My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan
Chapter 439 All Good Things Must Come to an End
Li Da naturally wanted to thank him again.
General Manager Zhao glanced at the radiant He Qing and Wang Ping, and couldn't resist imitating General Manager Liu's boasting: "Our investment in the sports brand is huge, with 30 stores, the investment is almost 2000 million!"
In his opinion, this number was astonishing enough. To his disappointment, the two beauties seemed completely unmoved. It was as if he had punched a piece of cotton, which was quite unpleasant.
Wang Ping let out a cold laugh, which puzzled him even more.
Little did she know, Wang Ping thought they were a joke. He Qing spent 5 billion yuan a year, which averaged out to more than 10 million yuan a day.
Moreover, it cost over 1000 million. You invested 2000 million and still have the nerve to show off? This is typical arrogance.
He's skin and bones, yet he goes and shows off his muscles in front of a bodybuilder. What an idiot!
At this moment, Li Man said calmly, "Little Li, just tell me how many orders you can fill this year, and I'll take care of them all. Don't bother talking to me about orders worth hundreds of thousands. I have a bunch of salespeople under me, who has time to talk to you about this little bit of business?"
General Manager Liu and General Manager Zhao glanced at her, knowing she wasn't exaggerating. She handled projects worth over a billion yuan a year, and the props required for them were so numerous that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she had taken care of a portion of Li Da's project.
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, especially with the two beautiful women opposite me. I felt like I had been overshadowed, and I felt a bit awkward.
At this moment, Luffy also said, "President Li is right. You have some ambition. You dare to bring a business worth hundreds of thousands to the table to discuss? Go back and tell Lao Cai that I'll take over the entire company's production capacity, not just your branch's!"
Zhao and Liu were somewhat afraid of Luffy, but they thought he was exaggerating. No matter how big his business was, it was only in two provinces. How many stores did he plan to open? Could he possibly take over the entire production capacity of the prop factory headquarters?
Even Li Man thought he was just bragging.
Luffy continued, "This year, the company plans to invest 20 billion in store maintenance. Your production capacity is nothing."
Then he turned to Li Man and said, "President Li, our cooperation needs to be deepened. I've been specifically chosen by President Chen to work with President Ma to expand the national market. We'll need your strong support then."
When he said he was going to use 20 billion yuan to open stores, everyone thought he was being greedy. Looking at the large retail companies listed in the country, it's not uncommon for one to be able to spend 20 billion yuan a year to open stores.
But Li Man keenly noticed that he mentioned it was General Manager Chen who requested it, and immediately understood that since that person had made the request, there was no problem at all.
Two billion is an astronomical figure for these people. After all, it's a matter of taking out two billion, which is a completely different concept from generating two billion in revenue in a year.
But for Mr. Chen, this really isn't about money.
She understood Luffy's meaning even better. It wasn't just him; Ma Jian was also planning a nationwide project. The workload this year would probably be so large that even if Li Man's construction team doubled its size, it still wouldn't be enough.
As for the prop factory? Luffy is absolutely right. Even if Lao Cai gave him the entire production capacity of his company, it probably still wouldn't be enough to meet his needs.
As soon as the 20 billion figure was mentioned, President Liu and President Zhao immediately looked like clowns. They were boasting about their own few hundred thousand, while the other party was talking about tens of thousands of times more.
But they not only dared not resent Luffy, they also flattered him relentlessly.
Take Mr. Zhao as an example. He is just the general manager of a provincial region for a domestic sports company. If Luffy achieves his goal of investing 20 billion yuan a year, then the scale of Jiexun Sports will be larger than that of the "Pegasus" Group. Luffy will be of a higher status than the chairman of Mr. Zhao's company. He is nothing.
He would be incredibly grateful if Luffy would even look at him properly.
Several bigwigs expressed their support for Li Da, and he quickly toasted everyone again.
Sitting down again, Mr. Zhao seemed to want to save face in front of the beautiful women, and said to He Qing, "I just heard Li Da introduce you two to a charity foundation. Our company also has some public welfare activities. We can cooperate then, and some of our donation activities can be done through you."
Although the branch office doesn't have much resources, it can still apply for several hundred thousand yuan in funding.
He and President Liu were in a really bad mood today. Luffy and Li Man, who were also present, were big bosses. For them, hundreds of thousands of yuan was just pocket money. They could only make their presence known to these pretty female classmates of Zhao Ying.
All night, He Qing and Wang Ping didn't even look at them properly. Now that they're taking the initiative to talk to them, and even offering them sales targets, they must be getting a response now.
Unexpectedly, He Qing didn't even lift her eyelids, and simply said politely, "No need, we don't cooperate with external parties."
Mr. Zhao had prepared countless speeches in his mind, but he was immediately rendered speechless.
How could anyone refuse? Does the company not cooperate with external partners?
Li Man and Luffy glared at him, almost simultaneously cursing, "Are you an idiot? You're showing off your wealth in front of her, but I'm just a beggar compared to her!"
"Miss, your company is a bit too rigid. I'll talk to your boss later, and I'm sure I can convince him!"
Luffy and Li Man stared at him in disbelief, imagining the scene!
If Mr. Zhao said these things in front of Chen Xiao, Mr. Chen would probably only give him one word: "Get lost!"
Besides, given Mr. Chen's status, how could he possibly have the opportunity to meet him?
He Qing smiled and said, "No need, he won't see you."
From the moment they sat down, Zhao and Liu kept scrutinizing her and Wang Ping. She understood the purpose of what they had said earlier, but she didn't care because these people were no longer worth her attention; it was like watching a clown performance.
Mr. Zhao paused, thinking this was incredibly disrespectful.
You are a charitable foundation, and there are charitable donations from outside. Isn't that within your scope of business? How can you refuse them?
Besides, these kinds of organizations rely on everyone's efforts to make a difference. Your manager is so arrogant. He won't even see me when I, a regional general manager, make donations.
He gave an awkward laugh. "Your boss is pretty arrogant, haha!"
Mr. Liu chimed in, “Miss, Mr. Zhao manages a business worth hundreds of millions a year.”
He Qing simply ignored him.
Li Man couldn't stand it anymore and sneered, "A business worth hundreds of millions isn't even yours. Why bother with charity? You have to submit reports to donate a few clothes or shoes. If you can't get the application approved, you can't even get it done. It's a complete waste of time."
"With that energy, think more about how to do your job well, earn more bonuses for yourself, and let your subordinates earn some bonuses too. That would be doing a good deed."
Mr. Zhao's face immediately turned ugly. What Li Man said was true. It was true that he managed a business worth hundreds of millions, but he was just a professional manager with an annual salary of about 50.
Although Li Man mocked him, he dared not retort, because she was the real boss.
Seeing that things were getting a bit off, Li Da quickly invited everyone to drink a third cup. After the third cup, everyone was free to drink.
Zhao Ying also understood what President Zhao and President Liu meant, and thought to herself: "These two toads probably went out without their glasses. It's fine if you put on an act in front of me and Li Da, but why are you bragging to He Qing? Look at her worth now."
Of course, she didn't know that He Qing worked at a charity foundation, so how could she have a Rolls-Royce fleet and bodyguards when she went out? These were things that were not appropriate to ask at the dinner table.
Luffy kept eating his own food and barely spoke today. He had already labeled Boss Zhao and Boss Liu as idiots and couldn't be bothered with them.
Only Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao engaged in mutual flattery.
As the host, Li Da began to toast everyone in turn. He Qing and Wang Ping only offered a token toast, while the others present were his important clients. Naturally, he had to step forward and toast them in turn. When he got to Li Man's turn...
Li Man smiled calmly and said, "Little Li, when you host dinner parties in the future, be careful not to invite just anyone. It's easy to make a fool of yourself!"
Her voice wasn't quiet, and Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu naturally understood her veiled insults, but they didn't dare to provoke her and could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Come on, drink!"
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu each drank a glass of wine, and felt isolated at the table.
They were also dissatisfied with the people Li Da had invited today. Luffy and Li Man were too high-class, and being with them made them feel inferior and lose face in front of beautiful women.
If Luffy and Liman weren't here today, they would have let loose and done whatever they wanted.
Luffy bumped into Li Da and said, "Mr. Li is right. If you invite any more low-class people in the future, don't call us over."
He was right next to President Zhao, and his words were like a thunderclap. President Zhao couldn't pretend he didn't hear them; he could only turn red in the face and raise his wine glass to offer a toast.
When it came to Li Man, she didn't give him any face and said, "That's enough wine for today, I'm not drinking anymore."
This left General Manager Zhao with no choice but to go to Qin Xiaoyan. After all, it was Li Da and Zhao Ying's home turf, and Qin Xiaoyan gave him face by meeting with him, which was considered a way for him to save face.
Then he went to drink with Wang Ping, who chuckled coldly and said, "Sorry, I've had too much to drink today. Let's have some juice instead."
Mr. Zhao quickly replied, "Of course, please feel free to do as you please!"
This is better than not drinking at all. Putting down his glass, Mr. Zhao said, "I just heard from the introduction that both of you ladies work at a charitable foundation. It's a bit of a pity."
Wang Ping curled her lip in disdain. "What's a pity?"
"With your qualifications, you would definitely have a good career in the business world. In a charitable foundation, besides being stable, the income probably isn't high, right?"
Before Wang Ping could even speak, Lu Fei pointed at President Zhao across the table and said, "Damn it, you get back here right now, or I'll slap you right now, you believe me?"
I've tolerated him for so long. His bragging doesn't hurt anyone anyway. Now look at him running off to Lady He and spouting nonsense. If this disturbs President He and President Chen blames me, I won't be able to escape the consequences since I was there.
Li Man shared the same thought and stood up, saying, "Stop embarrassing yourself. I've reminded you several times, just shut up!"
Mr. Zhao's face was already a liverish color. He was being scolded by Luffy, but he didn't dare to talk back. He also didn't dare to be respectful to He Qing anymore. He quickly did as Luffy told him and obediently went to his seat.
He thought to himself, "There's no rush to meet a beautiful woman today. I'll have Li Da arrange a date with her another time."
With the situation turned out this way, today's dinner party was quite a failure, and Li Da was rather embarrassed.
Fortunately, Luffy and Li Man both expressed their support for him. With their support, it really didn't matter to President Zhao and President Liu.
Li Man walked over to He Qing and bowed, saying, "President He, I'd like to propose a toast to you." President Zhao glanced at her; Li Man, who had just said she wouldn't drink anymore, was carrying a glass of red wine. "If you're not going to drink, why are you pouring so much?" he thought.
At the same time, Li Man's attitude towards He Qing was strange; Li Man seemed to be very afraid of her.
He Qing stood up with a smile and bumped hands with Li Man: "We still need Mr. Li's cooperation in our work."
She took a small sip, while Li Man downed the entire glass in one go, saying, "Just give the order, I'm at your service 24/7."
He Qing nodded and sat down again, while Li Man returned to her seat.
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu exchanged a glance, simultaneously understanding the meaning in each other's eyes: "That beautiful woman's identity is not simple, to be able to make Li Man treat her like this."
The two of them suddenly felt uneasy.
At this moment, Luffy took the wine dispenser and went over there. General Manager Zhao and General Manager Liu noticed that Luffy looked even more humble than Li Man.
He looked almost obsequious and trembling with fear as he held up the decanter with both hands, saying in a fawning tone, "Mr. He, I'd like to toast you. Please have some juice!"
He Qing knew that Luffy was now following Ma Jian, but she was unaware that Chen Xiao had decided to invest in Jiexun Sports this morning. Luffy now completely regarded himself as a servant of the Chen family.
She gradually developed the demeanor of someone in a superior position, raising her glass of red wine to Luffy and taking a small sip.
Luffy felt that this small sip was an immense honor, and he downed the entire glass of baijiu in one gulp, so excited that he almost called himself "this old servant!"
Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhao were dumbfounded. Who was that beautiful woman opposite them? Luffy? Such a powerful figure, yet he was more obedient to her than a grandson to his great-grandmother. What was going on?
I've never heard of such a young and beautiful important person in Jiangzhou.
However, this can only be blamed on their ignorance. There are quite a few beautiful female CEOs in Jiangzhou now, such as Xu Wu, Gao Yue, He Qing, and Feng Feifei. However, all of them are related to Chen Xiao and have only risen to prominence in the last six months.
After that, apart from Li Man and Luffy having a drink together and exchanging a few words, there was no more "conversation across the table".
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu sensed that something was wrong today, and they spoke less, only occasionally interacting with each other.
Zhao Ying, on the other hand, was chatting with He Qing and Wang Ping. The topics women talk about are always about cosmetics, bags, and jewelry.
"Hey, your bag is the same style as Wang Ping's, just a different color. It looks really nice. Whose bag is it?"
Then, upon closer inspection, she was speechless. It turned out to be Chanel, something she couldn't afford.
I chuckled to myself. If I had known they rode in Rolls-Royces, what kind of spending power would I have made? Asking them about this topic would have just been asking for trouble.
Then he suddenly noticed the watch on He Qing's wrist and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Your watch is so beautiful! What brand is it? What model is it?"
He Qing smiled but hadn't said anything when Wang Ping gave Zhao Ying a look, and she immediately stopped asking questions.
She understood what Wang Ping meant and told her not to ask anymore.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoyan, who was sitting next to Wang Ping, was also drawn to Zhao Ying's words and looked at the watch on He Qing's wrist.
On the deep blue dial, the iconic horizontal wave pattern resembles the gentle ripples of the sea, shimmering with a gradient halo under the light.
The diamond hour markers and platinum hands complement each other, while the Roman numeral at the 12 o'clock position is set with a rectangular diamond, exuding understated luxury.
My gaze was drawn to that dazzling light, and I subconsciously held my breath, thinking, "This watch is probably worth a luxury mansion..."
Mr. Zhao and Mr. Liu also looked over. Mr. Zhao was a watch enthusiast, and upon seeing it, he broke out in a cold sweat. He instantly recognized it as a Nautilus full diamond watch, with a market price of nearly 500 million yuan, and "even if you have the money, you may not be able to buy it."
After learning about this from General Manager Zhao, General Manager Liu suddenly felt even more awe—a person who could wear such a watch was definitely not an ordinary wealthy person.
They then realized that the two of them had been bewitched and acted recklessly. If Luffy hadn't scolded them, they might have caused trouble that night.
Both of them felt a chill run down their spines; a beautiful woman wearing a 500 million dollar watch was simply beyond their wildest imaginations.
They just didn't know if their previous actions had offended her, or if she would hold a grudge against them. The two of them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles!
The two men would occasionally steal glances at He Qing out of the corner of their eyes, not because they were infatuated with her, but because they were worried that the beautiful woman might hold a grudge against them.
They were overthinking it. He Qing had no intention of remembering them; they were just clowns.
Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and glanced at it. The screen lit up, and a message jumped into her eyes—it was that familiar profile picture.
A barely perceptible smile played on her lips, and a ripple of laughter spread across her eyes.
My fingertips glide lightly across the screen, as if touching some precious treasure. Even the diamond on my wrist seems to be illuminated by this joy, reflecting a more dazzling halo than usual.
Chen Xiao asked her where she was and learned that she was having dinner at Bailu Villa. He said he would come directly from the company to meet her and they would go back to Jindi Xiushan Yin together.
Chen Xiao had dinner with Han Xue at the company, and her Range Rover was parked in the company's basement parking lot.
I'm a little worried. Is this car going to be driven into the campus? It seems a bit too conspicuous.
It seems like it's time for her to move out. She'll be looking to buy a studio apartment soon; with her income, it won't be a problem at all.
"Han Xue, if it's inconvenient for you to stay in your dorm, you can stay in a hotel most of the time. I'll take you to buy a house when I have some free time these next few days."
"Don't refuse, you know it's nothing to me."
She was about to speak when he cut her off.
Indeed, with his current financial resources, what is a house in Jiangzhou? It's more casual than an ordinary family buying cabbage.
He still has several villas in Xiangshan Linyu that are empty, but since Xiangjun's elders are there, and unlike He Qing, these people were not invited by Xiangjun, he will not arrange for anyone to go there before discussing it with Xiangjun. This is a unique respect for Zhao Xiangjun.
In fact, he knew in his heart that Zhao Xiangjun would definitely not have any objections to Xu Wu living in the same building, but as for the others, Zhao Xiangjun probably didn't know and was unsure of their attitudes.
After the meal, Han Xue first returned to her dormitory at Jiangzhou University, where she found her own white Land Rover 5.0T SVA Autobiography Long Wheelbase.
A car that cost nearly 400 million yuan was something Han Xue never dreamed she would own; it would become her first car.
Back in the dorm, I used to listen to Tangtang and her friends chat. When they talked about their first car, they all basically aimed for a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Some people had never even thought they would own a car like that, which costs 400 million yuan.
Under the parking lot lights, the pure white car body resembles a moving glacier. The 22-inch diamond-cut wheels reflect a cold light, while the honeycomb grille and silver "shark gill" side air intakes exude a mechanical beauty.
As you approach, the car doors automatically slide open, revealing an interior that combines ebony wood and ivory white leather, with diamond-patterned seat stitching as exquisite as a haute couture gown.
As she nestled into the 24-way adjustable massage seat, the 1700-watt sound system began to play, and the soft light streaming through the panoramic sunroof added a filter to the scene—the youthful vigor of the 24-year-old and the pinnacle of Land Rover luxury resonated perfectly at that moment.
Han Xue has excellent driving skills, after all, she used to practice a lot in her family's minivan, and recently she has also driven a Brabus G900 a few times.
As the white Range Rover drove out of the parking lot and arrived at the outdoor entrance of Junxiao Lakeside CBD, it happened to run into Zhang Ping and Chu Ting leaving get off work together.
The two looked at the Land Rover they had seen once before in the Junxiao Plaza showroom, and at the same time consciously looked towards the driver's seat.
The elongated body lines are as elegant and slender as a supermodel's silhouette, while the crystal taillights and pixelated LED headlights sparkle like jewels.
The moment Han Xue rolled down the car window, Zhang Ping instantly held her breath, her fingers unconsciously covering her slightly parted lips.
Although she had already guessed it, she was still shocked when the dream became reality.
"Zhang Ping, are you going back to the dormitory?"
She didn't know Chu Ting, nor did she know that she was Chen Xiao's classmate.
Zhang Ping nodded vigorously, forgetting to introduce Chu Ting who was standing next to her. It wasn't until Han Xue asked her to get in the car and she had almost walked around to the other side that she remembered to say to Chu Ting, "See you tomorrow, bye-bye!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, the metal grille of the Meridian sound system gleamed softly. Turning her head, she saw a ribbon-tied gift box on the electrically folding tray table in the back, and the suede headliner felt like touching clouds. She couldn't help but exclaim softly, "This is simply a palace."
Han Xue smiled gently and drove back to Jiangzhou University.
"Han Xue, your boyfriend is so good to you, giving you such an expensive gift?"
Han Xue was puzzled as to how she could tell at a glance that the car was hers, since she had driven a Brabus G900 before.
Zhang Ping explained, "I was watching from behind when you were ordering the car. Since you were with your boyfriend, I didn't call you."
Han Xue blushed, recalling that crazy afternoon and night. The boss was too daring; just thinking about it now made her legs weak.
"Han Xue, Tang Tang and I are about to start looking for a place to live, or maybe we'll save up to buy a small apartment. Our housing provident fund is enough to cover the loan payments now. Would you like to come with us?"
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I might need to buy a house soon."
She didn't boast that Chen Xiao would buy it for her; this answer was a tactful way of refusing to look for a house with Zhang Ping and the others.
Zhang Ping said with some regret, "You're really something now. A house is nothing to you. I wish you all the best and hope you and your boyfriend will get married soon!"
The thought of our impending separation makes me a little sad; indeed, all good things must come to an end!
The green light came on, and Han Xue smoothly accelerated, smiling.
"We're still in the same city, even working in the same building, so it's not really separation. We'll get together whenever we have time." (End of Chapter)
