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

Chen Xiao didn't make things difficult for the fat shop manager, because he knew the other party couldn't make that decision either.

The compensation system is something that a single store cannot control.

After leaving the supermarket, Chen Xiao told the general manager to go about his business and not to stay with him.

Lee Ji-eun and I strolled around Jun-hyo City.

"They are so pitiful. They work so hard and only earn 2000 yuan a month."

For her, 2000 yuan wasn't even enough for a meal, and for Chen Xiao, it was even less of a deal.

Chen Xiao was also thinking about this issue. He was preparing to invest trillions of yuan to build an island city that morning, while 2000 yuan was a worker's hard-earned money for a whole month.

The contrast between the saleswoman's worn-out cuffs and the diamond bracelet on Lee Ji-eun's wrist reminded him of the theme of "small money, big love" in "Wrinkles 200"—behind meager income are countless neglected dignity of survival.

"Ji-eun, what do you think about us starting our own supermarket/hypermarket?"

"For them?"

Nodding and then shaking his head, "It's not just that!"

"Supermarkets are supposed to be anchor stores in shopping malls, and they should naturally play a role in attracting customers to the malls. However, supermarkets are now in a slump. Apart from contributing a small portion of rent, they contribute very little to customer traffic. Moreover, most of the customers they do attract are elderly, which is not a good match for the target customer group of shopping malls."

I want to rebuild a supermarket to replace the existing supermarkets in the shopping centers under Junxiao Commercial Management.

Lee Ji-eun asked in confusion, "Based on what you just discussed about the current state of supermarkets and hypermarkets, this product category is already finding it difficult to survive."

"Others might struggle to survive doing this, but I can!"

He was confident that Junxiao Group had an increasingly strong influence and reputation in the Han River region and even across the country.

Consumers trust this brand, and Junxiao Group's business philosophy is people-oriented and sincere towards its customers.

Every consumer who shops at Junxiao Plaza can feel the continuously improving shopping experience at Junxiao Plaza.

Even if the supermarket itself is not profitable, as long as it can attract customers, it will have a very positive effect on the commercial plaza.

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, but who should I entrust with this project?

None of the business segments under Junxiao Group are involved in retail. Whether it's Yinuo Group or Jiexun Sports, they all deal in branded apparel, so it wouldn't be suitable for them to operate large-scale stores.

Fortunately, Junxiao Supermarket doesn't need to expand too quickly in the early stages. It can first select one store, refine it, and create a model store before expanding to Junxiao Plazas across the country.

I was just strolling around today when I unexpectedly discovered that my Junxiao Group is about to add another product category.

"If employees' income cannot be guaranteed, what reason is there to expect them to be dedicated and responsible?"

With this in mind, he and Li Zhien visited the Yinuo Group's stores in Junxiao City and learned about their salary levels. The average income was over 8000 yuan, which was very attractive in Jiangzhou.

Nodding to himself, it seemed that Zhang Shijie had taken his words to heart and had made great efforts to promote it. The average base salary of the sales associates had been increased by 1000 yuan, and the compensation system had also been adjusted.

While the two were shopping at LV, they didn't expect that the sales consultant was a die-hard fan of Lee Ji-eun. Even though she was wearing a mask, she was still recognized and couldn't help but scream, forcing them to come to an abrupt end to their afternoon's activities.

If they continued shopping, they would attract a crowd, and Chen Xiao, who was preoccupied with the supermarket, took her back to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center.

The lounge on the 58th floor was lit only by a warm yellow wall lamp, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offered a panoramic view of the vast Egret Lake. A faint scent of cedar wafted in the air, mixed with the lingering citrus fragrance from Lee Ji-eun's hair.

She will be leaving Jiangzhou tomorrow, so the two of them will naturally make the most of this time.

She lay on her side on the velvet sheets, her fingertips unconsciously drawing circles on Chen Xiao's chest.

“To expand into a large retail store…” she chuckled suddenly, “Is it time to add another business?” Her fingertips slid down his collarbone to his neckline, unbuttoning a button.

He caught her mischievous hand, and as their palms met, she felt the strength of his fingertips—hands that held power. He rolled over, trapping her beneath him, his nose brushing against her earlobe: "Why don't we think about how to keep this up until dawn?"

Lee Ji-eun tilted her head back and gently bit his Adam's apple, leaving a faint red mark on his skin: "Oppa, I'll stay by your side even if it costs me my life." She bent her knees against his waist, and her nightgown slipped down to her thighs, revealing the diamond anklet on her ankle.

Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his fingers threading through her long hair to catch the back of her neck. The moment his kiss landed, the tablet on the bedside table still displayed Zhang Ziqian's draft of the supermarket's salary scheme. The budget and her rapid breathing overlapped; a commercial airliner swept past the window, seemingly foreshadowing an imminent takeoff.

In the adjacent lounge, Zhang Ziqian quietly opened a small hidden compartment and peeked through the crack at the scene of Li Zhien being pinned against the French windows by Chen Xiao.

Lee Ji-eun truly lives up to her reputation as an international superstar; her voice is beautiful.

"Korean women have such good skin. She has such a cute and healing face, and I didn't expect her to have such a good figure as well. Her butt is so big and round."

"She seems to exercise regularly, perhaps yoga?"

"The boss's physique is getting better and better, and I've never seen him exercise. How does he maintain it?"

Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping sharply towards the hidden compartment. She froze, completely at a loss. "It's over, we've been discovered," he whispered, only daring to exhale a trembling breath after burying his face in Li Zhi'en's neck and shoulder again.

Then I realized, "This isn't the first time I've been discovered," and I felt relieved.

The only pity is that she has to leave work, while the battle between the boss and Lee Ji-eun will probably last a long, long time.

The next day, when Zhang Ziqian came to work, she found her boss studying with great enthusiasm the analysis she had submitted the day before about the situation of major supermarkets across the country, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each company.

"Ziqian, you take Zhien and the others to the airport later. I need to talk to Han Xue about something. She's going on a business trip with President Gao this afternoon, so I only have this short time in the morning."

Zhang Ziqian glanced towards the lounge. Needless to say, Lee Ji-eun must have suffered another crushing defeat last night, otherwise she wouldn't still be in bed. Korean women may have great skin, but their bodies are a bit weak and they can't take it!
On the way to the airport, Lee Ji-eun lay down in the back seat and slept. "Ziqian, I'm sorry, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

My God, what kind of inhumane torture did she endure last night?

As Zhang Ziqian recalled the scenes in her mind, she felt that she shouldn't have challenged such a freakish person as her boss.

"Han Xue, come and sit down!"

The black dress was as deep as the night sky, making her skin look as white as snow, like moonlight pouring onto glazed white porcelain.

The off-shoulder design reveals delicate collarbones and a slender neck, while the snow-white back is faintly visible, creating a striking visual contrast with the dark color of the dress, as if the luster of ice sculptures and jade is being carved.

After transforming from a girl into a woman, she became even more womanly.

The fitted waist accentuates a slender figure, while the high slit skirt sways with every step, revealing glimpses of long, shapely legs and adding a touch of lively charm.

Just as she was about to sit down on the Hermès circular sofa, Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "Where are you going to sit?"

Huh? Han Xue looked at him in confusion.

He patted his thigh. "Come on, sit here!"

Han Xue blushed, her long black dress swaying gently with her steps, making her skin appear as white as snow. As she approached, her high heels sank into the carpet, making a soft, muffled sound.

The next second, she placed one hand on his shoulder, her skirt fluttering like a butterfly's wing as she straddled him. His hand firmly supported her slender waist, and the distance between them suddenly closed.

Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his fingertips caressing her waist, a dark current surging in his eyes: "Not bad. Have you been too busy with work lately and not paying attention to your diet? How come you've lost weight?"

As she spoke, she lifted the high slit with her hand, and then, following the smooth, jade-like skin, cupped her two plump buttocks with both hands.

"Are you going on another business trip with General Manager Gao this afternoon?"

She felt the large hands kneading her, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, let's go talk to President Gao about an acquisition project."

Gao Yue has been very busy lately. Her annual expense budget for this year is 500 billion yuan, which has been approved by the group. She has been flying all over the country recently, desperately expanding her business empire.

Han Xue shifted uncomfortably, feeling Chen Xiao's hands lifting her buttocks.

She lay on his shoulder, not daring to move, letting Chen Xiao gently shake her.

"Han Xue, let's talk about work."

Han Xue thought he was joking. Was he talking about work? You'd be more accurate to say he was doing something.

But then she realized that he really was talking about work.

“I want to build a supermarket. The supermarkets currently being leased outside Junxiao Plaza have poor environments, poor service, and unreliable products. This contradicts Junxiao Plaza’s philosophy of providing the best service to our customers. And we can’t find a partner that satisfies me through external leasing, so I want to do it myself.”

"For this project, I'm not pursuing high profits. Instead, my core focus is on providing customers with the ultimate shopping experience, ensuring that our supermarket is the first thing they think of when they have a shopping need."

Han Xue listened without saying anything, as she didn't know much about supermarket operations.

“This project is different from other categories under Junxiao Group. Other categories have existing teams and can be modified slightly based on the existing business model. But this supermarket is different. If outsiders are allowed to operate it, it will be difficult for them to understand the feeling I want and they will take many detours. So it must be handed over to our own people.”

The hem of his long black dress fell to his knees, making his fair skin appear even more radiant against the dark fabric.

She had a premonition that this project was related to her; otherwise, Chen Xiao wouldn't have specifically asked her to talk about it. Could it be that he was thinking...?
He shook his head inwardly, thinking, "How could that be? I just graduated. How could I possibly be in charge of a project on my own?"

But Chen Xiao's next words made her forget what she was doing.

"I want to entrust this project to you!" There are several reasons why Han Xue was chosen to be in charge:

First, as he just said, this project must be managed by someone close to him so that they can better understand his intentions. If it is a professional manager, that level will almost never have the opportunity to meet him, and they will not understand his thoughts, so it will be difficult to implement his intentions.

Secondly, Han Xue is his woman. As his business empire and assets grow larger, he will gradually ensure that all his women have their own careers, except for those who choose to remain kept in the gilded cage.
Finally, Han Xue has been training under Gao Yue during this period. Although she has no experience in supermarket operations, she has the ability to oversee the overall situation, which is the most important factor for a general manager.

Based on the above points, he decided to transfer Han Xue to be his special assistant and the general manager of Junxiao Supermarket.

The scope of this position was far smaller than her previous role at Junxiao Hotel Group, but she was an assistant there, and here she is the general manager.

Sensing that Han Xue was in a daze, Chen Xiao forcefully lifted his hips upwards.

She immediately exclaimed in surprise, then said, "Am I capable? I'm afraid I'll delay your important business."

"If you don't mind that the project is small and the work is complicated, that's fine. But it's not small either. According to Junxiao Commercial Management's development plan, there will be at least 500 projects nationwide in the future. That means you may have to manage nearly 500 supermarkets and hypermarkets, and the annual revenue will definitely exceed 3000 billion."

According to Chen Xiao's plan for supermarkets and hypermarkets, his goal is for each store to generate an average annual revenue of 6 million yuan.

"Then I'll take on Ms. Gao's side as well, otherwise it will be too tiring for her to do it all by herself."

She and Gao Yue have a good relationship; indeed, Gao Yue was her mentor.

Chen Xiao kneaded her smooth, delicate thighs and smiled as he heard this, saying, "I'll let her get through this. Once you take over here, there will be a lot of things to do. After all, neither of us has experience running a supermarket or hypermarket, so let's think about the problems in a more complicated way."

Han Xue seemed a little reluctant to part with Gao Yue. She would definitely agree to Chen Xiao's arrangement, but the thought of being separated from Gao Yue in the future made her feel somewhat sad.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao whispered in her ear, "Next time you come to rest, the two of you should go together. That way you'll get a much clearer view than eavesdropping."

Han Xue was immediately embarrassed; just thinking about that scene made her blush. But if he could persuade President Gao to agree, why not accompany them?

Little did she know that Gao Yue was far bolder than her; even before she was very familiar with Lin Ya, she dared to play the game of having two lovers.

"Later, I'll have Li Man pick a floor downstairs, just like the other business units' office areas, and set up an office area for you. You can start working here from the beginning. My work will still need you and Ziqian to share the burden."

It's no exaggeration to say that it's fortunate that a boss like Chen Xiao doesn't do management himself; otherwise, he would need a secretarial team, and two assistants simply wouldn't be able to handle it all.

Xu Wu's current secretarial team already has more than a dozen members, let alone him.

"I will follow your arrangements."

Chen Xiaochang was extremely happy, saying, "Han Xue is the most well-behaved."

This caused Han Xue to tremble, and then she leaned on his shoulder.

What time are you leaving this afternoon?

"Depart at 13:00 sharp."

Chen Xiao glanced at the wall clock. "It's only 11:30 now. Ziqian will be back soon. Call President Gao over for lunch, then you can leave."

"General Manager Gao went to Junxiaowanghu Hotel to inspect the work."

Just as we were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Han Xue was startled and screamed.

"It's Ziqian who's back."

No one can come to Chen Xiao's office without an appointment, except for his personal assistant Zhang Ziqian.

She calculated the time; it was about time for her to take Lee Ji-eun to the airport.

Han Xue sprang up from Chen Xiao's lap almost reflexively, the hem of her black dress billowing out a fragrant breeze.

Her ears instantly turned red, and she frantically straightened her skirt. Chen Xiao, however, leaned back in his chair calmly, his gaze sweeping playfully over her reddened earlobes. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "What's the panic? It's not like it's the first time we've been caught."

Two more hesitant knocks came from outside the door, followed by Zhang Ziqian's cautious inquiry: "President Chen."

Han Xue strode quickly to the window in her high heels, pretending to organize documents, her back ramrod straight.

Chen Xiao then lazily replied, "Come in."

Zhang Ziqian entered, but paused slightly the moment she saw the scene inside—

Chen Xiao was leaning back on the sofa, the second button of his shirt undone. Han Xue, standing beside him, appeared calm, but her earlobes were flushed with a suspicious blush, and the hem of her black dress seemed to have a slight, almost imperceptible wrinkle. A faint scent of perfume lingered in the air, mixed with the lingering, ambiguous atmosphere.

Zhang Ziqian's gaze lingered briefly between the two of them before she lowered her eyes, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

"Ziqian, go and arrange for the kitchen to prepare lunch. There will be three of us, Han Xue and I."

"Okay, boss, Han Xue, would you like me to show you around?"

After all, Han Xue is now Chen Xiao's special assistant, so she does need to familiarize herself with these matters.

Han Xue turned around, hummed in response, and resumed her usual aloofness, but couldn't hide the faint blush that hadn't faded from the back of her neck.

Ningxi Junxiao Business Management First War Zone Headquarters
Zhao Hui leaned back in his leather executive chair, his fingertips tapping absently on the armrest. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the steel forest of Tianning gleamed coldly in the twilight, casting a sharp shadow over his silhouette.

"Mr. Zhao, the due diligence report for Wansheng Plaza." Wu Fang gently placed the document on the ebony desk, the edges of the pages trembling slightly. "This price is already astronomical, but the premium potential in a prime commercial area..."

He raised his hand to stop the conversation, pressing his index finger to his temple and closing his eyes briefly. This gesture made the office eerily quiet.

"That's settled then. Sign the contract as soon as possible and require the property owner to ensure the handover between Wansheng Group and Junxiao Commercial Management within the timeframe stipulated in the contract."

"in addition--"

Zhao Hui suddenly leaned forward, pressing his elbow down on the document. Wu Fang immediately felt a powerful sense of pressure. "Spread the word that whichever project Huang Wei goes to, I will concentrate my firepower on suppressing that project." A half-smile appeared on his lips. "Isn't he trying to be the first to stick his neck out? This time, let him be a model for all the project general managers of Wansheng Group across the country."

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish!

In Yancheng, Huang Wei received a phone call, and his face immediately turned cold.

He suddenly felt that the cold air coming out of the central air conditioning vents was like ice shards, seeping down his shirt collar and into his spine.

"General Manager Huang?" The vice president, who was giving a work report, noticed that Huang's hand, which was holding a coffee cup, was frozen in mid-air, and the brown liquid rippled on the rim of the cup.

“Notify all department heads,” he said, removing his gold-rimmed glasses and wiping them with his sleeve—a gesture that made his voice sound like it was being sanded, “an emergency meeting in one hour… no, half an hour.”

"Mr. Huang, what happened?"

The vice president had recently heard all sorts of rumors, and Huang's expression at that moment made him think of many things.

Huang Wei gave him a meaningful look, wondering whether the vice president was happy or not after hearing the news.

After rejecting Junxiao Commercial Management's offer and making some arrogant remarks, he has now been blacklisted by Junxiao Commercial Management nationwide.

After the project was acquired, I could only temporarily return to Wansheng Group as a regional general manager in reserve, waiting for an opportunity.

So, is there a chance for the vice president to fill this vacant general manager position? Perhaps he's been waiting for that opportunity all along?
"This project has been confirmed to be acquired by Junxiao Commercial Management, and the handover will be completed by the end of this month. Those who wish to stay can wait for an interview with Junxiao Commercial Management; those who do not wish to stay will wait for regional reassignment. Will you stay or wait for regional reassignment?"

"It's really been acquired? No wonder Huang Wei looks so grim."

The vice president had naturally heard some rumors and knew that once this project was acquired by Junxiao Commercial Management, Huang Wei would be dismissed and forced to leave.

As the project's business manager, my opportunity should be here by now.

He kept his head down, so that no one could see his eyes, but there flickered a kind of restrained flame within them.

"Huang Wei is going to be dismissed?" This thought exploded in his chest like a drop of water falling into a hot oil pan.

"The opportunity has arrived." As this voice crept up his brain, he replied calmly, "Mr. Huang, I'm from Yancheng. Where can I go?"

Huang Wei's fingertips hovered over the keyboard for a full three seconds. The blue light from the screen reflected the fine lines at the corners of his eyes as he chuckled softly, "I understand."

The saying "when people leave, the tea cools" applies everywhere. In the workplace, no one will really stay with you for life. Besides, to the vice president of business, you might still be an obstacle. If you don't leave, he will never have a chance.

conference room
"You all know, right?" Huang Wei suddenly laughed, tapping his knuckles on the printed acquisition announcement. "Our project, painstakingly developed over several years, has now become a boon to our competitor."

The expressions on the faces of those below varied, and Huang Wei knew that from this moment on, he would no longer be able to command his subordinates as easily as he used his own arms.

"Everyone, please prepare for the handover with Junxiao Business Management. Meeting adjourned!"

The moment the glass doors closed, Huang Wei's phone lit up; the screensaver photo showed his six-year-old son standing on the ribbon-cutting stage at the opening ceremony of Wansheng Plaza. Outside the window, dusk was falling, and the Junxiao Commercial Management logo was already lit up two streets away.

Huang Wei sneered. With such thorough preparation, it seemed that Mr. Zhao was truly determined to win this project. (End of Chapter)
