Chapter 411 This is her own choice (10000)
In the end, Chen Qingrong left Xiaoyuan behind and went to the high-speed rail station to pick up Ni Shengnan.
Because he was quite interested in what Sun Cheng was going to give him.
When I saw Ni Shengnan again, she was wearing a yellow tweed coat, but only a pair of denim shorts, revealing her long beautiful legs. She had long hair, Martin boots on her feet, was dragging a suitcase, and had a branded bag on her arm.
Chen Qingrong took a deep breath when he saw this, and when he came in front of her, he asked directly, "Are you wearing a wig?"
Ni Shengnan's originally cool supermodel face collapsed instantly, "Brother Chen, long time no see, why are you still so annoying? Can't you just stop exposing me?"
Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "How can I force myself not to expose you? After all, the time span is so short, and your hair has grown so long all of a sudden. I really can't control my desire to complain."
Ni Shengnan changed the subject and asked, "Won't you help me unload my luggage?"
Chen Qingrong decisively shook his head and refused, "No, we are not related at all, why should I help you carry your luggage? You can do it yourself."
"Well, but shouldn't you show the most basic gentlemanly manners?"
"So-called gentlemanly manners are nothing but oppression of men. Besides, aren't you women all independent women? Can't independent women even drag a suitcase?"
"What's more, it's you women who are clamoring for equal rights every day. If you want equal rights, then there should be no distinction between men and women. If I help you, I'm really discriminating against you. I don't want to be put on Xiaohongshu by you."
"..."
Ni Shengnan was speechless. "Brother Chen, you are too sensitive. You should know that I am not an ordinary girl. I don't have the leisure time for that."
Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes, "You weren't like that before, but now you've become an ordinary girl. I have to be careful of you."
"Shit!" Ni Shengnan cursed, "Never mind, I don't need your help, I can drag it myself, let's go, get in your car first."
"Well, come with me."
Chen Qingrong took her out of the high-speed rail station, found his car, opened the trunk, asked her to put the suitcase in, and then asked her to sit in the back seat.
His passenger seat could only be occupied by Tang Xiaoru.
If there really is someone else who wants to sit, that person must be his parents or Tang Xiaoru's parents, as for the others, well, dammit.
After Ni Shengnan sat down, he took out a box from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qingrong, "Here, this is what Cheng Cheng asked me to bring you."
"What is this?"
Chen Qingrong took it, opened it, and found a very exquisite watch inside.
“Richard Miller.” Ni Shengnan chuckled, “The original watch without diamonds will retain its value better than after it is inlaid with diamonds.”
Chen Qingrong opened his mouth in surprise, "This watch must have cost six figures, right? Why would Sun Cheng give me such an expensive watch for no reason? I'm not celebrating my birthday."
Ni Shengnan said casually, "He bought two watches. He wore one himself and asked me to bring the other one to you, saying it was a testimony of his friendship with you. He also said that you are a big boss now and should wear a better watch."
“I have a Rolex on my wrist.”
"Cheng Cheng said Rolex is too common, and Richard Miller is more prestigious."
"Rolex is still common." Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, "Although he is my good buddy, why do I want to hit him so much after hearing such words? Also, I can't take this watch, it's too expensive, you keep it, and when you return to Beijing, you will return it to him."
Ni Shengnan quickly waved his hands, "No, no, this is a gift from Cheng Cheng to you. If I give it back to him, he will be angry with me. If you really don't want it, you can pretend to have it and return it to him in person after he returns to the Magic City. Anyway, he will be back soon."
"He's going back to the Magic City? He's not going to continue the reconstruction?"
"Rehabilitation, but he is much better now. He said that the air quality in Beijing is too bad. Every day when he opens his eyes and looks out the window, all he sees is smog, which affects his mood. It just so happens that the experts also said that he can indeed be transferred back to the hospital in his current condition, so uncle and aunt are going to find time to complete the discharge procedures for him."
After a pause, Ni Shengnan continued, "But not now, at least until next month."
"Oh." Chen Qingrong pouted. "If you don't want to take it back, just leave it with me first. I'll return it to him when he comes back. I can't help you at all. It's not good to accept such an expensive watch for no reason."
Ni Shengnan laughed dumbly, "Why are you guys so polite to each other? Cheng Cheng often told me that you are a good person in every way, except that you are too polite."
"Sun Cheng is a jerk who always talks behind people's backs." Chen Qingrong curled his lips and asked curiously, "You two have such a good relationship, are you planning to get married?"
Ni Shengnan lowered her head shyly in a feminine way, "I'm not sure yet whether my uncle and aunt will agree to our marriage. Anyway, my parents will definitely agree."
"When did Lao Sun meet your parents?"
"I haven't met him yet, but they talked on the phone." Ni Shengnan said in a low voice, "When he was treating me in the hospital, my dad called me and he insisted on answering the phone, so he answered it."
Chen Qingrong's face darkened. "You don't have to tell me everything. Let's go."
Without saying anything else, Chen Qingrong sent Ni Shengnan home first, and then he drove back to the company without wasting time.
When he arrived downstairs of the company, he happened to meet Xiaoyuan getting out of a taxi.
"Xiaoyuan." Chen Qingrong called out, "You've been at the construction site until now?"
Xiao Yuan said a little embarrassedly, "There was a fight at the construction site, so I just watched for a while longer."
Chen Qingrong said angrily, "You are really brave. There are so many good guys on the construction site, and those rough guys are willing to fight to the death. What if you are involved? Liang Qingyun will come to settle the score with me then."
Xiao Yuan said a little embarrassedly, "How does this involve him again? It has nothing to do with him."
"Did you two quarrel?"
"No." Xiaoyuan shook her head.
Chen Qingrong said, "Oh," and waved, "Let's go back to the company."
"Uh-huh."
Xiaoyuan followed him to the elevator and waited for the elevator.
At this time, she suddenly asked hesitantly, "Brother Chen, can I ask you a question? It's a very personal one."
Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Since you've already started calling me Brother Chen, of course you can ask. Go ahead."
Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered a little, and she spoke weakly, "After you and Mr. Tang confirmed your relationship, how long did it take for you to do that?"
Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It's a personal question. Let me think about it. Well, hey, I really can't remember it. Anyway, I didn't deliberately calculate the time. When the atmosphere and feelings were there, it just happened naturally."
"If you have to deliberately set a date for that kind of time, then there's really no point in talking about this relationship."
Xiao Yuan looked at him blankly, then asked tentatively, "If Mr. Tang had not given it to you, would you have been unhappy?"
Chen Qingrong shook his head decisively, "No, I'm not dating her just for her name. If she doesn't want to, it means that I haven't done enough and she is not confident in giving herself to me. It's not her fault. Why should I be unhappy?"
"Oh." Xiaoyuan lowered her head.
Chen Qingrong suddenly said, "Why, your life with Liang Qingyun is not harmonious?"
"Ah?" Xiaoyuan was startled and stammered with a red face, "No, no, we, we haven't, haven't yet."
Chen Qingrong deliberately guided her, "So you're still not confident in handing it over to him? Is he angry with you?"
Xiao Yuan looked down at her shoes and murmured, "He's not mad at me. He's not that bad. Well, to be precise, he still respects me. It's not that I don't trust myself to him. I just think it's too fast. And, I'm so scared."
Chen Qingrong said comfortingly, "If you are afraid, then you should communicate with him and tell him what is in your heart. Don't nod and shake your head when he asks you if you are willing. This will confuse him, don't you?"
Xiao Yuan suddenly stared at him, "How do you know so much?"
Chen Qingrong was embarrassed, but luckily he was thick-skinned. "I guessed, because judging from your current situation, my guess is very likely. Well, anyway, what I want to say is that the surname is also a very important link between the two of you. This is inevitable."
"If there are any problems, just communicate well. If he can't do it in the end, you should leave him as soon as possible. We don't want to be widows."
Xiaoyuan blushed and was speechless.
Ahhh.
Why should I discuss this with Brother Chen?
It seems that I really treat him as my own brother.
……
After returning to the company, I started to get busy again.
At noon, Chen Qingrong and his wife also ordered takeout and ate at the company. Tang Xiaoru also had a glass of iced American coffee because she didn't sleep well the night before.
Chen Qingrong looked at the ice cubes in the cup and his gums were trembling.
"Wife, the temperature is not high today. Won't your teeth get frozen if you drink this?" Chen Qingrong asked after taking a sip of milk tea.
He also ordered a drink, but it was warm bubble milk tea.
This is the only benefit of drinking milk tea when it’s cold. Don’t worry about whether it tastes good or not, at least it’s comfortable holding the cup.
Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "This is the cool feeling I want. My mind is a little muddled right now, and drinking something cold will wake me up completely."
Chen Qingrong asked, "Why didn't you sleep well last night? Did I steal your quilt?"
Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "That's not the case. You sleep very soundly. I don't know why. Maybe it's because you're getting old and you're easily sleep deprived."
Chen Qingrong nodded in agreement, "That's true. I always feel like I don't get enough sleep now, but I can't sleep for too long. I can only sleep for seven hours a day."
Tang Xiaoru glanced at him sideways, "So you think I'm old, right? Not young anymore, right?"
Chen Qingrong, "???"
Gululu.
He took a deep sip of the milk tea, bit the straw hard, and said angrily, "I hate chatting with scheming women like you. Your words are full of tricks. Humph!"
"You just accidentally revealed your true thoughts."
"Bullshit, I don't think you are old at all. No, you are not old at all. Trump is still working hard in his eighties, and we are not even thirty yet. We are just a bud at best."
"what."
drop.
Chen Qingrong's cell phone on the desk rang.
Tang Xiaoru took the initiative to pick it up and looked at it, then said, "It's a WeChat message from your aunt."
"My mom?" Chen Qingrong took the phone and opened WeChat, and found that it was indeed a voice message from his mother.
He clicked on the voice.
"Qingrong, you still remember your cousin Ruirui, ah, this is really embarrassing, she got pregnant by someone, and now your uncle and aunt are so angry that they are going to die."
After hearing this voice message, Chen Qingrong showed a look of shock on his face. He then looked at Tang Xiaoru and found that she was also dumbfounded.
Chen Qingrong quickly called his mother via WeChat, and the call was answered.
"Qingrong, aren't you busy?"
"I'm at the company, but your voice message scared me. What happened? How did Ruirui get pregnant? And who is the bastard who made her pregnant?"
Chen Qingrong asked anxiously.
Wang Xiu'e sighed helplessly, "Alas, this girl has been working in a garment factory in our town since she came back from Shanghai two months ago. Unexpectedly, she met a young man two or three years older than her in the garment factory, and she started dating him."
"At first, your uncle and aunt didn't know about this, and neither did we. But yesterday, she suddenly started retching while eating at home. Seeing how badly she was retching, your uncle and aunt took her to the village clinic to see an old Chinese doctor. The old doctor felt her pulse and found out that she was pregnant."
"The child should be that young boy. Your uncle went to look for the young boy's parents early in the morning. Fortunately, his parents are from the town. The monk can run away but the temple cannot. If he ran away again, it would be too..."
Chen Qingrong frowned, "What did Ruirui say? Did she do it voluntarily, or did that bastard force her?"
"Rui Rui said that she was willing to do it, and that she and that person were truly in love, but I felt that she was more deceived by the sweet words of that young man. She is only 18 years old, how could she understand what love is? This is such a sin."
"So what are your uncle and aunt's plans?"
"I asked, and they said that the child must not be kept and must be aborted. As for the young man, they would not let him go. They wanted to call the police, but Ruirui refused to let them. Your uncle wanted to ask them for compensation. However, from what they said, it seems that they are willing to let their child marry Ruirui and keep the child."
"They are just daydreaming." Chen Qingrong was very angry. "That man is a beast, and his family are beasts too. They want a wife and a grandson for no reason, right? How can such a good thing happen! Sue them and let their son go to jail!"
Wang Xiu'e sighed again, "Alas, our opinion does not count in this matter. It still depends on your uncle and aunt's decision. However, they mean that it is better not to make a big fuss about this matter. After all, Ruirui is a little girl. If it is too big, it will be difficult for her to get married."
"Let's do this for now. I have to go to the fields to find your father and ask him to come back for dinner. If there is any progress, let us know on WeChat later."
"Why is Dad working in the fields again? Isn't it Uncle Three who should do it?" Chen Qingrong was very dissatisfied.
Wang Xiu'e said helplessly, "Your third uncle did it. I didn't lie to you about this. However, your father is stubborn and still wants to go to the fields. Your grandmother and I can't stop him. Now they are doing it together."
"Ok."
Chen Qingrong didn't know what to say.
If it were him, he could just sit there and watch the third uncle work himself to death, but his father really couldn't do that.
Alas, the foolish filial piety that is ingrained in the bones of the older generation.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong conveyed to Tang Xiaoru what his mother had said to him.
Tang Xiaoru was also very angry after hearing this, "Rui Rui is still so young, but she was harmed by that little thug in the factory. That damn little thug should really be sent to be a eunuch!"
"My advice is to call the police!"
Chen Qingrong said, "I also hope that my uncle and aunt will call the police, but I guess they won't. After all, they have to consider Ruirui's reputation. Besides, Ruirui insisted that she volunteered. Even if the police come, they won't be able to do anything to that gangster."
Tang Xiaoru looked at him deeply and asked, "How do you think this matter will develop in the end?"
Chen Qingrong said quietly, "I guess there are two possible outcomes. One, the gangster's family pays compensation, and my uncle and his friends take Ruirui to abort the baby. Two, we let them get married and have children. After all, there are many people in the countryside who get married early."
"This..." Tang Xiaoru didn't know how to respond. She just clenched the pen in her hand angrily and said, "I just feel sorry for Ruirui. She is still so young and has a brighter future. She shouldn't have a child and become a mother so early. Isn't this a waste of youth?"
Chen Qingrong shook his head helplessly, "I feel the same as you, but, after all, this is her own choice, and none of us can say anything. Some people's paths may have been decided from the beginning."
"From this point, we can see how important compulsory education is. We should not drop out of school too early. By learning more knowledge, we can broaden our horizons and avoid encountering the scum of society."
"Ugh."
Tang Xiaoru also sighed.
She really felt sorry for Ruirui.
If this were her daughter, she would be so angry that she would die.
At this time, Tang Xiaoru's cell phone rang. She immediately picked it up and answered, "Hello, Director Xie, I'm at the company now, oh? Is that so? OK, then I'll be there right away. OK, OK, I'll be there as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, she said to Chen Qingrong, "Honey, let's go out for a while."
Chen Qingrong stood up and asked casually, "Are you going to see the excited Mr. Xie?"
Tang Xiaoru nodded first and then shook her head, "It is related to Director Xie, but I am not going to have fun to meet Director Xie. Instead, I am going to help pick up her precious granddaughter Tiantian from school."
"Pick up the child?" Chen Qingrong was stunned. "No, Xiaoru, we are equal partners after all, how come you have fallen to being a babysitter now?"
Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you mean by babysitter? Because her son and daughter-in-law are both out of town, and she's in a meeting now, so she doesn't have time to pick them up, so she asked us to go."
"That's perfect. After we pick up her granddaughter, we can take her to her company to see her and sign the first phase of the cooperation plan."
"I see." Chen Qingrong was curious again, "Such a wealthy family, don't they have bodyguards?"
Tang Xiaoru said helplessly, "Of course there are bodyguards, but Tiantian doesn't like her bodyguards. She talked to me well, so Mr. Xie asked me to help."
"They are the client, it's no big deal for us to help them."
"Okay, I'll go with you, let's go."
"Uh-huh."
The couple left the company first and drove off. Not long after Tang Xiaoru got in the car, she found the Richard Miller watch box. She picked it up and looked at it, then asked Chen Qingrong, "Did Sun Cheng give it to you?"
Chen Qingrong asked back, "Why don't you think I bought it myself? In your mind, is your husband someone who can't afford Richard Miller?"
Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "It's not that you can't afford Richard Miller, it's that you are too stingy and you can't afford it. I know you too well."
"It seems that I have to find time to spend lavishly in the future to change your mind."
"Okay, I'll wait and see."
Tang Xiaoru laughed even more happily.
But she knew in her heart that Chen Qingrong was just talking nonsense. No matter how rich he was, he would not be willing to buy himself such an expensive watch.
Everyone has different values.
Chen Qingrong would rather use the money to do something else. He personally is not really interested in luxury watches and cars.
"Sun Cheng asked Ni Shengnan to bring it to me, but I don't plan to keep it. I will wait for him to come back next month and then I will return it to him in person." Chen Qingrong expressed his thoughts.
Tang Xiaoru put the watch box back with a smile, "You have to keep it well. Otherwise, if you lose it, I will ask you to buy a new one with your own money. You will be so upset."
Chen Qingrong said shamelessly, "If I really lose it, I won't spend my own money to buy a new one. I can ask my father-in-law to buy me one. He is richer than me, hehe."
"Hey, who was the one who said he felt uneasy after receiving a Rolex from my dad?"
"Things are different now. My father-in-law and I are as close as brothers. I feel very comfortable spending his money."
"Go to hell." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him. "Your generation is messed up, okay? If you and my dad are brothers, then what does the relationship between you and me become?"
Chen Qingrong touched his chin and said, "If you want to call me uncle, I don't mind."
"roll roll roll."
……
Tiantian goes to the best primary school in Shanghai, No. 2 Elementary School. When they arrived, there were not many parents coming to pick up their children.
After all, it’s not time to go home from school yet.
Chen Qingrong also asked Tang Xiaoru if it was too early to come before school was over.
As a result, Tang Xiaoru told him that it was Tiantian who called her grandmother to ask to go home. Her grandmother felt sorry for her precious granddaughter, so she decided to let her leave early. After all, it was not the first time she had done this.
After listening to Tang Xiaoru's explanation, Chen Qingrong could only sigh, "It's great to have children from wealthy families. She is the only child of the third generation of the Xie family. In the future, the Xie family's property will be handed over to her to inherit. What's the point of not going to school? She won't lack food and clothing."
Tang Xiaoru said, "It has nothing to do with whether one is rich or not. It's just that Mr. Xie dotes on his children too much. My family was already wealthy when I was a child, but my parents still made sure I studied hard."
“Learning is always a shortcut to changing your destiny.”
Chen Qingrong didn't quite agree with what Tang Xiaoru said.
It may have been the case in the past, but now with more and more damn rich people and the serious imbalance of social resources, even if you get a PhD or a master's degree, it is still difficult to have a good future if you have no connections and background.
This is no longer an era that values academic qualifications; this era belongs to speculators.
The couple first found a place to park the car, then went to the school gate and talked to the security guard. The security guard picked up the intercom and greeted them twice. Soon, a beautiful female teacher came over with a chubby, round-faced and cute little girl.
She helped carry the schoolbag.
This is Mr. Xie’s beloved granddaughter, her full name is Xie Tianyi and her nickname is Tiantian.
Chen Qingrong had only seen her photos on Tiantian’s WeChat Moments before. This was the first time he saw her in person offline. To be honest, she looks really like her grandmother.
"Tiantian! Here!" Tang Xiaoru waved and shouted.
Tiantian immediately ran over excitedly, "Sister Xiaoru, nice to see you again!"
She didn't call her Aunt Xiaoru, but always called her Sister Xiaoru. I guess this is why Tang Xiaoru likes her so much.
After all, she has a sweet mouth.
Some little kids are just so tactless that they call everyone uncle or grandpa all the time. Chen Qingrong even met a ten-year-old boy who called him uncle, which made him so angry that he wanted to kick him away.
If his father wasn't as strong as a wrestler, Chen Qingrong would have used Taro's flying kick.
"I miss you so much, Tiantian." Tang Xiaoru smiled and picked up the little girl, and introduced Chen Qingrong to her, "Tiantian, let me introduce you, this is my husband, you can just call Qingrong brother."
Tiantian rolled her eyes and called out crisply, "Hello, Uncle Chen."
Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched, and he took Tiantian's schoolbag from the female teacher with resentment, and said, "Hello, hello, Xiao Tiantian, you are chubby and so cute."
Tiantian pouted in dissatisfaction, "I'm not fat, not fat."
"Okay, okay, our Tiantian is not fat." Tang Xiaoru saw that she was about to get angry and quickly coaxed her, blaming Chen Qingrong, "Chen Qingrong, how can you say to my face that a girl is fat? It's so rude, don't say it anymore."
Chen Qingrong smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I won't tell you, I won't tell you."
After picking up Tiantian, Chen Qingrong drove her to her grandmother's house.
This time, Tang Xiaoru did not sit in the passenger seat. Instead, she sat in the back seat and talked and laughed with Tiantian. Chen Qingrong's head began to hurt because of Tiantian's oriole-like laughter.
He even began to doubt himself.
He thinks other people’s children are noisy. If he and Xiaoru have a child in the future, will he also think it is noisy?
Is he really ready to be a father?
In the midst of this soul-searching, they arrived at the HiFanTian headquarters.
The young couple took Tiantian to see her grandmother. When the little princess appeared, her employees immediately came over to flatter her. The most outrageous thing Chen Qingrong heard was that a man praised Tiantian's beautiful manicure.
No, buddy, you're not even as good at flattering as I am. It seems there's no hope for you to get promoted.
"Milk!"
"Hey!" Director Xie happily hugged his precious granddaughter and expressed his gratitude to Chen Qingrong and the others, "Boss Tang, Boss Chen, you guys have worked so hard. Tiantian was not very well behaved in the car, was she?"
Chen Qingrong lied with his eyes open, "No, no, Tiantian was very well behaved in the car. I have never seen such a well-behaved and cute child in my life. Director Xie, you are so lucky."
Director Xie burst into laughter and said to Tang Xiaoru, "Boss Tang, did you hear that? Boss Chen is starting to hint that you should have a baby with him, too. Hahaha."
Tang Xiaoru said shyly, "It's still early. I still have to see how he performs."
"Haha, please take a seat, both of you. I'll call our company's legal department over right now. The contract has been drafted. If you have no problem with it after reading it, we can sign it today."
"Okay, thank you very much, Dong."
Mr. Xie made a phone call and asked the legal department to bring the contract over.
While waiting, Director Xie received another call from her secretary. She didn't know what the secretary said to her, but she looked at Tang Xiaoru meaningfully.
"Let him go back and tell him that I already have a partner and ask him not to bother me anymore." Mr. Xie hung up the phone.
Then she said with a smile, "It's Hua Teng's boss, Mr. Hua. Mr. Hua has always wanted to win our big project this time. He started to contact us before you did. I personally don't like the atmosphere of their company, so I finally chose your company."
Tang Xiaoru said with gratitude, "Thank you very much for your trust, Dong. Please rest assured that we will give 200% of our efforts to make you absolutely satisfied."
"With President Tang's words, I feel relieved, haha."
After signing the contract, the couple stayed for a while before leaving.
When the elevator went down, Chen Qingrong finally grinned, "Now that Xiaoru is taken care of, we should start arranging the second task when we return to the company, right?"
Tang Xiaoru hummed, and then said, "I'll take charge of this second project myself. Also, isn't Gao Qiang leaving at the end of the month? The vacant position needs someone else to fill it, so it looks like we need to recruit new people again."
Chen Qingrong asked in confusion, "Haven't you already poached the people from Dust Pearl? Can't you just let them take over?"
Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "It's not that simple. The people I recruited are all middle and senior management. It's okay to ask them to make suggestions and make decisions, but if you ask them to go to the site to do something, they will feel insulted."
Chen Qingrong was speechless. "What are you guys pretending to be? No matter how awesome a general manager is, he had to start from a junior clerk, right? Unless his father is the chairman. Even if his father is the chairman, his father had to run sales when he started the business, right? Why do you look down on grassroots employees?"
"We can't tolerate this kind of bad habit. I'll have to keep an eye on them after they take office."
Tang Xiaoru narrowed her eyes at him and said, "You are not going to take revenge on me, are you? After all, they were your superiors before."
Chen Qingrong smiled carefreely, "Look at what you said. Am I the kind of person who would take revenge on someone else? I'm just pretending to be cool, but I won't cause trouble for them on purpose."
"I just like to show off." Tang Xiaoru was a little dissatisfied, "Does showing off make you so happy?"
Chen Qingrong glanced at her and said, "Pretending to be cool can only bring me psychological pleasure, but criticizing others can make me feel happy all over."
Tang Xiaoru snorted twice and didn't respond.
Chen Qingrong muttered to himself again, "I don't know how our human ancestors discovered this matter. I really admire their brain circuits. Our great China is full of talented people."
The corners of Tang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, and she wanted to complain, but she finally held it back.
When Chen Qingrong is being silent, you'd better not respond, otherwise he will never stop.
Ding dong.
The elevator finally reached the first floor.
After the couple walked out of the elevator, they headed outside the company. Just as they arrived at the company door, a rough male voice suddenly sounded.
"You two stay here."
"Ok?"
Chen Qingrong frowned and looked back, only to find a middle-aged man with a 5:5 build and a greasy face. He was clearly smiling, but you couldn't sense a trace of warmth in his smile.
A standard fake business smile.
Moreover, Chen Qingrong always felt that this person looked familiar. Where had he seen him before?
Tang Xiaoru recognized the man faster than he did. "You are Mr. Hua Ningyu, the CEO of Huateng Design, right? Hello, Mr. Hua. I have seen you on the financial channel before. I didn't expect to meet you offline now. It is really my honor."
Hua Ningyu?
Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment, then he remembered where he had seen it.
Just as Xiaoru said, Hua Ningyu has been on the financial channel and was on the cover of some magazines last year. He is considered a popular boss in the industry.
and many more.
Didn’t Mr. Xie say earlier upstairs that Huateng’s boss was also keeping an eye on their project this time?
and so……
He comes with bad intentions.
Hua Ningyu smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, both of you. I heard from the front desk that you two are Mr. Tang and Mr. Chen from Chen Tangguan Design Co., Ltd. who were received by Mr. Xie, right?"
"Hello, President Hua." Chen Qingrong stretched out his hand and shook it with him. "Excuse me, my last name is Chen, Chen Qingrong. The person next to me is my fiancée, Tang Xiaoru, who is also the president of our company."
"I see, I see." Hua Ningyu pulled back his hand and looked at Tang Xiaoru meaningfully. "Have I met Mr. Tang somewhere before? Well, I remember, Mr. Tang seemed to be the design director of Chenzhu before? I went to Chenzhu and I seemed to have seen you at that time."
Tang Xiaoru did not hide it and said, "Yes, we both worked at Chenzhu before, but I had not had the honor of meeting you, President Hua, in person at that time."
"Hahaha, what's lucky or unlucky? I'm not a big shot. I'm just a businessman who makes a living." Hua Ningyu smiled modestly and went straight to the point. "Just now I wanted to see Director Xie. Director Xie said he was meeting an honored guest. The honored guests are you two?"
"It's true that we were meeting Mr. Xie just now, but we are not honored guests. We just came to discuss cooperation with Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie is too kind to us." Tang Xiaoru was even more humble than him.
Hua Ningyu laughed and went straight to the point, "Then Director Xie's company's project this time is a collaboration with your company?"
Tang Xiaoru smiled softly, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Hua, I'm one step ahead of you, my senior."
"Ha, it's okay, it's okay. You and I are not opponents, so how can there be a winner or loser?" Hua Ningyu smiled unnaturally, coughed again, and said in a magnanimous manner, "Then I wish you a happy cooperation."
"Thank you, Mr. Hua. We will take our leave now."
"Goodbye."
Tang Xiaoru took Chen Qingrong away first.
On the way back, Chen Qingrong said, "I always feel that Hua Ningyu is not a good person. I always feel that he is smiling but hiding a knife behind his smile."
Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "That's normal. After all, we stole such a big project from him. It's considered polite of him not to swear in front of us."
"People who curse at you in person are not to be feared. What's to be feared is people who smile at you even when you throw shit in their face." Chen Qingrong pouted and added, "Besides, what do you mean by robbing? We got it through our own efforts. You didn't use the word robbing very appropriately."
Tang Xiaoru smiled and put her hand on his thigh and slid it, saying, "Yes, yes, you are right. We shouldn't have snatched it."
Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment, then drove the car with one hand and unbuckled his belt with the other.
Tang Xiaoru was stunned. "What are you doing? Are you full?"
Chen Qingrong had a look on his face that said, "Stop pretending. You were just sliding on my legs, weren't you hinting at me? I'm the most reasonable person. You're welcome, please."
Tang Xiaoru, "???"
"Please, you idiot!" Tang Xiaoru gritted her teeth angrily, "Humph, you sound like I like it very much, but I don't like it. As long as you are a normal woman, you don't like it. This is just oppression of us women by you men, humph!"
Chen Qingrong said perfunctorily, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, we forced you to do this. If you have the guts, don't ask for it when you go home at night."
"Humph!"
Tang Xiaoru thought to herself, I want it. The me in the car is not the same me at home, so why can’t I have it?
After arriving at the company, I continued to be busy for a few more hours, and then it was time to get off work.
The couple did not eat out in the evening, but went to the supermarket to buy noodles, tomatoes and eggs. This was what Tang Xiaoru specifically asked for. It was not that Chen Qingrong was stingy and did not buy meat.
When they got home, Chen Qingrong started to heat up the oil and cook. After Tang Xiaoru washed the tomatoes and eggplants, Chen Qingrong asked her to sit on the sofa.
Tang Xiaoru picked up her phone and started to check Weibo. As she was checking, she shouted, "Honey, someone on Weibo broke the news that Bingbing is in a relationship. It's so convincing."
Chen Qingrong leaned over to look at her, "So did Miss Yang have the conversation?"
Tang Xiaoru said confidently, "It's definitely just hype. Look, the male lead was revealed to be the male lead in Bingbing's new drama. Isn't this hyping up the couple's popularity? If Bingbing was really in a relationship, she would definitely tell me the first time."
Chen Qingrong thought about it and agreed.
After all, she is a good friend.
Jingle Bell.
Chen Qingrong's cell phone on the dining table rang, and Tang Xiaoru quickly got up and picked it up to take a look.
"Honey, it's Auntie calling."
"Please help me answer it. My hands are all greasy and it's inconvenient to answer it."
"Okay." Tang Xiaoru answered the phone, "Hello, Auntie, this is Xiaoru, have you had dinner?"
"It's Xiaoru, you guys are home, right?" There was some fatigue in Wang Xiu'e's voice.
Tang Xiaoru said, "We're already here. Chen Qingrong and I are cooking."
Wang Xiu'e forced a smile, "I see. By the way, Qingrong told you about Ruirui's situation, right? I still had to talk about this when I called. After I called Qingrong to tell him about this today, Ruirui committed suicide by cutting her wrists."
"Ah? What? Ruirui..."
"She didn't die. She was saved." Wang Xiu'e gave the frightened Tang Xiaoru another injection of sedative.
Thanks for the monthly ticket for Fresh Shrimp and Crab Roe Wonton Noodles. Please give me the ticket for next month. It’s almost the end of the month, so I’ll give it a try.
