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

The vehicle's height has been subtly lowered by 45 millimeters, resembling a black panther with its claws retracted.

The car's air system released a blend of glacial pine and new banknote ink, instantly overpowering the perfume scent that filled the lobby.

The car door slowly closed, a titanium alloy champagne stand rose from the rear center armrest, and there were lamb wool floor mats underfoot. The car window was lowered by one-third. She glanced at Li's father and Li Chuan, who had just walked out of the hotel revolving door, then turned her face away indifferently, and the car window slowly rose.

"How could she...?"

Mr. Li stammered as he asked the question. Just then, his phone buzzed. He picked it up, glanced at it, and then, with a thud, dropped it back to the ground.

The message was from General Manager Song: "Old Li, the person I was reporting to General Manager Qin about just now is our Chairman—General Manager Han!"

Han Xue is the chairperson of Junxiao Supermarket? How old is she? How is that possible?
But the facts were undeniable: the obsequious manner in which President Qin and President Song treated her, and the fact that her car was a Rolls-Royce Phantom worth tens of millions. Mr. Li knew he might have made a grave mistake, a mistake that had forever jeopardized the Li family's potential for great success. Yesterday at the Han family's house, he had undoubtedly offended them once again.

"President Song, President Song, you're off work today, let's sit for a while longer," he said, taking the phone that Li Chuan had picked up and handed to him, and quickly sending a message to President Song.

After a pause, President Song replied, "Old Li, I've been very busy lately. You should focus on repairing the relationship first—"

Mr. Li understood that because of his relationship with the Han family, President Song dared not see him now, let alone help him. The most important thing now was to repair the relationship, but could it be repaired? His own sister was so cold to him, not to mention the key figure now was Han Xue. As a junior, she had no feelings for her uncle. Yesterday, he had even said some hurtful things to her boyfriend in front of her whole family. He would definitely write all of this down in his little notebook.

"Dad, look—"

Following the direction Li Chuan pointed, Li's father looked over and saw two more Rolls-Royce Phantoms driving by, the first one being an extended version.

"What day is it today? Why are there so many Rolls-Royces?"

The question had barely left his lips when a woman's voice called out from behind, "Excuse me, gentlemen—"

The two turned around and were immediately stunned. The short-haired girl was dressed the same as the others who accompanied Han Xue. Could she also be from Junxiao Supermarket?
They stepped aside, and when they looked up again, their eyes were filled with horror.

Han Xue's boyfriend? The two of them actually saw the young Chen they had met at Han Xue's house yesterday, the one they had accused of marrying above his station. At that moment, he was walking out of the hotel hand in hand with a woman who was even more beautiful than Han Xue, accompanied by two other stunning beauties.

They were astonished that there was a woman prettier than Han Xue, and even more astonished by Xiao Chen's audacity in openly holding hands with another woman in the hotel Han Xue had just left. Li Chuan couldn't help but admire this guy's audacity. Han Xue was such a stunning beauty; he was already the envy of countless men for having her as his girlfriend. And now he had someone even prettier than Han Xue! The worst part was that they were so brazen, openly displaying their affection in public.

Chen Xiao saw them too, but didn't even bother to give them a second glance. These trashy relatives were less appealing to him than a stranger.

The suicide doors of the Rolls-Royce Phantom had already been opened by the short-haired girl who got out of the passenger seat.

Chen Xiao led Zhao Xiangjun into the car, and the bodyguard immediately closed the door. He Qing and Wang Ping then got into the car behind, and the vehicles slowly drove away. Li's father and Li Chuan exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

Chen Xiao's entourage was much larger than Han Xue's, clearly indicating that he holds a higher position. Therefore, it's obvious why Han Xue has achieved her current status.

"Dad, did you see those six Mercedes GLSs? They look like bodyguard vehicles. Who are they? They travel with dozens of bodyguards, such a big entourage?"

It's terrifying to think about! It's terrifying to think about! Mr. Li was stunned for a full few minutes, then he seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant: "This kind of person is someone we can never even look up to. What we need to do now is to quickly repair our relationship, although we don't know if it's too late. Otherwise, all our relatives will be relying on Han Xue to take off, and we may be the only ones still stuck in the same place."

Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Xiangjun looked out curiously. "Is that Han Xue's second uncle? Poor Xiaoxue, how could she have such a relative?"

"When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even distant relatives come calling from the deep mountains!" Chen Xiao smiled. Xiang Jun's relatives were only slightly better off than Han Xue's. Although they couldn't help, they wouldn't ridicule or make sarcastic remarks. What kind of relatives were Han Xue's second uncle? They were more like enemies.

"How many days will you be staying in Dubai this time?"

"No, I'm just going to take a look, not go on vacation. I'll be back in two or three days. With such a beautiful wife at home, how could I bear to be away for so long?"

I'll go there with Xiao Yuting first thing tomorrow morning. Xiao Yuting will go check on the progress of the overseas sales channel development. I'll accompany her, and also because the "Blue Star Guardian" is becoming increasingly important to the Chen family. I haven't been to see it yet, so this is a good opportunity to take a look.

"Since you're going out, why don't you take someone with you? Let's go out and have some fun."

Zhao Xiangjun didn't specify who to bring, naturally because he had too many women, and it would be awkward if she chose someone Chen Xiao wasn't planning to bring.

"Hmm, I'm planning to take Feifei and Bailu on a trip. One of them is a workaholic; even when she's abroad, it's for work, and she rarely has time to relax. The other one hasn't been out and about for a year, and I bet she's going crazy from being cooped up at home."

Bai Lu used to be a rich girl who didn't have much to do at the company. When Chen Xiao met her, she often went to get skincare and beauty treatments during work hours. After meeting Chen Xiao, she was inspired by his "bricklaying" philosophy and started to become enthusiastic about her work. It wasn't until she later discovered that Chen Xiao was just putting on an act and was actually lazier than anyone else that she stopped being so dedicated to her work. But compared to the beginning, she still spent at least several times more time on work.

It was already afternoon when the group returned to Jiangzhou. Chen Xiao went to the company because Lin Ya had returned from her business trip.

Zhang Ziqian was on vacation, but when she learned that Chen Xiao was coming, she drove her Ferrari FUV into the company. She was going to Dubai with Chen Xiao the next day, and she came into the company in the afternoon to prepare some things.

After thousands of rounds of fighting, Lin Ya was already completely routed. Chen Xiao held her close, listening to her report on the developments in the Second War Zone.

Because of the strong foundation of the Han River, the Second War Zone is now slightly larger than the First War Zone overall. Don't let Zhao Hui's workaholic nature fool you; when Lin Ya gets ruthless, she's no less formidable. After all, she's the Empress, making it easier for her to mobilize group resources and make decisions quickly. In this respect, her advantage over Zhao Hui is something Lu Tao of the Third War Zone can never match.

"At this rate, you're going to exceed your KPIs!"

Lin Ya let out a soft moan, then became excited again. "The main problem is that Wansheng Group has given up all resistance and is in complete collapse. Not to mention the local projects."

Chen Xiao nodded his head above and below, instantly resembling a dragon swimming in the sea.

The local projects are a different story; they're not on the same level as Junxiao Plaza, and their positioning is different. Junxiao Plaza's customer base is completely different from theirs, so these projects can coexist peacefully.

That evening, Chen Xiao unexpectedly received a message from Qiu Qiaoqiao. She had returned from a long trip. Chen Xiao knew that she wanted to retrieve the jade thumb ring and asked where she was.

Knowing it was at Zichen Palace, Chen Xiao took a car there. At night, under the streetlights, Qiu Qiaoqiao, tall and elegant, resembled a delicate orchid in the midnight air. Chen Xiao got out of the car and walked over with a smile, "If I had come any later, I don't know how many people would have tried to chat me up."

The man who stepped out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom immediately deterred many people who wanted to strike up a conversation.

"I knew you were almost there, so I came down early."

"Shall we take a walk ahead? Or how about I treat you to a meal?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao didn't refuse. "Let me treat you. How about we go for barbecue on this day?"

Chen Xiao originally wanted to go to "Drunken Youth" barbecue, but Qiu Qiaoqiao said there was a row of food stalls not far ahead, and many of the beauties from Zichen Palace liked to go there for late-night snacks. She said it was very good.

"Then let's go, we can take a walk along the way—are you going out for fun this time?" Chen Xiao tried to make conversation. Unfortunately, Qiu Qiaoqiao just hummed in response and didn't say anything more. It seemed that this woman was usually a quiet person.

"How's business at Zichen Palace lately?"

"That's great!"

"How good is it?"

"About the same as before—"

Chen Xiao was speechless. "I feel like our conversation can be described with one idiom."

"A load of nonsense?"

"So you feel that way too—" Chen Xiao was somewhat speechless.

"That's it. At this time of day, the nightclubs have just started work, so business here is actually not so good. Once the nightclubs gradually close, more people will come out for late-night snacks."

A few makeshift sheds, simple tables, and gas cylinders nearby. Chen Xiao and Qiu Qiaoqiao sat down and casually ordered some barbecue. Qiu Qiaoqiao asked Chen Xiao if he wanted to drink.

Chen Xiao waved, and his bodyguard took a bottle of Romanée-Conti from the car.

"Let's drink this, beer makes us feel bloated—", this is a street food stall, the beer is real, but we can't drink it.

The boss saw that they had brought their own alcohol, but he didn't say anything. He even lent them a decanter. He never imagined that these two were eating barbecue that cost a hundred or so yuan, but drinking wine that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

He handed Chen Xiao a skewer of lamb, saying, "You don't like this, do you?"

"No, not at all—" His current lifestyle was indeed extravagant, but to say that he couldn't eat at street stalls was not necessarily true. The food here might not be as refined or as hygienic, but the taste was authentic. Only in an environment like this could one find such flavors.

Qiu Qiaoqiao was pouring wine for Chen Xiao when she suddenly paused, stopping her pouring motion. Chen Xiao followed her gaze and saw a woman with her back to them.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing. I think that girl looks a lot like the beer girl I met at the bar last time—"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao turned around again, but the person had already disappeared.

"She just saw us and hid—"

It's almost certain that she took the jade thumb ring, but there's no proof, and since the lost item has been recovered, they didn't pursue the matter further.

"Should I send someone to chase after her and ask her?"

"No need, there's no need. We won't have any contact in the future anyway."

Chen Xiao nodded, indicating his agreement with Qiu Qiaoqiao's idea.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xiao told her that he would be going on a long trip tomorrow and would visit her at Zichen Palace when he returned.

Qiu Qiaoqiao smiled faintly, "There are many beautiful women in Zichen Palace, I don't drink with them."

"Haha, friends, we'll meet and chat about life—"

"Mr. Chen doesn't seem like someone who's looking to discuss ideals and life with."

Uh—"So what do you think I went there to do?"

"You're clearly going to find someone to have a baby with."

Chen Xiao raised his glass and clinked it with hers. "A true friend sees through things but doesn't say it out loud. Besides, at most I'll just mimic the actions of giving birth; I won't actually give birth."

Qiu Qiaoqiao remained expressionless, leaving Chen Xiao's self-satisfied sense of humor nowhere to land. "Mr. Chen, do you always talk like this, resorting to such lewd tactics?"

"That's not true. I'm selective about who I'm dealing with. I definitely wouldn't act like a scoundrel if I didn't like someone."

She took a small sip of the red wine in her glass. "Then I should thank you for giving me this honor—"

"Hey, Qiaoqiao, we're friends, no need to be so formal. By the way, speaking of ideals, what are your ideals?"

"My ideal—?" Qiu Qiaoqiao's eyes were a little strange as she said calmly, "Does avenging my father count?"

Chen Xiao frowned. She had heard her say that her father's death did not seem to be natural, and there must be some hidden story behind it.

"You're a pretty girl, don't spend all your time thinking about these grudges and resentments. This isn't something a girl your age should be dealing with."

"Then what should I be thinking about? Throwing aside my father's revenge, and then finding a man to have a romantic affair with?" Qiu Qiaoqiao's lips curled into a cold smile.

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment. "I just feel that these things are too heavy for a girl like you. How about this, we're friends. If you trust me, tell me about your father's situation, and I'll try to help you get revenge. How about that?"

"You—?" Qiu Qiaoqiao was clearly taken aback. "You're helping me get revenge?"

"What, you don't believe me? My power is beyond your imagination."

He shook his head. "No, Mr. Chen, you can't help me get revenge."

Chen Xiao was a little unhappy. "You didn't even say, how do you know I can't help? You know my abilities are just the tip of the iceberg. How about this, Qiaoqiao, you tell me. Whether I can help or not, it's always good to have another person offer advice."

Qiu Qiaoqiao shook her head again, and was about to speak when a timid female voice came from the side: "Excuse me, gentlemen." (End of this chapter)
