My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 226: Chapter 177: Screen Name "Hello, President Chen!" (Part 2)

Although Gao Yue hadn’t personally gotten involved or directly promised to help find her best friend, she had at least shown them some courtesy!

She had recommended them to the investment department, so the investment department would surely take them seriously!

Hou Fei believed that with his knowledge and this project, securing the investment was practically a sure thing!

After all, from what Gao Yue had said last time, it seemed like Junxiao Investment was very receptive in this area and quite efficient!

Zhao Rui and Ji Kang stared over at Chen Xiao, their faces filled with envy!

To be a salesman like Chen Xiao... he was probably the only one in the world!

A monthly bonus of over a hundred million, and he still spent all day at work playing games!

Chen Xiao, however, felt his life was pretty tough. ’While I’m playing games, I still have to stop and eat the grapes Ma Jing peels for me!’

’I don’t know what she’s thinking, buying such a troublesome fruit. It’s exhausting just to eat them!’

Meanwhile, Ma Jing, not finding it troublesome at all, was peeling the grapes one by one and feeding the tender flesh into Chen Xiao’s mouth...

And she still had to put up with his occasional complaints: "Hang on, can’t you see I’m about to miss this minion wave?"

’Sigh, being an assistant is so hard. I wait on him hand and foot all day for just a meager monthly salary... though the bonus is several hundred thousand!’

This wasn’t just an internal monologue, either. She often complained just like this in front of Zhang Hui, Zhao Rui, and the others, earning her resentful glares from everyone.

’Is there any point to this humble-bragging? If you don’t want the job, I’ll take it!’

"Brother Chen Xiao, why do you like it so much when I feed you grapes?"

’Is she starting her act again?’ Chen Xiao shot her a look of disdain, knowing she was just showing off for the others.

He played along and replied, "Because your grapes are big, round, tender, and sweet. Just perfect for swallowing in one gulp!"

Ma Jing scoffed. "What kind of thing is that to say!"

’Brother Chen Xiao is never serious when he should be, and then he’s mock-serious when he shouldn’t be. It’s infuriating!’

’Such improper behavior, truly improper!’ Yuan Kai couldn’t stand to watch anymore. He got up and headed for Hou Fei’s office.

Yuan Kai had heard through the grapevine that after the group’s upcoming restructuring, he might no longer be reporting to Hou Fei.

At that point, Hou Fei would become the CTO for the original business line of Dr. Feng’s Robot, and his work would not overlap with the newly established Intelligent Robot Division or the Intelligent Research and Development Center!

As part of the sales department, he would be responsible for handling business for all the divisions in the future, so naturally, he could no longer be under Hou Fei’s leadership.

’In a way, this is like a promotion for me,’ he thought as he walked to Hou Fei’s office.

"Come in, Yuan! Have a seat!"

Yuan Kai didn’t bother with pleasantries and plopped down in the chair opposite him.

Hou Fei must have heard the rumors as well, because his attitude toward Yuan Kai was completely different. Gone was his usual arrogant, bossy demeanor.

Instead, his tone was much more focused on winning him over.

"Yuan, congratulations! Did you close that three-million-yuan deal with Manager Gu?"

At the mention of this, a wide smile spread across Yuan Kai’s face. He had finally closed a three-million-yuan deal all by himself!

This was largely thanks to the stellar reputation Dr. Feng’s Robot Company had recently built within the industry.

The company had gone from an annual output of less than 20 million yuan to purchasing a campus in the High-Tech District for 150 million. On top of that, they had laid out construction plans for a massive 300-mu industrial park. This had caused a huge sensation in the industry!

As a result, where Dr. Feng’s Robot once had to repeatedly introduce and explain itself to clients, now its name alone carried weight, like a person’s reputation or a tree’s shadow, saving them a great deal of effort in explanations.

"It’s nothing, really, nothing at all!"

Yuan Kai said humbly, but he couldn’t hide the pride on his face.

"Yuan, the main reason I wanted to see you was about our big project. I’ve already scheduled it with them. I need you to make some time tomorrow to do a roadshow with me."

"I need to present the project and our team!"

Yuan Kai’s eyes flickered. He hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed.

"President Hou, about the money for that dinner last time... when do you think you can take care of that for me?"

For that dinner with Gao Yue, not only had Yuan Kai bought the wine, but he had also fronted the money for the final bill.

Hou Fei had told him to just keep a tab for now, but many days had passed and Hou Fei hadn’t brought it up. Since Hou Fei had just mentioned going to Junxiao Investment Group, Yuan Kai decided to bring it up.

Hou Fei hesitated before saying, "Ah, Yuan, I’m a bit short on cash myself recently. Could you wait a little longer?"

"Or, once we get the funding from them and our new company is established, we can reimburse this tiny amount in a heartbeat. I’ll even reimburse you for the wine, and we can even pad the expense report a bit! What do you say?"

Yuan Kai despised him internally but didn’t want to be too harsh to his face. After all, it must have taken some nerve for Hou Fei to even suggest such a thing.

Chen Xiao found it difficult to stay in the office for long. After all, playing League of Legends for hours on end was exhausting, and he figured Feng Feifei would understand.

He planned to make a trip to the restroom and then head out.

Coming out of the restroom, he unexpectedly ran into Ren Jie.

Even though Ren Jie had been working at the company for a while now, this was the first time Chen Xiao had ever greeted him.

It was mainly because Ren Jie kept his head down and coded all day, while Chen Xiao spent little time in the office. The limited time he was there, he was either handling business or playing games.

Besides, Chen Xiao had gotten Ren Jie a good job with a handsome salary package. Reasonably, Ren Jie should have been the one to approach him and express his gratitude.

But that’s just how IT guys were: low-key and reserved.

"Hey, Ren Jie!" Chen Xiao clapped him enthusiastically on the shoulder.

Ren Jie was just a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a slender frame. He replied shyly, "Hello, Chen Xiao!"

"Settling in okay?"

Ren Jie said, "It’s great. The work is very routine every day."

Chen Xiao nodded. "I’ll suggest to President Feng later that we transfer you to the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center. There will be more room for growth over there, and the compensation will be better too."
