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

Upon arriving at the 49th floor, the first thing you see when you step out of the elevator is a large sign for "Dongjian Trading Co., Ltd." Don't be fooled by the fact that they were classmates with Ma Jian; they are now from two different worlds.

Looking at this modern and luxuriously decorated office area, the 1200-square-meter open-plan office was filled with busy employees, at least more than 100 people. This was only a few months ago, and Ma Jian was in the retail business, so most of the employees were in the stores.

The receptionist led them to Ma Jian's office and said to them, "Please wait a moment, let me see if Mr. Ma is available right now?"

Several people looked at the sign on the door that read "Chairman's Office," and thought that this was the kind of style that bosses of large companies in TV dramas usually have.

The receptionist listened to a few words of instruction from inside, then turned back to the group and said, "Mr. Ma invites you in."

Fortunately, Ma Jian's office was big enough, and the sofa was long enough to accommodate so many people.

When Meng Jianshu and his group saw Luffy, they quickly greeted him. They had seen Luffy at the "Xiao Restaurant" and knew that he was the big boss of Jiexun Sports, worth hundreds of millions.

The secretary came over and served tea to the group before leaving.

Ma Jian didn't want to chat with these people and asked directly what was going on. Meng Jianshu could only explain the whole story.

Hearing about his outrageous move, Ma Jian was stunned. How stupid could this guy be? He knew that Old Wang was related to President Lin, and he still dared to trick him.
Even if you did collaborate with him, it's just a garbage removal project. Ma Jian knows it's the smallest part of the project; anyone with a higher position wouldn't even consider it. Wouldn't all these problems be avoided if you really collaborated with Lao Wang?
So, you know he's a relative, yet you still dare to take advantage of him without wanting to give him anything in return. What a bunch of idiots, hopeless.

After Meng Jianshu finished speaking, tears streamed down his face. He said that the money to buy the car was all the savings they had accumulated over the years, especially for him and Zhang Fei, who weren't even married yet; it was all their "wife-savings," and now it was all gone. Moreover, the car was bought with a loan, and now that they had no projects to work on, they still had to pay off the loan.

If they sell this car, they'll lose all their capital, and it might not even be enough. The key issue is that this capital represents all their savings, and they even borrowed some of it.

Seeing their miserable state, Ma Jian found it hard to empathize. In his opinion, what was there to cry about losing more than a million yuan? He could spend millions in a night of singing if he was happy.

Ah, it seems like a long, long time ago that Ma Jian earned 3000 yuan a month.

"How would you like me to help?"

Before Meng Jianshu could speak, Liu Bo interjected, "President Ma, we hope to persuade President Lin to rescind his ban on us and ensure the contract is fulfilled as scheduled. It would be even better if we could deepen our cooperation. Of course, if you're interested, you can also participate."

Ma Jian waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in your area. Well, I don't think it's very likely that President Lin will lift the ban. The key issue is that you used Lao Wang to set a trap, which is disgusting. I think it's already quite good that President Lin agreed to leave you a project so you can catch your breath."

Liu Bo said, "Mr. Ma, that's why I'm asking for your help. Now that your business is so big, you must have more influence with Mr. Lin than before."

Luffy remained silent, glancing at them, wondering how their leader could have such a bunch of idiot classmates.

Ma Jian said calmly, "You think too highly of me. I rely on President Lin for my livelihood. I'll call her now."

He didn't think too much about it. He figured that the security staff at Junxiao Plaza's second store were probably some distant relative of President Lin. Meng Jianshu and his group had done a really bad job. Now he needed to see how to appease President Lin. He made a phone call to find out if there was any chance to resolve the situation.

Ma Jian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and dialed Lin Ya's number. The group sat on the sofa, barely daring to breathe; their lives depended on this one moment.

The call connected quickly, and Ma Jian said, "Hello, Mr. Lin, is this a convenient time? I have something to report to you."

Although he was Chen Xiao's classmate, he was always very careful in front of his women and maintained sufficient respect.

"Mr. Lin, it's like this, a classmate of mine works in garbage collection and transportation."

Ma Jian's words trailed off, apparently spoken by President Lin on the other end of the phone. The others watched Ma Jian's expression intently, noticing his sudden seriousness before he said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you for your guidance, President Lin."

After the call ended, Ma Jian came over. The group felt uneasy because he hadn't said anything pleading, and hadn't even spoken until the end, just listening to what Boss Lin was saying.

"Mr. Ma, what did Mr. Lin say?"

He sneered, "You lot, just go. I can't save you. You're all asking for death. Good luck."

The men's expressions changed drastically. Meng Jianshu's arm, which was supporting him on his legs, was trembling uncontrollably. If even Ma Jian couldn't help him, then there was absolutely no hope. Luffy was quite surprised. He thought that President Lin should have given President Ma some face in this matter. What was going on?

"Mr. Ma, please think of another way." Meng Jianshu knelt down with a thud. If this matter couldn't be resolved, he would be in a worse situation than Liu Bo and Zhang Fei. The two of them could still make ends meet even if they lost some money, but he was about to be in deep trouble.

He gave a cold laugh. "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You guys are really something, picking on people to mess with. If you have that kind of luck, go buy a lottery ticket. Now get out of here and don't come looking for me again."

The group left dejectedly. After they had gone some distance, Luffy asked curiously, "Boss, what happened? Mr. Lin is usually very easy to talk to."

Ma Jian chuckled, "This guy really knows how to set people up. That Old Wang is Boss Zhao's uncle. He went to Boss Chen's house the day before yesterday to talk about this. You tell me, those guys deserve to die. Who can save them?"

"Holy crap, that's so accurate. You can easily offend royalty. I should definitely buy a lottery ticket."

At the same time, he was also thinking to himself that he should keep a low profile when meeting anyone in Junxiao Group's businesses in the future. Who knows, maybe one day a cleaning lady will be a relative of some imperial concubine. President Chen has too many women and too many relatives and friends.

Jingle bell bell~
This time, Luffy's phone rang. He picked it up, looked at it, and immediately stood up, saying to Ma Jian, "It's Chairman Xu Jun calling."

Xu Jun called to tell him that the presidents of several international brands' China regions had made arrangements for them to come to Jiangzhou in the next few days, and Xu Jun would also return in person.

This is someone who came back to support him. With the chairman of Junxiao Business Management standing up for him, Luffy felt much more at ease.

Chairman's Office, Jincheng Sports Group.

The company secretary stood in front of President Wei and reported, "President Wei, the meeting with the CEOs of several international brands has been postponed for a few days. Their CEOs have important schedules in the next couple of days."

Mr. Wei suddenly had a bad feeling. Important schedules? What a coincidence that CEOs of several different brands had important schedules at the same time.

Do you know the specific itinerary?

"One brand indicated they would be going to Jiangzhou, while the other two brands did not disclose their plans."

Jiangzhou? President Wei frowned. Jiexun Sports couldn't possibly have that kind of influence. Let alone getting these CEOs to meet in Jiangzhou, even if he, Luffy, came to Shanghai, he might not be allowed to enter.

No, no. If Junxiao Group has invested in Jiexun Sports, then the theme of this invitation should be Junxiao Business Management? His expression suddenly changed drastically.

He picked up the phone and dialed several times. Frustrated, he threw the phone on the table, slumped into his executive chair, and waved for his secretary to leave.

As expected, it was Junxiao Commercial Management that made the deal, and it was Xu Jun who personally made the deal. Boss Wei is a brand agent, so he knows very well what these international brands value most. Besides sales volume, they all have some high-end categories that need to be located in the core locations of the most central business districts in first- and second-tier cities.

For many businesses, these brands are absolutely honored guests, or even the kind that cannot be offended. For example, Wansheng Group would not dare to offend these brands easily, because it is impossible for your project to be without these benchmarks, otherwise the category would seem incongruous without leading brands.

Of course, brands would also be even more afraid to offend Wansheng Group, because if they suppress you and support competitors, that would be a very troublesome thing.

This problem is even more serious for Junxiao Commercial Management. When brands compete for market dominance, they value the competition for core commercial areas. Wansheng Group has a relatively large scale of operations, but it cannot be said to have core commercial areas.

For example, in Ningxi, the most core areas are definitely Junxiaocheng and Junwu Plaza. Other projects, even those commercial areas that have now been renamed Junxiao Plaza, are positioned as mid-range shopping centers. These commercial areas where brands are vying for influence hope to get close to high-end luxury brands, even though the high-end luxury brands look down on them.

Who doesn't like to freeload? The weak like to freeload off the strong, and the strong like to freeload off the even stronger.

It can be said that the 16 Junxiao City malls and one Junwu Plaza owned by Junxiao Commercial Management are all places that these brands desperately want to squeeze into, hoping to open a flagship store in a slightly better location, and it would be even better if they could be next to high-end luxury brands.

Moreover, Junxiao Commercial Management also recently acquired the Shanghai Huijin Plaza project, a top-tier commercial complex in China. Even brands in the top tier of the retail industry have to beg and plead for such a project.

Therefore, Junxiao Commercial Management is now considered more important than Wansheng Group in their eyes. Moreover, Junxiao Commercial Management is expanding rapidly, and no brand company wouldn't want to build a good relationship with such a commercial entity. These people are probably already planning to visit Xu Jun. Now that Xu Jun has taken the initiative to invite them, it's exactly what they wanted, and it has been made the most important part of their internal schedule. Compared to it, the chairman of a mere agency company like Jincheng Sports Group carries far less weight.

President Wei suddenly panicked. If Junxiao Group supported Jiexun Sports, Jincheng Sports Group would really be facing an unprecedented enemy. The opponent was not only well-funded, but also had unique advantages in channel resources. Now, if the brand resources were strengthened, how could Jincheng Sports Group compete?

Anxious and at a loss, he had no choice but to wait.

Ma Jian sent a message to Chen Xiao, explaining the situation of Meng Jianshu and the others' recent arrival. Chen Xiao replied with a smiling emoji, clearly aware of the outcome; those people would be subject to some punishment.

This incident wasn't very destructive, but it was quite disgusting. My uncle almost became depressed because of it. Isn't this just bullying an honest person?

Zhang Ziqian then came over and whispered, "Yuting hasn't been in a good mood these past two days."

"Oh? What happened?" "She was promoting the Junxing M7 during her livestreams these past two days, and she got attacked by trolls in the chat. Then, online trolls said she was taking bribes and was falsely promoting the Junxing M7, saying some really nasty things. She was so upset she cried. You—"

She wanted to say, "You don't even care, that's the main reason."

I thought about it and decided to hold back. It's basically impossible to expect this boss to remember to care about anyone. He's a typical heartless type.

"Ziqian, I have to say something to you. You're quite familiar with Yuting, so you should show some concern. First, send 100 Carnival gifts to her live stream to shut down those haters. Then, arrange for the legal department to sue everyone who spreads rumors, slanders, or makes personal attacks. Sue them one by one until they behave themselves."

Chen Xiao was initially fine, but the more he talked, the angrier he got. "If the circumstances are serious enough to warrant criminal charges, then send them in. From now on, this will be the rule. You don't need to ask me for permission. The money for the carnival will come from your daily expenses."

As Chen Xiao's personal assistant, Zhang Ziqian now has a total of 100 million yuan at her disposal, far more than 1 million yuan, enough for her to squander.

"You take the lead in this matter, help Yuting get revenge, and let those people know that the internet is not a lawless place."

Zhang Ziqian said, "Okay, then, whenever I see her being bombarded with trolls in the future, I'll just bombard her with Carnival-themed posts. At the same time, I'll collect evidence against those trolls and sue them all."

Chen Xiao nodded approvingly, "That's right. This way, we not only help Yuting but also punish those unethical people. It's a good deed. Besides, those who slander Yuting are most likely also people who slander Junxing Motors. Let's take them down together."

Xiao Yuting has been feeling irritable lately, and even Zhang Ruier has noticed it.

"Yuting, what's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind lately?"

Zhang Ruier has now become Junxing Motors' official model, so she always goes to events with Xiao Yuting, and the two often connect via live stream.

"Is it because those haters affected your mood? Look at me, my live stream was also attacked. I just ignored them and that was it."

Xiao Yuting shook her head. Those little haters—she was only angry at the time; how could they possibly affect her mood? The only one who could affect her was Chen Xiao. This guy, lately, if she didn't contact him, he wouldn't contact her either. It was infuriating! Did he not care about her at all? Did he give her the Cullinan not because he liked her, but simply because of her wealth? Giving her a multi-million dollar car was like giving an ordinary person a toy?
She was constantly plagued by anxiety and uncertainty, her mind in turmoil. She even wondered if the guy wanted her but hadn't gotten what he wanted yet, and was a little unhappy about it.
But we've already been very cooperative with him in Jiangzhou. We've posed in so many embarrassing positions in his gym. What more does he want?
Just then, I received a message on my phone: "Yuting, when are you coming to Jiangzhou? I'll take you out to sea."

Upon seeing this message, she instantly felt revitalized. He had finally messaged her, and he was still going to take her out to sea for fun.

Zhang Ruier's gaze slid across the rim of the coffee cup, just catching the shadow cast by Xiao Yuting's eyelashes as she lowered her head—that somber color resembled the leaden clouds before a sudden rainstorm outside the window. But when she looked up again, the sudden burst of light in her eyes made even the neon lights outside the French windows pale in comparison, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of stardust into her pupils.

A single message caused such a dramatic change in her, turning her from melancholy to beaming with joy.

"Rui'er, we're going back to Jiangzhou tomorrow."

"What do you mean by 'going back to Jiangzhou'? That's called 'going to Jiangzhou'. We're all from Shanghai."

Oh, okay. Xiao Yuting made a face, almost thinking she was from Jiangzhou.

"Yuting, what's wrong with you? You're healed in a second? You're not even angry about what those haters said anymore?"

"Don't be angry anymore. I've met all kinds of people in all this time of live streaming. Getting angry with them is just making things harder for yourself. Let's eat and drink as usual. Come on, what do you want to eat? It's on me. When we get back tonight, we'll continue streaming and promoting the Junxing M7. Let's make them furious."

Zhang Ruier looked at her suspiciously, "Yu Ting, something's wrong with you. You're not in love, are you?"

Her joking remark unexpectedly made Xiao Yuting stand up abruptly, "Let's go, let's go eat."

Seeing Xiao Yuting's slightly flushed face and her girlish movements without arguing back, Zhang Ruier was dumbfounded. Had her words come true? Was she really in love? And who was her boyfriend?

Many people pursue her, but she hasn't shown any reciprocation to any of the rich young men. Except when she's in Jiangzhou, where she often travels alone, she's mostly with herself. Could her boyfriend be in Jiangzhou?

Zhang Ruier then recalled what she had just said, "I'm going back to Jiangzhou tomorrow." It seemed that her mood had suddenly taken a 180-degree turn ever since she said that.

Jingle bell bell~
Just as Xiao Yuting and Zhang Ruier stepped out of the elevator and were about to go out for dinner, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Zhang Ziqian.

She answered the phone quickly. Xiao Yuting was determined to maintain a good relationship with his chief secretary. Probably no one had spent as much time with Chen Xiao as Zhang Ziqian, and her words could have a significant impact.

Upon hearing the purpose of Zhang Ziqian's call, Xiao Yuting's face once again revealed a long-lost joy.

{It turns out he cared about me. He asked Ziqian to arrange a legal team to focus on the trolls in his live stream room and the haters on various platform accounts. If they were involved in spreading rumors, defamation, or insults, he was to collect the evidence and sue them all.}

It seems he contacted me today thanks to these online trolls; without them, Chen Xiao probably wouldn't have even remembered to ask me out. Trolls, bring on the storm!
"Yuting, what's wrong with you? You've been laughing like an idiot ever since I hung up the phone. I've asked you so many times, but you just won't listen to me."

"Ah, what did you ask me?" Xiao Yuting quickly asked apologetically.

Zhang Ruier rolled her eyes. "I asked you what you wanted to eat out. You're usually such a smart person, but when you're in love, you become completely silly."

Xiao Yuting smiled and grabbed her arm, saying, "Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a big meal at Junxiao City as an apology."

The Junxiaocheng she was referring to was the former Shanghai Huijin Center. There are now three Junxiaocheng complexes in Shanghai, and this one is the most upscale.

The elevator doors slid silently open on the top floor. The moment Xiao Yuting's high heels touched the mica floor, the city lights poured down from the floor-to-ceiling windows like shattered diamonds. Yachts on the river left golden trails, winding like a flowing galaxy beneath their feet.

Xiao Yuting led her to the Cloud Restaurant on the top floor of Huijin Center. As soon as Zhang Ruier's fingertip touched the gilded menu, the intelligent sensing system lit up with a dark blue backlight.

"Wow, Yuting, this restaurant is interesting. When did you sneak over here all by yourself?"

"Hurry up and see what you want to eat."

She certainly wouldn't say that when she was alone in Shanghai, she liked to visit places she and Chen Xiao had been to reminisce. These were places where she and Chen Xiao had shopped together at Chanel and Patek Philippe stores, and even dined there. They spent the most time in these areas during their time in Shanghai, so now she often comes here when she's strolling around alone. Even if she doesn't shop, she'll still browse around Chanel and Patek Philippe.

Zhang Ruier lowered her head to order food, knowing that she still had to go back to her live stream after the meal.

"Xiao Yuting".

As Zhang Ruier was ordering food, she looked up and saw a handsome man who looked to be nearly 30 years old standing to the side, looking at Xiao Yuting with a happy expression.

Xiao Yuting looked at the person in front of her. She remembered him, but not because he was outstanding. Instead, she remembered him from the time at the Patek Philippe store. He first flaunted his wealth, then looked down on Chen Xiao, and finally was intimidated by Chen Xiao's arrogance. He was one of the participants, so she had some impression of him.

As for his name, I've definitely forgotten.

"Are you alone?" Qin Sheng looked at the tableware on the table; clearly, there were only two people there.

Xiao Yuting knew he was referring to Chen Xiao, and Zhang Ruier became unhappy. "Handsome guy, what do you mean? Can't you see me, a grown man?"

Qin Sheng then noticed her, "Zhang Ruier?"

He was a fan of Xiao Yuting, so he was naturally familiar with Zhang Ruier; the two often walked the runway together.

"Ah, I'm a fan of yours too."

This guy is a fan of any beautiful woman; he just idolizes whoever is the prettiest.

Zhang Ruier snorted, ignored him, and continued ordering food. Xiao Yuting also treated him like air.

Qin Sheng was still wary of Chen Xiao. If he were there, Qin Sheng wouldn't dare to linger. Someone who could spend tens of millions to buy a watch in an instant was not someone he could afford to offend.

But since Chen Xiao wasn't here today, he felt like he could do it again.

"I've been seeing a lot of haters attacking you lately in your live streams and on your social media accounts. It's so hateful."

Zhang Ruier looked up at him and thought, "Is he brain-dead? Why bring up such unpleasant things? It's ruining my appetite."

"Don't worry, I'll support you online next time and fight back against those haters."

After handing the menu to the waiter, Zhang Ruier looked like she was about to vomit: "Brother, could you move aside? We're eating. If you want to argue with the haters, watch the live stream." (End of Chapter)
