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

Li Xiao thought to himself, "This is life! Being with President Chen is life! I wouldn't trade this for any other kind of life. Not only do we eat well, but we also have the best things in life."

Eat? Use? She thought of Chen Xiao's ultimate weapon and couldn't help but feel a little drunk.

More than an hour later, Zhang Ziqian glanced at the lounge, wondering how Ma Jing could stay for so long. She didn't want to go in and call her, as it would be embarrassing if Li Xiao found out they were spying on her.

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment, they will be done soon."

She politely greeted Li Xiao and continued processing the documents. Li Xiao knew perfectly well what Gao Yue and Chen Xiao were busy with; she wasn't in a hurry, but she was anxious because she couldn't go to Gao Yue's aid.

Footsteps came from the lounge. Li Xiao was startled. How did they come out of here? Then she saw Ma Jing, who had disheveled hair and looked like a pretty girl next door. She was startled.

Firstly, I didn't recognize her and didn't know how she got out of the lounge; secondly, she looked disheveled and drunk.

Because Li Xiao was sitting on the sofa, due to the angle, Ma Jing didn't see her immediately when she came out. Still feeling dizzy, she complained to Zhang Ziqian, "I watched half of it, but President Gao found out. She insisted that Brother Chen Xiao pull me in, and I took all the blame for President Gao in the second half."

She spoke quickly and in one breath, completely unaware that Zhang Ziqian was constantly giving her meaningful glances, signaling her to shut up.

By the time she noticed, it was too late; she had already finished speaking. Only then did she remember that someone named Li Xiao was coming. When she turned around, she saw Li Xiao looking terrified, and she could even see envy in her eyes.

Li Xiao was indeed frightened. She knew what Gao Yue and Chen Xiao were doing, so she instantly understood Ma Jing's words. Ma Jing had clearly encountered the same situation as Li Xiao last time, but the difference was that Ma Jing seized the opportunity; she was better at seizing opportunities than Li Xiao.

That wasn't suffering, that was clearly receiving a favor. Li Xiao could tell that Ma Jing was actually quite pleased with herself despite her pitiful cries. Didn't you see that her face was flushed, like a ripe apple?

Zhang Ziqian introduced them to each other. When Li Xiao learned that this person was also Chen Xiao's assistant, she suddenly felt that being Chen Xiao's assistant seemed like a pretty good job. Why didn't Xu Wu think of asking her to arrange for her to work next to Chen Xiao when she asked her to be her assistant?

Ma Jing greeted Li Xiao, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment, it will be ready in half an hour."

Zhang Ziqian and Li Xiao understood that since she was leaving midway, Gao Yue would eventually have to finish the show. Several similar images flashed through the minds of the three of them at the same time, and Li Xiao roughly guessed that the break room in this office was connected to Chen Xiao's break room.

"That's not just being an assistant, that's practically being a member of the Imperial Study, a 'concubine'! I must ask Xu Wu or Gao Yue to recommend me so I can join. Here, I get the chance to be favored almost every day."

Judging from Zhang Ziqian's imposing manner on the phone just now, even the chairmen of several large corporations would probably have to treat her with utmost respect.
Just then, Zhang Ziqian made another phone call, and after a short while, she said, "President Li, regarding the location of Junxiao Retail's office area, you need to hurry up and get President Han's office ready first, and finish the core office area. You can slow down the other areas. Yes, yes, you need to speed it up. President Chen specifically inquired about it this morning."

{Renovation? Could it be Li Man? Junxiao Retail's office area? What is Junxiao Retail? And who is General Manager Han?}
After Zhang Ziqian hung up the phone, Li Xiao couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Zhang Ziqian glanced at the message, looked up and said, "President Chen told us to go to the restaurant first, let's talk as we walk."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, before Li Xiao could even marvel at its luxurious decor, Zhang Ziqian said, "It's Li Man from Manhua Decoration Company. Junxiao Group has recently established a new business unit called Junxiao Retail, and they've taken a floor from the ground floor and asked her to decorate it according to the standards of the headquarters offices of other business units."

Upon hearing about the newly established business entity, Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he interrupted her, asking, "Does this newly established business entity have a person in charge?"

Zhang Ziqian didn't understand why she was so excited, but she was used to big events and remained calm and composed no matter what happened. She smiled and said, "Of course, Han Xue is in charge of this project. She used to be President Gao Yue's special assistant."

"Ah—" A huge wave of shock surged through Li Xiao's heart. Several times when she went to see Gao Yue, Gao Yue's special assistant would open the door for her and make tea. An assistant had suddenly become the chairman of a business unit under Junxiao Group. This was even more shocking than Cinderella becoming a princess.

{What incredible luck! To go from an assistant to the head of a business entity—it must be Gao Yue's recommendation. Why didn't she recommend me for such a great opportunity?}
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blame Xu Wu and Gao Yue again. Now that they were in such high positions, they didn't think to give her a push when there was a good opportunity. Last time, He Qing beat them to it in the Junxiao Charity Foundation, and this time Han Xue beat them to it in Junxiao Retail. It was infuriating.

Li Xiao thought to himself with a sullen mood, and a sense of resentment welled up inside him, which he couldn't let go of for a long time.

At this moment, Chen Xiao arrived with Gao Yue, who was also beaming. Upon seeing them, the group stood up simultaneously. Chen Xiao pressed his hands down, gesturing for them to sit down.

"Why make such a fuss about having a meal?"

Li Xiao called out, "President Chen." Chen Xiao nodded slightly. He neither liked nor disliked the young woman; he was mainly doing so out of consideration for Xu Wu and Gao Yue.

"Why did you come so early in the morning?" Gao Yue asked, sitting next to Li Xiao.

There were only a few people at the table, and the others all looked at Li Xiao upon hearing this. She thought for a moment, wasn't this the perfect time to complain? Gao Yue was there too, and could give her some support.

Li Xiao thought for a moment and said, "There's something I need to ask for a favor, so—"

Gao Yue chuckled and said, "What favor? As long as it's not against the rules, just say it."

Li Xiao didn't expect Gao Yue to agree so readily. Sure enough, she must be very favored by Chen Xiao, otherwise she would have been more discreet about this kind of thing. Little did she know that Chen Xiao did not object to them using their positions to take care of their relatives and friends, provided that they did not violate the rules.

Her confidence grew considerably as she said, "Mr. Ding Yong introduced a friend from a property management company who wants to cooperate fully with some projects of the Junxiao Charity Foundation. But rest assured, they are a long-established property management company and also a comprehensive strategic partner of Gemdale Group, with rich industry experience."

She was worried that her own contribution wouldn't be enough, and she was also afraid that Ding Yong would throw things out. This would likely motivate Gao Yue to put in more effort, and Chen Xiao would probably still have some feelings for Ding Yong. This would make it almost certain that they would succeed.

Chen Xiao was too lazy to bother with such trivial matters. Gao Yue naturally understood him, and since it wasn't a big deal, she joked, "If this company really has the capability as you say, then there's no problem. Just report it to President He, why bring it up separately?"

She didn't notice that when Huadi Property was mentioned, Zhang Ziqian stopped what she was doing and quickly opened her phone to check something. After a while, she looked at Gao Yue with a serious expression, not knowing how to remind her.

At this point, Li Xiao said, "The company has submitted the application process and it has all been approved, but it was rejected by General Manager He. He has no reason to ask us to change the property management company."

quiet!
The scene was unusually quiet. Li Xiao glanced uneasily at Gao Yue, only to find that Gao Yue, who had just been relaxed and carefree and loved to joke, was now staring at him with a pale face. Even Zhang Ziqian and Ma Jing were looking over with grim expressions.

Li Xiao suddenly looked at Chen Xiao with some fear. He was expressionless, seemingly without joy or sorrow, but the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the air instantly.

At this moment, no one dared to speak. Gao Yue was both angry and anxious. This Li Xiao was really brainless. In the past, when she joked, she always seemed to be quick-witted and offended people everywhere. How could her emotional intelligence be so low?

How could you bring up something like this in this kind of setting?

If this project hasn't been submitted to He Qing yet, and it's decided today, a phone call to He Qing would definitely be enough to get her to give them face. If, as Li Xiao said, He Qing has already rejected it, then the best course of action is to listen to He Qing. If they want to help Ding Yong's friend, Gao Yue should privately call He Qing to find out the situation and see if there's any room for negotiation. If He Qing insists, Gao Yue won't even speak up. At their level, it's very taboo to put your hands in other people's pockets, especially given their relationship.

If they were to have a falling out, it would become the first time among Chen Xiao's women to have a dispute, which would be a serious matter. This was the thing Xu Wu had instructed Gao Yue and the others to avoid the most. Besides, Gao Yue had a good relationship with He Qing and wanted to maintain it, since Gao Yue knew that He Qing was very much favored by Chen Xiao.

For such a trivial matter, she came up with such a stupid and foolish solution. Is Li Xiao trying to kill someone? And does she even know that Chen Xiao could cut off all her paths in a fit of anger?

She knew that it was best not to speak at this moment, but if she didn't speak and Chen Xiao spoke, Li Xiao would be finished.

Gao Yue said sternly to Li Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, are you crazy? Since President He doesn't agree, then we should find another company immediately. I'll talk to President Ding Yong about any problems he has."

This was the first time Li Xiao had received such a harsh criticism from Gao Yue. She then thought of the candidate for chairman of Junxiao Retail, and how Gao Yue had recommended her assistant instead of her. Her resentment flared up, and she retorted, "But President He didn't give any reason and just rejected her directly. Isn't that too autocratic?"

Zhang Ziqian and Ma Jing gasped. This person was ungrateful! President Gao seemed to be scolding her, but he was actually saving her. How dare she talk back to President Gao? If it weren't for the fact that you are her classmate, would you even have the right to say a word to her? Besides, your words also expressed your dissatisfaction with He Qing. Now President Gao can no longer help you.

As expected, Gao Yue's expression changed upon hearing this. She opened her mouth but ultimately gave up, letting out a soft sigh. Foolish people are harder to redeem than bad people.

Chen Xiao smiled calmly and said, "Dictatorship? So what?"

Gao Yue and the others looked at him, nervously clutching their clothes tightly. Those who knew Chen Xiao well knew he was angry.

Li Xiao also sensed Chen Xiao's coldness. Feeling wronged herself, she decided to be blunt: "President Chen, what she's doing will harm the foundation's interests. It's pointlessly rendering all our previous hard work useless, and we'll have to spend time and resources negotiating new clients." Zhang Ziqian and Ma Jing exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. How stupid could this person be? Her reasoning was only good for fooling herself; to use it with President Chen was ridiculous.
They glanced at Gao Yue again, and sure enough, Gao's eyes were filled with despair.

Sure enough, the destructive power of a villain's elaborate scheme is no match for a fool's quick wit. I doubt Mr. Gao will dare bring this kind of person to Mr. Chen's office again.

Chen Xiao's voice remained calm, but his tone was icy: "Whether it harms the company's interests is another matter. Even if it does, so what?"

Li Xiao was taken aback. She realized that President Chen was completely unreasonable. So what if this? So what if that? You're the boss, isn't this harming your interests?

Then Chen Xiao said, "Ziqian, put Huadi Property on Junxiao Group's blacklist of partners. We'll only remove it when President He feels it's okay to let it go. I don't even want to criticize my woman for being a little willful, so who has the right to tell her what to do? It's ridiculous."

He stood up. "Ziqian, bring me a meal to my office later."

If it weren't for Gao Yue's sake, Li Xiao wouldn't have been fired on the spot. He dared to complain about He Qing; he doesn't even know who he is. Zhang Ziqian then followed Chen Xiao out.

Li Xiao, looking resentful, and Gao Yue, pale-faced, were left behind.

Gao Yue knew that Chen Xiao was giving her plenty of face; otherwise, he would have definitely kicked her out. She knew Chen Xiao's personality too well. Today it was because of He Qing; he would defend her the same way if it were her turn someday. He was just fiercely protective of his own. How could Li Xiao possibly have the right to criticize his woman or even complain to him? Wasn't that ridiculous?

"Xiaoxiao, hurry up and eat. After you finish, come downstairs to the office with me."

Gao Yue was too lazy to lecture her anymore. She was just plain stupid, and that couldn't be solved by lecturing. The best way was to make her have less contact with Chen Xiao in the future to avoid things turning out like this again.

"Ah Yue, what should we do about Huadi Property? Should we talk to General Manager Xu again?"

Li Xiao felt utterly humiliated. He had boasted so much in front of Zhong Liang yesterday; how was he supposed to face the industry after this?

Ma Jing thought she was stupid enough, but compared to this Mr. Li, she immediately felt that she had an 800-point brain. Was she sent here to make her feel superior?
"Let's eat," Gao Yue said, too lazy to waste any more words, feeling that saying another word would be a waste of time. She planned to call Ding Yong later to explain the Huadi Property matter. Although Ding Yong was now worlds apart from her in terms of status, she still held some lingering affection for him.

Unbeknownst to them, on the 28th floor of the Yunfeng Building, in He Qing's office, the usually good-tempered CEO slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "This is utterly shameless!"

The property management company at Jindi Xiushan Yin actually cut off Qin Xiaoyan's electricity. This is truly shameless. They've been extorting money from shop owners under the guise of being the landlord, and now they've cut off their electricity even though the shop owner doesn't owe any bills.

He Qing picked up the phone and dialed.

Ding Yong was currently in the chairman's office at Gemdale Group, with Zhong Liang sitting beside him. Last night, that General Manager Li had basically agreed to accept him as a front man. With that person's connections, Ding Yong would have more business than he could handle in the future. In the Hanjiang area, who wouldn't want to cooperate with Junxiao Group? They had money, were willing to pay, and settled accounts quickly.

"Brother Yong, thank you so much. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Ding Yong was happy for him: "Being able to get on board with Junxiao Group is something many companies dream of. Keep it up and do a good job!"

The phone rang. Ding Yong picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and immediately gestured to Zhong Liang to be quiet. At the same time, he stood up, behaving respectfully even over the phone. This immediately made Zhong Liang realize that the other party must be an important figure. In the entire Hanjiang area, he had never seen anyone who could command such respect from Brother Yong. Even the CEO Li from last night couldn't do that. Could this person be an even more powerful figure than CEO Li?

"Hello, Mr. He!"

Ding Yong was surprised that He Qing would call him. He felt flattered and was thinking about how to make a good impression on President He. But when he heard President He's angry words on the other end of the line, Ding Yong felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that President He was good-tempered. How could she make her so angry? Who was this person? How dare she? Wasn't she courting death? He knew very well that President He was one of President Chen's most favored women.

After He Qing explained the ins and outs of the matter, Ding Yong's expression changed drastically. He turned to look at Zhong Liang, who was still dreaming about the future. He probably didn't know how big a mess his nephew had made for him.

Fortunately, Mr. He's request was not excessive; he immediately restored the power and replaced the property management company for the community.

Ding Yong agreed without hesitation. He would be foolish to hesitate for even a second at this point. It wasn't that he didn't want to protect Zhong Liang; President He's punishment was already very lenient. If President Chen were to intervene, he could send Zhong Liang straight to the deepest hell.

After ending the call, Zhong Liang was about to ask who the important person was when Ding Yong, with a grim expression, shouted at him, "Call the property management company of Jindi Xiushan Yin right now and have them put electricity on the unit with the number XXXX. Call them immediately."

Upon seeing Ding Yong's expression, which seemed to indicate impending doom, Zhong Liang dared not delay and immediately called his nephew to make arrangements.

Chen Xiao came to the office and sat down on the sofa. Zhang Ziqian followed and said, "Boss, don't be angry. That General Manager Li is a bit silly."

He sneered, "She really is an idiot. If it weren't for Xu Wu and Gao Yue's sake, I would have told her to get lost."

“Boss, I know why Mr. He rejected the cooperation project with Huadi Property.”

"Oh?" Chen Xiao pointed to the sofa, gesturing for her to sit down and talk.

Junxiao Group's security team is responsible for protecting important figures. Every day, if anything happens, they must report it immediately, and all of this information will eventually be compiled by Zhang Ziqian. Just now at the restaurant, she received the report from yesterday at Jindi Xiushan Yin, detailing how He Qing argued with the property management company and got into a dispute, and even the rude remarks made by Manager Zhong.

Chen Xiao's face was ashen, and he laughed angrily. How dare Li Xiao complain about He Qing in front of him? Who gave her the guts? Just as he was about to explode, Zhang Ziqian calmed him down: "Boss, President Li should not know about this matter. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to come here to complain even if she had a hundred lives."

This calmed Chen Xiao's anger somewhat, and after thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Ziqian's judgment made sense.

"Ziqian, go and talk to General Manager Gao and tell Ding Yong to terminate all cooperation with Huadi Property. At the same time, tell her not to bring Li Xiao here anymore, and to make Li Xiao leave the Junxiao Charity Foundation. He Qing is a girl with no cunning at all; we can't keep someone like that around."

He Qing is kind-hearted; if she's bullied, she'll simply refuse to cooperate. He, however, is different. Anyone who dares to bully his woman is asking for death.

Zhang Ziqian understood his personality; this was the most merciful he had ever been. She hurried over to find Gao Yue, fearing that President Chen might suddenly change his mind and intensify the sanctions, putting Gao Yue in a difficult position. However, Zhang Ziqian disagreed with his claim that He Qing was completely without guile. She believed President He was simply shrewd and intelligent; she just didn't harm others, but she was very clever.

Li Xiao couldn't taste any flavor in this lunch worth millions. She had already realized that she had angered Chen Xiao. She didn't expect Chen Xiao to be so protective of He Qing. Judging from his attitude, the Junxiao Charity Foundation could do whatever He Qing wanted, and it didn't matter if she made mistakes.

In Chen Xiao's words, "So what if my woman is a little willful?"

The sound of Zhang Ziqian's stiletto heels clicking on the floor revealed her anxious mood.

"Ziqian, I've already asked the chef team to set aside a separate portion for Mr. Chen. You can eat now, I'll bring it to him."

Li Xiao noticed that Gao Yue had no airs at all in front of Zhang Ziqian, acting just like a sister, which made her feel a little jealous.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Chen asked me to say something to you, and then I'll head back."

Gao Yue had already stood up. "You said—" She had a bad feeling that Li Xiao was probably going to be in trouble this time.

Li Xiao also became nervous, and then heard Zhang Ziqian say, "Please have General Manager Gao call Ding Yong and ask him to completely terminate the cooperation with Huadi Property."

With a thud, Li Xiao fell to the ground, looking terrified.

{How could this be? Even if they disagreed with the cooperation between Junxiao Charitable Foundation and Huadi Property, why force Gemdale Group to cooperate with Huadi Property as well? Isn't this going too far?}
"In addition, please also convey to Junxiao Group that Huadi Property will be blacklisted from cooperation, and that all projects under Junxiao Group will not cooperate with Huadi Property."

Li Xiao's pupils dilated. She knew that Huadi Property was finished, but she didn't understand why Chen Xiao had acted so ruthlessly.

He quickly turned to Gao Yue and found that she didn't hesitate at all, and took out her phone to call Ding Yong.

Why didn't she try to fight for it? (End of Chapter)
