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

Chen Xiao looked over with displeasure. The door to the private room opened, and the young man from before came over again, followed by a man in his forties with a full beard who looked like he was involved in the arts.

As soon as he came in, he said, "Brother, I'm giving you a stroke of good fortune."

"Get out~!"

After being disturbed repeatedly, Chen Xiao lost his patience and coldly rebuked him.

Seeing the situation, Zhao Xiangjun said to Wang Yan, "Sister-in-law, let's leave it at that."

They won't demand harsher punishment for this, nor will they try to exonerate him or exempt him from punishment. This kind of scum who bullies women and children deserves physical destruction if this weren't a modern society.

Chen Xiao's reaction enraged the young man, who shouted, "Do you know who's next to you? This is Liu Gang, a famous director in my country. He directed the recently released film 'Don't Go, Lover.' Director Liu has collaborated with many well-known film and television companies in China, including large companies like Wansheng Film Industry."

Before he could say anything more, Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "I told you to get lost, don't you understand?"

His expression, which had initially held a hint of smugness and boastfulness, seemed ready to receive Chen Xiao's "overwhelmed with gratitude." However, when the word "get lost" was coldly uttered, his smile froze abruptly, his lips twitched slightly, as if he had been slapped hard across the face, his entire face stiffening.

Anger surged within him, his face flushing crimson from his ears down to his neck, veins throbbing at his temples—clearly, he was utterly enraged by Chen Xiao's contempt. His eyes widened, pupils contracting slightly, as if in disbelief—"You're utterly ungrateful!"

At this moment, Liu Gang stepped forward arrogantly. "Young man, don't get too hot-tempered. Mr. Jia is doing this for your own good. I've recently started preparing to shoot a new movie with a total investment of 5 million yuan. The female lead has been almost finalized; we're planning to invite Ms. Yang Mi to play the role. The second female lead hasn't been confirmed yet. Mr. Jia just mentioned that there's a great beauty here who happens to match the character in my movie, so I came to take a look. If it's suitable, I can completely package you into a big star. How about it? Tempted? Still blaming Mr. Jia?"

"You get out too!"

She took out her phone and sent a voice message: "Sister Yan, come in for a moment."

Liu Gang was furious. "I meant well. Even if you disagree, you don't have to resort to insults, do you? Besides, you didn't even ask this beautiful woman's opinion. Becoming a big star is a blessing that most people would beg for."

At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Yan Yue entered from outside.

Chen Xiao said, "Make these two get out. If they don't get out on their own, then you get out for them."

He was extremely annoyed. What kind of lousy big star could compare to a single strand of my Xiangjun's hair? Besides, my Xiangjun was born to be the leading lady, the leading lady in the Chen family. Your crappy movie, if you asked her to be the second lead, you'd be being too kind by telling her to get lost.

Yan Yue said coldly to the two of them, "Get out, or should I help you get out?"

Although Yan Yue was a woman, their intuition told them that she was not someone to be trifled with. Adding to this, Chen Xiao was too difficult to talk to, so they could only leave dejectedly, muttering to themselves as they went, "Is this guy some kind of hothead? He can't even tell right from wrong. I was helping him, and he didn't even know how to seize the opportunity."

Mr. Jia said, "There's a reason why some people don't do well. They don't know how to seize opportunities, which is entirely a matter of perception."

"Let's go. When President Qin arrives, we'll have a good chat tonight. This movie is supported by Wang Lun of Wansheng Pictures. President Qin just needs to persuade Dami Group to invest a little more, and it'll be settled. Next, we need to finalize the cooperation with Yang Mi."

"Director Liu, what about the second female lead?"

Liu Gang laughed, "You think we'd really lack a second female lead? The investors in this movie, two key figures, are Wang Lun and Qin Jun, both young tycoons. You know what young tycoons like. Yang Mi's status is a bit too high; they can't handle her. The ones below are the targets, aren't they? Hehe—"

Suddenly remembering something, he stopped. Mr. Jia said urgently, "Director Liu, my girlfriend is the third female lead, you wouldn't—!?"

Liu Gang turned his face away, then came back three seconds later. "No way, we're brothers, a brother's girlfriend is our girlfriend, uh, no, I mean our sister-in-law. Don't worry. Besides, how could you not have confidence in your girlfriend?"

Mr. Jia was a little worried. He had invested 500 million yuan to get his girlfriend a supporting role, which he thought was a good deal. But after hearing what Liu Gang said, he was starting to have doubts.

That evening, he was hosting a dinner for Director Liu and another important figure, the general manager of the large appliance division of the DaMi Group. Director Liu's film had sought investment from the DaMi Group and would include some product placement. The dinner was mainly to discuss the cooperation. As for President Jia, he was investing 500 million yuan to get a role in Director Liu's film for his girlfriend from the art academy.

Tonight's dinner party was partly for his girlfriend, and partly to get to know a big shot like Qin Jun. The film also has another investor, someone even more influential: Wang Lun, the heir to the Wansheng Group. Unfortunately, for some reason, Wang Lun hasn't left the capital for two months. No matter how big the business, he won't leave the capital; this has become an unsolved mystery in the industry.

Mr. Jia led Director Liu back to the private room, partly worried about what Director Liu had just said—his girlfriend was quite pretty, and he didn't want those two girls to covet her. On the other hand, he was also excited that he had finally fulfilled his girlfriend's dream of acting alongside Yang Mi, something she had always aspired to, as Yang Mi was her idol.

The chef's skills were indeed excellent; they thoroughly enjoyed the two signature dishes. Chen Xiao considered hiring the chef to cook Sichuan cuisine at his home, judging from Xiang Jun's apparent enthusiasm. However, poaching someone else's chef would destroy the restaurant's unique character. This could very well lead to the restaurant's demise, harming not only the owner but also many other people's livelihoods.

Yan Yue was to stand guard outside, and no one was allowed to enter without prior notice, including the waiters. That Jia guy was causing me so much trouble.

Buzz—Zhao Xiangjun's phone rang again. She glanced at it and saw it was Wang Yan's number again.

Chen Xiao was a little unhappy. "Let Zhao Hui handle it. Your sister-in-law doesn't seem very bright."

Xiangjun just said "that's it" and hung up the phone, so her calling back so soon must be about the same old thing. Zhao Xiangjun sighed and answered, "Let me ask her what's going on."

On the phone, Wang Yan was almost in tears. "Xiangjun, you have to help me! If this isn't handled properly, my sister-in-law is going to divorce my brother!"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but shake his head as he wept bitterly. Was it really necessary?
Zhao Xiangjun said calmly, "Tell her that if she wants a divorce, she should do it sooner rather than later. I'll have Chen Xiao introduce another young and beautiful woman to your brother; Chen Xiao is good at this."

He was speechless. What did she mean by "I'm good at"? Okay, it seems he really is good at picking up girls. But when Xiangjun said that, he still winked in protest, only to be met with a glare from Zhao Xiangjun—"Stop pretending to be an innocent little rabbit, you're clearly a big bad wolf."

Upon hearing Xiangjun's words, Wang Yan immediately fell silent. As Xiangjun's sister-in-law, someone she had lived with for several years, she knew very well that this was how her sister-in-law was when she criticized people, but she always managed to get straight to the heart of the matter.

Yes, they're all stuck in their old ways of thinking. Before, whenever his family argued, his wife would threaten him with divorce. But now, since returning from the yacht trip, Zhao Hui has been actively supporting these relatives in various endeavors, and everyone's doing quite well. If his wife still wants a divorce now, let her go ahead. It shouldn't be difficult for his brother to find someone new, right?

"Xiangjun, thank you, I understand. Please don't tell Zhao Hui that I've been calling you, or he'll definitely yell at me."

Xiangjun laughed: "Sister-in-law, before, if my brother had scolded you, you would have definitely divorced him. Now it's different, you're actually afraid of him."

Chen Xiao almost burst out laughing. Zhao Xiangjun really didn't mince words. However, she wasn't intentionally mocking Wang Yan. Wang Yan was a bit dim-witted, though not malicious. Xiangjun was just asking her to put herself in Wang Yan's shoes—how did Wang Yan interact with Zhao Hui before, and what is the situation now? Wasn't her brother and sister-in-law in the same situation?

After figuring it out, Wang Yan knew how to handle it: just ignore them and let them do whatever they want.

In another private room, the door opened, and Qin Tian entered with his assistant, greeting Director Liu. As for President Jia, he merely called out, "Little Jia, right?", clearly not taking him seriously at all.

After Mr. Jia instructed the waiters to serve the dishes, Qin Tian said casually after a few rounds, "The food at this restaurant is just so-so, not as amazing as you all say. I remember Director Liu mentioned some incredibly expensive Mapo Tofu and Australian lobster, why didn't you order those to try?"

Director Liu glanced at President Jia and said with a forced smile, "President Qin, this was Jia's oversight. He didn't consider this when ordering the food, and only realized today that the food preparation was limited. But he took remedial measures in time, and even brought up your status, but unfortunately the other party—alas!"

Mr. Jia was taken aback. When had he mentioned Qin Jun's identity? He was just some important figure. But he quickly realized that Director Liu had been upset and had instigated Qin Jun to cause trouble for that person.

{That cunning old man is even worse than me. You really have to be careful when dealing with him; one wrong move and you'll fall into a trap.}
Qin Jun looked at Director Liu, "What's the pity?"

Director Liu glanced at President Jia, "Let's just forget about it. What he said was pretty nasty. Ugh—it's infuriating!"

Although Qin Jun held high positions and wielded great power, he was still young and had the typical flaws of youth—arrogance. Furthermore, he himself was used to being overbearing and domineering, so he enjoyed competing and fighting with others.

"Old Liu, just say what you have to say, or shut up. Why are you mumbling like a woman?"

"Well—okay, there are some things that are really inconvenient to say out loud. Those two specialty dishes were ordered by a young couple. Mr. Jia went to negotiate with them, offering to pay for their expenses tonight, but they didn't agree."

The second time, I accompanied Mr. Jia to the theater, and I even suggested that if he agreed, I could get his female companion into the film as the second female lead.

At this point, Qin Jun interrupted him, "Old Liu, don't talk nonsense. This film has a total investment of 5 million yuan. If you just randomly pick someone to be the second female lead and they mess it up, the losses will be huge." Liu Gang chuckled, "President Qin, you don't know, that kid's female companion is really beautiful, much prettier than Yang Mi, she's superior in every way."

"Hmm—!?" Qin Jun's eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of Han Xue. That woman was unbelievably beautiful. How come there were so many beauties in Jiangzhou?

"You continue~!" Qin Jun took the liquor his assistant poured for him and gestured to Liu Gang.

"That kid wouldn't listen, so Mr. Jia had no choice but to bring you up, thinking that with your status, the other party would definitely give you face. These days, which young person wouldn't want to be friends with you?"

Qin Jun chuckled coldly. He often liked to encourage everyone to be friends. But what are friends for? They're there to go to great lengths for each other. That's right, for someone who would stab their friend in the back for their own sake.

"But that kid actually... actually said that you wouldn't dare utter a sound in front of him, and you still want to save face in front of him."

Qin Jun's face turned cold as he looked at President Jia: "Is that really what you said?"

Mr. Jia was already tied to the boat; he had no choice but to nod and confirm it.

"Alright, take me to see that person later. I want to see who else in Jiangzhou would dare to utter a sound even if I, the Qin army, were to meet them."

Director Liu winked at President Jia, seemingly asking how well he had executed his strategy of using someone else's strength against them. President Jia quietly gave him a thumbs up, but in his heart he was thinking, "There really aren't many good people in the entertainment industry. This Liu Gang usually acts like a cultured man, but when it comes to doing bad things, he does it with ease."

After a few drinks, Qin Jun, emboldened by the alcohol, asked Boss Jia to take him to find Chen Xiao. He wanted to see which arrogant young man dared to disregard him. He also wanted to see if the woman was really as beautiful as they described—could she really be prettier than Han Xue?
Thinking of Han Xue reminds him of that Aston Martin. His friend has been cutting off contact with him lately, truly suffering because of Han Xue's car. But Han Xue is really something else. Yesterday, Qin Jun went to Junxiao City again and found Han Xue's Range Rover still parked there, making him wonder if Han Xue was targeting him after what happened last time.

Well, whether it was targeted at him or not is unimportant. What's important is that the cooperation with Junxiao Retail failed. When I reported this to the CEO, I got a scolding. The group is still very optimistic about the future development of Junxiao Retail. According to internal sources, Junxiao Group has already injected 500 billion yuan into Junxiao Retail. To put that into perspective, the combined assets of the largest supermarket giants in China don't even amount to that much.

With the business district advantages of Junxiao Commercial Management, Junxiao Retail's hypermarket project is bound to be quite successful. Therefore, the CEO asked Qin Jun to come and negotiate again; if that fails, he will personally intervene.

If the CEO has to be involved in everything, what's the point of having a senior executive like myself? So, Qin Jun came again.

The reason for investing in Director Liu's film is because he's friends with Wang Lun, the heir to the Wansheng Group. Wang Lun is in charge of the film, and Qin Jun plans to persuade the group to invest, along with product placement. With Yang Mi as the female lead, the advertising effect should be quite good. The company has ample marketing funds; it's not a waste of money, and investing in a film might even yield a profit.

The group of people arrived at Chen Xiao's private room again. Yan Yue stood at the door of the room, her posture straight as a pine tree, her hands hanging naturally at her sides, but her knuckles were slightly tense, as if she could make a move at any moment.

Her gaze was as cold as a knife, piercing directly at the Qin army. Her pupils contracted slightly, revealing an undisguised warning. Her lips were pressed into a straight line, her jawline taut, her entire face like a frozen lake, without a ripple, yet exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

Her gaze lingered on Qin Jun's face for a second before sweeping over the men behind him. Her eyes, like radar, locked onto each person's movements, as if silently declaring, "Take another step closer, and you'll face the consequences."

"President Qin, this looks like the female bodyguard they brought."

The arrogant smile on Qin Jun's drunken face suddenly froze. His eyes widened slightly, his pupils contracted, and he was instantly sobered up by most of the alcohol.

The smile on his lips froze, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

His gaze swept quickly over Yan Yue, and from her posture, eyes and the position of her hands, he instantly judged that she was a trained fighter and not someone to be trifled with.

The woman had brought a female bodyguard; she must be someone important. Anyone who can bring bodyguards is already quite remarkable, but someone with a female bodyguard is even more so. He sobered up instantly. No, he needed to be more discreet. This woman's identity was also considerable; she was probably no weaker than him.

The leg that was about to step forward was abruptly pulled back, and the foot unconsciously took a half step back. The shoulders relaxed slightly, the previous "I'm the best" posture turning into a slightly wary stance. A forced smile appeared on the corner of the mouth, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Uh... Miss, we'd like to pay our respects to this gentleman inside..."

Yan Yue said calmly, "He gave the order that no one should see him."

Qin Jun maintained his smile. "I am Qin Jun from the Rice Group. Could you please announce my presence again?"

Just as Yan Yue was about to refuse, the door to the private room suddenly opened from the inside, and Zhao Xiangjun walked out first. Her figure was elegant and composed, as if she had a soft-focus filter, making everything around her pale in comparison.

Her skin was as smooth as white jade, gleaming with a lustrous sheen under the light, flawless, as if untouched by the vicissitudes of life. Her almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, with slightly upturned corners, exuding a classical beauty.

A well-tailored dress accentuated her perfect curves, highlighting her slender waist and long legs. Every step she took seemed to be walking on clouds, light and elegant.

Qin Jun was still somewhat drunk and arrogant, but the moment Zhao Xiangjun appeared in his sight, his mind went blank, his mouth opened slightly, his eyes stared blankly at her, and even his breath stopped for a moment.

His previous arrogance vanished instantly, and he even subconsciously straightened his collar, afraid that he would appear vulgar in front of her.

"How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?!"

"Who is Yang Mi? Han Xue can't compare to her!" "Who is she? How could any man be worthy of her?!"

Qin Jun suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. Such a woman was not worthy of anyone in the room. Just then, Chen Xiao emerged from the private room, her gaze sweeping indifferently over Qin Jun and his group. Her eyes held no anger, no contempt, not even the slightest flicker of emotion—as if she were looking at thin air.

The Qin soldiers were struck dumb, their expressions instantly freezing, their pupils shrinking as if someone had grabbed their throats.

"How could it be him? The man who lost his cooperation opportunity with Junxiao Retail with just one sentence, the man who invited Han Xue to dinner that day, who is he?"

Director Liu then whispered, "It's this person."

He had expected the Qin soldiers to step forward and question him, but the next second he was stunned. The Qin soldiers simply turned and left without saying a word. Just like the lie he had just fabricated—he really didn't dare utter a single word and left.

He had been waiting for the Qin army to come forward and question him, and had even prepared a set of explanations, but what he saw before him left him completely dumbfounded.

"What's going on? The Qin army has actually fled?!" "Who is this person? How can he make the Qin army so afraid?!"

People like Liu Gang are bad, but not stupid. He quickly realized that Qin Jun definitely knew this person and couldn't afford to offend him, so he ran away without uttering a single word.

Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun ignored them like they were invisible, while Yan Yue and the others surrounded them as they arrived at the hotel entrance.

The bulletproof Maybach S680 boasts a solid and imposing body, with slightly tinted windows that exude a menacing aura. Parked quietly in front of the restaurant, its body gleams coldly under the lights.

Two Mercedes-Benz GLS bodyguard vehicles stood one in front of the other, in a guard position, clearly indicating that they were well-trained.

The driver jogged to the back door of the Maybach, bowed slightly, deftly opened the door, and respectfully invited Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun to get in.

Liu Gang's pupils suddenly contracted, his mouth slightly open, and the smugness on his face instantly froze, replaced by shock and unease.

"A bulletproof Maybach? What kind of person is this?!"

Mr. Jia was also somewhat frightened. Thankfully, he hadn't clashed with Chen Xiao; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died. The two returned to the private room, and upon entering, Qin Jun said, "You two, don't go around causing trouble using my name anymore. If you get your legs broken one day, you'll drag me down with you!"

Seeing him get angry, Liu Gang and General Manager Jia didn't dare to talk back, but they cursed inwardly, "What a piece of trash, he can't afford to offend others, so he takes it out on us."

Qin Jun came to Jiangzhou this time hoping to ease tensions and then discuss cooperation with Junxiao Retail. He didn't expect to meet the most crucial person so soon. Unfortunately, the occasion just now was obviously not suitable for easing tensions.

Who was this person? He had initially thought it was Han Xue's boyfriend, because when the two stood together that day, there was an inexplicable chemistry and intimacy—the kind of connection only found between boyfriends and girlfriends. But after seeing Zhao Xiangjun today, he was unsure. Because today's person was clearly his girlfriend; the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an undeniable, deep affection.
