First spoiled, then love

Chapter 512 Tang Xiaoru: I am a fertile person (11000)

Chen Qingrong wondered how big of a figure could someone be to scare him so much?
Could it be the kind of reincarnation through the impure world?

But after seeing him in person, Chen Qingrong was really scared.

"Sister Na?"

Chen Qingrong looked at Zheng Na in disbelief when she appeared in Yang Bingbing's house.

Since he was a child, he has liked watching Happy Camp hosted by Sister Na and Teacher He, but he never expected that one day he would be able to meet them in person.

And she looks so old.

But if you think about it carefully, I'm already in my forties, so it's normal to look a little older, right?
"Hahaha, hello, hello, you must be the two great designers that Bingbing introduced to me, hahaha."

As soon as Sister Na appeared, she started laughing with her signature hearty laughter, which sounded very honest.

Although I don’t know what her true nature is like, people who love to laugh generally have good relationships with others, so they won’t be disliked by others.

The reason she came here this time was to ask someone to help her design a house because she and her husband bought a villa in Tomson One. After she met Chen Qingrong and others, she briefly explained her requirements and Chen Qingrong drew a design sketch on the spot.

Sister Na was very satisfied. The two sides chatted for more than an hour and finalized the cooperation matters. Finally, she left first.

"Thank you, Bingbing. Although it's not as big as a project like the airport, it's not bad to earn some extra money. Chen Qingrong, I see you're so concerned about this, so I'll let you take charge of this matter."

"Ok." Chen Qingrong seemed very excited, and he rarely flattered Yang Bingbing, "Why is our sister Bingbing called a little queen? She can even invite sister Na to her home. She is so impressive."

Yang Bingbing glanced at him and asked, "Do you like Sister Na very much?"

"Yes, I loved watching the programs they hosted when I was a child. I am very honored to serve them this time." Chen Qingrong grinned.

Yang Bingbing sneered meaningfully, "Oh, you are honored, but the real estate agent is going to hate them to death."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you read the media reports? Sister Na and her husband first found an agent to buy the house. But when the negotiation with the agent was almost over, in order to save a little bit of handling fee, they closed the deal with the owner privately. The agent was very angry and exposed the matter online. The couple didn't respond, but it caused a lot of disgust among people anyway."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment. "After all, the couple are well-known figures in the entertainment industry. They can't be so stingy, right?"

"Being stingy has nothing to do with whether you have money or not." Tang Xiaoru interjected, "I've also seen people saying that Na Jie is not a decent person before. She asked someone to borrow Euros and ended up paying them back in RMB. Someone asked her for it on the show, and she still had the nerve to call them stingy."

Chen Qingrong's face fell immediately. "Well, after hearing what you said, I instantly lost my charm towards my favorite idol."

Yang Bingbing smiled and said, "Anyway, you are just doing business with her, not living with her, so just pretend you don't know these things."

Chen Qingrong pursed his lips and said nothing more.

After having dinner at Yang Bingbing's house, the couple went downstairs and left.

While in the elevator, Tang Xiaoru started humming again.

"The melody you are humming is so familiar. I seem to have seen it in a short video. What anime clip is it from?"

Chen Qingrong scratched his head.

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "This is a sad song that has been popular on Tik Tok recently. It's called "Bungee Jumping Machine". Many people use it as background music in their videos."

Chen Qingrong suddenly realized, "It's from Tik Tok, no wonder it smells like a sleazy song, tsk."

"Don't say that casually, or someone will criticize you. This song is considered a sad masterpiece by many people. You can see comments in many comment sections saying that people who haven't experienced this kind of relationship can't understand the lyrics."

"They are all a bunch of elementary and middle school students pretending to be cool. Those idiots don't know what love is. It's not even certain whether they have ever been in a relationship. It's just like when I was in middle school. I didn't have a boyfriend, but I cried every day listening to Liu Zhe and Zheng Yuan's sad love songs. Everyone goes through this idiotic process."

"Were you still so embarrassed when you were in junior high school?" Tang Xiaoru smiled and took his arm, "Then tell me, did you have a crush on a girl when you were in junior high school? Don't worry, it's a long time ago. Even if you did, I won't be angry."

Chen Qingrong shook his head decisively, "I really don't have that."

Tang Xiaoru obviously didn't believe it. "Come on, when you were in junior high school, you were just at the beginning of puberty. Isn't it said that boys are always flirting during puberty? There are so many pretty girls, are you really not attracted to any of them?"

Chen Qingrong spread his hands helplessly, "I really haven't. I was indeed agitated when I entered junior high school, but at that time I basically watched porn to reward myself. I didn't have a crush on any of the girls in school. I just thought they were so ugly and dressed so tacky. They didn't look like the girls in youth movies at all."

Tang Xiaoru said quietly, "You started rewarding yourself when you were in junior high school? It's a miracle that you didn't end early. How dare you reward yourself so early? Aren't you afraid that something might go wrong when you find a partner in the future?"

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "Any man would get a reward, as long as it's not three times a day. Once in a while is normal. Besides, I was only in junior high school at the time. Who would think about adulthood? All I thought about every day was how to get through Sima's evening self-study class."

"what."

When the couple was driving home, Tang Xiaoru played the song "Bungee Jumping Machine" in the car.

Chen Qingrong thought it was noisy at first, but after listening to it a few times, he couldn't help but humming it, especially the chorus, which was quite brainwashing.

To be honest, the emergence of this kind of pop song is to serve Tik Tok. A brainwash and catchy melody, coupled with some nonsensical and whining lyrics, can easily hit some stupid points.

When Tang Xiaoru heard Chen Qingrong humming as well, she felt a sense of pride.

She thought to herself, "Didn't you look down on this song? Why are you singing along now?"
But as she listened, she felt that there was something wrong with Chen Qingrong’s singing. It seemed that he was not singing the original lyrics?

"Xiao Ru, our relationship seems to be chiseling a hole in the wall."

"The harder I drill, the tighter it feels..."

"Wait, wait." Tang Xiaoru hurriedly stopped him, "Stop singing. You turned a love song full of regrets into a pornographic song. You annoying guy."

When they got home in the evening, the couple took a bath and went to bed.

After arriving at the company the next day, both Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru started to get busy with Boss Xuanyuan's project.

Now Boss Liu's project is progressing steadily and they don't need to worry about it. The most important thing at the moment and the thing that needs the most attention is this airport project.

If they mess this up, they will have no chance of staying in the industry in the future.

Jason's workstation was empty, so Chen Qingrong promoted Ellie to Jason's previous position. Although this little girl was not very eye-catching in the company, she had been working hard silently, and Chen Qingrong saw it.

People who work hard should be valued, otherwise no one will be willing to work for you and earn money.

When it was noon, Chen Qingrong was originally going to have lunch with Tang Xiaoru, but he unexpectedly received a call from Zhang Jinming's mother-in-law. She said that she wanted to invite Chen Qingrong to dinner, and that her son-in-law was the host, so she asked him to be there.

When Chen Qingrong heard that Zhang Jinming was also going, he was naturally very happy.

However, he couldn't show it too obviously, and after several rounds of repeated refusals, Chen Qingrong finally "helplessly" agreed to her words.

Chen Qingrong first went to talk to Tang Xiaoru about this matter, and then planned to go to the appointment.

Tang Xiaoru was still asking, "So are you going to confront Zhang Jinming at noon today?"

Chen Qingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure yet. Anyway, let's meet him in person first, and then I'll deal with it improvisationally. I won't be with you at noon, so remember to eat well."

Tang Xiaoru said with a smile, "I'm already 30 years old, how can I starve myself? Don't worry about me. Also, don't drive there, take a taxi. You will definitely drink at noon, it's not safe to drive."

"Yeah, I understand. I'll go first."

"Go ahead, go ahead, and be safe."

Chen Qingrong left first.

Not long after he left, Tang Xiaoru also received an invitation from Liu Dabin, who said that he wanted to invite her to dinner to discuss the second phase of the project. Tang Xiaoru also went to the appointment.

Here, Chen Qingrong quickly took a taxi to the hotel.

Attending the lunch were him, Zhang Jinming's parents-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Pan.

However, what is quite incredible is that Mr. Pan and his wife's own daughter did not show up. According to Mr. Pan, his daughter was very busy and did not attend.

However, Chen Qingrong still felt that she just didn't want to appear on the same screen with Zhang Jinming.

As for Zhang Jinming, he looked exactly the same as in the photo. Moreover, when Chen Qingrong met him in real life, he found that he was even more honest than in the photo. He wore glasses, was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and looked like the kind of person who was easy to bully.

When Zhang Jinming saw Chen Qingrong, a look of surprise flashed across his face, which was easily caught by Chen Qingrong. He thought that Zhang Jinming must have seen his photo a long time ago.

As for where I saw it, do I need to guess?

It was obvious that Zhu Lan, that bitch, had already targeted the couple. No matter how cowardly Zhang Jinming was, he was still a manager, so it was normal for him to have seen his photo.

However, he did not show it. Instead, it was as if he was meeting Chen Qingrong for the first time. Chen Qingrong saw that he was acting and cooperated with him to finish the meal.

After finishing their meal, the old couple went back with Zhang Jinming first.

When Chen Qingrong came back from the toilet, he unexpectedly found Zhang Jinming standing next to the trash can smoking when he arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

"Mr. Zhang, didn't you go back with your parents-in-law?" Chen Qingrong walked over and asked.

Zhang Jinming glanced at him, then took out a Liqun cigarette and handed it to him.

"Thanks."

Chen Qingrong took the cigarette and put it between his lips, and Zhang Jinming lit it for him. Of course, Chen Qingrong didn't put on airs, he was the one who protected himself.

"Now that we are alone, Mr. Chen, don't pretend. I know who you are." Zhang Jinming blew out a smoke ring and laughed, "I am very grateful that you saved my mother-in-law yesterday, but now I am a little suspicious as to why you were there yesterday."

Chen Qingrong took a puff of cigarette and smiled faintly, "I admit that I have investigated you, Mr. Zhang. After all, your Mr. Zhu has begun to poach people from our company, which makes me very unhappy. It is not difficult to understand that I investigated the management of your company, right?"

"But I really didn't expect Aunt Pan to be your mother-in-law."

"Did Mr. Chen really just pass by there yesterday?"

"Yes." Chen Qingrong's expression was particularly sincere when he lied, "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Zhang Jinming looked at him deeply, then lowered his head and puffed on his cigarette without saying a word.

He didn't say anything, and Chen Qingrong also just smoked his cigarette without saying anything.

Zhang Jinming finished his cigarette, and then he threw the butt into the trash can and spoke again, "Boss Chen, if I were to switch jobs from BR, would your company want me?"

Chen Qingrong smiled, "Our company will definitely welcome people with lofty ideals from all over the world to join us. You know, our company is just a toddler now. It is very immature and its road ahead is definitely full of thorns. But I believe that as long as we take one step at a time, we will be able to find a broad road."

Changing the subject, "However, I'm more curious about why Mr. Zhang wants to resign from BR. As far as I know, you are now the deputy director of the design department, and you are no longer a junior employee. Do you have any conflicts with the company?"

Zhang Jinming laughed bitterly and said, "There is no conflict on the surface, but there is a conflict behind the scenes. My immediate boss has been trying to bring in his nephew to replace me. It just so happens that he is a relative of our President Zhu, and President Zhu is the adopted daughter of the CEO. Tell me, can I squeeze him out?"

"Ah, this is a bit unkind, after all, you have worked at BR for more than ten years. How can you treat an old comrade like you like this?"

"Because old comrades like us are of no use anymore. It's like this in any company." He looked at Chen Qingrong deeply when he said this.

He had already thought it through. If Chen Qingrong said something like "Our company would never treat old comrades like that" at this moment, he would immediately turn around and leave without talking to him.

Because that kind of talk is too hypocritical, only a fool would believe it.

But he didn't expect that Chen Qingrong actually agreed with him. "Survival of the fittest. If a company wants to develop in the long run, it really needs to bleed. Only by eliminating all the garbage and waste can the company remain healthy and long-lived. It makes sense."

Zhang Jinming asked back, "Boss Chen, if I joined your company and worked for several years, and you found that I was no longer useful, would you also kick me out?"

Chen Qingrong smiled. "This kind of thing shouldn't be considered by us, but by you, Mr. Zhang. If you don't want to be eliminated, you will keep working hard to seek a breakthrough, right?"

"The company and its employees are working together in a two-way relationship. It won't work if we just focus on one side."

Zhang Jinming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is a very good negotiator and a down-to-earth person. I like talking to down-to-earth people like you. One last question. If I join your company, what position can Mr. Chen arrange for me?"

Chen Qingrong threw the remaining half of his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. "Your position in BR remains unchanged."

A hint of displeasure appeared on Zhang Jinming's face.

But the next second, Chen Qingrong added, "That's the general situation, there are also special situations."

"What special situation?"

"That depends on how many apprentices you can bring to our company. The more people you bring, the more bargaining chips you will have, right?"

Chen Qingrong said with a meaningful smile.

Zhang Jinming was stunned and actually felt a little scared.

Mr. Chen is very ambitious.

……

When Chen Qingrong returned to the company in the afternoon, he happened to meet Tang Xiaoru who had just returned from a social event outside.

"Honey, what a coincidence that you're back too."

When Tang Xiaoru saw him, she immediately threw herself into his arms with joy, wrinkled her nose, and asked curiously, "You didn't drink?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "Zhang Jinming is responsible for driving his parents-in-law. Would he dare to drink? Unless he wants to get into a car accident with his parents-in-law."

"Oh, that's true." Tang Xiaoru came to her senses and asked him again, "How did your talk with Zhang Jinming go? Did you tell him your purpose?"

Chen Qingrong kept it a secret for now. "You'll know in a couple of days. I won't tell you now."

"Hate it, what on earth are you up to?"

"First, tell me how your talk with Mr. Liu went?"

Tang Xiaoru took his arm and walked towards the building, saying as she walked, "Mr. Liu hopes to speed up the progress and enter the second phase as soon as possible. You also know that this kind of thing cannot be rushed. I can only say that I will do my best to urge it."

Chen Qingrong didn't understand. "It's not like she's giving birth, why are they rushing to meet the deadline? Could it be that Mr. Liu has run out of money?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him. "How can a billionaire be short of this little money? He just seems to have a lot of difficulties. I am too embarrassed to ask more. Anyway, just do your best. It's not good to rush the project. The more you rush, the greater the chance of delay."

"That's true."

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Tang Xiaoru remembered something again, "Ren Furong called me today. When I was having dinner with Mr. Liu, she had already been released from the drug rehabilitation center."

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "So fast? Shouldn't it take at least three or four months? No, is it that easy to quit?"

Tang Xiaoru said, "According to what she said, she was released early because she behaved well and has successfully quit drug use. However, the supervisors at the drug rehabilitation center still have to visit her every once in a while, for fear that she will start using drugs again. But when I heard her talk, she seemed very confident."

Chen Qingrong didn't dwell on this anymore. She just asked, "What does it mean that she called you? Is she planning to come to work in our company? No, is she really coming?"

Tang Xiaoru curled her lips and said, "If you don't want her to come, then why did you agree to let her come?"

Chen Qingrong smiled awkwardly, "Well, I was just trying to please her. I didn't expect her to be released so soon."

Tang Xiaoru snorted and said, "Don't worry, she won't come. She told me that she wants to open a flower shop. Her parents will help her arrange it. Then she can run the small flower shop quietly and won't disturb us."

Chen Qingrong said shamelessly, "Actually, I don't object to her coming to our company. I'm mainly thinking about her face. After all, she was a star before. It would be so embarrassing for her to suddenly come to our company and become a social animal. As long as she doesn't mind, I have nothing to say."

Tang Xiaoru smiled playfully, "Oh, so that's what you think. That's easy. I'll contact her again and tell her that you cordially invite her to join our company. She will definitely come."

"No, no, no."

Chen Qingrong was startled, and quickly and domineeringly hugged Tang Xiaoru's slender waist and pulled her into his arms, "I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously? If you dare to contact her, I will let you die in bed."

Tang Xiaoru blushed and said shyly, "This is really the most romantic threat I have ever heard. If I really die like that, it would be a comfortable death, which is good."

Chen Qingrong, "???"

No, who adjusted it for you like this?
The afternoon passed quickly and nothing special happened.

Before leaving get off work in the evening, the fire department came over for a routine inspection. After confirming that everything was correct, they gave a few more reminders about fire safety and left.

After Tang Xiaoru and Chen Qingrong left the company, they did not rush home. Instead, they went to the supermarket to buy two cartons of milk and some toys that their children liked to play with. They planned to visit the single mother and son downstairs.

The pipes in their bathroom were clogged, soaking the ceiling downstairs, but the other person didn't make a fuss about it or ask them to pay for it. Shouldn't they show some sincerity?
They can refuse it, but you can't refuse to give it to them. You can't be so ignorant.

After arriving at the mother and son's home, Tang Xiaoru and her friends explained their purpose. The single mother seemed very grateful and warmly welcomed them into her home.

Tang Xiaoru even asked, "Sister, your ceiling is no longer leaking, right?"

The eldest sister smiled and shook her head. "It stopped leaking last night. Your remedial measures were very timely. It's healed now."

Tang Xiaoru said with guilt, "We still didn't do enough. If only we had discovered it earlier, it would have been better. Sister, I'm really sorry. We will always pay attention to the condition of the pipeline in the future and will never let such a thing happen again."

"It's okay, it's okay. You didn't do this on purpose. I can understand."

After staying at the eldest sister's house for a while, the young couple returned upstairs.

Chen Qingrong went to the bathroom to check the sewer again and found that it was flowing smoothly.

"I told you yesterday that we don't need to call professionals to come and fix it, right? If we ask them to come and fix it, it will cost at least 100 or 200 dollars. Look how much better it is for us to fix it ourselves. It only costs a few dozen dollars."

Chen Qingrong was very pleased with himself and looked quite proud.

Tang Xiaoru said casually, "It's a technical job for the repairman to come to your house to repair it. If we can't do it, it's worth spending a few hundred dollars to buy a service."

"It's worth nothing." Chen Qingrong was very disdainful. "When I lived by myself before, the sewer was blocked once. I didn't know I had to buy this kind of medicine to unclog it, so I asked someone to come to my house. It took less than five minutes and charged me two hundred yuan. I was so angry at the time. Since then, I swear to learn more life tips to save a lot of money."

Tang Xiaoru said jokingly, "Five minutes is also a service. You can't deny the chef's efforts just because of the length of time."

Chen Qingrong curled his lips and said, "I hope I can still hear such optimistic words from you after I turn forty."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes beautifully, "You're bringing up that kind of thing again. Women go through menopause, and you go through it too, right? What are you so anxious about, really."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you want to eat?"

"I'm not that hungry yet." Tang Xiaoru lay down on the sofa, "Honey, please get me my laptop. I want to type for a while."

“Are you so hardworking?”

Chen Qingrong smiled, but still went to help her get the laptop and handed it to her.

"That rich guy asked me to update more, I have to serve the sponsor well." Tang Xiaoru pouted and said to Chen Qingrong, "You should not be idle either. Even if you don't update your novel now, you still have to produce the design drawings for Najie's house, and you have to help me with the plan for the airport. Hurry up and get busy. Let's temporarily enter a state where no one disturbs each other."

"Well, I'll also bring my laptop out and work on it in the living room."

The couple then sat face to face on the sofa, with a notebook on their legs, and one of them was typing while wearing glasses.

Typing in this posture is very uncomfortable, because you are using the keyboard that comes with the notebook, and anyone who has used it knows how abstract the feel is.

But they don't pursue speed, so they write slowly.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening. Chen Qingrong stretched hard and turned off the computer. He looked up at Tang Xiaoru and found that she was still typing quickly on the keyboard.

"You haven't finished writing yet?" Chen Qingrong was very curious. "How many words do you plan to write a day? Not 10,000 words, right? Are you going to crush your husband?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled without even looking up, "No, my novel has already been written and published. I'm now working on Bingbing's new house. When I met her last night, she told me her requirements for the new house. I thought I'd hurry up and get the design done."

At this point she looked up and made eye contact with Chen Qingrong, "Did you get it done, husband?"

Chen Qingrong shook his stiff neck and said, "I've finished the project for Sister Na's house, but I haven't finished writing the plan for the airport yet. I'm too tired, so I won't write it for now. The main reason is that I'm in a bottleneck period now. I find that I can't think of any good ideas."

"You may have overused your brain. Why don't you stop writing now? It's getting late. Honey, please go heat up the food and we can have dinner."

"Okay, I'm good at this."

Chen Qingrong put the computer on the sofa beside him. As soon as he stood up, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

thump.

His body hit the coffee table, and the noise scared Tang Xiaoru.

"Chen Qingrong! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Tang Xiaoru quickly dropped her computer, ran over, knelt in front of Chen Qingrong and hugged him, tears welling up in her eyes.

Chen Qingrong pinched his brows and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I just lowered my head for too long, and then I stood up suddenly, so I felt a little dizzy. This is normal, don't worry about me."

Tang Xiaoru said angrily, "Normal bullshit! It's normal if everyone has it. Well, I haven't experienced the situation you mentioned at all, so how can it be called a normal phenomenon?"

"Are you suffering from hypoglycemia again? Haven't I started giving you supplements? Why are you suffering from hypoglycemia again?"

"Who said that? It's just like high blood pressure. It seems to be a long-term problem. It's impossible to completely cure it by taking some medicine. Anyway, don't worry. Your husband is young and strong. He's really fine."

When Chen Qingrong said this, he deliberately bent his right biceps so that Tang Xiaoru could feel whether it was hard or not.

"It's hard, very hard, as hard as a rock, okay?" Tang Xiaoru was both angry and amused, "Let me pull you up, you really scared me to death."

"Why are you so easily frightened?"

"Hmm." Tang Xiaoru blushed and muttered, "Maybe it's because I have a physique that is easy to get pregnant."

"Hey?"

Are we talking about a surprise?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s two days later.

The plan and design drawings for the airport project were finally completed. They were produced by Xiaoyuan's team, and then polished by Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru before being handed over to Boss Xuanyuan.

However, there has been no movement from Zhu Lan at BR in the past two days. At least no one at Chen Qingrong's company has mentioned resignation.

Can’t dig anymore?

Or did they stop temporarily?

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen Qingrong was worrying about his computer, Zhang Jinming sent him a WeChat message.

He took a look at the message and was immediately overjoyed.

The content was simple: "Mr. Chen, I have already told the HR department about my resignation and I will leave today."

Chen Qingrong quickly replied, "I'll pick you up and take you to our company to see what the environment is like."

Zhang Jinming, "No need, Mr. Chen, I took my ten apprentices with me this time. Let's go with them tomorrow. Your car can't accommodate ten of us."

Just this one sentence made Chen Qingrong burst into joy.

What a great Zhang Jinming! He has given himself a big gift package this time.

Talking about Zhang Jinming's resignation, we have to start from the morning when he arrived at the company.

Ever since he talked with Chen Qingrong two days ago, he felt like there was a little sparrow in his heart, chirping every day and trying to fly out of his body, and no one could stop it.

He knew very well that his heart was no longer with BR.

Originally, he was a little embarrassed to mention resignation, but he didn't expect that something his immediate boss did would completely ignite the tension.

"Deputy Minister Zhang, you are a veteran in our design department. You should make some sacrifices for the development of the design department."

"I have a top student with outstanding abilities and a promising future. I plan to let him take your place for a while. You can step back and mainly train apprentices. Don't worry, your salary will not be reduced. You just need to take the initiative to ask the HR department for it. What do you think?"

The design director said so.

Zhang Jinming burst into laughter after hearing this.

It sounds nice to say that you will replace him temporarily for a period of time, but doesn't this mean to kick him out of office?

Zhang Jinming had always been at odds with the minister, and he had been enduring it until now. He didn't expect that the other party would stop pretending and directly ride on his neck and poop and pee.

Damn it, I can’t bear it anymore!

So Zhang Jinming said directly, "I will talk to the HR department, but not about this matter. I'm quitting my job."

"You want to resign?" The minister's eyes suddenly lit up, but he still said in a fake tone, "Minister Zhang, are you dissatisfied with my arrangement, so you said that in anger? Don't be angry, you and I are both old employees of the company. For the future of the company, what's wrong with sacrificing ourselves?"

"Resigning is not a trivial matter. You can't act on impulse."

Zhang Jinming laughed, "I'm not acting on impulse, I'm serious. I've been in the company for more than ten years, and I'm tired. I really don't want to do this anymore."

The minister immediately said with a straight face, "It seems that I can't persuade you anymore. If you want to leave, that's fine, but this is your own voluntary resignation, so there will be no n+1 compensation."

"I see."

After Zhang Jinming finished speaking, he stood up and left the office.

He found the ten disciples who were closest to him, and without naming them, he just asked them if they were willing to go with him. These ten disciples really trusted him, and immediately said that they would go wherever he went.

Zhang Jinming took them to the Human Resources Department to go through the resignation procedures.

When the minister heard his subordinates report that Zhang Jinming took ten designers to resign, he could no longer sit still.

Your mother's kiss, it would be fine if you, Zhang Jinming, left by yourself, but why did you take ten people with you?

If this matter gets to the higher-ups, what the hell do you want me to do?
He hurried to chase after her, but was still a step too late because Zhu Lan had already arrived at the Human Resources Department.

"Boss Zhu, this..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Lan glared at him coldly, then looked at Zhang Jinming and sighed, "Old Zhang, you are older than me. When I first joined the company, I worked with you on business for a while. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly in the design department, I can promote you to a higher position. Can you think about resigning again?"

Zhang Jinming shook his head and said firmly, "There is nothing to consider. I have not been wronged in the design department. I just simply don't want to do this anymore. Please help me, Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Lan's face was very ugly. "Old Zhang, what you said is an insult to my intelligence. If you had not been wronged, would you have resigned? Everyone in the BR management knows that you, Deputy Minister Zhang, are a well-known good guy."

"We can discuss any problem. I just hope you can calm down. Think about it. If the outside world knew that you, Deputy Director Zhang, took away ten designers from the design department at once, our company's image would be damaged."

"Well, if you are not satisfied with your treatment, I can raise your salary to M3, with an annual salary of two million. Your ten apprentices will also be promoted to senior designers, with their annual salaries quadrupled. If you are still not satisfied, we can discuss it again. How do you think?"

Zhu Lan was not simply trying to retain Zhang Jinming, she was doing it for the company's reputation.

As a leading company in the industry, your company, BR, has a deputy director of the design department leaving with ten designers. Once this news gets out, how can it not give rise to speculation?
Zhang Jinming smiled helplessly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhu, but I have made up my mind to leave, and they have also made up their minds to leave, so please help me, Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Lan gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Then tell me, you took so many people with you, where are you going to develop? Is someone trying to poach you? Who?"

She suddenly thought of a name, "Chen Qingrong from Chen Tangguan? Is he trying to poach you?"

Just because she poached people from Chen Tangguan, Chen Qingrong is now poaching Zhang Jinming?
But she only poached one person, and you, Chen Qingrong, poached ten of my people at once. Isn’t that a bit too much?

How could Zhang Jinming admit it?

He just shook his head and said, "No, I just don't want to do this anymore. Mr. Zhu, considering that I have worked so hard for the company for so many years, please don't make things difficult for us. Give us a decent ending. Thank you."

As he said this, he bowed deeply to Zhu Lan.

Now that you have said this, what else can Zhu Lan do?
She could only sigh silently, then stretched out her hand to Zhang Jinming, "Old Zhang, since you said so, I won't stop you. I wish you all the best in your future. I hope that when we meet again, we won't be enemies."

Zhang Jinming shook her hand and said, "Thank you for your blessing."

Zhu Lan then said to the manager of the Human Resources Department, "Handle the formalities for Deputy Minister Zhang and his team. Don't hold them back. The n+1 compensation they deserve must also be given."

Zhang Jinming was stunned, "Boss Zhu, this..."

"It's okay." Zhu Lan knew what he wanted to say and said generously, "You have trained so many talents for the company. Even if you were not fired, the company cannot treat you unfairly. I will leave first and won't see you off."

After saying that, she left.

After returning to his office, Zhu Lan asked someone to call Jason over.

"Mr. Zhu, are you looking for me?"

"Jason, sit down." Zhu Lan asked him to sit down and smiled meaningfully. "You have worked in Chen Tang Pass for so long, so you must be familiar with many things in Chen Tang Pass, right? If I need your help now, will you refuse me?"

Just as Jason was about to sit down, he stood up straight and smiled bitterly, "Boss Zhu, when you asked someone to recruit me, you only asked me to lead a team, and you didn't ask me to backstab my old employer. Boss Chen and Boss Tang took good care of me. Although I don't work for them anymore, I don't want to hurt them."

"I didn't ask you to backstab them. I just wanted to get something out of you. I'll take care of the rest."

"Mr. Zhu..."

"Jason, you are 27 years old this year, right?" Zhu Lan interrupted him and said meaningfully, "What a good age! When I was your age, I was already the deputy general manager. Do you still want to stay at the bottom of the management? Have you ever thought about climbing higher?"

"I originally just wanted you to lead the team, but now I really hope you can be my assistant to the president. Don't underestimate the position of assistant, it is more valuable than a team leader. Do you want to be a team leader until you retire at the age of 50, or come to my side and strive for the top? You are a smart person, do you still need me to choose you?"

Jason's expression froze.

In the evening, Chen Qingrong invited Zhang Jinming and his apprentices to have dinner together, and Tang Xiaoru was also present.

The two men expressed their warm welcome to their arrival. Chen Qingrong toasted them one cup after another, and the inspiring words he said stunned Zhang Jinming's apprentices.

Zhang Jinming is okay, after all, he is old and no longer passionate. But his apprentices are all young people in their twenties. A big boss like Chen Qingrong treats them as brothers and talks about the future, prospects and dreams. Do you think they wouldn't be excited?

After the dinner, Chen Qingrong personally called a taxi to send Zhang Jinming's apprentices home, and reminded them not to forget to report to the company early tomorrow.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Tang, when I asked for my resignation today, Ms. Zhu was there too. She guessed that I was poached by you. I think she will take revenge. You should be careful."

Zhang Jinming kindly reminded the young couple.

Tang Xiaoru nodded and said, "We have been prepared for this, but we are not worried. With the addition of Mr. Zhang, the overall strength of our company has increased, and we are not afraid of Zhu Lan's tricks anymore."

"Boss Zhang, I forgot to tell you that we plan to have you become the general manager of the head office, responsible for all the affairs of the head office, and your authority will be below that of me and the vice president, Chen Qingrong."

Zhang Jinming's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Tang, thank you, Mr. Chen. I will work hard and live up to your trust!"

Chen Qingrong was still laughing. "Our company is not as big as BR's for now, so you as the general manager may not have as much prestige as BR's general manager. I'm sorry for inconvenience you first, but I believe that after our company opens the first branch, we will open more branches in the future. By then, you as the general manager of the head office will have more prestige. Work hard, we look forward to working hand in hand with you."

"Okay, I will try my best!"

After saying a lot of encouraging words, Zhang Jinming saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to them and left.

As soon as Zhang Jinming left, Tang Xiaoru looked up at the starry sky and said to Chen Qingrong, "Hubby, you've done something big again. I'm going to reward you well when I get home tonight."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoru gave Chen Qingrong an ambiguous smile.

Chen Qingrong curled his lips, "Are you rewarding me or yourself? You know what's going on."

"I don't know what you mean, huh." Tang Xiaoru's thoughts were exposed. Her face turned red with embarrassment and she quickly turned her face away and didn't look at him.

Chen Qingrong stopped teasing her. Just when he was about to tell Tang Xiaoru that they were going home, they heard a loud bang, like the sound of heavy objects hitting each other. They were both startled.

"What's the matter?"

Tang Xiaoru was shocked.

At this time, someone shouted not far away, "There's a car accident, someone's been killed, help come!"

The two of them hurried over to see, and found a large pool of blood on the ground and a person lying in the blood.

There were people gathered around to watch the fun, and some even took out their cell phones to call 120 to report the incident.

Chen Qingrong pushed through the crowd and got closer to take a closer look. After taking a closer look at the people on the ground, he felt as if his body had fallen into an ice cellar.

It’s Zhang Jinming!

He was hit by a car!
