"Mr. Han, let me introduce myself. I am Qin Jun, the general manager of the large home appliance division of Dami Group."

Han Xue stopped. "Is there something you need?"

Qin Jun felt a little uncomfortable. He was the head of a major business unit of the rice group. In the past, when he went to other supermarkets and hypermarkets, the president would personally receive him and treat him with great respect.

Junxiao Retail belongs to Junxiao Group, so it's fine for me to show them some respect, but you can't be so indifferent after knowing my identity.

"Mr. Han, I'm here today to discuss cooperation with Junxiao Retail—"

"You can talk to General Manager Tian," Han Xue interrupted him, then turned and left. Chen Xiao was still waiting upstairs; what if he got impatient?

Qin Jun's expression changed. This guy didn't take him seriously at all; he was the kind of guy who could be dismissed with a wave of his hand.

At that moment, a young man stepped out of the elevator. He was refined and handsome, exuding an air of composure with every gesture. His steps were steady but not hurried, as if each step had been precisely calculated.

As upright as a pine tree and as free as a gentle breeze, she possesses both the competence of an elite and the elegance of an artist, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Han Xue's eyes lit up when she saw the man, and she quickly walked forward. Qin Jun was immediately furious; this Ms. Han was treating the village chief with utter disrespect.

He just wanted to explain the misunderstanding from yesterday, was she not even going to give him that chance? He couldn't keep leaving the Aston Martin unreturned to his friend forever, so he thought for a moment, then steeled himself and chased after her again.

"Why did you come down?" Qin Jun, who had caught up a few steps, overheard Han Xue speaking to Chen Xiao. He was puzzled as to who this man was, that he could make the seemingly aloof CEO Han speak so gently.

Chen Xiao gestured behind her, "Looking for you?"

Han Xue then realized that Qin Jun had caught up with them, and said somewhat impatiently, "I told you, just contact General Manager Tian in charge of procurement for matters related to cooperation. Is there anything else?"

Chen Xiao then realized that this person was a client. He glanced at Qin Jun, but before he could speak, the man said, "President Han, I'm not here to discuss cooperation; there's something else going on."

He was already down, so Han Xue wasn't in a hurry. However, she wasn't satisfied with Qin Jun, who hadn't made an appointment and was like a leech. She said coldly, "Go ahead and say it."

Qin Jun explained that a few days ago, due to time constraints, he couldn't find a parking space in Junxiao City, so he temporarily parked his car, not expecting it to block President Han's car. He came today to explain the situation and apologize.

Chen Xiao and Han Xue then realized that he was the owner of that Aston Martin, the one who called that day saying Han Xue had delayed him from making hundreds of millions, and who had made dozens of calls while she was with Chen Xiao.

Which company are you from?

Before Han Xue could speak, Chen Xiao asked first. Judging from his demeanor and Han Xue's attitude towards him, Qin Jun knew that this person's identity was definitely not ordinary, so he honestly answered that he was the head of the Dajia Business Division of the DaMi Group.

Upon hearing that it was the Rice Group, Chen Xiao wore a mocking smile. "Are you here to discuss home appliance cooperation with Junxiao Retail? Forget it, let's not cooperate."

Turning to walk towards the private elevator, Qin Jun was stunned. He hadn't even reacted yet. Who was this person? How could she just say she wouldn't cooperate? But Han Xue actually nodded and followed him into the elevator. Qin Jun was extremely anxious. He came to discuss cooperation, not to discuss whether or not to cooperate.

He was about to rush into the elevator when he was immediately stopped by Han Xue's bodyguard, who shouted, "Why? Why?"

As the elevator doors closed, Chen Xiao said, "You manufacture your own cars, but you don't even drive your own cars. How can others trust your products?"

The elevator doors closed, and Qin Jun stood frozen in place. What kind of logic was this? Da Mi had cars, but not Aston Martins. This reason was far-fetched.

He hurriedly turned around and asked the bodyguard, "Who was that? Who was that? Please take me to him. I want to have a debate with him."

The two short-haired beauties ignored him completely. He's crazy! He went to argue with General Manager Chen. So what if he just said it casually? The point is, he said he wouldn't cooperate with you.

In the elevator, Chen Xiao said to Han Xue, "Junxiao Supermarket should focus on high quality. Most of their appliances are OEM products. You might think you're buying 'rice,' but you don't even know whose brand it is. These kinds of products don't fit Junxiao Supermarket's positioning and should be strictly controlled."

Qin Jun was incredibly frustrated. The cooperation seemed to be falling through, but his car hadn't been moved yet. However, since the cooperation with Junxiao Retail was over, he figured he could at least find someone to move the stone blocks and get the car out himself. After all, he had already offended everyone he needed to. So be it if they weren't cooperating with Junxiao Retail; he was only concerned with their future anyway, and it wouldn't have a significant impact on his sales volume for the time being.

I took a taxi to the basement level of Junxiao City to find my parking spot. When I arrived, I could see my Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the distance—its originally streamlined body and dazzling sports car lines were now covered with rough yellow paper covering the windows, with the words "Illegal Parking" written in glaring red letters.

He was instantly furious and rushed over. The iconic front grille was half-covered by a crooked piece of paper, and the xenon headlights were covered in a mottled mess of paste. This multi-million dollar luxury car now looked like a zombie car covered in parking tickets, completely devoid of its usual elegant and understated beauty.

Qin Jun's face instantly turned bright red, his temples throbbed, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He rushed forward and ripped a piece of paper off the car window. The paste had dried completely, and he only managed to tear off a strip. The paper stuck to the glass, and those inside couldn't see outside at all.

"Who the hell did this?!" This car was his friend's precious possession; he wouldn't even let it get wet in the rain, and now it's been ruined like this!
A few passersby stopped to watch in the parking lot; some were suppressing laughter, some were pointing and whispering, and others were secretly taking pictures. In the distance, a security guard pretended to look down at his phone, but couldn't help but smile.

Buzz—the phone rang.

Qin Jun picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately had a bad feeling. He quickly answered, "Old Qin, I'm sorry, I need to use the car later. My blind date, who was introduced to me by someone, will be arriving at Jiangzhou Airport soon, and I need to drive to pick her up."

This was their first meeting, and when it came time to showcase his abilities, Qin Jun panicked when he saw the Aston Martin in front of him covered in stickers like a hearse.

His friend asked him where he was, and he could only tell him the truth. After hanging up the phone, he quickly ran to the mall to buy water and towels to wash his car. When he got to the supermarket entrance, he realized that it had been renamed Junxiao Supermarket, but it wasn't open yet. The upstairs were all luxury goods stores, so there wouldn't be any towels or water there.

He ran to the parking lot and found the security guard: "Brother, please help me, please help me move that stone block, and also find me some water and towels. I'll give you 1000 yuan."

The security guard, barely managing to control his expression, said, "Sorry, boss, I have to stay at my post and can't help you. Why don't you go upstairs and find our supervisor, and have him come down and make some arrangements?"

What a load of rubbish! Even if the boss knew who he was, and even if he were willing to help, his friend would probably be arriving almost immediately by the time arrangements are made. And this car, in such a terrible state, how could it possibly be driven in public? It reeks of paste.

He truly experienced what it meant to be utterly helpless. He couldn't get the security guards to help him, even after offering 1 yuan, they still ignored him. He was furious, cursing the guards for being inflexible and not knowing how to make money. He even considered confronting the guards, demanding to know why they allowed others to park his car illegally, but he knew he was in the wrong for parking haphazardly, and with his friend arriving soon, he didn't have time for anything else. He could only go and move the stone block himself. Poor guy, used to a life of luxury, how could he possibly move such a heavy stone block? He was sweating profusely, but the stone block didn't budge an inch.

When Qin Jun's friend arrived at the scene, he saw Qin Jun sitting on a stone bench with a frustrated look on his face, and his beloved car was covered in stickers like a hearse. Qin Jun's face immediately fell.

He slumped onto a concrete block in the parking lot, his hands hanging limply at his sides, his fingertips still sticky with undried paste. His hair was disheveled, a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead with sweat, and his eyes stared blankly at the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.

His friend strode over, his gaze sweeping from Qin Jun to the Aston Martin V12 Vantage covered in yellow paper. His face instantly darkened. His finger trembled as he pointed at the car, his voice low but barbed: "Qin Jun, I lent you my Aston Martin, and this is how you treat it?"

"I'm going to the airport to pick up my blind date in a bit, are you deliberately messing with me?" Her Adam's apple bobbed, and her back teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

This car is definitely not drivable, and there's no time to save it.

"I'll take a private car to pick up my girlfriend. You need to move the car out, wash it, and hand it over to me before tonight."

Qin Jun's friend's attitude was cold, and he knew he would never think of borrowing his car from him again. This incident created a rift between them.

Damn it, he's annoyed too. He remembered what Chen Xiao said: this car directly ruined his partnership with Junxiao Retail. Is there something wrong with this car? Is it a bad car?
After lunch, Chen Xiao took Han Xue back to Xishan Linyu. As the youngest sister, she was absent from the last gathering of the Seven Fairies, so Chen Xiao brought her back today to see Xiangjun.

Lin Ya and Meng Ziyi went to film a promotional video; the two of them will go together when they return. Han Xue is going on a business trip again in a couple of days, so she came alone today. Zhao Xiangjun and Han Xue get along quite well; they have similar personalities, both being quiet and possessing a cool, aloof air, so they hit it off immediately. After chatting for a while in the villa, Chen Xiao suggested taking them out for a walk.

Xiangjun is now pregnant and needs to get some fresh air outdoors, so she asked the driver to take them to Jinghu Liuyun Park in the suburbs. The lake is as smooth as a mirror and the willows are lush and green, making it a perfect place for a stroll.

The shimmering waters of Jinghu Liuyun Park reflect the weeping willows and classical pavilions along its banks like a mirror. A gentle breeze stirs the willow branches, causing them to sway like emerald beaded curtains, their branches shimmering softly in the sunlight.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up at the park entrance. Its black body gleamed with a low-key yet dignified metallic sheen in the sunlight, while the classic Parthenon-style grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament exuded unparalleled luxury.

The double doors unfolded elegantly like a stage curtain, and Chen Xiao stepped out first, dressed in a well-tailored casual outfit, exuding a calm and reserved temperament.

Zhao Xiangjun wore a light purple cheongsam that accentuated her graceful figure. Her hair was styled in a high bun, and pearl earrings swayed gently with her steps, showcasing classic Eastern beauty.

Han Xue wore a black haute couture dress, simple yet elegant, with snow-white skin, slightly upturned red lips, and every gesture exuding the confidence and composure of a modern woman.

The appearance of the two stunning beauties instantly attracted the attention of park visitors. Couples taking a stroll stopped in their tracks, and young girls whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with envy.

"Oh my god, is that a Rolls-Royce?" "Are those two girls celebrities? They're so beautiful!"

Chen Xiao shielded them from several cameras that were pointing their phones at them, and said helplessly, "I knew that bringing you out would attract a crowd."

Zhao Xiangjun said crisply, "I can stay at home all the time."

Chen Xiao quickly corrected himself: "Yes, you're right. It's all for me. Xiangjun only came out because of me."

"No, it's for the baby in my belly."

The truth can hurt people, Chen Xiao was a little worried. What if his status with Zhao Xiangjun would be lower after the baby was born? At this moment, Zhao Xiangjun said again: "After all, this is your baby, I will definitely treat him well."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. It seemed that Zhao Xiangjun still valued him the most, and the baby was only benefiting from his presence.

Han Xue listened quietly. She noticed that Chen Xiao's gaze remained fixed on Zhao Xiangjun, his deep eyes seemingly filled with starlight, gentle and focused. Whenever she spoke, his gaze was drawn to her like a magnet, a faint smile spreading across his eyes, as if in silent response.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, shutting out the noise of the outside world. Even when they simply stood side by side in silence, one could feel the unspoken understanding and deep affection between them, so intense yet so perfectly gentle.

Han Xue thought, if it weren't for people like her, would Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun be the most perfect couple? It was people like her who made him less perfect. At least for Zhao Xiangjun, Chen Xiao wasn't perfect enough; he didn't completely belong to her alone.

But then she thought about Chen Xiao's powerful fighting ability. If it weren't for this harem, Zhao Xiangjun probably wouldn't be able to stand it. He's so strong, he could kill someone.

Inside the park, the lake water is clear, and occasionally koi carp leap out of the water, creating ripples. In the distance, several egrets skim across the lake, leaving elegant arcs in their wake.

A winding path leads to a secluded spot, with bluestone slabs meandering through flowerbeds and seasonal blooms planted on both sides, filling the air with a faint fragrance of flowers and fresh grass. A hexagonal pavilion with upturned eaves stands by the lake, its vermilion pillars and carved railings exuding an ancient charm. Several elderly people are playing chess in the pavilion, leisurely and content.

This place truly isolates you from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing you to relax instantly.

Suddenly, a commotion came from not far ahead. Several people looked over, attracted by the sound. Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment. Those two girls seemed to be the two he had favored on the yacht last time. One of them was Han Xue's roommate, named Tang Tang.

Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei were furious. They had taken the day off and decided to come to this popular park. They were surprised to run into these young men. They tried to chat them up, but the two ignored them. Then one of the young men handed them a jade bracelet, saying, "Beautiful lady, this is a gift I prepared for my girlfriend. If you agree to be with me, this is yours."

Zhou Xiaomei had never seen such a rogue before. She immediately pushed the hand in front of her away. But the young man, whether on purpose or not, slipped and the jade bracelet flew out, landing on the bluestone road and breaking in two.

"Oh dear, my newly acquired high-quality, icy green jadeite bangle, which I bought for 150 million, and you just smashed it to pieces?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaomei and Tang Tang turned pale. 150 million was an astronomical figure for them. They immediately argued that it had nothing to do with them, that the young man had accidentally thrown it away, and that they were the ones who had caused the whole thing.

But a few young men surrounded them, preventing them from leaving. They gave them two choices: one was to become his girlfriend, in which case the bracelet would be a gift for her, and if it broke, it wouldn't matter. They said they wouldn't make her pay for it and would even buy her another one.

If they didn't agree, then they would have to call the police. Such a valuable item deserved an explanation. The two argued over this. Tang Tang had originally wanted to call the police, but now she was hesitant because Zhou Xiaomei had indeed pushed the young man.

No one expected that the bracelet would be so valuable. She originally thought the young man was trying to scam her, but her family was well-off and she had relatives who were in the antique and jade business. After taking a quick look at the bracelet, she knew it was definitely an icy jade, and judging from its quality, it might really be worth millions.

I guess that young man just broke it by accident; otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately smashed something worth 150 million.

That's true. He originally just wanted to flirt with Zhou Xiaomei, and taking out the bracelet was to prove his wealth. He bought it from the antique shop owner today, and it really cost him 150 million. Now that it's been smashed in half, he's still heartbroken. Although his family is wealthy, 150 million is still a considerable sum.

If Zhou Xiaomei doesn't give him an explanation today, then he'll have to give his father an explanation when he gets home.

Zhao Xiangjun turned to look at Chen Xiao and Han Xue's reactions. The quick-witted girl immediately realized something and asked Chen Xiao, "Do you know them?"

Nodding, Chen Xiao certainly wouldn't mention that he had spent the night with these two on the boat; to him, they were just passersby. He explained to Zhao Xiangjun that these two were receptionists at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, and also mentioned that one of them was Han Xue's roommate.

Zhao Xiangjun nodded. "No wonder they looked familiar. They seem to be in trouble. Let's go help them."

Chen Xiao knew that Zhao Xiangjun was an extremely kind-hearted person. She would help others in any way she could, whether they were acquaintances or employees of Junxiao Hotel.

He nodded, agreeing. He led Han Xue and Zhao Xiangjun forward, followed by Yan Yue and several bodyguards. However, because they were all girls, it gave the impression that Chen Xiao, a grown man, was leading a group of women.

Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei were still arguing loudly with them, but you could see that the two girls were a little scared, after all, the other side was a group of young people, and they looked like hooligans.

One of the young men even said to them, "I'm telling you, if you break something so valuable and don't want to pay for it, you can just become our CEO Jin's girlfriends. You won't have to pay for it, and you'll also find a rich and handsome boyfriend. Isn't that great?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Tang spat and said, "He doesn't even deserve to be his girlfriend!" She and Zhou Xiaomei had been blessed by President Chen, and their value had increased many times over.

The young man, referred to as "Little Boss Jin," was furious when Tang Tang told him he was unworthy. His voice was low but barbed, and a cold laugh escaped his throat: "Do you know who I am?" The last syllable rose, carrying a threatening tone, like the growl of a predator before hunting.

He took a step forward, his shoulders tense, his chest heaving noticeably, as if he were about to explode. Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei were so frightened that they quickly took several steps back. Tang Tang tripped and stumbled, letting out a cry as she was about to fall, when suddenly a pair of strong hands caught her.

She quickly tried to break free. Her body, which had been blessed by Boss Chen, couldn't be touched by other men. What if Boss Chen found out and became disgusted with her, and never used her again?
At the same time, she turned her head, and her tense body suddenly stiffened, her pupils dilated abruptly, as if struck by lightning, her mind going blank for a moment. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to cry out, but the sound caught in her throat, turning into only a short "Ah—".

{How come it's President Chen? Ah—it's President Chen! Why did I pull away? I should have fallen into his arms.}
Zhou Xiaomei also saw Chen Xiao at this moment. Her brows, which had been furrowed in resistance, suddenly relaxed. The panic in her eyes was quickly replaced by ecstasy. The corners of her eyes turned up slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. She was almost laughing out loud.

"With Mr. Chen here, we're saved! Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness; surely he won't abandon us."
Thinking of that day, her fair skin instantly flushed with a thin blush, spreading from her ears to her neck as if it had been scorched by fire, and even her breathing became rapid.

Only then did everyone notice Chen Xiao and the two stunningly beautiful women beside him. One wore a light purple cheongsam, the slit in the skirt revealing glimpses of her long, slender legs, making her figure appear graceful and elegant. The other wore a black suit, its clean lines highlighting her cool and refined features.

Seeing them, the young men's breathing quickened. They had already considered Zhou Xiaomei and Tang Tang to be rare beauties, but compared to these two—they were simply incomparable. (End of Chapter)
