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

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, you are so forgiving! I was wrong, I deserve to die—"

As Lin Tao spoke, he suddenly knelt down on the ground.
Chen Xiao frowned. "What are you doing? Trying to scam me?"

"I was wrong, Mr. Chen, I was wrong—" If Mr. Chen doesn't forgive him now, Li Fei and his few men could kill him.

"I wouldn't even look at something like that," Chen Xiao said with a smile, supported by two bodyguards. "I also like your unruly attitude—"

He waved his hand, "Qin Yun, I'm leaving—"

Qin Yun hurried over, still wondering why Li Fei and Li Hui were so afraid of Chen Xiao, when she saw a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door, and the two bodyguards immediately helped Chen Xiao into it.

Qin Yun was stunned for a long time. If Chen Xiao hadn't said those two women were his own people, Qin Yun would have thought she'd been kidnapped. A salesman riding in a Rolls-Royce Phantom—wasn't that a bit too outrageous?

Li Fei and the others followed, and when they saw Chen Xiao get into the Rolls-Royce, Li Hui and Lin Tao looked like they had seen a ghost.

Li Hui was alright; he quickly realized that Chen Xiao was rich and, being President Feng's boyfriend, it wasn't a big deal for him to ride in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Lin Tao felt like fate was playing a cruel joke on him. A salesman riding in a Rolls-Royce, while his former boss and the all-powerful General Manager Li Xiao were terrified of him—what was going on?

Li Fei walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I suggest you leave Jiangzhou. You probably won't find a job here. Go somewhere far away, otherwise no one will dare to keep you."

At that moment, the window of the Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled down: "Qin Yun, what are you standing there for? Get in, I'll take you home—"

"Huh? I can ride in a Rolls-Royce?" Qin Yun got into the car in a daze. Feeling the back seat, which was like a moving palace, she wondered, "Is the back seat of a Rolls-Royce Phantom really this luxurious?" She naturally had no idea that the car's modifications had cost nearly 100 million yuan.

Laiwu County

In the scholarly Chen family villa, Shen Yun had spent the past two days either attending classes or spending all her time with Zhao Xiangjun. This daughter-in-law was even better to him than her own son; she was simply too lovable, beautiful and sensible.

"Xiangjun, are you bored at home? Shall we go out for a walk?"

"Okay, Mom—where do you want to go?" She didn't really want to go out, but she sensed that Shen Yun wanted to go out, so she pretended to be interested.

"Let's go to Junxiao Plaza, it's too hot outside. The environment inside the mall is better."

Xiangjun asked Yan Yue to prepare the car. This time, she was driving a Maybach back to Laiwu. Although it wasn't as flashy as a Rolls-Royce Phantom, it still attracted a lot of attention in the county.

After Junxiao Plaza was acquired, the brands inside underwent a major overhaul. Although the physical facilities remained largely unchanged, the brand atmosphere was vastly superior to what it used to be.

This Junxiao Plaza in Laiwu is quite special. The higher-ups all know it's the hometown of a big boss, so the resources allocated to this project are unparalleled.

Ma Jian's brands naturally followed suit. In the corner of the first-floor atrium, there were quite a few people queuing up in the afternoon.

"Chen Xiao's shop is doing quite well."

"Mom—, would you like some?"

Shen Jun thought for a moment, "Hmm, I'm going to the restroom, I'll buy two drinks later—"

Xiangjun was told to wander around the mall area while she went out to buy fruit drinks. As she passed the fruit drink shop, someone suddenly called out, "Teacher Shen?"

Shen Jun turned around and saw that it was her colleague Feng Ting.

This person doesn't usually interact much with Shen Yun; in fact, the two are rivals. Recently, when it came to the evaluation for senior teacher titles, Feng Ting lost to Shen Yun, and it's said that she had some complaints about it privately.

"Teacher Feng, are you buying drinks?"

"Yes, I went shopping with my son and daughter-in-law. My wife said she was thirsty, so I came over to buy her a fruit drink. I heard it's really popular lately, there's a line every day—"

Son, daughter-in-law? Shen Jun finally understood; her son had a girlfriend and was showing off.
If you had shown off a year ago, Shen Yun might have felt a pang of jealousy. But now that you're showing off, Shen Yun glanced at Zhao Xiangjun standing in the central hall. Is there anyone better than her daughter-in-law?
"Oh, congratulations!"

Feng Ting said proudly, "You know, this is all we'll ever be. We'll still have to take care of the kids, won't we? My Jiahao went to Huadi Auto and became a junior manager. He's really made his dad and me proud."

If it were a comparison of sons, Shen Yun would be even more confident, as her son was a prodigy.

"By the way, Ms. Shen, your son Chen Xiao hasn't been back for a long time, has he?"

"I came back once a while ago, but I've been quite busy with work lately, so I haven't been back as often."

Feng Ting nodded: "Teacher Shen, we've been teachers our whole lives, and we don't understand the children's current situation. In companies, the higher the leadership position, the more relaxed they are; the lower the position, the busier they are—"

Shen Jun understood; she was implying that Chen Xiao was of low character. Heh, she wasn't angry at all. A year ago, she might have been truly furious. Now, she even found it amusing when people called Chen Xiao an unemployed bum or a poor wretch.

"Teacher Feng, you're busy here, I'm going to the restroom."

Feng Ting thought Shen Yun had been defeated and felt a surge of pride. Just then, a man and a woman walked over from a distance. Shen Yun recognized them; the man was Jia Hao, and the woman was clearly his girlfriend. She was quite good-looking, a beauty, but that depended on who she was compared to. Not to mention Xiang Jun, even the maids at Xishan Linyu's house were prettier than her.

"Hello, Teacher Shen!"

Jia Hao recognized Shen Yun and greeted her. The girl next to him was rather arrogant and aloof and didn't greet him back. Shen Yun didn't take it seriously either.

"Jia Hao, I heard from Teacher Feng that things are going well for you now. Keep up the good work!"

At this moment, Feng Ting handed over the two fruit drinks she had bought, giving one to Jia Hao's girlfriend. Shen Yun walked towards the restroom, and before she had taken two steps, she heard Jia Hao's girlfriend say somewhat unhappily, "Ugh, why did you buy one with ice? Can I drink this while I'm on my period?"

Feng Ting was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, then I'll go buy you a new one."

Jia Hao chided her, "Mom, Liu Li always has stomach cramps when she gets her period, and you still bought her ice cream—"

Shen Yun shook her head inwardly and stopped paying attention to other people's affairs. When she came out of the restroom, she found Jia Hao and his girlfriend Liu Li still standing in the distance, while Feng Ting was in the queue.

As I got closer, I could still hear Liu Li complaining:

"How can your mother be so inconsiderate?"

Jia Hao smiled ingratiatingly: "Well, that's just how she is. She's been a teacher her whole life and hasn't seen much of the world. She lived with my dad and was always careless and oblivious to such details."

Shen Jun was a little unhappy. Although she and Feng Ting were not on the same page, and Feng Ting often spoke ill of her behind her back because of the issue of professional title evaluation.

But Shen Yun couldn't accept her son's words about his mother. She sighed and prepared to go find Xiang Jun, when she suddenly paused. Who else could that tall girl a few steps in front of Feng Ting be but Xiang Jun? Xiang Jun had a unique air about her; Shen Yun had never seen a girl with such a straight back.

With Yan Yue standing to Xiang Jun's side, Shen Jun felt slightly relieved. She remembered that Yan Yue had asked her earlier if she wanted a fruit drink, and she had even offered to buy it for her, but unexpectedly, Yan Yue had gone to queue up first.

"Teacher Shen, what has Chen Xiao been up to lately?" Jia Hao asked, stepping forward as he saw Shen Jun standing to the side.

Shen Jun initially didn't want to talk to him because of his comments about his mother. But since he had already come over, Shen Jun replied casually, "Do your own thing, I didn't ask you what exactly you were doing."

She indeed didn't ask about Chen Xiao's affairs. Junxiao Group was involved in too many industries now, and it would be pointless for her to ask, as she didn't understand many of them. She would be better off spending that time on teaching and nurturing students.

"Do it yourself? In this environment, I suggest that if you can avoid doing it yourself, then do it yourself—"

Shen Jun glanced at him but didn't speak, showing no interest in continuing. However, Jia Hao had been doing quite well at work recently, so he was eager to share his career-related insights.

"Many of my classmates who chose to do things on their own these past few days have failed—"

Shen Jun was displeased by these words; wasn't this a curse on her Chen Xiao? Her tone immediately turned cold: "Could it be that your classmates are just unlucky?"

Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Jia Hao continued, "Teacher Shen, haven't you heard the meme online? It says that the end of entrepreneurship is debt, and the end of a boss is a deadbeat—that's exactly what the current economic environment is like. Doing business is extremely dangerous; one wrong step and it's hard to get back up."

Shen Jun frowned. Did Feng Ting's child not know how to speak? She was a little annoyed. It was fine for her to say "herself," but she wouldn't allow her to say "her own child."

"Jia Hao, you didn't finish what you said. There's another part, it seems, that goes something like, 'The end of working is paying off loans.' If you believe that, you might as well give up on life; you won't be good at anything."

Jia Hao's girlfriend, Liu Li, glanced at Shen Yun, shook her head with a cold smile, and said, "Jia Hao, we're on different levels. Don't waste your breath. There's a saying—it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."

Shen Jun turned away angrily. "Birds of a feather flock together," this saying is absolutely true. Jia Hao and this Liu Li are truly a "perfect match," but Teacher Feng is in for a rough time.

Jia Hao was about to speak again when a fragrant breeze wafted by, and he felt someone approaching. He turned around and froze.

My goodness! Is this a fairy descended from heaven? How can there be such a beautiful girl?
Liu Li pulled him back and pinched him hard before he came to his senses. He was still shocked; this beautiful woman looked like she had stepped out of a painting.

Suddenly, the beautiful woman called out to Shen Yun, "Mom—"

Jia Hao was startled again. What was going on? Didn't Teacher Shen only have Chen Xiao as her son? Had she adopted a goddaughter?
Shen Jun's mood immediately improved upon seeing Xiang Jun, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Mom, I bought one avocado flavor and one mango flavor. Which one do you like?" Zhao Xiangjun asked Shen Yun, carrying two cups of fruit drinks.

"I'm fine with anything, I'm fine with anything—" Shen Yun glanced smugly at Jia Hao. Look at my daughter-in-law, she'll crush you in a second.

“You usually like to eat mangoes, so how about mango? I didn’t ask for ice. You’re prone to feeling cold, so you shouldn’t drink anything cold,” Zhao Xiangjun said, handing over the mango-flavored drink.

Liu Li, standing to the side, looked at Zhao Xiangjun with jealousy, remaining silent. She was usually considered a beauty, but in Zhao Xiangjun's presence, she felt flawed in every way.

At this moment, Feng Ting also came back with a new drink without ice. Seeing the beautiful girl standing next to Shen Jun who had attracted the attention of all the men present, she handed the drink to Liu Li and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Shen, who is this?"

Shen Yun couldn't stop smiling. She rarely showed off in her life, but today she couldn't help herself. "This is my daughter-in-law—"

"Xiangjun, this is my colleague, Teacher Feng—"

Feng Ting and Jia Hao were both stunned. Such a beautiful girl was actually Chen Xiao's girlfriend?
Why should he, Chen Xiao, be worthy of such a beauty? She's not someone an ordinary man like him. At that moment, Zhao Xiangjun, having heard Shen Yun's introduction, turned to Feng Ting and called out, "Hello, Aunt Feng!"

Feng Ting suddenly felt that her daughter-in-law wasn't so appealing anymore. Thinking back to how she had boasted about her daughter-in-law to Shen Jun, she really wished she could turn back time and never have met someone as good as Shen Jun. She was still unconvinced about her daughter-in-law's teaching ability; but compared to her daughter-in-law, even if she didn't want to admit it, the difference was too great, and she couldn't deny the fact even if she wanted to.

Liu Li probably sensed Feng Ting's change in mood and felt quite displeased. She glanced at the fruit drink in her hand and said with some dissatisfaction, "I don't like grape flavor, I want avocado flavor too—"

Ah—, Feng Ting's face turned bright red. It was unclear whether it was from anger or shame at being compared to Shen Jun.

“Ask Jia Hao, I rarely eat grapes,” Liu Li complained.

Shen Jun couldn't stand it anymore. This was already like this before they were even married. How would Teacher Feng live after she married Jia Hao?

Feng Ting looked at Jia Hao, who sighed, "Mom, really, why didn't you ask Lily what flavors she wanted when you were queuing up? You went through all that trouble queuing, only to end up buying something Lily doesn't like."

"Yes, yes. Mom's getting senile, I'll go queue again—" Feng Ting turned around, and Shen Yun saw that her eyes seemed to be filled with tears. Teacher Feng, who was usually such a strong person, was actually making such a sacrifice to avoid conflict between her son and daughter-in-law.

"Aunt Feng—"

Feng Ting stopped and turned to look at Zhao Xiangjun, who had called out to her.

"Mine is made with avocado, and I didn't add ice. You can have it, though."

Glancing at the fruit drink shop over there, where the line had grown even longer, Feng Ting looked at Zhao Xiangjun and asked, "But what about you?"

"It's okay, I can just have her grape-flavored one, I quite like it—"

Shen Yun glanced at her. This child rarely drinks grape-flavored beverages. (End of Chapter)
