Chapter 8 Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking
Since there was only one college student like 201 Ning Qian left in the tea factory guest house, Aunt Chen always felt that this was a thunder that would explode sooner or later. Every day, she hopes that the upper authorities can send a notice for Xiao Ning to move out.
The Personnel Department and the General Office, from time to time, someone called to explain that Aunt Chen wanted to take more care of Ning Qian, Aunt Chen enthusiastically agreed, and muttered in her heart: "Why don't you take care of it yourself?" Don't you know how dangerous it is for a little girl to live here alone? ”
The guests of the guest house on the second floor came from all over the world, and some stinky men looked ruffian, and Aunt Chen herself was scared.
These people basically only stay for one or two nights, when and what can they do, Aunt Chen really has no bottom in her heart, and if she really does something, where can Aunt Chen alone resist it? Aunt Chen kept an eye on her and reported her worries to the leader of the tea factory behind the guest house, the superior department of the guest house.
The leaders of the tea factory also felt that this matter should still be taken seriously, after all, Xiao Ning was a big celebrity in the group headquarters, and if something happened, they were really difficult to explain. So the factory director added two people to the communication room at the gate of the factory every night shift, and agreed that as long as Aunt Chen next door called, they would rush over immediately.
Aunt Chen, of course, hopes that nothing will happen. Fortunately, Ning Qian is very regular and well-behaved, basically only participates in the company's activities, and has been staying in 201 since she came back, the door is locked, and she no longer comes out, and the phone calls to her are almost only her family, regular classmates and company leaders, and the social relationship is extremely simple.
But it's already past 9:30 p.m. when she returns to the dormitory today, so why is there a phone call so late? The female voice on the phone, with a sweet voice but a very impulsive tone, was very anxious to urge Aunt Chen to call Xiao Ning quickly. When Aunt Chen heard that it was a woman, she didn't think much about it, and went upstairs and knocked on the door.
Xiao Ning also felt very strange, usually no one would call him so late, because he was about to take a bath, Xiao Ning had to quickly put on his pajamas and go down to answer the phone with his slippers.
The call was from Luo Xia, and she asked Ning Qian very eagerly about the situation of visiting Bai Bai, who she was, what she said, and what her expression was. She was very dissatisfied with Ning Qian's assertion that she called Xiao Gong to go with her, saying that she had ruined the plan, and Ning Qian didn't know what it meant.
Luo Xia asked a lot and criticized a lot, and the whole phone call was very long. People who walked up and down the guest house had to look at Ning Qian a few more times, and a few men pointed at Ning Qian, making a malicious smile.
Ning Qian felt that something was wrong, so she said to Luo Xia on the phone: "It's inconvenient for me to talk more here, I'll talk to you again when I come to the company tomorrow!" Luo Xia on the other end of the phone seemed to be very unhappy, and was about to continue, Ning Qian hurriedly hung up the phone, ran back to 201, quickly locked the door tightly, and moved a chair to block the door.
Thinking about it, she was still a little uneasy, she checked the doors and windows again, and made sure that they were all tightly closed, and the curtains were pulled until there were no seams at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief, washed her hair and took a shower three times and twice, and did not dare to sleep in her pajamas, and deliberately changed into clothes that could go out at any time.
There was a commotion in the corridor, and then someone knocked on the door, at first Xiao Ning thought he was knocking on the door next door, but when he listened carefully, it turned out to be knocking on the door of 201! The louder and louder the knocking, it turned into a kick, and the more he kicked, the more energetic he became, there seemed to be two or three men, drunk and inarticulate, and shouted while kicking the door: "Beautiful girl, open the door, brothers are coming to accompany you!" It was accompanied by a wild laugh.
Ning Qian couldn't care about being scared anymore, and her mind was racing fast about what to do, in case they slammed the door open, would they pick up the chair and smash them, or scream for help? At this time, Ning Qian actually calmly thought about whether they would reach out from the window to screw the door lock inside, although they had checked it before and the window was closed, but after all, the window in the corridor was in disrepair and it was still easy to pry open.
She approached the window slightly, slowly lifted one corner of the curtain, and found, sure enough, a hand was reaching in, in the direction of the lock, trying to twist the ball handle. Ning Qian's eyes were quick, he picked up the boiling water bottle by the window, pulled out the lid, and poured it down towards that hand. I only heard the screams of killing pigs outside the window, the pot exploded outside, and then I heard Aunt Chen shouting: "What are you doing? ”
Hearing Aunt Chen's voice, Ning Qian knew that she was scared and began to tremble, but she couldn't figure out the situation outside and didn't dare to open the door. There was a noise and chaos outside the door, and the sounds of reprimands, quarrels, police cars, and all kinds of noises became a pot of porridge.
Ning Qian quickly packed her luggage, thinking that there would definitely be no way to live here, at this time, she wanted to rush back to her parents all at once! However, when such a thing happens to them, how uneasy they must be!
The door of 201 was opened with a key, and Aunt Chen rushed to the front, hugged Ning Qian, and was so anxious that she was about to cry, and kept asking: "You're not scared, Xiao Ning, aren't you scared?" Behind Aunt Chen were five or six people, including the director of the first factory, the head of the security unit, and the officer. Not long after, Jian Tong, the deputy section chief of the personnel department, also arrived, and it was the factory director who called him because he was afraid that he would not be able to take responsibility.
Section Chief Jian went to the Institute of Foreign Trade with Mr. Shi and Chen Ke to enroll students, and he knew Ning Qian's situation very well. His expression was very serious, and after asking about it, he said to the factory director and Aunt Chen: "Xiao Ning definitely can't live here anymore, you have worked hard." Now I'll take her away, and then the headquarters will arrange her residence. ”
When Aunt Chen heard this, she folded her hands and shouted, "Thank God! Seeing Xiao Ning walking slowly behind Section Chief Jian, Aunt Chen suddenly couldn't help it and cried out loud.
Ning Qian turned around, walked up to Aunt Chen, and said to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, thank you for the boiling water bottle that saved me." Thank you for taking care of me all the time. Aunt Chen cried even more sadly, and said, "Xiao Ning, you are a good boy, you were scared today, right?" Aunt Chen is really scared when she thinks about it now! ”
Ning Qian sat in Section Chief Jian's car, without saying a word, not knowing what to say, and not even being particularly afraid. She didn't know where she was going to stay tonight.
Section Chief Jian took Ning Qian to a very high-end hotel near the headquarters, and Mr. Shi was already sitting in the lobby. Mr. Shi said: "I really didn't expect it, how could such a thing happen!" Xiao Ning, you have worked hard! ”
Mr. Shi and Section Chief Jian, accompanied by the hotel manager, came to a guest room, and they repeatedly explained to the hotel manager that they wanted to ensure safety, and the hotel manager nodded again and again to reassure them.
Section Chief Jian inspected the room inside and out with a sharp gaze like a policeman, and after making sure that there was no problem, he and Mr. Shi discussed quietly outside the room for a while, and said to Ning Qian: "This is the company's agreement hotel, and you can live here with peace of mind until the company makes suitable arrangements for your dormitory." ”
Peace? How can it be safe? Ning Qian spent all night thinking about what happened. She was amazed that she could pour boiling water on someone's hands, how could she never find out that she was so ruthless? Is such a self a ruthless person? Also, the tea factory guest house actually said goodbye in this way, which is really unelegant and decent......
A night's cranky thinking made Ning Qian, who went to work the next day, a little listless. What happened last night is known to only a small number of people. After Director Xu heard Section Chief Jian's report, he was shocked and said repeatedly: "How can this be, it's terrible!" On the spot, he decided to get off work in the afternoon and take Ning Qian back to her house first.
But before she could eat lunch, Ning Qian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Staggering to the infirmary, the experienced Dr. Li categorically ordered: "Hurry up and send it to the hospital, it may be appendicitis." What I didn't expect was that as soon as I was admitted to Huaqiao Hospital, it was acute appendicitis, and the doctor immediately decided to operate early the next morning.
Ning Qian lay on the operating table in a daze, and when she woke up, she asked, "Is the operation done?" Director Xu excitedly held Ning Qian's hand and said, "Xiao Ning, you finally woke up, you have been in a coma for three days!" It turned out that Ning Qian was allergic to anesthesia and almost didn't wake up.
After the surgery, you need to get down and walk around to promote gas, especially people like Ning Qian who have been lying down for more than three days. Aunt Qiong and Aunt Fen helped Ning Qian to walk slowly, Ning Qian suddenly felt that it was so dark in front of her, and said weakly: "I can't see clearly...... Aunt Qiong comforted softly: "You don't have to see clearly, we will help you." Before Aunt Qiong's words fell, Ning Qian's legs fell to the ground softly, which frightened Aunt Qiong and Aunt Fen to call the doctor.
When she woke up again, Ning Qian was plugged in with an oxygen tube. It turned out that Ning Qian was severely anemic. Ning Qian was ashamed that she was originally powerful and martial, and suddenly became Sister Lin.
There was an endless stream of colleagues who came to visit Ning Qian. Although Ning Qian could only live in the corridor due to the shortage of beds, there were flowers and nutritional products everywhere beside the narrow bed, and the attending doctor sighed: "It seems that you are very popular." "The aunts of the general office took turns to take care of Xiao Ning, and Director Xu stayed by her side every night when Xiao Ning didn't wake up.
When Section Chief Jian came to visit Ning Qian, he joked with her: "You know that you have no place to live, so you ran to the hospital to live, right?" "Where Ning Qian will live after being discharged from the hospital has become a concern for the leaders.
Director Xu discussed with Sister Zou, who had just been transferred from the Green Tea Department to the General Office, and decided to let Ning Qian live at Sister Zou's house for a period of time after she was discharged from the hospital, and Sister Zou would help her recuperate.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, it was Ning Qian's twenty-first birthday on her ID card, and her ID card was written on the lunar calendar as the solar calendar, and even Ning Qian herself didn't remember it, but at Sister Zou's house, Director Xu, Mr. Shi, Section Chief Jian and Sister Zou's family sat around and watched Ning Qian blow out the birthday candles. At that moment, Ning Qian was moved to tears when she received so much love for herself.
The company quickly arranged a dormitory for Ning Qian: it was in the Tianhe family area, two rooms on the first floor. Although the structure of the house is not very reasonable, there is a walkway leading to the pump room in the middle, and the maintenance personnel need to enter and exit at any time, but as soon as the door of the two rooms is closed, it is their own small world, and the two rooms together are far more than seven square meters, and you can also walk to and from work. Ning Qian is really a blessing in disguise now.
Ning Qian's first call after recovering and going to work was to her parents, and on the phone, Ning Qian felt what it meant to be lacking in qi: she had tried her best to speak, but her parents said that her voice was too small to hear.
Ning Qian told her parents that she had an appendix operation, and she was so scared that they were about to come over. Director Xu told his parents about the whole process and the company's various arrangements on the phone, and his parents were moved and explained that Ning Qian must work hard and be worthy of the care of the leadership and organization.
Ning Qian didn't know if Bai Tian knew about this series of things that had happened. However, the frequency of Luo Xia coming to Ning Qian has greatly increased, and almost all about the situation during the day is Luo Xia telling Ning Qian.
Ning Qian gradually felt that something was wrong, as if the roles had changed: Luo Xia became the little girl who had just fallen in love, fell in love with Bai Day, and came to Ning Qian to talk about everything that happened to the person she liked. However, Luo Xia is a person with a husband and children, and she is so much older than Daylight, how can it be? Ning Qian patted her head and blamed herself for having such a ridiculous feeling.
The Beijing head office came to the leader, and Mr. Shi and the general office had to arrange a reception as usual, eating, singing, and dancing at the art stars. Ning Qian was definitely going to go, but she didn't understand why Luo Xia and Bai Tian also went this time.
Luo Xia has been coaxing Ning Qian and Bai Tian in front of everyone, making them dance, sing together, and pulling them to a piano and taking a group photo with a Polaroid – this is also the only group photo of Ning Qian and Bai Day.
When taking pictures, Ning Qian was smiling, but her face was ugly during the day. Luo Xia handed the photo that was slowly developing into Ning Qian's hand, and said with a smile: "How about it, can you take a photo with him yourself?" Or I have a way! Then he suddenly said loudly to the whole room: "Don't you think Xiao Ning and Bai Tian are very compatible?" Today, I'm announcing: I'll be their matchmaker and let the two of them get together! ”
Bai Tian's face turned pale, and he whispered: "You don't want to be like this, Ning Qian and I don't need you to be a matchmaker." Although his voice was small, everyone present, including the leaders from Beijing, heard it. Everyone looked embarrassed, and the leader smiled and played a round: "Yes, let them do their own things." ”
Luo Xia triumphantly approached Bai Tian's side, gently teased his face with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Yo, you're still angry, don't you like Xiao Ning?" Xiao Ning and I are the best, she told me: she likes you very much, she likes you so much! ”
Even a fool can hear that her tone is provocative and provocative. Everyone's eyes turned to Ning Qian, Ning Qian's face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn't even know how she left Yixing, let alone how she reacted during the day.
After the signing ceremony of the joint venture, Mr. Fu came to see Mr. Shi more frequently, and while waiting, he communicated more with Ning Qian. Mr. Fu told Ning Qian that he had sent two very formal faxes to Mr. Shi, one inviting Ning Qian to work at Youjia's UK headquarters and the other inviting Ning Qian to work at Youjia's Asia-Pacific headquarters in Singapore, both for a period of one year, but Mr. Shi refused on the grounds that he was too far away. Mr. Fu said he planned to send another fax inviting Ms. Ning to work in Hong Kong.
Ning Qian thought it was incredible! Going to Hong Kong, that's going abroad, how can he be, such a pie in the sky can fall on himself?
Besides, even if Mr. Fu is willing to invite, can Shi always agree?
By the way, why did Bai Tian and Luo Xia appear together in the art star last night, and the atmosphere was so weird?
(Writer's Note:
1. Seeing Ning Qian in danger in the 201 dormitory, readers and friends who asked her why she didn't call or call the police on her mobile phone: It was the beginning of 1994, mobile phones were not yet popular, and there were only two public telephones in the entire guest house.
2. Ask why you are going to Hong Kong to go abroad, this is 1994, Hong Kong has not yet returned. )
