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

Chen Xiao looked down at Zhao Xiangjun in his arms. She had already closed her eyes and was making a wish. He gently rested his chin on her black hair, which smelled of jasmine.

"What did you wish for?" Chen Xiao asked with a smile when she opened her eyes.

Her fingertips lightly twirled a strand of her dark hair. Suddenly, she smiled, her eyes sparkling as if stars had fallen into a deep pool: "I won't tell you—"

In the blink of an eye, a mischievous glint appeared in her amber pupils, like shattered moonlight falling into a jar of honey.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but kiss her forehead and pull her into his arms: "You naughty girl, you knew I couldn't do anything to you, right?"

"That's right, that's right, what can you do?" Her aloof personality only became playful like a child in front of Chen Xiao.

He held her tightly, and had to admit that almost all of his doting affection was reserved for Zhao Xiangjun.

Zhao Xiangjun was still looking in the direction where the shooting star had disappeared. She wouldn't tell Chen Xiao that her wish was so old-fashioned—"May my grandma be well, may Chen Xiao be well, may he always be well—!!"

The two people, embracing tightly, remained silent, savoring this sweet moment that belonged only to them. Zhao Xiangjun, gazing at the Milky Way in the night sky, suddenly thought of a line: "A smile before we even met, a promise of life made at our first encounter."

Wang Ping now lives almost every day at He Qing's place, while He Qing's 130-square-meter apartment remains empty despite the monthly mortgage payments.

The difference between her and He Qing wasn't just in the size of their apartments; the decor and furniture were several levels below each other. Most importantly, He Qing's place was practically a presidential suite, with the finest food and drinks. And most importantly, she was waiting for Chen Xiao to come to her.

Early in the morning, I went downstairs with He Qing. In the underground garage, the Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood of the Rolls-Royce Phantom gleamed with a metallic sheen under the cold light. The car's lines were sharp and angular, and the paint, reflecting the overhead lights, looked like it was coated with a layer of ethereal blue ice.

The driver, dressed in a black uniform, stood ramrod straight beside the car, his hands clasped in front of him, his gaze lowered, as if even his breathing was deliberately subdued. The entire garage was so quiet that the hum of the central air conditioning could be heard, with only the occasional idling sound of the Rolls-Royce V12 engine, a deep, rumbling sound like the panting of a beast lying in wait.

Wang Ping, who was using He Qing's influence, also appeared to have a strong presence. The driver had already opened the car door for them. After they got in, He Qing said to Wang Ping, "Check on Xiao Yan's shop this morning. If Manager Zhong from the property management is still causing trouble, tell me immediately and I'll call Ding Yong."

Wang Ping knew that Ding Yong was the boss of Gemdale Group, a big shot she had never been able to get close to before. Now, when she came to the company to report to He Qing, she was always trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice. Her cautious manner was much more nervous than that of ministers meeting empresses in TV dramas.

He grunted in agreement, thinking to himself that the clown from the property management probably didn't know who he had offended, yet he still dared to laugh arrogantly.

Putting aside He Qing's current identity, the fact that she owns those few shops is enough to give the property management a hard time. Collecting entry fees behind the landlord's back is clearly a way to line their own pockets.

Li Xiao walked into Yunfeng Building with a beaming smile, encountering employees from several companies along the way.

"Mr. Li." "Good morning, Mr. Li."

Almost everyone in the company knew that this beautiful young woman was about to take over as the director of the project department. She and Wang Ping from the finance department were currently two of the most sought-after figures; both were equally young and beautiful, yet about to become directors—truly winners in life. Therefore, wherever they went, they were met with a chorus of congratulations.

Li Xiao raised her fair neck and nodded arrogantly. These commoners were not in the same social class as her. She was going to be on par with Gao Yue in the future. Just look at how the front-line employees of Junxiao Hotel Management Group reacted when they met Gao Yue. Li Xiao felt that it wasn't enough for these people to just flatter her; they should also show fear to be worthy of her status.

Thinking back to the chairman of Huadi Property yesterday, a wealthy man, he was like a lapdog in front of me. Hmph, Li Xiao finally understood his meaning: he wanted to be my front man, asking me to help him get some business from Junxiao Group. He would handle the operations, and I would get 30% of the profits. That wasn't bad, as long as the quality of his work wasn't bad. Junxiao Group's orders already left a considerable profit margin for suppliers.

Putting everything else aside, the Junxiao Charity Foundation guarantees a profit for any supplier it can get its hands on. She thought of President Han because of Zhong Liang. She heard that President He personally ordered all the canteen projects to be done for him, and the meal subsidies were directly subsidized by the Junxiao Charity Foundation. It's like President Han opened a canteen and the Junxiao Charity Foundation just paid for it. He didn't need to advance any funds himself. Opening a canteen by collecting money in advance, she wondered if it was his own idea.

Li Xiao saw Han's ID card in the agreement signed by both parties. It was from Yucheng, which meant that he was from He's hometown. She didn't believe there was no business involved. She guessed that Han was He Qing's front man.

{Sigh, the position of head of the Junxiao Charity Foundation is even more comfortable than Gao Yue's. Gao Yue has to bear the operational KPIs and think about expanding the business, she's busy all day long. He Qing, on the other hand, only needs to be responsible for spending money. It's a job even a god wouldn't trade. What a pity, what a pity, that I missed out on it.}
{Yes, Gao Yue is back today. I'll go to Junxiao Lakeside CBD to see her and see if I can create some opportunities.}
The elevator arrived, and the people on both sides quickly made way for Ms. Li to get off first. She swayed her slender waist and strode arrogantly to her desk, turning on her computer while thinking, "Next month I'll finally have my own office space. I've finally made it to this day."

Looking up outside, Li Xiao saw President He and Wang Ping passing by the door. He Qing, dressed in a stunning black "Starry Night" suit, looked absolutely gorgeous. Li Xiao had learned from Gao Yue that He Qing's clothes were all custom-made by renowned designers, and she also knew that He Qing's watch was worth millions. She had known Chen Xiao for much longer than she had, yet now she was in this state...sigh...

He Qing is here. The approval and signing should be done soon. Let's see in a bit; maybe we can notify Zhong Liang to come and sign the cooperation agreement today.
Thinking of this, I logged into the OA system, clicked on the progress of the approval document, and immediately froze—

She actually rejected it! Why did she reject it? What were her reasons for rejecting it?
Li Xiao was furious, but she didn't dare to confront He Qing or ask why. But what would happen to her cooperation with Zhong Liang if she did that?
Putting aside the 30% profit, the promise made to Zhong Liang yesterday failed to materialize today—isn't that a slap in the face? He even boasted about his relationship with Xu Wu in front of Ding Yong, and dared to joke with Chen Xiao. Yet today, this project, so insignificant and trivial to the Junxiao Charity Foundation—it doesn't matter who does it, as long as the quality is guaranteed and the price is according to company standards—was rejected by He Qing, who has never rejected a case before.

Li Xiao's face turned pale with anger, and she strode to the project director's office.

Director Liu was seconded from Junxiao Group to provide support and will be transferred back soon. He also knows that Vice President Li is a classmate of General Manager Xu Wu, so during his work, as long as it does not violate principles, he basically follows Li Xiao's lead and has never treated her as a subordinate.

Of course, Li Xiao didn't treat him as a leader. He knocked on the door and entered Director Liu's office.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat."

"Mr. Liu, there's something I think you should report to Mr. He. A few days ago, the project office submitted a case for our foundation to cooperate with Huadi Property Group. The other party meets our company's standards in terms of both company strength and past performance, and the cooperation terms also strictly adhere to the company's standards."

Director Liu nodded and said, "I know about this case. I approved it yesterday afternoon and it's already been sent to Director He."

Li Xiao spread his hands, "But President He rejected it. I think you should talk to her. After all, we've spent a lot of time negotiating this project. If we change to another property management company, we'll have to start all over again."

Director Liu narrowed his small eyes and gave her a deep look.

"Does this Vice President Li think he's stupid? I'm not holding a grudge against you at work because I'm about to be transferred, and you're President Xu's person, so I can't afford to offend you. But compared to you, I dare not offend President He even more. She's the head of a business unit at Junxiao Group, and she's a beautiful young woman who just graduated from university. You want me to offend someone like that? Are you asking me to die?"

Even if I offend you, Mr. Li, and you're unhappy with me, at most you'll say a few bad things about me to Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu isn't the kind of person who listens to only one side. If I, however, disregard the rules and anger Mr. He, I'm afraid I could be packing my bags and leaving today; not a single person in the entire company would plead for me.
"Mr. Li, since Ms. He has rejected it, she must have her reasons. Let's not ask any more questions and find another property management company."

Director Liu's tone turned cold, the temperature seemingly dropping 50 degrees compared to his previous enthusiasm. Li Xiao stood up resentfully, angrily saying, "Director Liu, don't we have any principles at all? We just blindly follow what Director He says? She makes mistakes too, what if she does something that harms the company's interests?"

With a faint smile, Director Liu said quietly, "That's her right. Even if it harms the company's interests, it's not up to us to question it."

Li Xiao snorted and stormed out. She hadn't expected that Director Liu wouldn't fall for her trick. She had tried to use Director Liu as a pawn, but little did she know that he was a man of many talents and experience. Anyone who could get by in headquarters would have high emotional intelligence.

She naturally didn't dare to go to He Qing, but a thought crossed her mind.

"Didn't we make an appointment with Gao Yue today? Why not ask her for help? I'm sure He Qing will give her face. And if we happen to run into Chen Xiao today, and if we can get him to do something with us, would He Qing dare refuse?"

Yes, the key to solving the problem is on the 58th floor of Junxiao Lakeside CBD. I'm going there now.
When Gao Yue received Li Xiao's message, Chen Xiao had already picked her up in his arms. This bold and beautiful girl not only gave him a lot of joyful moments, but she was also like a female warrior in her career, conquering cities and making many achievements beyond his imagination. Today, he should reward her well.

hum~
Li Xiao's message came at this time. Gao Yue picked it up and glanced at it. Before she could even think about it, she knew that once Chen Xiao took her inside, she wouldn't be able to get out until noon. It wouldn't be appropriate to ask her to wait in her office, so she sent a message to ask her to go directly to the 58th floor and have Zi Qian pick her up and wait for her on the 58th floor. She could also chat with Ma Jing and Zi Qian for a while.

Little did she know, this was exactly what Li Xiao wanted. Being able to go directly to President Chen's office, regardless of whether there would be any chance to have a story with President Chen, as long as there was time to talk to President Chen, there would be a chance to plead for her on this matter. If he gave the word, He Qing would definitely have to obey.

In Zhang Ziqian's office, Ma Jing tugged at her arm. She immediately understood; this girl had been led astray and wanted to open the hidden door for a glimpse. She dared to stand there openly looking at Han Xue, but she didn't dare to do so with Gao Yue, since they weren't that close, and she was afraid President Gao would be angry.

"Watch it now if you want, because I'm going to pick someone up in a bit, and it won't be convenient for me to watch it when I get back."

"Wow, does Mr. Gao practice the splits usually? His legs can be split so straight, they're practically in a line."

"Yeah, that's true. And Mr. Gao's butt is quite nice, especially when he's lying down, it looks like a round pumpkin." "Ma Jing, what's wrong with your eyes? Where do you find such a white, shiny pumpkin?"

"Oh my, this is an eyesore—how could President Chen be so mean? He's holding President Gao by one leg, and she can only put weight on one leg. It must be so tiring."

"Hmph, Ziqian, everything you see today will be replicated in you in the future."

Zhang Ziqian closed the hidden compartment, and Ma Jing slapped her: "What are you doing? I was really enjoying watching it."

“Li Xiao is here, I’m going to pick her up. What’s so interesting about that? I experience it firsthand every day.”

Ma Jing shook her head and whispered, "You don't understand. Learning by observation is much closer to real combat than what you see in movies."

Zhang Ziqian's eyes widened in shock: "No way, Ma Jing, you watch that kind of stuff?"

He pushed her outside, saying, "Go pick them up quickly. I'll watch for a while longer. You'll understand in the future. The more you learn, the better you'll be able to cooperate with Brother Chen Xiao in close combat."

"Be careful, don't be still looking when Li Xiao comes. She's President Gao's classmate."

Ma Jing didn't even turn her head, just waved to her to let her know she understood. Zhang Ziqian was so worried that she didn't even have time to turn around. How could she be trusted?

Li Xiao waited in the lobby on the first floor. Without Zhang Ziqian's help, she couldn't get to the 58th floor. Chen Xiao's women had all been registered and could go up directly, but outsiders, including people like Xu Jun, had to be accompanied by Zhang Ziqian or Ma Jing.

While waiting for Zhang Ziqian, she thought about Gao Yue's news. Gao Yue told her to go up to the 58th floor and then told her to wait for her in Zhang Ziqian's office for several hours. That meant two things: First, she was on the 58th floor and with Chen Xiao; second, what could make her take several hours? If Li Xiao hadn't personally measured the time, she wouldn't have thought of that.

Now, she was certain that Gao Yue was being severely punished by Chen Xiao. Thinking of this, the scene of Chen Xiao's frenzied advance that she had seen last time flashed through her mind, and her body suddenly felt weak and hot.

She had seen Zhang Ziqian once before from a distance on the 58th floor, but her mind was elsewhere, so she didn't see her clearly and didn't remember what she looked like. When she saw a beautiful woman with a stoic face coming down from the elevator, she subconsciously thought it was the "Milk Tea Sister," but she quickly realized that she wasn't that age-gap, only that her face was too similar and her figure seemed better.

"Is it Mr. Li?"

Li Xiao was certain; this was Zhang Ziqian.

"Ziqian, hello."

As Li Xiao followed Zhang Ziqian into the elevator, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although she was considered an 85 out of 100 beauty, she was still inferior to Zhang Ziqian. Chen Xiao was used to seeing beautiful women and was probably immune to someone like her. Thinking back to yesterday afternoon when her initiative was rejected, she felt extremely frustrated.

{Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Men never have too many women. They're not looking for more beautiful women; they'll just go for any pretty one. They crave novelty.}
She encouraged herself, then smiled at Zhang Ziqian, "Is President Chen here today too?"

Zhang Ziqian smiled and nodded. "Yes, I was with President Gao."

This was a hint that there was no need to hide the relationship between President Gao and President Chen; they could stroll around together and hold hands without any attempt to conceal it from others.

Li Xiao muttered to himself, "This little assistant knows quite a lot. Well, as Chen Xiao's assistant, what can be kept from her?"

"President Li, please wait in my office for a while. It should be about two hours." She deliberately spoke loudly outside, intending to remind Ma Jing inside to hurry up and come out. However, when she entered the office, she found that Ma Jing was still hiding in the lounge. She didn't know if Ma Jing thought that she couldn't be seen from the outside and wasn't afraid of being discovered by Li Xiao, or if she was just too engrossed in watching.

She gestured for Li Xiao to sit down and went to make tea.

Li Xiao surveyed the office layout and was secretly amazed—an assistant's office was much more luxurious than many presidents' offices, and it even had a lounge. This was too extravagant.

He took the tea brewed by Zhang Ziqian and his eyes narrowed. Wasn't this the premium Houkui tea that Gao Yue usually drank? It was much more expensive than the top-grade Lion Peak Longjing tea that he had taken with him. He didn't expect that even an assistant would be drinking this tea.

She had initially been polite to Chen Xiao's assistant, but hadn't taken her seriously. After all, Zhang Ziqian was Xu Wu and Gao Yue's classmate, and she felt her importance far surpassed that of an assistant. Moreover, as someone with experience, she could tell at a glance that Zhang Ziqian was probably still a virgin and didn't seem like Chen Xiao's woman, so she was even less worthy of attention. However, judging from Zhang Ziqian's office environment and the things she used, she was clearly not someone ordinary, and her attitude towards Zhang Ziqian suddenly became one of awe and respect.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat for a moment. I need to take care of some work."

"Please go ahead," Li Xiao said politely, bowing slightly.

Zhang Ziqian walked behind her desk and summarized the information from the various business units. General Manager Gao arrived too early this morning, and several people were chatting with General Manager Chen, so the daily routine report on important matters was skipped today.

She didn't know if she would listen after Mr. Chen finished his work, but as his assistant, she had to take care of everything in case of emergency. She had to consider every possible possibility that Mr. Chen might consider.

Ma Jing was truly engrossed in watching. She realized that President Gao was indeed as knowledgeable as she was. No wonder Chen Xiao hadn't returned to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group for several weeks recently; he was having such a good time here that he didn't want to leave.

This was just Gao Zong; there was also Han Xue and Lin Ya Zong—each with their own unique skills and characteristics. Ma Jing suddenly felt like the most insignificant one among them. Luckily, Chen Xiao Ge remembered their past relationship; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have been able to compete in terms of skill. Whether it was looks or talent, she was at the bottom. Seeing Gao Zong's difficult moves today, she felt she really needed to buy more movies and learn from them.

Jingle bell bell~
Zhang Ziqian's phone rang, and Li Xiao listened intently while sipping her tea. She was extremely interested in this power center of Junxiao Group and also wanted to know how Chen Xiao's assistant usually worked.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

Li Xiao was startled, thinking it was Xu Wu. Then she realized that Xu Wu wouldn't call Zhang Ziqian. What was her relationship with Chen Xiao that she needed to go through an assistant? Then who was this other CEO Xu? Was it Xu Jun, chairman of Junxiao Commercial Management, or Xu Gang, chairman of Junxing Automobile? Both of them were big shots, especially the former.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, I understand. I'll report to Mr. Chen when he's done with his work."

After hanging up the phone, she continued working. That simple phone call made Li Xiao incredibly envious; Zhang Ziqian usually dealt with bosses of various business entities—her job was truly impressive.

Just then, Li Xiao heard Zhang Ziqian make an internal call to arrange lunch. A surge of joy filled him; it seemed he was going to be invited to lunch today. Not just anyone was qualified to enter President Chen's restaurant; he wondered what delicious food awaited them.

Just then, Li Xiao heard Zhang Ziqian asking what good ingredients were available today. Hearing this, he became even more excited. He could brag about Huaiji bird's nest for half a year after seeing it last time, and today he could gather some more bragging material.

Then Zhang Ziqian said, "Wild yellow croaker, right? Okay."

Li Xiao quickly searched on Baidu and was shocked to find that the dish cost 3 yuan per kilogram, meaning that this dish would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to eat today.

"Do you have yellow croaker (fish maw)? Sure, I'll arrange it."

Li Xiao did another search and almost fainted. He could brag about this for the rest of his life. The Baidu search results showed that fish maw (fish bladder) was auctioned for 30 yuan per gram, and a whole fish had been auctioned for 200 million yuan per piece.

"Well, the chef team can handle the rest. Oden Rouge Rice is fine. There will be five of us for lunch today."

Li Xiao continued his research—dark red rice grains, extremely nutritious, 4000 yuan per jin (500g). (End of Chapter)
