Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The fourth drawing
Che Wanting was still taken back to the police station.
After getting off the cruise ship, Pei Qing heard that Zhan Shengguang was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. He couldn't help but sigh: God is really kind. It is the worst for a person like Zhan Shengguang that he didn't die but became paralyzed. I wonder if all the beautiful women around him have run away now.
The next morning, Pei Qing prepared to go see Zhan Shengguang.
Li Muxu said to her: "The Zhan family is crying and making a fuss right now, why are you joining in the fun?"
Pei Qing: "I'll go and take a look. Qiao Zhizhi came to me last night and said that she couldn't act as well as Lian Jiao. Lian Jiao is still in the hospital crying with Zhan Shengguang. I've known Lian Jiao for so many days. It's not too much for me to send her a fruit basket."
Li Muxu said: "You just want to see Zhan Shengguang get into trouble."
Pei Qing said coquettishly: "Hey, big brother, I'm just taking a look. It's not against the law. Aren't you going to work? Let's go."
She pushed Li Muxu out of the house, then picked a car at random from the garage and rushed to the hospital.
Qiao Zhizhi said that Zhan Shengguang is now living in a private ward on the top floor, and the Zhan family is on high alert and does not allow anyone to come in.
Pei Qing bought a fruit basket at the hospital entrance with a smile on her face. She took a long time to choose the one with the most beautiful shell.
After choosing the fruit basket, she walked straight to the elevator.
There was a woman at the elevator entrance, wearing sunglasses.
Pei Qing took a look and recognized that it was Lian Jiao.
She said "Huh?" and asked, "Lian Jiao, aren't you upstairs taking care of Zhan Shengguang?"
Lian Jiao had her head down, but when she heard Pei Qing's words, she suddenly raised her head. She pursed her lips and gave a stiff smile.
"Is it Miss Pei, are you here to see Sheng Guang?"
Pei Qing nodded: "Can't I go up?"
Lian Jiao: "Sheng Guang doesn't want to see anyone now. If Miss Pei wants to see him, it will be a bit difficult."
While she was talking, she never took off her sunglasses.
Pei Qing felt strange and quickly took off Lian Jiao's sunglasses.
There was a dark bruise in Lian Jiao's right eye socket, which must have appeared recently.
Pei Qing frowned immediately: "Did Zhan Shengguang hit you?"
Lian Jiao snatched back the sunglasses and said vaguely, "I bumped into it by accident."
Pei Qing was speechless: "You really didn't listen to a word I said. Do you plan to spend your whole life with Zhan Shengguang? No matter how rich he is, the rest of his life will be like this. Now he is good and he even beats people. How can you live like this? Isn't it better to just run your salon business?"
Lian Jiao put her sunglasses back on.
"No one cares about him now except me. The doctor said that as long as he does rehabilitation training, there is hope that he can stand up again."
Pei Qing said without mercy: "Yes, when he can stand up, the first thing he will do is kick you. You have seen how miserable he is lying in bed and unable to take care of himself. With Zhan Shengguang's character, he will definitely kick you when he gets better!"
Lian Jiao bit her lower lip tightly.
Pei Qing handed the fruit basket to Lian Jiao: "Here you go. You two better be together forever and stop causing trouble for others. I won't go up there anymore. I wish you a long and happy life!"
She walked out of the hospital empty-handed, looking at the bright sunshine, feeling that the world was still very warm, and it was good to stay away from all this bullshit.
Pei Qing was driving his car and was about to go home when Qiao Zhizhi called. She had been persistent in coaxing Pei Qing recently and found that it was easier to coax Pei Qing than to coax a man because there was no need to go to bed. So she enjoyed giving Pei Qing warmth every day.
Pei Qing advised Qiao Zhizhi to find a regular class as usual.
She said, "With your work and rest schedule, don't let yourself get killed by a sudden death."
Qiao Zhizhi didn't care: "Even if I die suddenly, I will be more respectable than Zhan Shengguang."
Pei Qing was so annoyed by her that he gave her an ultimatum: "I found a job for you. Recently, V's has opened a new store on Longhe Road. I asked them to reserve a position for you to work as a clerk."
Qiao Zhizhi was as if struck by a critical strike: "Me? Be a clerk? I won't go!"
Pei Qing: "Then don't contact me anymore. I won't answer your calls."
Qiao Zhizhi: "Oh, no, it's tiring to be a shop assistant, and I have to be looked down upon by others."
Pei Qing: "It's better than being reported to the detention center. Okay, if you don't want to go, I'm hanging up now."
Seeing Pei Qing was getting impatient, Qiao Zhizhi finally said, "Go, I'll go, okay? Don't be angry."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qing just waited for the green light. She drove straight ahead, and when she was about to pass the bend, her car was rear-ended. Pei Qing leaned forward and was startled.
She looked back and saw a man who looked like a driver coming out from behind and walking towards her.
Pei Qing got out of the car and walked a few steps to the back of the car. She saw the dented rear of the car and was about to question the person who came when she heard the driver say, "Hello, is this Ms. Pei Qing?"
Pei Qing frowned at him, then looked at the car he was driving, which was a Hongqi.
She touched her phone.
The driver continued, "Don't be nervous. It's just that Director Shen wants to see you."

Pei Qing was invited to have coffee with Director Shen.
Director Shen is already middle-aged, but he is energetic, has a calm face, and seems easy to talk to.
But Pei Qing didn't believe it. She had heard Xu An say many times about the changes that the new chief had brought to the police station. She was tough and would never hesitate when it came to scolding people. She would not be as calm as she appeared.
Pei Qing began to think about what attracted his attention.
Well, she knew that if the authorities wanted to investigate, she would have no choice but to deny it.
But it came too fast!
She couldn't help but curse Che Wanting in her heart. It would be fine if she threatened Lian Jiao, but why did she use her paintings to threaten Lian Jiao?
Look! Something went wrong!
Pei Qing sat obediently opposite Director Shen, trying to appear harmless.
She adhered to the principle of "I won't move unless the enemy does," and waited patiently for Director Shen to speak.
Director Shin poured her coffee and asked if she wanted milk or sugar: "Don't be nervous."
Pei Qing: "Add milk and sugar, thank you."
She held it in both hands.
Director Shen acted decisively and asked, "You just graduated from college this year. What are your thoughts on the future?"
Pei Qing didn't even drink a sip of coffee. When she was suddenly asked about her life plan, she was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't have such a thing as a life plan."
When it comes to life planning, you should take one step at a time!
Don’t think too much and don’t cause yourself trouble. When you can make money, make more. If you can’t make money, go home and rely on your elder brother.
Anyway, big brother is willing to be bitten.
Pei Qing didn't express her thoughts, but Director Shen had roughly figured out what she was thinking.
Director Shin: "Before I came here, my superiors gave me this task. After observing you for a while, I found that your values are very simple."
Pei Qing held the coffee in his hand and thought, is this a compliment? It doesn't seem like it.
Director Shen continued: "I think your abilities need some control, and at the same time, give you some room to develop. What do you think?"
Pei Qing: “Ah?”
She held the coffee in her hand but hadn't taken a sip yet.
She kind of understood, but—
Pei Qing said: "Actually, you know, we already have a policeman in our house, and I know the policeman's schedule."
She praised: "That's great. I don't think I'm suitable for it. I'm actually very free and undisciplined. I don't like being constrained. You see, I graduated and didn't find a job. I just like to make a little money..."
Chief Shin quickly posed a question: “So what will you do if someone provokes you next time?”
Pei Qing: "Provoke me?"
Director Shin: "This is a very likely situation. Just like Che Wanting this time, she sent the preview you drew to the person in the preview. Her method was relatively mild and harmless to you. But if next time, someone creates a murder case to test your ability, what will you do?"
Pei Qing was stumped by the question.
She wanted to say that people with antisocial personalities are still a minority in this world, but if she happened to run into one, she would be extremely unlucky!
You won't hold me responsible then, right?
Director Shin: "You can go home and discuss it with your family. Your company is now in the hands of your eldest brother, so you can have a good talk with him. We really hope to be able to follow your wishes while keeping everything under control."

Pei Qing did not go home, but went to find Li Muxu.
She was familiar with Changlin. As soon as the elevator door opened, a secretary was waiting at the elevator entrance and took her to Li Muxu's office.
The secretary said, "Mr. Li is in a meeting, which is expected to end in 20 minutes. Please wait a moment."
Pei Qing: “Oh.”
She sat on the sofa in the office, staring at the figures on Li Muxu's desk in a daze.
When she was in junior high school, she was obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean and bought a lot of figures, one for each family member.
Pei Qing took the figurine down and stared at it.
Li Muxu walked in from outside and saw Pei Qing holding the figurines. He asked, "There are a lot of figurines at home. Why are you taking mine?"
Pei Qing asked: "Brother, you sit in the office every day, do you feel that you are not free?"
Li Muxu: "What's the problem?"
Pei Qing: "Answer it. Brother, don't always avoid questions you don't want to answer."
Li Muxu: "Then I won't sit in the office. Will you sit there or will Xu An sit there?"
Pei Qing: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Li Muxu chuckled: "What problem did you encounter?"
Pei Qing said honestly: "Xu An's immediate superior came to see me today."
Li Mu paused: "Shen Yashan?"
Pei Qing: "Yes, it's her. I think she wants to take me to the police station."
Li Muxu relaxed again: "It's not impossible to go to the police station. It doesn't matter if there's one police officer or two police officers at home."
Pei Qing: "But - look at Xu An, he works all night every day! He is locked up in a small dark room when he violates the rules! And he encounters some suspects from time to time that he cannot stand. How can he live like this!"
Li Muxu: "But don't you meet many kinds of people during your live broadcasts?"
Pei Qing felt something was wrong: "Why do you seem to support me going?"
Li Muxu: "It's safer than running around alone. Besides, there are always people trying to hack into the Panda TV intranet during this period. I asked someone to reinforce the program. It's okay now, but it will be difficult in the future. Technology is constantly upgrading, and your life is more important."
Pei Qing: "Ah? Why don't you tell me when you bought the company I work for?"
Li Muxu: "I don't remember. Okay, don't think about it for now. I'll take you to dinner. Put down the figurine in your hand."
Pei Qing was taken out of the door by him and sighed while eating the whole meal.
Pei Qing: "My freedom!"
Li Muxu: "If you really don't want to go, just stop the live broadcast and don't paint anymore."
Pei Qing: "How can that be possible? I have been painting for more than ten years!"
Li Muxu looked at her helplessly.
Pei Qing recognized the reality: "Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to Director Shen and sell myself for a good price."
