21 -Â The married life of newlyweds.
Most of the three dishes and one soup for dinner were cooked by Cheng Dingbo, with Cheng Li helping out.
However, Cheng Li carefully looked at the cooking steps.
But Cheng Dingbo was a little surprised and asked: "I don't see you wanting to learn to cook usually. What's wrong today?"
"How hard it is for you to cook all day long. I learned how to do it, so I can give you some tips." Cheng Li Said deliberately.
Cheng Dingbo's face was full of relief: "You are so busy at work, let's forget it."
In a family of three, Ling Shuanghua reached retirement age two years ago. Although the school intends to re-employ her, Ms. Ling feels that she has worked hard all her life and does not want to continue working.
Although Cheng Dingbo has not retired yet, he is considered an old comrade in his workplace.
Not that busy either.
Therefore, it is Cheng Li who works in a start-up company and has profoundly implemented Ms. Ling's evaluation of "waking up earlier than a chicken and going to bed later than a dog".
After eating, Cheng Li went back to the room.
After washing, she lay on the bed and watched cooking videos.
After looking at it, she sent a WeChat message to Rong Qi: [Centimeter Kitchen is officially open for business. Sir, what would you like to eat? ]
After a while, the phone vibrated.
Rong Qi: [What's on the menu? ]
Cheng Li's face suddenly fell.
It was only when there was nothing that she prepared to make up the class unexpectedly.
Cheng Li told the truth: "It's just that I don't have any, so I wanted to ask you what you want to eat." ã
Cheng Li: ãJust think of it as advance and give me the key points. ã
Rong Qi: ãWhat are the key points? ã
Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, and the eight major cuisines alone are dazzling.
Cheng Li also realized after cooking just now that she had to take the initiative to ask Rong Qi.
After all, she was cooking for Rong Qi to eat, so she had to choose what he liked first.
So Cheng Li wanted to ask in advance so that she could practice those dishes in advance.
Cheng Li really couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Because this will make her seem quite insincere.
But the reality is that you cannot ask a person who has just learned to walk to learn to run immediately.
Rong Qi: [Coke chicken wings, tomato scrambled eggs, Kung Pao chicken. ã
Cheng Li took a look at his menu.
I can't help but be touched, they are indeed simple and easy to cook home-cooked dishes.
So he really just wants to eat these?
But it soon dawned on her.
This food is not food, it is home cooking! !
Cheng Li: [Understood. ã
Cheng Li: ãPlease tell me when would you like to order? ã
Rong Qi: ãTomorrow. ã
Cheng Li thought about tomorrow's itinerary. Fortunately, they were all at the company.
If she works hard, she should be able to get off work on time at six o'clock.
Cheng Li: [Okay, you are welcome to visit Centimeter Kitchen at any time. ã
When Rong Qi stopped replying, Cheng Li continued to search for videos about these topics on the Internet.
But soon, she reopened their chat history.
Watched it from the beginning.
A belated sense of shame overwhelmed her.
When I was sending it out, I didn't know what was going on in my mind, so I just sent it out.
But now look, what the hell is this centimeter kitchenette? ?
Pretending to be cute?
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!
Was she suddenly possessed by something unknown just now?
How could a twenty-eight-year-old man still use such a childish tone?
In fact, she would say this when chatting with Meng Yuange.
But she was very close to Meng Yuange, and the only thing they were good at was wearing a pair of pants.
No matter how disgusting and disgusting the other party's tone is, they accept it calmly.
Cheng Li turned over suddenly and lay on her back on the bed.
She stared at the ceiling above her head, and the scene between the two of them gradually emerged in her mind.
When did she become willing to show her childish side to Rong Qi?
Suddenly, the phone vibrated twice more.
Cheng Li picked up the phone and put it in front of her eyes.
Rong Qi: [Centimeter Kitchen, is it only open to me? ã
For a moment, Cheng Li's heart was beating unsatisfactorily.
She tapped her fingers repeatedly on the screen.
The answer is so simple, yes or no.
But she couldn't make up her mind to reply.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated again.
Rong Qi: [I'm just asking casually. ã
Rong Qi: ãGood night. ã
Cheng Li sighed, she felt that she should be happy that she didn't have to answer such an ambiguous question.
But there was something inexplicably in her heart.
Being stuck there, unable to move up or down, she was a little out of breath.
Cheng Li: [I think you are a bit overbearing. What if I want to cook for my parents in the future? ã
Here is Rong Qi sitting on the sofa at home.
When I saw the latest reply on WeChat, the feeling of disappointment in my heart, although not completely gone, was still much less.
He clicked on the screen with his fingers, but in the end, nothing came out.
After talking to Dong Xin last night, both Ren Kuang and Cheng Li felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
At present, Jiangchi Automobile is the largest and most likely partner they can find.
As long as it can enter Jiangchi Auto's supplier list, Oceanwide's next round of financing will definitely be favored by the industry.
Because this means that Oceanwide is no longer just a technology company, they can also achieve product quantification.
"Qingqing, go and ask, when will the three-dimensional animation be given to me?" Cheng Li asked Zuo Qingqing, the assistant at the workstation next to him.
The other party immediately responded: "Okay, I'll get it right away."
Cheng Li sat down and rubbed her temples.
She could clearly feel that since Yu Cheng left, everyone felt relaxed.
Or more accurately, a sense of awe is missing.
In the past, when Yu Cheng was here, Cheng Li was responsible for overseeing the progress of the project, while Yu Cheng was like the mountain above his head. As long as he was around, no one dared to openly slack off.
Perhaps it has something to do with his personality. He is a serious and aggressive boss.
It can be seen from what happened when Cheng Li met him at the conference that day.
Yu Cheng has never been an easy person to get along with.
But Cheng Li is not. She has a gentle and calm personality and rarely gets angry.
Even if the project encounters difficulties, she will lead everyone to work together and never point fingers at her subordinates.
Now her identity has changed.
Cheng Li could have moved directly into Yu Cheng's office, but in order to better communicate with everyone, Cheng Li kept her original workstation.
But all these measures did not make everyone feel her intentions.
On the contrary, there is a sense of laziness.
While Cheng Li was waiting for Zuo Qingqing's reply, she couldn't help but take out her phone.
Originally, I wanted to complain to Meng Yuange.
But when I opened WeChat, I saw Rong Qi's profile picture at the top.
After she sent that message last night, he never responded.
Cheng Li looked a little distracted.
Suddenly Meng Yuange sent her a WeChat message: [Bao, help. ã
Cheng Li: ãWhat's wrong? ]
Meng Yuange; [Do you think there is any way to get the contact information of those big shots?
Meng Yuange: [How about I squat in front of their company ? Or go to their house to block it? ]
Cheng Li: [...]
Cheng Li: [Then what you are waiting for is just a pair of silver bracelets from the police uncle. ]
Meng Yuange: [I am about to be sucked to death by this group of people around me. After today's regular meeting, I feel bad all over. Why is it so easy for people to make appointments for exclusive interviews? I only have a few key topics this year. And it's only the third quarter, and the editor-in-chief has already started telling us about this year's KPI completion. ã
Cheng Li: ãEnvy. ]
Meng Yuange: [What are you envious of? ã
Cheng Li: ãEveryone around you is so curly. ã
Cheng Li: ãI'm just cracking the whip and moving it. I want a three-dimensional animation, and it's been dragging on me for almost three days. ]
Meng Yuange: [...]
The misery of life is not the same.
However, Cheng Li felt that there was a way to help Meng Yuange's misery.
Cheng Li: [Who do you want to interview? ]
Meng Yuange: [No matter who it is, the portion is sufficient, the layout is sufficient, and it has some explosive points, I can do it all. ]
Seeing that she had reached such a point of being so hungry, Cheng Li pursed her lips slightly.
Cheng Li: [Is something like Rong Qi's enough? ]
Meng Yuange: [Is it enough? ? ]
Meng Yuange: [I order you to remove the word "?" immediately. ]
Meng Yuange: [Who are you insulting? ]
Meng Yuange: [If anyone can help me arrange an interview with Rong Qi, it would be my biological father. ã
Cheng Li: "..."
There is no need to set such a flag.
After talking to Meng Yuange, Cheng Li seemed to have found the courage.
Cheng Li: [I want to ask you something. ]
After a while, Rong Qi replied: [Welcome. ]
These two words made her feel relieved.
It seemed like he wasn't angry last night either.
Cheng Li: [What should you do if your subordinate keeps delaying work? ã
Suddenly Cheng Li felt that her question was not a good one.
But the next second, her cell phone rang.
It was Rong Qi who opened it.
Cheng Li stood up in shock and quickly found a quiet place to connect.
"Hello." Cheng Li spoke in a low voice.
Rong Qi said straight to the point: "The other party is just delaying the work, or is it for other reasons?"
Cheng Li did not expect that he could be so sharp.
She said sarcastically: "It should be the reason why I was just promoted to chief architect. When my former boss was here, they would never be so slack."
Suddenly, Cheng Li regretted that she shouldn't take such trivial matters. Little things annoy him.
"Then it's not just his problem. At this time, you should consider the management and communication issues of your team. You must know that the project progress should have a clear schedule. Have you asked them to strictly follow the schedule?"
Cheng Li Low said lowly: "We have a weekly schedule."
Seeing her silence, Rong Qi said without hesitation: "In the early days of starting a business, management can rely on dreams and futures. Such carrots allow employees to work hard spontaneously. But people are not machines, and passion alone cannot last long, so strict management and incentives should play their due role at this time, which is a necessary method in management."
Cheng Li thought about his words carefully. Listen and nod.
"I seem to understand. At this time, I should adopt the attitude of a manager instead of continuing to negotiate."
There was a low hum.
Cheng Li smiled: "Thank you, I have to trouble you for such a small matter."
Rong Qi said calmly: "No one is born to be able to manage, especially if you have just switched from a technical position to management, it is normal to be confused like this. ."
Cheng Li pursed her lips slightly, saying it was a lie in her heart that she wasn't moved.
Although I am happy to be promoted, the change in status is also a change in function.
She is no longer just the team leader, she controls the entire project team.
Suddenly, Cheng Li felt courage in her heart.
"I'm very happy," Rong Qi suddenly spoke across from him.
Cheng Li was stunned and asked stupidly: "Why?"
Rong Qi: "Because you are willing to ask me for help at this time."
Cheng Li laughed inexplicably and said: "I am also happy that you are willing to take the time to enlighten me . This lost lamb in the workplace."
"Lamb?"
Rong Qi seemed to be amused by her description.
Cheng Li suddenly thought of Meng Yuange. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the interview.
But I don't think it's good to just mention it on the phone.
So she suppressed her words and said softly: "Then I'll go to work first."
"Well, see you in the evening." Rong Qi said suddenly.
After Cheng Li was stunned for a moment, he responded: "See you in the evening."
When she came back, she saw Zuo Qingqing looking at her cautiously and whispering: "Xiaotian said that the animation company hasn't given it to him yet, so he probably still has it." We have to wait another two days."
Because their automatic parking system has not been officially put into trial yet, there is no video of the trial operation. If you want to continue discussing cooperation with Jiangchi Automobile, you have to show them actual things.
It is said that many companies are PPT war gods, relying on a PPT and good eloquence to get around the world.
Cheng Li doesn't want Oceanwide to become such a company.
But now a single three-dimensional animation has been delayed again and again.
Zuo Qingqing was also shocked when he looked at her face.
Everyone in the company knows that Cheng Li has a good temper and rarely gets angry.
Cheng Li turned around and saw Xiaotian turning his head to chat with a colleague beside him.
There was no sense of urgency.
So Cheng Li pressed her hands on the table and stood up suddenly.
She walked up to Oda and asked directly: "When did you last say you would give me the 3D animation?"
Oda was startled and murmured: "Tuesday."
"What day of the week is it now?" Cheng Li asked shamelessly. .
Everyone around them looked over, obviously confused about the situation.
"Thursday." Xiaotian's voice became weaker and weaker.
Cheng Li continued to ask: "Then when will you give it to me this time?"
Xiaotian looked up at her, his cheeks flushed with shame.
"When?" Cheng Li stared at each other word by word.
Xiaotian: "Two more days."
"Is it two days? Is it the exact time? Have you confirmed it with the other party?" Cheng Li continued to ask, without giving the other party any excuses.
Xiaotian was obviously confused by the question.
She simply asked the partner company without any urging, and what she got was a vague concept.
"This matter will be recorded in your performance appraisal this month," Cheng Li said without hesitation.
Xiaotian stood up immediately: "Mr. Cheng, I asked, it's the other party who keeps delaying."
Cheng Li looked at her straightly: "The task I gave you is to submit the 3D animation on Tuesday. What is your degree of completion? So? Just by asking, does it count as completing the work?"
Xiaotian was left speechless by the question.
"This is not the first time you have slacked off at work, but I hope it is the last time."
After saying that, Cheng Li turned and left, without giving her a chance to continue her defense.
This matter has caused quite a bit of discussion in the company.
So much so that in the tea room in the afternoon, Cheng Li was going to get a cup of coffee.
I heard two employees chatting.
"That Xiaotian is lazy not just once or twice. To be honest, I'm so annoyed by this kind of person, who delays everyone's progress."
"I'm most afraid of having such a person in the project team. After all, if she works slowly, she will inadvertently hurt us. Increase the workload. But I thought I would let her continue to mess around this time, but I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to be so rude. "
"That's right, we said before that Mr. Cheng has a bad temper and can't manage people well.
" Don't tell
me , what Mr. Cheng said today made me feel so happy. Although I didn't lose my temper, it made Xiaotian feel ashamed. There is no place for such a sneaky person to be lazy."
Hearing their quiet discussion, Cheng Li slowly left.
She stood in the corridor and looked out of the window.
The sun was setting in the west, and the red sunset dyed half of the sky red, but her mood was inexplicably happy.
At the company in the evening, as soon as Cheng Li received Rong Qi's WeChat message, she immediately went downstairs.
She originally wanted to go to the previous intersection.
But unexpectedly, I saw a silver Porsche with double flashers on the side of the road.
Through the windshield, Cheng Li saw a familiar figure in the driver's seat.
She ran over immediately, opened the door and got in the car, and asked in surprise, "Why did you drive here by yourself?"
"No?" Rong Qi asked back.
Cheng Li was about to say of course not, when she saw him leaning over.
Originally, there was a feeling of a confined space inside the car.
Not to mention, his body suddenly came closer and Cheng Li held her breath.
"Seat belt."
His voice was very calm, as if this was just a common thing.
Rong Qi stretched his hand and pulled the seat belt on the back of her chair. There was a scraping sound and the friction sound of the belt being pulled out seemed to rub against Cheng Li's heart.
After fastening his seat belt, Rong Qi regained control of the steering wheel.
Cheng Li was quite quiet along the way.
However, she remembered Xiaotian's incident and told him about the follow-up development.
He listened while driving, and time passed quickly.
When he arrived at the entrance of a high-end residential complex, the crossbar scanned his license plate and raised directly to let him through.
Only then did Cheng Li realize that they were not coming to the garden house.
"Where is this?" She thought she would be cooking at the bungalow today.
Rong Qi turned to look at her, but did not explain.
But Cheng Li quickly understood that this should be where he usually lived.
Grandma Xiang had told her before that Rong Qi did not live with the old couple.
The car drove all the way into the basement. When Cheng Li got out of the car, she looked at the dazzling luxury cars parked around her and was slightly speechless.
This is the legendary mansion garage.
There are often videos on the Internet where people go to the garages of top luxury homes and film what cars are parked in the garages.
Cheng Li didn't expect that she could actually see it with her own eyes.
When the two of them entered the elevator together, Rong Qi pressed the button.
"It's the 26th floor."
Cheng Li didn't know why he emphasized it, but nodded anyway.
After getting out of the elevator, you go straight to the entrance.
It's the kind of design where elevators enter the home.
The two of them changed their shoes and pushed the door open. When they entered, they saw an extremely wide and large horizontal hall. The overall furniture was mainly white, which was not the cold tone that Cheng Li thought.
On the contrary, it is very warm, with a warm tone everywhere.
Cheng Li looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows opposite, from which she could clearly see the Huangpu River.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the neon lights on both sides of the river have already lit up. The heart of the city is still so beautiful and gorgeous that it makes people intoxicated.
"Want to visit?" Rong Qi turned to look at her.
Cheng Li nodded.
It has to be said that this is Cheng Li's visit to a large flat-floor mansion. Whether it is the furniture or the design, it is the ultimate eye-catching feeling.
After the visit, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows again and praised her very much: "Your home is really everyone's dream house." It
is a place that can only be owned in dreams.
"What do you think needs to be changed?" Rong Qi asked.
Cheng Li blinked: "It's perfect."
Rong Qi said calmly: "As long as you like it."
Does she like it?
Cheng Li was stunned for a moment.
"When you move here later, you can change anything you don't like."
Rong Qi said directly without giving her a chance to avoid it.
Cheng Li was dumbfounded this time. She said a little dryly: "You mean... living together?"
This was completely beyond her expectation.
Rong Qi stared at her with his dark eyes and suddenly smiled.
"I prefer to call it, the married life of newlyweds."
The author has something to say:
Rong Gou: What kind of cohabitation? I am a certified person.
Cheng Li: Tell me, how long have you been plotting! ! !
