Jiang Hao persuaded the two elders to go back after a long time of persuasion.
Xi Bao was sweating all over and his underwear was soaked through. Qiao Xinwei changed him into a hospital gown. The hospital gown at the Children's Hospital was made of fine cotton and linen, a very soft and sweat-absorbent material.
Jiang Hao stayed by the bed, feeding Xi Bao some warm water from time to time. Teacher Zhang from the kindergarten called to inquire, so he hid outside the ward to talk on the phone.
The sound of water came from the bathroom. Qiao Xinwei was washing Xi Bao's underwear, washing them and drying them next to the radiator. They can be dried tomorrow morning.
One came out of the bathroom and the other came in from the door. The two happened to bump into each other and their eyes met. Qiao Xinwei quickly looked away, intentionally or unintentionally, and walked quickly to dry her clothes.
Jiang Hao felt that she was a little angry, but it was hard for her to tell her because her parents were here just now. There was no one else in the ward now, so he thought he should explain to her.
"Xinwei, I'm sorry, I only shut down my phone when I have something to do."
Qiao Xinwei didn't respond or turn around, she just spread her clothes to dry.
"You must be in a panic, otherwise you wouldn't have contacted my parents. I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that Xi Bao would suddenly develop a high fever. There were no signs before I sent him to kindergarten."
Qiao Xinwei stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at him and asked, "You will only shut down your phone if something happens. Can't you tell me in advance if something happens? I didn't expect that Xi Bao would suddenly have a high fever. I didn't expect that you would."
Turn off the machine for half a day!"
She said it a bit harshly. She looked at the child worriedly. Fortunately, she didn't wake the child up. She lowered her voice and vented her inner grievances and lingering fears. "I used to forget everything when I went to work.
Cell phones are not allowed, because Xi Bao may be naughty or get sick or have a fever, and the teacher needs to contact me as soon as possible. I can’t even take care of him personally. At least I can’t cut off the contact. If anything happens to Xi Bao, at least the teacher can be the first to contact him.
Let me know when you contact me."
"Do you think every kindergarten teacher is as responsible as Teacher Zhang? Do you think every child has a father as famous as you, Jiang Hao, so that the child will be taken seriously? What's the use of saying you're sorry? You don't care at all.
I need to apologize. On the contrary, I have to thank you, thank you parents, for allowing my son to be so respected by others and to enjoy better conditions and treatment than others. Really, don't apologize to me. I'm sorry.
Sorry, I want to thank you."
Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment at first, and then asked: "Did my mother say something to you?" He thought it must be his mother who said something unpleasant, so he comforted, "Xinwei, don't be like this, my mother said that
Don’t you know what she is? You don’t need to pay attention to her, and I won’t pay attention to her either.”
Qiao Xinwei was furious, "You are her biological son. She won't hate you even if you stab her with a knife. Of course you can say ignore her and ignore her, but I am not. The more I ignore her, the more I ignore her."
She gets worse and worse. She is your mother, don’t you know who she is?"
"..." Jiang Hao was speechless. He never knew that Xinwei could be so aggressive.
In the past, if two people had a quarrel, it would be because one was holding back to the limit, and the other was full of heartache and guilt. A few quarrels would often end with a hug. But now when two people quarrel, one is unreasonable and the other is just.
Taking things lightly and avoiding the important ones is mostly due to a helpless mood, and there is no conclusion in the end of the quarrel.
After three years of separation, how much a person can change in three years can only be known by actually getting along with each other. Jiang Hao is more indifferent than before who is right and who is wrong, Xinwei apologizes when he is angry, and Qiao Xinwei is more caring than before.
Sensitivity means more sincerity. You have to know where you went wrong in this matter, so that you can avoid it happening again next time, instead of apologizing and apologizing all at once.
If it weren't for Xi Bao's gentle murmur, the two of them would probably still be in a stalemate, "Mom, Dad, what are you doing?" Xi Bao looked at them with his eyes open, with some confusion and fatigue in his clear eyes.
Jiang Hao was still relatively tactful and could adjust his emotions and expressions quickly. He walked to the bed, leaned down and said to his son gently: "Nothing has been done. Xi Bao is sick, and my mother is worried to death."
"Mom, mom, don't worry, I'll be fine soon."
No matter how many grievances there were, no matter how angry they were, everything stopped when they arrived at Xi Bao. Qiao Xinwei smiled at Xi Bao and said, "It's okay if you don't worry about me. Then drink the porridge and then go to sleep."
Xi Bao reluctantly opened his mouth and said, "Mom, I have a sore throat. Look, there is a cactus inside. Look, look."
Jiang Hao laughed and looked into Xi Bao's mouth cooperatively, "Oh, there really is a big cactus, but Xi Bao, the cactus will also be hungry. If you don't feed it, it will
If I eat your flesh, it will hurt even more."
Xi Bao's eyes widened, "Really?" He didn't really believe what his father said. "Dad, can prickly pear eat human flesh? Cactus is not a cannibal. This is unscientific."
Jiang Hao said jokingly: "You still know about science? Haha, the most scientific thing is to listen to your mother, do you understand?"
Qiao Xinwei unscrewed the thermos and poured out a bowl of chicken soup and porridge. This credit was not hers and she didn't dare to claim it. "Xi Bao, your grandma made this specially for you. She is old and has to rush here and there."
It's also very hard, shouldn't you
Eat more?”
Xi Bao nodded and said, "Oh, okay, I'll only eat one bowl."
Seeing her son nodding in agreement even though he was reluctant, Qiao Xinwei was extremely pleased and said, "Okay."
Jiang Hao felt silently in his heart for a while, Xinwei, as long as you are by my side, as long as our family is together in peace, nothing else matters.
——
Qiao Xinwei took three days' leave, and the reason was very clear: her son was sick and she had to take care of her son. However, outsiders would not understand the reason why she had to take leave, especially those colleagues who did not have children.
"My son took three days off when he was sick. Last month, I was hospitalized for appendicitis and only took three days off. Qiao Xinwei is exaggerating. Who does she think she is?"
"That's it, if you're so worried about your son, don't go to work. You're married to a good husband, there's no mortgage and no pressure. Why do you go to work when you have to work as a teenager at home?!"
"Oh, who knows what she said, maybe she was just showing off."
"As far as I know, Li Qianwei did not approve the leave at all, it was Minister Zhu who did."
"Are you sure?"
"When I asked Minister Zhu to sign it, I saw the leave request form on his desk. Li Qianwei wrote 'no'. Then who else dared to grant leave, only Minister Zhu."
Similar rumors were spread among colleagues, and Qiao Xinwei heard some, but she really didn't have time to pay attention to it. She had to do all the work accumulated for three days by herself.
"Qiao Xinwei, come to my office." Li Qianwei, who had just returned from a meeting outside, said, "Everyone else, there will be a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes."
Although her subordinates have a very poor opinion of Li Qianwei, Li Qianwei is still the overall leader of the planning department. In terms of leadership, no one is dissatisfied with her. This is her ability.
Qiao Xinwei closed the door, and Li Qianwei said straight to the point: "You took a long enough leave. Is there no one at home to take care of you or something?"
"My husband is also at home, but I'm not worried."
"You're being honest, have you dealt with everything now?"
"Um."
Li Qianwei handed her a document, "This is the result of the meeting I just had with Minister Zhu. I will also talk about it in the meeting later, but for you, I have to assign you tasks in advance. At the signing ceremony on Saturday, you will not only be responsible for signing in
, but also responsible for keeping an eye on the field. Do you understand what it means to keep an eye on the field?"
Qiao Xinwei nodded, but then shook her head, "This time the president signed the contract in person. Vice President Ge shouldn't sabotage it in front of the president, right?"
"Of course he won't. I want you to keep an eye on this person." Li Qianwei opened the last page of the folder and pointed to the person in the photo. The person was in a suit, wearing sunglasses, and had a job in Shengshi on his chest.
He is an employee of Shengshi. "His name is Cao Zekai, and he is Ge Jun's assistant." Li Qianwei warned again, "He was also an employee of Yuanda before. Do you have any impression?"
Qiao Xinwei looked at the photo carefully. She had no impression of this person, "There are so many employees at Yuanda, and I can't possibly know everyone."
"It doesn't matter whether we know him or not, please help me keep an eye on this person and tell me in time if there is any situation. I will not allow this signing ceremony to change because of anyone or anything."
Looking at Li Qianwei's serious expression, Qiao Xinwei nodded solemnly, not daring to be perfunctory. Based on a woman's intuition, she felt that Li Qianwei's special protection for Minister Zhu had exceeded the level of loyalty between employees and their bosses.
Maybe it was because of the three-day leave, but Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Qiao Xinwei arrived at the hotel where she signed the contract with the bus. The hotel had already hung banners, and many colleagues from the planning department had checked into the hotel yesterday to prepare.
The signing ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m., and staff sign-in is at 9 a.m., so Qiao Xinwei doesn't have much time.
Qiao Xinwei hung up her work badge and walked into the venue. The venue was very large and grand. The hotel waiters had already started placing tea cups and snacks. The staff were making final adjustments to the audio, microphone and other equipment. Reporters had already arrived and were looking for suitable ones in advance.
Everyone was preparing their seats in an orderly manner.
Qiao Xinwei walked around and found nothing strange. Suddenly, a man walked out from behind the background wall of the rostrum. Cao Zekai, Qiao Xinwei recognized him with just one glance. His standard Chinese character face was easy to recognize, especially
Those sunglasses are very eye-catching.
She saw him sneaking out from behind the background wall, then looked around to see if there was no one, and then walked away.
At that time, Qiao Xinwei's blood started to surge. After confirming that Cao Zekai had walked out of the venue, she quickly ran to the background wall to see what was going on. However, it was pitch black behind, so Qiao Xinwei closed her eyes. After her eyes adapted to the darkness, she
I only saw some steel poles reinforcing the background wall in the background, and nothing else.
