This photo is like a bombshell dropped into deep water!

It instantly ignited the entire forum! It even quickly spread to Weibo, Baidu Tieba, and short video platforms!

The hashtag #Son of Qinzhou's Richest Man Delivers Takeout# shot to the top of the trending searches at an astonishing speed!

Zhao Lei's photo of himself in a delivery uniform looking bewildered was widely shared, photoshopped, and captioned, becoming the latest internet meme!
A heated discussion about "Why did [Qinzhou's Light] end up delivering food on the streets" and "Is [Tianyue Group] about to collapse?" spread like wildfire across the internet!
Seeing Xie Xiaoxiao's shocked expression, and then scrolling through the surge in comments and trending topics, Qin Ning chuckled softly with amusement:

"Hahaha! Xiaoxiao! Which deity did this, putting this photo up here? Ugh—"

"What a despicable thing to do?" Xie Xiaoxiao glared at her, then gestured to Chen Xiao.

She had no evidence, but she felt this matter was definitely related to Chen Xiao. Because last night, Chen Xiao suggested that Zhao Jinhu cut off Zhao Lei's food supply, and today photos of Zhao Lei delivering takeout surfaced.
Knowing Chen Xiao's perverse sense of humor, she was almost certain that he was the culprit.

The two had fallen far behind, so they quickly caught up. By then, the store tour was basically over.

Chen Xiao turned around: "Alright, President Lu. Thank you all for your hard work! I'll be heading back to Jiangzhou soon, you can all go about your business."

Lu Tao, Huang Zhang, and the others readily agreed, wanting to persuade President Chen to stay for a meal, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it.
This huge gap in social class left even someone like Lu Tao somewhat at a loss!

On the Gulfstream, Chen Xiao lay back in the spacious airliner seat, listening to Zhang Ziqian report on the car accident that happened to President Zhang at the entrance of Zichen Palace.

"President Zhang?" Guo Fu whispered beside her. "That overseas Chinese who returned from Cape Town?"

Chen Xiao hummed in agreement: "You've heard of this person?"

Guo Fu chuckled: "I heard about this person from my best friend at a private party once. He has hundreds of billions in cash, and he's looking for projects everywhere. What a country bumpkin, a nouveau riche!"

For 99.999% of people, having tens of billions of dollars in cash is like having the sky!
However, in the eyes of a true scion of a wealthy family like Guo Fu, President Zhang is nothing but a scoundrel.

"I heard they embezzled the master's property," Guo Fu said contemptuously, her eyes full of disdain!
Lee Ji-eun listened quietly to the conversation. Since meeting Chen Xiao, she had been cramming on Mandarin. She understood the conversation without any difficulty.

So when answering Guo Fu's question, Chen Xiao also casually mentioned to her, "The family behind that President Zhang, you actually have some connection with them."

Lee Ji-eun's eyes were full of doubt. Apart from a few fans, she didn't know anyone in Cape Town. But among her fans were billionaires worth hundreds of billions or even trillions?

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Do you remember the attack in Cape Town? That Mr. Qiao is the same person Mr. Zhang's master is."

"It's him?" Lee Ji-eun's expression changed drastically. She recalled that harrowing moment! That was definitely the most dangerous time of her life; she almost thought she would never see Chen Xiao again. Fortunately, Chen Xiao's [Blue Star Guardian] appeared out of nowhere and saved her.

She knew about President Qiao's accident later. Since it was all to avenge her, Chen Xiao naturally told him the situation immediately.

Unexpectedly, the Mr. Zhang we're discussing today turned out to be Mr. Qiao's man, and later even seized a lot of his assets!

This is truly a dog-eat-dog fight, all the fur is flying!
"Boss, I heard that the owner of Zichen Palace is also under investigation."

"Huh?" Chen Xiao looked at Zhang Ziqian, puzzled. "Not an accident?"

Zhang Ziqian hummed in agreement: "It seems like an accident, but there are many suspicious points!"

"Could it be that the owner of Zichen Palace is also a suspect?" Chen Xiao pondered, resting his chin on his hand.
"Detailed information is still unknown, but based on the current situation, they are indeed suspects! Oh, by the way, Zichen Palace has suspended operations."

Oh--

Chen Xiao didn't care. He used to go to Zichen Palace to find Qiu Qiaoqiao. Now that he was familiar with Qiu Qiaoqiao, he could find her even if he didn't go to Zichen Palace.

only--

"Wouldn't that mean Qiu Qiaoqiao would be unemployed?"

Chen Xiao asked for a long time but didn't get a response. He looked at Zhang Ziqian and found her staring at him with her mouth wide open.

"what happened?"

Zhang Ziqian chuckled: "That's a tricky question. I hadn't thought of it at the moment."

When faced with a major car accident, some kind-hearted people don't consider the implications of the accident itself, but rather the employment of another person.

"Boss, should I ask her? If she really is unemployed, I can find her a job?"

Chen Xiao glared at her, "You decide what to do—", then closed her eyes and pretended to rest.

Zhang Ziqian knew his character; if he told her to handle the arrangements, that meant he agreed.
Qiu Qiaoqiao certainly wouldn't have trouble finding a job, but with such a beautiful girl, there are many people eyeing her. Working within Junxiao Group would be much safer.

"How about we have her come and be your assistant too?" Zhang Ziqian joked.

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao's eyes lit up immediately.

"Not bad, you can talk to them!" He had originally planned to expand his secretarial team, as the group's affairs were increasing and Zhang Ziqian and Ma Jing were too busy to handle everything.

Moreover, Ma Jing also had to assist in handling matters related to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, so the pressure was basically all on Zhang Ziqian!

Zhang Ziqian agreed. She was very familiar with Qiu Qiaoqiao, and they could just arrange a time to chat!
"Oh, Ziqian. Even if she comes, you'll still be in control of the company's core secrets. Pay attention to your job responsibilities!"

Zhang Ziqian laughed: "Boss, shouldn't I be happy? You actually trust me more than she does!"

Chen Xiao glared at him: "Are you talking nonsense? How can she compare to you?"

Although she was scolded, Zhang Ziqian felt sweet inside. She knew that Chen Xiao wasn't lying, and that he wasn't just trying to make her happy in person.

Chen Xiao's trust in her was beyond what his ordinary female confidantes could match.

Nestled amidst lush greenery in the West Mountain Forest, the Chen family villa exudes tranquility and serenity. As Guo Fu stepped into the courtyard, her gaze instinctively searched, but froze the moment it landed on the figure in the pavilion, a wave of inexplicable disorientation washing over her.

Xu Wu.

The actual ruler of the Junxiao Empire, the woman whom she regarded as her only true rival when she first met Chen Xiao and was full of pride and arrogance.

Memories surged like a tide.

Back then, basking in the glory of being the eldest princess of the Guo family, she was full of ambition and took it for granted that the position of "boss" beside Chen Xiao was rightfully hers to claim, and she had to fight for it. She never even truly took Zhao Xiangjun seriously—how could a woman from a humble background compete with her, a true heiress? Her only rival was Xu Wu. Although Xu Wu also came from an ordinary background, the brilliance emanating from her identity as the "helmsman of Junxiao" was enough to overshadow even the halo of the eldest daughter of the Guo family. It was a dazzling crown forged by power and achievement.

later……

Chen Xiao's cold and stern warning was like a bucket of ice water poured over her from head to toe.

At that moment, she truly glimpsed the unshakeable, almost sacred position Zhao Xiangjun held in Chen Xiao's heart.

She then realized how ridiculous and... delusional her previous ambitions had been.

It's true that Chen Xiao treated her well. But that kindness was as insignificant as a firefly compared to the bright moon in the face of everything Chen Xiao gave Zhao Xiangjun, making her deeply understand what it meant to "overestimate one's abilities".

after that……

As Guo Fu gained a deeper understanding of the complex "ecosystem" surrounding Chen Xiao, her sense of frustration grew like wildfire.

Let alone compare her to Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Wu, those two women who stand on the clouds.

Even He Qing's gentle resilience, Feng Feifei's technological empire blueprint, Bai Lu's unique charm, and even Zhang Ziqian's irreplaceable "shadow"-like omnipotence...

Even Guo Fu seems to be... no match for her.

The once proud identity of "Princess Guo" seems to have become the most insignificant label in this courtyard.

Frustration is like fine needles, pricking a proud heart.

Cough cough--

Chen Xiao coughed lightly, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly waking Guo Fu from her complicated thoughts.

She snapped back to reality, realizing her earlier lapse in composure, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashing across her face. Her gaze refocused on the pavilion—

Zhao Xiangjun sat there, her posture serene, like the most elegant scenery in the courtyard. Xu Wu, who outside was a powerful and commanding figure, exuding an aura like a queen, had at this moment concealed all her sharpness, like a gentle and obedient little sister, slightly turned to the side, attentively listening to Zhao Xiangjun speak, a soft smile on her face. Even though she was actually two years older than Zhao Xiangjun.

Beside Zhao Xiangjun, Xu Wu was willing to conceal her brilliance and simply be a quiet companion.

Beside Xu Wu sat two other women of equally outstanding temperament.

One of them was someone Guo Fu recognized—Feng Feifei!

Chairman of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group! One of Chen Xiao's most cherished people!

Looking at Feng Feifei's calm and confident profile, Guo Fu felt a bitter ripple in her heart. The fields that Dr. Feng's Group operates in—AI artificial intelligence, AI computing chips, and autonomous driving—each represents a future trend! Reaching the top in any of these fields would bring achievements and influence far exceeding those of a traditional giant like the Guo Group.

Feng Feifei, on the other hand, is making progress in several fields simultaneously!

What's even more terrifying is her sheer audacity. Guo Fu had heard that Dr. Feng's Group's annual R&D investment in these core areas was an astronomical figure—over 2000 billion Chinese yuan! Globally, there are very few companies that would invest so recklessly in the future, regardless of cost.

Who says Chen Xiao isn't biased? Guo Fu pursed her lips, thinking to herself. They're both his women, yet the disparity in resources and trust is too obvious.

“Afu—”

Just then, a clear and melodious sound with a unique metallic quality rang out, like the gentle tapping of a jade chime, clearly penetrating the courtyard space and falling directly into Guo Fu's heart.

It was Zhao Xiangjun.

She was smiling and looking this way. Guo Fu gazed at her, her heart filled with awe: How could there be such a perfect woman in the world? Her face, her temperament, her voice, her bearing… every aspect of her was beautiful, every single feature captivating. No wonder Chen Xiao was so infatuated with her, willing to give her everything.

Guo Fu took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions in her heart, quickly put on a polite smile, and strode forward to meet him.

She needs to express her opinion.

"Xiangjun... Sister—"

"A-Wu... Sister—"

She carefully considered her form of address, ultimately choosing the respectful "elder sister" to express her respect and regard for these two women of exceptional status. Although even she, in her thirties, found the term somewhat odd.

Zhao Xiangjun gracefully rose from the pavilion and walked over.

She walked up to Guo Fu, a warm smile on her face, and gently took Guo Fu's hand, her tone gentle and natural:
"Don't be so polite."

Her gaze swept over Guo Fu's slightly unnatural expression, a knowing glint in her eyes, before she skillfully defused the awkwardness:

"At home, there aren't so many rules. Just call me Xiangjun."

She paused, then looked at Xu Wu, Feng Feifei, and Bai Lu (Bai Lu also walked over at this moment), her smile gentle:
“Awu, Feifei, Bailu... they’re all the same. Just call them by their names; it’ll make you feel more comfortable.”

She didn't mention Guo Fu's age or say, "You're not young anymore, it's not appropriate to call you 'sister'." Instead, she used the phrase "At home, don't be so polite," which not only saved Guo Fu's face but also subtly smoothed out the awkwardness of the age-related form of address. At the same time, she reiterated the equal and intimate atmosphere of the "home" setting, thus solidifying her central position as the hostess and encompassing everyone within the harmonious framework she had set.

Xu Wu and Feng Feifei both smiled and nodded, clearly having long been accustomed to and accepted Zhao Xiangjun's "family rules."

Looking at Zhao Xiangjun's sincere and impeccable smile and feeling the warmth from her hands, Guo Fu felt the awkwardness caused by the way she was addressed instantly dissipate, replaced by an indescribable sense of obedience.

This is Zhao Xiangjun.

She may not have Xu Wu's decisive leadership of the empire, nor Feng Feifei's technological prowess in leading the future, but she possesses a subtle and pervasive power of control, a cohesive force that makes everyone feel comfortable and willing to surround her.

Guo Fu finally realized how shallow and ridiculous her ambition to "be the boss" had been back then.

In the courtyard, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on several women, each with a distinct style yet equally outstanding. Zhao Xiangjun stood at the center, like a pillar of strength, maintaining the delicate yet stable balance of this unique "family." Guo Fu's lingering pride was completely soothed at this moment, merging into the tranquility of this secluded forest in the Western Hills.

Feng Feifei and Bai Lu had previously communicated with Guo Fu mostly in the "Chen Family Army" group, and now they greeted each other.
Then, Zhao Xiangjun led everyone into the house. It was Guo Fu's first time meeting her mother-in-law, so it wasn't appropriate for her to stay outside for too long!

Chen Xiao followed behind, somewhat worried. With so many daughters-in-law, would his mother be able to remember them all? What if she mistook one for another? (End of Chapter)
