First spoiled, then love

Chapter 542 Tang Xiaoru's Dishonest Hands (12000)

Friesen said helplessly, "Alas, although our President Liu seems to have 100% control of the company, the distribution of power within the company is still quite complicated. He is not sure how he was dismissed. Anyway, the current situation is that President Liu has nothing."

"Have we reached the point where we have nothing left?"

"Yes, and I have received a transfer order. I will also be returning to Guangdong Province. The construction site here should be stopped. Mr. Chen, I suggest you make preparations as soon as possible."

"The construction site is going to be stopped?" Chen Qingrong frowned deeply. "Even if there is internal fighting in your company, you wouldn't just stop such a big project, right? The project is already halfway through. If it is stopped at this time, it will cause a lot of losses to both our company and your company. Is the new boss so stupid?"

If the project hasn't started yet, it would be reasonable to stop it.

But the project is already halfway through. This is a big process and it’s not a game. How can we just stop it?

Chen Qingrong didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that there were such stupid decision makers.

Friesen sighed. "Ah, anyway, this is the news I got. You guys better be on your guard. I'm going to die first. I guess I won't have a chance to come back again after this trip. Mr. Chen, I'm honored to meet you."

Chen Qingrong was speechless for a moment.

Friesen hung up the phone.

Tang Xiaoru then spoke in a hoarse voice, "Boss Liu has been dismissed? Will the construction site be shut down?"

Chen Qingrong looked back at her and nodded, "Yes, that's what Friesen said. I don't know what happened. Why did they suddenly dismiss Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu shouldn't be so incompetent."

"Besides, I always think that the suspension of work at the construction site is a bit ridiculous. I don't believe that the person who will replace Mr. Liu will do such a stupid thing."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes and said, "Call Mr. Liu right away to ask about the situation."

"I guess his phone is no longer accessible at this time."

Chen Qingrong said this without stopping his hands. He found Mr. Liu's number and called him.

"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is..."

"It's turned off." Chen Qingrong hung up the phone irritably. "I knew I couldn't get through to him. He just lost the power struggle. I guess he doesn't have time to deal with us."

Suddenly, he thought of someone. "I got it. I'll call Miss Nana. She has been with Mr. Liu for so long. She must know more inside information than that Friesen."

Tang Xiaoru nodded and agreed, "Okay, then you call. Oh, and turn on the speakerphone."

"Ah."

After the call came, Nana actually answered it this time.

After listening to Chen Qingrong's story, Nana was not that shocked.

"I had already guessed this would be the result." Nana said in a relaxed tone, "The only person who could defeat Mr. Liu is Mr. Guan, the second-in-command of the company. Although Mr. Guan is the second-in-command of the company, he has already tightly grasped the power in private. I have reminded Mr. Liu before, but he didn't take it seriously."

Chen Qingrong asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Liu take it seriously? Is he so confident in his position?"

Nana said helplessly, "It's mainly because Mr. Guan is still his good brother in name. It was Mr. Guan who led him to conquer the world. The two have always had a good relationship. Mr. Liu has always respected him. Maybe it's because of this that he is more willing to trust Mr. Guan."

At this point, Nana said with some sadness, "Mr. Liu has always been relatively calm in everything, but he was a little unwise in dealing with Mr. Guan. What a pity."

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes, "Then why you suddenly want to resign, is this also the reason?"

Nana denied it. "That's not true. I'm resigning because I've had enough. But now I regret resigning. If I were still with Mr. Liu, maybe the result would not be like this."

Tang Xiaoru suddenly interrupted, "Nana, what do you think of what you said to Friesen, that Mr. Guan wants to stop our construction site? Will it come true?"

Nana thought for a moment before saying, "I feel it will come true, because you don't know Mr. Guan. He is quite an extremist. If he wants to change the dynasty, he will definitely eliminate all the forces that Mr. Liu had before."

"This project in Shanghai was started by Mr. Liu. It is Mr. Liu's achievement. Mr. Guan will not keep it. I think there is a high probability that it will be scrapped."

Tang Xiaoru was a little bit unbelievable, "But they also invested a lot of money in it. Isn't it a pity to just waste it like this?"

"Again, Mr. Guan wants to completely eliminate Mr. Liu's presence, so he certainly won't feel bad about this little money. However, this is just my personal speculation. I don't know how Mr. Guan will make the final arrangements. Anyway, even if you don't contact him in the near future, he will probably contact you to discuss this matter."

"Okay." Tang Xiaoru hesitated for a moment before saying, "Thank you, Nana. Your information is very important to us."

"You're welcome. I didn't help much. I just told you some of the things I know. It's up to you how to deal with it."

“Are you still in the Northeast?”

"It's long gone. I don't want to stay in a place that makes me sad anymore."

After chatting for a few more words, the phone was hung up.

Chen Qingrong suddenly came to his senses at this time and found that Tang Xiaoru had already lifted the quilt and sat up, so he quickly said to her, "Get under the quilt and lie down. You are just about to sweat, you can't waste all your efforts, lie down quickly."

"I don't have the mood to care about my illness at this time." Tang Xiaoru smiled bitterly, "If the project is really going to be scrapped, then we must be prepared to sue that Guan Zong and his team. After all, we have invested too much resources and money in it, and we absolutely cannot let it go so easily."

Chen Qingrong ignored this and just stepped forward, pressed Tang Xiaoru's shoulders with his hands, and forced her into the quilt.

"Listen, no matter how big the problem is, it's not as important as your health. You're pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to your health. As the saying goes, things will work out when the time comes. Now that things have happened, we should just find a way to deal with it. There's no point in you getting upset, right?"

"Well, husband, do you have any ideas now?" Tang Xiaoru asked expectantly.

Chen Qingrong shook his head helplessly, "No, I don't have any ideas now."

Tang Xiaoru immediately gave him a disgusted look, "You don't have any idea at all, and you still have the nerve to act like you have it all figured out in front of me, humph."

Chen Qingrong smiled helplessly, "I'm not acting. What I said makes sense, doesn't it? The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body. There's no need to rush for other things. As for us, we'll just wait for that Mr. Guan to contact us."

"You heard what Nana just said. In my opinion, the official will contact us within three to five days at most."

"Hopefully."

Tang Xiaoru also knew that there was really no better solution at this time, so she stopped worrying and pulled the quilt upwards to cover most of her face.

"Then I'll go to bed first, husband. I have a terrible headache."

"Go to sleep. I'll go to the next room to write some words so as not to disturb you here. I hope that when you wake up, your fever will be completely gone."

"Ah."

Baby Xiaoru slept for a long time.

When she opened her eyes again, she felt her whole body was sticky, and her underwear was stuck to her chest as if it was glued with 502.

However, after she shook her head gently, she found that her head was not as heavy or painful as it was at the beginning.

And when the two little feet touched each other, hey, their feet started to feel cold.

Tang Xiaoru immediately realized that her fever was starting to subside, so she kicked the quilt away.

"Hubby, cough..."

Tang Xiaoru wanted to call Chen Qingrong, but she found that her throat was still a little hoarse, and if she used the slightest effort to speak, her throat would feel as if it was being cut by a knife.

It seems that although the fever has subsided, the throat will not get better in a short time.

She didn't shout again, but quickly got up, put on some clothes, then got out of bed and went out to find Chen Qingrong.

As soon as I got outside, I found Chen Qingrong sitting on the sofa, silently playing games on his mobile phone.

"Hey, Xiaoru, you're awake." Chen Qingrong quickly put down his phone, stood up and walked to her. He touched her forehead with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh, it's not that hot anymore. The fever should be going down. But you still have to take the antipyretic medicine tonight."

Tang Xiaoru didn't say anything, but just pointed at her neck with a bitter face.

Chen Qingrong immediately understood and quickly went to get a glass of purified water for her to drink.

After drinking a glass of water, Tang Xiaoru coughed twice and then felt her throat felt much better.

"What time is it now?" she asked.

Chen Qingrong looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's past three in the afternoon."

"I slept for so long." Tang Xiaoru rubbed her eyes and asked, "Have my mom and the others ever come back here?"

Chen Qingrong chuckled and said, "They came back to give us some snacks and gift packs. However, after they knew you had a fever and were sleeping, they left first, saying that they wanted to go shopping again and buy clothes for us."

Tang Xiaoru smiled helplessly, "Why are you buying us clothes again? We already have a lot of clothes. Oh, I guess it's my mom's idea again. My mom is a terrible shopaholic. To be honest, only your mom can accompany her. I don't even have the energy to go shopping with my mom."

She was already quite energetic when she was shopping, but compared to her mother, she was still too young.

In this regard, she will never be able to surpass her teacher. It is simply impossible.

Chen Qingrong thought of another thing, "Oh, by the way, Yang Bingbing called you again when you were sleeping. I got scared when your phone rang. Luckily, I took out my phone in time to answer the call, so I didn't wake you up."

"I was wondering why I couldn't find my phone just now. It turns out you took it out. Why did Bingbing call me?"

"Yang Bingbing said she was planning to hold a shareholders' meeting. Oh, it's the shareholders' meeting of the trendy brand store that you three sisters organized. She asked me to tell you that after you wake up, if you feel better, you can go to her house to attend it in the evening. If you are not feeling well yet, then let's postpone it."

"We three need to hold a shareholders' meeting?" Tang Xiaoru was speechless. "Okay, drive me there tonight. I am indeed feeling much better now."

Chen Qingrong was a little worried, "You just wanted to reduce your fever, is it really okay?"

Tang Xiaoru nodded seriously, "Yes, believe me, no one knows my body better than me. If I say there is no problem, then there is no problem."

After a pause, Tang Xiaoru spread her hands and said, "Besides, I also want to go out and breathe some fresh air. If I stay at home all the time even though I'm sick, it won't help my body recover."

After hearing her words, Chen Qingrong pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, then I'll take you there. It just so happens that I have to go to the hospital to visit Aunt Sun tonight. I haven't been to Aunt Sun since she gave birth, so I have to go there tonight."

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"No need. The smell of disinfectant in the hospital is too strong. You can just stay at Yang Bingbing's house." Chen Qingrong didn't want his wife to go with him and smell the disinfectant.

The smell in the hospital is indeed unpleasant. Even if you don't have any illness, staying in the hospital for a long time and smelling the disinfectant can easily make you sick.

Anyway, Chen Qingrong would not go to the hospital if he could avoid it, and would only go to the hospital when he had no other choice.

Tang Xiaoru had no objection to Chen Qingrong's arrangement.

After baby Xiaoru woke up, she started to feel hungry.

Chen Qingrong felt sorry for her, so he made her tomato and egg noodles with a poached egg in it. He also fried some eggplant with minced meat for her.

In the evening, parents from both sides came to see Xiaoru.

Lin Yue and Wang Xiu'e bought them a lot of clothes, especially some clothes for babies. As for Tang Chengshan and Lao Chen, they fished all day in the wind and snow, but in the end they only caught some small fish, which made Tang Chengshan feel very embarrassed.

If Lao Chen hadn’t insisted on bringing them back, he would have released the fish directly.

Chen Qingrong was still joking, "Dads, the fish you two caught are really too big. To be honest, if I don't use a magnifying glass, I can't even see what they look like."

Tang Chengshan gritted his teeth angrily, "You like to ridicule, don't you? Fine, the weather forecast says there will be a snowstorm tomorrow, so you can go fishing with me. If you can't catch a really big fish, you'll see how I deal with you."

"No, Dad, I don't know how to fish, cough." Chen Qingrong was embarrassed.

Tang Xiaoru said to her own mother helplessly, "Mom, why are you buying clothes for Ningning and Xixi again? The clothes we bought last time are still at home. I haven't even given birth to the children yet, and you two have already bought all the clothes for the children from zero to four years old. How can this be possible?"

"I know you haven't given birth yet, but these baby clothes are so cute, and Sister Xiu'e and I couldn't help ourselves."

Lin Yue, as a grandmother, can no longer control her love for her grandchildren. One can imagine how she will spoil her children after they are born.

Wang Xiu'e suddenly caught the point, "Xiao Ru, you mentioned Ningning and Xixi just now? Are these the names you and Qingrong gave your children?"

"It was Chen Qingrong who gave them the names." Tang Xiaoru smiled, "The son is named Chen Ning and the daughter is named Chen Xi. I think they sound nice, so I agreed. Mom, what do you think?"

Wang Xiu'e naturally had no objection, "I think it's not bad, at least it's much more concise and nicer than those fancy names."

"I'm not very satisfied." Tang Chengshan cleared his throat, "I actually also thought of names for my grandson and granddaughter. Do you want to hear them?"

He deliberately kept the suspense.

Lin Yue kicked him lightly and urged, "Go on, why are you still keeping us in suspense? Tell us and let us hear whether it sounds good or not."

Tang Chengshan raised his head proudly, "Well, this is what I thought. My grandson will be named Chen Ziyu, and my granddaughter will be named Chen Nishang. What do you think?"

"Rejected!" Lin Yue said without thinking, "Don't you dare to be more vulgar? I still think the name Xiao Chen came up with sounds better. The name you came up with really reminds me of the names of the male and female protagonists in the non-mainstream novels I read when I was in junior high school."

"Is it that awkward?" Tang Chengshan looked at the others without giving up, "What do you think? Do you all feel the same way?"

Chen Qingrong and the others were a little embarrassed to say it.

It was Old Chen who took over the conversation and comforted Tang Chengshan, "Old Tang, actually, it's not that awkward, it's just that it doesn't sound very nice, um, that's all."

Tang Chengshan, "..."

Are you here to finish off the enemy?
It was soon seven o'clock in the evening.

Chen Qingrong first drove Tang Xiaoru to Yang Bingbing's house, and then rushed to the hospital.

Before leaving, Tang Xiaoru reminded him, "The road outside is slippery, drive slower, okay?"

Chen Qingrong held her face and kissed her, then said confidently, "Don't worry. As I said before, your husband is an experienced driver now. Not to mention that the ground is just a little icy, even if it's raining knives outside, I can still drive to the hospital safely."

Yang Bingbing came over at this time, folded her arms across her chest, and said, "Don't be so arrogant. Those who drowned were all good swimmers. You'd better be careful and don't really get into a car accident."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "Thank you so much, you really wish me the best. Okay, I'm leaving now. Sister Bingbing, I'll ask you to help take care of our Xiaoru."

"Don't worry, don't worry. Do you need me to tell you about this? Just go and do your thing."

"Ah."

Although Chen Qingrong likes to brag, when he really drives out again, he still drives very slowly.

Nonsense, just pretending to be cool, the essence lies in the word pretending. Does he really want to drift in the snow? He is not competing in F1.

Not long after, Chen Qingrong successfully arrived at the hospital where Mrs. Sun was.

He specially ordered a flower basket and a fruit basket during the day, so he came with these two items tonight.

After all, he came to visit an elder, and a pregnant woman, so he couldn't come empty-handed, right?

"Uncle Sun, good evening."

"Xiao Chen, you're here. Why are you buying things when you're here? Don't waste money like this next time, kid."

As soon as he arrived at the ward floor, Chen Qingrong met Sun Dafu who was also coming up with him. He took the initiative to greet Sun Dafu.

Ever since Sun Dafu had his second child, he has had a constant smile on his face, and anyone with a discerning eye can see how happy he is.

Chen Qingrong also felt a little emotional.

A newborn baby saved a family that was already in tatters. It's really great.

He quickly said, "Hey, this is a little gift from me. How's Auntie? How's she?"

Sun Dafu walked over and said, "Your aunt is resting in the ward. She is recovering well. Shengnan is here too. Come on, I'll take you to meet them."

"it is good."

After arriving at the ward, Chen Qingrong greeted Mrs. Sun and Ni Shengnan respectively.

Mrs. Sun's complexion looked very rosy. Although her hair was disheveled and she looked a little haggard, her overall condition still seemed very good.

Chen Qingrong met little Sun Niancheng again. The little baby was thin when he was born, not as chubby as Yang Bingbing's baby. His eyes were not even open yet, and his whole little body was wrapped in a small quilt, so cute.

"He does look a bit like Old Sun." Chen Qingrong couldn't help but say, "Blood relations are truly magical."

"Yes." Madam Sun nodded with a smile, and then said, "When our family holds the full moon banquet for Nian Cheng, you must come."

Chen Qingrong nodded quickly, "Of course, of course. I will decline the invitation even if I have something else to do. How can I be absent from such a banquet?"

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Sun felt a little sleepy, so Chen Qingrong tactfully left first, and Ni Shengnan sent him downstairs.

"That's great, Brother Chen. After Niancheng was born, my parents seemed to have suddenly become 10 to 20 years younger. They are more motivated. I don't have to see them sighing every day anymore. It's great."

Ni Shengnan expressed his feelings towards Chen Qingrong.

Chen Qingrong put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "Yes, children are motivation after all. They lost their motivation before, but now they have a motivation. They must cheer up and live a good life."

"Shengnan, you also need to live a good life. You still have a long time to live."

Ni Shengnan chuckled and shook her head. "You still remember to comfort me at this time. Don't worry. After being persuaded by you and Sister Xiaoru that night, I have now figured out a lot more. I will definitely try my best to live. I must see with my own eyes the day when Nian Cheng gets married and has children."

Chen Qingrong cautiously probed, "So you don't plan to look for another one? I know you have deep feelings for Old Sun, but after all, you are still young. You can't be without someone to rely on in this life, right?"

Ni Shengnan fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Qingrong laughed dryly, "I'm just asking casually, don't put too much pressure on me. I just care about you, not forcing you to find a partner."

Ni Shengnan suddenly said, "I don't know what will happen in the future now. At the beginning, I was very determined. I wanted to stay a widow for Cheng Cheng for the rest of my life. But, to be honest, when I was partying with you guys that night and saw you all in pairs, I felt a little uncomfortable."

After a pause, Ni Shengnan smiled bitterly again, "Maybe I will find another one in the future. I just said maybe. I hope Cheng Cheng won't blame me by then."

Chen Qingrong pursed his lips and said seriously, "He won't blame you, and no one in the world has the right to blame you. Well, the corridor is very cold, you go back, I want to go back too."

Ni Shengnan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chen, drive slower then." "Yes."

Chen Qingrong left.

He did not feel the slightest contempt for what Ni Shengnan had just said.

Ni Shengnan is also a human being, and as a human being he has seven emotions and six desires.

Although she can remain a widow for Sun Cheng now, what about two years later, three years later, or five years later?

Sooner or later she will have to find a new one, of course, this is also human nature.

In fact, Chen Qingrong really hopes that Ni Shengnan can find someone new. After all, people who are always obsessed with the past are very miserable. Ni Shengnan is Sun Cheng's lover, and Chen Qingrong and Sun Cheng are father and son. Who would be willing to see his daughter-in-law living alone for the rest of her life?

That's why Chen Qingrong said to Ni Shengnan, "No one in the world has the right to blame you."

Putting aside all the messy thoughts in his mind, Chen Qingrong drove to Yang Bingbing's house again.

It was Yan Mo who opened the door for him.

"Old Yan, where is my wife?" Chen Qingrong started asking as soon as he entered their house.

Yan Mo pointed to the bedroom helplessly, "The three of them are having a meeting in the bedroom, and they don't want me to disturb them."

Chen Qingrong widened his eyes, "Is it so mysterious? No, I have to go over and eavesdrop."

He did what he said and went straight to the bedroom.

Just as I was about to put my ear to eavesdrop, the door opened.

"Hey, Old Yan, where's my goddaughter? Oh, I miss her so much."

Chen Qingrong immediately stood up straight, pretended to be calm, turned around and shouted to Yan Mo.

Yang Bingbing opened the door and sneered, "Haha, you want to eavesdrop, right? Luckily I heard the footsteps and came out to take a look, otherwise you would have succeeded."

Chen Qingrong said seriously, "What do you mean by eavesdropping? I just wanted to come here to see my wife. So what are you three talking about in the room? Is it necessary to be so serious?"

As he was speaking, he saw Tang Xiaoru and Ren Furong also coming out.

Tang Xiaoru had a mysterious smile on her face, only Ren Furong had a blush on her face, and she was even embarrassed to look Chen Qingrong in the eye.

"We're just chatting among best friends, why are you so curious?" Yang Bingbing rolled her eyes and complained to Tang Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, look at how gossipy your Chen Qingrong is."

Tang Xiaoru also covered her mouth and smiled, "Chen Qingrong, don't ask so many questions. We are talking about things between best friends. I can't tell you."

Chen Qingrong twitched his lips and said, "Okay, then I won't care about you guys anymore. I'm going to go see my goddaughter."

Next, Chen Qingrong went to the baby's room to play with Zhongqiu. After a while, he went home with Tang Xiaoru.

In fact, it was so late, and Yang Bingbing had originally planned to let Tang Xiaoru stay and sleep, but Tang Xiaoru had become very attached to her bed. She tried, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't fall asleep, so she decided to go home and sleep.

After arriving home, Chen Qingrong helped Tang Xiaoru soak her feet, and during the process, he asked her what she had talked about at Yang Bingbing's house that night.

Tang Xiaoru casually said, "At the shareholders' meeting, we naturally talk about things in our trendy brand store. Now our trendy brand has basically gained a foothold among the young people. Bingbing called me over this time to discuss the general direction in the future."

Chen Qingrong was amused. "What general direction? Are you planning to go public? Don't be ridiculous. Your fashion brand is so popular because of Yang Bingbing's star effect. If you want to go public just like that, it's too simple."

"Who said we only rely on Bingbing? It's more about word of mouth." Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and said, "Besides, we don't have such big ambitions. Bingbing only plans to open a franchise store."

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes, "Then you must think carefully about it. Once you allow people to join, it will be difficult for you as the headquarters to manage. At that time, it will be easy for a bad apple to spoil the whole pot of porridge."

Tang Xiaoru hummed, "If you can think of it, we can think of it too, so we are just planning it now and have not implemented it yet. We will have to wait until the results of the market research come out before we can talk about the details."

Chen Qingrong did not respond to this question, but asked again, "So what else did you three talk about in private?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled but said nothing.

Chen Qingrong snorted coldly, "Hmph, don't think I'm stupid, I have a very sharp eye. When Yang Bingbing opened the door, I clearly saw Ren Furong coming out with a blushing face. Her face was so red, as if she had just done something like that."

At this point he suddenly slapped his thigh, looking annoyed, "Oh no, you three are not trying to make trouble, are you? Shit, why don't you notify me so I can watch the game live! What a mistake!"

"Fuck you!" Tang Xiaoru picked up the pillow and smashed it on his head. When she saw Chen Qingrong dodge, she became even angrier and said angrily, "What are you thinking about? We were just talking about some private topics between best friends."

Chen Qingrong kept pursuing, "Then tell me, I'm really curious. You know, I'm a gossiper like a bitch. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said playfully, "But I promised them not to tell you. How can I betray my best friend for my husband?"

Chen Qingrong was immediately unhappy, "So which is more important, the best friend or the husband?"

Tang Xiaoru thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the time. When I'm not having my period, my husband is more important. After I'm having my period, my bestie is more important."

Chen Qingrong was relieved. "So you treated Yang Bingbing and the others as sanitary napkins. I understand now. It seems that I am more important than them. At least I am still a person in your heart."

"Hey, that's not what I meant!" Tang Xiaoru was anxious.

Chen Qingrong said quickly, "It's okay, you don't need to explain. I'm already very touched. I don't need to hear anything else from you. Well, if you're almost done soaking, I'll help you wipe your feet."

"Chen Qingrong, you are tricking me!"

"I didn't, I just followed your words."

"You clearly know that's not what I meant!" Tang Xiaoru kicked her little feet in the bucket, splashing some water up.

Fortunately, Chen Qingrong dodged it.

"Hey, hey, hey, just talk without attacking me!" Chen Qingrong was slightly dissatisfied.

"Huh, I'm ignoring you!"

Tang Xiaoru said she had no reason, but after taking the antipyretic medicine and going to bed, her little hands started to get naughty again.

She couldn't enjoy that kind of good thing now, and could only drive the manual transmission under the pretext of helping Chen Qingrong relieve his depression.

However, although she said that matters between best friends should be kept confidential, she still couldn't resist Chen Qingrong's questioning and briefly revealed something to Chen Qingrong, which was roughly related to Ren Furong's private life.

As for what it was specifically, she refused to say it.

After waking up the next day, Tang Xiaoru's body temperature had completely returned to normal, her throat felt better, her head no longer hurt, and she felt much more relaxed.

It is exactly like the saying goes, "Illness comes like a mountain falling and goes away like a thread being pulled."

Originally, Chen Qingrong didn't want to go to the company today, but he didn't expect Bao Sen to call him.

"Mr. Chen, a senior official has come to our construction site. He said he is from the company's headquarters in Guangdong Province. His purpose is to stop the project. Mr. Chen, do you think you can come and take a look in person?"

"Boss Guan?" Chen Qingrong's expression changed. "I just knew about this person yesterday. I didn't expect him to come today? He is still at the construction site, right? Ask him to wait for me. I'll be there soon."

"Okay Mr. Chen, I'll tell him to wait."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong told Tang Xiaoru about this.

Tang Xiaoru was also a little anxious when she heard it, "He is so efficient? Damn it, I'll go with you."

"You don't have to go with me, I can go by myself." Chen Qingrong stopped her, "Just rest at home, leave this kind of person to me, don't worry, your husband knows what to say and what not to say."

Tang Xiaoru thought about it and decided that she should give more decision-making power to Chen Qingrong. After all, she couldn’t stay by his side all the time. Her belly was still okay now, but in a few months, it would get bigger and bigger, and it would be more inconvenient to travel. Would she have to follow Chen Qingrong everywhere?

If that were the case, there would be no way to train Chen Qingrong.

So she said, "Okay, then go by yourself. Anyway, you know our bottom line, and I believe you can negotiate this matter with him."

Chen Qingrong smiled carefreely, "Even if the negotiation fails, I won't fight with him. I don't want our children to fail the civil service exam in the future. Anyway, you wait for me at home. I'll go now."

"Okay, be careful on the road, don't worry about me, my mom and the others will be here soon, I won't be bored at home."

"Yeah, wait till I come back."

After Chen Qingrong pecked Tang Xiaoru on the face, he quickly left home.

The sun was shining brightly today, and all the snow that had accumulated on the road over the past two days had been cleared away, and even the ice had melted. As a result, the road conditions were better and more suitable for driving.

After Chen Qingrong drove to the construction site, he called Bao Sen first, and Bao Sen came to pick him up soon.

"Mr. Chen, you are here!"

"I thought the official would come with you." Chen Qingrong frowned slightly, "It seems that he is quite grand."

Bao Sen smiled bitterly and said, "His ostentation is not just grand, it is simply extraordinary. Not only did he bring a secretary, but also two particularly strong bodyguards. He didn't look like he was here to discuss business, but more like a gangster boss."

Chen Qingrong hit the nail on the head, "How many people who can make it in Guangdong Province are clean? More or less, they all have some connection with the underworld. It's normal for this official to behave like this."

"Boss Chen, is our construction site really going to be shut down? What's going on? Is Boss Liu going back on his word?"

"It's not Mr. Liu's fault. Mr. Liu was dismissed because he was fought against by this official."

"what?"

Pawson was startled.

Chen Qingrong didn't have time to explain further, he just asked Bao Sen to take him to see the official.

After arriving at the office on the second floor, Chen Qingrong met the legendary Mr. Guan.

Just like what Bao Sen said, he brought a very beautiful female secretary with him, and two bodyguards stood behind him. As for himself, he was in his fifties and looked well-maintained, with not too many obvious wrinkles on his face. He had a cigar in his mouth, and because he was afraid of the cold, he wore a fleece hat on his head. He also wore a leather coat like the one worn by God of Gamblers, and looked as pretentious as he could be.

Chen Qingrong didn't like him.

Compared to his first meeting with Mr. Liu, this Mr. Guan gave him a very bad first impression.

He doesn't seem like a pure businessman, but more like a gang leader.

"Mr. Guan, our Mr. Chen is here. This is our Mr. Chen." Bao Sen took the initiative to introduce.

Chen Qingrong stepped forward and extended his hand, smiling and saying, "Hello, Mr. Guan. I am Chen Qingrong. I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you can understand."

"I'm Guan Changfeng." Guan Changfeng was still smoking a cigar and didn't extend his hand. Instead, he glanced at him lazily and said, "Forget about the handshake. My hands are not clean. Let's talk business. Mr. Chen, please sit down."

"haha okay."

Chen Qingrong thought to himself, do you fucking think this is your own home?
But he sat down anyway.

Guan Changfeng said directly, "Mr. Chen must have known the reason for my visit. Mr. Chen should have heard about Liu Dabin's matter, right?"

Chen Qingrong said calmly, "I did hear something about Mr. Liu, and I also knew that you were coming, Mr. Guan, but I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Guan Changfeng laughed and said meaningfully, "It has to be done quickly. This damn project is burning our money every day. I feel bad about it. We have to shut it down as soon as possible."

The speech is direct enough.

Chen Qingrong narrowed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Boss Guan, do you really want to shut down this project? You know, this project is also the first nail your group has driven into the mainland. When Boss Liu was here, he was very optimistic about it. Moreover, both your company and our company have invested so much money and resources in it. If you shut it down now, all the previous efforts will go down the drain."

"I dare to ask Mr. Guan to think carefully about this. Such a large project is no joke."

Guan Changfeng puffed on his cigar and suddenly looked at him deeply. "I will not change my decision easily. Mr. Chen, please stop talking. What I want to do is to completely eradicate all traces of Liu Dabin's existence!"

Chen Qingrong fell silent.

Guan Changfeng suddenly laughed again, "Haha, Mr. Chen must think I'm crazy. In order to completely eliminate his opponent, he is willing to give up so many resources invested in the early stage. But, Mr. Chen, you are still too young. You don't see the pros and cons of this at all."

Chen Qingrong suddenly clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Guan."

Guan Changfeng smiled, "I don't have much to teach you, but I just think you look good, so I'll tell you briefly, Mr. Chen, do you think the mainland's cake is big? If we go all out, how much can we eat?"

Chen Qingrong answered truthfully, "In my opinion, the mainland's pie is quite big. As for how much you can eat, it depends on the hotel's future performance."

What he said was equivalent to saying nothing, it was just pure Tai Chi.

Guan Changfeng didn't mind, but said meaningfully, "The mainland's cake is big, but compared with our casino business in Guangdong Province, it is really not worth mentioning. If we rashly shift our focus to the mainland, we will not be able to adapt to the local environment."

"Liu Dabin has a lot of ideas, but he is too impatient. This is a really big step. In fact, I forced him to do this. If I hadn't put pressure on him again and again, with his brain, he would never have been so anxious to make this move."

"But now the ending is good. At least he has stepped down, and this move has no effect. I will definitely withdraw it. That's how it is."

Chen Qingrong suddenly realized.

In this case, Liu Dabin was completely pushed by Guan Changfeng to make this move. Didn't he himself ever think of coming to the mainland to develop so soon?
These bosses from Guangdong Province always seem to have an undisguised contempt for the mainland, and seem to look down on the mainland's economy. This is especially true of this official Feng, whose words are even more obvious.

It is a good thing not to cooperate with such a person.

Otherwise, he will stab you in the back sooner or later.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Qingrong was not so sad about the project being cancelled.

He just suddenly said, "Where is Mr. Liu now? To be honest, after I found out about this, I called Mr. Liu, but his phone was turned off."

Guan Changfeng threw the cigar on the ground and stomped it out, sneering, "If I say I killed him, would you believe it?"

Chen Qingrong's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Hahaha." Guan Changfeng laughed again, "Little friend is so naive. You believe such nonsense. How would I know where he went? I won't care about the signs of a loser."

"Okay, I've said enough to you, Mr. Chen, today. In short, this project must be cancelled. This is considered a breach of contract by our company. We will pay you every penny of the liquidated damages. You can draft a contract and then contact my secretary Huihui."

Having said that, he also pointed to the beautiful female secretary beside him.

Chen Qingrong nodded and stood up. "Since Mr. Guan is determined to do this, let's follow the procedures. If Mr. Guan wants to develop in the mainland in the future, he can still find us to continue cooperation."

"We are doing business, there is no need to be so particular, as long as we can make money."

"I guess there won't be that opportunity. I've made enough money doing business with foreigners in Guangdong Province. I'll leave the mainland pie to my hard-working colleagues."

Guan Changfeng also stood up when he said this, "Okay, add your contact information to my secretary, I'll leave first, and the aftermath of the construction site will be left to you."

After saying that, he left with his bodyguards.

Chen Qingrong's eyes flickered.

Secretary Huihui came up to him, took out her phone, and smiled sweetly, "Mr. Chen, let's add WeChat."

"Okay." Chen Qingrong scanned the QR code and added her WeChat. He said abruptly, "I heard that Mr. Guan was Mr. Liu's mentor. Why did they suddenly fall out?"

Huihui tilted her head and smiled. "The boss's affairs are not something that workers like us can discuss behind his back. If Mr. Chen wants to know, he can ask our CEO. Our CEO is very easy to talk to."

Chen Qingrong smiled unnaturally and didn't respond.

But he sneered in his heart, "Is your boss easy to talk to? I really didn't see that."

He even felt that what Guan Changfeng said about killing Liu Dabin might be true.

However, he didn't dare to think about this matter too much.

because……

"Mr. Chen, I'll take my leave now. You can contact me directly later."

"Well, walk slowly."

Huihui also left.

Bao Sen said to Chen Qingrong with a headache, "Mr. Chen, is there no room for redemption? All our efforts have been wasted? That Mr. Guan is simply an unreasonable lunatic. Does he know how to do business? How can he do things like this?"

Chen Qingrong patted his shoulder and said helplessly, "Well, since the other party is willing to bear the penalty for breach of contract, there is nothing more for us to say. You should pack up and prepare to go back to the head office to work. We don't need you to watch over here anymore."

Bao Sen sighed helplessly, "Oh, okay, I understand, Mr. Chen, give me some time."

"Ah."

Chen Qingrong also gave a few instructions and left.

As soon as I walked out of the construction site, I heard a muffled voice, "Mr. Chen, our boss wants to invite you to the car to talk more."

Chen Qingrong looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was one of Guan Changfeng's bodyguards walking towards him.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Guan?"

"I don't know. The boss just asked me to treat you." The bodyguard made a gesture of invitation and said, "Mr. Chen, please come in."

Chen Qingrong thought about it and had to follow him.

They soon arrived in front of Guan Changfeng's Rolls-Royce. The bodyguard opened the door and Chen Qingrong found Guan Changfeng sitting in the back seat, looking at him with a playful smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, don't be nervous. I have a big plan that I want to discuss with you. Please get in the car."
