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

At this moment, the man came to his side and muttered a description of what had happened. Perhaps because he was ashamed, he skipped over the fight with Li Han and being subdued by the bodyguards, and only mentioned He Qing's questioning of the entrance fee.

"Beautiful lady, let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhong. How about I treat you to a meal so we can talk about this over dinner?"

Judging from his expression, Wang Ping knew what he was thinking. She secretly spat at him, thinking he was incredibly arrogant, and said, "What's the point of having a meal with you? You don't even deserve it!"

Manager Zhong's expression immediately turned sour. Beautiful women were attractive, but ignoring them was pointless. So he coldly said, "You can skip the meal, but you must pay the 2 yuan entrance fee. Otherwise, the power will be cut off starting tomorrow."

Upon hearing that the power was going to be cut off, Qin Xiaoyan immediately flew into a rage, "Why should I? I don't owe any electricity bills, what right do you have to cut off my power?"

Manager Zhong said arrogantly, "I'm going to cut off your power. If you're not happy, go ahead and sue me. If you win, I'll restore your power."

Qin Xiaoyan was about to speak again when He Qing interrupted her: "Xiaoyan—", she was immediately paused as if pressed on the pause button, but she still looked at Manager Zhong with eyes full of anger. If he cut off the store, how could she do business?

"This is Manager Zhong, right? Let me say a few points:"
First, the property management company collects property management fees to provide services to the owners; they have no right to charge an entry fee. Second, during the period when the tenant is fulfilling their contractual obligations, you have even less right to cut off water and electricity; otherwise, you should compensate for any economic losses incurred.

Manager Zhong looked at the stunningly beautiful woman and felt a surge of desire. He chuckled and said, "Beautiful lady, you're quite the talker, but you don't know that in this world, it's not just about being reasonable. It's all about strength and power. Whoever has the strongest fist is right."

"Within our property management company's jurisdiction, my word is law. If they don't cooperate, I will not only cut off their water and electricity, but I also guarantee that their shop leases will not be renewed when they expire."

Qin Xiaoyan panicked upon hearing this; she was genuinely a little scared. At this moment, He Qing said calmly, "It's alright, Xiaoyan, what he says doesn't count."

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhong burst into laughter. "Haha, beautiful lady, in my little corner of the world, if you say my word doesn't count, then who does? Is it only the chairman of Huadi Property Group who has the final say?"

He said that on purpose because Zhong Liang, the chairman of Huadi Property, is his uncle, which is why he was so arrogant.

He Qing's face was frosty, her eyes were slightly upturned, the corners of her eyes were as sharp as blades, and her eyes seemed to hold the coldness of a thousand-year-old icy pool.

"His opinion doesn't count, Xiaoyan. Go do your business, it's fine."

Qin Xiaoyan was relieved after hearing He Qing's words. If she said it was nothing, then it was nothing. She could handle any problem, no matter how big.

"Okay, Pingping and I are going back now. I'm a little tired from today's business trip."

"How about I treat you to dinner?"

She waved her hand and said, "No need. If you haven't eaten, you can come back with us and let Auntie cook something."

Zhang Ziqian hired housekeepers for everyone here to cook and do housework. The ingredients are usually provided by Junxiao Hotel Management Group, so they can have whatever they want to eat. Apart from Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, there are no better ingredients than home.

Qin Xiaoyan was genuinely tempted. She definitely couldn't let the opportunity to spend more time with He Qing and the others slip by. Li Han was also thinking the same thing and said, "Xiaoyan, you go ahead. I can handle things at the shop."

There are still staff in the shop, so they can manage. Even if they can't manage, closing the door isn't as important as Qin Xiaoyan having dinner with He Qing.

When Manager Zhong heard He Qing say, "His opinion doesn't count," he and the man from the property management company laughed so hard they almost died. Only then did they recover. Seeing Qin Xiaoyan and He Qing preparing to leave, he called out from behind, "Hey beautiful, do you want to come with me? I'd like to go and familiarize myself with the place."

The words had barely left his mouth when he felt a blur before his eyes and was kicked to the ground by a sweeping leg. Immediately afterwards, a short-haired girl grabbed his neck, rendering him unable to move, and raised her other hand, delivering more than a dozen slaps with both hands, until Manager Zhong passed out.

The other property manager was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, only whispering, "Someone's died, someone's died."

The young girl sneered. She knew exactly what she was doing and had Li Han bring her a bottle of ice water. She massaged Manager Zhong's acupoints a few times, and then poured a bottle of ice water over his head. He slowly woke up, feeling a buzzing in his head and his face feeling like it wasn't his own. He opened his mouth and spat out several teeth with a "pfft".

His eyes were filled with both anger and fear. He never expected that his 185cm height would make him feel like a toy in the hands of this young girl, easily manipulated.

"I'm telling you this to teach you a lesson. If you speak rudely again, I'll cut out your tongue."

Looking into the female bodyguard's eyes, Manager Zhong felt that she could cut off her own tongue and even take her own life within a year. Moreover, from her eyes, he could tell that she really dared to do it, and it might only take one order.

He Qing and Wang Ping led Qin Xiaoyan across the road, got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and headed towards Jindi Xiushan Yin.

Manager Zhong was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. The property manager helped him up. No one noticed the Rolls-Royce Phantom convoy; otherwise, the two of them would probably have been even more terrified.

The short-haired female bodyguard had been gone for a while, and Manager Zhong had calmed down a bit. Now, he directed all his anger at the milk tea shop, coldly saying, "I might not be as good as you in other places. But at Huadi Property Management Company, what I say goes. Let's see what you can do about it. Send the notice down: start cutting off their electricity tomorrow. The entry fee isn't 2 anymore; raise it to 5. No money, no electricity. Wait for them to sue. We'll restore electricity only after the lawsuit is over. I'll make sure they're ruined."

“The manager is right. We may not be as strong as them in terms of brute force, but do you think we can let them bully us on our own little piece of land? I’ll cut off their electricity when I come to work tomorrow.”

Manager Zhong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, spat, and another tooth flew out.

"Damn it, we lost out big time. Getting dental work done costs a lot of money. We're asking them for 5 yuan, and we won't argue with them for a penny less."

Upon entering He Qing's house, Qin Xiaoyan looked around at the luxurious decor. Knowing He Qing's current status, she wasn't surprised by any of it. She sat down on the sofa, while He Qing went to instruct the housekeeper to cook. Wang Ping sat down next to Qin Xiaoyan and said, "Xiaoyan, it's alright. He Qing will cover for you. What are you worried about with a small property management company? Besides, the landlord didn't ask for that money. It's just that the property management company is trying to extort you because they see your business is doing well."

Qin Xiaoyan didn't know why Wang Ping was so certain the landlord wasn't asking for the money, but she agreed with Wang Ping's point of view. If the landlord wanted this entry fee, they should have mentioned it before the contract was signed. Why would they ask for an extra 2 yuan after the contract was signed, just because the business was doing well? Those storefronts were quite valuable; the landlord must be very wealthy and wouldn't do something so unethical for 2 yuan.

He Qing went inside and changed into a set of home clothes. She let her hair down, and her long, loose hair added a touch of charm. She was already beautiful and sexy, and Chen Xiao had taken such good care of her that she became even more beautiful. Even Qin Xiaoyan, as a woman, was a little tempted by her.

"Xiaoyan, you're in for a treat today. Auntie just told me that some blood bird's nest from Huaiji was delivered. It's the first batch of bird's nest from the rainy season. This is made by swiftlets building their nests with their own blood and saliva. After stewing, it turns agate-colored and is a top-quality tonic."

Qin Xiaoyan guessed that the delivery from the other side she mentioned was only arranged by President Chen, which showed that He Qing was truly favored there.

Wang Ping loved researching the nutritional value of these ingredients. As soon as He Qing finished speaking, she started searching on Baidu. And what she found made her scream, "My God—!"

This pair of bird's nests costs over ten thousand yuan. Aren't we living too decadently?

Qin Xiaoyan quickly leaned over and saw the Baidu search results Wang Ping had found, an introduction to Huaiji blood bird's nest and the price of the top-grade bird's nest. She was stunned. She knew He Qing had a good standard of living, but to this extent was too exaggerated. Compared to He Qing, she felt that her own life was simply inhuman.

But when she calmed down and thought about it, she already had a monthly income of tens of thousands. Soon, when Jun Xiaocheng opened the franchise store he got from Jiexun Sports, her monthly income might be hundreds of thousands, which was already the ceiling in the eyes of many ordinary people. But who would have thought that even hundreds of thousands was just one dish in He Qing's dinner?

"Ignore Pingping, she just likes to make a fuss. Just treat it as ordinary bird's nest."

Wang Ping stuck out her tongue. "What she said isn't wrong. Spending millions on a single meal is nothing new to her. By the way, a few days ago, President Chen had someone send her some good red wine. We'll try some later. It seems like this one is all 82 Lafite. President Chen also sent her a message saying that red wine is good for beauty, and that she can boil it every day to evaporate the alcohol before drinking it."

Qin Xiaoyan was dumbfounded. What was President Chen thinking? A bottle of 82 Lafite is worth 10 yuan, right? Asking her to distill the alcohol and drink it is a waste of resources.
Then Wang Ping continued, "Don't be so surprised. It's possible that He Qing might take a bath with an 82 Lafite one day. President Chen also gave her a case of 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon so that she can taste this wine whenever she wants."

1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon? What kind of wine is this? The most famous one Qin Xiaoyan usually hears about is the 82 Lafite, which is already incredibly expensive, costing 10 yuan per bottle.

She silently searched on Baidu, and then her eyes were glued to the phone screen. What did she see?
$50/6-liter bottle, the king of Napa Valley cult wines, which received 99 points from Robert Parker in its first vintage, with extremely low production (500 cases per year), and rich blackberry and blackcurrant flavors.

Good heavens, is this meant to be drunk? This is meant to be kept as a collector's item, how can anyone bring themselves to drink something this expensive?

He Qing smiled slightly, feeling sweet inside. Chen Xiao still doted on her, sending her all sorts of good things. This sentiment was more intoxicating than any wine.

Since she hadn't come to the company today, He Qing asked Wang Ping to chat with Qin Xiaoyan for a while while she reviewed and approved some OA (Office Automation) documents on her phone. After reviewing a few documents, she suddenly saw an approval document titled "Approval of Cooperation Conditions between the Hope Primary School Project and Huadi Property Group".

Huadi Property? He Qing took another look at the name, confirming it was correct. She checked the initiator; it was indeed the project office that had submitted it. Without hesitation, she gave her approval opinion: Disagree, find another partner.

What a coincidence! This property management company actually found the Junxiao Charity Foundation's project office; they're really unlucky. I was originally planning to wait until he actually cut off Qin Xiaoyan's electricity tomorrow, then call Ding Yong and have him terminate the cooperation with this property management company.

Many of the construction projects of Junxiao Charity Foundation are now handled by Ding Yong's side. He is a real estate boss with many construction contractor clients. So when Gao Yue introduced him to this project, He Qing accepted it. Li Man and Ding Yong personally went to Yunfeng Building to give He Qing a detailed report.

Thinking of the respectful chairman of Gemdale Group, He Qing knew that terminating his cooperation with Huadi Property would only take a phone call. Now she just had to see if the property company would act so recklessly tomorrow morning, actually extorting merchants in the name of the landlord. This kind of property company had no moral bottom line. How could she feel at ease cooperating with such a company?

All the projects she invests in are for charitable purposes. She leaves a huge profit margin for all the merchants she partners with, so that these service organizations can provide the greatest possible help to the children in need. If she were to partner with a company like Huadi Property, wouldn't those poor children be bullied to death?

I'm a little unhappy. The project office submitted such an important strategic partner, didn't they do any due diligence? Luckily, I encountered this company doing something bad today, otherwise, wouldn't they have infiltrated the company? Even if they were removed later if problems arose, those poor kids would have suffered so much from their misdeeds.

Bailu Villa, a well-known restaurant in Jiangzhou, is usually the venue for important banquets. Since Li Xiao got involved with Xu Wu, it has almost become her private canteen. For gatherings in her circle and for brokers who ask her to help them find connections, the meals have to be of a certain class. After all, those who know her know that President Li is a person with great influence and connections.

The guest of honor today is Zhong Liang, the chairman of Huadi Property Group. Huadi Property Group started out by relying on Gemdale Group. Ding Yong's real estate projects were basically undertaken by Huadi Property, which earned Zhong Liang his first pot of gold.

Some time ago, Zhong Liang had dinner with Ding Yong's construction contractor boss and learned that Ding Yong was leading a cooperation with the Junxiao Charity Foundation to undertake the construction of the Junxiao Charity Foundation's projects. At first, he didn't take it seriously, but when he learned that there were at least several hundred projects every year, Zhong Liang was shocked. After making some inquiries, he heard that the Junxiao Charity Foundation invested 50 billion yuan every year. My God—what a huge pie that is.

He started out in the property management business, and the Junxiao Charity Foundation's projects also need property management companies. If he could take over that part, it would be such a lucrative piece of cake.

Upon learning that Ding Yong had a connection with the Junxiao Charity Foundation, they immediately went to Ding Yong's door to ask for his help. As old friends and business partners for many years, Ding Yong, being a righteous person, agreed.

He originally wanted to ask Gao Yue to put in a good word for him, since he wasn't very familiar with President He. It was already quite generous of her to give him a project to do, and it might not be appropriate for him to ask her for another project now. But then he thought, wouldn't he face the same problem if he asked President Gao?

If I tell Gao Yue that I did it myself, she should help. But if I say that I introduced it to someone else and then ask Gao Yue to do me a favor, it seems a bit much. Although she was my employee back then, things are different now. She is now the chairperson of a company worth hundreds of billions, and she is also that person's woman. This kind of favor is one less that can be used, so I must use it carefully and only at crucial times.

Just then, he remembered that Gao's former best friend, Li Xiao, seemed to be the deputy director of the project department at the Junxiao Charity Foundation, and all the cooperative business was initiated from the project department. It was just right to contact her, without having to use such a big favor from Gao.

So Ding Yong called Li Xiao and asked Zhong Liang to go to Yunfeng Building to report to Li Xiao on the company's strength, past performance, and various awards it had received.

Ding Yong wasn't clear on the specifics of the discussion, but Li Xiao ultimately agreed, saying that their project team would submit an application, and she had already spoken with the project director, who would approve it. Her words implied that the matter was practically settled. In Li Xiao's view, the Junxiao Charity Foundation was simply a money-spending organization; where the money was spent didn't matter. Since the project director had already approved it, President He shouldn't hold it back.

Under normal circumstances, He Qing shouldn't have blocked it. She trusted the project department, especially the current director. But everything was too coincidental. This afternoon's incident served as a wake-up call for He Qing. In the future, she would need to add a few more people to the project approval process and conduct strict due diligence on partner companies.

In the private room, Zhong Liang, with a fawning expression, thanked Ding Yong profusely: "Mr. Ding, I've been supported by you since I started my business, and this time you've helped me with such a big project. I really don't know how to thank you enough. I was thinking, how about giving you and that Mr. Li each 10% of the shares? What do you think?"

Ding Yong smiled and said, "I don't need to. You two can talk it over, Mr. Li. I won't get involved."

The property management projects for Hope Primary Schools are so small, how can they compare to the profits from his construction contracting business? Boss He always gives him a generous profit margin, and she has nearly 500 primary schools and other charitable projects to build every year, which is enough for Ding Yong to make a fortune.

As for his offer to give Li Xiao shares, Ding Yong pretended not to know, unable to agree or refuse on her behalf. He was there today because Zhong Liang had asked him to make a good impression.

In fact, Ding Yong didn't think he could hold his own in front of Li Xiao. Li Xiao was Xu Wu's classmate, and Li Xiao had seen it all. The current strength of Junxiao Group was enough to make Ding Yong look up to her with his neck bent in awe.

His only consolation was that he had treated Gao Yue well in the past, and that former subordinate still remembered their old friendship and helped him with some good projects. Another reason was his old friend Li Guoqiang. While Li Guoqiang might have seemed insignificant to him before, he had known Mr. Chen for a long time and was one of the very few people in Mr. Chen's circle. He occasionally put in a good word for him with Mr. Chen, which allowed his business to flourish.

It was precisely because Li Guoqiang's generous help when he was in trouble that allowed him to start anew, so Ding Yong is now very willing to help others.

"Brother Yong, I heard last time that the Junxiao Charity Foundation builds at least 500 large Hope Primary Schools every year. Is that true?"

Ding Yong nodded. "I heard from General Manager Gao that their budget is sufficient. If it's not enough, the group will provide more. I just don't know if the project department can submit that many projects in a year."

Zhong Liang's eyes darted around, and he laughed, "Doesn't this mean you have so much money you can't spend it all? You're not afraid of not having enough money, you're just afraid of not having enough projects."

He noticed that Ding Yong's cup was almost empty, so he quickly got up to refill it.

“What you said makes sense. After all, it’s newly established, and the project office doesn’t have many people. The Junxiao Charity Foundation is only well-known in Hanjiang Province right now. People outside the province may not know about it yet. As its reach expands, I estimate that it will have at least 500 projects every year.”

Zhong Liang sat down, handed a cigarette to Ding Yong, and lit it for him: "Then the President Li who came today has too much power. Billions of yuan are spent through her, and she approves everything."

He suddenly had many ideas. Perhaps in the future, it wouldn't just be property management companies that could be partnered with, but other businesses could also be done. Even if he didn't do it himself, he could find others to cooperate with, and it would be great if he could use his connections to secure a share of the business.

Junxiao Group is rich and pays money readily; it's a waste not to make this money.

Ding Yong nodded. "I'm telling you this in private, you understand. Many people give President Li face outside, and her greatest strength doesn't lie in being the deputy director of this project or the soon-to-be director."

Zhong Liang's heart skipped a beat. "Brother Yong, could you tell me more about it?" When he went to the Junxiao Charity Foundation to see that General Manager Li last time, he noticed that she seemed to have some backing, because the director gave her a lot of face. At first, he thought it was because the director was about to be transferred and she was about to take over. But after hearing what Ding Yong said, there must be another reason. That General Manager Li is probably not simple.

He picked up his cup, took a sip of water, glanced at the time, and thought that President Li should be arriving soon. He said in a low voice, "She is a classmate of President Xu, CEO of Junxiao Group, and also a classmate of President Gao, Chairman of Junxiao Hotel Management Group."

Hiss~ Zhong Liang's fingertips unconsciously dug into his palm, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, even the old knife scar on his neck felt hot. (End of this chapter)
