After pretending and arguing a few more words, Chu Ge felt it was about time, gave Qin Ruojing a gesture of "all set," stretched lazily, and was about to wash up for sleep when a "grumble" suddenly sounded in the quiet bedroom.

He glanced to the side and saw Qin Ruojing's face blush slightly; it was obvious the sound had come from her stomach.

Chu Ge grinned, "I went out drinking and singing with Ruoying and left you at home waiting for us to fight on an empty stomach. I really owe you one. Wait a minute, I'll whip up some midnight snacks for you."

With that, Chu Ge walked out the door.

Watching Chu Ge's back, Qin Ruojing couldn't help but be a little dazed; a soft spot in her heart was once again touched by a casual remark from Chu Ge.

Just a moment ago, she was raging at him, yet he was not the least bit concerned and instead cared about whether she was hungry. Just how generous is this man?

Thinking about what Qin Ruoying had said during their argument, Qin Ruojing pursed her lips and sighed.

Yes, Chu Ge had done so much for her, but what had she done for Chu Ge?

Take this particular matter for example. If she were in Chu Ge's position, she might not have had a big fight with herself, let alone cared if she was hungry or gone out of her way to make a midnight snack for her.

Could it be that... slowly, subtly, Chu Ge feels... towards me... ?

The thought startled Qin Ruojing, and she shook her head, muttering to herself, "That guy's always so carefree, it must be impossible. He's so money-minded, surely he's doing this for the reward, yes, that must be it."

At this moment, Chu Ge had already taken out some tomatoes and eggs from the fridge and headed to the kitchen to prepare tomato egg noodles as a midnight snack for Qin Ruojing.

Just as he sliced a tomato, Qin Ruoying, who had just finished washing up, walked over, leaned against the kitchen doorframe, and watched Chu Ge with a playful smile, "Brother-in-law, are you and my sister okay now?"

Chu Ge turned around and smiled back, "What could be wrong? Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end. But how about you, are you still mad at your sister?"

"Honestly, a little, but since you forgave her, I won't hold a grudge either. By the way, brother-in-law, why are you cutting tomatoes here? Are you hungry?"

After slicing the tomatoes, Chu Ge cracked open some eggs, "Nope, it's for your sister."

"Wow!"

Qin Ruoying was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed, "Brother-in-law, you're so good to my sister. She's really so lucky!"

Chu Ge looked at Qin Ruoying, seeing her eyes twinkle with little stars, fists raised to her collarbone, with that exaggeratedly admiring expression girls in idol dramas often have. He chuckled, "Is it that big of a deal?"

Qin Ruoying nodded solemnly, "Of course it is! Brother-in-law, you're truly manly! I must give my sister a good talking to!"

With that, Qin Ruoying ran off to Qin Ruojing's bedroom, leaving Chu Ge in the kitchen amused and helpless.

Before long, Chu Ge finished making a steaming bowl of tomato egg noodles. Just as he was about to serve it, he saw the Qin sisters walking out of the bedroom together.

Both sisters were smiling, as if they hadn't argued at all.

"Thank you, Chu Ge."

No one knew what Qin Ruoying had said to her sister just now, but Qin Ruojing now smiled somewhat awkwardly, her cheeks reddening as she looked at Chu Ge with shifty eyes.

"Saying that kills the mood, doesn't it? Alright, eat up. I'm going to wash up and sleep."

Chu Ge stretched lazily and went to the bathroom.

Although she had eaten quite a few snacks while drinking and singing, and wasn't hungry, Qin Ruoying licked her lips at the fragrant, steaming tomato egg noodles, "Sis, I want some too."

"Eat what? Your brother-in-law made this for me! Didn't you already brush your teeth?"

"Come on, sis, don't be so stingy. Brother-in-law's cooking just smells too good, I really can't resist. I'll brush my teeth again later, no problem."

"You little rascal, just take a little!"

Chu Ge brushed his teeth, listening to the sound of the Qin sisters behind him, feeling an unmistakable warmth in his heart.

After messing around half the night with Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge was a bit exhausted. He finished washing up and returned to the bedroom, falling into a deep sleep within minutes.

Having eaten the hot noodles, Qin Ruojing freshened up a bit and returned to the bedroom, looking at Chu Ge's side profile, her heart growing even more complex.

This man might be aimless and carefree, but in every other aspect, he's truly an outstanding man.

I wonder who will become this guy's bride in the future?

That woman, she should be very happy, right?

Ah, if only he were a bit more ambitious, it would be perfect.

Unaware of it, Qin Ruojing found herself lost in thought. She didn't know how long it had been before she shook her head a bit irritably, turned off the light, and went to bed. But she lay there for a long time without falling asleep.

The next morning, when Chu Ge woke up, Qin Ruojing had already left. Qin Ruoying hadn't gotten up yet. After washing up, he made a simple breakfast. While eating, he contemplated the matter He Qing had asked him to help with.

Yesterday, he said he needed a day to think it over. Today, he should give He Qing an answer.

According to He Qing, if he became the president of this company, the big boss above would only be He Qing. The specific business operations could be handed over to a hired general manager. Unless it's necessary to represent the company in public, he could do as he pleases otherwise.

It sounded really good, as if it wouldn't significantly impact his current satisfying little life. But ever since He Qing talked to him about this matter yesterday, he had always felt something was off.

However, after thinking it over, Chu Ge couldn't pinpoint the source of this strange feeling. No matter how he looked at it, this matter seemed beneficial to him, to He Qing, to He Junming, the siblings, or even to Qin Ruojing.

In most situations, he could continue living like a contented small-town citizen.

He Junming could gain some experience.

If the company is affiliated with Tianjiao Group, it means Qin Ruojing really boards He Qing's warship. Even discarding the potential future profits of this company, this point alone could greatly boost Qin Ruoying's career, making whatever she wants to do in the future much more convenient.

Moreover, whenever he and He Junming are uncertain about any issue, they could have Qin Ruojing offer some constructive advice.

After finishing his meal, Chu Ge rubbed his forehead. From any angle, this matter was a wonderful opportunity. Coupled with the trust and straightforwardness from He Qing and He Junming, he didn't really have any reason to refuse.

After carefully considering the matter again, Chu Ge finally picked up the phone and dialed He Qing's number.

At this time, He Qing was in the house at Yipin Spring City, sitting on the sofa, rhythmically tapping her well-groomed fingers on the armrest, her eyes fixed on the phone on the coffee table.

She had maintained this posture for a whole hour, and apart from the constantly falling finger on the armrest, no other part of her body moved.

Even for a calm and composed woman like her, her gaze showed a touch of anxiety at this moment.

After all, she had done a lot for this matter. If Chu Ge refused, all her previous efforts would have been in vain, and finding such an opportunity again would not be easy.

Finally, the phone on the coffee table rang with its long-missed ringtone.

He Song's finger stopped just short of the sofa armrest, she exhaled slightly to adjust her mood, and picked up the phone.

She let the ringtone play in her ear, but He Qing did not immediately answer the call. Doing so would show she cared too much about this call.

Even though that was indeed the case.

After letting it ring for four or five seconds, He Qing answered the call, and when she hung up, she couldn't help but lean her head back on the sofa, her mouth curving into an upwards arc reflecting her mood.

Half an hour later, at the Jindian Business Club, still in the previous private room, He Qing was the only one inside.

The door creaked open, and Chu Ge walked in. Seeing the slightly helpless expression on his face, He Qing smiled gently, "President Chu, getting your agreement is really not easy, huh?"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes at He Qing with amusement and said, "Alright, stop teasing me, President Chu this and that. Tell me your plans for today. Have you called Qin Ruojing?"

"Yes, I did. She should be on her way now."

"Uh, so what did you tell her? Did you mention I was here too?"

Chu Ge sat down on the sofa next to He Qing, just thinking about what's coming up made him feel speechless and amused.

Originally, he was just a small employee at Tianjiao Film and Television. After working for a few days, he became the deputy director of a department, and then within a few more days, he was appointed as Qin Ruojing's secretary and driver. Just with that, many people already viewed him as a freak.

And now, all of a sudden, he's turned into a company's president. Never mind others, even Qin Ruojing herself would likely struggle to accept this.

Looking at Chu Ge, He Qing shook her head slightly and smiled, "I only said I wanted to talk to her about work matters; I didn't mention anything else."

"Shouldn't you give her a heads-up beforehand?"

"If anyone should give her a heads-up, it should be you, right? After all, you two spend a lot more time together than I do, huh?"

Chu Ge rubbed his forehead, his smile growing more helpless.

He hadn't decided whether to take on the president role, so he saw no need to tell Qin Ruojing. Since they were about to meet anyway, telling her a minute earlier or later wouldn't make much difference.
