Spontaneous Combustion

Ruan Wei was knocked unconscious by two taels of white wine, and fell asleep in the dark, and the thunderstorm in the middle of the night failed to wake him up.

The next morning, he was woken up by Shen Tingmo to have breakfast in a daze.

"Grass, where's my alarm clock?"

Ruan Wei saw the clear blue sky outside the window, and her first reaction was that she was going to be late for work.

Shen Tingmo handed him the mobile phone on the bedside table, turned on the screen, it was seven fifty, it was still early.

Five seconds later, Ruan Wei came to his senses: he has lost his job.

Realizing that she didn't have to get up early to take the subway to work today, Ruan Wei's first reaction was ecstasy.

Don't have to move the goods anymore?

No need to look for the unit door in the community under the scorching sun?

Don't have to deal with troublesome and difficult customers?

It turns out that happiness can be so simple and real.

"I'm free!"

Ruan Wei jumped up from the bed in a jerk, bouncing around hugging the pillow.

Shen Tingmo's expression was confused: "What do you mean you are free?"

"Are you a caveman? You don't even understand this meme?"

Ruan Wei hugged Shen Tingmo's neck and shook from side to side: "I'mfree! It means I'm free!"

"You resigned?" Shen Tingmo supported his narrow waist, while being surprised, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Tingmo didn't want Ruan Wei to engage in physical work, but because of the other party's self-esteem, he never brought it up.

"I was fired by my father," Ruan Wei said with a smile, "The chairman personally came to fire the squid, the crowd is huge."

"...That's fine," Shen Tingmo said, "Take a break first, and enjoy your vacation."

Ruan Wei didn't know what to think, she squinted at him, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "I have become a vagrant, what should I do if I have no income, will the landlord drive me out to sleep on the street?"

Knowing that Ruan Wei was teasing him on purpose again, Shen Tingmo simply pressed him against the bedside and kissed him for a while, before reluctantly letting go: "The porridge is getting cold, stop making trouble, get up quickly."

There is a long tail hanging from the deep voice, which is extraordinarily seductive.

Ruan Wei wiped the corners of her bright red lips, her chest heaved rapidly, her eyes were wet, and she did not forget to say:

"It turns out that the rent can be paid by flesh, let me tell you earlier."

Shen Tingmo went out to work, Ruan Weilai fiddled with the mobile phone on the sofa, pursed his lips and thought for a few minutes, and finally made a call.

After finishing the call, Ruan Wei got up quickly, went to the bathroom to tidy up in front of the mirror, chose a smart suit, and went out to take a taxi in high spirits.

The rain washed over the sky at night, and the sun was shining brightly outside. During non-peak hours, the online car-hailing car went smoothly all the way. After 10 minutes, it stopped in front of a 5A-grade office building in the city center.

Ruan Wei raised his hand to build a tent between his eyebrows, looked up, and saw four domineering silver-gray characters vertically lined up on the top of the building - Qiling Industry.

Qiling Industry, Qi's property, the place where his mother Qi Yun used to work.

Ruan Wei confirmed the appointment with the front desk, walked through the crowded lobby, and took the elevator to the top floor of the building. He and his uncle agreed to meet in the office.

Qi Fengnian is the elder brother of Qi Yun's mother and compatriots, the eldest in the family, and the current helm of the Qi family.

The previous head of the family was Ruan Wei's grandfather. Since he lost his beloved daughter, he has faded out of the management for more than a year. With the excuse of retiring for retirement, he closed the door to heal his heartache at home.

Ruan Wei found his uncle's office, and there was already a secretary waiting outside, who knocked on the door and ushered him in.

It is said that a nephew looks like an uncle, and Ruan Wei's appearance is five points similar to Qi Fengnian's. This uncle has always loved Ruan Wei very much, almost protecting and doting on his heart.

Seeing the person coming, Qi Fengnian greeted him from behind the seat, put his hands on Ruan Wei's arm and looked at it for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm a little fatter than before."

Ruan Wei raised his arm, showing off his biceps, "Uncle, a man can't say he's fat, he has to say he's strong!"

Qi Fengnian rubbed his head, fiddling with it fondly:

"Come on, you are at most a half-child with your uncle. When you get married and start a business, you will be considered a real man."

Ruan Wei's eyes lit up: "Uncle, I came to you, isn't it just to establish a career?"

Qi Fengnian straightened up when he heard the words: "Have you considered it?"

"Well, I've thought about it for a long time. This is the most suitable thing for me, and it's also the thing I want to do the most."

After Ruan Wei nodded, both of them fell into silence by coincidence.

This is a silent tacit understanding between relatives.

A son who lost his mother, and an elder brother who lost his sister, both have just come out of the shadow of great pain, and they cannot give each other proper comfort.

The reason why Ruan Wei came to find his uncle was related to his mother.

He wanted to take over Qi Yun's work, join Qi's Charity Fund, and continue his mother's career.

Qi Fengnian let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice, "I've been blaming myself all the time. The thing I regret most in my life is letting your mother marry the Ruan family..."

"Uncle..." The corners of Ruan Wei's mouth drooped, not knowing how to avoid this heavy topic.

Qi Fengnian touched his cheek: "But I'm also very grateful, she left you in this wrong marriage, at least you are right, Wei Zai, you are a good boy in our family."

"Don't be sad, Uncle, let my mother know that we stay here all day to hurt the spring and the autumn, and she doesn't have a peaceful life there."

Ruan Wei forced a smile and then said solemnly:

"I will continue my mother's unfinished business, let her see that I am living a good life, plan my future well, and make her proud of me."

"Okay," Qi Fengnian blinked the corners of his reddened eyes, and quickly restrained his emotions: "Look at me, I'm not as sensible as our Wei cub."

"For such a big boss, efficiency should be the most important thing," Ruan Wei pretended to be disgusted: "Hurry up and get down to business."

"It's just that you dare to argue with uncle," Qi Fengnian smiled helplessly and shook his head, and handed over the materials prepared in advance on the table to Ruan Wei:

"Take it back and take a look. I will report to the foundation next Monday. Now a professional manager is hired to take care of it. I will notify you in advance."

Ruan Wei casually flipped through two pages with downcast eyes, raised her head and said, "Uncle, let's agree first, I'm not going to be a parachutist, I should start from the grassroots and follow the rules."

Qi Fengnian was stunned: "Are you sure?"

Ruan Wei affirmed: "Well, the management is not suitable for me now. I want to follow in my mother's footsteps and go to the front line to take a look."

"Okay," Qi Fengnian readily agreed, "Uncle is very pleased that you can have your own ideas."

"That `s a deal."

Before leaving, Qi Fengnian called Ruan Wei again, and confessed: "The production of ○攉攉哪喀

"Go back and see grandpa when you have time, he also misses you."

"Well, I'll go as soon as the report is over."

Ruan Wei came back from the city center, read the materials of the Foundation, and took a nap.

It was just after four o'clock when he woke up, and the sun was still shining outside the window.

Working days with nothing to do, and no one to accompany, is really a bit boring.

Ruan Wei wandered to the kitchen, took an apple from the refrigerator, and held it in his mouth. Seeing that the fresh-keeping layer was full of ingredients, he had an idea.

How about cooking a meal for Shen Tingmo?

Shen Tingmo usually cooks, and Ruan Wei wants to reciprocate. She always has to do more work at home when she is free, so she can take the opportunity to please the landlord.

The young master is bold and ambitious, he thinks it out as soon as he thinks it out, regardless of whether he has experience or not, he rolls up his sleeves and starts to prepare.

Ruan Wei flicked back and forth on the phone screen, and clicked on a video titled [Xiaobai can also learn quickly, super delicious and super simple].

The cover picture is the finished state of this delicacy——

A plate of beef curry rice with rich ingredients, bright color and mouth-watering.

Ruan Wei rubbed his chin, that's all.

The mobile phone was placed next to the cooking table, playing a detailed video tutorial from a food blogger.

Ruan Wei's eyes and brain: I will!

Hands: No, you won't.

After more than ten minutes, Ruan Wei cut carrots, potatoes and tomatoes into square cubes. This step is quite simple.

But the beef fiber is tight, and Ruan Wei has no knives, so he almost chopped it into pieces.

Ruan Wei cut a few gaps on a good chopping board, with bright red pieces of meat flying all over the place, giving it a sense of déjà vu from a crime scene.

The last side dish is onion. Ruan Wei rummaged around in the refrigerator, only to find a wilted onion head, poked it with his finger, it was still elastic, and it should still be usable.

By the time all the ingredients were ready to be put into the pot, Ruan Wei had already been smothered in tears from the onion, with a miserable face.

"Crap, Xiaobai can get started quickly as promised."

When Ruan Wei poured oil into the pot according to the steps in the video, she couldn't help complaining.

He slowly poured the beef on the cutting board into the pot, the hot oil sizzled, and the delicious smell of meat immediately wafted out.

Ruan Wei moved the tip of her nose, and felt that cooking was not as difficult as imagined.

The food blogger shared a detailed tutorial at the nanny level. Ruan Wei followed the video step by step and completed all the steps stumbled.

Facing the mushy mass of suspicious color and shape in the pot, Ruan Wei quickly made a judgment:

Ripe, edible, perfect.

Ruan Wei poured the cooked curry sauce into a large bowl and heated up the leftover rice from last night in the rice cooker.

After everything was done, Young Master Ruan felt good about himself, even a little ecstatic:

With a caring roommate like me, Director Shen must be overwhelmed.

When Shen Tingmo came home, he was really touched when he saw the curry rice on the table and Ruan Wei wearing an apron.

There was an expression of surprise and surprise on that unsmiling face.

"self-made?"

"Ang," Ruan Wei almost raised his tail to the sky.

Shen Tingmo quickly changed into home clothes, washed his hands and sat down at the table, eager to try.

"Let's start," Ruan Wei took the lead to pick up the spoon, scooped up a large spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sticky curry wraps the rice grains, the seasonal vegetables and beef are stewed rottenly, it melts in the mouth, and the slightly hot sauce fills the mouth.

As for the taste, how would you describe it?

It's okay, but nothing special.

It's like a ten-yuan boxed lunch on the street, which can barely satisfy your hunger, but it has nothing to do with the taste, it can only be said to be moderately salty.

Ruan Wei is not picky about food, and immediately puts herself into cooking mode, burying her head in showing off.

He thought, let's keep the matter of the foundation secret first, and then tell Shen Tingmo after the dust settles.

Shen Tingmo, who was sitting opposite him at the opposite end of the dining table, was also eating quietly without making any noise, which was a bit too quiet.

It took Ruan Wei a while to realize, and when she looked up, she saw that Shen Tingmo's eyes were a little red.

"What's wrong?" Ruan Wei wondered, "This curry powder is not spicy."

"It's nothing, I accidentally choked it," Shen Tingmo lowered his eyelashes, pretending to be nonchalant.

It's not that Shen Tingmo is sentimental, it's just that the scene in front of him is too sweet.

Although the food made by Ruan Wei is not delicious, it gives him the feeling of home.

Home and family is a dream that Shen Tingmo has been elusive for many years.

Mr. Shen: What time do you go home with such a wife?
