Cheng Qixin reclined on the swivel chair behind the desk, he pillowed one hand behind his head, and the other hand unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, seemingly leisurely, but the slightly frowning eyebrows and slightly heavy face revealed his true mood at the moment.

Today's daytime bidding was indeed as fierce as he expected, but Guan's bid was much higher than he expected, if it weren't for the fact that he had an alliance with Huang Dong of the Wanxing Consortium and threw out the price code set by the two companies, he would have become the final winner, otherwise Cheng's own strength alone would not have been able to win against Guan's in any case.

It's just that in this way, the profits that Cheng can get from this project in the future will be reduced by nearly half, and the cooperation between the two companies this time is in a hurry, and then there will be endless troubles in project operation and profit distribution.

However, in any case, the success of this bid is still very beneficial to Cheng's future development, as for those problems arising from cooperation, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.

After thinking for a while about what he was going to negotiate with Wanxing next, Cheng Qixin began to feel a little tired, and casually glanced at the clock and found that it was almost dinner; He pressed the corners of his forehead, stretched again, and got up to go downstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, a white thing in the corridor attracted his attention, and when he got closer, Cheng Qixin was surprised to find that the white mass was actually a little white cat.

The little white cat also spotted him at this moment, and after it barked softly, instead of dodging, it came towards him; Cheng Qixin watched the kitten who didn't seem to be able to walk stumble to his feet, and then rubbed his shoes with its small body, Cheng Qixin saw this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, he bent down and picked up the kitten-

"Ahh Be merciful! ”

A sudden exclamation startled Cheng Qixin, who was teasing the kitten, he turned around and looked at Ye Xiaojing, who was staring at him with a frightened face, "What's your name?!" ”

"Young master, could you please let Xiaobai go? Please! Ye Xiaojing looked at the little white cat in Cheng Qixin's hand in horror, and at this moment it was dangling there with two fingers by the former holding his neck.

Xiaobai?

Cheng Qixin thought for a while, and then understood that this was the name of the kitten in his hand, he looked at Ye Xiaojing, who had a nervous expression, and asked casually, "Where did you get this cat?" ”

"Yes-yes-" Ye Xiaojing stared at the kitten, stammering, she couldn't figure out how Xiaobai, who was obviously locked in her room, could appear in Cheng Qixin's hands?

"What is it?" Cheng Qixin shook the kitten and reached out to play with its ears.

"Young master, can you let Xiaobai go first?" Ye Xiaojing looked at the kitten worriedly, and finally couldn't help but say.

"Xiaobai - this name is really Xiaobai!" Cheng Qixin not only turned a deaf ear to her request, but also said with disgust.

Ye Xiaojing was full of helplessness, and the name Xiaobai was not chosen by her.

"You've been out for so long today just to get it back?" Cheng Qixin finally stopped shaking Xiaobai and put it in the palm of his hand instead.

"That's right, I went to see a friend, and he just picked up Xiaobai, so just-" Ye Xiaojing said in a slurred manner.

Cheng Qixin listened to it and said "oh" noncommittally.

Seeing that he didn't reprimand himself, Ye Xiaojing plucked up the courage and asked, "Young Master, can I keep it?" Sister-in-law Zhou said that there were rats in the kitchen—"

Seeing that she was looking at herself with a worried face, Cheng Qixin couldn't help but have the idea of teasing her: "You brought the cat back without a sound, and then came to ask if you can keep it?" ”

"Uh-" Ye Xiaojing was speechless for a while.

It was a pure accident, and she didn't know that she would bring back a kitten when she went out; Of course, the most unexpected thing is that the kitten she secretly hid was exposed so quickly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Cheng Qixin said again: "Your Xiaobai is still running around at such a young age, aren't you afraid of being accidentally stepped on?" ”

"I'll take good care of it in the future! Could you please allow it to stay? Ye Xiaojing stiffened her head and asked again.

"No way!" Cheng Qixin rejected her request.

"Oh-" Hearing such a reply, Ye Xiaojing's disappointment was overflowing.

Seeing her disappointed look in her eyes, Cheng Qixin stroked the kitten's head and said leisurely: "Ye Xiaojing, you'd better understand to me that servants are not qualified to have pets, so well, this cat belongs to me!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Xiaojing raised her head sharply and looked at him in surprise: "Young master, you, you want to adopt Xiaobai?" ”

"Why, can't you?" The fingers stiffened above the kitten's head for a while, Cheng Qixin looked at Ye Xiaojing with a happy face in surprise, why did her reaction not be the same as he thought?

"Ah—of course, of course! Young master, are you serious? Ye Xiaojing was pleasantly surprised, but also cautiously wanted to confirm again.

If Cheng Qixin can adopt Xiaobai, it would be really great.

Cheng Qixin was silent for a moment, handed the little white cat to Ye Xiaojing and said, "Go and give it to grandma!" ”

Old lady?

Ye Xiaojing was slightly stunned, and then nodded busily, "I understand, thank you, young master!" ”

Ye Xiaojing was about to leave with the kitten in her arms, but Cheng Qixin stopped her again and said, "Wait-"

"Any more questions?" Ye Xiaojing turned around nervously, for fear that Cheng Qixin would want to regret it.

Cheng Qixin took a step forward and tugged the two black pointed ears of the little white cat, before he said slowly: "The name Xiaobai is too ugly-"

Ye Xiaojing hurriedly said: "Then ask the young master to choose a new name for it!" ”

At this time, Cheng Qixin had already walked towards the stairs, and after hearing this, his steps paused slightly, and then he said something that made Ye Xiaojing stunned: "Let's call it Xiao Hei in the future!" ”

Ye Xiaojing looked at the kitten in her arms with a smile and a smile, and sighed for a long time - Xiao Hei is Xiao Hei.

After dinner, Ye Xiaojing hugged Xiao Hei to see Mrs. Cheng: "Old lady, this is for you by the young master!" ”

Mrs. Cheng was also very happy to see the well-behaved kitten: "Yo, where did the kitten come from?" Miss Ye, did you say this was given to me by Qixin? ”

Ye Xiaojing took the opportunity to say: "Yes, young master, he said that he was afraid that you would feel lonely, so he wanted Xiao Hei to relieve your boredom." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang was bringing tea to Mrs. Cheng at this time, and when she heard this, she immediately said: "Old lady, look, young master, he still remembers you very much after all!" ”

"Good, good boy!" Mrs. Cheng took the kitten with trembling hands and stroked it gently, looking excited and relieved.

Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was completely immersed in the joy of her grandson's filial piety to herself, Ye Xiaojing didn't say anything more and quietly walked away.

Only those who have lost can better understand the value of family affection.

Ye Xiaojing secretly hoped that the little lie she had just made and the kitten who came to the Cheng family by accident could be the first step to fill the gap between the ancestors and grandchildren of the Cheng family.
