Chapter Thirty: A Man Like Drinking Water Knows Its Warmth

"Hey, stop looking. He's already gone. There's no point in looking."

Miss Gao's words were like a big hand, pulling my thoughts back to the ward.

Seeing that I was not very interested, Miss Gao dropped this boring topic.

"In a few days, our Yunshang Group's press conference will be held. We will leave the day after tomorrow. You should hurry up and pack your things in the next two days."

Miss Gao threw me a bunch of car keys and said, "I'll give you the Mercedes Benz downstairs. Pick me up on time."

"So fast?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I looked at Miss Gao's delicate face.

"The merchants of Jinling have been suffering from Xiahou Mingjun for a long time, so they are taking advantage of Xiahou Mingjun's absence to redistribute all the industries in Jinling."

"If we were later, we might not even be able to drink the soup." Miss Gao crossed her hands and nodded frequently.

"Okay, I will go through the discharge procedures today and then go back to pack my things." After getting my reply, Ms. Gao left the ward.

The sound of high heels could be heard in the corridor. Perhaps Miss Gao wanted to go to Jinling as soon as possible.

I looked out the window and saw sparrows standing on the wires and chirping, and swallows bringing branches and leaves everywhere to build nests.

Even birds want to have a home in this city.

However, I have been staying in Cannes for the past few years, but I have never had a place to settle down.

Jinling is larger than Kangcheng and more difficult to gain a foothold in.

Where should I go from here?

Just as my thoughts were drifting away, the door to the ward opened again.

"Qin Zhou..."

Liu Qiao put on a JK uniform and spoke carefully.

The Liu Qiao in front of her looked like a child who had made a mistake and admitted it to the teacher.

"I'm sorry for causing you to get hurt again." Liu Qiao bowed to me.

How could I bear it? I immediately supported Liu Qiao and said, "What are you talking about!"

"If it hadn't been for your news, Xiaoya might have..."

I couldn't help but feel a little scared and didn't dare to think about it further.

"Is Xiaoya okay? Why didn't I see her?"

After hearing the news about Xiaoya, Liu Qiao also asked about Xiaoya's condition.

"She went back to Kyoto."

Liu Qiao pouted her mouth and her bulging cheeks were as cute as a squirrel hiding food. She said in a soft and waxy tone, "Then will you miss me so much when I leave?"

I was stopped by Liu Qiao's words.

I didn't dare to reply. I looked out the window and prepared to avoid the topic.

Silence is sometimes an answer.

If there is no clear agreement, then it is regarded as rejection.

Liu Qiao felt depressed, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Well...I have to leave tomorrow too."

Zhang Hu was in coma, Xiaoya left, and Liu Qiao was my last friend in Kangcheng.

"Where are you going?" I turned around and asked her.

"You know how to go to school? I'm still in school." Liu Qiao tilted his head and looked at me and joked, "You don't take my affairs to your heart, do you?"

"No, no." I scratched my head, "You are going to Jinling tomorrow?"

Liu Qiao lowered her head and stopped talking, as if she was not mentally prepared for separation.

"I will also go to Jinling the day after tomorrow." I walked up to Liu Qiao and rubbed her head.

After listening to my words, Liu Qiao raised his head excitedly, "Really?"

I walked to the water dispenser, poured two cups of warm water, and handed one cup to Liu Qiao.

"In all these years, I haven't made a name for myself in Kangcheng. I have been looking for traces of Xiaoya."

"Now that Xiaoya's affairs are settled, it's time for me to develop well."

I looked at the water in the cup, watching the rising heat, and continued.

"In this life, there are only so many opportunities, just like this glass of water. If you don't seize the opportunity in time, then..."

"He can also get cold." After saying that, I drank all the water in the cup.

Life is like drinking water, only you know whether it is warm or cold.

Liu Qiao frowned slightly and looked at me with a strange look.

She covered her mouth and said in shock, "You won't do it just for this little thing..."

"The opportunity I'm talking about means the opportunity to leave a small city! What are you thinking about?" I looked at Liu Qiao speechlessly.

"During this period of time, during my fights with Jiang Cheng and Xiahou Mingjun, I discovered that protecting Xiaoya requires more than just words."

"I can't beat Jiang Cheng in power, and I can't beat Xiahou Mingjun in strength. I need to climb to a higher position and have my own power so that I can better protect Xiaoya."

Liu Qiao nodded frequently as he listened to my words. Looking at Liu Qiao, I shook my head, "Why are I telling you this? Damn it, I'll see you off tomorrow!"

Hearing me saying that I was going to see her off, Liu Qiao suddenly smiled. "Okay! It's settled then! Remember to come see me off tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Liu Qiaofei also left the ward. "Then we'll see you in Jinling!"

After Liu Qiao left, I went to visit Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu's face is still pale compared to the past few days. In the past two days, under the careful care of the nurse, his face has become rosy.

I leaned over, squatted in front of the hospital bed, and held Zhang Hu's hand.

"Zhang Hu, I will leave Kangcheng in the next two days. You said you would go side by side with me."

"I'm going to Jinling alone and I'm not familiar with the place. You need to wake up early!"

"If you wake up, come to Jinling to find me." I put down an envelope and left.

After I left the hospital, Zhang Hu seemed to sense something.

The electrocardiogram became extremely active, and the hanging bottle on the hospital bed and the bandages on the body were like a restraint, like a shackles.

He struggled desperately, twisting his body constantly, trying to break free from the endless darkness.

"Doctor! Doctor! The patient is emotionally unstable!"

"Get ready for surgery!"

Of course I didn't know this.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I drove the Mercedes-Benz given to me by Miss Gao back to the staff dormitory.

Along the way, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at me.

I returned to my dormitory and started packing my clothes in preparation for going to Jinling.

A security guard who was a few years older than me opened the door and came in.

"Should I call you Captain now?"

He handed me a cigarette with a big smile on his face and said, "You have become rich, but don't forget us old guys."

"It's so prosperous, I just changed my job as a security guard." I smiled and pushed away his cigarette.

Hearing my words, his smile grew wider.

"There are so many people in our security team, why did Boss Gao just take you away alone?"

It turns out that there is a knife hidden in the smile!

Over the years, I have not gotten to know anyone in the security team at all.

They are often even squeezed out together.

"Aren't you attracted by Boss Gao? Last time you were injured, your boss came to see you in person, and so many people in the team were watching."

"When you get rich, don't forget us old friends!"

I pushed him away and said, "I've explained many times that I just go to Jinling to be a bodyguard, not to manage Miss Gao's property."

A voice came out of nowhere in the corridor, "Old Li, I don't appreciate your kindness at all, so stop being so hot-tempered."

"That's right, the old nest was filled with mud swallows, which flew up to the branches and turned into phoenixes."

"white collar guy from a working-class background!"

"Stop talking, he will file a complaint with Miss Gao later, and we will all be expelled."

A few sentences gave me one label after another.

I ignored the voices from the outside world and packed my luggage.

Only I know what I have gone through to get to where I am today.

A person knows whether drinking water is cold or warm.

When Lao Li saw me like this, he no longer asked for trouble.

When leaving, he closed the door hard.

It seemed like they were venting their dissatisfaction with me, but I ignored what they did.
