Gaining Recognition

When Chen Ming's car arrived at Qin Qing's house, Qin Shaotao and Bai Rong were already secretly observing them from the room.

They stood in front of the one-way glass and carefully observed Chen Ming's attitude toward Qin Qing.

Even though they did not have any requirements for Chen Ming's family background and had learned about Chen Ming through some research and were satisfied with him, they still had to observe him personally in order to reach the proper conclusion.

When they arrived, Chen Ming got out of the car first.

After he got out of the car, he did not wait for Qin Qing. Instead, he walked around the front of the car and went straight to the front passenger seat, opening the door for Qin Qing.

Qin Qing had just unbuckled her seat belt at this moment. Seeing his actions, she felt even more warm in her heart.

At this moment, Chen Ming even reached out his hand to help Qin Qing out.

After Qin Qing got out of the car, Chen Ming went to get the gifts alone.

Chen Ming was holding the four gifts in his hands. Qin Qing wanted to help him but was rejected.

His every move exuded a gentlemanly air.

This made Qin Shaotao and Bai Rong, who were secretly observing, nod their heads in satisfaction.

People had to take note of these details.

Chen Ming was so attentive and nice to Qin Qing in a place where they could not see him. They felt that this young man was worthy of becoming a family member.

Moreover, with Chen Ming's current achievements, it was already a good thing that he was not swaggering around or showing off in public.

Qin Qing's parents concluded that he was not flamboyant and was also careful.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Chen Ming, who had been inadvertently acknowledged, had no idea about this.

…

After Chen Ming and Qin Qing arrived at the entrance, Qin Shaotao and Bai Rong stood in front of the door with a smile.

Qin Qing took a deep breath and slowly said the words she had planned in advance, "Dad, mom, this is Chen Ming, whom I've been telling you about."

Then, Qin Qing turned to Chen Ming and said, "Chen Ming, these are my parents."

By the time she finished speaking, Qin Qing's ears were already a faint red color.

She had to admit that she was still a little shy.

"Chen Ming, I've heard of you," Qin Shaotao smiled.

"You're that young and promising genius who developed the energy polymer blocks and the optimized batteries. Your future has endless possibilities."

Qin Shaotao had never been stingy with his praises for talented people, and he was more than satisfied with Chen Ming.

"Yes, yes." 

Bai Rong also gently echoed her husband's sentiments. 

"Chen Ming, I've heard a lot about you."

"You both are too kind," Chen Ming replied humbly, "It's just some minor achievements. Besides, it's the result of Qin Qing and I working together."

His humility and etiquette made the satisfaction in Qin Shaotao and Bai Rong's eyes shine even brighter.

When the greetings were over, Bai Rong said, "We were just talking. Come in and have a seat."

They welcomed Chen Ming into the living room. Qin Qing followed him helplessly.

"Oh, that's right. These are my gifts to both of you. I hope you like them."

When they arrived at the main hall, Chen Ming put the gifts on the table as he spoke.

"Look at you. You're here as an invited guest, but you even brought gifts. It seems like you've spent a lot." 

Bai Rong maintained her gentle smile.

However, when she and Qin Shaotao saw the exquisitely-wrapped gifts, they instantly felt that Chen Ming was a generous person.

They did not lack gifts. However, from Chen Ming's generosity, they could see that he valued Qin Qing. This made them quite satisfied.

From the moment Chen Ming entered the house, every move he made satisfied them. They had to admit that they liked this son-in-law!

…

As Chen Ming took out the gifts one by one, Bai Rong and Qin Shaotao both felt that Chen Ming had good taste. The gifts he chose were all in line with what they expected.

From this, they could sense his intentions.

When Chen Ming took out the limited-edition Maotai, Qin Shaotao's eyes flashed with shock.

He knew about the limited edition Maotai. It was extremely difficult to buy it on the market.

Then, before Qin Shaotao could recover from his shock, Chen Ming took out a tea set.

"This tea set..." Qin Shaotao could not help but ask.

He did not expect Chen Ming to give him a tea set.

Qin Shaotao loved the art of tea and was especially familiar with tea sets. He then realized that the tea set that Chen Ming had given him was of the highest quality, be it in terms of aesthetics or workmanship!

Seeing this, Qin Shaotao hurriedly took a teacup and examined it carefully, touching it admiringly.

At this moment, Qin Qing leaned over and whispered to Chen Ming, "My dad is very keen on studying the art of tea and loves collecting tea sets."

Chen Ming nodded. So that was the case.

At the same time, he also felt the warm air that Qin Qing had breathed out when she spoke, which warmed his ears.

This small gesture made Chen Ming unconsciously tighten his fingers.

He looked calm and composed on the surface, but the rhythm of his heartbeat had long been accelerated unconsciously.

When Chen Ming came back to his senses, Qin Shaotao was still mumbling, "Great. It's a rare and excellent set. Hahaha, I like it, I like it!"

Qin Shaotao's love for tea sets was evident in his words. Chen Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

It was good that Qin Qing's parents liked his gift. He had not wasted his efforts.

When Qin Shaotao finally put down the tea set unwillingly, he started to chat with Chen Ming.

Qin Shaotao was very knowledgeable and had been in the business world for a long time. When he chatted with Chen Ming, they would veer the discussion toward business matters.

Every time they did, Qin Shaotao thought that Chen Ming would not be able to answer certain questions.

Unexpectedly, not only was Chen Ming not stumped, but he was also able to articulate himself well. His views on each question were unique and clear.

"You're indeed the best of the new generation." Qin Shaotao sighed. 

"Chen Ming, Uncle feels that with time, you'll definitely be able to build your own business empire."

Not only Chen Ming, but even Qin Qing was surprised by such a high evaluation.

Qin Shaotao had always been serious and was exceptionally strict with his juniors.

After so many years, this was the first time Qin Qing had seen her father give such a high level of praise to a junior.

However, on second thought, Qin Qing felt that Chen Ming deserved it.

While they were chatting enthusiastically, Bai Rong came over and motioned for them to come over for the meal.

It was only then that they stopped chatting and went over to the dining table to eat.

Bai Rong had prepared a table full of dishes, which were especially sumptuous and fragrant.

Chen Ming wanted to give her a five-star rating for her cooking.

During the meal, Bai Rong kept putting food into Chen Ming's bowl, afraid that he would not be full. When there was not much left, the amount of food in Chen Ming's bowl would pile up into a small mountain shortly after.

Chen Ming had no choice but to eat as much as he could. After all, he did not want to waste any food.

While he was eating, Bai Rong thought for a moment and asked with a smile.

"Chen Ming, when do you plan to marry our Qing Qing?"

Qin Qing was completely stunned by Bai Rong's words.

Her mother was actually asking about marriage? This was too awkward!

At the same time, the dining table became much quieter because of Bai Rong's question.

Even the sound of the chopsticks clattering against the bowls had completely disappeared. Bai Rong and Qin Shaotao were motionless, waiting for Chen Ming's answer.
