Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Chen Xiao’s Profit Model

"President Hou, Manager Yuan, please don’t misunderstand. My apologies for the impromptu visit. It has nothing to do with Chen Xiao; he doesn’t know I’m here!"

Hou Fei was a bit confused. He turned to look at Yuan Kai, who was also completely baffled!

’It’s ridiculous enough for a Vice President to come looking for a mere salesperson!’

’And you didn’t even make an appointment, you just sat here waiting? Since when were clients this sincere!’

"That would be far too discourteous of us. Mr. Gao, what is the main purpose of your visit today?"

Hou Fei asked politely. Gao Yang, in turn, had a somewhat favorable impression of him.

After a moment of thought, he replied, "Our company has some R&D work related to AI, and we’d like to commission your company to handle it, through Chen Xiao."

What? What did you just say?

Hou Fei and Yuan Kai stared at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief!

’We’ve been grinding away next door for half the day and haven’t even confirmed a single order, and here you are with one delivered right to your doorstep—and from someone you don’t even know!’

’What kind of bullshit luck did Chen Xiao stumble into?’

’Is he some kind of business-attracting deity?’

’No way, this order can’t go to Chen Xiao. An order is performance, performance is money. How can we give it to someone who isn’t even motivated to pick up money off the street?’

’Poach it. We have to poach it!’ Hou Fei and Yuan Kai both saw the green glint of greed in each other’s eyes!

They were in perfect sync. Great minds think alike!

Hou Fei said, "Mr. Gao, there’s no need to wait for Chen Xiao. He’s just a salesperson in my department. You can discuss the specifics with me. I have the authority to finalize it!"

Yuan Kai chimed in at the perfect moment, "That’s right, Mr. Gao. Our President Hou is also a top expert in the AI field. Whatever requirements you have, he’s the perfect person to address them."

Gao Yang was in a difficult position. Normally, when discussing business, it didn’t matter if the other party was a VP—they should be the ones coming to his office.

The only reason he had lowered himself to come here today was because his boss had specifically asked to see Chen Xiao and had repeatedly stressed that the deal *must* be given to Chen Xiao.

He strongly suspected that Chen Xiao had some kind of connection to his boss.

"There are no further requirements. We did our research before coming. We’re happy to work with your company on this project. Once Chen Xiao arrives, we can just go through the formalities!"

Hou Fei and Yuan Kai were left speechless. ’Do you people place orders this casually?’

Even the smallest of deals requires some technical discussion.

"Mr. Gao, may I ask what the specific requirements for this project are?"

Gao Yang felt it wouldn’t be right to completely shut them down, so he explained the R&D project’s scope, as well as the various detailed technical parameters and requirements.

The more Hou Fei listened, the more his brow furrowed. This was no small project. The technical difficulty was quite high, which meant the order value wouldn’t be small either.

"Mr. Gao, we are fully capable of handling this project, but the capital requirement for this work will be substantial!"

Gao Yang nodded. "We’re aware of that. We’ve discussed it internally. To be frank with you both, because this is rather urgent, the price we’re offering is very sincere—20 million!"

Hou Fei and Yuan Kai were once again rendered speechless!

The two of them had spent all morning wrangling over a 3 million deal, and it still wasn’t finalized.

And this guy comes in offering 20 million right off the bat, acting as if he’d be deeply unsettled if Chen Xiao didn’t accept.

’Did this Gao Yang get his head slammed in a door? Do you have any idea what you’re doing? You’re handing my company free money, and I still feel the urge to slap you awake!’

Hou Fei thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Gao, since you’ve already confirmed you want to work with our company, I can represent the company and confirm this partnership with you right now. There’s no need to wait for Chen Xiao!"

When he raised the issue again, Gao Yang became a little annoyed. ’This President Hou is a bit dense. I’ve made it perfectly clear: if Chen Xiao isn’t here, I’m not signing.’

’How can he be so tactless?’ Outwardly, he maintained a faint smile. "President Hou, if you two have other things to attend to, please go ahead. I’ll wait for Chen Xiao."

Hou Fei and Yuan Kai walked out with expressions like they were constipated, both thinking they’d just run into a complete idiot!

But the real question was, why couldn’t *they* run into idiots like that?

Chen Xiao walked into Dr. Feng’s Robot, still on the phone.

The receptionist tried to approach him, but he held up a hand, signaling her to wait. He was on a call with Zhao Xiangjun.

They had made plans to visit Zhao Xiangjun’s parents and family the next day, so Chen Xiao was asking her what gifts he needed to prepare.

Zhao Xiangjun said she had already prepared everything and that Chen Xiao just needed to be the driver!

As he walked, Chen Xiao kept asking about her family members’ personalities and preferences.

Zhao Xiangjun teased him, "You’re asking so many questions. It’s not like you’re going to live with them, why do you need to know so much?"

Chen Xiao felt a bit helpless. He knew she meant he shouldn’t worry unnecessarily; she didn’t want to trouble him and had already handled all her family matters!

It wasn’t that he was a worrier by nature. It was just his first time doing something like this, and he was afraid of being impolite in some way.

The receptionist approached a few times, but seeing that he was on the phone, she couldn’t bring herself to interrupt and just waited to the side.

Just then, Hou Fei came out. Seeing Chen Xiao on the phone, he said with a look of annoyance, "Chen Xiao, Mr. Gao from Jiefei is waiting for you. Why haven’t you hung up and come over yet?"

Chen Xiao glanced back at him, then continued his call with Zhao Xiangjun, treating him like he was thin air.

Hou Fei’s face turned ashen as he walked away, but Chen Xiao paid it no mind. When he mentioned Mr. Gao from Jiefei, Chen Xiao already had a good idea of the situation and why the man was waiting for him.

Xu Wu had told him about it that morning. Apparently, to secure 50 million in financing, the other party had to entrust their R&D work to Dr. Feng’s Robot!

’An order like that isn’t going to fly away. What’s the rush?’

He told Zhao Xiangjun not to worry about preparing cigarettes and alcohol. He had liquor at home, and as for cigarettes, he had just bought two cartons of Venerable Emperor downstairs!

He asked Zhao Xiangjun to buy some health supplements, like sea cucumber, bird’s nest, or dendrobium.

Zhao Xiangjun couldn’t stand his nagging any longer and surrendered. "Okay, grandpa, that’s enough! Can I please just handle it myself? Are you trying to get my family to open a wholesale store with all the stuff you’re buying?"

After ending the call, the receptionist came forward. "Chen Xiao, a client has been waiting for you for a while. He’s in meeting room 2. You should hurry over!"

’So it’s about that.’ Only then did Chen Xiao amble unhurriedly toward meeting room 2.

Watching all this from a distance, Yuan Kai felt his teeth ache. He just couldn’t understand how someone like Chen Xiao could ever close a deal.

And not just any deals, but huge ones! Before, it was already absurd enough that he could close a deal with a single visit.

But now it was even better: a massive order was delivered to his doorstep, and he acted like he couldn’t care less. The real problem was that the client was practically begging to give him the order.

It’s a world turned upside down! A world turned upside down!

Of course, Chen Xiao wasn’t indifferent. How could he be, when it concerned the completion of his mission? He was simply confident of success.

Moreover, this incident had shown him that his plan was entirely feasible: have Junxiao Capital take the stage and control various companies.

Then, have those companies feed orders back to Dr. Feng’s Robot. He could make money from several ends! This way of doing business was simply divine!

He was gloating inwardly, fantasizing about a future where the greatest salesperson and the god of business were one and the same person.

When Gao Yang finally saw the man himself, he kept sizing Chen Xiao up, but besides being a bit handsome, he couldn’t see anything special about him at all.

’Why on earth did the boss have me rush over to deliver this order, as if he were so desperate to give a gift that he couldn’t even wait in line?’
