Chapter 137: Strange Development
Cao Nanyu gradually discovered that Qu Tian was really stingy.
He was delivering something to Zhou Qing and picked up Qu Tian on the road three times in a row. He said that his salary was not low at all, but he just couldn't bear to buy a car.
Then, when buying lunch at noon, as the attending physician, Cao Nanyu would naturally bring a portion for Qu Tian. No matter how much he bought, Qu Tian would always eat it all. Once, the portion was large, and Qu Tian probably couldn't finish it, so he put the rest in a lunch box, even the bones, and then fed it to a stray dog that had run into the hospital at some point. In short, not a single thing was wasted.
Pick! Pick all over the body!
But he is very open about it.
Once when we met at the hospital gate, Cao Nanyu chuckled: "He's going to feed that yellow cat again."
Qu Tian glanced at him sideways. He was taller than Cao Nanyu, and when he looked at him like this, it was always hard to tell where his gaze was resting, whether it was Cao Nanyu's face, or down to his neck.
"Instead of throwing it away, why not feed it to it? I know you think I'm stingy, but everyone's upbringing is different. I've also been through hard times, so there's nothing wrong with being a little frugal." Qu Tian paused and said in a low voice, "If she's my future wife, I'll give her whatever she wants."
Cao Nanyu's heart trembled, and he asked, "Are you planning to get married?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman." Qu Tian took out his cigarette case and gestured to Cao Nanyu. Seeing the young man shook his head, he lit one himself. He had an operation that evening, so he wanted to relax while he had some free time. The entrance was well ventilated, and the smoke he just exhaled was blown away in an instant. Qu Tian seemed to be deliberately keeping people in suspense, and after exhaling three or four times, he said, "As long as we get along well, that's fine."
Cao Nanyu smiled: "I never thought that Dr. Qu is popular with both men and women."
"This is not called attracting both men and women." Qu Tian leaned over slightly, and the smell of tobacco sprayed on Cao Nanyu's face. The man's voice came from all directions, scratching his earlobes and making them itch.
Qu Tian chuckled: "This is called working hard to meet the right person. If the other person is a man, I can't miss him, right?"
I'm blushing for nothing! Cao Nanyu cursed in his heart, but he was a little anxious. He took a step back to keep a relatively safe distance from Qu Tian and nodded. "Okay, then I wish Doctor Qu to get his beautiful girl soon. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
By the time Cao Nanyu hurriedly got into the car, it had already driven out of sight. Qu Tian's cigarette had already burned down a good bit. He put it out listlessly beside the trash can. After a moment, he whispered, "Pretty pure."
Only Assistant Cao wasn't there, otherwise he would have pointed at Qu Tian's forehead and yelled, "If you're capable, don't blush!"
Cao Nanyu has devoted himself to Quan Yi and Xuan Zhe over the years and really has no time for a relationship. Going back to college, although he has a handsome appearance and speaks in an official tone that makes people happy, he is after all someone close to Xuan Zhe. Even if there are people who like him, they don't have the courage to do so.
There was a dinner party that evening. Because it was at a seafood hotel, there was only one particularly large Australian lobster, which could not fit on a single plate, so a beautiful wooden board had to be found to place it under. The prawn shell was golden, and it was obviously a top-quality product. Before coming, Xuanzhe heard what his partner said, so he brought Wen Shuang along.
It was no longer a secret that President Xuan doted on Wen Shuang, and people in the circle were used to it. As soon as the dishes were served, after seeing Xuan Zhe nod, Wen Shuang stood up and broke off the shrimp head in front of her with a "clang". Everyone took a few symbolic bites. They had just left other tables before coming here, so they were not hungry.
The shrimp meat is firm and sweet, and tastes amazing when dipped in sauce. Duo Wenshuang is quite particular about it, cutting it into small pieces and eating it in a very elegant manner.
It was rare that a big Australian lobster made Wen Shuang feel 70% full, and after eating some hot dishes, he would be almost full.
There was an actress sitting next to Mr. Sun opposite. Wen Shuang remembered that she was nominated for Best Actress last year. She was over 30 years old, but very charming. She was the kind of person who could instantly stun her colleagues and audiences when she put on a cheongsam on the screen. She had been with Mr. Sun for seven or eight years. Mr. Sun was in his sixties now, but he had always been very good to her and had never replaced her with a younger girl.
The actress looked at Wen Shuang with envy and whispered, "You've already made it to the top, haven't you considered taking on more roles?"
"I won't answer it." It was Xuanzhe who answered. Perhaps his tone was a bit harsh, so the actress considerately didn't ask any more questions.
Wen Shuang was taken care of month after month, and went to the hospital for checkups every month, but some indicators were always below normal levels. The doctor explained that it would take at least three to five years for her to recover from such a serious car accident. Wen Shuang was open-minded and didn't think there was anything wrong with her. However, Xuanzhe felt uneasy. Thinking of this, he picked up half a piece of pork elbow and put it in Wen Shuang's bowl, "Eat some more."
"I'm full." Wen Shuang said this, but her hand holding the chopsticks did not stop.
.
At first, everyone was looking at his face, intentionally or unintentionally, because it was very handsome. Now they were all looking at his bowl. Holy shit! He finished eating again! He can eat a lot!
After two glasses of wine, the cooperation was finalized.
Xuanzhe treated us to dinner today. Aside from the pork elbow and the Australian lobster, the other dishes were largely untouched. There were more than a dozen of them. Cao Nanyu felt inexplicably distressed. He rubbed his hands on his knees and whispered, "Boss Xuan, I want to do something."
Xuanzhe was also quite indulgent towards him, "Why are you turning the table over? Why don't we all get out of your way?"
Cao Nanyu chuckled, walked towards the storage table at the door, rummaged inside for a while, and quickly took out a few plastic bags and lunch boxes.
"Swish--" Cao Nanyu rubbed open the plastic bag, shook it open, and then came straight over with a pile of lunch boxes.
Xuanzhe: ""
"I haven't touched it yet." Cao Nanyu poured a plate of braised pork into the bag. Although he was embarrassed, his movements were smooth. "I'll take it away."
Xuan Zong choked up for once: "Will you take it back to eat?"
"Hey Ah Huang," Cao Nanyu explained, "The yellow dog in the hospital is so hungry that only a handful of bones are left."
Xuanzhe and Wenshuang matched, but everyone was very dreamy. Assistant Cao used plastic bags and lunch boxes, and even packed food to feed Ah Huang, what kind of dog?
It was not a specific breed, just a hybrid yellow-haired native dog. When it ran to the hospital, it was so hungry that it could hardly stand. Qu Tian saw it passing by and stopped for a long time. In the timid and pleading eyes of the little guy, he took the lunch down and ate it all up. From then on, whenever Qu Tian appeared, Ah Huang would always jump out from various bushes and grasses. It would not pounce around, but would just circle around Qu Tian, wagging its tail.
Hiss... Xuanzhe helplessly watched Cao Nanyu quickly clean up the plates, thinking to himself, you should at least wait until the people leave and save face for your boss.
However, after the meal, things began to take a very strange direction.
In fact, everyone is reluctant to spend money, and some of them have started from scratch and lived a hard life. Every time they waste a table of food, it is just to save face. But now that President Xuan takes the lead in packing up the lunch boxes, the news spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people. Everyone was surprised at first, and then they repented, and suddenly felt that packing up was not such a shameful thing.
After waiting for a while before eating, Cao Nanyu didn't wait for the leftovers to be cleaned up. Others at the table blew up plastic bags or took lunch boxes. They were more skilled than him and quickly cleaned up the table.
Cao Nanyu: “…”
Xuanzhe: “…”
Qu Tian saw Cao Nanyu's car driving in from the gate, took a sip of tea, and a sporadic smile appeared on his rigid face, little, but very handsome. When Assistant Cao got out of the car, he habitually looked up and met his eyes, and his knees suddenly went weak.
Not long after, Qu Tian came down from upstairs and saw Cao Nanyu dragging a bag of dog food out of the trunk. While helping, he asked, "Didn't we say we were having a dinner party? Can you bring back some leftovers?"
"Don't mention it." Cao Nanyu really wanted a cigarette. "They're all like crazy, opening their bags faster than I can. President Xuan is watching, so I really can't do anything like snatching food from the table."
Qu Tian smiled, "Good news."
Cao Nanyu couldn't help but take another look. Qu Tian seemed to have eyes on the side. "What are you staring at?"
"I wasn't watching." Cao Nanyu whispered. As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Huang jumped out from the bushes and circled around them.
"This dog has gained a lot of weight." Cao Nanyu looked at Ah Huang.
"We couldn't compete with other dogs before, but now we have good meals every day, so we naturally gain weight." As Qu Tian spoke, he had already opened the bag of dog food and casually poured a pile on the ground. Ah Huang came forward to smell it and quickly ate it all.
After finishing all this, there seemed to be nothing else to do. Cao Nanyu coughed twice and was about to say he was going back, but Qu Tian invited him first: "Come to my office and sit down."
“Didn’t you have surgery?”
"There aren't so many patients." Qu Tian helped him close the trunk and walked in front with the dog food. "Come on, I'll make you some tea."
Okay, Cao Nanyu thought, my stomach has become delicate from drinking too much red wine and white wine, so drinking tea is just right to clear away the greasiness.
Just kidding, Cao Nanyu always refuses many people who invite him for tea. In the worst case, he would complain afterwards: "Drink, drink, drink. What's so good to drink? Why would an old man in his seventies or eighties drink it every day? Why don't you do something else with the time?"
This shows that human nature is double standard.
Qu Tian bought the Snow Mountain Longjing tea himself. He haggled with the tea seller for a long time and got a discount of thirty yuan. On the way back, he bought twenty-eight pieces of meat and ate it to his heart's content.
Soon the aroma of tea spread. Cao Nanyu drank two cups and smacked his lips. "It's slightly bitter at first, but the aroma is rich, and the aftertaste is sweet and refreshing. Great tea!"
Qu Tian glanced at him and said, "As long as you like it."
As late autumn approaches, the sunlight seems to be frozen in the afternoon, with a heart-wrenching orange hue, drooping softly on the windowsill, making the blue sky and white clouds look like an oil painting.
Cao Nanyu didn't go to bed until three o'clock last night and arrived at the company at eight o'clock in the morning. He didn't feel anything when he was busy, but once he relaxed, fatigue seeped out through his bones. He was originally just leaning on the chair, but slowly slid down and hit a soft pillow. This was simply a huge hypnosis for his spirit. Cao Nanyu didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. His breathing was choked, and then became even.
He fell asleep.
Qu Tian made sure that he had put the pillow in the right place and turned up the room temperature. Then he should go to the computer to process some documents, but the man's profile was so clean that Qu Tian couldn't help but sit down gently beside him.
