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

Li Hui pressed his hands down, gesturing for everyone to sit down. He walked straight to the head seat and sat down, then looked around and said, "Everyone's here, so let's start serving the dishes."

Despite Li Hui's submissive demeanor within the company, he still commands considerable respect outside. With the rapid expansion of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group and its growing influence in Jiangzhou and even nationwide, the salaries of its employees have naturally risen accordingly.

Take Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group's marketing department as an example. They not only negotiate business for the company, but also handle a significant amount of business themselves and are clients for many companies. Naturally, when they go out, they're surrounded by people eager to curry favor.

Lin Tao looked at the imposing Li Hui and felt incredibly envious. When he first met Li Hui, Li Hui hadn't even joined Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group yet. Back then, Li Hui would call him "Brother Lin." But now, their positions had completely reversed, and Lin Tao felt awkward even calling him "Brother Li."

He was secretly thinking about toasting the boss of Jiefei Technology and Li Xiao later, but he also needed to curry favor with this President Li. Li had a lot of resources at his disposal, and if he caught Li's eye, he could get himself into Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group as his deputy. That way, that guy surnamed Chen would become his subordinate, and he could easily manipulate him.
Since they were going to other private rooms later, after everyone raised their glasses four times, Lin Tao quickly ran over to toast Li Hui separately.

"Brother Li, I toast you—"

Li Hui smiled faintly. He recognized the man in front of him. He used to call him Brother Lin when he was doing poorly. Back then, the man was indifferent to him. But now, he looked like a lapdog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

He gently clinked his glass together: "Old Lin, it's been a long time—"

Lin Tao quickly said, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I've always wanted to learn from Brother Li, but I was afraid you were too busy and didn't want to bother you."

Li Hui didn't reply. Want to visit me? Does he even deserve it?

At this moment, Lin Tao didn't forget to sow discord between Chen Xiao and Lin Tao, "By the way, Brother Li, I also ran into one of your subordinates today."

Li Hui raised his eyelids slightly, but he wasn't very interested. He now had seven or eight subordinates, but Yuan Kai was still the one who mainly reported to him. The marketing staff below him were several levels below him, and they rarely had the opportunity to report to higher-ups.

Seeing that he was still listening, Lin Tao continued, "It happened at another AI algorithm company. Your subordinate is quite something; he doesn't seem to be there to do business, but rather to woo the female boss."

Oh? Li Hui thought for a moment. His underlings had been acting a bit out of line lately. The company was powerful now, but these salesmen were running around trying to woo other bosses. Did these guys think they were Chen Xiao?
Thinking of Chen Xiao, Li Hui recalled the rumors he had heard at the company some time ago, that Chen Xiao had dated the boss, Feng Feifei. They suddenly realized why President Feng had been so protective of Chen Xiao before, and why a vice president had been sent to work as a sewing machine operator because he didn't get along with Chen Xiao.

Her own cousin was kicked out of the company and forbidden from ever entering the Feng family again simply for saying a few bad things about Chen Xiao. Adding to this, Ji Kang had just spotted Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei holding hands at the subway station a few days ago.
Wow—Chen Xiao has truly broken the record for salespeople; he's the best salesperson ever, and he deserves the title.

"Brother Li, but your subordinate seems to lack work experience; he doesn't even have your phone number—"

He doesn't have his own phone number? How did he know? Li Hui had already sensed Lin Tao's provocative intent and sneered, "Is that so? What's his name?"

Li Hui had no intention of causing trouble for them. Lin Tao said they didn't have his phone number, so why didn't they? Besides, he didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Yuan Kai reported directly to him, not them, and they weren't even qualified to sit at the same table with him. At the company, Li Hui maintained a certain distance from the marketing specialists.

"His surname is Chen. I told him you'd be having dinner here tonight. He should have come to offer a toast by now, but he hasn't. I wonder if he'll come tonight?"

Lin Tao did it on purpose. If Chen Xiao came, he would have the opportunity to humiliate him in front of his boss. If he didn't come, even better, because that would make Li Hui think he disrespected his superiors, and Li Hui might make things difficult for him at the company later.

Surname Chen? Li Hui frowned and thought for a moment. None of the young men below had the surname Chen. Surname Chen—Holy crap!

Li Hui's expression suddenly changed drastically. "You said his surname is Chen, what does he look like?"

Lin Tao found it strange that Li Hui's expression had suddenly changed; his face, which had been slightly flushed from drinking, was now deathly pale.

"He looks refined and young, probably only 25 or 6 years old."

Holy crap, it's confirmed, it's definitely him. Making Chen Xiao toast him? How dare he? And this guy is still stirring things up. Does he even know who he's offended? This idiot! He's really made a fool of himself. I'll stay away from him from now on. Oh, no, I'll never have anything to do with him again. I'm blocking his contact information right now.

Thinking of this, Li Hui's face turned cold, and he put down his wine glass, indicating that he wanted to see the guest out.

Lin Tao, oblivious to his own ignorance, continued, "These days, young people are mostly only children, spoiled rotten by their families, and have no manners whatsoever. I doubt someone like that could survive more than five episodes in any company—"

Li Hui glanced at him as if he were a plague victim. "You're spitting everywhere, the air stinks—"

Lin Tao was stunned, not understanding why Li Hui had suddenly changed his expression and said such humiliating things. The surroundings fell silent; the air seemed to freeze.

He didn't dare to argue with Li Hui, so he could only return to his seat, his face flushed with embarrassment. The others kept glancing at him and whispering among themselves, wondering if he had bad breath or why Li Hui was humiliating him.

Li Hui doesn't even look at him, and he thinks others won't survive five episodes. If Boss Feng were to blacklist you, you wouldn't even last five seconds.

At this moment, someone stepped in to ease the tension and changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Li, you'll be attending Zhifei Aerospace's annual meeting tomorrow, won't you?"

Li Hui nodded; he had naturally received the invitation.
"Of course, President Li is the top marketing executive at Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group. Although Zhifei Aerospace is also a large company, it still has to curry favor with Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group. I heard that 95% of Zhifei Aerospace's orders come from Dr. Feng."

"Yes, it's terrifying to think about. Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group actually built a large conglomerate with an annual output value of tens of billions through orders."

"President Li, please take care of us in the future."

"Exactly, exactly. Even if Mr. Li only lets a little slip through his fingers, it's enough." Li Hui could only smile. The orders from Zhifei Aerospace all came from Chen Xiao; he didn't have that ability himself. But as for the hundreds of millions of yuan worth of orders that passed through his hands every year, that was true. Wasn't that what these people were currying favor with him for?
Listening to everyone flattering Li Hui, and knowing that Li Hui disliked him and everyone was avoiding him, Lin Tao stood up. "I'll go over there and offer a toast. The boss of Jiefei Technology, who's also my former boss, is there. Oh, and over there is my former colleague, also President Li. This lady is quite something; she's the best friend of President Xu, the CEO of Junxiao Group. Lao Qin, would you like to come with me to offer a toast?"

The scene fell silent. The boss of Jiefei Technology didn't seem to care. But Junxiao Group was terrifying—the CEO's best friend? If they ever had the chance to meet her, their ancestors' graves would be emitting auspicious smoke!

"Old Lin, thank you, thank you—"

Old Qin had no reason to refuse, and everyone else was also looking at Lin Tao with eager eyes. Even Li Hui was very interested. In Jiangzhou, who wouldn't want to know the big boss of Junxiao Group?

Lin Tao finally regained his composure. "There shouldn't be too many people. How about this, Mr. Li, are you interested? The two over there also share the surname Li, and they're from the same clan. Shall I introduce you?"

This act of repaying evil with kindness drew everyone's attention to Li Hui. Li Hui hesitated for a moment; he truly didn't want to apologize to Lin Tao—who was Lin Tao anyway? But knowing President Xu's best friend presented a golden opportunity.

So he stood up and said, "Old Lin, let's have a drink. I was very rude just now—"

He had thought it through clearly. It was important to soften his stance at the dinner table and get to know President Xu's best friend first. He'd deal with this bastard later when he had the chance; anyone who dared to act arrogantly towards him should be prepared for punishment.

Lin Tao smiled proudly and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, led the way out of the private room with his wine glass in hand.

"Old Lin's got some nerve—did he offend Li Hui today?"

"Hmph, they're just flexing their muscles. If they really have a connection with President Xu's best friend, ignoring Li Hui is perfectly normal—"

"Speaking of which, if Lin Tao knew President Xu's best friend, finding a job in the industry would be a piece of cake. How come he's still unemployed?"

Li Hui followed Lin Tao to the door of a private room. Lin Tao knocked, then pushed the door open and went in. The moment he entered, he bowed deeply: "Boss, Mr. Li, I've come to offer a toast—"

Li Fei had just heard from Li Xiao that he had run into Lin Tao here. His impression of this former subordinate was so-so; Lin Tao hadn't accomplished anything significant for the company. So, after Lin Tao expressed some dissatisfaction with the company's salary policy, saying things like the company was doing better and better but employees weren't getting raises, Li Fei had HR talk to him about leaving.

The company is accelerating its development recently, and thanks to Li Xiao's connections, they've been able to get involved with Junxiao Capital. Li Fei is going all out now, wanting to take a gamble. After all, Ding Yong and the others he knew back then are doing much better than him now.

The relationships are all the same. Ding Yong got to know President Xu through Gao Yue, and Ding Yong himself got to know President Xu through Li Xiao. Both Gao Yue and Li Xiao are President Xu's classmates, so it's embarrassing that he's doing so poorly.

With rapid development, the marketing team needs to be expanded. Lin Tao already had a good understanding of the company culture, so if he's willing to come back, he can get up to speed quickly, which wouldn't be a bad thing.

"Come here, Kobayashi—who are these two?"

"Boss, Mr. Li, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Qin from the marketing department of Yuanda Technology, and this is Mr. Li, the marketing director of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group—"

When Lao Qin introduced Yuanda Technology, Li Fei and Li Xiao didn't even bother to lift their eyelids. It was a third-rate company, a third-rate entity; they looked down on it. But when Li Hui was introduced as the Marketing Director of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, Li Fei and Li Xiao stood up simultaneously.

Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group is a legendary company in Jiangzhou, second only to Junxiao Group, and its relationship with Junxiao Group is intricate and its cooperation extremely close. This is evident from the fact that the two companies jointly established the Junxing Intelligent R&D Center. Furthermore, Li Xiao knows that Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group's owner, Feng Feifei, is also Chen Xiao's woman, and a very influential one at that.

At this moment, Lin Tao introduced Li Fei to Li Hui and Lao Qin, saying, "This is my former boss, my mentor, and my guide in this industry."

He managed to write a whopping 250 words, making Li Fei feel a little guilty about firing him in the first place. "Xiao Lin, if you're interested, I'd still welcome you back—"

This was tantamount to extending an olive branch in public. For Lin Tao, who was unemployed and had been beaten up, this was a lifeline. His face turned red with excitement, and he flattered her for another 250 words before he was satisfied.

Approaching Li Xiao, Lin Tao bowed even lower. This Mr. Li was someone even Li Fei desperately tried to curry favor with. "Brother Hui, this Mr. Li was my colleague at Jiefei Technology, and he's been very kind to me—"

Li Xiao smiled faintly, not even glancing at him. "What do you mean, 'I care about you'? I don't know who you are."

Then he added, "Brother Hui, don't let the sheer size of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group fool you. Your CEO, Mr. Feng, is a prominent figure, but he'd probably have to show some respect to our CEO, Mr. Li—"

Li Hui didn't even have time to be unhappy. After all, Feng Feifei was a god-like figure in their eyes, and being belittled like this must have made him uncomfortable.

Li Xiao's face had already turned pale with anger. "Lin Tao, please stop talking nonsense! Who is President Feng? He's someone I've always admired but never had the chance to meet—"

Lin Tao was stunned by the scolding, not understanding why Li Xiao suddenly changed her expression. She remembered that Li Xiao quite liked being fawned over, and given her arrogant personality, why would she care about Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group?

Li Hui felt relieved. He glanced at Lin Tao and cursed inwardly, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk about our CEO Feng? See, even if this CEO Li has connections everywhere, he still has to give our CEO Feng the utmost respect."

"Yes, yes—you're right," Lin Tao said with a fawning smile, looking more like a grandson than a grandson himself.

Li Fei, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity to say, "Xiao Lin, don't talk nonsense in the future. Our Jiefei Technology also has a cooperation with Dr. Feng's robots. We've also dealt with President Li's marketing department."

"Oh?" Li Hui was unaware that Dr. Feng's Robotics had ever collaborated with Jiefei Technology. He hadn't even joined the company yet, and it was during the early stages of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group's development when Jiefei Sports placed a 5000 million yuan order with Chen Xiao.
