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

Back when Teacher Qin resigned, none of us had cell phones yet.

As a result, Teacher Qin never returned to Laiwu and could no longer be contacted.

Qin Yun's grandparents passed away early, and after they moved to Jiangzhou, they rarely returned to Laiwu. Even when they did go back, they went directly to their old home in the countryside.

Shen Yun was later transferred to Laiwu No. 1 Middle School, and they lost contact after that.

Chen Xiao and Qin Yun exchanged a glance, wondering what kind of fate had brought them together.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tao and Qin Yun's father, Qin Wangdong, were also drinking buddies.

Shen Yun asked Qin Yun to send her Qin Wangdong's phone number, and later she arranged to meet with Chen Tao and Qin Wangdong.

Hearing Qin Yun say that Qin Wangdong and his wife were not in good health, she was a little surprised: "Teacher Qin used to be a person who liked to exercise a lot, how could his health not be good?"

Qin Yun looked at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"I'm much better lately; I was a bit depressed before."

Chen Xiao recalled what Qin Yun had mentioned before: her father had apparently suffered business failures, leaving him disheartened. It was because of this that Qin Yun resigned from her job to start her own business, hoping to fulfill her father's wishes through her own efforts.

However, if it weren't for Chen Xiao's help, Qin Yun, that reckless daring, would probably have suffered a terrible loss. At that time, Qin Wangdong and his wife's depression would likely have been completely incurable—

No wonder Qin Yun always looked so grateful to him, almost wanting to repay him with her body, ever since he helped her out of her predicament. It turned out that saving her company was almost equivalent to saving her parents' lives.

Because Qin Yun was the daughter of an old friend and had a close relationship with Chen Xiao, Shen Jun liked her even more and kept putting food on her plate throughout the meal.

Qin Yun has a small appetite and was very worried about the food Shen Jun put on her plate. This amount of food alone was the same as what she would normally eat for three meals.

Refusing is out of the question; she's Chen Xiao's mother, and also my elder. But if I eat it, my stomach won't allow it.

She ate slowly, glancing at Chen Xiao. Only this older brother could save her now. However, to her utter dismay, Chen Xiao not only didn't help, but he was also secretly laughing.

"Who is it?" Qin Yun was furious. She picked up a piece of Mapo Tofu and chewed it fiercely, as if it were Chen Xiao's flesh. "I'll bite you to death—"

"Mom, please stop putting that in your plate—girls don't have that much appetite."

"Sister Xiangjun, you truly deserve to be called a fairy!" Qin Yun looked at Zhao Xiangjun, who spoke up for justice, and almost shed tears of emotion.

"Oh dear, look at me, I've gotten into the habit of picking up food with my chopsticks. Xiaoyun, if you can't eat, don't force yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Shen," Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

While Shen Yun was eating, she sent a message to Chen Tao about Qin Wangdong's situation and also transferred the phone call to Chen Tao.

Just as they finished eating, Shen Jun received a call from Chen Tao, who said he had been talking to Qin Wangdong on the phone for a long time and that they definitely needed to organize a get-together in the next couple of days.

Shen Jun thought for a moment, "Aren't we going to a concert tomorrow night? Feng Ting's family is going too, and we can invite Teacher Qin's family along as well, so we can have dinner together."

Feng Ting and Qin Wangdong knew each other, and this arrangement was made in case they didn't have time later.

Although there's a long summer vacation, Shen Jun and her friends have so many daughters-in-law to meet, their schedule is packed.

Qin Wangdong and his wife are now retired. They had previously suffered from depression due to business problems. Now, their daughter is doing very well; her new company, established less than three months ago, has already far surpassed Qin Wangdong's business performance in his early years.

Lately, I've been telling my spouse that I'm not cut out for business, but I'm exceptional at raising the next generation. My daughter is so well-educated; she seems like a business prodigy. This has really helped alleviate my depression.

My old friend came to Jiangzhou and invited me to a concert, which I readily agreed to.

Besides, that's Lee Ji-eun's concert. I heard the tickets are incredibly expensive and impossible to buy.

Sure enough, Qin Yun received a message from her father: "Xiao Yun, your Uncle Chen and Aunt Shen want us to go to a concert tomorrow night. Make sure you arrange your work in advance. Hmm, it's Lee Ji-eun's concert. You know, even though your Uncle Chen and Aunt Shen aren't as well-off as you, they really have some connections. They managed to get tickets to Lee Ji-eun's concert, and so many of them."

Qin Yun felt ashamed. She was better off financially than the Chen family? How could you tell? Even a single hair from theirs was thicker than her thigh!
When I get home tonight, I need to give my father a proper introduction to the Chen family's situation. It would be ridiculous if I showed off my wealth in front of Uncle Chen and Aunt Shen.
In the afternoon, Shen Yun took Zhao Xiangjun back to Xishan Linyu.

Originally, we planned to spend a day at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, but Zhao Xiangjun was experiencing some morning sickness. Seeing that she wasn't feeling well, everyone became anxious and decided to go home, where there would be dedicated medical staff to put our minds at ease.

Chen Xiao and Zhang Ziqian went to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center.
"The Junxing M8 has been officially launched, and the number of orders placed within 24 hours has exceeded 1.5 units, which is better than expected."

The Junxing M8, positioned as a large luxury SUV by Junxing Auto, is its flagship product this year. It also further validates the market's recognition of Junxing Auto's luxury brand attributes.

In China's new energy vehicle market, going high-end is not an easy path; once the price exceeds 40 yuan, it becomes quite difficult.

Currently, Wenjie is the best in this field, and it has absolute dominance in the 40-60 range.

The Junxing M8 is priced between 35 and 45 yuan this time, just to test the waters. If it can be accepted by consumers in this range, then the Junxing M9 at the end of the year may be able to compete with the Wenjie M9.

However, Junxing Auto's pricing still follows the principle of being about 2 yuan cheaper than the HarmonyOS Smart Choice model with the same configuration. After all, its brand appeal is still weaker than the other party's for the time being.

However, compared to other brands in the market, Junxing Auto now has a certain advantage. This is all thanks to Junxing's intelligent R&D center's recent announcement of an annual investment of 100 billion yuan, instantly giving Junxing Auto a technological edge. Coupled with the backing of Junxiao Group, consumer trust in the brand is further strengthened.

Of course, even more important is the reputation of the Junxing M7. Since its delivery, it has received rave reviews, with a net promoter score of 86%. Almost every Junxing M7 owner recommends the car to a friend, and a sale is made.

After word-of-mouth marketing took hold, the Junxing M7 maintained orders of over 1.5 units per month even after its initial sales period. This stable influx of new orders ensures that the Junxing M7's steady monthly deliveries remain above 2.5, ranking second in the entire new energy luxury SUV market.

The Ruishi N7L, touted as a "fierce tiger descending the mountain," sold only 350 units last week, a fraction of the sales of the Junxing M7. And even that, many of those sales were reportedly from dealer inventory; you can imagine how dismal the sales were.

"Then Yuting and the others can breathe a sigh of relief. I heard they were so worried about sales recently that they even had insomnia?"

Chen Xiao held his teacup, admiring the bright tea liquor, and said something along the way.

Zhang Ziqian chuckled: "That's not because of sales figures, but because I'm nervous about meeting my mother-in-law soon."

Chen Xiao picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. "Really? So pathetic? Back when I was a car model, I was a public figure. What haven't I seen?"

Looking at the calendar on her wristwatch, she asked, "She's going back to Jiangzhou the day after tomorrow, right?" Zhang Ziqian continued to refill his cup. "Yes, Xie Xiaoxiao and Qin Ning are also waiting for her to come back, but I don't think Yuting will have time to see them."

He waved his hand and said, "She's not that busy. She's not the general manager. Sigh, these women are all destined to be overworked. They don't know how to enjoy their good fortune."

Zhang Ziqian covered her mouth and chuckled. Chen Xiao had complained about this more than once. For example, Gao Yue and Lin Ya, they were all like workaholics.

"How has Xiao Yulong been performing lately?"

When Xiao Yuting last came to Jiangzhou, her younger brother arranged for her to work at Junxing Motors. Although he didn't pay as much attention to Zhao Hui as he did to his brothers-in-law, he would still check on them occasionally.

"She's working very hard, saying she can't let her brother-in-law down."

Chen Xiao shook his head. "Is this guy being so blatant in his flattery? Is he saying this on purpose for me to hear?"

Zhang Ziqian smiled, her meaning unspoken. If she hadn't deliberately said it for him to hear, it wouldn't have reached him in the first place—

"Ziqian, keep track of the progress of the land reclamation and island building. We need to speed up the construction of the Chen residence so that it can be done simultaneously."

"Yes, I've already prioritized this project. The first phase, covering this 10-square-kilometer island, will definitely be completed within six months. The core area of ​​the Chen residence will be constructed simultaneously once the necessary conditions are met—"

“Using a cutter suction dredger is still very fast, capable of filling 4500 cubic meters of sand per hour (equivalent to piling up a football field 1 meter high), which is more than 20 times more efficient than the traditional method.”

Chen Xiao nodded. The Chen residence was built in the style of Suzhou gardens, covering a total area of ​​1500 square meters, and the entire construction period was three years.

The island will eventually cover 100 square kilometers and is planned to be completed in 5 years.

He was in a hurry to complete the main building of the Chen residence because he wanted to hold his wedding ceremony there with Xiangjun. He didn't tell anyone, but Zhang Ziqian understood that he wanted to have the ceremony there before Xiangjun gave birth.

Chen Xiao pulled Zhang Ziqian close and, before she could react, gave her a quick kiss. His chief secretary understood him so well. She knew exactly what to focus on and follow up on many things without him even needing to explain.

When he needed to know the situation, Zhang Ziqian reported the progress of these projects and the planned completion time one by one, which pleased him greatly.

ah--

Zhang Ziqian wasn't shy; she was just startled when he suddenly pulled her over.

Just when she thought Chen Xiao was going to sleep with her today, he stood up and said, "Xiao Yulong is the store manager of Junxing Auto Sales Terminal at Junxiao Plaza Second Store, right? Let's go check it out—"

He felt he couldn't be too biased; he cared less about Zhao Hui than all his other brothers-in-law combined.

Even if it's just for show, I have to go. Otherwise, the other women might not say anything, but they'd probably feel uncomfortable inside.

Junxiao Plaza Store 2 was the first project where Lin Ya served as general manager, and the remaining staff are all her original team. She continued to manage the project according to her established practices, and with the financial support from Junxiao Commercial Management, the overall customer traffic for this project has increased by as much as 20%.

On the way, after listening to Zhang Ziqian's report on the project, Chen Xiao asked about several other projects and found that they had all seen varying degrees of price increases.

"That's strange. Isn't the economy in a downturn right now? Logically, there should be fewer people shopping, so why is everything going up? Where are these customers coming from?"

Zhang Ziqian smiled gently, took out her tablet, and looked through her previous notes:

"Our stores in the provincial capital are second-highest level brands, attracting consumers from prefecture-level cities to shop in the provincial capital; our projects in prefecture-level cities, in turn, attract shoppers from the counties below. As for what to do with the counties, well, they can only hope for the best."

Chen Xiao smiled but didn't say anything.

The current Junxiao Plaza is all acquired, with adjustments made only to brand level and marketing methods; major changes to the hardware are not possible. Imagine the grandeur of the second-generation Junxiao Plaza, a super urban complex, once it's completed.

This siphon effect will likely stifle those community commercial districts, forcing them to differentiate themselves from Junxiao Commercial Management in terms of brand positioning. Since Junxiao Plaza has a diverse range of retail formats, they should focus more on experiential offerings.

Business competition is brutal and frustrating; big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp, and resources are increasingly concentrated at the top.

Junxing Auto's sales terminal is located within its own commercial complex, so it must have a prime location. Chen Xiao had brought Zhao Xiangjun here when the store first opened, so he naturally remembered its approximate location.

As they approached, Zhang Ziqian exclaimed, "Eh? It's not the weekend, and this is the afternoon when there are usually the fewest customers, yet the shops are already packed!"

Chen Xiao was also puzzled. No matter how well Junxing cars sold, it shouldn't be that customers surrounded the store three layers deep, right?

Besides, if we're talking about the experience, the user experience center is definitely the place to go. Shopping mall stores are mainly for increasing exposure; for customers wanting to test drive, the user center is much more convenient.

"Let's go check it out. Something must have happened."

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that there appeared to be some kind of argument inside the store, while the onlookers outside were merely spectators.

"Oh dear, this delivery guy is so pitiful."

"What's there to pity? After finishing your delivery, why aren't you rushing to the next order? What are you doing sitting in the car trying to get a ride?"

"Hey, didn't he say that he really likes Junxiao Group, so he has a special fondness for Junxing Motors? It's a pity he can't afford to buy one, but he can at least come up and take a look and try it out."

"It's possible, but it was his carelessness. He caused such a huge loss; what can we do?"

Zhang Ziqian stepped forward and asked, "Ladies, what happened inside?"

The two women who were talking turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor. They didn't hide anything and shared what they had seen and heard.

After hearing this, Zhang Ziqian was speechless. This person was really unlucky.

There weren't many customers in the store that afternoon, so the staff collected the takeout orders and went to eat. The delivery driver was test-driving in his vehicle when, a few minutes later, an explosion and fire occurred inside. This incident caused quite a stir—

Thankfully, people were still there, otherwise they would have set the entire mall on fire. (End of Chapter)
