Gu Xicheng understood perfectly well that Li Ningqiang had come today to privately facilitate a collaboration with 'Chengfeng'.
If he were sincere, that would be one thing, but his contract doesn't show any sincerity.
It's ridiculous to expect a 50% profit from a project without a detailed construction plan or technical assessment!
"Uncle Li, you're putting me in a very difficult position!" Gu Xicheng feigned helplessness.
"Uncle Li is helping you make money, why is it difficult for you!" Li Ningqiang said with displeasure.
“If you are sincere about cooperating, then participate in the bidding. I believe that with Uncle Li’s abilities, he will definitely be able to win the ‘Riding the Wind’ project,” Gu Xicheng said with a smile.
Li Ningqiang's face darkened:
"Xiao Gu, are you trying to embarrass Uncle Li?"
"How dare I, a junior!" Gu Xicheng's smile grew even colder.
Li Ningqiang slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at him angrily:
"Gu Xicheng, I'm giving you face, don't push your luck!"
Gu Xicheng retorted without hesitation:
"I have a sense of shame, and I urge Uncle Li to have some shame as well. You're getting on in years; don't ruin your reputation in your old age!"
"You just wait! Humph!"
Li Ningqiang left in a huff.
Gu Xicheng suddenly called out to him, "Uncle Li, wait a moment."
Li Ningqiang stopped in his tracks, thinking that Gu Xicheng was scared, but when he turned around, his contract was thrown at him.
"Take the contract with you. This thing is too dirty; I don't have a trash can to throw it in here!"
"you……"
Li Ningqiang was so angry that his face turned pale and then red, but he couldn't say a word and could only walk away.
As he reached the door, he bumped into Lu Qing, who had just woken up.
"Get away!"
Li Ningqiang shoved Lu Qing hard, and Lu Qing almost fell over.
Falling down is a minor matter, but dropping the mochi she was holding was a major one.
Gu Xicheng rushed out, frowning as he looked at her: "Are you alright?"
Lu Qing puffed out her cheeks, looking displeased, and glared angrily at Li Ningqiang's departing figure.
"I'm fine, but he'll be in trouble soon!"
Gu Xicheng thought she was standing up for him, and his heart warmed.
"Okay! Don't be angry anymore!"
"I'm serious, there's a little devil crawling on his back, he won't live much longer!"
Lu Qing watched Li Ningqiang walk away. The little ghost on his back seemed to sense Lu Qing's gaze and turned to look at her.
Gu Xicheng immediately glanced at the others in the conference room, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that they all looked normal.
Lu Qing spoke in a low voice, so they probably didn't hear him.
It's best to keep these bizarre things to a minimum, as long as they don't involve you personally.
In the evening, Gu Xicheng took Lu Qing out for dinner before sending her back to school.
Upon learning that Lu Qing had almost been injured by Chen Jiayun today, the other three in the dormitory were extremely worried and made several phone calls, but Lu Qing did not bring his phone.
Gu Fei learned from Gu Xicheng that Lu Qing was safe.
She was waiting at the school gate before she even arrived.
"Qingqing, you're finally back! Did you have a good time with my brother today?" Gu Fei asked with a smile.
Lu Qing nodded. Of course she was happy after eating so much delicious food.
Lu Qing was happy, so Gu Fei was relieved.
"We have evening self-study tonight, it's almost time, let's hurry up and go!" Gu Fei urged.
"I need to go back and get a book first. You go ahead!"
Lu Qing had asked for leave, but Gu Fei hadn't, so she couldn't be late.
Gu Fei: "Okay! I'll go first then. I'll wait for you to go back to the dorm together after evening self-study."
Lu Qing nodded: "Okay!"
When Lu Qing returned to the dormitory, Leng Wei and Yang Xiwen had already gone to the classroom, leaving only Cheng Yiyi shivering while clutching the paper figure.
Hearing a noise, she was terrified.
"Who...who!"
Lu Qing was startled by the fruit knife that was sticking out from behind the curtains:
"It's me!"
Cheng Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Lu Qing.
"It's you!"
"Lu Qing, I heard you were almost attacked by an AIDS patient today. Are you alright?" Cheng Yiyi asked with concern.
"I'm fine, but you look terrible!"
Lu Qing climbed onto the bed and, seeing her haggard face, comforted her:
"Don't worry too much. Trust me, with the paper effigy here, you'll be fine."
Cheng Yiyi lowered her head helplessly: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I can't control myself at all."
"As soon as I close my eyes, I think about all sorts of ways I could die. The more I think about it, the less I can sleep, and the less I can sleep, the more I think about it."
Lu Qing glanced at the time:
"It's 6:30 now. You were born at 8:50. As long as these two hours pass, everything will be fine."
Cheng Yiyi nodded slightly, but her nervousness remained undiminished.
Lu Qing didn't dare tell her that the deathly aura between her brows was growing stronger.
However, as long as the paper doll performs normally, Cheng Yiyi will not die.
"Stay in the dormitory and don't leave the paper figure. Also, don't let the paper figure get damaged!" Lu Qing instructed.
After calming Cheng Yiyi down, Lu Qing took the books and went to the classroom.
She entered just as the doorbell rang, and Yang Xiwen and Leng Wei quickly invited her over.
After Lu Qing sat down and wiped his sweat, he was about to open his book when his homeroom teacher, Fang Minjing, walked over.
"Lu Qing, how did your checkup go today?"
Lu Qing: "The results were all negative, so we should be fine."
Fang Minjing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."
"By the way! Cheng Yiyi from your dorm has been on leave for several days. How is she?"
"Um... she's fine, just had a fever, but she's almost recovered now and should be able to resume military training tomorrow."
Lu Qing lied, her back dripping with cold sweat. After all, she had been taught a lesson for lying last time, and she was still apprehensive.
Fang Minjing keenly noticed that Lu Qing's expression was a bit off, but she didn't ask any further questions.
He went to the girls' dormitory alone after roll call.
Her intuition told her that Cheng Yiyi's condition was more than just a simple illness.
As a class teacher, she has an obligation to care about the health and safety of every student.
She arrived at the dormitory and knocked on the door: "Cheng Yiyi, are you there?"
Upon hearing her homeroom teacher's voice, Cheng Yiyi quickly got out of bed and went to open the door:
"T-Teacher, what brings you here?"
Seeing Cheng Yiyi's pale face, Fang Minjing was shocked:
"Didn't Lu Qing say you were alright? Why do you still look so pale?"
Cheng Yiyi forced a smile: "Teacher, I'm fine."
"No! I'm taking you to the hospital!"
Cheng Yiyi quickly refused, "No need, no need! Teacher, it's just a minor illness, I'll be fine after tonight."
"Cheng Yiyi, I am your class teacher. I have to take responsibility for you. You must come to the hospital with me!" Fang Minjing said firmly.
"No way! I'm staying in the dorm, I'm not going anywhere!"
Cheng Yiyi quickly stepped back and returned to the paper figure's side.
Fang Minjing entered the dormitory and saw the eerie paper figure, which terrified her.
"Cheng Yiyi, what are you holding?"
"Teacher, please don't worry about me. I have to stay in the dormitory with it. Only if I stay with it can I survive!"
Cheng Yiyi was trembling all over, and tears streamed from her bloodshot eyes.
Fang Minjing thought Cheng Yiyi had lost her mind, so she quickly took out her phone to call an ambulance.
"Cheng Yiyi, don't be afraid, I'll call a doctor for you right away!"
Cheng Yiyi was terrified: "No! Don't call an ambulance!"
There are only 50 minutes left until 8:50. If she can get through these 50 minutes, she can live.
That ambulance wouldn't save her life; it might even take it away.
Seeing that Fang Minjing ignored her, Cheng Yiyi rushed over to grab the phone.
"Cheng Yiyi, calm down!" Fang Minjing shouted.
"Teacher, please, please don't call an ambulance! Don't call it!!!"
During their struggle, the two bumped into the bed, and the fruit knife that Cheng Yiyi used for self-defense lay precariously beside the bed.
