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

Lu Tao paced back and forth in his office at the Ningxi regional headquarters, feeling anxious and uneasy.
Jingle bell bell~!

The phone rang, and when he picked it up and glanced at it, it turned out to be an unexpected call!

After hesitating for a moment, I answered the call!
"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Lu!"

Speaking of which, I was his former boss, and even several levels below him!
A year ago, Lu Tao could only say that he valued Xu Jun highly, but now he has to look up to him!

"Mr. Lu, shall we schedule a time to meet and talk?"

Lu Tao's heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew what they were going to talk about, as headhunters had contacted him several times before!

When he arrived in Ningxi, he formulated a "return of the elderly" plan for Hanjiang and Ningxi, and began to poach people from Junxiao Commercial Management, but after so long, there has been almost no success.

No one at the store manager level or above even considered talking to them.

It makes sense. Junxiao Commercial Management is developing rapidly, with a good working environment and great opportunities for advancement. Who would want to come to Wansheng Group? Not only would they be exhausted every day, but they also wouldn't know how long they could keep their positions.

Junxiao Commercial Management, on the other hand, had a smooth time poaching people from Wansheng Group. For example, Li Chun, the deputy general manager of the Hanjiang region, was poached by them after the group had been cultivating him for so long!
Lu Tao could understand; people naturally strive for better things!

The reason he has persisted until now is partly because Wansheng Group has been kind to him and his career was made possible by Wansheng Group. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he still wants to fight alongside the group!
Moreover, he is now the vice president and regional manager of Wansheng Group, a position of great power and influence. He can wait for the right price to come his way, so there is no need for him to appear so eager as soon as a headhunter contacts him!
Xu Jun called him today, which touched him somewhat, after all, Xu Jun is now the chairman of Junxiao Commercial Management!
Unlike Wansheng Group, which only has one commercial complex brand, Junxiao Commercial Management has three. Lu Tao believes that these three brands will definitely become independent in the future.

After becoming independent, Junxiao Plaza became Wansheng Group's strongest competitor. Junxiao City and Junwu Plaza, positioned as high-end and affordable luxury respectively, are different from Wansheng Group.

In the future, Junxiao Plaza will become a commercial company that is on par with, or even surpasses, Wansheng Group. How prestigious will Xu Jun's status be then?
When someone like that calls him, he'll naturally give them face, and at the same time, he'll try to get a chance for himself!
Agreeing to a headhunter's offer is worlds apart from talking directly with Xu Jun!

"Whenever you have time, Mr. Xu, I'll come over!"

Xu Jun smiled, wondering if Lu Tao's statement meant that he had actually been waiting for him all along.

It's not that he doesn't want to come to Junxiao Plaza, but he's unsure about the treatment and career development opportunities he'll receive there.

By taking the initiative to extend an olive branch, he put aside all his concerns. As long as he reached an agreement with her, his position in Junxiao Commercial Management would naturally be secure!

Lu Tao's "anytime" truly means "anytime"!
Xu Jun was going on a business trip the next afternoon, so Lu Tao immediately decided to return to Jiangzhou that evening. This was a blatant declaration of his intentions!

The outcome was already known almost without discussion; the evening meeting was mainly for catching up and finalizing his treatment.
-
The First People's Hospital of the City
In a private ward in the inpatient department, Wei Ming lay on his hospital bed, his hatred for Xu Jia and Wang Ping almost surpassing that for Luffy!

Several bowls of sauce were poured on my face, and the excruciating pain was something I had never experienced before in my life. I even got hit twice in a row!
Finally, Yan Yue threw him out, and his lower back was badly injured. He already had some lumbar muscle strain, and now he's lying in bed and it hurts to move even a little!
The vice president went out to buy him food; the hospital food was terrible.

In the hospital corridor, a young man in his early twenties with a dark complexion and a somewhat simple appearance was carrying a plastic bag and looking at the ward number plates as he walked.
305, this is it!
The patient's name is on it: Wei Ming!
Pushing open the ward door, Wei Ming thought it was the vice president returning, as he was already starving!

I looked up and saw a stranger!
"who are you?"

Since it was in the hospital, he didn't think much of it and assumed he had gone to the wrong ward!
"You're Wei Ming, right?"

"Yes, it is! What do you want?"

"I brought you some food!"

When the food was delivered, Wei Ming assumed that the vice president had gone down to buy it and had it brought up. But when he saw the young man take out a disposable foam box from the plastic bag, he was shocked.
Ok?
He sniffed the air and thought, "Why does it smell so bad? Damn it, this young man has no manners!"
They assumed it was just a young man farting and blamed him for not knowing how to hold it in.

With a look of utter disgust, he opened the styrofoam box and shoved it directly at Wei Ming's face, saying, "I'm inviting you to eat shit!"

Before Wei Ming could react, the substance was smeared all over his face.

The stench assaulted his sense of taste, causing his pupils to dilate, his breathing to stop, and him to vomit immediately. At that moment, he even wanted to die!

The young man ran away as soon as he finished doing it!

Wei Ming couldn't care less about him at this moment. Feces entered his eyes and mouth, his eyes were glazed, his limbs trembled, and he temporarily lost his ability to speak. He kept gagging, and tears and snot flowed down his face!

When have I ever been insulted like this? This goes beyond the scope of ordinary personal attacks; it's a crime!
How dare he? Wei Ming thought to himself, and burst into uncontrollable sobs!

When the vice president brought in the food, he saw Wei Ming covered in feces, vomiting by the bedside, and crying his eyes out. He was truly emotionally broken!

The stench was unbearable. The vice president put his things down and went out to call a nurse!
There's no way to clean up Wei Ming's mess; he's been completely ruined!

It took me ages to clean the sauce and chili oil off my forehead, and now I've got a head full of poop!

Who's so cruel as to do this to them!
The nurse who came in was also stunned when she saw the situation. In all her years of medical practice, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation!
"We will immediately arrange for someone to retrieve the video footage, and at the same time, we can call the police and request their intervention!"

Several "angels" asked the vice president for help to clean the feces from his eyes, nose, and mouth with saline solution!

The vice president really regrets not mentioning his resignation this afternoon. Is this even a job for a human being?

Who would need to do this kind of job?

It took a full hour, and everyone was almost exhausted!

Wei Ming remained silent, looking as if he were living a life worse than death, completely at the mercy of others!
"You need to observe whether the patient develops any mental problems! We're worried it might trigger long-term paranoia, and they might also refuse to eat!"

diet?

The vice president remembered that Wei Ming was already hungry and had asked him to go out and buy him something to eat, so he immediately asked, "Mr. Wei, would you like something to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ming immediately collapsed and began vomiting violently again!
"Sir, please don't feed him for a while. He can't eat anything right now. Although we've cleaned him up, it's only on the surface. Some of it has already gone down his esophagus!"

The vice president felt a shiver run down his spine; he felt utterly disgusted!
He found a caregiver for Wei Ming, since the company would reimburse him, and he wouldn't stay here with him.

I thought that I could win his favor, or even the chairman's, favor by helping him wipe the hot pot sauce, but who would have thought that I would almost become a latrine cleaner on the first night.

Ma Jian looked at Luffy, who was laughing foolishly, and asked, "Old Luffy, what are you laughing at?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. But as soon as he did, Luffy burst into laughter. Just when Ma Jian was starting to get annoyed, he handed his phone to Ma Jian!

"Boss, take a look at this photo!"

He picked up his phone suspiciously. It was a photo someone had sent to Luffy, showing a person lying in a hospital bed.

It must have been frightened by something; its mouth was wide open, but you couldn't make out its features because its face was all yellowish.
"Damn, Lao Lu, you're such a freak!"

Ma Jian's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

"Where did you get this photo? It's disgusting, is it photoshopped?"

"No, boss, this is a true story. You didn't recognize who was lying there?"

Ok?
After Luffy pointed it out, Ma Jian realized that it was someone he knew, so he took another closer look and finally spotted some familiar figures!
That hairstyle, that build, isn't that Wei Ming?
"Old Lu, did you have this photo taken?"

"Yes, boss, does that feel better?"

Ma Jian gagged, almost vomiting. "You motherfucker, you're a real pervert. It's satisfying to be angry, but only you could pull off such disgusting tactics. Wei Ming must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into you!"

Luffy laughed and said, "I must have burned incense for eight lifetimes to meet him, he's so lucky for me!"

Shaking his head, he said, "You can mess with him all you want, but don't do anything illegal. I trust President Chen won't let you break the law!"

Luffy nodded and said, "Boss, I understand. I'll be careful. These two times they spent a lot of money. They've prepared for the worst, just that some enthusiastic people might dislike him and try to mess with him!"

"Okay, don't do it again next time. What? Twice?"

Ma Jian's eyes widened. What? There's another time?

"Stop it right now, this is going too far!"

Luffy shrugged, "It's too late!"

Ma Jian checked the time: 21:00 PM.
He glanced at his phone and saw that the photo was taken at 19:30 PM. This really doesn't give anyone a moment to breathe!

"Wei Ming can only 'eat and drink his fill' tonight!"

Wei Ming was so frustrated that he became somewhat withdrawn. He had never suffered like this since he was a pampered child. Ever since he came to Jiangzhou, each wave of hardship seemed to be more severe than the last.

This day was a prime example of something that wasn't particularly harmful but was extremely humiliating. He'll probably never escape the shadow of this for the rest of his life. No matter how the vice president spoke to him, he wouldn't respond; he just clenched his fists tightly.

Don't let yourself get caught, or he'll be dead!

"Mr. Wei, the caregiver will be here soon. I'll go downstairs and buy you some toiletries!"

He planned to finish shopping, give instructions to the caregiver, and then go home. Staying here, the whole ward smelled terrible. Wei Ming had already gotten used to it, but he couldn't!
Especially when you go outside for some fresh air and then come back in, the feeling is just so refreshing!
That evening, in the hospital corridor, a middle-aged man in his forties carried a small basin with a lid on, walking casually without attracting attention. When he reached room 305, he glanced left and right, then pushed open the door and went inside. Finding the room empty, he seemed relieved.
Wei Ming glanced at him, saw him carrying a basin, and assumed he was a caregiver with his personal belongings, so he turned his head away and put on a look of utter despair.

The man opened the lid and frowned. The smell was too awful. He looked at Wei Ming, who didn't react at all. Was he immune to the smell?
Never mind him, let's finish the job and go home to collect our reward!

"Mr. Wei, please finish this bowl!"

When Wei Ming realized something was wrong, he only had time to turn his head and see the man pick up the basin and splash a pool of dark, shimmering water at him.

His pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and the sticky residue slid down his nose into his half-open mouth.

The sour, rancid smell, mixed with undigested food residue, exploded in the nasal cavity and throat.

The burning sensation of oil smearing my eyes, the sound of soup flowing into my ears, and the half-rotten vegetable leaf hanging on my hospital gown that I could grab with my fingertips—all five senses were out of balance in the stench.

"Ah, ahh, I'm going to kill you, ugh!"

He collapsed onto the bed again, but this time he was smarter and knew to press the call button with his hand!

The nurse and the vice president arrived at the same time, and looked at each other in disbelief at the scene!
Who has such a grudge against him? The feces from 19:30 PM haven't even been digested yet, and this is another bucket of swill.

The vice president was extremely frustrated. It would have been better if he had come later. This was originally the caregiver's job, but now he and the nurses were responsible for cleaning it.

After cleaning for more than ten minutes, the caregiver arrived. She was shocked when she saw the scene and refused to continue. She said that being a caregiver was harder than cleaning the toilet!
Don't make a little money and end up depressed!

He resolutely refused to do it, so the vice president had to contact someone else. By this time, Wei Ming had been almost completely cleaned up. He raised his head, his eyes red and swollen, and said, "I want to be discharged from the hospital. I want to go home. I will never stay in the hospital again!"

The cries were heart-wrenching, like a child afraid of needles, "I want to go home, I'm not coming back, I'll never come back again!"

The nurse sighed. "We really didn't want you to come. We're nurses, not sanitation workers!"
Taking care of patients is one thing, but dealing with the garbage is another!

He had a check-up in the afternoon and there were no major problems. There wasn't much difference between recuperating at home and in the hospital. The vice president helped him with the discharge procedures and breathed a sigh of relief.

If this happens twice more today, I'll drive myself insane!
Lu Tao rushed to Jiangzhou overnight, and Xu Jun welcomed him with open arms.

Junxiao Lakeside Hotel booked a presidential suite for Lu Tao, which is the highest level of courtesy!

This reflects Xu Jun's attitude towards him, because he was Xu Jun's former superior. If it were a large region in another war zone, Xu Jun would not have treated him this way.

Another reason is what President Chen told us in the afternoon. Lu Tao was the first breach he dug out from Wansheng Group. After he came over, Zhao Hui in Ningxi was under even less pressure. Taking advantage of the fact that the other side was leaderless, we can launch a big battle!

In fact, regardless of whether Lu Tao comes or not, Zhao Hui has already launched a full-scale attack. Even if Lu Tao resigns, it will be at least a month from now, and Zhao Hui will not wait that long!
In the reception room, the two shook hands tightly and then took their seats.
"Mr. Xu, I'm a little apprehensive!"

Xu Jun assumed Lu Tao was expressing his gratitude for the high regard he was receiving, and said with a smile, "You're my former boss, so of course I have to give you some 'special treatment'."

He made a joke to make people feel closer to him.

Lu Tao, however, didn't mean it that way. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "President Xu, you're not aware of what happened this afternoon, are you?"

"whats the matter?"

Xu Jun tossed a 95 Supreme cigarette to Lu Tao, then lit one for himself.

I gave a wry smile; the thing I feared most had happened.

Xu Jun's invitation was an opportunity Lu Tao had been waiting for, but what about what happened at noon? Would Chen Xiao hold a grudge against him? If Chen Xiao harbored resentment towards him, Xu Jun would never use him again, and he would have no chance.

He was thinking about this problem on his way here. What if he went from Wansheng Group to Junxiao Commercial Management and ended up being killed by Chen Xiao? That would be truly heartbreaking!

He objectively described what happened at noon, and when he mentioned that Wei Ming threw the sauce bowl, the direction of which was towards Zhao Xiangjun!
Xu Jun couldn't help but let out a gasp and slid off the sofa onto the floor.

It wasn't until she heard He Qing stand up for her that she wiped her sweat and sat up straight again. Thinking back to President Chen's murderous look that afternoon, she finally understood why he was so furious!

When the emperor is angry, corpses lie scattered for miles; what about when President Chen is angry? Will Jincheng Sports and Wansheng Group be wiped out?
He secretly sent a message to President Chen, saying that Xu Jun and Lu Tao had the same concerns. However, after the two of them reached an agreement, Chen Xiao sentenced Lu Tao to death. That would not only ruin Lu Tao's career, but also his own reputation.

[Xu Jun: Good evening, Mr. Chen. I apologize for disturbing your rest. I was unaware of what happened at noon, so I arranged for Lu Tao to come to Jiangzhou today!]

He didn't ask if Lu Tao could be used; Chen Xiao understood this information immediately.

Chen Xiao: He doesn't affect anything.

[Xu Jun: Received, thank you, Mr. Chen!]

"I breathed a sigh of relief, 'President Chen didn't hold you responsible!'"

Lu Tao felt relieved. Although he hadn't done anything to offend those people at noon, he had been with Wang Lun after all.

Now that Chen Xiao wasn't holding a grudge against him, his conversation with Xu Jun went much more smoothly!
The two reminisced about their past relationship before getting straight to the point.

Xu Jun frankly told him that he was going to establish regional branches in all the provincial-level municipalities across the country, and that there was a shortage of senior talents. Therefore, he was eager to find talent and hoped that Lu Tao could come and help him!

The fact that we're setting up branches across the country can't be hidden; as soon as we take action, everyone will know!
[Xu Jun: We have now established three major war zones. I am currently concurrently in charge of the third war zone, and I would like to invite you to come and take charge!]

[Lu Tao: I really didn't expect Junxiao Commercial Management to develop so quickly!]

After the New Year, he began to oversee Ningxi, and his strategy for dealing with Junxiao Commercial Management was still one of encirclement and suppression. He didn't think much of the nouveau riche in this area.

But after several months, only after a real confrontation did we realize how formidable our opponent was.

Although Junxiao Commercial Management is still not as large as Wansheng Group in terms of quantity and scale, the quality of its projects and its influence in the industry have surpassed Wansheng Group in just half a year.

On the Ningxi battlefield, despite exhausting all his resources and transferring resources from an entire region, he was still forced to retreat step by step. Now, with 30 billion yuan from President Wang, he could only use it to acquire a few plazas to secure his basic base. In the long run, it would be insufficient to withstand Junxiao Commercial Management's offensive.

Xu Jun said that they are preparing to establish branches in all provincial-level municipalities across the country, which means that they are preparing to launch a major offensive.

Not only will his own region be challenged across the board, leaving him unable to attend to everything, but even President Wang and the CEO will probably have a headache. With the battle raging and the group's cash flow tight, how should they deal with it?

[Xu Jun: I've recently been reporting to the group on the future organizational structure of Junxiao Commercial Management. It seems we'll be spinning off all three commercial brands—Junxiao Plaza, Junwu Plaza, and Junxiao City—into separate subsidiaries. But this will only exacerbate my shortage of senior management talent!]

Lu Tao pondered. He knew that Xu Jun's words were not a complaint, but rather an indication of how many opportunities he would have in the future!
Junxiao Business Management is like a rising sun, while Wansheng Group is already in decline. As a mature professional manager, one naturally knows how to choose.

In fact, the fact that he arrived in Jiangzhou from Tianning at this time indicates that he had already made a choice.

[Lu Tao: Mr. Xu, I'm willing to come to Junxiao Commercial Management and serve under your command!]

He is a decisive person. Once the general direction is determined, he has already made up his mind. So even when all the treatment details were unclear, he expressed his opinion first.

Xu Jun smiled!

[Xu Jun: Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu. We haven't discussed the terms yet.]

Lu Tao shook his head: "None of that matters. What I value most is Junxiao Commercial Management's platform and development potential!"

Xu Jun laughed heartily!
"We have to work to make a living, so we can't ignore the issue of compensation. Tell me your expectations!"

Lu Tao didn't mince words, "My annual salary at Wansheng Group is 400 million plus year-end bonus!"

Xu Jun nodded: "500 million annual salary + year-end bonus!"

Lu Tao was somewhat surprised, not expecting Xu Jun to be so agreeable and directly increase the base salary by 100 million.

He didn't know how much leeway Chen Xiao had given Xu Jun; he could have given him 500 million, let alone 800 million.

"The year-end bonus at Junxiao Commercial Management is no small amount. I'm sure you've heard that many colleagues who joined Junxiao Commercial Management in January this year received a substantial bonus during the Spring Festival!"

Lu Tao nodded. It is said that many store general managers received a year-end bonus of 100 million yuan, which is unprecedented in the industry. They did not provide services to Junxiao Commercial Management last year, but still received a year-end bonus of 100 million yuan.

He also knew that Junxiao Commercial Management's move had immediately won over this executive, to the point that no matter how he tried to persuade people to work with him later, he couldn't get anyone from Junxiao Commercial Management to join him.

A large platform, strong capabilities, and a generous boss—isn't this the ultimate goal for every working person?

Lu Tao's trip was worthwhile. The treatment and opportunities he received far exceeded his expectations. More importantly, his actions earned him Xu Jun's favor, which will play a crucial role in his future development at Junxiao Commercial Management.

"President Xu, I'll resign as soon as I get back. I reckon if President Wang knows I'm determined to leave, the person in charge of things in Ningxi will be replaced soon, and President Zhao will have a new opponent!"

Xu Jun laughed heartily: "That's even better, President Zhao won't be lenient with others either!"

Lu Tao smiled too, his thoughts immediately returning to Ningxi, thinking of Zhao Hui, the regional general manager who was not yet 30! (End of this chapter)
