Chapter 83 Shrinking is for better development

Meng Xiaobei only ate a little and then put down his chopsticks, probably because he was not used to the cooking skills of Chen Ran, who had just come from his hometown.

Chen Ran didn't force himself. He stood up, put on his gloves, took out a sea salt toast from the oven, cut it open, spread a little peanut butter on it, put it on a fork, and put it in front of Meng Xiaobei.

Chen Ran doesn't like sweets, but Meng Xiaobei likes them very much. He actually has these things in his house. She knows that this is partly for his own consideration.

Chen Ran chopped the steak into pieces quickly and put it into his mouth. After finishing the meal, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and glanced at the clock on the wall, which read twelve fifty-five.

Meng Xiaobei was at a loss, "If you leave, what will happen to the crystal stone?"

"There is still Li Bohao, and the technical backbone of the company is still there." Chen Ran watched Meng Xiaobei lean back in his chair.

"Then I don't have to come here anymore, right?" Meng Xiaobei said.

Chen Ran looked at Meng Xiaobei and said, "No, on the contrary, you may have to come more frequently. The company has laid off a large number of people and is short of manpower. Many things may require you to take more care of them."

"You are about to go bankrupt, why do you trust me to help you?"

"Intuition, or fate, because I am very destined to you, don't you think?"

The light slanting from the window reflected between the two of them, illuminating the contours of Chen Ran's features in particular. "But don't worry, our agreement is to settle wages based on time. The more you pay, the more you will get."

Meng Xiaobei also looked at Chen Ran, each other's cheeks and hair were shrouded in a faint light under the light.

For a moment, Meng Xiaobei suddenly felt a little ashamed. Her purpose in coming to Crystal Stone was not simple. In addition to suspecting that the other party was related to the Hyena Organization, she also wanted to explore their software.

But the long-term habit of distrusting anyone quickly eliminated this trace of shame: Don't be naive, he is not the same as you.

After a long silence, Chen Ran suddenly spoke again, "I think you are also very interested in crystal stones, right?"

"In addition, I am also very confident in myself. The rise of Crystal Stone will happen sooner or later."

Hearing this, Meng Xiaobei paused, and the hand holding the fork stopped on the dessert.

Could it be that this guy discovered something?

Since his father disappeared, the Meng Group has disappeared from the business world, but Zhao Muqing has been working hard to maintain it secretly, constantly improving the only asset left by the group - L.

Zhao Muqing was frail, sick and old, and realized that his time was short, so he transferred the group's shares to Meng Xiaobei last year and renamed the company "Shadow Cube".

Although Chen Ran is facing bankruptcy, his family fortune and capital are still strong. It can be said that these are enough to surpass Meng Xiaobei by hundreds of blocks.

"You know? Actually, I am not worthy of your trust," Meng Xiaobei looked at Chen Ran with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, "I am a hacker."

"I know that."

"I also have my own company."

"I know this too."

"What else do you know?"

"I don't know anything else," Chen Ran smiled.

Meng Xiaobei: "."

Chen Ran stood up and walked to the living room.

After a while, Meng Xiaobei turned his head towards the living room and said: "Take out the contract, I will seriously consider it."

Chen Ran stood in front of the window with his hands folded, and turned to look at Meng Xiaobei, with a look of joy in his eyes.

No matter how mysterious this girl is, Meng Xiaobei's decision probably shows that he is a person worthy of her trust.

Chen Ran took out a stack of contracts and placed them on the tea table.

Meng Xiaobei knew from his second sentence that he must have prepared the contract, so he took it in his hand and read it one by one.

This contract is not a general version printed online, but the terms have been re-drafted based on the special cooperation model between them.

The complicated contract terms gave Meng Xiaobei a little headache, so he looked through them one by one.

Chen Ran was also very patient, sitting aside and waiting, and at some point he had a bottle of red wine in his hand.

"I thought you wouldn't pay so much attention to the terms of the contract," Chen Ran said as he slowly poured red wine into two goblets.

Meng Xiaobei: "It's my first time to sign a deed of sale. I don't have much experience. In order to prevent even the bones from being sold, I decided to go through it one by one."

Chen Ran smiled: "How about I call Ah Hao over? He is a barrister and he is the best at this."

"Okay." Meng Xiaobei said, "But before that, I have to take a look to see if it is worthy of giving it to him."

"Then take your time and watch. I have plenty of time to wait." Chen Ran said, got up and went to the second floor.

Meng Xiaobei took out his mobile phone, pointed the camera at the contract, and asked gently: "L, it's your turn to play your role. Regarding labor services, call your database to help me review this contract."

L: "Wait a moment, I will search and compare them first, it will take about ten minutes. If you need to analyze the pros and cons, it will take about half an hour."

Meng Xiaobei held the phone in front of the contract with one hand and turned the pages slowly with the other. After recording all the contracts, he put the phone aside and leaned on the chair to rest.

L: "He is creating a romantic atmosphere and wants to spend quality time with you over red wine."

"L, please focus on the contract." Meng Xiaobei said, "I'm very tired today and don't have the energy to complain about your choice of words."

L: "Don't worry, honey, another process of mine is analyzing the contract."

Meng Xiaobei: "Okay, then you can consider speeding up."

L: "I just hacked all the digital devices in this house. Xiaobei, there is a box of egg tarts in his microwave. Do you want some? I can control the buttons to heat it."

Meng Xiaobei ignored L and leaned back on the chair with his eyes half-squinted, "I've been studying hard for the exam these days and I'm really tired. L, hurry up."

Ten minutes later, Chen Ran came down the stairs, holding a box of ink pads in his hand. At a glance, he saw Meng Xiaobei lying on the dining table, contracts scattered on the floor, his cell phone thrown aside, and he fell asleep.

Chen Ran walked over gently, took a look, then picked her up and placed her on the sofa. He then helped her take off her shoes and socks, took the bed blanket, and covered the sleeping boss with it.

.

He put away the contract that was scattered on the floor and put it on the coffee table. Then he sat cross-legged under the sofa on the other side and looked up at Meng Xiaobei's sleeping face.

After watching for a while, Chen Ran sat on the carpet with his back against the sofa, found the remote control from the corner of the sofa, and watched the TV news for a while.

Chen Ran turned off the sound, only read the subtitles, and sat motionless next to Meng Xiaobei, like a mighty and silent German wolfhound.

Meng Xiaobei's gentle and even breathing sounded in his ears, like a rhythmic lullaby.
