"Yes, I know you. Hehe." Duoduo said with a smile.

Then Chen Xiaoqi quickly said, "I didn't realize that. I didn't feel that you admired me that much."

"Should I make it more obvious?" Duoduo, seeing this, quickly said.

Then Chen Xiaoqi laughed and said, "Haha, it's okay, it's okay, I know now, it's alright."

"Mmm." Duoduo nodded quickly.

Li Ran, watching the two of them chatting and laughing, felt happy too. Seeing Chen Xiaoqi so happy, he naturally felt relieved.

Then Li Ran continued, "By the way, I have something to tell you. One of our company's investors is a friend of mine, as Xiao Qi knows. But he's different from other investors; he doesn't like attending board meetings or anything like that. We just give him the dividends directly."

"Okay, sure," Duoduo nodded.

Then Li Ran quickly said, "Well, you don't need to tell him about any company meetings. He usually doesn't need to attend. Just notify him if there's anything important. So, Xiaoqi, you still need to make the decisions about the studio. If you have any uncertainties, you can think about it carefully, or ask someone with experience. I guess Chen Ling and I can't help you much."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about it. Although I have no experience running a company, I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, so I know a thing or two about the procedures." At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi quickly said.

Chapter 587 The Official Beginning 2

However, at that moment, after hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Li Ran quickly nodded. He naturally trusted Chen Xiaoqi, because Chen Xiaoqi was very smart, so Li Ran wasn't too worried about these things.

Then Li Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I believe you can do it."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely help you too." Duoduo quickly chimed in to Chen Xiaoqi at this moment.

Then Chen Xiaoqi, who was standing next to her, said, "Okay, thank you."

And so they continued eating while talking...

Before they knew it, a long time had passed, but Chen Xiaoqi and the others were still chatting enthusiastically, seemingly having forgotten all about it.

Much later, Li Ran realized it was very late, so he hurriedly went back to his company.

"Sister Xiaoqi, let me tell you, President Li is really good to you." After Li Ran left, Duoduo excitedly told Chen Xiaoqi.

"Hmm? How do you know?" Chen Xiaoqi asked Duoduo from the side.

Then Duoduo quickly said, "Isn't it because President Li took advantage of the lunch break to come and see you? Look, he rushed back right after the meal, didn't he? So, he's really good to you. I'm so happy for you."

"Haha, don't worry, you'll meet someone who treats you very well in the future." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile after hearing what Duoduo said.

Then Duoduo quickly added, "Yes, I know. I'm so outstanding, I'll definitely meet someone even better."

"What's better? How much better do you want to find?" Chen Xiaoqi asked quickly after hearing what Duoduo said.

"Huh? No, no. I didn't mean she's better than Mr. Li, I meant she's better than my ex-boyfriend. That's what I meant, Sister Xiaoqi, please don't misunderstand me." Duoduo quickly said at this moment.

Then Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Yes, yes, I believe you will meet a very good person. Don't worry, you definitely will. Just wait patiently, it may be a little later, but it will be better."

"Okay, sure. Hehe." Duoduo quickly chimed in at this moment.

Then, after Duoduo finished speaking, she turned and left. Duoduo was thinking that she still had some work to finish, so she prepared to go and take care of it.

"You're busy, so I'll be busy too." Chen Xiaoqi said to herself after watching Duoduo leave.

As Chen Xiaoqi spoke, she began to get busy...

However, Li Ran, on the other hand, had already headed straight back to the company at this time.

Li Ran quickly returned to the company and immediately got to work, getting busy. She still had some work to finish today, so she figured she'd have to work overtime tonight…

At this time, Chen Ling was not busy like Chen Xiaoqi and the others. The meeting in the morning had made it very clear that he was going to work on a project, and a very important one at that. Therefore, Chen Ling could not afford to be careless at this time.

Chen Ling was busy with project-related issues all afternoon. It wasn't until she was about to leave work in the evening that she looked up at her phone, tidied up, and then headed home...

"Ningxue, I'm home." Chen Ling called out to the living room as soon as he got home.

"Hey, where is everyone? Where did they all go?" After speaking, Chen Ling hurriedly walked towards the living room, but he neither heard Li Lili's reply nor saw her. So Chen Ling began to mutter to himself.

Then Chen Ling hurriedly walked towards the bedroom, but he still didn't see Li Lili after entering.

"That's really strange. Where did they go? Why aren't they home? They didn't even tell me." After checking around and finding that no one was home, Chen Ling started rambling again.

Then Chen Ling took out his phone again, preparing to call Li Lili and ask where they were...

Upon hearing the phone ring, Chen Ling immediately asked, "Hey, Ningxue, where are you? Why aren't you home?"

"Ah, we're out for dinner." Li Lili said somewhat awkwardly after hearing Chen Ling's voice.

"What? You went out to eat? Why didn't you tell me?" Chen Ling said hurriedly from the other end.

"Um, we didn't know you were coming back so early today. We thought you'd be back very late. Well then, we'll bring you some when we go back later," Li Lili said from the side.

Then Chen Ling replied calmly, "Hmm, no need. You guys eat out. I'll go out and get something to eat too."

"It's okay, I was just thinking of bringing you some anyway. Just wait at home for a bit, we'll be back soon. Okay?" Li Lili said again.

Then Chen Ling quickly replied, "Okay, do whatever you want."

Chen Ling then hung up the phone, and then sat down in the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching.

"What TV series is this? It's so boring." Chen Ling said angrily at this moment.

At this moment, Chen Ling was filled with mixed feelings, so he found fault with everything. He then started venting his anger on the television.

Then they saw Chen Ling angrily turn off the TV and start walking towards the refrigerator. It has to be admitted that Chen Ling was already hungry at this point.

But when Chen Ling got to the refrigerator, he found there was nothing to eat inside, which made him even more upset.

"Seriously, what the hell?" Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, inexplicably started to get angry again, and then walked straight towards the bedroom. At this moment, Chen Ling really wanted to lie down on the bed, close his eyes, and rest for a while.

Chapter 588 The Official Beginning 3

Chen Ling was panting heavily and looked extremely unhappy. The constant back-and-forth doing this and that only fueled his anger.

After quite some time, Chen Ling finally calmed down and his emotions subsided.

Just then, Li Lili and the others, who had been eating out, returned. After Li Lili returned, she first put down her bag and then immediately went to look for Chen Ling.

Then Li Lili smiled and said, "Chen Ling, dinner's ready."

Seeing that Chen Ling wasn't in the living room, Li Lili immediately headed towards the bedroom. She saw him talking as he walked.

"Chen Ling, dinner's ready." As soon as Li Lili entered the room, she immediately said to Chen Ling.

However, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, looked up at Li Lili after hearing what she said. Then he said, "I'm not hungry, I won't eat."

"Oh dear, I brought everything. Have some, okay? Alright, alright, don't be angry with me anymore. We just had nothing to do at home today, so we thought we'd go out for a meal. Really," Li Lili began to explain.

Then Chen Ling continued, "Yeah, do whatever you want, I'm fine. Just be happy. Don't worry about me."

"What do you mean we don't need to worry about you? Honestly. What nonsense are you talking about? Alright, stop getting angry with me. We really didn't expect you to come back so early. Don't you think so?" Just then, Li Lili spoke up again.

Then Chen Ling said calmly, "Yeah, it's okay. You guys eat, don't worry about me. I'm really not hungry anymore. I'm going to talk to you now, I'm sleepy, I'm going to rest."

"Are you sure you're not going to eat? Are you going to rest first?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling again.

"Yeah, I won't eat with you guys. I'm going to rest first. Oh, right. You've all already eaten, that's perfect. Go to sleep." Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, continued to speak at this moment.

Then, seeing Li Lili looking at Chen Ling, she didn't say anything more. After a moment of helplessness, she walked out.

After Li Lili left, Chen's mother immediately asked her, "What's wrong? Are you still sulking?"

"Yes, yeah. I'm still angry," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Sigh, it's all our fault, it's all our fault. We should have known better than to go out. Look how wronged he's been," Mrs. Chen said regretfully.

"Mom, don't overthink it. I don't know what Chen Ling is thinking. It's just a meal. I don't think it's a big deal. I don't know what he's thinking. Never mind. Let's not talk about him anymore. I'll clean up the food we brought back and put it in the refrigerator," Li Lili continued.

"Oh, okay, then put it in the fridge first. Anyway, Chen Ling isn't going to eat it. Ugh, really, how come this grown man has become so stingy? Ugh, I'm speechless. Oh well, if he doesn't want to eat it, he doesn't want to eat it. It's not us who's hungry. He'll start eating when he gets hungry. Let's just leave him be." Chen's mother said at this moment.

Then, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly added, "Sigh, isn't this all because we made a mistake? Our son rushed home excitedly after work to eat, but we had already eaten out, and no one was home. He was all alone. Of course, he was in a bad mood."

"But we've already explained it to him, and we've even brought him food. Sigh, really, I don't think it's a big deal at all. It's just that Chen Ling is stingy. Oh well, let's just leave him be. If he wants to go hungry, then he doesn't have to eat." Chen's mother said calmly.

"Alright, alright, Mom and Dad have had a long day, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go back and get some rest. I want to go back too," Li Lili quickly said from the side.

"Okay, then you can go back now. Good night," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Then Li Lili nodded and immediately went back.

However, after returning to her bedroom, Li Lili immediately began washing up. She finished quickly. But then, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. So, after gathering her emotions for a moment, she finally felt comfortable leaving the room.

After Li Lili left, he immediately lay down on the bed and closed his eyes...

However, Chen Ling had been observing Li Lili's reaction the whole time. When she saw Li Lili come out and immediately lie down to sleep, Chen Ling's anger grew even stronger.

Then Chen Ling was seen huffing and puffing, and he closed his eyes. Whether he fell asleep or not, no one knew...

The next day, when Chen Ling woke up, Li Lili had already gotten up. Seeing that Li Lili was no longer beside him, Chen Ling assumed it was very late. He quickly checked the time and, finding it was still early, slowly got up.

After Chen Ling got up, he washed up and then headed towards the living room. Chen Xiaoqi's studio was starting work today, and Chen Ling wanted to go check it out, so naturally, his mother and the others went along as well.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad," Chen Ling said as soon as he entered the living room.

"Good morning, you're up," Mr. Chen replied.

"Mhm." Chen Ling nodded.

"Xiaoxue is cooking in the kitchen," Chen's mother said, looking at Chen Ling.

Then Chen Ling said with a smile, "Xiao Qi's studio is opening today. Let's go there at ten o'clock."

"Okay, sure," Chen's mother quickly replied. Chen Xiaoqi had already told them about this yesterday...

"Okay, let's go there after we eat. I'll go check on Ningxue first," Chen Ling said at this moment. Then, as he spoke, Chen Ling started walking towards the kitchen…

After Chen Ling entered the kitchen, he softly called out, "Ningxue."

At this moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, also turned his attention to his mother's food, because he hadn't eaten Li Lili's cooking for a long time and was very curious about the taste of this meal.

However, at that moment, they saw Chen's mother swallow a bite of food, then immediately shake her head and say with a look of enjoyment, "Mmm...it's really delicious."
