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

Lin Tao exclaimed in surprise, surprised that even the marketing director of Jiefei Technology was unaware of this matter.

Li Fei explained, "It's normal that you don't know. This business deal was negotiated personally by General Manager Gao Yang."

Gao Yang is the company's executive vice president and Lin Tao's direct superior. Lin Tao couldn't understand when President Gao had personally negotiated a business deal, and why he did it so mysteriously, without Lin Tao even knowing about it.

His eyes darted around, glancing at Li Xiao, and he suddenly said, "I didn't expect our company to have such a close partnership with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group—"

Li Xiao sneered, "There's a lot you don't know."

Lin Tao didn't dare to talk back, but continued, "How come the salesperson from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group doesn't know anything about our company and is very disrespectful—when I mentioned President Li, the other party even made some arrogant remarks."

Li Hui's expression changed. What did this mean? Wasn't this a blatant provocation? Dr. Feng's robot salesman had spoken arrogantly to Li Xiao? Now that he was alone, wouldn't that make Li Xiao dislike him?

This provocation is too obvious, but Li Xiao still asked, "How exactly did you spout such nonsense?" Li Fei also turned to look at him, wondering what this bastard was going to say. A salesperson spouting nonsense? I've heard that Dr. Feng's Robotics team is quite strict in managing its employees, and the company's public image has always been very good. I've never heard of any arrogant people there.

Lin Tao, having been thoroughly offended by Chen Xiao today, didn't notice Li Fei and Li Xiao's expressions and thought he had succeeded. He then said, "Today at a small tech company, I ran into a truant employee from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group—"

At this point, Li Hui's expression turned strange. Was this guy framing Chen Xiao? Wasn't that courting death? With President Feng protecting him, what did it matter if this President Li was President Xu's best friend? She might not have as much face as President Feng in front of President Xu.

Back when Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group held its annual meeting, the friendship between General Manager Xu and General Manager Feng was as close as sisters, something that General Manager Li in front of us might not be able to match.

Thinking of this, Li Hui was no longer in a hurry. If this guy framed Chen Xiao and Chen Xiao found out in the future, he wouldn't have enough lives to kill.

"When everyone talked about the development history of Jiefei Technology, I mentioned the first round of financing our company received. I also said that the main reason was that Ms. Li Xiao and Ms. Xu were as close as sisters, and that Ms. Li's management skills and the technical team were recognized by Junxiao Capital—"

"But, the other party actually said, actually said..."

Li Xiao couldn't wait any longer. "Say it all at once, what are you talking about? Stop talking like you're constipated."

Even when Li Xiao scolded him, he could only smile and think that as long as he achieved his goal, being scolded was worth it.

"They actually said that Junxiao Capital's investment has absolutely nothing to do with Li Xiao, let alone the team at Jiefei Technology. It's mainly because Jiefei Technology needs so little money, and Junxiao Capital is treating it like a beggar's meal—"

These words immediately soured everyone's faces. Firstly, both Li Fei and Li Xiao understood that this couldn't possibly have come from Junxiao Group; everyone knew how the project was initially negotiated. It was indeed Xu Wu who, out of consideration for Li Xiao, and given the promising nature of the Jiefei Technology project—a profitable investment for Junxiao Capital—agreed to undertake the project.

Lin Tao's words could be interpreted as either the salesperson from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group making things up without knowing the facts, or Lin Tao maliciously stirring up trouble. However, there's no way to verify this. It's impossible to call that salesperson from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group in for a confrontation; even if they said it, they wouldn't admit it.

Everyone present understood this principle. Lin Tao saw this point: as long as he insisted that the other party had said it, what did it matter if the man surnamed Chen denied it?

Li Xiao glanced at him, then at Li Hui, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. If that person was truly fabricating stories about her and Xu Wu, then he was truly despicable—

Lin Tao then said to Li Hui, "Brother Hui, your salesman is really inconsiderate. We ate at the same restaurant, and he didn't even know to toast the boss. He's always causing trouble outside. Your company really needs to reconsider hiring someone like that—"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao said to Li Hui, "What? Is the person Lin Tao mentioned in this restaurant? Let's invite him over for a chat. I'd like to get to know another business elite from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group."

Her point was that regardless of whether the other party admitted it or not, she had to confront them. Otherwise, she was already in a bad mood and would be unfairly gossiped about for no reason.

Li Hui smiled wryly: "President Xiao, he is indeed at this restaurant, but I can't get him to come."

"Huh—this is interesting." Lin Tao stared at Li Hui in disbelief. He actually said he couldn't command that subordinate? Isn't that going against the natural order?
Li Fei and Li Xiao were both startled, and at the same time had a sense of absurdity. Could it be him? He hardly goes to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group anymore.

"Lin Tao, what's the name of the person you're talking about?" Li Xiao asked, her breathing quickening. Li Fei didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid of missing a single word.

"His surname is Chen, but I don't know his given name. Brother Hui, what's his full name?" Lin Tao asked, not noticing that Li Xiao and Li Fei's expressions had changed drastically.

Li Hui chuckled. Lin Tao was really asking for trouble. He'd better not play dead when Chen Xiao comes after him. He calmly replied, "Call him Chen Xiao—"

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed. Although she had already guessed it, hearing that name still made her tremble and her body go weak. Li Fei shouted, "Lin Tao, you fucking get the hell out of here! Don't ever say you work for Jiefei Technology again, or I'll deal with you—"

Lin Tao was startled, wondering how his former boss, who had just been extending an olive branch to him, could suddenly turn into such a ferocious-looking man, as if he wanted to devour him.

The person with the "ultimate connections," Li Xiao pointed at him with a look of fear, saying, "Get out of here right now, and don't ever say you know me again—"

Li Hui was startled. He knew Chen Xiao was doing well outside, but he never expected that simply mentioning his name would nearly make the boss of Jiefeng Technology lose control of his bladder. Xu's best friend was deathly pale, and all this stemmed from their acquaintance with Lin Tao, fearing misunderstandings. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? He had always thought Chen Xiao was impressive, but now it seemed he had underestimated him; this was clearly impressive beyond measure!

Lin Tao didn't know how he got out of the private room. Li Hui didn't wait for him at all, knowing in his heart that Lin Tao probably had no place in Jiangzhou's business circle in the future.

Old Qin, who was standing next to him, was also miserable. He kept his distance from Lin Tao. He originally wanted to get to know President Xu's best friend with Lin Tao, but now he was implicated by Lin Tao. President Li Xiao even glared at him. Old Qin felt like he wanted to die.

Lin Tao returned to the private room, where a group of people said enviously:

"President Lin, I didn't realize you had such a wide network of connections. Please mentor us next time you have the opportunity!"

"Yes, yes. You can't just be nice to Lao Qin alone, that's favoritism. Hey—Lao Qin, what's with that expression? It looks like your dad is worried you're cold in the middle of summer and handed you a down jacket."

Old Qin glanced at them, then at Lin Tao, whose face was ashen, and sighed. "Damn it," he thought, "could anything be worse?" He stood up and said, "Everyone, I have some things to take care of at home, so I'll be leaving now. Enjoy your meal."

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Why wasn't the lucky audience member happy? Why did they run away first?
Lin Tao stood up: "I'll be going too—" He was completely flustered. Even a fool would know that the man surnamed Chen was someone of considerable importance, but what kind of background could have frightened Li Fei and Li Xiao like that? Seeing the situation was turning sour, and since everyone had almost finished eating, someone suggested they call it a day. The person who organized the gathering went to pay the bill. Lin Tao was about to leave when he saw Li Hui and suddenly fell a few steps behind. When Li Hui passed by, he quickly approached and said, "Mr. Li, you have to save me—"

"Save you? How?" Li Hui sneered. You reap what you sow; you were blind to provoke that fiend. He was already being lenient by not bullying you, yet you went around stirring up trouble for him.

Lin Tao grabbed Li Hui's hand: "President Li, that's your subordinate. Please say a few good words for me, and I'll apologize. I hope he can forgive me."

"This child is beyond saving," Li Hui said, flicking his sleeve and brushing his hand away. "I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to help."

After saying that, he went out, and Lin Tao quickly chased after him: "President Li, you can't just stand by and watch someone die—"

He stopped abruptly as soon as he finished speaking, because there were two more CEOs, Li Fei and Li Xiao, outside the door. They were both staring at him as if he were already dead.

Indeed, Mr. Li refused to help those in distress; all three Mr. Lis were like that.

Lin Tao was glared at by Li Xiao with murderous intent and didn't dare to follow suit. He had no idea how powerful that guy surnamed Chen was. But he knew Li Xiao; with just a word from her, he wouldn't be able to survive in Jiangzhou's social circles.

They followed at a distance, not daring to go forward.

Chen Xiao had also drunk too much. Qin Yun asked, "Can you still drink?" As she asked, she glanced at the wine in the decanter. There was still a third of the wine left. It would be such a waste not to drink it all.

Judging from Chen Xiao's appearance, he was really drunk and couldn't even speak clearly.

"Why can't we drink? Come on, let's have a toast together—"

Qin Yun blushed and spat, "Chen Xiao, don't go too far. Do you think I'm a hostess at a nightclub?"

Nightclubs? Chen Xiao chuckled twice: "The people at nightclubs dress way sexier than you. Look at you, look at you, in June, you're wearing a t-shirt and jeans, so incredibly tacky—"

He's so hypocritical. Zhao Xiangjun used to love dressing like that, and she liked wearing loose-fitting jeans to hide her amazing figure.

He thought Zhao Xiangjun looked good in it; but when Qin Yun wore it, he said it was tacky, which infuriated Qin Yun. "What do you know? This is called fashionable simplicity—"

Simple? Chen Xiao glanced at her.

Perhaps to prove herself, Qin Yun stood up, walked in front of him, turned around, and said, "Isn't this simple?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "smack" sound. Qin Yun suddenly felt her buttocks go numb. Her face turned bright red as she stared at Chen Xiao. Why did he spank her?
"Hmm, simple yet sophisticated—" Chen Xiao pinched her butt, then slumped onto the table with his head on his arm, looking like he was really drunk.

"Oh dear, you bad person, you've really drunk too much. How are we going to get home now, sigh—"

Qin Yun called a waiter to come and pay the bill, then pulled Chen Xiao up and made him put his arm around her shoulder, so that his entire weight was on her.

"You're so heavy—" Qin Yun complained.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, let out a gasp, and then heard Chen Xiao say, "You're so big—"

That bastard, he's not behaving properly when he's drunk; you can imagine what he's like when he's sober.
Just as they stepped out the door, a group of people came in. Seeing the two of them, the man and woman at the front ran over: "President Chen, President Chen—"

Then a middle-aged man ran over, also wanting to lend a hand. Qin Yun quickly said, "No need, no need—", but upon seeing the middle-aged man, she exclaimed, "President Li?"

Li Hui, the marketing director of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group. Qin Yun had naturally met him before; she had heard people introduce him when she ate in the cafeteria.

In terms of position, Chen Xiao was his subordinate, but judging from his attitude, Chen Xiao was more important than his own father. Not only was Li Hui rushing to help her up, but the man and woman in front also wanted to help. Just as Qin Yun didn't know what to do, a crisp voice came from the side: "Miss Qin, let us take care of Mr. Chen—"

Qin Yun looked at the two short-haired girls with suspicion, "Who are you?" How could she possibly hand Chen Xiao over to two strangers?

Fortunately, Chen Xiao was still somewhat conscious. He looked up and said, "It's alright, we're all on the same side."

Qin Yun then let go, and at this moment Li Fei stepped forward with a fawning expression: "President Chen, do you still remember me?"

Chen Xiao, supported by two bodyguards, glanced at Li Xiao as if he didn't recognize her, making Li Xiao feel wronged. Sigh—it seems she has no chance at all.

Then, after glancing at Li Fei a few times, she remembered, "Are you Gao Gao?"

Li Fei was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Chen, I am Li Fei from Jiefei Technology. The Gao you are referring to should be my deputy general manager, Gao Yang."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry—", then she turned and saw Li Hui, nodding. This simple greeting made Li Hui feel flattered, and he took two steps forward: "President Chen—", as if he were waiting for orders.

Lin Tao, standing behind them, clearly saw how obsequious the men were to Chen Xiao. He was even more confused. Wasn't Chen Xiao Li Hui's subordinate? Why was he being treated with such deference as if he were his own father?

Just then, Chen Xiao saw him and waved, so Lin Tao had no choice but to step forward.

"Why are you being so obedient now? Don't you like seeing me being unruly? How do you want to see me like this?"

Lin Tao glanced at Li Fei and Li Hui, whose eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets, and he burst into tears. (End of Chapter)
