My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 168: Chapter 158: Generous Rewards

Dude, that’s not a very funny joke.

When Chen Xiao said he was a salesman, Zhang Jun’s jaw dropped, thinking he had to be kidding.

"You’re kidding. A mere salesman isn’t fit to have dinner with Feifei!"

’What’s that supposed to mean? Are salesmen not human?’

He was on the verge of snapping back at him. It occurred to him that very few of Feng Feifei’s classmates were normal. They’d spent a few years abroad and learned nothing good, instead returning with a whole host of bad habits.

’Did they go abroad for an education or to get brainwashed?’

Feng Feifei quickly interjected, "Chen Xiao is our company’s top salesman!"

Zhang Jun just grunted, "Oh." ’So what if he’s the top salesman? He’s still just a salesman, isn’t he?’

To the average person, a "top salesman" was just someone with slightly better sales figures. He could have wracked his brain and never guessed just how much of a monster Chen Xiao really was.

The size of his orders was simply obscene.

"Keep up the good work! In a bit, I’ll introduce Feifei to some industry titans—all of them are company owners. You can tag along and expand your network. An opportunity like this doesn’t come around for you every day!"

He spoke with a pompous, condescending air.

Chen Xiao smiled. "Great, then I really must thank you! President Feng’s classmates are truly remarkable. President Zhang and President Hou are like two peas in a pod, a pair of titans for the ages!"

Feng Feifei caught the sarcasm in his tone, but it went right over Zhang Jun’s head.

He asked, "Who’s President Hou?"

Chen Xiao replied, "Hou Fei. Isn’t he a classmate of yours? You all came back from Germany. Hou Fei was also President Feng’s senior at school."

"Fuck, that moron? Don’t you dare lump me in with him!"

Zhang Jun couldn’t even maintain his refined demeanor in front of Feng Feifei, which, funnily enough, made Chen Xiao see him in a slightly better light.

At least when it came to their mutual dislike of Hou Fei, the two of them were in complete agreement.

’They had reached a consensus on Hou Fei: he’s a moron. A perfectly succinct summary!’

Feng Feifei felt awkward. When she first interviewed Hou Fei, she had thought he was quite gentle and refined. But after he’d been with the company for a while, she realized he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

However, his technical skills were solid, so putting him in charge of the tech side was fine. The plan, though, was to eventually separate the business department from his oversight.

Zhang Jun turned back to Feng Feifei. "Hou Fei works at your company? Take my advice and get rid of him, quickly. The guy has zero talent for anything except pissing people off. Just thinking about him makes me want to puke!"

Looking at him, Chen Xiao thought his reaction was even more intense than his own. ’Is Hou Fei’s venom brewed at White Camel Manor or something?’

Now that Chen Xiao had arrived, Feng Feifei turned to Zhang Jun. "Don’t you have your own guests to entertain?"

Zhang Jun knew she was kicking him out. He was a little annoyed, but he did indeed have many important guests to attend to. "Alright, I’ll head back over for now. I’ll come get you for the introductions later!"

Feng Feifei nodded in thanks and saw him to the door.

When she returned, she gestured for Chen Xiao to sit.

"Sorry about that. Looks like you have to be the sucker today."

Chen Xiao knew she was teasing him about his comment from earlier in the day. He just smiled, not taking the bait. ’I can’t believe she holds a grudge like that.’

"Want some red wine tonight, Chen Xiao?"

Chen Xiao replied, "Let’s skip the alcohol. You’re driving, and I’m driving. Besides, neither of us are big drinkers."

Feng Feifei said, "That’s true. But when Zhang Jun takes us to meet those industry people later, it’ll be hard to avoid drinking."

"Why do we have to drink? You’re the general manager. You shouldn’t have to run around schmoozing for business in the future."

He left one thing unsaid: that a girl like her wasn’t suited for such occasions.

Feng Feifei shot him a grateful look. "But that wouldn’t be right. It would seem impolite and could cause trouble for you when you’re trying to make deals later."

Tch! Chen Xiao shook his head. "Am I really hurting for a few measly deals?"

Feng Feifei tilted her head, considering it. He had a point, didn’t he?

It had gotten to the point where clients were literally lining up at the company to sign contracts, some ridiculously showing up with their official company seals ready to go. There were even clients being turned away because their proposed orders were too small.

Chen Xiao had truly set a new precedent for the entire industry!

Thinking about all this, she couldn’t help but chuckle. "I really have no idea how you do it."

Of course, Chen Xiao couldn’t explain the real reason. Instead, he put on an innocent expression. "How should I know? It’s like these orders are cursed. The more I turn them down, the more of them there are!"

"It’s so stressful I can barely sleep at night!"

Seeing his exaggerated theatrics, Feng Feifei let out a snort of laughter. She was as radiant as a spring blossom, so lovely she seemed to glow.

She found that having dinner with him was both relaxing and joyful.

It wasn’t just the happiness that came from the mountain of orders he brought in; she found Chen Xiao to be a genuinely authentic person, without a hint of pretense.

There was no distance between them; being with him felt like catching up with an old friend over drinks, sharing secrets from the heart.

"Chen Xiao, we’re moving into Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park soon. Forget the annex buildings for a moment—what are we going to do with that 28-story office tower? There are so few of us. A single floor would be more than enough!"

Chen Xiao replied, "You need to look at it from a growth perspective. Before you know it, you might land a huge project, need to hire more people, and then even a single building won’t be enough!"

DING! Mission issued: Within one month, secure a business deal that requires Dr. Feng’s Robot to expand its team by more than 2,000 people.

[Mission Reward 1: Electric Vehicle Motor and Power Electronics Technology]

[Mission Reward 2: Constitution +5, Endurance +5, health +5]

[Mission Reward 3: Daily Basic Stipend Level +2, Diligence Point +10]

Chen Xiao was stunned. The rewards were incredibly generous, which of course meant the mission’s difficulty was anything but ordinary. What kind of project would require expanding the team by 2,000 people?

If he managed to get these mission rewards, his power would skyrocket. With Constitution, Endurance, and health all over 100, he’d practically be immune to all diseases.

’Daily Basic Stipend Level +2 and Diligence Point +10... that’s equivalent to a three-level jump in my daily basic stipend all at once. Just how insane is that?’
