Chapter 396: Chen Qingrong, a tea-like person (5300)
After Tang Xiaoru got out of bed and washed up, she sat at the dining table and Chen Qingrong brought her breakfast.
"Hurry up and sit down." Tang Xiaoru took his hand and sat down, urging him, "Tell me quickly, what solution have you come up with? You're not really going to sue them for copyright infringement or something, are you?"
Chen Qingrong smiled, took a bite of the sandwich, and shook his head. "That's not the case. After my research, I found that they don't seem to have any infringement points to sue. However, I found a more critical point."
"Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me!" Tang Xiaoru stamped her feet anxiously.
She was even more anxious now than when Chen Qingrong couldn't untie her ny belt.
Because she was eager to find out what big talk Chen Qingrong was going to make and what awesome ideas he had come up with.
Chen Qingrong chuckled and got to the point. "Don't worry, let me tell you slowly. I woke up at around four this morning and went to the living room with my computer to check. I ended up digging up something that happened a long time ago."
"Li Qianhua's son is called Li Ping. I met him yesterday. He looks like a decent boy, but he is more playful than he appears. According to the information I found, a news station broke the news that Li Ping got a girl named Huahua pregnant in Qianbian Company. Originally, this matter would not have been known by the news station, but Huahua asked Li Ping to pay for her abortion. Li Ping was unwilling, so Huahua exposed the matter."
"Later, Li Qianhua hired someone to suppress the incident, and Huahua disappeared without a trace. Many people who were watching the fun at the time speculated that she had received a large sum of money and ran away."
"There is such a thing?" Tang Xiaoru narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment. She asked tentatively, "Then what does this have to do with Qianbian?"
"It's a big deal." Chen Qingrong picked up the cup and took a big gulp of milk, grinning, "After my unremitting efforts, I finally found the Weibo account that Huahua used before. Although the last update was more than a year ago, I was able to contact her through a private message on Weibo."
"I claimed to be a journalist and was very interested in what happened back then. I wanted to make a front-page headline. Huahua was quite cautious at first. No matter how I sent her messages, she wouldn't reply. Then I made her an offer. I said if she could provide me with some more inside information about what happened back then, I would give her one million. Guess what Huahua said?"
"Did she get back to you?"
"Well, this time she replied to me within seconds, which is enough to prove that this woman did not fail to see my message. She was considering and weighing. I have read her Weibo. Before she stopped updating, she posted photos of various luxury goods. She was just a secretary in Qianbian back then. If Li Ping hadn't given her money, how could she have afforded so many expensive bags with her spending power?"
"Li Qianhua must have given a lot of money to suppress this matter. Judging from this woman's lavish habits, she must have spent almost all of Li Qianhua's money. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. She's used to a lifestyle where she spends money like water. Do you think she can live happily?"
"As soon as she heard that there was more money to be taken for free, she replied to me immediately."
Tang Xiaoru opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "I think I understand what you mean. Do you want to dig up what happened back then to deal with Qian Bian? But the incident back then has already been exposed once. If it is brought up again now, it will just be a rehash of the past. This should not have much impact on the mother and son of the Li family, right?"
Chen Qingrong laughed, "It doesn't need to have a big impact, just find an event to divert their attention. It's just like a fly. A fly bite is not painful, but what if you eat a fly in your food? That would be disgusting."
Tang Xiaoru frowned slightly, "So you mean, we are the fly?"
Chen Qingrong laughed, "We are not the flies, Huahua is the fly, we are just the ones who let the flies go."
"How disgusting." Tang Xiaoru pouted in disgust, "Will you let me eat?"
"Okay, okay, let's not use that analogy for now." Chen Qingrong took another sip of milk and continued, "Anyway, I will go over to meet Huahua at noon today. I want to dig out more explosive material from her."
Tang Xiaoru pondered for a moment and asked, "Isn't this a bit too tight-rope-walking?"
"Do you think this is unethical?"
"That's not the case. Qianbian can sue us for infringement with such trumped-up charges. Any counterattack we make is just. I'm just worried that the cornered dog will jump over the wall. What if something happens to Huahua again?"
"Well, are you afraid that Li Qianhua and her son will hire someone to kill Huahua? Have you watched too many TV dramas?"
"Art comes from reality." Tang Xiaoru tore off some of the sandwich and soaked it in milk, then continued, "In short, I think this matter is still somewhat dangerous. I reserve my opinion, but I don't object to you doing this."
Chen Qingrong pouted, "As long as you don't object, I'll take care of the rest. Come eat, honey."
"Ok."
……
After dinner and changing clothes, the couple went to the company.
On the way, Tang Xiaoru added her, Yang Bingbing and Liang Qingyun to a WeChat group. She tagged the two of them in the WeChat group and said that they would meet at her house at 8 o'clock tonight.
Yang Bingbing, "Cute, cute."
Liang Qingyun, "Received, sister-in-law!"
Liang Qingyun @ Yang Bingbing, "Ms. Yang, I am your fan, I really like your movies! Please sign an autograph for me tonight."
Yang Bingbing, "Smile, OK."
"Bingbing is quite aloof." Tang Xiaoru looked at the chat history in the WeChat group and smiled at Chen Qingrong, "If President Liang hadn't gotten together with Xiaoyuan, I would be willing to introduce Bingbing to her."
"Compared to Gao Qiang, Mr. Liang and Bingbing have similar family backgrounds. Mr. Liang is not like those dandy guys in the outside world who like to mess around. Instead, he is very innocent. If Bingbing gets along with him, it will be a good ending for her."
Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "If you want to bring them together, then I will instigate Liang Qingyun to break up with Xiaoyuan and let him be with Yang Bingbing."
"Don't!" Tang Xiaoru was startled and scolded him angrily, "You are crazy, Xiaoyuan has always regarded you as a big brother, how could you do such a wicked thing?"
After a pause, she continued, "Besides, it is better to destroy ten temples than to break up a marriage. You can't do such a thing."
Chen Qingrong was amused. "I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? Besides, based on the information I have now, Xiaoyuan and Liang Qingyun's relationship has improved by leaps and bounds. Even if I try to break it up, I can't."
"Just like you and me, no one can separate us."
"Tsk." Tang Xiaoru curled her lips and asked tentatively, "So what you mean is that Xiaoyuan and Mr. Liang have already done that?"
Chen Qingrong shook his head. "How would I know? I guess he hasn't yet. After all, Liang Qingyun told me a little bit that day. He seemed to mean that he wanted to wait until after marriage before doing that or something."
Tang Xiaoru snorted and said unhappily, "Look how much he respects girls. Unlike you, you were so anxious to take off your pants not long after talking to me. You're a born hooligan!"
Chen Qingrong retorted, "It's not your turn to talk about 傑, is it? Who said that men don't recognize women after getting out of bed? It's obviously you women who don't recognize men after getting out of bed."
"I bother!"
We arrived at the company while arguing.
The employees also arrived early. Tang Xiaoru went to find the finance department and reminded her to prepare the financial statements and pay slips as soon as possible.
Chen Qingrong asked worriedly, "Is the cash flow in our company's account enough for us to pay our employees' salaries?"
Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and complained, "I don't know what you are worried about. How much money can we spend on employee salaries? Not to mention our own cash flow, the advance payment from Haoda Real Estate alone is enough. Have you forgotten that we are also making money?"
"Hey, I really forgot about this." Chen Qingrong slapped his forehead and thought of something else, "When is the water and electricity bill due?"
"On the 20th, you can pay it after you return to your hometown to pay respect to your ancestors."
"Not too many, I hope."
"Stop worrying about it and go get busy." Tang Xiaoru quickly reached out and squeezed his hand, then turned and went to the office.
Chen Qingrong returned to his workstation and sat down. He immediately saw Gao Qiang and Li Lingling chatting animatedly there.
It's very strange. There are obviously more than just the two of them in the new media department now, but Gao Qiang seems to only want to talk to her.
So near noon, Chen Qingrong took the opportunity when Gao Qiang went to the toilet and followed him in.
"Mr. Chen, are you here to pee too?" Gao Qiang grinned when he saw him.
Chen Qingrong came to him and opened the floodgates, and asked tentatively, "You and Didi had a good chat. I saw you today, and you made her laugh so much."
Gao Qiang blushed and said a little embarrassedly, "It's okay, we just have a lot of common topics, and don't get me wrong, we didn't talk about personal matters during working hours, we were talking about official business."
"She is indeed very capable. After the official account was established, she came up with all the solutions for traffic diversion. I feel that she is more capable of being the team leader than I am."
Zira.
Chen Qingrong zipped up his jeans and rolled his eyes at him, "Don't underestimate yourself. You are the team leader appointed by our President Tang. You have to trust her judgment. Also, as your good brother, I want to remind you from a personal standpoint that it's okay for you to associate with Didi, but don't have too much private contact with her. She is not someone you can afford to offend."
Gao Qiang heard the hidden meaning in his words and said weakly, "Are you worried that I will get together with her? Don't worry, I won't. Since breaking up with Bingbing, all I want to do is work hard. I have sealed my heart and locked away my love. And I also know that she and I are not suitable. You don't have to worry."
Chen Qingrong didn't respond to this, nor did he really believe it.
It is so hypocritical for a man to say that he has sealed his heart and locked away his love.
Just like many men, after watching an action movie to relieve stress, swear never to reward themselves again, but when they are really anxious, won’t they still open the website obediently?
Even if you appear very determined at the time, and even delete all the websites, you will still look for it desperately when it is time to find it. This is purely deceiving yourself.
Therefore, Chen Qingrong did not believe a single punctuation mark in Gao Qiang's words.
He had gradually formed a preliminary plan in his mind and was just waiting for the right time. …
As soon as lunch time came, Chen Qingrong left the company first.
He went to see Huahua.
As soon as I got downstairs, Tang Xiaoru called me.
"Honey, are you still in the company?"
"I just went downstairs. I'm going to see Huahua. I told you this morning." Chen Qingrong smiled casually.
Tang Xiaoru said solemnly, "Come up first, you don't have to meet him."
Chen Qingrong was startled, "Why?"
"Come up first, and we'll talk face to face."
"Ok."
Chen Qingrong hung up the phone and then returned to the company.
After arriving at Tang Xiaoru's office, Tang Xiaoru asked him to close the door, then walked over and sat on his lap.
"Hubby, you don't have to go see that Huahua. She has already gone abroad." Tang Xiaoru was determined to shock the audience.
Chen Qingrong was stunned and asked subconsciously, "How do you know?"
Tang Xiaoru looked at him deeply and said, "About ten minutes ago, Li Qianhua called me. She pointed out the fact that we were in contact with Huahua. She asked us not to dig up the incident again and was willing to drop the lawsuit against us. We should both take a step back and pretend that this incident never happened."
Chen Qingrong's expression was extremely ugly. "How did she know that we were in contact with Huahua?"
It was just a moment of confusion, and Chen Qingrong reacted instantly, "Huahua contacted her? She wants to marry a woman to two men? Damn, this bitch!"
According to Chen Qingrong's analysis, after Huahua learned from him that he wanted to spend one million to buy the inside information of that year, he contacted Li Qianhua immediately and told Li Qianhua the news, while extorting a higher price.
In order to avoid bringing up the past again, Li Qianhua agreed to her request.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain how Li Qianhua knew that they were in contact with Huahua.
She doesn't have the ability to see and hear from afar.
Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "That's what I guessed too. Now it seems that what happened back then was definitely not just a simple sex scandal. There must be more involved. Otherwise, Li Qianhua wouldn't have softened his attitude so quickly after more than a year had passed when he heard that we were going to bring this up again."
"If it was just her son who got Huahua pregnant, she had already paid money to settle it back then. Even if Huahua tells it now, it shouldn't have a big impact on their family."
Chen Qingrong slapped his thigh angrily, "Damn it, I should have gone to meet Huahua early this morning. I missed out on more explosive news this time."
Tang Xiaoru comforted him, "Don't blame yourself so much. I believe that even if you wanted to see her early this morning, she would not see you. This woman is too greedy. One million yuan can't satisfy her appetite."
Chen Qingrong was silent for a moment with a gloomy face before asking, "Did you agree to Li Qianhua?"
"I agree." Tang Xiaoru nodded, but added, "But I have an additional request. I want them to publicly apologize on their official website and tag our official account."
Chen Qingrong's eyes lit up and he laughed, "Okay, okay, advertising, right? This is also good, it's also like feeding flies into their food."
"However, after this, Qianbian should be in a hostile relationship with us, so we have to be careful."
"Don't be afraid." Tang Xiaoru shook her head and said confidently, "We are not in the same business, and they can't take away any of our business. Don't worry."
"Ah."
"I'm hungry." Tang Xiaoru's eyes sparkled, "I want to eat something."
Chen Qingrong immediately said, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you, or I'll take you out to eat?"
"Dick."
"what?"
Suck yo yo.
……
Just before getting off work in the afternoon, the finance department came to find Tang Xiaoru and handed her the report and payroll.
Tang Xiaoru took a look and then signed.
Their company pays salaries on the 12th of every month and the money is deposited into employees' pay cards.
Originally, Chen Qingrong suggested sending them WeChat messages directly, but was reprimanded by Tang Xiaoru with the words "If you don't learn good things, you will learn bad things."
When it's time to get off work in the evening, everyone who needs to leave will leave.
Tang Xiaoru and her family are going to host a dinner for Liang Qingyun and Yang Bingbing at home tonight, so the couple has to go buy some food early and go home to prepare.
You can't just let them talk face to face, right?
Got to eat and drink something.
"Hubby." Tang Xiaoru pulled Chen Qingrong and pointed to the door, "Did you notice that Gao Qiang and the new guy were very close?"
Chen Qingrong asked back, "Did you just discover it?"
Tang Xiaoru was about to say something when Xiaoyuan came.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Tang, I would like to take a leave tomorrow. My cousin is getting married and I have to go back to be the bridesmaid. I really can't turn it down." Xiaoyuan said a little embarrassedly.
Tang Xiaoru agreed, "Okay, go ahead and have fun."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Tang, thank you Mr. Chen."
"Xiaoyuan, do you have a date with Mr. Liang tonight?" Chen Qingrong suddenly asked.
Xiao Yuan said a little embarrassedly, "No, he said he had to meet a very important guest in the evening, so we didn't make an appointment."
"Did he tell you whether it was a boy or a girl?"
"He didn't say, and I was too embarrassed to ask."
"Then let me tell you, he's going to have dinner with the famous star Yang Bingbing tonight. He might think it's not a good idea to let you know. Don't blame him, he really didn't mean to hide it from you."
Chen Qingrong said with a teary tone.
Xiaoyuan's expression changed, and then she said self-deprecatingly, "Oh, that's good. I, I'll go first."
"Be careful on the road."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaoyuan left.
Tang Xiaoru pinched Chen Qingrong's arm in dissatisfaction and blamed him, "Why did you say that? Aren't you just looking for trouble to create a love triangle?"
Chen Qingrong said mysteriously, "Of course not. I am giving them an assist. Believe me, they will thank me."
"Aren't you afraid of ruining the game and extinguishing the little flame that others have finally ignited?"
"Probably, no?"
Jingle Bell.
Tang Xiaoru's cell phone rang.
She took it out and looked at it, then answered the phone. "Hey, dear mom, what's wrong? What? Is it true?"
Thanks for the monthly ticket of 20240915. I will write about the last episode of Chen Qingrong's awesome plot tomorrow. It must be before the ancestor worship. In addition, this should not be considered a business war drama, right? Oh, I dare not write it. I dare not write it at all.
