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

Jiangzhou Design Institute

Bai Sheng is currently riding high on success.
A year ago, Jiangzhou Design Institute was a fairly well-known company in Jiangzhou, but that was all!

In Jiangzhou today, a company with an annual output value of less than 10 billion yuan is truly becoming a "dog-unacceptable" enterprise!

The rapid rise of mega-enterprises like Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, Junxiao Group, and Zhifei Aerospace has spurred a large number of upstream and downstream businesses. Now in Jiangzhou, at business gatherings, bosses with annual output values ​​below 10 billion yuan don't even dare to speak loudly.

Since learning that his brother-in-law was the owner of Junxiao Group, and having benefited from his brother-in-law's connections to become a strategic partner in Guo's Group's smart city project, Bai Sheng began to live a life where he didn't need to ask for help from anyone.

No more worrying about orders for businesses! Now all we have to do is recruit, recruit, and keep recruiting!
As a result, the human resources department has significantly expanded its recruitment. The HR director is a bit bewildered lately, feeling that his department is actually the most like a business department in the entire company.

As for the sales department, it's basically all about handling contracts now. The old job of running around to clients and discussing projects is no longer necessary. Now, they're too busy just sitting at home writing contracts to have any time left for sales.

Besides, the current construction teams aren't even handling their existing business. Going out to take on more work would just be asking for trouble.

Bai Sheng sat with his legs crossed on the sofa in his office, savoring the white tea his sister had given him—a tea he'd heard was worth 300 million yuan per kilogram. He clicked his tongue twice and said, "This decadent lifestyle is no good! Yet, it's so alluring—"

Buzz—Buzz—

Bai Sheng glanced casually at the phone that was vibrating incessantly on the coffee table.

The caller ID above reads: 【Genesis Group - Mr. Xiang】

"A big client, huh?" Bai Sheng sat up lazily, picked up his phone, hesitated for a moment, and then swiped to answer the call.

If this had happened before, he would have jumped up immediately, grabbed his phone, and said, "Hey boss!"

But today, it was just a simple "Mr. Xiang, it's been a long time!"

Mr. Xiang on the other end was clearly taken aback by Bai Sheng's reaction. It took him a while to recover before he sneered, "Ah Sheng, you've been drifting apart from your older brother lately—"

Haha
Bai Sheng smiled and said, "President Xiang, you're too kind. I've just been quite busy lately. Otherwise, I would have gone to you to learn from you long ago!"

President Xiang snorted coldly, naturally discerning the perfunctory tone in Bai Sheng's words. "President Bai, I heard you've recently secured quite a bit of business with the Guo Group. I'm afraid you're no longer interested in what I have, are you?"

"Not at all, not at all. Mr. Xiang is joking. We are indeed short-handed recently, and we are still recruiting heavily. We need to hone our skills before we come out of retirement."

Bai Sheng knew why President Xiang was so resentful. President Xiang's Genesis Group was originally the "bread and butter" of Jiangzhou Design Institute, with one-third of the institute's annual business coming from Genesis Group.

Genesis Group's annual revenue of over 10 billion is supported by its cooperation with the Guo Group, especially the smart city project of Miss Guo.

Now that Bai Sheng is no longer taking on business from the Genesis Group, even if President Xiang was somewhat surprised, he wouldn't speak so sourly. If Bai Sheng won't take it, plenty of others will. These days, there's no shortage of people who can't find projects, only those who can't get them.

What made him resentful was that because the Jiangzhou Design Institute directly cooperated with the Guo Group, it had snatched away many cooperation opportunities between the [Genesis Group] and the Guo Group. This made General Manager Xiang uncomfortable! It felt a bit like someone had bypassed the middleman and gone straight to the source of the goods.

To ease the unpleasant atmosphere, Bai Sheng said politely, "President Xiang, you are welcome to come to Jiangzhou whenever you have time. No matter how busy I am, I will definitely make time to receive you!"

"Great, Mr. Bai, that's very kind of you. I'm right outside the Jiangzhou Design Institute now, I'll come up to you right away."

Holy crap—

Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. From here, he could see the main entrance of the park, and a black Bentley Mulsanne was parked on the side of the road. Bai Sheng remembered that President Xiang's car seemed to be this one.

Damn, I really can't be so polite anymore!
"Oh my, Mr. Xiang's arrival is an honor! Why didn't you say so sooner, Mr. Xiang?"

"Mr. Bai, I heard from the security guard that you came into the company this morning!"

Damn!

Bai Sheng originally wanted to say that he was on a business trip, but President Xiang's words cut him off.
"Oh, I anticipated that a distinguished guest would be arriving today, so I came to the company early to wait. Mr. Xiang, I'll come down to greet you shortly—"

After hanging up the phone, I sent a message to the general affairs department: "From now on, no one is allowed to disclose my whereabouts to anyone outside the company—"

Ugh, this guy surnamed Xiang's visit is bound to be an unpleasant experience. I'll probably make a few self-deprecating jokes, but is it my fault?
If you have to blame someone, blame my brother-in-law for being Chen Xiao. What could I do? He offered me business opportunities and money; could I refuse? Did I dare to refuse?

Hey--

I'm so wronged!

He shook his head and complained, but the barely suppressed smile on his face betrayed him.

"We ordinary people are so happy today!" they sang, swaying their heads as they walked outside.

The employees of Jiangzhou Design Institute behind him were dumbfounded: "President Bai, are you in such a good mood today, singing as you walk?"

"Last month, the company's revenue increased by 50% year-on-year. I heard that's just the beginning. This month will be even more incredible. How can I not be happy?"

"No, I know he's in a good mood. What I meant was, he sings so terribly, why is he singing so loudly?"

"."

"Brother, stay away from me. Don't splatter my blood."

Fortunately, General Manager Bai didn't hear the whispers behind their backs. He was currently walking briskly towards the park's main entrance, calling out to General Manager Xiang's car as it entered, "Oh my, oh my! Distinguished guest, rare guest!!!"

Mr. Xiang got out of the car and snorted. Bai Sheng had a smile on his face, but it was utterly fake!
"Mr. Bai, I apologize for my intrusion. I was afraid you would send me away."

Bai Sheng hurriedly forced a smile and said, "How could that be? I'll arrange for the cafeteria to cook some good dishes for lunch so we can have a few drinks together."

Damn it!

Mr. Xiang looked constipated. "Mr. Bai, a friend has come from afar, are you really going to treat him to a meal in the cafeteria?"

Faced with President Xiang's sarcasm, Bai Sheng remained unfazed. "President Xiang, you don't know. My cafeteria has a renowned chef from Jiangzhou at the helm. The food is so much better than what you get in hotels!"

Mr. Xiang chuckled twice, "I don't believe you for a second!"

Judging from Bai Sheng's cunning smile, he's definitely not an honest kid.

It was Mr. Xiang's first time visiting the Jiangzhou Design Institute. Bai Sheng pretended to give him a tour before returning to his office.

The secretary came over to make tea for General Manager Xiang.
"Hey—, bring me my best tea!" Best tea? The secretary was taken aback. The tea Bai Sheng had placed on the tea table was his best tea. He wanted to change it again? Change it for what?
However, someone who can be a secretary must have high emotional intelligence. She immediately understood what President Bai meant: this stingy person definitely wouldn't be willing to serve the guests that tea worth millions.

"Yes, Mr. Bai—"

Mr. Xiang, unaware of the situation, assumed Bai Sheng was offering him his own better tea. He finally nodded slightly; it seemed this guy still respected him.

Knowing Mr. Bai's temperament well, the assistant picked out the cheapest tea he had.
"Mr. Bai, is this the tea you usually drink?" Mr. Xiang took a sip and almost spat it out. Damn it, even the tea his company uses to entertain visiting clients feels better than this. This tea probably isn't even worth 1000 yuan. Bai Sheng is such a miser, so stingy with himself. Heard business has been booming lately, why is he being so frugal?
Bai Sheng chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly composed: "Hey, Mr. Xiang, this tea is quite good, isn't it? I wouldn't have dared to drink it if you hadn't come."

He really couldn't bear to drink it; Bailu was giving him only the best tea now. He had no interest in drinking this kind of tea anymore; he'd rather take it home and use it to make tea eggs.

Mr. Xiang smiled disdainfully. "Country bumpkin, never seen the world."
Logically speaking, the Bai family should be a wealthy family, so how come their only son is such a bumpkin?
Despite his discomfort, President Xiang put down his teacup and casually asked, "President Bai, I heard that you recently secured nearly 15 billion yuan worth of business from the Guo Group?"

When he mentioned "15 billion," his cheeks twitched a few times, whether from toothache or heartache, it was hard to tell.

This was originally his tea, but now it's all been snatched up by the Jiangzhou Design Institute.
Bai Sheng picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and felt incredibly happy.
Mr. Xiang was somewhat dissatisfied, as he had asked Bai Sheng a question himself. Bai Sheng didn't answer, so he pressed on, "This information is correct, isn't it?"

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Sheng said softly, "The information is incorrect!"

Oh?
Mr. Xiang's eyes lit up: "Really? There are rumors that the average price per order you get from the Guo Group is 1.5 times that of the orders I [Genesis Group] gave you before?"

At this point, Mr. Xiang became distressed again. If this is true, then the average unit price that Guo's Group pays to Jiangzhou Design Institute is 30% higher than what it pays to itself.

Why should he pay such high prices and still steal my business? Mr. Xiang has been so angry lately he hasn't been able to sleep well.

Bai Sheng smiled calmly, "This news is inaccurate too!"

oh!?

President Xiang was immediately delighted. "Could it be that I misunderstood you? You didn't actually cooperate with the Guo Group?"

Bai Sheng shook his head: "No, I'm an honest person. Once we've cooperated, we've cooperated. I can't lie to you. After all, President Xiang is still my senior!"

Upon hearing about the collaboration, President Xiang's mood soured again. "Heh—good, you've certainly climbed the social ladder. You've partnered with the Guo Group, but the volume isn't that large, and the price isn't that high, right?"

Bai Sheng refilled President Xiang's cup with tea, saying, "That's not it either—"

Mr. Xiang waved his hand: "No need for any more, I can't drink anymore."

Bai Sheng refilled his cup again; such "good" tea should definitely be given to President Xiang to drink more of.
Having no other choice, President Xiang could only force himself to drink another glass, continuing to press, "What exactly is the situation between you and the Guo Group?"

Seeing that President Xiang was extremely anxious, Bai Sheng felt that he had kept him in suspense long enough, so he slowly and methodically said, "It is indeed a cooperation, but the business volume is indeed not 15 billion."

Mr. Xiang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This bastard was talking like he was constipated. "Say it! Just say it!"

Seeing that President Xiang had swallowed his tea, Bai Sheng said with relief, "The confirmed business volume is currently 30 billion—"

puff--

Bai Sheng, who was prepared, dodged to the side. At the same time, he was secretly pleased with himself—luckily, he was prepared in time; this old man almost sprayed air at him. If it had been tea, he would definitely have been accidentally injured.

At this moment, President Xiang's eyes showed shock, anger, and jealousy!

I've been cooperating with the Guo Group for so many years, and I've never received orders worth 30 billion yuan from them in a single year. Meanwhile, the Jiangzhou Design Institute only contacts the Guo Group directly for a month or two; how could they possibly have such a large volume of business?

Mr. Xiang was extremely upset; he was so frustrated that he could only think of "Holy crap!"
He stared blankly at Bai Sheng, unsure of what to say. Bai Sheng continued, "The unit price isn't 1.5 times the price you gave me before, but rather—"

Bai Sheng had whetted Mr. Xiang's appetite once again, until Mr. Xiang was about to "lash out," when he continued, "But it's twice as much—"

Puff puff--

This time, President Xiang couldn't even spit out his anger; instead, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Damn, Bai Sheng is furious. That old man is so inconsiderate. Sigh, it's my own fault too, why was I so naughty? But then again, it's not entirely my fault. Who told me to have such a wonderful sister, and such an amazing brother-in-law?

He handed a tissue to President Xiang, but before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door—

Knock knock knock~
"Enter!"

Mr. Xiang looked towards the entrance with a blank expression, and saw Bai Sheng's assistant come in from outside and approach him.

Bai Sheng frowned: "Is something the matter?"

He was entertaining guests, and his assistant wouldn't bother him unless it was an emergency.

"Mr. Bai, Assistant Bai has entered the company..."

"Oh?" Bai Sheng's eyes lit up: "She came to the company today?"

Bai Lu hadn't come for several days. She heard that Chen Xiao's parents had come, and her younger sister had been spending time with her mother-in-law lately—it was a way to build goodwill. Bai Sheng had been encouraging Bai Lu at home not to come to the company anymore; spending time with her mother-in-law at the Chen family home was the most important thing for her right now.

This point also received Chairman Bai's support!
"Why are you at the company? Isn't this neglecting your duties?"

The assistant was at a loss for words.

Mr. Xiang was completely dumbfounded. Was this kid even speaking human language? Was he an idiot? An assistant coming to work at the company was considered neglecting his duties?

How could the Guo Group possibly have taken a liking to a company like this, with such a leader, and cooperate with them? Heaven has no eyes!
"Oh right, she contacted you?" Bai Sheng suddenly remembered. If Bai Lu had nothing to do, her assistant wouldn't have come looking for him.

The assistant glanced at President Xiang, then nodded: "Yes—"

Bai Sheng immediately stood up: "What do you mean?"

President Xiang didn't understand why Bai Sheng was so agitated. It was just that his assistant had something to do.

"Assistant Bai needs you to go to her office."

General Manager Xiang: "."

Is there really such a thing as defying the Heavenly Gang? (End of Chapter)
