I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard
Chapter 149: Meeting Xu Damao Again
A week later, Qin Huairu passed away in the hospital. On her deathbed, she held Sha Zhu's hand and begged him to take Bang Geng in if he came back. Otherwise, she would die with regrets!
Seeing that she was still so persistent, Sha Zhu could only bite his teeth and agree in front of her. Jingyi received the news and went to her funeral wearing sunglasses and a mask. If she didn't go, she was afraid that it would cause criticism in the future.
After arranging Qin Huairu's funeral, Jingyi took the little girl to the local police station and civil affairs department to apply for her guardian certificate, and then took the documents and went to Hong Kong with the little girl.
After retirement, Sha Zhu still worked as a chef in a private restaurant. He didn't have time to take care of the girl, and he didn't want to find another burden. Now that Jingyi was her guardian, he was relieved of a burden.
Xiaodang and his wife still live in the two-bedroom apartment in Tseung Kwan O with their eldest daughter, while Zhang Tao's parents take care of their youngest son. Now the houses in Hong Kong are extremely expensive, and this two-bedroom apartment is close to more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Xiaodang and his wife really can't afford a big house.
Xiaodang and his wife arranged for the two cousins to live in the same room. The difference in age was only one year. Jingyi helped Jia Honghong to obtain her identity and household registration, and sent her to Xiaodang's daughter's school so that the two sisters could go to school together.
Jingyi gave them 100,000 Hong Kong dollars every year as living expenses for Honghong, but Xiaodang and his wife quickly declined, saying that Honghong was also their niece and they had the obligation to support her.
"It's not easy for you two either. You still have two children to raise. I originally agreed to this, but now I have to increase your burden. How can I do this?"
Jingyi didn't allow them to refuse! If the problem can be solved with money, it's not a big deal. She also asked them to pay attention to the girl's character, so as not to cultivate an ungrateful person.
Jingyi still has a big house! Her mother Lou Xiaoe's sea view house in Kwun Tong, which is over 100 square meters, was transferred to her a long time ago. Now it is entrusted to a housing property service company, and she can take it back whenever she wants.
Lou Xiao'e had been clamoring to retire a few years ago. This year she is 59 years old. Jingyi asked her to retire, but she couldn't bear to do so! She was also prepared to look after the hotel for her daughter for another two years.
He Daqing and Tan Yali are an old couple, one is 85 years old and the other is 81 years old. In the past, the two of them often went out for a walk after dinner, but now that He Daqing's legs and feet are not very good, the two of them rarely go out.
Jingyi didn't dare to stay in Hong Kong any longer, and returned to Beijing after dealing with the girl's affairs. There were still a lot of things to deal with in the company, and she really couldn't get away.
Not long after she came back, the north entered a cold winter. He Daqing got up at night and caught a cold and had a fever. He was sent to the hospital the next day. The doctor said he had lung inflammation and that many medicines could not reduce the fever.
He stayed in the hospital for three days, but gradually lost consciousness. Tan Yali immediately felt that something was wrong, so she called Sha Zhu and Yu Shui. The doctor also issued a critical illness notice to the family. The patient was old and his body functions were aging, so he hoped that the family could be mentally prepared.
He Daqing died after staying in the hospital bed for about a week. At that time, 85 years old was considered a long life, so the family members did not feel too sad. Sha Zhu held a banner and smashed a pot to bid farewell to He Daqing.
After He Daqing left, Tan Yali seemed a little depressed. Her family also tried their best to squeeze out time to go home and accompany her so that she would not feel lonely at home.
Lou Xiao'e and Le Mingxuan discussed it and decided that after she turns 60 next year, she would officially retire and go home to take care of the elderly and children.
She asked Jingyi to take over as the chairman of the board of directors of Kyoto International Hotel, and she didn't have to go to the hotel to work. The current general manager of the hotel was very strong in his business, and she could rest assured to let him manage the hotel.
After so many years of operation, the middle and senior management of Kyoto International Hotel are all local talents in Sijiu City. It has been in line with the advanced international management. Even if the chairman Jingyi has not shown up, the hotel can still operate well.
It was almost the end of the year, and she had to be busy in Hong Kong and the mainland. Warner Book Publishing Company could no longer delay, so Jingyi could only close the door of her office and tell her secretary Lin Xiaoqi not to be disturbed. She hid in the space of the post station and started typing the manuscript.
A Song of Ice and Fire copied the fifth volume, A Dance with Dragons, with a total of 72 chapters and 750,000 words.
It took two days of intermittent work to finish the manuscript in the space. Jingyi called Warner Book Publishing Company to send someone to pick up the manuscript. She put on her mink coat and took her car keys to go home.
Walking on the Nine-Curve Bridge, she looked down at the small pond that had frozen over and the koi fish were sinking to the bottom. She quickly asked someone to go to the restaurant to get a bucket and use a scoop net to move the koi fish indoors, so that she could find a chance to put the koi fish in the space.
Everyone was working hard when snow started to fall from the sky. An employee ran in from outside and said that a person was lying at the gate of No. 95 Siheyuan.
The courtyards on both sides of Jingyi have gates, but they are rarely opened. Company personnel enter and exit through the main gate in the middle.
It's so cold, don't let anyone freeze to death at the door of your company. It's almost the end of the year, so don't make trouble for yourself.
Jingyi led two company employees and walked out of the company's main entrance, passing the screen wall. As expected, she saw a figure in a black cotton jacket lying on the steps at the entrance of No. 95 Siheyuan.
Two company employees ran over and shouted twice, but the figure didn't respond at all. Jingyi asked them to help the man up!
Just after turning the man over, Jingyi took a closer look. Wasn't this Xu Damao? Why did he come to her place?
There is a scene in the play where Xu Damao fainted in front of No. 95 Happy Home on New Year's Eve, and later Sha Zhu took him in. He also taught Xu Damao cooking, which made him change his ways and become a good person from then on.
"Boss! Should we call the police or an ambulance?" The two men suggested when they saw that the man did not open his eyes no matter how they shook him.
"No need! Go call two more people over and carry him to the small restaurant. I know this man!" Jingyi instructed them.
There was no conflict between her and Xu Damao, so she couldn't just stand by and watch. He looked like he was fainted from hunger, and a bowl of hot soup would be enough.
Then several company employees came over, carried Xu Damao into the company, and placed him in the small restaurant.
Jingyi quickly asked the chef in the restaurant to prepare a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup for Xu Damao to drink.
After drinking a bowl of warm brown sugar ginger soup, Xu Damao slowly opened his eyes. He looked around at the unfamiliar environment and fixed his gaze on Jingyi's face.
"Are you Lou Jingyi? Where am I?" Xu Damao recognized her at a glance and couldn't help but scream.
"Of course this is Nanluoguxiang. You fainted at the door of my company, and I couldn't let you freeze to death here, so I carried you to my company's restaurant."
Jingyi explained casually that she was considering how to place Xu Damao. Should she ask Qin Jingru to come and pick him up? These two have been divorced for many years!
When Xu Damao heard that this was a restaurant, he quickly looked around and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I walked all night from Daxing and haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night."
Jingyi asked the chef if there was anything left from lunch and asked him to heat it up and bring it over. Finally, the chef made a bowl of egg fried rice and egg drop soup for Xu Damao.
"Xu Damao! How did you end up like this? Why are you still here at Courtyard No. 95?"
Seeing him wolfing down his food, Jingyi asked him curiously, "Xu Damao is considered a very capable person in the courtyard. How did he end up in such a miserable state?"
