Chapter 171: Chapter 159: Call Me Daddy

Hiss—!

Holy crap!

So, Junxiao Capital was backing Dr. Feng’s Robot?

Everyone reacted differently, but they were all mentally dissecting the key aspects of the situation. They began to consider whether they would need to get in touch with Junxiao Capital in the future, and if there might be an opportunity to leverage a connection to Dr. Feng’s Robot.

"Hey, Qian already went to give a toast. I should go too. After all, you can never have too many friends!"

"Wait, Huang, I’ll go with you!"

When Liu saw this, he thought, ’Well, well, you guys are even trying to beat me to it. The flattery is just shameless, utterly shameless!’

"Let’s go together, let’s go together!"

The group in the private room departed in a great, surging procession. It was only when they were out the door that they realized they didn’t know which room Feng Feifei and her party were in.

They went back inside, and Liu sent a text to Zhang Jun to ask.

Meanwhile, in Feng Feifei’s private room, Zhang Jun had just led President Qian in.

Feng Feifei looked on in confusion at President Qian, who had just caused such an unpleasant scene. What was going on, with him now bowing and scraping his way over to offer a toast?

Chen Xiao watched with cold eyes and said nothing. ’He knew President Qian must have found out who I am,’ he thought. ’Otherwise, he wouldn’t be this terrified.’

"President Feng, President Chen! That was a classic case of not recognizing one of our own just now. That’s just how I am, sigh... I’m terribly sorry. I, Qian, am here to make amends. I’ll punish myself with a drink first!"

Both Zhang Jun and Feng Feifei were a bit confused. What was wrong with President Qian?

It’s hard to stay mad at a smiling face. Although President Qian’s previous attitude toward Chen Xiao had infuriated Feng Feifei, the man had come to their door to apologize, and she couldn’t just ignore him.

Still, her expression wasn’t pleasant. She stood and said, "President Qian, let’s skip the alcohol, shall we? After all, we’re all drinking soft drinks!"

Hearing this, President Qian couldn’t tell if she was being sincere or intentionally trying to needle him. Without a word, he downed the two-liang serving of liquor from his decanter in one go.

After finishing, he turned his cup upside down. "President Feng, President Chen, I, Qian, sincerely apologize to you both!"

Feng Feifei glanced at Chen Xiao and saw him sitting there, perfectly at ease, watching President Qian’s performance.

Zhang Jun didn’t know why President Qian was acting this way, but seeing Chen Xiao remain seated, he felt the young man was being incredibly rude.

"Xiao Chen," he said, "even if President Qian offended you earlier, he’s come to toast and apologize. Your boss is standing, yet you’re still sitting. Don’t you have any manners at all?"

"Do you think President Qian came here for you? He’s doing this out of respect for President Feng and me!"

Before Chen Xiao could even sneer, President Qian, terrified, quickly interjected, "No, no, President Chen! If you’re not satisfied, just tell me what it will take to appease you. I, Qian, will do it without a second thought!"

Zhang Jun was stunned. ’Has Qian gone senile?’ he thought. ’He’s just a salesman. What are you so nervous about?’

At this, Chen Xiao chuckled. "President Qian, there’s no need for all this. The main issue is that a salesman like me isn’t worthy of drinking with you. I don’t know how to kneel, nor do I just call anyone ’Dad’!"

Zhang Jun snapped angrily, "Chen Xiao, don’t push your luck!"

Feng Feifei, however, didn’t blame Chen Xiao for his harsh words. After all, this man Qian had been the arrogant one earlier. She was just wondering where Chen Xiao got this confidence from.

Chen Xiao noticed her confusion and sneered. "This is President Qian from XX Company, the firm that just signed a 20 million yuan order with us not long ago!"

It all clicked for Feng Feifei. So it was the company that had been "persuaded" to increase its order from 5 million to 20 million. Though she didn’t know what methods Chen Xiao had used, she could imagine that he must have some serious leverage over the man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so readily upped the deal from 5 million to 20 million.

Compared to that, coming over to offer a penalty toast was nothing.

Zhang Jun was completely lost. ’President Qian gave Dr. Feng’s Robot a 20 million yuan order, doesn’t that make him their sugar daddy? If so, it would be normal for President Qian to act a little arrogant!’

But for this sugar daddy to be groveling and apologizing to his supplier... it was truly one for the books.

What was even more unexpected was that President Qian, his legs trembling with nervousness, bowed his head before Chen Xiao and said, "President Chen, you are a magnanimous man. If this isn’t enough, I, this old bag of bones, will kneel for you!"

’Damn,’ Chen Xiao thought, ’this guy really knows when to bend the knee. To think he could swallow his pride like that.’

Of course, Chen Xiao wouldn’t go that far. There was no need to go overboard. Qian just had the misfortune of running into him today. If it had been an ordinary salesman, Qian’s behavior wouldn’t have even been seen as posturing; that salesman might have repeatedly thanked him for the "guidance."

Chen Xiao stood up, raising his soft drink. "Alright, I see your sincerity."

He gestured with his glass, and President Qian quickly refilled his own. That small decanter of his held a full two liang.

Chen Xiao took a sip of his soft drink. President Qian downed his glass in one go again, almost spitting it all back out on the spot.

But he wasn’t done. After catching his breath, he went over to Feng Feifei and repeated the whole process.

He invited Feng Feifei to have a sip of her drink while he, again, downed two liang of liquor in a single gulp, apologizing profusely all the while.

Seeing he’d had too much to drink, Zhang Jun helped him back to their private room, completely unable to figure out what was going on the entire way.

Qian was drunk, shouting the whole way, "I was wrong, President Chen! I’ll call you Dad!"

"President Chen... I’ll really call you Dad..."

Zhang Jun was mortified. He dragged Qian all the way back to their room. The others in the room had just texted Zhang Jun, but since he hadn’t replied, they hadn’t gone over to offer their toasts yet.

Now they saw him helping President Qian back, who was simultaneously apologizing and shouting "Dad!"

The group found it hilarious but were also relieved they hadn’t been as aggressive as Qian had been earlier.

A few of them helped get Qian settled in his seat. Then President Liu said to Zhang Jun, "President Zhang, you must not have seen our text. Which room is Dr. Feng’s Robot in? We’d like to go over and offer a toast, too!"

Zhang Jun was already numb from the successive waves of unbelievable events that day. So when they asked, he subconsciously gave them the room number.
