He saw a familiar figure just now, but after so many years, Nie Shaohua was not sure if that person was Jiang Hao. When he saw it now, he was so scared that he cried, "How? How could it be you?"
Jiang Hao grabbed the iron rod with one hand and him with the other. The weight of the two of them was entirely on his arms. Nie Shaohua was still shaking. He really didn't want to chat with him here, "Nie Shaohua, if you want to die, I will let you go."
Well, if you don’t want to die, don’t move.”
When Nie Shaohua heard this, he trembled and said, "I, I, I don't want to die, but it's not me who is moving. I, I, I, I didn't do anything."
Jiang Hao sighed softly. Human beings' survival instinct is sometimes terrible, and struggling to the death will only make death come faster.
"Hold the scaffolding with your hands."
Nie Shaohua tried twice, but he couldn't reach it. He was shaking, and he was so scared, "I, I, I can't catch it."
Jiang Hao had no choice but to look up, "Mr. Gu, have the rescue team come up?" This speed is really too slow.
Gu Rongchen looked at the elevator and said, "It's coming, it's coming, hold on."
During this whole process, Qiao Xinwei was covering her heart and watching with empty eyes. She didn't dare to express her anger, and her whole body was weak. She only came back to her senses when she saw Jiang Hao and Nie Shaohua being rescued by the police.
Nie Shaohua collapsed to the ground. In the severe cold season, his whole body was soaked and he broke out in a frightened sweat.
Jiang Hao's gloves became dirty and black from climbing the scaffolding. He took them off and threw them aside, saying, "You are really smart. You are so cowardly that you jumped off the building. Who did you learn from that?"
Nie Shaohua sat up and lowered his head. In front of so many people, he covered his face and did not dare to see anyone.
Five years ago, Jiang Hao almost died under his wheel, but today, five years later, his life was saved by Jiang Hao.
A policeman came up and asked: "Chief Jiang, do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"I don't need to. Take him for a checkup. First check if there are any problems with his brain, and then check if there are any problems with the urinary system. Urinary incontinence is a big deal."
Everyone laughed, and Nie Shaohua's face turned redder and redder.
Gu Rongchen patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I think you don't have to worry about him if he jumps from the building in the future. A coward cannot commit suicide."
Nie Shaohua was so disgraced that he was picked up by two policemen and taken away. He was extorting money and disturbing social order. It was inevitable that he would be detained for a few days.
Gu Rongchen really admired Jiang Hao. He couldn't stand straight even when he looked down. But Jiang Hao could still climb up with bare hands without any safety measures, without blushing or panting. I'm afraid not many people can do this.
.
"Jiang Hao," Qiao Xinwei rushed over and flew into his arms, "Are you okay? You scared me to death."
Jiang Hao touched her head and comforted her: "I told you it was a trivial matter. It's just that Nie Shaohua was so timid that he ran in the wrong direction. I really didn't expect it. I just treated it as a training exercise."
Nie Shaohua was taken away by the police. Before getting into the police car, he looked back at Jiang Hao. There was a secret that he had kept in his heart for five years about Jiang Hao. Today, he saved his life by repaying evil with kindness. So,
Is he going to tell him the truth about that year?
"Go in, what else are you looking at?" The policeman pushed, and Nie Shaohua got into the police car.
Calm returned to the construction site, and workers continued to work. Three buildings rose from the once desolate land. Soon, this place would become the largest and only business center in this suburb.
By then, people will only remember the glory of the present, and the dusty past will be slowly forgotten.
Jiang Hao and Qiao Xinwei returned to the company in Gu Rongchen's car. Gu Rongchen said jokingly while driving: "Chief Jiang, why do I always feel like you are sizing me up?"
Jiang Hao also responded amusingly, "My wife is so beautiful, what do I care about? Besides, I'm not interested in men, so don't have wishful thinking."
Gu Rongchen laughed, "Ha, I didn't expect Chief Jiang to be so joking. I get to know you again."
Jiang Hao tentatively said, "Oh? Really? I thought you knew me very well." When the red light stopped, Gu Rongchen looked back at him inexplicably. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, you just think I'm being cold again."
It’s a joke.”
Qiao Xinwei, who was silent, watched the two of them talking to each other and couldn't get a word in at all.
——
It was New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye. Before that, Jiang Hao had already rejected Lin Caiyin's invitation to have a New Year's Eve dinner together. He wanted to cook a New Year's Eve dinner for his beloved wife alone, just the two of them.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the company officially went on holiday. Everyone received good year-end bonuses and wished each other a Happy New Year.
"Honey, I'm off work? Well, today is early. I'll have a holiday after paying the money. Mr. Ruan knows that no one can stay any longer. You don't need to pick me up. I'll take a walk and I'll be home soon."
"
While she was on the phone, she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the crossroads. How could he be here at this point?
"Honey, I'm going to die? Well, wait for me. I'll be there soon. See you later."
She hurriedly put down the phone, walked a few steps to catch up, and shouted: "Brother, brother, why don't you go home? What are you doing wandering around here?"
Jing Shang was just wandering around, smoking a cigarette and pacing back and forth next to the flower bed. There were already several cigarette butts under his feet.
When he saw Qiao Xinwei coming over, he quickly put out the cigarette at hand. Looking at the cigarette butts on the ground, he felt embarrassed and kicked them into the grass.
Qiao Xinwei walked in. She hadn't seen Jing Shang for a long time. She looked at him. He was thinner, darker, his hair was shorter, and his eye circles were heavier. "Brother, what's wrong with you? You're not waiting.
Let me."
Jing Shang denied, "No??" After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice, "Jia Jia is picking out clothes in there, and I'm so suffocated in there that I can get some air."
"Where is Jiajia?"
Jing Shang pointed to a bridal shop next to her with embarrassment, and said in a complaining tone, "When can't I come? I have to rush to New Year's Eve and ask my mother to work alone at home. I still want to go back and help."
"Brother, this is your fault. The bride is trying on a wedding dress inside. It's better for you to smoke here. At any rate, you can accompany her. Give me your opinion on whether it looks good or not. When you come out like this, Jia Jia will be alone.
Where can she put her face inside?"
Thinking back to her own time, Jiang Hao left with just one phone call, leaving her alone in the bridal shop, staring at the waiter like a fool. It was not a pleasant feeling.
"When is the wedding date?"
"Mom didn't tell you?"
"Last time, my mother said that you two should settle down, but the time has not been determined yet."
Jing Shang nodded, "That's right. I haven't decided on the time yet, so I'm in a hurry to take wedding photos. Can't we take them after we've decided?!"
Jing Shang's face was full of reluctance, which made Qiao Xinwei anxious, "Brother, you can't get the wedding photos immediately after taking them. I tell you, it's too late for you. You have to hurry up and take them. Still.
Yes, tell me when you set a time, Jiang Hao can take care of the hotel affairs, I have told him, and he said it is no problem."
"Weiying is here. We don't need his help. The hotel can handle it whenever it is available."
"Oh, we have to wait until the end of the Year of the Monkey. Brother, can you serve some snacks? If Jiajia sees you like this, she will be so sad. Can you care about her feelings?"
Jing Shang's face was full of grievances, "Then when did she care about my feelings?!" He stroked his hair in annoyance, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, then I'll go in and you go home?"
"Well, go home, it's a holiday."
"When are you going back to your parents' house for the first time?"
"Second day of junior high school."
"Okay, we'll wait for you. Let's go. Be careful on the road."
"kindness."
Seeing Jing Shang's listless look, Qiao Xinwei felt uneasy. Jing Shang was not like this before. He was very active in everything he did. Why is it that even the wedding has become so indifferent now? And listening to his words, it seems that he has
Like many frustrations, does getting married really give him such a headache?
All these worries were forgotten as soon as she got home and smelled the smell of chive dumplings.
"I came back just in time. The dumplings are just cooked. Come and try them."
Qiao Xinwei didn't bother to take off her clothes. As soon as she put on her snow boots, she rushed to the kitchen. Wow, Jiang Hao looked like a chef in a five-star hotel. The steamer, stew pot, wok and rice cooker were all emitting aroma.
, on the top layer of the steamer, the bright red hairy crabs swing their tongs, as if to say: "I'm done, I'm done."
Qiao Xinwei swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth anxiously to take it.
"Be careful, it's very hot." Jiang Hao held the dumplings in his hands and refused to give them to him. "Let them cool down first before eating."
"Aww", Qiao Xinwei couldn't wait to open her mouth and bite it, it was hot and the taste was great, "Wow, it's so hot, so hot, so hot, it's so delicious."
Jiang Hao laughed at her, "Why do you look like you've never eaten dumplings? Don't I freeze some for you every time before I go on a business trip?"
"Oh, this is fresh, and of course it tastes better. Serve it out quickly, I'm hungry."
Jiang Hao said calmly: "I just ordered five to try the taste. What should I do if I eat too much?"
"Why don't you believe in my strength? I haven't eaten for three days just because of this meal."
"Really, I don't know who ate that big bowl of braised noodles yesterday."
"Hehehe, who told you to cook such delicious food? Husband, if you don't become a soldier but become a chef, you will definitely be able to find a bright future. Men who can cook well these days are in high demand."
At that time, none of them thought that her unintentional words would lead to another career for him.
Before it gets dark, their New Year's Eve dinner begins, including hairy crabs, boiled shrimps, dumplings, red wine, and a large hot pot.
The TV was on in the living room, the hot pot was steaming, and all the ingredients were cooked in it. It was extremely delicious.
The first time they dated, they also had hot pot. Speaking of that time, Jiang Hao laughed so hard, "Guess what I was thinking when I was waiting for you outside the bathroom."
"What?"
"I was wondering if you would be dissatisfied with me, and then took the opportunity to go to the toilet and sneaked away. Who knew a woman came out and told me that you were greeting your relatives inside? I was shocked at that time.
