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

Mr. Xiang went to the restroom to clean himself up and changed into clean clothes. These were clothes that Bai Sheng had arranged for someone to buy for him at a nearby shopping mall.

Although this old man is quite annoying, he shouldn't have been allowed to leave with a pile of "gold".

"President Bai!" When President Xiang came out again, the way he looked at Bai Sheng was different.

There were awkward and embarrassing moments. There were also moments of trying to please!
That's right, it's ingratiating!

Previously, he was Bai Sheng's client and senior colleague, so he didn't take Bai Sheng seriously. He only came this time because Bai Sheng hadn't recently visited him to "pay his respects." Plus, he'd heard that Bai Sheng had connected with the Guo Group and secured business, so he wanted to check things out.

result--

That's not just connecting, they're practically family!
Just now in the office, seeing how intimately General Manager Guo, General Manager Feng, and General Manager Xu were with Bai Lu, General Manager Xiang understood.
"Mr. Bai, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future—"

In the past, President Xiang would never have said such a thing; it was always him who took care of Bai Sheng.

"Oh—, Mr. Xiang, you're so low-key, I'm not used to it!" Bai Sheng sat on the sofa, legs crossed, enjoying Mr. Xiang's flattery!

"When you're on a latrine, you have to bend over—"

Ok?
Mr. Xiang was stunned. Damn, he blurted out his true feelings!

"No, Mr. Bai, I'm not very well-educated. I meant to say, 'When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!'"

Bai Sheng looked at him with disdain: "Not very educated? Then how come you've improved so quickly? Look, your outhouse has instantly become your roof!"

Mr. Xiang forced a smile, inwardly cursing, "You little bastard, you've finally turned your life around!"

Bai Sheng's words then made him feel better, as if he had gained something!

"How about this, if Genesis Group is interested, we can offer you some business in some more distant areas."

Bai Sheng was secretly calculating. In Qin Province, the Bai family rarely did projects before. Even if there were some projects, they were usually bid on by local construction companies affiliated with Jiangzhou Design Institute.

Their relationship in Qin Province was so-so. But the Genesis Group was different; they were an established company with a nationwide network of channels and connections that surpassed that of the Bai family.

Guo Fu just said that she's taking over the business there, which is roughly estimated to be a project worth close to 50 billion yuan. Bai Sheng currently doesn't have enough manpower, and they haven't built up local connections yet.

To avoid problems during project delivery, subcontracting the project to project companies under the Genesis Group is also a good option.

Previously, Jiangzhou Design Institute frequently undertook projects for the Genesis Group, but now the roles have changed!

In the past, President Xiang would definitely have spat in his face. How could Genesis Group, which is more than twice the size of Jiangzhou Design Institute, possibly eat his leftovers?
But seeing those people in Bai Lu's office today immediately helped him adjust his mindset. From now on, seeing President Bai is like seeing my father; second only to President Bai, I am number one!

"Mr. Bai, what are your orders? From now on, I, Lao Xiang, will be working for you."

Bai Sheng frowned. "Disgusting, isn't it? You just finished pooping, what are you talking about 'eating' for!"
"There are some projects in Qinzhou. If you're interested, you can arrange for someone to liaise with my vice president of business."

Qinzhou? President Xiang was taken aback! It was over a thousand miles away from Jiangzhou, but not far from his [Genesis Group] headquarters. Logically speaking, it should have been his territory!

Suddenly, something occurred to him, "Mr. Bai, could it also be a project with the Guo Group?"

Bai Sheng leaned back on the large sofa, crossed his legs, and tossed a cigarette to President Xiang. At the same time, he lit one for himself with a snap!
Through the swirling smoke, President Xiang looked at Bai Sheng's smug, arrogant face and listened as he slowly spoke:

"Well—I didn't really want to accept it. But since Mr. Guo asked, I guess I'll have to do it reluctantly."

Mr. Xiang's throat was a little dry, with a burning sensation.
Damn it, will you die if you don't show off?

Bai Sheng flicked his cigarette ash and continued, "It's only a few billion in business a year, I guess. We have to give President Guo that much face. A few billion, oh well, we'll just have to accept it!"

boom!!

Mr. Xiang was really fooled. Billions? Not tens of millions?

What does billions mean? Many large project companies can't achieve that kind of business volume in a year.

Bai Sheng leisurely blew a smoke ring. His eyes darted out of the corner of his eye to Xiang Zong's utterly dumbfounded expression, and he couldn't have been happier. He almost couldn't resist humming another tune!
What suddenly occurred to President Xiang?
"Mr. Bai, you're amazing! I was saying that Tianyue Group's stock plummeted yesterday because there were rumors that its important partner, Guo's Group, had drastically reduced its orders this year."
Oh dear, it turns out you're incredibly powerful! With just a flick of your finger, you caused [Tianyue Group] to experience consecutive limit-down days.

Depend on!
Bai Sheng quickly sat up straight: "Don't talk nonsense. I have no past grudges or recent conflicts with Tianyue Group. How did I become the one who attacked them? I won't take the blame for this!!"

He quickly clarified! The Tianyue Group was far more powerful than the Chuangshi Group, and was known as the richest man in Qinzhou. Bai Shengcai didn't want to provoke such a person for no reason!

Mr. Xiang chuckled dryly, "Mr. Bai is too modest. Tianyue Group simply can't compare to your capabilities!"

From his perspective, that's certainly true. That CEO Qin from Tianyue Group probably isn't qualified to meet someone of Xu Wu's stature.

Xu Wu had just called Bai Sheng "Big Brother," which is why President Xiang was so frightened.

Bai Sheng was unaccustomed to it. He only learned about his incredible network of connections ten minutes before President Xiang, and after President Xiang's reminder, he realized that the Tianyue Group was nothing compared to him. He was the emperor's brother-in-law of the Junxiao Group!

He put another cigarette in his mouth and was about to reach for the lighter on the coffee table when a pair of aged hands suddenly appeared before him, the lighter already lit.

Bai Sheng was taken aback, then looked at President Xiang, whose face was full of fawning smiles. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Treat him to a meal, behead him, take him as a dog!"
【Time】Café
This is an elegant upscale café located in the center of Egret Lake. A winding wooden boardwalk is the only way to reach it. Walking on it, the lake water is crystal clear below, and occasionally a koi carp swims by, creating ripples. The lake breeze, carrying moisture and a faint floral fragrance, caresses your face, making you feel refreshed and relaxed.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lies a vast, open lake view, with several egrets gracefully skimming the water's surface, adding to the tranquil and serene atmosphere. The interior décor is understated luxury, with natural wood tones paired with off-white linen, interspersed with greenery, and soft classical piano music playing in the background, creating an exceptionally elegant environment.

Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao stepped onto the pier side by side, their high heels clicking crisply on the thick wooden planks.

"Tsk tsk, Xiaoxiao," Qin Ning looked around and exclaimed sincerely, "This coffee shop's location is absolutely perfect! It's quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with shimmering lake views... Hmm, they really know how to pick a place. They know that our Xiaoxiao's status is different now, so it has to be high-class!"

Her tone was slightly teasing, but also showed her happiness for her best friend.

Xie Xiaoxiao was about to nod in agreement that the place was indeed nice, but Qin Ning's words, like a nimble little bird, fluttered their wings and flew to higher places:

“However…” she drawled, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, her gaze drifting into the distance as if recalling something, “compared to President Chen’s Azam, tsk tsk tsk… it’s not even close to being a little bit better!”

Ever since he had the good fortune to board that dreamlike superyacht, Qin Ning felt like he had opened the door to a new world. These past few days, he couldn't stop talking about the "Azam" and wanted to describe every single gold-plated handle on the yacht.

Xie Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes elegantly, too lazy to respond to her comment.

"Oh my, Xiaoxiao!" Qin Ning immediately caught her little expression, nudged her lightly with her elbow, and teased her deliberately, drawing out her voice, "You're really... haughty now!"

"What did I do?!" Xie Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated by her absurd accusation. Her beautiful eyes widened, her red lips pouted slightly, and she looked a little aggrieved and charming. "I clearly didn't say anything!"

Qin Ning snorted twice: "What did I do? As for the specifics... I can't really say!" She deliberately looked Xie Xiaoxiao up and down, from her exquisite makeup to her appropriate dress, and finally her gaze fell on her slender wrist, her eyes lighting up:
"But I just feel that he exudes a kind of... um... 'I am no longer the same as yesterday' arrogant aura! Yes! That's it!"

Xie Xiaoxiao was amused by her annoyance. She raised her fair wrist, checked the time, and saw that there were still ten minutes until the agreed meeting time.

"Look, look, so what if you have Vacheron Constantin?!" Qin Ning exclaimed.

"Qin Ning! Are you sick?!" Xie Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold back anymore. She reached out and pinched Qin Ning's arm lightly, both angry and amused. "I owe you millions! Do you think I dare to be arrogant to my creditor? How many guts do I have?!" She mentioned the debt as both a joke and a reminder to Qin Ning not to be too "outrageous".

Upon hearing the word "creditor," Qin Ning immediately stopped her exaggerated performance, pursed her lips, and a complex look flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile.

She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and spoke with a mix of mischief and seriousness:
"Come on, Xiaoxiao! You're a billionaire now! My few million is nothing to you!"

She gestured towards the coffee shop with her chin:
"Look, if things go well today, we can raise the rent a bit and easily make a few hundred thousand more! My little bit of money will be covered in no time!"

Upon hearing Qin Ning's words, Xie Xiaoxiao's angry expression gradually faded, replaced by a complex look that mixed novelty, excitement, and a hint of trepidation.

She took a deep breath of the fresh, moisture-laden air, her eyes filled with a thirst for exploring the unknown:
"Qin Ning... to be honest," her voice softened, carrying a hint of girlish excitement and nervousness, "this is the first time... for me to talk about rent with a tenant as a landlord!" This feeling was both unfamiliar and filled her with a sense of anticipation.

Seeing her excited yet slightly nervous expression, Qin Ning couldn't help but smile. She put her arm around her shoulder to encourage her.
"Relax! Relax! Our Xiaoxiao is now the powerful and charismatic CEO Xie!"

She blinked and offered reassurance:
"Besides, didn't Ziqian say she'd come over to help us out once she's finished with her business? With her here, we can sit back and relax, eat and drink as usual, and negotiate the rent perfectly! Let's go, future landlady!"

The two shops that Zhang Ziqian helped Xie Xiaoxiao choose in Qinzhou were transferred to her name this morning.

These two prime locations on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street are coveted by countless retail brands.

Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street not only boasts a massive flow of customers, generating exceptionally high sales, but also offers a prime advertising opportunity for brands by securing a shop in the best available location.

The previous contracts of the original tenants of these two shops are about to expire, and they are now in a hurry to renew them.

Renewal involves negotiating business terms.
In addition, some well-informed people know that the lease on this shop is about to expire! Those who have access to information about the landlord also want to come and try to poach this shop.

In short, on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street, if you want to rent a shop, you absolutely must act quickly. You won't be able to find a shop available for rent even after ten years.

Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning came to meet someone who deals in gold and jewelry, wanting to rent one of their shops. The phone call went to Zhang Ziqian.
These shops were previously Chen Xiao's private property, and naturally, Zhang Ziqian managed them personally. Now that they've been given to Xie Xiaoxiao, Zhang Ziqian is letting Xie Xiaoxiao take over, since they are now her assets and she should be in charge.

However, Zhang Ziqian knew that she had no experience, so she arranged to come over and give them both some advice after she finished dealing with Chen Xiao's work at the company.

The two entered the coffee shop and, led by a waiter, arrived at the door of a private room.

Knock on the door—

"Please come in!" came a male voice from inside, who sounded quite young.

Xie Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered. She saw a young man in his early thirties. He was wearing a Barbery shirt and a Ferragamo belt. He looked very energetic, with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Qin Ning looked somewhat surprised. So young, yet dressed in luxury goods, and here to discuss a shop with a rent exceeding 500 million?

The young man was also shocked; he hadn't expected his landlady to be such a stunning beauty. Xie Xiaoxiao's looks and figure were absolutely exquisite.

However, the young man didn't dare stare at the two beautiful women. After all, his main purpose was to rent the shop, and given that the landlady was clearly worth hundreds of millions, pursuing her wouldn't be so easy.

"Mr. Xie, please have a seat." He clearly did not recognize that the two people in front of him were supermodels.

Xie Xiaoxiao and her companion ordered two coffees, and then the person opposite them introduced himself: "I am Zhang Han, the legal representative of [Tianxing Jewelry]. Our annual turnover has now exceeded 50 billion!" (End of Chapter)
