Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

After dealing with the Xiao family's affairs, I returned home in a happy mood.

Rong Zixuan was very excited to see me. He rushed up to hug me, and the two children also rushed up to hug my legs with laughter.

"What's wrong with you guys?" I was puzzled. I just went out for a while and you missed me so much?

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Rong Zixuan's eyes were filled with tears.

"What can happen to me? You know what I'm capable of!" I bent down and teased the two children.

"I found out that Xiao Du had close ties with the underworld when he was young. I'm very worried about you!" Rong Zixuan was about to cry.

I held my two children's hands as we walked home. "What era are we still dealing with gangs? Their era is long gone! Now it's our young people's world! And I'm telling you, Xiao Du is just a paper tiger! He's just a strong exterior but weak inside, and he's just trying to scare people!"

"Really? Tell me what happened to you!" Rong Zixuan followed me happily with a look of delighted delight on his face, and I told him the whole story.

"I see! But I still say that a lean camel is bigger than a horse! We'd better not provoke these people!"

"I told you that you're getting more timid as you get older, and you refuse to admit it!"

"I admit it, I admit it!"

"Forget it, you're such a coward, no matter how I explain you're still scared!"

"This isn't fear, this is self-preservation! And harmony brings wealth, so less trouble is worse than more!"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you!"

"Really?! You see, I'm always polite to everyone out there. Even if they don't want to cooperate with me, they'll think of me if I'm nice! If I always make enemies, why would they think of me when they have something to gain? Instead, they'll try to trip me up everywhere!"

"Have you signed your project? Is it profitable? How's the progress now?" My three questions hit the mark exactly as Rong Zixuan wanted. He just wanted me to ask him questions about his project so that he could show off to me.

"Signed, signed! I paid the deposit and I got the project!" Rong Zixuan said excitedly.

"That's not right. Why do I have to pay a deposit when signing a contract?" I realized something was wrong.

"It's just a deposit! Our project is huge, and people can rest assured that we won't run away after paying a deposit!" Rong Zixuan said complacently.

"How much is the deposit?"

"Two hundred million!"

"What! You gave it all to others?" I shouted loudly, scaring Jiashu in my arms. Jiashu even looked up at me.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mom didn't say anything about you," I comforted Jiashu, then turned to Rong Zixuan anxiously and said, "Where's your contract? Let me see it!"

"This is a trade secret! No one without permission is allowed to see it!" Rong Zixuan arrogantly rejected my request.

"Let me see this. Your signing process is very irregular! Why do you need to pay a deposit to sign a contract? And the amount is not small!" I forced Rong Zixuan to take out the contract, but he refused to do so.

"No! I said I'm the boss of my company! You promised me that too!" Rong Zixuan picked up Jia Che and ran out.

I wanted to get up and chase him, but Jiashu cried and begged me to hold him, so I picked him up and walked outside. I had originally intended to ask Rong Zixuan about the contract, but it ended up being a parent-child game of chasing him. I was tired from running and sat down on the lawn, but Jiashu was in high spirits and pulled me up, "Mommy, Mommy, chase!"

"Mom has no strength left!" I gasped and comforted Jiashu, "Why don't you go catch up with Dad and brother by yourself!"

Jiashu shook his head and kept trying to get into my arms. I had no choice but to continue playing with him. In the end, I was so exhausted that I didn't have the energy to care about Rong Zixuan's contract issue. I just wanted to lie on the sofa and rest.

The next day, while Rong Zixuan was out, I rummaged through the drawers at home trying to find his contract, but I couldn't find it.

"I won't leave the contract at home!" A voice came from behind, scaring me.

Seeing that the truth had been revealed, I could only stand up dejectedly and try to make excuses, "There's a mouse! I'm looking for a mouse!"

"Really?" Rong Zixuan saw through it but didn't say anything.

"Yes! We should buy a cat!" I hurriedly left the room.

"But we have done a good job in preventing rats!" Rong Zixuan chased after him with a smile.

"That's what I saw, a big rat! It would be terrible if it gnawed something!" I sat on the sofa and picked up the pillow guiltily.

"I won't keep something as important as a contract at home. It would be terrible if it was gnawed by mice or torn by children!" Rong Zixuan deliberately leaned close to me and whispered.

"I'm not looking for a contract. I said I'm looking for a mouse!" I continued to be stubborn.

"Okay, okay! It's a mouse!" Rong Zixuan looked at my stubborn look and smiled indulgently.

The next day, I took my children out and deliberately walked around Rong Zixuan's studio, and then went in to visit him.

"The boss lady is here!" Wang Mian's voice was very penetrating, and everyone in the office looked towards the door, although there were only two people in the office now, the other one was Feng Ping.

Both of their eyes were focused on me, which instantly made me extremely embarrassed. "Oh, oh, oh! Liuliu baby, come and take a look!"

"Little friends! You are so cute!" Wang Mian saw the two children, walked over, squatted down and pinched their little faces.

"Where is your boss?" I asked curiously when I didn't see Rong Zixuan come out.

"The boss took the boys out, probably to carry something!" Feng Ping explained.

"What are you carrying?"

"I don't know about that," Feng Ping said with a smile.

The two children attracted Wang Mian and Feng Ping's attention, giving me the opportunity to sneak into Rong Zixuan's office. Without even bothering to close the door, I rushed to his desk and frantically opened drawers, searching for the contract. I searched through several drawers but couldn't find it. I searched the cabinets again, but was halfway through when I heard them return. I had no choice but to leave, pretending to have just come out of the bathroom.

Rong Zixuan saw me coming out, his eyes full of suspicion, "Where have you been?"

"I'm going to the bathroom!" I washed my hands and wet them, then walked to the table and took two pieces of paper to wipe my hands.

"Oh~" But Rong Zixuan probably didn't believe what I said, and there was a hint of hesitation in his tone.

"Feng Ping said you went out to carry something. What did you carry?" I asked calmly.

"The client of this project requires us to use their computer to prevent leaks," Rong Zixuan said as he directed several boys to move things.

"Is there such a requirement?" I was confused.

"They are the client, they pay us to do the work, so we have to listen to whatever they say."

"Why is your project getting weirder and weirder?" I complained lightly.

"Who cares if it's weird or not? As long as I can make money, that's all that matters," Rong Zixuan replied nonchalantly.

"Mom! Pee!" Jiache ran over and pulled my trouser leg and said to me.

"I want one too!" Jiashu also ran over.

"As expected of twins, they even go to the bathroom at the same time!" Lin Jiaming said with a smile after putting down a computer.

"Stop laughing and move quickly! It's going to rain soon!" Sun Wei urged.

I came out of the bathroom with my two children and saw that it was about to rain, so I said goodbye to them and went home.

"Well, you guys go ahead and do your work. It's going to rain soon, so we're going home first." Then I squatted down and said to the two children, "Come on, say bye!"

"Bye!" The two children waved their hands and said goodbye.

It started raining heavily soon after I got home. I felt inexplicably uneasy looking at the heavy rain outside.

A week later, Rong Zixuan ran home in a panic and showed me a stack of papers.

"Wife, please help me check whether this is true or false!" Rong Zixuan was very anxious.

I took the paper and it turned out to be a contract. I looked at it and saw it was riddled with errors and omissions, and it was ridiculous, but if you hadn't studied law, it would be hard to spot that. The more I read, the more my brow furrowed. Rong Zixuan noticed something was wrong with my expression and asked tremblingly, "Honey, is there something wrong with this?" But I ignored him and continued reading.

After reading it, I sighed, "Your contract is full of mistakes and omissions, and this seal is obviously fake!"

After hearing what I said, Rong Zixuan collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, with no desire to live.

"What's going on?" I helped him up.

"This is the contract I signed, but today Party A came to us and said we had breached the contract because we were suspected of plagiarism and they wanted us to pay liquidated damages."

"Plagiarism?"

"Yes, that Sun Wei used someone else's things without their authorization and was sued. Party A found out about this and also came to sue us for breach of contract. But I remember there was no such clause in the contract. I showed them the contract, but they insisted that mine was fake and that I forged it to deceive them. They also showed me their contract, and I looked at their contract, and it was different from mine. What's going on?" Rong Zixuan felt aggrieved and anxious.

"Zixuan, calm down! I'll show this to Xu Jing first. She's a professional lawyer after all. But based on what you said, I think you were set up. The one you have is fake, and the one they have is the real one, but they got mixed up when you signed the contract, and you signed both."

Rong Zixuan collapsed. "What should I do? They want me to pay 1 billion yuan in compensation! How can I afford that much money?"

"How much money did you make from selling Yuanyuan shares before?" I asked tentatively.

"I've run this company for so long, but I've never made any money. I've been paying for all the expenses out of my own pocket, and I've almost spent it all! Moreover, this project requires a deposit, and I invested all my last money in it!" Rong Zixuan said regretfully.

"Go take a hot bath and relax. I'll ask Xu Jing what she thinks." I gently stroked Rong Zixuan's back to comfort him, and he obediently went upstairs to shower. Afterward, I sent the contract to Xu Jing and anxiously awaited her response.
