Xiao Jing is very strict with Rift and quite unkind, but essentially, he's not trying to make things difficult for others.
He feels that since he saved Rift and brought him into this small circle, he has an obligation to look after him.
Rift now has a pretty good deal in mind but doesn't dare tell Brother Fugui, so Xiao Jing helps to talk about it.
Qu Jianlei didn't think there was more to the mecha deal.
He's really craving a mecha, so he couldn't help but ask about this turn of events.

Qu Jianlei analyzed it and felt there was no logical error, feeling a bit tempted for a moment.
