Chapter 276: Chapter 194: Afflicted by Peach Blossoms

Everyone at the table stared, their eyes wide.

’The boss told this beauty to take good care of Chen Xiao. No wonder he’s so arrogant, with a woman on each arm. He’s flirting on imperial orders!’

Of course, that was a joke. The main point was that President Feng could single out Chen Xiao by name, showing he had "Simplicity in the Emperor’s Heart." She couldn’t even name the others, including Qiao Xin!

The truth was, Dr. Feng’s Robot had seen explosive growth in personnel over the last few months, and Feng Feifei was always out, busy with matters at the industrial park. She was constantly in a rush.

She was thinking about work even while she walked, and simply had no mental energy to spare for remembering people in non-critical roles.

Qiao Xin didn’t dare to breathe. Only after Feng Feifei had moved on to the next table did she say, "On what grounds does Ma Jing get to take care of him? I can take good care of him, too!"

Ma Jing hmphed. "I’m supposed to take care of him for work. You just want to take care of him at night!"

Not to be outdone, Qiao Xin retorted, "You’re just abusing your position for personal gain. You’re the one who wants to eat Chen Xiao’s banana every day, aren’t you?"

Except for Zhao Rui and Ji Kang, the others at the table didn’t know them well and had no idea the "banana" they were referring to was the actual fruit.

They broke out in a nervous sweat as they listened, sick with envy of Chen Xiao. ’This guy has truly won at life!’

One of the two beauties in front of him was using her job as an excuse to eat his... during the day, while the other was thinking about taking care of him at night...

The two of them were giving Chen Xiao a headache. "Stop arguing," he said. "If you’re so envious, you can come over and have some, too!"

’Holy shit! My idol! This is what it means to be a real man!’

An employee next to Zhao Rui nudged him and whispered, "Is this handsome guy always this badass?"

He had started working at the industrial park right after being hired, so he naturally didn’t know about Chen Xiao’s legendary exploits.

Zhao Rui whispered, "You bet. The most badass salesman in history, bar none!"

’A salesman? With perks like these, why am I stuck writing code? I want to be a salesman, too!’

’So many IT guys can’t even find a girlfriend, yet here he is, in broad daylight at the company, getting this kind of attention from two beautiful women serving him!’

Because of this incident, almost everyone at the table came over to have a drink with Chen Xiao. Some even quietly asked him to share his secret techniques for picking up women.

How was Chen Xiao supposed to teach them? ’First step, you need to get a System... and then... well, there is no ’and then’.’

Over at Xu Wu’s table, the line of people waiting to offer a toast was finally dwindling. Just then, Xia Bin strode forward with his glass raised. "President Xu, a toast to you!"

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xia Bin, from Four Seasons Clothing!"

Too many people had introduced themselves that night. Xu Wu gave a perfunctory nod, not really hearing what he’d said. She raised her glass in a token gesture before turning to deal with the next person.

Xia Bin had hoped to exchange contact information, but it was clear that wasn’t going to happen.

Just then, Feng Feifei returned.

Employees of Dr. Feng’s Robot and some clients were just about to approach her for a toast. Seizing the momentary gap, Xia Bin quickly went over to offer his own.

He introduced himself again. Feng Feifei wasn’t familiar with the retail industry and had no idea what Four Seasons Clothing was.

She did, however, recall her assistant mentioning during the day that a certain Xia Bin wanted to visit. She hadn’t had the time to see him and had refused. ’How did he end up here tonight?’

Xia Bin was already explaining, "My apologies for being so forward today. I had originally planned to visit in a few days, but when I heard it was your grand opening celebration, I picked out a piece of calligraphy to send over as a small token of my appreciation."

As the saying goes, you don’t slap a smiling face. Besides, he was here to offer congratulations. Feng Feifei smiled graciously. "Well, thank you, President Xia. Please enjoy yourself and have a few more drinks tonight!"

Seeing that the beautiful president put on no airs whatsoever, Xia Bin felt that he had already narrowed the distance between them.

"The last couple of days have been hectic, so I really had no time during the day. Was there something you needed to see me about, President Xia?"

Feng Feifei was offering an explanation for having rejected his visit that day.

Xia Bin flashed a smile he considered quite suave and said, "Oh, nothing major. Firstly, I wanted to pay my respects and learn from you. Secondly, I wanted to provide some feedback regarding one of your company’s employees."

"Oh? And which employee has done something to offend you, President Xia?"

Feng Feifei certainly didn’t believe his claim about wanting to learn from her. ’What could he possibly learn here?’

’So his main purpose must be to complain about an employee. This man clearly has too much time on his hands. Thank goodness I didn’t see him today. We’re this busy, and he thinks I have time to deal with his trivial little problems?’

She gave no indication that she would punish her own employee; she didn’t even know the facts of the matter yet. Of course, if one of her staff had truly done something heinous on company time, she might look into it.

In truth, Xia Bin had felt something was off the moment he arrived at Dr. Feng’s Robot Industrial Park. He had assumed Dr. Feng’s Robot was a small company with annual sales of less than 20 million. As the boss of a company with one billion in annual sales, shouldn’t he have received a hero’s welcome?

He figured getting Chen Xiao in a bit of trouble would be a piece of cake. But upon arriving, he discovered that was not the case at all.

Complaining about an employee’s personal problems to someone of Feng Feifei’s caliber was truly like using an anti-aircraft cannon to shoot a mosquito.

But he had already come this far and wasn’t willing to let Chen Xiao off the hook. He mustered his courage and said, "There’s an employee at your company named Chen Xiao. He leads a promiscuous lifestyle and uses your company’s name to stir up trouble everywhere!"

"Chen Xiao?" Feng Feifei repeated, unable to hide her surprise. This time, even Xu Wu turned her head to look, automatically filtering out everything else.

That name was a very sensitive one.

Feng Feifei repeated, "Chen Xiao leads a promiscuous lifestyle and stirs up trouble everywhere?"

Xu Wu completely ignored the person trying to offer her a toast. She raised an elegant eyebrow and gave Xia Bin a long, serious look.

’What company did he say he was from again?’

She found it rather amusing. ’You’re trying to report Chen Xiao to Demon Feng? Do you have any idea what you’re getting yourself into?’
