Chapter 1
I don’t know if it was because of the sudden drop in temperature, or because Jiang Qi didn’t close the window when he slept at night, or because he simply caught a cold because he wasn’t wearing enough clothes, but Jiang Qi started to have a fever the day after the test.
Jiang Qi began to feel something was wrong with his body when he woke up in the morning. He felt dizzy, his throat was red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he had a cold.
To be on the safe side, Jiang Qi found the thermometer that had been covered in dust in the cabinet for a long time.
The temperature was 38.2℃.
It has reached the standard for going to the community hospital for saline drip.
Jiang Bing also woke up. Hearing some noise outside, she came out in her pajamas without combing her hair to take a look and found Jiang Qi holding a thermometer in his hand.
"Brother, are you feeling unwell?"
"38.2℃." Jiang Qi showed the thermometer to Jiang Bing.
Jiang Bing, whose eyes were still swollen after crying all night yesterday, was shocked. She took the thermometer to confirm, and grabbed Jiang Qi to go to the community hospital outside the residential area.
"Sister, you are wearing pajamas." Jiang Qi reminded.
Jiang Bing was stunned. He went back to the room and changed his clothes in two minutes. He grabbed his hair and made it look presentable. Then he dragged Jiang Qi to the community hospital.
The community hospital at the entrance of the community has been here since Jiang Qi was in elementary school. Usually, nearby residents who have headaches or fevers and are too lazy to go to a big hospital will come here to get some medicine and a couple of injections.
Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing have been receiving saline drips in this community hospital since they were young. There are only two doctors in the hospital, and they take turns on duty. The doctor on duty today is Dr. Zhao, whom Jiang Qi recognizes.
It’s a pity that Dr. Zhao didn’t know Jiang Qi. After all, Jiang Qi hadn’t been ill enough to go to the hospital since high school, and he hadn’t been to the community hospital for many years, so it would be strange if the doctor recognized him.
There were no patients in the community hospital at around 8am, and the only nurse had just arrived, holding a half-finished sweater in her hands. Dr. Zhao gave Jiang Qi a simple checkup, took his temperature, and concluded that he had a normal cold and fever.
"Is it an injection or medicine?" asked Doctor Zhao.
"Let's get the injection. How many days will the injection take?" Jiang Qi said.
"About three days."
"Doctor, how long will my brother have to receive the IV drip today?" Jiang Bing asked.
"Two large bottles and two small bottles. If it's fast, it will take about two or three hours." said Doctor Zhao.
"Then you can get the injection here. I'm going to Uncle Huang's place to have breakfast first. Uncle Huang has sent me a message asking me to come up." Jiang Bing only had food in mind. "If you feel cold sitting here, tell me and I'll bring you a thick coat from home."
"Okay sis."
Jiang Qi watched Jiang Bing's back as she walked away. Doctor Zhao smiled and said, "You and your sister have a pretty good relationship. Usually mothers bring their children here for injections. It's rare to see a sister bring her brother here for injections."
Jiang Qi also felt that he and Jiang Bing had maintained a good sibling relationship over the years. What Jiang Bing said the day he came back about his hand being chopped off by his parents and whether he should call 120 was definitely an exaggerated lie.
Considering their relationship as siblings, they must call 120!
As for whether they will stop their parents from chopping it, that is not certain.
.
Since he had to take the injection for three days, Jiang Qi happily decided to give himself three days off. At this time, the benefits of being a boss are reflected. Office workers may still worry about having their salary or attendance deducted for taking sick leave, but bosses don't have this concern.
The nurse, who came to work with a half-knitted sweater, gave Jiang Qi an injection very efficiently and also considerately handed him the TV remote control so that he could watch whatever he wanted.
Jiang Qi had no choice. The hospital's TV didn't have any membership for any video apps, and all the shows he was watching recently required membership. Jiang Qi could only randomly pick a crime-themed movie that didn't require membership and started watching it.
The nurse sat next to Jiang Qi, occupying the prime position for watching the movie. She watched the movie while knitting a sweater, and from time to time she chatted with Dr. Zhao about daily gossip such as vegetable prices and children's school.
As they chatted, the nurse and Dr. Zhao talked about script-killing.
"Xiao Zhen, I remember your brother seemed to have opened a script-killing store, right?" Dr. Zhao, who had been chatting on his phone, suddenly said.
"Yes, it opened last year, and has been open for more than a year. At first I thought he was just opening a shop to mess around in whichever industry makes money. You know his little tricks. He opened a milk tea shop because he saw that the milk tea shop was making money. He opened an internet celebrity instant noodle shop because he saw that the internet celebrity instant noodle shop was popular. The private cinema he opened two years ago lost a lot of money. When he opened the script-killing shop, he wanted to borrow money from me, but I didn't lend it to him. I only have about 3,000 yuan a month, so how could I afford to help him with this?" Nurse Zhen talked quickly and knitted quickly. She was obviously an old hand.
"I remember you said before that your brother's new store made a lot of money."
"He's just damn lucky." Nurse Zhen was merciless in belittling her brother. "I went home last week and heard my mom say that his store has good business at times and bad business at other times. In the past few months, business has been not so good. He's thinking about organizing a competition or something, soliciting sponsorship from everywhere. I don't know what he's doing."
"Doctor Zhao, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
"Didn't I just read a news report? It seems to be about our city. The leader of the human trafficking gang was arrested in a script-killing store in our city 10 years ago. The news was not very clear. I remember that your brother seemed to be in this business. I wanted to ask if you know anything about it."
"I think this news was from last month. You just heard about it now?" Nurse Zhen looked down at her stitches. "The store seems to be called something like River. My cousin has been there before and she wanted to invite me to go with her. I'm already in my 30s and my child is about to go to elementary school. How can I afford to go there?"
Jiang Qi felt a little groggy due to a cold and fever. He couldn't concentrate on the boring movie and didn't want to look at his phone. He just watched the movie while listening to Nurse Zhen and Doctor Zhao chatting.
Originally he thought he could hear the inside stories and gossips of other script shops, but he didn't expect these two people to talk about him.
"Nurse Zhen, what is the name of the script-killing store your brother opened?" Jiang Qi decided to bring the topic back.
Nurse Zhen didn't think much about it, thinking that Jiang Qi was just asking out of curiosity, and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be the Detective Heart Unchanged Script Performance Store, which is located over there in the central square. I heard from my brother that there are seven or eight script performance stores in that business district."
Still determined to detect?
Why do I seem to have heard of this store somewhere?
Jiang Qi took out his cell phone and started searching.
"Do you usually play script-killing games?" asked Nurse Zhen.
"I've played it a few times." Jiang Qi answered honestly.
The search results came out.
Jiang Qi has definitely never been to this store, but he is very familiar with the address of this store and the store next to it.
Considering that Nurse Zhen's last name is Zhen, her brother is most likely also named Zhen if nothing unexpected happens...
Isn’t this a coincidence!
This is JC’s arch-rival store!
"What is this competition you just talked about?" Jiang Qi tried to ask.
Originally he thought he was just listening to some gossip and eating some melon, but he didn't expect to get such a big bite.
Nurse Zhen said, "I don't know either. I heard my brother mention it casually during the National Day holiday. He said he wanted to organize a script competition or something, and asked me to help promote it after the competition was completed. I guess it hasn't been completed yet, and he hasn't asked me to help promote it."
Nurse Zhen didn't understand, and Jiang Qi didn't understand either. He had only heard of holding exhibitions, but had never heard that scriptwriting could also hold competitions.
It seems that he is ignorant.
I have to ask Yan Huaiyou what the competition is about.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qi took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yan Huaiyou.
Yan Huaiyou responded as soon as the message was sent, but it was also a question.
Yan Huaiyou: I remember Jiang Qi, you said before that you wanted to rent another store nearby to expand your business, right? The storefront of Saibang Coffee Shop is for subletting. If you are interested, I can help you contact their owner.
Saibang Cafe is the cafe where Jiang Qi and Fang Jing discussed the team-building deal. It is on the street near the alley and very close to the Xinghe Script Agency, only about five minutes' walk away.
Jiang Qi remembered that the coffee shop was quite big, with two floors covering about 300-400 square meters, and the decoration was simple, with few partitions. If he bought it, he would have to rebuild the whole shop and build additional partitions on both the first and second floors. Jiang Qi didn't need a lobby to open a branch, and all the rooms would be enough.
According to preliminary estimates, the renovation will cost 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the rent of this store is probably not cheap either.
Jiang Qi now has about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in his card. After paying off Jiang Bing's debt and paying him back, he would be lucky to have some.
Although the money is only a small amount, this store is really good.
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is not a bad luck store like a braised food store. Saibang Coffee Shop has been open for many years and its business has been neither good nor bad. It can be considered an old store.
Jiang Qi: Why did the coffee shop suddenly want to sublet? I remember that it has been open for a few years. Is it the owner's personal reasons?
It kept showing that Yan Huaiyou was typing, and it took him more than a minute to send the message.
Yan Huaiyou: ...It shouldn’t be the boss’s personal reason
Jiang Qi:? Why is that?
Yan Huaiyou: If I am not mistaken
Yan Huaiyou: Most likely my shop has taken away all the business in the past few months, and the boss can’t keep it going.
Yan Huaiyou: Of course, it is also possible that he was so angry that he closed the door
Jiang Qi holding the phone: ???
It took away the coffee shop's business and squeezed the coffee shop out of business???
This is even more outrageous than the fact that the signature dishes of Galaxy Script Studio are braised food, vegetable noodles and colorful ropes.
