62 Reconciliation
When Yang Xiao received Zhou Qi's email, she was in a meeting with the technical department. Xiao Fei was reporting to her the business plan for the next quarter, followed by personal ratings of several key employees.
The phone dinged, but she ignored it.
During the break, she picked up her phone. When she saw Zhou Qi prominently written in the sender column, she stood up from her chair and sent a message to Xiao Fei, asking him to record the meeting as she had something urgent to deal with.
After she finished her instructions, she immediately sent a message to Wu Lian, asking if Zhou Qi had woken up. Wu Lian was already busy putting on diapers and going to work, so she naturally had no time to reply.
Yang Xiao walked around the living room twice, calmed down for a while, and then opened the email.
Ally, if you haven't seen any news about the Miao family when you receive this email, then it proves that the email I sent to the city has fallen on deaf ears again.
Although I don't want you to be involved in this storm, I really can't find anyone I can trust and entrust with my work wholeheartedly. After all, my senior brother is in the city, and the store is also in the city. He has too deep roots, and it's too dangerous to hand it over to him.
This is my last chance. If I unfortunately become infected and pass away, this evidence must not disappear with me. So, ally, I leave it to you.
Be sure to act within your ability and protect yourself.
It turned out to be a scheduled message. Yang Xiao sat back down and opened the attached compressed file, feeling a mix of emotions. Hadn't he always said he was afraid of getting me into trouble and wanted to handle everything himself? Now that he's in this state, he's finally considering me as an ally.
When Yang Xiao first opened it, she felt as if she were back in junior high school, looking at the thick stack of wrong answers piled up in Zhou Qi's room. Evidence, large and small, was neatly listed, and each one clearly pointed to the Ji Miao family.
From these crimes, Yang Xiao felt that she had truly seen how big the dark cloud hanging over Zhou Qi's head was.
On March 7, 2010, the Third Municipal Hospital announced the bidding documents, the parameters of which were far higher than the conventional standards. Only three manufacturers were awarded the bid, all of which were related to the Miao family.
On September 12, 2010, I handed over some of the evidence I had collected to Miao Yue in exchange for my father's follow-up treatment, and the other party agreed.
On October 9, 2010, Miaoyuan conducted a second bidding on the grounds that the quality of the bidding manufacturer failed to meet the standards three times, replacing the original related party with the related party of the Ji family.
On January 1, 2011, Ji Heng, the second son of the Ji family, and Miao Yue, the eldest daughter of the Miao family, held their wedding.
…
On July 26, 2018, an empty truck accelerated towards me, causing two broken ribs, a fractured wrist, and soft tissue contusion.
On December 7, 2018, Ji Heng acquired a piece of land on the southwest side of Dongjiao for hospital construction.
On May 4, 2019, I followed a vehicle loaded with medical equipment and discovered an alcohol cotton factory in the northwest of the eastern suburbs. They were producing large quantities of substandard alcohol cotton, mixing it with qualified products and charging regular prices.
…
Under each timeline, there are clear pieces of evidence supporting Zhou Qi's conclusion, including pictures of the car accident scene and medical records.
Yang Xiao almost subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth as she screamed. In the photo, Zhou Qi's car was severely deformed, the front windshield cracked like a dense spider web, and there was blood on the seat.
So, don't let yourself come back.
I'm afraid that she will also be retaliated against in the same way.
Yang Xiao felt like she was the fool. Zhou Qi had already placed the things she wanted at her feet, but she had walked away. When he got better, she would carefully hold up the gift he gave her and treasure it like a treasure.
She didn't want to wait any longer.
Yang Xiao gathered the recordings of her conversation with Choi Hae-young, the financial data she had compiled, and Zhou Qi's suppressed accusation and mailed them to the inspection team. However, she chose to use her real name, fearing that the anonymous trial process would be too slow.
In the letter, she wrote, "I am Yang Xiao, the general manager of Zhimiao Technology Co., Ltd. The following is all the information my lover has collected over the past decade. We know we are as small and ordinary as ants, unable to fight evil with evil or suppress power with power, but we still yearn for a chance at fairness and justice."
"The above situation is true and we are willing to bear all legal responsibilities."
When Yang Xiao handed the letter to the courier, she was still a little worried. After the outbreak of the epidemic, most logistics were still at a standstill, and she was not sure whether the letter would arrive safely.
Two weeks later, on a gloomy afternoon with little sunlight, she had just finished discussing next week's work with Mu Tao when she received a call from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, wanting to verify the situation further.
At that moment, Yang Xiao finally saw the sun behind the clouds.
Wuhan was gradually lifted from lockdown, and batches of experts and medical teams conducted increasingly in-depth research on the virus. Zhou Qi's condition was finally effectively controlled, and he was transferred back to the city from Wuhan.
When Yang Xiaoyi heard the news, she took two days off to return to the city. As flights gradually resumed, direct flights to the city were sold out, so she had no choice but to fly to a neighboring city and then take the train back.
Despite all the twists and turns along the way, she didn't feel tired at all, only anticipation remained in her heart. Fortunately, there was still sunshine in the world, fortunately, they were all fine, fortunately, they were almost home.
When Zhou Qi saw her, he showed another expression of surprise.
As a result, when she ran to the inpatient department of the Third Municipal Hospital under the moonlight carrying flowers and a fruit basket, the nurse said that Dr. Zhou had recovered quickly and had just been discharged from the hospital and returned home tonight.
Well, there is no tacit understanding at all, and I didn’t even tell her that I was discharged from the hospital.
Yang Xiao hurriedly took a taxi and rushed to Zhou Qi's residence. Fortunately, her memory was still good. When they were strolling in Beihai, Zhou Qi casually mentioned that he bought an apartment in the city, so she didn't have to stay in a hotel next time. That's when she knew where he lived.
It was an old residential complex, but the corridors were clean and bright, all lit up, and not many people came and went. It was quiet, which suited Zhou Qi's taste quite well.
He lives on the third floor and there is no elevator.
Yang Xiao had no choice but to carry the fruit basket and the bunch of yellow roses and climb up the stairs one by one. When she arrived at his door, her heart was beating fast, perhaps because she hadn't exercised for a long time or because she was too excited.
I put the fruit basket at my feet so that I could free one hand to knock on the door.
Boom boom boom.
The voice-controlled light in the corridor went out and then turned on with a click, and the warm yellow beam of light hit Yang Xiao's hair softly.
The door opened.
Yang Xiao held up the bunch of yellow roses, "Surprise!"
Zhou Qi was wearing a mask and looked much thinner, with slightly puffy eyelids. Seeing the bunch of yellow roses, he said in a hoarse voice, "Are you giving me the flower of friendship again?"
"What kind of friendship is this! This is our reconciliation..."
Before Yang Xiao could finish her words, Zhou Qi gave her a tight hug that made her almost breathless.
"Thank you, ally. I'm already looking for a job in Beijing." Zhou Qi said in her ear, his hot breath hitting Yang Xiao's earlobe, making her feel itchy.
"A hospital in Beijing?" Yang Xiao put her arms around his waist, tilted her head to rub his chest, and felt at ease listening to his strong heartbeat.
"Pharmaceutical company." The familiar citrus scent of Yang Xiao drifted towards Zhou Qi's nose. He actually felt like he was dreaming. "Now that I'm famous, which hospital would dare to hire me?"
"That's right, Doctor Zhou is famous now." Yang Xiao laughed and couldn't help but tease him, "But everyone says this handsome doctor is upright."
"Well, this beautiful informant is not bad either."
"That's really great."
"Come in quickly." Zhou Qi released his arms around her, picked up the bouquet and fruit basket on the ground, and closed the door.
Yang Xiao put her hands behind her back and looked around the room, just like when they first met. "This decoration style is so Zhou Qi."
Zhou Qi laughed out loud, "What is Zhou Qi style?"
"It's just black, white and gray, with some plants to embellish it. Using some adjectives of the male protagonist in the novel, it's the minimalist style." Yang Xiao said it with her mouth in front, but her brain was following behind. After she finished speaking, she realized that she had just said something not so good.
Zhou Qi was silent, "I'm not the hero of the novel either."
"I'm just an ordinary person."
"You are an ordinary person."
The two of them said in unison. After they finished speaking, Yang Xiao showed a proud expression that said, "I know what you're going to say." Zhou Qi thought she was so cute and added, "Will you stay tonight?"
Introverted and reserved.
Yang Xiao finished complaining in her heart and waved her hand, "No, you just recovered, you still need to take good care of yourself."
"I can take care of you if you're here." Zhou Qi smiled as he watched the changing expressions on her face. "You didn't say you wanted to exercise or do sports."
Yang Xiao really didn't want to talk to him anymore. Zhou Qi knew exactly what she was thinking, but he insisted on teasing her with some words, which was so embarrassing.
"Let's go." Yang Xiao pulled her hand away and walked towards the door angrily.
"Okay, it's my fault." Zhou Qi held her and brought her back to the sofa. "Sit for a while, I'll show you something." Then he went into the room mysteriously.
When he came out, he was holding a big box.
"What is this?" Yang Xiao took it. It was heavy, like a box half filled with books. "I don't want to read your books on surgery, internal medicine, or pediatrics."
Zhou Qi was amused and tapped her head. "The letter I wrote to you and the birthday present from last year."
Yang Xiao couldn't help herself and opened the box while sitting on the sofa. The letters were neatly stacked, a thick stack of envelopes, all addressed to Yang Xiao. In addition, there were two keys inside: a car key and a door key.
"Isn't this the birthday present you mentioned?" Yang Xiao picked up the car keys and looked at Zhou Qi in surprise and asked, "Your car isn't even fixed yet, why are you giving me a new one? I already have one to drive."
"But if you don't have a car to go back to the city, it won't be very convenient for you to go to town to see Dad or go out." Zhou Qi handed over the key to the house again, "This is the key to my house. When you come back, you can stay here."
"I'll take the house key, and you keep the car keys. You haven't even found a job yet, and you're buying a car for the boss?" Yang Xiao shoved the car keys into his hand, then closed his open palm without allowing him to refuse. "Be nice to yourself, Zhou Qi."
"I owe you too much." Zhou Qi lowered his eyes, hiding the touch he felt when Yang Xiao said to treat him better. He pinched the back of her hand and said, "Take it."
"Then repay with your feelings. It's insincere to repay emotional debts with material things." Yang Xiao was determined not to accept the key. "You should recover well and repay the debt slowly in the future. Don't give it to me again."
Zhou Qi couldn't persuade her, so he took advantage of the moment she stood up to quickly throw the key into her bag.
By the time Yang Xiao found the car keys in her bag, she was already in the hotel. Just as she was about to call Zhou Qi, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Bang, bang, bang, it's almost midnight, and I don't know who it is.
