Chapter 221: The Contractor (39)
After arriving in the United States, Xiao Lan and Xiao Qiang were also temporarily arranged by Gu Wei somewhere, gave them a new identity, gave them a place to live, and even wanted to find a job for them, but Xiao Lan refused. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Guixue is with Gu Wei and Frank to participate in the internal political power meeting of the organization, and the specific situation is not something that Xiao Lan can understand.
In general, Gu Wei and Gui Xue have done their best to them, and it is time to part ways. Xiao Lan is a burden to them, and their help is only a handout of goodwill. Xiao Lan is just a former subordinate to Gui Xue, thinking that she will only help Xiao Lan if she is tired, and for Gu Wei, Xiao Lan is an ordinary person who is not even a friend, and she is willing to save her, to put it cruelly, but she is also in humanitarianism.
If Gui Xue can rely on her talent and foreknowledge to do a lot during the war, Xiao Lan can also rely on her own talent in the United States.
In the thirties of the twentieth century, the United States happened to encounter an economic crisis, the Great Depression, the era of all kinds of wastes, and everything was reshuffled, which could not be better for Xiao Lan. Her advanced information technology is of great use to the American Research Society, and she has a strong knowledge reserve and learning ability.
She didn't want to let things get out of control anymore, she wanted to open up her own path, take Xiao Qiang, and disappear from the sight of Gui Xue and Gu Wei, and focus on the strife of the regime, they had no time to take care of the two sisters, and after half a month, they found out that they were leaving. It's not the same person in the first place, and leaving is the best choice......
After 30 years of hard work, a Chinese woman started from scratch and established a business in the United States, becoming a representative of a well-known Chinese enterprise and a shareholder of a number of well-known computer software companies. Life went smoothly, and his reputation and wealth grew, but the only thing that didn't make any progress was Xiao Lan's task, and the progress of the task stalled, and thirty years passed as soon as it stopped.
In the past 30 years, Xiao Lan has not only worked hard for her career, but also given Xiao Qiang a superior material environment. She married a middle-class Chinese in the United States, gave birth to three children, and can be said to be living a good and nourishing life. "Protect my sister and let her live. This is the original words of the task, as early as thirty years ago when she was in the yarn factory, Xiao Lan had already protected Xiao Qiang, did not let her be killed, and also took her to escape, "protection" was achieved, "live" was also achieved, but the task was still not completed, maybe it was until Xiao Qiang died peacefully?
Xiao Lan was very puzzled, she knew that the completion of the task required a "node", and the "node" was the ultimate weapon to break the last line of defense of the obsessive person, but where was the node of this task? From beginning to end, Xiao Lan did not find it.
Since she couldn't find it, Xiao Lan didn't die, and worked hard to give Xiao Qiang a superior material environment, so that she could live well and wait for the "node" to appear. Such casual thoughts made her focus on work and ignore Xiao Qiang.
Xiao Lan completely regards Xiao Qiang as a daughter to raise, she is basically responsible for the expenses, and the work is based on reason to make Xiao Lan infected with a strong personality, and the needs of Xiao Qiang will basically be satisfied, and the work is busy, there are fewer meetings, the concepts are different, and the emotions are fading, and the two have an estrangement invisibly......
At the company's regular shareholders' meeting, Xiao Lan is just choosing the latest executive officer with other shareholders. The seriousness of the meeting can be easily handled by Xiao Lan. In the entire high-level venue, shareholders voted to decide, but Xiao Lan was called out on the grounds of emergency. Out of the conference room, she saw Field, who was Xiao Qiang's husband, anxiously waiting.
As soon as he saw Xiao Lan's face, he approached without saying a word and said, "She is hospitalized." Field's face was pale, his words were incoherent, and his eyes were full of worry, which made Xiao Lan have a bad premonition.
She hurriedly asked her subordinates to prepare the car, and went to the hospital with Field to check on Xiao Qiang's condition. At the Central Hospital, Xiao Lan did not go to Xiao Qiang's side as soon as possible, but went to the doctor first to inquire about her condition.
The situation is very bad, Xiao Qiang fell ill because she worked as a contractor when she was a child, even if the material conditions for thirty years kept up, it was only to alleviate the situation, and she couldn't find out, and now that she is old, the hidden symptoms rushed up, and Xiao Qiang was directly crushed and admitted to the intensive care unit.
After seeing Xiao Qiang's situation, Xiao Lan had a complicated heart, she stood at the door, and Field was sorting out Xiao Qiang's clothes in the ward, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Xiao Lan opened the door of the ward, and the first thing she said after entering was.
"What's going on?" asked why Xiao Qiang didn't tell her what happened in the first place.
Xiao Qiang's body shook, obviously a little afraid of her sister's questioning, sitting on the bed, her eyes dodging, trying to hide the past, she said, "It's okay, he made a fuss and called you here." ”
How could Xiao Lan be satisfied with this answer, if she knew it early on, she could arrange the best treatment for Xiao Qiang, and now it was not her who was lying on the bed.
"Critical illness notice, not serious, if Field doesn't come, how long are you going to hide it from me?"
Xiao Qiang didn't want Xiao Lan to be so aggressive, so she could only answer with a smile: "Now that medical skills are very developed, don't you want the previous doctor to be cured?"
Xiao Qiang smiled, and Xiao Lan softened, after all, she was a sister, more like a "daughter", she couldn't continue to ask, and it didn't matter, the important thing was the next treatment.
"I'll take care of the formalities for you later, and you'll be hospitalized now. She hoped that Xiao Qiang would be well.
"Sister, I don't want to be hospitalized. But Xiao Qiang rejected her suggestion and said a request that Xiao Lan had never considered, "I want to go home......" When Xiao Qiang spoke, the thoughts in her eyes turned into tears.
Xiao Lan was surprised and didn't respond immediately.
Miss Gui said that New China has been founded, the war has long ended, and I want to go home and see my parents. She continued, hoping that consent could be sought.
"I want to go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back again. Almost begging, the youthful face is gone, the voice of vanity pours out emotion, and tears overflow.
Field sighed, wiped Xiao Qiang's tears and comforted her with a hug, then turned to Xiao Lan and said, "She has always wanted to go back to China, she wants to go crazy, but you have always disagreed, now you should let her go back." This disease can be cured, but heart disease cannot be cured. He also hopes that his wife will get her wish.
Xiao Lan realized that she had always ignored Xiao Qiang's thoughts, Xiao Qiang had always wanted to go home, she didn't want to come to the United States at all, although there was freedom and superior material life, but in essence, Xiao Qiang and Gui Xue or Xiao Lan did not agree. Both of them are modern people, and Xiao Qiang was originally a poor contract worker from a small mountain village, and her long-rooted thoughts cannot be erased, and she will not give up her family easily.
Xiao Qiang was able to go home, and this is the end of the mission.
Xiao Lan felt that her throat was a little dry and she didn't know what to do, and finally responded slowly in a hoarse tone: "Then go back, if you want." ”
