Chapter 236 Ms. Wen is sick
Qi Xu put down the suitcase and looked at the group of people in confusion.
"What's this for? A home visit?"
This scene feels just like when the teacher came to visit our home when we were kids. It was so oppressive.
Old man Li announced the good news in a loud voice. "What home visit? I'm here to deliver good news to your family."
"Your artillery master has been promoted to a higher rank and has also been awarded a second-class merit. This is cause for celebration."
Qi Xu looked up and saw that there was a big red flower hanging on Lin Youqian's chest, and the epaulettes on his shoulders had changed from two bars and three stars to two bars and four stars.
"Youqian, can you come out now?"
She screamed in surprise, and if there hadn't been outsiders around, she would have definitely rushed over and rewarded him with a kiss.
"Yeah, it's out."
"Baby, where are you going?"
Time was running out, and Qi Xu didn't have time to explain it to him in detail, so he just told him briefly.
"I want to go back to Kyoto. Mom hasn't been feeling well lately. I heard from Kuang Xun that she fainted in the conference room during a meeting yesterday."
"So, I have to go take care of her. And someone has to take care of the company's affairs."
"It's great that you came out, otherwise I would be worried about you."
"Youqian, take good care of yourself. I have to leave quickly. My flight is in half an hour. You greet the leaders."
When Lin Youqian heard that Ms. Wen was ill, he was also extremely worried.
"Mom is sick? Is it serious? I'll go back with you."
Old man Li and Tian Youwei held him tightly.
"Master Pao, you can't leave. You've already taken all your vacation time this year, and you still owe more than ten days."
"Now the development of a new project is imminent. You are the core backbone, and we cannot do without you here. You must stay on the team."
"Let Xiao Pao's wife go over to your mother's place first. If you need help, the army can send someone over, or even a military medical expert. It's all fine."
Lin Youqian shook off the officer who was holding him and roared loudly.
"That's my mother. She was already in poor health, and now she's sick again. I'm her only son, so how could I not go?"
"Didn't I submit all the data and models for R&D? Find another engineer to do it. I've already said I'm retiring this year. Does that mean the army won't be able to function without me?"
Unable to subdue the fierce leopard, Old Man Li could only ask Qi Xu for help.
"Good boy, persuade this kid for me. The army has an important mission now, and we really can't do without him."
"After a few days, when the research project is completed, I will definitely give him a vacation so that he can spend some time with his mother and you, okay? Please."
Qi Xu understood that the work of the army was of a special nature and that one must be politically conscious, consider the overall situation, and sacrifice one's own family for the sake of the whole.
She gently hugged Lin Youqian and comforted him.
"Don't worry, I'll go over and take good care of Mom. Kuang Xun said she fainted due to overwork and low blood sugar, and she's fine."
Lin Youqian's eyes were red and he was almost crying. "Qiqi, I know my mother's condition. She has cancer. This is not a minor illness, do you understand? So I have to go back."
So this is what he was worried about. Qi Xu was a little amused.
"Silly boy, Mom doesn't have cancer. She lied to us. She was chatting with me a while ago and said that in order to trick you into coming back to marry her, she lied a little bit and said she had breast cancer."
"Actually, she just has breast hyperplasia, which causes some swelling and pain from time to time, but it's nothing serious."
Lin Youqian seemed to have heard great news, and he cried and laughed at the same time.
"Qiqi, you didn't lie to me? Mom really doesn't have cancer?"
Qi Xu raised his hand and swore.
"No, I promise. To get a better idea of her health, I dragged her for a full physical checkup last month, including a chest X-ray. She had a lot of minor issues, nothing serious."
"Mom has been overworked these past few years. Her heart isn't in good condition. She also has low blood sugar, chronic pharyngitis, and frozen shoulder. This fainting episode was probably caused by the non-stop overtime."
"I'll go up there and supervise her and take care of her for a while. Don't worry, I'll call you when the time comes."
Although Ms. Wen is not seriously injured, Lin Youqian is still worried.
"Don't rush your flight. I'll take you there myself."
These words frightened Old Man Li so much that he staggered again.
"Oh, no, that's not right. You are in a special situation now and you can't leave the team."
Lin Youqian was almost furious.
"Old man, don't you forget that my punishment has long been lifted? Why are you treating me like a sucker and wanting to keep me imprisoned?"
Old man Li wanted to tie him up in the army and make him contribute to the military cause, but there was no way.
If this guy flew there, he would definitely be delayed for several days. Those thousands of engineers would be idle and have nothing to do.
"No, your new thing, if you're not here, who can understand it? Who can handle it?"
"I know you're a filial son and care about your mother. But research and development is also urgent."
"Just show your dedication again and stay."
Old man Li gave a signal, asking the other officers and soldiers to hold Lin Youqian back and drag Qi Xu out.
"Good boy, hurry up, you go first, I'll send a military vehicle to take you to the airport. As for Pao Ye, the troops really need him urgently, I hope you can understand."
Qi Xu was also a girl with a strong personality. She glared at Old Man Li with a sharp expression.
"Commander, you don't have to do this. My master Pao is such a reasonable man, why use force?"
Old man Li thought, your Pao Ye is reasonable? There are no strong barbarians in this world.
Qi Xu walked up to Lin Youqian, put his arms around his waist tightly, and persuaded him softly.
"Hubby, be obedient and be good. Don't cause trouble for your boss. I will take good care of mom and myself."
"Besides, Ah Le and Ah Xing are following me."
"I'll leave Jia Jia to you. If you're too busy at work, send her to Auntie Pang's house for a while. She likes playing with Xiao Pang. And Auntie Pang is good at taking care of children, so she will definitely raise her to be plump and healthy."
Qi Xu's words were like magic, and he tamed the fierce leopard in just a few words.
"Yeah. Baby, go earlier and come back earlier. I miss you, love you, and like you."
Tian Youwei couldn't bear to listen to these cheesy little love talks anymore, so he urged.
"Okay, Xiao Pao's wife, go quickly and don't miss the plane."
"Don't worry, I'll help you look after your Paoye and Jiajia. I'll take good care of them. No matter how big or small they are, I'll raise them to be plump and white for you."
Finally, under the urging of Old Man Li and Tian Youwei, Qi Xu went out, looking back every few steps.
Lin Youqian took her suitcase and said, "I'll take you to the airport."
"No. It's safer for me to send someone to take her there." Old man Li was startled again, his heart in his throat.
Lin Youqian picked the big red flower and threw it into Old Man Li's hand to reassure him.
"Don't worry, I'll just send her off. I won't run away. I promised Qiqi that I won't go back on my word."
After he said that, Old Man Li's heart finally settled down.
"There's no time left. Take your credentials and drive the military vehicle over there. Go through the green channel and send her directly to the plane."
Lin Youqian said, "Send a driver over."
Old Man Li thought, "You can drive, right? Why send a driver? What a waste of human resources."
Tian Youwei quickly pushed Secretary Yang next to him.
"Yang Xin, go drive for Master Pao. Remember, wear earplugs."
Now, Old Man Li also understood. Poor Secretary Yang, he didn't understand very well and ignored Tian Youwei's words.
"Wearing headphones while driving is unsafe."
"Chief, I'll send them over first!"
Old man Li and Tian Youwei smiled at each other.
"This silly boy is probably in for a treat."
