My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Feng Feifei’s Invitation

She was excited, but Chen Xiao was even more excited than she was!

The more Dr. Feng’s Robot grew, the more business he could secure. His chance to make a killing was just around the corner!

He wasn’t worried about the 150 million needed to purchase the industrial park. After all, it came with several existing buildings and a full 40 acres of land. Plus, they were a high-tech company with active projects and a wealth of intellectual property, which made them eligible for a bank loan.

Besides, the company’s cash flow was more than sufficient.

Dr. Feng’s Robot had many advantages. Its video search technology was still top-tier in the country.

And since video streams generated the most data, the potential and application scenarios were even greater.

She never imagined that in less than a month, the company would develop to a level she previously wouldn’t have dared to dream of. Looking back now at her old vision for the company...

Her initial goal was simply to keep the company alive. It was, after all, her father’s life’s work.

Back then, her dream was to build it into a small but refined company—a pure software firm with modest revenue but decent profits.

But in just over half a month, everything had changed. Supported by a huge influx of orders and with the supply chain now connected, she had new options.

She could fully embrace Chen Xiao’s vision, investing in R&D in more fields and even venturing into smart equipment manufacturing!

A pure software company could only provide services, empowering manufacturers with AI but never touching the core profit zones. A company like that could never grow truly large.

But once they entered fields like smart equipment manufacturing, it would mean achieving complete vertical integration of their product line. Only a company like that could grow big and strong, perhaps even stand at the pinnacle of the world.

Of course, Feng Feifei hadn’t dared to think that far yet. It would require enormous capital and business volume to support such a dream.

Just because she didn’t think it, didn’t mean Chen Xiao didn’t. As Junxiao Capital continued to expand and his own influence grew, he would surely push Dr. Feng’s Robot to soar to new heights.

"Chen Xiao, find some time this week. I’d like to treat you to dinner, just the two of us!"

Feng Feifei’s dark eyes were crystal clear and sparkling as she stared at Chen Xiao, a faint blush on her cheeks.

It was the first time she had ever asked a man to dinner, even if he was her colleague.

She had been wanting to for a while, but her shyness and reserve had kept her from speaking up. Today, she had said it on impulse.

Having said it, she felt a sense of relief, her heart at ease.

"Sure. I’ll check my schedule for a free evening and let you know in advance."

"Okay!" Feng Feifei lowered her gaze, her slender fingers stroking her water glass restlessly.

Her mind was clearly racing. ’He’s just brushing me off, isn’t he? Shouldn’t he have suggested ’no time like the present’? That tonight would be perfect?’

Chen Xiao seemed to have read her mind. "Tonight, I’m mainly meeting with President Guoqiang from Central Inspection and President Cha from Zhi Fei Aerospace. How about you join us?"

"Oh, then you go ahead. We’ll find another time for just the two of us!" Feng Feifei’s mood instantly brightened. So he already had plans.

Sitting in Yuan Kai’s little Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Hou Fei smiled. "Not bad, Yuan. Driving a Mercedes-Benz, very classy!"

Yuan Kai felt a little awkward, remembering how Ma Jing had humble-bragged at him.

He was much more low-key now. "It’s just a car to get around. It’s nothing special."

Hou Fei chuckled. "Still, it’s not bad. I’m thinking of buying a car recently, too. Haven’t decided what to get yet."

"President Hou, you should at least get a Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It’s the only thing that would match your status!"

"Haha, I was thinking the same thing..."

’My ass,’ Yuan Kai thought. ’What kind of status does an E-Class represent? Lots of people who drive for weddings buy that car.’

On the surface, Yuan Kai was all smiles, but inside, he was roasting him.

It was also Yuan Kai’s first time at Bailu Manor. In the past, Dr. Feng’s Robot hadn’t been profitable enough, and their client entertainment budget wasn’t high. They would never have come to a place like Bailu Manor.

The car stopped. He followed Hou Fei into the restaurant and was led by a waiter to the private room his friend had booked in advance.

Upon entering, he saw that a man and a woman had already arrived.

The man was, of course, Hou Fei’s friend, Ji Hua. He had never seen the woman before.

Hou Fei immediately greeted them warmly, "President Ji, this must be Mr. Gao, then?"

Before Ji Hua could speak, the woman, who looked to be in her early thirties, smiled and said, "My surname is Li, Li Man. Mr. Gao is a big shot. He wouldn’t show up this early!"

Ji Hua helped with the introductions. Li Man was in the renovation business, a big boss in her own right.

Hou Fei quickly apologized, "My apologies, President Li. A pleasure to meet you!"

Ji Hua added, "I could never get someone like Mr. Gao to come out. It’s only thanks to President Li that he was willing to join us today."

Li Man put on a display of modesty. "Mr. Gao only humors me once in a while!"

But her proud expression and demeanor made it clear that being able to secure a meeting with Mr. Gao gave her a great deal of face.

Ji Hua then introduced Hou Fei, describing him as a PhD who had returned from Germany and a leading expert in the field of AI.

When it came to Yuan Kai’s turn, Hou Fei just said, "Xiao Yuan, he works for me."

Yuan Kai cursed inwardly. ’Damn it, this guy doesn’t even know how to introduce someone. Does saying I work for you make you look so great?’

Li Man suggested they play a round of cards, calling it a mandatory pre-dinner ritual.

Hou Fei had learned to play after returning to the country. The group sat down, and Hou Fei, of course, had Yuan Kai serve tea before joining them for the game.

During the game, Hou Fei also asked about Mr. Gao.

Li Man smiled. "Mr. Gao made his name in the real estate industry, and now he’s moved into the currently booming new energy vehicle sector. You could say he makes the right move every time."
