My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan
Chapter 615 Chen Xiao, are you going to control your wife?
The girl's smile had vanished. "I really admire how you can say something like that without batting an eye."
Doesn't Chen Xiao know what's so shameful about telling the truth?
"Why do you have no ambition at all? You look so lazy."
"No, beautiful. My mom doesn't care about me, so why would you? Besides, if I were more ambitious, how would others survive? I should at least leave them a way to live."
Believe it or not, if Mr. Wang knew you were advising me to be more ambitious, he would roast you mercilessly.
The girl looked at me like I was an idiot. "I'm asking you, how much dowry are you going to prepare for when you get married?"
Dowry? The Zhao family didn't ask for any dowry at all. "Isn't my face priceless? What do you need a dowry for? How much money could be worth more than my face?"
The girl snorted and stood up: "Whether a face is valuable or not has nothing to do with how thick it is. I've figured you out now, so here's a piece of advice: 'Any girl who's interested in you is truly blind.'"
Chen Xiao was furious at these words. "You can say whatever you want, but how can you say my Xiangjun is blind? I don't care if you're related to He Qing, this is absolutely unforgivable!" Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly heard a shout from the entrance, "What are you doing here?"
Chen Xiao and the girl turned their heads at the same time, only to see a stunningly beautiful woman in a cheongsam standing beside a sea of flowers, looking in their direction. The moment she stood at the entrance, it was as if someone had suddenly lowered the saturation of the entire world—
The once vibrant sea of flowers suddenly went out of focus after she appeared, becoming a blurred background. The slanting rays of the setting sun coated her with a "glassy halo," as if she had a built-in soft-focus filter.
Her voice was like "a chilled plum falling into a silver bowl," clear yet with an undeniable graininess. When Chen Xiao saw Zhao Xiangjun, all his anger dissipated, and he stood up and called out, "Xiangjun."
The girl stared at Zhao Xiangjun for a long time, as if her nervous system had crashed when faced with beauty that transcended human comprehension.
"who is she?"
"My wife—"
"Are you sick in the head? Do you even deserve it?"
Chen Xiao turned to look at her. Who the hell is crazy? What did I do to offend you?
Just then, Xiangjun came over and said to the girl, "I'm sorry, Jiang Tao's car had a little accident on the way and is on its way now. Please sit for a while and have some tea."
Hmm? It seems Xiangjun knows this girl. Who is Jiang Tao? Xu Jia's cousin? What are they here for?
Hearing Xiangjun's words, the girl was stunned and pointed at Chen Xiao, saying, "Is this person an imposter? Who is he?"
Zhao Xiangjun frowned, disliking the way she addressed Chen Xiao—what did she mean by "imposter"? "He's my real husband, no doubt about it!!!" she said, walking up to Chen Xiao, taking his hand, and whispering, "They're on a blind date, what are you doing here?"
Okay, just as I guessed. "Well, let's go downstairs," I said, pulling Zhao Xiangjun along. We'd only taken a few steps when the girl behind us called out.
Chen Xiao turned around and heard her say, "You can repeat the question I just asked you to Jiang Tao. Consider it an open-book exam for him. If he can't even pass this, then he's really hopeless."
Xiangjun looked at him curiously, wondering what question he had asked. Chen Xiao smiled, "Then can I have the standard answers? It's an open-book exam, you can look up the book."
"Even a fool knows the standard answer to my question."
Okay, I got called an idiot again. I took Zhao Xiangjun back to He Qing's office and told her and Xu Jia about the questions the girl had asked earlier. When she heard that the girl had mistaken Chen Xiao for Jiang Tao, Xiangjun chuckled and said, "Chen Xiao, you're not suited for blind dates. You've never succeeded in any of them."
Clearly, she was reminded of the blind date her family had arranged when she first got together with Chen Xiao. That person had even brought her boyfriend along, but she wasn't bad either, as she had brought Zhao Xiangjun along as an observer.
Chen Xiao, thick-skinned, chuckled: "There aren't many people in this world who know their stuff, but luckily my Xiangjun has a discerning eye."
Zhao Xiangjun exclaimed, "Pig? What pig?"
Knowing that she was being mischievous again, and now that she was pregnant, Chen Xiao really couldn't do anything about it. At home, seeing Zhao Xiangjun like this made Chen Xiao feel good, because Zhao Xiangjun was socially awkward and rarely interacted with others outside, only joking around with family members, which also showed that she was in a good mood at that moment.
Xu Jia frowned. "From what I've heard, this girl doesn't seem like a good match. Is she that materialistic? Maybe we should let her go. I don't think she's a good fit for Jiang Tao."
"Here we go again—" Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at her. "She doesn't even know Jiang Tao, there's no emotional foundation, what can they talk about besides material things? Besides, whether they're suitable or not, you should let Jiang Tao meet her first and see what he thinks. In the end, you're not even allowed to live with her, and you're already complaining."
Before Xu Jia could say anything more, Zhao Xiangjun directly exposed her past: "When you went on a blind date with Ren Jie, didn't you also consider his family's financial situation? You even said that it would be too embarrassing to marry him if the bride price was too low, but I see that you two are doing quite well now."
"Hey, hey, you can say whatever you want, but don't bring up my past. Wasn't I young back then?" Xu Jia said, somewhat embarrassed.
"You're still young. Go look at that girl. Compared to her, you look a bit weathered."
Xu Jia gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Xiao: "Mr. Chen, are you going to take care of your wife or not? If not, I'll take care of her for you."
Chen Xiao put his arm around Zhao Xiangjun and said, "If you were that capable, would you have put up with all this for so many years?"
Xu Jia immediately deflated like a punctured balloon; she had no way to deal with Zhao Xiangjun.
I called Jiang Tao, who was already at the front desk when he received Xu Jia's call, asking if I wanted to come over.
"Just go upstairs and meet them. You've already wasted half an hour. Come to my office and find me and your sister Xiangjun when you're done."
"This guy, he can even be late for a blind date, it's like he's already been fed milk—" After saying that, he realized his slip of the tongue and looked at Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun, only to find that the couple hadn't even noticed him. The two of them were like little kids, playing an arm-wrestling game. Chen Xiao, however, couldn't use any real strength, just maintaining a certain level of power while playfully joking with Zhao Xiangjun.
“How old are you? Sigh—” Xu Jia shook her head. Rumors circulated that the boss of Junxiao Group was a monster, but who would have thought that when the two bosses were together, they were like mischievous children, playing around with each other every day.
About half an hour later, Jiang Tao called to say he had arrived at the office door. Xu Jia opened the door and led him in, saying, "Xiao Tao, call him brother-in-law."
Brother-in-law? Jiang Tao was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Xiang Jun's side, and quickly called out "brother-in-law" while sizing up the mysterious boss of Junxiao Group.
After parting ways with Xu Guang last time, Jiang Tao was forbidden from seeing him again. Xu Jia also took Jiang Tao to Zhao Xiangjun's house, where he saw the villa Xu Guang had boasted was his, but it turned out to be Xiangjun's home. He also learned that Xiangjun's husband was the boss of Junxiao Group. Jiang Tao was stunned. He had initially had some ideas, but after learning about Xiangjun's current situation and his cousin's career trajectory, he completely gave up and became utterly indecisive.
This is a smart choice. With such a strong backer, why would you need to have your own opinions?
Chen Xiao nodded. "Come, sit down."
Xiangjun then asked, "How are you feeling?"
Jiang Tao thought for a moment, and just when Xu Jia thought he was dissatisfied, he spoke: "Excellent, practical—"
"Wait a minute," Xu Jia interrupted him.
"Putting aside whether she's pretty or not, you say she's practical, but where does that come from?" This completely contradicts what Chen Xiao just said about her image.
Jiang Tao took the tea Xu Jia offered, took a sip, and said excitedly, "Her requirements aren't high; she only needs a 150-square-meter house."
Xu Jia was taken aback. "And then?"
"She only buys BMWs."
"Isn't this high?" Although these things were no longer a burden for him, for a young man who had just graduated, they were unimaginable hardships.
"Is that too high? She didn't ask for a villa or a Rolls-Royce, and the bride price is still 88 yuan."
"My God," Xu Jia said, rubbing her forehead. "Your conditions aren't high. You're comparing her conditions to your sister Xiangjun's life. A villa, a Rolls-Royce? What makes you think you deserve that?"
Jiang Tao took another sip of water, picked up his phone, changed the girl's contact name to "Little Fairy," and then said, "Didn't you always tell me that if you love her, you should give her the best?"
Xu Jia got angry, "I'm saying, what makes you think you have the financial means? You're still unemployed."
"Also, did you set any conditions for her? Since you're dating, if she has requirements, you should have them too."
Jiang Tao immediately replied, "Of course there is! How could I not mention anything?"
"Not bad, there's still hope for this child." Xu Jia nodded slightly: "What did you ask for?"
"I told her that after we get married, all the housework must be done by me; she can't take it from me. I want to be a model husband, and since she loves me, she should support me—"
Pfft—, Xu Jia sprayed it out!
"Jiang Tao, this woman is not right for you."
"But none of the people who are suitable for me are interested in me, otherwise why would I still be single? This one is pretty good, she's beautiful, and, well, she knows how to manage a household—"
Chen Xiao whispered in Xiang Jun's ear, "Has this kid never seen a woman before?"
Xiangjun nodded, and just as Chen Xiao was about to turn away, she said, "Then I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as you—"
Goodness, is this a warning to himself? Chen Xiao pretended to be oblivious and stopped mentioning Jiang Tao.
Xu Jia, probably feeling a bit embarrassed, stood up and said to Jiang Tao, "Where did you learn all this? To act like a man like this—"
“I learned it from my brother-in-law,” Jiang Tao said confidently.
Oh my god, Xu Jia felt like throwing up; she'd been poisoned by Ren Jie. "Come on, come home with me, we need to have a good talk—"
He quickly said goodbye to Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun; he couldn't afford to embarrass himself here.
"Xiangjun, shall we go out for a walk, or go home later?" He felt Zhao Xiangjun was getting a little bored at home, and since he was keeping her company, he wanted to take her out for a stroll. Just then, He Qing and Wang Ping, having finished resting, came in from outside. Zhao Xiangjun asked, "Do you two want to go out for a walk? We have our 'knights in shining armor' today—"
Zhao Xiangjun didn't mind; she could stay home alone for ten or eight days without a problem. But He Qing was worried that it would be too boring for her to be with her every day.
"Tonight is Junxing Auto Night. In the auditorium of Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, car enthusiasts and media from all over the country, as well as some internet celebrities and celebrity car owners, have gathered to share their car stories and appreciate the Junxing M8. At the same time, the soon-to-be-launched Junxing S8 will also be on display, but only the exterior can be seen, not the interior."
"I can't see the interior either?" Zhao Xiangjun blinked.
"Of course not—"
"Why did you give such a detailed introduction? I thought you used to be a host, that's why you gave such a detailed introduction."
She was deliberately trying to provoke him, Chen Xiao understood, and turned to ask, "He Qing, Wang Ping, do you want to go?"
The two women looked at Zhao Xiangjun at the same time. Xiangjun understood that they had no objections, so she said, "If you want to go, then go and have some fun!"
Chen Xiao immediately sent a message to Xiao Yuting, asking her to arrange for someone to come out and take the group inside.
There were many fans, clients, and media invited this time, and without an invitation, it was impossible to get in. Chen Xiao and his group also didn't want to reveal their identities, otherwise it would be hard to say whether they were there to see the cars or the people.
The group took the hotel's private elevator and went directly into the venue. Xiao Yuting led Zhao Xiangjun and the others to the backstage area, where they were currently live-streaming online. Xu Gang was speaking on stage, and celebrity car owner Yang Mi was sharing her car experiences.
Xiao Yuting led them directly to the banquet venue. There was no one there yet, only the staff were busy.
There's also a stage here, where 400 pressure-sensitive LCD screens are pieced together to form the "Hetu Luoshu" array. When a vehicle drives by, it triggers the corresponding hexagram effect.
The 28-meter-diameter carbon fiber keel screen splits the displayed image into two parts: Left arc: AI dynamic version of "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains"; Right arc: Disassembly comparison of BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class.
The Junxing S8, which will make its debut tonight, is suspended above a 1.5-ton liquid gallium pool, and the reflection of the car body is distorted by an algorithm into the shape of the Nine Dragon Wall of the Forbidden City.
Zhao Xiangjun walked over curiously to pull the door open.
"Hey—beautiful lady—", a staff member nearby quickly stopped her.
Xiao Yuting walked over, but Zhao Xiangjun laughed and said, "It's okay, I won't look. I'll follow the rules." Then she turned to Chen Xiao and made a face: "You're not allowed to look either. Don't get special treatment—"
When the staff member saw Mr. Xiao arrive, he realized he had gone to unnecessary lengths. He guessed that Mr. Xiao was an important person, so he stepped aside.
"Chen Xiao, Yu Ting and I will go to the back to take a look. We'll come find you when the banquet starts."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Chen Jiajun and his men were plotting something again, and he was happy to give them some space.
Isn't this event a bit too complicated? In the first venue, celebrities shared their car ownership stories, and now here, car owners are sharing theirs.
He found a corner to sit down. Everyone else would be sitting in the front, the back, and especially the corner, which was the most suitable place for the Chen family.
He had just sat down when someone came in from the entrance; presumably, the main venue had finished and they were starting to let people in. He quietly looked at the entrance. Hmm? Li Xingxing?
"Isn't this guy's first day at work?" she chuckled. It was almost 7 o'clock; everyone else had already left. Li Xingxing also saw him. It wasn't that he had good eyesight, but the place was empty except for Chen Xiao sitting there; it was impossible not to see him.
She strode over. "Damn, Chen Xiao, I thought I was fast enough, but you eat even faster than me."
"Come on, let's go to the front row, we're closer to the celebrities. Yang Mi is here today too."
"I'm not going to join the fun. If you want to go, go by yourself." He's seen Da Mimi before, and she holds no secrets from him now.
"Forget it, forget it. It'll save you from accusing me of being inhumane because I'm attracted to women. I'll just sit here—"
"No, there won't be a seat for you here later."
Li Xingxing was unhappy. "What's wrong? I was invited here as a die-hard fan of Junxing Motors, so why don't I have a seat yet?"
“These are all your sister-in-law’s seats; it’s not appropriate for you to sit here.”
"What?" Li Xingxing was a little dumbfounded. "These are all my sister-in-law's seats. How can she sit in so many seats? That's too domineering. Besides, since my sister-in-law is here, I should pay my respects. What, are you afraid I'll tell you that you took a woman with you at the bar last night?"
He waved his hand, "You have more sisters-in-law—"
Li Xingxing was stunned. "Damn, Chen Xiao, when did you become so good at joking? You used to be so quiet."
Chen Xiao pointed ahead, "You'd better go and grab a spot before you come and chat with me. It'll be boring for you to sit here tonight."
Li Xingxing shook her head. "I don't believe it. I'm sitting here tonight."
Seeing his reaction, she stopped trying to persuade him. She didn't know if Xiangjun would come or not; she might be eating with Xiao Yuting over there.
"Li Xingxing, how was your day at work?"
“Very good! Didn’t I tell you on the phone this morning that even our department director doesn’t have an office, but I do? Tell me, what kind of treatment is that? Think about how much the boss values me?”
He nodded. His boss did value him, but it wasn't the same kind of value.
"They said that starting tomorrow, the team will take me out to discuss business. The company has high hopes for me, and I must deliver good results to repay them."
"Chen Xiao, let me tell you, I have a grand plan in mind, but I haven't told anyone. Since you're my classmate, I'm letting you in private. If I succeed, I'll be a major contributor to the company."
Looking at him, he hasn't even learned to walk yet, but he already wants to run. I wonder what grand plans he has in mind.
"During lunch today, I chatted with my colleagues and discovered that 95% of our company's business comes from Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group."
Chen Xiao looked at him and thought, "It's not just 95%, it's probably 99%."
"These businesses were taken over by Dr. Feng Robotics from different companies, and then a portion of them were subcontracted to us. Even so, we still managed to achieve such a large scale."
I'm wondering, what if we eliminated the middlemen? Zhifei Aerospace is already this large-scale now; we could negotiate with those companies ourselves, and then share a portion with Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group. Why do they do general contracting? We could do it too.
"Your ideals are lofty, but aren't you afraid that Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group will blacklist you for doing this? If business stops, how will you support so many people in your company? Wouldn't you then be the company's eternal sinner?"
"Damn, that makes sense. How come I didn't think of that? Doesn't this mean we're forcibly tied to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group's chariot?"
Chen Xiao raised his eyelids slightly. "You're really more concerned than the emperor. This is your boss's business, why are you worrying about it? Do you know how many people want to be tied to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group? Only those who can get on the chariot are generals. Those who get off are just grass!"
Li Xingxing retorted, "Chen Xiao, you're being narrow-minded. What does 'when far from the court, one should worry about one's ruler' mean? Our boss values me so much, how can I not consider him? Besides, with the boss valuing me so much, I'm sure I'll be in a high position soon. I need to start thinking about what I should do when I rise to power."
I really don't know whether to tell him or not. Oh well, I should at least give Cha Lan a piece of my mind. Besides, this guy's narcissistic personality needs to be curbed, otherwise he'll never amount to anything.
"Think it over carefully, and then submit a lengthy letter to the boss."
*Clap!* With a slap of his hands, he exclaimed, "Great idea, Chen Xiao! We're finally on the same wavelength!"
"No, if that happens, it will be an indelible stain on my life."
"Damn it, get lost. We're drinking later, I'll get you drunk—" Li Xingxing said casually. Little did he know that he would say such things today. Probably only someone like him, who was unaware of the situation, would dare to say such things. Anyone who knew Chen Xiaoren's identity would never use such vulgar language when speaking to him.
Chen Xiao didn't mind and looked towards the entrance, where more familiar faces entered. "Xie Xiaoxiao~!" Li Xingxing's eyes lit up. "And Qin Ning and Zhang Ruier?"
"So, do you regret it? Want to move to the front row?"
Li Xingxing was somewhat tempted, "How about I go back and come again?"
He waved his hand and said, "Go on, but don't come back. You smell like sweat; you can be smelled from eight feet away."
Li Xingxing's expression changed. "Really? Don't lie to me. The staff just explained that the fresh air system here contains negative oxygen ions and 5nm process dust, giving your breathing a 'chip-level clean feeling.'"
He felt guilty; he'd been sweating all day and hadn't had time to shower after get off work because he was in a rush. Chen Xiao's comment made him feel awkward. He even felt self-conscious about asking the goddesses for autographs, afraid they'd find his sweat smell offensive.
"Yang Mi has come in too. Chen Xiao, I'm going over to get your autograph. You watch your seat for me, I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, he put his bag on the seat and said, "You better watch this carefully, there are several thousand yuan in cash inside."
Chen Xiao ignored him, ignoring the noise, and took out his phone to reply to messages. Feng Feifei had recently gone abroad for research and development and had begun selecting a location for a global R&D center.
When she goes out, she naturally travels by private jet. Junxiao Group currently has four Gulfstream aircraft, which is barely enough for its current needs.
At this moment, Feng Feifei was on her return flight when she texted Chen Xiao to tell him she was back. She didn't say a word about missing Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao could feel that every word was filled with longing.
"Hey, Chen Xiao—, I've noticed you really enjoy playing hide-and-seek." (End of Chapter)
