After this incident, He Qing insisted on going to work. Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun originally wanted her to rest for a while longer, but He Qing said that she wasn't overworked in the office and didn't need medication anymore; she just needed to rest. She felt that handling some work moderately in the office was better than staying at home and being anxious, and it was more conducive to her recovery.

Chen Xiao naturally supported Zhao Xiangjun's arrangement for the stall owner, and asked Xiangjun to ask Lin Ya to arrange a preferential rental condition for the owner so that he could earn more money and help more people in need in the future.

That night, Chen Xiao didn't go to see Wang Ping again. He knew that although Xiang Jun didn't say anything, the little girl's story had deeply moved her. Her childhood hadn't been easy, but compared to this little girl, it was much better.

Chen Xiao held her close, letting her lie in his arms, and waited for her to fall asleep slowly, like coaxing a child.

The next day, early in the morning. Xiangjun got up early. She usually wore home clothes at home, but today she wore a cheongsam, obviously because she was going out again.

Are you going out? Do you want me to come with you?

He shook his head. "No need, you go about your business. I'll go to Yunfeng Building with He Qing."

Knowing that it must have been something about that little girl yesterday that spurred her to become interested in charity and want to help more people, Chen Xiao laughed, "He Qing is really something. I couldn't even get the boss's wife to come, but she lured her away with ease."

Zhao Xiangjun was in a better mood today. "I'm not going to work. I'm just going to keep an eye on He Qing so she doesn't overwork herself."

"Alright, alright, you can make your own arrangements, just be careful about safety."

At this moment, He Qing also came downstairs after changing her clothes, followed by Wang Ping. Chen Xiao asked, "He Qing, is 50 billion enough? Do you want to add another 50 billion?"

Wang Ping stumbled and almost fell.

He Qing knew Chen Xiao was half-joking. Five billion wasn't something to be spent so easily; she was doing charity, not just throwing money around. This money was meant to be spent on those in need. Chen Xiao was just teasing her because of yesterday's events. How much could that little girl possibly need? 50,000 yuan a year would be enough.

Wang Ping still drives her Porsche to and from get off work every day, but she certainly wouldn't let the opportunity to hitch a ride with Xiang Jun pass her by. Cultivating a good relationship with Xiang Jun could determine her future status in the Chen family; just look at He Qing, that little sister is now practically the apple of everyone's eye in the Chen family.

58th Floor, Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center

Chen Xiao spent several hours in Xu Wu's office, holding her in his arms and engaging in passionate lovemaking in the lounge. He had been holding Xiang Jun last night, which had been driving him crazy. Fortunately, Xu Wu was there for him and came back today.

She even knew that Xiangjun went to Yunfeng Building today. Chen Xiao was surprised to learn that they had a group chat for the Chen family army. Xiangjun was quite active in the group now, which was different from her usual quiet demeanor in real life. She probably felt that as the eldest sister, there were some things she had to do even if she didn't like them.

"The pre-sales of Junxing M8 are going quite well. In particular, with Junxiao Group's investment in chips and top universities recently trending on social media, the number of small orders for Junxing M8 has reached 60,000, and it is expected to exceed 100,000 before the launch event. Based on the normal conversion rate of small orders to large orders, it is definitely not a problem to exceed 50%. It is estimated that the production capacity of Junxing M8 will be fully booked again this year."

The Junxing M7 and Junxing M8 share many interchangeable parts. The strong sales of these two models will amortize many parts and R&D costs, so Junxing Motors is very likely to be able to make a profit next year.

"Xiao Yuting's performance was quite good; our CEO Chen certainly has an excellent eye for talent—"

Chen Xiao grabbed her butt and pinched it, saying, "If we're talking about the best choice, it's definitely choosing such a capable CEO."

Chen Xiao hadn't initially planned to expand the company to such a large scale; he wasn't short of money, and the company wasn't his primary source of income. However, as events unfolded, Junxiao Group gradually deviated from its initial vision. But now, it's all turned out well—a lucky accident. He invested all the money in fixed assets and high-tech research and development, giving his enormous funds a purpose and providing an explanation for their origins in the future.

After withdrawing from the situation, Chen Xiao returned to his office and received a message from Ma Jian.

Zhao Hui came back, and Liu Haoran also came back in the last couple of days. Ma Jian wanted to organize a get-together for everyone, so he called the boss to ask if he had time.

Chen Xiao had an extraordinary affection for these old brothers, so he wouldn't refuse them and let them make the arrangements. He called Cha Lan and Li Guoqiang together that night.

Gao Lei is quite capable. Although he lost the order from Zhifei Aerospace, he still managed to secure some other business collaborations during his time in Jiangzhou. This was also thanks to his experience as a supplier for Zhifei Aerospace, which to some extent demonstrates that his quality control is reliable. After all, Zhifei Aerospace is one of the leading companies in Jiangzhou, and it is the company with the closest cooperation with Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, without exception.

Thanks to these orders, his factory, which he had originally planned to close, was revitalized. It seems that even without the cooperation with Zhifei Aerospace, Jiangzhou will remain his base. With companies like Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, Zhifei Aerospace, Junxing Automotive, and Shanyun Automotive, Jiangzhou's technology manufacturing industry is experiencing explosive growth, and business opportunities are everywhere.

He excitedly called his fellow villager, Zhang Bin, who was also the henchman he had originally planned to take in. He told him the good news: the factory didn't need to be transferred, and he should hold on for a while longer, at most a month, until the factory could resume operations and his salary could be paid normally again.

But Zhang Bin's reply left him dumbfounded. "Mr. Gao, no need, we've already found jobs. I'm a team leader at Junxing Auto's super smart factory."

When Zhang Ziqian asked Xiao Yuting to arrange for him and his wife to join Junxing Automotive, it was the factory manager of the super intelligent factory who personally called to make the arrangements. At the time, he didn't know who this "General Manager Xiao" Zhang Ziqian had contacted was. But after arriving and making some inquiries, he learned that she was actually the executive director and vice president of Junxing Automotive Group. He was overjoyed, almost fainting from happiness. This was a super powerful connection! What more could he ask for? With this connection, and by joining a subsidiary of Junxing Group, it was practically a blessing from his ancestors.

Gao Lei wants him to come out now? How could that be? Wouldn't that just get me into trouble? What fellow villager? Get lost!

Gao Lei was surprised that the other party had gone to Junxing Motors. He was still trying to persuade him, saying, "Although Junxing Motors is a good company, the competition in that kind of company is also quite fierce, and it is difficult to stand out. It will be different if you follow me. I am the boss, and you will be able to reach a very high level in the future."

To my surprise, Zhang Bin smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm content now and don't want to improve anymore. Thank you!"

Content with what he has, no longer wanting to improve? Little did he know that Zhang Bin and his wife's current treatment was almost double what Gao Lei had promised. Moreover, the employees of Junxiao Group had excellent benefits, so who would want to follow a small boss like Gao Lei who was both poor and pretentious?

Gao Lei was feeling down and wanted to find someone to drink with, but who could he ask in Jiangzhou? Xu Guang? But his circle excluded him. How about Li Shanshan? Yes, she's a classmate and a beautiful girl. Let's make an appointment.

Meanwhile, Li Shanshan was on the phone with Wang Ping. She had spent the whole day on the yacht yesterday, initially thinking it was Chen Xiao who had gone. However, after inquiring with Wang Ping, she learned that it was Chen Xiao's brother-in-law celebrating his father-in-law's birthday. Li Shanshan still led her team to provide a high-level reception.

I was talking to Wang Ping about these things on the phone today. When I mentioned the various amazing scenes my rural relatives experienced on the yacht, she laughed and said, "When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If they weren't Mr. Chen's brother-in-law, these people would never have been able to enjoy such a feast in their lives. They drank 82 Lafite like it was spring water and Romanée-Conti like it was iced tea."

"Wang Ping, I'm free today, I'll come to your company to hang out."

"No, no—", Wang Ping quickly refused. It's definitely inappropriate for Li Shanshan to come since the landlady is here today. Several other members of the Chen family are also coming; they all know He Qing and Xiang Jun are here, partly to meet with Xiang Jun and partly to visit He Qing.

"It's not convenient today, but I'll try to make time for you in the next couple of days."

After a regretful end to the call with Wang Ping, Li Shanshan received a call from Gao Lei. To be honest, Li Shanshan was a little scared, or rather, a little annoyed by him. She was afraid he would ask her about He Qing, who was President Chen's woman, and someone he dared to even think about. How could she dare to help him? Wouldn't that be courting death? Besides, she was quite close to He Qing and Wang Ping, so of course she would help them. Who did Gao Lei think he was?

"Junior sister, don't worry, I won't ask you about He Qing anymore. I've given up." Li Shanshan didn't answer the phone, and then she received this message from Gao Lei.

Unexpectedly, he was quite pragmatic. If that's the case, since they're all alumni, Li Shanshan doesn't need to avoid him. After all, Gao Lei is doing quite well, and she might need his help in the future.

She called Gao Lei back, and he said that business expansion had been going well recently, and he was now free. He didn't know anyone else in Jiangzhou, so he invited her to have dinner and chat. Li Shanshan felt bad about avoiding him, and since he wasn't asking her to help him find He Qing, she figured she might as well meet him.

This was Zhao Xiangjun's first time entering the Yunfeng Building. Unlike the Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center, which had its own dedicated elevator, this building didn't have one; everyone used the same elevator, which was a bit inconvenient. She entered the lobby on the first floor with He Qing and Wang Ping, and everyone around them turned to look at them.

A man with a gold chain around his neck walked over and said to Xiangjun from inside the turnstile, "Beautiful lady, let's get to know each other and become friends?"

He dragged a gleaming gold chain around his neck, as if flaunting his wealth. Xiangjun didn't even glance at him; encountering such eccentric individuals was common for her, and she simply ignored them. The man exclaimed, "Hey, beautiful lady, you've got quite the personality. You've successfully piqued my interest."

Just as he was about to follow, he suddenly felt a blow to the back of his knee. Before he could react, someone grabbed him by the neck and pressed him to the ground. A clear, girlish voice said, "You country bumpkin, you've caught my attention. If you don't get out of here, I'll make you crawl out of here."

"You...you...let go! Do you know who I am?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped on the head, seeing stars. "If you say another word, I'll cripple you—" Xiao Wu's voice turned cold. The female soldier, forged in the crucible of gunfire, exuded a murderous aura that sent chills down the man's spine. He had a feeling that if she wanted to, her small hand could snap his neck in one swift motion.

"Xiao Wu, let's go—", Zhao Xiangjun called out, and Yan Yue and the others had already surrounded her.

Xiao Wu released the man with the gold chain and shoved him so hard he fell flat on his face. "Consider yourself lucky. Be more careful in the future. You can't mess with just anyone."

The man in the gold chain noticed that Zhao Xiangjun was surrounded by five or six people like Xiao Wu, and there might be more inside the elevator. A chill ran down his spine. He immediately realized that she was accompanied by a group of bodyguards—who were these people? He was truly frightened! He Qing sighed. Chen Xiao had previously thought providing bodyguards for everyone was unnecessary, but now it seemed absolutely necessary. If it weren't for Yan Yue and the others, it would have been another mess. There are always many blind people in the world. Plus, with such beautiful women, both gentlemen and scoundrels are attracted to them; things like this happen all the time.

No one at the Junxiao Charity Foundation knew Zhao Xiangjun, but seeing He Qing accompanying her, they knew that this great beauty was of extraordinary status.

"Mr. He, Mr. Wang—"

"Hello, Mr. He~!"

Along the way, He Qing nodded slightly to her colleagues, and only began to discuss them after they entered the office:
"My God, who is that beautiful woman? She's so gorgeous! I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"

"It's probably not just about looking good. Did you see that? There's a whole group of bodyguards with him, more than Mr. He usually brings. What does that mean? Think about it."

He Qing's bodyguards, like Zhao Xiangjun's, are all female. Her colleagues can tell at a glance that her bodyguards are of a higher rank than He Qing's, which means that she is of a more esteemed status than He Qing.

"Sister, would you like to see your office?"

Zhao Xiangjun shook her head. "What do you mean, my office? That was all Chen Xiao's nonsense. He put me in the title of chairman, but I can't even do a good job as a sales assistant."

He Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, "I heard that you were a top salesperson back then, and you sold half of the store's sales by yourself."

"That's not my skill," she meant, implying that it wasn't her sales ability, but rather that she had too many admirers who wanted to get close to her and buy from her.

When Xiangjun arrived, she sat down on the sofa and said, "He Qing, you go about your business and don't worry about me. Just handle the important things and don't overwork yourself." She didn't even bother to tour the office.

He Qing understood her personality; she could stay quietly all day, but she wasn't used to having someone accompany her. So she went to handle her work on her own. She hadn't been here for a while, and a lot of things needed her approval. When she was at home, she handled some simple ones on her mobile office system, but some reports required sitting down to review. Zhao Xiangjun was worried that she was overworking herself, so she didn't allow her to do them. Today, she came to finish those cases.

We'll be staying here all day. Bai Lu and Xiao Yuting will be coming over at noon, and we'll have lunch together at Tianxing Pavilion. We notified the owner of Lao Cai Restaurant to come and cook when we left this morning.

Hearing that Zhao Xiangjun, who hadn't been seen in a long time, was here today, Lao Cai was overjoyed. This was much rarer than President Chen's appearance, and she was also the boss's wife. So Lao Cai had to use all his skills and rushed over early in the morning to adjust the stove, afraid that any problem might affect the heat.

When the White Dew season arrived, Zhao Xiangjun went to the Sky Garden with her to get some fresh air. On the way, they stopped by Tianxing Pavilion. Old Cai was so nervous that his voice trembled as he asked, "President Zhao, didn't President Chen come today?"

After saying that, she almost wanted to slap herself. Was that a question she should have asked? Zhao Xiangjun didn't seem to care and said with a smile, "He wanted to come, but I declined. It's not appropriate for a grown man like him to come to our gathering today."

Old Cai gasped. Could it be some kind of palace intrigue? He couldn't get involved in this. He was just a cook; he should think about how to cook the food better so that this person would be satisfied with their meal.

Bai Lu asked softly, "Is Chen Xiao really coming?"

Zhao Xiangjun, of course, wouldn't lie. With her here, Chen Xiao felt incredibly itchy and wanted to come and have dinner with them. Zhao Xiangjun had already retorted to him, "Didn't you have a contract with Ma Jian? Aren't you afraid people will say you have no humanity but a woman?"

Chen Xiao later gave up. He had originally intended to come for lunch, and his appointment with Ma Jian was for the evening. But after thinking about it, he decided against it, wanting to give Xiang Jun a chance to build relationships with them. When he was there, he became the center of attention. His absence would make it easier for Xiang Jun to shine.

Since he couldn't go to Yunfeng Building, Chen Xiao had lunch and then went to Ma Jian's office.

As Chen Xiao entered the lobby, he ran into Zhang Ping, Han Xue's former roommate, who greeted him softly, "Hello, Mr. Chen!" Chen Xiao nodded and then remembered Han Xue, who was away on a business trip in Ningxi. Junxiao Retail had several large stores under renovation at the same time recently, and Han Xue personally visited each project site to inspect every detail. This was her work style—very meticulous.

"Are you still getting used to it here?"

"I'm so used to it!" Zhang Ping nodded vigorously. Dongjian Trading had developed rapidly this year. Although the company wasn't as powerful as Junxiao Group, it was definitely a leader in the retail industry. Ma Jian treated his employees well, and the compensation was basically the same as Junxiao Group's. Therefore, Zhang Ping was very satisfied with her job and cherished it very much.

"That's good. I'll invite you all to dinner together when Han Xue comes back."

Because he loved her so much, Chen Xiao probably wouldn't have even bothered with polite formalities with anyone else. So, even though Zhang Ping knew it was just a polite remark from Mr. Chen, she was still blushing with excitement, "Thank you, thank you so much, Mr. Chen!"

He waved for her to go about her business and went to Ma Jian's office. To welcome him, Ma Jian had canceled all his work for the afternoon, and Li Guoqiang was also waiting there early.

Where are you planning to take us to have some fun tonight?

What's it like at Zichen Palace International Club?

Zichen Palace International Club? Chen Xiao had just been there the day before yesterday. Wasn't that the place where Zhao Liang caused trouble? It was a business KTV club, and Chen Xiao wasn't very interested. Just as he was about to refuse, a system notification popped up in his mind. He clicked on it and was immediately stunned.

[Ding~ System has issued a mission: Tonight at the Zichen Palace International Club, there is a woman whose fate is intertwined with yours. Please find her.]

[Task Completion Instructions: Completion is achieved upon encountering the objective.]

[Task Rewards: Constitution +2, Stamina +4, Dedication +4]

Wow, there's a mission here? And a 4-point dedication bonus? That's pretty generous. I only ever got this much reward for my previous acquisitions worth hundreds of billions.

Destined to be bound to me? No way? What kind of female protagonist ends up in prostitution? Damn it, system, are you poisonous? I absolutely refuse, there's no way I'll let a prostitute into the Chen family.

Fortunately, the system didn't ask me to do anything specific, only that encountering someone would complete the task. That's easy! Just call all the beauties from the Zichen Palace International Club over tonight, including but not limited to the princesses and young ladies. As long as they're under 30, no, under 40, just have them go through the motions, and I'm guaranteed to encounter someone, right?

This is an easy question, easy to answer! Chen Xiao was full of confidence.

Just then, Li Guoqiang said, "Zichen Palace International Club, Mr. Ma, Mr. Chen won't go to that place, will he?" As he spoke, he glanced at the silent Chen Xiao, assuming that he was not interested.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao suddenly looked up: "Why not go? It's been a long time since I've sung karaoke, it would be good to experience it."

Li Guoqiang was surprised. He had two reasons for thinking Chen Xiao wouldn't go. First, he had so many beautiful women around him, far superior to the vulgar girls in the nightclub. Second, President Zhao, Chen's brother-in-law, would be there that night. It wouldn't be appropriate for Chen to flirt with girls in front of his brother-in-law.

But since President Chen agreed, he could only secretly admire President Chen's unbridled and carefree attitude.

“Ma Jian, let’s go a little earlier today. They start work at 6 o’clock, right? Let’s be there on time.”

Even Ma Jian was confused. Surely the boss wasn't that desperate? With so many beautiful wives, why would he be interested in those at the KTV? But since the boss had given the order, he could only do as he was told.

Then I heard Chen Xiao instructing Zhang Ziqian to have someone withdraw cash, to prepare it as soon as possible, that they needed 500 million.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to withdraw so much cash, but even if Mr. Chen couldn't, he could still withdraw from the vault. We have to satisfy his request; which bank would dare to refuse?

Ma Jian guessed that the boss was going to hand out a lot of money that night, so he said, "Boss, I have 200 million in cash here, take it with you."

Chen Xiao had his own plans; 500 million should be enough. But since Ma Jian had cash, he should take it with him. For him, spending an extra 200 million wouldn't matter.

Zicheng Palace International Club not only has karaoke but also restaurants. They decided to have dinner there. In order to ensure Chen Xiao would be in the karaoke room by 6 o'clock sharp, the group didn't even drink any alcohol during their dinner tonight.

The group was completely bewildered, not understanding what Mr. Chen was up to today. His first words after entering the private room startled them. (End of Chapter)
