Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Eh?

Why are the lights on?

Is there a thief?

The boy was suspicious at first, but quickly denied it.

Who is the thief who steals things on New Year's Eve? He's so ungrateful.

Could that be...

Xu Cheng took out his cell phone and dialed Lin Wanzhou's number.

"Hey?"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Wanchu's voice sounded a little nervous.

"Are you off work?"

"I just got off and parked the car now. Have you eaten?"

"just eaten."

"What to eat?"

"Well... my mom made handmade glutinous rice balls, and... stewed pork ribs with lotus root, stir-fried shrimp with broccoli, and grilled chicken wings with honey sauce... I ate so much that I was really full."

"???"

Xu Cheng immediately confirmed his suspicion.

They are truly a couple, even they can make up exactly the same lies.

"Well, I'll be home soon. I'm already in the elevator."

"So fast!"

The girl exclaimed, and there were more clanking sounds on the other end of the phone. Xu Cheng could still hear Lin Wanzhou running in a hurry.

"What are you doing?"

"No, it's nothing. I'll hang up first, Dududu."

A blind tone came from the other end of the phone. Xu Cheng shook his head and smiled. He waited at the elevator door for a while, leaving the girl enough time before pressing the button and getting on the elevator.

When I opened the door, the room was dark.

He turned on the light, glanced towards the living room, and immediately saw the sumptuous dishes on the coffee table.

Lotus root stewed with pork ribs, broccoli fried with shrimp, honey grilled chicken wings...

It turned out to be no lie.

Lin Wanzhu also jumped out from behind the table on the side.

"Aww!"

"Scared you!"

Xu Cheng's acting skills were poor and he jumped a little bit.

"Wow, it's so scary. Why are you back in the Magic City?"

"What? You weren't scared at all." Lin Wanzhou curled her lips and didn't answer Xu Cheng's question. She asked, "Why are you off work at this time? I heated up the dishes several times but you still haven't come."

During this winter vacation, she had practiced cooking with her mother for a month, and this was the first time she showed off her cooking skills in front of Xu Cheng.

"I'm going to cook the glutinous rice balls made by my mother, and then we can start dinner."

The girl is wearing an apron, looking like a busy little cook.

She ran towards the kitchen, but was hugged from behind by Xu Cheng.

"Lin Wanzhu, I'm very happy to have you here."

"Humph, I knew it would be uncomfortable for you to be alone, so I took the high-speed rail here this afternoon."

Xu Cheng hugged her again, hugging her even tighter, and buried his head tiredly next to the girl's fair neck.

"Happy New Year. Although I have said this to many people today, this blessing for you is the greatest."

"Hey, it's too early to tell now. I'll wait until after 12 o'clock."

"More? How many more times?"

Lin Wanzhou thought for a while.

"Eight is more auspicious. Since you've already mentioned it once, I'll ask for it again tonight..."

"Seven times."

……

Chapter 430: This life is for you, this life is like this

"This is not fair!"

Qiao Yiming shouted into the phone.

"Why did you transfer me away from Yanjing? Isn't it my fault that Weibo has achieved such results? Also, why did you ask me to leave the R&D department? I have never been involved in the work of the marketing department."

The person in charge of human resources on the other end of the phone just gave a weak reply.

"This is what Mr. Xu meant. If you have any opinions, you can contact him directly..."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yiming sat in the driver's seat with a gloomy face, holding the phone and resting his arm on the steering wheel, and didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong with Yiming?"

Shan Xuechun on the side was concerned.

Qiao Yiming did not return to Jinghai this winter, and Shan Xuechun was a native of Yanjing. When he had free time, he would come to see Qiao Yiming from time to time.

"Xu Cheng asked me to go to Shanghai, to the marketing department..."

"what!"

Shan Xuechun's voice suddenly rose, "That's too much. You're still studying in Yanjing, how could he transfer you to the Magic City? Even though you're on leave now, you can't just run that far away like that."

"Say it's temporary."

"That's too much for now. Xu Cheng is definitely targeting you. I think you are too nice. You tried to save his face, but he didn't give you any face at all. My first impression of Xu Cheng is that he is a mean person..."

"boom."

Qiao Yiming slammed the window and looked at the girl on the passenger side impatiently.

"Shan Xuechun, have I ever warned you not to say such things?"

"Qiao Yiming!"

Shan Xuechun put on a very aggrieved look, "Yes, it's him who is good. Xu Cheng is good in everything, but I am the one who harmed you."

"…I'm sorry, Senior. I was in a bad mood just now."

Qiao Yiming pulled Shan Xuechun's arm, but Shan Xuechun pushed it away.

"My surname is Qiao, can you have some potential? Someone has told you to go out and work alone. Now Xu Cheng has started to treat you like this. Why are you still working under him?"

"..."

Qiao Yiming looked in front of the car window in silence.

The traffic flowed like a weave, but dispersed left and right at the intersection, rejoining the new river, and running towards unknown distances.

"I'll think about it again."

……

Late May.

Magic City.

Qingzhou Company.

Xu Cheng was sitting in the office, holding a pen and writing something at his desk, when Bian Zixin, the manager of the human resources department, walked in.

"Mr. Xu."

"what happened?"

Xu Cheng raised his head and glanced at her. Bian Zixin was a little nervous and hesitantly lectured Xu Cheng.

"Just now, Mr. Qiao Yiming submitted his resignation application."

"Resign?"

Xu Cheng's hand holding the pen paused.

"Yes, it is."

Bian Zixin was obviously a little nervous. "Not only did CEO Qiao submit his resignation, but also Xing Changfeng, Lu Yijiang, and others from the R&D department also submitted their resignation applications."

Bian Zixin read a dozen names in a row, but in the end she was afraid that Xu Cheng would get angry, so she said a rather vague "Waiting for someone."

Xu Cheng put down the pen in his hand.

"Is there a list? Let me take a look."

Bian Zixin hurriedly handed over the document in his hand. Xu Cheng glanced at it briefly and chuckled.

"Okay, all the people who left are technical backbones."

Bian Zixin did not dare to reply.

These people on the list can basically be said to be the foundation of Qingzhou's R&D department. This resignation is basically equivalent to half of the R&D department leaving, which means that half of the foundation is missing.

"I understand, you go to work first."

Xu Cheng said lightly, and Bian Zixin quickly left his office, leaving Xu Cheng alone.

"Sister Bian, what's Mr. Xu's reaction?"

"Yes, yes, what did Mr. Xu say?"

"What Mr. Qiao did was too unethical."

"Is Mr. Xu angry?"

As soon as she went out, a large group of people surrounded Bian Zixin, and she quickly made a booing gesture.

"It's over, it's over. Mr. Xu didn't say anything. You guys are too brave. You dare to eat the boss's melons."

Xu Cheng was not very angry, but he basically never came out of the office that afternoon. Until the last employee who worked overtime left the company, he found that the lights in Xu Cheng's office were still on.

I didn't dare to say hello, so I went straight to the elevator and met a pretty girl with a lunch box in her hand.

"Hello, I would like to ask Xu Cheng whether Mr. Xu is still in the company?"

"Here I am."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Wanchu entered the company, followed his memory, and soon arrived at the door of Xu Cheng's office, with light shining through the crack in the door.

She opened the door gently. The young man was still sitting at his desk, writing and drawing. When he heard someone opening the door, he raised his head, with a look of tiredness on his face.

"Why are you here?" Xu Cheng's voice was a little surprising.

"I see you haven't gotten off work yet... I don't know if you've eaten yet..." Lin Wanzhou picked up the lunch box in his hand and put it on the coffee table in the office. "This is a new dish I learned. Want to try it out to see if it's poisonous?"

"Why is it called a poison test?"

Xu Cheng stood up from his seat, held his stomach and sat on the sofa next to the coffee table, "I think your cooking is delicious. I'm just a little hungry. Lin Wanzhou, you came just in time."

"Hey, let's drink some soup first."

The girl opened the lunch box, took out the layer containing the soup, and helped Xu Cheng carry the soup over.

It was seaweed and egg drop soup, which was a little cold, but Xu Cheng seemed to have never eaten anything. He held the lunch box and drank it all in a few sips.

"Slow down, it's all over the table." Lin Wanzhou took out a tissue and helped Xu Cheng wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Wanzhu, you are becoming more and more virtuous now."
