Chapter 53: Taking the Wrong Medicine
The dinner party is over.
The two little girls took a ride on Jiang Li, Yuan Lu went to the toilet by herself, she didn't participate in the distribution of their home, she didn't drink, she didn't have to take special care, and it was very convenient to take a taxi, and she didn't want to trouble people.
After she went to the toilet and arrived at the door of the hotel, she saw Cheng Jiangli standing at the door, with her hands in her clothes pockets, jumping up and down the steps.
Yuan Lu walked over, "Xiao Cheng." β
He turned around, "Sister Yuan." β
"Why haven't you left yet?" she took her bag and saw his car not far away, waiting for the company's little sister at the front desk.
"Where do you live?"
"Not on the way. Yuan Lu raised his chin and said with a smile: "Go quickly, I have already called a car." β
She had the posture of an eldest sister, and she patted him, "Don't let people wait, go quickly." She urged.
"Okay, then Sister Yuan, I'll go first. β
"Hmm. β
Cheng Jiangli was not reluctant.
Yuan Lu watched him walk to the car, and the two girls happily got into the car, Yuan Lu felt that it felt good.
The car she called arrived quickly, and she originally wanted to go to Kevin's side, but her aunt came, and she was not very comfortable, so she went home and slept first.
The house rented by Yuan Lu is an old bungalow in Haishi, in the urban area, the transportation is convenient, the environment is OK, just take the stairs, but she prefers this old feeling. When he first picked a place, Yuan Zheng accompanied him, he was not very satisfied, considering the problem of public security, if he wanted to find a better community, it didn't matter if it was more expensive.
But Yuan Lu insisted on being here.
Fortunately, the landlord and his wife are a very good old couple, and Yuan Zheng saw this and agreed. entrusted the old couple to help take care of Yuan Lu.
The husband and wife have no children and no daughters, so they directly take care of Yuan Lu as their daughter, and call her to the house for dinner every day.
Yuan Lu was embarrassed at first, but he couldn't hold back their enthusiasm, and finally paid the food fee, as long as he didn't go out, he would eat at their house.
As a result, Pei Li and Yuan Zheng were also particularly relieved.
Yuan Lu lives on the fifth floor and has a big balcony, which is quite comfortable.
The car stopped at the intersection, there was a person standing at the door of the old bungalow, and Yuan Lu got out of the car after paying.
"Hooray. β
"How busy you are, it's so hard to find you for a meal. β
Yuan Lu: "Originally, there was no such thing, but today the company came to an intern, and the boss took it very seriously, so he had a temporary dinner." This younger brother is very handsome. I can happily go to work every day from now on. β
The two walked in side by side, and Banzai sighed, "Nymphomaniac." β
"It's called pleasing to the eye, don't say it so vulgarly. Aren't you going to class tonight? Why did you come to me at this point and skip class?"
"Don't dare, just one class today. β
"Really, fake. β
"Lords, why am I lying to you. β
Banzai waved the bag in his hand, "Brought homework." β
The two went upstairs, and Banzai couldn't help but complain about the staircase, and Yuan Lu was too lazy to argue with him.
As they walked past the third floor, the old lady opened the door, greeted them, and handed them a bag of oranges, "I'm back." β
"Hmm. Yuan Lu took it, "Why haven't you slept yet?" β
"It's time to sleep. The old lady saw Banzai and greeted him with a smile.
The two continued to go up, Yuan Lu handed him a hand, and when they arrived at the door, she looked for the key to open the door.
Banzai leaned against the handrail of the stairs and lowered his head to peel oranges.
After he finished peeling half of it, Yuan Lu found the key and opened the door to enter.
She put down her bag and went to the toilet first, "Hooray, help me boil water." β
"Oh. β
Banzai put the remaining half of the oranges on the coffee table, put the bag of books in his hand on the ground, took the electric kettle and went to the kitchen to get water and boil it. Her kitchen is no different from a utility room, she can't cook, so this kitchen is just a decoration.
The stove inside is complete.
Banzai knew that she had dinner at the landlord's house.
Yuan Lu rubbed in the bathroom for a while before coming out, and Banzai sat on the lazy sofa, with nowhere to put his two long legs, a little crowded.
Yuan Lu rubbed his stomach and sat down to rest first.
Hooray: "You didn't learn to cook from your mother when you went home this time?"
"Oh, I forgot. β
"No credit, I'm still waiting for you to cook it yourself. β
"Wait, one day. β
Banzai saw her appearance, guessed that her aunt was coming, boiled hot water, got up and poured it for her, "Aunt saw the tattoo on your hand and scolded you for not it?"
"I didn't scold, but she wouldn't let me get any more tattoos. β
Yuan Lu raised his left hand and looked at it, the scar on his wrist was well covered, and if he didn't look carefully, he basically couldn't see it.
"I had to buy a bracelet to wear, and our boss had to frown every time he saw my tattoo," she said. β
"Exactly, I have it. Banzai took a box out of his pocket and handed it over.
Yuan Lu didn't answer.
Banzai raised, "Take it, Xu Min took me to worship the Bodhisattva during the New Year, and bought it in the temple." β
"Oh, is Officer Xu married?"
"This year, during the Chinese New Year, the two families had dinner together. I didn't go. β
"How?"
"The image is not good, so as not to misunderstand the other party. β
Yuan Lu glanced at him, held his chin, and said with a smile: "Hey, will you admit that you have a bad image one day? Don't you always say that you are handsome? I thought you didn't go because you were afraid of stealing the limelight from Officer Xu." β
Banzai was amused by her, "Isn't it that you have lost your self-confidence?"
"Have you bought any clothes for the New Year? Why are you still wearing this down jacket? β
That's what she bought.
Every time I saw him, I wore this outfit.
"Why, it didn't stink. β
Yuan Lu sighed, "Sick." β
She sat for a while, unable to stand tired, and was about to go to rest.
Banzai didn't stay long, took his book and left, and the place he rented was near here, just across the street. The box was placed on the coffee table and not taken away, Yuan Lu saw it, opened it and looked at it, it was a string of Buddhist beads, and it was still fragrant.
Yuan Lu wrapped it around his hand three times, just enough to cover up the tattoo.
The next day, Yuan Lu went out a few minutes late, and he was in a hurry along the way.
When she got off the subway, she had to pass a traffic light to get to the building, and she ran all the way.
After entering the building, there were still two minutes left, and seeing that the elevator door was about to close, she sprinted over at the fastest speed of 100 meters, rampaged, and directly blocked it with her body.
This is a very dangerous move.
The elevator door pinched her and reopened.
This time, it hurts.
But no matter what, just open it.
She took a deep breath and turned around to see the people in the elevator.
Jiang Ren and Yan Yan, both of whom are dressed in formal clothes, look like they are working here.
Yuan Lu and the two glanced at each other, moved in casually, and pressed down the floor.
She is ten-storey, and the other is fifteen-storey.
She looked down at the time, it should be too late.
Jiang Ren put one hand on the armrest, glanced at Yuan Lu lightly, and after a second of silence, he said, "You continue." β
Yan Yan paused, her eyes withdrew from Yuan Lu, but she didn't know what to say for a while.
She just looked at Jiang Ren.
He didn't seem to react, leaning lazily against the elevator wall as usual, chewing gum in his mouth.
After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Ren lowered his eyes and met her gaze, "Say." β
Yan Yan said: "Mr. Wang didn't answer my phone call, and it is said that they are going to sign a contract today." β
"Forget it. β
"It can't be counted, before discovering new customers, Wang is always a customer that we can't lose. Once lost, our funds will not be able to turn over. β
"Otherwise, are you still robbing alive? β
"There's always a way. β
Yuan Lu didn't want to listen to their work at all, but she was partial, the speed of the elevator was not as fast as before, and she always felt that the numbers were beating very slowly, and she was a little irritable when she was slow.
Finally, there was no obstacle on the way up, and the elevator stopped on the tenth floor.
Yuan Lu hung up his work card and ran out quickly.
Jiang Ren raised his eyes and glanced at the company's faΓ§ade before the elevator door closed.
This advertising agency, headquartered in Beicheng, is a branch of Haishi.
The strength is not small.
"What are you thinking?"
Jiang Ren retracted his gaze, "What?"
"Nothing. β
Back to the company, they had a morning meeting, and this year the company expanded and recruited a lot of outstanding talents to come back.
At the meeting, Jiang Ren made a position transfer, allowing Yan Yan to take care of financial problems wholeheartedly, and a newcomer was proposed to the assistant.
A little girl who just graduated.
"You hand it over. β
He went back to the office after the meeting, Yan Yan didn't listen to him, and followed him directly into the office, "What do you mean?"
"If the company wants to continue to develop, it must have a clear division of labor, there was no way before, you wear many hats, and now you are relaxed a little bit, and you will perform your own duties. It's more efficient this way. β
"Have you forgotten, you hired an accountant back from the finance department a year ago, and I'm almost done, and now you tell me to let me go to finance? Jiang Ren, you want to empty me?"
Jiang Ren sat down on the executive chair and said with a smile: "I have to ask you to sign when I take the company's money, how can I empty you? The company is still unstable, I won't break up with you at this time, and you suddenly have something wrong." β
Yan Yan pursed her lower lip, looked at him for a moment, and almost blurted out some questioning words, but finally swallowed it back into her stomach, deflated, and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's because of Mr. Wang's affairs, because of the pressure, I always think nonsense." Do you want coffee?"
He didn't answer.
"The one just now, it's Yuan Lu, right?"
Jiang Ren flipped through the document and responded calmly, without any emotional ups and downs.
Yan Yan continued: "I really didn't expect that she also worked here, what a coincidence. β
Jiang Ren looked at his documents and ignored her words.
Yan Yan couldn't talk anymore alone, so she went to the pantry to make him a cup of coffee.
In the evening, Jiang Ren worked overtime in the company until more than eight o'clock.
Everyone else left, and he was the last one to leave.
The phone vibrated twice, and he looked at it, it was a WeChat.
[Are you coming tonight?]
He didn't reply, putting his phone in his pocket.
Out of the building, he noticed a familiar figure standing next to his car. He didn't go over immediately, and a moment later a car stopped in front of her, and soon she got into it, and the car didn't get into the traffic.
......
Yuan Lu met a more difficult customer, and the plan was changed again and again, but he was not satisfied.
She also has a fire in her heart, and she has a lot of thoughts about breaking the jar and breaking it, and she doesn't want to serve.
But time is pressing, she wants to dry others, and they are urged by more than ten phone calls every day, one plan in the morning, one plan in the afternoon, and one plan in the evening.
She worked overtime and was dizzy, racking her brains, and still being disliked.
What's more, she has been feeling that someone is following her recently, and this feeling has been since the day she met Jiang Ren.
She suspected that she was sick, but she couldn't spare time to visit Kevin's because of her busy work.
This night, she took medicine before going to bed, maybe there were too many things, she took the medicine while talking on the phone, who knew that she took the wrong one.
The medicine was swallowed, and when he woke up, he was in the hospital.
After taking an overdose of sleeping pills, the person fell asleep and died, and the customer couldn't find her, so the phone called Cheng Jiangli. He made dozens of calls but no one answered, so he asked for the address from Zheng Dejun and looked for him.
Fortunately, the dose is not too large and there is no life-threatening situation.
Yuan Lu was stunned, opened his eyes, and heard someone talking, Cheng Jiangli stood by the window and made a phone call, as if he was explaining something.
Yuan Lu rubbed his drowsy head and propped himself up, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Jiangli heard the sound and ended the call.
"Sister Yuan. β
"Why am I in the hospital?" she sat up, her stomach a little upset.
Cheng Jiangli poured her a glass of warm water and said, "You have taken too much medicine." β
"Huh?"
Yuan Lu took a sip of water and recalled what happened before going to bed last night, her medicine was all in one place, otherwise she would have taken the wrong medicine.
Cheng Jiangli said: "Your customers keep calling you and can't get through, so they call the company. I couldn't get through to call you, so I went to your house to look for you, and your landlady helped open the door, but I couldn't wake up, so I called an ambulance. β
This thing is quite embarrassing, she looked at Cheng Jiangli, and felt that his eyes were meaningful, "It's not suicide." β
He smiled, "I know. β
"That's not what you look at. β
Cheng Jiangli rubbed his eyes innocently and said with a smile: "Sister, are you under so much pressure in your life?"
Yuan Lu raised his eyebrows, he went into her house to save people, and he would definitely look at her medicine.
She kept a straight face, "Sister doesn't care about you, just keep your mouth shut, you know?"
The corners of Cheng Jiangli's lips rose slightly, and he made a mouth sealing motion.
Yuan Lu could be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, but she still needed to take a break, so Cheng Jiangli took half a day off for her and sent her home.
At this moment, Yuan Lu finally felt the disadvantages of this old bungalow, there were really too many stairs.
She doesn't have much strength in this way, and if she takes two more steps, she feels dead.
Cheng Jiangli handed his shoulders to Yuan Lu, "You carry the bag, I carry you." β
"No, I don't. β
"Sister, do you like princess hugs?"
"Huh?"
Cheng Jiangli stuffed the bag into her hand and directly picked her up.
Yuan Lu subconsciously grabbed his clothes and was stunned for two seconds without speaking.
He hugged her very easily, his face was red and his heart was not beating or panting, and through his clothes, Yuan Lu felt his strong arms and strong body.
It has a refreshing atmosphere unique to young people.
There is no smell of smoke and no other messy taste.
He walked to the third floor and stopped, lifting her up.
Yuan Lu: "Your action is a bit rude." β
"Huh?" he glanced sideways, meeting her eyes.
"It looks like I'm heavy. β
He smiled: "You don't have to go to the gym to get iron today." β
When he arrived at the door of the house, he put the person down, he took out the key to Yuan Lu's house from his bag, opened the door, put the bag on the ground first, and then helped her into the door.
Yuan Lu sat down on the sofa, and Cheng Jiangli entered the kitchen and paused when he saw the sundries inside.
Yuan Lu: "Don't be busy, go back to the company." β
Here, apart from Banzai and Sheng Xiao, no other man has ever come in.
Cheng Jiangli said: "Don't be busy, I'll buy you something to eat." β
"No, you go and help me talk to the landlord downstairs, Grandma Qin, and she will do it for me. Thank you for today, and I will invite you to dinner in two days. β
As she was talking, Grandma Qin heard the sound and came up.
There was a knock on the door, and Cheng Jiangli went to open the door.
"Fawn, are you alright?"
"It's okay, it's an oolong, I'm worried about you. β
"But it scares me to death, if something happens, I don't know how to explain it to your parents. Grandma Qin looked at Cheng Jiangli and asked with a smile, "Is this your boyfriend?"
"It's not. Yuan Lu immediately denied it and explained: "This is my colleague, younger than me." β
Cheng Jiangli stood beside him, not so well-behaved.
The more Grandma Qin looked at it, the more happy she felt, her face was smiling, and she thought to herself, this child is too handsome. A pair of small eyes can't be moved.
When he came knocking on the door in the morning, the situation was urgent, panicked, she didn't look carefully, this will see clearly.
She grinned, "Oh oh, he's a good boy, thanks to him today, you have to thank him well." β
"Yes, thank you. β
Grandma Qin said, "I stewed porridge for you, do you want to eat it?" If you want to eat it, I'll serve it to you." β
Yuan Lu nodded, "I'm thinking about it." β
Grandma Qin glanced at Cheng Jiangli a few more times and went out with a smile.
Yuan Lu got up and wanted to boil some water.
As soon as she got the kettle, Cheng Jiangli took it and went to pick up the water for her, "I brought the computer over, I don't know the content of this plan, and I have to guide you by the side." It's a waste of time to run around, why don't I just get it here? It's also convenient to ask you, and take care of you by the way. β
Yuan Lu wanted to say no, but he thought that the plan was urgent, so he didn't say more.
It's just that the house has to be cleaned up a little, and she still has clothes piled up on the sofa.
She caught a glimpse of her underwear, coughed, and said, "Why don't you go buy something to eat first?"
Her glance completely fell on Cheng Jiangli's eyes, and he looked at it smoothly, pink-purple, with lace edges, but the style was still conservative and did not match her appearance.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Yuan Lu grabbed a pillow, threw it over and covered it quietly, staring at him, "Whatever." β
He smiled, "That's a bit difficult. Sister, are you testing me?"
"It shouldn't bother you. β
Cheng Jiangli took his mobile phone and went out, Yuan Lu cheered up and put away all the clothes on the balcony.
Grandma Qin came up with porridge and saw her cleaning up the house.
She put down the porridge and hurried over to help, "Why don't you go to bed and rest." β
"There's still work to do, take a break on the couch. After all, it's a male colleague, and there are some things to collect, otherwise it's embarrassing. β
Grandma Qin folded her clothes and said with a smile: "This young man is really handsome, and his skin is whiter and more tender than a girl." Such a beautiful child, better than that long live. β
Yuan Lu smiled: "How can you compare yourself with Banzai." β
"I'll give you some advice. β
"Grandma, don't think about it, it's my colleague. β
"Now it's a colleague, maybe it's something else in the future. Grandma Qin smiled, "For an excellent child like you, you can't find a boyfriend casually, it's best to be the right person, so that you can last a long time." Two very different people are together, and they never go to the end, and grandma is the one who came over. β
"What about you and Grandpa Qin?"
Grandma Qin didn't speak, but it could be seen from her expression that it should be a very good memory.
Yuan Lu is quite envious of this kind of feeling, the real white-headed old age, love is stronger than gold. It's a pity that there are too few such feelings, and they can't be found.
Anyway, she doesn't count on it herself, and she doesn't ask for it.
Cheng Jiangli went out for half an hour before coming back, and he went to Shixiangge to buy porridge and side dishes.
The food over there is quite expensive.
He put things on the table, all of them were very light dishes, and the two of them made plans while eating.
Cheng Jiangli summarized the problems raised by customers every time, and the two of them had the same ideas, this time with Cheng Jiangli as the leader, Yuan Lu assisted, and improved some small details.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the plan was sent.
After waiting for about an hour, the other party expressed satisfaction and could be put into execution.
Yuan Lu happily wanted to have a drink, and after doing it for half a month, he finally passed.
The two high-fived, and Yuan Lu said, "When I'm ready, please drink." β
"Remembered. β
Yuan Lu recovered quite quickly, and this will already be alive and well.
personally sent Jiang Li downstairs.
His little BMW was parked on the side of the road, already on the license plate.
Yuan Lu watched his car drive away, and was about to turn around and go back, when he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the intersection.
The intersection was empty, with only the occasional passer-by passing by.
She stood for a few moments before entering.
When she returned home, her medicine was placed on the bedside table, probably turned it out by Cheng Jiangli, and she retracted it in the drawer.
Just as he was about to go to bed, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Yuan Lu was stunned, put on a piece of clothing and went out, but there was no movement outside.
Yuan Lu put his ear against the door, listened quietly for a while, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked through the door: "Is it long live?"
In a moment, she was answered by two gentle taps.
Yuan Lu was frightened and quickly opened the door.
She still remembered that Banzai had been running around in the past few years for the sake of the person who had offended her.
Before she could react, the black shadow flashed, and she was pushed away violently, the force was too strong, Yuan Lu didn't stand firmly, and was knocked to the ground all of a sudden.
squatted hard, and Yuan Lu's tears came out of pain.
The next second, the lights in the house went out.
Yuan Lu hadn't seen people clearly, she was a little panicked, and moved two steps back, "Yes, is it long live?"
"It's not. β
The night magnified everything, and the voice, once haunted her like a demon when she dreamed back at midnight, made her suffer from pain.
At this moment, it was as if those nightmare days had returned, she gritted her teeth, and there was a fire in her heart, which was rising up.
A sense of hatred arose, and she slowly stepped back and touched the ashtray on the coffee table, which she had prepared, but after buying it, she had not used it.
Always as a decoration.
She pinched.
"I'm ......" Jiang Ren hadn't finished his words, only to hear the sound of something landing.
With a muffled grunt.
