First spoiled, then love

Chapter 565 Heading to Shaanxi (7000)

"one million."

"One million?" Chen Qingrong was stunned. "Cash?"

Tang Xiaoru nodded, "Yeah, that's why I asked you to get the cash."

Chen Qingrong asked curiously, "What do you want one million in cash for? If you want to buy something, online shopping is convenient nowadays. There is no need to withdraw one million in cash to buy something."

One million in cash could fill two sacks. Chen Qingrong simply couldn't imagine what it would be like to walk on the road carrying two sacks of cash. Wasn't this telling the robbers to hurry up and rob?
You don't think there will be no money-stealing in a harmonious society, do you?

One million is enough to make many people lose their minds and take a risk.

Tang Xiaoru said, "Remember when I told you that I wanted to do charity work after I gave birth to my baby?"

"I remember."

"I got in touch with a charity organization in Shaanxi these days. I learned that some children in their area still live in very dilapidated houses, and even the schools are leaky, so I thought about donating some money to them."

"Then their people will come to the Magic City in person, and we will just give them the cash."

"Is that so?" Chen Qingrong understood what was going on. "Is it reliable? Is he a liar?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head. "They are probably not scammers. I found them on the official website of the relevant department. The official website of the relevant department can't be fake, right? Besides, I also video chatted with them. The living environment over there is indeed not good."

Chen Qingrong asked again, "Why do we have to pay in cash?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "That's the second thing I want to say. I hope you can go with them when the time comes. You can bring the cash and buy winter supplies for those children yourself. This way, the money won't be missing."

"Although I believe this charity is real, I don't trust the people in it. If I donate money to them directly through online remittance, who can guarantee that the money will really be used for those children?"

Doing charity these days is a very complicated matter.

Many charities cheat people out of money under the banner of helping people and public welfare. If you donate one million yuan to them and they can actually use 100,000 yuan on those in need, it would be a remarkable thing.

Therefore, it is safer and more reliable to spend the money in person.

Chen Qingrong suddenly realized and immediately said, "No problem, I'll go with them. When will they come?"

Tang Xiaoru said, "It will probably be two days. It won't take you long to go back and forth. I estimate that you can be back home before Valentine's Day. Even if you don't come back on Valentine's Day, it's okay. You are going there for something important. I won't blame you."

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll bring someone with me. Otherwise, we won't be able to trust each other because we are unfamiliar with the place. When I get there, I'll see it with my own eyes. Then I'll share the details with you."

Tang Xiaoru nodded, "Yes, let's use that place as our first charity stop. Doing charity is not only to give back to society, but also to accumulate good karma for our children. You must pay attention to this matter."

Chen Qingrong said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely take it to heart."

"That's good, I believe you."

Two days later, the head of a charity organization called Red Love in Shaanxi actually arrived.

There were three people in total, one woman and two men.

The woman was the person in charge of this trip. Her name was Shen Li. She was 31 years old, had short hair, dark skin, and calluses on her hands from doing farm work. Chen Qingrong could tell at the first sight that she was a practical person.

After all, not everyone can endure the hardship of farm work.

After meeting them, Shen Li expressed her gratitude to them. Based on her introduction, Chen Qingrong also knew that their charity organization was actually established with the support of relevant departments.

When Chen Qingrong asked why they were still so poor, Shen Li looked helpless.

"It's too far. Although the relevant departments have implemented poverty alleviation policies in our area and relevant people have come to our area for investigation and research, we are in the mountains. Ten years ago, there was no road in the mountains. We had to climb up from the foot of the mountain. In some extreme weather conditions, it was impossible to go up."

"Even if we want to implement the policy, it will take more than one or two days, so the relevant departments over there can only start to save themselves. Now it is much better than before. At least there is a way to bypass the mountains."

Chen Qingrong was quite touched. "My family is also in the mountains, so I can understand your feelings. It must be hard for those children to go to school."

"Yeah." Shen Li sighed, "I went through the same thing when I was a kid, and I wore out many pairs of shoes. So the children over there are more competitive, and each of them regards studying hard and flying out of the mountains as their ultimate goal."

"With the help of relevant departments over the years, many kind-hearted people have donated money and supplies to us, and we are all very grateful."

Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru looked at each other and said, "Then I will go with you this time. I will also personally select supplies for the children, and then we can find a car to take them in directly."

"Okay." Shen Li nodded, "When do we set off?"

Chen Qingrong said, "If you can, will you leave tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Shen Li agreed, "Then we'll come back to see you tomorrow, Mr. Chen."

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry about us. We came to Shanghai to meet with the leaders here. They have arranged a place for us to stay. We will definitely come to meet you tomorrow."

"it is good!"

After chatting for a while, Shen Li and the others left.

Tang Xiaoru then asked Chen Qingrong, "Who are you going to take with you?"

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment and said, "Let's take Gao Qiang with us. Tianyi's wife is pregnant now, so he needs to stay by her side to take care of her. Gao Qiang and his wife are the only ones who haven't made any progress yet, so it's best for him to go with me."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Okay."

In the evening, Chen Qingrong called Gao Qiang and told him about this matter. When Gao Qiang heard that he was going to do such a meaningful thing, he agreed immediately.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Zhou Tianyi called Chen Qingrong, "Brother Chen, I heard from Brother Qiang that you two are going to the remote mountainous area in Shaanxi to do charity work, right? I want to go with you too! Take me with you!"

Chen Qingrong said helplessly, "You can't go. Your wife is pregnant now, and you have to take care of her at home. Besides, if you and Gao Qiang leave, who will be in charge of the branch? There has to be someone left to look after it."

Zhou Tianyi was still a little unconvinced, "You can let Brother Qiang stay to watch the door. He is the general manager, and his position is higher than mine. He should be allowed to stay to watch the door. He can convince the public more."

Chen Qingrong said impatiently, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? I told you to stay, so you stay. It's not like you won't have a chance in the future. It'll be the same if I take you there next time."

"Your top priority now is to look after the branch and take care of your pregnant wife. Don't confuse the big and small kings."

Zhou Tianyi sighed helplessly, "Well, okay, but Brother Chen, you promised me that you would take me there next time, you must keep your word."

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you."

We chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

Tang Xiaoru put down the tablet, looked at him and smiled, "Why, Tianyi doesn't obey the organization's arrangements?"

Chen Qingrong shrugged, "Well, this guy insisted on exchanging with Gao Qiang, I definitely don't agree."

He came closer to Tang Xiaoru and asked, "What are you playing? I heard your tablet making a lot of noise."

Tang Xiaoru said worriedly, "It's a cooking game, a bit like the Breakup Kitchen that was popular last year or the year before, but it's on mobile. It's fun, but it's too annoying."

"You've also played Breakup Kitchen?"

"Yes, Bingbing and I played together, but we only played twice. For the sake of our friendship, we decided not to play anymore after two times." Tang Xiaoru giggled.

Chen Qingrong was happy and suggested, "Then let's play together after you give birth to the baby. You are pregnant now, so you can't have too many emotional fluctuations. We can play together after you give birth to the baby."

Tang Xiaoru raised her eyebrows, "You also know that you are stupid, are you worried that you will hurt my health?"

Chen Qingrong said unconvincedly, "No, I don't like what you said. It's as if if we were to play together, it would be 100% that I would cheat you. Is it possible that you would cheat me?"

Tang Xiaoru shook her head decisively, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if I really did trick you, would you dare to scold me?"

"What am I afraid of?" Chen Qingrong glared at her, then slapped Tang Xiaoru's butt, "You little brat!"

Tang Xiaoru's eyes were as charming as silk, "Scold me a few more times."

Chen Qingrong got goosebumps.

He was wrong. He shouldn't have transferred Tang Xiaoru in this direction in the first place. Now, he can't transfer her back. Shit.

The next day, Chen Qingrong called Gao Qiang and went to a place in Shaanxi with Shen Li and others.

Fortunately, it didn't rain or snow today. The sun was out and the temperature was relatively high. It was warm sitting in the car.

However, when Shen Li and her group came, there were three of them, but when they left, Shen Li was alone.

Chen Qingrong also asked the other two why they didn't go back together.

Shen Li answered, "They came to the Magic City to take up their posts and just happened to be on my way."

"I've landed." Chen Qingrong curled his lips and asked, "What about you? Have you ever thought about getting a job in the relevant department?"

Shen Li shook her head. "Forget it. As the old saying goes, being an official is a relief. I am fine the way I am now. I am doing a job that I love. It is hard, but I feel very fulfilled."

"Well, I'm going to the bathroom first."

"Okay, go ahead. It will take a while to check the tickets."

"it is good."

Shen Li went to the bathroom first.

Gao Qiang sighed at this time, "Director Shen is also a powerful person. She is beautiful and capable. I admire her very much."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes, "You're already married, brother."

Gao Qiang's face turned red, and he said unhappily, "What are you reminding me of? I'm not going to do anything bad. Can't I just express my appreciation for her? How dare you say you don't appreciate her?"

Chen Qingrong said, "I admire her, but my eyes are not dirty when I look at her, but your eyes are dirty when you look at her."

"Go to hell with you. You are the only gentleman. The rest of us men are all despicable villains, right?"

"Hey, that's what I really mean."

So Gao Qiang gave him the long-lost middle finger.

After a pause, Gao Qiang continued, "To be honest, when I first heard what Director Shen said, I couldn't believe that there were still such poor places in our country. I had always thought that you and I were from relatively poor backgrounds, but now it seems that we are much happier than many people."

Chen Qingrong also said with emotion, "Yes, there is still a long way to go in poverty alleviation, and we must cherish the good life we ​​have now." "So you kid should stop looking at Director Shen with such dirty eyes."

"My darn thing!"

Gao Qiang felt really wronged.

He has small eyes and looks at everyone like that, how can this be called vulgar?

Are people with small eyes unfit to look at others?

When Shen Li came back, she brought them some drinks, which made these two grown men feel embarrassed.

Shen Li came from far away, and as the hosts, they didn't treat her to food and drinks, which would have been fine, but they actually asked her to treat them instead. How shameful.

After getting on the high-speed train, Chen Qingrong and Gao Qiang sat together. Although Shen Li was in the same carriage with them, she was at the front, quite a distance away from them.

"Get some sleep." Chen Qingrong put on his eye mask and adjusted his seat. "We still have six or seven hours of high-speed rail to take, and we have to change trains after we get there. We probably won't get there until late at night. I'm just praying that it won't rain or snow when we get there."

Gao Qiang hummed and asked, "Do they have towns there?"

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Of course, we need to go to the city to prepare supplies first, and then rent a car. Director Shen can't drive, so the rental of the car will be left to you. Director Shen and I will go shopping."

Gao Qiang was a little dissatisfied. "Why do you have to accompany Director Shen to buy things while I have to rent a car? Don't you understand that men and women working together are less tiring?"

Chen Qingrong lifted the blindfold and said, "Because my eyes are purer, and yours are too dirty, I'm worried that Director Shen won't be able to stand you."

"Fuck, you're not done yet, are you?"

Gao Qiang elbowed him.

Chen Qingrong slept for three hours before waking up.

When I woke up, Gao Qiang was still sleeping on the small table next to me. The whole carriage was very quiet and I could hear his snoring from time to time.

Although it was noon, the carriage was air-conditioned and warm and comfortable. Riding in a car was tiring already, so it was easy to fall asleep while sitting.

drop.

Tang Xiaoru sent him a WeChat message, "Are you still on the high-speed train?"

Chen Qingrong took a photo and said, "The picture, um, is still on the high-speed train. I estimate it will arrive around 3 or 4 in the afternoon."

Tang Xiaoru, "Hug, thank you for your hard work, I feel embarrassed to lie in bed and watch TV series with the air conditioner on."

Chen Qingrong, "Roll your eyes, I don't hear from your words that you are embarrassed at all. By the way, are the mothers here?"

Tang Xiaoru, "They were all at home. You left in a hurry and didn't tell them. I was the one who told them. My mom and your mom both praised you for your sense of social responsibility and said you did a good job. My mom, in particular, was so proud. Humph, I was too embarrassed to expose it and tell them it was my idea."

Chen Qingrong, "Sunglasses, what's the difference between your idea and my idea? We are a family, so everyone's ideas are the same."

Tang Xiaoru, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to continue watching the drama. Please call me when you get there to let me know you are safe."

Chen Qingrong, "Kiss, okok."

After Tang Xiaoru finished chatting with Chen Qingrong, she clearly felt a brief pain in her stomach. She wanted to call her mother to come in, but before it was her turn, the pain in her stomach had gone.

She had no choice but to rub her belly with her hands, "My dear baby, it's not time for you to come out yet, just stay in your mother's belly first."

At 3:50 in the afternoon, Chen Qingrong and his team finally arrived at the station.

Chen Qingrong stood up and stretched hard. Damn, his back and waist were sore from sitting.

He kicked Gao Qiang who was still sleeping, "Wake up Gao Qiang, we're here."

Gao Qiang looked up at him dazedly and wiped his drool, "Already here? So soon, I haven't gotten enough sleep yet."

Chen Qingrong was amused. "What did you do the night before? Why are you so sleepy?"

Gao Qiang said a little embarrassedly, "It's all for the sake of having a baby. Susu and I try various positions that are easier to conceive every day. It would be a lie to say that we don't enjoy it, but it's true that we are tired."

Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes, "You didn't tell her that you were coming to Shaanxi with me today."

"Yes." Gao Qiang scratched his head. "She felt sorry for me and had planned not to come, but I couldn't help it. After all, she was wearing a black sports vest under her pajamas. You know, no man can refuse a black sports vest."

Chen Qingrong was speechless.

This waste.

How can you not say no to a sports vest?

He can refuse.

But he really couldn't resist yoga pants.

After they stood up, they first took their bags from the shelf. Since they were not staying here permanently, they did not bring a large suitcase, but only a schoolbag each.

After getting her things, she followed the passengers in front of her towards the door. When she passed by Shen Li, she also stood up carrying her bag.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Gao, thank you both for your hard work. It must be tiring to sit in the car." Shen Li said politely.

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "It's not hard, it's not hard. We're taking the high-speed train, not the train. Fortunately, Director Shen's bag looks a bit heavy. Do you want us to help you carry it?"

Shen Li put the bag on her back and said casually, "No, no, I'm a farmer, this weight is easy for me."

Chen Qingrong added, "Although you are a farmer, Director Shen, you really can't tell that just by looking at your skin."

Shen Li said a little embarrassedly, "I also find it amazing. Although I often do farm work in the fields, my skin never gets tanned no matter how much I get in the sun. It's as if it's programmed by some program."

"That's a good thing."

"Maybe."

Finally it was their turn to get off the bus. As soon as they got off, the wind started to blow towards them.

Shen Li said to the two of them, "Let's go to the city and find a place to rest for the night. There are no cars going into the mountains now."

Chen Qingrong nodded, "Okay, let's rent a car when we get to the city."

"No, no." Shen Li waved her hand, "We have cars in our organization. I will take you two to our organization to meet our leaders tomorrow. Everyone who comes to our organization to do charity work will be personally received by our leaders.

"Alright."

As they spoke, the three of them began to follow the crowd towards the exit.

Chen Qingrong and Gao Qiang both took out their cell phones and called their wives to report that they were safe.

After the call, Gao Qiang asked her, "Didn't Director Shen call his lover to let her know he was safe?"

Shen Li blushed, "I'm not married yet."

"Oh, that's it. Sorry."

"It's okay. I'm not that interested in getting married. I still think my career is more important."

"You are so ambitious, that's amazing."

"It's okay."

The two were chatting in the front, while Chen Qingrong was talking on the phone with Tang Xiaoru in the back.

"Fortunately, it didn't snow or rain, but the weather here is really cold. I thought I was in the Northeast."

"I asked you to bring an extra thick down jacket, but you didn't listen. Can you withstand the wear you're wearing?" Tang Xiaoru was a little worried.

Although Chen Qingrong's legs were shaking from the cold, he still pretended to be cool and said, "It's a small problem. Your husband has a lot of fat on his belly. The fat stored in the fat alone can help me withstand the blizzard. This little bit of cold air will help me to survive."

Tang Xiaoru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You've found another good reason not to lose weight, right?"

"What are you talking about? Being a little fat is good for you. If you gain some weight, even if you really have cancer, you can stay in the ward for a longer period of time."

"Bah! Don't say such unlucky words, spit and stamp your feet!"

Tang Xiaoru was angry.

"Okay, okay, bah, bah!"

Chen Qingrong actually spat on the ground a few times and stomped his feet hard.

We don’t know who invented this mysterious ritual, and it’s probably just for psychological comfort.

Tang Xiaoru asked him again, "Are you going into the mountains tonight?"

Chen Qingrong said, "We can't get in tonight. We will find a hotel in the city to rest. Director Shen will take us to meet their leader tomorrow."

"It's good to take a night's rest. When you get there, you must watch and remember everything. I'm still waiting for you to share your feelings."

"Would you like me to write you a 500-word essay?"

"Write a paper of tens of thousands of words."

"My dear mother, you want to kill me, right?"

Chen Qingrong wailed in a pretentious manner.

Tang Xiaoru laughed out loud.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong caught up with Gao Qiang and the other man who were chatting animatedly.

After arriving here, it was Shen Li's home turf. She took the two of them to take an online-hailing car with ease.

Chen Qingrong asked, "Why don't you take a taxi? You have to wait a long time for an online taxi."

Shen Li said awkwardly, "The taxis here not only overcharge outsiders, but also locals. It's better to take an online taxi."
