Chapter 12 Climbing the Dragon and Attaching the Phoenix

The low-rise buildings are generally no more than 8 floors, and it is said that elevators are installed after the exceedance, so the homeowners are well controlled.

The narrow spacing between the buildings, coupled with the old-fashioned security nets protruding from the windows, has made the two buildings almost seamless.

The rusty railings dried the clothes of men, women, and children, and piled up all kinds of miscellaneous items that were not afraid of the wind and the sun.

Very little sunlight penetrates all of this and falls to the ground, so that the lighting on the first floor is terrible, and the smell of dampness fills the house, and the outside of the house is always wet.

The path between the buildings is not wide, and it is occupied by bicycles, motorcycles, and tricycles, as well as tables and chairs in restaurants, freezers in shops, and food baskets in fresh food stores.

People should move dexterously from side to side to avoid touching others, and avoid being rubbed by the muddy water of the shoes of children in the arms of their parents, the wheels of bicycles, and the water stains of vegetables.

This week, Shi Xiaoai has been here for the second time.

The much-criticized new project of TP Marketing has finally begun. Shi Xiaoai, who originally thought that he would be able to stay out of the matter by throwing out a May, completely underestimated Xiong Byron's "passion for work".

As everyone deduced, Xiong Byron hung the name of the director of the planning and creative department, and unceremoniously reached out to the marketing department.

Over the course of the week, the two departments were almost merged.

There's this kind of thing like market research, and everybody is involved.

According to Xiong Bairon's instructions, Lyle arranged a table of people from the two departments, including manager-level people like Zhuang Fei and Chu Lixin, who also took turns to carry the questionnaire to the scene.

However, the new project is related to the transformation of urban villages near large factories, and the environment is really not good, which makes a group of white-collar workers who are used to coming and going in modern office buildings very uncomfortable.

Shi Xiaoai still remembers the first time she came here, and her female colleagues either stepped on three-inch heels or wore tulle long skirts, and the day was miserable.

So much so that even if you are working indoors these days, everyone is sneakers + T-shirt jeans, who knows if you will be caught temporarily, be prepared.

Today it was Shi Xiaoai's turn again, and it happened that Doudou was also arranged, and the two made an appointment to meet at the rice noodle shop on the corner of the bus stop at noon.

After eating a bowl of hot pickled pepper rice noodles, Shi Xiaoai can be regarded as regaining a little feeling of being alive.

"I really should have exercised harder, and after walking for a long time, my legs were about to break. ”

"Sister Xiao Ai, how many days are we going to come?" Ding Meixin, a member of the group on the side, asked sadly, "I can't collect much useful information at all, it's a complete waste of time." ”

Everyone knows that Ding Meixin is telling the truth.

This urban village is built next to a large industrial park, and most of the residents are migrant workers working in the industrial park enterprises.

In the front-line positions of the manufacturing industry, people can rest, and the assembly line does not stop.

In three shifts, the workers are either going to work or sleeping.

Occasionally come out and show your face, either unkempt and eat a bowl of noodles, or dress up to go out on a date, or change into work clothes and get ready for work, and almost no one wants to stop and fill out a questionnaire.

Occasionally, a few young men were willing to say a few words when they saw a little girl like Ding Meixin, but Shi Xiaoai usually asked male colleagues to hurry up and follow.

"I don't know. Everyone do their best, and don't think that you are doing things for others, just learn something new. ”

Doudou handed Shi Xiaoai a contemptuous look, indicating that these words were completely unconvincing.

Shi Xiaoai could only sigh silently in her heart, otherwise what else could she do?

Lin Li's advice is still in his ears, and he only wants to be safe and stable.

"It's not the way to go. Doudou said, "Today is all carrying indicators." It's been half a day, and I've only gotten five copies. ”

After the first round of market research, each team gave feedback on the actual situation on the spot, saying that it was not easy to collect effective questionnaires.

I thought that the marketing department would consider adjusting the ways and means, but I didn't expect that Lyle, the nominal project leader, would just give everyone hard indicators.

This unabashedly centralized management model has been criticized, but it has worked.

It is said that some of the teams in charge of yesterday's research lasted until 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening, barely enough to make up the number.

Shi Xiaoai didn't want to spend so much time here, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people, she would definitely have directly faked.

"Sister Ai, I have a way, maybe I can try. Xiaomi, who has always been quiet and silent, said tentatively.

Shi Xiaoai smiled at him encouragingly and said, "Okay." Say it, let's hear it. ”

"The questionnaire questions are simple and can be answered by everyone who lives here. We don't necessarily have to look for people to work. Then, I observed, the mahjong parlor here is the most crowded place during the day. Perhaps, we can go and try. ”

"No one in the mahjong parlor wants to stop and write a questionnaire. Ding Meixin questioned.

"They don't need to fill it in, we write it for them. Doudou was inspired by Xiaomi, and said a little excitedly, "You can also ask one table at a time, and ask four answers at a time, which is four questionnaires." ”

Shi Xiaoai thought about it and found a loophole: "But if it's all our handwriting, it will be suspected of counterfeiting." ”

"Don't be afraid. Zou Yiming, a member of the Doudou group, raised his mobile phone and said, "Take a video." ”

You and I will quickly negotiate a complete plan.

Everyone was very excited, and it seemed that they saw the light of day when they would end up early and go home.

Ding Meixin excitedly rushed up and hugged Xiaomi, causing Xiaomi to blush for a while.

In the afternoon, Shi Xiaoai and his entourage "checked" the local mahjong hall one by one, and each recorded one or two videos as samples, and then began to quickly engage in the pleasant Kanda Mountain link of your questions and answers.

These uncles and aunts, who have experienced a hundred battles on the battlefield of the quintessence of the country, are not afraid of distraction at all.

If you have some insight on a certain topic, you will also reveal some more information, coupled with the check and fill in the gaps of the card friends on the side, everyone listened to a lot of local gossip in the afternoon.

After leaving the first mahjong parlor, Shi Xiaoai and Doudou knew that it was easy to complete the task, so they generously shared the "customs clearance cheats" with other research teams.

They did not forget to tell the others to sift through from the other end, so as not to find the same group.

Finally, by the time everyone had completed the set task, it was less than half past four.

Shi Xiaoai considered that this place was far away from TP, and if everyone rushed back, it would be about the end of work, so she talked to Zhuang Fei on the phone, and a group of people disbanded in a low-key manner and went back to their respective homes.

In the past week, Shi Xiaoai and Doudou have been busy in the dark, and they are rarely free, so they decided to go to the hospital to see Jasmine together.

When I was about to arrive at the hospital, I called Jasmine, but no one answered.

When the two of them walked to the gate of the hospital, they were debating whether to go directly to the hospital or to the hotel, but they saw Yi Shan hurriedly running over from across the road.

Shi Xiaoai and Doudou hurriedly greeted him.

"Yi Shan, you are ......"

Yi Shan stopped abruptly, and it took several seconds to recognize the two of them, and then beckoned the two of them to walk with her to the hospital, panting and saying, "Hurry up, talk while walking." ”

Shi Xiaoai and Doudou saw that she was sweating profusely, her expression was serious, and she was a little nervous, and she didn't know if it was Fu Jiren or Master Qian whose situation had changed.

"Master Qian is awake," Yi Shan said, "but just now the hospital informed that TP had stopped Master Qian's medical expenses and asked Jasmine to pay for it herself." ”

"What?!" Shi Xiaoai and Doudou, who had not yet recovered from Master Qian's sober news, were dizzy by the second news.

Shi Xiaoai hurriedly asked: "Didn't Mr. Jin say that the expenses are all borne by TP? ”

"You haven't been here for a few days, so you don't know what's going on. Mrs. Fu said that Mr. Fu had been in a coma for too long, and he wanted to apply for a person with limited civil capacity, which seemed to be this, and I couldn't say anything about the law. ”

Doudou understood in seconds: "Anyway, she wants to make decisions for Mr. Fu." ”

"Yes, that's it in a nutshell. Mr. Jin has not had a good time these days. Besides, she doesn't care about finances, and she can't control the accounts over there. ”

Shi Xiaoai immediately remembered Fu Shouyi, who was far away in North America, mentioned by Lin Li, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Fu has been hospitalized for so long. Won't he and Mrs. Fu's son come back to see it?"

Yi Shan didn't seem to think there was anything strange about this question, and replied: "Mrs. Fu said that her son is graduating this year, and she doesn't want to affect her son's studies, and she can't help when she comes back." At first, I didn't even want to tell the truth. It was Mrs. Fu's brother Mr. Mo who came to visit the patient last weekend, so Mrs. Fu made a phone call to the United States on the spot. ”

"That's too much to spoil children. Mothers have many defeated children. Doudou muttered dissatisfied.

Shi Xiaoai poured Yi Shan's words in her heart a few times, it seems that not many people in TP should know that Fu Shouyi is not Mrs. Fu's biological child.

And Mrs. Fu really doesn't want Fu Shouyi to return to China, in case Fu Jiren has an accident, Fu Shouyi is far away in the United States, and Mrs. Fu will be easy to operate many things.

As for the role of the Mo family in this quasi-inheritance battle, it is unknown for the time being.

But it's certainly not a blank slate, after all, Xiong Byron has invaded as the vanguard.

In addition, it is certain that Mr. Mo is calmer and smarter than his sister.

Where can Fu Jiren's hospitalization be hidden. Lin Li knew that Sunan went to the United States on a business trip, and the Mo family must have known a thing or two.

"Prince, you hold on. Shi Xiao's love silently worried about the unmasked young owner, and at the same time sighed that it was better for Lin Li's family situation to be simple.

After thinking about it again, what if Father Lin also had an illegitimate child or something like that one day, he must find a time to remind Lin Li and don't take it lightly.

Yi Shan took Shi Xiaoai and Doudou to an ordinary ward.

It is said to be a general ward, but it is also a private room, and the bed is about the same size as a normal double bed. The room was at the end of the floor, with glass windows on both sides, which allowed good light and was quiet.

There is a microwave, refrigerator, TV, and water dispenser. Overall, the conditions are very good. As soon as Shi Xiaoai entered the door, she silently calculated, just this bed fee is not low for a day, who can afford it for a long time in ordinary families.

Master Qian was lying on the hospital bed, asleep with his eyes closed, with some tubes inserted in his body, and a circle of various instruments around him, which continuously made a ticking sound, and the screen displayed incomprehensible curves and data.

Jasmine lay on the edge of the hospital bed and seemed to be asleep.

Yi Shan lowered her voice and said, "Master Qian woke up in the early morning, everyone stayed up all night, and then transferred to the ward during the day. I just sent my aunt back to the hotel to rest, and I didn't dare to let her know about the medical expenses. Mr. Jin rushed back to TP and asked the finance department. ”

Doudou also whispered, "You go and rest for a while." Leave us alone. ”

Yi Shan shook her head and said, "I'll go to the nurse's station and ask to see how much money is left in the account." ”

As soon as Yi Shan walked on the front foot, she pulled Shi Xiaoai out of the ward lightly with her back foot, and found a row of chairs in the aisle to sit down.

"Shi Xiaoai, the time has come to test our revolutionary friendship. Doudou suddenly said this coldly.

Shi Xiaoai looked at her in a daze, not knowing what to say.

"Don't pretend to be innocent. At the job fair that day, after you went out to eat with Lin Li, you were absent-minded all afternoon. Others think that you are spring-hearted and have no intention of working, but I know that you must have heard some gossip. What is Lin Li's current identity, what he tells you must be a high-end insider. Be lenient in your confession and strict in your resistance, I advise you to be honest. ”

In fact, since that time Sunan called himself to the hospital, Shi Xiaoai hid some things from Doudou.

In view of the relationship between the two and TP's business, Shi Xiaoai always felt a little guilty.

The spicy secret history revealed by Lin Li this time, Shi Xiaoai felt that the crazy coefficient was too high, and she didn't dare to reveal it at all.

Seeing her thoughtful look, Doudou sighed: "I have no conscience! Let me share a gossip with you first." As he spoke, he glanced left and right, lowering his voice a degree or two, "Do you remember the nurse next to Lyle that night? The female nurse's father is also a leader of the hospital. ”

Shi Xiaoai subconsciously asked, "How do you know?"

Recently, he boasted about his girlfriend's family background everywhere, saying that he could fight for 30 years less. But when he came to TP, he boasted that his girlfriend was the executive secretary of a previous company. ”

Doudou smiled mysteriously and continued to say proudly, "You also know that his former owner is one of the best companies in the industry, and there are many people. I inquired through the neighbors of my senior sister's husband's aunt that he abandoned his ex-girlfriend for the sake of Panlong and Phoenix. That sister is not a vegetarian, and she is very cold about the situation of this little nurse. Lyle didn't dare to reveal that his current girlfriend and prospective father-in-law belonged to this hospital, but it was an open secret at his former employer. ”

"The last time Mr. Fu's illness was on the news, it wouldn't have anything to do with his little girlfriend, right?" The more Shi Xiaoai thought about it, the more she felt that the water was too deep and too muddy, and cautiously speculated, "There is also the problem of Master Qian's medical expenses this time." ”

"Who knows. But at least Mrs. Fu and Xiong Byron must have a clear understanding of the situation at the hospital. ”

"That's why Mrs. Fu didn't stay here every day. It turned out that everything was in her hands. ”

"I just didn't understand how Lyle got on the line with Mrs. Fu and Byron Xiong. Doudou continued to analyze, "And his time to change girlfriends is too deliberate." Was it because of his girlfriend's identity that Xiong Byron recruited him to his command? Or was it a beautiful man's trick to find out the news for Fu Tai?"

Shi Xiaoai sincerely admired Doudou's spirit of diligently pursuing the truth, and suddenly felt that she should really share the secret in her heart with her, maybe Doudou's tenth-level gossip skills, which are good at breaking through cocoons, can help a lot.

Just when Shi Xiaoai was thinking about how to open her mouth and pick up something to say first, Doudou patted her and signaled not to speak.

Shi Xiaoai quieted down, and heard messy footsteps from the other end of the corridor.

Several nurses walked over. In the middle was Lyle's girlfriend, who was not tall and very imposing, raised her head, walked over and glanced at Shi Xiaoai and Doudou, and went directly into the ward. The few little nurses who followed behind looked very anxious, as if they wanted to stop her, but they didn't dare to step forward, pushing each other.

It's not good!

Shi Xiaoai and Doudou immediately stood up and were about to enter the ward, when the voice of the nurse was already heard inside.

"Patient's family, your prepayment is almost insufficient, what are you going to do?" should be Lyle's girlfriend, who sounds aggressive.
