First spoiled, then love

Chapter 514: Eat Seafood Without Cleaning It (11000)

Only then did Gao Qiang come to his senses and finally realized that he had been tricked by Jason.

So he apologized to Chen Qingrong with a guilty conscience, "I'm sorry, Lao Chen. Because of my impulsiveness, I have brought discredit to the company again. How about I register a Weibo account to clarify things?"

"Anyway, I have the complete chat history between me and that bastard Jason. If I post it, maybe it can turn the reputation around."

Chen Qingrong saw through it very clearly. "It's useless. The other party hired a group of Internet trolls to fan the flames. Even if you really registered an account and posted screenshots, those stupid netizens would not believe it at all. If they really had brains, they wouldn't follow the trend and curse this and that online every day. I'd better think of other ways. Let's do this for now."

"Ah, okay then."

The phone hangs up.

Tang Xiaoru put her hand on Chen Qingrong's shoulder and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you. You're so worried that your hair is almost turning gray."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes at her lazily, "If you don't tell me, I won't find out. I am a little worried, but not that worried. I am mainly too angry."

Tang Xiaoru said with a smile, "You put it here."

Chen Qingrong looked at her deeply, picked her up and let her sit on his legs. Then he leaned back, held Tang Xiaoru's little face, and kissed her on the mouth.

The sudden passionate kiss made Tang Xiaoru's heart beat faster.

This is what it means to love someone. No matter how many times you kiss them, you can always find a fresh feeling.

Tang Xiaoru responded to him enthusiastically, and the atmosphere became more and more heated. Tang Xiaoru even felt that Chen Qingrong was too "hot".

She gently pushed Chen Qingrong away and said with a red face, "If you want to relieve your depression by venting, then I will give in to you, but let's make a deal first, you are not allowed to suck, I haven't taken a shower yet."

Food safety is very important, and this is also what Tang Xiaoru values ​​most.

"It's not clean, it's not sick after eating."

Chen Qingrong uttered a classic quote, then he pushed Tang Xiaoru over and threw her onto the sofa, then reached out to unbutton her jeans.

An hour and a half later, the couple crawled into bed exhausted.

"Are you still angry?" Tang Xiaoru turned sideways and put her legs on Chen Qingrong, asking while drawing circles on his face with her hands.

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I've calmed down a lot, but I still can't figure out how much benefit Zhu Lan and the others gave Jason to make him do such a thing. We've been with him day and night for nearly a year, and I really never saw that he had such a side."

Tang Xiaoru said softly, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Do you really think you can tell a person's future from his or her age? Anyway, I think there's no need to respond to this matter. No matter how much noise there is online, it won't affect the unity within our company. Let them use such despicable means to cause trouble."

Chen Qingrong said with a straight face, "I think differently from you. I think we should use offense as defense and take the initiative to attack."

"What do you want to do?"

"She, Zhu Lan, is just trying to ruin our company's reputation by this means, so we will use the same method to deal with her in return. Do you remember Zhang Jinming's ten apprentices?"

"You want them to post a complaint against BR? Give them a taste of their own medicine?"

Tang Xiaoru's mind worked quickly. Just by hearing Chen Qingrong's simple mention, she immediately understood what Chen Qingrong was planning to do.

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Well, Jason is only one person, but we have Zhang Jinming and his ten apprentices. We can even use Zhang Jinming's car accident to hype up the conspiracy theory against BR. I don't believe that we can beat them in playing dirty tricks."

Tang Xiaoru hesitated. "Isn't this a bad idea? Although Zhang Jinming brought his apprentice to our company for profit, his taking his apprentice away did help us vent our anger. Now he's still lying in the ICU and hasn't woken up yet. Isn't it a bit immoral for us to use him to make trouble now?"

"If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm."

"That being said, I personally don't quite agree with your idea." Tang Xiaoru shook her head again before continuing, "However, I don't object to using Zhang Jinming's apprentice to hype things up."

Chen Qingrong was a little surprised. "When did you become so soft-hearted? I remember when you were in Chenzhu, you did everything you could to win."

Tang Xiaoru was confused. "When did I become that kind of person? I mean, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I'm not as pure as a business person, okay?"

Chen Qingrong sighed and muttered, "Was it all you in my imagination before?"

"What kind of image do you have of me in your imagination?" Tang Xiaoru was a little dissatisfied. "Humph, no wonder you marked me as the Devil Director. In your mind, I am a complete and unscrupulous devil, right?"

Chen Qingrong laughed dryly twice, "Ha, ha, why are you repeating the same old tune again? Didn't I change it to kiss my wife a long time ago? Your habit of bringing up the past is very bad, you have to change it."

"I'll change your sister!"

Tang Xiaoru glared at him.

After a few seconds of silence, she continued, "We're going to use Zhang Jinming's apprentice to hype this matter. When we get to the company tomorrow, we'll have a talk with the five people from the head office. Even though we're using them as pawns, we should at least ask for their opinions first."

"Okay." Chen Qingrong didn't say anything this time, and took the phone again, "Let me see if my novel has passed the review."

As he spoke, he opened the Writer Assistant and found that the new book had passed review and was published, so he clicked on the novel's homepage and shared the link to the group.

“@Everyone, the new book has been released. Come and vote for me and add it to your favorites. The contract will be signed this weekend. You can invest first and get the benefits later~”

"Babies? Eh~" Tang Xiaoru looked at the message Chen Qingrong sent to the group and immediately showed a difficult expression, "How dare you type these two words? Before, you complained that our female editor was too corny. Now, aren't you even cornier than the female editor?"

Chen Qingrong curled his lips, "How can it be the same?"

The next morning, as soon as Chen Qingrong opened his eyes, he took out his cell phone from under the pillow. He wanted to check the performance of his new book.

When I opened the writer's assistant, I found that there were more than a dozen comments, and the number of collections increased to about 300 overnight. All of this was due to the energy of my old readers.

But Chen Qingrong was still not satisfied.

It's a piece of cake for other great authors to have over 10,000 or 20,000 collections of their new books overnight. He only has 300 collections. It seems he's still not big enough.

However, Chen Qingrong would not be anxious about the novel.

As I said, if it becomes popular, then it will be popular. If it doesn’t, then forget it. He doesn’t expect to make a living by writing novels.

When Tang Xiaoru got up, Chen Qingrong had already prepared breakfast for her.

He no longer needs to take Chinese medicine. Although I don't know if his ears are completely healed, he has not experienced any temporary deafness until today. So he should be considered completely healed, right?
"Milk sandwich with fried eggs. Hmm, what a good Western breakfast."

Tang Xiaoru glanced at the breakfast on the table, smacked her lips and complained.

Chen Qingrong asked back, "Why, don't you like such a nutritious and hearty breakfast? Then what do you want to eat?"

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him meaningfully, then lowered her eyes, "It's not that I don't like eating, I just feel like something is missing."

"What's missing? Cereal?"

"Ham."

"???"

Chen Qingrong was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Souga, it is indeed my negligence. Come here, I will prepare another big ham for you."

"I don't want it. I don't want it."

Seeing his obscene smile, Tang Xiaoru quickly ran to the bathroom, "I'll brush my teeth and wash my face first, you eat first, husband~"

……

After arriving at the company, Chen Qingrong noticed that the employees had strange expressions. He immediately guessed that they had seen the hot searches on Weibo.

So he discussed it with Tang Xiaoru and held a meeting of all employees.

Tang Xiaoru sat in the main seat and said to everyone, "I'm sure everyone has seen Jason's Weibo post last night. I won't go into details about how ridiculous the content is. I just hope that everyone will not be affected by the words of such a clown. Our top priority is to fully prepare for the new airport project."

Xiao Yuan took the lead and said, "Boss Tang is right. We have all been in the company for such a long time. We all know how the company treats us and whether we have any wage arrears. We should not fall into the enemy's tactics of division. Unity is the most important thing."

Tang Xiaoru looked at Xiaoyuan with admiration.

Yes, Xiaoyuan is growing very fast.

Next, Tang Xiaoru listened to the employees’ work reports and the meeting ended in half an hour.

After the meeting, she deliberately kept the five new employees and let the others leave first.

"Nina, I'm sorry. It's so embarrassing to let you witness such a shameful thing just after you started working."

Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly at Nina, the only girl among the five people.

This Nina was also the apprentice that Zhang Jinming had introduced before. He seemed very attentive when introducing Nina, saying that Nina was very capable. Moreover, Tang Xiaoru had also seen the cases designed by Nina, and frankly speaking, they were very much to her taste.

So now she treats Nina as a key person to take care of.

Nina quickly said, "Mr. Tang, you don't have to say that. Although we have just joined the company, we have also done background checks on the company. Otherwise, we would not have come to your company to work after the teacher said so. Although we respect the teacher, we are not blindly loyal, so BR's little tricks will not affect us."

"Yes, Mr. Tang."

"Sister Nina is right."

The other four echoed.

Tang Xiaoru laughed and got to the point. "Thank you for your understanding. I will speak frankly. Jason's backstabbing was 100% instigated by Zhu Lan from BR. Zhu Lan had a conflict with us before because of the new airport project. Since Boss Xuanyuan finally handed the project over to us, she has been holding a grudge until now and created this drama."

"Although our company is not aggressive, we have been bullied and we have no choice but to fight back. So, Chen Qingrong and I need your help to do something."

"Mr. Tang, just tell us what you and Mr. Chen need us to do. We promise to do our best to help you." Nina once again showed how sensible she was.

Tang Xiaoru first exchanged a glance with Chen Qingrong, and then said very seriously, "What we want you to do is very simple. Just help us deal back to Zhu Lan the way he dealt with us."

Nina and the other four all looked shocked. "Boss Tang, what do you mean?"

This small decisive meeting lasted for forty minutes before it ended.

The employees outside naturally didn't know what Mr. Tang and his team talked about with Nina and the others. They only saw that when Nina and the others came out, everyone was in high spirits, looking like they had just accepted some glorious and great mission.

"Zhu Lan thinks our company is small and doesn't treat us as human beings, so we have to put a dent in her prestige!"

"To be honest, the reason why your teacher contacted us was because his position was threatened. He has dedicated more than ten years to BR, but the management headed by Zhu Lan does not treat him as a human being. They just want to squeeze him out. He feels aggrieved and sad!"

"Once a teacher, always a father. Lao Zhang treats you ten as his own children. He even included you in the negotiation conditions when he came to us. He treats you like this. Even if you don't do this for our company, you have to vent your anger for him!"

The words that Chen Qingrong said to them kept echoing in Nina's ears.

It seemed as if Chen Qingrong was born to be a public speaker. He was very good at brainwashing people. After a lecture full of truth and lies, Nina and the others were ready to fight to the death with BR.

So after leaving the meeting room, the five people immediately left the company to prepare.

After seeing the five of them leave the office, Tang Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Chen Qingrong speechlessly, "Did you use too much force just now? Didn't we agree not to drag Zhang Jinming into this?"

Chen Qingrong shrugged, "I didn't drag Lao Zhang into this, you can't wrongly accuse me."

"Then why are you using his name to encourage Nina and the others?"

"How can that be called borrowing? At most, I just relayed what Lao Zhang was thinking. Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he didn't think that way."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes.

If shamelessness has a level, then her husband is unparalleled and invincible in the world.

At this moment, Chen Qingrong received a call from Pan Miaomiao, who told Chen Qingrong that Zhang Jinming had woken up. Chen Qingrong was very happy and immediately said that he would be there soon.

"Old Zhang has woken up, wife. Will you go with me to see him?" Chen Qingrong asked after hanging up the phone.

Tang Xiaoru shook her head helplessly, "I won't go. I haven't read the company's financial report yet. You go by yourself. I'll wait for you to come back to the company."

Chen Qingrong didn't force it. "Okay, I'll drive over there. If you need anything from me on the way, just give me a call."

"it is good."

Chen Qingrong left first.

As soon as he left, Tang Xiaoru received a call from Deputy Section Chief Yao.

"Mr. Tang."

"Deputy Section Chief Yao, we haven't contacted each other for a long time. Are you adapting to living in the mayor's office now?" Tang Xiaoru laughed.

She seemed to know why Deputy Section Chief Yao called.

"It's going well, and it's going better than I thought. Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your concern." Deputy Section Chief Yao made a few polite remarks before getting straight to the point. "By the way, I called you because Gao Feng, that bastard, complained to me that you and Mr. Chen forcibly terminated the cooperation with him, which made him very sad. That's why I called to ask about the situation."

Tang Xiaoru laughed angrily, "Deputy Section Chief Yao, your brother-in-law is really good at lying. We didn't force him to terminate the cooperation with us. He wanted to terminate the contract from the beginning."

"Oh?"

"This is what happened..." Tang Xiaoru repeated the story and finally said confidently, "Deputy Section Chief Yao, you are also a reasonable and honest person. Please judge for yourself. We are already deeply cooperating with Mr. Sheng. Your brother-in-law asked us to renew the contract with him after breaching the contract. Isn't this treating such a big matter as a child's play? That's why we rejected him."

Deputy Section Chief Yao said indifferently, "So that's what happened. I know. I will tell him about this. It's not your problem. I won't bother you anymore."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding."

"It should."

The phone hangs up.

Tang Xiaoru frowned slightly.

I hope this matter can really end so smoothly.

On the other side, Chen Qingrong also drove to the hospital.

After he stopped the car, he saw Zhu Lan getting out from the passenger seat of a car. After getting out, she bent down and said something to the person in the driver's seat. She had a sweet smile on her face, which looked very casual.

Chen Qingrong thought to himself, could the person driving the car be that boxing champion Billy?
He first hid behind a pillar, and after Zhu Lan left, Chen Qingrong swaggered towards the car.

Chen Qingrong took out a cigarette as he walked, then deliberately stopped on the left side of the car and pretended to fix his hair in front of the mirror.

Squeak.

The car window rolled down, and a pretty boy with sunglasses, side bangs, greasy hair and powdered face appeared in front of him.

Chen Qingrong was stunned for a moment.

Isn't that the boxing champion Billy?

"Hey, buddy, why are you looking for mirrors everywhere like a woman?" The pretty boy took off his sunglasses and smiled speechlessly.

Chen Qingrong pretended to be very embarrassed and quickly put his hand down, "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know there was someone in the car. Well, have a cigarette as my apology."

After saying that, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

The pretty boy waved his hands and said, "I can't smoke. My elder sister won't let me smoke. She hates the smell of cigarettes in my mouth."

Chen Qingrong thought to himself, does that mean Zhu Lan is his sister?
But just now, when I saw Zhu Lan bending over with half of her body leaning close to the car to talk to him, they didn't look like real siblings.

It’s not like he hasn’t seen real siblings before. It’s good enough if real siblings don’t fight. How could they have such a good relationship?

There must be some fraud!
Chen Qingrong followed his words and said, "So we are kindred spirits. To be honest, I don't dare to smoke in front of my own sister. My own sister would scold me."

"You misunderstood. The sister I was talking about is not my biological sister." The pretty boy smiled playfully.

Chen Qingrong pretended to be stunned, and then suddenly seemed to wake up before saying, "Is the sister you are talking about that kind of sister? Then wouldn't you be a gigolo?"

He originally thought that these words would make the pretty boy feel ashamed, but he didn't expect that the latter was not ashamed at all, but looked quite proud.

"What's wrong with being a gigolo? So many women want to hook up with rich men, why can't we men be a gigolo?" The pretty boy talked about his experience, "Besides, do you think it's easy for us gigolos? It's hard for us too. We have to take care of our sister's emotions and keep our physical strength at the peak. Men's blooming period is only a few years. If we don't work hard to earn more while we are young and strong, who will support us when we are old?"

Chen Qingrong was immediately in awe and gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, you are awesome, but it's a pity that I don't have the hardware conditions like you, otherwise I would take you as my master."

The pretty boy laughed out loud, "This is not something you can teach casually."

"Haha, then you take a rest. I'm going to go see my friends first."

"Is your friend also in the hospital?"

"Well, why else would I be here?"

After saying this, Chen Qingrong walked into the hospital.

As he walked into the hospital, he took out his cell phone and called Nina, "Nina, have you started the operation?"

Nina then said, "Not yet, but we are almost ready, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qingrong curled his lips and said, "Add some information. You should publicize the fact that Zhu Lan has a gigolo outside."

"Ah? Mr. Zhu keeps a gigolo? Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. Feel free to expose the information. I will bear all the consequences."

Chen Qingrong said this with certainty.

With his words, Nina and the others dared to do it boldly.

At this time, Chen Qingrong also came to the ICU upstairs. When he arrived, he saw Pan Miaomiao talking to Zhu Lan, but Zhang Jinming's parents-in-law were not there. "Miss Pan."

"Mr. Chen, you're here." Pan Miaomiao was quite polite to him.

Zhu Lan looked at him deeply and pretended to be surprised. "Mr. Chen is here too. I didn't expect that we would meet again after just one day."

Chen Qingrong shrugged. "Manager Zhang is still a member of our company now. He has finally woken up. How can I not come to visit him?"

"Ms. Pan, can I go in and visit Manager Zhang?"

Pan Miaomiao shook her head helplessly. "The doctor doesn't allow outsiders to visit him now. Even my parents and I can only stay in there for more than ten minutes each time we go in. Moreover, although Lao Zhang has woken up, his mind is still not clear and he can't speak. It's useless even if you go in to see him."

"Is that so?" Chen Qingrong was a little disappointed. "Then I'll wait until he can talk before going in to see him."

"Yeah." Pan Miaomiao nodded. At this moment, she suddenly thought of something. "Ah, I remembered that I haven't picked up my takeaway yet. I'll go get it first. You two can chat first."

"it is good."

Pan Miaomiao left first.

Chen Qingrong sat on the bench, but what he didn't expect was that Zhu Lan also sat next to him.

Chen Qingrong immediately moved aside.

Zhu Lan smiled playfully, "Is Mr. Chen so afraid of me? I won't eat you."

Chen Qingrong said bluntly, "I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of being infected by the burning smell on you. It will be difficult for me to explain to my wife then."

Zhu Lan's face suddenly turned ugly. "I always thought that we are all respectable adults and should be more careful about what we say. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to keep slandering me with words like this. Isn't it a bit too rude?"

Chen Qingrong sneered, "Haha, I just used words, how can I compare to Mr. Zhu stabbing me in the back?"

"I can not understand what you say."

"Can Mr. Zhu dare to say that Jason's revelations last night have nothing to do with you?"

"It really has nothing to do with me." Zhu Lan was so shameless that she was still wondering, "In fact, I was also shocked when I saw that Weibo post. I really didn't expect that Mr. Chen and your company would actually owe Jason's salary. I also didn't expect that Jason had been holding a grudge against you for so long."

"But Mr. Chen, please don't be angry yet. Calm down. I will definitely have a talk with him when I get back. After all, you have focused on cultivating him before. Even if you are not doing your job well, he would not do this to you. The dog bites the man, and we humans cannot bite the dog."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Chen Qingrong did not argue with her, but said sarcastically, "Mr. Zhu is indeed a generous person. I hope that Mr. Zhu can always maintain your generosity. It is better to have a Buddha's heart than a beast's heart, don't you think?"

"hehe."

Zhu Lan laughed, and at this moment her cell phone rang.

She took out her cell phone and answered, "Hello, it's me, what's going on?"

Not knowing what was said to her on the other end of the phone, her face changed drastically, and then she looked at Chen Qingrong in horror, but the latter looked at her calmly.

"I understand, I'll go back now!"

Zhu Lan hung up the phone with gritted teeth.

Then she took a deep breath and said to Chen Qingrong through gritted teeth, "Boss Chen is very good at this, but it's a bit too mean. Nina and the others have nothing to do with the grudge between you and me, so why do you have to drag them into this?"

Chen Qingrong began to play dumb, "What are you talking about? What did Nina and the others do? I don't know."

Zhu Lan laughed angrily, "You don't know? Didn't you ask Nina and the others to find reporters to go to our company building and broadcast live, spreading rumors that we owed their company money and that I hired someone to hit Zhang Jinming? You even asked them to spread rumors that I was keeping a gigolo outside! Do you know that what you did is illegal? Do you really think that our company's legal affairs are there to eat for nothing?"

Chen Qingrong was shocked. "Did they really do this? Oh my God, why would they do this? Mr. Zhu, calm down. It's my fault for not disciplining them. I didn't expect them to do such a thing behind my back. Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. I'll call Nina and the others and ask them to leave immediately and not cause any trouble."

"Of course, Mr. Zhu, if you are angry and want to sue them, then go ahead. I definitely can't stop you. The most I can do is find a lawyer to help them file a lawsuit."

"Do you really think I don't dare?"

"Of course I dare. Is there anything that you, Mr. Zhu, would not dare to do? But Mr. Zhu, you should think twice before you act. I don't know if your boxing champion boyfriend can tolerate being cuckolded, but you definitely don't want him to know who the gigolo you're supporting is, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Lan's expression became unnatural.

Chen Qingrong said mysteriously, "I didn't mean anything. It's just that my amorous eyes accidentally saw some things I shouldn't have seen, and took some photos I shouldn't have seen. Well, now it's just reporters coming out to join in the fun. If President Zhu insists on suing us, then I can only let more people see those things."

Zhu Lan gnashed her teeth, "What on earth did you see? What did you take pictures of?"

Chen Qingrong just smiled slyly and didn't answer.

He was just betting that Zhu Lan wouldn't dare to really let the pretty boy she was supporting be brought to the surface.

Zhu Lan stared at him for a long time with eyes that almost wanted to kill him, and finally sighed and forced a far-fetched smile, "Haha, Mr. Chen, there is not much grudge between us, right? How about this, I will fire Jason who made trouble, and issue a statement in the name of our company's official account, saying that Jason spread rumors and was found out, so he was fired. It can also be regarded as indirectly helping you to whitewash yourself. Mr. Chen, you, delete and forget all those things that you shouldn't watch or take pictures of. How about ending this matter here?"

Chen Qingrong said calmly, "That depends on your work intensity and efficiency, Mr. Zhu."

"Tell Nina and the others to leave with their lawyers now. I'll do it right after I get back."

“It’s possible, but it’s not enough.”

"Not enough? What else do you want?"

Zhu Lan felt that he had already made enough concessions.

The reason why she had to give in was because Chen Qingrong was acting too confident now. He didn't seem to be lying, which made it hard for Zhu Lan not to suspect whether he really had the video of that kind of person that could not be seen.

You have to know that her adoptive father has a biological son besides her, and she and her adoptive father's son are also fighting openly and secretly. If this turmoil is too big and affects the image of the entire BR, it will be difficult for her to guarantee that her adoptive father will not take back her power. Even her nominal big brother may take the opportunity to kick her out of the management.

If that were the case, wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

So, she didn't dare to go to the gambling table.

Chen Qingrong is the type of person who is not afraid of those wearing shoes even if he is barefoot. She really doesn't dare to mess with him.

Chen Qingrong shrugged. "I haven't thought about the other conditions yet. Anyway, I want to see your sincerity first. But I can promise you to let Nina and the others withdraw first."

Zhu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that's fine. I'll go back to the company now. Just wait and see."

"Well, no."

Chen Qingrong nodded, and Zhu Lan left quickly.

Chen Qingrong watched Zhu Lan leave before he loosened his clenched fists. His palms were full of sweat.

The game with Zhu Lan just now made his heart beat fast with nervousness. If it weren't for his good mental quality, he would have really been stage fright.

Fortunately, at the critical moment he discovered the fact that Zhu Lan was supporting a gigolo, which served as a layer of insurance for Nina and the others. Otherwise, Zhu Lan might really have sued Nina and the others.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingrong called Nina and said, "Let's withdraw. Our goal has been achieved. You can go back to the company first."

"Okay Mr. Chen."

By this time, Zhu Lan had already returned to the car.

"Drive, take me back to our company."

"Sister, why do you look so bad all of a sudden? Is your friend's illness getting worse?"

The pretty boy asked with concern, without stopping, and started the car obediently.

Zhu Lan got angry when she thought about the trouble caused by this pretty boy.

She still couldn't figure out when Chen Qingrong started investigating this pretty boy, and when did he take pictures of those things that shouldn't be seen?

It's terrifying to think carefully.

"Oh, by the way, sister, I just met a young man..."

"Be quiet. I don't want to chat right now."

Zhu Lan interrupted the pretty boy with a scolding, then closed his eyes to rest.

She was thinking about the possible chain reaction that might be caused in the company, and how to explain it to the board of directors and her adoptive father.

If poor Zhu Lan had listened to the pretty boy at this time, she would have definitely figured out that Chen Qingrong was deceiving her. Unfortunately, she was so confused that she couldn't listen to the pretty boy at all, and missed the opportunity to break the deadlock.

Time is also destiny.

At 1:30 p.m., BR's public relations department issued a serious statement.

In their statement, they mentioned that after investigation, the Weibo post by internal employee Jason was pure slander and rumor about his former company. In order not to disrupt the market environment, they issued a notice to fire him and never re-employ him, and also reminded other colleagues to be careful of such dogs that bite people indiscriminately.

As for the revelations made by Nina and the others, they did cause a bit of a stir at first, but they were all suppressed by Zhu Lan's public relations department's internet trolls, and they never made it to the hot searches at all.

After finishing these things, Zhu Lan called Chen Qingrong to ask him whether he was satisfied with the result.

Chen Qingrong was in Tang Xiaoru's office at this time, with his cell phone on speakerphone.

He joked, "Mr. Zhu's work efficiency is indeed very high. I am quite satisfied with this."

Zhu Lan was obviously relieved and asked again, "What else do you want?"

Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru looked at each other and found that the latter nodded to him.

He then said, "After discussing with my wife, we don't have any special requests. As long as Mr. Zhu doesn't target our company anymore, you can go your way and we'll go our way. We can just not bother each other and that's it."

Zhu Lan was still a little bit incredulous, "You really don't have any other requests?"

"Really? Why would I lie to you? Besides, I will delete all the photos that shouldn't be taken. I promise that no one else will see them."

After Chen Qingrong finished saying this, he added in his mind, "It didn't exist anyway."

Zhu Lan was silent for more than ten seconds before saying, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen. We will keep our distance from each other from now on. This is my promise, Zhu Lan. You can rest assured."

"Well, hung up."

Chen Qingrong hung up the phone.

Tang Xiaoru spoke only then, "Do you think Zhu Lan will believe what you say?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "She won't believe it. As the saying goes, judge others by yourself. If she puts herself in their shoes, she will find that if she had such a big handle on us, she would definitely make more outrageous demands. We didn't make any demands, which made her suspicious."

"And this is exactly what we want. Once she gets suspicious, it's like a thorn in her throat. She won't dare to act rashly in the future. Otherwise, I'll bring this up again and punish her, and she'll be in trouble."

Tang Xiaoru said quietly, "Throughout history, so many men have died in the trap of beauty. I didn't expect that Zhu Lan would also die in the trap of beauty this time."

"You mean that pretty boy? Frankly speaking, he's not that handsome. I doubt Zhu Lan's taste." Chen Qingrong curled his lips and made another joke. "But it's all thanks to him. If it weren't for him, we really wouldn't have found a better way to target Zhu Lan. So, he should be the biggest contributor to our short-lived victory this time."

"If it wasn't inappropriate to see him again, I would have been planning to give him a banner."

"You are so wicked." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said meaningfully, "But this incident also tells us a truth. We must keep things clean when it comes to sex, otherwise we will fall into trouble in a minute."

Having said this, she looked at Chen Qingrong deeply.

Chen Qingrong was speechless. "Why are you looking at me like that? I have always been innocent in matters between men and women, okay? Medik can only beat your Puxi."

"Humph."

Tang Xiaoru blushed at Chen Qingrong's mix of Chinese and English.

But she just snorted proudly and didn't say anything else.

After getting off work in the evening, Chen Qingrong took Tang Xiaoru to visit Sun Cheng first, and bought two bottles of wine and other fruits.

When they arrived at Sun Cheng's grave, Chen Qingrong opened the wine and spilled it on his tombstone. He then opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it and placed it on his tombstone.

"Today is neither Sun Cheng's birthday nor his memorial day. Why did you think of bringing me here to pay tribute to him?" Tang Xiaoru asked in a low voice, pulling Chen Qingrong's arm.

Chen Qingrong sighed, "There's no other reason. I just thought about how I haven't visited him for a long time. I suddenly missed him. Also, time flies so fast. It's been almost a year since he died. I don't know how he is doing in the Eighteenth Level of Hell now."

"Can't you just hope he goes to heaven?"

"Do you think he can go to heaven? I don't believe it anyway."

Chen Qingrong curled his lips.

If Sun Cheng could go to heaven after his death, he would definitely be treated as if Jesus himself came to pick him up.

Jingle Bell.

Tang Xiaoru's cell phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it. "It's Shengnan's call."

"Hey, Shengnan, what's wrong?"

"Sister Xiaoru, are you and Brother Chen off work now? If so, can we meet? I'm very upset now and want to drink, but no one is with me." Ni Shengnan's voice was actually tearful and sounded very frustrated.

Tang Xiaoru said, "Chen Qingrong and I are at Sun Cheng's grave now. Where are you? Let's go find you directly."

"Have you visited Cheng Cheng's grave?"

"OK."

"Oh, then let's meet here on XXX Street. There is a big library here. I'll wait for you in front of the library."

"Okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong asked, "Ni Shengnan asked us to meet?"

Tang Xiaoru nodded gently, "Yeah, she said she's upset now and wants to find someone to drink with, and she sounded like she was crying. I don't know what happened. We are her friends after all, so let's go over and take a look."

Chen Qingrong curled his lips and said, "I can drink with her, but if she dares to speak nonsense after drinking, I will never forgive her."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes, "You're not that attractive. Besides, I'm still here."

"It's because you're here that I'm saying this."

"???"

After driving to the place, they parked the car in the shopping mall's parking lot, then walked to find the library that Ni Shengnan mentioned, and immediately saw her sitting on the steps in a floral dress.

This scene is particularly like the reunion scene between the hero and heroine in an idol drama.

"Shengnan."

"Sister Xiaoru, Brother Chen, you are here."

When Ni Shengnan heard Tang Xiaoru calling her, she immediately stood up and forced a smile.

After Tang Xiaoru hugged her, she asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you still crying on the phone? Who bullied you?"

Ni Shengnan's expression was a little subtle. "It's not that someone bullied me. I just had a sudden emotional outburst. It might have something to do with the book I was reading inside, and it also made me think of Cheng Cheng."

"What book are you reading?" Chen Qingrong asked.

Ni Shengnan moved his lips and said, "Yu Hua's Alive."

Chen Qingrong, "..."

He understood, "No wonder you cried, that book is an abbreviation of human tragedy, who wouldn't cry after reading it? Next time you see something funny, you won't cry."

The corner of Ni Shengnan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something but held back.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to hide, Tang Xiaoru invited her to go to a bar to drink and listen to music, and Ni Shengnan agreed.

The three of them quickly found a relatively famous internet-famous bar nearby, but it was too early and there were no resident singers in the bar, and there were not even many customers.

But this is a good thing for Chen Qingrong and the others. After all, neither Chen Qingrong nor Tang Xiaoru likes a particularly noisy environment.

After finding a seat and sitting down, Chen Qingrong and his friends ordered two pitchers of beer and some fruit. When everything was served, the three of them started drinking and chatting.

Tang Xiaoru took the opportunity to ask her why she was so bored, and it was obviously not just because of reading.

After Ni Shengnan gulped down half a bottle of beer, he said with a bitter face, "Do you still remember the blind date I told you about before? The one we used to deal with each other's parents?"

Chen Qingrong continued, "Remember, I reminded you not to be deceived at that time. You told us very confidently that he was calcium and it was safe, right?"

Ni Shengnan said faintly, "I now regret that I was so arbitrary at the beginning, and I regret not listening to your reminder, Brother Chen."

"What do you mean? He's a straight guy pretending to be gay?"

"That's not the case, but he asked me to meet his friends last night, saying that he was going to deal with a family issue. I went, and when he drove me home after dinner, I bent down to pick up the lipstick that fell at my feet, and when I looked up, I saw something I shouldn't have seen."

"What shouldn't I do...oh~"
