"President Guo, did something happen to Mu Zixi? I saw that she was very depressed these two days.”When it was almost time to get off work, Cheng Gongmei saw that Guo Lijian was in a good mood, so she said what she had been holding back in her heart.
When she greeted Mu Zixi today, Mu Zixi was a little distracted. Cheng Gongmei felt that Guo Lijian might be able to help her. After following Guo Lijian for so long, she could still see some things clearly. Guo Lijian cared about Mu Zixi. He was willing to help her with anything.
"Is that so? I'll go take a look." Guo Lijian said and immediately went upstairs.
He walked to the second floor and looked inside. He didn't see Mu Zixi. He guessed that she had left after work. However, he saw Long Fei's bitter face. He held a cigarette in his hand and smoked. His eyes were unfocused.
"Long Fei, General Manager, what's wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy?”Guo Lijian asked jokingly.
"Lijian, we haven't gathered for a long time. Are you free today? How about having a drink with me?"
"Well, it's been a while since we last got together. You've gone from being cold and heartless to being sentimental.”Guo Lijian pretended to be emotional.
"Is there? Who said that?" Long Fei suddenly stood up and stared at Guo Lijian. He felt a little guilty. Actually, he had also realized that ever since Mu Zixi walked into his line of sight, he had changed, almost instinctively.
"Why not? Do you still need someone to say it?”Guo Lijian said confidently.
"Let's go to the usual place and have a drink.”
"Alright."
The old place they were talking about was a high-class restaurant called Fragrant Green, which was very close to the Long family. The environment there was especially elegant. The designer was ingenious and integrated a large number of plants into the food to design the wall. There were also a large number of clean and green plants in the room. No matter where the customers looked, they would see fresh green.
When the two of them were about to go to Fragrant Green, Long Manqin and Jiang Qing were already sitting in a corner of the restaurant by the window.
"Senior Qing, take this. There's 80,000 yuan inside. The password is your birthday.”Long Manqin took out a bank card from China Bank and placed it in front of the man opposite her.
"Manqin, I can't take your money. I'll think of a way to deal with my family.”
"This is the pocket money I saved up. It's okay.”
"I really can't."
"Senior Qing, I've always treated you as the most important person in my life. Even if you don't like me and we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, I still hope that you can accept me. Saving Uncle is more important. If you don't give him some money, Uncle will go to jail. Can you bear to see him go to jail at such an old age with a crippled hand?”
"How did you know?" Jiang Qing looked at her in surprise.
"A few months ago, I couldn't contact you, so I went to your house to look for you. Your mother told me. After listening to her, I started to raise money. That family gave you three years. It's almost time now. I know you can't get that much money in a short time.”
"Then I'll lend it to you first. Thank you. When I have money, I'll return it to you with interest.”
"It's okay. As long as I can help you, I'll do anything.”Long Manqin was very happy to see Jiang Qing agree to accept it.
"Manqin, I'm not worth it.”Jiang Qing looked at her with mixed feelings.
"If I think you're worth it, then you're worth it.”
Ever since Jiang Qing understood Long Manqin's feelings, he wanted to cut ties with her. Although he was very helpless now, he still did not want to give up his most precious woman, Shen Xiangmi. However, he couldn't just leave his father alone. He racked his brains but couldn't raise 100,000 yuan.
He put away the card, and a tragic and bloody scene appeared in front of him again.
That morning, someone had asked his father's small truck to bring a cart of spring bamboo shoots to the city to sell. In the morning, his mother made tofu (it was a custom in his hometown not to eat tofu before driving or when there was danger. Usually, tofu was only eaten after someone passed away. It was considered unlucky to eat tofu early in the morning). Moreover, his father drank a little wine. When someone came knocking on the door, her mother stopped her father and told him not to come out, telling that person to look for someone else. However, his father felt that his mother was too nervous, and he had to do this business that was delivered to him. He insisted on going and promised his mother that nothing would happen.
Jiang Qing, who had received nine years of education, naturally would not believe or care about her mother's superstitious thoughts. However, it was an indisputable fact that her father had drunk. Therefore, she advised,"Dad, you'd better wait for the alcohol to dissipate before you go. Don't be in such a hurry.”
"My rice wine has a low alcohol content. It's fine. I've been a master for so many years.”Father Jiang said as he went to get the car.
Ever since Father Jiang left, Mother Jiang had been nagging at Jiang Qing,""Will your father be alright? My eyelids are twitching and fighting. No matter how hard I rub them, I can't stop.”
"Mom, you're just too worried and nervous, which is why your eyes are jumping. Our biology teacher told us that Dad is a cautious person.”Jiang Qing saw her mother's uneasiness and comforted her confidently.
However, after an hour, Fan Sen ran and shouted,""Something happened to Yujuan. Something happened to your man at Maple Bay.”
Fengshuwan was not far from home. It was two miles away because there were more than ten very old maple trees there. There was also a big steep bend. The villagers called it Fengshuwan. When Jiang Qing and his mother arrived on Yu Qinglin's motorcycle, the place was already surrounded by people. Jiang Qing saw a tricycle being knocked over. On the roadside, a man's legs were covered in blood. The bright red blood seeped into his pants and flowed everywhere, turning dark red. His face was blue, and he was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and groaned. His father's right hand was also scratched by the glass.
"Quick, look. We've already thought of a way to call an ambulance. It should be here soon.”The one who spoke was Chen Chun Xian, who had asked her father to deliver the bamboo shoots. Fortunately, he was fine.
When Jiang Qing saw that tragic scene, his eyes, which had never shed tears, became moist. A man would not shed tears easily, but he understood that it had not reached the point of sadness. Her mother began to ask her father in pain while blaming him. A cold mountain breeze blew past, and Jiang Qing shivered. A slightly red maple leaf fell on his body. He looked at the falling maple leaves and did not dare to look at his father's right hand, nor did he dare to look at the tricycle driver lying on the side of the road. He thought of comforting his father. He thought of the future of his family. He thought of dropping out of school. He thought of not being able to confess to Shen Xiangmi for the time being. His mind was in a mess as he thought about it…
Later, he went to the hospital with his mother and a few neighbors. His father's hand was infected too deeply, so he had to cut off his right hand to save his whole body. From then on, his father could no longer engage in his favorite driving career, nor could he cook, write, chop wood, or do many things that he could easily do in the past... Jiang Qing felt sad when he thought of his amiable and respectable father going to bear all that. Sometimes, he even wished that he could bear this pain for his father. If all of this happened to him, it would be better than it happened to his father. He was still young. If he practiced, his left hand might be as nimble as his right hand. However, his father was already so old and still had to suffer.
To make matters worse, the traffic bureau had come forward to deal with this traffic accident. His father's brakes had malfunctioned, and he had not checked properly before driving. His father had to take full responsibility.
Because they were neighbors, Jiang Qing's father, Jiang Daxing, was known for his loyalty and kindness. Therefore, the two sides finally negotiated that Jiang Daxing would accompany Zeng Dongguo, who was injured by the tricycle, for 100,000 yuan, which would be paid off in three years. Jiang Qing had wanted to give up on university several times, but because of their class teacher's insistence, he had to work part-time and finish university. After graduating from college, he had wanted to earn more money, but the economy was in a bad state. He even worked part-time in his spare time, so he had only saved 30,000 yuan. He thought for a moment and went to find friends and relatives who could borrow money. The most he could get was 50,000 yuan. Long Manqin's money was undoubtedly a gift in the snow.
"Senior Qing, what are you thinking about? The dishes are all served. Let's eat!"
"Okay, don't worry. I'll return it to you as soon as possible.”Long Manqin's words interrupted his thoughts.
"I'm really a little worried. What if you run away one day? How about this? I'll be more at ease if you work at our Long Corporation.”Long Manqin said half-jokingly. She hoped that Jiang Qing would go to the Long family. This way, her mother would support her more and she would have a better chance of winning against Jiang Qing.
"When my contract here ends, I'll go to the Long Corporation!”Jiang Qing replied after thinking for a moment. Since he had never accepted Long Manqin as his girlfriend, it was understandable that she would have scruples. He would do his best to repay her kindness.
"Really? That's great." Long Manqin's eyes shone with hope. She didn't want to take advantage of Jiang Qing's situation and was just testing him. She didn't expect Jiang Qing to agree.
"Yes, I will work hard to enter the Long family.”
"You don't have to worry about entering the Long family. You're so talented. I'll get my brother and my father to help.”
"Manqin, what are you talking about?”
Just as Long Manqin was overwhelmed with joy at this unexpected event, she heard Long Fei's voice.
"Brother, why are you here?" Long Manqin stood up and asked in an unwelcoming voice.
"Lijian and I are here for a drink."
"Brother, since you've seen it, let me introduce you. This is my senior, Jiang Qing. He studied marketing in university and is very good at operations. I want to poach him to our company.”Long Manqin said eagerly.
"Hello." Jiang Qing quickly stood up and greeted them politely.
"Manqin, are you concerned about the company or him?”Long Fei stared at Jiang Qing and said.
"Brother, what are you saying? I'm also a member of the family. Why can't I care about the company?”Long Manqin blushed.
"Our Manqin has grown up and already has a boyfriend. When did you find one? Why didn't you tell me? When you were young, you told me everything.”Guo Lijian glanced at Jiang Qing and said jokingly.
"You've misunderstood. He's really my senior.”
"Alright, you guys chat. Lijian and I will go over there.”Long Fei said as he walked away with Guo Lijian.
Long Manqin saw that the two of them had walked far away, then she said to Jiang Qing,""Although my brother and I have the same father but different mothers, he treats me very well. They like to joke with me, so don't mind them.”
"Yes, alright."
"Manqin, hurry up and eat. I'll send you back after you're done. I still have work to do tonight.”
"Alright."
