When Sun Xiaojie faced my continuous questioning, she did not get angry. She still said to me patiently: "I thought it was a trivial matter at the time. I can just deal with it."
"Then what? Is it solved now?"
"The other party wants me to pay liquidated damages."
"How many?"
"Fortunately, there weren't many signatures at that time. Now if we triple it, it's only over two million."
I laughed again, shook my head with a smile and said: "Sun Xiaojie, Sun Xiaojie, you are really a nouveau riche now! More than two million is not much. Do you know that this money is enough for an ordinary family to struggle for a lifetime."
Sun Xiaojie curled his lips and said helplessly: "Then what can I do?"
I gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure? What if Jiang Feng lied to you on purpose?"
Sun Xiaojie then took out a torn contract from his bag, threw it on my desk, and said, "Read it for yourself."
I picked it up and looked at it carefully, and confirmed that what she said was true. There was indeed such a contract, and the signing date was indeed two years ago.
Then I asked her: "Then why did you go to the hotel to talk in the middle of the night?"
"I don't know, Jiang Feng just took me to the place where Party A was selecting."
"Then when did you come out?" After asking this question, I realized that I was taking too much care.
Sun Xiaojie gave a bitter smile and said: "It's almost twelve o'clock. Didn't I tell Chen Feng that you care about me so much? Do you like me?"
I immediately glanced at her, and then said in a lighter tone: "I'm worried about you, afraid that you will be tricked by Jiang Feng."
"Don't worry, if it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have met him."
I nodded and said, "I understand. I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."
"I see you look so worried, tell me if you like me."
"What a shame! I'm afraid Jiang Feng deceived you and you helped him count the money."
"Then you can rest assured, sister, I'm not stupid."
I nodded and said nothing more, and I didn't have much energy to speak anymore.
Sun Xiaojie seemed to notice my state. She squinted her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you? It feels like you haven't slept well."
"Maybe, it's nothing." As I said that, I took another sip of boiled water.
Sun Xiao said to me again: "You still have to pay attention to rest. You are the soul of the company now. If you fall, it will be over!"
"I know, I'm in good health."
"Well, I won't tell you more. I have a flight at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost eleven o'clock now. I have to go to the airport."
"So urgent?"
"I can't help it. I only have one day off, and there is a performance tonight."
I nodded and said, "Okay, you should also take care of yourself."
After Sun Xiaojie left, I continued to devote myself to work, but when I thought something was wrong, could it be that she came back because of this contract?
But why didn't she tell me such an important thing?
I have been dealing with her for such a long time, and I know her relatively well. She is a very fragile person, and she doesn't know how to deal with some things.
But now that the contract is such a big matter, logically speaking, she shouldn't hide it from me, right?
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. Maybe I was overthinking it.
That afternoon, I finally couldn't hold on any longer. The coughing and difficulty breathing made it impossible for me to work normally.
I finally went to the hospital. I have always thought that my health was very good for so long. At least I kept running every day except when it rained.
I never thought that I would still be infected. I am getting older and my health is getting worse.
I went to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed me with common influenza. In order to get better faster, I was given fluids.
During this process, I received a WeChat call from Huang Li. She said to me: "Chen Feng, are you okay tonight?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. I found a professional swimming pool. We agreed that you would teach me how to swim."
"tonight?"
"Well, don't tell me no."
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not possible. I'm in the hospital now for infusion."
"Ah! What's wrong with you?"
"A little cold."
"You are alone in the hospital."
"if not?"
"Which hospital, let me take pleasure in its misfortune."
I was speechless and said: "We are no longer friends. Are you so gloating about misfortune?"
"Haha, why don't you tell me?"
"You do not have to work?"
"It's not very busy in the afternoon, and we're doing that promotion right now, so there's not much business yet."
"Okay, come on then."
I told her the address of the hospital, and I also wanted to have someone beside me to talk to, so that I wouldn't seem so lonely.
Because the people next to me who were doing the infusion all had people with them, but I was all alone.
About thirty minutes later, Huang Li finally arrived at the hospital. I had almost lost half my weight.
She came to the chair next to me and sat down. She first looked up at the hanging bottle hanging on my head, then looked at me again, curled her lips and said, "What a tragedy! It's such a misfortune. Why did you catch a cold when you are fine?"
"
"Isn't it normal for people to get sick after eating whole grains?"
"Is it so difficult to admit that your health is failing?"
"It's just a small cold, why would you hit me like this?"
Huang Li laughed, then said softly: "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. How do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
Listening to her suddenly gentle tone, I was still not used to it, so I was stunned for a while before replying: "It's much better now."
"You! You should pay more attention to yourself. Now is the season change. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is easy to catch a cold."
Listening to Huang Li's greetings, I suddenly felt the tip of my nose was a little sore, and I didn't know why I felt this way.
It's probably been a long time since anyone cared about me so much. Even An Lan had never cared so much about me.
So at that moment, I actually felt like crying.
But I held it back. I forced a smile and said to her, "Are you my mother? Why are you so verbose like my mother?"
"Then, my dear son, call Mom and come and listen."
"screw you!"
Huang Li stayed with me in the hospital until the infusion was completed. My energy improved a lot and my mood improved a lot.
Before leaving, the doctor also prescribed some cold medicine for me and told me to take it on time.
When Huang Li left the hospital, she asked me what I wanted to eat tonight. She said that she had now learned a dish called braised lion head.
So we discussed and asked her to go to my place and help me do it.
However, just as we were about to leave the hospital, I saw Liu Qinglan at the registration window.
I didn't know what was wrong with her, but I went over to say hello to her.
But when I walked in, I overheard the doctor she registered with say: "Yes, I'm a gynecologist."
I was stunned for a moment, then called her from behind: "Liu Qinglan, are you sick?"
Liu Qinglan turned around and looked at me in surprise. After a pause, she said, "Mr. Chen, why are you in the hospital too?"
"I had a cold and got some fluids. What's wrong with you?" I asked, looking at the consultation sheet handed to her by the registered doctor.
