After sending Su Qing to her residence, Xu Chunliang returned to Qinghuai Xiaozhu and unexpectedly found that Qiao Rulong had not left.
Seeing Xu Chunliang coming back, Qiao Rulong got out of the car and said with a smile: "Chunliang, are you back so soon?"
Xu Chunliang said it was a blessing that I came back so quickly, otherwise you wouldn't know what to think, so he invited: "Brother Long, go sit in the room for a while?"
Qiao Rulong nodded and followed Xu Chunliang to his room.
Xu Chunliang asked him to sit down and went to boil water to make tea.
Qiao Rulong asked him to stop working and sit down for a while before leaving.
Xu Chunliang said: "I'm here now, but I have to have a cup of tea before I leave, otherwise Xiaoxue will blame me for not knowing etiquette."
Qiao Rulong was actually not in a hurry to leave. He visited the environment where Xu Chunliang currently lives and praised: "Your standards are not low now."
Xu Chunliang came and sat down opposite him: "It's not like you don't know my level. The hotel owner is my friend, and he provided this room to me for free."
Qiao Rulong nodded and said, "It's convenient to live alone."
Xu Chunliang heard what he meant and said with a smile: "Brother Long, what a coincidence today. I didn't expect to meet you."
Qiao Rulong said: "I invited someone to dinner, and Qi Shuang introduced me to this hotel, so I came over to try it. I didn't expect you to be here. Didn't you disturb us today?"
Xu Chunliang said: "No, we are all friends." When the water boiled, he stood up and poured tea.
Qiao Rulong picked up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the TV. An exclusive interview with Dongzhou Cultural Tourism was playing on the TV.
When Xu Chunliang heard Su Qing's voice, he couldn't help but glance at the TV screen, wondering why it was so small. This program would have been broadcast sooner or later, but it was broadcast now, and Qiao Rulong just happened to see it.
Xu Chunliang didn't bother to explain, so he placed the brewed tea in front of Qiao Rulong: "Drink tea."
Qiao Rulong made a pun and said: "It's quite photogenic."
Xu Chunliang said: "This is the first time I've been on TV. Isn't this a rush to get on the shelves? For the sake of Dongzhou Cultural Tourism, I can only bite the bullet and do it."
Qiao Rulong said: "I heard from Xiaoxue that it was you who hired someone to stir up the popularity of Dongzhou Barbecue?"
Xu Chunliang said: "You can't say that. The main reason is that Dongzhou already has this foundation, thanks to the support of the city."
Qiao Rulong took a sip of tea, slowly placed the tea cup on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "I found that you have made some progress, you can speak face-saving words, and you know how to hide everything you do."
Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you Brother Long for your words and deeds."
Qiao Rulong glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "I can't teach you."
Xu Chunliang also laughed twice, hearing that what Qiao Rulong said now was not good. He would not show weakness. Even if you are my future brother-in-law, you cannot speak condescendingly to me.
Qiao Rulong also realized that Xu Chunliang was beginning to have a rebound, and changed the topic: "I heard about you."
Xu Chunliang said: "Which thing?"
Qiao Rulong said: "Hedong's matter, Chunliang, a company as big as Hedong is involved in so many things, it would be unwise for you to become an enemy of them."
Xu Chunliang said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I was just passing by."
Qiao Rulong glanced at him: "Draw your sword to help when the road is rough?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said nothing. Isn't Qiao Rulong the one Qi Shuang hired to be the peacemaker?
Qiao Rulong said: "Let them resolve the conflict between Lao Xing and He Dong on their own. There is no need for you to get involved. Usually in this case, there will be a draw at the end, and someone will always come out to take responsibility. If you get too involved, maybe
You are the one who takes responsibility in the end."
Xu Chunliang secretly thought that Qiao Rulong probably didn't mean to make peace, but he wanted to stay out of the matter, probably because his relationship with Mei Ruxue made it easy for people to think too much.
It seems that Hedong's background is stronger than he expected. Since Qiao Rulong is willing to come forward to persuade him, maybe someone from the Xing family will also persuade him. As Qiao Rulong said, in the end a few people will be responsible for taking responsibility. Hedong's Pan family
Father and son will not be greatly affected.
Xu Chunliang said: "I didn't want to get involved."
Qiao Rulong said: "That would be the best. By the way, Secretary Zhou invited me to visit Dongzhou. Do you think I should go or not?"
Xu Chunliang secretly sighed that Qiao Rulong was too good at beating around the bush. Secretary Zhou invited you to do this shit to me? If I told you not to go, you wouldn't go? Can I still influence you?
"Brother Long, Dongzhou is now in a period of rapid development. If Huatou intervenes at an early stage, the returns will be good."
Qiao Rulong smiled and shook his head: "It's not just about investing in new projects. Forget it, I won't delay your rest."
He stood up to say goodbye, and Xu Chunliang went out to see him off.
Qiao Rulong said: "Don't go out. It's windy outside and you can easily catch cold."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "I am strong enough to withstand it."
Qiao Rulong said: "People think this way when they are young, but diseases don't care whether you are young or old, or whether you are a boy or a girl. You are a good person, and it is always right to be careful in your life."
Xu Chunliang stood at the door and looked at Qiao Rulong's figure disappearing into the night. Qiao Rulong's words before leaving already sounded threatening. If he was standing up for his sister, it is completely understandable, but if there are other reasons, then it is necessary
Think about it carefully.
Xu Chunliang did not think that Qiao Rulong and He Dong had too deep interests involved. With Qiao Rulong's background, it was impossible for him to think highly of a Jianghu man like Pan Tianhua. He hoped that he would speak for He Dong today just because of his friendship with Qi Shuang.
Qiao Rulong got into the car. Qi Shuang waited for him in the car and said softly: "How long did it take?"
Qiao Rulong said: "When will it be your turn to take care of my affairs?"
Qi Shuang pursed his lips, Qiao Rulong stretched out his right hand, Qi Shuang took out a cigarette and handed it to Qiao Rulong.
Qiao Rulong lit the cigarette for him, took a puff, looked at the night scene outside the window, and said indifferently: "In the future, you should stay less involved in the Pan family's affairs."
Qi Shuang said: "After all, he..."
Qiao Rulong's sharp eyes stopped her from continuing. He took another puff of smoke and said, "Xiao Wu, park the car by the river ahead."
Qiao Rulong got out of the car, and Qi Shuang immediately followed, making a gesture to let Xiao Wu drive away first.
Qiao Rulong walked alone along the riverside. Qi Shuang did not dare to catch up and followed him silently about five meters behind him.
Qiao Rulong finished smoking the cigarette, finally stopped, looked at the brightly lit dock opposite, and whispered: "Sooner or later they will bring you trouble."
Qi Shuang said: "They are not looking for me, but I want to help him."
Qiao Rulong said: "You don't need to help him. Pan Tianhua has a lot of cards in his hand. Playing any one of them can resolve the crisis at hand."
Qi Shuang said: "This time it really has nothing to do with him. The reason is..."
Qiao Rulong waved his hand impatiently: "You leave Hedong, I will arrange for you to work in another company. If Lao Pan continues to play like this, he will kill himself one day."
Qi Shuang said: "Actually, he also wants to transform, and I want to help him."
"What are you doing to help him? It's not like you don't know who he is. He thinks he has some dirty information about others and coerces and induces people to do things for him. What era is it now? He is out of date. Just because he succeeds once does not mean he can always do it.
If he succeeds, if unfortunately he offends someone he shouldn't offend, haha."
Qiao Rulong didn't finish his words, but Qi Shuang fully understood what he meant.
Qi Shuang suddenly rushed up and hugged Qiao Rulong's body tightly: "Rulong, they are my relatives!"
Qiao Rulong didn't react at all: "You can choose."
Qi Shuang's hand slowly let go of his.
Qiao Rulong turned around and looked at Qi Shuang, with no expression on his face: "Before it's too late."
Qi Shuang shook his head: "Why are you doing this to me? I'm not good enough to you? I'm not humble enough?"
Qiao Rulong stretched out his hand and touched her face. His big hand slid down to her snow-white neck. Suddenly, his hand pinched her neck hard. Qi Shuang's eyes widened, but there was no trace of anything in her eyes.
Instead of fear, he glowed with unprecedented excitement and happiness.
When she felt that she was about to suffocate, Qiao Rulong let go of her, held her in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "I'm afraid they will hurt you."
Qi Shuang hugged him tightly: "Rulong..." Just a word of concern has moved her. She is not a fool. She understands that what he is really worried about is his family honor, but as long as he cares a little about himself, it will be enough.
enough.
Qiao Rulong hugged her, but looked at the bright moon in the sky: "Hedong will be fine. Lao Pan has found someone, and this matter will be trivial. You don't need to be nervous about him, he will not be lucky forever."
Qi Shuang whispered: "I'll advise him."
Qiao Rulong said: "It's how you are born, you can't change it." He grabbed Qi Shuang's hair, raised her head in pain, and opened her lips at the same time.
Qi Shuang looked at the man in front of her and realized that she could never leave him in this life.
When their lips were about to get close, Qiao Rulong suddenly let go of her, covering his chest with some pain, and felt some pain in his heart.
Qi Shuang asked with concern: "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Qiao Rulong waved his hand to express that he was fine.
Qi Shuang said: "Rulong, when was your last physical examination?"
"Two months ago, it was fine. I have always been in good health." Qiao Rulong tried to take a breath and felt that the pain in his chest area had eased. The reason why he went for a physical examination two months ago was because of Ye Qingya's request. They got married.
After many years, I still haven't gotten pregnant, and my family members on both sides have begun to urge me.
Qiao Rulong believed that there was nothing wrong with him, and Qi Shuang was able to prove it. After the hospital examination, he also proved his suspicion that Ye Qingya had polycystic ovaries, which was the reason why they were infertile for many years after their marriage.
Qiao Rulong did not blame Ye Qingya for this matter. For Ye Qingya's sake, he suggested that the two families should be kept secret for the time being.
Qi Shuang said: "Rulong, it's better to check it out. Don't take it seriously."
Qiao Rulong said: "Okay, I promise you, I will go to the hospital for examination immediately after returning from Dongzhou."
