Chapter 22: A God-given Talent

Actually, he didn't know what was going on either.

After receiving a call from the Vice President of China Inspection Equipment Co., Ltd., the man introduced himself and stated that they were coming to negotiate business today, with a total order value of no less than 6 million yuan.

His attitude was so sincere that Yuan Kai even thought he was the client and the other party was practically begging him to accept.

Never mind Feng Feifei's confusion; even Yuan Kai, with ten years of experience in sales, had never encountered anything like this.

He couldn't wrap his head around it—perhaps this was just a stroke of divine luck!

If he performed well tomorrow, he would essentially be tied to a major client, and he would also receive heavy praise from President Feng!

A bright future and limitless wealth!

Overwhelmed with emotion, he finally made a suggestion to the company: to show respect to the delegation from China Inspection Equipment Co., Ltd., all relevant department heads should participate in tomorrow's meeting.

This included pre-sales, R&D, after-sales, business development, and even administration, who would attend to arrange lunch.

To avoid dampening his enthusiasm and to show respect to the client, Feng Feifei agreed!

This time, Chen Xiao became an outsider. Due to Yuan Kai's deliberate arrangements, all work for the business department was assigned to Ma Jing to coordinate!

When Chen Xiao closed his 6 million yuan order, Ma Jing hadn't joined the company yet; this time, she could feel the atmosphere!

She said to Yuan Kai with great enthusiasm, "Manager, you are truly impressive! Your moves are extraordinary!"

Yuan Kai said proudly, "It's a small matter. These minor orders are insignificant. I'm not like some people who let their heads get stuck in the clouds after a tiny bit of success!"

"You have to realize that luck only lasts a moment, but ability is what brings longevity!"

"Chen Xiao, do you understand what I mean?"

Playing a game, Chen Xiao looked up and said, "Manager, you're a bit off."

"Off how?"

"It should be: drugs only last a moment, but endurance is what brings longevity!"

*Holy mother, who are you implying?* Yuan Kai actually felt a bit guilty.

After work, he went home. Since he had eaten lunch late, he wasn't hungry at all at this hour and didn't feel like going downstairs to eat.

Thinking about the two steamed buns left over from his weekend takeout, he prepared to microwave them and eat them with some pickled vegetables.

Just as he took the buns out, he heard a knock at the door.

"Chen Xiao, let me use your computer. My laptop has a blue screen and I can't use it!"

Zhao Xiangjun's laptop had broken, and she had a document halfway finished that she needed to submit urgently.

"Go ahead, just turn it on. There's no password!"

Chen Xiao had a desktop in the corner of the first-floor living room. Zhao Xiangjun hesitated for a moment before entering the room, only to see Chen Xiao's dinner!

"Is this all you're eating tonight?"

"Yeah, I'm not hungry, so I didn't want to go down to eat."

He was just trying to save face. It was simply because his salary was low and he hadn't received his commission yet, so he had no money.

"I cooked too much food tonight and can't finish it. Help me finish some of it."

"You cook too?"

"Yes. Except for when I'm in a rush in the morning, I basically cook for myself. Outside food doesn't taste good!"

"Alright then, I'll take advantage of your chef skills today." He didn't think much of it; he was simply lazy and didn't want to move, but having real food was definitely better than pickled vegetables!

Zhao Xiangjun went back to her room and returned with a plate of braised pork ribs, a steamed sea bass, and some broccoli!

"Such a feast for dinner!"

"Just eat your food. I'm working!" Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him.

"My god, Chen Xiao, is this a dog kennel?" He saw a pile of things stacked in the corner of the living room.

He hadn't tidied up since moving in, mainly because many of his old belongings were no longer used, so he hadn't bothered to organize them.

Her expression of being unable to tolerate him made Chen Xiao's face flush. After a long pause, he said, "What's the rush? I'll tidy up slowly!"

"I'm truly speechless with you!"

She squatted down. "You don't have any private items here, right? I'll help you organize!"

"No, go ahead!"

"Hey, do you really take me for a maid? You agreed so readily?"

"I'm not a high-maintenance person to begin with!"

Fine, Zhao Xiangjun was defeated by his matter-of-fact attitude and accepted the task.

As she bowed her head to tidy up, Chen Xiao sat on the sofa eating, unable to help but occasionally glance at her perfect silhouette.

Her black hair fell to her waist, and beneath her slender waist were curves as rounded as millstones—exaggerated yet perfectly proportioned, making his mouth go dry!

As if by telepathy, she turned around just as she caught Chen Xiao's somewhat infatuated gaze.

She felt a bit flustered and quickly stood up; she knew how much of a powerful temptation she was to men.

"Alright, I've organized it for you. Put things back where they belong yourself!"

She pretended to be nonchalant and sat by the computer to continue her work.

*Ding~! Zhao Xiangjun provided dinner to the host at a cost of 50 yuan. Activating the Opposite-Sex Blessing Fund. Cashback: 4,800 yuan!*

*Huh? This works too? Zhao Xiangjun, do you realize how good you are at saving money for yourself!*

He pulled up the system panel, and sure enough

[Opposite-Sex Blessing Fund: Zhao Xiangjun (Professionalism: 96)] [Occupation: Gold Medal Salesperson at Yirui Business Menswear] [Professional Blessing Fund: 225,600 yuan]

"Zhao Xiangjun, I'm getting my bonus tomorrow. I'll pay you back!"

His bonus would definitely be paid next month. He was afraid she wouldn't accept it; from their interactions over the past few days, he had learned a bit about her financial situation.

Working alone, her salary plus sales commission was a little over ten thousand yuan. She had to send 5,000 yuan home every month and pay 1,800 yuan in rent, leaving very little for herself.

No wonder she dressed so simply. Chen Xiao hadn't thought much of it before, but after learning about her income, he knew that 2,000 yuan was not easy for her to come by!

"Hmm? Well, congratulations! You're going to strike it rich!"

Chen Xiao had told her about the 6 million yuan deal, which would bring in hundreds of thousands in bonuses.

"A few hundred thousand makes you strike it rich? Look at how little ambition you have!"

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes. For someone earning 4,000 a month, her pride was quite high; she didn't even care about hundreds of thousands.

"When I get my bonus tomorrow, I'll give you a gift. You can't refuse! You already helped me out with clothes, and I barely accepted that!"

*Barely? Have you no shame? Weren't you just taking advantage of me?* Zhao Xiangjun snorted and said, "Don't go spending money recklessly just because you earned a bit. A bonus isn't a fixed salary; who knows when the next one will come!"

Having finished her work, she felt uncomfortable staying in a man's room. She stood up and said, "I'm leaving! In the future, if I'm home and cooking, I'll make a portion for you. Save your money to buy a house and get a wife!"

The part about eating with her was true, but the second part was clearly a joke!

The next day at work, Chen Xiao didn't go straight to the company. Instead, he headed for the digital mall. After Zhao Xiangjun's laptop broke yesterday, he realized he needed one too.

Previously, he had only used desktops at work or home. He went to a Huawei experience store and bought two top-of-the-line MateBook X Pro models with the same configuration: a blue one for himself and a Dawn Pink one for Zhao Xiangjun.

Buying a gift for Zhao Xiangjun for the first time, he discovered that the system separated the two accounts very clearly. For money spent from a single card, he could automatically balance the accounts: what Zhao Xiangjun spent came from her fund, while what he spent came from his own balance.
