My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan
Chapter 623 She has a husband and a baby.
None of them expected that in just a few months, the special assistant to the chairman of Junxiao Hotel Management Group would transform into the chairman of Junxiao Supermarket. This leap shocked everyone.
"You guys go ahead and do your work, you don't need to stay with me."
"Yes, Mr. Han! Please let me know if you need anything."
Even after walking a distance, she was still wondering what kind of person could deserve to be personally greeted by President Han. Soon, she learned that a convoy consisting of a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and several Mercedes-Benz GLSs had parked in front of the hotel. Several short-haired young women entered the lobby first, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, checking for any potential risks.
The hotel general manager gasped. This was the usual setup for Junxiao Group, but it was even bigger than those of General Manager Gao and General Manager Han. It could only be someone at a higher level. Who was it? Did we even need to guess?
A refined and gentle young man entered with three beautiful women, especially the one beside him. The manager was a graduate of the Chinese Department of Tsinghua University, but when faced with her, she found herself at a loss for words. No amount of beautiful words could adequately describe her beauty. It was unbelievable that there was a woman even more beautiful than President Han.
Although I didn't know who they were, I had a vague idea in my mind—in Junxiao Group, the only people with more prestige than President Gao were President Xu and the big boss, right? But is the big boss really that young?
Chen Xiao and his group did not linger, as it would easily attract attention, and quickly went to their private presidential suite via the private elevator.
At this moment, Chen Xiao sent a message to Zhao Hui, telling him that he had arrived in Tianning.
On the sofa in the living room, Han Xue talked about the situation of Junxiao Supermarket. Since it opened in the morning, the sales volume has exceeded 500 million yuan. At this rate, it is very likely that it will exceed 1200 million yuan on the first day of opening.
This is truly an exaggeration. While supermarkets and hypermarkets in the past weren't as large as they are now, they were still about half the size. Yet, their total monthly sales were less than 2000 million yuan. Today, Junxiao Hypermarket sold half a month's worth of sales in just one day of opening.
Zhao Hui had a meeting with the second-in-command of Tianning City that afternoon, during which he was definitely not allowed to use his phone. After the meeting ended, he picked up his phone and saw a message from Chen Xiao. He was immediately shocked, and what surprised him even more was that his sister had also come.
He frowned. How could he possibly attend the banquet at the Entrepreneurs Club that night? No gathering was more important than the reception work for President Chen and his sister.
"Xiangjun said to keep your own business in mind. We're just here to take a walk and get some fresh air, so don't let it affect your work—", Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun both know him, so they gave him special instructions.
The entrepreneurs' gathering that evening was also at the Junxiao Hotel. Zhao Hui contacted the organizers to move his speech forward so he could finish early and go see Chen Xiao and his sister.
Because Chen Xiao came, Han Xue no longer went to the scene and instead directed operations remotely by phone. In fact, even if she went to the scene, she wouldn't be able to get in; the scene was in complete chaos. Fortunately, they had anticipated this and deployed a large number of support personnel.
"Xiangjun, shall we eat in the room tonight, or go out to eat?"
Xiangjun looked at Han Xue and the others, "I remember Han Xue said that this restaurant's buffet is the best among all Junxiao hotels, why don't we go and try it?"
Chen Xiao pulled her closer, worried that Han Xue and the others might find it boring to eat in the room. The point of bringing them out was to have fun; keeping them cooped up in the room would defeat the purpose of the trip.
"Let's go to the buffet then," Chen Xiao suggested. "It's been a long time since I've had that." He Qing and Wang Ping exchanged a glance, recalling the scene when they first met Chen Xiao. Back then, Chen Xiao gave He Qing a VIP card that allowed her to spend freely at the Junxiao Hotel, something that Wang Ping and the others had envied immensely. Thinking back now, that scene still felt like it was just yesterday.
The hotel's buffet restaurant boasts a grand design. A 7-meter-high atrium is adorned with Swarovski crystal waterfall lights, each costing 280 million yuan. Italian Poltrona Frau leather dining chairs (each costing 8 yuan) are spaced at least 1.5 meters apart to ensure privacy.
The food is also high-end, featuring auction-grade Hokkaido sea urchin, Australian Mayura Station chocolate Wagyu beef, and century-old Parma ham from Italy. However, high-end is relative; compared to the daily meals at Xishan Linyu Villa, this is like comparing a street food stall to this.
"Chen Xiao, do you want to get the food, or should I get it for you?" Zhao Xiangjun knew he was a lazy person and would definitely not want to do it himself.
He Qing chuckled, "Sister, let me get it for him."
Chen Xiao was initially a little embarrassed to have Xiangjun fetch it, given Xiangjun's pregnancy. Having He Qing fetch it, well, that meant she had no qualms about it.
"Okay, I'll leave it to He Qing. Keep an eye on things and don't crowd together—"
The group arrived a bit early; the buffet restaurant wasn't crowded. Also, the prices here are quite high, so most people consider the cost before dining here.
Zhao Xiangjun wasn't interested in the seafood buffet, but after searching for a while, she finally found her target:
Hot pot with freshly cooked Wagyu beef and spicy broth. The broth is made with Sichuan Hanyuan peppercorns and Pixian broad bean paste, and enhanced with French goose bone broth. The side dishes include freshly sliced Japanese A5 Wagyu beef, Yunnan matsutake mushrooms, and organic pea sprouts.
The reason I chose this is because one of the spiciness options is "Hellfire Spicy".
"You...you are Zhao Xiangjun?"
Zhao Xiangjun had chosen her meal and was accompanying He Qing and the others when she suddenly heard someone call her name. Turning her head, she saw a young man of about 25 or 6 years old looking at her with surprise and delight.
"who are you?"
He Qing, Han Xue, and Wang Ping also stopped and looked over. The man was somewhat disappointed. "I'm your junior high school classmate, Wang Qiang, who sat at the table next to you."
He shook his head. "I'm sorry, I don't remember. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Wang Qiang looked resentful, wishing he could recite "The Furthest Distance in the World." The goddess he secretly admired had appeared, but unfortunately, she didn't remember him at all.
“We’re not only classmates, but we also come from neighboring villages. I’m from the village next to yours.”
"Oh—", Zhao Xiangjun said nothing more. Then she turned to He Qing and the others and said, "Hurry up and get the food, Chen Xiao must be hungry."
Seeing that the goddess was ignoring him completely, Wang Qiang tried to strike up a conversation again: "Zhao Xiangjun, do you work in Tianning now? What a coincidence, I'm in Tianning too."
I currently work at Junxiao Supermarket. Do you know Junxiao Supermarket? It's a subsidiary of Junxiao Group, a super well-known enterprise in Jiangzhou and even nationwide. Our first store in Tianning opened today, and business is booming! Let me tell you, this subsidiary has huge potential for future growth. I heard you sell clothing in Jiangzhou, which is similar to our business. Are you interested in working at Junxiao Supermarket? I can recommend you. Let me put it this way, I have some influence within this company.”
Han Xue and the others all looked at him. Zhao Xiangjun sighed, "I'm working in my own home, and I still need you to recommend me?" "Wang Qiang, right? I understand. I wish you success at work. Go eat, we need to eat too, my husband is waiting for me."
"Ah—, your husband? You're married." Wang Qiang's heart shattered. Back in his school days, he had felt ashamed of himself and didn't even have the courage to talk to his goddess.
In the two years since graduation, especially now, I've finally made something of myself. A while ago, I went back to my hometown and organized a junior high school reunion, just to find out about Zhao Xiangjun. Unfortunately, the goddess rarely keeps in touch with these classmates. They only know that she sells clothes in Jiangzhou, but they don't even know which company she works for.
He thought it was a stroke of luck to run into her here today, but who would have thought that his goddess had gotten married? Good heavens, why did you give me hope only to plunge me into despair the very next second?
"Yes, not only did I get married, but I'm also pregnant—"
A bolt from the blue, a series of devastating blows—
Zhao Xiangjun and several beautiful women had been gone for a long time, but Wang Qiang was still standing there, wondering if his struggles were still meaningful.
"Manager Wang, Manager Wang—", several of his colleagues called out to him.
"So many delicious foods, but you couldn't find anything you liked?"
Wang Qiang smiled bitterly. He had been starving when he arrived, but now he had no appetite at all. He had wanted to compete with the girl since she had a boyfriend. But now that his goddess was married and pregnant, it seemed he had no chance at all.
I wonder which lucky man was to have a woman like Zhao Xiangjun.
He casually grabbed some food, and when he was looking for a place to sit, he was still unwilling to give up, so he found a spot where he could see Zhao Xiangjun from afar.
Wang Qiang saw that lucky man; he was actually enjoying being fed fruit by Zhao Xiangjun. Watching Zhao Xiangjun use a fork to pick up fruit and put it into the man's mouth, Wang Qiang was consumed by jealousy. Just who was this man to make Zhao Xiangjun willing to have his child?
However, as he looked further, he became confused. It wasn't just Zhao Xiangjun feeding him fruit; a stylish, beautiful, and seemingly gentle woman was also feeding him fruit. What was going on? How could he, Zhao Xiangjun's husband, dare to be so arrogant and flirt with other women in front of her?
"Manager Wang, business is booming at the store today. We had previously estimated that Junxiao Supermarket would be considered a great success if it could sell 500 million on its opening day, but judging from the current situation, it's a sure thing to sell over 1000 million today."
Of course they're happy. If the company does well, their careers will rise accordingly. Promotions and raises in the future are only to be expected.
These people all jumped ship from other top-tier supermarkets and hypermarkets. Junxiao Hypermarket has very high recruitment requirements, but the compensation is also very high, almost twice the industry average, and that's just the base salary. Employees of the Junxiao Group know that a large portion of their income comes from bonuses. Some long-time employees, who are familiar with other parts of the Junxiao Group, say that sometimes the year-end bonus is more than their annual salary.
Wang Qiang is a category manager in the store. Today was a great day for opening sales. Everyone worked hard. The store specially arranged a buffet voucher from Junxiao Group for everyone so that they could come in batches to experience the high-end buffet.
"I heard the buffet here costs 599 yuan per person. Normally, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford it."
"Let alone 599, I wouldn't even be willing to eat it for 299 per person. But if we were here, once our income is stable, maybe we could bring our family here occasionally to try it out."
Listening to their words, Wang Qiang nodded perfunctorily, his gaze never leaving Zhao Xiangjun. That man was despicable! With such a beautiful wife as Zhao Xiangjun, he still flirted with other women right in front of her. How could he bully Zhao Xiangjun like that?
Several times Wang Qiang couldn't help but want to stand up for Zhao Xiangjun, but he held back after thinking about it. What if he exposed the matter? Wouldn't that embarrass Zhao Xiangjun? Oh well, he'd better just bear with it.
At this moment, the gentle woman beside the man stood up and let another woman, whose beauty was only slightly inferior to Zhao Xiangjun's, sit down next to him. Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the woman was gone. At least he couldn't be affectionate with someone else in front of Zhao Xiangjun.
Then, in the next second, Wang Qiang flew into a rage and stood up.
This was intolerable! The beautiful woman had barely sat down when the man reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, right in front of Zhao Xiangjun. Wang Qiang's eyes widened in fury; he was determined to teach that man a lesson today.
"What's wrong, Manager Wang?" Several colleagues around him didn't understand why Manager Wang was suddenly so angry.
"It's alright, I'll be right back, you guys eat—", Wang Qiang's inner power had already exploded, how dare that scoundrel bully Zhao Xiangjun like this.
"Oh—President Song is here!"
Upon hearing the name "General Manager Song," Wang Qiang's anger dissipated instantly. Turning around, he saw that it was General Manager Song of Junxiao Supermarket who was accompanying a powerful-looking middle-aged man.
"It seems that General Manager Song is accompanied by General Manager Qin, the Deputy General Manager of the Operations Center at headquarters. This big shot is here too."
Mr. Song, who was accompanying Mr. Qin, was respectful, not exactly obsequious, but anyone could see his nervousness. Mr. Qin glanced in their direction and suddenly quickened his pace to come over.
Wang Qiang immediately stood up straight, and as they approached, he and several colleagues shouted in unison, "Hello, President Qin! Hello, President Song!"
President Qin glanced at them, paused briefly, and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work—" Anyone could see his perfunctory attitude, but the group was still flattered. This was a high-ranking leader from the headquarters of Junxiao Supermarket. Don't underestimate them just because they were low-level managers in the store; compared to him, they were countless levels below. President Qin's annual salary was said to be over 5 million, and with bonuses, it was close to 10 million. They were many levels below him.
"Manager Wang, it seems General Manager Qin and the others went towards that table—"
Wang Qiang, of course, saw it and was quite puzzled. The group hurried over to Zhao Xiangjun's table. Wang Qiang saw that President Qin's usually arrogant face had suddenly become extremely respectful, whispering something to the stunningly beautiful woman, much like his own attitude when reporting to President Song.
Meanwhile, President Song stood to the side, arms crossed, head bowed, forcing a smile. He was a far cry from his usual confident demeanor; he looked like a schoolchild facing a teacher after making a mistake. (End of Chapter)
