Chapter 57 Accident
The two were alone in the office again.
Chu Yunqi saw that Zhou Jingzhan was still unhappy, so he walked up to him and squeezed his hand to show his weakness.
This time Zhou Jingzhan didn't appreciate it and moved his hand away with a cold face.
Damn, really angry, Chu Yunqi felt something was wrong and said sincerely, "Okay, I apologize. I was rude this morning. I shouldn't have been so mean to you because of Lu Youyu."
This was the first time that Chu Yunqi chose Zhou Jingzhan between Lu Youyu and Zhou Jingzhan.
Over the years, Chu Yunqi had never lacked admirers, but Zhou Jingzhan couldn't feel at ease after watching him pursue Lu Youyu so ostentatiously, accept her drunken confession, and then break up with her, without knowing anything about his life.
In fact, Zhou Jingzhan found it difficult to gain a so-called sense of security from Chu Yunqi from the beginning to the end. He even once suspected that Chu Yunqi, a straight man, accepted him because he felt guilty and wanted to make amends.
This feeling of worry and fear has always been weighing on Zhou Jingzhan, and the appearance of Lu Youyu has brought this uneasiness to its peak.
He had no right to ask for anything, and it was too narrow-minded to be jealous of a man. Zhou Jingzhan knew that he shouldn't think that way, but he just couldn't control himself.
It wasn't until Chu Yunqi said something to defend himself that Zhou Jingzhan felt his nose suddenly sore.
Seven years ago, Zhou Jingzhan loved to cry and act like a spoiled child. Chu Yunqi could tell at a glance that he was about to cry.
Chu Yunqi has never been able to resist Zhou Jingzhan's coquettish behavior since he was a child. In his eyes, crying and coquettishness are no different, and he will also feel soft-hearted when he sees them. "I will speak nicely from now on, don't cry."
Zhou Jingzhan took the opportunity to make an unreasonable request, "Can you please not meet Lu Youyu alone in the future?"
"I..." Chu Yunqi wanted to explain to him.
Zhou Jingzhan couldn't bear to hear anything under the current circumstances. Tears streamed down his face as he closed his eyes. "Promise me."
"Okay, okay, okay, isn't it enough that I promise you? There's no need to cry over such a small thing," he said, using a tissue to wipe Zhou Jingzhan's tears.
Zhou Jingzhan was busy feeling sad and Chu Yunqi was busy trying to comfort him, so neither of them heard the door opening.
It was not until Ding Xinye pushed the door open that the two of them noticed and hurriedly returned to normal. Perhaps they felt embarrassed, so Ding Xinye said nothing, was stunned for a second, and then closed the door again.
Ding Xinye was standing outside the door and was about to say forget it, but then he changed his mind and felt something was wrong. He opened the door again and said in an extremely rude manner, "Both of you get out of here."
Zhou Jingzhan stood up in a hurry, and Chu Yunqi stood there waiting for him.
What's wrong, Ding Xinye thought to himself, and immediately stopped him, "Don't go with me."
Zhou Jingzhan looked at Chu Yunqi with a wronged expression. Chu Yunqi rubbed his face as if to comfort him and went out first.
Back in Ding Xinye's office, he didn't ask about what happened just now, but instead asked Chu Yunqi, "Where's your phone? I haven't seen it for a while and two people called me."
Chu Yunqi didn't care, "The battery is out."
"Zhou Jingzhan called me and said you didn't eat lunch, and then the orthopedics department called me in the afternoon to say you didn't go to rehabilitation on time."
"There are too many patients to take care of."
Ding Xinye sighed helplessly and pushed the lunch box next to him. "Eat it as it is. I didn't eat the one you left for me at noon."
Chu Yunqi hesitated for a moment, "Then what do you want to eat?"
"Your aunt cooked and I went home to eat." Ding Xinye said this with a sense of showing off.
"……", Chu Yunqi's stomach growled with hunger, and he started eating while leaning on Ding Xinye's desk.
At this time, Zhou Jingzhan also adjusted himself and came in, sitting next to Chu Yunqi.
Ding Xinye held out his watch and pointed it at him, "Look for yourself what time it is."
Zhou Jingzhan knew he was in the wrong and didn't say anything.
Ding Xinye continued, "It's 3:12 now, working hours. What are you two doing in the office? Being so affectionate, what would your colleagues think if they saw you?"
Zhou Jingzhan was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he started to argue, "I didn't!
"Why would you cuddle with him without you!"
Zhou Jingzhan was speechless.
Because Xu Ye was detained by Chu Yunqi, Zhou Jingzhan was forced to undergo surgery with Ding Xinye.
Due to the lack of domestic experience and the relevant information being withheld at the medical center, Chu Yunqi could only organize his own papers and experiences, search various papers and videos, and try to provide Zhou Jingzhan with as much help as possible.
It was already half past six when he was tidying up, and it was only when Xia Baiming called that he noticed the time.
Xia Baiming's purpose was very simple, which was to invite him and Zhou Jingzhan to dinner at his home. Chu Yunqi agreed and waited for Zhou Jingzhan at the door of the operating room.
A little after seven o'clock, Zhou Jingzhan got off the operating table. Faced with the invitation, he chose to shake his head and refuse, "You go ahead. I'll check the information tonight. Lu Youyu's surgery is scheduled for three days later."
Chu Yunqi felt distressed for no reason. He pretended to be relaxed and put his arm around Zhou Jingzhan's shoulder, saying narcissistically, "I'm here, why are you so nervous? It won't be too late to relax."
So the two of them went to Xia Baiming's house together.
As soon as he entered the room, Chu Yunqi saw a red "囍" character posted on the bedroom door. He suddenly remembered that Xia Baiming got married three years ago. It was quite sudden, a business marriage. I heard that the woman was busy working all year round.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunqi saw another girl coming out of the kitchen. In his impression, that was not the face on Xia Baiming's wedding invitation.
He was a little uncertain and cast a questioning look at Zhou Jingzhan. Zhou Jingzhan seemed to see what he wanted to ask and whispered, "Stop interfering."
Chu Yunqi nodded tacitly.
Then he heard the girl's delicate voice, "Mr. Xia is taking a shower. I'll go make some tea."
Xia Baiming soon came out. He didn't feel guilty at all and greeted them casually, "Why are you here just now? She made some delicious crayfish today."
After everything was packed up, Xia Baiming sent his secretary away.
Halfway through the meal, Xia Baiming finally made his intention clear. He said to Chu Yunqi, "Have you heard about the high-end CNC machine tool project that Weike Company was involved in some time ago?"
Chu Yunqi nodded slightly. He had heard about it, but because he was busy pursuing Zhou Jingzhan at that time, he didn't know much. He only knew that in the end they cooperated with the LQ Group of Country M.
LQ Group is a business empire that Chu Yunqi built from scratch in Country M.
Xia Baiming continued, "The technology mastered by Weike's engineering team represents the highest level in my country's CNC machine tool field. Their leader was very clear from the beginning: they would only cooperate with domestic companies. We had almost finalized the cooperation agreement when their leader inexplicably died. Then, a new leader suddenly arrived and signed a contract with LQ Group. You know LQ Group best; it's a joint venture."
Chu Yunqi didn't react much, his expression unchanged. He calmly asked, "Did the person in charge of Weikai die of natural causes?"
"Car accident," Xia Baiming said calmly. He then took a puff of his cigarette and continued word by word, "It happened at 8:02 Beijing time. I was driving under the influence."
