Sometimes he could even see the typing prompt on the other end...
But there was no reply from the girl.
He knew she was still angry with him, but it didn't matter. He was going back anyway, and he'd find a way to make her happy later.
With that thought in mind, Ji Yuzhi quickly ended the evening call.
He closed the window, leaving only a small crack.
Because the virus can be transmitted through droplets and can survive independently for up to three days.
Therefore, orders were issued nationwide to ban the use of air conditioners.
Even in the cold winter, they cannot turn on the air conditioner to keep warm.
Fortunately, there is heating in the north during winter.
He opened a crack to let in fresh air.
After drying his hair, he lay down to sleep.
He can go back in one more day.
Ji Yuzhi thought about it for a while and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, the entourage waited for Ji Yuzhi for a long time but did not see him.
The top leader is still waiting.
Ji Yuzhi's boss anxiously checked his watch. This kid wasn't usually this unreliable. What happened this time?
He gave a wink to his secretary behind him, and the man broke away from the group to go find someone.
Contrary to our expectations of being aloof and unapproachable, the high-ranking leader smiled and said without any airs, "Young people sleep better than us old folks. It's alright. There's still time."
"Yes, yes, yes. This kid isn't usually like this; he must have run into some trouble."
"Then it would be best to go and take a look." The top leader also sent someone over.
The fact that they are willing to send someone means that Ji Yuzhi can still be saved.
Ji Yuzhi's leader wiped his sweat.
The secretary arrived at Ji Yuzhi's door, where a "Do Not Disturb" sign was still hanging on the doorknob.
He was a little annoyed. What time was it? Why wasn't he awake yet? Was it because people had been living well for too long that they became arrogant?
He knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
The knocking grew louder, and the rhythm of the doorbell rang reflected just how impatient the visitor was.
Finally, with no other option, and seeing that the big boss's secretary had arrived, he quickly took out the spare room key.
Ji Yuzhi wasn't unaware of the sound; he was just sitting on the edge of the bed, still in a daze.
Hearing the music from the key card swipe, he quickly ran to the door.
The secretary had barely opened the door a crack when it was slammed shut.
The secretary was stunned for a moment, then her displeasure was written all over her face.
"Mr. Ji, what do you mean?"
Ji Yuzhi remained silent for a long time.
"Mr. Ji!" Finally, the secretary of the top leader also spoke up.
Ji Yuzhi slowly opened his mouth, his tone calm, but the content of his words was terrifying: "I can't go out today."
The secretary wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but considering that the big boss's secretary was still there, and that the secretary was also his superior, he held back.
"What's going on?" the big boss's secretary asked.
"Please tell everyone that I have a fever. I will be self-isolating in the hotel starting today. Please have a doctor come to test me for infection if my fever does not subside by tomorrow."
"We must strengthen the presence of several officers around us today to ensure their safety. We also need to test them after the event, but I suggest canceling today's schedule to ensure everything goes smoothly."
The secretary unconsciously took two steps back: "You have a fever!"
The senior leader's secretary frowned and knocked on the door to signal, "I understand. I'll have someone bring you a thermometer later. Take your temperature every hour and record it. Take good care of yourself."
"OK."
Both of them knew the seriousness of the situation and left in a hurry.
Once the sound disappeared, Ji Yuzhi, as if all his strength had been drained, slid down the door panel little by little and collapsed to the ground.
He desperately wanted to tell himself that he was fine, that it was just a normal fever caused by catching a cold after leaving the window open all night.
But reason told him that he had to give this fever 1000% of his energy.
Because he is having difficulty breathing, which is very unusual.
The two secretaries returned and relayed Ji Yuzhi's words concisely and without beating around the bush.
The leaders were all taken aback.
Finally, the top leader declared: "Suspend the trip and quarantine everyone."
"Call the doctor over immediately."
Then everyone went back to their rooms.
The hotel was so quiet it was as if no one had ever been there.
Within half an hour, medical staff, fully covered in protective suits, repeatedly sprayed every corner of the hotel with specialized disinfectant.
They also conducted fever checks on everyone in the room.
Fortunately, only Ji Yuzhi is currently experiencing a fever.
The bad thing is that even so, everyone still has to face isolation and multiple tests every day.
Ji Yuzhi sat on the ground, his vision blurring intermittently.
Not long after, the door was knocked on again.
He forced himself to stay alert through the door and said, "I'll leave it by the door and get it after you leave."
The medical staff outside were moved by Ji Yuzhi's self-awareness. The person in charge among them said, "Mr. Ji, we are medical staff from the provincial hospital. Don't be afraid. We have taken very good protective measures. You can open the door directly and we will conduct a professional test."
With his right hand braced against the floor, Ji Yuzhi struggled to his feet. He opened the door, a faint smile tugging at his pale face.
"This is troublesome."
The young nurse behind her was on the verge of tears.
Two young and strong doctors helped Ji Yuzhi back to bed.
"Let's take your temperature first." They used both a temperature gun and a thermometer.
39.2.
A completely high fever, the kind of fever that would normally require a trip to the hospital for IV fluids to develop into pneumonia.
The doctors first tried to lower his temperature with physical methods, and then quickly asked him questions.
How are you feeling right now?
"Feeling weak all over, having difficulty breathing, and experiencing tinnitus." It's different talking to someone who has something in their mind; they can often give you the information you need the fastest.
The doctors nodded: "I'll take a sample for you to test first. Please keep a positive attitude; these symptoms may not necessarily be diagnosed as a viral infection. We will get you tested as soon as possible and provide you with the best treatment."
"This is the emergency call button. We have someone stationed next door. If there is any abnormality, please press the button and our medical staff will arrive immediately."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my pleasure, it's you who's worked hard."
The medical staff left quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the room was empty again.
Ji Yuzhi had fever-reducing patches on his body, and he also sprayed himself with alcohol.
My deepest hope is that this is just a common cold.
He lay there, reaching for his phone on the bedside table.
He wanted a vacation, a rest, but not this kind of vacation where he was stuck here. He wanted to go back to see his wife and children.
Ji Yuzhi put his arm over his eyes, trying to maintain a good mindset. At this crucial moment, who could do that?
A tear slid down her arm and face, disappearing without a trace onto the sheets.
