After getting the certificate, you will be a widow

Chapter 220 Weird breath

Rumeng took the menu handed over by the waiter and put it in front of Cheng Ning: "Here, beautiful Cheng Ning, you are the boss today, just order whatever you want to eat, I will be responsible for eating and paying the bill."

Cheng Ning opened his clear eyes wide: "Really? Then I won't be polite, and I will never show mercy."

Rumeng leaned forward and said in a low voice, "I can still resist a beating at the moment, so you don't have to go easy on me."

Finally, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

Rumeng knew that Cheng Ning's startled behavior was just his true nature outside of work.

She is not someone who has never seen the world.

Cheng Ning was the editor-in-chief of a publishing house as big as Xinghai at such a young age. Naturally, no one would believe that she had never seen the world.

But if it wasn't for work or life, she wouldn't want to attend any social events, no matter how high-end the dinner was.

Cheng Ning is a workaholic. She doesn’t have many friends in life. It’s rare for her to meet a new friend like Rumeng who she can talk to, and they will become partners with each other.

This relaxed and pleasant atmosphere is certainly different from everyday social gatherings.

Ru Meng has the same feeling. She has few friends in life.

After being brought to the city from her grandmother's house by Ru Qinghui, she lived a dependent life, was beaten, scolded and abused, and had to eat leftovers.

After I went to school, I was often looked down upon and bullied by my classmates. How could I have any friends? From high school to college, I completed my studies by working part-time.

When Rumeng met Cheng Ning for the first time, she had an indescribable feeling towards her, the feeling that they could trust each other.

Cheng Ning shifted his gaze from the menu to Rumeng's face. "You seem very tired. Did you not get enough rest, or are you tired from running around this morning?"

"I'm going to order you this heat-clearing and nourishing black chicken soup with American ginseng. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Rumeng shook her head: "I don't have any food restrictions, as long as it's not spicy."

After consulting the waiter, Cheng Ning ordered food for two people.

Finally, she looked at Rumeng and comforted her, "Don't work too hard. Just relax and everything will be fine."

Cheng Ning understands the ways of the world.

"I really haven't had a good rest recently. My father-in-law was in a car accident abroad and has been in a coma ever since. He was brought back to China for treatment a few days ago."

Rumeng looked around and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Although she believed that Cheng Ning would not betray her and that she would be a good partner in the second half of her life, she was not in a position to reveal too much for the time being.

Any negative news that someone in the Chu family is in poor health will directly affect the plummeting share price of the Chu Group, affecting the interests of the majority of investors.

Ru Meng had to be cautious.

Hearing Rumeng say this, Cheng Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath: "You look haggard, thank you for your hard work!"

"You'll get used to it." Ru Meng said.

She went on to say, "Today we are going to focus on relaxing and not talking about unhappy things."

"By the way, I have slightly revised our book publishing cooperation agreement. I will send it to you tomorrow. If both parties find it acceptable, we can sign the contract."

Cheng Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Did you come here specially to give me a surprise today?"

During her morning meeting, the editor-in-chief complained that her discussions with Rumeng about cooperation had been slow and there had been no progress.

Cheng Ning was too lazy to explain. Something was happening at the partner's family, and it was too unkind of her to keep urging others to discuss cooperation. She didn't want to do that, and didn't want to explain. She just let the editor-in-chief nag on and on.

She knew that Rumeng purchased medical equipment through her, and there must be some unspeakable secrets that she was reluctant to reveal.

Think about life, who doesn’t have difficulties?

There is no need to explain some things.

Since Rumeng trusted her new friend whom she had only met twice, she couldn't let Rumeng down.

Rumeng saw Cheng Ningmei smiling and in a good mood, and her nerves, which had been tense for many days, were relieved a lot.

Temporarily get rid of the depressing atmosphere at home. Now you can finally stop being tense and relax your whole body and mind.

"Thank you, Cheng Ning! I hope we can be each other's light in work and life."

Rumeng likes Cheng Ning’s straightforwardness, and also likes her calmness and occasional childish look.

She thought it wouldn't be too tiring to make friends or work with such people.

Cheng Ning smiled and said, "Today we have officially fulfilled what we said last time. We will become very good friends."

"Let me formally introduce myself to you again. My name is Rumeng, and it's nice to meet you!" Rumeng said with a smile.

Her beautiful pair of eyebrows and the upturned corners of her mouth correspond to each other, outlining a sweet smile that is very beautiful.

Cheng Ning stretched out his hand: "My name is Cheng Ning, nice to meet you-Ru Meng!"

After they finished speaking, the two couldn't help but chuckle with their hands covering their mouths, looking very happy.

It is a hot summer day and the sun is scorching in the sky.

At this time, 40 kilometers away at Lianshan Temple, Chu Xing, Chen Yi and others had just got off the highway and were driving on a road in a small town at the speed set by the traffic department.

Sitting in the car, I could see from afar an ancient temple hidden in the jungle on the mountain ahead.

There is a small town at the foot of the temple mountain, named Lianshan Town after the temple. There are several small villages surrounding it. Most of the residents in the town rely on the business of buying and selling incense to support their families.

It is said that the surrounding villagers make a living by fishing and growing fruits and vegetables.

Chen Yi looked at the time. It was already 12: noon.

The mountain road was winding and for traffic safety reasons, the journey took them a full hour and a half.

The driver, Lao Yang, didn't dare to blink. He only breathed a sigh of relief after the car went down the mountain.

He started working early in the morning and had a small breakfast, so his stomach was already rumbling.

Chen Yi was sitting in the co-pilot seat, and he was the first to receive Lao Yang's request.

He turned his head and looked at the back seat: "Boss Chu, should we find a place to eat first, or buy a box lunch and eat it in the car? We have dry food in the car, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."

Chu Xing thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter what I eat. The main thing is that Lao Yang and the brothers must be well fed. Let's see if there is a decent restaurant and eat first."

"Okay." Chen Yi replied.

He observed the restaurants on the roadside and streets, and found that they were all very small fast food shops.

He was worried.

I don't know if it's because this place has been influenced by some beliefs of the temples on the mountain for a long time, or because the merchants have been trading in incense for a long time? I always feel that each of them exudes a very strange aura.

In short, everyone seems to be weird.

Although Chen Yi had been with Chu Xing in the business world for many years and had seen all kinds of situations, he still felt a chill on his back at this moment.

I don’t know if it’s because he has never been superstitious, and suddenly finding himself in a temple full of incense and incense, he had this psychological feeling.

He felt no better than Chen Yi when he first woke up. It was a hot day and even without turning on the air conditioner, he could still feel a chilly chill.
