Chapter 110 When did she become Cheng Qian’s substitute?
The woman sitting next to Chu Huaijing is his wife, Cheng Qian.
Li Zhinan clenched his palms tightly, and instantly felt angry as if he was being made a fool of.
Last night, he asked Cheng Qian if she wanted the spot, and Cheng Qian said no.
He thought that she didn't care about Dr. Lan's talent recruitment plan this time.
But now, when she met Chu Huaijing and Dr. Lan Jie, what kind of drama was this?
With Chu Huaijing introducing them, Lan Jie looked at Cheng Qian with more appreciation.
Cheng Qian has always been a very low-key person, so she didn't have high hopes for this meeting.
Good things happened at this moment. Lan Jie extended an olive branch to her and invited her to join his study team.
Cheng Qian's eyes lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but look at Chu Huaijing.
Chu Huaijing's eyes were always on her face. Seeing her happy face because of the opportunity to study, her gentle and caring face like spring breeze and rain made Chu Huaijing lose his mind.
"Mr. Chu, Teacher Lan invited me. Thank you for your help." Cheng Qian looked at him gratefully.
Chu Huaijing frowned and chuckled: "Don't thank me, it's because you are excellent that you have received the attention of Teacher Lan. You should thank yourself for your persistence and hard work."
Lan Jie looked at the young couple and couldn't help but smile and asked Cheng Qian, "Ms. Cheng looks very young. Are you married? If you are still single, Huai Jing is a good kid. I watched him grow up."
Chu Huaijing didn't expect Lan Jie to suddenly match him up. His handsome face flushed unusually and he whispered, "Cheng Qian is married."
Lan Jie said, "You're so young, and you're already married. Your significant other must be very outstanding."
Cheng Qian didn't want to talk about her significant other at all, but Chu Huaijing smiled and said, "Yes, he's very good, I know him."
Lan Jie stole a glance at a lost person next to her and sighed in her heart, could that person be in unrequited love?
Lan Jie watched Chu Huaijing grow up, and she roughly knew what kind of personality this child had.
If it wasn't someone very important or someone he cared about very much, he wouldn't have taken the time to act as a matchmaker and beg her to give him a spot.
Lan Jie came to this meal to see what kind of girl could make Chu Huaijing beg him for a spot like a child.
Miss Cheng's resume is indeed one in a million, but it's a pity that she is married.
The meal was a pleasant one. When Cheng Qian introduced her parents, Lan Jie was stunned for a moment. The next second, she smiled and said, "So she's the daughter of an old friend. No wonder she looks like an old friend."
Cheng Qian was stunned.
Chu Huaijing was also curious: "Auntie knows Cheng Qian's parents?"
Lan Jie nodded: "Of course I know her. Her parents are also outstanding people."
Because Cheng's parents passed away too early, and in a car accident, it must have been a huge blow to Cheng Qian. Chu Jie stopped talking about it and didn't continue the conversation.
Chu Huaijing looked at Cheng Qian and found that her eyes were already red under her long eyelashes.
I thought she would cry, but unexpectedly, she forced back her tears and looked calm and composed.
Cheng Qian's pretending to be strong made Chu Huaijing's heart feel like being pricked by a needle.
After lunch, Chu Huaijing and Cheng Qian came out to see Lan Jie off in the car.
"Going back to the lab?" Chu Huaijing turned around and asked Cheng Qian.
Cheng Qian nodded: "Yes, I have something to do in the lab, so I'll leave first. Thank you for inviting me today."
"Don't be polite, we shouldn't talk about this between friends." After Chu Huaijing said this, he glanced at Cheng Qian's expression.
Before, they were not friends.
The only way they could see each other was through Li Zhinan. They only saw each other once or twice a year, and they didn't even talk.
Cheng Qian naturally heard the word "friend". In her opinion, a friend is a friend only if he is sincere.
"I'm very happy to make a friend like you." Cheng Qian said with a serious smile.
"Really?" Chu Huaijing's eyes paused for a moment, then he nodded: "I'm happy too. Be careful on the road."
Cheng Qian bent down and got into the car, said goodbye to him and left.
Chu Huaijing stood there, watching the car go away, and felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.
It's like a child getting a candy, it tastes sweet.
Cheng's office!
Cheng Yan, who had no interest in the experiment, sat in her father's office, looking anxious.
"Xiaoyan, is this position important?" Cheng Zhifei asked.
"Being Lan Jie's personal disciple is more valuable than those diplomas." Cheng Yan pressed her solar plexus. "Zhi Nan will definitely get me a spot. I trust him."
Cheng Zhifei, however, was not so optimistic: "If he really had a spot, he would probably give it to Cheng Qian."
"No." Cheng Yan suddenly opened her eyes, her expression excited: "He can't give it to Cheng Qian. If he agrees to come, he will only give it to me."
Seeing his daughter so confident, Cheng Zhifei smiled broadly, "Xiaoyan, if he gives you the spot, you'll be three points closer to becoming Mrs. Li."
Cheng Yan's lips curled up into a smile: "I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to benefits, Zhinan will definitely think of me first."
Just at this moment, Cheng Yan's cell phone rang and she answered it quickly.
"This is impossible. Cheng Qian has already got a place? Your news must be fake." Cheng Yan was using her connections to find someone to inquire about this matter.
"It's absolutely true. Dr. Lan said it himself. How could it be false?"
Cheng Yan stood up from her chair and asked, "Did she go to see Dr. Lan herself?"
The other party sneered and said, "Dr. Lan is not someone who can meet anyone who wants to. There are so many talented people in the world. Cheng Qian is very outstanding, but there are only a whole playground full of such outstanding people in the medical university. Miss Cheng, I hope you can be as lucky as her."
Cheng Yan stared at her phone, her face darkening.
Cheng Zhifei saw his daughter's ambition instantly waned. He asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there no follow-up on the quota issue?"
"No!" Cheng Yan started to feel a headache. "Cheng Qian already got the spot before me. She's always like this, as if luck is always on her side."
Cheng Zhifei also looked depressed: "I told you, if there is a benefit, Li Zhinan will definitely give it to Cheng Qian first. After all, Cheng Qian is the mother of his son. Don't underestimate the saying that a mother's status depends on her son."
Cheng Yan's pretty face turned pale. What her father said was not without reason.
Just then, Cheng Yan received a call from Li Zhinan, asking her to prepare for meeting Lan Jie in the evening.
Cheng Yan had a look of loss on her face just now, but now her face suddenly became very happy: "Okay, Zhinan, see you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yan turned around in place, without a trace of depression on her face.
"Dad, Zhinan has made an appointment with Dr. Lan. There will be results tonight. Wait for my good news." After saying this, Cheng Yan turned and left the office.
Cheng Zhifei was also very surprised to see that his daughter was so cared for by Li Zhinan.
As night fell, Cheng Yan appeared outside the box wearing a decent dress.
She knocked on the door gently and pushed it open. Li Zhinan, Lan Jie and several teachers from the scientific research community were also there. When Cheng Yan came in, they all looked at her curiously.
"Zhi Nan!" Cheng Yan called him gently.
Li Zhinan stood up and introduced all the scientific research experts present.
Cheng Yan naturally knew them all. She greeted them one by one humbly and politely, and said some compliments. The old men present had a very good impression of her.
One of the old men smiled and said, "I met Mr. Li's wife at a party last time. I didn't expect that she was in the same industry. It can be considered a fate."
Li Zhinan's handsome face froze for a second, and the next second, he said truthfully: "She is not my wife, but the eldest daughter of the Cheng Group. I invested in their company."
Cheng Yan was also shocked just now. Someone actually mistook her for Cheng Qian.
She felt so depressed. When did she become Cheng Qian's substitute?
Absolutely not.
With Li Zhinan's explanation, everyone realized that Cheng Yan was not his wife.
I don’t know how Li Zhinan impressed Lan Jie, but Cheng Yan received a notice while having dinner that she officially became one of Lan Jie’s students, and she was also given a copy of Lan Jie’s course schedule.
When Cheng Yan got the form, her fingers trembled slightly, and she knew that Li Zhinan could do anything for her.
Of course, Li Zhinan spoke with financial resources. He invested 10 billion in research funds with a single throw of his hand. Lan Jie also needed research funds, and this money would be very useful to her.
After dinner, Cheng Yan drank a few glasses of wine because she was happy.
After seeing off this group of old men, Cheng Yan suddenly became drunk and swayed slightly, as if she was about to fall.
Li Zhinan quickly reached out and grabbed her arm to support her.
Cheng Yan took the opportunity to lean towards him and rest on his arm: "Zhi Nan, thank you. I will remember your kindness to me and will never forget it for the rest of my life."
Li Zhinan said calmly, "Don't be so polite. I've already said that I will help you reach the highest point in Ke Yan's career."
"Yes, you never break your promise." Cheng Yan looked into his eyes with a smile: "I am really lucky to have a loyal friend like you."
"Cheng Yan, you are Cheng Qian's cousin. In fact, I have always had an idea that you and I have a deep connection, so how about you being my sister?" Li Zhinan suddenly asked her.
Cheng Yan was shocked, and the next second, she sobered up.
"Sister?" Cheng Yan opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Zhi Nan, are you serious?"
Li Zhinan nodded: "Of course, I am serious. I have never known what kind of relationship I should have to continue to bear this responsibility for you. Now, I think about it. Xiaowei likes you very much and has always called you sister. If you are my Li family's goddaughter, then I will always treat you as my sister."
Cheng Yan's heart was like being thrown into a blender and shattered into pieces.
She never thought that Li Zhinan would tell her about this kind of relationship. She always thought that he was just being ambiguous with her and that they were not yet lovers.
But now, he actually said such cold words at a temperature of 37 degrees.
"Cheng Yan, if you are willing, I will make this relationship public. From now on, you can enjoy the resources and connections of the Li family." Li Zhinan said seriously in a low voice.
