Chapter 296: Chapter 200: Let’s Have a Hug

Chen Xiao scoffed, "Why are you even bothering with that idiot?"

Feng Feifei said, "I didn’t believe him, of course. But Chen Xiao, I think there are plenty of girls inside the company to keep you busy. You could try to restrain yourself a little outside!"

’What’s that supposed to mean? "Plenty of girls in the company to keep me busy"? Does that include you?’

He rubbed his chin and said, "If being popular is a violation of company policy, then the company might as well give me a major demerit!"

Feng Feifei laughed. "That mouth of yours... I bet you were born for sales. Isn’t that how you won over President Xu from Junxiao Group?"

He quickly shook his head. "You’ve got it all wrong! I swear I never made a move on her! It’s just like how outsiders think I won you over with this smooth-talking mouth of mine. Why else would you always give me such preferential treatment?"

Her face instantly flushed red. "Who’s been spreading rumors?"

"I’m not saying we’re the ones spreading rumors. I’m saying you were won over by this mouth of mine!"

Feng Feifei’s breathing grew ragged. Chen Xiao’s relentless teasing made her heart race as if a rabbit were trapped in her chest, THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!

"So, how is the work at the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center progressing?"

When the topic shifted to work, Feng Feifei immediately switched into professional mode, instantly taking on the air of an expert!

"Well, money talks! The pay is great, so a lot of people from major tech firms are flocking to join. We’ve even had some heavy hitters from Shanghai and Yue City come aboard recently, and the company has provided them with high-end talent apartments!"

"With these high-caliber talents joining, plus the fact that everyone is putting in 14-hour days, we project that we’ll have a prototype of our intelligent driving and smart cockpit systems ready for in-vehicle testing by February. By March, we should be able to achieve urban NCA."

"However, achieving nationwide functionality will likely take a few more months. After all, we don’t have a massive amount of training data yet, and that iteration process takes time."

Chen Xiao knew this was already an incredibly fast timeline. Intelligent driving wasn’t something you could accomplish overnight. In particular, there was a big difference between a system that *could* be used nationwide and one that was actually *good* to use nationwide. The latter required massive amounts of data for training, plus constant upgrades and iterations.

A huge capital investment could save time, but it couldn’t create something out of thin air.

’Data collection is a huge issue. It looks like I’ll have to go and lobby Jin Wuxian. If Shanyun Auto agrees to use Junxing Intelligent Driving, it would be an enormous help for the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center right now!’

At the same time, he asked Feng Feifei to have the business team start talks with other auto companies. Not everyone could afford the autonomous driving solution from Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car, and there were several other solutions on the market that many manufacturers were already using.

Even Prince Di, despite having its own in-house R&D, was also collaborating with multiple autonomous driving solution providers. This could be a major opportunity.

If they could partner with Prince Di, given its market share, data collection would no longer be a problem.

’And then there are all the domestic automakers who realize how essential intelligent driving is but can’t afford to develop it themselves. We can pull them all into a united front!’

The autonomous driving package from Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car cost nearly 50,000 yuan per set. Junxing Intelligence could be far more flexible on pricing.

’Junxiao Group can afford to take the loss, and I’ll just make all the money back through my Diligence Reward bonuses. With a cheat code like this, who could possibly afford to play this game against me?’

’You’re all doing business, but I’m just playing a game!’

Countless unconventional strategies flashed through his mind in an instant. Feng Feifei stared at him, unable to look away. She had to admit, he was incredibly handsome when he was deep in thought.

’The Chen Xiao of today is much more composed and mature than before, with an even greater masculine Charm. No matter where he is, he’s the center of attention—outstanding, extraordinary, and with a warmth as gentle as jade.’

’It’s just that he’s always such a flirt, which creates a stark contrast with that image of his!’

"How’s the progress on the smart cockpit and smart chassis?"

"We’re on track for the Junxing M7’s launch. Once the hardware is set, we’ll just need to keep iterating. All our configurations are built with plenty of redundancy."

Chen Xiao nodded. He had complete confidence in Feng Feifei’s work. ’A female boss with the mind of an engineer!’

"Oh, dear. We’ve been talking so much I completely forgot to get you some water!"

Normally, this would have been her assistant’s job. But every time Chen Xiao had come to her office in the past, she had always insisted on preparing his drink herself, never letting her assistant do it. Consequently, the assistant hadn’t prepared any tea or water today.

The two of them had been talking nonstop ever since Chen Xiao arrived, so they had both forgotten about it.

Feng Feifei stood up to get the tea leaves. Since she rarely drank tea herself, they were stored in the guest reception area of her office.

Chen Xiao watched her as she walked away, her graceful figure swaying. Her full chest, narrow waist, and wide hips created a captivating rhythm with every step.

He stood up. "Don’t go to the trouble. I’m just heading back to my desk to take care of a few things before I have to head out this afternoon."

Feng Feifei squatted down, opening the cabinet where the tea was stored. All Chen Xiao could see from behind was her very full, perky rear.

’I can’t stay here a second longer. I have to get out of here!’

Hearing that he was leaving, she paused, then stood up and turned to face him. "In such a hurry?"

"Every time you come back, you either bring a mountain of work with you or you rush off the second we’re done talking. I never get a chance to thank you properly!"

"Thank me? That’s easy. How about a hug?"

Chen Xiao said with a smile, opening his arms wide.

A blush spread across Feng Feifei’s cheeks. She walked over slowly and asked in a small voice, "H-how do we hug?"

Chen Xiao had only been joking, but now he saw she was taking him seriously. ’If I back down now,’ he thought, ’it’ll really crush her pride.’

He stepped forward and swept her into his arms. "Like this."
