Chapter 91
The next morning, Xiao Peiyin woke up from the hospital bed with a splitting headache.
Because you disgust me
Last night, before she fainted, she only remembered these words...
"Awake?" The doctor pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at the medical records, checked the infusion status, and continued, "You have a bit of moderate anemia. You should eat foods that replenish blood and iron, and combine work and rest."
"No problem, you can be discharged today!"
"Thank you, doctor."
"Yeah," the doctor nodded and turned around and asked, "Is your friend gone?"
“!”
friend?
Seeing her puzzled expression, the doctor said, "Isn't the woman who brought you here yesterday your friend? She's quite pretty!"
"I saw she was still here during my rounds last night. If you're discharged from the hospital in this condition, it's best to have someone with you," the doctor instructed.
Cunxi sent her here...
After the doctor left, Xiao Peiyin leaned against the bed, his eyes dim, and the infusion needle in his hand had been removed.
The phone rang
She picked it up and saw that it was Cheng Sheng calling.
"Sister Pei Yin..." Cheng Sheng's cheerful voice came: "Where are you? I have something to tell you! It's very important!"
"I'm... in the hospital. What's going on?"
"In the hospital? What happened? Is it again..."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"No... I'm just a little anemic." Xiao Peiyin pursed her lips tightly. Just as she was about to say that nothing was wrong, she heard Cheng Sheng anxiously say over there: "I'll come over now!"
The call was hung up
“…”
About half an hour later, the door of the ward was pushed open and Cheng Sheng walked in carrying a bag of fruit.
"Sister Pei Yin" put the fruit aside, Cheng Sheng took her hand and asked, "Why are you anemic? Have you not been eating well recently?"
"I..." Xiao Peiyin paused: "I have no appetite..."
"How can that be!" Cheng Sheng curled his lips and complained to her: "You are already such a grown-up, and you always go to the hospital. If you can't take care of yourself like this, I will find someone to look after you!"
Xiao Peiyin laughed hoarsely, her pale cheeks full of fatigue: "Who do you want to look after me?"
Cheng Sheng was peeling an apple when he paused, thinking of the woman he saw at the entrance of the coffee shop that day. The corners of his mouth curled up: "Of course I'm looking for someone who can keep an eye on you!"
Cheng Sheng sat aside, coughed lightly, changed his tone, and said seriously: "Sister Pei Yin, I...saw her!"
Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down.
"Just the day before yesterday! At the door of the coffee shop, she came back!" Cheng Sheng's excitement was beyond words.
"I... know," Xiao Peiyin replied indifferently, her tone very lonely. If it weren't for what she said yesterday, this should have made her happy. Cheng Sheng saw that she was not surprised at all. He rolled his eyes and immediately reacted. He excitedly pulled her hand: "Sister Peiyin, you know?"
"Yeah, I know." Xiao Peiyin nodded, and the apple in her hand had no taste.
"So you saw it?"
"Um…"
"Ahhh!" Cheng Sheng excitedly jumped onto the hospital bed, grabbed Xiao Peiyin's hand, and shook it, "You two finally met!"
"Have you said anything? Have you clarified those misunderstandings?"
Dirty chopsticks are not acceptable!
I can't kiss you because you make me sick
Those two sentences were like knives, cutting through all her nerves in her brain. Xiao Peiyin smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No..."
Cheng Sheng lowered his eyes in disappointment, and after a few seconds, he suddenly looked up again: "It's okay, I'll find a chance to explain it clearly!"
"The fact that you can still meet again means your fate has not yet ended. Sister Pei Yin, God is giving you another chance!"
Is it really not over yet?
Pei Yin smiled bitterly and said to herself: "Maybe, it's better not to say it. I... don't want her to get involved in my messy life again."
"Sister Pei Yin, what are you talking about! Don't you want to start over?"
Xiao Peiyin was stunned, but she didn't deny it. She thought about it, even in her dreams!
"Or do you not love Sister Cunxi anymore?"
"No, I love her!" Xiao Peiyin replied without hesitation.
"That's fine."
"But, she...seems to hate me!" Thinking of those words, my heart aches. That look and tone are indeed disgusting.
“…”
Cheng Sheng forgot that she only knew Pei Yin's feelings, but she didn't know Gu Cunxi's feelings. What if she didn't love him anymore after four years?
She recalled the day when the car passed by her at the entrance of the coffee shop. Although it was just a quick glance, she saw clearly that the person in the car was very different from four years ago. She was driving a luxury car with an indifferent expression, as if she came from the sky. And the beautiful woman next to her, she wondered what the relationship between the two was.
"Ahem, Sister Pei Yin..." Cheng Sheng paused, making a draft in his mind, and comforted her: "Although Sister Cunxi looks a little cold, I know she is a loyal person. If she really hates you as you said, it just means she still cares about you!"
"If she really doesn't care anymore, she must be indifferent!"
"You just have a misunderstanding. I believe that as long as you clarify the misunderstanding, she will love you as always."
Xiao Peiyin didn't respond. She accepted Cheng Sheng's comfort, but in her heart she didn't agree. She didn't tell Cheng Sheng what he said last night. She was just downplaying it. It wasn't dislike, it was disgust...
She felt sick.
…
In the Nansheng Technology conference room, a meeting had just ended and everyone left, leaving Gu Cunxi sitting in the middle.
She hadn't slept all night last night. She left the hospital while Pei Yin was still asleep, because she didn't know how they would face each other when she woke up. So she fled at dawn.
After coming out of the meeting room, she heard Pei Yin's name when passing by the sales department, and her steps stopped immediately.
"Mr. Fu, Pei Yin just called and asked if you could take a day off. She couldn't get through to you..."
“…”
After what happened yesterday, Fu Bowen concluded that there was some kind of conflict between her and Mr. Gu. In front of so many people yesterday, anyone could see that Mr. Gu was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Fu Bowen is best at adapting dishes to different people.
"No!"
"She's been absent from work without reason!"
Gu Cunxi stood at the door and heard everything clearly. She walked in with a frown. Fu Bowen saw her and immediately stood up and walked over to her: "Mr. Gu..."
She looked around
There was no one at a workstation in the corner...
"That seat..." Gu Cunxi raised his finger and pointed over there: "Where is the person?"
"Uh..." Fu Bowen paused: "I'm absent from work, Mr. Gu..."
"Are you absent from work?" Gu Cunxi turned around, narrowed his eyes, and continued to ask, "Didn't you ask for leave?"
Fu Bowen stood there hesitating
"I'm asking you, didn't she ask for leave?" Gu Cunxi walked over and looked at Fu Bowen with a dangerous look.
"She, no... no!" Fu Bowen lied boldly.
Silence all around
"I don't accept excuses for absenteeism!" Gu Cunxi said.
"So...what does Mr. Gu mean?"
"Call me. You can be absent from work, but give me a reason first!"
Fu Bowen was worried that the matter would get out of hand, so he picked up the phone and walked out, but Gu Cunxi stopped him and said, "Just call here, what are you doing outside?"
Fu Bowen was stunned on the spot
"Turn on speakerphone! I want to listen!" Gu Cunxi looked at him and sneered
The phone rang a few times and was picked up.
"Boss Fu" was her gentle and soft voice, but it was extremely weak. Gu Cunxi frowned imperceptibly. Fu Bowen pretended to be righteous and confident: "If you don't come to work, why don't you ask for leave!"
There was silence on the other side for a moment
"Mr. Fu, I'm calling..."
"Who did you call? The sales department stipulates that you must apply for leave directly to your superiors. Did you call me?" Fu Bowen interrupted and glanced at Gu Cunxi who was standing beside him.
"Your call just now..."
"What's the reason for your leave?"
"I'm not feeling well..."
Fu Bowen looked up at the person next to him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. Gu Cunxi stood aside and nodded.
"Then you should have a good rest for a day!"
After hanging up the phone, Fu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief
"Since you're not feeling well, just treat it as sick leave!" She raised her eyebrows and said coldly, turning to walk out and then stopped at the door: "Director Fu!"
The voice was ethereal and ghostly, and Fu Bowen was startled when he heard it: "Boss Gu, is there anything else?"
"Give me the sick leave note once it's approved!"
Fu Bowen is a man with too many thoughts and is too slick. She hates him!
In the office, Gu Cunxi signed and reviewed documents one by one, put them aside, and rubbed her forehead. She hadn't slept all night last night, and her eyelids seemed to be fighting in the afternoon.
"Mr. Gu, you're looking for me." Xiao Nuo knocked on the door and walked in.
"Um"
"Give this to the person in charge of the staff cafeteria downstairs," Gu Cunxi handed over the order. "All soups for the next week will follow this recipe!"
Xiao Nuo took it and looked at it.
"Scallop, red date, black chicken soup, three red soup, lotus root and beef brisket soup, Polygonum multiflorum, red date, and egg soup, pork liver... soup, and donkey-hide gelatin, sesame, and walnut soup."
Xiao Nuo softly read out the soups one by one, causing Gu Cunxi to frown and glance at her.
"Boss Gu, this..." Xiao Nuo looked embarrassed and pouted.
"Improve everyone's diet!" Gu Cunxi said calmly as he flipped through the documents.
“…”
The list in his hand listed a series of soups for replenishing qi and blood. Xiao Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This wasn't a staff meal at all, it was a recipe for sick patients. Drinking these seven soups for seven consecutive days would definitely give a normal person a nosebleed...
"Boss Gu, but this soup..." Xiao Nuo hesitated and said, "What should I say? This is too nutritious."
"Is there any problem?" Gu Cunxi took his eyes off the document and looked at her and asked
"This recipe is... there's nothing wrong with it, except..." Xiao Nuo hesitated to speak.
"What is it?"
"These dishes are time-consuming and labor-intensive to make, and the cost is very high. We have hundreds of people in our company."
"This month's budget for the staff cafeteria has been increased by 10%. Regarding manpower...each person will receive an additional 3,000. This will be debited from the company account first, and I will make the payment in my personal name later."
“…”
Xiao Nuo was stunned and speechless
"Any more questions?" Gu Cunxi raised his eyes.
"No...no more, I'll give the order right away." Xiao Nuo took the list and turned to leave, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Does it start tomorrow?"
Gu Cunxi paused and thought for a moment. She remembered that Fu Bowen only granted her one day off, so she would come tomorrow.
"Yes! Starting from tomorrow"
Xiao Nuo looked at the list in her hand and felt something was wrong. It was supposed to improve everyone's diet, but it turned out to be all blood-tonifying soup. And Boss Gu had just said that she would pay the bill in her personal name...
In personal capacity
“!”
Xiao Nuo suddenly realized that it was probably for the company's people, otherwise why would they not use the company's account but an individual's account instead? Moreover, this bill was basically a sick meal!
Could it be that, for someone, he took advantage of everyone?
Has anyone in the company been sick recently?
