President Li, Wangjiagou is the hometown of our Deputy Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Wang, so he knows the situation there very well. There are many impoverished households in the area, and many families have difficulty enrolling their children in school. That's why Mr. Wang proposed building a modern primary school!"

Li Xiao frowned and said, "This is a matter for my comprehensive project department; the finance department shouldn't be interfering!"

The clerk realized that the new Director Li was not easy to talk to, so she could only whisper, "He's in charge of the purse strings!"

It means if you don't give them face, they might refuse to pay you next time. We're colleagues, why make things difficult for each other?

Putting the materials aside, he declared, "I don't care what kind of bags they're in charge of, my opinion is 30!"

The clerk had no choice but to take it back and say, "Then I'll go talk to Director Wang and see if it can be changed!"

Wang Ping was on the phone at that moment!

"Mr. Wang, on behalf of the children in my hometown, thank you so much! With such a modern primary school, the children no longer have to lose at the starting line!"

Wang Ping was delighted to receive thanks from the leaders of her hometown. She felt that she had finally done a great thing for her hometown and for the children there!

Working at a charitable foundation is great; you do good deeds every day and all you have to do is spend money!
"Mr. Wang!"

When Wang Ping looked up, she saw the clerk standing in front of her with a bad expression and looking somewhat apprehensive!

I didn’t expect her to be so afraid of me. Wang Ping hasn’t adjusted to her new role yet and is still treating her colleagues like she used to at the bank!

Doesn't she realize that she's now a deputy director? How could the lower-level staff not be afraid of her?
"Regarding the Wangjiagou case, Director Li from the Comprehensive Project Department had a different opinion. She believed that donating 30 yuan was sufficient for building a primary school, so she refused to sign off on the 500 million yuan donation!"

what?
Wang Ping stood up abruptly in anger, making the clerk even more nervous!

How could they do this? I was just thanked by the leaders of my hometown. If I fail to get this done, I'll be incredibly embarrassed!
The key question is how to explain this to those lovely children!
Is the new deputy director really that capable? What do you mean by "only 30 is needed"? Did she even investigate? What was her basis for that conclusion?

"Alright, leave it with me, I'll handle it!"

The clerk felt like she'd been granted a pardon. Luckily, Director Wang didn't scold her or tell her to go see Director Li again, otherwise she would have become the sandwich between the two!

Wang Ping thought for a moment, then picked up the materials and went to the general manager's office!

He Qing was on the phone when she saw Wang Ping and gestured for her to sit down.

The call was from He Jie, who said that the renovation of the crab hotpot restaurant in Chongqing was progressing very quickly and it looked like it would open in early April. She asked if her cousin was going home recently so they could get together again!
The opening of the crab hotpot restaurant wasn't a big deal for He Qing, but it would be nice to go back and take a look!
Now that her parents are in their hometown, He Qing still hopes to go back to visit them every two weeks. This time, she can also take the opportunity to check on the situation in Wangjiagou and set an example for other projects in the future!
Wang Ping sat listening to He Qing on the phone, and was delighted to hear that He Qing was returning to Chongqing in early April!
Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night!
Wang Ping is doing well now and wants to go home to visit more often!

"What's wrong, Pingping? What's the matter?"

After hanging up the phone, He Qing looked at Wang Ping!
"The newly arrived Director Li of the Comprehensive Projects Department disagreed with the 500 million yuan donation to Wangjiagou Hope Primary School, and only agreed to approve 30 yuan!"

He Qing's smile paused for a moment, then she continued to laugh!

"She's also considering the charity foundation's interests. She's new here and doesn't know us well, so she's evaluating our projects using the methods of other foundations. She'll get used to that gradually!"

"You should communicate with Director Li calmly. It's normal for colleagues to have disagreements, but don't let it cause conflict!"

"Yes, I know that!"

"Go and have a good talk with her. I'll definitely approve this project in the end, don't worry!"

Hearing He Qing's words, Wang Ping went out happily!

The moment the door closed, He Qing's smile vanished!
Li Xiao doesn't seem convinced!
However, he then laughed at himself!

As a young woman under 24 years old, sitting in this position, probably not many people would respect me, but many people just don't dare to show it!
Li Xiao was introduced by President Xu, so does he have something to rely on?
Sigh, it's quite bold of Chen Xiao to let me sit in this position, but it also shows how much he dotes on me. Thinking of this, He Qing felt sweet in her heart again!

He said he'd come to see me in the next couple of days, but I don't know when!

She knew Chen Xiao was busy, so she didn't dare bother him these past two days, let alone urge him, but she missed him terribly!

Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group
The HR director urged Zhang Ping to sign the resignation form, and Zhang Ping was as dejected as a wilted eggplant!
This matter is settled; Chang Wei didn't even go home to sleep last night!
Zhang Ping will leave the company today, and will formally hand over his work to Zhang Jie during the day!
Zhang Jie only just realized that Chen Xiao was even more amazing than he had imagined!
With just one sentence, Zhang Ping was fired, and he even promoted himself to the position of deputy director!

Me, the deputy director?

I never even dreamed of this!

HR Director's Office!
Zhang Ping sat awkwardly opposite Director Cai!

This made Director Cai nervous. "Brother, if you go out like this, people will say that I'm bullying you. Will that make General Manager Chen dislike me and make me pack up and leave?"

Forcing a smile, he said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be nervous!" Calling him "Mr. Zhang" only made Zhang Jie more nervous. Director Cai's efforts were in vain; he didn't know what to say next!

"The main reason I invited you here today is to discuss the compensation for the leader of the third project team with you in person!"

Zhang Jie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he had been summoned for questioning!
"The base salary for a project team leader or deputy director is 3.5 yuan per month!"

Isn't this my previous salary and benefits?

Zhang Jie knew his base salary was higher than others, but he never imagined it would be the same as the project team leader's!

He thought to himself, "I guess HR called me to tell me that there won't be a raise this time, since my salary is already at the level of an associate director!"

"Regarding your matter, I went to consult with General Manager Feng. Regarding your compensation, General Manager Feng instructed that it should be handled as follows:"
Base salary: 5 RMB/month, transportation allowance: 1000 RMB/month, telephone allowance: 600 RMB/month. (This will be implemented accordingly.)

Another raise? With so much money, how am I going to spend it all?
Zhang Jie has always been accustomed to a frugal lifestyle, and since his work involves coding and he doesn't socialize much, he doesn't know how to spend money.

My life revolves around the company and home every day, a simple routine.

Aside from buying breakfast in the morning, he also cooks at home in the evening. The company provides a subsidy for lunch at the canteen, and he can eat two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes for 10 yuan. With 50,000 yuan, he can really save 48,000 yuan.

The key is that Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group pays the maximum amount of housing provident fund contributions. With his year-end bonus, he easily earns a million-dollar annual salary!

In just six months, my income increased nearly tenfold!
Happiness came too suddenly for Zhang Jie to accept.

When he left, his legs were so weak that Director Cai had to stand at the door and watch him go for a long time.

The main concern is that Mr. Chen might misunderstand.

In Chang Wei's office, Zhang Ping's eyes were red from crying.

"I'm unemployed, what am I going to do now?"

"What kind of man are you, crying like this? I'll find you another job!"

As the vice president of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, it would be quite easy for him to arrange a job for Zhang Ping from an external partner.

"But where else can you find such good treatment?"

That's the truth. No matter which company Zhang Ping goes to, he wouldn't be able to get a base salary of 35,000 yuan per month, let alone be able to act like a tyrant like before.

"Just bear with it for now. Once I find Chen Xiao's weakness, you won't be coming back as long as he's at the company!"

Zhang Ping now knows where the problem lies: it's that the top salesperson doesn't like him!

"Uncle, I will not forget this grudge when I leave this time, and I will also gather some information about him!"

"By the way, I heard he was having an affair with that pretty assistant in the office!"

Chang Wei shook his head. Given Chen Xiao's position in the company, matters of the heart couldn't bring him down.

Only by finding the violations that caused the greatest harm to the company or posed a significant risk will there be an opportunity.

"That's settled then. Leave Chen Xiao's matter to me. Don't worry about it; you're not up to the task yet!"

Tianning City

Junxiao Commercial Management Regional Headquarters
Zhao Hui listened to Wu Fang's report and smiled slightly.

Wansheng Group has begun acquiring properties in its existing asset-light projects!
I don't know if they're serious about buying or just pretending, but in the previous deals that Zhao Hui negotiated, they were also raising the price.

"We also need to expedite negotiations regarding their prime properties, and at the same time, we require backup plans for each city."
Once Wansheng Group acquires this property, we cannot abandon this city. There should be no gaps in the commercial districts of any prefecture-level city!

If there is no other property in the area with good conditions and location, then hurry up and talk to the local government to build a new project!
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. This will put pressure on those projects. They won't drag their feet. Once we have other options, they'll behave themselves!
"If I wait another year or two, I won't need to buy anymore. I can build a new project from scratch, saving a lot of money, and the property management facilities can be much better. Isn't that a better deal?"

With several options available, and all roads leading to Rome, Zhao Hui wasn't going to wait.

He needs to finish his work in Ningxi Province as soon as possible, and there are still many untapped markets in other provinces and cities waiting for him to make his mark. Why would he be stuck in this one place?
Lu Tao probably didn't expect that Junxiao Commercial Management would soon launch a concentrated attack on his area. At that time, he might not be able to stay in Ningxi.

"Let's go inspect the stores!"

Wu Fang immediately notified the driver to arrange a vehicle.

Tianning Junxiao Plaza is currently experiencing a month-on-month increase in both customer traffic and daily sales.

According to recent average data, Junxiao Square has seen an average daily foot traffic of over 4 people on weekdays and over 7 people on weekends or holidays.

In contrast, the two Wansheng Plazas, like Junxiao Plaza, continue to issue consumer subsidy vouchers every month, but their average daily foot traffic on weekdays has dropped to 3.2, and on weekends or holidays it has dropped to 5.5!

The difference in daily sales is even greater, with Junxiao Plaza clearly having a higher average transaction value.

The two stores in Junxiao Plaza each had sales exceeding 200 million yuan in March, while the two stores in Wansheng Plaza had sales of less than 150 million yuan.

The distance between the two sides is widening further!

The most important point is that Junxiao Plaza has undergone a very significant brand upgrade, with many first stores in Ningxi opening.

In particular, the catering brands are far superior to those in Wansheng Plaza, which has greatly boosted the customer traffic of Junxiao Plaza.

In addition, brands like "SaMo" attract many customers to queue up and rush to the store to buy each time they release a product.

Some brands even collaborate with shopping malls, inviting their brand ambassadors to participate in offline events, injecting extraordinary vitality into Junxiao Plaza!

Gradually, this has led many consumers to shift their shopping habits here.

Lu Tao was at a loss. It wasn't that he was incompetent; he and even Wang Lun had to follow the group's rules. They could be flexible to some extent, but they couldn't overturn them all!

Junxiao Commercial Management is a new company, and its KPI assessment mainly revolves around how to increase customer traffic, increase store entry rate, increase repurchase rate, and serve consumers well. It is all about assessing the quality of operations, without prioritizing rental income!
In addition, Zhao Hui holds a high position of power and can make immediate adjustments when problems arise, acting very quickly.

However, any plan proposed by Wansheng Group that involves expenses must go through an OA process and be approved by dozens of people before it can be implemented.

This process may involve meetings and discussions, which is very inefficient.

In this situation, Lu Tao found himself in a very passive position in his struggle with Zhao Hui!
Dongjian Trading, led by Nie Yuan, has also arrived in Tianning!

This time, he brought his operations and purchasing team to visit the "Chaoxi Liangpin" store!
After visiting stores and communicating with them, everyone adjusted their operational direction and identified the key aspects of their products!
Zhang Ping was very excited. This was her first business trip since joining Dongjian Trading. She chatted happily with Chu Ting along the way!
This was the first time for both of them to visit Tianning, but Zhang Ping knew a little about Tianning from what she had learned from Han Xue during her university years!

Thinking of this, I sent a message to Han Xue!
[Zhang Ping: Han Xue, I'm also in Tianning today. Do you have time?]

They live in the same dormitory and know that Han Xue has also returned in the last couple of days!
[Han Xue: If you have time tonight and are in Tianning, I'd like to treat you to dinner!]

[Zhang Ping: I just arrived at Junwu Plaza!]

[Han Xue: Let's meet at Junwu Plaza then!]

Just then, she was handling some business at the Junxiao Hotel, and she should be done by now!
[Zhang Ping: Okay, I'll wait for you at the tea shop called 'Snow Falls in Spring Breeze' on the first floor. It's so crowded here. What would you like to drink? I'll buy you a cup!]

[Han Xue: Wait for me, no need to buy it!]

Han Xue finds it quite funny that she bought drinks from her own store and treated herself to them!

Several people have been standing at the entrance of "Snow Falls in Spring Breeze" looking into the store for quite a while!
"President Lu, we've opened stores for this brand in other parts of the country, but not in Hanjiang or Ningxi. What's the reason for that?"

"This brand is operated by 'Dongjian Trading'. We've talked to them, but their entry conditions are quite stringent, so we haven't been able to enter the market yet!"

"Dongjian Trading? Looks like he's latched onto Junxiao Trading's coattails. The man in his fifties in this shop looks like the owner; it doesn't seem to be a Dongjian Trading store!"

"I don't know. Let's have someone ask. If this brand isn't exclusively operated by Dongjian Trading, we still have a chance to bring it in!"

These people were Lu Tao and Wang Lun from Wansheng Group. They came out together today to check out the market and learn about their competitors so they could make adjustments accordingly.
Lu Tao asked the regional vice president of investment to go in and inquire. A short while later, the vice president returned and replied, "He is indeed a private owner; the tea shop next door also belongs to him!" (End of Chapter)
