44 -Â Because I have to hurry back to coax my wife.
Cheng Li lay in his arms, the tips of her ears turned red at this question.
"I didn't," she whispered.
Rong Qi hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her hair. His voice was low and gentle: "Grandma called me and told me that you came to stay with them for a long time and kept talking to her."
"This is all me. It should be done," Cheng Li felt a little embarrassed.
Rong Qi: "It's what I should do, but I always don't do it well enough."
Cheng Li raised his head slightly and looked seriously into his eyes: "No, you are so good. Although Teacher Ling was very angry with us at first. "I'm angry, but you didn't go to dinner today, so she was a little disappointed. If it weren't for your kindness, Teacher Ling wouldn't have surrendered so quickly."
In order to comfort Rong Qi, Cheng Li betrayed her mother without hesitation.
After hearing this, Rong Qi laughed muffledly, almost choking her out of breath.
Soon, there was some movement upstairs.
Cheng Li was startled and stretched out her hand to push him away. Unexpectedly, Rong Qi not only did not let go, but instead held her tighter. He lowered his head and looked at her: "I noticed something wrong with you." "
What?" Cheng Li didn't understand. .
Rong Qi twitched, but there was still a smile on his brows: "As soon as someone else appears, push me away."
"I didn't," Cheng Li tried to make excuses for herself.
Rong Qi lazily nodded his chin and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay."
Cheng Li didn't expect that he would let her go so easily, and her heart relaxed.
Just listen to his familiar drawling voice saying: "Then hold me tight."
Hold me tight.
Cheng Li reacted slowly, then realized what he meant. Sure enough, he was still the same man who always wanted to show off his jealousy.
Therefore, Cheng Li raised the corner of her mouth slightly and immediately reached out to hug him tighter.
It was already past eleven o'clock when the two returned home.
After taking a shower, it was time to go to bed again.
However, when Cheng Li came out of the bathroom and lay on her bed, she suddenly felt that the room was a little cold and empty. Even with such a pink bed, it no longer had the warm and plush feeling it had before.
Especially when Cheng Li got into bed, the cold quilt pressed against the soles of her feet that had just soaked in hot water.
She was frozen and stirred under the quilt.
While Cheng Li was shivering in bed, she heard the sound of her cell phone vibrating by the bedside.
She reached for her phone and took it over.
After unlocking it, I saw a WeChat message from Rong Qi.
Rong Qi: [[/Picture]]
She immediately opened the WeChat interface, clicked in, and saw that what he sent was a photo of his own bed.
Just as Cheng Li finished reading the photos, another WeChat message came in.
Rong Qi: [Is it big? ã
Probably because he used a wide angle when shooting, and his king-size bed looked particularly large from this angle. It's the feeling of a CEO waking up from his 200-square-meter bed.
Cheng Li chuckled and quickly replied: [Very big. ]
As soon as she finished sending it, Rong Qi's name changed, showing that he was replying.
Sure enough, the reply came back two seconds later.
This time he sent a voice message.
Rong Qi: "So don't you think this bed is a little empty?"
Empty?
Cheng Li slowly clicked on the photo and looked at it again.
He found that he had put the quilt on the bed somewhere, making the whole bed look particularly empty.
Before she could reply, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Cheng Li's heart skipped a beat.
When she realized something, she got up immediately, but when she walked to the door, and when she was about to reach out and hold the door handle, she took a deep breath to make her expression look calm and unruffled.
But when she really opened the door, she saw Rong Qi standing at the door with her arms in her arms.
He frowned slightly, as if with some helplessness: "The air conditioner in my room seems to be broken."
Cheng Li stood there, looked towards him, and met his dark eyes. She didn't dodge at all, looking magnanimous and calm. With a sincere look, she chuckled, nodded and said, "Ah, that's it."
She paused deliberately, and Rong Qi did not rush her.
Until Cheng Li slowly said again: "The air conditioner in my room is good. Otherwise, you can stay here for one night." As soon as
she finished speaking, Rong Qi stepped in and extended his hand unceremoniously. , hold the door for her and close it directly.
The two walked to the bed in front and back.
"Where do you usually sleep?" Rong Qi turned to look at her and asked.
Cheng Li: "I don't care."
"Then I'll sleep outside." Rong Qi spread her quilt inside and put his own outside.
Soon, the two were in bed again.
Although compared to the first time they slept together, there was no such uneasiness and tension, but after the relationship between the two became closer, other thoughts came to mind.
Cheng Li recalled last night, the scene where they were sitting on the sofa, rubbing their ears and temples together.
Breathing mingled, lips and teeth entangled.
Especially after turning off the lights, the room is completely dark.
Even his gentle breathing seemed particularly obvious.
"Do your feet get cold in winter?" Suddenly, Rong Qi beside him asked in a low voice.
Cheng Li didn't answer.
But the next second, Rong Qi felt a pair of feet slowly creeping in from the edge of the quilt. Until they touched the soles of his feet, her slightly naughty voice sounded next to her: "Is it cold?"
This was a question. his.
"It's okay," Rong Qi said calmly, not caring at all that her cold soles were resting on his feet.
Cheng Li has always been disliked by Ms. Ling and is naturally cold-hearted.
In winter, even if you go to bed after taking a bath, your feet will soon become cold.
But Cheng Li was lying down when she suddenly felt movement beside her. The man who was originally lying on her back turned sideways until a hand wrapped her whole body, including the quilt, and dragged her towards him. .
Cheng Li had not yet reacted when the tips of their noses collided.
When Rong Qi lowered his head and put his lips together, he did not kiss his lips accurately at first, but he was not in a hurry. He rubbed his forehead from the center of his eyebrows, all the way down the bridge of his nose, kissing her thinly and densely, and the temperature in the air quickly increased. It rises as if there is an automatic heat machine, heating the air until it is boiling.
The room was too dark and you couldn't see anything, which made you even more daring.
It seems that in such darkness, whatever you do is silently allowed.
For the first time, Cheng Li took the initiative to open the corners of her mouth and kiss the corners of his mouth.
Rong Qi seemed to be stimulated by her initiative and hummed in a low voice. The stimulation of this sound made Cheng Li's scalp numb, and it was a little too sexy and made her bones tremble.
And this voice seemed to be encouraging Cheng Li, making her act more boldly.
Not only did she put the soles of her feet into her bed, but she also crossed half of her legs. She was wearing pajamas with loose trousers that slid up when rubbed, and her delicate and smooth calves rubbed against his legs.
Suddenly, Rong Qi reached out and hugged her, panting softly and saying, "You don't want to go to work tomorrow, huh?"
Cheng Li was hugged by him and couldn't move under the quilt.
She smiled dullly: "What's the point of going to work?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Rong Qi didn't mean it, but just followed her words.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that there was some ambiguity in his words.
In the darkness, the two of them fell into silence.
I thought everyone would quietly skip this ambiguous sentence, but unexpectedly, after the silence, Rong Qi felt the quilt he was holding tightly move restlessly, and he felt something rubbing against his cheek. Down.
When he came back to his senses, he heard Cheng Li approaching his ear. His voice was obviously soft, but he said the two most dizzying words.
"You."
A bouquet of fireworks.
It was like an explosion in Rong Qi's mind, blowing up all his thoughts and annihilating them, leaving no trace behind.
Rong Qi was at a loss at this moment. Originally, because of the closeness between the two of them, he didn't have much room for thinking. But now that he was bombarded like this, he was actually silenced.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he was being teased?
By Cheng Li?
He was stunned for a moment, and then relaxed his hold on her.
As for Cheng Li, who had regained consciousness at this moment, she was even more shocked than him. She was not the kind of person who liked to tell dirty jokes, and she would not habitually talk about who she had slept with or who she had slept with. .
But just now, she felt as if she had been poisoned.
When the words came to my lips, they came out naturally.
When Cheng Li took her quilt and rolled to the other side of the bed, Rong Qi came back to his senses.
He reached out to reach her, but she took the quilt and hid further.
So he went this way, and she went the other way, until she was close to the edge of the bed and about to fall.
"Cheng Li." When he opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he had just done something, and he was so sexy.
Cheng Li suppressed the random thoughts in her head and said in a cold voice: "The person you called has been offline. If you have anything, please contact me tomorrow."
These words made Rong Qi stunned.
He really didn't expect that something like this would happen tonight.
Just following his steps, he hadn't considered this step yet, but just like playing flying chess, he was so lucky today and guessed the right square to fly forward.
It took him forward to jump into a place he didn't even think about.
But Cheng Li came to his senses and quickly scaled back his boldness.
Rong Qi ignored her struggle and hugged her again.
It's just across the quilt.
His lips found her ears, which were soft and soft, and he whispered: "If you move again, you will fall."
Well, Cheng Li did feel that she was about to fall.
She lay obediently in Rong Qi's arms.
Her cheeks were so hot that even if she didn't touch them with her hands, they would be scalding hot.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt that the person sleeping next to me finally fell asleep.
Rong Qi quietly got up and went back to his bathroom.
When he got to the bathroom, he looked down at the black pajamas he was wearing and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
Lifting a rock and hitting yourself in the foot.
That's how it feels.
Cheng Li feels that pretending to be dead is probably the greatest way for humans to express their emotions in this world.
That is, as long as she pretended not to remember, nothing happened.
The next morning, she got up as usual, looking so calm that I couldn't even remember what happened last night. Fortunately, Rong Qi maintained the same tacit understanding with her for the first time.
On the weekend, because Rong Qi was on a business trip, Cheng Li went home for two days.
I also learned how to make Youdun'er from Grandma Xiang.
Tuesday came and Rong Qi was coming back today. Cheng Li was in a good mood since going to work in the morning.
Until, she received a call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Cheng Licheng?" This is a mature and steady baritone.
Cheng Li responded: "It's me, who are you?"
The other party immediately said: "I am Wan Zichen, the investment director of Qiyu Technology, and I want to talk to you about the acquisition of Oceanwide Intelligence."
Cheng Li listened. I was so stunned that for a long time, there was no reply.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng," the other party shouted twice before calling Cheng Li back to her senses.
Cheng Li immediately said: "Sorry, I'm actually a little surprised."
Wan Zichen chuckled: "Actually, for us, we have always been paying close attention to some of the emerging companies in the current autonomous driving industry. Oceanwide's technology has always been It's obvious to all."
Obviously, the other party came with good intentions and recognized Oceanwide from the very beginning.
Cheng Li smiled: "Thank you for your appreciation. It's just a company acquisition. I don't have the decision-making power. I'm afraid you need to talk to our CEO Ren Kuangren."
Wan Zichen: "I have already contacted Mr. Ren . He said that he is in the hospital and is about to undergo an operation, so it is up to you to discuss the details of the acquisition with us. "
Cheng Li didn't say this either. She hadn't heard this from Ren Kuang.
It seemed like they were caught off guard.
She smiled and said in a low voice: "Oh, that's it. In fact, companies have been talking to us about cooperation recently, so I inevitably forgot about it."
Cheng Li's attitude was casual, not because the other party was Qiyu. Large companies appear to be frightened.
Wan Zichen naturally heard what she meant, but didn't care.
When it comes to negotiations, everyone has their own bargaining chips. No matter how anxious they are in private, they appear very calm on the outside.
"Are you free today? I would like to make an appointment with you to discuss the details of cooperation," Wan Zichen, on the other hand, was not in a hurry to let Cheng Li know his urgency and directly made an appointment.
Cheng Li thought for a moment and said softly: "Sorry, I have to check my schedule for today."
"Okay, you can check it first. When you are sure, you can give me a reply."
The two parties hung up the phone, and Cheng Li quickly called The call was given to Ren Kuang.
When Ren Kuang heard what she said, he remembered that the other party contacted him yesterday.
"I originally wanted to call you to tell you, but I forgot about it. I thought it would take a while for them to take action. Are they in such a hurry?" Ren Kuang was also a little surprised.
Cheng Li thought for a moment and said: "Probably because of Yi Xing's matter. There were rumors in the industry that Qiyu Technology was going to invest in Tianma, but it is estimated that the two companies did not reach an agreement and the cooperation fell apart. Later they prepared to acquire Yi Xing. As a result, when the final step was taken, the acquisition went awry again."
Ren Kuang nodded: "It is estimated that our Oceanwide was one of their alternatives from the beginning. It's just that since Yixing was available at that time, they didn't take a fancy to us. Now that the kind of scandal that Yixing Technology has broken out, they will definitely not be able to do it again. Let's talk about the acquisition instead. We've also encountered some problems here,"
Cheng Li said, "Director Wan asked me to talk in detail this afternoon. What do you think?"
"Let's go and talk," Ren said. Kuang originally wanted to sell the company. Now that such a large company is willing to acquire it, of course he agreed, but he said: "Although we are also having difficulties now, you should not make too many concessions on the acquisition amount."
Cheng Li He asked directly: "What is your bottom line?"
Ren Kuang did not cheat and said directly: "400 million, the purchase price of the entire company is 400 million."
This price is a full 60 million less than the previous financing valuation.
It can be seen that Ren Kuang has really figured it out and wants to take the money and leave as soon as possible to live a retired life.
He is the company's largest shareholder, and he basically has the final say on this matter. Besides, the acquisition is not a bad thing for Oceanwide. Only if they can rely on large companies like Shangqiyu with background and abundant funds can they improve their competitiveness in the market.
Cheng Li was not one to hesitate. Now that he had decided, he immediately called Liu Mingyi over.
He is the marketing director of the company. This matter can be hidden from others, but there is no need to hide it from him.
"Qiyu wants to acquire us?" Liu Mingyi was obviously happy.
Cheng Li said: "You were also involved in the negotiations on the company's previous financing projects, so you will come with me later."
"Okay."
Cheng Li quickly called Wan Zichen back and said that if he had free time in the afternoon, he could talk to He chats.
When making an appointment, Wan Zichen said with a smile: "How about we stay at our headquarters building in Qiyu, so that you can adapt to the company's office environment in advance."
Cheng Li was stunned again by this.
During the chat, she tried not to remind herself of Rong Qi.
But when she thought that she might have to work in the same company and the same building as Rong Qi in the future, she suddenly had a strange feeling.
Especially when the two of them were at the convenience store opposite his company building a few days ago.
Under that umbrella, a sudden kiss.
Cheng Li tried her best to hold back, so that the random thoughts in her mind would not become more boiling.
"Okay." Cheng Li agreed.
2 p.m.
Cheng Li showed up at the office building of Qiyu Technology on time.
In fact, before coming here, she casually searched the Internet for news about Qiyu Technology. The updated news on the Internet is that Qiyu Technology acquired a piece of land in Xuhui, Shanghai at a price of 4.5 billion two years ago and plans to build its own new headquarters.
Not only will a super-tall office building exceeding 150 meters be built, there will also be seven or eight single-family office buildings surrounding it.
It has become a trend for major Internet companies to spend money on land to build their headquarters, just like using fancy names.
Any company that can be called a big factory has a particularly powerful headquarters building.
At present, this new headquarters is about to be completed.
Perhaps in the near future, this building will no longer be Qiyu's headquarters in Shanghai.
"This whole building belongs to the entire Qiyu," Liu Mingyi entered the building and sighed in a low voice: "It's really rich."
After they registered, they went directly to the conference room on the 34th floor.
Wan Zichen was waiting for them at the elevator door in person.
A group of people entered the conference room and chatted about the acquisition. It was obvious that Qiyu was sincere in its acquisition this time. Especially in terms of price, Cheng Li originally thought that they would be severely suppressed because of Oceanwide's previous financing failure.
But unexpectedly, the price they gave was 420 million.
It is a full 20 million higher than Ren Kuang's lowest psychological price.
When Cheng Li looked at the price, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he continued to pull and didn't let go easily.
However, both parties had the goal of successful cooperation, and they had a good time talking until the end of the meeting.
After talking for a full two hours, the two sides ended the meeting.
Wan Zichen got up and sent them to the elevator.
Just when they arrived at the elevator, a group of people walked over from the corridor at the other end, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was particularly relaxed.
"Can our project team's vacation benefits this year be replaced by Bali?" a woman with a pleasant voice asked with a smile.
A voice that Cheng Li was very familiar with said: "Ask you Mr. Liu, I have no control over this matter."
The woman said again: "Mr. Liu listens to you."
The familiar voice chuckled: "Mr. Liu, you "What's your opinion?"
The group of people were obviously very familiar with each other. They probably had just finished the meeting, and they were looking relaxed as they walked over, chatting and laughing.
It wasn't until they walked to the elevator that they saw Wan Zichen and others.
Wan Zichen took the initiative to say hello: "Mr. Rong."
The people behind Rong Qi also greeted him one after another, and looked curiously at Cheng Li and Liu Mingyi standing beside him. Even though the company is so big, they don't necessarily know everyone.
But the conference room on the 34th floor can only be used by the company's middle-level and above management.
Cheng Li and Liu Mingyi are both strangers.
Rong Qi stood still, raised his eyes and glanced over them, including Cheng Li.
Wan Zichen walked to his side and whispered, "These two are from Fanhai."
Rong Qi nodded slightly.
His expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't really care about this matter.
Thinking about it, Qiyu didn't need to be very concerned about acquiring a small company. He could just leave it to the people below.
The elevator on the left arrives first.
They approached the group of people who came after them, and they filed in.
Rong Qi did not go in until a beautiful woman with long curly hair reached out to block the elevator that was about to close. She looked over at Rong Qi and asked with a chuckle: "Mr. Rong, aren't you coming in?"
Her expression was natural and relaxed, and it was obvious. , very familiar with Rong Qi.
Rong Qi shook his head: "You guys go down first, I have a few words to say to Zichen."
Then, the beautiful woman took back her hand.
The elevator door closed in front of Cheng Li.
Cheng Li was not someone who compared her looks with other girls, but for the first time, when she looked at the smooth elevator door in front of her, an inexplicable thought came to her mind.
She is more beautiful, or she is the same woman just now.
Seeing that there was no one around, Rong Qi walked up to Cheng Li and said calmly: "Mr. Cheng, let's have a chat."
Cheng Li was brought back to his senses by his words.
Although Mr. Cheng's words were terribly unfamiliar, she still forced herself to nod.
They entered the conference room. This time only Wan Zichen followed in, and even Liu Mingyi stayed outside.
Rong Qi did not sit down on the chair, but stood at the window and looked outside.
The afternoon sunshine in winter is not too warm, but has a light and lazy feeling.
Rong Qi turned back, looked at her, and asked directly: "Are you still satisfied with the terms of the acquisition?"
"So far, Mr. Wan and I are quite satisfied," Cheng Li said in a professional manner, but still didn't Speak to death.
Rong Qi took two steps forward and placed his palms on the chair closest to him.
After gently turning the back of the chair in a circle.
He slowly raised his eyes and looked over again: "That's good, but there is an acquisition condition that is not suitable to be written in the contract, so I need to tell you in person."
Obviously, he was mastering the pace of the negotiation, and with this unreasonable The unhurried attitude made Cheng Li feel nervous.
Cheng Li pursed her lips slightly: "Please tell me."
"The additional condition for our acquisition of Oceanwide is that Gao Zhihe be kicked out of the company."
Cheng Li was startled and said helplessly: "Mr. Rong, Gao Zhihe is the founder of the company. One of them holds more than 20% of the company's shares. If he is unwilling to sell his shares, none of us can force him. "
"That's your business," Rong Qi said in an unquestionable tone.
This sentence was successful and made Cheng Li feel slightly choked.
But Rong Qi glanced at her and reminded her again: "This is also our company, and there is no condition to keep the acquisition price to the lowest."
Cheng Li was silent for a long time.
Wan Zichen looked at Rong Qi nervously. He originally wanted to bring this up slowly.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Rong would not give him any buffer space at all.
"Okay." Finally, Cheng Li nodded.
After finishing speaking, Cheng Li said softly: "Mr. Rong, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Walk slowly," Rong Qi nodded slightly.
Wan Zichen quickly said: "Mr. Rong, I'm going to see Mr. Cheng off."
When the two of them walked out of the office, Wan Zichen quickly comforted him: "Mr. Cheng, don't be nervous. In fact, we, Mr. Rong, are not usually serious. , but you also know that a company acquisition will inevitably have a major impact. Your CEO is a rat. Mr. Rong hates this kind of person and cannot allow him to stay in the company. "
"I understand," Cheng Li. Nod lightly.
Until she got into the car, Cheng Li felt like she had just had a dream.
She had a brief but somewhat intense business encounter with a man who had the same name, surname, and even appearance as her husband.
The other party is cold and powerful.
She was so suppressed that she had no power to fight back.
In the evening, Cheng Li rarely got off work early because Aunt Li called and said there was something at home and she needed to come back.
The aunt didn't say anything, so Cheng Li could only go home directly.
When she got home, she changed her shoes and called out: "Auntie."
But no aunt responded to her, and a person came out of the kitchen.
Rong Qi was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand. The two looked at each other.
Rong Qi was about to speak, but suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the pot is about to fall."
With that, he walked quickly back to the kitchen.
Cheng Li stood at the entrance and blinked slightly, seeming a little stunned.
Rong Qi, who was dressed like this at home, seemed to be incompatible with the man in a suit and calm and powerful face in the afternoon.
Until Rong Qi came out again.
The apron on her body was still on.
"You..." Cheng Li took a deep breath, but quickly lowered her eyelids without looking at his face, and said in a low voice: "Did you get off work so early today?"
But there was always an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
The luxurious and tall headquarters building of Qiyu Technology, the executives following Rong Qi, his cold and powerful appearance standing in the conference room...
Just as she lowered her head, she suddenly fell into a warm feeling. embrace.
This embrace was familiar to her.
"Because I have to come back in a hurry to coax my wife."
