At the agreed time at noon, Qiao Qingqing arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
There was a slight look of sadness on her face.
"Deputy Captain, Accountant Zhou."
Seeing her expression, the two men couldn't help but show concern.
"Qiao Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Qingqing said sadly, "I can't go back with you guys today. The doctor said my health is not good and suggested that I stay in the hospital for a day for observation. It's okay if I don't want to be hospitalized, but he just told me to be more careful. But I think I'll feel more at ease if I stay in the hospital."
"Do you want me to go back and call someone to take care of you?" Accountant Zhou asked. He knew that the female educated youth had a good relationship with each other, and was thinking about whether he should call Yao Xiaoman or Zhou Lanfang.
"No need. If nothing happens during tonight's observation, I may go back tomorrow. If there is really anything, I will call the office to find you." Qiao Qingqing was afraid that he would call someone over, otherwise she would not have chosen her words so carefully. She wanted to let them know that it was necessary for them to stay in the county, but she also wanted to prevent people from worrying too much.
Otherwise, considering how much Yao Xiaoman and Zhou Lanfang cared about him, perhaps after Accountant Zhou went back and told him about this, they would have rushed over overnight.
"Tell Xiaoman and Lanfang that I'm not seriously ill. I'll just be hospitalized for a day for observation. Ask them to help me take care of the house."
Zhou Jianbin nodded, "Okay."
"I'm sorry to have made you wait for so long, but I'm not going back." Qiao Qingqing said a little embarrassedly, "How about I treat you to a meal?"
"Qiao Zhiqing, you are being so outspoken. Don't be so formal with us! Since you want to stay, we will go back first. We still have Xiao'er in the team, so be careful."
After saying goodbye to Qiao Qingqing, the two men drove away in the ox cart.
If they delay any longer, Qiao Qingqing might really drag them to a restaurant for dinner. This meal would cost a lot of money, so it would be better to go home and eat with peace of mind.
Qiao Qingqing watched the two men leave, but she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she went into the restaurant and chatted with Master Zou for a while to comfort him.
She hadn’t gone out to sea yet, so she had no way of selling the tuna to Master Zou. Otherwise, how could she explain where the tuna came from?
Fortunately, Master Zou was quite reasonable and knew that this thing was not easy to catch. This time, Qiao Qingqing brought some meat to show her gratitude. Master Zou was naturally happy and willing to continue cooperating with the Hongsheng Team.
He even used his power to secretly prepare a meal for Qiao Qingqing, free of charge.
Master Zou also realized that she was the only one in the entire Hongsheng Brigade who "understood" and no one else would give him benefits in private.
He treated Qiao Qingqing to a free meal, and the only expense was the food at the restaurant. But the more than one pound of meat that Qiao Qingqing gave him was enough for him to take back home and eat with dignity.
Qiao Qingqing wanted to have a long-term relationship with the other party, so she did not refuse. Only by having a give-and-take relationship would others trust her more.
After dinner, Qiao Qingqing made an excuse to leave.
She then came to a small wood on the outskirts of the city and entered the space at the place agreed upon by both parties.
Qiao Qingqing planned to stay in this space until the day after tomorrow to deliver the goods.
Although she and Accountant Zhou agreed to stay in the hospital for one day, it would be okay even if she went back the day after tomorrow. If they asked, she could just say that the doctor asked her to stay one more night just to be on the safe side.
Everyone in the village knew what her husband's family situation was like in the past. For example, her husband was in the army and received a subsidy, and she had also sold some seafood before, so no one would have complained even if she had some money.
…
After staying in the space for two days, on the day of agreed delivery, Qiao Qingqing went early to observe the situation outside.
She had chosen a very early time. Normally, there were few people coming here, so it was quiet at this moment.
Suddenly, Qiao Qingqing heard some noise.
