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

Director Liu felt a lingering fear when he saw Zhao Xiangjun. He had been thinking of casting her as the second female lead that night, and now he felt like he had just escaped death.

When Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling saw Zhao Xiangjun and He Qing, they immediately showed disbelief. How could there be such beautiful women? The one in the back was almost as beautiful as Zhang Ziqian.

But the one in front of me was so flawless, everything about her was so perfect, and with her somewhat aloof temperament, she seemed to be detached from the world.

Upon hearing Ma Jian's greeting, they instantly understood the woman's relationship with Chen Xiao, and both women immediately felt ashamed of themselves. Last night, Chen Xiao had said his girlfriend was prettier than them, and they hadn't been convinced, but now, seeing Zhao Xiangjun, they didn't even have the courage to compare themselves, and were completely defeated.

Seeing that they were staring blankly, unsure of how to address them, Chen Xiao smiled and introduced them, "This is the boss's wife of Junxiao Group, my wife, haha~!"

Zhao Xiangjun reached out and pinched him. This was the first time Chen Xiao had publicly stated that Xiangjun was his wife. The two had not yet registered their marriage or held a wedding ceremony, but it was not surprising that he called her his wife.

Shen Jun called several times, urging Chen Xiao to hold the wedding. Xiang Jun was already pregnant, and this guy still hadn't given her a proper status.

Chen Xiao had mentioned this to Xiang Jun. Xiang Jun's opinion was that there was no rush, mainly because he had so many women, and if Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun were to get married now, the others would probably feel sad.

Chen Xiao sighed inwardly. If anyone was sad, shouldn't she be the saddest? He used to belong to her alone, but now there were so many other women outside. He knew this was Xiang Jun's feeling for him. When they were together, she never considered herself; she only thought about what would be best for Chen Xiao.

They investigated the land reclamation and island building project in the South China Sea, which was intended to establish the Chen family's stronghold. Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun discussed getting their marriage certificate first to confirm Xiang Jun's legitimacy. As for the wedding, they would wait until the Chen family's island was completed before having a grand ceremony with one groom and a dozen or so brides. After all, it would be on their own territory, so it wouldn't be too shocking.

If this were done in Jiangzhou, it would likely create a public outcry across the country and have a very negative social impact.

Then He Qing was introduced, the head of the Junxiao Charity Foundation. Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling could tell at a glance that this fashionable and beautiful CEO He must also be Chen Xiao's woman. At her age, she had become the person in charge of the Junxiao Charity Foundation. If she wasn't his woman, she wouldn't even be able to dream of it.

Ma Jian and his group didn't dare linger and bid farewell to Chen Xiao. Director Liu and the others wanted to stay longer, but given the current situation, Chen Xiao needed to be with his wife and girlfriend. If they didn't know their place, they might be asked to leave. It was better to be smart.

After showing Xiangjun the entire floor, Chen Xiao asked smugly, "How's the office environment? Not bad."

Zhao Xiangjun nodded slightly, "When it comes to extravagance, few can compare to you."

"Would you like to come to work with me from now on?"

She quickly shook her head, "I don't want to. I wouldn't have come if He Qing hadn't been anxious at home. But if He Qing wants to come out, I can bring her here. It's quiet here, and she can rest well."

Chen Xiao turned to look at He Qing and thought Xiang Jun's suggestion was good. Before she recovered, she should come over here with him.

His office is usually undisturbed; it's almost as quiet as his home. Chen Xiao showed her around before they sat down back in his office. He asked her if Zhao Hui's return time was confirmed.

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him. "When is he coming back? You're asking me? If he has something to say, he'll definitely tell you."

That's true. Zhao Hui usually doesn't talk to Xiang Jun about work-related matters; he always comes directly to me.

“I thought you must have heard what Wang Yan said when you went to his house.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiangjun recalled Wang Yan's behavior that morning. "My sister-in-law doesn't even remember my brother anymore. She's staying in the Cullinan that you had Ziqian buy for their family, and she doesn't want to come down."

You can't blame Wang Yan for this; she had suffered too much in the past, and the changes in her family this year were so great that anyone would be confused.

At that moment, Zhao Hui sneezed at the Tianning regional headquarters.

Recently, Junxiao Commercial Management has begun to experience explosive growth. Previously, core projects were deployed in all regions. Now, with the strong financial support of Junxiao Commercial Management, it is not only acquiring existing core properties, but also implementing the plan set by Chen Xiao and Xu Wu to start the construction of the next generation of Junxiao Plaza and Junwu Plaza. They will acquire land themselves and build commercial facilities, with each project having a commercial area of ​​no less than 20 square meters.

Because he and Lin Ya knew Chen Xiao and Xu Wu well enough, unlike Lu Tao, who was always hesitant when it came to spending money. This was a habit he brought over from Wansheng Group. It couldn't be said that he was wrong, after all, he was afraid of being punished by the boss when he spent the boss's money.

Zhao Hui and Lin Ya knew Chen Xiao very well. He didn't mind spending a little more money, but the projects had to be good. Compared to cold, hard numbers, he preferred projects that had people and warmth.

Junxiao Commercial Management Office has been very successful recently, conquering new territories wherever it goes. Wansheng Group's resistance is weakening, and it's now showing signs of contraction. Zhao Hui heard that Wansheng Group is already discussing whether to consider a nationwide contraction, concentrating resources on retaining some high-quality stores to at least ensure profitability. Maintaining scale as it is now might not be sustainable, and in the end, they might find they've lost their core business.

The competition between the two sides is now practically an open secret. At this point, their major moves are no longer secrets. After all, Junxiao Commercial Management has poached many people from Wansheng Group. These people have numerous superiors and subordinates within Wansheng Group, and they frequently communicate with each other, inadvertently learning about each other's recent activities.

Of course, these weren't trade secrets to begin with; they were just specific tactical arrangements. Junxiao Business Management was using money to push things along—it was an open strategy—and there was no way to counter it.

Finally, I've finished dealing with everything I was doing, and I can finally go back and enjoy a peaceful vacation. The day after tomorrow is my father-in-law's 60th birthday, so I'll go back to celebrate. I remember two years ago, when Wang Yan and I ordered a birthday cake for him, we were even teased by my brother-in-law's wife.

He had no choice back then; the money he earned wasn't enough to support his family. He even had to ask Xiangjun for a cake at the last minute to order one for his father-in-law. Looking back on himself then, he felt truly ashamed. Sometimes he even thought that if he encountered his past self again, he would probably want to kick him to death. How could there be such a despicable person in this world?

"Boss, boss, the car is ready!"

Mr. Chen is now the Deputy General Manager of Operations for the Tianning region. This is a meteoric rise, stemming from his unwavering decision to follow Zhao Hui, who was then only the Deputy General Manager of Jiangzhou Junxiao Plaza, to expand the market in Ningxi. He was among the first group of people to follow Zhao Hui. Now that Zhao Hui has succeeded, naturally they have also risen in tandem.

If he were still at the Junxiao Plaza store, in just one year, he might still be a store operations manager. Now, in a year, he's achieved a position he never dared to imagine in his entire life. This time, Zhao Hui was on vacation back in Jiangzhou, and he happened to be on vacation too, so he went back to Jiangzhou with his boss. On the way, he could properly report some work ideas to his boss and further strengthen their relationship. At the same time, he was thinking about the various gatherings he'd arranged in Jiangzhou in the past two days. Many of his former colleagues were still working as floor managers or operations managers; the better-performing ones had even become deputy general managers of stores, two levels below him.

Returning home in glory feels wonderful. Zhao Hui called Chen Xiao when he set off to tell him that he was returning to Jiangzhou and would arrive around 4 p.m.

"Speak of the devil, and he appears. Xiangjun and I were just talking about when you'd be back. You should go home this afternoon, and Xiangjun and I will come over for dinner tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ziqian poured tea into his blue and white porcelain cup. Chen Xiao said to her, "Help me pick out a gift for Zhao Hui. It's been so long since we last met. Brother-in-law, I should try to please him, shouldn't I?"

Everyone knows he's joking, trying to please Zhao Hui? Even a sneeze from him makes Zhao Hui tremble.

Zhao Xiangjun said irritably, "Why are you trying to please him? He's not going to live with you or sleep with you."

Zhang Ziqian couldn't help but burst out laughing. She quickly stopped, glanced at Chen Xiao, and found him glaring at her too. Unlike Zhao Xiangjun, Zhang Ziqian wasn't bold enough to casually retort, so she could only lower her head and desperately suppress her laughter. Then, she excused herself to check the item list and choose a gift.

A short while later, Zhang Ziqian returned and listed several gifts for Chen Xiao to decide on.

"Let's choose this one. We'll give our CEO Zhao a pen, symbolizing that he holds absolute power, haha!"

Zhang Ziqian nodded, "The boss is right, the meaning is good!"

Zhao Xiangjun said from the side, "Ziqian, don't listen to him. He just wants to save trouble. This is easy to carry."

Looking up, Zhang Ziqian saw Chen Xiao touching his nose and knew that Xiangjun had indeed guessed right. Sigh, the two of them knew each other too well.

Chen Xiao's pen is quite valuable; it's an Aurora "Diamond Light" pen, with a 30-carat De Beers diamond set in the barrel and a 2-carat ruby ​​in the cap. Made entirely of 18K white gold, this is a one-of-a-kind piece worldwide.

This pen, which has collectible value, was purchased by Cha Lan at an auction and given to Chen Xiao, who planned to pass it on to Zhao Hui. The original auction price for this pen was 1100 million Chinese yuan.

He Qing sat in the living room for a while, and Zhao Xiangjun, worried that she might get tired, asked several times if she wanted to lie down in the lounge for a bit. She had been lying around at home too much, which was why she wanted to come out to work or go for a walk; she definitely didn't want to go back to bed. Besides, being here with Chen Xiao, even if it was just talking, would be good.

On the high-speed train back to the capital, Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling sat together. Qin Yaling looked out the window, but her thoughts were still on Jiangzhou, meeting Chen Xiao, the extreme impact in the suite that night, and the shock after learning that he was the boss of Junxiao Group. It was a double blow to both her body and mind.

She not only received 500 million yuan, but also a diamond VIP card for the Junxiao Hotel, and a luxury mansion in Yihaoyuan worth 1.5 million yuan. Many big stars struggle for a long time to even have a chance to own these things, and now she has it all. And all of this stems from last night, from Chen Xiao's seductive shot.

*Buzz*—The phone on the small table rang. Qin Yaling glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number, displayed as a Beijing number. At their current level, neither she nor Chen Xiaoyan had any agents; they handled everything themselves. Therefore, she dared not ignore an unfamiliar call, fearing she might miss an opportunity.

Picking up the phone and holding it to her left ear, Chen Xiaoyan clearly thought it was some business coming in, so she pricked up her ears, wanting to hear some news as well.

"Hello, is this Ms. Qin?"

"Yes, that's me. And who are you?"

"Oh, I'm a salesperson from Imperial Capital No. 1 Courtyard. A Mr. Zhang arranged for you to buy a 450-square-meter apartment here. Let's schedule a time to complete the formalities."

"Hiss—" Chen Xiaoyan's expression changed drastically. "President Zhang, which President Zhang? How could he give Qin Yaling an apartment in No. 1 Courtyard? Apartments there cost around 300,000 yuan per square meter. Isn't this one close to 150 million yuan?"

This was a big deal, and Qin Yaling wished she could get it done as soon as she arrived in the capital today, but time didn't allow it. By the time they arrived in the capital, it would definitely be evening. So she made an appointment with the other party to go to the sales office the next morning to get it done. After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiaoyan asked her what was going on without waiting for a moment, and who was General Manager Zhang?
"Yaling, could it be that Mr. Zhang we had dinner with last time? He's so cautious about investing 5 million, how could he possibly buy you a house in No. 1 Courtyard?"

Knowing that she had overheard and that she couldn't hide it from her, Qin Yaling replied, "No, he was probably talking about Zhang Ziqian. Chen Xiao bought the house."

Wow! Chen Xiaoyan felt even more resentful now; the joy of receiving 500 million yuan had vanished. However, she didn't blame Chen Xiao, after all, 500 million yuan wasn't a small amount. She could only blame herself for having a boyfriend before who took her virginity, while Qin Yaling had high standards and had never had a boyfriend.

Chen Xiaoyan knew that Chen Xiao had given her so much because of a combination of factors. Qin Yaling was the school beauty, a virgin, and very pretty; she had also endured immense pressure last night.

"Yaling, you've hit the jackpot in one fell swoop. Why bother being a celebrity? Once you sell the house, you'll be financially independent."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyan paused for a moment, "No, you are already financially independent now. You have the Junxiao Hotel Group's Diamond VIP card, so you can eat and stay at the Junxiao Hotel every day."

"Also, you must maintain your relationship with Chen Xiao. He seems to have quite a few women around him, but you're different. You were the school beauty in high school, which is a beautiful memory for men. As long as you keep in touch with him and maintain this relationship, you'll be set for life, and I can benefit from it too."

Qin Yaling nodded shyly. Of course she wouldn't break off contact with him. After all, he was her crush in high school, and now that they had this relationship, how could she possibly cut it off?

"Yaling, I never expected Chen Xiao's girlfriend to be so beautiful. I thought Zhang Ziqian was the pinnacle of beauty, but who knew there was always something beyond that. Yes, Zhao Xiangjun is the pinnacle. Others can only compete for the pinnacle, but she is the pinnacle."

It was a bit of a shame that neither Zhao Xiangjun nor He Qing seemed to be suited to the indoor swimming pool and gym. Chen Xiao led them around, mainly showing Xiangjun every corner of the 58th floor. He Qing had been there many times and was very familiar with every place.

Zhao Hui's Glory 009 arrived at Xishan Linyu. After getting out of the car, he found a Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked in his own garage, which was quite strange. It couldn't possibly belong to President Chen, could it? His car wouldn't be parked in his own garage, which could fit 20 cars.

He peeked closer and saw that there was someone inside. The person, who had been sleeping in the passenger seat, jumped up with a start when they saw someone outside, pushed open the car door like a thief caught red-handed, and whispered, "Ah Hui~!"

He frowned. "Wang Yan, what are you doing? Whose car is this?"

Wang Yan blushed. Even in front of her husband, it was embarrassing to be seen huddled in the car like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden. So she didn't answer the first part of the question, only selectively responding to the second part.

When Zhao Hui learned that the car was a gift from Chen Xiao, he wasn't too surprised. A Rolls-Royce was like a cabbage to President Chen.

"Let's go, hurry back. Aren't we having guests coming over for dinner tonight? They haven't arrived yet."

Wang Yan said, "Yes, my eldest uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle will all be coming over tonight."

"So many people?" Zhao Hui wasn't complaining about the number of people, but he was worried that Chen Xiao would also be coming over that evening, and these people might not know how to talk properly and upset Chen Xiao.

Now that he's been in a high position for a long time, he's become increasingly careful about these things. Although Chen Xiao treats him like a brother, he's paying more attention to things than before.

Upon entering the house, Zhao's uncles hadn't arrived yet, and he was just about to ask them the time when his father's phone rang. The uncles had all arrived outside the complex, but without giving any instructions from inside the villa, the security guards wouldn't let them in.

Zhao Hui immediately sent a message to Chen Xiao to report that he had arrived home. At this moment, Chen Xiao was leading Xiang Jun and He Qing downstairs. Upon seeing the message, he smiled and said to Xiang Jun, "Your brother seems eager to get home. He was just saying not long ago that he was busy with work, and he's already home in just over two hours."

Zhao Xiangjun sat in the back of the bulletproof Maybach. He Qing originally wanted to sit in the front, leaving the back seat for Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao stopped her, saying, "You sit in the back, I'll sit in the front passenger seat. I'll serve the two leaders today."

He Qing noticed that Chen Xiao was treating her differently than before; he was joking with her more often now. He used to be quite serious, but He Qing felt that they were more like family now, and she was quite fond of that feeling.

The Maybach drove smoothly, surrounded by four bodyguard vehicles. Since the Shanghai incident, Chen Xiao had significantly increased security for everyone around him.

Although the Syrian group was wiped out by the combined forces, and its leader was killed on the spot, the employer's identity was still not found. The man was very cunning and seemed to have anticipated that Chen Xiao would use his hired forces to track him down, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The two girls I met in Shanghai last time went to Cape Town, stayed for two days, and then went to Dubai. This made it easier for the "Blue Star Guardians" to investigate their situation. But then something funny happened: the two of them actually got jobs at Zhifei Aerospace's factory in Dubai.

Chen Xiao was starting to have doubts. Were they really alright? Was there nothing wrong with them that day when his whereabouts were exposed?

The Mr. Zhang I met at both Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe in Junxiao City seemed rather suspicious. He went abroad after that and hasn't returned since.

However, according to the information sent by Zhang Ziqian, this Mr. Zhang has been in the United States since leaving China, and today he took a plane to Dubai.

Goodness, now all we need to do is keep a close eye on whether he meets those two girls again.

Zhang Ziqian also provided a piece of information: the widow of that Mr. Qiao went insane because her son went in to operate the sewing machine, and she was recently taken away, supposedly to Cape Town.

Who picked her up? Could it have been one of those miners who invested in Wansheng Group? Logically speaking, while President Qiao was alive, she was still valuable to them as their front man. Now that President Qiao is gone, would they still take such good care of his widow? Would they still fight to the death for him?

Those miners are indeed capable. Hassan has already had them closely monitored and has begun to pressure them from all angles. Regardless of whether this matter is related to them or not, just the fact that they invested in Wanshang Group and opposed Chen Xiao makes cracking down on them not considered harming innocent people.

"Chen Xiao, what are you thinking about? I've called you so many times."

"Ah—" Chen Xiao then turned her head, "I'm thinking about what name to give the baby."

Zhao Xiangjun would never believe him; the two knew each other too well, and she could tell he was just spouting nonsense. "I'm asking you, there will be a lot of people tonight, are you still going?"

Chen Xiao laughed, knowing immediately that she didn't want to go. "I'm not afraid of people, so let it be. If you don't want to go, just stay home, no one will blame you anyway."

She immediately became happy, "The main thing is that He Qing hasn't recovered yet, and I have to take care of her. You bunch of alcoholics drinking while I sit there, it's uncomfortable for us all."

Chen Xiao naturally agreed, "It's alright, my Xiangjun can do whatever she wants. I'm working so hard so that you can do whatever you want."

Zhao Xiangjun turned to He Qing and said, "Look at his mouth, he can spout sweet words without batting an eye. If we're talking about hard work, shouldn't it be Xu Wu, Gao Yue, and He Qing who are working hard? You're just a hands-off manager, what are you talking about working hard for?"

"You can't say that. I'm their pillar of support. Ask them if they would have no energy to do anything without me."

That's true. If he were gone, the world would collapse for Junxiao Group and the Chen family. From this perspective, Chen Xiao really is the pillar of this family.

"Alright, alright, you win. You have a right to be lazy."

Zhao Xiangjun was used to bickering with him, exchanging a few words no matter if she was right or wrong. He Qing was already used to it. Listening to the two of them bickering, He Qing covered her mouth and chuckled. This was a daily routine for the Chen family.

Chen Xiao had just arrived home with Xiang Jun and He Qing when Zhao Hui came over. Clearly, he had been keeping an eye on things from home. (End of Chapter)
