Chapter 45: Retirement [End of this Volume]
The theory of six degrees of separation: you can't have more than five people between you and any one stranger, that is, you can get to know any stranger through a maximum of five people.
Whether this theory is correct or not, Qi Lin does not know.
But he did see Mo Monroe, who should have been unable to fight him in this life.
And Lu Lily.
This is very strange, because Qi Lin and Lu Baihe have a very shallow relationship, they are not people along the way at all, and Lu Lily's emotional intelligence is not enough to make up for these differences.
As for Qi Lin, he didn't want to compromise, to put it bluntly, his feelings didn't reach that point.
He thought that they would forget each other in this life, but he didn't expect to meet again in the end.
Since we have met, we have to talk about it.
"Academician Qi, I've admired the name for a long time. Mo Monroe stretched out her right hand to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin glanced at Mo Monroe, and the clarity in his eyes made Mo Monroe feel like he had been pierced.
But she didn't show anything out of the ordinary.
"Fortunately. ”
A smile appeared on Qi Lin's face, and then he beckoned to Ning Xi in the distance.
Ning Xi quickly walked over.
"Met a friend?"
This is the annual meeting held by Ningxi Pharmaceutical Company, Qi Lin was invited to attend, of course, he didn't make a high-profile speech or anything, he just sat quietly in the corner to pass the time.
Unexpectedly, Mo Monroe and Du Lily came to the door.
Qi Lin knew that Mo Monroe was difficult, and he didn't bother to have any more intersections with this former mother-in-law, so he directly went to the main palace to solve the siege and show his attitude.
"No, it's the first time I've met, and I want to ask if it's a customer of the company?"
Qi Lin's answer made Mo Menglu and Lu Baihe's expressions a little stiff.
They didn't expect Qi Lin to be so faceless.
Especially in Mo Monroe.
Under her questioning, Lu Baihe admitted that she knew Qi Lin and had an affair.
Is this man such a scumbag?
Mo Monroe glanced at Lu Baihe suspiciously, and found that her daughter's eyes were already foggy.
Ning Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and lightly opened Zhu~ lips and said: "You are really a noble person who forgets things, when our company was established, we once sent an invitation to Miss Lu Baihe, and you even forgot about it?" It's just that Miss Lu politely refused later, so we didn't have further contact. ”
At that time, when the pharmaceutical company was established, Qi Lin did send an invitation to Lu Baihe.
Mo Monroe also recalled this incident.
It seems that it was vetoed by Lu Hao at the beginning.
Lu Baihe explained anxiously: "That's not the case, my dad said he wouldn't let me invest." ”
Qi Lin and Ning Xi looked at each other and smiled.
There are some things that are missed and missed.
Time has passed, and it can no longer be remedied.
Moreover, a person who can't control his life may be liked by some people, but it is difficult for a person like Qi Lin to have this kind of emotion.
It is said that Ma Bao men are annoying, but if girls can't be independent, they are not liked.
The reason why he was with Lu Baihe at the beginning was because Mo Monroe gave Lu Baihe a trick behind his back and presented Qi Lin with a completely different Lu Lily.
But when the two sides were together, Qi Lin naturally discovered the true ~ phase, and the contradiction between him and Lu Baihe became bigger and bigger, and finally it was out of control.
People who are not suitable, barely together, will not end well.
Seeing Qi Lin and Ning Xi like this, the mist in Lu Baihe's eyes became even thicker.
Mo Monroe sighed lightly.
She had a hard time at the beginning, and it was inevitable that she also had self-pity in her heart. Now that the situation is better, she doesn't want her daughter to follow her old path again, so she doesn't deliberately cultivate her daughter at all.
Now it seems that if you have higher requirements for your daughter, you still can't completely leave it alone.
"This matter is a matter of our family's eyes, Lily did mention this matter at home, but unfortunately my husband and I didn't pay attention to it, it's a pity. ”
"It's a pity, you're doing pretty well now, aren't you?"
Qi Lin didn't speak, Ning Xi said on his behalf.
Mo Monroe didn't humiliate herself anymore, she was good at dealing with men, but she was not good at dealing with women.
After a few more words with the two, Mo Monroe pulled Lu Baihe, who wanted to say something more, away.
Looking at the backs of the two of them in the distance, Ning Xi was thoughtful.
"Qi Lin, how could you fall in love with Lu Lily, do you have such bad taste?" Ning Xi suddenly asked.
Qi Lin smiled bitterly.
"It was an accident. ”
"Is it her mother's ghost?" Ning Xi actually noticed.
Qi Lin glanced at Ning Xi in surprise.
"Seems to be right. ”
"How do you tell?"
"There's always a special feeling between women and women. And green tea is a creature that happens to be a woman's natural enemy. Having said that, you actually ignored her temptation~ temptation, which is rare, after all, the mother and daughter well. Ning Xi said meaningfully.
Qi Lin: "...... Am I that kind of person in your mind?"
"Just kidding, but her mother does give me a bad feeling, you don't have to contact her in the future. ”
"I didn't plan to contact her. ”
The mother-in-law needs to rely on the strong to continue to climb up, and she and Qi Lin are not the same kind of people.
Qi Lin prefers to be the one who is strong.
As much as he admired her for being able to crawl out of the mire, he would never do it that way.
The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Qi Lin's face suddenly changed, and he coughed continuously.
He immediately took out the handkerchief he was carrying and put it in front of his mouth, and half a minute later, Qi Lin saw blood stains on the handkerchief.
Ning Xi also saw it, and she was taken aback: "What's the matter? What's wrong with you?"
"Radiation reaction, don't worry. Qi Lin comforted.
"How can I not be worried, why do you still have a radiation reaction?" Ning Xi couldn't understand at all.
"Because doing research is a high-risk job. Qi Lin's tone was very calm.
The lifespan of scientists is much smaller than that of ordinary people.
They could die from a laboratory explosion, they could die from an assassination by an enemy country, and even more likely from radiation.
Behind the atomic bombing of our country back then, almost all of those nuclear experts had physical problems, large and small.
There are always a group of people who are silently making contributions to this country that ordinary people don't know.
In that case, why can't it be me?
At least, this life was meant to be earned.
"You could have avoided it. ”
"It's inevitable, Xixi, don't forget, I'm just an ordinary person in this life. ”
Being a hero always has a price.
It is precisely because of the high cost that the hero's admirability is highlighted.
"Don't cry, Xixi, I still have time, I won't die now. Moreover, even if I die, I will die well in this life. ”
In this life, how many people can choose the way of death?
He did, what is there to regret?
"I'll make it up to you for the rest of the time, though there's not much I can do. My family and country, the best version of myself, in this life, I am very greedy, but I am also very happy. What I like the most is who I am in this life. ”
He can be behind the shadows, he can kill monstrous, he can be vertical and horizontal, and he can go against the grain.
Qi Lin's principles were never high.
But, if you have a choice, who doesn't want to be a man who stands up to the sky?
Pitching is worthy of the world, but the king of the world, won the name before and after his death.
Vigorous, no regrets.
Even if you burn yourself.
It's lucky.
Qi Lin firmly believes this.
"Someone has to stand up, in the past, now, and in the future. In the past, when we were ordinary people, it was those scientists, soldiers, policemen, and public welfare enthusiasts who silently paid for us...... After I got the adventure, the top ones were Yuan Shi Tianzun, Nuwa Niangniang, Dasheng, and Yang Jian......
We have been enjoying their protection with peace of mind, but they will die and we will grow. There has never been a quiet time, but someone has carried the weight for us. We need to learn to accept and grow. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If I have that ability, why can't the person who carries the weight be me?"
Of course, that would be tiring.
But what a glorious.
