Wen Qiao's mother's voice was a bit loud in the quiet ward. Besides, Zhao Qingzhou and Liang Qing were Wen Qiao's colleagues, so they would naturally be more aware of Wen Qiao's name.
Seeing Wen Qiao walking towards them, Zhao Qingzhou remained as calm and refined as ever.
He spoke first to Wen Qiao, "Is your daughter sick? I heard your mother call Sanbao just now."
Sanbao was the nickname of Wen Qiao's daughter.
Zhao Qingzhou knew this.
Wen Qiao nodded and said, "My daughter has always been a bit underdeveloped and weak. She's most afraid of getting sick. This happened at school. A boy in her class had a fever, and since he and my daughter like to play together, she caught it. She's been having relapses for half a month, and this morning her fever suddenly spiked. Luckily, it was a false alarm. She's much better now and can be discharged this afternoon."
As Wen Qiao spoke, her gaze fell on Liang Qing.
What's wrong with your daughter?
Liang Qing immediately explained, "I fell and hurt my leg when I went out to play. I thought it wasn't serious, but when I took it to the hospital, the doctor said it was fractured."
Liang Qing lived not close to the hospital. Her daughter suddenly lost the ability to walk. Liang Qing was terrified. She thought her daughter had some other illness, so she took the initiative to call Zhao Qingzhou.
Zhao Qingzhou could see Liang Qing's unease and her inability to explain her relationship with him to others.
Zhao Qingzhou glanced at Liang Qing and said, "Take a day off today and take good care of Niannian. I've already paid the hospital fees."
Liang Qing immediately said, "I can't keep taking leave, but Niannian needs to be hospitalized for a week. I'll go back and find a caregiver."
It's possible that Zhao Qingzhou frequently visited her home under the pretext of visiting Niannian, which the nanny, who returned after the New Year, saw. She felt that Liang Qing had now hooked up with a rich man. Besides, the nanny felt that she wasn't taking care of a normal child and deserved a raise of forty yuan a month.
Liang Qing couldn't accept this price.
She can earn money by working, but she also needs to save money for her daughter's eye treatment. The agreed-upon monthly salary was 25 yuan, and the nanny wouldn't have to do much, just cook and take care of the child at home, which would be very easy.
But now the nannies are raising their prices, and Liang Qing is busy with work, so she doesn't have time to properly look for a nanny.
This puts us in a difficult situation.
Zhao Qingzhou frowned, then said, "I'll tell my mother to come and take care of the child for a few days. Just listen to me on this."
After Zhao Qingzhou finished speaking, he told Liang Qing to go inside and take care of the child.
He then looked at Wen Qiao and took the initiative to explain his relationship with Liang Qing.
He also mentioned his younger brother, whom he never talked about before.
“Liang Qing and my brother are not married, they are not legally married, but they do have a child. I didn’t know before, but now that I know, I can’t just sit idly by.”
"The child's biological father is gone, which is already pitiful. Let's just give her some more care from her relatives."
Wen Qiao stood there in shock.
When she heard Liang Qing talk about her lover before, her eyes were filled with happiness, and it was real.
She laughed so hard and said that she worked hard to get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for her lover.
Unexpectedly, her so-called lover died before her child was even born, and in such a cruel way, he was beaten to death.
For Liang Qing to love someone so deeply for so many years without regret, and to go through such difficult circumstances to attend university and get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one must possess immense perseverance and faith in love.
"She is truly admirable."
Zhao Qingzhou said softly, "A mother's strength is boundless. I've said before, she's a lot like you, she has a kind of resilience."
Wen Qiao chuckled and said, "You interviewed them before, how come you didn't recognize them first?"
Zhao Qingzhou said, "I knew from the look in her eyes that she didn't want anyone to know that we were acquainted. You could say that she never imagined that after being admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she would become my subordinate in the Information Department."
Wen Qiao nodded. "Director Zhao is a fair and just person. Not to mention the Information Department, everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows that you are extremely upright and incorruptible."
Zhao Qingzhou and Wen Qiao were talking in the corridor, only following the door of a ward. Liang Qing was inside the ward, feeling uneasy, afraid that Wen Qiao would overthink her relationship with Zhao Qingzhou.
Hearing their relaxed and comfortable conversation, Liang Qing knew that the relationship between Zhao Qingzhou and Wen Qiao went beyond that of a leader and subordinate, and was more like that of friends.
This is actually one of Wen Qiao's abilities; she has a natural affinity for people. When you're with her or working with her, it's easy to let your guard down and you're very willing to work with her.
Liang Qing knew that she didn't possess this ability.
She hopes to learn more from Wen Qiao in the future and become an excellent translator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
