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

No product is perfect, which is why constant adjustments are necessary.

Although "Starry Night" is not perfect, its performance is already amazing enough, and the team's confidence in creating such a luxury brand has increased dramatically.

On the Gulfstream business jet, he waved to Zhou Xiaomei and Tang Tang and asked what they had bought in South Korea.
The two women blushed. They had gone to Dongdaemun Duty Free Kingdom and bought a lot of skincare products, as well as shampoo and the like. They were very excited when they bought them, but when they got back, they felt stupid. How much cheaper could these be than in China? They were people who earned millions a year, and dragging such a big suitcase around was exhausting.

"Dongdaemun DDP Duty Free Kingdom was the only shopping mall I didn't visit during my two days in South Korea. We completely missed it."

Tang and Tang remained silent; they had been discussing this matter while shopping yesterday. Lee Ji-eun was their idol, and yesterday they were even considering getting an autographed photo of her through Chen Xiao. Tang was quicker to react, saying, "We slept with the same man as her. She probably won't refuse out of camaraderie, right? Next time we meet, we'll just ask her for it."

It seems easier to just talk to Lee Ji-eun directly than to talk to Chen Xiao; they're a little afraid of Chen Xiao.

Xu Wu was in her office, answering her second uncle's phone call, when Chen Xiao came in from outside and tiptoed to her side.

"Ah Wu, Uncle's money might have to wait a bit."

Chen Xiao laughed. His second uncle had lent Xu Wu 6000 yuan, saying he would pay him back once he got back. He guessed that Xu Wu was short of money right now, as the money for his business was in the hands of Xu Wu's cousin, Xu Xin.

Xu Wu glanced at the hand stroking her thigh, then at Chen Xiao, who was already acting up as soon as he got back. She told her second uncle it was alright, they could talk about it later.

"Oh dear, Ah Wu, your second uncle is really sorry. But don't worry, it's not that your second uncle doesn't have money, it's just that he's temporarily short of funds—"

"Alright, Second Uncle, let's not talk about this anymore," Xu Wu said. She didn't have time to waste on the 6000 yuan. She couldn't just say he didn't need to pay it back; given her second uncle's pride, he certainly wouldn't accept that. He called today to explain why he hadn't paid back the money, afraid of losing face in front of his niece.

“Okay, Ah Wu, if you are in urgent need of money, just tell your second uncle, and I can raise the money for you in a day at most.”

Chen Xiao listened to their conversation while rubbing the thigh of the female CEO of the trillion-yuan group. As someone who receives a minimum subsistence allowance of 1300 million yuan a year, the thought of a 6000 yuan debt now seemed incredibly distant to him. In fact, a year and a half ago, he himself didn't even have 6000 yuan in savings.

"By the way, Ah Wu, I have some good news for you—"

Chen Xiao pricked up his ears, wanting to hear some good news, when he heard his second uncle say, "I went to Jiangzhou last time and saw the antique street in your characteristic town. It was quite nice. I'm planning to move my shop to Jiangzhou later, and I can take care of you then."

Xu Wu rubbed her temples. "Okay, Second Uncle, that's a good thing."

“Awu, your cousin and I are both out of town, so it’s inconvenient for us to find a shop. If you have time, have Xiao Chen go and see if there are any suitable shops. It’s okay if you can’t negotiate the price. As long as the location is good, I’ll go over there again and finalize the deal.”

Looking at Chen Xiao, I really admire his foresight. A few days ago, he asked Zhang Ziqian to buy him a shop in a prime location on the antique street, and now it's come in handy.
After ending the call, Xu Wu was hugged by him, and there were two hands inside her skirt. She said reproachfully, "As soon as you came back, you were thinking about that."

Chen Xiao flicked his finger, "You don't want to? How do you explain the flooding of Jinshan Temple?"

The trillion-dollar female CEO blushed, "You old scoundrel—"

Chen Xiao picked her up and carried her into the break room. Near the end of the workday, Xu Wu told Chen Xiao that her second uncle had called earlier to say that her cousin was getting married and asking if she had time to come back. This was both her cousin's wedding and her cousin Xu Xin's engagement. Xu's second uncle hadn't been back to his hometown for two years, and this time he wanted to have a family reunion. He only had Xu Wu's father as an older brother, and no other close relatives.

"I'll go back with you sometime."

He wasn't going back for his second uncle, but to see Xu Wu's parents. As one of the most important women in his life, it would be impolite not to see her parents for so long, so he would take this opportunity to visit them.

Xu Wu understood his thoughts and smiled gently, "The day after tomorrow, I originally planned for him to take the high-speed train to Jiangzhou and then return to Qingyun County together. He said they would drive back, saying it would be more convenient to have a car."

Chen Xiao laughed. Driving an Audi Q5 back to his rural hometown would be quite prestigious, wouldn't it? His second uncle had been away from home for so long; he definitely wanted to make a grand return. As for convenience, the high-speed rail was far superior. Driving back home would take them nearly 10 hours—that was just asking for trouble.

He also said that he would pay off all his debts when he went back this time.

He laughed heartily, "Second Uncle's fortunes have turned around; he's about to change the image he had in the eyes of the villagers back home."

Xu Wu has limited time and can only stay at home for one night at most. They will be going back the day after tomorrow to attend their eldest sister Tiantang's wedding. They won't be involved in their cousin Xu Xin's engagement. But since they are going back, they should prepare some gifts.

"Want to pick something from my 'treasure trove' later?"

Xu Wu shook her head. "Forget it, the stuff in there is too scary."

Chen Xiao's so-called "treasure trove" consists of things they've found outside, which they've collected for him, and none of them are worth less than a few million.

He wouldn't force her; Xu Wu could decide how her family arranged things. Anyway, Chen Xiao's attitude had been clear: he had prepared an extra 100 billion for her. But he estimated that apart from Xu Wu, probably no one in the Xu family had the ability to manage so much money. And Xu Wu had already put all her good projects with Junxiao Capital, so she couldn't possibly use this 100 billion to steal Junxiao Capital's business.

Therefore, Chen Xiao couldn't give her the 1000 billion. Xu Wu knew his thoughts and tried to persuade him instead. She already had 1% of Junxiao Group's shares, which was enough. Moreover, as the CEO of Junxiao Group, she had the resources at her disposal to create several billionaires with ease.

She also said that leaving too much money to future generations might not be a good thing, and told Chen Xiao not to worry about it.

After leaving Xu Wu's office, Chen Xiao went to see Ma Jian, the only male classmate he still kept in touch with and was closest to among his high school classmates. Chen Xiao valued Ma Jian highly. As soon as Ma Jian saw Chen Xiao, he joked, "Boss, I was just saying I'd go to Zichen Palace again tonight. Are you coming?"

"I'm not going—"

Huh? Ma Jian was puzzled. He clearly saw that his boss was interested in that Qiu Qiaoqiao that day, so why did he refuse? Little did he know, Qiu Qiaoqiao was still in South Korea. What would Chen Xiao be doing there? Of course, he wouldn't explain. Leaning back on the sofa, legs crossed, he said to Ma Jian, "You're not getting any younger. How come you haven't found someone you both like? Going to those kinds of events every day is ultimately just a money transaction. You don't really feel anything."

Ma Jian chuckled twice. "I used to think I had a strong feeling for Huang Ju, but after sleeping together a few times, I found that I couldn't muster any interest anymore."

Chen Xiao smiled faintly and took the tea he offered: "You go to nightclubs every day. Those women are prettier and more seductive than Huang Ju. Your heart is no longer with her."

Indeed, after several encounters with Huang Ju, Ma Jian discovered that some people and some feelings, once that point in time has passed, can never be recaptured.

Ma Jian and Director Qin have finalized the script, and Yang Mi will still play the female lead. With Chen Xiao's approval, even if Yang Mi wasn't initially interested in the show, her interest might be piqued by Chen Xiao's involvement.

“Boss, they’ll be filming in Jiangzhou soon. You can visit the set then. Chen Xiaoyan and Qin Yaling have been talking about you a lot lately.”

Knowing Chen Xiao's identity, it's no wonder they were eyeing him. Chen Xiao received messages from the two of them every day. After Qin Yaling received the 500-square-meter luxury house that Chen Xiao had someone buy for her, Chen Xiaoyan was even more excited than her. However, all of her excitement was directed at Chen Xiao. He was too lazy to reply to the three daily greetings without fail.

That day, Chen Xiaoyan was just a side trip; he was more interested in Qin Yaling, the school beauty from back then, and it was his first time with her. So Chen Xiao gifted her a luxury house as a way of thanking her for helping him rediscover a certain sense of anticipation he had felt in high school.

Visiting the set? Ma Jian probably wants to let him play the "one against two" card again. It's all up to fate; he might indulge in a visit when he's free, but it's not worth making a special trip.

His main purpose in coming down was to inquire about Ma Jian's business development and whether there was any need for support. Ma Jian had also purchased a 100-acre plot of land in the High-tech Zone, intending to build the headquarters of Dongjian Commerce Group, which would include R&D, production, warehousing, office buildings, and a group hotel. The total investment would be nearly 3 million yuan.

“If you don’t have enough money, just tell me, and I’ll lend you some more—” “No need, boss. My cash flow is perfectly healthy. Besides, that 300 million wasn’t paid out in one lump sum. With Junxiao Commercial Management’s development and Dongjian Commerce fully aligned, by the end of the year, I’ll have close to 400 stores of various types, and annual sales will definitely exceed 3 billion. However, my talent pool is still somewhat lagging, so the number of stores opening may not be that fast. I expect to have 30 stores by the end of the year, and sales of over 20 billion will definitely be achieved.”

This is because many shops opened in the second half of the year. If these shops have been operating for a full year next year, his sales will likely exceed 30 billion yuan, which is quite certain, especially since Junxiao Commercial Management will have many new projects next year. The ultimate goal is to have more than 500 projects in total, including Junxiao City, Junwu Plaza, and Junxiao Plaza, where Ma Jian can open nearly 3000 shops.

There's also Junxiao Supermarket. Han Xue's plan is to open 20 Junxiao Supermarkets this year. After this year's business is familiarized and adjusted, next year will be the year Junxiao Supermarket focuses its efforts on, and Ma Jian will have many more opportunities to open new stores. So, even if Ma Jian doesn't do other projects and just works with Junxiao Commercial Management, his annual sales could exceed 100 billion yuan.

His net profit margin at Junxiao Commercial Management is over 20%, and with annual net profits in the billions, if the company were to go public, its market value could easily exceed 500 billion. However, he doesn't need to go public; he's not short of money and doesn't need financing.

Ma Jian never dared to imagine that one day he would become one of the richest people in China. Yes, one of the richest. How many people can come up with billions of yuan in cash every year? Ma Jian can. So a few days ago at the KTV, in order to let Qiu Qiaoqiao and Chen Xiao play a game, he offered 500 million yuan. This amount of money was just a drop in the ocean for him.

Chen Xiao also learned something from Ma Jian: Luffy had recently been dealing with that "abstract live-streaming car enthusiast" in Shanghai, and he was doing it every few days. That guy was in an even worse situation than Wei Ming was back then; he was too afraid to even go downstairs now. Fortunately, his work was mainly online. Online, he was radiant and imposing, but as soon as he stopped broadcasting, he became a coward and wouldn't even leave his house.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Sometimes, a beautiful woman would try to get close to him and then accuse him of molesting her, which would lead to some righteous people beating him up. Other times, a child would run up to him, hug his leg, and cry, saying that he was bullying a child, which would again lead to some righteous people giving him a beating.

"Abstract" has been depressed lately. Adding to his woes, Junxing Auto, the target of his constant criticism, has been making headlines due to the Junxiao Group's recent scandals, giving Junxing Auto's fans and KOCs a daily dose of "victory," boosting their morale and driving "Abstract's Live Car Talk" to the brink of despair. His collaboration with Xu Guang to open a Ruishi 4S store in Jiangzhou has already taken place, but he hasn't dared to go. Lately, he's been having bad luck every time he goes out, and he doesn't know who's targeting him.

After glancing at the time, Chen Xiao waved and went to pick up He Qing from get off work.

Ma Jian saw him to the door, and Chen Xiao suddenly turned around and said, "Let's go to Zichen Palace again in a few days—"

That makes sense. I knew the boss had a strong interest in Qiu Qiaoqiao. Indeed, that woman is unbelievably beautiful, and her demeanor is exceptionally outstanding. The moment she appeared that night, he was watching Chen Xiao's changing gaze; he was clearly smitten.

Qingyun County, Jindi Huafu.

Back in their hometown, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were an honest and hardworking couple who made a living off their few acres of land. Sometimes Mr. Xu would go out to do odd jobs to earn some extra money. Fortunately, their daughter was a bright and promising student who consistently ranked at the top of her class. Since starting university, she has almost never missed a scholarship, and with the money she earns from part-time jobs, she has no further burden on the family.

After graduation, Xu Wu often helped support her family with her earnings. Last year, things got even more amazing when her daughter became the CEO of a company, reportedly earning over ten million yuan a year (at that time, Xu Wu hadn't received a salary increase yet; now her annual salary exceeds one hundred million yuan).
The elderly couple felt like they were dreaming, but the 400 million yuan house in Jindi Huafu proved that it was all real. Last Spring Festival, their daughter told them that she had a boyfriend and that they had a very good relationship. This made the two of them happy every day.

Upon arriving in the county town, Xu Wu forbade them from returning to their hometown to tend to those few acres of rice paddies, leaving them all to be cultivated by their neighbors. During the Spring Festival, Xu Wu gave them a card with 100 million yuan, telling them to buy whatever they wanted. He said he wasn't short of money, but he might be quite busy with work and wouldn't be able to come back often, so he urged them not to be stingy with their money and not to deprive themselves.

The elderly couple prioritizes their daughter above all else. Hearing that she's quite busy, they don't even dare to call her often. Now, they spend their days strolling in the county park, practicing Tai Chi, and enjoying their retirement.

Last month, Xu Wu arranged for the Junxing Auto Authorized User Center in Qingyun County to deliver a top-of-the-line Junxing M7 to Xu's father. Now, Xu's father likes to take Xu's mother out for a stroll whenever he has free time, and this kind of life is leisurely and carefree.

Today, Mr. Xu received a call from his second brother. Since his second uncle went to another city, he rarely calls Mr. Xu except during holidays. When he does call during the Spring Festival, he just sends his New Year's greetings and then goes off to do his business.

This phone call was expected. During the Spring Festival, my second uncle mentioned that my cousin Xu Wu was getting married in the middle of the year and my cousin Xu Xin was getting engaged. As the eldest uncle, Xu's father would definitely be attending these events.

"Brother, I'm going back to Qingyun tomorrow. How about I come over to your place for a couple of drinks tonight?"

Father Xu hadn't seen his younger brother for several years and missed him terribly. Now the house was overflowing with good wine. "Come on, come back early, let's have a few drinks, you and your brother."

"Okay, brother, I also really miss my sister-in-law's braised pork. I'll have to bother her again tomorrow and ask her to cook."

Mr. Xu glanced at his wife beside him. Now that they had a housekeeper to cook, he wondered if his wife's cooking skills had deteriorated. Besides, the housekeeper was a much better cook than his wife. This housekeeper was the richest man in Qingyun and was recommended by President Cheng.

Speaking of this Mr. Cheng, he visits our home every few days, bringing some good mountain produce one day and some fine tea the next, making Mr. Xu feel embarrassed. I heard that Mr. Cheng is worth over 10 billion yuan. Back in our hometown, many people often joked, "It's a pity we don't have a relative like Mr. Cheng."

Mr. Xu felt that Cheng, the richest man, might not even treat his own father as well as he treated his relatives. He initially thought Cheng had ulterior motives towards his daughter, but when Xu Wu was there during the Spring Festival, he realized Cheng was simply fawning over her and seemed quite afraid of her. He couldn't believe that now, whenever the richest man came to their house, if people didn't know he was Cheng, they would mistake him for a servant—his attitude was extremely humble.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Xu realized that his younger brother didn't know he had moved to the county town. He quickly sent the address to his brother via WeChat, telling him that he had moved and was now in the county town.

Uncle Xu Wu and Xu Xin were shopping at the supermarket; they always bring back some gifts when they go back to their hometown. *Buzz*—the phone rang. He glanced at it and saw a message from his eldest brother. He opened it and read, "Wow—elder brother, you're doing great! When did you buy a house in the county town?"

Xu Xin was taken aback. "No way, my uncle's family has gotten ahead of us."

My second uncle has made some money in the past few years. This time, besides paying off debts to relatives and friends, he also plans to buy a house in his hometown county as a wedding home for Xu Xin. This was agreed upon when the two families first met. The woman also mentioned that she wanted to buy a house in Jiangzhou later. My second uncle, who has made money these past two years, is quite generous and agreed on the spot, but with one condition—that she give him a grandson.

He was a sexist, and if the first child was a girl, his second uncle was afraid that his daughter-in-law would not want to have any more children. So he said that if the first child was a grandson, he would buy a house in Jiangzhou.

I never expected my eldest son to have this kind of financial strength. My second uncle thought about it for a moment and figured it was probably money Xu Wu earned from her job. It shouldn't be too much of a burden to make a down payment on a house in the county town. Hmm, I didn't expect the eldest son's family to be doing so well. That's really good. It seems the Xu family has had some good luck these past two years.

"Dad, what kind of wine should we buy from Uncle's house tomorrow?"

Xu Xin interrupted his second uncle's thoughts. After thinking for a moment, his second uncle said, "Buy something better, like Luzhou Laojiao. It should be 30 years old (52 degrees). Check the price. It's over 400 yuan. That's fine. Your uncle used to drink bulk liquor every day. Now that things are better, it's time to upgrade."

"Okay, let's buy four more packs of cigarettes. Smoking is bad for your health, so we should smoke a few packs of better ones."

Xu Xin hummed in agreement and added, "This is the same quality as the one I bought for my father-in-law."

The second uncle chimed in, "When you were little, your eldest brother doted on you. Now that you're capable, it's only right that you be filial. Don't be so stingy; learn from your father."

"If you weren't so generous, you wouldn't have accumulated so much debt in the first place. Now that the economy is in trouble, so many people are in debt, most of whom were just being extravagant in the past."

Uncle's beard was practically standing on end in anger. He really knew how to rub salt in the wound. Fortunately, Xu Xin didn't say anything and bought cigarettes and alcohol as requested.

Qingyun County, Xu Family
Every day, without Xu's father or mother having to tell her, Auntie would go to the market to buy the best and freshest ingredients. When Cheng, the richest man, recommended her to work for the Xu family, he instructed her not to think about saving money for the family, but to use whatever was best.

This aunt used to serve the Cheng family, and they were very satisfied with her over the years. It was only to curry favor with the Xu family that they reluctantly let her take care of Mr. and Mrs. Xu. Naturally, she obeyed the words of the richest man in the Cheng family.

Xu's father called his younger brother several times that afternoon. They had set off in the morning and estimated that they would arrive in Qingyun County around 5 p.m.

Mr. Xu sat on the sofa in the living room. The tea brewed on the table was Fuding white tea, a gift from the richest man, Cheng. He said it was Baihao Yinzhen (Silver Needle White Tea), first-picked from wild tea trees over 50 years old, covered with dense white down. Cheng had also sourced it from elsewhere, not wanting to drink it himself, but giving it to Mr. Xu. It was said that this tea cost over 20,000 yuan per jin (500 grams).

He smacked his lips; the tea was really ordinary, not as good as the one his daughter sent back. Little did he know that the Fuding white tea Xu Wu sent was aged silver needle tea from 2008, with a market price of over 100,000 yuan per jin (500g). The tea soup was amber-gold, with a rich medicinal aroma, naturally incomparable to the tea sent by Cheng the Richest Man.

It's genuine. Auntie came to inform us that Mr. Cheng, the richest man, came to visit, saying he brought some flowers and plants for Mr. Xu's father.

Mr. Xu was taken aback. Why did they come at this time? Looking at the time, he realized that his second son would be arriving soon, and he probably wouldn't have much time to chat with him.

Cheng, the richest man, is quite familiar with Xu's father now, which is why he came uninvited. Xu's father got up and came out to greet him. Cheng, the richest man, entered from the doorway and said from a distance, "Since you like growing flowers, I had someone bring you a few century-old crape myrtle plants these past few days. They have a long flowering period, about 120 days, symbolizing lasting wealth and prosperity." (End of Chapter)
