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

Chen Xiao and Zhao Hui entered from outside the main gate, just missing Han's father.

Xiao Wang's eyes narrowed. "President Zhao?"
He recognized Zhao Hui because when Han Xue came to discuss the Junxiao Supermarket project last time, Zhao Hui personally came to receive her and accompanied her to President Qin's office. Xiao Wang had heard the then-Junwu Plaza's leasing manager mention that this person was their regional general manager.

Xiao Wang knew he couldn't possibly know such an important person, but he didn't know what the young man with President Zhao did. If he could make connections through him, he might get some unexpected benefits.

"Is that Han Xue's tea shop up ahead? Ma Jian seems to have secured authorization in six provinces now, and I heard the business is doing quite well," Chen Xiao asked Zhao Hui at the entrance of the [Snow Falls in Spring Breeze] tea shop.

"With so many people queuing up, the food must taste pretty good, right?"

Zhao Hui chuckled, "Shall I go buy you a cup to try?"

Normally, Chen Xiao would never drink this stuff. But because it was Ma Jian's business, he became interested, nodded, and gestured for Zhao Hui to buy it.

In the distance, Xiao Wang saw Chen Xiao standing there alone, looking around as if he were examining the brand layout of the shopping mall. He walked over and greeted him, "Hey bro, how are you?"

Chen Xiao turned his head. "What's up?"

"I think you're interested in the tea shop? You've been watching the business inside and glancing at the milk tea shop next door every now and then."

Xiao Wang was a little puzzled; in the blink of an eye, he couldn't see Mr. Zhao anymore. However, it wouldn't be good to have a private chat with this young man; if Mr. Zhao were here, it would be inconvenient for him to approach and strike up a conversation.

Chen Xiao nodded again. He was interested, after all, his brother and his woman were both running this business.

"Brother, you have a good idea. The tea business is very profitable. And it's a favorite among young girls, so it's perfect for a shopping mall like this."

Chen Xiao looked at him and asked, "Are you in this line of work too?" He seemed quite experienced.

"Yes, I've been in the tea drink business for several years. Brother, if you want to do this, we can go together. As long as you have the connections to get a spot in the venue, you can leave the management to me. I guarantee you'll make money."

Looking at Xiao Wang, Chen Xiao wondered how he knew he could get a spot in the arena.

It wasn't until Zhao Hui brought out two cups of fruit tea that Xiao Wang realized he knew Zhao Hui and had come over to chat because he saw how familiar Xiao Wang was with him.

Zhao Hui was also confused. Seeing Xiao Wang chatting with Chen Xiao, he thought Chen Xiao had run into an acquaintance in Tianning.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao!" Xiao Wang greeted him with utmost respect.

Zhao Hui nodded. "Hello—"

This brief response was like a godsend to Xiao Wang. If word got out, he would be so proud; he was someone who could chat with General Manager Zhao. He looked around, really hoping that some of the investment or operations staff from Junwu Plaza would see him, so he could use their influence to his advantage.

Seeing Zhao Hui's expression, Chen Xiao knew he had misunderstood, and explained with a smile, "We just met. He said that if I could get a spot here to open a tea shop, he would guarantee that I would make money."

Zhao Hui couldn't help but chuckle. Money was probably the last thing Mr. Chen lacked these days. Any topic was better than talking about money; he had no interest in it whatsoever. So he smiled and said, "You can make money doing anything here."

Xiao Wang quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! It's all thanks to General Manager Zhao's excellent management; everything we do in this mall is profitable."

Chen Xiao smiled, took his drink, and walked forward, with Zhao Hui following behind. Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, but didn't have the courage to follow. Thinking of President Zhao's identity, he felt a chill run down his spine.

【Liyuan】

This is a high-end Chinese restaurant making its debut in Tianning. Their specialty is crispy roasted pork belly (the crispy skin is accurate to a thickness of 1.5mm).

"This is the first high-end Chinese restaurant we introduced after acquiring this project," Zhao Hui explained.

"Let's go try it then—" Chen Xiao didn't care what he ate. It had been a long time since he'd eaten at a shopping mall, so this was a chance to experience life.

I sent a message to Zhao Xiangjun, asking if they wanted to go out for a meal. They replied quickly, and as expected, they had absolutely no interest in coming to a crowded place like this. She said she'd eaten in her room and would go out for a walk with He Qing and the others in the afternoon.

Chen Xiao put down her phone and looked at the long line of people outside Liyuan Restaurant. "Looks like we won't be able to eat there—"

"I'll ask their manager to arrange it."

He waved his hand and said, "We won't give you special privileges. There are so many customers queuing outside. If we cut in line, the boss will incite public outrage."

Zhao Hui laughed, "Don't worry, the owner has a small private room that's not open to the public. If it's still there, we'll go to that room. If it's not, we'll go to another one."

That's fine. Zhao Hui went in to make the arrangements. Chen Xiao leaned back against the railing, watching the flow of people in the mall. There were far more people than when she first came here.

Not only are there many customers, but there are also many beautiful women. Young, fashionable girls in Tianning with some spending power mainly shop at Junwu Plaza, while those with slightly less spending power shop at Junxiao Plaza. Those who go to Junxiao City are the most upscale consumers, with fewer young people among them. The three commercial plazas, each with its own distinct customer base, are clearly separated.

"Oh, what a coincidence—"

When Chen Xiao turned around, he saw the regional investment manager he had seen in the regional office of Junxiao Commercial Management, and standing next to him was the person he had met in the negotiation room.

"Sometimes being clever isn't necessarily a good thing." If it weren't for Chen Xiao constantly hanging around, this seemingly insignificant person might not even be remembered.

He told President Qin to replace this person as soon as possible, but after meeting Zhao Hui, the two chatted and forgot about it. Now, this person has been brought back to him.

"Mr. Fu, did you see that? So arrogant, huh? Which brand are you from?" Mr. Fu? Chen Xiao glanced at the man she had met in the negotiation room and only now realized that his surname was Fu.

"Arrogant? I think you're even more arrogant than me. I'm curious, you know I visited your regional general manager, Mr. Zhao, this morning, how can you still be so fearless? Aren't you afraid at all?"

"Hahaha—", he laughed wildly.

"Speaking of which, it's also our General Manager Zhao's fault for being too approachable. Even though he's already a regional manager, he still gets visited by people from various brands all the time. Logically, these people should only visit us, the investment promotion managers. You know, Junxiao Commercial Management is much stronger than Wansheng Group was back then. General Manager Zhao, with his status, is actually lowering himself by meeting with brand representatives every day."

You think you can get anything just because you can meet with General Manager Zhao? You're overthinking it. Countless people come to see the boss, but the boss trusts his own people the most. Guess who General Manager Zhao will side with if I say your brand has problems and we can't cooperate.”

Chen Xiao shook his head. "I really don't know how you got to this position."

The investment manager chuckled twice, "You'll find out soon enough which brand you are. Don't think I can't find out just because you don't tell me. Once I find out, I guarantee you won't be able to survive in the Ningxi area."

"Oh, what guarantees do you have?"

He was about to answer when he suddenly realized the voice came from behind him. Turning around, he was terrified and cried out, trembling, "President Zhao—"

Zhao Hui looked at him with a gloomy expression. "Go to the HR office immediately to resign. If you wait until the afternoon, I'm very likely to have the audit department check if you've committed any other violations."

"me."

Chen Xiao sneered and walked into the restaurant. Zhao Hui stopped looking at the investment manager and followed Chen Xiao into the [Liyuan] restaurant.

Mr. Fu didn't dare to breathe loudly, even slightly shifting his position, afraid of being affected. This regional investment manager, Mr. Ding, had connections; in fact, Mr. Zhao had just had a friendly conversation with his uncle yesterday, yet today he dismissed him without hesitation. He understood that Mr. Chen's identity was probably not simple, because Mr. Zhao had deliberately followed him in half a step behind.

"That's the nephew of the second boss of Tianning. He usually seems quite clever and perceptive, but I never expected him to be so arrogant outside."

"When the sky is arrogant, rain is sure to follow; when a person is arrogant, disaster is sure to follow. Even if he doesn't run into me today, he will get into trouble because of this in the future. But this kind of person really can't be kept around; he seriously damages our corporate image. We serve our consumers and our customers, and this kind of person is riding on our customers' heads and acting like a tyrant."

"I'll remind Xu Jun later. We need to launch a rectification campaign from top to bottom. This Ding guy is probably not an isolated case. The company has developed too fast, and it's inevitable that there will be both good and bad people. We need to conduct regular self-examinations and self-corrections, and carry out internal criticism and self-criticism to nip this kind of unhealthy trend in the bud."

Nodding, Zhao Hui indicated that the First War Zone would immediately begin a rectification campaign, as Junxiao Commercial Management was too powerful in the industry, which indeed made it easy for corruption to arise.

President Qin was also at Junwu Plaza when he ran into President Ding, who looked dejected, coming down from above. He called out to him, "Little Ding, what's wrong with you?"

As if grasping at a last straw, Xiao Ding rushed forward, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "President Qin, I just ran into that young man I met at the company elevator this morning upstairs, and we had a little argument. I didn't notice President Zhao was right there... President Zhao, please let me go."

President Qin's eyes narrowed. Although Zhao Hui held a prestigious position, he wasn't harsh on his employees. Why would he kill Xiao Ding just because he had a verbal altercation with someone, especially since Xiao Ding's uncle was the second-in-command of Tianning? Therefore, there was only one explanation: that young man was no ordinary person. Indeed, as far as President Qin knew, there were no more than three merchants who could get President Zhao to dine with them.

"Let's do as General Manager Zhao says for now. I'll see if I have a chance to consult with him later." General Manager Qin naturally wouldn't talk to Zhao Hui alone about Xiao Ding's matter. Although he was a regional general manager and Zhao Hui was a regional general manager, though they sounded similar, in the hierarchy of Junxiao Commercial Management, Zhao Hui and he were worlds apart. General Manager Qin accompanied Chairman Xu Jun and General Manager Zhao on their store tour, and he knew that Chairman Xu Jun basically obeyed General Manager Zhao's every word. He knew that General Manager Zhao and Chairman Xu Jun had worked together before, both at Junxiao Plaza in Jiangzhou, where Xu Jun was the general manager of that project, and General Manager Zhao was the deputy general manager.

What he couldn't understand was that General Manager Zhao had always been the chairman's subordinate. It was normal for the chairman to think highly of him, but he always felt that the chairman was wary of General Manager Zhao, deeply wary of him. Therefore, General Manager Zhao always had a mysterious aura in his mind, and he was also glad to be working for such a boss, because the stronger the boss, the more resources he would get.

Sensing the perfunctory tone of President Qin's words, Xiao Ding felt utterly devastated, all hope gone. He had already called his uncle on the way down, who also told him to do as President Zhao instructed for now, and to find out more about the situation before making further arrangements. He knew that his uncle's words might not carry weight with President Zhao's decisions. President Qin was highly valued by President Zhao, and now it seemed that President Qin was also preparing to give up on him.

As Xiao Ding walked, he kept looking back at President Qin, looking as sad as a child abandoned by his parents.

Just then, President Qin spotted a familiar face and quickly went to greet him. It was President Han, the chairman of Junxiao Supermarket, an absolute big shot who was on par with Chairman Xu Jun within the Junxiao Group.

At this moment, several beautiful women were beside President Han, each vying for attention with their beauty. One of them was even more beautiful than President Han, which left President Qin utterly astonished. Before this, President Han was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life; he never imagined there would be someone even more beautiful—

"Hello, Mr. Han!"

Han Xue turned around, "President Qin, are you here to inspect the store?"

"Yes, I just came to take a look inside. Mr. Han, you're busy, I just came to say hello." He hadn't really had much to say to Mr. Han, and besides, he had friends with him, so he naturally wouldn't be so tactless as to take up Mr. Han's time.

These people had naturally already eaten and came to Junwu Plaza to find Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun's group. Han Xue had already gone to Junxiao Supermarket to arrange things, and when she heard that Zhao Xiangjun and the others had arrived at Junwu Plaza, she came up to greet them and was currently introducing the store to them.

"I'll go to the store and get you some fruit drinks—"

Zhao Xiangjun looked at them and nodded, "Don't tell Chen Xiao, otherwise he'll nag me again. He won't let me eat or drink anything now—"

Han Xue smiled and said, "Sister, it's fine, it's just freshly squeezed juice."

Even if the store only sells pure freshly squeezed juice, she would still make sure they drink freshly squeezed juice. She wouldn't dare give Zhao Xiangjun any fruit-flavored drinks, since she is now the most precious person in the Chen family, and the person in her belly is also the most precious.

As Han Xue entered the store, a voice suddenly came from the side. "Ladies, are you Han Xue's friends?"

When Zhao Xiangjun turned around, the young man in his thirties was suddenly lost in thought. My God, how could there be such a beautiful woman?

"You know Han Xue?"

Xiao Wang then came to his senses, "Han Xue's father is my mentor. He taught me how to do business." (End of Chapter)
