Director Cai looked at him coldly—Idiot, you'll probably be the one getting punished this time.

Based on her understanding of President Feng, even though Feng Lei was a relative, if President Feng knew that he had called Chen Xiao a dog, it would be considered very merciful if he didn't cut out his tongue; he would definitely not keep him alive.

Moreover, if this gets back to President Chen, he won't let him off the hook. No matter how you look at it, Feng Lei is doomed.

She felt that Chen Xiao was a nemesis of those with connections. Several people with connections who came to the company were fired because of him, and among them, Feng Lei had the strongest connections, but he definitely stayed the shortest.

This incident caused a huge uproar and had a very bad impact. It involved a brawl within the marketing department and also implicated General Manager Chen. Director Cai immediately went to find Feng Feifei's assistant, Xiao Cai, and briefly explained what had happened, requesting to report to General Manager Feng in person for instructions.

Upon hearing that Feng Lei and Chen Xiao were involved, Xiao Cai didn't dare to delay and immediately dialed the internal line to ask Feng Feifei for instructions. At this time, Feng Feifei had just finished her work and sent a message asking Chen Xiao to come over.

The two young people had only been together for a short time and were still very much in love. Feng Feifei missed Chen Xiao terribly if she didn't see him for a day. She had just hurriedly finished her work and was finally able to take some time to be sweet with Chen Xiao before waiting for Old Feng's arrival.

"Director Cai, President Feng wants you to come in."

As Xiao Cai spoke, she went over and swiped the swipe to open Feng Feifei's office door for her.

Feng Feifei stood up from her executive chair. Her "Starry Night" business suit, with its fitted design, accentuated her slender yet upright figure. The silver watch subtly visible on the cuffs added a touch of understated elegance and status.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, her eyeliner was delicate but not heavy, and the curve at the corner of her eyes carried a sharp scrutiny. Her pupils were as black as ink, and the air seemed to freeze wherever her gaze fell.

Her lips were a subtle rose-red bean paste color, but now they were pressed into a straight line, and the corners of her lips were slightly downturned, revealing obvious displeasure.

"Explain what happened. How did a fight break out in the marketing department?"

She stood there, without making any unnecessary movements, not even raising her voice, yet the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees. Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but it seemed to form an invisible barrier around her, making people hesitant to approach.

She's a very approachable leader; she only puts so much pressure on people when she's angry. Xiao Cai didn't describe it clearly on the phone; she only said Feng Lei was beaten and that he insulted Chen Xiao.

Director Cai keenly sensed that President Feng's anger stemmed from Feng Lei's insults towards Chen Xiao, not from Feng Lei being beaten. He silently mourned for Feng Lei for three minutes, realizing that the difference between close and distant relationships was indeed true.

In President Feng's eyes, Feng Lei probably couldn't even compare to one of President Chen's toes. Little did she know that she had overestimated Feng Lei. Feng Feifei had no good impression of him at all; a spoiled brat, someone who wanted to reap the rewards without putting in any effort, and someone who didn't have a clear understanding of himself.

As she listened to Director Cai's description, Feng Feifei's expression grew even colder.

When Director Cai relayed Zhao Rui's words that Feng Lei called Chen Xiao a dog kept by the Feng family, "Bang!"—the ebony tabletop trembled under her delicate fist, and the dull thud silenced the entire conference room instantly.

Director Cai was startled. The usually gentle President Feng clenched her slender fingers tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force, her nails almost digging into her palms, yet she still maintained an elegant composure.

Those almond-shaped eyes, usually gentle and smiling, were now as cold as ice, as if a tangible chill was bursting forth from them. She stared at Director Cai and said, word by word, "Did he really say that?" Her voice was so soft it was almost dangerous, each word like a knife scraping against glass.

"Make Feng Lei leave the company immediately and never hire him again. At the same time, promote Yuan Kai, Zhao Rui, Ji Kang, and Zhang Hui by one level, give Yuan Kai a raise of 5000 yuan, and give the other three a raise of 3000 yuan each."

She asked a question, and before Director Cai could answer, she had already made her decision, without even considering what would happen if Feng Lei was wrongly accused.

"Go ahead and immediately send an email to the entire company."

As Director Cai left, she clicked her tongue in disbelief. This way of handling things was truly outrageous; everyone who did the beating was promoted and given a raise. And the person who was beaten was her relative, which showed just how favored Chen Xiao was.

Others may not know, but she knows best that President Feng was driven to murder when he heard Feng Lei call Chen Xiao a dog. Coming out of Feng Feifei's office, she saw Feng Lei, who had been cleaned up and bandaged, walking towards her, pointing at Yuan Kai and the others and cursing, "You lot, just wait, get ready to pack your bags and get out! Daring to hit a member of the Feng family, you're rebelling!"

Director Cai sighed. "Low education is one thing, but why isn't your brain fully developed? Some things are better left unsaid; you should just keep them to yourself. Even if you could do it, you should have done it first! What are we going to do now? How embarrassing is this going to be?"

She stood there for a moment, waiting for him to come over so she could call him into her office for a talk and have him leave discreetly. Just then, the door to Chen Xiao's office creaked open from the inside, and Director Cai immediately stood at attention, respectfully greeting, "Good morning, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Xiao had a good impression of her, nodded, and casually said, "What were you doing outside just now? I couldn't even play a game in peace."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'll handle it right away." Director Cai wiped his sweat. In the entire company, only Mr. Chen dared to openly admit that he was playing games. If others said that, it would be suicidal; but if he said it, it would be called being carefree.

He chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, you go about your business, I was just asking casually."

I walked past Director Cai and headed towards Feng Feifei's office.

Not far behind, Feng Lei was also heading to find Feng Feifei, but he was stopped halfway by Director Cai: "Feng Lei, come to my office for a moment."

Previously, they all addressed him as "General Manager Lei," but now they call him "Feng Lei." This change didn't register with Feng Lei, who was burning with anger. But at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to Director Cai; he was going to file a complaint with the emperor.

"I don't have time to talk to you, I need to see President Feng."

Director Cai's face turned cold, a professional smile playing on his lips, but his eyes had already turned icy. This idiot's brain is completely malfunctioning. How could President Feng possibly want to see you? Who do you think you are?
"Didn't you see that General Manager Chen went to General Manager Feng's office? He wouldn't have time to see you. Come to my office, I have something to talk to you about."

The smile vanished completely, replaced by a mocking curve. He then ignored Feng Lei and headed towards his office.

Several employees nearby pretended to be busy with their work, but in reality, they were eavesdropping. Some of them exchanged glances and suppressed smiles.

"Feng Lei's situation seems to be not good. Director Cai's tone... is clearly an ultimatum before a death sentence."

"No way, those are royalty, and they were the ones who got beaten up at that! How could that be?"

"You're new here and don't know the company's situation. No matter how powerful a relative of the emperor is, they're nothing compared to our beloved CEO Chen."

Although the phrase "Dear President Chen" was said in a joking tone, the company's veterans are indeed very grateful to Chen Xiao. Without him, how could the company have reached its current size, and how could they have such high salaries?

Feng Lei still ignored Director Cai. He didn't care about these people at all. Just like he said about Chen Xiao, in his eyes, these people were all servants or dogs raised by the Feng family.

What Feng Feifei hates most about him is this. Let alone Chen Xiao today, even if he said any colleague was a dog raised by the Feng family, Feng Feifei would not hesitate to tell him to get lost.

He didn't know that his cousin was always kind to her employees, and that saying this had crossed Feng Feifei's line.

Chen Xiao was unaware that his several privilege cards had sparked a fierce battle, directly resulting in Feng Lei being dismissed from get off work. Now, arriving at Feng Feifei's office, he noticed she was as beautiful as ever, but seemed preoccupied with something. He jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Worried I didn't perform well and that Old Feng won't like me?"

Feng Feifei immediately realized that he probably didn't know what Feng Lei had said; otherwise, given his temper, he would probably have already gone to cause trouble for Feng Lei by now, instead of joking around here.

Temporarily putting aside her earlier unpleasantness, when she was with Chen Xiao, she always wanted to show her most beautiful side, so she sat down next to him.

Chen Xiao reached out his arm, and Feng Feifei leaned into his embrace. "Feifei, does Mr. Feng know me well? Have you introduced me to him?"

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated! He needed to know how much Mr. Feng knew about him so that he could take the initiative in the conversation and find an opportunity to persuade him to stay with the company and earn him some dedication points.

"It introduced a lot."

Oh?! Tell me, what are they, and how are they described?

"It simply introduces my name, age, and hobbies!"

"Any more?"

"That's all."

"..." Is this what you call introducing a lot? "What hobbies did you introduce about me?" Chen Xiao felt a little guilty. Could it be that you introduced Chen Xiao's hobby—beautiful women?

"Playing games, huh? Didn't you start playing games as soon as you joined the company?"

Uh~! That's alright. "Well, everyone has hobbies, right? By the way, Feifei, I suggest we ask President Feng to come back to the company to help out. With him there, you can relax a bit. Uh~ so he won't get too tired. He can play LOL with me sometimes, and we can team up."

Feng Feifei gently punched him with her little fist, saying, "Don't lead my dad astray."

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "He still wants me to take care of him. He's been out having fun for a year, and he's even more playful than me. It's time for him to settle down. Most importantly, he'll be back so you'll have more time to spend with me."

Hmm? Feng Feifei fell silent. Clearly, Chen Xiao's words had touched her. Her biggest worry was being too busy with work and having too little time to spend with Chen Xiao. Originally, she thought that since her father had retired, he should rest and do things he enjoyed. But Chen Xiao's suggestion was quite good. When she wasn't busy, he could go out and have fun. And when he was at home, she would have more time to spend with him.

Judging from her expression, Chen Xiao knew that a united front had been formed, and now all that was left was to wait for President Feng's arrival. A wide net had been cast, and all that was left was for President Feng to walk right into it.

As soon as Mr. Feng stepped out of the elevator, he sneezed. He thought to himself, "How strange. I haven't been in the business for over a year, why is anyone still thinking about me? I didn't owe anyone any money back then." "Hello, Mr. Feng!"

"Hello, Mr. Feng!"

He visited once when the company first moved here, so people who have been with the company for a while know him as General Manager Feng and naturally treat him with utmost respect.

He greeted everyone warmly, saying, "You all go about your business, I'll go find Ms. Fei Fei."

At this moment, Feng Lei was blocked outside by his assistant, Xiao Cai. "Feng Lei, President Feng said that no one is allowed to disturb him. You'd better not challenge President Feng."

Normally, Feng Lei would have been a little scared. But today, he felt wronged and that Feng Feifei should stand up for him. He didn't care about Xiao Cai anymore and immediately shouted, "I have something important to discuss with her. If you stop me again, you can quit."

Xiao Cai was instantly furious. This guy was a complete idiot. He was President Feng's assistant, and the only person in the company with the power to decide his fate was President Feng. Who did Feng Lei think he was, daring to talk to him like that?

As Feng Feifei's assistant, she naturally knew that Feng Feifei didn't like Feng Lei. She usually gave Feng Lei some face, but now that Feng Lei had said that, she was immediately annoyed: "Feng Lei, I'm warning you, if you cause any more trouble, I'll have security kick you out."

Feng Lei sneered, "Are you kidding me? The security guards are just watchdogs kept by the Feng family. How dare they kick me out?"

Xiao Cai's face turned cold. This guy was practically asking for death; those words would incite public outrage. Just as he was about to rebuke him, he suddenly saw a figure approaching from behind Feng Lei and slapped him across the head: "Go to hell! What did you say?!"

"Ah~! Mr. Feng."

Xiao Cai quickly called out, only to realize that it was Old Feng who had hit Feng Lei.

Feng Lei was furious. He had just been beaten up and came up to his cousin to complain, but then someone attacked him from behind at the door. He roared, "I'll fuck you—!"

Xiao Cai's face immediately turned pale. This beast even insulted the old chairman. Is he looking for death?

Fortunately, Feng Lei turned around and saw it was his uncle. His face turned deathly pale, his lips trembled, and he quickly pulled his mouth away, accidentally biting his tongue. "Uncle~!"

Old Feng kicked Feng Lei, who didn't dare dodge. "Damn it, you actually insulted a colleague and even tried to sleep with my uncle? Isn't my uncle your own grandfather?"

Feng Lei immediately fell silent. Old Feng was clearly furious; he'd only reached the entrance when he heard this beast cursing at the security guards. The Feng father and daughter were known for treating their employees extremely well, truly like family. This bastard dared to insult the company's security guards like that, especially considering they were among the hardest-working staff.

Old Feng straightened his cuffs with one hand and gave Feng Lei a cold glance: "Go to the HR department and resign."

Feng Lei froze, then cried out in a sob, "Uncle, I've been hit! I'm so wronged! I need to talk to my cousin about this!"

Old Feng frowned: "There's only Mr. Feng in the company, where did this cousin come from? Are you out of your mind?" Hearing that Feng Lei had been beaten, and not knowing what had happened, he said to Xiao Cai: "Tell Mr. Feng that I've arrived. Is it convenient for me to come in now?"

Xiao Cai nodded in agreement; Old Feng was certainly particular. He quickly dialed the internal line, then got up to swipe Old Feng's office card and invited him in.

Feng Lei followed Old Feng timidly through the door and saw Feng Feifei and Chen Xiao standing together, looking in their direction.

The moment she saw him, a murderous glint flashed in Feng Feifei's eyes, and her face instantly turned cold. "Feng Lei, you've been fired, what are you doing here? Don't ever set foot in my company again."

His mouth was slightly open, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his face was contorted in a grimace, as if someone had doused him with a bucket of ice water. A little confused, Feng Lei looked at Old Feng with a wronged expression, "I was beaten up, why are you firing me?"

Old Feng didn't know Chen Xiao was inside. Now that he'd seen his future son-in-law, he had no time to care about Feng Lei anymore. "You can go out now, I have things to do."

Feng Lei opened his mouth, then turned his head and saw Chen Xiao, and immediately said, "We're a family talking here, what are you doing here?"

"Damn it!" Old Feng suddenly turned his head. How come he didn't know his nephew wasn't very bright? Sure enough, Feng Feifei's face was icy cold: "Get out! Go to finance and get your compensation. You're not allowed to set foot in the company again, or I'll have security throw you out."

Feng Lei couldn't figure out what he had done to offend Feng Feifei again. "Uncle... Uncle," he said, his voice sounding aggrieved, but he became even softer with fear.

"Get out! You might really not be suited to be in the office."

Old Feng was already disgusted when he overheard Feng Lei verbally abusing the security guard outside. Seeing his daughter's attitude towards him upon entering, he knew there must be something he didn't understand. He knew Feng Feifei's personality well; if Feng Lei hadn't done something she deeply resented, things wouldn't have come to this. He was good at taking care of relatives, but compared to his only precious daughter, his cousin was nothing.

Feng Lei left the office looking dejected and disheveled. After Xiao Cai closed the office door from the outside, Chen Xiao greeted Mr. Feng again: "Hello, Uncle Feng!"

Old Feng laughed. Instead of calling him General Manager Feng, he called him Uncle Feng. This felt like a son-in-law visiting his family. Good, good, really good!
Chen Xiao is a handsome and talented man, and he single-handedly built Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group to where it is today. He is truly a perfect match for my daughter, a match made in heaven.

"Have a seat, Xiao Chen."

Feng Feifei brewed a cup of tea for Old Feng and then replaced it with a fresh cup for Chen Xiao. After taking a sip, Old Feng said to Chen Xiao, "Young Chen, try this tea. It's top-grade Houkui, bought at an auction for over 120 million yuan per kilogram. It's not easy to buy outside."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It is indeed good tea." This was a tea that Cha Lan had photographed and given to him, and he had shared some with Feng Feifei.

Feng Feifei's face flushed. Her father was really showing off in front of an expert, using someone else's tea to impress them. She wondered if he would lose face if he knew the truth, which is why she didn't dare reveal it. Oh well, as long as Chen Xiao could control his laughter, it was fine.

"Xiao Chen, do you have any career aspirations?"

Does making money while lying down count?

Cough cough! Old Feng choked on his drink. Feng Feifei, sitting opposite Chen Xiao, gave him a reproachful look, as if blaming him for being silly.

Mr. Feng coughed a few times. “I know you’re good at sales, but you can’t be a salesman forever. Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group is wholly owned by the Feng family. Feifei holds 99% of the shares. When you get married, as a man, you should help her with some of the responsibilities, right? What are your plans?”

"Keep being a salesman—!"

Is that even a question? If you change jobs, your dedication points disappear. What's the point of playing around then? You've worked so hard to accumulate so many.

Cough cough cough~! Old Feng didn't expect that all his talk was just talking to a brick wall, since this guy is so fond of salespeople.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, I know you're very capable and have made a huge contribution to the company in this area, but Feifei is a girl after all. Have you considered giving her more support in other areas?"

He patiently and persuasively tried to persuade Chen Xiao, but before Chen Xiao could even convince him, he was already trying to convince Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao, holding his cup, answered seriously, "I've considered it."

"Oh? You're on the right track?" Old Feng pressed, "What are your plans?"

"I plan to invest 100 billion yuan in Feifei's research and development in high-tech fields."

Old Feng really choked this time, ouch, ouch!

Feng Feifei quickly handed him a napkin, while giving Chen Xiao a reproachful look, blaming him for his outrageous remarks. Then she said to Old Feng, "Why do you keep drinking water when we're talking about something?"

The implication is that if you don't drink water, you won't choke, right?

Old Feng finally felt better and took a breath. This young Chen is really funny; he can crack any joke. He picked up his cup again. His daughter didn't understand; this was called tactical drinking. He hadn't expected Chen Xiao to be so witty.

"Uh—to clarify, it's US dollars!"

"Ah—cough cough cough, apoo, apoo~"

"What's going on?" Feng Feifei grabbed another napkin. She was worried that if they kept talking like this, Old Feng might choke. She said, "Who starts by talking about work? You guys are so boring. Don't you have anything else to talk about?"

Neither Mr. Feng nor Feng Feifei took it seriously. Mr. Feng was still unaware of Chen Xiao's true identity; as a salesman, his bonuses were paid by the company. The company couldn't even come up with 100 billion US dollars, where was he going to get it? This kid seemed quite smart, how could he joke so outrageously? He almost got me killed.

Feng Feifei knew Chen Xiao was rich, but he had just invested 100 billion to manufacture chips, so Junxiao Group's cash flow should be almost exhausted. It was probably unrealistic for him to invest another 1000 billion US dollars. Besides, the company was developing steadily and increasing its R&D expenditure year by year. Perhaps in a few years, it could achieve an annual R&D investment of 100 billion US dollars.

After patting Mr. Feng on the back, Feng Feifei knew that Chen Xiao wanted to persuade Mr. Feng to return to work, but in order to prevent him from scaring Mr. Feng again, she insisted that they stop talking about work and did not allow Mr. Feng to drink water while he was talking.

Chen Xiao had no objections, and even innocently shrugged at Feng Feifei. He was genuinely prepared to give Feng Feifei 100 billion US dollars so that she could establish R&D centers around the world. After all, with Dr. Feng in China, it would be difficult to attract many high-tech talents from abroad, as many of them were unwilling to leave their hometowns.

That way, she can establish several more R&D centers around the world; after all, Chen Xiao doesn't know what to do with the US dollars in his account. (End of Chapter)
