"Yes, it's not just those plates, they're also shouting nonstop." Chen Xiaoqi said helplessly.

"Huh?" Li Ran asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's terrifying," Chen Xiaoqi said helplessly.

Just then, Li Ran couldn't help but laugh...

"Hmm, how did I fall asleep here?" Mr. Xu, lying on the sofa, mumbled sleepily.

"It's all because you drank too much and were throwing a tantrum on the floor. Xiaoqi and I had to carry you up here," Li Ran said quickly after hearing President Xu's voice.

"You're exaggerating. That's impossible. We've known each other for so long, don't you know me? I have excellent drinking manners. When I'm drunk, I never talk much, let alone roll around on the ground," Mr. Xu said seriously.

“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, just look for yourself. Look under the table, at the plates you smashed. We haven’t cleaned them up. We’re just waiting for you to wake up so we can tell you,” Li Ran quickly added.

“Yes, I was afraid you wouldn’t admit it, so I deliberately preserved the scene.” At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Oh, this is really embarrassing. It's the first time I've met your wife, and this has happened. I'm so sorry," said Mr. Xu, looking embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll just pretend I didn't know anything and didn't see anything," Chen Xiaoqi quickly said upon seeing this.

"Haha, you're quite humorous," Mr. Xu said with a laugh.

"It's alright. Haha." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile upon seeing this.

However, at this moment, Li Ran said, "Alright, now that you're awake, it's about time for us to head back."

"Why are you going back so early? It's only a few o'clock. Why don't you play a little longer?" Mr. Xu said quickly after hearing this.

"We can't play anymore, we've already wasted too much time. I already told my parents that I would go home early after I finished. It's already past three, almost four o'clock. It's about time to go home." Li Ran explained from the side.

"Alright then, since you have things to do, I won't keep you any longer. You can come back for dinner when you have time, or we can go out together," Mr. Xu said again.

“Okay, we’ll be going now,” Li Ran continued.

"Alright, let's go. I'll see you off," Mr. Xu said, nodding.

Li Ran then pulled Chen Xiaoqi outside, and President Xu followed them, intending to see them off.

When they reached the door, Li Ran turned back to President Xu and said, "Okay, you can go back now. We're leaving too."

Chapter 444 Fast Pace Begins

After hearing what Li Ran said, President Xu didn't stand on ceremony with him. He then waved to Li Ran and Chen Xiaoqi, signaling them to go back.

"Then let's go back," Chen Xiaoqi said at this moment.

"Okay. Be careful on the road," Mr. Xu said again.

However, at that moment, Li Ran pulled Chen Xiaoqi and started walking outside, while President Xu, who was standing nearby, also started going back inside.

"My parents must be worried by now," Chen Xiaoqi said as soon as she got into the car.

"That shouldn't be the case, otherwise they would have called us. They know we have something to do today, so they won't say anything," Li Ran said from the side.

"I hope so," Chen Xiaoqi said, nodding.

Then Li Ran said, "I guess Lao Xu is really heartbroken today. Otherwise, even if he drinks a lot, he wouldn't lose control."

"That's probably it. I've been holding it in for so long, and today I finally got to have a few drinks with you, so my emotions were probably quite volatile. In the end, after drinking a lot, I stopped holding it in," Chen Xiaoqi guessed.

"That's possible. Sigh, Lao Xu was a good person, kind-hearted. It's such a pity. But someone suitable for him will come along in the future," Li Ran said with a sigh.

After hearing what Li Ran said, Chen Xiaoqi turned to look at Li Ran, but did not say anything more.

However, after Li Ran and Chen Xiaoqi left, President Xu began tidying up the room. The dishes on the table had already been cleaned up by Chen Xiaoqi, but the crumbs from the plate under the table were still there.

Mr. Xu looked at the things on the ground and picked them up one by one, but in his heart, he was wondering what was going on? Why did he lose control of his emotions? When Mr. Xu thought about this, he shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "Sigh, whatever, let it be. I'm too lazy to think about these things anymore."

The next day, after Li Ran and Chen Xiaoqi got up, they began preparing to go their separate ways.

"I have to go to work today, so I won't go with you," Li Ran said to Chen Xiaoqi as she got up.

“Okay, no problem. We don’t need to lift a finger. You go to the company and get busy. I’ll contact you if anything comes up,” Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Mmm," Li Ran nodded in agreement.

Then Li Ran and Chen Xiaoqi carried Qingqing to eat. They finished their meal quickly after a short while.

"Mom, I'm taking Xiaoqi with me now," Li Ran said quickly after finishing her meal.

"You go first, don't come to see me off, otherwise you'll have to pick me up, which isn't on your way and is too much trouble. I can go by myself later," Chen Xiaoqi said to Li Ran.

"Okay, then I'll leave you be. I'm going now." Li Ran glanced at Qingqing beside him and then spoke again.

"Okay," Chen Xiaoqi nodded.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving now," Li Ran said to her parents.

"Okay, let's go." Mr. and Mrs. Li said in unison.

Then Li Ran said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Stay with Qingqing a little longer, I'm leaving now."

Then Li Ran waved to Qingqing again and said gently, "Qingqing, I'm leaving now."

"Say goodbye to Daddy." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile, holding Qingqing's little hand.

"Be careful on the road," Chen Xiaoqi told Li Ran.

Li Ran then went out to work, and Chen Xiaoqi followed suit a while later.

"Mom and Dad, I should be heading over soon. I'll leave Qingqing in your care," Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy," Mr. Li said.

Chen Xiaoqi then packed her things and prepared to leave.

Chen Xiaoqi's car was always driven very slowly. It took almost an hour to reach the studio.

Not long after Chen Xiaoqi arrived, the renovation team also came.

The person in charge first communicated with Chen Xiaoqi, and then construction began.

"We're operating at a fast pace now. Once we've finalized an agreement here, we start working on it there," the person in charge said to Chen Xiaoqi with a smile.

"Yes, yes, that's a good approach. People's lives are fast-paced these days, and efficiency greatly affects our lives," Chen Xiaoqi quickly added.

"Yes, the pace of city life is too fast these days, we have no choice but to speed things up as well," the person in charge continued.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi nodded, indicating her agreement with what the person in charge said.

However, at this moment, the person in charge continued, "I've noticed that you look quite like a celebrity."

"Haha, really?" Chen Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and then asked casually.

"Hmm, there is a resemblance. She's the actress from the TV series, what's her name again? Chen, Chen Xiaoqi. Yes, that's her. You two look quite alike." The person in charge racked their brains trying to recall the actress's name. So they continued.

"Haha, quite a few people say we look alike," Chen Xiaoqi said deliberately.

“Right, I think it looks pretty similar,” the person in charge continued.

"Mmm." Chen Xiaoqi nodded and then left again.

After Chen Xiaoqi turned around, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I hope everything will be better than I expected," Chen Xiaoqi murmured to herself.

"Hello." Just then, Li Ran called. Chen Xiaoqi quickly answered the phone.

"Hey, how's it going on your end?" Li Ran asked.

"That's great, construction has already started." Chen Xiaoqi turned to look at the situation behind her, and then spoke up.

"How did they get started so quickly? I thought they were just going to take a look today. I didn't expect them to get started so fast." Li Ran asked in surprise.

“Yes, I was curious at first too. But they said that the pace of city life is very fast now, so their work efficiency is also very fast. But that’s really true, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to keep up,” Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Okay, then you keep an eye on things there for now. I'll come find you when I'm done," Li Ran continued.

Chapter 445 The Business World is Like a Battlefield 1

Chen Xiaoqi was taken aback when she heard Li Ran's words. That morning, she had specifically told Li Ran not to see her off, as it would be troublesome to pick her up again that evening. How could Li Ran have forgotten that so quickly?

"No need, didn't we just say this morning that we're not going that way, so you don't need to come looking for me?" Chen Xiaoqi said.

"Alright then, remember to call me if anything happens," Li Ran said, still worried.

"Okay, I understand," Chen Xiaoqi quickly replied.

Chen Xiaoqi then hung up the phone and began to monitor the progress of the renovation.

At this point, Chen Xiaoqi realized that they were indeed working at a fast pace and quickly, but fortunately, the quality was not compromised.

"If you're tired, you can come down and rest for a while, or come over for some water," Chen Xiaoqi said as she opened the door.

"Okay," they said.

Chen Xiaoqi then found a place to sit down.

Chen Ling arrived at the company at this time. Liu Yuyang had been busy with the bidding for the past few days, and today he finally made progress.

When Chen Ling arrived at the company, he saw Liu Yuyang coming over to report to him.

"How's it going?" Chen Ling thought to himself, the bidding time was almost up, so he asked.

"Yes, that's why I came here. The bidding process has been finalized, this Friday," Liu Yuyang said, looking at Chen Ling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately asked, "How are your preparations going? Are you confident?"

"Yeah, it's alright," Liu Yuyang nodded.

"What the hell is this, bro?" Chen Ling said helplessly, looking at Liu Yuyang's expression.

"Haha, it's alright, it's fine, um, nothing's wrong, everything's under control." Liu Yuyang said again.

"What's all the fuss about? Really." Chen Ling said to Liu Yuyang speechlessly.

"Don't worry, I know how important this project is to the company, and we can't afford to relax for a moment. By the way, everyone in our company is working like crazy right now; some people are even working overtime on the weekend." Just then, Liu Yuyang spoke up again.

"Really? Why are they working overtime here on the weekend? It's completely unnecessary." Chen Ling asked doubtfully.

"Why wouldn't it be necessary? We need to find customers," Liu Yuyang said casually.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling felt very gratified, and then said, "Well, this is good too. Haha."
