Chapter 23: Only Recognizing President Chen Xiao

Dr. Feng Robotics Co., Ltd.

At exactly 10:00 AM, Yuan Kai, dressed in a sharp suit, was already waiting with great anticipation!

Yang Ming had already sent him a message on the way, stating they would arrive at 10:00.

Li Guoqiang’s group consisted of only three people, accompanied by an assistant. Li Guoqiang had remained taciturn throughout the journey!

Knowing that Chen Xiao was working as a salesperson at Dr. Feng Robotics, he hadn't mentioned it to the others.

He couldn't understand why such a young tycoon would be hunkered down in a small company working as a salesman.

Perhaps this was just a rich man's eccentric hobby? He even wondered if revealing Chen Xiao's identity would ruin his plans; he certainly wasn't about to do anything that would offend people!

At the same time, he thought of a way to bridge the distance between them: in the future, any orders involving Dr. Feng Robotics could be directed to him. He could use this to build a relationship with Chen Xiao—after all, an order has to go to someone anyway!

Walking into Dr. Feng Robotics Co., Ltd.!

A banner hung in the entrance hall: "A Warm Welcome to President Li and his delegation from Jiangzhou CJ Inspection Equipment Co., Ltd. for their inspection visit!"

The young women selected from various departments on both sides welcomed them in unison with enthusiastic applause!

It was a bit excessive; since they were the ones coming to ask for favors, Li Guoqiang's face flushed slightly.

Feng Feifei personally came forward to greet him with a smile and a handshake: "Welcome, President Li, to guide our work!"

Seeing the gorgeous and vibrant General Manager, Li Guoqiang seemed to understand why President Chen would settle for a small company like this.

He flashed his most approachable smile: "You are too kind, President Feng. We look forward to your guidance!"

He glanced around but didn't see Chen Xiao, assuming he was angry and unwilling to come out!

Under Feng Feifei's guidance, the group entered the large conference room, where both parties sat on opposite sides to begin negotiations!

During the introductions, Feng Feifei first introduced the heads of the relevant departments, and finally, she turned to Yuan Kai and said, "Manager Yuan, I won't bother with a detailed introduction for you. Since you handle the business interface with them, I believe you are already well-acquainted?"

*Hmm?* Li Guoqiang whispered suspiciously to Yang Ming, "Wasn't it President Chen who handled the interface?"

Yang Ming replied, "Chen Xiao is just a salesperson. Yuan Kai is his supervisor!"

*You idiot, can't you understand? I'm interested in Chen Xiao, who the hell cares about his supervisor! You told me everything was arranged, and this is what you arranged?*

In this setting, he couldn't curse, so he simply said to Feng Feifei, "Is your company's President Chen not here?"

Everyone present was stunned, confused by the situation. Why were they looking for Chen Xiao?

Yuan Kai hurriedly said, "President Li, Chen Xiao is just a salesperson in my department. Since President Feng and I are both here today, all cooperation matters can be decided on the spot!"

Hearing Yuan Kai's words, Feng Feifei felt there was nothing wrong with that. However, she was curious as to how they knew about Chen Xiao!

"President Feng, I came here today with an order. I have researched your company's products. This time, we can provide an order worth 6 to 8 million, but we need to see President Chen! He was the one who handled the business previously."

*What's going on?* The staff at Dr. Feng Robotics all turned to glare at Yuan Kai!

"Is Yuan Kai trying to hijack Chen Xiao's business? That's a pretty ugly way to behave."

"Chen Xiao is so influential that they are naming him specifically and bringing an order to his doorstep?"

Feng Feifei was sharp and immediately sensed something was wrong; Yuan Kai was definitely hiding something.

She didn't know that Yuan Kai was also bewildered. He only knew that Yang Ming said they were coming with an order, but they hadn't mentioned looking for Chen Xiao. He thought luck had fallen from the sky, but now...

He could only bite the bullet and say, "President Li, President Yang, Chen Xiao didn't come into the company this morning. Since you are both already here, why don't we discuss the business first, and I will arrange for Chen Xiao to visit you later?"

Li Guoqiang said to Feng Feifei, "President Feng, we can wait, but if President Chen does not show up, we will not discuss this order!"

No one expected this, and no one knew why Chen Xiao was so important!

Feng Feifei had someone call Chen Xiao and ask him to return.

Yuan Kai sat there as if on pins and needles! He thought luck had fallen from the sky, but it turned out to be a dark cloud hanging over his head!

When Chen Xiao received the call, he was alone at Starbucks drinking coffee. Hearing that Li Guoqiang specifically requested him, he wasn't surprised at all!

If they had signed the order while he was away, it would have been a total loss!

The place wasn't far from the company; he arrived in a leisurely ten-minute drive.

When he walked into the meeting room, Li Guoqiang stood up immediately, followed closely by Yang Ming!

This startled the people at Dr. Feng Robotics, making them think some high-ranking official had arrived!

When they saw it was Chen Xiao, they couldn't understand how he had managed to command such respect from people like Li Guoqiang!

"Is the deal done?" He pulled up a chair and sat down, asking.

Li Guoqiang said, "We have been waiting for you. Shall we begin?"

Feng Feifei remained silent, observing the facial expressions of the two men. She noticed that Li Guoqiang was almost fawning toward Chen Xiao!

"Then hurry up and talk. We'll go eat in a bit; I'm starving!"

Li Guoqiang immediately had Yang Ming bring out the procurement plan, handing the printed copies to Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei!

As for Yuan Kai, it seemed no one was paying attention to him; it was quite awkward!

"Our procurement this time involves a total of 7.8 million. Regarding the specific quotes, please take a look and see if there is anything that needs adjustment."

This was Feng Feifei's first time negotiating business like this, and she felt slightly unaccustomed to how smoothly it was going. She looked seriously at the figures; the quotes were reasonable, and the profit margin was good.

Mainly, CJ Inspection had not taken too much of the profit this time.

"President Li, this is 7.8 million for equipment procurement. I see that your business also includes drone inspection services. We can handle service-based work as well!"

"Ah? President Chen, that would be even better! That 1.2 million service order plus the 7.8 million procurement brings the total to 9 million. We can finalize it today! What do you two think?"

Chen Xiao turned to ask Feng Feifei, "President Feng, what do you think?"

"No problem, we will proceed according to your and President Li's suggestions!"

"Alright then. Leave someone behind to finalize the contract details, and let's go eat. I'm starving!" Chen Xiao stood up and stretched.

The group looked at each other in disbelief. *Is he really this arrogant? Neither of the two bosses has even spoken!*

Feng Feifei looked toward Li Guoqiang, who immediately chimed in, "Then we shall trouble you. Our Yang Ming will stay behind!"

Naturally, they left the capable Yuan Kai behind as well. Chen Xiao and Feng Feifei accompanied Li Guoqiang to the restaurant.

Sitting in the business vehicle, Chen Xiao turned to Li Guoqiang and said, "President Li, regarding what we discussed yesterday, there are basically no issues. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation ahead!"

He knew that this referred, on one hand, to the timely payment of rent, and on the other, hinted at future cooperation with Dr. Feng Robotics.

"President Chen, let me make my position clear: as long as you have a need, I will cooperate fully. In the future, all business related to Dr. Feng Robotics will be handed entirely to us!"

Feng Feifei also chimed in at the right moment to express her thanks. To her, Li Guoqiang was naturally very polite—after all, she was Chen Xiao's apparent superior, and more importantly, she was likely his dream woman!
