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

what's up?

“Great! Since you’re going to work here, why don’t you work in our private room? I’ll give you double the tip.”

Miaomiao and Lanlan glanced at him indifferently, as if he were an ant, and continued walking forward without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Liu refused and reached out to grab Miaomiao's hand. However, a burly young man standing beside the two women swiftly grabbed Mr. Liu's wrist: "Sir, please have some self-respect. Those two have already been assigned to work—"

"Damn it, where's your manager? Where's the boss? I need to find him."

Those two beauties really made President Liu's soul fly away. Judging from President Zhang's appearance, he wasn't much better off. If those two beauties weren't with him tonight, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well.

The burly man smiled and said, "Sir, you should go back to your private room first. There's no use going to the boss about this."

"I'll figure out which private room they went to myself."

He shook his head: "You'd better not disturb those distinguished guests over there, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."

"Trouble? I'll just avoid causing trouble for others. Who would dare to cause trouble for me?"

The burly man ignored him. Once Miaomiao and Lanlan had walked far away, he released President Liu and quickly followed after them.

Mr. Zhang walked over, frowning. "This young man looks like a bodyguard, and his skills are quite impressive. How can someone working in a nightclub need a bodyguard?"

This is outrageous!
"Boss, why don't you go back to your private room and rest? I'll go check it out with you." Boss Liu was a lecherous man to begin with; those two women were too beautiful. He rarely saw beauties like them in his life, let alone in nightclubs or outside. Besides, even if there were such beautiful women outside, they wouldn't be dressed so sexily and alluringly.

Mr. Zhang shook his head. “Come on, I’ll go with you to see. I’m also very curious about who’s in the VIP box.”

Mr. Liu said confidently, "No matter who he is, everyone who knows your status will give him face."

Mr. Zhang smiled but didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he agreed with Mr. Liu's words. "Let's go. Be polite later, go in and get to know each other, and understand the situation before we talk."

He remained cautious, intending to first ascertain the situation before entering. If the opponent was weaker than him, things would be easier. If the opponent was not a friendly ally, he was there to make friends, so he wouldn't risk making a powerful enemy. He was meticulous in his planning, knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

The two arrived at the Emperor's Mansion and found guards standing at the entrance. Several short-haired young women and a few burly young men, all incredibly strong, were present. Mr. Zhang could tell at a glance they were seasoned veterans. He couldn't help but wonder if he should also bring a few bodyguards when he went out in the future.

However, they were somewhat surprised not to see the burly young man who had just stopped President Liu.

The two arrived at the entrance of the Emperor's Suite. Mr. Liu stepped forward, but was stopped by a male bodyguard: "Sir, what is it?"

Seeing this, Mr. Liu didn't dare to be too arrogant. Anyone who could bring so many bodyguards was definitely not simple. Mr. Zhang's identity was indeed intimidating, but this person in the Emperor's Suite was no ordinary person either.

We wanted to come and make friends.

Upon hearing Mr. Liu's words, the bodyguard didn't hesitate for a second. "It's inconvenient, please leave."

Mr. Liu was displeased. "You didn't even inform us before making the decision for your boss? Do you know who we are? Because of your unauthorized decision, your boss may miss an opportunity to make new friends."

The short-haired girl standing nearby suddenly said, "Jun Dao, why are you arguing with him? Just tell him to get lost."

"Military knife?" General Zhang narrowed his eyes, recognizing it as the man's code name.

"Understood, Fifth Sister," she said, then turned to General Manager Liu and said, "Let's go quickly, I don't want to lay a hand on you."

"Make a move?" General Manager Liu subconsciously took a step back. If this guy really made a move, the two young men he brought with him probably wouldn't stand a chance.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang walked over and said, “Don’t misunderstand, I am a returned overseas Chinese who is looking for some projects to invest in in China. I saw that your boss is quite powerful and his business must be quite large, so I thought I would like to come and make friends. Maybe we can do some projects together. As for the scale, it could start at over 1 billion, or even over 10 billion.”

Mr. Zhang felt that someone with so much capital like himself wouldn't refuse to meet the other party if they were even a decent person. After all, who in business doesn't want more money? Even if they don't need it now, what about in the future?
Besides, if he could come up with so much money, he probably had connections and resources that the other party needed. He thought that if he mentioned billions or tens of billions, the other party's bodyguards wouldn't dare to stop him anymore. However, what he saw was a mocking smile on Fifth Sister's lips, as if he were talking about tens of billions as something shameful.

Damn, this guy's bodyguards are a bunch of lunatics. If my bodyguard team were like that, I'd have fired them long ago.
The male bodyguard turned to look at Fifth Sister. He was new and was still shocked to hear that it was worth hundreds of billions.

Fifth Sister came over and asked, "Are you a returned overseas Chinese? How long have you been back? What did you do before? What investments do you currently have in China?"

Sure enough, wealth is the key to success. Mr. Zhang smiled, already imagining how the other party would obediently hand over those two beauties to him once they knew he had billions in funds to use for projects. Just like this Mr. Liu, who practically treated him like a father.

“My surname is Zhang. I just returned to China. All my overseas projects have ended. I came back this time to look for some valuable and promising projects to invest in. The reason I came to Jiangzhou is because Jiangzhou’s development over the past year has been remarkable. I heard that the business environment here is good, so this is my first stop.”

"Where did you develop your career while you were abroad?"

After a moment's thought, Mr. Zhang said, "South Africa—"

Fifth Sister stared at him for a moment, then said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go report."

This Fifth Sister, whom Chen Xiao usually calls Xiao Wu, was one of the earliest people to follow Chen Xiao and Xiang Jun, and also Hassan's earliest core team member and the most outstanding soldier.

Mr. Zhang nodded, calmly stepped aside, and confidently said to Mr. Liu, "A brain is a good thing; use it often when things happen."

"Boss, you're right!" Mr. Liu cursed inwardly, "Are you even using a brain? You're just using money, okay?"

Mr. Zhang brought a large amount of capital back to Jiangzhou to invest. Recently, Mr. Liu accompanied him to meet with various bigwigs in Jiangzhou. Naturally, these bigwigs wanted to keep this private investor, who possesses tens of billions of yuan, in Jiangzhou. In the past few days, they have introduced many high-tech companies to Mr. Zhang. Almost every day, these bigwigs call to inquire about Mr. Zhang's investments. Mr. Liu, as Mr. Zhang's right-hand man, has felt a great deal of warmth and support.

His flattery of President Zhang was, of course, a ploy to get him promoted.

Think of Ma Jian of Dongjian Trading. He only makes a few billion in business a year, yet he's so arrogant. He has no idea how staggering Dongjian Trading's profits are. Logically speaking, a company with a few billion in business might only have a few hundred million in net profit at most. Such a person wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Mr. Zhang's shoes. And he himself is already one of Mr. Zhang's most trusted people in Jiangzhou. Mr. Liu feels his status has risen, and if he encounters Ma Jian again in the future, he can look down on him with disdain.

Hmph, last time, I apologized to him myself; next time, I'll make him apologize to me.

Inside the private room, Chen Xiao had previously selected over 20 beauties, and had a dozen or so of them drinking with Luffy. Ma Jian was cheering from the side, saying that they were going to get Luffy drunk to the point of ecstasy today.

He left no one by his side, because he had made an appointment with Qiu Qiaoqiao, who was on her way. With a femme fatale like Qiu Qiaoqiao, all these so-called beauties became nothing more than vulgar cosmetics.

To his surprise, the owner of Zichen Palace arranged for two great beauties, Miaomiao and Lanlan, to come over. Although they were not as good as Qiu Qiaoqiao, they were definitely school beauties.

The two women, dressed in revealing and sexy attire, sat on either side of Chen Xiao, exuding a delicate fragrance mixed with their natural scents. This caused Chen Xiao's stamina to begin to stir again; if Qiu Qiaoqiao hadn't been arriving soon, he truly wouldn't have been able to control himself.

These two beautiful women were extremely proactive towards him, almost to the point of seduction. Chen Xiao assumed they knew his identity and wanted to compete for his wealth, so he didn't think much of it. Little did he know, they were actually there to "take the fall" for him.

After clapping his hands, Ma Jian had a row of beauties stand in front of Chen Xiao, and he and Luffy also walked over.

"Everyone, listen to what General Manager Chen has to say—"

"Get lost. We're here to have fun, why are you lecturing us?" Chen Xiao said with a laugh, then addressed the beauties, "Since you've come all this way, I'll set some rules for the game—"

"You all keep these two company and have a good drink. Whoever finishes a bottle of Louis XIII will receive a reward of 5. Whoever gets Mr. Lu and Mr. Ma to share a drink will receive a reward of 1. Oh, the two rewards are cumulative."

Oh--

The beauties were thrilled; those with a high alcohol tolerance could earn in a year or even several years' worth of money tonight. Those with a low tolerance looked dejected, lamenting that their parents hadn't passed on their drinking talent. Fortunately, President Chen offered another reward: a ten thousand yuan bonus for each drink Mr. Ma and Mr. Lu shared.

They were practically shouting "Long live the Emperor!"
At this point, someone boldly asked Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen, what if someone ends up in the hospital after drinking too much?"

If she hadn't asked, Chen Xiao would have almost forgotten that money can be a powerful motivator, and these women might really risk their lives for it. But Chen Xiao wanted them to drink well, not to drink themselves to death.

"Anyone who goes to the hospital will have their entire bonus confiscated."

what--

I should have known better than to ask. Those who can't hold their liquor really wanted to give it a shot. Now we can only pin our hopes on Boss Ma and Boss Lu. But how much can those two drink? Dozens of people, one glass each and they'd be knocked out.

Now it's a case of each woman using her unique talents to surround the two men. Chen Xiao's side is suddenly quiet—

With one arm around Lanlan's waist, his exposed skin was delicate and elastic, while with the other he felt Miaomiao's soft little hand on his body.

If he hadn't known that Qiu Qiaoqiao was almost there, he would have already lost his patience.

hum-

The phone on the table rang. He thought it was Qiu Qiaoqiao calling, but it turned out to be a message from Zhang Ziqian.

Ziqian and Ma Jing went to a class reunion tonight, so why is she sending me messages so late? It must be something important. He picked up his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and opened the message.

Miaomiao and Lanlan moved to sit further forward to avoid seeing Chen Xiao's phone screen and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Chen Xiao had a faint smile on his face. The message Zhang Ziqian sent was Hassan's investigation report on the "South African miner" Boss Qiao.

After Mr. Qiao was attacked and killed, a follower he had brought from China a couple of years ago almost took over his previous business and started cooperating with those "miners".

Inheritance? Mr. Qiao has a son named Qiao Mingming. He previously hit Zhang Ziqian's father while driving and then got out and beat the old man. Chen Xiao's legal team sent him to work as a sewing machine operator.

Logically, this person should be the one to inherit, so why is it an outsider? Therefore, this inheritance should be put in quotation marks; it's more like a case of double-crossing or swallowing up someone else's business.

The information Zhang Ziqian provided about Hassan revealed that this underling also had the surname Zhang, and not only had he inherited Mr. Qiao's business, but he was also said to have taken possession of a large amount of gold that Mr. Qiao had previously stored away.

But for some reason, this young man surnamed Zhang soon had some conflicts with the South African miners. Later, a new force emerged in Cape Town—the same force that attacked the Blue Star Guardians.

They not only attacked the "Blue Star Guardians," but also the miners in South Africa. Last time in Dubai, Chen Xiao asked Hassan to investigate whether President Qiao had any remaining influence, and whether that influence was connected to President Qiao.

The investigation results are in; this force is called [Crystal Orchid].

When Chen Xiao first heard the name, he thought it was the name of an all-female army. Why would an armed force have such a name?

But then Zhang Ziqian explained that the crystal orchid is a parasitic plant, and according to folklore, it can absorb the souls of enemies. Is this an Avengers alliance?
Who are they taking revenge on? They attacked both the guardians of Earth and the miners in South Africa. It's like they're making enemies everywhere and causing trouble on multiple fronts.

Today's results dispelled Chen Xiao's initial suspicion that this was a remnant of President Qiao. The investigation revealed that over the past two months, this armed group called "Crystal Orchid" had been attacking President Qiao's successor, a Chinese man surnamed Zhang, the most frequent target.

It is said that the Chinese man surnamed Zhang suffered heavy losses and nearly lost his life several times. Now he has sold all his businesses there at a low price and returned to China with a large sum of money.

He's smart; China is one of the safest countries. Besides, personal capital investing in China is highly sought after in various regions, and they're treated like royalty by local bigwigs.

Putting down his phone, he massaged Lanlan's beautiful legs while thinking about this organization called "Crystal Orchid." It was quite ruthless, managing to bring hundreds of billions of dollars of capital into China.

Just then, Fifth Sister came over, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words. Chen Xiao was immediately stunned. What a coincidence! (End of Chapter)
