Old Madam Lu’s lion-like roar almost blew the roof off the house.
Shen Qiqi frowned. This old lady is causing trouble again!
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said to Dr. Liu, "Dr. Liu, please take care of Lu Qing first. I'll be back soon."
She walked to the door in two steps and saw Old Mrs. Lu with her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to eat someone.
Shen Qiqi knew that reasoning with her at this time was like playing the lute to a cow, so it would be better to fight and resolve the issue quickly.
"Old lady, if you have anything to say, please wait a moment. Lu Qing is the most important thing now." After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, before Old Lady Lu could react, she turned and went into the house and began to arrange the transfer in an orderly manner.
She first asked a familiar aunt in the village to help take care of the chickens and ducks at home, and then called the project team to ask them to ensure the normal operation of the project.
After everything was arranged, she walked over to Lu Qing and carefully helped him up.
A group of people, including Dr. Liu and several enthusiastic neighbors, worked together to lift Lu Qing onto the ox cart.
Shen Qiqi held Lu Qing's hand tightly, and felt the warmth in his palm, and her heart was slightly relieved.
The ox cart was shaking, and Lu Qing's face turned even paler. Cold sweat broke out, and Shen Qiqi's heart was also tightened.
"Qiqi, don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Qing said weakly, but his tone was soothing, as if he was comforting a frightened child.
He looked at Shen Qiqi, the tenderness in his eyes was like the warm sun in winter, dispelling the uneasiness in her heart.
Along the way, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to take her eyes off Lu Qing for a moment.
She looked at his closed eyes, and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, making her feel blocked.
She secretly vowed to make Lu Qing healthy again.
Finally arriving at the town's hospital, Shen Qiqi hurriedly went through the hospitalization procedures.
When she saw the number on the bill, she gasped. This was simply a robbery!
She clutched the bill tightly, silently calculating the family savings in her mind.
"How much does it cost?" Lu Qing's hoarse voice broke her thoughts.
"It's not much, don't worry about it, just have a good rest." Shen Qiqi said casually, trying hard to force a smile on her face, not wanting to make Lu Qing worry.
However, Lu Qing saw through her disguise. "Qiqi," his tone was filled with helplessness and guilt. He didn't want to be a burden to her.
The two were silent, and the ward was filled with low pressure.
At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open with a "bang", and an uninvited guest appeared at the door.
The appearance of Partner Chen was like a bomb, instantly detonating the powder keg in the ward.
He folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the door frame, his "I'm here just to cause trouble" attitude making Shen Qiqi want to kick him out.
"Chen Qiqi, let me ask you again, can you still go ahead with this project? I don't want to throw money down the drain!" Partner Chen's tone was like Party A's father scolding Party B, and every word was filled with impatience.
His face was so gloomy, as if it had just been dug out of a coal mine, making people feel unlucky when they saw it.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
She walked up to her partner Chen, her eyes firm, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath: "Boss Chen, what you said is not right. How is the project progressing? Don't you know? We have been working overtime day and night these days. Open your eyes and look at this ward. Lu Qing is so tired for this project!" She pointed at the pale Lu Qing on the hospital bed, her tone filled with anger and heartache.
Partner Chen sneered and said disdainfully, "Don't use these moral blackmails to blackmail me, I only look at the results! The project is not improving now, and I have already invested a lot of money. Why should I continue to invest?" He had a tough attitude, as if saying, "If you don't give me an explanation, I will withdraw my investment immediately." The air was full of gunpowder.
Shen Qiqi knew he would use this trick.
She had long expected that her partner Chen would come to trouble her because of Lu Qing's hospitalization.
She smiled slightly, pulled out a carefully prepared document from her bag, and handed it to her partner, Chen. "Boss Chen, take a look at this! This is the result of our project team's work over the past few days, along with the profit forecast for the next three months. I guarantee you'll be amazed by it."
Partner Chen took the information suspiciously, flipped through a few pages, and his brows gradually relaxed.
There was surprise on his face at first, and then a look of recognition slowly appeared on his face.
He put down the information in his hand, and the look he gave Shen Qiqi became different.
Shen Qiqi looked at the reaction of her partner Chen and felt secretly happy.
She knew that as long as she had real substance, she could impress these capitalists.
Who can resist money these days?
"How is it, Boss Chen? Do you still think this project is not good?" Shen Qiqi raised an eyebrow and asked with a hint of pride in her tone.
Partner Chen did not answer. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly grabbed Shen Qiqi's hand, his eyes...
Lu Qing held Shen Qiqi's hand on the hospital bed, his eyes full of love and dependence.
He gently stroked Shen Qiqi's hand, the touch of his fingertips was gentle and firm, as if conveying silent comfort and strength.
Shen Qiqi's heartbeat accelerated, happiness overflowed in her heart, her cheeks flushed slightly, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.
Partner Chen looked at this scene, and the harsh look in his eyes softened a little.
His tone also softened a lot: "Old Lu, you're seriously injured. The project..."
