The two went to the affiliated hospital and then to the orthopedics department, but they could not find Liu Qingquan's mother at all. As a last resort, they called Liu Qingquan again, but her phone had been turned off.
Now that they are here, they can't just go back. As a last resort, Ouyang Mingkai and Zhao Ruijie had to search from ward to ward, but there was still no one there. Now Ouyang Mingkai felt clearer and clearer.
Ouyang Mingkai made a decision immediately: "Let's go to Assistant Liu's house and have a look."
Zhao Ruijie had no choice but to nod. Originally, she had promised a child in the courtyard to go back and celebrate his birthday today, but now she couldn't leave.
Fortunately, Ouyang Mingkai had been here before, so the road was familiar. However, it was almost eight o'clock when they arrived at Liu Qingquan's house, and Zhao Ruijie was a little anxious.
"Vice President, can I leave first?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Well, there's a kid's birthday today, and I promised to go back and help him celebrate his birthday."
Zhao Ruijie is not a pretentious person, and she has never felt that her status as an orphan is embarrassing, so she tells the truth.
"That's it, I'll see you off later." Ouyang Mingkai nodded.
However, when the two of them arrived at Liu Qingquan's house, no one answered the door after ringing the doorbell for a long time, so they had to leave. However, when the elevator door opened, Ouyang Mingkai's face dropped.
The elevator door opened, and a man and a woman in the elevator did not come out, but were kissing.
"Assistant Liu, it turns out your mother is so young." Ouyang Mingkai always had a serious expression, but that didn't mean he was rigid. Seeing Liu Qingquan in the elevator just proved one thing more.
Hearing Ouyang Mingkai's voice, Liu Qingquan suddenly let go of Liu Ye and said in surprise: "Vice...Vice President, why are you here?"
"I also want to know why I am here, Secretary Zhao, let's go, Liu Qingquan, you don't have to go back to the company."
Ouyang Mingkai's face turned grim. Liu Qingquan's betrayal of the company's interests was not as irritating to him as the deception at this time.
"Vice President, Vice President, no, my mother really..."
The elevator door on the other side opened, and Ouyang Mingkai and Zhao Ruijie entered the elevator. Liu Qingquan wanted to catch up and explain, but was grabbed by Liu Ye.
"What are you doing? Let go." Liu Qingquan said urgently.
Liu Ye looked at the closed elevator door, let go of his hand and said coolly: "You don't plan to be in Huatian anymore anyway, so why bother trying to please Ouyang Mingkai?"
"What do you know? Resigning and being insured by the company are completely different things. In this case, what kind of job can I find?"
Liu Qingquan was annoyed, threw away Liu Ye and pressed the elevator button hurriedly.
"Vice President, did you already know this?" After going downstairs, Zhao Ruijie asked for the first time a question that was not a secretary's duty.
"No, it's just that there was a call from the UK today... and Liu Qingquan took leave after returning from the UK. Only he knows many details. I originally wanted to go to the hospital to confirm, but I didn't expect this to be the result."
Ouyang Mingkai did not hide anything. First of all, it was a warning to Zhao Ruijie. After all, she had only been in the company for a short time and her understanding was not very deep. Secondly, the secretary was already dealing with all kinds of trivial matters, so there was no need to hide it. After arriving at the company tomorrow,
Liu Qingquan's matter still needs her to deal with.
Zhao Ruijie nodded, and while they were talking, they arrived at the parking place.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back."
"Would this delay the vice president too much?"
It is naturally faster to have a car, but at this point, it does not seem good to let your boss send you away hungry.
"No, besides, it's already time to get off work. You are working overtime, so I should send you off. Come on, get in the car."
When Zhao Ruijie heard what Ouyang Mingkai said, she wanted to get into the back seat of the car, but Ouyang Mingkai opened the passenger door for her. She opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
Before returning to China, Zhao Ruijie even made up for various unwritten rules and customs in the country. As for the co-pilot of the car, it is said that they are reserved for girlfriends and wives.
After asking for the address, the car started. While waiting for the traffic light, Ouyang Mingkai saw a cake shop on the roadside and asked, "Since it's my birthday, do you want to buy a birthday cake or a birthday gift?"
"Already prepared, but if the vice president wants to give the children cakes, that's okay too."
Zhao Ruijie looked at the cake order, thought of the cake she ordered, and then thought of her friends in the orphanage, and finally said.
"Okay." Ouyang Mingkai smiled. After the light turned green, he drove the car over, found a place to stop, and took Zhao Ruijie to the cake shop.
"Well, you see, if you have many children, if you don't have big ones, just buy a few more. I just saw a toy store next to it, so I might buy some more toys later."
Ouyang Mingkai asked the clerk if there were ready-made cakes in the store and then asked Zhao Ruijie again.
Zhao Ruijie nodded again, "I'm late today anyway, so the gift can be considered as compensation."
"There are so many boys and girls, we can't leave them out, everyone has a share." Except for his grandmother taking him there once when he was a child, he has never been there again. Ouyang Mingkai understands and understands the children in the orphanage.
not much.
"As long as the vice president pays the bill, I don't have any problem with the amount."
Zhao Ruijie smiled. If she wasn't stingy, compared with Ouyang Mingkai, she would be a beggar.
"No problem, you choose." Ouyang Mingkai smiled again. He didn't expect Zhao Ruijie to be so honest. Of course, she was also very realistic. However, when she laughed, Ouyang Mingkai's heart suddenly jumped, and something came to his mind.
A pair of big smiling eyes appeared.
When working, Zhao Ruijie is more serious than him. Unexpectedly, she is such an easy-going and funny girl outside of work.
"Then I'm welcome." Zhao Ruijie smiled happily.
Ouyang Mingkai suddenly said at this moment: "Why do I feel like you smile like a little fox behind your glasses?"
When the words came out, Ouyang Mingkai was stunned. He was very embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean anything else. I just thought you seemed to be very happy."
"Well, I'm really happy. The children in the orphanage don't have the love of their parents or relatives. Even their toys are mostly donated by people after use. I can thank you on their behalf for having new toys this time."
Zhao Ruijie still smiled brightly and said while choosing toys.
"Well, how about you go back and write a plan. Hua Tian will use part of the money for charity every year. It will be better if it can help the children around him."
Ouyang Mingkai had never thought about it before, and after working for so many years, he was not responsible for charity. After all, Ouyang Yiming was still here, so he didn't need to pay attention to everything.
"Really? Is it really okay, vice president?" Zhao Ruizhi forgot to even pick out toys. He ran to Ouyang Mingkai in surprise, grabbed his arm and said excitedly.
"Of course." Ouyang Mingkai was a little flattered. His arm held by Zhao Ruijie felt numb, which made him a little nervous.
"Okay, I'll write tomorrow." Zhao Ruijie was surprised and felt that she had gone too far, so she quickly let go of her hand and lowered her head.xdw8
"Well, hurry up and pick out the toys. It's getting late. It's too late to go back. The children will probably be asleep."
Ouyang Mingkai said again. As he spoke, their stomachs rang at the same time as if they had agreed.
"I'll go next door to buy some bread." Zhao Ruijie said with a blushing face.
Because there were a lot of toys to buy, and if I packed them one by one, they would probably have to be packed until after midnight, so I asked the store clerk to move them to the car. Suddenly, the car was full, not only the trunk, but also the back of the car.
There are no empty seats.
"Vice President, please eat something to fill your stomach first." After getting in the car, Zhao Ruijie handed a hot dog to Ouyang Mingkai, and the two of them sat in the car and ate bread, and the hot dog was their dinner.
Seeing that Ouyang Mingkai seemed to be choking, Zhao Ruijie handed over another box of milk.
"Thank you. When I go to work, I see you acting like you don't approach strangers. I didn't expect you to be so careful, considerate, and kind in private. You really can't tell the difference between a person and a person."
Kaikai took the milk and drank most of the box in one breath, then handed it to Zhao Ruijie and prepared to leave. If she didn't leave, the children would probably fall asleep by the time they arrived at the orphanage.
"That's not entirely true. It's just that the orphanage is home to me. Every child there is my family. Naturally, I can't be indifferent to my family. Isn't the vice president very cold in the company? But in private he is also very cold.
It’s funny, at Harvard Business School, the vice president is a very influential person.”
Zhao Ruijie doesn't think Ouyang Mingkai is making fun of her. She believes that everyone has two sides, but many people only see the external side. Just like her and Ouyang Mingkai, they are the same person at work.
Humanoid.
"Haha, the so-called influential people may be different in everyone's eyes. I don't take part in group activities very much."
Of course, Kaikai knew something about his reputation at Harvard, but he never cared. Everyone's goals and pursuits are different. People don't live in other people's world. How they want to live is entirely their own choice.
"I won't participate either. Actually, it's mainly because I don't have time. In addition, everyone feels it's hard to get close..."
During the week at work, the total words Zhao Ruijie said amounted to less than one-third of the time on the road, and this night, the two of them actually talked all the way to the welfare home.
"We're here, Vice President, thank you." Originally, Zhao Ruijie wanted to invite Ouyang Mingkai in, but it was already past nine o'clock, and besides, he had to go back to the city, so she didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
"For the sake of these gifts, shouldn't you invite me in to sit down?" Ouyang Mingkai thought as he saw the children from the orphanage standing at the door.
"But it's too late. The president has to rush back just in case..."
"It's okay." Ouyang Mingkai said as he got out of the car and said to the children at the entrance of the welfare home: "Children, can you come and help my brother move his things?"
Maybe he is used to being the big brother, at least no one has called Ouyang Mingkai uncle so far, so he naturally regards himself as the big brother.
The children didn't move at first, and then ran in this direction until Zhao Ruijie got off the car.
"Sister Rui"
"It seems that you are very popular." Ouyang Mingkai said with emotion as he watched the children running towards Aunt Zhao Rui.
