Fireworks +10
I don’t know where this photo came from.
The people in the photo are Qi Yu and Mr. Li.
Qi Yu was interning at Yian at the time. He asked Director Li to give him some time to talk about his plans and prospects for the company. Because Director Li had to go on a business trip for a week after that day, after get off work, Director Li took him to a quiet cafe and gave him half an hour.
They were sitting by the window and the photo was taken from outside the window.
With just this one photo, Qi Yu was once again misled by public opinion and was labeled with an unwarranted label.
A: Isn't this a 'backdoor' approach? He's so young, and yet this Mr. Qi is finding a way to get promoted!
B: Mr. Qi, you're relying on your beauty to get to the top. So what if "technological elderly care" is just a bunch of empty talk? Aren't they still making money? Yi'an Community's elderly care fees are significantly higher than its peers!
C: They make a lot of money from the elderly under the banner of science and technology. After working hard all their lives, the elderly’s money is finally swallowed up by someone who uses the “back door”.
D: Barrier Yian Community! Barrier Qi Yu! Those who still live in Yian Community, run away!

…
"What the hell is this nonsense?!" Xu Liang woke up early in the morning and saw the public opinion pushed on his phone, and couldn't help but swear.
"What are you talking about?" Qi Yu had just finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. He subconsciously leaned towards Xu Liang, wanting to see the content on her phone.
Xu Liang suddenly retracted his hand and turned the phone screen downwards: "Nothing, just some boring words."
The fresh cedar scent on his body came over and slightly extinguished the flames of anger burning in her body.
Qi Yu raised his eyes and glanced at her face twice. He put his palm on the back of her head and rubbed it slowly. "Let me see what I said that made my girlfriend so angry."
"No, you'd better not look at it..."
Xu Ying believed that even from her perspective, she could not accept Qi Yu being speculated like this, let alone him.
For a person as confident and proud as him, being insulted like this must have been extremely upsetting.
But Qi Yu insisted on looking at it, and said that she was the only mobile phone in the house.
Xu Jing hesitated for two seconds, unable to bear it. Before handing over the phone, he emphasized again and again: "Those words are nonsense, don't take them to heart!"
When the disgusting words came into his sight, Xu Liang bit his lips rhythmically, and a subtle pain came out. He did not dare to take his eyes off Qi Yu for a moment.
I'm already piecing together all sorts of words of comfort in my mind, just waiting to be spoken out loud.
The man suddenly sneered: "Netizens nowadays have quite a rich imagination."
"You call that a rich imagination? This is clearly just idle, malicious speculation!"
"It's just a few words. It's not like I really am."
“…”
Xu Liang suddenly felt that she should be the one being comforted.
Finally, the two of them finished breakfast and left. Qi Yu repeatedly checked Xu Liang's emotional state: "Don't think about those words. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
To be honest, Xu Liang's mentality was indeed a little unstable after being hit by the overwhelming negative comments online.
Qi Yu is not only her boyfriend now, but also her to a certain extent.
She didn't want to be accused of a crime that didn't belong to her because of these inexplicable remarks.
She was indeed a little anxious.
Hopefully this matter can be resolved as quickly as last time.
But at this moment, she suddenly calmed down.
Before getting in the car, she suddenly rushed to Qi Yu and hugged him with open arms.
The person in his arms paused for a moment, then said, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Xu Kyung suddenly smiled, "Sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Wait until you come back."
Xu Liang got into the car without any more worries.
…
It was supposed to be a day off, but Xu Liang arrived at work on time.
Liu Zhu also worked overtime.
Assistant Liu hurriedly reported that he had received a call from the community staff, saying that several elderly people's families had come to request a refund and wanted to be discharged immediately.
Several family members who requested to take their elderly parents away seemed to have come together and started making trouble at the service station.
Xu Liang took a deep breath, and a slight tightness began to spread from her neck, gradually climbing up like a vine, and finally wrapped around her entire scalp, making her numb.
It was like a huge wave crashing towards her, and before the wetness ended, an even bigger wave rushed over from not far away, trying to swallow her completely.
Although Xu Liang had never encountered such a thing, she kept telling herself at this moment: she was innocent, she needed to solve the problem, and she needed to solve the problem of the retirement community.
As for the public opinions, we should do the public relations if necessary, call the police if necessary, and the remaining rumors can only be debunked by the final results.
He frowned again and said sternly to Assistant Liu beside him, "Find a few staff members who are good at speaking and go to the community to see if they can appease the families. If they can, that's the best. If not, just go through the normal discharge procedures for them."
"yes."
As soon as Assistant Liu left, the internal phone rang.
Xu Liang stood in front of the desk, and the moment he carefully picked up the phone, she instantly understood -
Mr. Li also came to work overtime today.
During the few minutes from Qi Yu's office to Director Li's office, Xu Liang once again recalled what he had said to Qi Yu last night.
She thought Director Li would be as cold and serious as he was on the phone last night, but he surprised her again.
"Sit down." Director Li raised his chin slightly and motioned her to sit down.
"Have the community's system problems been resolved?" This was the first question Mr. Li asked.
Xu Liang placed his hands on his legs, with the thumb of his right hand pressing on the base of his left hand, rubbing it up and down.
She pursed her lips and replied, "Not yet."
Director Li was neither happy nor angry, neither displeased nor serious, and remained silent for another two seconds.
"I believe you've also seen the negative news online."
Xu Liang nodded.
"Xiao Qi, you've been with me for more than three years. I know your abilities and your character."
After a series of words that clearly laid the groundwork, Xu Liang waited for what would happen next.
"But it's one thing for me to understand it, and it's another thing for others to understand it. Sometimes, a few words from others may destroy the reputation that Yian has built over the past few years, but sometimes, their words can also reverse the damaged reputation."
"You are a smart person, you should know what I mean."
Xu Liang wasn't sure if this was what she was thinking, but she guessed that it should be -
Mr. Li wants to use public opinion to change public opinion.
However, this approach would probably require Qi Yu as a price to pay.
As expected, Director Li continued, "Before the community's problems are resolved, and before President Zheng returns to testify for you, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from other directors and to prevent continued negative impact on the community."
"You will be suspended."
…
So Xu Kyung had the sweet and sour pork ribs that were originally scheduled for dinner at noon.
"That's reasonable." Qi Yu came to this conclusion after listening to Xu Ying's retelling of the entire process.
"So I really don't do anything at home during this time?"
Xu Liang was not used to being suspended like this.
Qi Yu was busy picking food for her and said that she could take this time to rest for a while. Anyway, Liu Zhu and other directors were in the company, so nothing would go wrong.
Having said that, Xu Liang still thinks a lot.
Qi Yu's entry into Yian may have been due to some luck, but it was mainly due to his own strength.
Compared with those Yian directors who already have powerful backgrounds, he is just an ordinary person.
But just because he is ordinary and young, sitting in this position would have attracted countless jealous eyes. Now that something like this has happened, if some people have already disliked him, it would be difficult for him to return to this position.
"Qi Yu, have you ever thought about what you would do if you have no return date after this suspension?" Xu Liang swallowed the ribs, and a little bit of acetic acid came back, and the astringent taste lingered in his throat for a long time.
Although Mr. Li values him, there is a possibility that he will kick him out for personal gain.
He was silent for a moment, chewing slowly and regularly, his cheeks bulging and flattening, flattening and bulging again.
He laughed again: "It's okay, don't worry. At worst, I won't go back. Anyway, I have a lot of skills, so I won't have to worry about supporting myself. Of course, I still have some savings, so I shouldn't have any problem supporting Mr. Xu."
Xu Liang didn't know if she was too sensitive. Even if Qi Yu was saying comforting words, she felt that these words were just his way of comforting her.
It seems that after living with Qi Yu, he often tells her not to worry.
He seemed to rarely throw his worries on her.
He always seemed to be prioritizing her.
In his career, he never gave in to her before.
But in real life, he always gets up early and goes to bed late, so that she can have breakfast directly when she wakes up and dinner directly when she gets home.
Xu Liang basically never participated in housework, but the house was always clean. Qi Yu never hired a cleaner, as he basically did all the work.
And those small instruction cards of his, although ordinary, it was obvious that he cared about her.
He also took better and better care of the new pots of roses on the balcony.
Even at his current work, he has done everything in advance. Whether it is Yian's work or Tongxin's work, she can see that he is really working seriously when they exchange reports.
He took all the necessary photos for the elderly and celebrated their birthdays with care.
Even the rectification plan was polished from both his own and her perspectives.
It seems that he is a person who cares about others very much and can do everything to the best of his ability. His occasional persistence is his adherence to his principles, but if someone can make him think it through, he can also learn to adapt.
In the end, Xu Liang stopped talking. If he could find joy in the midst of suffering, then she would accompany him and not bring him anxiety.
So thanks to Qi Yu, Xu Liang started his vacation with no return date.
After temporarily stopping work, she stopped drinking coffee every morning and slept until she woke up naturally.
After waking up, she was not idle either. Now that she had the opportunity, she also wanted to extend her thoughts from a while ago -
Based on what she saw and heard at Yian, and combined with her actual experience, she aims to create a nursing home where technology and humanities can develop in a balanced way and be accepted by more elderly people.
Sounds promising.
After Qi Yu came home, she happily put down what she was doing and helped him in the kitchen.
She found that after being suspended, Qi Yu stayed with her more frequently and insisted on sleeping with her at night.
Xu Liang was resistant at first, but after many times, she got used to it and simply moved into Qi Yu's bedroom with peace of mind.
However, she discovered that this man had many secrets. The cabinets in the room were always locked and she was not allowed to see them, saying that the time was not right.
And he liked kissing her more and more.
He would kiss her whenever he got the chance, and every time was as "brutal" as the first time he kissed her. He also insisted on putting their couple pocket watches together and standing them on the bedside table, saying that this would highlight their couple status.
If Qi Yu hadn't often said that he wanted to change back quickly, Xu Liang really thought that Qi Yu had fallen in love with his own appearance.
During this period, the system of Yian Community was restored by people hired by Mr. Li, and the community was temporarily fine, but the turmoil surrounding Qi Yu was still not over.
Afterwards, she comforted the two parents who came to visit them specially in the identity of Qi Yu.
Also waiting for Song Ying who came specially.
Song Ying was taking a break, but it was a weekday and Qi Yu was not at home.
Seeing those comments online, she also felt angry for Qi Yu and asked, "Will this suspension last forever?"
Xu Liang leaned on Qi Yu's bed. He had completely gotten used to this place and had even begun to become fascinated by his unique cedar scent.
She completely lost all her worries from the past few days and said calmly, "Director Li said he's suspended for investigation. He needs to review the smart nursing bed and smart bracelet and so on. I guess we'll have to wait until President Zheng comes back."
"You really aren't worried at all?" Song Ying's mood at this moment was no less than Xu Liang's a few days ago.
Xu Liang shook his head and said that Qi Yu had already thought of a solution. He had just told her on the phone that he had some information to discuss with her when he got home.
After saying that, Xu Liang naturally reached out to take the snacks in Song Ying's hand, and reached for the water glass on the bedside table with his other hand.
Just when he was about to ask about You Yi's situation, he lost his balance when reaching for the bedside table, and the cup fell to the other side, knocking the pocket watch that was standing on the bedside table down with it.
The dull thud of the pocket watch falling to the ground mixed with the crisp sound of the glass breaking. Before my thoughts could catch up, my body had already reacted.
Xu Liang quickly jumped out of bed, and the most important thing was to pick up the two pocket watches.
"Is it not broken?" Song Ying stood up from the small sofa and threw away the snacks in his hand.
Xu Liang placed the two watches in his palms and wiped away the water droplets on the dials with his fingertips.
"Mine is fine."
"But Qi Yu's second hand seems to have stopped moving."
