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

Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei were somewhat conscious; they each had half a bottle of red wine that evening. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, couldn't hold his liquor and had also drunk quite a bit of beer, including a high-proof craft beer, which is why he was only now regaining consciousness. This was only because of his strong physique and rapid recovery ability.

In a daze, he felt like he was being rubbed on the back and back in a jacuzzi. He thought it was Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei, so he closed his eyes and continued to doze off for a while.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoyan's voice came from beside her ear: "Yaling, what's wrong with this guy? Was he a donkey in his past life?"

His eyelids twitched slightly, but Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling's focus was clearly not on his upper body at the moment. Then they heard Qin Yaling say, "You help him scrub his back, I'll put on some shower gel."

Chen Xiaoyan chuckled: "You think I don't know what you're up to? Fine, I'll let you have your turn."

Hearing Chen Xiaoyan's wild laughter, Chen Xiao thought to himself, "Keep laughing, when people start calling you a bastard, let's see if you'll still be laughing then."

Qin Yaling exclaimed, "He's practically an iron man!"

Qin Yaling is much better at talking, and her hands are firmer than Chen Xiaoyan's.

Chen Xiaoyan whispered twice in Chen Xiao's ear, "Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, stop pretending, I know you're awake."

Her body's reaction couldn't lie to her. She chuckled and said, "I told you tonight I'd teach you how to blow it, and I'll teach you now. Remember to get Mr. Ma to invest in Director Liu's movie tomorrow."

After saying that, Chen Xiao felt that Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling had switched places. Chen Xiaoyan's mouth was gagged, and she could only make incoherent sounds.

Half an hour later, Chen Xiaoyan was about to cry. "Yaling, he's not human at all. Is there something wrong with the alcohol he drank tonight? Please help him, and let him fulfill your longing of so many years."

Chen Xiao's body trembled. It was obvious that Qin Yaling had taken over now. Wow, this was getting interesting. He took the opportunity to let the alcohol in his body gather in one place and be released.

"Xiao Yan, I can't take it anymore either. What's wrong with him? Is he made of iron?"

After speaking, she froze, realizing that Chen Xiao had regained consciousness. Chen Xiaoyan had become half an Aries, trembling under Chen Xiao's large hand.

Qin Yaling felt a little embarrassed. He being asleep and him being awake were two different things, but now that things had come to this, she didn't have time to think further. Chen Xiao pulled her over and made her hold onto the bathtub, leaning forward.
The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Xiaoyan slowly opened her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Chen Xiao is such a looks-obsessed person."

Because she had to go to Ma Jian's place to discuss business that morning, she forced herself to sit up and pick up her clothes from the floor. Qin Yaling probably heard the noise and slowly woke up. Remembering her morning business, she also quickly tried to sit up.

With a cry of pain, she lay back down.

"Chen Xiao, he's a real jerk. It's your first time getting married, and he's doing whatever he wants to you. I can't even take the blame for you. But then again, was there something wrong with the alcohol last night? How come neither of us could handle him?"

Hearing Chen Xiaoyan's words, Qin Yaling was also still shaken. Women like capable men. But this man was frighteningly powerful.

"By the way, where did he go?"

Chen Xiaoyan, dragging her weak body, took a sip of water and said, "We're both so exhausted, how could he be any better off? He must have run off somewhere and fallen into a deep sleep."

"I'll go check on him, make sure he doesn't get cold."

Qin Yaling came downstairs, and Chen Xiaoyan went with her to check if Chen Xiao was covered with a blanket. After leaving the room, they didn't know which room Chen Xiao had gone to. When they got to the door of Tang Tang and Zhou Xiaomei's room, they suddenly heard a noise inside. At first, the two of them didn't pay attention, but then they heard someone shout from inside.

Chen Xiaoyan's expression changed. She recognized that voice; she'd heard it at least three times last night. The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. He could still continue? Was this some kind of all-nighter, day and night battle?
Now there's no need to worry about him getting cold. He'll definitely work up a sweat from his morning exercise, so how could he be cold? After tidying up, the two sat on the living room sofa, keeping a close eye on Tang Tang's door, growing more and more anxious as they waited. They didn't know when it started, but they had been waiting there for an hour and a half. Chen Xiaoyan would occasionally go to the door and check around; it was impossible to stop inside.

"Yaling, Chen Xiao could probably achieve financial freedom even if he became a gigolo, so why did he choose to be a salesman?"

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyan picked up her phone and sent a message to Ma Jian, telling him that Chen Xiao was still resting and asking if they should go over first or wait for Chen Xiao to come together.

The main thing is that Director Liu seems to be arriving soon; she just texted saying she'll be downstairs at Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center in 5 minutes. They can walk there from the hotel, so the time will be about the same.

Ma Jian told them to go first and not disturb Chen Xiao's rest. Even without his permission, given Chen Xiao's condition inside, it wasn't appropriate for him to disturb her, unless he wanted a chaotic brawl.

Director Liu has been having a run of bad luck lately. He had high hopes for this film, and thanks to Yang Mi's participation, he secured investment from Wansheng Film & Television. Later, a young man named Jia from Jiangzhou offered 5 million yuan in exchange for a role for his girlfriend, even if it was just the fourth female lead. He even had a meeting with Qin Jun, a senior executive from the DaMi Group, and everything seemed to be going well. However, two dishes that evening offended a powerful figure. Qin Jun was furious and refused to invest any more money. Just as Director Liu was about to try and persuade him further, Yang Mi suddenly told him that she would no longer be involved in the film.

After this news came out, Wansheng Film and Television was no longer willing to invest. Originally, Qin Jun was willing to invest because of Yang Mi's participation and Wansheng Film and Television's investment, which provided a great guarantee for theater support. Now that both of these decisive factors are gone, he is even less willing to invest.

This has really stumped Director Liu. His already bald head, which was already sparsely haired, is now completely bald.

But every cloud has a silver lining. A newcomer to the entertainment industry, whom he had previously contacted but hadn't considered using, suddenly claimed to have connections—a classmate was interested in investing in her. Director Liu initially thought she was exaggerating; how old was Chen Xiaoyan? Her classmate had probably only graduated two or three years ago—how much could she possibly earn? Not everyone is as lucky as Wang Lun, born into such a privileged family.

But when Chen Xiaoyan mentioned that classmate's company, Director Liu felt a glimmer of hope. He knew Dongjian Trading Co., Ltd. He had seen many Dongjian Trading stores in the mall when he last visited Jiangzhou, and they were all doing very well. He later asked a friend in Jiangzhou to inquire about it, and it was said that Dongjian Trading's annual profit was probably close to 10 billion yuan, and annual sales of 50 billion yuan were not a problem.

Wow, this is a big shot! Maybe this really can work out. He's Chen Xiaoyan's classmate, so the chances of him lying to her are relatively small. Therefore, after Chen Xiaoyan went to Jiangzhou and met Ma Jian, Director Liu, upon receiving the news, immediately rushed to Jiangzhou to pay a visit to Mr. Ma.

Standing downstairs in the Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center, looking at this landmark of Jiangzhou. It is said that this is the property of Junxiao Group, and also the headquarters of several of Junxiao Group's business units.

Thinking of Junxiao Group, he thought of the General Manager Chen he met in Jiangzhou, the man who scared Qin Jun away at first glance, the man whose girlfriend was indescribably beautiful, and the man who traveled with a convoy of bodyguards.

When Director Liu met him for the second time in Shanghai, although he was still unaware of his identity, he already knew that he was definitely a super big shot. Just considering that Jun Xiaocheng's beating of Ma Hu led to the forced termination of Ma Hu's agency contract, and Yang Mi immediately canceled her cooperation with him, one could feel the immense power of this person.

From that day on, Director Liu paid close attention to Chen Xiao, trying to find out his true identity from some clues. Until one day, he saw news about Lee Ji-eun. Someone online brought up Lee Ji-eun's rumored boyfriend again and posted a photo of Chen Xiao's profile taken in South Korea. Director Liu was completely terrified.

He never imagined that the person he offended in Jiangzhou that day would be the big boss of Junxiao Group. He scrambled to his feet, drenched in cold sweat, his back soaked. He was thankful that Qin Jun had turned and left in fear that day, preventing a further conflict with Chen Xiao; otherwise, he would have been dead. He was also thankful that he had apologized in Shanghai, and it seemed that President Chen had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Looking at this towering building that pierces the clouds today, he suddenly had a wishful thought: if he came to Jiangzhou, he would like to meet President Chen. He was really willing to be his old dog, but he was afraid that President Chen would look down on him.

"Director Liu~!"

Just as his thoughts were drifting, and he was picturing himself kneeling before Chen Xiao as an old dog, while Chen Xiao raised his hand and bestowed upon him a radiant glow, instantly transforming him into a golden old dog, a golden retriever, a voice calling "Director Liu" pulled him back to reality.

"Xiao Yan, Ya Ling!"

Director Liu had never worked with them before. They were two unknown actresses whom he didn't think much of. The only reason he was able to chat with them this time was because they were both good-looking, especially Qin Yaling, who was considered pretty among female celebrities.

But is the entertainment industry lacking in beautiful women? Obviously not. He wasn't particularly polite to the two of them; his attitude was slightly better today because their sugar daddy was their classmate.

"Hello, Director Liu!" Qin Yaling also called out.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and get up there, don't keep them waiting. Even classmates aren't suitable!"

Inside the elevator, Director Liu was still saying, "President Ma chose an office right next to Junxiao Group's. Wow, he's definitely benefiting from Junxiao Group's good fortune."

Chen Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "There are rumors that Junxiao Group's assets are close to one trillion. Is it really that exaggerated? This boss is too good at making money."

Keep in mind that their net assets are in the trillions, which is terrifying. Many companies valued at a trillion have debt-to-equity ratios exceeding 70%. Junxiao Group is an anomaly; they don't owe the banks a single penny. Rumor has it that the owner of Junxiao Group is incredibly stingy—resolutely determined not to let the banks profit from him.

But some people say that the nickname "tightwad" must have been given by the bank staff, because only they would be envious. Why doesn't such a high-quality customer contribute some profit to their business?

Director Liu solemnly said, "Do not doubt the strength of Junxiao Group. It is a great company and a legend in the business world."

He thought again of that handsome young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Perhaps there really are chosen ones; otherwise, how could his achievements be explained?

"You all know about the Yuzhou floods a few days ago, right? Junxiao Group and its five major business units donated a total of 18 billion yuan. Junxiao Group's CEO, Mr. Xu, personally donated 300 million yuan. And look at the donation list; the top 10 people are all from the Junxiao system. One person's donation is equivalent to hundreds of celebrities' donations." Chen Xiaoyan exclaimed in amazement, "That's amazing! I really hope there are more companies like that—they're profitable and compassionate. I really want to meet the boss of Junxiao Group. I want to see if his head is bigger than normal, and how his brain works."

"Don't say anything out of line—" Director Liu's face turned pale with fright. This was Junxiao Group, and there were security cameras in the elevator. What if someone overheard? Oh my god—would she be implicated again?

Thinking quickly to smooth things over, he cleared his throat and said to the surveillance camera, "The boss of Junxiao Group is handsome, dashing, and a young talent. He's much better looking than any big star."

Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling glanced at the surveillance camera and realized why Director Liu had said that, so they didn't take his words seriously.

Upon arriving at the front desk, having been notified by Ma Jian, they gave their identification, and the receptionist led them to Ma Jian's office.

Director Liu exchanged pleasantries with Ma Jian and then sat down on the sofa. Ma Jian said to Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling, "My two old classmates, please make yourselves at home."

Judging from Chen Xiaoyan's confidence today, it seems she served Chen Xiao well last night. Investing a few hundred million is just a game; it's not like she'll lose it all.

Next, Director Liu and Ma Jian went to the conference room. Director Liu presented the project's commercial potential, artistic value, and feasibility to Ma Jian using a PowerPoint presentation, hoping to pique his interest in investing. Little did he know, these were not things Ma Jian cared about at all; he just wanted to have fun.

After hanging out with Chen Xiao for so long, he doesn't even consider hundreds of millions as money anymore. If he were to lose a hundred million, or even tens of millions, he wouldn't care.

Director Liu was introducing the script so much that Ma Jian was almost falling asleep. He then went on to explain the budget and how the funds would be used, mentioning that the lead actor's salary would take up 40%; special effects/art production would take up 30%; and publicity and distribution would take up 20%.

Seeing that Ma Jian was not very interested, Director Liu started to get nervous. Later, he began to introduce himself and review the data of his past works (such as "his previous work was rated 7.5 on Douban and recovered 200% of the cost").

Why aren't you interested in this? What are you interested in? Director Liu was a little confused.

Let's talk about market return analysis. Based on a break-even point of 3 times the domestic box office, this film, with an investment of 3 million yuan, can break even if it grosses 9 million yuan.
Ma Jian yawned. Director Liu finally finished rambling. You know, he's only been in retail for half a year. Before, he was just a salesman. What did he know about the entertainment industry? Now he dares to play around, entirely because we're rich.

When he first opened his shop, he spent millions in a single night at a KTV. Now, he's making billions a year, and he's starting to dabble in the entertainment industry—or rather, he entered the entertainment industry so Chen Xiao could have a go.

It would be better if this movie made money, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't; I've fulfilled my promise to my two old classmates.

Director Liu felt there was no chance, because this Mr. Ma didn't seem to care at all. He had met so many investors, and Mr. Ma was the first one who didn't even care about the return on investment. How could someone like that possibly invest?
"Director Liu, has the female lead for this film been cast?"

Huh? Something's changed. He still has things he's interested in, that's good, there's still room for discussion.

"Mr. Ma, I'm considering whether to approach Meng Ziyi, a currently popular young actress, for the female lead."

Meng Ziyi? My sister-in-law? Ma Jian was now more cautious. "Could you re-introduce the script, especially whether the female lead has any romantic scenes?"

Director Liu was stunned. "Mr. Ma, there must be a romantic storyline, otherwise why would you call her the female lead?"

Ma Jian nodded and said, "Then you need to find Meng Ziyi to be the female lead. The script needs to be changed, and there can't be any intimate scenes, otherwise there's no point in talking."

Director Liu was taken aback. He had recently contacted Meng Ziyi's agent, and it seemed that was the case. It seemed that President Ma was not completely ignorant about the entertainment industry after all.

"Yes, Mr. Ma, we are actually still trying to get Yang Mi to continue acting in the role."

Yang Mi? It seems she also has a thing with the boss. Ma Jian was in a dilemma. If it were anyone else, he would definitely have Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling as the two female leads. But since it involved Ziyi's sister-in-law and Yang Mi, who had a past relationship with the boss, he had to be flexible.

"However, to be honest, Mr. Ma, at the moment, it seems that Yang Mi is almost out of the running, and Meng Ziyi's schedule is also quite tight, so the possibility is extremely slim."

He couldn't lie to her; these conditions had to be written into the investment contract. If the female lead's terms differed from what they had agreed upon, she would hold him accountable.

Ma Jian also felt that Meng Ziyi was unlikely to be cast. It seemed that Ziyi's sister-in-law was considering retiring from the entertainment industry. What was more important than being with Chen Xiao? Yesterday, he heard that the boss was planning to buy Wansheng Film and Television for her. Wouldn't that be better than being an actress?
"Okay then, I'll invest in this project, but I have one condition—"

"He's invested?" Director Liu didn't know how much he was going to invest, but judging from President Ma's expression, he figured it wouldn't be a small amount of equity. Overjoyed, he exclaimed, "President Ma, please feel free to give your orders! How much are you planning to invest?"

Ma Jian tossed a cigarette to Director Liu, then put one in his mouth. Director Liu quickly stepped forward to light it for Ma Jian.

Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling exchanged a glance; it really was true that money talks. Director Liu was usually arrogant and would directly berate many stars, even making them cry on stage, but in front of his old classmate Ma Jian, he was actually groveling.

My old classmate Ma Jian is really impressive! He's benefiting from this today. I wish Chen Xiao could be this impressive too. Ah, we still have a day of friendship. But Chen Xiao is impressive, though, it's a different kind of impressive.

"Didn't you say you were going to invest 3 million? I can invest it all."

Ah—Director Liu was so startled he almost stood up. Although Chen Xiaoyan had mentioned that President Ma was considering investing the entire company, Director Liu thought he was just joking. What kind of investor would do that? Besides, Director Liu still wanted to leave some for Wang Lun of Wansheng Film Industry. He still needed to maintain good relations with Wansheng Film Industry, since it involved so many cinema resources.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, I haven't finished speaking yet, I have some preconditions."

"You say."

How could he not be excited? In his understanding, if Mr. Ma could invest 3 million, and Director Liu brought in Wansheng Film & Television, Mr. Ma's smaller investment shouldn't be a problem, right? Later, when Wansheng Film & Television really didn't invest, Mr. Ma even covered for him. This trip today was totally worth it.

"I want Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling to be the two female leads—"

"They're here! They're finally here!" Chen Xiaoyan excitedly glanced at Qin Yaling. Last night's efforts weren't in vain—well, not exactly efforts, it was definitely a treat.

"No, absolutely not," Director Liu refused without even thinking.
"Mr. Ma, the second female lead is fine, but the female lead must have box office appeal, otherwise our film's box office will be greatly affected."

It's not just about box office success; Director Liu also wants to win awards with this film. If we follow Ma Jian's suggestion, the script will have to be completely revised. It's too frivolous.

Ma Jian's face turned cold. How dare a lousy director disrespect him? If it were yesterday, he wouldn't care, but last night Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling had served the boss and benefited from his influence, yet they couldn't even get a dual female lead role. Where did they put their faces?

"Xiao Yan, Ya Ling. Since Director Liu doesn't agree, then forget it. Let's find another movie. I have 300 million yuan here. Whoever gives you two the dual female lead roles, I'll cast my vote."

Director Liu was furious. This guy is a businessman? That's 3 million, not three bundles of toilet paper!

"Mr. Ma, please calm down. I can agree to all other conditions, but I still hope that the female lead can be reserved. I would like to find someone with box office appeal."

Ma Jian smiled but didn't say anything. Damn it, they're not giving me any face, and they're still nagging. His face darkened, and he stood up. "That's enough for today."

Seeing that the collaboration was about to fall through, Chen Xiaoyan quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Ma, Ya Ling and I can give up the lead roles. Could you please reconsider this project?"

Ma Jian shook his head. "No, it has to be two female leads." His insistence had nothing to do with the two women. It was mainly because he had promised Chen Xiao yesterday. If he couldn't do it, what would Chen Xiao think of him in the future? He couldn't even bribe Director Liu.

"That's enough for today. Since Director Liu doesn't care about my 100 million, then goodbye!"

Director Liu was like a scholar encountering a soldier, unable to reason with him. He quickly stood up and explained, "President Ma, I really don't mean to disrespect you. Even if my own father came and asked me to arrange for Xiao Yan and Ya Ling to be the two female leads, I would refuse without hesitation."

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a clear voice rang out: "Why do I hear someone calling me 'Dad'?"

The sudden sound startled them. Chen Xiaoyan quickly called out, "Chen Xiao—", fearing that Chen Xiao had offended Director Liu, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Director Liu, he didn't do it on purpose—" Just as they were about to explain for Chen Xiao, Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling were stunned when they saw Director Liu's expression.

Director Liu's body trembled like a leaf. My God, he actually ran into President Chen. This was the first time he had met Chen Xiao since he learned his identity.

He quickly grabbed it, bowed deeply, and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Chen!" (End of Chapter)
