wood, bring me here
Chapter 6
After Li Jie proofread the report, sorted out the documents, and glanced at his watch, it was less than five o'clock.
After taking some stomach medicine, the uncomfortable feeling was relieved a lot.
Spinning the signature pen in his hand a little boredly, his slender fingers tapped the desk surface rhythmically, and the hand beside the table "buzzed" and vibrated.
Seeing the caller ID, the corners of Li Jie's mouth twitched slightly, and as soon as the call was connected, an excited voice came from the microphone.
"Master Li, are you free tonight?"
"No time."
"An appointment?"
"..."
The other party thought that Li Jie had acquiesced, so he hurriedly said in a gossip tone: "Yo, you finally figured it out. The spring of Young Master Li who has been idle for three years is coming again, come, come, tell me what the other party looks like What type? What kind? What?"
Li Jie was speechless after being bombarded by the other party, rubbing his forehead that was buzzing, "Xie Chenxi, I have known you for so many years, this is the first time I know that you also have the potential to gossip?"
The person on the phone said heartlessly, "I just like to gossip about you, so tell me, tell me quickly..."
"No comment."
"Oh, my young master Li, don't be angry, don't I care about you? Come on, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't get to the bottom of it. I've been as busy as a dog this month, and finally today I wanted to ask you out when I was free at night, and you told me, is it easy for me, I..."
Hearing the other party's yelling on the phone, Li Jie quickly stopped: "Don't complain to me, my head will explode when I hear you talking about it. I really don't have time tonight, why don't we spend the weekend."
The other party readily agreed: "Okay, let me tell you, I have met a big client this time, if we can negotiate, I can make a lot of money."
The corners of Li Jie's mouth turned up, and his eyes curled up with a smile: "Congratulations, thank you boss, now your good days are finally coming."
The other party didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Oh, my young master Li, please don't hurt me, can you? It's just my small broken company, and I only have five employees in total. How can I compare with you."
Li Jie changed his sitting position, and the smile in his eyes increased a bit: "Don't cry poor, you are the big boss of starting a business, and I am just a part-time worker at best."
"Who did you refuse to do with me? With your ability, you can definitely set up the company with me."
"..."
"Aren't you still obsessed with that matter? I've already said that matter has nothing to do with you, and I heard that she's fine now."
Li Jie's eyes darkened quietly, and his thin lips curled up in a cold arc: "Xie Chenxi, you are heartless, why are you bringing this up?"
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, see you at the old place on Sunday night."
"Ah."
Li Jie responded and hung up the phone.
As night falls, the sky is gradually coated with a layer of dark blue, and the stars are like pearls in the sea, shining faintly.
Li Jie walked in the hotel, observing the situation of the hotel, he walked around a lot, everything was normal, and finally came to the kitchen department on the second floor.
It's past dinner time, and the kitchen department has basically finished work. Except for the person on duty, everyone else has also gone back one after another.
When he came to the door of the kitchen, the door was ajar, and there was light seeping from the inside, so Li Jie pushed the door and walked in.
The huge kitchen was neatly organized, and all kinds of knives, spatulas, and pans were neatly placed in their respective positions.
A familiar figure passed by in the corner of the kitchen, which immediately caught Li Jie's attention.
After a closer look, it was indeed the piece of wood. He was scrubbing the knives by the sink, his movements seemed a little slow.
From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the duty list on the wall, and Li Jie called out, "Qin Shaoyang."
Hearing the voice, the man turned his head and looked behind him: "Brother, why are you here?"
The man's voice was a little hoarse, Li Jie walked up: "Xiao Cai is on duty today, why did you change?"
"The head chef said that Xiao Cai asked for leave for something, and asked me to replace him."
Qin Shaoyang lowered his head and cleaned the knife, then put it on the knife holder aside, then picked up a machete and started washing it.
Li Jie stood aside and looked at the other party, seeing that his movements were not as agile as yesterday, he frowned.
No wonder I was dismissed from my original unit, and I wanted to be lazy on the first day.
"hiss."
The man took a deep breath, stopped the movement of his hands, and there was a bloodstain on his finger.
Li Jie frowned, and blamed: "What's wrong with you? How can you cut your hand even if you wash a knife?"
"Brother, I'm fine," Qin Shaoyang shook his head disapprovingly: "I'll be fine in a while."
The man's hand was injured, and his movements became more sluggish. The more Li Jie looked at him, the more he felt that he was an eyesore, so he turned and left.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I heard a "bang" sound coming from inside.
What an idiot, you give me trouble when you come.
Li Jie complained a little in his heart, then turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
The man was bending over and struggling to pick up the knife that fell on the ground. He was panting heavily, and his face was even redder than before.
Li Jie saw a knife by his feet, reached out to pick it up and handed it to the other party, with a blunt tone: "Take it."
"Thank you bro."
Qin Shaoyang took the knife and accidentally touched the back of Li Jie's hand with his fingers.
The temperature on the back of the hand seemed to be very hot, and all the hot air exhaled by the man sprayed on Li Jie's face, scorching hot.
Staring at the man's flushed face, Li Jie asked, "Do you have a fever?"
"I'm fine, but my throat is uncomfortable, just go back to sleep and I'll be fine."
Seeing the man holding on, Li Jie didn't want to say anything more, anyway, he wasn't the one who got sick, so he didn't care about his own business.
But after thinking about it, if he fell ill, if he fell ill, wouldn't he be ridiculed by those two people again.
Watching the man's listless look, Li Jie raised his chin and said, "Go back now."
The man looked around the kitchen and moved his lips slowly: "But the kitchen..."
Li Jie said impatiently: "Where is there so much nonsense, let you go back and go back."
"it is good."
Qin Shaoyang couldn't hold it any longer this time, spit out the word "good" from his mouth, walked out with his eyes half closed, stepped on a stool set aside, staggered and fell to the ground, and put his hand on the stove again. The two frying pans in the house hit the ground, causing a long series of "pinging bang bang" sounds.
Can you imagine a big bear weighing more than 160 kilograms knocking over things in the kitchen and sitting on the ground?
The current Qin Shaoyang is like that big bear, with his burly body leaning against the stove, and the knocked down stools and pots also fell to the ground. The scene of embarrassment is really unbearable to look at.
Seeing the man complete a series of coherent and blunt movements, Li Jie almost wanted to curse directly.
Holding his breath, he stepped forward to Qin Shaoyang's side, stared at the man condescendingly, and did not speak.
"Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you again," Qin Shaoyang rubbed his eyes, got up and put things in order.
Li Jie went back to the office to pack up his things and went home. The car drove out of the hotel and drove slowly past a bus stop. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed the man waiting for the bus.
Seeing the man's flushed face and confused expression standing in the middle of the night waiting for the car, Li Jie pulled the car closer in a strange way.
He opened the car door and let the man get in the car, but the other party refused until he was ordered to sit in the car. It was almost the same pattern as yesterday, which made Li Jie feel that he was being too kind to this man.
Yesterday was a heavy rainstorm. Today he has a fever. If it doesn't get better, he won't be able to go to work in the hotel tomorrow. Besides, he has to cook dinner for himself.
Li Jie quietly found a lot of reasons for himself, and returned to his arrogant and indifferent appearance.
The car passed by the hypermarket near his home, Qin Shaoyang said hoarsely: "Brother, stop the car."
"what?"
"I haven't bought any food for tonight..."
"Make fish porridge tonight."
Qin Shaoyang's dark eyes showed a little surprise. Could it be that he changed his mind temporarily because he was sick?
Back home, Qin Shaoyang was busy making porridge for Li Jie, regardless of his fever.
On the other side, Li Jie sat in the living room and made a call to Li An, unexpectedly, the other party was on a business trip in Beijing, and he would not be back these days.
Knowing that her husband had a fever, Li An was anxious but it was useless, so he could only ask Li Jie to take care of him on the phone.
Reluctantly agreeing to his sister's request, Li Jie hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out after washing, the man had already filled a bowl of hot fish porridge and sat there waiting.
Li Jie sat down and took a bite, it was really delicious.
Seeing that the man didn't move, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you get yourself a bowl?"
The man waved his hand: "It's okay brother, you can eat, I'll go back first."
"Go get an empty bowl."
"?"
"Dine with me."
"Brother... I..."
Hearing Li Jie's words, the man's originally flushed face turned even redder, like a boiled shrimp.
Li Jie raised his eyebrows and increased his volume: "Go quickly."
"okay."
The honest man ran to the kitchen and came out with a big bowl.
Li Jie just raised his head and saw the big bowl in the opponent's hand.
The man muttered, "I don't have enough small bowls."
Li Jie: "..."
After eating, Li Jie didn't ask Qin Shaoyang to clean up the dishes, but asked the man to find antipyretic medicine in the medicine box and take it, and then asked him to take a bath and sleep.
Although the man did it silently, he was a little baffled by Li Jie's sudden change of attitude. Didn't he always dislike himself?Why are you suddenly so nice to yourself today?
At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.
The man picked up his phone, it was Ann calling.
"Shaoyang, how is your health?"
Qin Shaoyang was taken aback by Li An's question, how did she know that she was sick?Could it be that Li Jie told her?
"Nothing serious, just a little fever."
"Well, then you have a good rest, you should stay at brother's house for a few days."
Qin Shaoyang quickly rebuffed: "How can this be done? I am clumsy, if I do something wrong, I will make my brother unhappy."
"I've told him just now, anyway, I'm often not at home, and my brother usually eats irregularly, so you just happen to be in charge of his dinner."
Qin Shaoyang couldn't refuse Li An's words, so he had to agree: "Okay then, An An, when are you coming back? We haven't had dinner together for a long time."
"I'll come back when I'm done. I still have something to do here, so hang up first."
"it is good."
Qin Shaoyang hung up the phone, got back into bed, and looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, his mood became complicated.
Li An has always been so busy with work, running out every three days. Although he knows that she still cares about him, the other party has been busy with his career and left the house to himself all day.
I just want to live an ordinary life with someone I like, but Li An puts all his focus on work. This is not the marriage I want.
However, they are already married, and he is only a cook, and he has no other skills, so let's just make do with it.
It's just that now I'm living with a brother-in-law who doesn't like me, and I don't know if the few days with him will go well.
