Cheng Gui stayed overnight and slept in a guest room on the first floor.

He went into the guest room, stayed for a while, and then came out again, “Sister, is this the only guest room left?”

“That’s the only room.” Cheng Liu only furnished her room on the second floor, and as for this room on the first floor, she had it tidied up.

Cheng Gui stood at the entrance of the corridor, his expression strange. “Why does the bed in there shake?”

In the living room, Ji Chaozhou has not yet left. Upon hearing his words, he glanced at Cheng Liu with a faint look.

“That’s a massage bed. The salesperson specifically recommended it to people like me who spend long hours in front of a computer.” Cheng Liuji sat up straight, her expression serious. “Cheng Gui, your mindset is unhealthy.”

Cheng Gui said a little embarrassedly, “I’ve never seen a massage bed before.”

“Now that you’ve seen it,” Cheng Liu said earnestly, “you can try it tonight.”

“Okay, sis, I’m going to rest now.” Cheng Gui walked back to the guest room.

As soon as he left, Cheng Liu turned to Ji Chaozhou and sincerely explained, “That bed really is just for massage. The salesperson said it relieves fatigue, and it was recommended by a business partner.”

She had simply considered the possibility of being kicked out of the master bedroom at night, so she prepared a room in advance for her use and put a fancy bed in it. She really didn’t mean anything by it.

Ji Chaozhou’s gaze slowly fell on Cheng Liu, “Is that so?”

If her gaze hadn’t wandered, and she hadn’t looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, perhaps he would have believed her.

After fidgeting for a moment, Young President Cheng pinched two fingers together and said seriously, “At most, I only have slightly unhealthy thoughts about it.”

Ji Chaozhou stood up. “I’m going back.”

Some people were just shameless; he couldn’t compare.

……

The next day, He Bai arrived very early. He first emailed the compiled information to Cheng Liu, then printed out a paper document and handed it to her. Standing next to her, he briefly reported the information he gathered from the car companies.

“Several car companies in S City are very welcoming of cooperating with Shenyin Technology, but one of them has shrunk significantly and may not be able to keep up with our pace.” He Bai then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the remaining car companies, and concluded, “Currently, Tianqi Car Company has the funds and good technology, so it should be the best option.”

Cheng Liu turned to look at him, “Is there anything else you haven’t said?”

He Bai hesitated and said, “It seems that President Ji of Tianqi Auto Company is not very willing to cooperate with Shenyin.”

He Bai hadn’t expected this either.

He spoke with the person in charge of Tianqi Auto yesterday. They were very much looking forward to cooperating with Shenyin. After all, all car companies were now chasing this technology, and whoever could successfully apply it first was very likely to become the industry leader.

However, the person in charge of Tianqi also subtly revealed that Ji Mushan seemed to have no intention of cooperating with Shenyin Technology. Every time people in the company brought it up, he would change the subject and postpone the discussion.

“I understand.” Cheng Liu was not surprised.

When Cheng Liu had spoken with Ji Mushan on WeChat before April, he was very optimistic about cooperating with Shenyin Technology. At the time Cheng Liu also preferred Tianqi Auto Company, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to contact Ji Mushan.

There must be some new concerns.

Even with signed contracts, things could still change between companies; Cheng Liu had always maintained a calm attitude.

Cheng Liu glanced through the documents, closed them, and said, “I’ll arrange to talk to President Ji in a while.”

“Older Sister, Assistant He.” Cheng Gui came out and saw the two talking in the living room, and called out.

Cheng Liu placed the documents on the coffee table and turned around. “You’re up. Are you resigning from your job at that agency or taking leave first?”

“Resign.” Cheng Gui had already made up his mind last night. He wasn’t good with words, and this job was just a temporary measure for him anyway.

“That works too.” Cheng Liu took out a key and handed it to him. “My old place is unoccupied. You can go and stay there for a while. The food appraisal center is nearby.”

Cheng Gui hesitated, “I haven’t been accepted into the interview yet.”

“There will be several rounds of written and oral exams, which will take several days. Where else is it convenient for you to stay?” Cheng Liu tossed the keys over directly. “I remember you have good grades in your major and have participated in competitions before, even winning awards. You should have no problem performing normally.”

Cheng Gui wasn’t particularly bright, but he was resilient and patient, making him well-suited for this kind of work.

“Okay,” Cheng Gui agreed. “I’ll only stay for a few days.”

“Okay.” Cheng Liu told the two to wait there. “I’m going next door.”

… …

Next door, Ji Chaozhou had already woken up. He picked out a set of clothes, put on a watch, and sat on the living room sofa, waiting for someone to come over.

When Cheng Liu entered, she was stunned to see Ji Chaozhou on the sofa. She felt that he looked exceptionally handsome today.

His legs were exceptionally long, his waist exceptionally slender, his shoulders exceptionally straight, and his sleeves were slightly folded down, revealing only a sliver of his thin, white wrist, exuding an indescribable, ascetic allure.

Xiao Cheng thought to herself: My sweetheart is really handsome.

Ji Chaozhou glanced at Cheng Liu at the door and said, “Come here.”

“Oh, okay.” Cheng Liu slowly moved over, staring at Ji Chaozhou without blinking, as if blinking would mean missing him.

After she sat down, Ji Chaozhou opened the lid of the blue porcelain jar in front of him, stretched out his beautiful and slender hand, and said to Cheng Liu, “Hand.”

Cheng Liu looked down at his outstretched palm. Although she was puzzled, she still extended her hand as instructed.
