The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Lu Qing said, "I didn't watch the news after dinner! What about the American one?"

"The American company relied on its local brand and quoted a price that was twice as high as ours! They also used several bigwigs from the Democratic Party to pressure Weisker. In fact, Weisker has obviously sided with the redneck Republicans. We just found out about this!"

Lu Qing finally figured out the whole story and told everyone about signing the contract tomorrow. Everyone really cheered this time! The cost of the first phase of this project is as high as more than 10 billion RMB, and there are still phases 2 and 3 to come. As long as the cooperation is good, the subsequent projects may be directly contracted to Qingguo Qingcheng.

Everyone wanted to go out and celebrate, and Lu Qing agreed, but she still had to go to bed.

Ding Yingzhen asked, "Can you sleep like this? Aren't you excited?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I'm excited, but I still need to rest. Don't play too crazy, the signing will be in the morning tomorrow. Yingzhen, you are responsible for their route, and you must report back before 8pm."

Everyone said goodbye to Lu Qing, and this time they happily went out shopping with a credit limit of 5,000 yuan.

Lu Qing lay there for a while, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. She got up, changed her clothes, and walked to the beach opposite the hotel to enjoy the sea breeze.

The beach here is completely different from Haicheng. The shore is full of tall rocks. The waves hit the rocks, creating huge waves. Lu Qing feels that she can look at the scenery for a lifetime without getting tired of it.

Only a writer could write "The Old Man and the Sea" while looking at such scenery, right?

Someone came up behind me and asked softly, "Was the journey hard?"

Lu Qing knew who it was without turning around. It was as if time had gone back in an instant. "It's not hard. Have you been here for a long time?" After saying that, she turned around and looked at Zhang Xueren with a smile.

Xueren said, "For a short while. I didn't expect it to rain wherever I went. The weather in California is so nice, but it has been like this for the past few days."

Lu Qing saw that his windbreaker was soaked by the drizzle again, and his cheeks were still thin. She felt distressed and turned to look at the sea. "I like the sea in this weather the most. The water turns dark blue, which is more melancholy. The waves are also bigger and look more imposing."

Zhang Xueren accompanied Lu Qing and watched quietly for a while. Afraid that Lu Qing would catch a cold, he walked with her to the hotel cafe and sat down.

"Waisker called you?"

"Yes, let's go over there tomorrow to sign the contract. How did you and Weisker know each other?"

Zhang Xueren replied, "I am now a visiting professor at Caltech. Weisker gave up his job as CEO and went to teach at the university. We became familiar with each other after a while."

Lu Qing said, "That's what I told you. Without your introduction, how would Weisker know about our little-known company?"

Zhang Xueren looked at Lu Qing secretly, "You seem to have lost weight."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "I'm not thin, but you are. Hey, look at you, can't you eat more? You're thinner than the last time I saw you! How can this be okay?"

Zhang Xueren lied to Lu Qing, "I eat a lot, don't worry! I've been busy writing a book recently, staying up late a lot, plus the school orchestra has to perform publicly, so I practice frequently. I'm busy so I've lost some weight."

“Do you still play the cello?”

"Yes."

"What piece of music will be performed this time?"

"Ah," Zhang Xueren was stunned, "Second Waltz."

Lu Qing smiled, as if she remembered his performance, "That song is very nice. When are you going to perform?"

"Weisker's here Thursday night, he's playing a duet with me. Are you coming?"

Lu Qing shook her head, "We'll be going back on Wednesday."

"Okay, I'll be nervous when you go."

"No, you've been on stages of all sizes, how could you be nervous?"

The waiter came to take the order. Zhang Xueren ordered black coffee and kiwi juice for Lu Qing. Lu Qing also ordered a scone for Zhang Xueren.

Lu Qing thought about yesterday, "What do you and Weisker often talk about? Yesterday at the Sky Headquarters, he also gave me kiwi juice."

Zhang Xueren also found it interesting. "Although Weisker is a wealthy man, he is actually very lonely. Both of his wives have divorced him, and he is now alone. We practiced piano together, and after a long time, we talked a lot. I may have accidentally mentioned that you like to drink kiwi juice."

Lu Qing said, "With your relationship, I am under even more pressure. You introduced our company to me. If we don't do well, won't it bring shame to you?!"

Zhang Xueren took a sip of coffee and said, "Don't think so. To be honest, apart from my help in the introduction, everything else is your own achievement. After you finished your meeting this morning, Weisker called me as soon as you left the meeting room."

"What did he say? Did he say I was impulsive and rude?"

"No, he said you're proud and sensitive, quick to react and very real, so he's already decided to let you do it before he even talked to the other companies."

Lu Qing thought about her experience that day, which could be said to be full of twists and turns.

Then he told Zhang Xueren about Cindy and Zhang Chen.

Zhang Xueren asked about Zhang Chen's character.

"He has worked with me for three or four years. He is very capable and dedicated. As for his character, there seems to be no problem at present. There are many beautiful women in the planning department, and there are no rumors. If Cindy really wants to develop a further relationship with him, I will investigate seriously, so you can rest assured. In addition, your uncle and aunt are very nice, so you can rest assured. When I buy things for my parents, I always prepare an extra copy for Cindy to take back. The uncle and aunt had a physical examination some time ago, and except for some minor items that were a little bit over the limit, everything else was very good. I hired a professional doctor to be their family doctor to take care of them and regulate their health."

Zhang Xueren looked at Lu Qing and just smiled. "Okay, I get it. With you here, I have nothing to worry about. In my heart, your presence is the same as my presence."

Before Lu Qing could finish her words, she already hated herself for not being able to help but ask, "Are you still alone now?"

"There's nothing wrong with being alone. I can be free and unrestrained. I'm going to New York in the second half of the year, and I don't have to worry about anything. I can go whenever I want."

"NYU or Columbia?"

"I haven't decided yet. I went to Columbia University last year. Any recommendations?"

"No." Lu Qing originally wanted to say that her sister-in-law Fu Jiayi was studying at Columbia University, but she was afraid that Zhang Xueren's decision would be influenced by her, so she suppressed her thoughts and did not say it.

Zhang Xueren quickly finished a cup of black coffee and raised his hand for another one. He didn't eat a single bite of the scone. Lu Qing couldn't help it. "Can't you just have one cup of this black coffee? It's already afternoon. If you drink another cup, will you be able to sleep at night? Look at how thin you have become? Doesn't your body want it anymore? You are so young, what are you going to do? Who do you want to piss off to death?"

"What does it matter if I live or die? What difference will there be between living ten thousand years and now?"

Lu Qing was so angry that she burst into tears. "What are you talking about?! Is there only one reason for people to live? Xue Ren, how can I be so worthy of this? There are more than hundreds of millions of beautiful and talented women in this world. If you open your heart, there will be many lovely girls who are worthy of your love! You will have a wife and children in the future. By then, I, Lin Lu Qing, will be just a name to you, and you won't even be able to remember what I look like."
