Chapter 41 Chapter 41 My patient finally listened to the doctor...
A week later, at Leng Yunting's request, Chi Ke got Xu Lemian the second male lead role in a youth campus script.
He took a look at the script and frowned after reading it.
This second male...
Isn’t it written based on Leng Yunting’s stereotype of Bai Yueguang?
He put the script on Leng Yunting's desk and asked, "The second male lead and the female lead have a kissing scene. Are you sure you want the young master to act in it?"
"Just borrow the position." Leng Yunting said nonchalantly, "Go give him the script."
Chi Ke nodded: "There is one more thing I hope you know. The crew will start filming at the end of July and it will take about three months. He joined a two-week exchange study team at the school and will go to France in September. The time overlaps, so he must choose one of the two."
"Got it." Leng Yunting didn't consider this as a problem at all. "Just don't go to his school when the time comes. I'll take him to Russia to find someone to study with at the end of the year."
Chi Ke would never interfere in other people's love affairs, so he had no objection: "Then I'll convey your message for you."
"No need to tell me, I'll tell you myself." Leng Yunting subconsciously stopped him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't take it to heart, "Do you have anything to do this weekend?"
Something must be going on.
This kind of crappy class is not worthy of being 007.
Chi Ke: "I'm going to see the chairman tomorrow."
Leng Yunting frowned: "What about the day after tomorrow?"
"I have an important personal schedule the day after tomorrow." He deliberately emphasized the word "important".
Leng Yunting was dissatisfied: "Why do you have so many personal schedules recently? I know you are working on that hospital with Ji Qian. Are you paying too much attention to it? More than Xingmian and Zhenting, right? Chi Zhu, you are putting the cart before the horse."
Chi Ke had no choice but to emphasize again: "It's not about the hospital, it's a private trip, Mr. Leng, it has nothing to do with work."
Leng Yunting was surprised: "Are you in love?"
Is this person a sex-minded person?
Chi Ke was also convinced: "No."
"If you're not in a relationship, what private plans do you have? Going to a nightclub to pick up girls?" Leng Yunting was curious, "Then why don't you just come with me?"
Chi Ke: “.”
Why are you talking so much?
He stared at Leng Yunting expressionlessly.
Leng Yunting: “…”
"Okay, okay, I won't ask you anymore." Leng Yunting waved his hand impatiently, "Go out."
Chi Ke turned and walked away. Passing by Secretary Sun's desk, he saw him scratching his head in front of the computer and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"Too..." Secretary Sun swallowed back his curse words when he saw the door of the CEO's office. He whispered, "I'm preparing the PPT for the meeting with Zhenting next Monday. I've revised it eight hundred times. CEO Leng said that the content is not rich enough and the key points are not highlighted enough. But when I asked him what the specific problem was, he wouldn't tell me. I really can't change it anymore."
Chi Ke leaned over the table, picked up the mouse, glanced through it, and asked, "How long has it been since you sent him the latest version?"
Secretary Sun glanced at the message time: "One and a half hours."
"Let's go and eat, and come back to correct it." Chi Ke pulled him up and walked towards the cafeteria.
An hour later, the two returned to their workstations. Chi Ke called up his first version, changed the theme color of the PPT, bolded the data in red, enlarged the font size, added three pages, and forwarded it to Leng Yunting with one click.
The whole operation took less than ten minutes, leaving Secretary Sun dumbfounded and terrified.
With a "ding" sound.
Leng Yunting replied.
【Leng: Yes.】
"Fuck!" Secretary Sun was excited, "Chi Zhu you you you you..."
"You're welcome." Chi Ke patted him on the shoulder, said "good luck", picked up his bag and punched out.
Is the problem with the PPT?
No.
The problem is the boss.
When Ji Qian found out about this in the evening, he laughed so hard.
"Is Secretary Sun frightened? He must have always thought you were very well behaved, right?"
"Don't you think so?" Chi Ke had just finished taking a shower and was sitting on the head of the bed with wet hair, a laptop on his legs and a cell phone next to him, on which he was talking.
"Behave yourself?" Ji Qian was surprised. "Who? You?"
Chi Ke did not comment.
People who knew him before but didn't know him well would have a stereotype of him being serious and rule-abiding.
Ji Qian has a good eye.
He didn't continue the topic: "You called me so late at night just to have such a boring conversation?"
Ji Qian was excited: "How can it be boring? Do you think I'm boring? Is it boring for you to chat with me?"
This is also a super sensitive skin.
"I'm not bored yet, so before I get bored, you'd better tell me the main purpose of this call." Chi Ke picked up the can at hand and tapped it lightly -
"What are you drinking?" Ji Qian's voice dropped. "Coke or beer? Cold or iced?"
Chi Ke: “…”
Chi Ke cleared his throat and pushed the can away: "Rock sugar and snow pear."
Ji Qian: “Oh, beer.”
Chi Ke gritted his teeth: "At least it's at room temperature."
"Just took it out of the refrigerator, right?" Ji Qian said in a flat tone, "I guess it's from a big can."
Chi Ke: “.”
How did you guess it?
"Drinking cold beer late at night, and finally making it to the weekend, do you want to come to the hospital to accompany me to work tomorrow?" Ji Qian began to be sarcastic, "How considerate, brother."
"That's enough." Chi Ke interrupted, "If you don't want to drink it, throw it away."
"I'm so touched," Ji Qian didn't let him go and continued to complain, "My patient is finally willing to listen to the doctor's advice."
It's bullshit.
When did I not listen to the end?
Chi Ke hung up the phone expressionlessly and stood up to blow dry his hair.
As long as the hair dryer was loud enough, he wouldn't be able to hear the ringing tone of the cell phone. As long as he couldn't hear the ringing tone, he could make up his mind not to answer Ji Qian's call.
As the saying goes, as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
After the hair dryer stopped, the phone outside was still ringing. I picked it up and saw that there were four or five missed calls.
He plays quite diligently.
Chi Ke clicked the answer button.
"elder brother--"
"Let's talk business." Chi Ke said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"Okay." Ji Qian could tell that he was not angry. He felt a little sorry for the order that prevented him from continuing the meaningless conversation. He reluctantly became serious and said, "I saw Chi Zhengbing tonight."
"Where are you?" Chi Ke restrained his expression and leaned against the French window. "What's going on?"
"On the way back, we passed by a residential area and saw him squatting at the door smoking a pack of cigarettes before leaving." Ji Qian said, "I have arranged for someone to follow him."
Chi Ke has been very busy since he came back from Yanping, so Ji Qian took over the surveillance work in Yanping and helped him investigate the original owner's father.
It was too strange for him to investigate his own family members, especially since he didn't even know his biological father's name. He didn't have many people he could trust, so the investigation was very slow. All these made it much easier for Ji Qian to operate.
When handing the matter over to Ji Qian, Chi Ke made a very bold move and told the other party frankly that he was not familiar with his "father" and that to him, "family members" were like a blank sheet of paper.
Ji Qian did not let him down. He did not ask any extra questions and just worked quietly, which saved him a lot of trouble.
Chi Ke just learned the news about the original owner's father not long ago.
Chi Zhengbing, a native of Yanping, got pregnant with 18-year-old Lu Lijuan when he was 20 years old. He did not want to take responsibility, and ran away to work in another place after learning that she was pregnant. He was caught by enthusiastic neighbors three years later and the two were forced to get married. At that time, their eldest son, the original owner, was just over two years old. Sixteen years later, Lu Lijuan became pregnant unexpectedly and gave birth to their youngest son, Chi Yuanfan.
The couple who got married after being pregnant did not have a good relationship. Sixteen years of living together day and night did not deepen their feelings. According to their neighbors, quarrels could be heard from their house every day, and they were always arguing about the same few topics.
Chi Zhengbing hated this woman for ending his carefree youth. Lu Lijuan never refuted this and only blamed him for not paying attention to the children.
In order to escape such quarrels, thirteen years ago, Chi Zhengbing went out to drink at night in anger. When he was drunk, he fell down the hillside and broke both legs. He lay in bed for a long time.
Lu Lijuan took out all the money in the house and barely saved his life. His legs could still walk, but his staggering appearance was very funny and he was laughed at whenever he went out.
Chi Zhengbing couldn't stand this kind of humiliation, and his temper became even more irritable and angry. Once he went out for two months, and when he came back he was a completely changed person. He used to pretend in front of his children, but after that he started drinking, playing cards and stocks like crazy, and completely ignored the family.
The family was unable to make ends meet and became increasingly financially strapped. There was a time when they couldn’t even afford to eat, until the original owner successfully passed the entrance exam to university and gave back to the family.
It would have been best for Lu Lijuan to take her children and follow the original owner to City S after the divorce, but they did not do so, and the reason is still unknown.
Fortunately, Ji Qian had found out the stocks he invested in and the time he spent at the entertainment venues he frequently visited, which made it easier for him to continue his investigation.
"Is he here alone?" Chi Ke asked.
"I checked his ticket. He just arrived in S City this morning. He has no one traveling with him. He is staying in a youth hostel near that community. I sent you his location. So far, I haven't seen him come into contact with anyone else."
Ji Qian forwarded two links, which turned out to be surveillance videos at the entrance of the youth hostel.
Chi Ke was surprised: "You can still get this?"
"What's the tone? I have some ability to protect myself." Ji Qian couldn't tolerate such doubts and snorted, "Do you think I'm better?"
Even through the Internet cable, Chi Ke could imagine the peacock's facial expression when it spoke.
If it had a tail, it might have already reached the sky.
Ji Qian was obsessed with himself and continued: "Why don't you say anything? Admit it, Xiao Chi, you are also obsessed with me, right?"
Chi Ke said lazily: “Yeah.”
Ji Qian: “…”
Ji Qian: “?”
Ji Qian: “Hmm?”
Ji Qian: "What did you just say?"
"You heard it." Chi Ke lay back on the bed. "Okay, I'm going to call Chi Yuanfan. Thank you for this. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without much pause and called Chi Yuanfan.
Before returning from Yanping, he bought Chi Yuanfan a phone watch as a farewell gift to facilitate contact.
Chi Yuanfan had to help his mother with housework at night and went to bed very late, but he still answered the phone immediately at this hour.
"elder brother?"
"Is it convenient to talk?" Chi Ke asked.
There was a rustling sound over there. Chi Yuanfan put down his broom and walked to a place where Lu Lijuan couldn't notice him. He said obediently, "Yeah, it's convenient."
Chi Ke got straight to the point: "Has your father returned home these days?"
"Yes." Without him asking any more questions, Chi Yuanfan explained the matter in detail, "He went home last Thursday to ask his mother for money, and he hasn't been back since."
Chi Ke recalled the huge sums of money that had been regularly withdrawn from the original owner's account.
After I came here, I changed my mobile phone number and never transferred money to that account again. Could it be that he had spent all the money and couldn't contact his son who had been sending money to him, so he planned to come to the city to find him in person?
Chi Ke asked: "Did you give him the money?"
Chi Yuanfan said timidly: "Mom gave it to me."
Chi Ke was not surprised: "How much did you give?"
Chi Yuanfan knew the amount of money given to them for the New Year.
Chi Yuanfan was silent for a moment, then said, "All of them."
Chi Ke sighed: "Do you know the monthly income and expenditure of the family..."
I got stuck in the middle of the sentence and changed the question to a more understandable one: "How much money do you need to spend on daily life?"
Chi Yuanfan began to quietly report the monthly grocery shopping expenses and daily necessities.
Chi Ke knew what was going on, so he didn't need him to finish: "Okay, I got it. On Monday, your teacher will call you to the office to give you some money. You can keep it and use it when you need it. If your dad contacts you again recently, you must notify me in time."
Chi Yuanfan was more mature and sensible than he had imagined, and he could manage this small amount of money by himself.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Ji Qian's message.
[The Great Gitzby: You have too much work on your hands recently, so just focus on your own work. Don't worry about this matter for now. I have someone keeping an eye on it. I will go and take a look in a few days.]
Chi Ke was used to handling his own affairs and didn't want to trouble him, but he didn't want to argue either, so he gave an ambiguous reply.
【K: Don’t worry. 】
[The Great Gitzby: Are you going to bed? ]
【k: What? 】
[The Great Gitzby: I have a question for you before you go to bed. ]
【k: say.】
[The Great Gitzby: Did you just admit that you are obsessed with me? ]
Chi Ke: “.”
Chi Ke turned on the computer and typed quickly while listening to the news. After a while, he had written an 800-word essay in praise of Ji Qian and sent it to Ji Qian.
【k: Is that enough? If not, I’ll write more. 】
[The Great Gitzby: Did you create this for me? You just typed it out on the keyboard! /starry eyes/]
【k: It was caused by smashing my head against the keyboard. 】
【The Great Gitzby: /kisskiss.jpg/】
【The Great Gitzby: Shall we go out for dinner tomorrow? 】
【k: I have things to do all day tomorrow. 】
Chi Ke knows what is important and can change plans for small matters, but he will not let Ji Qian affect the important things he should do.
He went to Zhenting in the morning and dealt with the original owner's evil father in the afternoon. He didn't like procrastination.
…
On the other side, Ji Qian put down his mobile phone, changed into low-key and inconspicuous clothes and went to the parking lot.
Leng Baiyao was standing next to a gray sedan worth about 200,000 yuan. When he saw him coming, he threw the car keys to him and asked, "What do you have to do now?"
Ji Qian replied with a nonsense: "It's urgent."
Chi Zhengbing is at the night market now, and he plans to go and find out the situation first.
Although Chi Ke did not refute his instructions just now, but...
Ji Qian sneered.
If this patient of his could be obedient just once, it would be a blessing in disguise.
If Chi Ke doesn't go find Chi Zhengbing tomorrow, he will twist his head off and let this guy kick it like a ball.
…
The next morning, Chi Ke opened his eyes and saw a recording file sent by Ji Qian at around three o'clock in the morning.
Clicking on it is a conversation between two men.
A clear voice with a smile and distinct pronunciation, obviously from Ji Qian.
The other one was extremely hoarse with a dialect tone, and his tongue was sticking out. It seemed that the man was very drunk.
"Big cities have lots of people," the man said vaguely, "and you can get free meals from them."
"Just enjoy your meal." Ji Qian said with a smile, "How about another beer?"
"Come on!" The man was very generous, and then he lowered his voice, "To tell you the truth, brother, my son! He is rich! But he is too unfilial!"
Ji Qian asked with great interest: "Are you here to look for your son?"
"Yes, yes, I'll look for him..." The man muttered to himself for a while, and then said to him, "Unfilial son, this is clearly what I ejaculated, without me he is nothing! Now that he has grown up and become successful, he no longer cares about his biological father. Tell me, am I a beast?"
Ji Qian didn't respond, but asked, "Doesn't he give you money? Do you really need money?"
Hearing this, Chi Ke knew that Ji Qian was angry.
Although it sounded no different from before, one could feel that Ji Qian was very impatient.
"Of course I need it. I'm doing business and want to make a fortune. The initial investment must be huge! I asked him to give me one million before, but he refused to give it to me. So he has to let me teach him a lesson!" the man said, "It's just too late. If he had given me the capital earlier, I would have made money!"
Ji Qian: "How did you show him your colors?"
The man was very proud: "I can't tell you that."
There was silence for two or three minutes, and then Ji Qian spoke again: "Aren't you afraid that he won't give you the money this time?"
"Of course I will, of course I will," the man whispered, "I'm his father, he can't refuse me."
The recording ends here.
Chi Ke listened calmly and let out a long sigh.
The original owner's life was really...
He exited the recording interface and clicked on Ji Qian’s message at the bottom.
[The Great Gitzby: /Voice.13"/ (This is the situation now. I know you don't want me to follow you, so I won't say I'm going with you. Please be careful when you go by yourself. If you have any problems, please be sure to contact me. My phone is on standby 24 hours a day, Mr. Chi~)]
Chi Ke was standing next to the sink brushing his teeth. The electric toothbrush made a slight buzzing sound, and his voice was not very clear.
He rinsed his mouth faster and listened again.
Why.
Worrying about nothing.
He raised his hand to lift his hair, and the water droplets on his fingertips accidentally flew onto the mirror, blocking the barely perceptible smile at the corners of the person in the mirror.
