Chapter 21: Yuan Kai's Order

Upon arriving at Li Guoqiang's office, he invited Chen Xiao and the other one to sit down first while he went to retrieve the operating reports. He felt it was necessary to show Chen Xiao the company's financial status to boost his confidence regarding his repayment ability!

As soon as Li Guoqiang stepped out, while the two were taking a sip of water, someone knocked and entered.

"Huh? Why is it you again? I told you yesterday there were no opportunities for cooperation, and yet you come running back today to beg President Li?"

The person entering was none other than the Vice President, Yang Ming!

Chen Xiao simply looked at him with a smile. Today, he was here in his capacity as the landlord—the tables had turned!

*Should I show off a bit and lay my cards on the table?*

"I'm telling you, it's useless to look for anyone. If I say we aren't cooperating, we aren't cooperating. Stop wasting time here."

Thinking about how Yang Ming had eaten with Xu Wu, including the deliberate intimacy shown at the company, a fire burned in his heart. He had been eyeing Xu Wu for a long time, yet he hadn't even shared a single meal with her.

This kid was something else—eating together, walking hand-in-hand... he was practically daring him to teach him a lesson. From now on, any business taken on by China Inspection or any business involving Dr. Feng's Robotics would find them unwelcome!

"President Yang seems to be chasing people away!" Chen Xiao said with a meaningful smile.

"Just leave quickly. Let's not waste each other's time!"

"Fine! Ma Jing, let's go!"

Seeing Chen Xiao leave without any lingering attachment, Yang Ming cursed under his breath, "At least you know when to quit!"

A short while later, Li Guoqiang entered with a stack of reports, only to find that Chen Xiao was gone. Yang Ming was sitting in the chair opposite his desk, waiting for him.

He asked, "Where is President Chen?"

*President Chen?* Yang Ming didn't react immediately. Once he processed it, he said, "Boss, are you talking about that idiot salesman from Dr. Feng's Robotics?"

"What 'Doctor'? He's a post-doc? I'm talking about President Chen Xiao!"

*Damn, he's quite good at inflating his own status.* Yang Ming's first reaction was that Chen Xiao was bragging about his identity. Indeed, otherwise, how would he be qualified to meet the General Manager? No wonder he brought an assistant today to save face.

He had to expose him. Yang Ming sneered, "President Chen Xiao my ass. He's just an idiot salesman!"

Li Guoqiang frowned as he listened to the explanation. Yang Ming proceeded to embellish the story of Chen Xiao coming yesterday to negotiate business on behalf of Dr. Feng's Robotics.

After understanding the whole situation, Li Guoqiang had a general idea of what was happening. First, there was no doubt that Chen Xiao was the landlord, but he also concurrently served as a salesman for Dr. Feng's Robotics.

The world is truly vast and full of wonders; to be that wealthy and still work as a salesman—he really was someone seeking "life experiences."

"Where is President Chen now?"

Yang Ming found it strange that the boss was still calling him President Chen, and replied, "I chased that idiot away!"

What? As if struck by a bolt of lightning, Li Guoqiang's face instantly flushed red!

"You... chased... him... away?" He asked word by word, each syllable feeling as heavy as lead.

Not knowing why his boss was so agitated, Yang Ming simply nodded.

"Yang Ming, you are a fucking idiot! Go back immediately and chase President Chen back for me! If you can't bring him back, don't bother coming back at all—just hand in your resignation yourself!"

Naturally, he couldn't bring him back; the man had left ten minutes ago. Li Guoqiang had no time to explain the situation, and Yang Ming was equally bewildered, unable to understand why his boss placed such importance on Chen Xiao!

"This is your last chance. Immediately contact Dr. Feng's Robotics and arrange for us to visit their company to apologize in person! Bring all the business orders we have that are related to Dr. Feng. You must obtain their forgiveness, otherwise, pack your bags and get out!"

The reason he had to contact Dr. Feng's Robotics was that Li Guoqiang hadn't had time to exchange contact information with Chen Xiao, and Yang Ming had thrown his business card in the trash yesterday.

"Understood, Boss. I also have other matters to report to you!"

"Get lost! Until this matter is resolved, put all other matters aside! Damn it, you useless eater!"

Flushed with embarrassment, Yang Ming returned to his office. He rushed to organize a list of order requirements while simultaneously making phone calls to schedule a visit!

"Brother Chen Xiao, what's going on?" Ma Jing asked from the passenger seat.

"It's nothing. They'll come looking for us!"

Even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter. They could just hurry up and pay the rent. Isn't 2 million in rent a sweet deal?

***

In the afternoon, at Dr. Feng's Robotics Co., Ltd.

Chen Xiao sat in a corner playing LOL, while Ma Jing studied the company materials, occasionally glancing toward Chen Xiao.

She hadn't expected Chen Xiao to be so focused when he was "working."

Yuan Kai took a phone call, and when he returned, he seemed like a completely different person!

He rushed excitedly into Feng Feifei's office.

"President Feng, I've secured a deal! It's an estimated 6-million-yuan order. The other company's CEO is coming to the company tomorrow to finalize the cooperation details!"

Feng Feifei was surprised. Had business become this easy lately? But she didn't doubt him, as Yuan Kai was a veteran in sales.

"Which company? If their General Manager is coming, we need to prepare the reception!"

"China Inspection Equipment Co., Ltd. They are one of the larger general contractors here in Jiangzhou!"

She knew this company; they had business contacts, but they had never successfully cooperated. She hadn't expected Yuan Kai to close the deal this time.

Chen Xiao had just secured 6 million, and now here was another 6 million. Double happiness in just a few days!

Feng Feifei was also very excited. "Manager Yuan, you are in full charge of the reception. I will assist you!"

Following this, every department in the company began to move under Yuan Kai's organization!

"Reception, listen up. When the guests arrive tomorrow, you must greet them like this..."

"Administration, get tomorrow's lunch ordered. Let me see the menu selection..."

"HR, we'll be short-handed for the reception tomorrow. Pull some people to help out!"

"IT, ensure that the conference room equipment doesn't have any issues tomorrow..."

"Ma Jing..."

"Chen Xiao, forget it. Don't even show up tomorrow. Go out and do your sales!"

He originally wanted to boss him around, but then thought it was better not to let such a major client come into contact with him.

The rest of the company had no idea what was happening, only knowing that they had to host important figures tomorrow.

Later, Yuan Kai "accidentally" let slip that he had landed a massive order. Good heavens, he was a hero now!

Seeing that Chen Xiao had also closed a multi-million deal, President Feng was praising him to high heaven. Even his flaws were turned into virtues; his freckles were now called "sunspots."

"Incredible! The company is about to take off. We've done over 10 million in orders in just a few days! I heard we didn't even do that much in all of last year!"

"Fortune comes after adversity! With sales elites like Manager Yuan and Chen Xiao, promotions and raises are just around the corner!"

"I heard Manager Yuan's deal is also 6 million, and their CEO is coming personally to finalize it. That's a level of prestige Chen Xiao can't match!"

"That's why they say Manager Yuan is a leader while Chen Xiao is just a salesman. There's still a gap in their experience!"

Yuan Kai spent the afternoon visiting various departments from his office, naturally reaping plenty of praise!

"Manager Yuan is amazing! The company's development wouldn't be possible without you!"

"Manager Yuan, I think you'll be promoted to Director very soon given your massive contribution to the company!"

Receiving so much praise for the first time, he felt like he was walking on air!
