20 -Â Boil the mother-in-law in warm water
No wonder Rong Qi was so hesitant to speak. Maybe he felt it was difficult to respond to him.
Imagine that his wife, who had just had a flash marriage, suddenly told him that she liked him, and no one would know how to respond.
Cheng Li bit her lip and decided not to ask further.
Smart people should know when enough is enough.
But when she got up to wash up, she was brushing her teeth and looked up at herself in the mirror.
Suddenly he bit his toothbrush and stretched out his hand to rub his cheek.
Full of regret.
Drinking makes things worse!
What a mistake! !
After packing up, Cheng Li went to the company.
The driver called during the trip and came over to ask if he needed to pick her up.
Cheng Li told him that she had already taken a taxi to the company.
After she arrived at the company, Ren Kuang asked her to go to the office.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, I'm late today." Cheng Li apologized.
Ren Kuang: "I'm sorry. I just came here. I'm old and I really can't drink this wine. How are you? I drank a lot yesterday. Are you okay?"
Cheng Li: "Fortunately, I'm awake now. " , There is no problem with work."
Ren Kuang laughed: "Okay, okay, although I am barely a capitalist, I am not Huang Shiren. You were socializing last night for the company. If you feel really uncomfortable, you can go back and rest in the afternoon.
" It's okay." Cheng Li shook his head.
At this moment, Ren Kuang's face was obviously hesitant to speak.
After a long while, he asked in a low voice: "Cheng Li, when did you get married?"
This thing is really weird.
When Cheng Li broke up with Xu Jiheng, he knew it, and it must have been more than a month.
Xu Jiheng broke up because of cheating, and he had already found a new partner.
Where did this husband Cheng Li come from?
The key is that her mysterious husband looks very powerful. After all, he has a Maybach and a driver, so he must be worth a lot of money.
"Senior, can you keep this matter a secret for me?" Cheng Li smiled.
She did remember what happened at the door of the club.
When the driver came over, Xu Jiheng was also there, looking like he was going to help her out and said he would take her home.
That's why Cheng Li said that my husband was too worried and asked someone to pick me up, that kind of high-profile show off.
After all, as long as she can piss off the scumbag, she doesn't mind being more high-profile.
He cheated on her, fawned over the rich, and ended up just driving a Mercedes.
She is a woman who is picked up and dropped off by a Maybach.
Just thinking about this scene, Cheng Li still feels happy even now.
Ren Kuang was shocked again when he saw that she didn't deny it.
Really married.
"What does your husband do?" Ren Kuang asked curiously. Cheng Li
pursed her lips. Of course she didn't dare to talk about Rong Qi directly. She just smiled awkwardly and said, "He is quite low-key. Even if he mentioned his name, you might not know him."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk more, Ren Kuang nodded.
"Where are the other two," Cheng Li asked in a low voice.
Ren Kuang: "Don't worry. As soon as you left last night, I told Xiaolin and the others that they would not spread this matter in the company."
Although the flash marriage was Cheng Li's personal choice.
But considering that her previous relationship had just broken up, people within the company were inevitably talking about it.
Besides, Cheng Li had just been promoted, so Ren Kuang still didn't want everyone to spread too much gossip in the company, and he still had to put work first.
Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder she said that no one looked at her strangely when she came to work today.
Daqing is news, and it has been strangled in the cradle by Ren Kuang.
After leaving Ren Kuang's office, Cheng Li happened to pass by Han Xiaolin's desk outside.
She walked over and whispered: "Xiaolin, thank you."
Han Xiaolin knew what she was thanking for, so she also whispered: "I should, don't worry, I am Mr. Ren's assistant. I know what to say and what not to say." "
Cheng Li smiled slightly and said, "I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"But I had a great time watching it last night." Han Xiaolin couldn't help but gossip. After all, such exciting things can only be kept in her heart. It's so uncomfortable.
She looked around and continued: "You don't even know how ridiculous Xu Jiheng was after you left. He kept asking us if your marriage was true. Don't even think about it. You both broke up. He can't care. Just let him go."
"Besides, if you allow him to find a rich woman, you can't marry a rich man? You are so beautiful, have a good education, and have a good personality, so you can help the poor by finding him
. After this mouth replacement, she seemed to have found another mouth replacement.
Han Xiaolin simply complained about everything she wanted to say.
She gave Han Xiaolin a thumbs up: "It seems that this meal cannot be without you."
"It is necessary, and I won't be polite to you." Han Xiaolin laughed.
Before, Cheng Li and Han Xiaolin were just acquaintances at most.
But after this time, the relationship between the two has indeed become much closer.
After getting drunk that night, Cheng Li had been quite quiet and didn't dare to harass Rong Qi.
She felt that she should give the two of them some space, so that when Rong Qi came back from his business trip, they might be able to forget about this incident.
Within two days, Ren Kuang took her to the car mall for research.
"Has the car manufacturer agreed to cooperate with us?" Cheng Li was a little surprised.
It seems that this drink is quite worth it.
Ren Kuang shook his head: "Not yet, but I think there is hope this time. It is said that they will launch a new energy tram next year. Generally, this kind of tram has the highest requirements for intelligence."
"And Dong Xin's attitude is also It's changed. He was indifferent to us before, but this time he actually invited us to visit and investigate. I think this is reliable."
Seeing his unabashed joy, Cheng Li couldn't help but be happy.
At present, new energy vehicles are in full swing in the market around the world.
All OEMs in the world are rushing to enter this track.
If Oceanwide can catch up with OEMs, not to mention first-tier suppliers, even second-tier suppliers, it will be a huge progress for Oceanwide as a whole.
After all, Oceanwide currently only has technology but no assets.
However, these car manufacturers are all in the suburbs, and it took the group an hour and a half of driving to reach their destination.
This time it was still the same people who had dinner last time.
"Mr. Ren, welcome to visit," the person in charge of the car dealer, surnamed Dong, warmly greeted them as soon as he saw them.
Ren Kuang smiled and said: "It should be our honor to visit your factory."
Although this was not Cheng Li's first visit to the car factory, she wanted to cooperate with the other party, so she paid special attention when visiting.
Until the visit was over, Dong Xin took them to the reception room.
"Mr. Ren, in fact, I have carefully considered the cooperation you mentioned before, but you also know that our OEM has its own supplier system. Developing new suppliers is a particularly troublesome matter."
Trouble, But it's not impossible.
Ren Kuang and Cheng Li both heard this meaning. Although they were happy, they did not show it immediately.
Ren Kuang said: "Mr. Dong, with the current era of automobile intelligence, the previous supplier model has actually fallen behind. In the past, suppliers would hand over developed products to your OEM, but now we can do it. You also participated in the development process of our autonomous driving software, professionally customizing it to enhance your differentiated competitiveness."
"Are you willing to jointly develop with us?" Dong Xin was a little surprised.
After all, for a company like Oceanwide, core algorithms are its greatest competitiveness.
Although the car factory has money, the research and development time is too long. It is impossible for the car factory to develop and conquer every technology, so the time cost and economic cost are too high.
Even Cheng Li didn't expect that Ren Kuang would have such courage to risk everything.
Because of Ren Kuang's open attitude, the entire meeting went particularly smoothly.
After the meeting ended, Ren Kuang went to the bathroom.
Dong Xin looked at Cheng Li, smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Cheng, you graduated from J University, right?"
"Yes, I graduated from J University." Cheng Li said with a smile.
Dong Xin chuckled: "I am a graduate of J University's MBA program. Speaking of which, we are brothers and sisters."
"Then I'm not welcome, brother," Cheng Li shouted in a very cooperative tone.
Dong Xin's proactive gesture made Cheng Li feel a little strange.
This visit to the car factory was also his initiative.
The most important thing is that Dong Xin changed from the affectionate attitude he used to persuade Cheng Li to drink at the banquet that day, and became more polite and awe-inspiring.
At this time, Dong Xin suddenly came closer and whispered: "Junior sister, you are so low-key. With your status, you can still stay in a small start-up company like Oceanwide, which really makes me admire you. "
Low profile? ?
Cheng Li was stunned and a little confused.
Until Dong Xin said: "The car and driver that picked you up that day happened to meet me when my senior brother attended a meeting before. Those are the car and driver of Mr. Rong of Qiyu Technology." At
this moment, Cheng Li was struck by thunder. General.
It's like the deepest secret hidden in the heart is suddenly exposed to the sun nakedly.
But after a while, Cheng Li felt funny again.
The marriage between her and Rong Qi was fully planned, and only three people knew about it.
Except for the two of them, it was the driver who took them to the Civil Affairs Bureau that day.
Unexpectedly, the fourth person turned out to be someone who had nothing to do with them.
At this time, Cheng Li also understood why Dong Xin had such a condescending attitude at the wine table before, but today he seemed to be a completely different person.
It turns out it's not because the other party is optimistic about Oceanwide's technology.
Instead, she focused on the big Buddha behind her.
It's a pity that he was disappointed. Cheng Li had nothing to do with Rong Qi's work.
Cheng Li was about to explain, but then she thought about it. It was a fact that she and Rong Qi were married.
Now Oceanwide has reached the most critical moment. If they can get contracts from first-tier OEMs, Oceanwide Financing will provide another source of capital.
During this period, Xu Jiheng pressed forward step by step, lowering Oceanwide's financing price again and again.
If it cannot obtain new financing, Oceanwide's capital chain may have problems.
Now, she didn't do anything bad, she just borrowed Rong Qi's name, right?
"Brother, I have to ask you to keep it a secret," Cheng Li said slowly, with an indifferent smile on his face: "Rong Qi has always been low-key and doesn't like his private life to be exposed. You should have heard this."
She said. Call out Rong Qi's name in a natural and intimate manner.
But when she said this, her heart was beating fast, as if she had done something bad.
Dong Xin had a smile on his face: "I understand, I understand."
Ren Kuang came back just in time. Seeing Dong Xin smiling so happily, he asked, "What are you talking about? We are so close to each other."
"Mr. Cheng is amazing. Although he is young, But he is really insightful about the future of autonomous driving. I think Mr. Ren is really lucky to have a right-hand man like Mr. Cheng."
Ren Kuang laughed cooperatively.
The visit to the depot was over and it was almost dark, so Ren Kuang asked the driver to send them all back directly.
Cheng Li sat in the car, looked at her phone, and opened WeChat repeatedly.
Since going on a business trip, Rong Qi has never returned to Shanghai.
Cheng Li also visited Grandma Xiang once, and the doctor said that Grandma Xiang was recovering well.
Although Grandpa Rong is at home alone, he is accompanied by a nanny. The driver will take him to the hospital every day to accompany Grandma Xiang.
Everything was fine except he wasn't there.
When the car passed by the garden house, Cheng Li asked the driver to stop.
As she walked by, she glanced at the quiet little villa inside.
I really can't help it.
She turned on her phone: [When will you return to Shanghai? Grandma Xiang keeps asking you, saying she misses you. ]
As a result, there was no reply from the other party.
Cheng Li could only go home first. When she arrived at the door, she just unlocked the door and pushed the door open.
I heard Ms. Ling's polite but contrived smile, "Oh, I've long said that Rong Qi is destined to be more successful than others. Just look and see."
Rong Qi?
Cheng Li thought she was hallucinating.
"Cheng Li is back," Ms. Ling said with a smile after hearing the noise: "Come and see who is here."
Cheng Li looked at the man sitting on the sofa in the living room, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It's over.
Could it be that the secret was revealed?
At this moment, Rong Qi was sitting on the sofa in her home with a gentle smile. The light from the chandelier falling from the top of the living room seemed to have been filtered, making Rong Qi's features look even more handsome.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Li's face turned pale at this moment.
Ms. Ling immediately became unhappy: "What are you talking about, you child? Rong Qi came here specifically to thank you."
"I told my aunt that my grandma had a heart attack before, and it was you who helped call the police in time and stayed with you in the hospital. All night. In fact, I have always wanted to come to say thank you, but I was too busy with work and never had the chance."
Rong Qi's attitude was sincere and sincere, which made Cheng Li feel as if he really just came to thank you.
Ling Shuanghua said with some embarrassment: "She didn't come back all night before, and she was scolded by me. It turned out that she was with grandma Xiang in the hospital. You said this, and we didn't know. Otherwise, we would have gone to see her a long time ago. , after all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors."
Distant relatives? ?
Cheng Li muttered in her heart, Ms. Ling, I'm afraid you don't know that the person sitting in front of you is your son-in-law.
But she didn't dare to say this.
Rong Qi: "Indeed, I was on a business trip recently, and Cheng Li helped me visit my grandma. I have always been grateful."
Ling Shuanghua was told what he said and said quickly: "It should be, it should be."
"My grandma has always said that Cheng Li was full of praise, saying that Cheng Li's character and character must be attributed to Teacher Ling, who has always taught her well, saying that you are worthy of being an educator," Rong Qi said with a smile.
"Oh, no way," Teacher Ling smiled so happily that Cheng Li had never seen her smile before.
This time, Cheng Li was really convinced.
She really didn't expect that Rong Qi was so well versed in the art of speaking.
Not only did he praise Cheng Li, but he also praised Ms. Ling's status as an educator.
You know, what Ms. Ling is most proud of is her identity as a teacher.
In just a few words, Ms. Ling was very excited about the conversation.
Ms. Ling glanced at Cheng Li, the smile on her face seemed to be blooming and she couldn't hold it back: "Actually, I used to be very busy at work, and Cheng Li mainly relied on her own self-consciousness."
Cheng Li almost couldn't hold it back. I couldn't help but laugh.
This was the first time she had seen Ms. Ling so unwilling to take credit.
After chatting for a while, Rong Qi expressed that he wanted to leave.
Ms. Ling pointed to the things he brought and said, "We can't have these things. Take them back quickly."
Only then did Cheng Li notice that there were a lot of things on the ground and on the table.
"Are you going on a business trip or buying goods?" she muttered in shock.
Rong Qi tilted his head slightly and caught her sight.
Only then did Cheng Li realize that what she was thinking seemed to have been spoken out.
"There's nothing valuable here. It's just some feelings I expressed on behalf of my grandma. If you don't accept it, grandma will hardly be able to live in the hospital."
Seeing that he had moved grandma Xiang out, Ling Shuanghua made a move to Cheng Li. Eyes: "Rong Qi, this is for you."
Ms. Ling wanted Cheng Li to refuse it herself.
"Thank you," Cheng Li didn't want to be so quarrelsome with him, so she thanked him directly.
Ling Shuanghua: "..."
In desperation, Ms. Ling could only persuade Rong Qi to finish eating, but Rong Qi said warmly: "Grandpa is alone at home today, so I have to go home to be with him."
"That's right, your grandma is in the hospital, and grandpa There is only one person."
Ms. Ling did not hold back.
Cheng Li: "I'll send him downstairs."
Ms. Ling was quite supportive of this and watched them leave with a smile.
The two of them didn't speak in the elevator. It wasn't until they got downstairs that Cheng Li breathed a deep sigh of relief. She looked at Rong Qi and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly and didn't say anything to me?"
Rong Qi pulled his lips . , chuckled and said: "I will report it to you next time."
Huh?
Cheng Li found that he had misunderstood what she meant.
But looking at the way he smiled, I felt that this man might have misunderstood on purpose because he had a lot of criminal records.
Cheng Li whispered, "I'm quite unprepared for your sudden arrival at home."
"Cheng Li."
He called her name softly in his usual familiar tone again.
"How long do you think we should keep our marriage a secret?" Rong Qi stared at her.
His eyes left her with nowhere to hide.
yes.
How long can such a thing be kept hidden?
And the longer this kind of thing is kept secret, the harder it will be to end in the end.
"I think if we appear in front of each other's elders, will it help them accept this later?"
Cheng Li somewhat understood what he meant, nodded and said: "I understand, boiling frogs in warm water."
Each other went to each other's elders. Just get a good impression.
This is true, she said.
Hearing this, Rong Qi seemed to find it a little funny. He slightly curved the corners of his mouth and said slowly, "How can it be a frog?"
Cheng Li raised his head.
"At most," Rong Qiwei drawled, unhurriedly: "Boil mother-in-law in warm water." Father-in-
law, mother, mother.
These three words successfully calmed Cheng Li down.
A few seconds later, a blush spread across her cheeks.
He shouted quite smoothly.
"Okay, you go up first." Rong Qi said.
Cheng Li glanced at him guiltily, thought again, and decided to tell the truth: "Actually, I did something I'm sorry for you today."
"I'm sorry?" Rong Qi raised his eyebrows, seeming very interested.
Cheng Li told Dong Xin about recognizing his car and driver, and how she didn't hide it and deliberately said that. After saying that, she whispered: "This time I'm using your name to bluff people." "It's my fault."
"Bluffing?" Rong Qi suddenly interrupted her and said softly, "Are we not married?"
Cheng Li blinked: "Huh?"
She was confused by his question.
Rong Qi lowered his eyes slightly. Because of the close distance, Cheng Li could see his thick eyelashes, which were densely covered. No wonder she always felt that his eyes were very deep.
"Since we are already married, you are not bluffing, at most you are telling the truth."
Seeing Rong Qi's casual attitude, Cheng Li's guilty conscience finally subsided a little, and she whispered: "Thank you."
Rong Qi. Qi chuckled, but then he thought again and said slowly: "But that's right, I can't just use my name."
This man...
Cheng Li looked at him in shock. The person in front of him changed the subject of the conversation in the blink of an eye. .
"Then what do you want?" Cheng Li felt that she should indeed express it to some extent, and that she had indeed taken advantage of others.
Rong Qi asked directly: "Can you cook?"
Cheng Li was a little dumbfounded and said truthfully: "A little bit."
"I've been on a business trip for a long time, and all I eat all day long is either hotels or takeaways," Rong Qi said. Wei Wei came closer and looked at her: "You know home-cooked food, I miss it very much."
Cheng Li understood.
Is this what troubles rich people have?
But I couldn't help but sympathize with him. He was running around all day long and couldn't even get what he wanted to eat.
"Okay, keep it on me." Cheng Li almost slapped her chest.
She asked, "Whenever you want to eat, just tell me."
But Cheng Li happily agreed.
But she thought with some guilt in her heart that she should give her some time. She had to go back first and learn from Lao Cheng's craftsmanship.
After she went upstairs again, Cheng Dingbo came back not long after.
Ms. Ling bought the vegetables early, washed them, cut them, and waited for him to come back and fry them.
Cheng Dingbo changed into slippers and started to wear an apron.
Cheng Li: "Dad, how about I come today."
"You cook?" Cheng Dingbo was surprised, thinking that the sun was coming out from the west today.
But Cheng Li felt that sharpening one's guns in battle would only be a waste of unhappiness.
The father and daughter have been tinkering in the kitchen for a long time. Fortunately, Cheng Li is not the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between grains and grains. She still has some cooking skills.
When Ms. Ling saw her father and daughter busy at work, she simply came over and chatted with them.
It's time to talk about what happened when Rong Qi came to the house just now.
Cheng Dingbo said: "Is this Rong Qi the billionaire high school classmate of Cheng Li?"
Cheng Li: "..."
The positioning is really accurate.
At this moment, Ms. Ling could not praise her enough. Whether it was a successful career or good looks, the most important thing was that even though she was in a high position, she still respected her teachers and never forgot her roots.
Cheng Li suddenly said, "Mom, what do you think of him being your son-in-law?"
Bang.
The spatula in Cheng Dingbo's hand fell to the ground.
Ms. Ling, who was standing at the door of the kitchen, glanced at Cheng Li and said, "You are really brave enough to think."
Then she slowly made another stab.
"I never dared to dream of something so big."
Cheng Li: "..."
The author has something to say:
Rong Mou: Mother-in-law, you don't have to dream.
