First spoiled, then love

Chapter 583 Brother Chen, why are you becoming more and more pretentious?

"Are you so unconfident about yourself?" Chen Qingrong rolled his eyes. "This shouldn't be the case. I was the one who promoted you. How come you are not like me at all?"

Deng Xiaoshuang spread his hands helplessly, "Mr. Chen, I'm not your daughter, how can I be like you?"

"I can't give birth to a daughter as old as you." Chen Qingrong smiled and shook his head, and then said, "Anyway, you can do it. If you can't, I will replace you. It's that simple."

"Okay." Deng Xiaoshuang pursed his lips, "Then I will work hard and will not let you down, Mr. Chen."

Chen Qingrong looked at her seriously and said, "You shouldn't think like that. What you need to do is not let yourself down and live up to your own efforts. After all, you have grown up, and if you want to change jobs in the future, it will be easier for you to find a job, right?"

Deng Xiaoshuang was startled and quickly expressed his loyalty, "Boss Chen, I will never change jobs. I will stay in the company as long as it is open. Unless one day, Boss Chen, you don't want me anymore, then I will leave voluntarily."

Chen Qingrong just laughed and didn't respond.

It's okay to just listen to this kind of words, but if you take them seriously, then you are just being immature.

After all, Chen Qingrong has experienced too many job-hopping incidents since he started the company. At the beginning, every one of those employees expressed their loyalty to him, but in the end, they still jumped after all, right?
Of course, Chen Qingrong never blamed those people in his heart.

After all, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places, and you cannot stop others from running towards a better future.

What he looked down on were those people who had the audacity to come back for an interview not long after changing jobs. Those people typically overestimated themselves, thinking that they could live a better life after leaving Chen Qingrong's company, but were severely slapped in the face by reality.

If that kind of person comes back, Chen Qingrong will definitely not accept him.

When it was busy until noon, Chen Qingrong treated his employees to milk tea, which of course was ordered from Ni Shengnan's shop.

This time, she brought the male employees in the store to deliver it.

Chen Qingrong also said, "You don't have to come here in person every time to deliver the milk tea. You are a boss after all. It's not right for you to always deliver the milk tea in person."

Ni Shengnan smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Chen. I will only deliver to your place. I will definitely not deliver to other people who order takeout. Besides, I have already selected a store manager from our store. She is a very capable girl. With her in charge, I feel much more relaxed."

Chen Qingrong glanced at the male clerk over there again and asked Ni Shengnan, "Is that boy new?"

"Ah."

"You're quite good-looking, but didn't you say before that you wouldn't hire male shop assistants? Why are you hiring again? Oh, I understand. You hired him because of his looks, right?" Chen Qingrong teased Ni Shengnan.

Ni Shengnan quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chen. I did plan not to hire male employees, but every time the store purchases goods and materials, the things are so heavy. We girls are not strong enough, and it is too tiring to move them. We still need boys to do these things."

"So you recruit male employees just to make them work as laborers for you? Isn't this typical sexism? Why can we boys only do labor? Get down on your head."

"..."

"Brother Chen, why do I find that you are becoming more and more pretentious now?"

"You don't understand my oil wheat."

Ni Shengnan really agreed with this.

She really didn't understand Chen Qingrong's oil wheat, just like the day didn't understand the darkness of the night.

Ni Shengnan stayed here for a while and then left with the clerk.

Chen Qingrong went downstairs with them and originally wanted to invite them to dinner, but was politely declined by Ni Shengnan.

"Now is the peak time for the store. We have to go back to help, otherwise the store manager and his colleagues will be too busy to handle it."

"Then next time I won't choose this time to order takeout from your store, and drive carefully on the road."

"Got it."

Ni Shengnan waved at Chen Qingrong, then left side by side with the male clerk.

Chen Qingrong looked at the two people's backs and found that they were quite harmonious and well-matched.

But soon he shook his head vigorously, driving the idea out of his mind.

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why do you always want to match people up? Was I a matchmaker in my previous life?"

Chen Qingrong laughed at himself.

In the evening, Chen Qingrong left work early and drove to pick up the cake as Tang Xiaoru had instructed.

On the way home, I received a call from Xiaoyuan, "Brother Chen, are you and sister-in-law free tonight? Qingyun and I are planning to treat you to dinner. By the way, not just you, but also Brother Qiang and Tianyi and the others."

Chen Qingrong asked, "Why are you inviting us to dinner for no reason?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and kept it a secret, "Actually, we have something we want to share with you. It's good news. Can you come? If sister-in-law doesn't want to come, then you can come too."

"I'll go home and ask your sister-in-law."

"Okay, anyway, I'll send you a WeChat message with the time and place later. If sister-in-law is too lazy to move, you should at least be there."

"I'll definitely go if I can get free food and drinks."

"Hey, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingrong was also thinking in his heart what good news Xiaoyuan wanted to share with them. It couldn’t be that she was pregnant with her second child, right?

No, no, no, that's too outrageous.

What is going on?
After returning home, Chen Qingrong found Tang Xiaoru sitting on the sofa watching TV series. She was holding a bucket of popcorn in her arms, with some residue at the corners of her mouth.

"I am back."

"You're back, husband. Oh, it's good that you brought the cake back to me. You can put it in the refrigerator first. I'm not in a hurry to eat it now."

"Ok." Chen Qingrong put the cake on the table first, then changed his shoes and asked casually, "Where are my parents and grandparents?"

Tang Xiaoru said, "My parents went out to do something, and they didn't tell me what they were doing. As for my grandparents, they didn't come because my grandpa has a cold, and he's afraid of infecting the baby in my belly, so he doesn't dare to come now."

Chen Qingrong smiled, "Your physical condition is not that bad. Our baby follows you to eat well every day, so I think his physical condition is also very good. Tell our grandfather not to worry, it's okay."

"I told him, but he didn't listen. He insisted. Not only did he not come, he also didn't allow my grandma and your grandma to come. He even didn't allow my parents to visit him, for fear that they would be infected too."

"Is this a cold or some infectious disease? Is it necessary to take such strict precautions?"

"This is also the old man's good intention. I can't say anything."

"Ok."

Chen Qingrong stopped complaining, lest Tang Xiaoru would complain about him not knowing how to respect the elderly and love the young.

Chen Qingrong put the cake in the refrigerator first, then returned to Tang Xiaoru and told her that Xiaoyuan and the others were going to treat them to dinner in the evening.

"So are you going or not, wife? Xiaoyuan and the others will understand if you don't want to go. After all, you are not able to move around easily now." Chen Qingrong said with a smile.

Tang Xiaoru tilted her head and said, "I'd better go. After all, I haven't been out for a long time. It's good to go out and exercise."

After a pause, Tang Xiaoru continued, "Besides, you won't drink if I'm here, so you won't go home drunk."

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "Even if you didn't go, Xiaoyuan and the others would have taken Yuanyuan with them. With the baby around, we wouldn't drink."

"Then I'll go even more. I haven't seen Yuanyuan for a long time."

"Okay, let's go together tonight."

Chen Qingrong gently touched Tang Xiaoru's thigh.

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him charmingly, "Don't be a hooligan, bear with it, after I give birth to the baby, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to be a hooligan."

Chen Qingrong was stunned. "I didn't do anything naughty. I just put my hand on your leg for a while."

"But now that I hear you say that, I'm a little scared."

"afraid of what?"

"You've been abstaining from sex for such a long time. If you start having sex again, it will be the end of me."

"Go to hell." Tang Xiaoru was so embarrassed that she punched Chen Qingrong and muttered, "I am a little eager, but I am not going to kill you, okay? I am not an unsatisfied woman."

"Besides, I'm afraid you'll dislike me by then."

"Why would I dislike you?"

"Because I have given birth to a child, so the experience I give you may not be as good as before. I saw many people who have given birth to children complaining about this on Xiaohongshu, saying that their husbands disliked them."

Tang Xiaoru was a little sad.

Chen Qingrong immediately said with a straight face, "I told you to read less Xiaohongshu, but you didn't believe me. Look at what you have become now. Why do you insist on reading those negative things? People are different."

Tang Xiaoru pouted, "But most people are the same. Otherwise, why do you think many doctors don't allow husbands to accompany pregnant women during childbirth?"

"Isn't it because it's inconvenient with a man around?"

"We are a married couple, what's the inconvenience? The main reason is that the scene of childbirth is quite scary. Many men have psychological trauma after watching it. This will destroy the relationship between the couple and affect their future life."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. It's all said on the Internet. This is already an unspoken rule in obstetrics. Husbands are not allowed in unless it's the second child."

"So you chose Yang Bingbing to accompany you during the birthing and didn't let me in. Is that because you're worried about this?"

"Yes, there are some, but more of it is because Bingbing and I agreed that we would be by each other's side when the other gave birth." Tang Xiaoru touched Chen Qingrong's hand again and said gently, "You are a very good husband, and I believe you will be a very good father, but this is the nature of us women, and it cannot be changed. I am worried, but it doesn't mean that I don't trust you. Don't think too much."

She was so gentle that the first thing she thought about was whether Chen Qingrong would be hurt by her words.

After all, in her opinion, Chen Qingrong was also quite fragile, and sometimes he would start to overthink things just because of something she said.

Chen Qingrong shook his head. "I'm not imagining anything, nor do I doubt that you don't believe me. I just find it a little unbelievable. After witnessing how hard it is for their loved ones to give birth, shouldn't a normal person feel guilty and want to make up for their loved ones? How could someone despise that?"

Tang Xiaoru shrugged, "You also said that only normal people would think that way. After all, there are still more abnormal people in this world."

Chen Qingrong opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

In fact, he felt that if he was allowed to accompany the patient in the delivery room, he would definitely not have any psychological trauma and would not dislike it.

This is not to say that he has not experienced it, so he dares to brag, but rather that he is confident in himself.

It wasn't long before the parents arrived.

They were originally planning to cook dinner, but Tang Xiaoru told them that they were going to a party in the evening, so they didn't have to cook.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes at her with disdain, "What do you mean by no need to do it? Oh, just because you two don't eat at home, we don't need to eat? Do you really think the world revolves around you?"

Tang Xiaoru's mouth twitched, "Mom, why are you so angry? Who offended you? Did my dad offend you?"

"It has nothing to do with me." Tang Chengshan hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, and added, "It was obviously your mom who was a novice and loved to play, and she insisted on scratching the lottery ticket. In the end, she scratched the 300-yuan ticket, but only won 50, and lost 250 yuan."

"What a fool! This number really sounds like you are pointing at your mother and scolding her."

Tang Xiaoru wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Lin Yue complained to her husband in dissatisfaction, "You only know how to talk after the fact, so why didn't you stop me at that time?"

"I didn't stop you? I, Sister Xiu'e, and Lao Chen took turns to persuade you not to play. It was you who insisted on playing. Who do you blame?"

"It's your fault."

Lin Yuexin said I can’t scold my in-laws, but can’t I scold you?

So she picked up a pillow and chased her husband, and the old couple started fighting in front of their child in a very ungraceful manner.

Wang Xiu'e came over and reminded Tang Xiaoru, "Don't come back too late if you have dinner at night, and don't eat things that you can't eat. If you are really greedy, just have a small taste. It would be too much of a hassle for you not to eat anything at all."

Tang Xiaoru nodded obediently, "Yeah, mom, don't worry, I'm not newly pregnant, I know what's going on."

"That's good, Chen Qingrong, drive slowly at night and take good care of Xiaoru, do you hear me?"

"I heard it."

As soon as eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Qingrong drove Tang Xiaoru out.

On the way, Xiaoyuan called him again. When she learned that Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru went together, Xiaoyuan seemed particularly happy.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Xiaoyuan for more than a month."

"It's not just you, I'm in the same boat too. Xiaoyuan is now a full-time housewife and hardly goes out. I can't see her even if I want to."

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyuan is really lucky. She married a rich man who loves her. She married the right person. She will definitely not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

"Why don't you say that Liang Qingyun was lucky to marry Xiaoyuan? If we women want to change our destiny, getting married is not the only way." Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him.
