Chapter 268: Chapter 191: Vying for Affection (Part 2)

Dr. Feng’s Robot Co., Ltd. now had three business entities under its umbrella. As the chairman of the parent company who was also the CEO of all three subsidiaries, Feng Feifei was truly one of a kind.

To be this short-staffed, the key issue was still the lack of core management.

This wasn’t his fault. Xu Wu’s business involved direct acquisitions, so the original management teams simply came along with the companies.

Feng Feifei, on the other hand, had started everything from scratch. All her people had to be trained slowly, from the ground up.

A general manager unfamiliar with the culture of Dr. Feng’s Robot wouldn’t be able to adapt in less than a month!

Therefore, Feng Feifei was even busier than Xu Wu right now. If someone chose to visit her at a time like this, she definitely wouldn’t have a moment to spare.

She didn’t even have time to meet people from within the industry, let alone those from outside it.

Today, she received a call from her assistant saying that the general manager of Four Seasons Clothing, a retail business, wanted to pay a visit.

She looked at the name and didn’t recognize it. It was also unlikely they’d have any business dealings with a retail company. And even if they did, he should be contacting the sales department!

So she had her assistant turn him down.

Xia Bin was frustrated. After getting slapped by Gao Yue, he’d blamed it all on Chen Xiao. Since Chen Xiao had mentioned where he worked last time, Xia Bin had asked around about Dr. Feng’s Robot as soon as he got back.

He made some inquiries and eventually got in touch with the design firm that had renovated the offices for Dr. Feng’s Robot. That firm’s impression of the company was still stuck a few months in the past.

As a result, the information Xia Bin received was that it was a tech company with an annual output of around 20 million yuan.

He was thrilled when he heard that. ’A small company like this? I’m the general manager of Four Seasons Clothing, a company with over a billion in annual sales. A personal visit from me should be a huge honor for Dr. Feng’s Robot, shouldn’t it?’

But he was actually rejected!

’Damn it! What kind of company is this? Don’t they have any manners? The general manager of a major corporation comes to visit, and they don’t even show some respect!’

’If I weren’t trying to cause trouble for Chen Xiao, would I even have the time to bother with you?’

After thinking it over, he decided he had to swallow his pride and try again, reiterating his desire to meet with President Feng in person.

The receptionist was exasperated. ’Why is this guy so clingy?’ President Feng’s assistant had already left for the industrial park. Who was she supposed to contact to report this to President Feng?

’Besides, President Feng is so busy today. There’s no way she can see you!’

She said irritably, "President Xia, our company is moving to a new location today. President Feng is over there overseeing everything. She really doesn’t have the time!"

"Moving to a new location?" Suddenly, Xia Bin saw this as an opportunity to get closer to them.

"In that case, I must go and congratulate them!"

The receptionist was helpless and had no choice but to give him the new address. ’He’s just inviting himself over! Besides, look at the time! I’m about to head to the new office for the annual party myself!’

Xia Bin had someone prepare a piece of calligraphy by a famous artist. In reality, it was written by an elder in his family, and he had bought it back for 100,000 yuan at an auction to show support. He felt it was a perfectly suitable gift.

’A hundred thousand yuan to take care of a minor salesclerk should be more than enough, right?’

He was habitually considering the return on investment.

Qiao Xin tiptoed over to Chen Xiao’s side.

She saw Chen Xiao engrossed in a game, while Ma Jing sat beside him, feeding him strawberries.

During a break in the action, Ma Jing took out a banana and started eating it fiercely.

"Chen Xiao!"

He glanced up.

"Oh, Qiao Xin, hang on a second. I’ll be done in a bit."

"No rush, take your time!"

"Mm, want a banana?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Ma Jing glaring at her with hostility, Qiao Xin defiantly puffed out her chest. ’Why can you eat his banana and I can’t? I’m going to eat one too!’

"I’ll have one too, then. Chen Xiao, your banana is so big!"

Chen Xiao looked at her delicate and coy appearance. ’Girl, are you sure you’re not making a dirty joke right now?’

Half the people in the company had already left. There was an annual party in the evening, so most of the office staff had gone over ahead of time. Chen Xiao felt there wasn’t much to do if he went early, so he stayed behind to play some games.

Ma Jing had stayed behind to keep him company.

"Qiao Xin, what are you waiting for Chen Xiao for? You should head to the industrial park first!"

Qiao Xin blinked her big, watery eyes and said to Ma Jing, "I’m going to ride in Chen Xiao’s car tonight!"

"Brother Chen Xiao, weren’t you going to take me with you?"

Chen Xiao was busy clearing a minion wave. Without thinking, he replied, "Since when? Don’t you have your own car?"

Ma Jing was immediately displeased. She pouted and muttered, "Men always prefer the new over the old!"

After he finished clearing the minion wave, Chen Xiao thought about her comment. ’Ah, so she’s competing with Qiao Xin for attention. I was so focused on the game I didn’t think about it.’

Hearing her mutter that, he grinned and said, "I like the new and the old!"

Hearing this, the two women glared at each other. It looked like the rivalry was still on.

’Forget it. I can’t even enjoy my game while stuck in the middle of this.’

Chen Xiao closed the game and stretched.

Qiao Xin quickly came forward. "Are you tired? Let me give you a shoulder rub!"

’That shameless hussy!’ Ma Jing’s face instantly darkened.

Not to be outdone, she said, "Brother Chen Xiao, let me massage your legs. You’ve been sitting all afternoon, you need to get your blood circulating!"

’Huh, trying to take advantage of Chen Xiao?’ Seeing Ma Jing kneading Chen Xiao’s thigh, Qiao Xin stared at her hands as if she were a thief.

Since she was standing behind Chen Xiao and couldn’t see well, she said, "I’ll massage your other leg!"

Chen Xiao enjoyed the free massage for a bit. It was actually quite comfortable.

’But you two are just supposed to be massaging my legs, why are your hands moving higher and higher? Of all the things to compete over, why this?!’

’I’m about to lose control here!’

"Stop! Stop! Good thing no one else is in the office right now! What do you think this place is?!"

"One of you is a sales assistant, and the other is the company receptionist. Why are you both acting like paid game companions?!"

He didn’t stop to reflect on why he himself was treating the office like an arcade.

"All right, let’s get going. To the industrial park!"
