Lost [Transmigration Book]

Xiao Wu took the mobile phone, went out, and called the landline of the bookstore on the path outside.

——After all, Zhao Rong once pressed Qiao Nanqi's call on his mobile phone, and just now Zhao Rong refused the breakfast he sent, who knows if he will answer them?

To be on the safe side, it would be safer for him to call the bookstore's landline.

Sure enough, the busy tone only rang a few times before the phone was picked up.

"Hello?" The voice was not Zhao Rong's.

"It's me," Xiao Wu said, "Is Mr. Zhao still there?"

In the bookstore, Liang Youjun held up the handle of the landline phone, and glanced at Zhao Rong who was so bored that he was sorting books by the bookshelf.

Zhao Rong obviously also realized that this call was not like a call from a guest, so she turned her head and questioned him with her eyes.

Liang Youjun said to him, "It's Assistant Wu."

"The boss is still here." He said to Xiao Wu again.

Xiao Wu repeated Qiao Nanqi's question in a polite tone as much as possible.

Liang Youjun froze for a moment.

When Xiao Wu finished speaking, he even felt that he had heard wrongly, or that he had answered someone else's phone call and admitted to the wrong person.

Zhao Rong was still waiting for him to speak, "What did Xiao Wu say?"

"Ah, he said, um..." Liang Youjun rarely hesitated.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Wu also seemed to be aware of his hesitation, and said in a nice voice: "Just pass it on directly, that's what Mr. said. He's waiting now, please bother me."

Liang Youjun had no choice but to say to Zhao Rong: "He asked us, if there is anything else we want to eat, can we tell them. If you are willing to wait a while, they will bring it together when they are ready."

Zhao Rong froze for a while in arranging the bookshelves.

He was holding a book in his hand and was about to stuff it into the gap between other books. At this moment, he stopped, and the book's landing point deviated slightly, and it directly hit another book, making a dull and slight collision sound.

"Did Qiao Nanqi ask?"

"Correct."

He didn't expect Qiao Nanqi to do this.

He knew that Qiao Nanqi was treating him well, but after all, he didn't want to see this man let go of his pride to please someone like this.

He seemed conflicted.

As he thought about it, he used deliberate sharpness and the fake show between Liang Youjun to make Qiao Nanqi back down, so as to prove that Qiao Nanqi could not persist.

But Qiao Nanqi persisted, and he was a little...

It's like calling Qiao Nanqi for the first time. In fact, I felt that it was impossible for someone to come to the hospital out of fantasy, but when I saw that the person really came, I felt a sense of illusory unreality.

An indescribable complexity filled his heart, Zhao Rong was silent for a moment, lowered his head and closed his eyes, put the book in its place again, and said, "Forget it."

After saying that, he turned around, took the books in the basket, and went to the other side of the bookshelf.

Without Liang Youjun speaking, Xiao Wu heard Zhao Rong's answer on the other end of the phone.

"Why don't you tell me what you like to eat?" Xiao Wu thought for a while and said, "I will convey Mr. Zhao's meaning. But I have to deal with Mr., so I should be considerate of us runners."

Liang Youjun felt a little empathetic when he said this.

He thought of what Zhao Rong had said to him earlier, hesitated for a moment, and gave Xiao Wu the name of a breakfast dish.

That's not what Liang Youjun himself likes to eat.

That was what Zhao Rong wanted to eat when he accompanied Zhao Rong to breakfast two days ago.Just because I went late, the stall was sold out.

It just so happened that the nearby breakfast shop didn't make this dish in the past two days, and Zhao Rong is not one who likes to mess around with little things, so he hasn't eaten it yet.

Xiao Wu seemed to really want to race against time. After learning the answer, he quickly said a few words of thanks to him and hung up.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Wu came again with a basket of breakfast.

This time, there was an extra dish in the basket.

It was exactly what Liang Youjun said just now.It's just that compared with the other ones, this one is obviously done by people who are not very skilled. It seems that it is the first time to do it, and the appearance is still a bit lacking.

Zhao Rong looked at the things in Xiao Wu's hands, and then at Liang Youjun.

Liang Youjun raised his hands: "I was wrong."

Zhao Rong: "..."

It's all up to this, so Zhao Rong had no choice but to take it, "Thank you for me—"

He paused, retracted his subconscious words, and changed his words: "Thank you for me and Youjun."

Xiao Wu thought of the red spot on the back of their husband's hand, and the haggardness of rushing back to Zhuxi from Yangcheng overnight without rest, and finally heeded Qiao Nanqi's instructions, but said truthfully: "You take it, That’s the biggest thank you.”

Zhao Rong was silent.

He put his basket on the table beside him and called Liang Youjun over for breakfast.

Seeing that Liang Youjun started to take out those things and put them on display, Xiao Wu turned around and left.

When he went back, before Xiao Wu had time to say anything, Qiao Nanqi couldn't wait to smile when he saw his empty hands.

"ate?"

"I was already eating when I left."

"The new one..."

"We ate together."

Qiao Nanqi's eyes dimmed, but he still smiled: "That's good. Come here at this time every day from now on."

Judging by the meaning, he actually intends to do this every day in the future.

Even a little happy.

Are you so happy?

Xiao Wu really wanted to ask.

It's not even Zhao Rong eating alone.

Qiao Nanqi didn't need to do anything to eat by himself, but at this moment, he would rather prepare breakfast for Zhao Rong and... the people around Zhao Rong when he was sleepy. Over there, he just accepted the kindness, but here he is already like Long drought meets rain.

When he thought that such days would be endless, and he didn't know how long he would last, he felt too bitter.

But their husbands only tasted sweetness.

the other end.

After Liang Youjun set up the breakfast, seeing Xiao Wu's figure slowly disappearing into the corner of the street, he put down his chopsticks.

Still holding the chopsticks and spoon, Zhao Rong asked him, "Why did you tell him?"

"Assistant Wu told me that he has a job to do." Liang Youjun rolled his eyes guiltyly, "It's not easy for him to work for others, so I just said..."

He stood up immediately: "I'll continue to tidy up the bookshelf, boss, you eat. If you don't eat, I'll throw it away later."

"Do your job." Zhao Rong said angrily.

Liang Youjun ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Rong lowered his head, smelling the fragrance of the vegetables wafting out of the winter melon soup, looking at the newly made dish that he wanted to eat for two days, and thinking that this person really didn't care, it was already a bit mean to do that. reject……

He still raised the spoon, took a sip and brought it to his lips, gently blowing on the hot air from above, and took a sip.

The temperature is just right.

The taste is... very familiar.

He had to admit that he really wanted to.

When he was still living at Qiao Nanqi's house, Sister Tang Li made it for him many times.

He originally thought that this was done by the cook Qiao Nanqi found in Zhuxi, but this method is obviously not the habit of Zhuxi.

What did Miss Li do?Did Qiao Nanqi bring Sister Li along?

Zhao Rong ate a few other dishes and reaffirmed that this was Sister Li's cooking habit.

"Your Majesty," he shouted, "you are free these two days, help me buy a gift for a middle-aged woman."

Since that morning, Zhao Rong never refused Xiao Wu to bring her breakfast.

It's just that those breakfasts are full of variety every day, and the taste is completely in line with his taste. The ingredients are so exquisite that even a single ingredient can't be faulted. You can tell at a glance that the people who prepared it put a lot of thought into it.

When Zhao Rong was being mean to Qiao Nanqi, he had some unspeakable rivalry, but thinking that Qiao Nanqi was going to torment Sister Li to do it, he felt a little embarrassed.

So he asked Liang Youjun to prepare a gift for him, and asked him to bring it to Sister Li when Xiao Wu came one day.

"For Sister Li?" Xiao Wu was taken aback.

"That's right," Zhao Rong smiled, "After all, she worked hard."

Xiao Wu thought that Zhao Rong was thanking Sister Li for taking care of her when she was at Qiao Nanqi's house, so she accepted the gift and planned to give it to Sister Li when she returned to Yangcheng next time.

Seeing that Xiao Wu accepted it, Zhao Rong felt relieved, and gradually got used to breakfast every morning.

In a flash, spring is coming.

The air is still cold, but it is slightly damp, and the sun is getting warmer, as if it is always ready to bring spring with it.

Zhou Yueqing was at the entrance of the hospital. Seeing Zhao Rong get off the car, she smiled. Before she could speak, she saw Qiao Nanqi getting off the car from the other side, and her smile froze immediately.

After Qiao Nanqi and her bluntly expressed his intentions earlier, he really didn't hold back anything. He actually brought a group of people and started from scratch in Zhuxi.He didn't do anything with Zhao Rong, and he didn't cooperate with Ruan Cheng, as if he was really just a lone wolf who came to Zhuxi to expand the territory, disdain those shortcuts and secret methods, he was so upright that he could not be criticized, and he was as powerful as a bamboo. Zhou Yueqing had to be helpless to fight back.

Although Qiao Nanqi had only been here not long ago, Zhou Yueqing had already seen the decline of their Zhou family.

She belatedly discovered that the hospital in her hand was all her chips, but because of her short-sightedness at the beginning, she was the first to throw out the chips.

Now that the contract has been signed, there is nothing she can do if she just waits for the personnel handover today.

She originally thought that she would save a hand in the hospital's personnel affairs today, and let some of her own people—the left and right Zhao Rong is a layman who doesn't understand anything and can't tell.

At that time, the Zhou family will definitely have no power to fight back against Qiao Nanqi, but for Zhao Rong, she will leave some of her own people in the hospital to understand Zhao Ming's situation, and even make some moves in the treatment. Can have a way out.

Who would have thought that Qiao Nanqi would come together?

Zhou Yueqing almost gritted her teeth.

"Miss Zhou?" Zhao Rong walked up to her and called out to her.

Qiao Nanqi also walked slowly to Zhao Rong's side.

At the moment, he was wearing a long windbreaker that didn't reach his knees, dark black, with a loose checked white shirt inside. He had a slender figure and a straight back.Just standing beside Zhao Rong without saying anything obviously made Zhou Yueqing feel oppressed.

Zhou Yueqing forced a smile, and said inexplicably, "Mr. Zhao and Mr. Qiao have a good relationship."

These words seemed to hit Qiao Nanqi's mind, his eyes moved slightly, and his expression was a little bright just now, but now his expression suddenly darkened.

"us--"

"Well," Zhao Rong smiled slightly, with a calm tone, "We are friends."

Qiao Nanqi paused.

"Yes, friend," he said.

The atmosphere between these two people is too strange, you can feel it without looking at it.

Zhou Yueqing looked at Zhao Rong, put aside some thoughts that flashed for a moment, and with a smile, asked Zhao Rong and Qiao Nanqi to go upstairs to the office to hand over the personnel documents.

Zhao Rong was always easy to talk, so he nodded and followed the others up.

Qiao Nanqi walked more slowly. He walked behind Zhao Rong, copying his pocket with one hand, his expression somber.

When Zhou Yueqing passed by, he suddenly stopped.

"Miss Zhou," his tone is completely different from when he spoke to Zhao Rong just now, the tenderness wrapped in his voice has completely dissipated, leaving only a deep coldness, "I think that everything I do in Zhuxi is aboveboard. , In business affairs, winning or losing is the norm—low-handed tactics are not a long-term solution.”

After saying that, he lifted his foot and followed Zhao Rong into the elevator.

Zhou Yueqing stayed where she was, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Is this more than a warning?

Qiao Nanqi probably knew what she did before he came.

These two people have already gone up at this moment, and the backhand she left is probably useless.

She frowned, thought for a moment, then turned to look at the security guard who was on duty at the entrance of the hospital.

The things to be done today are more important. The security guards of the hospital have been handed over to be on duty. They are wandering outside at the moment, and the leader is standing at the door.

Before she placed people, she was only doing things about administration and doctors. This kind of scattered workers was basically ignored.

She stepped forward and called the leading security guard aside.

"What's your name?"

"My surname is Lin, and everyone calls me Lao Lin, so Miss can do whatever you want." Lao Lin smiled flatteringly.For the coolie money they earn, they have no idea about the stop and go of these high-level people. They only know that the people in front of them are greeted by high-level people every time they come, so they must be of high status.

For the rest, he simply didn't know.

This is what Zhou Yueqing likes.

She slowed down her tone: "Old Lin, from your accent, are you from the suburbs?"

"exactly."

"Have you bought a house in the city?"

"Well, how can I afford this? With my salary. I just want to save some money and build a house in my hometown."

"That's hard work. How about this, after you help me, keep an eye on the movement in the hospital. I have several properties in the city center. How about choosing one for you?"

When Zhao Rong walked into the elevator, he happened to see Qiao Nanqi turning his head and talking to Zhou Yueqing.

His eyes were sharp and his expression was awe-inspiring.

In addition, this person is already very tall, and when he slightly lowers his head to look at people, his lower eyeliner can draw confidence.

It's just that his self-confidence was not achieved by keeping a straight face. On the contrary, Qiao Nanqi smiled slightly, and his every move was calm.

——Clearly before getting out of the car, this person was still suppressing his voice and asked him softly: "I recently found some books with appreciation value, and they are all orphans. How about sending them to your store for display?"

Zhao Rong didn't answer at that time, but Qiao Nanqi smiled when he saw his silence.

Presumably these things will appear in bookstores in the near future.

They've been like this all this time.

Ever since the breakfast that greeted the morning was accepted by Zhao Rong, Qiao Nanqi would come to the bookstore to visit Zhao Rong in his spare time, except that he was busy with establishing a foothold in Zhuxi on weekdays.If Zhao Rong was busy by himself, he would sit there too, occasionally reading a book, or dealing with work matters there.

Sometimes Zhao Rong would reject his various overtures, but Qiao Nanqi seemed to have seen Zhao Rong's intention to vent his anger, no matter how harsh his words were, this person never flinched.

Zhao Rong always didn't want to watch this person let go of his dignity and pride, so after a few more times, he still let go.

He seems to have lost his mind.

He was able to resist the sudden approach and guilt like a flood of beasts, but he couldn't ignore this steady flow of water and silent persistence.

Before he knew it, after Qiao Nanqi followed him into the car today, he suddenly realized - why did he agree to this person following him?

Really...

It's really worthless.

In order to cover up his blunder, he deliberately kept his face cold and didn't speak in the car. Qiao Nanqi didn't care, he talked to him from time to time, not too often, with just the right amount of gentleness.

Qiao Nanqi like this made him almost forget who this person was.

Until this moment, I saw the peaceful confrontation between Qiao Nanqi and Zhou Yueqing.

Seeing Qiao Nanqi stepping forward, Zhao Rong immediately looked away.

But he reacted too late, before looking away, he had already met Qiao Nanqi's gaze.

The man stood beside him, and the elevator door closed slowly with a "ding" sound. A momentary feeling of weightlessness came, and the number of floors on the display screen slowly increased.

Qiao Nanqi suddenly said, "...were you looking at me just now?"

Zhao Rong was hit, she subconsciously blinked quickly, and her face remained calm.

After being silent for a while, he felt that it was too weak to avoid talking. He stared at the pair of intertwined shadows in the elevator mirror, and saw Qiao Nanqi's slightly shaking windbreaker hem.

"Ah."

He lowered his tone and said, "I just think, you..."

The wind leaked in through the gap, Zhao Rong smiled calmly, raised his head, and looked into the eyes in the door mirror: "You did what you did in front of Zhou Yueqing just now, it's actually pretty good."
