Chapter 41
When Yan Qing received the news that Luo Jing had returned to China, he was still a little dazed, as if those things that had happened in the past few years had never happened.
Looking through the car window, he had become thinner and darker.
When Luo Jing saw his old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years, he wanted to act like a steady adult, but he didn't expect that when the two looked at each other, both of them fell apart.
He laughed playfully, "Get in the car, you haven't changed at all."
Yan Qing ignored him and asked, "Does your sister know?"
Luo Jing nodded. He didn't plan to leave this time, so he also informed other relatives. He left resolutely that year. When his relatives in Yuancheng learned that he was coming back, they all asked him to go home first, but Luo Jing refused.
"I'll go back once I'm settled."
"I promise I won't disappear again."
But no one believed him, and finally Yan Qing was brought up, and Zhou Mingshu's parents, Luo Jing's aunt and uncle, spoke up for him.
When they arrived at Luo Jing's place, Yan Qing took a few glances at him and asked him to take his things and follow her.
Luo Jing stood by the window and expressed his attitude: "Xixi, trust me again, I have to walk the future path by myself."
After he left without saying goodbye, Yan Qing told Zhou Mingshu that even if Luo Jing was begging outside, she would not give him a coin. But now seeing him in such a state, she still couldn't harden her heart.
"I'll rent you a better house. Aren't you studying medicine in college? If you want to continue your studies, I'll pay for it, or if you want to find a job."
"Xixi." Yan Qing's words were interrupted. She looked into his eyes. Luo Jing hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "I can't hear in my left ear."
She never imagined that her best friend would become like this.
Yan Qing felt her breathing quicken. She couldn't even hear what Luo Jing said next. She just stared at him, as if she wanted to see through everything that had happened to him in the past few years.
"You." Yan Qing couldn't continue after saying one word. She could feel her voice trembling.
Luo Jing hurried forward and wanted to help her sit down: "Xixi."
"Let's go to the hospital. I'll go find my friends. Haicheng, Beicheng, wherever."
"Xixi, it can't be cured anymore."
The two sat face to face. Yan Qing had calmed down and seemed to have accepted the fact. "Does she know?"
Just then, Luo Jing's cell phone rang, and he showed Yan Qing the screen.
Looking at the phone he placed on his right ear, Yan Qing suddenly felt her eyes a little sore. She looked at him quietly, as if nothing had happened.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Jing continued what he had just been interrupted: "If I tell her, everyone will know."
Yan Qing disagreed: "Are you going to keep it a secret from them forever? Do I have to help you keep it a secret from them forever? Luo Jing, you never bother us. Sometimes I even feel a little strange."
"Give me some time."
Coming out of the rental house, Yan Qing walked in front and stopped. "Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you any further. But if you have any questions, just call me. I'll keep it a secret for you for a while. When you've made up your mind, go ahead and tell them."
"Okay." Luo Jing's eyes were firm.
Just then, a group of people passed by and went upstairs in a mighty manner. Yan Qing took a look and was a little confused, but did not ask any more questions.
"I'm leaving now. Go back and have a good rest."
"Bang." A quilt was thrown down from the window.
The two looked over and glanced at each other, as if they had seen each other somewhere.
Looking at the messy house, Yan Qing was about to question the people in the house, but was stopped by Luo Jing.
This group of people was exactly the same group they saw downstairs.
The leader was a middle-aged woman. Seeing the two young men, she lost her fierce look and asked, "Did you rent the house?"
Luo Jing: "I rented it."
"You've been deceived."
Yan Qing glanced at Luo Jing: "What do you mean? We..."
I was interrupted again. The person who spoke was a man with big tattoos on his arms. He looked a little intimidating. "Sister, don't waste your time talking to them. They deserve to be cheated for trying to get a bargain."
The middle-aged woman glared at the man with tattoos, then turned to look lovingly at the two young people in front of her: "The agent who rented your house is a scammer. I've already called the police. Why don't you call the police too?"
After a while, the police arrived.
There was no lease contract, and the agent had run away, as they had expected. The police officer who came to handle the case listened to the two parties' accounts and sighed, "There have been several similar cases before you."
Yan Qing and Luo Jing looked at each other and asked, "When can the money be recovered?"
Police: "We will contact you if there is any progress."
The landlord was a good person and helped Luo Jing pack his luggage: "I've rented out this place, you should go and see the new house before it gets dark."
The two stood downstairs, Yan Qing: "Let's go, homeless man."
Luo Jing wanted to refuse, but he saw that the suitcase had been dragged away by Yan Qing. He had no choice but to trot after her, carrying two large bags on his shoulders. "Where are we going?"
After arriving at the B&B and checking in, the front desk staff took another look at the two of them.
Ming Xu had just come out of the office and saw this scene. He stood where the two of them couldn't see him and observed secretly.
This man seemed to be the one who was driving just now. Thinking of this, Ming Xu glared at the backs of the two men fiercely, and only came out after confirming that they had entered the elevator.
Seeing the boss, the receptionist immediately became very excited.
But after hearing the boss's order the next second, his previous expression disappeared: "Huh?"
"Ah what?" Ming Xu was impatient and wanted to check it himself.
After getting the man's information, he left satisfied.
In the car, Ming Xu looked at Luo Jing's name carefully, but couldn't figure it out after looking at it for most of the time.
I've never heard her say that she has a younger brother this big?
Mingxu felt a little dispirited. Could it be true?
Thinking of this, he quickly slapped his face: Mingxu, what are you thinking about? It's impossible. With Yan Qing's personality, he is definitely not the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot. Don't scare yourself.
These days, Mingli has been recuperating at home under the pretext of physical and mental injuries. Mingxu has no choice but to go to the company to cover for him, and Mingli's assistant has also temporarily changed his boss.
"Mr. Ming, these are the documents that need to be signed today."
Ming Xu felt a headache. He looked up at his assistant who was still waiting for his signature and said coldly, "Your boss's hand is still intact. Let him sign."
The assistant was a little embarrassed: "But Mr. Ming said you are the boss now."
What I mean is, I'm on vacation, don't come to me.
Ming Xu didn't buy it and asked his assistant, "Who has the final say now?"
Assistant: “You!”
"Here, take these documents and have Mingli sign them. You are not allowed to come back until they are signed." Seeing the assistant's eyes gradually widen in disbelief, Mingxu added, "I am the boss."
Mingli's face turned pale: "He asked you to come, so you came?"
The assistant was in a dilemma. What else could he do? Looking at his boss, who remained unmoved, he pleaded, "Please, just sign it."
After signing, Mingli waved him away quickly. It was so hard not to have to get up early for work and attend meetings. He had to make the most of this wonderful time. It would take forever for such an opportunity to come again.
After solving all this, Mingli held his iPad and skillfully watched game videos.
In the game group, I saw a friend who usually had no time to play games, but today he was breaking his habit and posting interesting videos he had seen in the group.
[F]: Why didn’t Brother L go to work today?
F is Mingli's junior high school classmate. The two became best friends because of games. Until now, F graduated from university and went to study in Country D. He also stayed in Country D to work. In his words, he can retire directly after earning enough money and coming back.
After seeing the message in the group, L Mingli, who was sitting with his legs crossed, drinking juice and watching the video happily, opened the chat box.
[L]: Give yourself some time to relax. You can’t work intensively 365 days a year.
The people in the group were people he had known since he first started playing games. Now there are more than a dozen of them, most of whom are from nearby cities, and a few are abroad. During college, everyone had plenty of time to get together and play games, but until work and life took up most of their time, they gradually played games less and less together.
But their relationship remains deep. Last year, when several people from abroad returned to China, they were received with courtesy.
[chuuh]: I haven't played for a long time. I guess I can't keep up now. My hand speed is not as good as before. I'm getting old. I can't compare to when I was in school.
Chuuh and the other two met in the game. The three of them met in a very dramatic way. At that time, Chuuh was already a high-level player. When he was playing with his small account, he met two noobs. Then the two of them pestered him to play games with them. After a few interactions, they became friends. After more than a year, Chuuh found out that the two were still two little kids, and ordered them to play games after graduating from high school.
The two began to fight a guerrilla war with Chuuh, but were eventually discovered.
[F]: When will chuuh return to China?
[chuuh]: Next year, since my daughter stayed in China for three months, she has been clamoring to return home since she came back. My wife and I don’t want to be here anymore. It’s too boring. It’s better to stay in China.
[L]: Go back quickly.
After seeing the group message, other people in the group also showed up one after another while slacking off at work.
The assistant returned to the company and Ming Xu did not make things difficult for him. He was already upset because of work, and now he saw Yan Qing talking and laughing with a strange man, which made him even more upset. At this time, Ming Li's assistant who suddenly broke in front of him became cannon fodder.
Entering the office, the assistant saw the new boss staring at the computer with a cold face and said tremblingly: "The documents have been signed."
"Well, you can go out."
The assistant who was pardoned was overjoyed and left the office trying hard to suppress his laughter.
The people outside saw him and quickly came forward to ask in a low voice: "How is it?"
"fine."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Ming was a kind person and always had a smile on his face when he treated his subordinates. But this little Mr. Ming was just the opposite. He looked at everyone with a gloomy face, like a living devil.
After learning that Mr. Xiao Ming would be replacing Mr. Ming for a period of time, everyone felt like the sky had fallen. After all, they had never seen Mr. Xiao Ming smile every time he came to the company before.
The assistant knew everyone was worried and comforted them, "It's okay. Mr. Xiao Ming wouldn't eat anyone. If there's anything important, tell me first and I'll go find Mr. Xiao Ming."
This was also what he realized, because most of the things would definitely be pushed to Mr. Ming by Mr. Xiao Ming. If he sorted them out first and then went to him together, Mr. Xiao Ming's face would not get even darker.
Although Mingxu was in the company, his mind had already flown far away.
He stared blankly at the empty computer screen, his mind in a mess. He wanted to ask, but he had no reason, no position, and could not interfere with her making friends.
Yan Qing settled Luo Jing down and told him to stay here with peace of mind, and she would help him find a house.
Luo Jing was not a man who would settle down. After Yan Qing left, he immediately turned on his computer and started looking for a new house. After seeing a small second-floor single-family house, he was attracted and immediately called the contact number left there.
