Chapter 9: Chapter 9

9 - Your favorite white moonlight is here.

Of course Cheng Li would not refuse such a good opportunity.

She immediately said, "Okay, I'll check out the restaurant now."

"Where is your company?" Rong Qi's cold voice sounded again.

Cheng Li reported her address and heard the other person say: "It's quite close to where I am now. I'll be downstairs in five minutes."

When she hung up the phone, Cheng Li didn't expect that everything went so smoothly.

From the reunion to now, Cheng Li found that he still seemed to be the same as he remembered, not just in appearance. After all, after so many years since high school, he had lost his youthfulness in both body shape and appearance, and looked completely like a mature man.

But he just gave people the feeling that when he stood there, he was like the vast and boundless sea. No matter how strong the wind was raging outside, and the years went by, he still maintained such pure unruliness.

It is said that after entering society, everyone is forced to wear adult clothes and learn to be hypocritical.

He didn't seem to have changed at all, and he still looked at everyone with those clean and calm eyes.

Perhaps this is also because he is too successful and does not need to be conciliatory with everyone and deliberately become likeable.

However, when Rong Qi first showed his talents, someone broke the news about his impressive background.

He even cited Bill Gates as an example, saying that the media used to say that Bill Gates succeeded in starting his own business, but no one ever mentioned that his mother was a director of Goldman Sachs.

So in recent years, there have been many rumors about Rong Qi's family background.

But he himself never made any response to this.

However, Cheng Li knew that Rong Qi's background was always only his own.

Although Cheng Li didn't know the details of his parents, she only knew that he had been living with his grandparents since high school, and his grandparents raised him by setting up a stall.

While Cheng Li was thinking wildly, WeChat vibrated twice.

She opened it immediately and saw the message from Rong Qi.

[Come down. ]

Cheng Li quickly locked the computer, picked up her bag, got up and went downstairs.

When she got downstairs, she happened to see a Maybach driving over, the same one she saw on the roadside last night.

The car stopped on the side of the road. The driver was about to get out of the cab and open the door. Cheng Li didn't wait pretentiously. He opened the back seat door directly and warned: "There are traffic police at our intersection. You are not allowed to park for a long time, otherwise you will Fine."

The driver didn't expect that the girl who came to pick him up was so down-to-earth and would consider this matter for him.

Cheng Li sat in the car and met Rong Qi's eyes, who had just raised his head from his mobile phone.

"Let's drive." Rong Qi ordered.

The driver restarted the car and couldn't help but glance in the rearview mirror.

Helping the boss to pick up people is a common thing.

But for girls, this is the first time in history.

The driver was naturally a little curious about Cheng Li.

Cheng Li asked directly: "What do you want to eat? I searched for a few good restaurants nearby."

There is a problem with good restaurants nowadays, they have to be booked in advance.

For example, at Restaurant J, if you want to reserve a table with a view, you need to book it at least a week in advance.

"Chinese food." Rong Qi said directly.

Cheng Li nodded, "Very good." She was most afraid that he would say the word "whatever" and she would have to rack her brains to think of what to eat.

Because it is noon now, the rest is only two and a half hours.

Eliminate all hot pot, barbecue and other strong-smelling foods.

Sichuan food that is too spicy is not acceptable either.

Both of them are from Jiangnan, and their tastes should be similar, on the lighter side.

Local cuisine, Hangzhou cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, all of these should be fine, and you won't step into a minefield.

Cheng Li's brain was like a high-speed machine. After quickly filtering out the data, she asked, "How is the Hangzhou cuisine?"

"Okay."

After hearing Rong Qi's answer, she was a little happy and couldn't help but say, "I Last time I went to Hangzhou, I had a dish called spring water beef, which was very delicious. "

This was because Cheng Li went to Hangzhou on a business trip.

The local partner took her to a famous private restaurant.

Rong Qi suddenly chuckled: "How delicious is it?"

"I want to eat it again." Cheng Li said truthfully.

Hearing this answer, the smile on Rong Qi's lips became more and more vague. Cheng Li seemed to see a hint of ridicule in his smile.

Could it be that he was laughing at her lack of vocabulary?

"I'm a science student and my vocabulary is relatively lacking," Cheng Li said first.

If she dares to face her shortcomings, she will be invincible.

Rong Qi leaned back on the chair, slowly tilted his head and looked at Cheng Li: "I just want to know how delicious the spring water beef is."

"I'll take you to try it next time." Cheng Li said smoothly.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was not right.

But Rong Qi's eyes had already fallen on her face, and the corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling. After a long time, he said calmly: "I have even thought of the reason for next time."

Ha?

Cheng Li: "..."

No, she just said casually, why did he take it seriously?

Suddenly, Cheng Li wanted to know what this man had experienced during the years they were apart.

To be able to make him say such words without changing his face.

Fortunately, there was a Hangzhou cuisine restaurant nearby, and Cheng Li chose the one with a slightly more expensive price. After all, the queue at a popular restaurant would kill people.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the restaurant, although there were many people, there was still room.

Fortunately, a couple had just finished eating, and a seat by the window became available. After the waiter cleared the table and re-covered it with a clean tablecloth, they sat down.

The waiter brought the menu over, and Cheng Li handed it to Rong Qi when he said, "You order it, I'll do whatever you want."

So Cheng Li looked at it and ordered a few dishes that weren't wrong.

"This place doesn't have spring water beef?" Rong Qi suddenly said after she finished ordering.

The memory of his death just now attacks Cheng Li again.

She felt that if she continued like this, she would never be able to look directly at this dish again.

Spring water beef, it is innocent.

After ordering, the two sat opposite each other in a relatively wordless silence.

Especially compared to the lively and harmonious atmosphere of other tables in the lobby, their table seemed particularly quiet.

Cheng Li slowly looked away, thinking about what topic to talk about.

When she looked towards Rong Qi, she saw that he had one hand on the water glass and his eyelids were slightly raised.

Two lines of sight collided in mid-air.

"Your company must be very busy," Cheng Li held it in for a long time before finally thinking of this pure nonsense.

After saying that, even she herself felt disgusted. He is a CEO who has many things to do, so why not be busy?

Rong Qi circled the side of the cup with his fingers: "It's okay."

Cheng Li couldn't think of anything to say. Even if they knew each other, they were just high school classmates who hadn't seen each other in more than ten years. There is no communication, even as far away as the Milky Way.

No wonder Meng Yuange was so emotional that day.

Who would have thought that students sitting in the same classroom could be so different.

"What company do you work for now?" Suddenly, Rong Qi asked.

Cheng Li was in a daze and was a little stunned when asked this question.

Cheng Li didn't expect that he would ask this, so she had to say: "Oceanwide Intelligence."

Rong Qi raised his eyes: "Oh, the autonomous driving company."

"Have you heard of it?" Cheng Li was a little surprised. After all, Oceanwide Intelligence is engaged in autonomous driving. In the industry, it is not a big company, it is just an emerging start-up company.

Although the company has received two rounds of financing, compared with those leading companies, the gap is like an elephant and an ant.

Rong Qi smiled lazily: "It's hard for people to guess this kind of company name."

Cheng Li turned to look at him and said slowly: "Qiyu Technology will definitely not be guessed. This is an Internet company."

"..."

Cheng Li asked herself that her personality was quite peaceful, and she was not a naturally aggressive person.

But just now, Rong Qi's slightly arrogant tone made her a little unhappy.

Fanhai Zhixing may not be worth mentioning in his eyes, but for Cheng Li, this is where her hard work lies. It's a bit like, no matter how ugly your child is, others will not be happy if they say it.

But after saying that, she felt a little regretful. He wasn't mocking him.

In order to regain her impression points, she immediately said: "The name Qiyu Technology, at first glance, it sounds like a pattern that only major Internet companies have, inheriting the future and creating fields."

Rong Qi: "What is the main technical level of your company?" ?"

Cheng Li didn't understand why he was interested in her company's affairs, but these were not confidential. She said patiently: "We are working on all three levels of L2, 3, and L4. "

The industry will always take the initiative. Driving levels are divided into L0-L5, and the degree of automation increases step by step.

"Are you also doing assisted driving such as L2?"

Cheng Li nodded: "Our company is not large, so we will not only focus on L4 like the leading autonomous driving companies."

Some autonomous driving companies maintain their own internal technology There are many big names and excellent technologies, but they look down on assisted driving technology at all. They always want to break through the current technical barriers and become the next pioneer to lead the tsunami of technological reform.

On this issue, Cheng Li liked Ren Kuang's pragmatism.

"Yes, there are too many technologically ambitious companies these days. Those like you who can do assisted driving in a down-to-earth manner are more conducive to the commercialization of the technology."

The two chatted about the company, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

It has to be said that Rong Qi has absolute say in both business vision and technical fields. When Cheng Li chatted with him, she felt a feeling that she had never experienced in others.

Just waiting for the waiter to serve the food, Cheng Li realized a serious problem.

She and Rong Qi came to dinner to talk about relationships, not work.

Why is it now as if she is going to interview Qiyu in the next second?

Cheng Li decided to bring the topic back between the two.

She smiled and said, "How about we talk about something else? Don't just talk about work during lunch break."

Rong Qi didn't have any objections and nodded calmly.

Cheng Li thought that she must seize the opportunity this time.

The most important thing now is to understand each other.

She asked: "What do you like best?"

Understand the other person's preferences, so that you can know yourself and the other person and cater to their preferences.

This is a perfect question!

Rong Qi paused in holding the chopsticks and turned his head to look at her. There was a probing look in his eyes, which made Cheng Li feel a little panicked. Is this some taboo topic that cannot be asked?

She was just about to give him a step down, so she didn't have to say anything.

Rong Qi looked at her quietly. Cheng Li did not wear her long hair as usual today, but tied it into a ponytail, just like in high school.

The sunlight coming in from the window fell on her fair cheeks.

The chirping of cicadas that summer seemed to suddenly ring in my ears.

"White moon."

She didn't know if it was Cheng Li's illusion or if it was true. She always felt that when Rong Qi said these two words, there was a sense of jerkiness.

She worked overtime until after ten o'clock in the evening. Cheng Li came out of the company and stood on the roadside waiting for an online car-hailing service.

When I looked up, I saw the half moon above my head.

White moon?

Is this what Rong Qi likes the most?

She was a little unsure about what this was.

It wasn't until she took a ride online to book a ride home and was bored while scrolling through her circle of friends that she happened to come across the updates of a university alumnus. This person had been an enthusiast since college and happened to share a set of pictures today.

Among them, one is a picture of the bright moon on the sea, a moon hanging high on the sparkling sea.

She stared at it for a long time, then opened this person's chat box.

Cheng Li: [Can I ask you a question? Is there a white moon? A friend of mine said that he likes the white moon best. ]

The other party replied instantly: [Of course. 】

Alumni: 【Did he refer to the super moon? 】

Alumni: 【Let me look it up for you. The picture of the super moon I took before is very, very beautiful. 】

Alumni: 【Is your friend also a photography enthusiast? 】

After a while, several photos were sent over.

Cheng Li didn't know much about photography or super moons. When she saw the photos sent by the other party, she was really shocked.

The bright and huge full moon is glowing with a white hazy halo. Even if it is just a photo, it is still stunningly beautiful.

At this moment, Cheng Li somewhat understood why Rong Qi liked the white moon.

It turns out that Rong Qi is now a photography enthusiast.

Qiyu Technology, even though it was already past ten o'clock, the lights were still on in the conference room.

Rong Qi was listening to the report attentively. Because the meeting was also attended by the R&D department from the United States, it has continued until now.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

Rong Qi opened it and saw the latest WeChat message.

CM: [Dang Dang Dang, your favorite White moon is here. 】

At this moment, Rong Qi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

It's like a person walking on the desert suddenly sees an oasis right in front of him.

But soon another WeChat message came.

A picture of a big, round and white moon appeared in front of Rong Qi's eyes.

"..."

The author has something to say:

Centimeter: Look at the moon. Is it big, round and white

? Qi: Thank you, let's talk like a chicken.
