Luo Guoqing really couldn't come up with it now, so he agreed: "If you have time, you can go to the police station with me, and I'll collect it for you!"
Before they could say anything, Tian Xiaolan interrupted: "They can't go with you. Director Shi invited them to dinner. Maybe next time!"
Since it was Director Shi who invited them, he couldn't try to stop them. "Go ahead, and come find me when you have time."
Chen Shaohui agreed: "Okay, I'll come when I'm free."
"Yeah, thanks to you guys this time."
Xing Yifei: "It's okay, if you want to thank someone, thank her, because she found someone and we found out about this."
Tian Xiaolan said to him, "We're leaving first. Don't move and wait for the nurse to come."
"You guys go." Luo Guoqing waved his hand, sat on the edge of the bed, watched the birds chirping in the trees outside, and waited for the nurse to discharge him.
Outside the hospital, Tian Xiaolan walked in front and the two followed behind.
Chen Shaohui just watched his boss follow closely behind.
They didn't talk along the way. Tian Xiaolan thought that in order to build a good relationship with Xing Yifei, she had to take the initiative: "Xing Yifei, what's the difference between you going outside and going to the town?"
Xing Yifei told her, "The houses are much taller than this, and there are more people and shops on the streets."
When Tian Xiaolan heard him say that, she pretended to be surprised and opened her mouth: "Oh my God, how was your meal outside? Did you sleep well?"
Hearing her ask this, Chen Shaohui nodded, thinking that she still had a conscience and knew how to care about the boss, and the few hundred dollars were not wasted.
Xing Yifei chuckled softly, "That's good. Did anyone block you in town?"
This time, Xing Yifei's question was more targeted. Tian Xiaolan thought about how she was blocked by those people yesterday and didn't suffer any loss, so she said, "Yes, I was blocked, but it's okay. They can't beat me."
"I heard there are a lot of scammers out there. Have you encountered any?"
Chen Shaohui crossed his arms and said, "What a joke! Who dares to lie to my elder brother? He doesn't want to live anymore!"
"You're really amazing."
"You're not bad either!"
Tian Xiaolan asked him to talk about what he saw and heard outside so that she could have a general understanding of this era and be able to respond.
Xing Yifei told her about life and experiences in the big city, and did not forget to check Tian Xiaolan's reaction. If she lowered her head to think, he would stop and wait until she thought it through before speaking again.
As Xing Yifei spoke, he walked side by side with Tian Xiaolan, leaving Chen Shaohui behind. He really forgot his friends for the sake of beauty!
He walked behind and looked at Xing Yifei. When he faced Tian Xiaolan, he felt that his real smile had returned. He was willing to show his true emotions in front of her. It seemed that he was really moved. He felt from Tian Xiaolan's words that she seemed to be trying to get information from the boss with ulterior motives. He hoped that he was wrong.
They chatted all the way and arrived at Director Shi's house. Tian Xiaolan saw that the door was open, so she walked to the door and went in.
Tian Xiaolan followed the sound to the kitchen, where she saw Zhou Qiaoqiao busy cooking at the stove. The kitchen was filled with the faint smell of smoke, which could not escape even with the window open.
Zhou Qiaoqiao cut the vegetables skillfully, the knife in her hand flying up and down, cutting the ingredients into even small pieces.
Her eyes were focused and serious, as if she was carving a work of art. On the stove next to her, the oil in the pot was already heating up, making a sizzling sound.
Tian Xiaolan said softly: "Sister Zhou, let me help you!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao raised her head and replied with a smile: "How come you guys came so quickly? I haven't even finished cooking yet!"
Tian Xiaolan put coal into the stove and said, "You are so tired to cook right after get off work. I just wanted to help you. You have helped me so much."
Zhou Qiaoqiao quickly said, "It's okay. We're just helping each other. Don't take it personally."
Tian Xiaolan nodded in agreement.
Zhou Qiaoqiao continued to concentrate on the work in her hands. She put the chopped vegetables into the pot, and a cloud of smoke rose instantly.
She skillfully stir-fried the food, adding seasonings from time to time, her movements deft and quick. Soon, waves of tempting aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Tian Xiaolan helped pass the seasonings and was moved by Zhou Qiaoqiao's busy figure. She knew that it was not easy for Zhou Qiaoqiao to work hard every day and take care of her family's food and daily life.
Zhou Qiaoqiao praised Tian Xiaolan, "I heard that Li Dafu was using counterfeit money, and you were the one who discovered it. You have such sharp eyes!"
Tian Xiaolan said with a smile, her face flushed with embarrassment: "I just feel that he is not quite right. He has been urging Director Shi to sign. It seems that he is afraid that we will find out. It is also lucky that I felt differently in the past."
Zhou Qiaoqiao sighed, "If it weren't for you, my Shichang would have been cheated again. You are my family's lucky star!"
Tian Xiaolan waved her hand: "Sister Zhou, you think too highly of me. Director Shi must be lucky, otherwise how could he have turned danger into safety so many times."
Even though she said that, Zhou Qiaoqiao still disagreed with her, "Don't underestimate yourself. So many times, it's only because of you that things are okay. Otherwise, our family would have broken up long ago."
Tian Xiaolan said: "It's because you all trust me, otherwise we wouldn't be able to cooperate so well."
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt comfortable hearing these words. She couldn't help but think that this girl was kind-hearted and good at talking, which was rare.
Outside, Xing Yifei watched Tian Xiaolan and Zhou Qiaoqiao talking at the kitchen door. Chen Shaohui stood aside and gave him some advice: "Boss, it's useless for you to just stand there and watch! Go help them light the fire!"
"No."
"Go ahead!" Chen Shaohui felt that he needed help, so he pushed him hard from behind. After seeing him go in, he clapped his hands and retracted his body behind the wall.
Xing Yifei didn't notice and staggered after being pushed by him. He found that the two people who were still talking had turned their eyes to him with confusion in their eyes.
Zhou Qiaoqiao saw him come in, wiped the water off her hands on her apron and asked, "What are you doing here? Are you hungry? I'll pour you some water to warm you up. Wait outside first, the food will be ready soon!"
Xing Yifei: "Don't you want to help?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao heard him say that, looked at the kitchen and saw that it was already done, and said to him: "It's almost done, you can go and sit down."
Tian Xiaolan also advised: "Listen to Sister Zhou."
"good."
Xing Yifei turned around and went out. Seeing that he didn't even try, Chen Shaohui sighed. If this continued, how would he ever be able to catch the girl?
It’s true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!
After a while, Director Shi came back and saw the two of them in the room. He picked up the basin and wanted to fetch water to wash his hands.
Chen Shaohui snatched the basin from his hand and handed it to Xing Yifei, urging him: "Boss, didn't you say you wanted to wash your hands? Go get some water!"
Looking at Chen Shaohui's strange movements, Shi Shichang said, "How can we let guests fetch water?"
