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

Zhao Hui was somewhat distracted because of his son's situation.

The whole evening was kept lively thanks to Liu Haoran. He hadn't seen President Chen for a while and had a lot to say, so he just had to get it off his chest—

"Mr. Chen, the recent openings of [Star Palace] stores have been quite successful. Our next plan is to open three more stores simultaneously."

In the early stages, the stores will mainly be located in our own Junxiaocheng project. The timing and location are controllable. From the very beginning of planning this brand, the order of priority has been arranged. What Liu Haoran mentioned is just the execution of the plan.

He thought it was because the [Starry Night] brand had been doing well recently, but little did he know that this was all part of the plan.

Although [Starry Night] is also under the Yinuo Group, from its inception, Chen Xiao required that Zhang Shijie's luxury brand must be operated by a new team independent of the existing brands within the Yinuo Group. Therefore, Liu Haoran occasionally assisted when opening the store in the early stages, but as the [Starry Night] team became more mature, Liu Haoran's involvement decreased.

Liu Haoran is currently living a relatively comfortable life at the Yinuo Group. As a regional manager with staff at headquarters, he oversees well-established regions. The only region that previously had some issues, Shanghai, has turned a profit after Gu Wen took over, thanks to the combined resources of the Yinuo Group and Junxiao Commercial Management Group, and is showing strong momentum. He usually arrives at the company around 10 AM to handle some work, and then spends the afternoons meeting clients or friends from service providers for tea.

"Old Liu, do you want to go back to Jiangzhou?"

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Liu Haoran immediately understood and replied without hesitation, "I will do whatever President Chen asks me to do."

He was a simpleton, understanding that as long as he did what General Manager Chen arranged, wouldn't he become one of General Manager Chen's people?
Chen Xiao laughed and clinked glasses with him, quite liking Liu Haoran's personality. It was a sudden thought; the Yinuo Group was already very mature, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference. Leaving the Yinuo Group would make room for someone else.

"For Junxiao Supermarket, Han Xue needs a channel development manager. The future Junxiao Supermarket won't just be located in the basement of Junxiao City or Junxiao Plaza. We'll also be building a separate supermarket exceeding 5 square meters. We need someone trustworthy who can accurately understand Han Xue and my ideas for this role. How about it, are you interested?"

Liu Haoran stood up excitedly, raised his glass with both hands to toast Chen Xiao: "I'm willing, thank you for your trust, Mr. Chen."

Liu Haoran had studied Junxiao Supermarket. President Chen was determined to grow this business to a scale of over 100 billion yuan, and now, in its initial stage, was undoubtedly the best time to get him involved. If he managed to do well as the channel manager, he could become the vice president of Junxiao Supermarket in the future, a position within the Junxiao Group not much different from Zhao Hui's current one.

Of course, Zhao Hui is President Chen's brother-in-law and the future chairman of the Junxiao Plaza system, a position he can't compare to. But compared to his current role as regional manager and vice president of the Yinuo Group, Zhao Hui carries much more weight. More importantly, being in Jiangzhou gives him more opportunities to meet President Chen.

"You can go back and think it over carefully, there's no need to rush. If you really don't want to come, that's okay too—"

"President Chen, I'm willing, I'm very willing—" Liu Haoran hurriedly expressed his opinion, almost crying. How could he not be willing? He wasn't stupid.

Mr. Wu looked at Liu Haoran with envy; he had really hit the jackpot with this meal. His development over the past six months under Zhao Hui's guidance clearly demonstrated that choice is more important than effort; in the workplace, following the right person is truly crucial.

The energy of the people you work with determines the upper limit of your development. At Inno Group, if you work with the regional manager, you have a good chance of becoming a regional general manager; but if you work with a regional general manager, you'll at most be a department head, that's the maximum you can go.

Junxiao Supermarket is still directly managed by Mr. Chen's woman, Zhao Xiangjun. This is different from Yinuo Group, although Yinuo Group is still Zhao Xiangjun's business. However, Mr. Zhao has too many businesses, including the entire Junxiao Group. In everyone's eyes, Yinuo Group certainly doesn't hold much weight with Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhao.

Actually, they were mistaken. The Ino Group was extremely important to Chen Xiao because its dividends were Xiang Jun's source of income. And the funds Xiang Jun used to spend on the "Opposite-sex Blessing Fund" came from this.

Furthermore, with Chen Xiao establishing the luxury brand "Starry Night," the Inno Group remains quite important. However, since the management isn't from the Chen family, it's perceived by outsiders as a position where the company is neglected and unloved.

Since Liu Haoran was willing, Chen Xiao told him not to leave for the next few days, because Han Xue had returned to Jiangzhou and was waiting for her mother to have time so she could go home to see her mother-in-law. Liu Haoran could go see her again after this matter was settled.

Zhang Shijie's situation is manageable. Liu Haoran's departure won't have a significant impact. Each region has its own regional manager, so the absence of a regional manager for the time being won't have a major impact.

Seeing that Zhao Hui was eager to go home after a night of waiting, Chen Xiao arranged for Liu Haoran and President Wu to stay at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel before returning to Xishan Linyu.

When Chen Xiao got home and heard what had happened that day, he was speechless. The other parents were so inconsiderate. But thankfully, they said they would come to apologize tomorrow. He'd see if Zhao Hui was willing to meet them then.

Zhao Xiangjun didn't mention that the other party's assistant had called Shen Yun an "old woman." When she returned, Shen Yun had already discussed it with her and agreed not to bring it up, otherwise Chen Xiao would lose his temper again.

The next morning, since Zhao Hui had returned, Chen Xiao didn't go to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center and instead asked Zhao Hui to come over for a chat. Shen Yun and Chen Tao arrived; it was too late the night before for Zhao Hui to come, so he came early this morning.

"Yesterday, Zhao Yan's homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang, said he would come for a home visit today, but I ignored him. He Qing has already had someone call to arrange for Zhao Yan to be transferred to the 'Advanced Class'—"

Zhao Hui had been angry ever since he learned the whole story yesterday. It was his son who was being "bullied" at school. What father wouldn't be angry, especially when his son was injured?

Adding to the fact that his sister and Shen Jun went yesterday, and the other parents refused to apologize, Zhao Hui found their attitude even more unacceptable. He has already arranged for someone to find out who Li Zichen's parents are. He can forgive a child for being ignorant; but adults being ignorant is truly despicable—

Jiangzhou No.1 Middle School
Teacher Wang came to the school again today. Li Zichen's parents will come to pick him up and take him to Xishan Linyu.

Mr. Li didn't expect Zhao Yan's aunt to be so strong-willed. She simply refused to answer Teacher Wang's calls or reply to her messages. This woman probably hasn't suffered any losses in society.

"Teacher Wang, get in the car." Mr. Li didn't think much of Teacher Wang, but considering that his child was in his class and needed his care, and that Teacher Wang was quite accommodating and often tried to curry favor with him, Mr. Li was a little more polite to him.

hum-

Just as Teacher Wang was about to get on the bus, her phone rang. She was about to hang up, but after glancing at it, she quickly said to General Manager Li, "It's the principal calling, I'll answer it."

Mr. Li nodded, rolled up the car window. It was sweltering outside, and he certainly wouldn't wait for Teacher Wang with the window open. He liked to bask in the sun, so he'd take the call under the blazing sun.

When Teacher Wang heard what the principal said, he was dumbfounded. Transferring Zhao Yan to the "Advanced Class"? Wasn't that a bit ridiculous? Zhao Yan's grades were only average in his own class. What qualifications did such a student have to go to the "Advanced Class"? Wasn't the principal afraid of being complained about?
He voiced his concerns, but the principal replied, "Anyone with objections can voice them. As long as they can donate 500 million to the school, I'll arrange for them to be included." Huh? 500 million in donations? Teacher Wang recalled that the Junxiao Charity Foundation had recently donated 500 million worth of experimental equipment to the school. Zhao Yan's family actually had connections with the Junxiao Charity Foundation—that was incredibly impressive. Although he didn't know which high-ranking official at the Junxiao Charity Foundation his family was connected to, just being even remotely related was far more powerful than President Li.

How can we give up on such a student? We must visit their home; we absolutely must visit their home and try to retain them.

“Principal, I’m going to make a home visit today. I still hope that Zhao Yan can stay in our class. I don’t want to give up such an excellent student in both character and academics.”

"Stop talking nonsense! You've never mentioned this student before. Now that the Junxiao Charity Foundation has spoken to them, you're not releasing him? Fine, I'll let you go—"

"I... I'll try to persuade them today and give it another shot."

After a moment of silence, the principal said, "I heard that Zhao Yan was injured at school. How about this, give me Zhao Yan's home address, and I will go and express my condolences on behalf of the school."

After agreeing, Teacher Wang sent the address to the principal while cursing under her breath, "We're all sycophants, what gives you the right to look down on me?"

After getting into the car, Mr. Li nodded and said to the driver, "To No. 88, Xishan Linyu."

Teacher Wang glanced at Assistant Liu in the passenger seat and thought to himself, "What's this guy doing here? I hope he doesn't provoke someone else's anger again."

Coincidentally, Mr. Li's phone rang at that moment.

The call was from General Manager Liu, who apologized to General Manager Li. He explained that he and General Manager Zhang got so excited talking about the project last night that they couldn't control themselves and ended up having a few drinks, resulting in both of them drinking too much.

Damn, even a brainless short drama wouldn't dare to be filmed like this. Are there really people like this?

"It's alright, Mr. Liu. I have some things to take care of today, I'll meet you later. Coincidentally, I also have some fine wines in my collection, please have a taste."

He had no choice but to take their money; otherwise, he wouldn't want to talk to such an idiot. What a piece of trash, he drank himself into the hospital.

After hanging up the phone, he said to his assistant Liu in front of him, "Is the business plan ready? This time we're launching a comprehensive strategic cooperation with Junxiao Business Management. Once the news gets out, there will be no shortage of people offering money. As for this Mr. Zhang, we'll see if he's sincere enough."

Assistant Liu quickly flattered, "That's right, it would be even more perfect if we could get a strategic cooperation agreement, which would make it even more convincing."

Mr. Li smiled faintly: "One must take things one step at a time. Mr. Zhao, the vice president of Junxiao Commercial Management, has also returned to Jiangzhou these past two days. I'll make time to invite him out for a couple of drinks."

Such a towering mountain, so incredibly majestic!

Just moments ago, Teacher Wang was astonished that Zhao Yan's family had managed to establish connections with the Junxiao Charity Foundation, placing Zhao Yan on a pedestal. Now, in the blink of an eye, this Mr. Li is about to enter into a strategic partnership with Junxiao Business Management.

Sigh, I'm surrounded by geniuses. My class is truly a treasure trove. If I can help the Zhao and Li families reconcile today, and then persuade the Zhao family not to switch classes, as long as I maintain good relations between these two families, I'll have no trouble achieving great success.

"Teacher Wang, are you still unable to contact them?"

Mr. Li was somewhat dissatisfied. He had come in person, yet the other party didn't reply to his messages or answer his calls. The key point was that he was Zhao Yan's relative, not his parents. What right did he have to make decisions for them?

Teacher Wang chuckled twice: "Zhao Yan's aunt is quite a character—" He glanced at Assistant Liu in front of him, not mentioning that the guy had offended the other party, otherwise Assistant Liu would be punished and would definitely speak ill of him to President Li in the future, which would not be conducive to maintaining his relationship with the Li family.

On the contrary, since he did not betray Assistant Liu, Assistant Liu would definitely speak well of him, because he had something on Assistant Liu's mind.

"Personality? That's just willfulness. When I meet Zhao Yan's parents later, I'm going to have a good talk with them. Don't say we didn't show up; they didn't show up either, and they even brought over an immature little sister. We're all in the same boat, so no one should criticize anyone else."

Assistant Liu glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror and noticed that after meeting with General Manager Zhao, the vice president and regional manager of Junxiao Commercial Management, in Ningxi, his boss's ego had risen, and he now looked down on many people he used to value.

When the car arrived at Xishan Linyu, Mr. Li looked at the perimeter of the community through the car window and said, "It truly lives up to its reputation as the most upscale community in Jiangzhou. After the year-end dividends are distributed, I might consider buying another unit here."

Teacher Wang laughed and said, "This is a luxury mansion; only someone like you, Mr. Li, could afford to consider such a place. Someone like me wouldn't even dare to dream of it—"

Mr. Li glanced at him, smiled faintly, his expression full of contempt. What is this thing that dares to compare itself to me?
He was thinking about how to build rapport when he met Zhao Yan's parents. They were clearly quite wealthy, so he could mention General Manager Zhao of Junxiao Commercial Management; the name of anyone from Junxiao Group was always useful. He noticed that General Manager Zhang, who had been so arrogant before, immediately bowed his head after learning of the strategic partnership with General Manager Zhao.

When the car arrived at the entrance to the residential complex, since it wasn't a car belonging to this complex, a young and handsome security guard jogged over and asked the driver of the Alphard, "What can I do for you?"

The driver said, "We'll take you to number 88 in the residential complex—"

Upon hearing the address, the driver noticed the security guard immediately stand at attention and solemnly ask, "Do you have an appointment?"

The driver was exasperated; that's the annoying thing about upscale residential areas—you can't get in without an appointment.

At this moment, Mr. Li said from behind, "Could you help me call the homeowner and ask if we've come to apologize because of the child's situation—" (End of Chapter)
