Chapter 368: Mr. Xiao, the King of Children
That earth-shaking cross-border video conference ended abruptly in a weird atmosphere.
On the other side of the screen, the European executives, with confused faces full of questions like "Who am I, where am I, what did I just experience", watched their legendary oriental boss skillfully burping the baby in his arms.
The scene was so magical that half an hour after the meeting ended, the internal forum of Guangzheng Group Europe was flooded with a blurry screenshot of the video conference.
The title is: "About the fact that our boss is actually a daughter slave."
At this moment, Xiao Xuezheng, the central figure of the topic, did not affect the group's awareness of its international image at all.
He was examining the pink crib at his feet with a serious look on his face.
"No." He spoke in a deep voice, his brow furrowed, as if he was analyzing an investment project with major flaws.
On the sofa, Shi Runrun, who was leisurely flipping through a magazine, raised her head and looked at him with a bit of amusement: "What's wrong again?"
"It's a toy." The man concluded.
He pointed at the string of brightly colored rattles hanging above the crib, his tone full of disgust.
"The design of this rattle isn't ergonomic. The color saturation is too high, and prolonged viewing will affect Yiyi's vision development. Also, although the material is claimed to be food grade, who can guarantee it hasn't been contaminated during the production process?"
Shi Runrun: “…”
She looked at the imported rattle that he had criticized as worthless and that she had spent several thousand dollars to buy, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Is this man trying to use the same standards for building a rocket to demand a baby toy?
"So?" she asked helplessly, "What's Mr. Xiao's advice?"
"So, let's go now and replace her with a batch of more scientific and safer ones." Xiao Xue Zheng said as a matter of course. He walked to Shi Runrun, bent down and pulled her up from the sofa.
"Let's go, the whole family, and go pick out Yiyi's first batch of strategic supplies."
So, Shi Runrun, who had just finished her company visit, was hurriedly taken by the man to the largest membership-based high-end toy city in Beijing.
Just like the supermarket in the morning, this place has also been cleared out.
The huge toy city, with three floors and a wide variety of toys, is now only serving their family.
As soon as the three little guys, Weilai, Fengfeng and Yanyan, entered this place, their eyes widened, like little mice falling into a rice jar, and they cheered and rushed to their favorite areas.
"Daddy! I want this Transformer! It's a limited edition!"
"Mommy! This Barbie castle is so pretty!"
Xiao Xue Zheng always responds to his sons and daughters' requests.
He waved his hand and gave an order to the toy store manager following behind him: "Pack up everything they like."
Then, he pushed the stroller and took Shi Runrun into the enlightenment and exploration area specially set up for babies.
Like an emperor inspecting his territory, he scanned the shelves of top-brand toys from all over the world with an extremely discerning eye.
"This design concept is outdated."
"Well, the material is not environmentally friendly enough."
"And this, too loud music can damage the baby's hearing."
He criticized as he walked. In his eyes, these valuable toys were just a pile of industrial waste.
Shi Runrun followed behind him and found it funny to see him nitpicking.
This man is so adorably paranoid in some ways.
Just when Xiao Xue Zheng was about to reject all the toys in the entire area, his attention was attracted by something in the corner.
It was an extremely beautifully crafted, pure white smart rocking horse.
The horse's body is made of top-grade beech wood and is hand-polished, with smooth and graceful lines. The saddle and reins are wrapped in calfskin imported from Italy, which feels soft.
Most importantly, there is a small LCD screen on its base.
The introduction sign next to it reads: This product has a built-in AI chip that can automatically adjust the rocking frequency and amplitude according to the baby's weight and mood, and play alpha wave music that is most suitable for their brain waves, effectively promoting their intellectual development and emotional stability.
"Well, this is just barely okay." Xiao Xue Zheng finally gave a fairly acceptable evaluation.
He was just about to ask the manager to pack it up when a male voice with a hint of arrogance suddenly came from the side.
"I want this horse."
Shi Runrun and Xiao Xuezheng turned their heads at the same time.
I saw a man wearing trendy branded clothes, looking to be in his thirties with a big belly, walking towards me with his arm around a young woman who was dressed up.
When the man saw Xiao Xue Zheng, he was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Xiao? What a coincidence, you also bring your children here to buy toys?" The man's tone was sarcastic.
Shi Runrun recognized him. He was a nouveau riche from real estate in Beijing. His surname was Wang. Some time ago, he wanted to compete with Guangzheng Group for a piece of land, but was defeated by Xiao Xuezheng and lost a lot of money.
What a narrow road for enemies to meet.
Xiao Xuezheng didn't even bother to raise his eyelids. He simply ignored him and said coldly to the manager: "Wrap it up."
"Hey, don't, Mr. Xiao." Mr. Wang was relentless and stood in front of them. He pointed at the rocking horse with a smug look on his face.
"I'm sorry, this horse was custom-made in Germany. There are only 100 of them in the world, and this is the only one in China. I already reserved it last week."
Upon hearing this, the toy store manager hurried forward and explained with an embarrassed look on his face, "Yes... yes, Mr. Xiao. This horse has indeed been reserved by Mr. Wang. How about... I recommend a few other models for you?"
Xiao Xuezheng's face darkened instantly.
The thing he had his eyes on was taken by someone else?
Especially since this person was his defeated opponent.
"Reserved?" He sneered, and his deep black eyes finally fell on Mr. Wang, his eyes as cold as ice.
"So what?"
Mr. Wang felt a little intimidated by his gaze, but relying on his own reasoning, he stiffened his neck and said, "What do you think? Everything should be based on first come, first served, right? Mr. Xiao, you have a large family and a great fortune, so you wouldn't want to compete with us ordinary people for even a toy, right?"
His words were an open sign of weakness, but secretly he was mocking Xiao Xuezheng for bullying the weak.
Shi Runrun felt a headache looking at the tense atmosphere.
She was just about to pull Xiao Xue Zheng and say forget it, it's just a toy, there's no need.
But the man next to her suddenly curled the corners of his lips, and a familiar smile appeared on his face, the kind of smile that a hunter has when he sees his prey, determined to get it.
He didn't waste any more time talking to Mr. Wang.
Instead, he took out his cell phone and called Qin Feng.
His voice was not loud, but it was clear and carried throughout the space.
"Qin Feng, I'll give you ten minutes."
"Check which listed company is the parent company of Tongmeng Toy City."
"Then, regardless of cost, buy it outright for me as quickly as possible."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Feng seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, sir."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Xue Zheng didn't even look at Mr. Wang who was completely dumbfounded, but turned his head and looked at Shi Runrun gently.
He reached out his hand and smoothed the loose hair on her forehead, his voice so doting that it could drip water.
"Give me ten minutes."
"When this store becomes ours, I will give it to you and our daughter."
"That way, it won't be considered robbery."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked down at Mr. Wang, whose face was ashen, with a condescending look and a bit of pity, and added lightly.
"By the way, after the acquisition is completed, the first thing to do is to cancel all reservation agreements with Mr. Wang."
"Customers with such poor taste are not welcome in my daughter's toy store."
The entire toy city fell into deathly silence.
Shi Runrun looked at the man in front of her, who was worried about his daughter not being able to buy toys one second, and then bought out the entire toy store the next second. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She knew that she must never challenge this man's desire to win in any area.
Especially when this matter concerns his beloved daughter.
At this moment, her eyes accidentally caught sight of a colorful promotional poster next to the cash register.
On the poster, there are some eye-catching big words printed - Beijing's first Super Dad Skills Competition, registration is now open!
Shi Runrun's eyes rolled around, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
She walked up to Xiao Xue Zheng, stood on tiptoe, leaned close to his ear, and spoke softly in a tone full of temptation.
"Mr. Xiao, just knowing how to shop doesn't make you a true super dad."
She pointed at the poster and smiled like a little fox.
"If you have the ability, why don't you participate in that competition and win the championship? Let me and my daughter see it."
