Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The unpredictable and anticipated future...

"Don't eat it, don't be in a hurry to eat it! I need to take a picture first and report to my wife."

Secretary Sun stopped Chi Ke from using a knife to cut the steak, and raised his cell phone to take a series of photos of the dining table.

Chi Ke sighed softly.

Love is such a hard thing to understand.

"Don't sigh." Secretary Sun smiled and poked his phone happily, "You don't have a wife. When you have one in the future, you will know how happy it is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Ke's cell phone started buzzing.

[The Great Gitzby: Surprise Check! ]

[The Great Gitzby: What did you have for dinner? Did you eat too much cold food?]

[The Great Gitzby: Have you drunk the stomach-nourishing tea bags and nerve-soothing tea bags I gave you? ]

Chi Ke raised his eyebrows.

Someone has been carrying out surprise inspections relentlessly for a month.

He ignored it at first, but was afraid that the doctor would say that he was not cooperating with the treatment, so he took the time to reply.

Later he discovered that Ji Qian's frequency of checking on him was very low, only asking about once a week, which was just within his acceptable range.

So when there is nothing else to do, he still cooperates with the "check-ups".

Moreover, even if you refuse, the other party will not persist in asking questions and will only give two or three instructions at most.

It didn't interfere with other people's lives, but it was more sensible than I thought.

"Who is it?" Secretary Sun was extremely curious. "Why are there so many messages on your personal phone number during the weekend break?"

"Business." Chi Ke turned his phone face down on the table.

"Oh, you can't tell me? You have a secret." Sun Mi winked at him slyly for a while, "By the way, how is your house? You already have a house, why do you want to rent a new one?"

"A change of environment." Chi Ke pushed the cut steak in front of him. "The accommodation is very nice. Thanks to Secretary Sun for helping me find a place. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. We're all colleagues. It's just a piece of cake." Secretary Sun swallowed the steak with emotion. "Oh my god, no one has cut steak for me in 800 years... Oh, wait a minute, I have a call from the boss. I think there's something going on again."

He muttered and answered the phone in seconds.

"Hey, Mr. Leng, hey! It's me, yes, yes, yes...Okay, I'll bring it to you right away!"

Leng Yunting was dating Xu Lemian on the top floor of the shopping mall at the moment. Mi Sun and Chi Ke skipped work to come here to eat, and they ate with fear.

As soon as the people above responded, a group of dogs below started working.

"Hey, I'm going upstairs to deliver something." Secretary Sun took out a tie from his bag like a magician, "The ancestor was eating shrimp and the juice splashed on Mr. Leng's tie."

When Leng Yunting's employees chatted privately, they liked to call Xu Lemian "ancestor" in a very sarcastic way.

As a group of passers-by villains in the original novel, no one seems to like the protagonist.

"good."

Chi Ke didn't comment and put down his chopsticks.

After Secretary Sun left, he remembered the message he had read but not replied to, and finally picked up his phone slowly and perfunctorily responded to Ji Qian.

【K: Yes.】

Everyone can understand what "hmm" means.

This is just too lazy to reply.

Chi Ke knew that this might be a bit impolite, but he felt that whether it was friendship or love, it was better to make one's attitude clear so that people would give up, thus avoiding misunderstandings and wasting feelings, rather than using false pretenses to deceive others' true feelings.

But Ji Qian's bravery exceeds that of 99.9% of the people in the world. After being ignored for so long, he still bravely moves forward to express his kindness.

[The Great Gitzby: Are you very busy at work these days? Do you have to go to the company every day? ]

【k: It’s very busy. 】

But you don’t have to go to the company.

Chi Ke will set off for Yanping County the day after tomorrow.

"I'm back." Secretary Sun sat back down, panting. "The food hasn't even been touched. Why are you eating so slowly?"

"Yeah." Chi Ke, who had been waiting for him to come back to eat together, didn't explain much, "Is it done?"

"Yes, President Leng gave me some instructions on the handover of work with you." Secretary Sun was depressed, "Chi Zhu, you are going on a business trip in two days, will you come to work tomorrow?"

The anticipation in the second half of the sentence was almost overflowing.

Leng Yunting's confession plan has been in full swing in recent days. As the deadline is approaching, the entire Xingmian Entertainment is extremely busy.

As the main person in charge of the entire plan, Chi Ke’s position in the company is now no less than that of the CEO.

When he is around, everyone feels safe——

Look, the most miserable and hardworking assistant Chi is still alive, why should I be afraid of sudden death?

Chi Ke picked up the red wine and said, "Come on. I will make the final adjustments to the confession venue tomorrow. The rest is up to you."

The cell phone buzzed.

[The Great Gitzby: No matter how busy you are, don't drink to relieve your sorrow. The results of your gastroscopy the day before yesterday were not good. ]

Tsk.

My heart condition didn’t allow me to drink alcohol before, and now I’m finally healthy again. Why do I still need a doctor to take care of me?

Chi Ke took a sip unhappily, then reluctantly put down the glass.

【k：1】

…

On the day Chi Ke went on a business trip, Secretary Sun dropped him off at the airport.

Yanping is too far away and has no airport, so you have to fly to a nearby city first and then take a train.

Watching Chi Ke gradually disappear from the security checkpoint, Secretary Sun almost cried.

Chi Zhu was there to hold up Xingmian when the sky collapsed. Now that Chi Zhu is gone, won’t the boss make a scene and smash his head into the ground? !

"Fortunately," he muttered, "Fortunately there is a Ji--"

"Secretary Sun? What a coincidence?"

Ji Qian suddenly appeared beside him, carrying a suitcase.

Secretary Sun was silent for a while.

After a while, he chanted in a low voice: "The spirit of words is in the sky, money comes, money comes, money comes!"

"Are you talking about metaphysics?" Ji Qian tilted his head. "Did your boss deduct your salary again?"

"I just didn't have full attendance last month... This is not the point." Secretary Sun smiled sadly, "Doctor Ji, why are you here?"

Ji Qian looked at his suitcase and said, "I thought it was obvious why I showed up at the departure floor with my suitcase."

Secretary Sun: "Take a plane?"

Ji Qian: “No, a cross-city marathon.”

Secretary Sun choked and realized belatedly that he had asked a stupid question: "Where are you going?"

"Go and save the wounded." Ji Qian said, and he felt that what he said was quite cool.

So he decided to pretend to be cool to the end, put on his sunglasses coolly, turned his back to Secretary Sun and left in a casual manner.

Secretary Sun: "Hello——"

"First," Ji Qian paused, turned his neck back to a subtle and mysterious angle, and said coldly, "I'm not saying hello."

Secretary Sun: “…”

Secretary Sun: "You're going the wrong way. That's the elevator to the first floor arrival area."

Ji Qian’s back froze in an instant.

Then he snorted softly and continued to walk forward stubbornly: "I will turn back when the time comes."

Secretary Sun's facial features gradually wrinkled together.

Ok, as long as you are happy.

…

Happy Ji Qian turned the corner and ran for his life.

Damn, I’m almost going to miss the plane just to pretend!

He really didn't want his name to appear on the radio.

Although I am a distinguished platinum customer, I don't want to delay my flight because of myself.

Ji Qian ran frantically with his luggage, and only after passing through security check did he have time to take out his vibrating cell phone from his pocket.

"You'd better be in trouble!" He rummaged through the plane ticket he had casually thrown into his bag, his phone tucked under his shoulder, and looked around for his boarding gate.

I forgot that the city S in the book is just like Shanghai but not Shanghai, and there are subtle differences in the structure of the airport, so I almost ran in the wrong direction.

"Missed your flight?" Leng Baiyao was not surprised at all and sneered, "I knew you would miss your flight when you set out."

"Bah, bah, bah, you crow's mouth. I can catch up." Ji Qian was very sure.

"A bet?"

"What's the bet?"

"If you can't catch up, give me five million."

"Are you going crazy because of lack of money?" Ji Qian finally found his boarding gate.

There were less than five minutes left before ticket checking stopped, and there was no one queuing at the economy class entrance. Only a tall and upright young man was left who had just taken out his plane ticket.

He squinted his eyes and felt that the face looked familiar.

But when he got there, the other person had already disappeared at the entrance.

It's rare to find someone you like. Ji Qian sighed inwardly, handed over his boarding pass with a smile, nodded to the stewardess to express his gratitude, and didn't forget to show off to his friend on the other end of the phone: "Sorry, I caught the plane. If you need money, go and cheat Li Shao. He's very rich recently and has more money than me."

"Tsk." Leng Baiyao couldn't hide his regret, "His family is having trouble recently, I'm too embarrassed to talk to him."

Ji Qian: "The Ji family is still causing trouble every day, how dare you talk to me?"

"What kind of relationship do we have?"

"No relationship."

"No relationship?" Leng Baiyao seemed to be waiting for these four words to come out, and immediately began to speak in a sarcastic tone, "How can you have the nerve to leave the hospital to me if we don't have a relationship, and go out to fool around? Where are you going? What's the urgent matter that you even want to postpone the advertising cooperation with Yueshi?"

"I won't tell you." Ji Qian didn't tell anyone about his trip to Yanping County this time, not even Chi Ke.

He couldn't explain the whole process, so in case he was mistaken for a psychopath, he simply didn't say anything.

"Anyway, I will come back next week to thank you in person, Mr. Leng. Ah, I have to take off. I'm hanging up now!"

"Wait."

"Anything else?"

"No big deal," Leng Baiyao suddenly smiled, "I just found a discarded draft document on your desk when I arrived at your office."

Ji Qian was confused: "Then?"

"I swear I was just flipping through it casually," Leng Baiyao said with interest, "Why is there a name on the first page? Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by you."

Ji Qian: “?”

"Chi Ke." Leng Baiyao turned the two words over and over again, and said with a half-smile, "Isn't this my good brother's assistant? Why did you write his name for no reason?"

Ji Qian: “…”

ah.

This plane is so stuffy and hot.

He reached out and aimed the air vent of the air conditioner above his head towards his face.

"It's so funny. I didn't do anything. I just wrote this when I was bored in a meeting. What can it prove? It can't prove anything. Why are you so curious? Why are you asking this? Ha, it's just a name. I wrote it because I thought it looked good. That's all. There's no reason or consequence. Don't think too much. I'm hanging up!"

Leng Baiyao listened to the busy tone in his ear, took a deep breath, and slowly uttered two words.

"ill."

…

After getting off the plane, Chi Ke took photos first.

【k: Mr. Leng, we have landed. 】

Then he held onto the railing at the exit and pounded his waist for a long time.

Normally, Leng Yunting would reimburse him for business class tickets when he went on business trips, but this time he had just been forced to wear a "cyber cuckold" hat for his boss, and it was business class tickets, so it was good enough that he didn't have to take a marathon trip to Yanping.

Although his body after rebirth was much better than that of his previous life, it probably had too many problems and the world mechanism was unable to automatically repair it completely.

The results of the last physical examination showed that his serious illness was indeed gone, and he only had a bunch of minor ailments, including but not limited to lumbar disc herniation. Ji Qian gave him a lot of plasters.

After hammering for a while without seeing any relief in the pain, Chi Ke had no choice but to take out a piece of plaster from his bag and apply it. The warm heat attacked the acupoint and activated the stiff lumbar spine.

When I went to get my luggage, there was almost no one at the carousel.

He did not stay for too long and hurried to transfer to another train. Two hours later, he finally arrived at his destination, took some photos, and took a taxi to the hotel.

【k: Mr. Leng, I have arrived at my post.】

【k: I didn’t slack off and delayed my schedule. I was always present when I was on business trip. 】

There were no private cars or business cars in the small place, only taxis with meters. When Chi Ke got in the taxi, he was afraid of being ripped off. When he arrived at the place, he opened the meter and saw -

Wow, four kilometers and one hundred and fifty oceans.

But I was unfamiliar with the place and the driver had a big tattoo on his arm, so I couldn't argue with him. It was better to have less trouble than more, and losing money was better than losing my life.

What's more, the company will reimburse the travel expenses for business trips, so you don't spend money.

"Master, give me an invoice."

Chi Ke paid and got off the bus

Without the window covered with old brown tape, the sun above his head dazzled his eyes.

Chi Ke raised his eyebrows, walked quickly into the hotel, looked back at Yanping County outside the window, and faced the wind.

A small city in central China bordering the northwest, the sky is bluer and the wind is colder than in the city.

The dust rising up in the sky added some mystery to the story.

In his limited life, both past and present, this was actually the first time he set foot on this land that was always labeled as barren.

The scarf was blown away, and Chi Ke could see the distant sand dunes behind the layers of bungalows.

In that second, he felt a breath he had never felt before.

No wonder so many people are looking forward to that wilderness date in their lives.

Because we always have to feel the reality of being alive.

This wilderness bears witness to the existence of a stranger and is also recording the traces of another person's presence.

The road to finding the original owner's life is long, but Chi Ke's life has never been paused.

He is always in progress.

Therefore, every second of the next moment is not a predetermined and known story in the original work, but belongs to his own unpredictable and anticipated future.
