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

With a determined look, she declared, "The boss of Junxiao Group is my brother-in-law!"

*Snap* The middle-aged man's cigar went out. He was just taking out his DeWitt cigar lighter to light it when he heard this, and he immediately dropped the lighter on the carpet.

The boss of Junxiao Group? Is he his brother-in-law?
This news made the people around him gasp. Was he bragging or was it true?

If it's just bragging, then it's really daring to brag; but if this is true, then it's truly amazing.

The middle-aged man was clearly shocked by the news and asked seriously, "Is this true? This joke is not funny. If the boss of Junxiao Group is your brother-in-law, he only needs to say one word, and you won't have to pay a single penny for today's losses. I'll cover all the drinks you have here from now on. I just want to get to know him."

That's great? I can come here every night and party without having to pay anything. But getting Chen Xiao to come and introduce me is a real problem. How could I possibly get this big shot to come? He probably wouldn't even look at me.

Therefore, he dared not respond to the middle-aged man. Just then, hearing a noise outside, Zhao Hui's voice came, "Excuse me!"

Now that he has been in a high position for a long time, he exudes an aura of authority even without anger. The security personnel of Shang K involuntarily stepped aside and watched as Zhao Hui was with a refined and handsome young man, followed by two burly men who were obviously bodyguards.

"They've got quite a background!" That was everyone's first reaction.

Upon seeing Zhao Hui, Zhao Liang immediately stood up: "Brother Hui~!" His savior had arrived, and he was no longer afraid.

Upon hearing Zhao Liang's address, the middle-aged man recognized him as the vice president of Junxiao Commercial Management and stood up, saying, "President Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you!" He then extended his hand.

Zhao Hui shook hands with him. At this moment, another person walked out from behind Zhao Hui. The middle-aged man's gaze sharpened, which puzzled Chen Xiao. Could it be that he had an aura of dominance? He had been very low-key, so why could this person see that he was not simple at a glance?

The bodyguards were specially arranged to impersonate Zhao Hui's guards. At that moment, Zhao Liang saw him and exclaimed with wild joy, "Brother-in-law!"

The middle-aged man, with a solemn expression, stepped forward and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"

Zhao Hui glared angrily at Zhao Liang. This bastard was brazenly using Chen Xiao's identity everywhere. Chen Xiao was usually low-key, and for his safety, Zhao Hui and the others hoped he would keep a low profile as well. Anyway, he didn't need to be involved in the company's affairs, and he didn't need others to know about him.

Chen Xiao touched hands with the middle-aged man. Now that the other man knew him, there was no need for him to pretend to be a stranger anymore. He asked directly, "How do you plan to handle today's matter?"

He didn't even ask what happened; he went straight to the middle-aged man's attitude.

The middle-aged man quickly said, "Mr. Chen, we made a mountain out of a molehill today. It's no big deal if one private room is damaged; we can just fix it. Mr. Zhao and I became friends after this little misunderstanding."

He acted as if it were all a small matter, the main thing being to make a friend. Even though he knew his true identity, his handling of the situation was normal; anyone with a brain wouldn't argue over a few tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan in front of him.

Chen Xiao didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he said to the people behind him, "Transfer 100 million to them." Then he said to the middle-aged man, "Is that alright?"

"No need—", Chen Xiao interrupted her as soon as she said "no need", "Do as I say".

The middle-aged man dared not speak further. He understood Chen Xiao's meaning: he didn't want to owe anyone a favor. He could understand; even he himself, let alone someone like Chen Xiao, wouldn't do someone a favor for such a small amount of money.

"Mr. Chen, it's a bit chaotic here. How about we move to the private room I reserved for VIPs? We can have a couple of drinks and call up our prettiest lady to sing a couple of songs?"

He smiled and said, "No need, you beauties don't appeal to me at all."

Then he said to Zhao Hui, "Let's go, the company will host us later. Bring him over here, this boss is quite interesting."

The middle-aged man was overjoyed. "Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Chen." Seeing Chen Xiao turn to leave, he quickly chased after him, asking, "Mr. Chen, may I add you on WeChat?"

Chen Xiao didn't stop walking, as if he hadn't heard. Zhao Hui called out to Zhao Liang, "Hurry up and go home," and then followed Chen Xiao out, saying to the middle-aged man, "Let's add each other on WeChat. Mr. Chen doesn't add outsiders on WeChat."

This middle-aged man was a man of influence, and Zhao Hui was mindful of his feelings; otherwise, people of his caliber wouldn't have caught his eye.

Zhao Liang stood up and said to the middle-aged man, "Will it be free for me to come from now on?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "It's all free, and I'll cover all your expenses." He was even paying for his younger sister's expenses.

Zhao Liang was overjoyed, and he didn't care that the other party was only doing it because of Chen Xiao. At this moment, Zhao Hui returned and said to the middle-aged man, "By the way, my cousin, don't let him step into this store again. If he comes in again, you can break his legs. I guarantee no one will bother you."

After saying that, Zhao Hui turned and left, leaving Zhao Liang heartbroken. He had just been thinking about enjoying free nights of revelry here, but now he wouldn't even be able to come back.

The middle-aged man knew this was Chen Xiao's intention, and immediately agreed: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao, I will give instructions that from now on, Mr. Zhao will be an unwelcome customer of ours, and we will resolutely prevent him from entering the store."

Damn it! Zhao Liang really wanted to smash up the store again, but he knew that if he caused trouble again, Zhao Hui would deal with him without anyone else even needing to help him.

After they all left, the middle-aged man returned to his office and sent a message: "Boss, I saw Chen Xiao—and even made contact with someone close to him."

After a while, a message replied: "Keep it in place, and don't alert him yet. His security is very strong, so don't make a move unless you're absolutely certain."

In Chen Xiao's car, Zhao Hui's expression was very serious. "Mr. Chen, I'll deal with Zhao Liang."

If Zhao Liang were using his own name, Zhao Hui would at most just scold him and let it go. But if he were using Chen Xiao's name, that would touch a nerve with Zhao Hui. Damaging Chen Xiao's reputation would be one thing, but it would also expose Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun to those with ulterior motives, causing them a lot of trouble, especially since they are usually very private.

Chen Xiao smiled faintly, "I can't hide my identity anymore, but Zhao Liang really needs to be taught a lesson. Cut off his source of income, and the Zhao family should not stand up for him in the future."

Zhao Hui nodded heavily. His original thought was even more ruthless. He hated that Zhao Liang was using Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun's names in public, which he absolutely could not tolerate.

"This boss is interesting tonight—"

Zhao Hui understood what he meant; he was also somewhat surprised when his boss called him "General Manager Chen." Chen Xiao had never been here before, and it was unlikely that someone of his status and circle would know anything about Chen Xiao.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this person greatly admires Junxiao Group and deliberately seeks out information, such as the recent popular lighthearted drama "He Who Came From the Sun," in which Chen Xiao made a cameo appearance, instantly making many people remember the profile of the boss of Junxiao Group.

"I'll investigate this more thoroughly later."

"It's okay, don't worry about it too much. I can't possibly care about how other people know me. More and more people know me now, and my face has probably been circulated quite a bit. Maybe he saw it somewhere by chance."

Zhao Hui nodded. Zhao Liang mentioned that his brother-in-law was the owner of Junxiao Group, and anyone who had seen Chen Xiao's profile should have recognized him when they first saw him. He then felt resentment towards Zhao Liang again. He had originally thought that if Zhao Liang could change his ways, he would give him another chance. Who knew that instead of improving, he had become a spoiled brat.

A spoiled brat? Zhao Liang doesn't even deserve that title. He's only had a few good days, and he's already acting like this. Isn't that just pathetic?

Chen Xiao did not return to the Zhao family, so he was unaware that Zhao Hui had informed his uncles about the events of the night before and solemnly told his third uncle, "From now on, the Zhao family will not provide Zhao Liang with any support, and your third uncle will not allow it either. Give him two months to find a job. During these two months, your third uncle can give him 5000 yuan per month for living expenses, and after that, he is not allowed to receive a single penny."

Upon hearing about Zhao Liang's actions that evening, the uncles all wore serious expressions, even Zhao's father's face turned icy. It was bad enough that he caused trouble, but how could he use Xiang Jun and Chen Xiao's names? None of the uncles spoke up for Zhao Liang anymore; if he didn't pull back from the brink, it would definitely lead to very serious consequences.

Uncle San wept bitterly, lamenting how he had given birth to such a worthless son. With Xiangjun and Zhao Hui's support, the Zhao family had such excellent opportunities for development, yet Zhao Liang not only failed to seize them and focus on his own growth, but instead began to tarnish the reputation of the Zhao family and even the Chen family. Today it was Zhao Hui's outburst, but what if President Chen were to get angry next time? Thinking of this, Uncle San felt a chill run down his spine, and he sobered up considerably.

“Third Uncle, I believe you have realized the seriousness of the matter. Before he causes a major disaster, we must be ruthless. I know you have always been soft-hearted, especially since you have spoiled Zhao Liang since he was a child, but this time it’s not just your family that will be affected. If it is detrimental to Xiangjun in any way, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

The word "ruthless" was spoken with chilling intent and murderous aura. Uncle San turned pale and couldn't utter a single word.

The eldest uncle sighed: "Third brother, do as Ahui says. I believe you know what's important."

Zhao Hui added, “Third Uncle, if you can’t make up your mind, I’ll do it for you. From now on, apart from the 5000 yuan per month for the first two months, if you give Zhao Liang any more support, I will cut off all your family’s sources of income.”

Uncle San's hand, gripping the chopsticks, was trembling. With all his sources of income cut off, he'd be back to square one, with no chance of ever turning his life around again.

“However, Third Uncle, I can also assure you that I will help Zhao Liang when he turns over a new leaf, but only once.” Zhao Hui wasn’t discussing this with him; this was his final decision. In the Zhao family, although Zhao Hui was a junior, his words undoubtedly carried the final judgment.

When Chen Xiao returned, he didn't tell Xiang Jun about Zhao Liang. He held her in his arms and slept soundly. He was so intoxicated by the alluring fragrance emanating from Xiang Jun that he didn't even have the heart to favor Wang Ping upstairs.

The next morning, Zhao Hui was summoned and Chen Xiao personally handed him the gift she had chosen for him—the Aurora "Diamond Light".

"The diamond in this pen takes 30 billion years to form underground before it shines, and the iridium nib is an aerospace material. May your future approvals be as precise as a satellite's orbit, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the entire situation."

Zhao Hui scratched his head, knowing that this pen had an extraordinary origin. He seemed to have heard Xu Jun or Liu Haoran mention it before, saying that Cha Lan had bought it at an auction and given it to Chen Xiao. If he remembered correctly, the price was 1100 million.

He certainly couldn't refuse. 1100 million might be extremely valuable to others, but to Chen Xiao, it was just a pen. "Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Xiao gestured to the sofa for him to sit on, and said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite to your brother-in-law—"

This prompted Xiangjun, who was sitting to the side, to stand up and say, "I'll go upstairs to check on He Qing. You two chat."

"This pen will make signing multi-billion dollar contracts feel more ceremonial in the future."

Zhao Hui knew that he had high hopes for him. He was Xiang Jun's older brother, while Chen Xiao was an only child. If they were to talk about peers, he was probably the closest to him.

Although Chen Xiao has other women, brothers-in-law, and other relatives, probably none of them can compare to Zhao Hui in status.

He heard that Xu Wu had already instructed Xu Jun to make plans ahead of time to quickly split Junxiao Commercial Management into three parts: Junxiao City, Junwu Plaza, and Junxiao City. Each of the three systems would be chaired by a different person to oversee all operations within that system.

Zhao Hui has basically been confirmed to be in charge of Junxiao Plaza, a super project with a fashionable and sophisticated positioning. The goal is to have more than 300 stores nationwide in the future, with an annual sales volume of no less than 5000 billion yuan and annual rental income of no less than 750 billion yuan.

I heard that Lin Ya is going to be in charge of the Junwu Plaza project. The future goal for this project is 50 super complexes, with an annual performance target of no less than 2000 billion yuan and annual rental income of no less than 400 billion yuan.

However, because Junwu Plaza has too few projects, there is now a suggestion to merge Junwu Plaza with Junxiaocheng and have Lin Ya take charge of both.

With this, plus the 19 Junxiaocheng projects, the annual performance target is no less than 2000 billion yuan, plus annual rental income of no less than 400 billion yuan. The region that Lin Ya is in charge of is similar to that of Zhao Hui, and the current general manager of the Junxiaocheng system is also approaching retirement age.

Zhao Hui felt that the group should ultimately lean towards the latter option. Firstly, this would allow for a quick adjustment of the organizational structure and prevent Lin Ya from having projects without operational periods. Secondly, such an important commercial entity as Junxiaocheng would inevitably end up in the hands of the Chen family. Therefore, the only ones who could take over at present were either Zhao Hui or Lin Ya.

"Alright, I knew it was your father-in-law's birthday today, so I called you over early this morning. I hope it won't interfere with your plans. If you don't have enough vehicles, ask Ziqian to help you arrange one."

Back home, Wang Yan was ready to depart. They arranged for vehicles to pick everyone up and take them to the dock, where the yacht staff greeted them and helped them board the yacht.

Seeing that Zhao Hui had brought back a fountain pen, Wang Yan quickly called her son over: "Perfect timing, my son's pen broke, this one of yours looks good, let him use it."

"Go away, go away. What kind of terrible ideas are you coming up with?"

Zhao Hui went upstairs and carefully put the pen away. Downstairs, his son asked Wang Yan, "Am I his own son? He can't even part with a pen?"

Wang Yan patted his head: "It's okay, Mom will buy you something better."

Chen Xiao was on the phone with Ma Jian. Last night, because things were handled quickly, Chen Xiao and his team finished before Ma Jian even arrived, so they told Ma Jian not to come.

Today, Ma Jian called to ask about last night's events, clamoring that he should go and cause trouble for the other party. Zhao Xiao realized that this guy had clearly been corrupted by Luffy; he was starting to show violent tendencies and liked to cause trouble.

Yesterday's incident was caused by Zhao Liang. The boss neither abused his power nor deliberately made things difficult for him. Chen Xiao thought the other party was decent, otherwise he wouldn't have asked someone to give him 100 million, 20 as compensation, and the remaining 80 as a reward.

Tell Ma Jian to calm down. The boss seems nice; he'll do more business with him in the future. This really confused Ma Jian. When did he manage to not only escape unscathed after a conflict with Chen Xiao, but also have Chen Xiao put in a good word for him? This boss is something else. He really should go there more often. The girls here are all top-notch, and as a single man, Ma Jian can't help but feel restless.
-
Wang Jian was furious. His prestigious Huadi Group had come to Jiangzhou to invest, only to be met with a cold shoulder. This was an investment of nearly 100 billion yuan! In any other city, they would be treated like royalty, but here they were being humiliated.

The land he had negotiated with last time had already been confirmed with the Economic Development Zone, and he had reported back to his father, who believed that Jiangzhou had a complete upstream and downstream supply chain, a good business environment, and was suitable for investment. This time, he came with great sincerity, hoping to finalize the deal as soon as possible. However, when he arrived, he heard news that he could not accept—the land he had previously set his sights on had been acquired by Junxing Automobile.

"When we were negotiating that land, Junxing Motors hadn't even started negotiating yet, right?" Wang Jian asked, looking displeased.

"Yes, so now that Junxing Motors has made the request, we've given it to them."

Damn it, what kind of answer is this? Doesn't he understand what I mean? He meant that he negotiated first, and everyone agreed, so how could he give it to Junxing Motors?

“But we talked first,” Wang Jian said, his tone turning sour.

"Yes, but Junxing Motors wanted it, so we have no choice but to give it to them."

"Damn it!" Wang Jian stood up angrily. "Mr. Li, this is an investment of tens of billions of yuan. No matter which city we go to, we will not be treated so poorly."

“I know, but the other party is Junxing Motors.”

Could you come up with another reason? Repeating the same thing was driving Wang Jian crazy. He knew Junxiao Group was powerful in Jiangzhou, but they were Huadi Group; didn't they have any pride?
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Mr. Li, I'll compromise. We'll take the other piece of land I chose last time, but we'll need more support in terms of tax policies."

"Mr. Wang, that piece of land is gone too."

Wang Jian was taken aback. What did that mean? It had only been a short time, and that piece of land...

"Junxing Motors needs to build two super smart factories at the same time, and that land has also been given to Junxing Motors."

I'm starting to question my sanity. Has Junxing Motors lost its mind? They only have one model so far, and I heard there will be two more before the end of the year, but that's only three models in total. What were they thinking, building four super smart factories? Isn't this a serious case of overcapacity? Isn't this a classic example of being rich and willful?

A single super smart factory has an annual production capacity of 200,000 units. With four of them, the annual output can reach 800,000 units. Even at full capacity, operating in three shifts, they can achieve a production capacity of approximately 1.2 to 1.4 million units. Where does Junxing Motors get its confidence? Wang Jian believes that no matter how good Junxing Motors is, if they can achieve monthly sales of 40,000 units by the end of the year, that would already be incredibly impressive. How dare they build such a super factory?

Wang Jian looked at Boss Li. He was here to invest, not to beg. Last time he came, he received unprecedented hospitality, so why was he being treated so coldly this time? Did he come here with 100 billion to be humiliated?
He stood up, looked at the map on the wall, pointed, and said, "Mr. Li, let's go with this one."

This piece of land is more remote, and there are hardly any people around. It might be a bit troublesome to recruit workers. But Wang Jian has already reported to his father. If he can't even negotiate a deal with the investment he brought with him, wouldn't he lose face for himself, his father, and the group?

He's already been so humble and conciliatory, surely Mr. Li will give him face. Mr. Li walked to the side and sighed: "To be honest, our Economic Development Zone can't offer any more land to Huadi Group, it's a pity."

Wang Jian frowned. Such a large district, and they can't even offer any space to Huadi Group? Are you kidding me? But he really couldn't understand why they would refuse.

要知道，这年产30万辆整车工厂可直接贡献年产值300-400亿元，能带动上下游产业链新增产值约1:3.2。

The annual contribution of value-added tax/corporate income tax is approximately 13-20 billion yuan. It can also directly create 8000-12000 technical jobs.

That's not all; it can also drive investment in the renovation of port/railway lines, increase the annual income of industrial workers' families from 6 to over 10, and improve the retention rate of local university students.

With so many benefits, any city would be vying for it, but when it came to Boss Li, he said there was no land left. This was simply the most ridiculous thing Wang Jian had ever encountered.

He remained silent, waiting for Mr. Li's explanation. Mr. Li understood Wang Jian's resentment and invited him to sit down, apologetically saying, "To be honest, the land here has been consolidated and is going to be given to Junxiao Group."

"Junxiao Group again?" Wang Jian couldn't help but say angrily, "Are you kidding me? How many cars do they produce? Including the previous two factories, that's already four super factories, and they still want to acquire land? I'm starting to doubt their motives. Are they targeting my Huadi?"

They've acquired so much land; aren't they just occupying a position without contributing anything? This will inevitably cause irreparable damage to the local area. Mr. Li really needs to think twice before acting in this regard.

Unexpectedly, his comment that Junxiao Group was "occupying a position without doing its job" caused Mr. Li's expression to suddenly turn cold: "Mr. Wang may not understand Junxiao Group." (End of Chapter)
