The Madam Chu, was a gentle and refined lady with a quiet demeanor and a soft voice. This kind of woman was the epitome of a beautiful woman kept hidden away, indifferent to worldly affairs. No wonder her son, the Second Young Master Chu, was also unambitious and pleasure-seeking.

"Secretary Song..." Madam Chu began to speak.

Song Tianyao withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and hurriedly said, "I'm also from Chiu Chow people. Madam, you can just call me A-Yao. I'm just running errands for Young Master Shun; I'm not really a secretary."

"A-Yao is so young. No wonder the master praised you as a promising young man. Ah Sin also mentioned that Likang is very fortunate to have you managing it." Madam Chu said to Song Tianyao in a gentle tone.

"It's also thanks to Chairman Chu and Young Master Shun Xin's trust in me that they gave me this opportunity."

Over there, Chu Xiaoxin had already counted the money quickly and efficiently. Sure enough, it was a huge sum of 50,000 yuan. Although he didn't care much about business, he knew that Likang's smuggling hadn't even started yet, and as for the pharmaceutical sales business, Likang didn't even have any employees right now, so it was impossible for them to start any work, let alone earn 50,000 yuan in profit.

"What are you going to do with this money? Do you want me to help you rent a boat?" Chu Xiaoxin asked as he put the money in his pocket and patted Song Tianyao on the shoulder.

What makes a qualified secretary? In his eyes, Song Tianyao is someone who can suddenly appear and give him 50,000 yuan when he only has a few hundred yuan left in his pocket. No matter what he needs to do, at least the money is in his hands, and Song Tianyao won't mind spending 10,000 yuan or so.

"What did you just swear? You swore you'd spend all 50,000 today. So, I have to say, your vow is truly admirable."

Song Tianyao said seriously to Chu Xiaoxin, who was putting the money into his pocket, "I'm not joking, it's true, I'm going to spend it today."

"My dream last night was so vivid." Chu Xiaoxin stared blankly at Song Tianyao for a few seconds before exhaling and saying, "I should have slept in a little longer and not gotten up so early."

Chapter 107 Spending Money

With money in his pocket, Chu Xiaoxin naturally stopped begging Madam Chu. Moreover, Song Tianyao must have had a reason for asking him to spend the money, so he took Song Tianyao and left. Song Tianyao said goodbye to Madam Chu and Sister Hong, and followed Chu Xiaoxin out. Madam Chu seemed to want to call out to Song Tianyao as he left, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

After her son left with Song Tianyao, Madam Chu said to Sister Hong, "Secretary Song's suit is worn out. Have Master Zheng from Feihong Shanghai Tailoring make a few suits for the three brothers, A-Zhong Ah Sin, and Ah A-Zhi, and also make two suits for Secretary Song. Put it on my tab."

"Understood, Madam," Sister Hong quickly replied.

When Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaoxin arrived at the front yard of the Chu Family, Chu Xiaoxin turned to look at Song Tianyao, Song Tianyao spread his hands and said, "Don't you recognize me?"

"Hey, what are you up to? You just sent me 50,000 yuan out of the blue? You've spent it all? Are you planning to rent a boat?" Chu Xiaoxin reached out and hooked his arm around Song Tianyao's neck, pulling the other's head to his shoulder. "My mother and I are a loving mother and son, and you're going to Flower boat to drink and pick up girls? You bastard! You're embarrassing your boss!"

Even with Chu Xiaoxin's arm around his neck, Song Tianyao remained defiant. "You said it beforehand! I can only know a person's face, not their heart. You're a notorious spendthrift! You even told Madam Chu about how I used to pick up girls and give them gold bars. I might as well just play along and actually go drinking and picking up girls?"

"You're stubborn, aren't you? You're embarrassing me and you still won't admit your mistake. Believe me or not, I'll take 50,000 yuan to the radio station and buy an ad to broadcast your embarrassing attempts at picking up girls so that everyone in Hong Kong knows about it?" Chu Xiaoxin said with a smile as he released Song Tianyao's neck after leaving the Chu Family's gate.

Song Tianyao straightened his tie and looked at his boss. "Wow, you turn your back on me as soon as you get the money, and you keep shoving the blame onto me without even blinking. It's obvious that working with a boss like you means you get to spend the money while I take the fall and suffer the most. I won't invite you to these kinds of 'good things' anymore; I'll do it myself next time."

"Is it really just spending money? Fifty thousand yuan? Not to rent a boat for smuggling?" Chu Xiaoxin asked Song Tianyao with a still suspicious tone.

"It really cost money. You invited over a dozen of your Young Masters' Club, plus Zhang Yuliang," Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin frowned. "What exactly are you up to? Do I really need 50,000 yuan to treat them to drinks? If I don't tip the singers, a few thousand yuan would be quite generous, right? 20,000 yuan would be enough to impress everyone."

"Lichi 've booked the entire Shanghai Restaurant, and I'm also buying all seven or eight of Lichi's most popular singers for their entire terms. I calculated it, and it'll probably cost over 48,000 yuan. That'll even save you over 1,000 yuan for spending money," Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin, lighting a cigarette.

Chu Xiaoxin's mouth dropped open in disbelief. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and cursed at Song Tianyao, "You bastard! I told you you're a spendthrift, but you don't believe me! I think four thousand yuan is enough to book the entire Taibai Seafood Restaurant with all the pretty girls there, book the Shanghai Restaurant at Lichi, and buy all those popular singers' full-time services? Do you think you've found a godfather? Even if the godfather is your godfather, he can't stop you from having the attitude of wanting to squander his entire fortune!"

"So, are you going to spend it or not? If you're reluctant, give me back the money, and I'll spend it myself." Song Tianyao said to Chu Xiaoxin, "If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all out. You're the boss who earned 700,000 Hong Kong dollars tonight. In your style, Young Master Shun, of course you should celebrate lavishly."

"Of course I'll spend it. It's money I borrowed myself, so I'll spend it myself." Chu Xiaoxin rolled his eyes at Song Tianyao: "I've been running Likang for so long, and I've never earned more than 100,000 yuan a month. You're telling me how much I've earned now? 700,000? I don't even believe it myself."

"Get in the car, I'll tell you slowly. Actors need to put their heart into it, Big Brother." Song Tianyao walked to the door of the Ford 49, opened the door for Chu Xiaoxin, gestured for him to come in, and said to Chu Xiaoxin.

Chu Xiaoxin clutched the 50,000 yuan at his chest, took a deep breath, and said, "I always thought I was a spendthrift, but A-Yao, after meeting you, I realize I'm actually quite frugal, damn it! This is the first time I've felt the pain of spending money! 50,000 yuan is enough for me to seduce a lot of singers into bed!"

Chu Xiaoxin actually said he felt bad about spending money? Song Tianyao's eyes widened slightly, wondering if his boss had suddenly had a change of heart, looking back on his shameful past and preparing to repent and reform?
