Chapter 1380 Encounter
Zhou Enyou lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time before slowly closing the computer.
Afterwards, she went home and went to work as usual, as if nothing had happened.
The difference was that she no longer sent messages to Qin Chuli.
The work in the laboratory is very busy, and she is also preparing for graduation. The old man has contacted Zhou Enyou several times recently, but she still decided not to continue her doctoral studies.
The old man was very upset, and later the school leaders also came to see him.
The old man was a big shot in the industry and he hired many lobbyists. Zhou Enyou was very stubborn and said he would not study.
The old man has been very angry recently, and Zhou Enyou also seems to be in a bad mood. For a while, the atmosphere in the entire laboratory is tense and suffocating.
One day, the senior students thought Zhou Enyou had gone to eat and were chatting in the corridor.
One of them sighed loudly, "Oh my God! When will this end? The old man is unhappy, and Zhou Enyou is unhappy too. At least one of them has to be happy, right?"
Another senior sister asked, "When will Qin Chuli come back?"
"Yeah? When will Qin Chuli come back? Hey, didn't he say he was on a business trip for personal matters? He's been gone for too long."
"Who said it wasn't? Do you think we're the only ones hoping Qin Chuli will come back? The old man is also hoping Qin Chuli will come back to lobby for him. He said he called him, but the call never went through. Seeing this, the old man got even angrier."
"I have a question. Tell me, is Zhou Enyou unhappy because the old man is too annoyed by the doctoral study, or because of the problem with Qin Chuli?"
The air was quiet for a second.
"I really think it has something to do with Qin Chuli. Think about it, if they were really close, I haven't heard Qin Chuli call me in all these days, and I haven't seen Zhou Enyou call Qin Chuli either. It's as if these two have completely lost contact."
"So...were they having a fight?"
…
The sound of gossip outside the window came in faintly, and Zhou Enyou blinked slowly as he watched the data program code popping up line by line on the laboratory computer.
Did she have a fight with Qin Chuli?
No.
A week later, Zhou Enyou finished his project and started preparing for graduation. The old man was helpless and even paid him a home visit.
That night, Zhou Enyou was called home for dinner.
After dinner.
Bian Zhi looked at Zhou Enyou, "What's wrong? Are you not in a good mood?"
Zhou Enyou and Bian Zhi sat on chairs in the yard, looking at the grass at their feet with boredom. "No."
Bian Zhi looked at Zhou Enyou's profile and asked, "Why aren't you happy?"
"No, it's just..." Zhou Enyou felt a surge of anger in her chest, unable to vent it. It felt hypocritical and meaningless to express it. After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt that it was a bit boring."
Bian Zhi: “Hmm?”
The little bandit actually found it boring.
Zhou Enyou was the person who was best at entertaining himself, yet he actually found it boring.
"I heard Xiao Qin is on a business trip?"
"Um."
"Then wait for him to come back and have him come to our house for dinner?" This was actually a test.
"Okay." Zhou Enyou took it calmly without showing any abnormal expression.
"I'm not considering the PhD for now," Zhou Enyou said to Bian Zhi before leaving. "After graduation in two weeks, I'll go back to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. You and my dad can think about retirement."
Bian Zhi knew that Zhou Enyou was very filial and worried about her poor health, so he was always considerate.
In addition, as the boss of Scorpion, he really can't spend too much time on scientific research results, which is not pure enough.
Although Zhou Enyou was young, he was very thoughtful.
After leaving Bian Zhi's place and returning to his own small, shabby courtyard, Zhou Enyou suddenly felt that it was a little too quiet.
This courtyard was purchased by Bian Zhi when she was going to study at Ning University. Now that she is about to graduate, she doesn't plan to live here anymore.
Zhou Enyou has always been decisive in his actions.
She submitted her graduation thesis within a week. She had many scientific research results, and graduation was just a formality for her. After that, she called a moving company and moved all her daily necessities back to Bian Zhi, except for Qin Chuli's room.
Many things in the refrigerator were past their expiration date, so she asked someone to get rid of them.
Looking at the empty room, Zhou Enyou put on his hat, locked the door without looking back, and left.
Half a month later.
Zhou Enyou became a registered doctor in the Chinese Medicine Hospital.
She had been practicing here before Zhou Enyou went to college, and now that she has returned, many patients are happy to see her success.
On the first day of her clinic, her office received many local specialties sent by patients.
Unlike Bian Zhi, Zhou Enyou acted boldly and generously. She did not indulge her patients and would not compromise on things that she said were not possible. The patients also liked her for this.
Bian Zhi's consultation hours have been reduced from five days a week to three days a week.
Zhou Enyou began to see patients every day and became the busiest person in the family. Everyone called her: Doctor Zhou.
The old man didn't give up. At first he came every day, sat in the clinic with a stern face, and refused to leave. He took a small stool and looked sad. Zhou Enyou provided him three meals a day, and then ignored him. Finally, the old man had no choice but to leave. I heard that he later applied for retirement that year.
In one month.
Scorpion negotiated more than twenty large orders. The eighth and fifth brothers were excited at first, then happy, but finally became numb and collapsed.
In the internal meeting video of the Poison Scorpion, Lao Wu complained, "You, tell your Qin Chuli not to work so hard. Our family is not short of money. This speed of sweeping money is not enough. It really is not enough."
The eighth old man was also going crazy. "Yeah, you don't know. Those people who used to compete with our family for business are now weak in the knees when they see Qin Chuli. They used to look down on Qin Chuli's youth, but now they call him Brother Li. You also know that those old guys are cunning and treacherous. When have they ever been so honest? I was happy to see them at first, but now I'm thinking, when can I retire! My arms are old and weak, and I really can't keep up with the rampant pace of young people. I can't take it! I haven't had a full night's sleep in more than a month since Qin Chuli came!"
Lao Wu: "I now doubt whether Qin Chuli wants to outlast us!"
Lao Ba blinked sleepily, "You, when are you going to call this guy back home? Didn't you say he passed the postgraduate entrance exam? Studying is important, really. Money can be earned later!"
Zhou Enyou didn't say anything on this side of the film, looking at the latest quarterly financial statements.
Lao Wu: "Girl, don't be silent, tell me, did you give Qin Chuli any orders, such as how much money he must make to be with you or something?"
Zhou Enyou said calmly, "No."
Lao Ba: "No? No?! No, why does he always look so downcast every time I do something for you? Are you bullying him?"
Lao Wu: "Yeah, I see he never leaves his phone. Last time, his phone still had two bars of battery left, and he was in a meeting, but he immediately went out to find a power bank. Is that really necessary?"
Zhou Enyou put the financial report in the drawer and said, "It's okay, hang up now. I have patients in the hospital this afternoon."
Lao Wu and Lao Ba had no choice but to stop complaining and hung up the phone with resentment.
Scorpion has a routine.
We get together for a month during the Chinese New Year.
Three months later.
The poisonous scorpion people from all corners of the world gather here in Bianzhi.
The day they returned from abroad, Lao Wu and Lao Ba were like new people.
Gu Yan and Lin Ling both applauded them, "Amazing! This is going to sweep the global economy. With this speed of money sweeping, there's no need for Poison Scorpion to worry about accidents in the future."
Lao Ba and Lao Wu looked drained, pointing to their dark circles. "See? I've been through four months. If I don't come back, I suspect I'll be the first one in the Scorpion to die suddenly!"
Gu Yan laughed heartily, then walked over to them and patted Qin Chuli on the back, "Good boy, you're awesome!"
Qin Chuli smiled lightly and glanced inside.
"Who are you looking for?" Gu Yan asked deliberately, "Are you looking for our Doctor Zhou?"
Qin Chuli didn't say anything, this was preconceived.
"Don't look at her. She's in the hospital. She doesn't come back so early. She's very busy, just like Bian Zhi. Patients are queuing up at the hospital entrance. She doesn't come back until around 11 o'clock every day. The aunt at home doesn't prepare dinner for her anymore, she only prepares midnight snacks for her.
Lin Ling nodded and pointed with her fingers, "In three months, I've lost so much weight.
Qin Chuli frowned immediately when he saw this.
The eighth and fifth brothers were still happy. Now, no matter what you ask them to do or what you say to them, they are not happy. As long as you don’t mention making money, everything else is fine. “Wow! You’ve lost so much weight.”
Several people walked in while talking.
Lin Ling nodded and glanced at Qin Chuli out of the corner of her eye. "Yeah, she's been very busy. I've seen her working during the day and spending the nights in her study. It's just like when Bian Zhi was the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital!"
Gu Yan also smiled, "It's a good thing that the little girl is responsible, but she doesn't like to have people take care of her. She says it's annoying..."
Lin Ling: "I've been like this since I was little, straightforward and happy."
Several people walked in happily, except Qin Chuli.
After staying inside for a while, someone couldn't sit still anymore, so he went to the kitchen to get a lunch box and started cooking.
A poisonous scorpion man in the living room looked into the kitchen from outside.
Some people even asked foolishly, "Qin Chuli, what delicious food are you making? Why did you go into the kitchen by yourself?"
After being patted on the palm by Lin Ling, he blinked and calmed down.
The people inside were concentrating on making food, while the people outside were peeking in. When the people took off their aprons and came out, everyone turned their eyes back to the TV and watched it as if nothing had happened.
Qin Chuli took the lunch box and pointed outside, "I'm going out for a while."
Without even turning back, everyone said, "Ah, go ahead."
Qin Chuli went out with the lunch box.
Lao Ba sighed, "What's going on with these two? I thought they broke up."
Lao Wu: "Who said it wasn't true? I didn't dare mention Enyou's name when I was abroad before. Seeing Qin Chuli's behavior, I thought he was dumped and went abroad to heal his broken heart."
Lao Ba asked Gu Yan: "What is Enyou's attitude?"
Gu Yan relaxed his shoulders and said, "I didn't say anything. I didn't answer any questions. I was very calm."
Gu Yan tilted his head towards Lin Ling and said, "She asked."
Everyone looked at Lin Ling.
Lin Ling said: "I asked her what her current relationship with Qin Chuli is."
Everyone's eyes widened instantly and they gave him a thumbs-up. "As expected, he was a former master. He's definitely different."
Lao Ba, "What did Enyou say?"
Lin Ling: "She just said it was a normal relationship."
Lao Ba looked eagerly, "What else?"
Lin Ling: "What else?"
Lao Wu: "...You didn't ask, what is a normal relationship?"
Lin Ling: "No."
Everyone: “…”
Lin Ling: "But I think I heard Liu Shuyi ask about it once. I looked over at that time, and Enyou saw it, holding up the phone and walked away. I didn't hear what she said."
Gu Yan: "If he doesn't tell us, but tells Liu Shuyi, then he must be telling the truth, hey--"
Gu Yan shouted into the yard, "Shuyi! Shuyi!"
Lin Ling hurriedly tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve. Gu Yan turned around, confused. Lin Ling angrily shouted, "You idiot!"
Gu Yan: “?”
Lin Ling: "Liu Shuyi finally came back, Lao Liu was so happy that he was running around in circles. If you call Liu Shuyi back, Lao Liu will hate you to death."
The words fell.
The French window door opened with a bang. Liu Shuyi asked, "What?"
Gu Yan touched his head and when he saw Liu Shuyi, he also saw Lao Liu's extremely resentful eyes.
Gu Yan: “…”
Lin Ling sighed. Now that everyone was inside, she simply asked, "What is the current relationship between Zhou Enyou and Qin Chuli?"
Liu Shuyi became quiet.
Lao Wu said hurriedly, "It's not gossip, it's just that we're on the same team, so we have to know a little bit. If two people are not good friends, we shouldn't force them to sit together, right?"
Everyone nodded repeatedly.
"She won't."
Everyone: “?”
"No matter what her relationship with Qin Chuli is, it will not affect Duxie..."
Everyone: “…”
Lao Wu: "You kid, you...Okay, we just want to know for gossip."
Liu Shuyi nodded. "Then I can't say anything. Anyway, you guys should just keep doing this. She's mature and won't care about anything else."
After saying that, Liu Shuyi opened the French window and went out.
Qin Chuli carried his lunch box to the Chinese medicine hospital.
The fat guys were watching at the door.
The fat man nudged the thin one's foot and said, "Hey, do you think Qin Chuli's dusty appearance is similar to Zhou Suihuai's cowardly look?"
The thin man looked up and nodded, "It really looks like it!"
The fat man chuckled, and someone nearby came over and called out, "Uncle Fatty, Uncle Thin."
The fat man nodded and said jokingly, "It's been a while since you came. Where have you been?"
Qin Chuli pursed his lips and shook his head, then said, "Is Enyou in there?"
The fat man nodded, pointed in a direction, and then said, "Are you delivering food?"
Qin Chuli hummed, handed over the lunch box, and said, "Please help me carry it in."
The fat guys laughed, took it and put it aside, without getting up, and continued to eat melon seeds.
Qin Chuli glanced at the time and it was almost one o'clock.
"She...finished eating?"
The fat man shook his head, "No."
"Then... could you please help me get in now?"
The fat man also checked the time and waved his hand. "If we send it in now, she won't have time to eat." The fat man pointed to the lunch boxes on the table behind him. "See, these are all here. Our Doctor Zhou has many admirers. The lunch boxes are piled up like a mountain every day. She won't have time to eat them even if we send them in. I guess she'll get hungry around 4 or 5 in the afternoon and come out to find something to eat."
Qin Chuli said nothing. He pursed his lips and turned away.
But he didn't go far and sat down in the coffee shop opposite.
Around four or five in the afternoon, Zhou Enyou came out of the Chinese Medicine Hospital building in a white coat, rubbing his stomach. The fat man pointed to a pile of lunch boxes inside and said, "There are so many today."
Zhou Enyou asked, "What about the one sent from home?"
The fat man handed over a portion, Zhou Enyou took it, sat down on a chair in the pavilion and ate slowly.
"Just refuse it if you send it to me next time. It would be a waste if you throw it away," said Zhou Enyou.
"That's what I said, but those people didn't listen. What can we do?"
Zhou Enyou rubbed her eyes, her gaze suddenly falling on a lunch box somewhere. She asked the fat man, "Is this the only box delivered today?"
Fatty: “Yeah.”
Zhou Enyou glanced at the familiar lunch box, was silent for a few seconds, lowered his head to eat the portion in his hand, and then went back directly with the empty lunch box.
