At the beginning of the lanterns, at the entrance of the Municipal People's Hospital.

Chen Xiao turned her head and met Wei Min's gaze, and when she saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, she said, "Zijin, you go to the car and wait for me first." ”

Xia Zijin didn't know what the relationship between the two was, and after glancing at Wei Min, he still left obediently.

Wei Min touched his cheek, which had been swollen, and said softly, "Thank you, third brother......"

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this, where do you live, I'll send you." ”

"No, I'm pretty close to here."

For Chen Xiao, Wei Min is both afraid and timid, on the one hand, this person's city is too deep, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he easily calculates people, and then the original incident makes her feel shameless to face Chen Xiao and Ling Yue again.

After hesitating, she said worriedly: "That...... Will the police still look for me? ”

At this moment, Lai Xingting and the two joint defenders are also in the hospital behind them, the two joint defenders are okay, most of them are soft tissue contusions, and they will be fine after two or three days, but Lai Xingting was beaten into a pig's head, not only missing a front tooth, but also the right eye is congested and swollen into an egg, and he can only squint an eyeliner at present!

Only the head and internal organs are not in serious trouble, and according to the doctor's caliber, it is optimistically estimated that he will have to recuperate for about half a month.

"Didn't you say it just now, you didn't call the person, but the police may also ask you for assistance in the investigation and evidence collection, so don't leave Yunjiang for the time being these days, just keep your mobile phone unblocked."

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice: "On the contrary, you were abused by Lai Xingting and slapped in the face, you should be a victim, I have already said hello to the police, and the case will be dealt with, and your compensation will not be less, if you are still not satisfied, you can file a civil lawsuit with the court." ”

"Forget it, third brother. I really don't need to! Besides, Lai Xingting has been beaten like that, you and those people have already helped me out, I don't want to make trouble because of this anymore! ”

Wei Min shook his head like a rattle. Hesitant: "Other...... Can you please keep this matter a secret for me? ”

The two did not have a deep relationship, and Wei Min asked Chen Xiao to help keep it secret, undoubtedly asking him not to tell Ling Yue.

Chen Xiao nodded, and said, "By the way, what business were you helping Lai Xingting do?" ”

Wei Min didn't hide it, and confessed: "His company is actually just a leather bag company. There are not many employees, and the main business is to act as an agent for the goods of some enterprises in the development zone, and then transfer them to Nanyang for sale. ”

Chen Xiao suddenly remembered Pei Yan's original words, Lai Xingting, with the support and strong push of his family, joined the Eco-City Development Company jointly established by China and Singapore, and his ultimate goal was to take advantage of this shareholder style. Expand the family's business market in the Mainland.

As the deputy general manager of a state-owned company, Lai Xingting took advantage of his authority to act as an agent for the sale of products from enterprises in the development zone. On paper, there is quite a lot of room for profit, but Wei Min's subsequent words made Chen Xiao fall in love!

"In the beginning, the business went quite smoothly, and many business owners heard about Lai Xingting's origins, and he was also the vice president of the Eco-City Development Company, so most of them would be polite, and I didn't suffer any crimes, and the salary was quite considerable. At most, it's good to have a meal with someone, but I've been doing this work before, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. ”

Wei Min said calmly: "But in recent days, the business volume has declined rapidly, and there are fewer and fewer companies willing to agree to cooperate, and those companies that originally signed contracts also want to terminate cooperation." Lai Xingting's eyes were red, he jumped like thunder every day, and he poured his anger on the heads of the staff, and in the back, he even intensified his request that I go to those places in the nightclub to accompany customers, and I resigned in anger. ”

"I'm just working, not selling!"

Wei Min pouted unhappily, Chen Xiao saw it in her eyes, and vaguely felt that this woman had gone through that blow, and it seemed that she really had a tendency to change her mind and face, and she knew how to clean herself. …,

"How could a good business suddenly fail?"

"I don't know the specifics."

Wei Min groaned, "But ...... I heard a customer say, said that in their company, there is a shareholder who has found a sales channel in Nanyang, which can bypass Lai Xingting and sell directly, since it can make more money, there is no need for an agent at all, I think it is, where can this kind of businessless business be done for a long time, these foreigners, really think that we mainlanders are not long-sighted, and they deserve to be beaten into a pig's head this time! ”

Chen Xiao laughed and laughed, Wei Min smiled shyly, and the gap between them disappeared a lot.

After seeing Wei Min leave in a taxi, Chen Xiao drove back to the villa, was in the same kitchen as Xia Zijin, and began to work together to make the dishes one by one, one person washed and cut vegetables, and one person seasoned and burned the fire, which cooperated seamlessly.

In the midst of the laughter, several phone calls came in one after another at an inopportune time.

The first phone call was from Chen Yuanding's secretary Huang Rui, and the matter was so big that a foreigner, a senior executive of the company stationed in Xinjiapo, was violently beaten into the hospital, and it spread all over the streets and alleys almost overnight, and it was impossible for the dignitaries and dignitaries in the provincial capital to ignore it.

Huang Rui was instructed by his boss to inquire about the specific situation at that time, and learned that Chen Xiao was only righteous and courageous to stop Lai Xingting's violence against him, so he was relieved, fortunately, the prince was not jealous because of women's competition, whether it was human favor or legal reason, he would not be at a loss!

In the end, Huang Rui still smiled bitterly: "There have been a lot of things in the development zone recently, and I hope there will be no more complications." ”

Chen Xiao understands what he means, now that the corruption case of the national highway reconstruction is on the cusp, the direction of the investigation has shifted to the Eco-City Development Company, and Lai Xingting, as the deputy general manager, is branded as virtuous, and I don't know if it will have an unpredictable impact on the investigation, as well as the future of the development zone and the Eco-City!

even gave Gu Taihua, Li Chuanxiang and the faction behind them a chance!

"One thing is the same thing, and Lai Xingting is unreasonable first, in our land, he violated the legitimate rights and interests of others, and he should be punished."

Chen Xiao said with a smile: "As for the perpetrator of the violence against him, he can only be handed over to the police to arrest." ”

There are so many perpetrators, and now they are scattered in the huge Yunjiang City, it is quite good to be able to find one-tenth of them, and I don't know what year and month I have to wait!

Subsequently, Chen Xiao thought about it again and again and called Pei Yan, but the other party was already far away in Xinjiapo at this moment.

Knowing what happened, Pei Yan couldn't help but laugh, "This kid, after going to the mainland, he went unlucky three times and twice, and this time he was made into this virtue." Then he said, "You want me to come forward and do ideological work for him, right?" ”

Chen Xiao replied: "Now the development zone is an eventful autumn, and more things are better than less things." ”

"Hey, what a development zone, it's a political battlefield for those bureaucrats!" Pei Yan sighed and said, "Don't worry, it's on me, this matter is the fault of that kid, I will find pressure from the people in his family and let him swallow this dumb loss." ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Will you come back this year?" ”

"Probably not, after all, I, the general manager, are just going through the motions in name, and the Eco-City project has just started, so I don't have to do it myself." Pei Yan said with a smile: "Time has passed, I, the down-and-out young master who was kicked out of Sijiu City, can only try my best to make money in order to make a living, unlike you who can still be arbitrary and chic, and there are people who have a good future." ”

"It's not easy for everyone."

Chen Xiao said goodbye simply, Ling Yue's phone call followed, and he asked directly, "Wei Min was called to the hospital?" ”

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect the matter to spread to the development zone.

"It was Xing Liang who told me, and he just went to the city bureau to do something." Ling Yue said humbly: "I heard that you were there at the time, and you had a fight with that birdman, so I inquired about it casually, and I didn't mean anything else." ”…,

Chen Xiaowan said: "The swelling will go down overnight, if you don't feel at ease, go and see her in person." ”

"Let's talk about it." Ling Yue diverted the topic and said, "That fake foreign devil is still lying in the hospital, right?" ”

Hearing the reply, Ling Yue scolded sharply: "Eight lambs! Ya's arrears are cleaned up! ”

Chen Xiao heard the anger in his tone and reminded: "This is the end of the matter, don't mess around!" ”

Ling Yue didn't know if he had listened to it, so he muttered a few words and cut off the call.

Chen Xiao frowned, hoping that this kid wouldn't do anything stupid to be angry at the crown, and was about to turn back to the kitchen, when Xia Zijin had already walked out with a tray, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, go wash your hands, the dishes are all ready." ”

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly, and said in advance that he would cook and practice the meal, but he was busy calling.

Xia Zijin carefully placed the dishes on the countertop, his movements were elegant and virtuous, and he said softly and understandingly: "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway, just a few clicks, brother-in-law, you are a person who does big things, and it's better to touch pots and pans less." ”

"No matter how big it is, it's not as important as this last meal."

Chen Xiao looked at the tempting and delicious dishes, and said with emotion: "I remember that after I came to Yunjiang, the first serious meal I ate was cooked by you, and I ate it for a whole year. ”

Xia Zijin's wrist holding the soup bowl shook slightly, lowered his slender eyebrows, his cheeks were as red as the sunset, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito's chirping: "In the future...... There are still a lot of opportunities, as long as your brother-in-law wants to eat, it's good to go to Pearl City...... Otherwise, I'll rush back, and I'll be in the car anyway. ”

But as soon as the words fell, her forehead was gently flicked by Chen Xiao with her index finger!

"You're embarrassed to say, I'm embarrassed to listen, your sister knows, so you have to settle accounts with me!" Chen Xiao quipped: "You are determined to be a barrister, is it possible that you have to cook for me for the rest of your life?" ”

Xia Zijin pursed her lips tightly, and stroked her forehead, which was actually not painful, but suddenly felt that her heart was trembling, hanging her head, enduring shyness, hesitating with a few traces of melancholy, regret, and a hint of longing, her thoughts gradually became confused: Can you cook for a lifetime?
