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

Jia Hao and Liu Li exchanged a glance; they had been scrambling to buy tickets to Lee Ji-eun's concert for the past two days.

But tickets for the second row of the inner section are unthinkable. These tickets are simply not available to ordinary people. Scalpers could sell them for over 10 yuan.

They were already considering whether to resell it and make a profit. A few tickets were all it took to bring home a luxury new energy vehicle.

However, after hearing that Shen Yun was also going, they gave up the idea, not wanting to anger the Chen family, which would be a loss for them.

They could both see that Feng Ting was trying her best to please Shen Yun, which was something they were happy to see. If they could use this relationship to get some help from Chen Xiao, their lives would take off.

Liu Li nudged Jia Hao, signaling him to stop being so stubborn. Teacher Shen said it was a family dinner, everyone could do as they pleased, but was it really that casual? This was such a great opportunity to get closer to him!
Startled by the kick, Jia Hao immediately understood. He took a deep breath, picked up the expensive 50-year-old Moutai in front of him, and instantly forced the most enthusiastic and sincere smile onto his face. He pulled Liu Li, who was also putting on a fake smile, and the couple, like a pair of well-trained social butterflies, walked towards the head of the table with their glasses in hand.

"Aunt Shen, Chen Xiao, no, President Chen, President Han, President Zhao..." Jia Hao's voice carried a deliberate familiarity and respect as he called out each name, his posture extremely humble. "Today, thanks to Aunt Shen, we are able to eat such authentic Jiangzhou cuisine and gather with everyone! My husband and I would like to toast everyone! We wish you all good health and all the best!" Liu Li nodded repeatedly from the side, her smile sweet.

Shen Jun smiled and raised his glass in response. Han Xue, Zhao Xiangjun, and the others also politely raised their glasses. Chen Xiao lazily picked up his glass, a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes seemed unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.

After toasting everyone, Jia Hao and Liu Li returned to their seats. The smile on Jia Hao's face instantly vanished, replaced by an indescribable sense of loss and frustration.

"What's wrong?" Liu Li asked in a low voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction. "Why do you look like a wilted eggplant?"

He lowered his voice, his tone tinged with confusion and a hint of grievance: "I don't know what's going on... I feel... I feel that Chen Xiao... was very polite to me, but also very... perfunctory." He tried hard to recall Chen Xiao's expression and eyes just now, "There was absolutely no... that feeling of reuniting with an old friend from childhood! It was like... like dealing with an insignificant stranger!"

He's overthinking things, or rather, he's taking himself too seriously.

Chen Xiao didn't have a very good impression of him to begin with. Zhao Xiangjun had mentioned it to him during a casual chat when they were at Junxiao Square in Laiwu. Although everyone has a competitive spirit, Chen Xiao still disliked his snobbish and materialistic attitude.

Today's so-called "family dinner" was purely because Chen Xiao's mother, Shen Jun, invited Feng Ting's family out of consideration for their old colleague relationship. Chen Xiao was only sitting here out of respect for his mother. Otherwise, with his time and energy, how could he possibly waste it dealing with Jia Hao, a former neighbor who is now only interested in self-interest and calculation?
Qin Ning and Xie Xiaoxiao followed suit and took the opportunity to play a round.

It's worth mentioning that everyone present could clearly sense that Zhao Xiangjun and Zhang Ziqian were noticeably closer to Xie Xiaoxiao, which inevitably made Qin Ning feel a little resentful. However, it was her own fault for misjudging him back then, unlike Xie Xiaoxiao, who had mistaken Chen Xiao for an assistant and thus befriended him.

When Qin Ning presented the glass to Chen Xiao, she put on a serious face, smiling sweetly and speaking respectfully with words of blessing and thanks. Chen Xiao merely raised his glass in a perfunctory manner.

When it was Xie Xiaoxiao's turn, Chen Xiao leaned slightly forward and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, quickly said, "You've run out of gold coins again..." His tone was a matter-of-fact "reminder."

Xie Xiaoxiao's smile vanished instantly, like a punctured balloon. She replied in a muffled, resigned voice, "I...I understand...I'll take care of it when we get back..."

This man is deliberately bullying her. With his wealth, why would he need to "extort" her? This is clearly the "wicked taste" of a rich person.

After returning from toasting everyone, Qin Ning noticed Xie Xiaoxiao's somewhat listless appearance and assumed she was tired. So, she picked up her glass and said, "Come on, Xiaoxiao, let's have a drink together and relax."

"Let's not drink anymore, I need to stay sober."

Qin Ning was puzzled. "Why do you need to stay awake when we get back to the hotel?"

With a mournful face, Xie Xiaoxiao uttered a few words with a look of utter despair: "I want to do live streaming... I want to make money..." Her tone was filled with the tragic grandeur of being oppressed by life.

"..." Qin Ning was completely dumbfounded, staring at Xie Xiaoxiao as if she were an alien. This was utterly mind-blowing! The Xie Xiaoxiao she knew before, while she loved beauty and having fun, was definitely not this "money-grubbing" or this "workaholic"! What's wrong with her lately? Has she encountered some insurmountable obstacle? Does she desperately need money to save her life? Or... has she secretly lost everything in the stock market?
After dinner, the group went downstairs together. In the underground parking lot, Jia Hao and Liu Li had just stepped out of the elevator when they were once again so shocked by the scene before them that their souls left their bodies!

The convoy I saw outside Junxiao City this afternoon was already impressive. But the spectacle parked here in this exclusive VIP area truly defines what "top-tier pomp" means!
Three gleaming black Rolls-Royce Phantoms, resembling mobile palaces, stood silently like black diamonds! The Maybach I'd seen that afternoon, heavily modified and exuding an aura of majesty, was, of course, also among them!
Surrounding them were more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz GLS 600s, like steel fortresses! Their massive bodies, uniform black paint, and imposing aura almost completely dominated the spacious underground space!
There were only six GLSs in the afternoon, but now there are six more! The entire convoy has doubled in size, like a black steel torrent ready to go, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression!

Although they had already witnessed it once that afternoon, seeing this doubled lineup up close in the closed parking lot was visually devastating! Jia Hao felt his legs go weak, and Liu Li instinctively gripped her husband's arm tightly.

Not wanting to disrupt public order, Shen Yun greeted everyone with Chen Xiao and the others before they got into their cars separately.

Chen Xiao waved casually as a farewell. But when his gaze swept over Xie Xiaoxiao, he seemed to suddenly remember something, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips. He deliberately waved his phone at her, silently mouthing something.

Qin Ning whispered, "Is he interested in you? He's so blatantly trying to seduce you, and all his women are still here."

Xie Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke, and said fiercely, "He's after my money—"

Qin Ning was taken aback: "Are you kidding me? The boss of Junxiao Group is after Xie Xiaoxiao's money?"
Although being a car model, especially a top-tier car model, earns countless times more than the average person, what does this amount of money mean to someone like Chen Xiao?
"I can't laugh, I'm leaving, I'm going back to livestreaming." Xie Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Feng Ting's family and walked listlessly toward Qin Ning's Range Rover.

Qin Ning stared blankly at Xie Xiaoxiao, wondering why she didn't appreciate her good fortune. If President Chen were to seduce her like that, she'd be ready to shower herself and go straight to his bed tonight. She caught up with her in a few steps. "Hey, I'm telling you... stop pretending! I saw the lip movements he just made," she mimicked Chen Xiaoxiao's gesture, silently pouting at the air, then lowered her voice, a knowing smile playing on her lips, "Don't think I don't know what he was saying!"

Xie Xiaoxiao felt utterly hopeless. "So you understood it too."

Qin Ning glanced at her enviously, "Xiaoxiao, this is a great thing! So many people wouldn't even dream of this."

Xie Xiaoxiao opened the passenger door of the Land Rover, got in, and said to Qin Ning, who was already in the driver's seat, "You're the one who's joking. Who would want to go bankrupt like this?" She doesn't know how hard it is for her to earn money, and now he's ruining it for her. She doesn't know when he'll stop.

"Bankruptcy?!" Qin Ning was completely stunned, and almost slipped off the steering wheel. "How could you go bankrupt?! You're about to strike it rich, okay?! You're going to be rich overnight, sister!" She couldn't understand Xie Xiaoxiao's pessimistic logic at all.

Xie Xiaoxiao was taken aback, finally realizing that the two seemed to be on completely different wavelengths! She sat up abruptly, staring at Qin Ning with suspicion and uncertainty: "Wait...didn't you read his lips and know what he was saying?"

Qin Ning, a young woman, spoke boldly, especially since they were in the car. She chuckled and said, "Of course I understood; he meant 'JB'."

Thunder rumbled—

Xie Xiaoxiao was so shocked she was speechless, her mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg!
Hey lady! What kind of lewd nonsense is going on in your head?!
Chen Xiao was talking about "gold coins"! Gold coins! Game gold coins!!!

That deranged guy was reminding me to top up his game currency! He wasn't trying to have any inappropriate sexual activity with me!!
This thought process... it's so bizarre it's beyond belief!

Xie Xiaoxiao felt that her values ​​had been shattered at this moment!

"Qin Ning! You filthy devil!!" Xie Xiaoxiao let out a hysterical scream, covering her burning face with her hands, wishing she could jump out of the car immediately and escape this bizarre and misunderstanding-ridden carriage. "He clearly said 'gold coins'! Game gold coins! You mentally unstable bastard! I'm breaking up with you!!!"

Qin Ning was taken aback by Xie Xiaoxiao's sudden scream and accusation. Then, seeing Xie Xiaoxiao's ashamed and indignant expression, as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, and combined with the completely unexpected answer of "gold coins"...

"Pfft, hahahahahahaha—!!!"

A deafening roar of laughter instantly filled the Land Rover's cabin! Qin Ning laughed so hard she was doubled over, tears streaming down her face! She pounded the steering wheel frantically, shouting breathlessly:

"Gold... gold coins?! Hahahaha... game gold coins?! My God! He... he's a trillionaire... chasing after you for... game gold coins?! Hahahaha... President Chen... President Chen... hahahaha... is he really this down-to-earth?!"

Amid Qin Ning's out-of-control laughter and Xie Xiaoxiao's angry roars, the Range Rover wobbled out of the underground parking garage and merged into the dazzling yet cold night of Jiangzhou.

Inside the car, one woman laughed like a madwoman, while the other was as embarrassed and angry as a boiled shrimp. Chen Xiao's "intentions" became even more elusive in this epic misunderstanding.

Back at the hotel, Xie Xiaoxiao obediently recharged Chen Xiao's account with another 300 million gold coins. Then, she checked her bank account and found that she had lost another 30 Chinese yuan, which made her "heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe."

She took a deep breath, mustered her spirits, took out her professional live-streaming equipment, and neatly set up the ring light, microphone, and sound card in the small office area of ​​the suite, ready to start tonight's "performing to pay off debts".

Just as she was fixing her hair in front of the mirror, getting herself ready, and about to press the start button—

"Knock, knock, knock." The door was knocked, then pushed open a crack, and Qin Ning's face, filled with inquiry and a hint of inexplicable excitement, peeked in.

"Xiaoxiao? Are you busy?" Qin Ning pushed open the door and entered, his gaze sweeping over Xiaoxiao's professional live streaming equipment. His eyes flickered for a moment, then he asked casually, "Hey, which server is your game on? Tell me, I want to register an account and try it out!"

Just as they were about to start the live stream, Qin Ning came over: "Xiaoxiao, which server are you on? I want to register an account and try it out too—"

Xie Xiaoxiao abruptly stopped tidying her hair, staring at Qin Ning with a look of utter disbelief. "No way? Qin Ning?!" Her eyes widened in disbelief. "Didn't you hate playing games the most? You said it was a waste of time, and that you should use that time to get more beauty sleep or study how to take great photos?" Xie Xiaoxiao was straightforward and oblivious, and at that moment she didn't think much of it, only feeling that Qin Ning's actions were completely out of the blue.

Qin Ning, on the other hand, was a shrewd shrew who wished she had eight hundred schemes in her body. At this moment, her mind was racing with calculations: Was Chen Xiao addicted to this game? Did Xie Xiaoxiao have a special "connection" with Chen Xiao because of this game?

Then this game... isn't it a natural bridge to get closer to President Chen? Even if we can't get close to President Chen, it's good to know more about his "hobbies"!
Faced with Xie Xiaoxiao's questioning, Qin Ning immediately flashed an impeccable smile, tinged with "sisterly affection," and readily offered her reason: "Oh, I'm just bored on vacation, so I'm looking for something to do. Besides," she changed her tone, becoming exceptionally "sincere," "this is a game endorsed by my Xiaoxiao! A good best friend has to support her! I definitely have to go in and lend a hand, boosting the popularity!"

"Support them?!"

These two words struck Xie Xiaoxiao's fragile nerves like a bolt of lightning!
"Ah—!" Xie Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she jumped up from her chair.
Xie Xiaoxiao's face paled. "Qin Ning, let's make this clear first, I can't give you any resources." (End of Chapter)
