Liu Zhu was slightly stunned and his eyes met hers.
"Boss Qi, didn't you say you wanted to hire a few more nurses so that I could keep a close eye on them?"
Xu Liang frowned and went over it in her mind. She didn't remember her saying such a thing: "When?"
"That's the message you sent me last night."
There was a hint of confusion in Liu Zhu's tone.
I have the impression that Qi Yu never forgets things, why is he so forgetful recently?
Could it be that he was really in love and his brain went stupid?
The scene at the dinner table last night suddenly popped up in his mind, and Xu Jing pursed his lips——
Qi Yu took his cell phone away at that time.
It turns out that he was messaging Liu Zhu?
Feeling a little more cheerful, Xu Liang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He wanted to pull it down, but the corners of his eyes unconsciously curved along with it.
A sweet feeling flashed through my heart.
She rubbed the tip of her nose and covered her lips with her palm.
It seems that eating more desserts really makes you feel better.
"Oh, I remember now." Xu Liang sat up again, "I'll take a look later. Go make me some coffee."
As soon as Liu Zhu left, Xu Liang took out Qi Yu's phone.
After unlocking it with his face, she opened WeChat and saw the chat history between Qi Yu and Liu Zhu in the first few lines.
Clicking into the chat interface, there was the message Qi Yu sent last night.
Looking at those few simple lines of words, an indescribable and inexplicable electric current ran through her body. To be more precise, it actually ran through Qi Yu's body.
It spreads along the spinal cord to the nerves, bringing about a wave of pleasure.
His eyebrows twitched, and Xu Liang felt that an inexplicable emotion was about to be suppressed.
Her emotions affected her body, and her hand trembled slightly. She accidentally slid across the screen. She didn't know what she clicked, but the phone automatically jumped to another interface.
Xu Liang panicked a little, and when he held the phone firmly, his face was automatically recognized. However, after the recognition was successful, there was still a password lock.
This is the memo.
Double password?
Xu Liang didn't know Qi Yu's password. When they exchanged phones, they only said that facial recognition could be turned on. Besides, they usually just used each other's phones to answer calls. For entertainment, they either used their work phones or changed devices directly.
She had no intention of reading his secrets and exited the interface directly.
Assistant Liu also came in with coffee, "Mr. Qi."
The coffee was brought to Xu Liang. Xu Liang was already used to the sugared latte that the secretary made for her in the nursing home. She picked it up and drank it without even looking at it.
However, as soon as the coffee entered her mouth, she couldn't help but spit it out.
The stool slid back and both hands frantically grabbed the paper.
Assistant Liu was a little stunned, thinking that the coffee he made was unpalatable, and hurried to clean the table for her.
He asked cautiously, "Mr. Qi, is it not tasty? I brewed it according to your usual standards."
Xu Liang bit his tongue and wiped his lips, but the bitterness lingering on his taste buds had not dissipated at all.
She shook her head: "It's too bitter. Go get me a latte and add two more packets of sugar."
Hearing this, Liu Zhu looked even more surprised: "Add sugar?"
He even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
But Xu Kyung said with certainty, "Yes, add two packets. If there are any desserts in the tea room, please bring some up for me."
"……oh."
Although Liu Zhu didn't understand, he still did it.
Assistant Liu brought another latte and a small piece of Basque.
He reminded, "Boss Qi, the director of the community's medical department and the head nurse are here. The meeting will start in ten minutes."
Xu Liang nodded. "I understand. Print out the latest file I pinned, and give each of us a copy for the meeting."
"good."
…
The content of Xu Liang's meeting puzzled the director and the head nurse.
The two exchanged a knowing look, and the director looked through the information Heo Kyung had given him again.
"Mr. Qi, hasn't our community been doing well over the past few years? Every elderly person loves using our technology and has no complaints about their lives. Why are we suddenly changing things?"
Xu Liang pulled up several survey comparison charts sent to her by Liu Zhu. She found that although Yian's retirement community has a certain audience, most of the elderly admitted are elderly people living alone whose children have immigrated abroad and have no relatives in China.
Moreover, these elderly people have a certain level of education. Perhaps when Yian first established its reputation as a technological elderly care center, they were full of expectations for this place. However, after actually living here according to unified standards, their mentality has changed.
Xu Liang found that when they took the depression self-rating scale recently, although their scores did not meet the standards for depression symptoms, there were several data points that were worthy of attention.
For example, one of the items in the scale is: I eat as much as usual.
Most of the elderly chose “rarely”.
Another item was: I think my life is meaningful.
Most elderly people also choose “sometimes”.
In Tongxin, except for the elderly who were diagnosed with depression, almost all the elderly chose "often" for these two items.
Although the data does not have much clinical significance, it can still be used as a reference. Therefore, Heo Kyung believes that rectification is necessary.
The director and the head nurse nodded, but considering Yian's development goals, the director spoke again: "Mr. Qi, we have actually considered this issue, but considering the actual situation of our company and community, these data will not actually have an impact."
"Also, unified management is more suitable for our community. Compared with the previous two years, the number of falls and burns among the elderly has decreased significantly this year."
"Yes, Mr. Qi," the head nurse also expressed her opinion. "Besides, the elderly have already formed a habit. In addition, the smart bracelets each person wears and the smart nursing beds in each room are all connected to the system. If the elderly's vital signs show any abnormalities, our medical staff will be automatically notified. This also saves a lot of manpower."
Xu Liang probably understood what they meant.
After all, the current situation is that medical staff in the community can be on duty at service stations and medical rooms, risks can be monitored and identified, and smart nursing beds and bracelets help medical staff complete their work to a certain extent and reduce their workload.
If this changes, their workload may increase.
But in order to reduce the risk of depression symptoms among the elderly in the community, Xu Liang took a tough stance.
Fortunately, Qi Yu's voice, even when lowered slightly, carried a force that brooked no room for questioning, and she gradually became proficient in using it.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, a cold edge appeared in them, and she said coldly: "I know your concerns, but I don't want to solve the problem after it arises. It's best to prevent it before it happens."
"From today on, when the elderly are exercising, there must be medical staff on duty in the activity room. We will never allow staff to sit at the service station and neglect their duties again. I will develop a plan later to gradually move away from completely centralized management of the community and give the elderly some freedom."
Her gaze swept slowly over the two of them before she continued, "As the backbone of the community, you two need to first change your own mindsets and mindsets, and then lead the people below you to run the retirement community together, reducing the sense of distance between you and the elderly, so that every elderly person living in the community feels that this is their home for their later years, rather than a cage where they have to eat and sleep at set times."
Neither of them could utter a word.
I can't believe these words came out of Qi Yu's mouth.
"I will go to the community more often to help out in the future. I hope you two can set an example. After all, the sustainable development of the community is what we all want."
…
…
Xu Liang explained many things to the two of them, including that they should not rely too much on technological products, that manpower is quite necessary, and that they should communicate more with the elderly, and even brought up Tong Xin as an example.
Although the two were somewhat resistant at first, Xu Liang said a lot and even brought out data. Of course, the most important thing was the word "continued development", which was directly related to the future of the two.
The meeting lasted until almost noon.
As soon as the director and the head nurse left, Assistant Liu came to tell her that the chairman was looking for her.
His body stiffened slightly, his steps stopped, and Xu Liang asked nervously, "What do you want me to do?"
It’s not because of any other reason that he’s nervous, but because the person they’re looking for is Qi Yu, and ‘he’ is now Xu Liang. Wouldn’t it be dangerous if he asks about something blind spot?
Liu Zhu was only responsible for informing, so naturally he didn't know what to do specifically.
"The chairman just said he's waiting for you in his office."
Xu Liang wanted to wait a while, until she asked Qi Yu before going up, but Assistant Liu urged her, "Mr. Qi, the chairman asked you to go up quickly. You are never late."
“…”
Assistant Liu put pressure on her, and Xu Liang had no choice but to go upstairs obediently.
She went upstairs alone, her movements a little reserved. She only remembered Qi Yu saying that the chairman's floor was identical to his, and his office was at the very back.
After reaching the top floor, she became a little nervous, just like when she was suddenly called to the office by the dean of studies during school.
Before taking a step, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, closed her eyes, and kept repeating in her mind: This is Qi Yu's body.
I remembered what Qi Yu said that day: It’s in my name anyway, could it be that Mr. Xu is afraid?
When he opened his eyes again, the timidity in his eyes was gone, and a surge of energy emerged, mixed with Qi Yu's eyes, with a bit of his arrogance.
Xu Liang walked towards the door with confidence and knocked politely.
A steady "Come in" came through the door, and Xu Liang pushed it open and walked in.
Expecting the visitor to be 'Qi Yu', Mr. Li's face, which was intimidating without being angry, showed a kind smile.
He extended his hand, motioning Xu Kyung to sit on the chair opposite.
"Chairman." Xu Liang nodded slightly, his expression calm.
Mr. Li hummed, but did not get straight to the point.
His eyebrows curved, and he smiled, as if chatting casually, his tone relaxed: "Xiao Qi, the company has developed very well recently, especially the retirement community. I am very satisfied with both the financial statements and the reputation in the industry."
Unable to discern his purpose, Xu Liang calmed his mind and didn't speak hastily. He smiled slightly and used a universal phrase: "These are what I should do."
Mr. Li also smiled softly, his face, polished by time, faintly revealing a calm and composed aura.
He nodded and said a few words of praise: "You know, I admire you very much. Since you joined our company, Yian's reputation in the industry has been growing day by day. This also proves that you are indeed a good seedling. I was not wrong about you."
Although Xu Liang has only taken over the nursing home for a year, he had been learning from the grandparents in the nursing home before that, and had seen many big scenes.
Listening to Mr. Li's words, her vigilance gradually grew—
This statement has a bit of a tone of first praising and then criticizing.
After careful consideration, she spoke cautiously, "Mr. Li, joining the company and working for it is my job. However, I'm still far from meeting your standards. If there's anything I'm not doing properly, I still need your guidance."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ying heard Director Li chuckle again, but this time it seemed that there was no deterrent effect at all, as if a friend came to chat with her.
"You've become much more tactful now."
He asked his assistant to pour a cup of tea for Qi Yu. "Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you briefly. I heard that you are in love recently?"
Hearing this, Xu Liang almost choked on his own saliva. He looked up suddenly, his mind dazed: "In love?"
Qi Yu is in love?
She hasn't heard of it.
Didn’t he say not long ago that he hadn’t had a woman in many years?
Director Li continued, "I heard it was Ms. Xu who was with Tong Xin, the little girl from Dean Xu's family."
This time, Xu Liang was really choked by his saliva.
She lost her composure in front of Director Li and coughed a few times, covering her lips. Before she could explain, Director Li said, "You've been with her for a long time, so you want to develop humanities in our retirement community?"
Now it's clear.
That's what I wanted to say.
But what he heard was too outrageous.
It was obvious that they exchanged souls, and she wanted to develop humanities.
Xu Liang finally gained confidence and regained his composure. "No, Mr. Li, I was invited to visit Tongxin not long ago. After experiencing their service philosophy, I gained new insights, so I wanted to give it a try."
To her surprise, Director Li had no doubts at all. Instead, he was very supportive: "I also heard from Xiao Liu. He showed me the materials you compiled, as well as today's meeting. I saw the intelligent surveillance in the conference room. You are right."
“…”
There is actually smart monitoring in the conference room?
But he already knew everything, so Xu Liang didn't know why he still needed to call her over.
She was about to speak when Director Li cleared up her doubts for her.
"I have no objection to your desire to reform the community, but there is one thing you need to understand: we are a technology company. No matter what others are like, we must always have our own characteristics."
He stopped talking at that point, and Xu Liang almost understood -
There can be humanities, but technology must be the mainstream.
She can promote her humanity here, but she cannot easily change the original pattern.
It’s exactly the same as Qi Yu’s idea.
But Mr. Li was probably worried that Qi Yu wouldn't be able to control the situation properly. After all, Qi Yu was planning to recruit new people.
So I came here to give you a special warning.
After a brief silence, Xu Kyung nodded: "I understand."
…
At Huaibei Airport, Qi Yu waited in the car for Zhou Qingyue to come out.
His impression of Zhou Qingyue was neither good nor bad.
Perhaps it was because this person lost his parents at a very young age and grew up in a new environment, so he was very tactful and careful in every step he took.
But sometimes this kind of smoothness is not very pleasing.
However, Qi Yu himself knew that there were other reasons for his dislike for Zhou Qingyue.
But he couldn't find any fault with this person, so he couldn't just dislike him.
Qi Yu took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
Holding Xu Liang's phone in his hand, he opened her photo album and looked through the photos one by one.
Most of the photos were her selfies, as well as photos of the elderly people in the nursing home, her and Song Ying, Mr. and Mrs. Xu, Grandpa and Grandma Xu, and even Zhou Qingyue.
There's just no him.
The corners of his mouth, which had been raised, fell down again.
He wanted to continue watching when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the car window: "Xiao Jing!"
He slowly turned his head and saw Zhou Qingyue dragging a suitcase, waving at him with his free hand.
