Chapter 599 Don’t Believe in Ghost Pressure
On the ninth day after returning to China, I called Mr. Chen and told him I would report to his office at 9 a.m. He said, "I'm out doing something. Please come over at 11 a.m."
In that case, I didn't leave until nine o'clock. When I arrived at Xuri, I met some acquaintances in the elevator and they all greeted me.
I reached the seventeenth floor and entered 1701. I pressed the bell and the waiter came. She smiled and said,
"Boss Wan, you haven't been here for more than two months."
I nodded and said, "You have a good memory."
While helping to make tea, she said, "If you hadn't come, I would have to open the door and come in to clean up every day. I've been looking forward to your return."
Listening to the tone, why would a waiter be expecting me to come back so early? He must have something to ask me, so he smiled and said:
"Thank you for leaving the room so clean. If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."
She made a cup of tea and placed it on my table. She sat down and said:
"Then I'll take a few minutes of your time. I often have nightmares..."
Before she could finish, I waved my hand, signaling her to stop, and then said:
"Go to the hospital for a full physical examination. There must be something wrong with your body. Have you consulted a fortune teller?"
"Yes. He told a terrifying story, saying something about being possessed by a ghost."
"He took your money and asked you to buy a gourd to hang above your bed."
"Yes, he also said that it would only be useful if I took it to him for blessing."
"That's nonsense. Just listen to me."
The waiter was a little surprised when he heard me say that and asked, "So you don't believe in these things either?"
"I trust what I should trust. When it comes to illness, I trust the doctor."
She thanked me a few words and left.
I habitually checked my phone. Chunlai reported to me every day. He said Dana was getting better day by day, and now he accompanies her running every day.
I replied: "Next time you run, record a video and send it to me. Let me see if she runs naturally."
There was another message below, from Hua Manqi: "Mr. Wan, if your master needs to buy medicine, I can help him."
I replied, "I really need to trouble you. Please send me your phone number. I want my wife to contact you."
After a while, she sent me her cell phone number, and I forwarded it to my wife, explained the situation, and told her to contact Xiaohua if she had any questions.
The next message was from Sister Li, thanking me and Mr. Deng.
I replied: "This is what we should do. Give him a call whenever you have time. It's lonely when you get old."
Then, I called Lao Xiao and told him that I had arrived at Xuri.
Lao Xiao said: "Mr. Chen just called me and asked me to have lunch with you at noon. I'm on my way.
There is another female comrade with me, and she asked me to bring her over. What is your opinion? Should I meet her or not?
I laughed out loud: "If you know me, then meet me. If you don't know me, forget it."
"Not only do you know each other, you have a very good relationship."
"Qingruo?"
"She's not coming. You're talking about Qing Ruo as soon as you open your mouth."
"Who?"
"I won't tell you."
No matter how much I asked, Lao Xiao refused to tell me, only saying that we would see each other in half an hour.
I had no choice but to hang up the phone and wait for them.
About half an hour later, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and was startled. It was Ning Jing.
After welcoming them into the house and sitting them down, I made some tea and asked, "Isn't your work in Boten going well?"
Ning Jing said: "The infrastructure construction is about to be completed, and we are just waiting for the time to open it up."
I said, "How long does it take to build a fruit market?"
Ning Jing said: "I have never encountered such inefficient partners in my cooperation with local people. It took half a year to handle the formalities, and the infrastructure construction was stopped for three days after one day of work."
Lao Xiao said: "We have to understand that if the port is not open and there is no confidence, won't it just drag on?"
Ning Jing said, "I've changed someone to go. I'm assisting Mr. Xiao now."
I looked at Lao Xiao and asked, "What's the situation over there?"
Lao Xiao laughed and said, "That black-toothed dog was sentenced to five years, and everything is now quiet. Now we can start the full-scale construction."
I asked, "Is Xiang Sanqiu okay?"
Lao Xiao said: "This guy is not bad. After all, he has been contracted for municipal projects for many years and has been in contact with government officials of different levels. On the surface, he looks like a gangster, but in fact, he knows the rules well."
So they asked me about my situation in Thailand and I gave them a brief introduction.
Lao Xiao said, "If the ban is lifted there, I actually suggest you invite Mr. Chen and Qing Ruo to go there for an inspection."
I did some calculations and said, "That's a good suggestion. I heard the lockdown will be lifted there in September, so I have 40 days until I go there. So it's September, exactly."
We chatted for a while, and then my phone rang. I hung up and said, "You guys sit down for a while. Mr. Chen is here. I'm going to go over there for a while."
