124: Quality of the inspection bed

Binjiang No. 1.

Chen Qiu, who had just arrived not long ago, soon welcomed Yan Baiwei.

She was wrapped in a mist-gray cashmere coat, with a loose cream-colored scarf around her neck.

A high-neck sweater made her neck appear slender, and black straight-leg trousers were paired with matte ankle boots.

She was also carrying a large bag of things.

"Quickly put this in the fridge, it'll soften later."

As soon as she entered the door, Baiwei handed the large bag to Chen Qiu.

Chen Qiu opened it and was slightly stunned.

Dumplings!

Quite a lot!

And... he took out a small packet of filling and dumpling wrappers from it, looking at Baiwei with a hint of surprise.

"Why are there also dumpling wrappers and filling?"

As soon as he spoke, Baiwei looked at Chen Qiu strangely instead.

"Didn't you not believe me and insist that I make them for you on the spot?"

She stood with her hands on her hips, a hint of faint pride in her cool demeanor.

"Are you looking down on me? It's not too late to apologize now!"

Chen Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's just making dumplings, he can even make wontons, the kind he taught himself!

"I'm sorry, I underestimated Class Monitor!"

"Who told Class Monitor to be so cool and beautiful, with such slender, fair, and tender hands? They don't look like hands that do housework at all!"

Chen Qiu said, and casually squeezed Baiwei's small hand.

Fair and smooth, seemingly without much flesh, yet when delicately played with, it felt soft and boneless.

Baiwei felt a bit helpless at his words; was he praising her or belittling her?

And, just talk, why are you still holding my hand!

Baiwei's pretty face flushed slightly, vaguely sensing something, and she turned her head to speak.

"I should probably wrap the rest of these dumpling fillings first."

"No rush!"

Chen Qiu just looked at her with a beaming smile, pulled her closer, and embraced her slender waist.

"Has Class Monitor never watched the Spring Festival Gala?"

Chen Qiu's breath was close, Baiwei's heart pounded faster, her eyes still a little dazed.

"What about the Spring Festival Gala?"

"They only make dumplings at the very end of the show..."

As Chen Qiu's voice entered her ears, the next moment, Baiwei's red lips were captured.

The warm touch stirred a flutter in Baiwei's heart; her toes subtly lifted, and her originally taut waist gradually softened.

Her delicate body leaned into Chen Qiu's embrace, and unknowingly, they arrived in the master bedroom.

As Baiwei gently panted, she opened her slightly dazed beautiful eyes and saw the large bed she had chosen.

Ultimately, it was up to her to personally test its quality... In the afternoon.

Shashi Reservoir.

Li Cheng and four or five middle-aged men, each with two fishing rods, chatted and fished.

Yan Li was among them!

Not just him, all these middle-aged men were engineering bosses from Gannan!

When times were good, they frequented commercial KTVs, nightclubs, and bathhouses. Even when talking about fish, the first thing that came to mind was mermaids!

The last two years haven't been good!

With the economic downturn and industry contraction, everyone started tightening their belts.

Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't splurge on entertainment venues.

But they had no work during their free time, so they had to find something to pass the time!

Thus, fishing gradually became their hobby for killing time.

A pack of bait, a rod, and a hundred yuan to sit for a whole day!

For them, this time-killing hobby was incredibly cost-effective!

As for fish?

Have you ever seen a fisherman actually catch fish?

Don't they all just buy them at the market?

Moreover, in the middle of winter, how could any fish bite?

"Sitting here all afternoon, not a single bite?"

Li Cheng looked at the motionless float, frowning slightly.

"President Li, the temperature has dropped in the last two days, so it's normal for them not to bite."

Yan Li, sitting beside him, calmly explained.

The others also chimed in with agreement.

Li Cheng was unlike them; he had money in his pocket, so he fished less often and wasn't as accustomed to coming back empty-handed.

Of course, Li Cheng wasn't here just to fish.

He had gathered Yan Li and the other engineering bosses mainly to discuss the various standards for the industrial park after the New Year.

In the previous symposium, both Director Wang and Minister An emphasized that during the infrastructure phase of the industrial park, in addition to absolutely ensuring safety, quality, and progress, under similar conditions, local Gannan engineering companies should be prioritized to alleviate the decline in local engineering.

Li Cheng wasn't surprised by this.

The infrastructure alone required an investment of one billion yuan, which was definitely a major project for Gannan, a third-tier city.

The ultimate goal, including the industrial park itself, was to revitalize the local economy and employment in related industries as much as possible.

"President Yan..."

The others watched Li Cheng turn his head and chat with President Yan, their hearts still filled with surprise.

In the industry, who didn't know that Yan Li was now deeply in debt, on the verge of collapse?

In such circumstances, projects would almost never seek out a company like his, which was full of unstable factors.

Bankruptcy was a foregone conclusion!

In recent years, everyone had seen similar situations many times; Yan Li's case was not special, and several others had even jumped!

But they never expected that this guy managed to turn things around in such a situation?

His daughter was the high school deskmate of that President Chen?

When they first heard this news, everyone was incredibly astonished!

Yan Li's luck was just too good, wasn't it?!

Moreover, merely because his daughter and that President Chen were classmates, Li Cheng, that old fox, would treat him this way?

They were skeptical.

However, while they envied him, they were more concerned with another aspect: getting closer to that President Chen really was useful!

Although Li Cheng hardly showed it, who among those present wasn't a shrewd person?

How could they not see the reverence Li Cheng inadvertently showed towards that President Chen?

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Yan Li could

At this moment, they could only secretly resent why their own daughters weren't classmates with Chen Qiu?

Now, even if they wanted to curry favor with Chen Qiu, they had no reason!

One person secretly shook his head, sighing at fate.

He glanced at the motionless fishing float, then his gaze shifted, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards them.

"He Yongliang?"

He looked closely and exclaimed in surprise.

The others heard him and also turned to look.

Yan Li frowned, wondering why this guy was here.

Speaking of which, hadn't He Yongliang attached himself to Li Cheng?

Recently, Li Cheng often met with several of their familiar engineering bosses, but He Yongliang was never seen.

He turned to look at Li Cheng beside him and saw that his face instantly darkened upon seeing He Yongliang.

Yan Li's heart rejoiced.

"Did He Yongliang offend Li Cheng?"

After He Yongliang greeted everyone, he was also startled when he saw Yan Li.

"Why is this guy here?"

Could it be that in the few days since he was kicked out, Yan Li was also able to join the table?

Noticing Li Cheng's cold expression, He Yongliang didn't bother to dwell on Yan Li's matter anymore.

"President Li..."
