Chapter 44 Didi's Third Quarter Meeting
"Ok?"

Reaching out, he felt Meng Ziyi, whose body beside him had grown cold, and frowned in confusion.

Her eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes, only to see the empty indentation of the pillow. The silly beauty pouted in surprise and displeasure.

This is the first time in the past two weeks that Chen Xiu has gotten up early, and she didn't even need to be woken up.

Sitting up in bed, Meng Ziyi scanned the room but did not find the missing person.

This situation made her forget about complaining about Chen Xiu getting up early, and instead worry that he might have encountered some emergency that he needed to deal with.

"Like Batman?"

The thought that popped into Meng Ziyi's mind made him chuckle twice.

After laughing, she thought that even if Chen Xiu had something to do and left, she should have left a note or message.

I picked up my phone to check, but there were no messages he had left. The bedside tables were also clean...

With her gaze fixed on the half-open door, Meng Ziyi quickly slipped on her nightgown and slippers and went into the living room.

Looking up at the dining table, Meng Ziyi didn't see the note she had expected, but instead saw Chen Xiu, half of her body bathed in the morning light.

He sat there wearing shorts and a loose T-shirt, his hair not combed properly, his expression distant and indifferent, staring straight at the book open on the table.

Meng Ziyi pursed her lips, stepped barefoot onto the wooden floor, and silently approached Chen Xiu from behind.

Glancing at the densely packed tiny characters on the pages, Meng Ziyi indifferently withdrew his gaze, then hugged Chen Xiu from behind, resting his chin on Chen Xiu's shoulder.

"You got up so early in the morning just to read here?"

Chen Xiu, without changing his expression, turned his head and touched the character "Meng" to it.

"It is interesting."

"Is reading interesting?"

"Yes, this is the 10th time I've read this book."

After saying that, Chen Xiu placed the bookmark on the page she was reading and then closed the book.

Meng Ziyi glanced at the cover with curiosity, and the title was "Daily Records of the Founding of the Tang Dynasty".

"You like the Tang Dynasty?"

"I like Li Erfeng, especially his relationship with Li Yuan, which I have always been very interested in."

"Isn't it just that the son makes the father rebel, and then the son relies on his silly, foolish brother who likes to play with hammers to conquer the country?"

"Pfft~, you're talking about 'Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties'. Novels and history are not the same thing."

Chen Xiu pinched Meng Ziyi's hand and explained, but it was just a brief mention, without any intention of elaborating on it in a fatherly tone.

However, Meng Ziyi, who was eager to learn about her boyfriend's preferences, did not want the conversation to end there.

She shook her arm and pressed, "How are they not the same thing?"

"Hmm~, if we disregard the father-son relationship, Li Shimin was essentially the second-in-command who got things done; he was responsible for conquering more than half of the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan, on the other hand, was the top leader who knew how to manage things. The two of them were competing for the power in the company..."

"This is different from the TV series I watched. It seems that Li Shimin was forced to rebel by his brothers."

"How could that be? Before the Xuanwu Gate gathering, Li Shimin's positions were even more impressive than Cao Cao's after he was made a king. Who could have forced him to do that!"

At this point, Chen Xiu's expression suddenly stiffened, and then a sigh slowly appeared on her lips.

"Yes! Who could force us to do that..."

Meng Ziyi looked at Chen Xiu with a puzzled expression, feeling that he was talking about more than just the father and son from the Li family, but he couldn't quite figure out what the deeper meaning was.

However, no matter how unpredictable it may seem, even a foolish beauty has her own set of logical solutions.

"Didn't you plan to start a film and television company? If you really like Li Shimin, you can make a film about his story in the future!"

"That seems like a good idea too."

Chen Xiu tilted his head and said that he had just suddenly felt emotional. He had already decided to leave Didi. He went to the company meeting today to fight for the interests of his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiu smiled at Meng Ziyi and said, "Have you brushed your teeth? I cooked some porridge. After you finish breakfast, you'll be going to a meeting at the company later."

"I'm going to brush now!" Sister Meng turned and ran into the bathroom, her clumsy appearance making Chen Xiu smile.

When the two started eating breakfast, Meng Ziyi realized what Chen Xiu had just said: "I have to go to the company for a meeting later."

"Brother Xiu, are you going to be busy again after your meeting?"

"Yes, I was busy until the end of November, and then I joined the film crew."

Meng Ziyi pouted, a hint of reluctance at the end of their happy time, and said, "Then in December, can I visit you on set?"

"December……"

Chen Xiu muttered about the time, her expression somewhat hesitant.

"Can not be done?"

"Visiting the set is no problem. The filming location is in Shanghai, and my parents are home. I'm wondering if I should introduce them to you."

"Meet your parents?"

Meng Ziyi looked at Chen Xiu with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation, then her eyes hardened: "Sure! When are they free? I'll go early to prepare."

"It's just that the date isn't quite right, which is why I hesitated about whether to arrange a meeting for you, or to schedule another time later."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xiu hesitated even more, but when he met Meng Ziyi's eager eyes, he put down his chopsticks and his expression became serious.

"December is the anniversary of my grandmother's death, and our family is going to visit her."

"Um, this..."

Meng Ziyi gripped his chopsticks with a troubled expression, feeling that this date was indeed inappropriate.

Chen Xiu was raised by his grandmother when he was a child. Meng Ziyi knew how important this day was to him. If she had already met Chen Xiu's parents, it would be fine to go to pay respects together. The problem is that they haven't met them yet.

After much deliberation, Chen Xiu still felt that the timing was not right.

"Sister Meng, how about I visit you on set when you're filming?"

"You came to see me?"

"Well, how about I arrange some time next year to take you home?"

"also."

Meng nodded and smiled, thinking that this arrangement was quite good.

After breakfast, Chen Xiu took Meng Ziyi to the Beijing Film Academy, and then took a taxi to Hailong Building in Zhongguancun, where Didi Chuxing is located.

Entering the company 10 minutes before the meeting, Chen Xiu went to the restroom to change out of her casual clothes and put on the formal attire she had left at the company before heading to the meeting room.

After changing her clothes, Chen Xiu went to the meeting room door, knocked politely, and then pushed the door open and went in.

"Xiuer, you're here!"

"Hmm, I'm not late, am I?"

"No, no, the timing is perfect."

After greeting Cheng Wei, Chen Xiu sat down in the first seat on his left.

Looking to the left, those attending the meeting also included the company's COO (Chief Operating Officer) and CFO (Chief Financial Officer) Su Xiao, as well as shareholder representatives from Tencent and other investors.

The first seat to Cheng Wei's right was occupied by Zhang Bo, the head of the company's product department. Further to the right were two unfamiliar faces.

"Is this what they call a big move?"

Chen Xiu pondered to himself, but his face remained noncommittal.

When Cheng Wei saw that Chen Xiu did not ask why the two people were attending the meeting, his expression immediately became serious. Then he noticed that the clock on the wall had reached 9 o'clock!

"OK, let's move on to the company's third quarter summary meeting!"
