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

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's description, Chen Xiao's first thought was that the CEO Zhang who wanted to meet him outside the door must be the successor of CEO Qiao mentioned in the message sent by Zhang Ziqian.

What does he want from me? Surely it's not to avenge President Qiao?

This is China. The other party wouldn't commit violence in public. Besides, even if it were revenge, he should be directing from the shadows, not rushing to the front lines.

Chen Xiao couldn't understand why the other party would come to find him. He was overthinking it. He never imagined that the other party was blinded by lust and was attracted by Lanlan and Miaomiao's beauty.

"Boss, let me toast you—"

Ma Jian appeared to be there to offer a toast, but he was actually trying to avoid the limelight. Inspired by Mr. Chen's promise of 10,000 yuan per drink, the group of young women were now pulling out all the stops to get him and Luffy drunk. They practically wanted to drink just one glass so they could all go to the restroom together.

He and Luffy were only being a little unrestrained for this moment. When Qiu Qiaoqiao arrived, they would definitely have to restrain themselves. Ma Jian knew that Chen Xiao quite liked that girl, unlike ordinary courtesans.

Chen Xiao drank a glass with him and then said, "There's a returned overseas Chinese man surnamed Zhang outside. Go and send him away, and while you're at it, find out what he's up to."

Outside, Mr. Zhang was getting impatient and muttered under his breath, "These locals here, they all have such high and mighty attitudes, they've never seen the world before."

Mr. Liu quickly replied, "It's a small place. People think they're something special just because they do a business worth hundreds of millions. These people are nothing but ants in front of you."

Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Xiao Wu came out with a young man. Boss Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap, it's him?"

"Who is he?"

Mr. Liu said in a low voice, "He's the owner of a trading company with an annual turnover of several billion."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang scoffed, "A nobody. Is this the guy who bullied you last time? See? It's important to follow the right person. He used to look down on you, but now that you're with me, he's all smiles and welcoming. Once he invites us in, I'll help you bury the hatchet. If he's sensible, I might even invest in him and help him grow bigger and stronger."

"Mr. Ma, right?" Looking at Ma Jian walking over, President Zhang smiled faintly and greeted him, but his tone carried a hint of arrogance.

Seeing that President Zhang had offered his hand, Ma Jian did not take it, which made President Zhang's face turn cold.

Ma Jian saw General Manager Liu and said, "It's you, you old bastard. Didn't I tell you last time that you should get the hell out of my sight? It hasn't been that long, and you've already forgotten?"

Mr. Liu was genuinely afraid of him. This bastard was a bit arrogant and also quite powerful. After being beaten by him last time, he wanted to get revenge and contacted several big shots. But when they heard that it was Dongjian Trading, they all fell silent and even kept their distance from him.

Because of this, he realized he couldn't afford to offend them and went to Dongjian Trading to apologize. It wasn't until he met General Manager Zhang and received the support of this wealthy tycoon that General Manager Liu gradually regained his confidence.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang was somewhat furious. He had just told Mr. Liu that he would go out of his way to greet him, but the other party didn't even look at him and was even scolding Mr. Liu from the side. This was clearly a sign that he wasn't respected. Hadn't the bodyguard called "Fifth Sister" given him a brief introduction of his situation? Otherwise, how dare he ignore him?

Mr. Liu glanced at Mr. Zhang, finally mustering his courage, and said, "Mr. Ma. This Mr. Zhang is a big boss who has returned from abroad, bringing a large sum of money to find good projects."

Mr. Zhang felt that the woman called "Fifth Sister" must not have told Mr. Ma her identity, which was why Mr. Ma was ignoring him. Now that Mr. Liu had introduced her, Mr. Zhang immediately put on a superior attitude again, while staring at Ma Jian, hoping to see some shock in his eyes.

"Looking for a good project? What are you doing here?"

Is this guy truly clueless, or is he genuinely rich? Mr. Zhang looked at Ma Jian and said, "I'm here to make friends with you, Mr. Ma."

Ma Jian laughed heartily: "You—?"

Then he pointed to himself, "Be my friend?"

Mr. Zhang's face darkened at his laughter. "What, Mr. Ma, do you think I'm not worthy to be your friend?"

“I’m really not interested in you,” she said, then turned to Mr. Liu and said, “Mental illness isn’t contagious, but why is there not a single normal person with you?”

"Damn it!" Mr. Zhang's face turned ashen. He had just been bragging to Mr. Liu that this man had treated him like dirt. Now, the dirt had fallen, and the man had slapped him in the face.

"Let's go, let's go—" This guy surnamed Ma was being disrespectful, but President Zhang didn't dare to lose his temper in front of him because the other party had a group of bodyguards. It seems that he also needs to hurry up and recruit enough security personnel in the country. In the event of such emergencies, having bodyguards around will always give him peace of mind.

This time, the two young men that General Manager Liu brought along were completely useless when faced with this kind of situation.

Ma Jian returned to the private room and approached Chen Xiao. "That idiot didn't know you were here. I don't know what got into him, but he wanted to get to know the owner of this room. I saw that old pervert I beat up last time."

As he spoke, Ma Jian glanced at Lanlan and Miaomiao, and Chen Xiao understood what he meant. Ma Jian guessed that the two of them had come over probably because all the beautiful women had been called to his private room.

He waved his hand. "Go have a drink with Luffy."

I checked the time, and Qiu Qiaoqiao will be here soon. Now even Miaomiao and Lanlan aren't so excited anymore.

Outside, Mr. Zhang walked along, constantly texting on his phone. He said to Mr. Liu, "You Jiangzhou locals are so unsophisticated. You're just doing a little business and you're getting a bit arrogant. I'm messaging some big shots in Jiangzhou now, asking them to introduce me to some of your Jiangzhou's business tycoons in the next couple of days. By the way, who are the most famous business leaders in Jiangzhou?"

Upon hearing this, General Manager Liu replied without hesitation, "Then it must be the boss of Junxiao Group. This person is not only a big shot in Jiangzhou, but also a major player on a global scale. He controls fixed assets exceeding one trillion yuan, and the annual output value of the companies controlled by Junxiao Capital exceeds 10 trillion yuan."

Mr. Zhang is already very capable, but in Mr. Liu's eyes, Mr. Zhang is still far inferior to the boss of Junxiao Group.

"The boss of Junxiao Group—", President Zhang muttered a few words, as if recalling something. "Perhaps, I can go and see him."

Mr. Liu asked excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, if we have the chance to meet that person, could you please take me with you?"

"Sure, I'll take you with me to broaden your horizons. After you meet someone like that, you'll realize what kind of narrow-minded person that guy surnamed Ma is."

"Thanks, boss, thank you—hmm? Boss, look at that beauty over there, she's much prettier than those two."

As soon as President Zhang turned his head, his gaze was immediately drawn to him as if by a magnet.

She wore a black dress, like an elegant footnote to a golden age. The dress was made of flowing chiffon, and the knee-length hem perfectly revealed her slender, fair calves. The V-neck design accentuated her swan-like neck, and the diamond necklace at her collarbone swayed gently with each step, reflecting a soft, shimmering light.

"So beautiful—" Mr. Zhang murmured in admiration.

Mr. Liu took a deep breath, "Boss?"

Before he could even remind her, President Zhang strode over and blocked her path, asking, "Beautiful lady, do you work here?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao glanced at the person in front of her, a strange light flashing in her eyes, but she nodded calmly. "That's great, let's go to my private room."

He replied coldly, "You've misunderstood; I'm a sound engineer."

Mr. Zhang was immediately disappointed, but then said, "If you'd like to have a couple of drinks, name your price. 10? 20?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao asked, "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local?"

Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "You must have misheard me. I'm a local. I just spent some time in South Africa two years ago. This accent is the local dialect. The people you usually hear are from other places. They speak various forms of Mandarin, not local dialects."

"South Africa? Just returned from China?"

Seeing that this beautiful woman was willing to chat with him, Mr. Zhang immediately felt that things were looking good and smiled, "Yes, I'm back this time to plan a major investment in China. By the way, I just asked a friend to help me make an appointment with the boss of your Jiangzhou's biggest boss, the boss of Junxiao Group. Do you know Junxiao Group?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao nodded, then said, "I have something to do, goodbye—"

They walked past President Zhang and left, leaving President Zhang completely bewildered. Weren't they having a good chat? Why did they just leave like that?

"Hey, hey—beautiful lady."

Mr. Zhang chased after her for a few steps, then realized something was wrong and stopped. He said to Mr. Liu, "She also went to the Emperor's private room? Is that guy surnamed Ma really the owner of a trading company? What makes him so popular with all these beautiful women?"

Mr. Liu nodded, "He's just a trading company owner, but he must have a lot of connections."

"Damn, trading companies can be this successful? I'm even thinking of investing in one myself."

"A lousy retail company acting so arrogantly, you'd think it was selling LV."

General Manager Liu was delighted. "General Manager Zhang, when would you have time to visit and provide guidance at my company?"

"After I meet with the top people in Jiangzhou, I'll be more interested in your lousy project."

Mr. Liu's face immediately fell, but he quickly regained his fighting spirit. Mr. Zhang wasn't particularly interested, but he wasn't entirely uninterested either. A small investment from someone else could easily amount to tens or even hundreds of millions. That was already enough for him; if he invested any more, the company would change hands. He might dare to invest, but he himself wouldn't dare to accept it.

Inside the private room, Chen Xiao waved to Qiu Qiaoqiao as she entered. Miaomiao and Lanlan exchanged a glance and made room for each other.

The group of beauties who were making a ruckus around Ma Jian and Luffy were also shushed by Ma Jian: "Quiet down."

"President Chen—"

"Why are you always not at work?" Chen Xiao asked. Ever since he met her, she was either in Seoul or frequently taking leave.

"Something's been going on lately."

"Oh, by the way, do you remember that beer girl we met last time?"

Seeing Qiu Qiaoqiao nod, Chen Xiao continued, "I arranged for someone to handle his father's matter, but I didn't expect someone to beat me to it. There are still many good people in this world."

"It's not that there are many good people, she's just lucky."

Chen Xiao smiled, "You seem to understand everything."

"By the way, Mr. Chen, when I arrived, I met a man who claimed to be Mr. Zhang, saying he was an overseas Chinese who had returned from South Africa. He said he wanted to meet with you in the next couple of days?"

He frowned. "Did he harass you?"

Miaomiao and Lanlan exchanged a glance. Ever since Qiu Qiaoqiao arrived, President Chen seemed to have transformed into a refined gentleman. His hands, which had previously been caressing their thighs, were now interlaced, behaving very politely, as if maintaining a certain distance from them. Judging from President Chen's questions, if Qiu Qiaoqiao gave an affirmative answer, President Chen would probably have her legs broken.

"It wasn't harassment, we just exchanged a few words. By the way, are you planning to meet him?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao had never seen her interested in this kind of thing before. Since he couldn't find a topic to talk about with her, he just went along with it.

“It’s alright. I was just thinking that if you were to meet him, I’d like to sit in on the conversation. I’ve been abroad before, but I rarely go to South Africa. I’ve heard that there are many wealthy people there, and their toilets are made of gold. I’m a little curious.”

"Haha, if you're interested, I'll meet him."

It wasn't entirely because of Qiu Qiaoqiao, but mainly because this guy had connections with that President Qiao. Why would he visit me? Did he not know about the feud between President Qiao and me, or was there some other reason? Chen Xiao suddenly had the idea of ​​meeting him.

hum-

Chen Xiao's phone rang; it was Zhang Ziqian calling.
"Ziqian, you're busier at classmate reunions than at work."

Zhang Ziqian was also surprised, as few people usually dared to disturb her at night unless it was an emergency. She was currently dining and chatting with Ma Jing, Zhang Qian, and Wang Ling on the restaurant floor of Junxiao City.

First, she received the information from Hassan. After looking at it, she felt it was very important and forwarded the information to Chen Xiao.

But less than half an hour later, it was the second boss of Jiangzhou calling. Don't be surprised, even the second boss of Jiangzhou couldn't contact Chen Xiao directly, he could only contact his assistant Zhang Ziqian.

The second boss said that a Chinese who had returned from South Africa asked him to introduce him to visit General Manager Chen. He asked if it was convenient.

A Chinese returnee from South Africa, surnamed Zhang? This is too much of a coincidence, so Zhang Ziqian immediately called Chen Xiao to report this.

"Have him come to my office tomorrow morning—"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao said to Qiu Qiaoqiao, "You were right. That South African tycoon is coming to my office tomorrow. Why don't you come along?"

Qiu Qiaoqiao nodded and poured wine into Chen Xiao's glass.

Chen Xiao raised his glass and clinked it against hers, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Why are you two suddenly acting so awkward?"

Ever since Qiu Qiaoqiao arrived, Miaomiao and Lanlan have been acting rather awkwardly. Chen Xiao initially thought it was because Qiu Qiaoqiao was exceptionally beautiful and had stolen their thunder. But instead of jealousy, they seemed rather afraid. (End of Chapter)
