Chapter 571: Masochistic Tendencies
Hearing Ge Tong's cheerful tone, Dai Qing was silent for a moment and told her that she would not go. If she had time, they could make another appointment to have a cup of coffee together.
In the past two years, cafes have sprung up everywhere. Many people admire foreign things and choose elegant cafes for dates.
There are not many teahouses.
Hearing her tone, Ge Tong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "Okay, let's make another appointment."
She and Su Qi were friends, so she could naturally understand her feelings and did not force it.
Although Dai Qing did not attend Tang Zi's engagement party, she went to the mall and bought a bracelet as a gift and asked He Ning to deliver it on her behalf.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
That morning, Dai Qing had just finished cleaning the yard when there was a knock on the door.
When Dai Qing saw Chu Xu and Secretary Song appear at the door, she was not surprised at all. When she touched Chu Xu's hanging arm, her eyebrows raised.
"You didn't listen."
Chu Xu laughed, "I'm not lying to you. I really listened to your advice and was very careful on the road, but I didn't avoid it. It seems that this disaster is destined for me."
Of course, he was really curious and wanted to verify for himself whether it worked, and this is the result.
He has a mine under development, and some problems occurred at the mine a while ago, so he needs to go there in person to deal with it.
After being reminded by Dai Qing, Song Kaiming directly called the mine and asked the supervisor to bring people to check for safety hazards. Even on the road, there were several cars traveling together, and he was protected in the middle.
But as luck would have it, when passing a section of road around the mountain, the two cars in front passed smoothly, but when the car he was riding in passed, a rock on the hillside became loose and rolled down, hitting the front of the car and causing it to smoke.
If they had moved any faster, both he and Secretary Song would have been crippled.
We took the car in front to the mine. Song Kaiming was still worried about the previous accident, so he personally led people down into the mine to check all safety hazards, thinking that everything was foolproof.
But when he led the technicians into the mine, an accident happened. The mine collapsed, directly breaking the legs of two technicians and one of his arms.
It was two days later when they were rescued, and they have been in the hospital ever since.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he brought Song Kaiming here to worship the gods.
Following Dai Qing into the courtyard, the courtyard was not big, but it was tidy and clean.
"You know what, after going through all of this, I didn't feel that scared at all. Thanks to you for telling me in advance that it wouldn't kill me, but it would only make me suffer."
Hearing this, Dai Qing was speechless. This guy was a little crazy.
"Miss Dai, this is the thank-you gift that Master Wu prepared for you. Thanks to your advance warning, we were able to make sufficient preparations to escape." Secretary Song put two gift boxes and a thick envelope on the table.
Then he bowed deeply to her.
"You are truly a deity."
Dai Qing looked at her serious expression and did not refuse, pouring tea for the two of them.
"Some disasters cannot be avoided. That is fate."
Chu Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw her calm expression. No wonder people said she had a weird temper and was really rude in her words.
"Xiaoqing, you see how miserable I am. Is the disaster all over?"
The steel plate on his arm is still fixed, and if anything happens it will be inconvenient for him to live.
Hearing this and looking at Chu Xu's expectant expression, Dai Qing couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Are you scared?"
"Why not? It's painful to be in pain." Chu Xu's face shuddered and he laughed at himself. "I won't lie in front of the true God. I don't have any other problems except that I'm a little arrogant."
"Not for now. Take good care of yourself." Dai Qing looked at his face. His forehead was bright, and he was wealthy, but he was often in dangerous situations. Fortunately, he was always safe.
"From what Xiaoqing said, will there be danger in the future?" Chu Xu was stunned, his eyes filled with surprise.
"You are in a vortex, it is normal for something to happen. Aren't you used to it?" Dai Qing looked at him. This man was scheming, bold and reckless. He dared to intrude and act, and he must be dangerous.
Hearing Dai Qing's determined tone, Chu Xu was stunned for a moment, but did not object.
"It seems I have to come to your house for advice from time to time. I hope Xiaoqing won't be polite to me."
Chu Xu sat for a while, drank a few cups of tea, then got up and left.
Dai Qing sent the person to the gate and watched the car drive out of the alley before turning back.
Looking at the nutritional supplements on the table, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing. It was as if these people had agreed to give her bird's nests.
I opened the envelope and took a look. It was a brand new stack of Mao Yeye bills, a total of twenty thousand.
It seems that Chu Xu has completely believed in her abilities.
Dai Qing felt bored at home and thought of the orphanage that Wang Ju mentioned. She bought some things and a box of milk powder for the child. She chose a sunny day and took a taxi to the orphanage.
Just as Wang Ju said, the welfare home is located in the suburbs, a little remote, and seems to have been converted from an abandoned factory.
The yard was spacious, but there were some ropes tied up with diapers and some sheets hanging on them.
Occasionally, there would be a burst of crying.
Dai Qing was standing in the yard, and just as she was about to ask someone, an old lady came out of the room opposite, holding a basin full of dirty clothes.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Dean Zhang." Dai Qing smiled and put the bag in her hand on the milk powder box.
"Our dean is in the office. I'll call someone for you."
The lady put the basin on the ground and turned to the office on the far left.
A moment later, a woman in her forties, wearing a gray plaid coat, with short hair and glasses, came in. She had a gentle demeanor and looked like a teacher.
"Comrade, you're looking for me?"
"Hello, Dean Zhang. This is what happened. A little girl was sent to our Gulou community a while ago. I picked her up and came to see her when I had some free time."
"so it is."
Dean Zhang nodded, and when he saw the things on the ground, he quickly called the aunt to help him move them to the office, and asked her to bring the child to Dai Qing to see.
"That child is very well behaved and rarely cries. He is an easy child to take care of."
"I also took care of the child for a day, and he didn't cry much." The more well-behaved a child is, the more pitiful he is.
After a while, the aunt came over with the child in her arms, and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, the child just woke up, I washed her face, she looks energetic."
Dai Qing stood up, looked at the pair of big round eyes, reached out and pinched her little face, then took her and hugged her.
The child looked at her, his eyes flickering, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her hair.
"Hey, this child's hands are very strong, don't pinch them and hurt them." The aunt looked at her and hurried over to shake off the child's hands. "This girl must still remember you."
