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

Seeing Zhang Yan was terrified, Zhao Xiangjun comforted her, "Don't be afraid. I'll talk to Cha Lan, and he won't blame you."

This was beyond Zhang Yan's expectations. Zhao Xiangjun's danger tonight was all because of her. She was just glad that Zhao Xiangjun wasn't angry with her and was even comforting herself.

"Xiangjun, you...you're so kind!"

Yan Yue glanced at her out of the corner of her eye and said, "The mastermind behind this is called Zhao Cheng. Do you know him?"

Zhang Yan was bewildered again, "Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng, Zhao—? Could it be..."
-
Chen Xiao was alone for a while, occasionally glancing at Qin Yun to see what she was doing. She seemed to be in some trouble. He raised his glass, still finding it hard to drink, and kept his eyes on Qin Yun, wondering if she could resolve the situation herself.

Qin Yun was disappointed all night. She had heard people describe these kinds of business networking events as very prestigious, often mentioning how someone had secured 5 million yuan in funding through such events, or how someone had signed a 1000 million yuan order. All of this had filled her with anticipation for today's event, so she asked someone to introduce her to try her luck.

She felt that she had always been lucky, otherwise how could she have met Chen Xiao when she was in the most difficult time? He gave her a 200 million yuan order, which gave her a chance to catch her breath.

But we can't rely solely on Chen Xiao; he can't possibly deliver 100 million orders every week.

She tried her best tonight, seizing every opportunity to introduce her company and her technology, confident she could win them over with her expertise. However, as soon as they heard it was a small startup, they lost interest. A few who were interested were only interested in her as a person, saying they wanted to be friends. Qin Yun saw a disgusting glint in their eyes; encountering such people, she could only turn and leave.

After several unsuccessful attempts, a young man approached him and said, "I see you're here to discuss business—"

Qin Yun glanced at him dejectedly. Was it that difficult? Anyone could probably see that.

"Perhaps I can help you?"

Having endured a series of setbacks, Qin Yun found his words like a drowning person suddenly grabbing onto a piece of driftwood. She immediately asked, "What can I give you?"

She had just learned this phrase; repeated setbacks had taught her that all collaborations required an exchange. Also, no one helps you for no reason—well, not exactly, Chen Xiao seemed to help her without any conditions. But Chen Xiao was an oddball; you can't use him to judge others.

"I don't need anything. I see you've had a tough time, and I just want to help you this once."

I was filled with doubt. Had I run into someone like Chen Xiao again? Was this just my good luck today? Was it God's blessing?

She thanked him and introduced the company's business. After listening to her, the young man smiled: "That's easy? Come on, let me introduce you to a few deals, it's no trouble at all."

Qin Yun followed him to Mr. Zhang, who had previously rejected her. Mr. Zhang was the owner of a company with an annual output value of around 2 million yuan. To Qin Yun, he was a very important and unapproachable figure.

Upon seeing this person, General Manager Zhang greeted him politely: "General Manager Zhao—"

"Mr. Zhang, this Ms. Qin is a friend of mine. You're familiar with her company's business scope. Could you perhaps place some orders to support her?"

Qin Yun stared at President Zhang. Would this work? President Zhang had just said that his company had 5 or 6 professional algorithm engineers and didn't need to outsource it.

Upon hearing Mr. Zhao's words, Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since Mr. Zhao has spoken, then there is naturally no problem. Mr. Qin, I have an order for 60 here. I will arrange for someone to contact you in the next couple of days."

Mr. Zhao nodded smugly and said to Qin Yun, "Let's go, let's go to the next one."

Mr. Zhang seemed to have figured something out, so he flattered Mr. Zhao and said to Qin Yun, "Ms. Qin, you are Mr. Zhao's friend. Why didn't you say so earlier? If we had known you were Mr. Zhao's friend, who among us here tonight would have dared to disrespect you?"

Then he asked General Manager Zhao, "What about General Manager Cha?"

Qin Yun didn't know who General Manager Cha was, but she heard General Manager Zhao say, "Don't worry, didn't you see he's busy? The people surrounding him are all billionaires."

Following Mr. Zhao's gaze, at the very center of the banquet, a fat old man was talking smugly, while the extraordinary people around him seemed to be listening attentively, nodding and flattering him from time to time.

As soon as Mr. Cha raised his glass, everyone around him bent over at almost a 90-degree angle, holding their glasses low, looking completely subservient to him.

"That is—?"

Qin Yun arrived late and did not experience the sensation that occurred when Cha Lan brought Chen Xiao in.

Mr. Zhang said with utmost respect, "That is Mr. Cha, a prominent figure in Jiangzhou and the chairman of Zhifei Aerospace!"

Wow—Qin Yun was truly astonished. Of course, she knew about Zhifei Aerospace; it had a very close partnership with Dr. Feng's Technology Group, a super-large conglomerate and a star company in Jiangzhou.

"Mr. Qin is a friend of Mr. Zhao, yet he doesn't know Mr. Cha?"

Qin Yun looked at President Zhao with suspicion. Judging from President Zhang's tone, this person had some connection with President Cha.

Mr. Zhao smiled proudly: "That's my brother-in-law. He started his business and has grown to where he is today all thanks to the support of our Zhao family—"

Mr. Zhang chimed in, “I’ve heard Mr. Zhao say this a few times too. When Mr. Cha married his wife, he wasn’t well-off. It was the Zhao family who provided the funding for him to start his business. From that perspective, the Zhao family is the most trustworthy venture capitalist. Mr. Cha’s net worth must be over 50 billion now.”

"Hehe, 50 billion?" Mr. Zhao said 50 billion as if he were talking about 500 yuan.

"Zhifei Aerospace's annual output value has already approached 200 billion yuan this year. Currently, they are expanding production capacity globally, and their planned target for next year is 400-500 billion yuan."

"Hiss—" Both President Zhang and Qin Yun were shocked.

Qin Yun knew that Zhifei Aerospace was powerful, but she didn't expect it to be this powerful. With this kind of development, wouldn't it be catching up with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group soon?

She used to be a low-level employee and didn't understand Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group's plans. Although Zhifei Aerospace was developing rapidly, it couldn't compare to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. Putting aside everything else, the future returns from just holding a 20% stake in Junxing Intelligent R&D Center would be enough for Zhifei to catch up.

Moreover, the money that Zhifei Aerospace earns is basically from orders from Dr. Feng Robotics. Zhifei Aerospace invests in hardware manufacturing, while Dr. Feng Robotics focuses on software, resulting in lower costs and higher profits.

Therefore, while Zhifei Aerospace is indeed developing rapidly, the gap between it and Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group is widening.

Mr. Zhang sighed deeply. More than a year ago, he used to sit at the same table as Cha Lan at some business banquets. At that time, Cha Lan was not as successful as he was. This is why he knew how Cha Lan made his fortune. Of course, some of it was also told to him by Mr. Zhao.

In just one year, everything has changed. He can no longer even get close to Cha Lan. If he wants someone to give him a job, he has to rely on a middleman like Boss Zhao.

This Mr. Zhao, who used to be just a nobody in my eyes, has now become a prominent figure in Jiangzhou, with Mr. Cha's fame spreading far and wide. Most of the people attending tonight know his identity, so they all give him some face.

Mr. Zhao's influence was effective; he took Qin Yun to meet two more people who had just rejected her. Like Mr. Zhang, they gave her face and placed orders ranging from 50 to 80 yuan. In a short time, she secured orders worth nearly 200 million yuan.

I am filled with gratitude for Mr. Zhao. I never expected to meet someone like Chen Xiao who is so kind to help me.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhao smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Qin, how about it? My network of contacts is pretty good, isn't it?"

Qin Yun was already grateful to him, and besides, his connections were indeed impressive. She smiled and said, "You really are the most capable person I know—"

Thinking to himself, although Chen Xiao was good at business, when it came to connections, he obviously couldn't possibly know as many important people as President Zhao.

"President Qin, would you like to cooperate with Zhifei Aerospace?"

Mr. Zhao's voice seemed to have a seductive quality, and Qin Yun's breathing quickened. Zhifei Aerospace—who wouldn't want to cooperate with them? Establishing a partnership with such a company was equivalent to having a large corporation backing them, which would greatly help their market expansion. Moreover, a large company like Zhifei Aerospace could likely provide numerous business orders, and payments would be relatively quick.

Payment in advance? Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the business Chen Xiao had introduced—it always involved payment upfront. She had never encountered a customer like that before. From this perspective, Chen Xiao was quite ruthless.

Without a second thought, Qin Yun nodded quickly in response to Mr. Zhao's question, "Of course I want to. Mr. Zhao, are you willing to help me?"

Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "It's not really helping. I could call it helping once or twice, but I can't keep helping forever."

Qin Yun's expression turned serious. So, President Zhao still needed compensation, but that was normal. Who would help you for no reason?

"Mr. Zhao, please name your price. How much is the compensation?"

"Name your price? Money? Mr. Qin, do you think I'm short of money?"

Qin Yun frowned. He shouldn't be short of money, right? With his connections, so many people wanted him to introduce them to Zhifei Aerospace's business; he could earn a considerable amount by acting as a middleman and taking a cut. But what else could he ask for besides money? She couldn't offer him anything else.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"

Mr. Zhao gave a mysterious smile. “Mr. Qin, if we become one of our own, then I won’t need your help anymore, and I can just do my own thing.”

Suddenly realizing, he said, "Mr. Zhao, you want to invest in my company? It's not impossible, we can talk." His face turned cold. Was this woman genuinely clueless or pretending? "I have absolutely no interest in your little company—"

Qin Yun was displeased because the other person's tone was full of contempt for her company. "Then you—?"

"If you become my woman, wouldn't I be doing things for myself?" President Zhao took a step forward, revealing his true intentions.

Qin Yun took two steps back, looking disappointed. It turned out he was no different from the others. It turned out that Chen Xiao was the only one willing to help me for free. I knew there weren't that many good people like Chen Xiao in the world.

Chen Xiao, who was watching this scene from afar, had no idea that he had been given the "friend zone" card.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I can't do it—"

"Can't do it? You've used my connections, you've secured the orders, and now you're telling me it can't be done? You want to get all the benefits without contributing anything?"

Qin Yun bit her lip. "I'll give up all the orders you introduced to me."

Mr. Zhao sneered, "You've wasted my network of connections. How are you going to compensate me?"

How could this person be so shameless? I've already given up, what more do you want? What a waste of your connections! Qin Yun was furious, finding this person utterly disgusting. She glanced at Chen Xiao, then decided to skip the business and chat with him instead; it would have been a good time.

Qin Yun felt disgusted. She had thought this person was quite nice before, a stranger who had helped her out of hardship. Now, however, his true colors had been revealed, and his ugly side was on full display.

"Excuse me, I have something to attend to. Please excuse me."

She turned to leave, but Mr. Zhao wouldn't allow it and grabbed her arm. Qin Yun was startled and instinctively slapped him.

The sound of a snap was so crisp that it immediately attracted the attention of those around, who all turned to look.

"Hey, isn't that General Manager Zhao? Why did someone slap him?"

"Yeah, who's so fierce that they dare to hit even President Zhao?"

"Wasn't that girl the one who just came to talk business with us? She's from Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd., a small business owner. She makes a living in the tech industry, how could she dare to offend President Zhao? I'm afraid if President Zhao gives the word, no one will dare to cooperate with her anymore."

"Hmph, I guess Mr. Zhao has his eye on her beauty, and she's probably not appreciating his good looks."

"A beautiful woman who knows how to use her beauty has it as an asset; one who doesn't know how to use it has it as a disaster."

"You dare hit me?" Mr. Zhao covered his face, looking at Qin Yun with a ferocious expression.

Qin Yun's reaction was instinctive and she realized that she might have embarrassed Mr. Zhao. "I'm sorry, it was an instinctive reaction. I apologize."

"Heh, apologize? If apologies were useful, what would be the point of having constables? Today you only have two choices: either become my girlfriend, or your company will be shut down. Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd., right? I'll remember that. In Jiangzhou, anyone who dares to do business with you will be shut down. You can believe I can do it."

Qin Yun's face paled. She was doomed; he had just told her everything about her company. She had no doubt about his capabilities. Just now, she'd heard from General Manager Zhang that General Manager Cha of Zhifei Aerospace was his brother-in-law. In Jiangzhou's tech companies, who would want to offend General Manager Cha?

Sure enough, a group of people who wanted to pledge their loyalty to General Manager Zhao had already gathered around.

"Is this Mr. Qin? Today's banquet is attended by prominent figures. Your behavior is a disgrace to our business community. If you cannot gain Mr. Zhao's forgiveness, I hereby declare that from today onwards, Feiyun Technology Co., Ltd. will be blacklisted by our company and will never be a partner again."

"Yes, our company will no longer cooperate with Feiyun Technology Company from now on."

Mr. Zhang, who had just agreed to give her the order, arrived at that moment. "I'm sorry, the order we just discussed has been cancelled, and there is no possibility of us cooperating again in the future."

Qin Yun's face was filled with sorrow. So many people were bullying her, a weak woman, and no one cared who was right or wrong. She, the victim, was now the one being condemned by everyone. Where was justice? Where was fairness?

She thought of Chen Xiao again. He had painstakingly laid the foundation for her; with that 200 million yuan order, she had the confidence to pursue rapid development, which was why she attended today's entrepreneurs' banquet. But now she had messed it up, and the company had no future prospects. She had let Chen Xiao down. She listened to the whispers around her, all pointing fingers at him, and heard General Manager Zhao's cold laughter. She gritted her teeth, trying not to cry, and desperately searched for Chen Xiao's direction, wanting to ask him what to do.

But she couldn't go to Chen Xiao at this time, because that might drag him down. He was a salesman, and if he offended these bigwigs in the business world, he would definitely not get any orders in the future and would lose his job.

"Hey, where did Chen Xiao go? He was just by that floor-to-ceiling window a moment ago—"

Qin Yun was surrounded by people, and she didn't have time to look for Chen Xiao. Finally, someone spoke up for her. A sweet voice, seemingly indignant, said, "Hey, bosses, when you criticize others, shouldn't you first find out the truth? What if they are the victims? It's not in line with your status to gang up on a victim."

She was very grateful to this person, the only one who stood up to speak. She looked up and saw a tall, sweet-looking woman with dimples. There were several other beautiful girls standing next to her, each with their own unique charm. Qin Yun guessed they were probably car models.

Cha Lan was surrounded by a group of tech bigwigs from Jiangzhou. Those who thought they could talk to Cha Lan were all there. People like President Zhang were too far behind and couldn't get a word in edgewise, so they could only fawn over President Cha's brother-in-law from the sidelines.

The commotion over there also caught the attention of those here, and someone reminded them, "President Cha, it seems that something has happened to President Zhao. Should we go and check on him?"

I'm getting annoyed. This bastard is always causing trouble. Mr. Chen is still here today. Isn't he trying to make things difficult for me?

"Never mind him, it would be better if he got beaten to death—he's always causing trouble outside."

The bystanders chuckled dryly, thinking to themselves, "If he weren't your brother-in-law, would he dare to be so arrogant? A year ago, that Zhao guy wouldn't even be worthy of shining shoes for these people. Now he's practically risen to power, a well-known broker in the business world, as if there's nothing in Jiangzhou he can't handle."

Cha Lan said he wouldn't interfere, but he still glanced over there, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. "Everyone, I'll go take a look."

I have no choice but to go. That guy is going, and Zhao Cheng, that bastard, shouldn't offend him, or things will get messy.

The one who spoke up for Qin Yun was Xie Xiaoxiao. This girl had a bit of a chivalrous spirit; when Zhao Cheng tried to chat her up earlier, she knew he wasn't a good person. Now, seeing them ganging up on someone, she couldn't help but stand up for them.

Several car models beside her tugged at her, telling her not to cause trouble. Zhao Cheng stared at her with a gloomy expression. "Xie Xiaoxiao, you think I can't blacklist you, right? You think I can only influence the tech industry? Let me tell you, I have influence over Junxiao Group too. Do you think I can or can't blacklist you?"

hiss--

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Many people knew and fawned over Zhao Cheng because of his brother-in-law relationship. Cha Lan was someone they looked up to from afar. They also knew about Cha Lan's rise to wealth, which was said to be related to Junxiao Group and Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. It was rumored that Cha Lan was in charge of the land reclamation project in the South China Sea, a project worth trillions of dollars. One could imagine his relationship with the boss of Junxiao Group.

Previously, when Zhao Cheng chatted with them, he occasionally mentioned that he had influence in Junxiao Group, but this was the first time he had said it in public.

The car models' expressions changed, and they even moved away from Xie Xiaoxiao. Junxiao Group was too terrifying; they couldn't afford to mess with them!
Xie Xiaoxiao snorted: "What's there to be afraid of? I've earned enough money to live on now. At worst, I can retire now and become a live streamer. That would be great too."

She's in her early twenties, the prime of her life, and for her to talk about retiring now seems utterly ridiculous. Qin Yun looked at her, feeling grateful that there are still people in this world who dare to speak the truth and uphold justice.

Zhao Cheng's face immediately darkened. "Fine, you've messed with me. I'll give you three days to figure out how to get me to let you go. Otherwise, when I use my influence to have Junxiao Group blacklist you, I hope you'll stand your ground—"

Snapped--

what--

"Fuck your sister, you bastard!"

The sound of "Ah!" came from Zhao Cheng. Before he knew it, he was slapped again. Just as he was about to retaliate, he heard the voice of the person who hit him and immediately became quiet.

Cha Lan was furious. Damn it, he was bragging about how influential he was in Junxiao Group in front of President Chen, while President Chen was standing just three meters away, coldly staring at them. Wasn't this just ruining Junxiao Group's reputation?

"Ah, brother-in-law—"

"Don't call me brother-in-law, you bastard, you're always using my name outside—" Then he turned to the group of entrepreneurs who were completely clueless and said, "Today, in front of everyone, I want to clarify something. The things Zhao Cheng promised outside only represent him personally. His influence at Zhifei Aerospace is zero. If any of you have been deceived by him, go ahead and deal with him. Don't give me face. I guarantee that I will not only not hold you accountable, but I will also thank you for helping me clean house."

"Brother-in-law, you—"

Zhao Cheng was shocked. After reading this, how could he ever face anyone again?
People around were already whispering among themselves. They had all heard Zhao Cheng say that his brother-in-law's fortune was built on the support of the Zhao family, which was why they treated him so well. Zhao Cheng also had a lot of influence with Cha Lan, which was why he had become a guest of honor in everyone's household. He even set up a company that specialized in introducing people to connections, and it was said that business was so good that people had to make appointments in advance to come to his company.

Now that Cha Lan has said this, everyone needs to reconsider. After all, Cha Lan said that what Zhao Cheng said has nothing to do with him and has zero impact on Zhifei Aerospace.

"Shut up—", Cha Lan was furious. You caused trouble, fine, but why did you have to use Junxiao Group's name? He couldn't say anything now, because President Chen was right next to him.

"I've been bullied, you—"

Cha Lan suddenly looked at Qin Yun and was immediately startled—(End of this chapter)
