First spoiled, then love

Chapter 39 Kiss

Chen Qingrong pursed his lips, sat up straight, and said seriously, "I was wrong, Director. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have suddenly said good night to you just now, causing you to be misunderstood by your best friend."

Tang Xiaoru nodded in satisfaction. "That's good enough. Okay, go to bed early. Before I get up tomorrow, I want to see you get up and make the sofa ready."

Chen Qingrong said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely do it. Director, you should also go to bed early."

"Never mind the pretty girl."

"..."

Tang Xiaoru turned around and was about to go back to the bedroom, but suddenly she thought of something and stopped.

"Are you sure you have a cold today?"

Chen Qingrong's mouth twitched.

No, elder sister, why are you still thinking about this matter?

Is this important to you?
Chen Qingrong quickly said, "I did catch a cold, but I'm fine now. It wasn't a severe cold to begin with, and I took some medicine before going to bed last night."

"Oh." Tang Xiaoru suddenly pointed at Chen Qingrong's feet, "Pull your feet back, I want to sit."

"Ah good."

Chen Qingrong quickly pulled the quilt away and moved his feet back.

He was still smiling awkwardly, "My feet shouldn't stink, right?"

"It doesn't smell strange." Tang Xiaoru pursed her lips and looked at him again. "The group leaders are going to select the leadership recently. Do you have any ideas?"

Chen Qingrong was stunned and laughed at himself, "I'm just a lousy PPT writer. What ideas can I have? Shouldn't this be something that leaders like you should consider? It has nothing to do with me."

"Then the second thing I'm going to talk about should be related to you."

"What's going on?"

"I got inside information that the company is going to lay off employees." Tang Xiaoru picked up the pillow and placed it behind her back, leaned her head against it, and crossed her legs comfortably.

She usually doesn't cross her legs in front of other people, as it would damage her image.

But what can I say about Chen Qingrong's current identity? It's a bit special. He is her fake boyfriend and he even stayed overnight at her house. Therefore, it is not a big deal to expose one's true nature in front of Chen Qingrong appropriately.

"Layoffs?" Chen Qingrong was confused. "Why are they laying off employees out of nowhere?"

When people reach middle age, the thing they fear most, besides the death of their parents, is company layoffs.

The overall economic environment is getting worse and worse. It is difficult to find a job, especially a job that satisfies you in all aspects.

If you are married again and have a mortgage and car loan, you will be even more afraid of losing your job easily.

Some people say deposits.

How much money can you deposit?

Unless you are from the high-tech class with an annual income of millions, or a senior white-collar worker in a normal large company, 20,000 yuan a month is not enough to live in a big city like Shanghai.

Not to mention supporting your wife and children, the various fees and loans you have to pay every month alone can make you feel suffocated.

Chen Qingrong is better off now. He is not married and has not bought a car or a house. His biggest expenses every month are actually rent and action figures.

He rarely buys action figures nowadays.

But even so, he was still shocked when he heard that the company was going to lay off employees.

Tang Xiaoru casually said, "The company is in a recession, so we have to lay off employees to increase revenue and cut costs. This is a situation I had envisioned last year, but it came a little later than I expected."

"Then, will I be laid off?" Chen Qingrong asked tentatively.

Tang Xiaoru glanced at him and said, "I don't know about that. HR is responsible for layoffs. I just got the news from insiders, and it hasn't been announced yet." "In theory, every department in the company will have to lay off employees. I can't decide how many people to lay off and who to lay off."

Chen Qingrong said with a flattering smile, "Then can't you just protect me forcibly? After all, I am also your fake boyfriend."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes beautifully, "You want me to help you open the back door? No, if this hole is opened, what will happen?"

Chen Qingrong pouted and simply gave up. "Fine, whether I can be laid off or not, I will just work normally. If I really get laid off, I won't be able to hide."

"If you are really laid off, what are you going to do next?"

"How about you, Director?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled but said nothing.

Chen Qingrong then realized what a stupid question he had asked. "I am an idiot. Not to mention that you probably won't be laid off, even if you are, there are companies vying for you. You don't have to worry about this problem at all."

Experienced management is very popular in the industry now.

This is why many companies, when recruiting, will give priority to those with three to five years of work experience.

This is also the reason why many college graduates find it difficult to find jobs.

You have just graduated, your head is full of book knowledge, but you have no practical experience. Who would want to hire you?
Unless you graduated from a prestigious university, then it's easy.

Tang Xiaoru smiled faintly and asked, "What about you?"

Chen Qingrong thought for a moment, "I should go back to my hometown and accept my parents' arrangement to go on a blind date and get married. My parents are just like yours, and they have been urging me to find a partner and get married. After all, in the countryside, people my age already have children in kindergarten."

Tang Xiaoru was inexplicably unhappy. "A man should establish a career before starting a family. You haven't even established a career yet, so how can you start a family? You've been in a big city for a few years, don't you understand this?"

"I understand, but even though I understand, I can't change my parents' ideas. Just like you, the director, you can't change your uncles and aunts' ideas."

"At least I didn't obey blindly."

"Then why did you ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

"Chen Qingrong."

"I'm here!"

"Do you like to talk back?" She turned around and glanced at Chen Qingrong.

Her rosy lips were blingbling and her two beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Usually at times like this, Chen Qingrong would give in.

But for some reason, this time his attention was all drawn to Tang Xiaoru's lips.

Then he did something that he would never have thought of doing.

He kissed Tang Xiaoru directly on the lips.

Tang Xiaoru froze.

So is Chen Qingrong himself.

So this is what the first kiss in the spoiler text means!
But why did I take the initiative?
"What are you doing!" Tang Xiaoru pushed Chen Qingrong away angrily, her face turning red and green.

Chen Qingrong then realized that he had gotten into trouble, and quickly tried to explain, "I, I, I talked back!"

Tang Xiaoru, "???"

"Director, please don't be angry. I just said the wrong thing. Give me a minute and I will definitely be able to think of a reasonable explanation. Director, I..."

"Get out of here!"
