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

Xiaoyun rolled her eyes. She had carried the load all the way from the subway exit across the street, and her arms were so tired that she couldn't feel them. How could she not be tired?

This guy, a grown man, watched me carry such heavy stuff and didn't even offer to lend a hand. He has no manners at all.

When they reached the 26th floor, which she remembered was on, Xiaoyun invited, "Would you like to come over and have some water?" However, this time it was clearly more of a polite gesture than the last time. After all, Chen Xiao had acted so rudely.

In addition, Xiaoyun felt that she was exhausted and looked disheveled, and girls don't want boys to see them like this.

"Okay~!"

Xiaoyun was dumbfounded. She hadn't thought he would come. He hadn't come when she invited him last time, so what was going on today? She had been so polite, and he couldn't tell she was just being polite?
Chen Xiao mainly came over because he had nothing to do at the moment. He could stay for ten minutes before going up, which wouldn't make a difference.

Xiaoyun's office was just one room, about 100 square meters. Chen Xiao had never seen such a simple office before. There weren't even any partitions; just a few desks and a computer. He glanced at it, and everything seemed old, probably salvaged from a flea market. He didn't look down on her. On the contrary, as a startup, knowing where to save and spending money wisely was the right thing to do.

"Oh dear, it's so heavy! Why didn't you ask me to help you?"

Xiaoyun put the printer away and went to a corner to get Chen Xiao some water. Upon hearing this, she almost died of anger. "Is it my fault? Do I need to explain this to you?"

“My place is too simple, much worse than your workstation at Dr. Feng’s Robotics Technology Group.” She placed a glass of water in front of him. “I haven’t bought any tea yet, so please make do with this for now.”

Looking at the disposable plastic cup in front of him, Chen Xiao said, "Isn't it unhealthy to drink water from a plastic cup?"

Xiaoyun said irritably, "You're out doing business every day, do you bring your own cup with you every time?"

Chen Xiao didn't say anything, but he definitely wouldn't use that plastic cup. After being scalded by boiling water, it would have a plastic smell. How could he possibly drink from it?

Xiaoyun watched him look around and said speechlessly, "Stop looking. Besides my own cup, this is the only other cup left in this office. I can't exactly let you use mine, can I? I used it, you'd definitely find it unpleasant—"

"Well, that's a bit—"

I'll endure it, I'll endure it! I'll tell him that these are two completely different things, so why should he look down on me?
What kind of business do you do?

When it came to serious matters, Xiaoyun's expression turned serious. "I work in algorithms—"

Algorithm development? Code writing? How much money can you make from that? Which company needs that kind of work? Who would want to work with you?

"You're doing great working at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, what made you so desperate to come out and suffer like this?!"

Xiaoyun snorted. This person's words were really unpleasant to hear. What did he mean by "not thinking things through"? He just didn't have a good grasp of himself. Although she didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong, she knew that going to work wouldn't solve her problems.

"Working for someone else is only enough to make a living; starting your own business is the only way to earn more money."

"You should rephrase that. A regular job is enough to live on, but starting your own business could leave you so broke you can't even find a place to live."

Xiaoyun was unhappy. "Hey, I invited you here, not to listen to you curse me. Shouldn't you give me some advice?"

Chen Xiao crossed his legs. "Am I not going to give you any advice? I suggest you close your company and go back to work at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group."

Is this even human? I've invested all my money to start the company, and I haven't even gotten a single deal yet. And now he wants me to close it down? Does that mean all the money I spent on rent, equipment, and renovations is wasted? Besides, I'm not the type to give up halfway.

"You're in sales, and I'd like you to teach me how to do sales; I need to get orders—"

Learn sales from me? When you start doing sales yourself, sales will come to you.

"You can't learn my tricks, and you're not cut out for sales. Seriously, I mean, you run a company and don't get a single order? Where did you get the nerve?"

Especially for those researching algorithms, if you don't have connections and resources, who would give you this kind of business? They can find a few PhDs or graduate students, or even interns, to write the code.

Xiaoyun blushed, but still stubbornly said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. I don't believe others can do it well, I can't do it well either."

Chen Xiao stood up. "Forget it, you can't reason with a damn fool. You won't turn back until you hit a brick wall. I'm leaving. You can continue thinking about where your orders will come from."

"How could you do this? I was already lacking in confidence and wanted your guidance on business development to boost my confidence. But instead, you came here and poured cold water on my enthusiasm."

Chen Xiao walked to the door, turned around, and found Xiao Yun sitting angrily in a chair, her eyes red. She guessed that she was going to have a good cry after Chen Xiao left.

Oh well, oh well, what can I do? I can't stand seeing girls cry.

"Alright, alright, since you're here, I'll help you this once! How many orders do you need to support yourself?"

When Xiaoyun saw him come back, she realized that this guy wasn't so bad after all; he did have some compassion. "My requirements aren't high, around 20 yuan is fine. I haven't hired anyone yet; I'm doing everything myself."

Doing research and development all by yourself? What kind of nonsense could you possibly develop?

"Then you have to make sure you meet the other person's technical requirements and can deliver on time."

"Don't worry, I guarantee it with my integrity!"

Chen Xiao was skeptical, unsure how much he could trust about Ma Jing's character, so he took out his phone and called her.

"You should tell one of the companies that signed contracts today to give a 20 yuan order to 'Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd.' Oh, she's the company that researches algorithms."

"Okay, give me your contact information. Those companies will contact you later. Hmm, you can keep a generous profit margin. They shouldn't try to bargain with you."

Is this how business works? Xiaoyun may not have eaten pork, but she's seen pigs walk. Who makes a phone call and asks for a 20 yuan order? Besides, they only provided the company name and didn't even know anything about the company. Why would they come to sign a contract with her?

It seems this guy was just teasing me, joking about something like this. Sigh, I guess I misjudged him and made a bad friend. Is giving him my contact information his main purpose, or is it a disguised way of flirting?

Xiaoyun listlessly opened WeChat on her phone. "Scan the QR code."

Chen Xiao found it strange. She wanted 20 yuan worth of orders, and he had secured nearly 100 million yuan for her. Shouldn't she be happy? Why did she look so despondent?

Chen Xiao added her on WeChat and left. He Qing would be getting off work soon and would pick her up to go home. As she left, she waved and said, "Remember to send me your phone number."

Xiao Yun nodded, not even getting up to see him off. She felt that Chen Xiao was incredibly unreliable, first throwing cold water on her, then using such a fake lie to deceive her, and even asking for her contact information.

I had a pretty good impression of him before, but I never expected that—you can't judge a book by its cover, and that a handsome exterior hides an evil soul.

Chen Xiao went up to pick up He Qing, and on the way, he sent Xiao Yun's contact information to Ma Jing so that she could make arrangements. It was only then that he learned that Xiao Yun's full name was Qin Yun.

Downstairs, Xiaoyun picked up her phone after a while. "This person is so rude. He wants my contact information but won't send me his own. He has no manners at all. It's outrageous."

In the past half hour, she checked her phone about a dozen times, but Chen Xiao still hadn't sent her his phone number. When she checked her phone for the thirty-first time, it rang.

Qin Yun glanced at the caller ID; it was an unknown number. After hesitating for a moment, she answered.

"Is this Mr. Qin? I'm XXX, a sales representative from XX Company," a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, this is you. May I ask what's the matter?" She had never been in contact with this company before. Why would their sales representative contact her? Did they want to ask her for orders? That was ridiculous. Her company hadn't received a single order yet.

She assumed the other party had somehow obtained her company's contact information and wanted to do business with her. Although Chen Xiao had said he would help her find business, she hadn't believed him at all. Even if she had, she didn't think someone would place an order with her in such a short time.

"Ah—I wanted to ask when you have time. I have an order agreement worth 20, and I'd like to come over and sign it with you."

A 20 yuan order? Qin Yun initially thought the other party was a scammer, but then she suddenly remembered the instruction Chen Xiao had just given her in front of her—to have someone come and sign a 20 yuan order with Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd.

Could it really be true? Qin Yun couldn't believe it. Could signing an order be that simple? But her current difficulties made her desperately want the order, and even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that it was true, she would choose to believe it.

“I have time. I’m at room XX on the 26th floor of Yunfeng Building. I can come anytime.”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that he needed to confirm whether it was related to Chen Xiao. "By the way, how did you get my contact information? Who recommended this business?"

The other party was also very puzzled. How come this General Qin didn't know anything? If it wasn't General Chen's arrangement, who would go out of their way to send you a 20 yuan order?
"It was arranged by President Chen, President Chen Xiao!"

"Hiss—" Qin Yun gasped, "You guys aren't kidding me, are you? A 20 yuan order signed so casually?" The other side was speechless. Miss, how formal does a 20 yuan order need to be? They signed an 8000 million yuan order and couldn't even see President Chen. Even President Chen's assistant only talked to them for a maximum of 3 minutes.

"By the way, do you have Chen Xiao's contact information? Could you give me one?"

After asking, Qin Yun wanted to slap herself. How could she ask someone for Chen Xiao's contact information? She had just checked her phone dozens of times but hadn't seen Chen Xiao send her contact information. This had been on her mind the whole time, and now that Chen Xiao had helped her secure 20 yuan in orders, she was so excited that she blurted out the wrong thing.

But since I'd already asked, I might as well ask, and I ended up getting Chen Xiao's contact information.

"Where would I get Mr. Chen's contact information?"

Qin Yun was confused again, "You talked to Chen Xiao about business, but you didn't even have his contact information? How could you discuss business like that?"

The other party paused for a moment, then said, "We'll bring the contract to your door. After Mr. Chen's assistant confirms it's OK, we'll sign the contract and make the payment."

What the heck? Chen Xiao even brought an assistant? A salesperson with an assistant, and he's having the assistant handle business negotiations?

"So what is Chen Xiao's responsibility?"

The other person thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, "I don't know, maybe it's for collecting bonuses—"

The two agreed to come over first thing tomorrow morning to sign the contract, and then ended the call. Qin Yun had just put down her phone, pondering today's unbelievable order, when her phone rang again. Just like the sales representative from the previous company, it was the same: a 20 yuan order, also arranged by Chen Xiao, and also without Chen Xiao's contact information.

Qin Yun checked the calendar several times and began to suspect it was April Fool's Day. In the end, the two agreed to sign the contract the next day.

In this way, she received five phone calls. If what the other party said was true, then she had received an order worth 1 million. With this 1 million, Qin Yun's company would survive. Not only would it not have any problem surviving, but it could also hire a few employees to help her with coding.

Whether it's true or false, we'll find out tomorrow. Qin Yun told herself that this was Chen Xiao's prank, and that no one signs contracts like this. But another voice told her that it was real, because she could find the companies the other party mentioned online. They were all large companies with good business development, and some had recently completed their Series B or even Series C funding rounds. They couldn't possibly be playing a joke on her like this with Chen Xiao.

Two voices in her mind were like a tug-of-war, fighting back and forth in Qin Yun's head, making her toss and turn all night, and she finally fell asleep around 4 a.m.

That night, Chen Xiao didn't go to He Qing and Wang Ping's place, but instead slept soundly with Xiang Jun in his arms.

The next day, Chen Xiao was going to take Zhang Ziqian to South Korea to see the new "Star Pavilion" store on Rodeo Street. Lee Ji-eun would also be there to support them; her influence in South Korea was much greater than in China.

"Xiangjun, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you from South Korea."

"I have everything I need, so you can bring some back for them. Our great China is vast and rich in resources, we have all sorts of good things. What good things could that tiny South Korean country possibly have?"

Wow, she's got a pretty strong sense of nationalism, haha! But Chen Xiao agrees with what she said; you really can't find anything special in South Korea. If it weren't for Lee Ji-eun there, he wouldn't be interested at all.

This trip to South Korea will be by Gulfstream business jet, and then a helicopter will take me directly from Seoul International Airport to the helipad of the Junhyo Hotel (formerly the Signor Hotel).

The entire trip is expected to take about 3 hours, which is less than the driving time from Jiangzhou to Shanghai. We'll depart at noon, so we won't miss having afternoon tea with Lee Ji-eun.

Zhao Hui also left Jiangzhou today. He came back to celebrate his father-in-law's birthday, which greatly impressed Wang Yan's relatives. They all knew that the Wang family's son-in-law was doing very well, but they didn't know exactly how well. This time, he went on a yacht, drank the legendary 10 Lafite that cost 82 yuan per bottle, and enjoyed a buffet meal that cost tens of thousands of yuan per person. All the relatives were impressed. Without a doubt, the Wang family will become the absolute core of their family in the future.

He came early this morning to say goodbye to Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun, as it would probably be several months before he returned. A good man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, and Wang Yan had no objections to his constant travels across the country. Zhao Hui had now become the pride of her and her family.

26th Floor, Yunfeng Building, Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd.

Qin Yun couldn't sit still in the office; she kept standing up and pacing around.

Is it really true? Is it really true?
{Oh, I'm so stupid. How could something like this happen? Although I don't know how Chen Xiao managed to get so many people to joke with me, this is most likely a joke.}
{If only it were true! If it were true, I would definitely thank Chen Xiao properly. I would treat him to a big meal, a buffet that costs 298 yuan a meal.}
jingle——

The doorbell rang, and Qin Yun jumped up and rushed to open the door. Seeing a beautiful woman outside, she immediately asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Mr. Qin, I am XX from XX Company. We made an appointment yesterday to sign the contract today."

Her dream had come true! It was actually real? Qin Yun was stunned for a long time, staring at the other person until the other person blushed. Only then did she realize that she had lost her composure and quickly invited her in.

The sales representative glanced at the shabby office environment, but she didn't underestimate Qin Yun. So what if the environment was bad? With the support of that General Manager Chen, orders would still pour in. He could give General Manager Qin a voice and she'd be on her to take off.

Rumors circulate that President Chen is a womanizer, and it seems they're true. This President Qin must be beautiful to have gotten his help. It's a pity I've never had the chance to meet him; otherwise, I might have had a chance too.

Seeing that she was staring at her office, Qin Yun said somewhat awkwardly, "The company is newly established, so there are few people and the environment is rather basic—"

The sales representative glanced at each workstation. It wasn't that there weren't enough people; it was just Qin Yun, who single-handedly served as CEO, CTO, and CFO. If it weren't for President Chen's arrangements, they wouldn't even be able to get into their own company, let alone deliver the contract. There was no way around it; it was all President Chen's doing. An 8000 million yuan order had already been placed; who would be short of 20?

"President Qin, a mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals who dwell there; water is not sacred for its depth, but for the dragons that inhabit it."

The sales representative's words made Qin Yun blush. She wasn't a fairy or a dragon; she was just poor. If she had money, she would also want a beautifully decorated office.

"This is our contract, and the version of the contract has been confirmed by General Manager Chen."

Qin Yun took it. Chen Xiao really was that meticulous? She couldn't believe it. Of course, this wasn't confirmed by Chen Xiao himself, but by Ma Jing. It was actually quite simple: just make sure the version was the same as the one signed with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. These companies were only doing this out of respect for President Chen; the contract's wording didn't matter.

After taking a look, Qin Yun was starting to have doubts about life. This was a version that was completely advantageous to the other party, that is, herself. Was the other company out of their minds? Did Chen Xiao have that much influence over them?

I looked at the offer amount, 20, and the project name is XXX, which is basically doing an algorithm. 20 for this? Isn't this just giving away money?
Then she saw the payment method: full payment in one lump sum after the contract is signed? Is this really not an April Fool's joke?

"Will your company be able to approve this contract?" Qin Yun couldn't help but ask again.

The beautiful sales representative smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, I've brought the company seal. We'll sign the contract this morning and make the payment this afternoon, so don't worry."

What was there to worry about? Signing this contract would only benefit her, not harm her. Even if it was a joke, she would only have been played, without any financial loss.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to pour you some water—"

The sales representative had just added another role to her already ambitious plan of simultaneously serving as CEO, CTO, and CFO—assistant.

Qin Yun poured her some water and added, "We only have disposable plastic cups, please don't mind."

"It's alright. When we go out to discuss business, we usually use disposable cups. What's there to complain about?"

Just as I was about to say, "Chen Xiao is so picky," I heard the beautiful woman say again, "Not everyone is as particular as President Chen, using only blue and white porcelain teacups!"

Blue and white porcelain? That's not too expensive, a set sells for between 50 and 200 yuan in the market. Hmm, once the money arrives, I'll buy a set, so Chen Xiao won't complain about my disposable cups next time she comes over.

"Then I'll learn from Chen Xiao and get a set of his own."

The sales representative seemed taken aback. "Mr. Qin, your company is a startup; there's no need for such a high-profile approach, is there?" It would be better to use that money to buy some office furniture and improve the company's image. Why waste it like this?

As Qin Yun stamped her seal, she replied, "It's alright, 200 yuan, it's not exactly high-profile."

200 yuan? The beautiful sales representative realized she had misunderstood. She had no idea what kind of cup Mr. Chen was using. She sighed and explained, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Chen's cup is a collector's item, a cloisonné enamel blue and white twelve flower goddess cup. It's a 1:1 replica, and a set costs 25 yuan."

With a thud, Qin Yun's hand trembled, and the pen fell to the ground.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand?" Chen Xiao must be a beast. How can a salesman like him spend 25 on a set? Is he defying the heavens?
The business assistant nodded, thinking to himself, "What's so special about this? Assistant Ma told me that President Chen has a set of Qing Dynasty Kangxi blue and white polychrome twelve-month flower cups, which he bought at auction for 1300 million. However, President Chen said that cups should be new. Antiques are fine to appreciate, but using them for drinking tea is unhygienic. It feels like kissing someone from hundreds of years ago across time and space. Disgusting!"

Qin Yun took a breath. 25? Fine, I'll just buy an entry-level one for 200 yuan. That way, next time Chen Xiao comes, I'll treat him fairly and not give him a disposable cup.

The sales representative took out the company seal, stamped it, and then took two copies for himself, leaving one copy for Qin Yun. He stood up and said, "President Qin, the payment will arrive in your account no later than the end of today's workday. Please check your account information."

Happiness came too suddenly; Qin Yun felt like she was floating. She hadn't even seen the first sales representative off before another one arrived. The familiar process, the familiar routine—several companies followed the same pattern.

After signing contracts with five companies in a row, we finally completed all the scheduled signing activities for today.

She took out her phone and called Chen Xiao; she really had to thank him! (End of Chapter)
