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

"Shanshan, Wang Ping said you were outside, so the two of us came out to meet you."

Half a day had passed, and Li Shanshan still hadn't recovered from the shock. Wang Ping pulled her to sit down beside her, took a bottle of champagne, and smiled at the stunned Li Shanshan, saying, "You're usually quite clever, what's wrong with you today?"

She was asking a question she already knew the answer to. When she first learned Chen Xiao's true identity, she wasn't much better off than Li Shanshan is now.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Li Shanshan recovered somewhat and said, "You asked me what happened, shouldn't I be asking you what happened? How did you get into this floor?"

Wang Ping pointed at He Qing, "She's benefiting from her fame; this yacht belongs to her man."

The wine glass in her hand suddenly tilted, nearly spilling onto her silk dress. She hurriedly straightened the glass, but her fingertips trembled uncontrollably, and the bottom of the glass collided with the saucer with a crisp "clink".

Li Shanshan's smile froze on her face, her pupils dilated slightly, and her lips trembled unconsciously, as if struck by an invisible lightning bolt. Her gaze mechanically shifted from Wang Ping's face to He Qing, then slowly swept over the champagne tower held by the waiter. Her throat bobbed, but she couldn't utter a sound immediately.

"He Qing's...man?" This realization struck her like a hammer blow. The He Qing she remembered, quietly smiling in her simple school uniform at a class reunion, was now a world apart from the "floating palace" worth hundreds of millions before her. She suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat, as if someone had sucked all the oxygen out of the yacht.

No wonder Wang Ping looked down on Gao Lei. Compared to that President Chen, what was Gao Lei? She never expected that he was He Qing's man.

"He Qing, Wang Ping, does that mean my job will be very stable?" Li Shanshan adjusted quickly and immediately realized that her position was not just due to Wang Ping's greeting, but mainly because of He Qing.

Now that He Qing is the owner of this yacht, wouldn't my job be a secure job? No, it's a diamond-encrusted gold job.

Before He Qing could speak, Wang Ping laughed and said, "We just need to cling to He Qing's coattails. If we lose our jobs here, we can go work at the Junxiao Charity Foundation."

Hmm? Li Shanshan understood the meaning behind her words.

He Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's alright."

Upon hearing Wang Ping's introduction that He Qing was now the head of the Junxiao Charity Foundation, she was completely stunned. "I...I really didn't expect this..."

She manages such a large fund, and her annual task is to spend 50 billion. Even the president of a small country wouldn't trade this job for her. She treats spending money as her job. That President Chen really spoils He Qing.

A moment later, Li Shanshan became excited again, "My God, I have such an awesome classmate, can't I just walk around with my head held high from now on?"

Wang Ping chuckled and said, "He Qing can't protect you. The Chen family's motto has always been—'I won't offend others unless they offend me.'"

The online discussion about which brand of new energy vehicle Yang Mi will ultimately choose is becoming increasingly heated.

During a live stream on the R&D brand's KOC "Abstract Live Car Talk," it was mentioned that Yang Mi was seen at the R&D brand 4S store in Jiangzhou Auto City. It's quite obvious that Yang Mi's choice this time is most likely the R&D brand.

Naturally, a group of people criticized him below:

"It's getting abstract again. Da Mimi said she'll pick up the car today. If it were the Ruishi brand, there would have been a delivery ceremony by now. Has your store made any moves?"

"This 'abstract' is practically a liability for Huadi Auto, squandering all the goodwill Huadi Auto has left. All he does online is brag and spread rumors to smear competitors. If Huadi doesn't cut ties with this kind of person, the brand will lose all its goodwill to the general public."

"Not long ago in Jiangzhou, he was slapped in the face, but he didn't care anyway; that person should have slapped his mouth to shut him up forever."

What annoys "Abstract" the most right now is having this matter brought up. Now that he's back in Shanghai, he's no longer afraid of that pretty boy. He immediately replied to the post: "That's just a bully who relies on his master's power. If I see him again, I'll beat him up just the same way, and return the favor double."

Someone immediately commented: "Yeah, 'Abstract' has already made a pledge; if he can't do it, he'll livestream himself eating shit while doing a handstand."

Suddenly, someone uploaded a video to the comments section of the post. Inside a Junxing Auto authorized customer center in Jiangzhou, crystal chandeliers cast a dazzling light, a red carpet stretched from the entrance to the center of the booth, and Junxing M7s of various colors were displayed on both sides, their bodies gleaming with a cold metallic sheen under the spotlights. The backdrop of the booth was a giant LED screen, playing Junxing Auto's advertising videos on a loop, accompanied by grand, symphonic music.

Dozens of media outlets focused their cameras and microphones on the center, flashes of light going off like stars. Staff members in uniform carried champagne trays and moved about, while a three-tiered champagne tower stood in a corner of the exhibition hall, the bubbly liquid shimmering under the lights.

A stylish Buick Regal M7 was surrounded by flowers, and the backdrop read: "Congratulations to Ms. Yang Mi on becoming a distinguished Buick Regal M7 owner."

Many netizens immediately searched for the live stream video on various platforms.

Yang Mi appeared in a champagne gold haute couture gown, the skirt made of a combination of silk and organza, flowing like clouds across water as she walked, outlining her graceful waist and hip curves. The deep V-neck of the gown was adorned with tiny crystals, and a blue diamond necklace sparkled at her collarbone, echoing the swaying diamond earrings at her ears.

She styled her long hair into a loose, low bun, with a few wisps falling beside her neck, adding a touch of effortless charm. Every step she took exuded the aura of a female celebrity, as if all the lights in the exhibition hall were focused on her.

Xiao Yuting, who helped her hand over the car, was dressed in a plain-colored cheongsam, with a platinum badge of Junxing Motors on the collar, signifying her status. Her posture was as upright as a bamboo shoot, exuding both the competence of a business elite and the gentleness of a woman.

When Yang Mi and Xiao Yuting stood side by side, one was as bright and beautiful as a summer rose, and the other was as cool and aloof as a chrysanthemum in late autumn frost—two completely different kinds of beauty, yet they collided to create a wonderful harmony.

Yang Mi tilted her head slightly and whispered to Xiao Yuting, a playful smile curving her red lips; Xiao Yuting nodded and smiled gently, her fingertips elegantly tracing the brand logo on the car key. The moment they exchanged keys, flashbulbs went off wild, freezing the scene into a visual feast: Yang Mi's dazzling beauty and Xiao Yuting's intellectual aloofness, like a perfect marriage of commerce and entertainment.

The video instantly went viral again, and an hour later, Yang Mi's WeChat account responded to the previous post asking for opinions on recommended vehicles for her:
Title: [Junxing M7, My Dream Car] Finally, you're here!

Main text: "Love at first sight, and even more so upon second meeting."

Thank you all for your enthusiastic recommendations! Among the many models, the Junxing M7 completely won my heart. I'll let you in on a little secret: at the delivery ceremony, Junxing's Vice President, @肖玉婷, personally handed me the keys, and the photo of us together was made into a giant poster by the brand (laughs). It turns out my destiny with the M7 was already perfectly arranged.

"'Abstract live car talk' has turned into 'Abstract live slap in the face'."

"Your mom's calling you home to pick up the car, 'Abstract'."

The overwhelming comments drove "Abstract Live Car Talk" to despair, and he wisely chose to shut up. But he read through every single post below, believing that revenge is a dish best served cold and that he would settle scores eventually.

While scrolling through my feed, I suddenly saw someone post a short video clip, a snippet from a short drama. This short drama was a mindless romance about a beautiful woman who gets dumped by a jerk, then meets a guy who seems to come from the sun. Just when everyone thinks they've both found their true love, the jerk reappears, driving a Buick M7. The female lead, surprisingly, throws herself into his arms again, leaving the male lead in his Rolls-Royce Phantom, looking utterly dejected in the wind.

Finally, the female lead blurted out, "I'd rather laugh in a Junxing car than cry in a Rolls-Royce."

Damn it, this product placement is so cheesy. The plot is terrible and illogical. They only posted it because it's a product placement ad for Junxing Motors.

The "Abstract Live Car Review" has reappeared, directly criticizing the short drama: "Just look at Junxing Motors' product placement ad to see what kind of aesthetics they have. They chose this worst drama out of tens of millions of short dramas."

"No wonder his name is 'The One from the Sun,' the male protagonist must be pointing to the sun and saying 'Sun' at the end."

Even fans of Junxing Auto were baffled as to why such a terrible drama was chosen for product placement. Many fans criticized the company, and some even directly accused Xiao Yuting. It wasn't until someone pointed out that Xiao Yuting hadn't even joined Junxing Auto when the short drama was filmed that the criticism stopped directed at her. Then, some noticed that the male lead in the drama had a decent physique, but for some reason, the director and the editing were so poor that he didn't even get a single close-up shot.

What's even more outrageous is that the passionate kiss between the scumbag and the female lead wasn't a trick of perspective; everyone could see their tongues. Because of this scene, people kept watching the shot over and over again. Even "Abstract Live Talking About Cars" couldn't help but watch it. And what he found out was that the actor playing the scumbag was Chen Xiao.

He would never forget that profile view. When he slapped him that day, this was the angle from which he looked at his profile.

{It turns out this pretty boy is actually an actor in a short drama, and judging from his appearances in this film, he's just a background actor. In such a terrible production crew, he can only play minor roles, which shows how miserable he is.}

This guy, just because he's hooked up with a few rich women, dares to be so arrogant. Not only did he humiliate me, but he also doesn't respect even Boss Wang. This guy is asking for it! A nobody actor, I could crush him.
Without even thinking, I left a comment under the video: "Garbage short drama, garbage plot and garbage actor, this is a garbage dump."

Trash actors?

"'Abstract' used to attack cars, and now they're resorting to personal attacks on short drama actors? What did they do? Did they bully your women?"

"Hey upstairs, look at that actor. Even though we only saw his profile, he's pretty handsome. And look at 'Abstract,' do you think his women are good enough to be bullied?"

These haters actually insulted his female fans. "Abstract" was already blinded by anger when he saw Chen Xiao, and these haters actually said that his female fans were not worthy of being bullied. Is this how you insult people? But thinking about how the pretty boy had been with several rare beauties, his female fans were indeed not qualified.

Thinking of this, she broke down again and angrily confronted him online: "He's just a pretty boy. If he dares to show his face in front of me, I'll slap his face to pieces."

These people online are unaware of the deep-seated hatred between "Abstract" and Chen Xiao, and find it unbelievable that he would make such a statement. This is not something a person with normal thinking would say.

However, due to the online feud between Huadi KOCs and netizens, this terrible video actually saw a significant increase in views. Originally, it had less than 5 views across the entire network, but in less than a day, the number jumped to 1000 million views, almost reaching the threshold of a viral short drama. It's quite bizarre that so many people are watching such a terrible show. And the line, "I'd rather cry in a Junxing car than laugh in a Rolls-Royce Phantom," while even more cheesy, introduced many people who were previously unfamiliar with Junxing cars to the brand. Coupled with the Junxing M7's undeniably high-end appearance, this generated considerable buzz for the car.

Wang Jian paid close attention to the online comments of his key KOC followers. After reading about this incident, he understood why "Abstract" was acting so irrationally. Wasn't that extra the pretty boy who had repeatedly insulted them in Jiangzhou? "Abstract" probably wanted nothing more than to tear him apart. Since he was now in Shanghai, he was no longer afraid of offending that pretty boy, hence his harsh words online to vent his emotions.

A cheesy advertising slogan and an online flame war gave this short drama some popularity, causing people who would otherwise have never paid attention to this matter to connect these events together, including Luffy.

Jiexun Sports is now putting increasing pressure on Jincheng Sports Group in the market. NK and Adidas's authorizations are open to them without limit. Recently, they have not only opened a large number of stores and high-level stores in the Junxiao business management system, but also snatched some of Jincheng Group's good stores, which has now caused General Manager Wei a lot of trouble.

The stores opened by Jincheng Group in full cooperation with Wansheng Group have been far from satisfactory, incurring losses from the moment they opened. This is mainly because Wansheng Group has already acquired all the good projects they could previously access. The reason some projects were not opened before was because they were deemed unsuitable and risky after evaluation. Now, they are being forced to leave no place to open stores by Junxiao Commercial Management, and their stores are being poached by Jiexun Sports, leading to a large number of store closures, a sharp decline in profits, and a continuous decline in the stock market for several months, quickly turning them into junk stocks.

As extravagant as Boss Wei is, Luffy lives a carefree life. In Shanghai, he often drinks with Ma Jian and hangs out in nightclubs, enjoying a very pleasant life. Moreover, Luffy's reputation in Shanghai's business circles is growing. After all, he is not only a guest of honor for the presidents of NK and Adidas' China regions, but also a guest of honor for Huang Guangyuan, the general manager of Junxiaocheng (formerly Huijin Plaza). Therefore, in Shanghai's retail business circles, everyone who sees Luffy respectfully calls him Brother Lu.

A few months ago, he would have been just a nobody, and being called "Old Lu" would have been an honor.

Having held this position for only a few days, he naturally knew why. Often in the dead of night, Luffy would remind himself that he must be a good dog for Boss Chen, a truly good dog. Whoever Boss Chen told him to bite, he would bite. And if he knew of anyone who wanted to harm Boss Chen, he would pounce on them and bite them.

You absolutely mustn't say you're just thinking about it, why would you bite? Thinking about it isn't enough either. Luffy is terrified of not having anyone to bite, of the day he loses his value as a dog and is abandoned by President Chen. Every day he's searching for enemies from various sources, but unfortunately, not many people know President Chen, and not many people can offend him. Finding an enemy is too difficult.

Today, Luffy arrived at the headquarters of Junxiao Commercial Management's Shanghai branch. He originally intended to chat with Joy from Adidas, as he was getting bored in Shanghai and spent his days going to Joy's place to chat. However, Joy wasn't as carefree as him; Adidas in China faced considerable pressure. While envying Luffy, she also wanted to keep him company, given his access to client resources and the fact that the company he managed was invested in by that Mr. Chen.

The two suddenly started talking about Junxiao Commercial Management's rapid development recently, with almost a dozen new projects added nationwide every month. Luffy mentioned that Zhao Hui, the regional manager of Junxiao Commercial Management's first war zone, was inspecting the Shanghai branch these past few days. Upon hearing this, Joy wanted to meet him. He had heard that this General Manager Zhao was under 30 years old, and to have reached this position, he must have a very promising future. Moreover, every time he talked with Huang Guangyuan, he could sense that they had great respect for General Manager Zhao, and even a bit of apprehension.

Of course, Joy was also a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Huang Guangyuan belonged to Jun Xiaocheng's system and was the executive vice president. In terms of his status in the business circle, he was no less than that of President Zhao. Why would he be so wary of him?

Luffy reminded him that General Manager Zhao was also the Vice President of Junxiao Commercial Management Group, with the same rank as the General Manager of the Junxiao City project. Moreover, this was not the main reason why Huang Guangyuan was wary of him. Luffy did not say it explicitly, but simply said, "Let's put it this way, even General Manager Xu gives him some leeway."

Joy wasn't stupid; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become the president of Adidas China. Upon hearing this, she immediately understood that this President Zhao probably had powerful connections, capable of making President Xu give her respect. It was highly likely that he was connected to that President Chen.

All of this became even clearer to him the moment he and Luffy met Zhao Hui. Even when facing Huang Guangyuan, Luffy treated him as an equal, and his interactions with Chairman Xu Jun were merely a matter of respect. But in front of Zhao Hui, he instantly transformed into a "dog." Treating Zhao Hui like a second master reminded Joy of Luffy's behavior in front of that man.

He gasped, realizing that this Mr. Zhao was not only related to Mr. Chen, but their relationship was far from ordinary. At this point, it wasn't wise to inquire further, so he quickly stepped forward to shake hands and exchange pleasantries with Mr. Zhao.

Zhao Hui is increasingly displaying the demeanor of a CEO of a large corporation. Sitting there with a smile, he gives Joy a sense of pressure, and she knows in her heart that the person opposite her is extremely confident and extremely assertive.

Zhao Hui knew Luffy well; initially, he had even blacklisted him. However, after witnessing Wei Ming harassing Zhao Xiangjun in Junxiao City, Jiangzhou, he and Ma Jian fought with Wei Ming, which changed Zhao Hui's opinion of Luffy, leading him to fully support him. Later, when Chen Xiao invested in Jiexun Sports in Xiangjun's name, acquiring a 70% stake, it essentially became his sister's business. Therefore, Zhao Hui's attitude towards Luffy went even further, treating him like a steward in his own household.

"Let's have a couple of drinks together tonight," Zhao Hui said, unusually inviting them to stay for dinner. Joy and Luffy were flattered.

"Please have a seat, I'll have them arrange a vehicle." This was the Shanghai branch office, and Zhao Hui wasn't very familiar with the place. The assistant here was the branch office general manager's assistant.

Upon hearing this, Luffy quickly replied, "I'll go, I'll go."

Zhao Hui naturally didn't stand on ceremony and nodded. It was already past closing time, but the assistant hadn't dared to leave because Mr. Zhao was there and might need something, so he worked overtime that day.

When Luffy walked over, she was laughing at her phone. Luffy joked, "Hey Qin, watching a lighthearted drama? Laughing so happily?"

Xiao Qin blushed. "It wasn't a satisfying drama, the plot was pretty bad, but there was product placement for Junxing Motors. The line 'I'd rather laugh in a Junxing Motors than cry in a Rolls-Royce Phantom' made me laugh."

Oh? Junxing Motors? He immediately became interested. "Send me the name of the short drama, I'll check it out later."

"Hmm—hmm—. It's called 'He Who Came From the Sun.' The reason this drama has received so much attention is that it's even involved in online flame wars within the automotive industry. I don't know what's wrong with Huadi Auto's KOC. He's saying that if this extra actor who plays the scumbag comes to Shanghai, he'll slap him in the face."

Young people like him often make boastful remarks; that's what they call "talking trash," right? He's never lost online, but he's never won offline. Luffy is no longer interested in this kind of person.

He asked Xiao Qin to arrange transportation; he was going out to dinner with General Manager Zhao later that evening. On his way back to the office, he searched online for the drama "He Who Came From the Sun."

This search led directly to the viral online discussion about "abstract" content and the fan wars, which included a scene where the scumbag was sitting in his car while the female lead ran towards him in his Junxing M7.

Looking at the "scumbag" sitting in the driver's seat with only a side profile, Luffy's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Holy crap, isn't that President Chen?

Chen Xiao's hairstyle and profile were naturally familiar to those who saw him often or always kept him in mind. He was 100% certain that this was indeed President Chen. As for why he would play such a minor role, Luffy didn't find it strange. President Chen's personality was always unconventional; he probably just thought it would be fun.

Because the video was posted on a thread, he naturally scrolled up and saw the "abstract" comment: "Trash short drama, trash plot, and a trash actor. This is a garbage dump." He also saw the line about slapping the actor's face to pieces. Luffy's eyes immediately gleamed with a dangerous yet joyful light—wasn't this a golden opportunity for him to shine? (End of Chapter)
