18 -Â You are worthy of it.
When the two left the hospital, Grandma Xiang not only looked in a good mood, but also looked much better than when they first arrived.
Even the nurse who accompanied her felt it was particularly magical.
I thought Grandma Xiang was so happy simply because her grandson came to see her.
Walking outside, Cheng Li remained silent.
Rong Qi turned his head slightly, glanced at her, and said coldly, "You don't mind, do you?"
"Ah?" Cheng Li looked at him subconsciously, and asked belatedly, "What do you mind?"
"I Well, I just wanted to make grandma happy, so I made up such a blind date. "
It turned out to be this.
Cheng Li nodded immediately: "Of course I can understand. In fact, being so happy about Grandma Xiang is also beneficial to her physical recovery. Didn't the nurse tell us just now that she looks much better in the afternoon."
Her attitude was calm and magnanimous.
On the contrary, Rong Qi beside him did not speak for a long time.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Li took the initiative and said, "Actually, you didn't make it up temporarily, right?"
Rong Qi tilted his head and stared at her.
Cheng Li raised her head slightly and straightened her chest, and said matter-of-factly: "The more you hear it, the more it sounds like me."
In fact, she quite understood Rong Qi.
This can be considered as an early vaccination for Grandma Xiang.
Otherwise, the old man's heart would not be able to bear the news of their marriage.
After all, Cheng Li didn't know whether Grandma Xiang was more surprised or frightened.
"Mrs. Rong."
Rong Qi's voice sounded slightly careless.
Although Cheng Li has gradually gotten used to it, he suddenly called his name.
But at this moment, when he shouted these three words.
Cheng Li's heart was beating for no reason.
She tried her best to restrain the change in her expression and looked at him pretending to be indifferent.
Rong Qi's eyes were dark and his smile was light: "You should have learned a rhetorical technique."
"What kind?" Cheng Li asked humbly.
"Exaggeration."
"..."
Cheng Li was quite patient and listened to what he said.
But when I heard him say this, I suddenly felt a little desire to fight.
She raised her chin slightly: "Tell me, are you exaggerating? You are tall, well-educated, good-tempered, and beautiful..."
Cheng Li's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
It is a fact that he is tall, well-educated, and has a good temper.
As for beauty, it depends on different people.
After all, even dazzling female celebrities cannot make everyone feel beautiful.
Even if she is indeed good-looking, what if someone is blind.
Cheng Li looked at Rong Qi with some sympathy and asked deliberately: "Is it possible that I am not beautiful in your eyes?"
Rong Qi said nothing.
The two of them had already walked downstairs, and Cheng Li shook his head deliberately.
"Isn't it beautiful enough? It can't be."
Finally, Rong Qi raised his eyelashes as if helpless and whispered: "Beautiful."
Cheng Li was a little dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude and snorted slightly: "The tone is not sincere enough."
Originally . She just said this while walking forward, but the next second, her wrist was gently pulled.
Cheng Li was forced to stand where she was. When Rong Qi gently put his hands on her shoulders, she was still stunned.
Until Rong Qi's cheeks drooped slightly, his dark eyes stared straight at her, and he said word by word: "Exceptionally beautiful."
Special, special, pretty, pretty.
These four words came out of his mouth and fell on her heart one by one.
When he let go of Cheng Li, he put his hands back into his pockets, raised his chin slightly, and asked calmly: "Are you sincere enough this time?"
Cheng Li remembered the way he looked at her just now.
Under the dark pupils, there seemed to be lava that was about to explode.
Cheng Li looked away in panic.
Rong Qi then let go of her and walked forward slowly.
Cheng Li couldn't help but let out a breath, and realized belatedly that she seemed to be used to Rong Qi's way of speaking.
Sometimes, you can even choose your own way to fight back.
The two of them are no longer as distant and unfamiliar as they were at the beginning.
This can be considered a good start.
Even if they are a plastic couple, they have to manage their relationship well.
In the early morning, Cheng Li took out the clothes she bought before from the cabinet and put them on.
There is a big bow on the white shirt, which is formal yet a bit sweet.
Originally, every morning, Cheng Li would just put on some isolation and simple makeup before going to work. But today she woke up half an hour early, and her porcelain-white cheeks became smoother under the delicate makeup.
Looking in the mirror, it looked like there was a faint soft gel halo on her cheeks.
The whole person has a delicate and glowing feeling.
Afterwards, Cheng Li curled her hair and let it hang on her shoulders.
After tidying up, she looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.
Today is the day she was promoted to the company's chief architect, and at the age of twenty-eight, she became an executive of a startup company. For Cheng Li, it is also a huge milestone.
As soon as she left the room, she saw her parents in the living room.
Cheng Dingbo: "I was just going to call you for breakfast."
Ms. Ling brought out the porridge and looked at Cheng Li, "This is the right outfit."
"Pretty is what I mean," Cheng Dingbo smiled and asked Cheng Li to sit down. Next, "Why don't you praise her?"
Because Cheng Li got up early, she had a leisurely breakfast at home today.
When she went out, she saw a car parked opposite as soon as she left the gate of the community.
The driver kept staring at the door, and when he saw her, he immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Li was a little surprised.
The driver smiled and said, "Mr. Rong has a flight today and is sent to the airport by a commercial vehicle sent by the company. He specifically asked me to come and take you to work in the morning."
"He is on a business trip?" Cheng Li was a little surprised.
But then, she thought that the relationship between the two had not yet reached the point where Rong Qi had to report everything.
But the driver obviously misunderstood. He explained: "It must be a temporary business trip. After all, when Mr. Rong is in Shanghai, no matter where he goes, I will pick him up and drop him off. Last night, I didn't receive a call from him to go on a business trip." "Notification."
Cheng Li nodded: "It seems that he has been very busy."
"That's not true. For a company as big as Qiyu, he has to deal with many things. In fact, during this period, he stayed in Shanghai for a long time. Once before, he went on a business trip for a month and never came back. Hearing this, Cheng Li
smiled and said, "Isn't your job very easy?"
Just get paid and don't work.
"It's a bit leisurely, so I feel a little guilty about getting paid for my work. When Mr. Rong is away, I will go to the company to help. The company is so big, and there are many places to use cars."
Cheng Li asked: "He is on a business trip this time " Where are you going?"
"Well, I don't know. Mr. Rong just sent a message and asked me to pick you up."
Just at the traffic light, the driver carefully looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Mr. Rong sent me a message." It was very early, it was only five o'clock. I guess he didn't tell you because he was afraid of disturbing your morning rest. "
Office workers have very little sleep time.
Some are far away from the company, and the commute time is more than an hour. Basically, I have to get up after 6 o'clock.
Five o'clock?
Cheng Li took out her cell phone. They said good night to each other last night at half past eleven.
In other words, he probably hadn't decided to go on a business trip at that time.
I don't know where he was on a business trip or if he got off the plane right now.
Cheng Li arrived at the company.
I took out my phone and found WeChat coming in.
It's just that her phone was kept in her bag just now, so she didn't notice it.
Rong Qi: [I came to Beijing on a business trip. ]
Rong Qi: [Temporary decision. ã
Cheng Li: ãDid you just get off the plane? ? ã
Rong Qi: ãIt was foggy in Beijing this morning, so we were delayed a bit. The plane just landed. ã
So as soon as the plane landed, he sent her a WeChat message to tell her about his itinerary.
Cheng Li covered her mouth with her hands, but a smile crept onto her lips.
Cheng Li: [How many days will you be able to come back from your business trip? ã
Rong Qi:ã? ]
Cheng Li didn't quite understand what his question mark meant.
Didn't she just ask him about the time when he would return from his business trip? Could it be that this was some kind of business secret that couldn't be disclosed?
Rong Qi: [I took a flight at six in the morning. In fact, I only left Shanghai for three hours. ]
Cheng Li was choked by his words.
Even though she repeatedly wanted to ignore it, she still understood the hidden meaning of his words.
ââ"I've only been away from Shanghai for three hours, and you already miss me so much."
Cheng Li couldn't help but think deeply. She didn't think Rong Qi had such narcissistic tendencies when she was in high school.
Could it be that this is an occupational disease that only successful people have? ?
Cheng Li was not ready to reply to this sentence. She was about to turn off her phone and turn on her computer.
But unexpectedly, the phone vibrated again.
Rong Qi: [I hope everything goes well for you today. ã
Cheng Li looked at this message and suddenly thought of his promotion and transfer today.
She chuckled and replied again: [I hope everything goes well for you on your business trip. ã
This time, Rong Qi replied almost instantly.
[Then, return to Shanghai as soon as possible, right? ã
Cheng Li: "..."
It's half past nine in the morning.
Company meetings are held on time.
In addition to executive-level employees who were on business trips, other middle-level and above-level managers in the company entered the conference room.
Ren Kuang sat in the middle position, and Gao Zhihe sat on his left, with a slightly gloomy expression.
At the beginning, the progress of the project was discussed. Cheng Li, as the leader of the project team, spent twenty minutes talking about the current progress of the project and the technical difficulties faced.
When the meeting was about to end, Ren Kuang said: "I think everyone has noticed some personnel changes in the company. President Yu Chengyu officially resigned last week, and the position of the company's chief architect has been vacant until now."
Mingming Ren Before Kuang could say her name, Cheng Li's heart started beating fast.
Gao Zhihe, who was opposite, looked at her thoughtfully.
Cheng Li tried his best to control his expression and still maintained a calm attitude.
"For the further development of the company, I decided to appoint Cheng Li as the company's new chief architect."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of applause rang in the office.
Cheng Li slightly supported the edge of the table with her palms and stood up slowly. She first looked at Ren Kuang and whispered: "I am very grateful to Mr. Ren for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. I am also grateful to all my colleagues for their continued help. Here we are. In the new position, I will definitely maintain my current attitude and lead the project team to move forward."
Applause rang out again.
At the end of the meeting, Ren Kuang stopped Cheng Li and entered his office.
"Now you can work with peace of mind," Ren Kuang looked at Cheng Li and said with a smile.
Cheng Li smiled: "I have always been at ease at work."
Ren Kuang looked slightly serious and said: "Just in time, I have something to tell you. Regarding the mass production of our autonomous parking software, I have already contacted several companies. Automobile manufacturers, but our company is not very famous, and the other party is not very willing to cooperate. "
There is nothing we can do about it.
Cheng Li asked: "Then what's the problem now?"
"It just so happens that there is a person in charge of a car dealer who is willing to take the time to meet with us tomorrow night. After much thought, it is best for you to go with me."
Cheng Li was startled. : "Shall I go?"
She entered the company and rarely participated in such social activities.
After all, she holds a technical position and is not responsible for the company's external business issues.
"You didn't get involved before because you didn't have enough position. In fact, even though Yu Cheng is like that, he is a good drinker." Ren Kuang said helplessly: "Cheng Li, sometimes you have to admit that in Chinese shopping malls, you have to be in On the wine table."
Cheng Li nodded in agreement.
The next night, she received a call from the driver.
Because the driver dropped her off yesterday morning, he asked for her mobile phone number so that he could contact her easily.
Cheng Li said in a low voice: "I have a party today. I will go back very late, so you don't have to wait for me. After I finish, I can take a taxi."
When the driver heard about the party, he quickly said: "That's even worse. If you drink I'm drunk, where is the safety of taking a taxi?"
Cheng Li will leave with Ren Kuang later, which is really inconvenient.
The driver had no choice but to comply.
In the evening, Cheng Li followed Ren Kuang, his assistant Han Xiaolin, and marketing manager Liu Mingyi to a club called Mingqian.
This is Ren Kuangding's private room. The overall style is the Jiangnan garden style that middle-aged men like very much. Even the lights in the box are ancient hexagonal palace lanterns, and there is also a landscape screen, giving the overall atmosphere a shadowy feel.
"I didn't expect that Oceanwide's chief architect is not only young, but also so beautiful."
After Ren Kuang introduced Cheng Li to everyone, everyone laughed.
At the beginning of the banquet, everyone was still a little polite, talking about work, and their words sounded like they were scolding Fang Qiu in a shopping mall.
But after three drinks, the atmosphere became intense.
Some people were eager to give it a try and started to toast Cheng Li.
Although Liu Mingyi next to him helped to block it again, Cheng Li drank four or five glasses of liquor.
"Mr. Cheng, you are really beautiful and can drink well." Seeing that Cheng Li was not shy about drinking, the person in charge of the car dealer also raised his glass and said directly: "I feel really happy to meet you this time. Yes."
Ren Kuang saw the other party faintly relaxed and winked at Cheng Li.
Cheng Li had no choice but to raise his glass and touch it with the other party.
After drinking this time, Cheng Li really couldn't help it and found an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Ren Kuang's assistant Han Xiaolin quickly followed after seeing this.
Cheng Li arrived at the bathroom and entered the stall. After a while, Han Xiaolin came out and asked, "Mr. Cheng, do you want to vomit?"
"Can't vomit," Cheng Li shook her head.
At this moment, her face was flushed, reflecting her cheeks, which made her look even more bright and peach-like.
Han Xiaolin was almost stunned.
She and Ren Kuang were used to seeing this kind of scene, and she said angrily in a low voice: "These old men, when they see beautiful girls, are like bees seeing flowers, they can't wait to circle around them. They don't even look at themselves."
"It's just drinking," Cheng Li was mentally prepared before coming.
Han Xiaolin said: "Yes, as long as we show our attitude and clarify the bottom line, I don't think they dare to do anything."
Cheng Li put her palm under the faucet, rinsed it for a while, and squeezed some hand sanitizer from the sink, and kept repeating Fu rubbed her palms together. When she was drinking just now, someone took the opportunity to touch her palms.
She had drunk a lot and almost vomited the wine in her stomach.
Fortunately, as Han Xiaolin said, as long as you stick to your bottom line and don't give anyone a profitable opportunity.
After a while, the two packed up and walked out of the bathroom.
Unexpectedly, after taking just two steps, I actually saw a ghost.
Cheng Li looked up and saw Xu Jiheng coming towards him.
Han Xiaolin beside her was also surprised. She was also a witness at the previous dinner party.
"Lili," Xu Jiheng saw Cheng Li's sloppy steps and was about to step forward.
Cheng Li stretched out her hand to block him and frowned: "Mr. Xu, respect yourself."
Xu Jiheng was startled, and his expression seemed a little unbearable.
This expression would have disgusted Han Xiaolin next to her, if she hadn't seen with her own eyes the look of Xu Jiheng being affectionate with the mistress.
I'm afraid I really thought that the person in front of me was some kind of love saint.
Although she and Cheng Li were not good best friends, she couldn't bear to see a cheap man pretending to be affectionate.
However, Han Xiaolin still held back and said nothing. After all, Xu Jiheng's company currently cooperates with Oceanwide.
"Let's go." Cheng Li walked around him and prepared to leave.
Xu Jiheng stopped her and whispered, "Ren Kuang brought you here to socialize and let you drink so much?"
Cheng Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
Xu Jiheng turned to Han Xiaolin and said, "Can you please let me have a few words with her alone?"
Of course not.
Han Xiaolin rolled her eyes in her heart, but she did not dare to refuse directly. Instead, she looked at Cheng Li.
Cheng Liwei leaned against the wall and asked directly: "Tell me, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to say anything alone between the two of us, Mr. Xu."
She said indifferently to Mr. Xu , which frustrated Xu Jiheng endlessly.
Xu Jiheng did not give up and looked at Han Xiaolin.
Han Xiaolin was also a little helpless. She didn't dare to offend Xu Jiheng, but she didn't want to leave Cheng Li behind. It wasn't
until Cheng Li said: "Xiaolin, please go to the front and wait for me."
Han Xiaolin nodded and whispered: "If you need anything, just call me, I'll be in front."
As soon as they left, Xu Jiheng said immediately: "Li Li, I said that even if we break up, I don't want us to be enemies. I'm just worried about you. Besides, your position in the company is a technical position, not here to drink and socialize with you. If you want, I can. Let me talk to you so that you can stop participating in these social events in the future."
Cheng Li's half-drowned eyelids finally raised.
She was leaning on the wall next to her, but now she stood up straighter and looked at Xu Jiheng with cold eyes.
"Xu Jiheng, are you about to die of love for yourself? On one side you have a rich and powerful new love, and on the other side you have an ex-girlfriend you can't let go of. Do you still think what you are saying and what you are doing is particularly great? "
Xu Jiheng looked embarrassed: "Of course not." "
So why are you here to socialize? You think that women are destined to be your men's foils and entertainment tools, so you can. Are you so confident in telling me such nonsense? "
Cheng Li has always been gentle, but that doesn't mean she is weak.
She has always been tough and sober inside.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have decided to break up the moment I discovered Xu Jiheng.
Cheng Li looked at Xu Jiheng: "There is also my work, why do you interfere? Who do you think you are? Please figure out the situation now. You and I have nothing to do with each other."
"Don't show up in front of me in the future. , After all, a dead ex is the best ex."
After saying that, Cheng Li stopped giving him a chance to speak and walked over on her high heels.
After returning to the box, Cheng Li's expression remained calm.
Fortunately, in the second half, everyone else helped to hold back the drinks, so she didn't drink much more.
Until ten o'clock, it's almost over.
Cheng Li's phone suddenly vibrated.
It was Rong Qi who opened the phone. She excused herself to go out and answered the phone.
"Have you been drinking?" As soon as Cheng Li opened her mouth, Rong Qi could tell something was wrong.
Cheng Li: "I drank a little for the company's entertainment."
Rong Qi: "Just a little?"
Even though he was not standing in front of him at this time, Cheng Li seemed to be able to imagine that he was frowning now.
Cheng Li felt guilty.
"I'll ask the driver to pick you up," Rong Qi said directly, "Send me the address."
Cheng Li: "No need, I'll finish it right away and go home."
Rong Qi: "The address."
Cheng Li had no choice but to Share the location with him.
Fortunately, after half an hour, the entertainment was almost over.
The group of people walked to the door of the club and were waiting for the bus.
"Mr. Cheng, where do you live? How about I take you back on the way?" the person in charge of the car dealer said with a smile.
Ren Kuang said quickly: "It's okay, our company has commercial vehicles, I will deliver them later."
The person in charge of the car dealer: "Mr. Ren, I still want to be a flower protector, just give me this opportunity. "
While talking, a voice suddenly sounded: "Lili."
Cheng Li was stunned, turned around, and saw Xu Jiheng's disgusting face.
Ren Kuang also didn't expect that Xu Jiheng would be here.
Xu Jiheng walked directly to Cheng Li: "Sorry, I'll take her home."
He pointed to a Mercedes Benz parked next to her.
Apparently, this is his new car.
"Hey, this is..." The person in charge of the car dealer was a little surprised.
Xu Jiheng was about to speak when suddenly a Maybach slowly drove over and finally stopped at the entrance of the club.
Immediately afterwards, the driver got out of the driver's seat and walked straight over.
"Madam, are you okay?" The driver looked at Cheng Li, whose face was red, and asked worriedly.
Mrs?
What wife? ?
Whether it was Xu Jiheng or Ren Kuang and others, they were all too shocked to speak.
Especially Xu Jiheng, his mind was completely blank at this moment.
Cheng Li slowly turned her head to look at everyone and smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, my husband was too worried about me and asked someone to pick me up. I'll excuse you now."
Others who didn't know the situation were just sorry that she was so young. Actually got married.
As for Xu Jiheng, he looked like he didn't believe the news was true at all.
Cheng Li looked at his expression and suddenly felt so ridiculous.
Does this person think that she is still hurting and crying for him now?
So she spoke softly, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and said in a low voice: "You want to take me home."
She trailed off slightly, seeming a little naughty.
But the next second, she spoke coldly.
"You are worthy of it."
After saying this, Cheng Li got into the car and drove away under everyone's gaze.
The author has something to say:
Rong Qi: Although my people didn't show up to slap me in the face, my car arrived!
