First spoiled, then love

Chapter 568 Tang Xiaoru's Surprise Gift (6000)

Chen Qingrong indeed easily found the surprise gift Tang Xiaoru prepared for him under the pillow.

Honestly, it was a real surprise.

Because it is a transformation belt of Kamen Rider Zio.

He took a photo and sent it to Tang Xiaoru, and asked, "Why did you think of buying this belt for me?"

Tang Xiaoru replied, "Didn't you like watching this cartoon some time ago? You even imitated others every day. I saw that you liked it, so I bought you one. Don't worry, it's an authentic one. With our current financial situation, I won't buy you a pirated one~"

Chen Qingrong was so touched, "I really didn't expect you to buy it for me. To be honest, I want to buy it myself, but I'm reluctant to do so. I'm not as decisive as you in this regard. Also, this is a special effects film, not a cartoon!"

A person's spending habits can reflect his or her character.

Although Chen Qingrong is very rich now, before he buys something, he still has to think twice whether it is worth it. Take the matter of recharging games for example. Let alone 648, he has to think for a long time just for the initial recharge of yuan.

When he went to the buff to recharge money to buy accessories, he hesitated for a long time before taking action.

It’s not that he can’t afford the money, it’s mainly because he likes to hesitate and likes to compare and consider over and over again whether it’s worth it.

But Tang Xiaoru is not like that.

As long as she likes it, no matter how much it costs, she will buy it. She never hesitates and never regrets it afterwards. Chen Qingrong is not as good as her in this respect.

Therefore, it was fortunate that Tang Xiaoru bought him the belt. If Chen Qingrong had waited until he had thought it over again and again, he probably would not have bought it in the end.

Chen Qingrong pretended to put on the belt and transformed himself. He also recorded a video and sent it to Tang Xiaoru, and also shared it with his brothers in the group.

drop.

Gao Qiang, "Is this the Armor Hero's transformation device?"

Zhou Tianyi, "It's Kamen Rider, but I can't recognize which Kamen Rider it is."

Liang Qingyun, "Brother Erhu's transformation is quite handsome. I want one now."

Chen Qingrong, "@Everyone, this is Zi-O's transformation belt. Your sister-in-law bought it for me. Isn't it cool?"

Gao Qiang, "@陈清荣, Lao Chen, why did you ask your sister-in-law to buy you a toy from a cartoon?"

Chen Qingrong was very upset. "I'll say it again, this is not a cartoon, this is a special effects film!"

However, because baby Xiaoru was not at home tonight, Chen Qingrong asked in the brothers group if anyone wanted to play games with him. Unexpectedly, the other three were still available.

Chen Qingrong was a little puzzled, "Are you afraid that I'll be lonely, so you pity me? Are you guys really that free?"

Gao Qiang, "My wife is having her period, so she doesn't have to hand in homework tonight. She gets annoyed when she sees me, so she just sent me to the next room. I'm willing to stay up all night with you guys."

Liang Qingyun, "My situation is similar to Gao Qiang's, but Xiaoyuan is sleeping with my sister tonight, so I don't have to accompany her."

Zhou Tianyi, "My wife has gone back to her parents' home, so I'm the only one at home tonight. Sweating, to be honest, even if you didn't take the initiative to find me, I was going to play games with you."

Good guy.

Now Chen Qingrong understood.

It turns out that we all share the same suffering.

So the four brothers started playing King of Glory.

Originally, I wanted to play LOL, but except for Liang Qingyun, Chen Qingrong and the other three only had laptops at home, and laptops are not very comfortable to play LOL on, so it is more comfortable to play on a desktop.

It was so late and they couldn’t afford to go to the Internet cafe again, so they finally chose to play King of Glory.

Although King of Glory is a stupid game, its advantage is that it is convenient and can be played anytime and anywhere.

Among the four, Liang Qingyun's rank was actually the highest, he was at Star Glory, while Chen Qingrong and the other three were all at Color Pen Platinum.

So Liang Qingyun had to change to a small account to play with them.

After the four people connected to the microphone, Chen Qingrong clicked on the match.

After entering, Chen Qingrong said, "Platinum game, everyone can play freely, I will just choose randomly."

So he chose Angela in an instant.

This hero just needs to hide in the bushes to ambush people. It is a very brainless game and even a fool can play it.

The other three were really casual too.

Liang Qingyun chose the most useless Li Bai, Gao Qiang chose the mixed-point Yao Mei, and Zhou Tianyi chose Cai Wenji.

Another passerby typed directly, "Are you crazy? Why two supports? Cai Wenji, can you switch to a tank?"

Zhou Tianyi, "I only know how to play Cai Wenji."

The passerby was so angry that he sent out a string of ellipsis, and then chose the more scraping Yao.

Stop playing these games!

The five talented people entered the game just like that.

Li Bai and Yao rushed to compete for the jungle position, while Cai Wenji and Yaomei followed Angela to kill people in the middle lane. No one cared about the top and bottom lanes at all.

The opponent's orphan in the top lane and the shooter in the bottom lane were both confused.

Hey buddy, are you starting to stuff bots into King of Glory again?
I originally thought that this game was bound to be lost, but I didn't expect that Angela's development became more and more outrageous under the protection of two soft supports. In the later stage, it became her personal show. She killed everyone who came. Except for the Donghuang on the opposite side, no one could withstand Angela's complete ultimate move.

This is what makes Angela such a brainless hero.

It’s similar to Daji. Once she develops well, she can kill people in one move.

Of course, this is only how you play in low-score games. In a slightly higher-score game, anyone can beat a little Karami like you.

"Won?"

Looking at the opponent's crystal broken, the passerby was in a trance.

No buddy, I was just following Li Bai the whole time, grabbing jungle monsters and doing nothing, and I almost started a team fight, but in the end, I let Angela lead me to victory?

The passerby even began to doubt himself.

Did they deliberately choose that lineup for some other purpose?

Is it because I have quit playing the game for too long and I can’t play it anymore?

The next second he quickly opened a room and wanted to invite the other party to come in and play again, but he didn't expect that all four of them refused.

Chen Qingrong and his team have already played a new game.

After entering, Chen Qingrong immediately chose Angela, Zhou Tianyi was Daji, Gao Qiang was Zhen Ji, and Liang Qingyun was Diao Chan.

Passerby, "??? Are you guys all acting in the Platinum Game? Are the actors these days crazy because of poverty?"

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
He directly chose a Yao girl.

No matter how good Chen Qingrong was at killing, he couldn't kill them all this time. The crystal was pushed down in less than thirteen minutes.

But he has a star-preserving card, so he is not afraid of losing stars.

The four brothers played a total of fifteen or sixteen games of King of Glory that night, winning half and losing half.

Zhou Tianyi was still sighing, "I lost, I lost to capital, alas."

After playing the game, Chen Qingrong originally wanted to have a midnight snack, but he was too sleepy, so he fell asleep directly.

The next day, I felt something rubbing against my face while I was half asleep, and it was itchy.

So he opened his eyes hard, and then he found that Tang Xiaoru had been sitting beside the bed, scratching his face with her beautiful hair.

"Oh, you're awake. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."

Tang Xiaoru stuck out her cute little tongue.

She said sorry, but her playful expression didn't show any apology at all.

Chen Qingrong rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost nine in the morning. What time did you go to bed last night? This is inconsistent with your usual schedule. Did you stay up late last night?" Tang Xiaoru asked him questions like a machine gun.

Because Chen Qingrong has a classic elderly lifestyle, as long as he doesn't stay up all night the night before, he can wake up on time at six or seven in the morning even if he goes to bed at two in the morning.

He didn't set an alarm, nor did he force himself to wake up. In his words, it was his body's biological clock that set it that way. But there was an advantage to this.

That is, if she needs to get up early the next day, she basically doesn't need to set the alarm clock. Anyway, Chen Qingrong will always wake up before the time they agreed on, so she can just let Chen Qingrong call her then.

It was the same when she traveled before, and Chen Qingrong's biological clock had never let her down once.

Chen Qingrong turned over, covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, "Ha~ I stayed up late, playing King of Glory with Gao Qiang and Tian Yi in a four-person team."

"How old are you all? You're still playing such childish games."

"A man is a boy until he dies."

"I see. No wonder you like toys from cartoons."

"I'll say it again, forget it, if you say it's a cartoon, then it's a cartoon."

Chen Qingrong was too lazy to correct Tang Xiaoru.

She couldn't understand the difference between special effects films and cartoons, just like he could never tell the difference between those damn lipstick shades.

Tang Xiaoru has so many lipstick shades that he sometimes feels like he is color blind.

What I mean is, aren’t there only seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and violet?

Why is it that there are more than a dozen different shades of red in the lipstick world?
It’s still too easy to make money from women.

Chen Qingrong rubbed his hair and sat up. "But baby, why did you come back so early in the morning? It's very cold in the morning."

Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "It's not cold. The sun is shining brightly today and it's quite warm. Are you hungry? If you are hungry, get up and eat something. My mom and your mom have already started making breakfast in the kitchen. It won't be too late for you to go to work after you finish eating."

Chen Qingrong pouted, "Can't I not go to the company today?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "No, it's the end of the month and we need to go to the company to settle the accounts. If you still don't understand, bring the financial statements back to me and I'll do the math."

"Who are you looking down on? How could I not understand?" Chen Qingrong was a little dissatisfied, but he changed the subject and said with a wry smile, "Anyway, I'll bring it back to you tonight. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't have confidence in myself. I'm mainly thinking that you are the president of our company after all, so it's better for you to come and take a look in person."

Tang Xiaoru smiled and was too lazy to expose him.

Chen Qingrong wanted to get up, but also wanted to do something fancy.

He turned over and picked up the belt from the side, and asked Tang Xiaoru, "Do you think I should change my appearance in front of our two old mothers?"

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him, "Stop it, aren't you afraid that they will say you are childish? Okay, hurry up and get up. Even a pregnant woman like me has to get up so early, how can you afford to sleep in?"

"Okay, okay, I'll get up, I'll get up."

Chen Qingrong had no choice but to get up and put on his pajamas.

Tang Xiaoru has now reached a place where it is inconvenient for her to walk, so Chen Qingrong was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Tang Xiaoru took a car out last night.

But, the person who took her there was his mother-in-law, and his own mother also came along. What could he do even if he was dissatisfied?
Life is just like this sometimes, so you still have to try some Coptis chinensis.

After having breakfast at home in the morning, Chen Qingrong got dressed and went to the company.

Originally his mother bought him a coat and wanted him to wear it, but when Chen Qingrong tried it on at home, he found that it was a bit small, so his mother had to ask him to take it off and find time to return it.

My mom even complained, "You always wore xxl before, why is xxl a little small now? Qingrong, you really have gained a lot of weight."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoru covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Chen Qingrong blushed and argued, "Mom, I'm not fat, I'm just happy fat, which means I'm very happy in my life now."

"Then you have to lose weight, otherwise you will have fatty liver."

"I know, I know."

lose weight?

Before Xiaoru became pregnant, Chen Qingrong still had the motivation to go to the gym, and he developed his abdominal muscles at that time, but now he hasn't been there for a long time. Even if you give him 1 billion, he would be too lazy to go.

Losing weight is also a habit that needs to be developed.

Isn’t the so-called thin physique also developed slowly?
After arriving at the company, Chen Qingrong called a meeting with everyone.

Because the Chinese New Year is only ten days away, there are still many things to deal with and meetings to discuss.

The annual meeting is already in preparation, and Chen Qingrong is fully responsible for this matter.

After the meeting with the employees, he instructed the finance department to submit the report as soon as possible, and then he went to the office to hold a video conference with Gao Qiang and Zhou Tianyi.

"The head office's financial statements should be ready today, so your branch office should hurry up too."

"How much your year-end bonus will be this year depends on this last wave."

"No problem." Gao Qiang said, "After it's done, I'll have Tianyi deliver it to you personally."

"Well, just figure it out as soon as possible. Also, I plan to do something special for this year's annual party. After all, I'm going to be a father in a few months after the Chinese New Year, so I have to celebrate. Besides, the overall environment this year is not very good, and everyone is tired, so we should have some fun."

"Do you two have any ideas?"

Zhou Tianyi suggested tentatively, "Mr. Chen, how about we invite a celebrity? We can't invite first- or second-tier celebrities, but third- or fourth-tier ones should be fine, right? I think Phoenix Legend is pretty good. Their songs are catchy. If they come to our annual meeting and sing a few songs, the atmosphere will definitely be very exciting."

"You call Phoenix Legend a third- or fourth-tier star?" Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes, but agreed with his suggestion. "We definitely can't invite Phoenix Legend. The appearance fee is too expensive. But your idea is good. I'll ask Yang Bingbing to help introduce two celebrities who are somewhat well-known but not too big names."

"Prepare some exciting performances and invite some domestic dance teams to come to our annual meeting to dance and liven up the atmosphere."

"This is good, this is good." Gao Qiang nodded vigorously, "I think pole dancing is good."

Chen Qingrong sneered, "Haha, OK, then we will invite all the family members and I will exchange some cash. The three of us brothers will each hold some cash in our hands. The girl on the stage will dance on the pole, and the three of us will throw the cash onto the stage below. What do you think?"

Gao Qiang and Zhou Tianyi's expressions changed.

"Forget it, Mr. Chen, I was just kidding. Pole dancing is too vulgar and not suitable for high-class performances. I think street dance is pretty good."

"Yeah, yeah, pole dancing or something, we brothers should just watch it in private."

"Look at how useless you two are. You are really henpecked."

Chen Qingrong himself is a henpecked husband, and he still has the nerve to laugh at others here.

After ending the video call, Editor-in-Chief Xing called Chen Qingrong.

"Teacher Chen, are you interested in holding an offline book signing event before the New Year?"

"Ah? Why are you talking to me about this again? Shui Ling told me about it before, but I refused. I was afraid that I would be chased and beaten by fans during the offline signing event." Chen Qingrong said with a guilty conscience.

With his current updating speed, it is not impossible for him to be discovered by fans offline.

Editor-in-Chief Xing smiled and said, "It's not for you. The website is going to hold an event to give back to fans before the New Year. You can think of it as a comic exhibition. There will be many well-known authors from our website visiting, and each of them will have a booth."

"Well, wouldn't it be awkward if no fans came to my booth?"

"Really? Teacher Chen, are you so unconfident about your popularity? You are very popular now, okay? And if you participate in this event, each selected author can get a special gift package customized by the website. I can't tell you what's inside, I can only say that it is definitely all good stuff."

"Doesn't Mr. Chen like figurines? The things inside will definitely not disappoint you."

Chen Qingrong's eyes lit up. "Although I don't buy action figures now, if you say so, then I won't be sleepy anymore. OK, I'll join. What day? What's the address?"

Editor-in-Chief Xing said, "The time and place have not been decided yet. Anyway, it must be before the New Year. I will tell you when the time is set. Anyway, you want to attend, right?"

"Yes, I will."

"Okay, then I'll pass on your name. As for the books for signing, we'll prepare them for you. You just need to come alone."

"OK, this website is really thoughtful."

"Of course, of course. The New Year is coming soon, and I'm quite busy here. I've already informed the operation department about your novel recommendation, and they will know how to arrange it. If there is any emergency, please feel free to contact me. I'll be busy now."

"Okay, get busy. Thank you for your hard work."

"You're welcome~"

The phone hangs up.

Chen Qingrong found Yang Bingbing's WeChat again and sent her a message, "Sister Bingbing, do you have time to come to my house for dinner tonight? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Bingbing replied almost immediately, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Let me make it clear first, I am very poor and it is impossible for me to lend you money."

"I don't plan to ask you to borrow money, I want to borrow people from you." Chen Qingrong replied.
