Just Getting Married《結婚而已》

Chapter 54

54 - When Rong Qi released her hand, he gently scratched her palm with the tip of his index finger.

The fully blackout curtains blocked all the sunlight outside the window. Even though it was already bright outside, the room was still dim at this moment.

Even if Cheng Li opened her eyes, she could only see the blurry outline of the man in front of her.

But his slightly breathy voice clearly sounded in her ears.

——Your Highness, did I serve you well?

The sound tickled her ears little by little, making her heart itch unbearably.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Rong Qi came close again and said in a low voice: "Huh?"

Cheng Li was really afraid of him, so she quickly said: "Very good, very good."

In the dim light, Rong Qi raised his eyebrows lightly. , said in a slow drawl: "It seems that His Highness is very satisfied with me."

When he spoke, he leaned against Cheng Li's ear.

The warm breath gently sprayed on her skin. Cheng Li couldn't help but shrink her neck and said repeatedly: "Satisfied."

"Then from now on, Your Highness, will you only pamper me?"

Cheng Li was stunned. She stared at him eagerly until her consciousness slowly returned.

Damn it.

Help ah ah ah ah.

This dog man is so good at acting.

In the dim light and shadow, the man's dark eyes, for some unknown reason, were as bright as if they had been washed by water, staring straight at her.

Cheng Li replied dryly: "You are the only one in my harem."

Who else can I pamper besides you?

"Your Highness, you mean that if it were someone else, Your Highness would also consider it?" Rong Qi seemed to be addicted to the performance, speaking of His Highness, making Cheng Li blush.

If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have started this.

Cheng Li learned the lesson this time and shook his head firmly: "No, I'm only willing to take a scoop of the weak water."

"This is your scoop."

After saying that, Cheng Li quickly said: "I'm so hungry, so hungry Ah."

Rong Qi chuckled, her words were the same as saying, please let me go.

"I'll get up first, you lie down for a while," Rong Qi said, directly lifting the quilt, getting up and going down to make breakfast.

Although after he left, Cheng Li could lie down peacefully.

But when she woke up, it was difficult to fall asleep again, so she simply got up to wash herself.

Cheng Li went into the bathroom, squeezed out toothpaste, and started brushing her teeth. However, when she looked up at herself in the mirror, she suddenly found several bright red marks on her chest.

She didn't react at first, so she stretched out her hand and rubbed it.

After rubbing it, I found that the red mark did not fade at all, but became even redder.

Cheng Li suddenly realized that this seemed to be the legendary hickey.

She stared at the red marks in the mirror while brushing her teeth, and laughed softly.

Fortunately, it was winter now, so when she was changing clothes, she randomly found a turtleneck sweater and couldn't see anything.

When she came out and arrived at the restaurant, she saw Rong Qi coming out of the kitchen with breakfast.

Cheng Li walked over and saw an extremely neat poached egg with love on a white plate.

"This," Cheng Li looked at the love-poached egg in shock.

Rong Qi looked at her and chuckled: "Did you forget the omelette mold you bought yourself?"

Cheng Li had almost forgotten it.

She was angry because Rong Qi mistook her love omelette for a triangular omelette, so she bought a love mold online, but she never used it even once after buying it.

Unexpectedly, it was Rong Qi who found the mold and made her a love-poached egg.

Cheng Li sat down, looked at the poached egg, and said with a smile, "It's so good-looking that I can't even bear to eat it."

"If you like it, I'll make it for you every day."

Cheng Li said with a smile while eating, "Mr. Rong, Does anyone know that you cook poached eggs for your wife at home every day?"

Rong Qi looked at her playful expression and raised his eyebrows: "If you want others to know, I can go to the company to promote it tomorrow."

Cheng Li: " ..."

I can't play it, I can't play it.

Cheng Li shut up obediently and ate breakfast quietly.

The next day at work, Cheng Li had just had a meeting with her colleagues when she heard Han Xiaolin come in and whisper: "Mr. Ren is back."

Cheng Li was a little surprised. The meeting happened to be coming to an end, so she simply ended it early.

As soon as she left the conference room, she went straight to Ren Kuang's office.

After knocking twice on the door, she heard the voice inside: "Come in."

Cheng Li pushed the door open and saw Ren Kuang standing in the office, standing at the same spot where he had fainted before. Cheng Li stood at the door, looking at him at this moment, feeling like he was in a different world.

"Does it feel like a lifetime ago?" Ren Kuang asked with a chuckle when he saw her lost in thought.

Cheng Li nodded and slowly walked into the office.

Ren Kuang looked down at his feet, as if reminiscing, then he raised his head and chuckled: "If you hadn't come back that day, I really don't know if I could have been saved."

Cheng Li: "You are a lucky person with your own destiny . Look."

She looked at Ren Kuang's face carefully and said in a low voice: "Your complexion is much better, but do you really don't need to rest at home anymore? Everything in the company is running normally."

"I just lie down at home. I'm not doing anything, and I'm almost getting moldy. I can't help but come to the company to have a look." Ren Kuang raised his eyes and looked outside: "I'm not here, everything in the company is indeed business as usual."

Cheng Li listened . Ren Kuang felt depressed and quickly said: "Everyone wants to give you an orderly company when you come back, so they will work hard."

Ren Kuang was amused.

Cheng Li then reported: "We were in a meeting just now and were discussing the participation in the World Artificial Intelligence Conference. This is the entire process. Please see if there is anything that needs to be modified."

She handed over the folder in her hand. Come up.

"Forget it, I won't watch it. I originally thought that even if I was a monk ringing the clock for a day, it turned out," Ren Kuang pointed to the place where he fainted before and said, "But as soon as I entered this office, I I felt a little scared, always thinking about what would happen if I didn't wake up after I fainted that day. "

People are like this. When I was working hard, no matter how others tried to persuade me, it was of no use."

As a result, when I really face death, I don't need to be reminded by others. I will be scared just thinking about it.

Cheng Li whispered: "Everything is over, senior brother."

"This World Intellectual Conference is an opportunity for you, Cheng Li," Ren Kuang looked at Cheng Li seriously and said, "Once you enter Qiyu, you will not be able to You can let go like this. In such a large company, the personnel are complex, and you are surrounded by top talents in the industry. If you are the kind of person who is opportunistic, I won't worry about you. "

Ren Kuang . He was ready to leave, but he was still a little worried about Cheng Li.

After getting along with her for the past few years, he really admired Cheng Li. This girl never took any evil ways, worked hard, dared to fight, and focused solely on technology.

He himself came from a large factory to start a business, and he knew that the living environment of a large factory was hundreds of times more difficult than that of a start-up company like theirs.

But he hoped that everything would go well for Cheng Li.

"Brother, I know you are worried about me, but life is never easy. Since I have decided to work hard, I will not care about what I will face in the future, because no matter what I encounter, I will work hard to solve it."

World Artificial Intelligence The conference was held in Shanghai and was co-organized by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Shanghai Municipal Government. It was also supported by major technical institutes such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It was considered the largest event at the end of the year.

The entire Oceanwide has been carefully preparing for this exhibition several months ago.

Although this exhibition is very large, with thousands of booths, Oceanwide may only be an insignificant participant among all the participating companies, but everyone is very enthusiastic about their work.

Because this is the first time in three years that they have been invited to such a large event.

Although I had participated in some in the past, they were all at a small level, or the scale was far less than this.

So much so that Cheng Li had some insomnia the day before.

It was Rong Qi who saw her uneasiness and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Cheng Li shook his head: "I was just thinking about the artificial intelligence conference tomorrow."

Rong Qi thought it was something, but it turned out to be work .

The two of them didn't go back to the room at this time, but were holding a computer on the sofa in the living room. They were originally holding a computer, but now they were leaning together.

Cheng Li seemed to have remembered something and turned to look at Rong Qi: "Was it also hard for you to start your own business?"

"It's okay." Rong Qi said lightly.

Cheng Li's eyes widened. Are you okay? ?

When she first joined Oceanwide, she was so tired from work that she really felt like vomiting, which was a physiological reaction.

Seeing Cheng Li's slightly dissatisfied expression, Rong Qi chuckled, and then explained seriously: "Because when I think about it, it seems that it's really okay. People have a sense of protection for themselves, and memories that are too painful will be automatically forgotten. That kind of pain, when I mention it again in the future, it's okay."

Cheng Li understood a little, and she said, "Me too, when I first joined Fanhai, I was so tired that I doubted my life, and my hair was growing in fistfuls. Fortunately, I have a lot of hair. But even so, Teacher Ling still bought me sesame seeds and forced me to drink them every morning."

Rong Qi's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.

He reached out and hugged Cheng Li and whispered, "But when you look back at Fanhai now, will you feel that all your efforts were worth it."

"Yes." Cheng Li nodded.

Although they are not in the same company, they have the same entrepreneurial path, so they are in the same mind at this moment.

The blood and sweat shed as you walk by will eventually bloom into dazzling flowers one day in the future.

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference is officially launched on the first day.

The entire Shanghai World Expo Center has been bustling since early in the morning. This conference not only invited major companies, but also invited the country's top artificial intelligence scientists, investors and innovation teams, and many citizens came here because of its reputation.

Because at such exhibitions, major companies will bring out their technological products that are at the bottom of the box.

Many products will surprise people.

Oceanwide's main focus is autonomous driving and advanced assisted driving products. On their platform, there are some software and hardware products. Moreover, their company is small, their booth is relatively remote, and the area is not very large.

Cheng Li had known it for a long time, so there was no disappointment at all.

Because she had considered this issue before, Cheng Li worked hard to attract attention.

She deliberately optimized the three-dimensional animation she made when she cooperated with Jiangchi Automobile Factory. The entire autonomous parking scene is presented in the form of animation, and the animation is not only vivid and cute, but also accompanied by cute mechanical sounds.

When it was presented on the huge screen accompanying the booth, it was immediately different from the serious high-tech feeling around it.

After a while, people started coming in to watch.

Cheng Li stood near the booth and didn't move much.

Until Zuo Qingqing came back and said in a shocked tone: "Sister Li, I just went to the bathroom and happened to pass by Tianma Zhihang's booth. Not only was their booth big, there was also a car on display."

"Car? What car? " ?" Tang Ruiyuan walked over and asked in a low voice.

Zuo Qingqing said: "It seems to be a new car they cooperated with Fengrui Automobile Factory. It is said that this car is equipped with their latest L4 automatic software and hardware system. This is also the first time it has been unveiled at a domestic exhibition."

Tang Ruiyuan said with a smile: " It's a big attack, it's really worth the money."

As he said that, he turned to look at Cheng Li and asked, "Would you like to go see it together?"

Cheng Li said calmly, "Okay."

The two of them didn't say much. Heading straight to Tianma Zhihang's booth, Zuo Qingqing was dumbfounded as he watched the two of them leave just as they were about to leave. Were they just spying on the enemy openly?

Without any guidance, they quickly reached Tianma Zhihang's booth.

Because it was really conspicuous and big, and there was a car right in front of the booth.

Many people gathered around the car, and Tianma Zhihang's staff patiently began to explain.

"This is the first car equipped with the fourth-generation autonomous driving software and hardware system that Tianma Zhihang and Fengrui Automobile Co., Ltd. have officially cooperated with. Now we are about to start the mass production of the first batch of vehicles and have completed a six-month process. Road test."

Tang Ruiyuan stared at the car carefully and suddenly said: "In the future, we will be regarded as Tianma's direct competitors."

"Do you think so highly of yourself?" Cheng Li chuckled.

Tang Ruiyuan snorted: "We will be Qiyu people soon, why don't we talk loudly?"

Oceanwide was a small and emerging company in the past, and there was no comparison with Tianma, a leader in the autonomous driving industry. But things are different now. After Oceanwide is acquired by Qiyu Technology, it will inevitably be integrated into Qiyu's car manufacturing department. At that time, they will jump directly from a startup company to the top domestic first-line team.

Backed by a large company with strong financial resources, it is natural to speak louder.

Cheng Li looked at the crowded booth of Tianma Zhihang, and there was a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in his eyes: "Yes, why can't we win? Sooner or later we can do better than them." There

was a commotion around the people, domestically. The most cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies are all gathered here.

This is a place where dreams take off, a place of opportunity for entrepreneurs, and a battlefield where the top domestic technology companies compete with each other.

No one gives up easily.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Cheng Li took the time to go home.

Because Rong Qi was not in Shanghai these days, she stayed at home for two days.

So I just happened to talk about the company.

"By the way, mom, didn't you previously own 3% of our company's shares," Cheng Li said.

Ms. Ling was stunned for a moment, then remembered and said, "Didn't I help you with the holding?"

When Cheng Li entered the company, it was just the beginning of the company, and Ren Kuang was looking for investments. Cheng Li, as a newly graduated Although I am a graduate student, I have a beautiful resume, but I have little experience.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to get so many shares.

You must know that Yu Cheng, the former chief architect who left before, only held 5% of the shares.

But because Yu Cheng is a purely technical investor.

At that time, Cheng Li gritted her teeth and borrowed 500,000 yuan from her parents, investing all of it in the company. Because the money was borrowed from her parents, when Ren Kuang gave her shares later, Cheng Li was too embarrassed to put them in her own name, so she put them directly in Ms. Ling's name.

At this time, Cheng Li said calmly: "Our company is about to be acquired, so after New Year's Day, you need to sign several agreements and sell all the shares in hand."

Qiyu Technology is a wholly-owned acquisition of Oceanwide Intelligence , so Cheng Li also took the opportunity to ask Ms. Ling to sell the 3% shares.

Ms. Ling didn't care, she just nodded and said, "Okay, tell me when you need to sign."

Because although the shares are in her name, to Ms. Ling, they belong to Cheng Li, so she He didn't care at all and agreed casually.

However, Cheng Dingbo asked with some interest: "Has your company been sold? How much did it cost? How much do you have now with your 3% stake?"

Because it is a company secret, it has not yet been announced to the public.

However, Ms. Ling is considered a shareholder, and Cheng Li doesn't hide it much. They will know it in a few days anyway.

Cheng Li said: "Our company has been sold for more than 400 million, and the shares in my mother's name can probably be divided into more than 10 million."

Her parents, who were eating, suddenly raised their heads and stared at Cheng Li.

The two of them were shocked at the same time, and both asked: "How much?"

"It should be more than 10 million, but I guess you have to pay a tax. We'll talk about it then," Cheng Li replied.

The parents looked at each other, still unable to hide the surprise and shock in their eyes.

One of them is a civil servant, and the other is a teacher. Their income is neither high nor low. They had gritted their teeth and bought the house they have now, and they have been living there until now.

They did have some spare money on hand. They originally wanted to wait for Cheng Li to get married and collect a down payment for her.

But it's not that rich, even for an ordinary well-off family.

When Cheng Li borrowed 500,000 yuan, the two of them were shocked. Although they felt distressed, thinking that their daughter had grown up and opened her mouth to them for the first time, they still gritted their teeth and took out the money.

I originally thought that it would be best if I saved the money for a period of time and could get it back.

If you can't get it back, just treat it as paying Cheng Li's tuition.

After all, it costs millions to study abroad. Duan Yuling is such a scumbag and spent so much money to study in the UK. Cheng Li studied at a top domestic school, which didn't cost them much at all.

Who would have thought that in just a few years, this amount of money would have doubled so many times.

Cheng Dingbo calculated it in his mind and said in surprise: "Isn't this a twenty-fold increase? Your industry is too profitable."

Cheng Li chuckled: "We are nothing. We are lucky . The company acquired it. You must know that the highest return rate for the first investors in Tencent was 7,000 times. "

Since the rise of the Internet, the technology industry has been like a huge gold mine, and there is indeed gold to be mined. "

But there are many people who lose all their money.

"So, as soon as the money comes, you go out for a tour first. You can go to the Maldives, Tahiti, wherever you want, or Europe. Anyway, Teacher Ling's English skills are enough to travel around the world."

Ling Shuanghua finally recovered from the shock and said calmly: "What are you doing? Buy a financial management tool first and then look at the house later. Originally, I thought about giving you a house before you get married, but you made a surprise attack. But now It's not too late to buy it, it's all your own money anyway."

Cheng Li smiled: "I just jumped out of the trap of starting a business, and you are really my mother."

"It doesn't matter. When your dad and I were saving money to buy this house, I wanted to eat steamed buns in the school cafeteria every day. There was a tile above my head, so I didn't panic."

Cheng Li: "I'm not in a hurry to buy a house. Let's talk about it later."

The family of three was silent for a while, and Ms. Ling looked at her and said faintly: "I didn't expect that I would never get rich from my husband, but I would get from my daughter."

Ms. Ling was indeed happy. She was so happy before . I always worry that the gap between Cheng Li and Rong Qi is too big.

On the one hand, she is happy that her son-in-law is excellent, but on the other hand, she is worried that her son-in-law is too outstanding, and she is also afraid that Cheng Li will be wronged.

But now she suddenly realized that Cheng Li had grown up to be even better than she had imagined.

"So now you know that I wake up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog, so it still has some value." Cheng Li looked at Ms. Ling's expression and laughed softly.

One week after New Year's Day.

The signing ceremony for Qiyu Technology's acquisition of Oceanwide was officially held in the conference room of Qiyu's headquarters.

As the chief architect of Oceanwide, Cheng Li also attended the signing ceremony.

When Ren Kuang and Rong Qi were in the office and signing the contract, Cheng Li looked a little dazed.

In the future, she will officially enter the company, but this time she is no longer as nervous as when she first entered Oceanwide. On the contrary, she is a little excited.

After the signing, Rong Qi, on behalf of Qiyu, shook hands with people from Fanhai.

After he finished shaking hands with the person in front of him in a routine manner, he walked up to Cheng Li, stretched out his palm, and said softly: "Cheng Li, welcome to join Qiyu Technology. I am very happy to be able to walk side by side with you."

" Thank you, Mr. Rong, I will definitely work harder in the future," Cheng Li raised her hand, held his palm, and said equally seriously.

Under the gaze of everyone, they held their hands together lightly.

Everyone applauded.

But no one knew that when Rong Qi let go of her palm, the tip of his index finger lightly scratched her palm.
