Chapter 17 If you go out to eat, I will definitely pay.
The next day, when she was about to get off work, Qiao Xinwei was searching for information when a small pop-up window suddenly appeared in the lower right corner. The title above caught her attention - The outdated cellist is expected to stand up. Under the title, Xiao Tianai
Poster photo from a previous concert.
This society is really very realistic. In the first half of the year, Xiao Tianai was still a popular star in the world. In just a few months, she became a "has-been".
Qiao Xinwei's hands were shaking a little, so she clicked the mouse three or two times before clicking in. The report said that Xiao Tianai's surgery was the first of its kind in the world, and it attracted great attention from the medical community. After eight hours,
With great efforts, she was pushed out of the operating room at 4 p.m. She is now awake and in good condition.
In this society, not only the media and communication industry, but also medicine are developed. A patient who was declared disabled in his legs five years ago can still stand up five years later.
At this time, Jiang Hao also called. She picked up the call and said, "I just saw the news."
"Well, I just got a call too."
Qiao Xinwei asked in surprise: "You didn't go?"
"I'm in the army. I'm not a doctor. What's the point of me going there?"
Her mood suddenly became so beautiful that she said, "Tch, why don't you go and accompany her? She needs your spiritual support. If possible, she most hopes that you will hold her hand and support her when you enter the operating room."
Jiang Hao was offended, "It's so bitter to hear what you said. Well, I know you are jealous, but I really didn't go. I have been in meetings today. You'd better save some jealousy for our family."
"I didn't. Didn't I infer based on normal thinking... Then Jiang Hao, are you going to the hospital to see her after work?"
"No, there are doctors and nurses taking care of her, so there's no need for me."
Qiao Xinwei pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then I won't work overtime today and go out to eat at night? I've paid my salary, hahaha."
"Silly girl, how much salary did you get to make you smile like this?"
"I won't tell you to save you from worrying about it," she teased.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, don't tell me. Just keep it in your little vault. I'll pay for it if you go out to eat."
"You can have this, hahaha... Oh, I won't tell you anymore. I have to finish the work at hand before I get off work."
"Well, I'll pick you up later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xinwei suddenly saw Gu Rongchen standing next to her desk. The tall man was looking down at her every move. She was so startled that she almost dropped her phone.
"Oh my god, can you walk without making a sound?"
Gu Rongchen was still wearing a neck brace and the back of his neck was bandaged, so he couldn't move freely. He said, "You are too engrossed in talking on the phone."
Qiao Xinwei suddenly felt embarrassed. Talking to her husband on the phone would inevitably be a bit coquettish. It was very awkward to be overheard like this.
Seeing her silence, Gu Rongchen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't delay your date and dinner time with your husband. I just came here to tell you that the six villagers in Xidi Village will be detained for 15 days.
But I’m worried that they will make trouble again after they come out.”
"What should we do?" She was really embarrassed to let him stand and bend over to talk to her. Qiao Xinwei stood up and moved the stool towards him, "Mr. Gu, you'd better sit down and talk."
Gu Rongchen was not polite. He sat down slowly and showed her the document in his hand. "This is the drawing I asked the engineering department for. In order to prevent the villagers from making trouble again, do you think this will work? We are here." A perimeter wall will be built, entry and exit will be based on work permits, and it will be completed within these 15 days."
Qiao Xinwei took the drawing and looked at it. The place Gu Rongchen pointed to happened to be the place where the wall was planned to be built. She hesitated: "But if they really want to make trouble, can the wall stop it? I think we still have to fundamentally build a wall." To solve it, why not find a peacemaker to talk to them?"
Gu Rongchen shook his head, "We have approached the village chief, secretary, and even lawyers before, but to no avail. They only want money, and they ask for tens of millions. They are not willing to lower the price at all. Mr. Shen said that we must not condone this kind of behavior." Things happen.”
"Yes, that's true, but this land is their former home after all, and with the current land and house prices, their compensation five years ago was indeed too low."
"What, what you mean by this is that you plan to make up for the compensation?"
"I don't have the right. I just suggest that, you see, their purpose is to ask for money. See if I can convince them to give in. That's pretty much it."
Gu Rongchen shook his head in denial, "They are just a bunch of scoundrels. You see why the other villagers didn't come to make trouble, but it was them. They were originally the gangsters in the village. They were lazy and idle. They sold the houses they were assigned and squandered all their money. After all, they want to blackmail us. This is their purpose. People like them will not be satisfied no matter how much money is given to them. They spend as much as they have. Could it be that in another five or ten years, prices will rise? , if they come to blackmail again, we will pay them back?"
Gu Rongchen held his neck and said angrily: "Evil forces like this will definitely fight to the end. I can't suffer so many injuries in vain."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Gu, please don't get excited. You are right. I didn't think it through properly. Then I might as well do as you said and try building a wall first."
Gu Rongchen nodded, turned to the last page of the document, pointed to the most ferocious "mob" that day and said: "Look, this man named Nie Shaohua has a criminal record. He escaped in a car accident five years ago, causing injuries to both legs of the victim." He was disabled and was imprisoned for three years. Within a few months after he was released from prison, he robbed the neighbor's old lady of her money and injured her grandson. He was in prison for another year and now he is targeting us after he came out, just to extort money."
Qiao Xinwei was really frightened when she heard that, especially as the bad robbery and murder cases had been reported frequently in the news in recent days, which made her even more chilly. But Gu Rongchen's words made her notice something. Five years ago, Nie Shaohua crashed into a car with his car. She hurt someone, and the injured person's legs were disabled. She was more sensitive to the word "disabled legs." It was also five years ago, so it couldn't be such a coincidence.
She silently wrote down the name "Nie Shaohua".
"Why, do you sound scared? Let's see if you dare to go to the construction site alone in the future."
Qiao Xinwei smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, then just do as you say. I hope it works, and I hope no one will get hurt because of them. So many people have put their efforts into this project, so there must be no impact. "
After the deal was settled, Gu Rongchen made an "ok" gesture and said, "Okay, since you agree, then I'll contact Engineer Zhao."
"Hey, Mr. Gu," Qiao Xinwei stopped him, "You work overtime at night?"
Gu Rongchen nodded naturally.
"Hahaha, you're injured, so don't work overtime." If I go to date you and work overtime, it seems like I'm very unprofessional.
"I'm fine. I'm alone at home, so I might as well work."
"...Then I'll work overtime too." Oh no, it's rare to go out for a meal. It's my big meal. Say no, hurry up and say no.
"No, it's useless for you to stay, not to mention you don't understand construction matters. I'll just have a meeting with Engineer Zhao to discuss it."
Qiao Xinwei's eyes lit up, "Haha, thank you."
Gu Rongchen stood up, held his neck and walked while sighing, "Oh, it's better to be alone and focus on work."
A colleague next to me joked, "Mr. Gu, are you looking for a girlfriend? All single young women in our office have signed up. It's up to you to choose."
How could such a thing happen without Xiao Mi? She was fiddling with the newly cut bangs on her forehead. It is said that they are the most popular air bangs nowadays, which are used to reduce age. "Oh, Mr. Gu, I am still single. I saw this in the company."
There are many young men. If your conditions are the most suitable for me, I can take you at any time if you tell me."
The colleagues laughed, and the whole office was lively. Gu Rongchen put his hands together and bowed, "Please Goddess Xiao Mi, please let me go."
Qiao Xinwei couldn't help laughing. She had almost forgotten that she and Jiang Hao always thought he was Xu Risheng. It was really difficult to compare these two completely different people. Xu Risheng was born in August
She was kidnapped at that time, and in August, Gu Rongchen was hit on the chest with a hoe by Nie Shaohua and others, causing internal bleeding and staying in the hospital for a month.
It's impossible for this person to have the ability to clone himself.
Qiao Xinwei sighed, forget it, it's not her turn to worry about things that even Jiang Hao can't explain, she should just think about what to eat for dinner.
After work, she was waiting in the hall downstairs. Everyone put on down jackets and hats today. The winter in the capital was cold and dry. There were heaters indoors, but it was so cold outside that it could freeze people's ears off. It was absolutely not possible.
exaggerate.
Jiang Hao's car stopped in front of the company. When he saw Qiao Xinwei staring blankly at the window, he honked the horn.
Qiao Xinwei smiled slightly, pulled her bag, and walked out.
It's so cold outside. The howling north wind is so strong and strong that it can almost knock people down. There seem to be a few small snowflakes mixed in the strong wind, which is the auspicious snow this year.
Jiang Hao got out of the car, holding a cotton coat in his hand. When Qiao Xinwei came closer, he quickly put the coat on her. He half-hugged her and got into the car, saying: "Honk to remind you that I'm here."
, I’m not asking you to come out, come in quickly, don’t freeze.”
The heater was on in the car, and in just a moment, a layer of mist formed on the windshield. Qiao Xinwei hugged her coat, gasped with her hands, and smiled: "Hubby, you can wear it."
Isn’t it so cold? Don’t tell me this is one of your special trainings.”
Jiang Hao got into the car and fastened her seat belt first, "Well, it's not like she has to stand on horseback for an hour wearing a vest in the snowy mountain training camp."
"Is it so awesome? Did your ears freeze off?" She had seen the Snowy Mountains last year, but they were several times colder than the capital city.
Jiang Hao said proudly: "Isn't this great? Do you want to experience ice sledding again?"
Qiao Xinwei quickly shook her head, "No, I will never go to that ghost place again, it's too cold."
Jiang Hao pinched her nose and said, "I know you, look at your potential... Let's go, do you want to eat anything good?"
