Chi Qingtai finished eating breakfast in this weird atmosphere, went to the bathroom to wash up, and saw that Xie Shula's garbage on the table had been packed and placed at the door.

Chi Qingtai was a little embarrassed: "I'll come." ”

"It's just easy," Xie Shu didn't pay attention to it, he wiped the table clean, put the items back in place, and talked about business, "How's Auntie's situation?" ”

Chi Qingtai's expression returned to seriousness, he was silent for two seconds, and his tone was a little low: "The tumor that was cut off before recurred, compressing the nerve and causing a coma. ”

Xie Shuyan: "Malignant tumor? ”

"Well," Chi Qingtai nodded, "surgery can't completely eradicate it, even if it was cut cleanly at the time, it will grow back in a few years." However, medical chemotherapy cannot completely kill cancer cells, and can only be treated for a long time. ”

However, the continuous operation and dialysis chemotherapy were too heavy on the body, and the subsequent onset time became shorter and shorter, and his mother is now living in the hospital and is out of normal life.

Chi Qingtai hopes to develop drugs to treat diseases while also making patients live with more dignity.

At first, Chi Kiyotai was ambitious.

He sold most of his investment shares and recruited troops to build a laboratory. At the time, he thought that their new medicine would not only help his mother, but also many others who had the same disease.

But with the lack of funds in the laboratory, and with all kinds of negative comments from the outside world, he began to wonder if he was doing the right thing in the first place.

Especially when the pharmaceutical has not been effective for a long time, and his mother's health is deteriorating, he is entangled in heavy work and cannot get out.

Ji Qingtai occasionally thinks that maybe spending more time with his mother is the right thing to do.

But he only thought about it occasionally, and he didn't regret it so much that he could only move on.

It was almost noon when Zhuo stopped finally waking up.

Chi Qingtai put down his work and notified the doctor to come over for examination.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I don't feel anything, I just got some sleep." Zhuo Zhu smiled weakly, his spirit better than he had imagined.

Chi Qingtai breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Qingqian also came to see you, and I will go back in the morning when I have work in the laboratory." ”

"Yes, work is important," Zhuo stopped waving his hand, "I can't die for the time being anyway, so let her stop wasting time on me." ”

Chi Qingtai did not answer, the patient has his own view of life and death, and in front of the parties, he said that no matter how much he said, he would be weak.

"Who is this?" Zhuo Zhu raised his head and finally saw Xie Shuyun on the side.

Xie Shuyun took a step forward and took the initiative to say, "Mom, I'm Xie Shuyun, just call me Xiao Xie." ”

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a bouquet of flowers and handed it over, it was still Zhuo Zhu's favorite sunflower.

Zhuo stopped for a moment, and then laughed happily: "Xiao Xie is quite romantic." ”

Chi Qingtai was confused, why didn't he remember that Xie Shuyan had bought flowers and came in? His mother wanted to chat with Xie Shu and instructed him to put the flowers in the vase.

When he came back, Zhuo Zhu had already chatted with Xie Shu for a while.

"How old is Xiao Xie this year?"

"I'm just 30 years old this year."

"It just so happens that Xiaotai will be 30 next year. Thank you, are you busy with work? Will it be difficult to take time off when you come over a working day? ”

"Fortunately, my friend and I have a private hospital, so it's more quiet when we don't have surgery."

"You're a surgeon, huh?" Zhuo Zhu was a little happy, and couldn't help but say more, "I was also a doctor before, and I was in the first hospital of the city at that time, and I was really busy when I was busy, and I often stayed up all night and had to continue to work during the day......

It was rare for the mother to be so happy, and Chi Qingtai stood quietly aside without disturbing them to chat.

"We occasionally do," Xie Shuyun followed, "the day before I went on a blind date with Qingtai, I was on duty all night, and I had two more surgeries during the day, and I was a full two hours late. ”

Zhuo Zhu laughed: "He didn't blame you, did he?" ”

Xie Shu shook his head couldly, and said with some exaggeration: "He was angry for a long time, and I coaxed him back for a long time." ”

Chi Qingtai: ?

Where is he angry? Chi Qingtai glared at Xie Shulazy, but Zhuo Zhu laughed even louder.

She has been hospitalized all year round, her social circle has been fixed, there are no entertainment activities, and she has not heard anything new for a long time.

"Xiaotai just looks cold," Zhuo Shu said to Xie Shuyun with a smile, "but it's actually very soft-hearted and easy to coax." ”

Xie Shuyan didn't know what he thought, and he felt the same way: "That's the case." ”

"Mom, the doctor is here." There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Chi Qingtai interrupted the conversation in time, and Zhuo Zhu was still a little reluctant.

After the examination, the doctor and Ji Qingtai stood by the bedside to discuss the condition.

Zhuo stopped and shouted Xie Shuyi: "Xiao Xie, you let the nurse come in." ”

Xie Shulaan went out to call the nurse, and then he knew that Zhuo stopped and wanted to go to the bathroom.

After Chi Qingtai saw off the doctor, he saw Zhuo Zhu being helped up by the nurse. Her vision was blocked by the nurse, and she didn't see the slippers on the ground, and she tripped over.

"Be careful!" Chi Qingtai hurriedly stretched out his hand, and at the last moment, Zhuo stopped supporting Xie Shuyun on the side.

Xie Shuyun caught it firmly with his backhand, and looked up at Chi Qingtai on the side.

The latter was obviously stunned, with a lost expression on his face, he turned his face away from his mother to see it, but it fell into Xie Shuyan's eyes in great detail.

Zhuo Zhu didn't notice Chi Qingtai's loss, said thank you to Xie Shuyun, and asked the nurse to help her to the bathroom.

Chi Qingtai wanted to do something for her, and fetched water to help her wash her hands and face.

Zhuo Zhu shook his head and asked him to hand over the face towel to the nurse.

Chi Qingtai stiffened his face and insisted on doing it himself.

Zhuo stopped shaking his head and gently stopped him: "I am your own mother, I understand your intentions, and you don't have to force yourself in this kind of thing." ”

Chi Qingtai's hands trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't insist anymore after all.

Zhuo Zhu's energy was limited, and he had to rest after lunch, and Chi Qingtai and Xie Shuyun then left the hospital.

The breakfast packing box was still piled up at the door, Xie Shuyun was about to take away the garbage, but Chi Qingtai picked up the garbage bag before him.

Xie Shu was stunned for a moment: "You are not ......"

"What?" Chi Qingtai raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were cold.

Xie Shuyi: "Don't you feel dirty about this garbage?" ”

Chi Qingtai glanced at him, and his tone was a little cold: "Even if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, you have to throw away garbage." ”

Xie Shuyi's mind came to mind with the expression of loss that Chi Qingtai was not chosen by his mother just now.

He asked, "Have you considered seeing a psychiatrist for treatment?" ”

After being silent for a while, Chi Qingtai spoke: "I've seen it, it's useless." ”

Xie Shuyun: "Maybe you can change the psychiatrist." ”

"Let's talk about it." Ji Qingtai was not interested and obviously didn't want to mention this issue.

Xie Shuyun wanted to introduce himself to a psychiatrist, but seeing Chi Qingtai's face full of resistance, he finally stopped talking.

If we continue to talk about it, it will be a bit out of bounds.

Ji Qingtai once saw two psychiatrists, the first treatment lasted three months, and the second treatment lasted a whole year, but all ended in failure.

Such a stubborn patient was very distressing to the psychiatrist, and in the end, both parties were very tired, and Ji Qingtai terminated the treatment again.

After that, Ji Qingtai no longer saw a psychiatrist.

Although it seems a little incredible to others, he has lived with illness for many years and has already found a suitable way of life.

Except on rare occasions when physical contact with multiple people at the same time can cause panic, he spends most of his time acting like a normal person.

It's just that recalling the scene where his mother asked Xie Shuyan for help today, he felt a little bad in his heart.

Chi Qingtai opened the drawer, took out the psychiatrist's business card, and looked at it carefully.

"Boss," Secretary Zhou knocked on the door and came in, "the entrepreneur will come out in an hour after the roadshow, and we can go." ”

Chi Qingtai threw the business card into the drawer, and returned to a cold and majestic appearance: "Let's go." ”

As the head of Greater China at Shansheng Capital, Chi often meets with entrepreneurs to listen to them talk about their business plans, and then select valuable projects to invest in.

Roadshows put together many projects for public display, which not only increases the exposure of entrepreneurs, but also saves the time of venture capital institutions looking for projects.

The roadshow was organized by a financial media and invited Chi Qingtai as a guest, and when Chi Qingtai arrived, the scene was already crowded, and many entrepreneurs cast excited eyes on him.

Chi Qingtai sat down in the middle of the first row, on the left was a friend from a domestic investment bank, and the person on the right had not yet arrived, with a name tag on the table that read: Xie Yan, partner of Qingyan Venture Capital.

A minute before the opening, the man next door finally arrived, quite young, with a pair of crooked smiling eyes.

Chi Qingtai didn't know him, but the man seemed to have something to say to him, held it for an hour, and finally came over during the tea break.

"Sister-in-law is also there?"

Chi Qingtai raised an eyebrow.

"I'm Xie Yan," the boy pointed to himself, "Xie Shuyan's cousin." ”

Chi Qingtai greeted politely: "Hello." ”

Xie Yan smiled at him, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I didn't expect to meet here, and we will have a light meal together after the end?" I'm new to the industry, and I would like to ask you for advice on some questions. ”

"I can't talk about advice," Chi Qingtai didn't hesitate, "I'm just a few years older than you, you have more experience, you can exchange experience." ”

"That's great," Xie Yan took out his mobile phone to look at the restaurant, and asked again, "Sister-in-law, do you have any taboos?" ”

"There is no taboo," Chi Qingtai said again, "you don't need to call your sister-in-law, you can just call your name." ”

"Then I'll call you brother together," Xie Yan turned out a barbecue restaurant, "How about eating barbecue?" Recently, several of my friends have been to the Internet celebrity store, and they all said that the taste is very good, but the environment is a little worse. If you don't want to eat barbecue, then we can go to the private restaurant in the east gate, which tastes good. ”

Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, Chi Qingtai nodded: "Let's barbecue." ”

……

At 8 p.m., there was already a long queue outside the barbecue stall, and they waited for more than ten minutes before they were seated.

The environment is really simple, this shop is very small, and most of the diners are outside in the open space, setting up a shed to shelter from the wind. But because the charcoal fire is strong, it doesn't make people feel cold.

Chi Qingtai sat down in his coat, and soon, the waiter brought the menu and dishes and chopsticks.

After ordering, the two chatted about work for a while. It didn't take long for the waiter to serve the barbecue.

The fresh lamb skewers are fat and thin, and they are scorched and oily, and the taste is really good.

Chi Qingtai has a bad stomach and doesn't eat much of this greasy thing, so he couldn't help but eat a meat skewer today, and was amazed for a while.

"How's that, it's not bad, right?" Xie Yan asked him with a mouth full of red oil.

Chi Qingtai nodded: "It's really delicious." ”

"I called my brother before, but he didn't come," Xie Yan took out his mobile phone with a smug face, "Wait for me to make a video and envy him." ”

The brother in his mouth is Xie Shuyun?

Ji Qingtai raised his head in some surprise, just as the video was connected, and his face appeared on the screen at the other end.

Xie Shuyun had just finished an operation, he was tired and hungry, and Xie Yan just happened to bump into the muzzle.

Xie Shuyi answered the phone with an unkind expression: "You'd better have something to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Chi Qingtai on the other side of the camera.

A very simple barbecue stall, surrounded by heat, Chi Qingtai sat at the table, eating mutton skewers.

"Chi Qingtai?"

Before Xie Shuyun could see it clearly, Xie Yan's voice interjected inappropriately.

"Brother, I'm eating with my sister-in-law outside, how can I envy the store I told you about before?" Xie Yan moved his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the desktop to announce the name of the dish, "Lamb skewers, charcoal-grilled prawns, tiger skin chicken feet, garlic oysters......"

Xie Shuyan found out about the bad environment of the store and frowned: "How can you take him to eat at the stall?" ”

"What's wrong with the stalls? Do you look down on working people? Xie Yan drank two bottles of wine, and his sister-in-law was by his side, and people also followed the gall fat child, "It's also very expensive to masturbate now, okay?" You can check it out to know how long it will take to queue up for this house, and I still have people to eat it on their behalf. ”

It was impossible for Xie Shuyun to tell him that Chi Qingtai had a habit of cleanliness, but said: "Chi Qingtai has a bad stomach, and the things outside are not clean, so he can't eat more." ”

"This is what they promised me," Xie Yan said, pointing the camera at Chi Qingtai, "Sister-in-law, my brother is worried that you will have diarrhea from eating a stall." ”

Chi Qingtai is eating charcoal-grilled shrimp, the shrimp here is grilled with the skin removed, the meat is tender and sweet, and the taste is better than many high-end restaurants he eats.

Chi Qingtai swallowed the shrimp meat, looked up and said, "Thank you for your concern, I know it in my heart." ”

"See?" Xie Yan became proud, "Sister-in-law likes it too." ”

Xie Shu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said directly: "Send me the address." ”

Xie Yan sent the address over, looked up and said to Chi Qingtai: "My brother is also coming, it seems that he was attracted by my barbecue." ”

Since he's here to eat barbecue, he shouldn't have anything to do. Chi Qingtai put down his chopsticks: "Then I'll go first, you eat slowly." ”

"That's leaving?" Xie Yan raised his head in surprise, "Aren't you waiting for him to come?" ”

Chi Qingtai buttoned his coat and nodded: "An entrepreneur contacted me just now, I'll go and meet him." ”

People had jobs to discuss, and Xie Yan couldn't keep them, so he had to let Chi Qingtai leave.

So half an hour later, when Xie Shu rushed to the barbecue restaurant, only Xie Yan sat there alone.

"Brother, what do you want to eat? We've all been cold before, so let the boss bake it for you. ”

Xie Shu's lazy gaze swept around: "What about Chi Qingtai?" ”

Xie Yan: "I said I was going to meet the investors and left." ”

Xie Shuyi ran over for a while, but he didn't expect to see anyone. He was a little uncomfortable, but he remembered that he really didn't tell Chi Qingtai to come over, and he didn't let Chi Qingtai wait for him.

Xie Shuyi pulled out the stool and sat down in the position of Chi Qingtai just now.

The table was changed next to the customer, and the delicately dressed woman scalded the bowl with boiling water, complaining about the hygiene: "This shop is really delicious, but it is not very clean." ”

Friend: "It doesn't matter, I'm not a clean thing anyway." ”

Xie Shuyi asked Xie Yan: "Has Chi Qingtai ever scalded the bowl?" ”

"I didn't expect you to become your father's boyfriend after you got married," Xie Yan finished teasing, and changed his words a second before Xie Shu's seizure, "I remember no, he opened the plastic packaging and used it." ”

You have to wear gloves outside, and it will be uncomfortable to be touched by people through your clothes, but you can also throw garbage and eat barbecue outdoors?

Xie Shuyi remembered the scene he saw in the camera again.

Half an hour ago, Chi Qingtai sat in this place, eating the charred meat skewers slowly, where there was a little bit of cleanliness.
