"Her father, don't let Qiao Xiaoqiao fly around on the balcony, our daughter's painting is not done yet!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take Qiao Xiaoqiao to wander around the neighborhood."

"Come back early, I'll wash the vegetables first."

Qi Xi's father held the birdcage behind his back, freed his other hand to flick Qi Xi's forehead, and then slipped away laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, with a series of roars from Qi Xi's mother behind him ——Qi Yantai!Qi Xi is busy, so don't bully her.

Qi Xi, who was on the phone, was forced to pause, and helplessly explained to the president in the video: "It's okay, my dad went for a walk with the parrot."

The president narrowed his eyes, and said in sign language: "The name of the parrot is very festive, you must have chosen it."

The president is a woman over forty years old. She wears a pair of glasses of the same style as a strict teacher, but she doesn't have the airs of a strict teacher. Red-cheeked parrot.

"When I first brought Xiao Qiao home, my dad stubbornly refused to raise it, saying that raising parrots was too noisy and there were bird droppings on the balcony. But now that Xiao Qiao has become his own daughter, I have to stand aside too. " Qi Xi looked at the president who was getting thinner and thinner in the video, and said with concern: "I'm really sorry that you have to work on the affairs of the meeting all by yourself, or..."

"No, I protected you back then to prevent you from being the target of public criticism. Now the situation is unstable. Don't show your hole cards unless you have to. When people are at the end of the road, the hole cards are life-saving talismans. If you throw them out too early, you will become a talisman." It's a reminder." The president was not slow or anxious when signing the sign language, and at the end he raised an orchid finger at Qi Xi, dispelling Qi Xi's worries with practical actions.

The full name of the president of the Mermaid Self-Government Committee is Wei Xin. Although she is short and small, she acts vigorously and vigorously. Qi Xi feels that if she is not the president and can only rely on a wheelchair to travel, she must also be a person who walks like Qi Qiao.

Back then when Wei Xin kept Qi Xi in the First Special Hospital, she was not so frail and sick. Although she had limited mobility, her body was strong and strong. In just one night, she overwhelmed the entire committee, and at the same time, she tried her best to send Qi Xi there. Went to college.

Qi Xi clearly remembered that Wei Xin said to everyone——The little girl has studied so hard for so many years, and she persisted in finishing the exam after being so painful. Are you going to let her watch her beloved university close to her?It's hard enough for us mermaids, do you still want to self-castrate?

"I checked the girl you mentioned a few days ago, and I did find some problems." Wei Xin put away his joke and sat upright and signed, "I don't know if she is alone. Follow her to check, and all kinds of hidden dangers come one after another. First, the waiting sonic transmission tower in the university city was broken for a long time but no one reported it for repair, and many college students were forced to inject neurotoxins to join the anti-fish organization... We even found out that there is a committee in your school The elders of the inner courtyard."

"What are the elders doing in our school?" Qi Xi asked, "Didn't you say that most of the elders are anti-human? How could they bow down in a small university?"

Wei Xin: "Anti-humanity is a big trend, and there are some people who are more friendly to the people. For example, like you, you are a fish or something. You grew up in human society, and you are more tolerant and friendly to humans."

Qi Xi refused to admit it: "I didn't."

Wei Xin smiled: "I see that you get along well with your family. Believe in yourself. You are such a virtue that you don't agree with your heart. Next time you make a decision, I suggest going against your thinking."

Qi Xi: "..."

"Okay, I won't disturb your family dinner, you have a good rest, we will go to your school to talk to that elder on Monday."

The moment Wei Xin hung up the phone, Qi Xi's father just came back from the outside, and the birdcage in his hand had already disappeared, and Qiao Xiaoqiao was standing proudly on Qi Yantai's shoulder, smoothing his hair.

Qi Xi took Dad's coat and put it on the hanger for him, and asked casually, "Dad, where is Xiao Qiao's cage?"

Qi Yantai clapped his palm: "Oh, I forgot it on the chess table!"

After saying that, he immediately put on his coat in a hurry to go out, and then moved too hastily, knocking the red scarf on the hanger to the ground.

Qi Xi's mother, Qin Sifeng, came out of the kitchen and babbled about Qi Xi's careless father, and at the same time stepped forward to help Qi Xi fold her scarf: "Don't you like this kind of bright red things? I bought you red clothes last year I've never seen you wear it... This scarf is of good quality and style, isn't it expensive?"

Qi Xi was absent-minded: "It's not expensive."

Qin Sifeng raised an eyebrow and said: "Then you should show filial piety to me someday."

This red scarf was given to Qi Xi by Qi Qiao. I don't know if it's because the color is too red or the style is too eye-catching, but it caught Qin Sifeng's eyes for thousands of years!

"No, this is a gift from a friend." Qi Xi was a little out of sorts when she saw things and thought about others, "I was planning to wash it and store it when I got home today..."

Qin Sifeng stared at her leisurely, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed: "Who is a serious friend who will give you a gift or a scarf? Sending a scarf means that you want to 'wrap' you for the rest of your life, not to mention that this scarf looks exactly like the one you drew It's a couple."

Qi Qiao is indeed not a serious person. As a public figure, she teases others at first sight. Who knows if she treats others equally.

Qi Xi didn't want to know this question at all.

Especially the concert ticket that the other party promised her is also in vain, and the promised one will deliver the ticket!

Qin Sifeng: "Okay, wash your hands and prepare to eat. Remember to take the little girlfriend on your balcony, otherwise Xiao Qiao can peck flowers for you."

correct!The paintings on the balcony haven't been put away yet!

Qi Xi quickly came to the balcony, and found that Xiao Qiao was staring at the painting intently. The woman in the painting had colorful hair, and the dark green shoulder scarf was loosely draped around her body, giving people a flamboyant and casual feeling. Looking at the back view, it is unbelievably beautiful.

A small parrot tilted its head curiously, and leaned up to sniff the beauty meaningfully. Unexpectedly, not only did it not smell the beauty, but it also smelled of paint!

The lecherous Comrade Xiao Qiao was so sad that he flapped his wings and burrowed into Qi Xi's arms, and finally fell down on Qi Xi's collarbone.

Qi Xi squatted down to close the painting, and raised her hand to touch the yellow down of the little bird: "Don't be afraid, little Qiao, her name is Da Qiao, she doesn't like to eat parrots."

The parrot jumped out tremblingly: "I wish a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

At this time, Qi Xi's mother interjected: "Qi Xi, I helped you wash the scarf!"

"Understood." Qi Xi was taken aback, and a thought came to her mind: Could Xiao Qiao's words imply something?

After a while, she thought again, it might be because the mermaid race is superstitious, so she came up with some outrageous ideas.

How can there be any will of God, it is obviously all man-made.

Qin Sifeng put the scarf away, no matter how he looked at it, he thought the scarf was too beautiful, and finally couldn't help but took a photo with his mobile phone and searched it.

According to the dark lines above, Baidu Encyclopedia gave the search results——

The Chinese name is "Xi", the texture is compact and flat, and the hand feels fine and smooth. Mia style.

The sea tide is born, and the morning rise is called "tide", and the evening rise is "tide", implying that "day and night" will accompany you for the rest of your life. The market auction price is 500 million, and it will eventually be collected by the famous singer Qi Qiao.

Qin Sifeng zoomed in on the picture and observed it countless times, and suddenly felt that the scarf in her hand was a bit heavy. She was about to call Qi Xi to ask about it, when she saw Qi Xi carrying a painting to the study room—the scarf the person in the painting was wearing It is another "tide"!

Qi Xi's mother didn't know what expression to make for a moment, but she was always more worried than happy. She stared blankly at the faucet of the sink where a drop of water was condensed, and there was a "ding dong" when the water dripped down.

The hanging drip slowly fell and merged into the infusion tube.

The sunlight outside the house shone on the hanging bottle beside the old director, reflecting crystal light.

The old director Liao Xiangming was helped to the main seat with a dignified face. He was old, with drooping skin warts on his thin cheeks. Zhou Zheng's three courts did not bring the unique kindness of the elderly, but added a lot Prestige.Especially those two deep nasolabial folds, when you don't smile, can bring you multiple times of coercion.

A group of members of the Siyu Institute, represented by Xiao Chen, stood in the living room of the old director's house with straight eyebrows, like wooden men being trained.

As soon as the old director raised his hand to signal them to sit down, the wooden people sat quietly on the sofa, with their backs straightened, and their eyes were all looking at the old director.

"You don't have to be so restrained. It wasn't like this when you followed Qi Qiao." Liao Xiangming glanced at everyone, and said calmly, "I heard that you went to a hotel with her not long ago, and you didn't inform other people in the department. Department, go single-handedly to carry out the task... No, it’s not even a task, I guess you are just playing around with her? When you followed me before, it was strictly forbidden, and you didn’t have so many tricks.”

Everyone didn't dare to show their anger, and bowed their heads in unison to be scolded, lest they would get out of breath and make the old director cramp.

"Qi Qiao, as a public figure, her status is inherently more sensitive than ordinary people. You are better off. I am afraid that the whole world will not know that she is the director of the Department of Fishery. I think you are really inferior to staying in the department. Why don't you switch to a marketing career?" No." Liao Xiangming coughed a few times, pointed at Xiao Chen and called out his name, "Tell me, why did Qiao Qiao temporarily change his mind to go to that hotel that day, to be honest."

Xiao Chen adjusted his glasses carefully, and said to himself, I can't tell you that a large group of us left the airport and followed Qi Qiao on a whim to the hotel to play with girls, oh yes, we also used Technically locating people, shutting down a few elevators, making random encounters, pretending to be an illegitimate child and acting as a proxy to follow each other openly...

"Maybe Miss Qiao just had a whim." Xiao Chen replied in that business-like tone, throwing this hot question to Qi Qiao who hadn't come forward yet, "I didn't tell us the specifics, so I should have my own considerations."

Apparently this answer made the old director not satisfied, Liao Xiangming stared at Xiao Chen with deep eyes, and vowed not to stop until she had something to say next.

Xiao Chen pushed down his glasses again without blushing, and expressed his loyalty while flattering. He can be called a contemporary master of Duan Shui: "Director, you have devoted yourself to the department for many years. The personnel are dedicated to their duties. We follow your teachings at all times and have been protecting the safety of Director Qi. We have always believed that Director Qi has a deep heart, and we have carefully considered everything before departure. "

Hearing this flattery, no ten-year working experience can't be photographed, and the rest of the people who were being trained cast admiring glances at Xiao Chen.

The old director with a serious face was completely unusable, he lowered his face and tapped the table: "You..."

"I said, Comrade Liao, can you stop scaring the children in our department? Look at your face. On the left side is written 'sorry for the time' and on the right is 'concerned about the country and the people', with a ' Thinking hard', you are already on the drip, can you not torment yourself?"

Qi Qiao's voice came from the second floor, and everyone in Siyuyuan relaxed their straight backs as if they had been pardoned.

The old director looked up with bitterness and hatred on his face——and saw that Qi Qiao, who had just been praised as "a man with a heart", was wearing an embarrassing long skirt with high slits, and a crisp skirt was draped over his shoulders meaningfully. Wearing a suit, holding Guoqie in one hand, and elegantly holding the handrail of the stairs with the other hand, walking downstairs with a swaying posture.The spiral staircase just made her walk out of the catwalk.

The old director was misfired, and he had no temper with her.

Qi Qiao was seen by the old director since she was a child. Of course, the old director knows what kind of virtue she is. If she doesn't want to take care of the things she cares about, even if her legs are broken, she won't be able to rule her.To put it in a noble way, she is firm-willed and does not eat soft and hard. To put it bluntly, she does not eat oil and salt.

Although Liao Xiangming knew that he couldn't help praying for Qiao, he still frowned and scolded her: "Tell me about you, are you wearing the attire of a director?"

"I died early in the morning." Qi Qiao ate a strawberry while walking, "Besides, today is the weekend, and as the director, I have the right to take a vacation. I am wearing a star costume now~ You are welcome, come and eat. "

The old director was planning to catch the fruit plate handed over by Qi Qiao with a lot of lawsuits on his forehead, but Qi Qiao deftly circled around with the fruit plate: "Just now you said me, do you have any self-consciousness, the sick one should not be cold, this Dare to eat fruit while still on an IV drip?"

The old director: "..."

Everyone laughed, and was frightened back by the old director's stern eyes, all of them blushed.

In the end, because everyone dared not pick up the fruit from Qi Qiao in front of the old director, the plate of fruit could only be monopolized by Qi Qiao alone. Qi Qiao sat on the side sofa, picking and choosing the fruits, while lowering his eyes and said: " A year ago, all levels of courts cleared the 'button' type of prohibited drugs across the country. As a result, not long ago, we found that there were still such illegal drugs in the anti-fish organization, and they also upgraded these drugs. In other words, we don't know how far the other party has developed, and how powerful the root system is. I even suspect that there is something wrong with our company's internal personnel... Not referring to everyone, our local fish institutes at all levels are all possible."

The old director said seriously: "In the past, our Siyu Institute recruited excellent talents with extremely high spiritual thresholds, but in recent years, the talent market has generally been sluggish, and those with a spiritual threshold of over [-] are considered high-end talents, and our Siyu Institute The bottom line for recruiting bids is [-]. Qiqiao, Siyuyuan has special functions and is the last line of defense for social control of mermaids, so even if we can't recruit people, we can't lower the entry standards."

Qi Qiao ate a mouthful of watermelon worriedly: "I know that mermaids with high bloodlines have a strong hallucinogenic effect on human brains. We have always strictly supervised mermaids in society, but there are always some who slip through the net and hide their identities. If they It’s good to be safe, but once there is an anti-human tendency, Siyuyuan can only get rid of it according to law.”

Xiao Chen: "Director Liao, when we conducted a mental threshold physical examination in August, we found that everyone's threshold generally showed a downward trend, and the highest one even dropped by ten points."

"It's not just our Siyu Institute. This is the general trend of human beings. The atmosphere cannot withstand the menacing rays. Human beings are also helpless for the time being. They can only rely on the serum of a few mermaids in the world to study antibodies, and the attitude of the mermaids is secretive." ...It’s really unsatisfactory.” The old director was worried about the country and the people again, and he looked at Qi Qiao, “Keep the files of this medical examination strictly confidential. Offline personnel should also hold their tongues first, so as not to let the mermaids and the anti-mermaid organization know about our mistakes."

Qi Qiao took a bite of the grape: "I know."

Amid a group of sighs and sighs, Qi Qiao ate with a particularly good appetite. The old director couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned to stop her: "What's the proper way to talk while eating? I didn't recommend you to enter the entertainment industry at the beginning. Sooner or later, the place will bring you down, look at the sluggishness on your body, how can you look like a director!"

"I didn't promise you to take over this stall at the beginning." Qi Qiao expressed his respect and thanked Bumin, "I'm just acting as the director general, so don't treat me as an heir. Family, country and world."

The tendons on the back of Liao Xiangming's hands stretched out, and the old man was furious at Qi Qiao. If it wasn't for not being able to refute her face in public, he would have swung his cane and knocked her over!

The old director blew his beard and stared angrily, and Qi Qiao was still eating fruit heartlessly. The atmosphere was frozen for 5 minutes before Liao Xiangming sighed heavily: "Qi Qiao, if you are because of the accident in Nanyu Bay two years ago If you are angry with me, then I apologize, and I will find you any compensation you want."

"In short, people can't be resurrected after death. When you came here, how can I have a temper? After eating our rice for more than 20 years, I can't turn around and be a white-eyed wolf. The current situation is as you wish, and my mental threshold Unlimited, and not affected by mermaid hallucinations, no one can interfere with my thoughts, as long as my three views are willing to listen to you, Siyuyuan will not decay from the inside, so the director has to come, whoever Neither will work, will it?"

Qi Qiao had an indifferent expression on her face, she didn't care at all.

The old director stared at her for a long time, but he didn't see any flaws. His face was still full of worry, but his heart calmed down a lot: "Although you are not forgiving, you are obedient in your heart, and you know what is more important." , can I still worry about you? You said you went to the music scene back then, and I have cleared up a lot of connections for you. Besides, the country now strictly controls the Internet media, and you still have the status of director, even if you are an acting director. There is no one who is not good at posting black material on you."

"I have accepted this favor." Qi Qiao waved his hand: "I have nothing to do, I will leave first, and I will find someone in a few days. Vacation time is very precious."

"Stop." The old director stopped Qi Qiao in a deep voice, and raised his hand to let the assistant hold the tea, "It's not easy for you to come here, don't you want to drink some good tea from my new collection?"

Although the amount of Gongfu tea made by the old director is small, it has a lot of stamina. When Qi Qiao came out of the villa, he almost ran away.

Xiao Chen supported her suit and put it over her shoulders: "Director, be careful of catching a cold."

Qi Qiao recklessly drank a few sips of water, and finally suppressed the discomfort in her throat. She held her chest and let out a breath: "The old man is obviously in a hurry this time, the medicine is really hard..."

The bearded man who was driving looked back at Qi Qiao, and then slammed the steering wheel. Xiao Chen grabbed Qi Qiao's arm and said, "Director, your voice..."

Qi Qiao also found out, she closed her eyes and said nothing, and silently accepted what she should bear.

The mental threshold of the personnel of the Siyu Institute has generally declined, and those who have fallen to the passing line are equivalent to being eliminated by Xuezang. This is the fate of the grassroots personnel, but the high-level personnel cannot allow them to be "forced to retire", right?

I don't know when, the old director and the research and development institute have formulated a medicine that brute force raises the mental threshold. This medicine is hard to find, and only related households can use it.

But Qi Qiao didn't want to use it, she was afraid of hurting her throat.

The heavier the dose of this medicine, the greater the damage to the vocal cords. She thought that the old man was just tricking them into drinking tea and taking medicine three times a month, but recently the old man's health has become worse and worse, and he has been more ruthless in his actions.

Even if she ate a lot of fruit in advance to pad her stomach, she still couldn't bear that small cup of herbal tea.

"It doesn't matter to us. At most, your voice is rough, but you..." Xiao Chen inexplicably remembered the plate of fruit that was handed over. At that time, everyone tacitly refused to accept it. Afraid that the old director would find out that Qi Qiao was involved.

"Postponing the concert." Qi Qiao pressed the center of her brows, forcefully suppressing the pain in her heart, "You can recover your voice, it's no big deal."

Xiao Chen persuaded: "If you feel uncomfortable, cancel the concert. The concert is too exhausting for the throat."

Qi Qiao: "No, just postpone it. You can talk to Qi Xi later... Forget it, let me talk about it myself. A girl with a high heart and a thin skin will get angry with me."
