First spoiled, then love

Chapter 522 Three Women and a Drama (11000)

When Chen Qingrong rushed outside, the man who smashed his car had already been controlled by the security guards.

He walked over and took a look, and immediately laughed angrily, "Hey, isn't this Jason? I never thought that my old boss would meet you, my old subordinate, under such circumstances. I heard that you smashed my car? My car didn't provoke you, did it? If you want to smash something, come and smash mine. You have to pay compensation for smashing my car, but you only need to go to jail for smashing me. How come you don't know how to settle the score at all?"

Jason had calmed down a lot by now, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I, I lost my mind for a moment. I apologize to you, please don't call the police, I, I am willing to compensate you for all your losses."

"Let him go first. I know him." Chen Qingrong asked the security guard to let Jason go, then squatted in front of Jason and sneered, "Other things are easy to talk about. I mainly want to know your motive for smashing my car. It can't be because I fired you, right? I remember that you took the initiative to leave the company. Did I lose my memory?"

Jason looked as embarrassed as he could be. He said weakly, "I took the initiative to leave. Mr. Chen, you remember it very clearly. I was just passing by here. After seeing your car, I remembered that you asked Mr. Zhu to fire me. I can't find a job now, and I don't have much savings, so I smashed your car on impulse."

"I apologize to you again, I am willing to make all compensations!"

"Compensation? Do you have the money to compensate? Some time ago, my wife and I passed by a hotel and saw you being thrown out after eating for free. You don't even have money to eat. Can you still compensate for my car?"

Chen Qingrong did not hide his sarcasm and ridicule.

Jason was even more embarrassed, because he never expected that Chen Qingrong and the others had seen him being thrown out of the hotel.

But he was thick-skinned after all, and he immediately said, "It was an unexpected accident, and I still have some savings now, I can compensate you."

Chen Qingrong got up and looked at his car, and found that the headlight was broken and some paint was chipped off the hood.

He turned around and said to Jason, "Okay, I'll call the 4S shop to tow the car away. I'll send you the repair order when the time comes, and you just have to pay the price. But please don't ignore my WeChat messages. If you don't reply to my WeChat messages, I'll have to call the police. I have connections at the police station."

At the end, Chen Qingrong deliberately scared Jason.

Jason said quickly, "I will definitely reply, I will definitely reply. I will release you from the blacklist soon. I will wait for you to give me the repair bill. I will definitely not reduce your compensation by a single cent."

Chen Qingrong nodded and called the people from the 4S shop.

After finishing all these, he returned to the private room to find Tang Xiaoru and the others.

Just now he was worried that there might be danger outside, so he didn't let Tang Xiaoru come with him. He came out to handle it himself. As soon as he returned to the private room, Tang Xiaoru asked him what happened.

Chen Qingrong glanced at Zhu Lan and said, "Actually, this matter is related to President Zhu."

"Is it related to me?" Zhu Lan's eyes were a little dazed at this time, and he asked in confusion, "What does it have to do with me? It's not me who smashed your car, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qingrong shrugged. "It was Jason who smashed my car. He was dissatisfied after being fired by you."

"How dare you say that? Didn't you ask me to fire him?"

"Yes, but you were the one who insisted on digging him out in the beginning. If you hadn't dug him out, how could there be so many things later?"

"..."

Zhu Lan was choked for a moment.

After a while, he said with some resentment, "Mr. Chen seems to still have a lot of opinions about me. I thought we were already friends."

Chen Qingrong curled his lips and asked, "Which law stipulates that friends can't have opinions about each other?"

As he said this, he sat down.

Tang Xiaoru interrupted at this time, "How did you deal with it? Did you call the police?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I didn't call the police. I asked the people from the 4S shop to come and tow my car away. I'll ask him to compensate me according to the price when the time comes. It's just right. I don't have to drive tonight. I can drink more than I dared to drink before."

"You didn't call the police to arrest him? This is not in line with your style." Tang Xiaoru made a joke.

Chen Qingrong pouted, "I originally wanted to call the police to arrest him, but seeing how miserable he looked, he seemed quite pitiful. Anyway, my car wasn't damaged too badly, so I won't bother the police."

"Mr. Chen is such a good man. Come, let me toast to you, such a good man."

"I'll toast to you, too, you evil man."

After the show ended in the evening, Tang Xiaoru was kind enough to help Zhu Lan get into a taxi.

Then she and Chen Qingrong went back to the roadside to wait for a taxi.

There was a slight breeze blowing late at night, but the wind in this season was not as torturous as the winter wind. When the wind blows across the body, it only makes people feel very comfortable.

"Do you think that taxi driver just now would be tempted by Zhu Lan's beauty and do something bad to her?" Chen Qingrong suddenly began to fantasize.

Tang Xiaoru was speechless, "Are you hoping that something bad will happen to her, or are you hoping that something bad will happen to her?"

Chen Qingrong coughed, "Well, I mean well. After all, there are many bad people these days."

"Haha, you better be."

After waiting for a long time for a taxi to arrive, the couple returned home and had a peaceful sleep.

After arriving at the company the next day, Zhu Lan sent a WeChat message to Tang Xiaoru, saying that Du Pengpeng had been exiled to France by his father early that morning. He was particularly reluctant to let him go and held his mother's thigh, hoping that his mother would help say a few words.

It’s a pity that Du Lanshan has the final say at home. Du Pengpeng’s mother is just a noble lady who simply enjoys her life and has no right to speak at all.

August passed by smoothly.

Just two days into September, Yang Bingbing got the property certificate for her family. She took a photo of it and showed it off to Tang Xiaoru.

As for Tang Xiaoru and her husband, they haven't received the property certificate yet, but their new home is almost decorated. In the last few days of August, Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru ran around buying furniture.

As the saying goes, it’s better to compare three stores before shopping.

It's worth running more.

You can't be the one who gets taken advantage of just because you have money.

In addition to their two houses, Gao Qiang and Miao Su also purchased a new home. The decoration was done by Miao Su's uncle, and their names were written on the property certificate.

For this matter, Gao Qiang and his friend also invited Chen Qingrong and his wife, as well as Xiaoyuan and her husband to have dinner together.

However, their house is not as high-end as Chen Qingrong's. It is located in a particularly shabby community. But even so, the down payment of that house is enough to buy a house in a small fourth or fifth tier city.

After all, this is the Magic City, how can the housing prices not be magical?
There is also Xiaoyuan. Although she has been pregnant for only more than a month, Liang Qingyun's father has not allowed her to go to work. Instead, he asked her to return home to take care of the baby. Xiaoyuan really can't sit still, so after discussing with Chen Qingrong and others, Tang Xiaoru specially approved her to work at home, and she would still receive her basic salary.

Liang Qingyun was very moved by this, and immediately recommended a big boss to Chen Qingrong and his team, helping them achieve a turnover of nearly 10 million. This was a two-way effort.

Another thing is the matter of Ni Shengnan. She has also returned to the Magic City after returning to secular life.

She returned to Shanghai on the 30th and treated them to dinner that night. She happily told them that her parents were no longer urging her to find a partner and that she should let everything take its course. She also planned not to go to work at the milk tea shop for the time being and let the manager there keep an eye on her so that she could spend more time with Sun Cheng's mother.

After all, Sun Cheng's mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she plans to spend more time with her to prevent her from being in a bad mood all day.

After hearing all this, Chen Qingrong only asked one question, "So, do you know how to perform rituals to catch ghosts, monsters, and zombies?"

Ni Shengnan's mouth twitched, "Brother Chen, I went to Longhu Mountain, not Maoshan. We are not from the same school."

September 4th is another Saturday.

After Tang Xiaoru finished writing the final chapter at home, she posted it to the website and then declared the novel completed.

Chen Qingrong even asked her, "Are you really done with it? You need to think about it carefully. If you regret it now, it's not too late. You can ask your editor to help you reject it."

Tang Xiaoru shook her head helplessly. "Forget it, forget it. Not to mention that the result is very bad, the further I write, the less inspiration I have. Instead of wasting time like that, I might as well just finish it."

"By the way, husband, how are your results after you put it on the shelf?"

Chen Qingrong raised his eyebrows, "It's not bad. The average subscription has reached more than 2,500. It's just around the corner to be a masterpiece. The performance of this book is much better than the last one when it was first put on the shelves. Editor-in-Chief Xing has already started communicating with me about the comic adaptation of this book."

Tang Xiaoru was a little surprised, "Isn't your last comic adaptation still unfinished? You're adapting this one again?"

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "It's just a talk. I haven't confirmed it yet because I don't know if the plot will collapse later. I plan to wait until I write 800,000 words before talking to her about whether to adapt the comic. If the number of words is too small, there's no point in adapting it."

"That makes sense." Tang Xiaoru put her hand on his thigh and said enviously, "It seems that I am really not as good as you in writing, but there is one aspect in which you are not as good as me."

Chen Qingrong said sweetly, "There are so many things I am not as good as you. I am not as good as you in doing business, negotiating with people, and doing housework. There are so many things I am not as good as you in, but you only say that I am not as good as you in one aspect. You are really giving me face."

Tang Xiaoru knew clearly that he was flattering her, but she just felt comfortable hearing these words.

"You're good at talking." Tang Xiaoru crossed her legs over his and muttered, "Give me a massage of my calves. They're so sore. I feel like I'm lacking calcium."

Chen Qingrong massaged her while saying, "You are not calcium deficient, you have overused your legs recently. Not only do you run to those two large construction sites every day, but you also go there almost every day to renovate our own house. Your legs have never had any time to rest. How can they not be sore?"

Tang Xiaoru stretched herself lazily. "It's a little bit hard now, but it will be sweet when the results are inspected. As I said before, I won't take on any new big projects until the Chinese New Year. The orders we've received this year are enough for us to have a good year. There's no need to work too hard."

"When the new house is finished, we'll move the furniture in, and then we'll tidy up and be ready to move in."

"Aren't you going to wait for the formaldehyde to dissipate? Besides, aren't you going to live in this house anymore?"

"The smell of formaldehyde is spreading during the renovation. As for the house here, we will live in it for the time being. After all, moving is not a trivial matter. It can't be done so quickly." Tang Xiaoru made all the arrangements.

Chen Qingrong looked around the room and said with emotion, "When I think about moving to a new home, I really feel reluctant to leave this home."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "How about you continue to stay here? Or I can move in by myself?"

Chen Qingrong shook his head decisively, "How can that be possible? How can a good couple live apart? Besides, if you get nipped in the middle of the night, you can't really pat it with a slipper, right? You still need me."

"Get out of here!"

Tang Xiaoru slapped him on the back of the head in shame and anger.

"Don't hit me on the head, it'll make me stupid."

"You're not smart, huh!"

In the afternoon, Mr. Xie called them and asked them to come over.

Tang Xiaoru changed into a more casual pair of shorts and an orange hooded sweatshirt. Because the sweatshirt was a relatively loose style, it covered her shorts underneath, making her look like she was not wearing any pants.

Standard missing bottoms style.

However, this style also has an advantage, which is that it makes her beautiful legs look longer.

In addition, baby Xiaoru now likes to tie her hair into a ponytail all the time. Chen Qingrong feels that if she is given a school bag, she can go to high school and act young.

She looks too much like a schoolgirl.

“It’s really burning.”

Chen Qingrong couldn't help but look at her and said something.

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "Where am I burning? You are burning yourself. You are burning everything you see. Humph."

Chen Qingrong laughed dryly. "Ha, cough, if Mr. Xie hadn't been so anxious on the phone, I really wanted to let you lie on the coffee table with your schoolbag on your back."

Tang Xiaoru's face turned red. "I don't understand what you are saying. Humph, let's go now."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong scratched his trousers and adjusted the trajectory before driving out with Tang Xiaoru.

His car was smashed by Jason last month, but it was later repaired. Jason also compensated him in full. After receiving the money, he blocked Jason's WeChat.

After all, it was Jason who blocked him first. Now that he has the chance, he must block him back.

Otherwise, where would Boss Chen’s face be?

Jingle Bell.

The cell phone in Chen Qingrong's pocket rang.

Fortunately, Xiaoru was driving again today, so Chen Qingrong casually took it out and answered it, "Hey, Gao Qiang, what's going on?"

Gao Qiang smiled and said, "Old Chen, are you and sister-in-law free tomorrow night? Come to my and Susu's engagement party then."

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "No, why are you holding an engagement party so suddenly? At least give us ten days or half a month's notice in advance."

Gao Qiang said helplessly, "Originally, Susu and I didn't plan to get married, but my parents discussed it with my father-in-law and decided to go ahead with it. Because the decision was sudden, we didn't inform them in advance. I just booked the hotel yesterday, so now I have to call everyone one by one to inform them."

Chen Qingrong said with a smile, "So that's what's going on. How many tables do we need to set up?"

"Because it was an engagement, not a wedding, I didn't plan to have too many tables. I only invited some important guests, so there were about eight tables. I also invited some colleagues who I had a good relationship with when I was in the head office."

"Did you invite Madoka and the others?"

"After I finish calling you, I plan to call Madoka next."

"Okay, send me the address later, and we will be there on time tomorrow night."

"okay!"

The phone hangs up.

Tang Xiaoru asked at this time, "Gao Qiang and his family are going to hold an engagement party?"

Chen Qingrong nodded. "Yes, it will be tomorrow night. It's quite sudden, isn't it?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled, "It's indeed sudden. Why do they like to launch surprise attacks so much?"

"Gao Qiang said that the couple originally didn't plan to get married, but their parents suddenly said they wanted to get married. I guess they wanted to get back all the money they had given away before?"

"Do I need to give gifts for the engagement party? I think we didn't collect gifts for the engagement party we held before."

"Everyone has different ideas. Anyway, let's prepare."

"Then how much do you plan to give?" Tang Xiaoru asked, and then thought for a while, "I remember when we got married, Gao Qiang gave 1314, right?"

"Yes." Chen Qingrong nodded and hesitated for a moment, "How about we give 8888? After all, we are richer than him. He gave 1314, we can't possibly give him 1314, right?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "No, if you give him this much, when we have a child and invite him to our banquet, he will probably have to pay back 8888. How about this, we will pay back whatever he gives us."

Chen Qingrong thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements, wife."

When they arrived at Mr. Xie's place, they found that Mr. Xie's face was even more sallow than the last time they saw him.

Tang Xiaoru said with concern, "Mr. Xie, you really need to go to the hospital. Your complexion is not right now. I think there must be something wrong with your liver."

Director Xie said casually, "I've already seen the doctor and taken some medicine. Don't worry, Xiao Tang. I will definitely take good care of my health before I choose a successor."

"I called you here this time because I want to ask you for help with something."

"Mr. Xie, please tell us. We will definitely help if we can." Tang Xiaoru's attitude was also very sincere.

Mr. Xie hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I want to borrow some money from you."

"what?"

These words not only stunned Tang Xiaoru, but also Chen Qingrong.

"Boss Xie, you're asking us to lend you money?" Tang Xiaoru thought she had misheard and said half-jokingly, "You're not making fun of us juniors, are you? As the president of such a big company, do you need to borrow money from us?"

Although we don’t know the exact market value of Mr. Xie’s company, it is certain that it is definitely far greater than the market value of their company.

It has always been the poor who borrow money from the rich, but in her case, how come it became the rich who borrow money from the less rich?
Isn't this the opposite of Tiangang?

Director Xie smiled helplessly, "Of course I'm not making fun of you. I really need money now because our company's last round of financing failed, and the actual profit of the hot pot city is not as good as I imagined. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to ask the bank for money."

At this point, she sighed, "Alas, several of my old friends advised me that I should stop working so hard when I'm old, and just run the company steadily. Why bother to open a hot pot restaurant? I overestimated my ability."

The couple looked at each other, and they could both hear a hint of the hero's loneliness from Mr. Xie's words.

There is no doubt that Ms. Xie is definitely a heroine.

But she is old after all, and she is not as brave as she was when she was young.

Tang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Xie, you also know the size of our company. The current liquid funds in our company's account that I can use are only about 100 million. If you need it, I can lend it to you. You can pay it back when you have the money."

Chen Qingrong looked at her meaningfully, opened his mouth to say something, but finally held back.

Director Xie thought about it and nodded. "Okay, then I will shamelessly ask you to borrow this 100 million. I will look for my other friends. Don't worry, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Tang Xiaoru laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are not in a hurry. You can pay me back when you have money." The matter was settled in this way.

Finally, Tang Xiaoru and Mr. Xie agreed that the money would be transferred to her on Monday. Mr. Xie also insisted on writing them an IOU. Tang Xiaoru didn't want it at first, but Mr. Xie insisted that she accept it, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After leaving Director Xie's company, Chen Qingrong sighed, "It seems that Director Xie is really in trouble now, otherwise she wouldn't have asked us for the 100 million. I don't know how big a hole she is missing now."

Generally speaking, one hundred million is a small amount of money for someone like Mr. Xie. When Tang Xiaoru said one hundred million, Chen Qingrong thought that Mr. Xie would subconsciously say that it was not enough and would not want it.

Unexpectedly, she actually wanted it.

From this we can see that she is seriously short of money now, otherwise she wouldn't want such a small amount of money.

Tang Xiaoru shook her head gently, "Then I don't know. Anyway, we can only give her 100 million at most. After all, our own company needs to be operated, and the company's account cannot be short of cash."

"What if Mr. Xie doesn't return the 100 million?" Chen Qingrong asked.

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "Then let's say we spent 100 million to get a clear picture of a person. However, it's impossible for Mr. Xie not to pay it back. I believe this."

Chen Qingrong smacked his lips. "God bless Mr. Xie and he'd better pay back the money. Otherwise, the price of recognizing a person is really too high."

At this time, Yang Bingbing called Tang Xiaoru.

"Xiao Ru, Furong is here with me, are you and your husband coming over?"

"Are you asking us to play mahjong again?" Tang Xiaoru joked, "Last time we played mahjong, you two were beaten to a pulp by my husband. Do you still dare to play?"

Yang Bingbing snorted, "Huh, look how proud I am of you, but this time I'm not going to play mahjong, I have something to talk to you about, is it considered an investment together? Well, anyway, if you have nothing to do, come over first."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

After Tang Xiaoru hung up the phone, she told Chen Qingrong that they were going to Yang Bingbing's house next.

Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "Let me go pee first. I've been holding it in in Director Xie's office just now."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the car."

"Ah."

More than an hour later, the two arrived at Yang Bingbing's house.

"Come on, come in quickly."

Yang Bingbing is too lazy to move now, so whenever there are other people around her, it is usually others who open the door. For example, now, it was Ren Furong who opened the door for them.

"Furong, are you wearing Bingbing's clothes?" Tang Xiaoru recognized the pajamas on Ren Furong.

Ren Furong nodded and said casually, "Well, my brother-in-law was not at home last night, so I stayed to accompany Sister Bingbing. Since I didn't bring pajamas, I wore hers."

Tang Xiaoru said, "Oh!" She walked over and sat next to Yang Bingbing and asked, "Is your husband, Lao Yan, not coming home again? You are almost due to give birth, how dare he not come back? Isn't he afraid that you will suddenly give birth?"

Yang Bingbing spread her hands helplessly, "It's the same client he received before, the senior in the entertainment industry. He's still looking for him now. He's too busy. I can understand him, but he'll be fine after this busy period."

"He's working overtime today too?"

"No, I went to our new home and won't be back until the evening." Yang Bingbing looked at Chen Qingrong who was getting purified water to drink and called him, "Don't just drink water, come and sit down. It's as if I'm not letting you sit down."

Chen Qingrong took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "I was mainly thirsty, and you girls were chatting, so I was embarrassed to interrupt."

Yang Bingbing said shockingly, "You are embarrassed to sleep with my best friend, but you are embarrassed to interrupt?"

"Don't bring this up on me, Bingbing." Tang Xiaoru blushed and retorted, "How dare you say that? Didn't your old man Yan sleep with you? And you're pregnant."

"Ahem." Yang Bingbing choked and looked at Ren Furong, changing the subject, "Furong, when are you going to find a partner? Don't set your standards too high. You're not young anymore. If you meet a good partner, settle down with him/her as soon as possible."

Ren Furong raised her hands awkwardly, "Sister Bingbing, why are you dragging me into your conversation with Sister Xiaoru? I don't want to date or get married. I don't have much confidence in marriage or men."

"Is it because of Baiyun Peak?" Yang Bingbing asked tentatively.

Ren Furong sighed silently, "It has something to do with him. Plus, I now find that being single is pretty good. Why should I find a man to control me?"

"Now that you put it that way, Xiaoru and I seem quite pitiful."

"You are pitiful, but I am not. Our Chen Qingrong loves me very much, and I am very happy."

Tang Xiaoru was showing off her happiness all the time, and she almost felt embarrassed for Chen Qingrong.

He said to Ren Furong, "If you don't want to find her for now, don't look for her. It will be in time when you want to find her. Just be careful not to be over 35 years old, otherwise, you really won't be able to find her."

Ren Furong pouted, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Chen Qingrong asked Yang Bingbing again, "By the way, sister Bingbing, why did you ask Xiaoru and I to come here?"

"Call me sister!" Yang Bingbing glared at him. "Have you forgotten that Xiaoru and I are sisters? Look at how our Lao Yan calls Xiaoru."

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Okay, Sister Bingbing."

Yang Bingbing, "..."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm so angry that my appendix hurts." Yang Bingbing glanced at him, then took Tang Xiaoru's hand and said, "Xiaoru, Furong and I are planning to open a trendy brand store. With my current popularity and the popularity of this outdated female star, we will definitely have a lot of business. How about investing in it?"

Before Tang Xiaoru could reply, Chen Qingrong said sarcastically, "Is it the kind of trendy brand store that specializes in taking advantage of fans? Why do you people in the entertainment industry like to deal in trendy brands so much? Who told you that your stuff is trendy?"

"How can you talk like that?" Yang Bingbing glanced at him in dissatisfaction, "Those are all the fans' love for us idols. How can you call it cutting leeks? Right, Furong?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Ren Furong nodded frantically, "Although I am not popular now, I can still be a clerk, so Sister Xiaoru, do you want to invest?"

Tang Xiaoru asked curiously at this time, "Are you two going to create an original fashion brand?"

"Yes, just like the pair of socks on my feet." Yang Bingbing pulled up her trouser legs, revealing the black and white socks on her feet. "Can you tell which brand these are from?"

Tang Xiaoru took a closer look and said, "There's no logo on it, but it looks very fashionable and expensive."

Chen Qingrong nodded in agreement, "Well, considering Sister Bingbing's wealth, this pair of socks must be worth no less than four figures."

Yang Bingbing smiled mysteriously and said, "You are all wrong. This pair of socks was designed by Furong herself."

"What? Designed by Furong?" Tang Xiaoru looked at Ren Furong in surprise, "You have this skill? Then why are you opening a trendy brand store? Just come to work in our company."

Ren Furong quickly waved her hands in surprise, "No, no, no, Sister Xiaoru, I don't have that ability. I just know how to draw. Besides, this isn't an exquisite design. It's all Sister Bingbing's flattery."

"You don't have to be so modest. The design is really good. With your status, it will definitely be a bestseller." Tang Xiaoru touched her chin and said after thinking for a while, "Okay, I'll invest."

"That's great." Yang Bingbing hugged Yang Bingbing with her left hand and Ren Furong with her right hand. "Then the three of us sisters are like sisters working together, and we can definitely carve out a path in the fashion industry."

This matter is basically settled.

Next, they began to discuss finding a factory. Tang Xiaoru's suggestion was not to rush into it. They could first make a batch of patterns and try to sell them to see how they turned out. In addition, they could also design other plans, including hats, shoes, and clothes.

It is said that three women make a drama, and the stage of these three women is getting bigger and bigger. In just forty minutes, Yang Bingbing has begun to fantasize about the listing of their trendy brand store.

In the evening, after Yan Mo came back, the five of them had a nice dinner together.

After finishing their meal, Chen Qingrong and his wife went downstairs with Ren Furong.

"By the way, Furong, I always forgot to ask you, how are you doing now? It's been such a long time since you left the drug rehabilitation center, do you still have the urge to touch that thing again?"

Tang Xiaoru asked with concern.

Ren Furong shook her head confidently, "I don't have that kind of impulse at all. Maybe it's because I've been busy managing the flower shop since I got out, and I haven't had any free time. Anyway, when the supervisors from the drug rehabilitation center came to visit me, they said that I behaved very well and gave me a little red flower."

Chen Qingrong was immediately amused. "Why are you still handing out little red flowers like the kids in kindergarten? However, as long as you perform well, it's fine as long as you can enter the palace."

Ren Furong snorted softly and said angrily, "Brother Chen, why don't you always expect me to order something good?"

Tang Xiaoru put her arm around her shoulders and said to her with a smile, "Don't worry about him. Chen Qingrong is like that. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You should be careful when driving later."

"Yeah, bye then. Be careful on the road."

"OK Bye Bye."

Ren Furong left first.

Tang Xiaoru also drove the drunk Chen Qingrong back home.

After returning home in the evening, Tang Xiaoru felt sorry for Chen Qingrong because he drank too much with Yan Mo tonight, so she didn't let him hand in his homework. She went to take a shower first and asked Chen Qingrong to go to bed and warm the bed for her.

Chen Qingrong said okay, and after entering the bedroom, he turned on the air conditioner to 25 degrees.

The temperature during this period is actually not particularly high, but it is mainly because the weather is too dry, which always makes people feel uncomfortable all over. If you don’t turn on the air conditioner when you sleep, you really can’t sleep well.

drop.

At this time, Xing Nana sent a WeChat message to Chen Qingrong, "Teacher Chen, your comic was maliciously reported. We have received an official warning from Bilibili, asking us to revise it."

Chen Qingrong was stunned after seeing this message, and quickly replied, "Who reported my comic? How did my comic violate the rules?"

Xing Nana, "Wait, isn't it because your original novel contains a tribute to the Four Crossings of the Chishui River, and then it was reported for being politically involved."

Chen Qingrong, "...I give up. I was paying tribute, and it was a positive description. How could it be against the rules? What kind of brain-dead people are reporting me? The officials of Station B are the same. They just accepted the case without checking it thoroughly?"

Xing Nana, "Teacher Chen, please don't be angry. We have already appealed to the official website of B Station. At most, we will simply delete about one-third of the content in one chapter. It will not have a big impact on the serialization of the comics."

Chen Qingrong, "I'm not angry, I just feel speechless, what a bunch of idiots. Anyway, you guys can do whatever you want. Do you need my cooperation to say something on my Weibo? I have 2,000 followers on Weibo now. I'm here to call on everyone to condemn what the official B station did."

Xing Nana, "Wipe your sweat, no, no, Teacher Chen, you should not make any remarks that may cause a big stir at this time, otherwise it will be even more difficult to end. Just leave it to us to handle it."

Chen Qingrong, "Smile, okay, I get it."

After replying this sentence, Xing Nana did not respond again.

Chen Qingrong logged into the game Against the Water after not playing it for a long time. After logging in, he found that Xiaoyuan was also playing Against the Water.

He asked Xiaoyuan what game she was playing so late at night instead of taking good care of her pregnancy. After she replied to him, he realized that it was not Xiaoyuan who was playing, but Liang Qingyun who was helping Xiaoyuan complete her daily tasks.

Liang Qingyun also said that Xiaoyuan has reduced her contact with mobile phones and computers, but she is still thinking about the daily tasks in Against the Water. Liang Qingyun now helps her to go online every day to complete the daily tasks.

When Chen Qingrong saw the message Liang Qingyun sent back, he couldn't help laughing.

He thought about how Xiaoyuan got into the game because of him. As a result, he doesn’t play it much now, but Xiaoyuan is getting more and more addicted to it.

Click.

Just at this moment, a crisp sound came from outside.

"What happened?"

Chen Qingrong was startled and ran out quickly, only to find Tang Xiaoru standing in the bathroom. There were some broken glass next to the legs of the dining table. The vase on the dining table had fallen to the ground and broken into pieces.

"Are you okay, honey?"

Chen Qingrong went over to care for Tang Xiaoru first, took her little hand and asked her.

Tang Xiaoru patted her chest gently and said with some heartache, "I'm fine, it's just a pity to lose that beautiful vase of mine."

"If the vase is broken, you can buy another one. It's okay as long as you are fine." Chen Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief, but then realized that something was wrong. "Baby, how did you knock over the vase? The place where the vase fell is still some distance away from here. How did you manage to knock over the vase and then pull it so far away without getting hurt?"

"Do you have springs in your legs? Or did you moonwalk over here?"

Tang Xiaoru said shyly, "I was spinning around just now, and I didn't pay attention, and my clothes hit the vase."

Chen Qingrong said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly want to spin in circles? You should learn folk dance."

"Oh, there aren't so many questions. I just suddenly wanted to change it. Stop asking me all the time." Tang Xiaoru was annoyed by his questions and changed the subject directly. "Please deal with the broken glass on the ground, honey. I need to blow my hair clean. Let's go into the bedroom later. I want to hear the results of your guitar learning."

Chen Qingrong immediately felt guilty, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I was learning guitar from the online tutorial."

Tang Xiaoru snorted, "Huh, I told you before that I would enroll you in a class, but you insisted on learning online. Can the feeling of learning by watching videos be the same as learning offline with a teacher?"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched. "How dare you talk about enrolling me in a class? Come on, I'm almost 30 years old. How could you think of enrolling me in a youth class? Do you know how upset I felt when I saw a class full of 12- or 13-year-olds that day?"

"I've been reduced to being in the same class with these kids. How shameful."

Tang Xiaoru said sharply, "You can't blame me for this. You have no basic knowledge, so you must start from the basic class. I can't enroll you in a professional class right away, right?"

Chen Qingrong pouted, "Stop talking. Anyway, I won't learn with the kids. I'd rather learn online. I have a good talent. When you're not at home, I can practice very well at home."

Tang Xiaoru sneered, "Oh, then I will test your talent later."

After saying that, she went to the bathroom to blow dry her hair.

That night, Chen Qingrong played and sang a song "Miss Dong" for Tang Xiaoru in front of her.

Although Tang Xiaoru was not a professional, she could tell that Chen Qingrong played much better than when he first got the guitar. At least there was no more strange banging noise.

However, it is still far behind the professionals.

Before going to bed at night, Chen Qingrong also transferred a gift money to Gao Qiang. After Gao Qiang knew it was a gift money, he refused to accept it.

Chen Qingrong said, "Just accept it. Who would attend a wedding without giving a gift?"

Gao Qiang, "Old Chen, please stop messing with me. This is just an engagement party, not a real wedding banquet. We don't accept gifts. If I accept your money, my wife will point at my spine and scold me in the future. I will return the money to you. It's great that you and your sister-in-law can come. You really don't want a gift."

The transfer was returned by Gao Qiang.

Chen Qingrong also showed the chat records to Tang Xiaoru.

Tang Xiaoru said, "Since he doesn't want it, forget it."

"Well, okay."

The next day at 7:30 in the evening, Chen Qingrong and his friends drove to the place where Gao Qiang and Miao Su were holding their engagement party.

An engagement banquet is different from a wedding banquet. Generally, it is just a simple meal attended by friends and relatives. What's worse, sometimes only the parents of both parties get together for a meal without even inviting friends and relatives.

After parking the car and walking towards the hotel, Chen Qingrong immediately saw a human-shaped stand placed at the door with a photo of Gao Qiang and Miao Su on it. The floating subtitles above the hotel scrolled with words like "Happy engagement to Mr. Gao Qiang and Ms. Miao Su".

"It's quite grand."

Chen Qingrong smiled and went in taking Tang Xiaoru's hand.

When they arrived, Xiaoyuan and Liang Qingyun were already there, as well as Zhou Tianyi and some good friends of Gao Qiang when he was in the company. In addition to these people, there were also parents and relatives of both parties.

Gao Qiang was wearing a suit tonight, while Miao Su was wearing a cheongsam. The couple was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and greeted everyone one by one.

"Happy engagement, happy engagement~" Chen Qingrong clasped his hands together, "I wish you two will have two big fat boys in three years."

Gao Qiang pretended to have a headache and said, "Old Chen, please don't curse me. Who can afford to raise two sons these days? Susu and I only need one child."

"Okay, then I wish you three boys in one pregnancy."

"Fuck, you just won't let me go, right?"

"Hahaha."

After everyone was present, the host invited by Gao Qiang's parents came up and said a series of auspicious words, and then sat down to start the meal.

Gao Qiang and Miao Su even came over to toast them during the banquet. Since the engagement party, this grandson has been smiling with his eyes never open.

"My son has grown up, and I'm very pleased as a father." Chen Qingrong couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't help but think of Sun Cheng again. If he was still alive, maybe he would also marry Ni Shengnan?
Ugh.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours before it gradually ended. Chen Qingrong asked Tang Xiaoru to wait for a while while he went to the toilet first. When he got to the toilet, he saw Zhou Tianyi smoking silently in the toilet, looking very annoyed.

"Ah, Brother Chen, are you here to use the restroom too?"

"Can you come for a snack?" Chen Qingrong curled his lips, kicked the toilet door shut, and asked him, "What's wrong with you? When I saw you tonight, I noticed that you were a little out of shape, and now you're hiding in the toilet smoking. What happened?"

"I, I'm in some trouble."
