Chapter 6 Confession
"If you're not in a hurry, you can wait half an hour. After my shift is over, I can secretly take you to the medicine decoction room." The young nurse said seriously, raising her scallion-white index finger. "But I can only borrow the time to decoct one dose of medicine."
Chen Yuanchuan was overjoyed after hearing this, but then frowned slightly and asked hesitantly, "Will this affect your work?"
The serious-looking nurse saw Chen Yuanchuan's concerned look and suddenly lost her composure. Her face flushed slightly as she mumbled, "It's okay. This hospital is jointly owned by my father and uncle."
Chen Yuanchuan's indifferent smile broke for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Well, it turns out that the young lady didn't need to rescue herself. I was so scared of the old lady. As a result, all the huge hospitals are owned by her.
Chen Yuanchuan was speechless. Why were all the people he met recently extremely wealthy?
The innocent little nurse had no idea what Chen Yuanchuan was complaining about. She smiled brightly and said, "Then it's settled. See you in your ward in half an hour."
Since they were related, Chen Yuanchuan stopped worrying. He glanced at the beautiful girl's work badge and raised his eyes again. His deep eyes curved into crescents, like a peacock spreading its tail. "Your name is Zhao Qingqiu, it suits you very well. Thank you so much for this time."
Zhao Qingqiu heard Chen Yuanchuan's smile and his magnetic voice calling him. His face flushed and he said in a panic, "Mr. Chen, I have to go back to work first. Bye."
Then he turned and walked away in a hurry.
Seeing Zhao Qingqiu gradually walk away, Chen Yuanchuan's straight broad shoulders and narrow waist suddenly slumped. He swung his arms and bared his teeth. It was really tiring to act cool when trying to pick up girls.
Chen Yuanchuan leisurely slipped back to the ward and opened the bamboo basket, only to find a piece of paper lying on top of the herbs with four big words on it - "See you later".
There was no signature, and the handwriting was written with the blue-black ballpoint pen commonly used by hospitals, with a wild style.
Chen Yuanchuan was speechless. He picked up the note and subconsciously flipped it over. To his surprise, it was still a hospital bill. Attached to the lower right corner was a small message: "Paid, no need to pay back ^_^"
Chen Yuanchuan glanced at the price, about two hundred yuan, which was not expensive.
Holding the note between two fingers, his eyes finally fell on the simple smiling face, and his thoughts drifted away.
What does he want to do?
Why are you pretending to be a good person?
Chen Yuanchuan frowned, snorted coldly, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
…
In the evening, Xi Qing and his team returned to City G on a pre-booked flight.
In the hospital conference room, Xi Qing was sitting in the chief seat in an elegant suit. He wore frameless glasses on his calm face, and the flat lenses reflected white light, making it difficult to guess his true emotions.
Li Yan, with her slender figure, confidently delivered her final report on the Luoyin Rainforest expedition in front of a PowerPoint presentation. After she finished, everyone secretly glanced in the direction of the chief, only breathing a sigh of relief when they saw Xi Qing's approval.
Xi Qing tapped the table lightly, thinking about the arrangements for the follow-up matters.
Suddenly, his fingers paused, and he looked up at Li Yan and asked, "Director Li, regarding the cultivation technology and subsequent management of medicinal herbs, how do you arrange it?"
Li Yan immediately replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Xi. We have invited the country's top Chinese medicinal herb planting experts to provide technical guidance and have developed a detailed planting and management plan."
Xi Qing adjusted his rimless glasses, his brows relaxed, and he finally decided to use the land in Xialuoyin as Chunzhi's new Chinese medicine planting base.
He glanced at the employees present, a smile spread across his face, and he said gently, "I will contact the local land management department tomorrow to discuss the details. Thank you all for your hard work. The meeting is adjourned."
It was as if the air began to flow again. The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly relaxed.
For some reason, even though there had never been any rumor that Xi Qing was mistreating his employees, and even worse, when a commercial spy caused Chunzhi to lose hundreds of millions overnight, Xi Qing simply calmly called the police and did not retaliate against him privately.
But the employees were conscientious and didn't dare to act rashly in front of Xi Qing. Perhaps this was the power of a natural leader, the meeting attendees thought.
After finishing his work, Xi Qing was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune as he walked towards the underground parking lot, got into the driver's seat and drove home.
Passing through the bustling commercial district, while waiting for the red light, Xi Qing, whose glasses only served to enhance his presence but whose eyesight was quite good, immediately noticed the figure of his younger sister, Xi Qian.
On the side of the road, striding towards the food stall across the street...Chen Yuanchuan?
Mi Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.
He came back so soon.
Seeing Xiao Qian so excited, as her brother, I must go and find out what's going on. Xi Qing thought so, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
When the green light came on, Xi Qing turned the steering wheel and parked the car in a parking space not far away, then walked slowly towards the food stall.
Xi Qing, dressed like a business elite, was clearly out of tune with the worldly surroundings.
Xi Qian's eyes were red, and she questioned Chen Yuanchuan word by word why he had been out of contact for so long, not answering the phone and not replying to text messages.
Ever since Xi Qian came, Chen Yuanchuan has been drinking beer silently as if he had lost his temper, and he treats this tearful school beauty as air.
His best friend Xu Yingran, who had invited him out for dinner, couldn't stand it anymore and pushed Chen Yuanchuan.
Chen Yuanchuan had no words to express his pain, but when he heard Xi Qian's voice gradually choking with sobs, he turned his head to look at the girl who made him at a loss as to how to treat her.
His eyes widened for a moment.
Xi Qian was puzzled by the change in expression of the person in front of him. When he turned around suddenly, it was his brother!
A smile broke out on Qingli's face.
Xi Qing wiped the tears from Xi Qian's eyes with his warm fingertips and comforted her softly, "Xiao Qian, I know what happened. Go home first. I'll talk to him. Don't worry, he'll make you pay him back."
Xi Qian buried her head in Xi Qing's arms and acted coquettishly. She glared at Chen Yuanchuan and walked away angrily.
After Xi Qian left, Xu Yingran leaned over to Chen Yuanchuan's ear with a sly look and asked, "Chuanzi, have you known for a long time that Xi Qian is the eldest daughter of the Xi family?"
Chen Yuanchuan looked puzzled and replied angrily, "I also found out about it a few months ago..."
Xi Qing took a step forward, ignoring the warning in Chen Yuanchuan's eyes, and smiled faintly, extending his right hand to Xu Yingran beside him, saying slowly, "Hello, I'm Xi Qing, nice to meet you."
It was the first time Xu Yingran was treated so seriously by such an important person. He was flattered and quickly wiped the sweat from his hands with the hem of his clothes and shook hands with him. "Hey, I'm Xu Yingran, Chuanzi... a good friend of Chen Yuanchuan."
Xu Yingran changed his words halfway through, trying to make himself look more elegant.
Chen Yuanchuan glanced speechlessly at Xu Yingran, who was grinning like an idiot.
virtue.
Afterward, Xi Qing pulled out a plastic chair, stained yellow from the fumes, and sat down calmly, his demeanor elegant as if he were at a high-society dinner party.
Chen Yuanchuan glanced at Xi Qing's actions, sneered disdainfully, and acted pretentiously.
Xi Qing didn't mention Xi Qian right away. Instead, he leaned forward slightly and asked, "Yuanchuan, are you discharged from the hospital?"
Hmm? Do they know each other? Xu Yingran scratched his head, his suspicious eyes lingering between the two of them.
Then he suddenly realized: Chuanzi was admitted to the hospital? How come I didn't know... Does that mean I'm no longer his best friend? Xu Yingran was in tears.
Chen Yuanchuan was wrongly accused of this. He simply didn't have time to say anything before being interrupted by Xi Qian's sudden attack, and he has been doing so until now.
Seeing that Xi Qing had no intention of leaving, Chen Yuanchuan decided to ignore him. He picked up dishes with his chopsticks and then picked up the bowl to slurp down rice.
Seeing this, Xi Qing also remained calm and waited for Chen Yuanchuan to finish his meal with a smile. It must be said that his eating manners were not very good, but it was quite appetizing.
At this time, the busy waiter brought up two plates of freshly baked meat dishes.
Xu Yingran noticed the awkward atmosphere and rubbed his cheeks before asking Xi Qing, "Mr. Xi, would you like to eat?"
It was just a polite remark. I believe that a rich man like him who is out of touch with the world would not look down on these poor people's delicacies.
Unexpectedly, Xi Qing thanked him happily and asked the waiter to bring new dishes and chopsticks very naturally.
Hearing this, Chen Yuanchuan glanced at Xi Qing expressionlessly, then turned to look at Xu Yingran. Xu Yingran smiled awkwardly and placed a piece of spicy chicken in Chen Yuanchuan's bowl. Chen Yuanchuan continued to eat without saying anything else.
Xu Yingran had always found the situation between them bizarre. It was Chuanzi who had wronged the younger sister, but now Xi Qing was being even more patient in trying to… flatter her? Chuanzi.
The Tiangang is reversed.
Xi Qing did not add more rice. Instead, he picked up a piece of vegetables and two slices of fried beef with his chopsticks and chewed them calmly without commenting on whether they were delicious or not.
Xu Yingran looked at the silent atmosphere and hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't sit still. He found a random excuse, patted Chen Yuanchuan on the shoulder, said "Let's make an appointment later," and slipped away.
I'm sorry, Chuanzi. I would rather die than have a friend die.
Xi Qing looks like a well-known person and doesn't look like a barbarian, so they shouldn't fight... right?
Now, Xi Qing and Chen Yuanchuan were the only two people left at the round table. It was deserted and isolated from the people at the surrounding tables who were having dinner and having fun.
After swallowing the last bite, Xi Qing put down his chopsticks and clasped his hands on the table. With a gloomy look on his face, he said frankly, "Xi Qian and I both lost our parents when we were young, and I raised her. You probably didn't know that Xi Qian was very sensitive and crybaby when she was little, but she's gotten better now that she's grown up."
"But I know that she is still that fragile little girl at heart..." Xi Qing took off his rimless glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and continued.
"I just wanted to warn you at first, but I couldn't handle the alcohol..." Under the incandescent light outdoors, Xi Qing lowered his eyes, his crow-feather-like eyelashes swept across two thick shadows, and his expression was sad.
"I know you won't accept it, but I still want to say sorry solemnly."
The night was dark and starless. Xi Qing approached Chen Yuanchuan with a look of sincere apology on his face, his blazing eyes like pearls on the vast ocean, radiating a gentle and profound light.
Chen Yuanchuan remained silent until Xi Qing came forward and there was no way for him to avoid him, then he turned to face Xi Qing.
Realizing something, Xi Qing was stunned for a moment, and his amber pupils dilated slightly.
Before him, most of Chen Yuanchuan's face was turned away from the light, casting a vast haze. His dark pupils, unable to let in any light, examined every inch of Xi Qing's face, as if trying to discern the authenticity of his emotions.
It was like being stared at by a cold-blooded animal, with a dark and sticky gaze that was inevitably a bit creepy.
Mingming was usually as unrestrained as the wind, confident and free-spirited. But now, under the cover of darkness, he finally and silently released the unknown sinister corner of his soul.
Faced with Chen Yuanchuan's sudden sharp aura, Xi Qing remained calm and accepted his silent interrogation calmly.
