Route of RetreatChapter 51

After returning to the city, the rain gradually became lighter and finally stopped. He first dropped Cao Xia in the north of the city, and then Li Tang sent He Yu and Qiao Mudong back.

It was almost two o’clock in the middle of the night, and He Yu felt really embarrassed when he asked Li Tang to come out so late to accompany him on this trip. Something bad almost happened to them too. Dog3FJ

Li Tang felt that it didn’t matter and insisted on sending them back.

Arriving at the gate of the community, when He Yu opened the door and got out of the car, Li Tang noticed that he was awkwardly pressing the door with his left hand, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Did you hit your hand?”

“It’s okay,” He Yu said, already stepping down.

Qiao Mudong moved faster and had already reached He Yu’s side. Hearing Li Tang’s words, he reached out, took He Yu’s right hand, and saw blood stains under the streetlamp’s light. cI63xZ

He Yu retracted his hand. “It’s not that serious, I just scratched it.”

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Qiao Mudong said. “You might need a few stitches for this.”

Li Tang then said, “Come up, I will take you there.”

“No need,” He Yu insisted as he got out of the car.

Qiao Mudong took He Yu’s hand, leaned against the car window, and said to Li Tang, “There’s a community hospital nearby. We can walk there in ten minutes. We will just walk back later. It’s getting late. You go back first and have a rest.”

Li Tang said, “Come up, it’s more convenient to drive you there.”

Qiao Mudong shook his head. “No, it’s you who should be more careful; you might offend Hong Xiangjun again.”

Li Tang smiled and even said, “I’ll wait for him then.” l7RmXp

In the end, Li Tang no longer insisted. He said goodbye to them, turned around, and left.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Mudong put a hand on He Yu’s shoulder, almost hugging half of his body in his arms. “We’re going to the hospital.”

It only takes more than ten minutes to walk from the gate of the community to the community hospital, but the streets are really deserted at two o’clock in the middle of the night.

Qiao Mudong’s body was half wet from the rain, and He Yu was still wet. He Yu’s body next to his felt chillingly damp. He Yu yawned, then sneezed again. 10TM7f

Qiao Mudong suddenly let go of him, walked up in front of him, and squatted down. “Come up.”

He Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized that Qiao Mudong was going to carry him. He smiled, suddenly had the urge to kick his butt, and said, “No need.”

Qiao Mudong insisted, “Hurry up and just come up.”

He Yu finally laid on his back and let him carry him. 7ORk6U

He Yu leaned his head on Qiao Mudong’s shoulder and heard Qiao Mudong say, “I told you not to come out.”

“No,” He Yu answered. “What’s the matter?”

Qiao Mudong said, “I’m getting goosebumps just from hearing it.”

He Yu smiled and kissed Qiao Mudong’s ear from behind. DlmZ0

Qiao Mudong instantly trembled. He warned, “Don’t mess with me. Be careful, I might kill you here right now.”

He Yu laughed loudly, hugged Qiao Mudong’s neck tightly with his arms, clamped his waist with his legs, and kissed his ear again.

As a result, He Yu fell ill the next day.

There was nothing wrong with the wound on his hand, but he felt dizzy and weak early in the morning, and his whole body ached. He originally wanted to check the time, but he couldn’t find his phone after reaching out for a long time. Instead, he woke up Qiao Mudong. 0UTpmk

Qiao Mudong saw that his cheeks were red. When he reached out to touch his forehead, he found out that it was hot.

“You have a fever,” Qiao Mudong said. “Don’t go to work.”

He Yu refused, “No, I’ve only been working for a few days, so it’s not good to do that.” As he said that, he reached out to lift the quilt.

Qiao Mudong grabbed his hand and covered him again with the quilt. Then he searched for his cell phone on the bed. “What’s your boss’s name? I’ll call him to ask for leave.” gDVnS

He Yu shook his head. “Let me be.”

Qiao Mudong said, “Then I’ll call Ma Tian.”

“No.” He Yu quickly stopped him. “Don’t bother shixiong with this little thing. If you get him involved, I’m really going to beat you up.”

Qiao Mudong was already flipping through his address book. He was scrolling through the screen when he suddenly saw Fu Chenshan’s name. Without even looking at He Yu, he silently deleted Fu Chenshan’s phone number before returning the phone to He Yu. ZF pUl

He Yu didn’t notice it as he finally called Ou Yunjia to ask for a day off.

Qiao Mudong asked him to lie down and sleep again. Then he went out to buy him fever-reducing medicine and breakfast. As soon as he walked out of the house, Qiao Mudong received two calls, one after another. One was from Cao Xia, saying that the car had been towed back to the garage and that he would be able to pick it up in two days. Qiao Mudong asked him to bring it to him in two days; the second call was from Wen Guanghua. Wen Guanghua was originally the person in charge of the new Lingyun construction project. Ling Qiang arranged for him to help Qiao Mudong take charge of this matter. Wen Guanghua said, “Mr. Qiao, Hong Xiangjun called early this morning and wanted to make an appointment with you.”

Qiao Mudong said, “Oh?” He paused and then said, “Tell him for me that I’m not free right now.”

Wen Guanghua hesitated and asked, “Wouldn’t this be good? Since Hong Minhang’s accident, the negotiations with Dihong have been interrupted. Do we have to keep delaying it like this?” T9Cn6H

Qiao Mudong said, “Let’s hold it first and then find someone to tell him this. We have also surveyed suitable lands in Xicheng District and are considering it from various aspects.”

Wen Guanghua thought he wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price. Although he felt that he and Hong Minhang had already had a good negotiation before and both parties were quite sincere, it would not be appropriate to add insult to injury now. However, since Ling Qiang said that Qiao Mudong would be responsible for this, there was no room for objection, so he simply said, “Okay, I got it.”

After Qiao Mudong hung up the phone, he thought about it and called Li Tang again to tell him about this matter.

Li Tang had also just gotten up. Hearing this, he said, “Master Qiao, please help me keep delaying it until they become cornered dogs jumping over the wall.” WC3K4h

Qiao Mudong smiled. “No problem.”

He Yu didn’t want to eat more than half of the buns and was feeling a little down, so Qiao Mudong gave him medicine instead.

He Yu was still lying on the bed and was wrapped in a quilt by Qiao Mudong. “Still not sleeping, ah?” His voice was a little hoarse.

“You go to sleep,” Qiao Mudong said. “Why aren’t you covering your head? You’re sweating all over. Anyway, the car has been sent for repair, and I won’t go out today.” PUuaSy

“Nn,” He Yu said. “Bring your laptop here and amuse yourself with it.”

Qiao Mudong reached out, rubbed his head, and said, “Okay.”

He Yu had been ill for several days. Although he went back to work the next day, he was still in poor spirits, and his voice was severely hoarse.

Ou Yunjia said that he had been too tight with himself in the past few days. The fatigue had accumulated, and now it suddenly broke out. He told him that he should go home and rest for a few days instead. 8qTruN

He Yu quickly refused. How could he have the nerve to rest again?

He watched helplessly, as he was the only one left behind due to his cold. He Yu started to cough up again. His coughing could be heard in the entire office intermittently every day.

Qiao Mudong asked him once to see a doctor. He kept saying that he didn’t have time, so he bought a lot of cough medicine and drank it instead. The symptoms gradually eased, but the cough was never completely eliminated.

In this way, Tengxiang ushered in its first official participation in the Chongfeng Electronic Information Products Exhibition. UcRtBl

Ou Yunjia attaches great importance to this exhibition. As a new company, this exhibition is a good opportunity to promote itself. If it performs well enough, it can even usher in a new batch of customers and orders. Therefore, Tengxiang held a plenary meeting in advance. Ou Yunjia repeatedly emphasized one point, that is, attention.

He Yu’s job is actually to assist them. When he put the display board up, he suddenly felt his throat itching, so he started to cough while holding the display board.

Zhang Qin was sitting in the company’s booth at that time. He said to He Yu, “You go and take a rest, ba.”

He Yu was very embarrassed. The symptoms of the cold had actually completely disappeared, and he no longer felt tired. However, just because his cough wasn’t completely cured yet, the others would still ask him to rest. w631jf

He Yu said, “I’m fine. I’ll just go get some boiling water.”

He has a staff sign hanging around his neck. He was wearing a white shirt on his upper body and black trousers on his lower body. He looked extremely smart and capable.

He took the kettle to the water dispenser and returned with a pot of boiling water. From a distance, Ou Yunjia suddenly waved to him.

He Yu jogged back to the booth. Seeing everyone looking at him with smiles, he asked curiously, “What’s wrong?” dgoAMn

Ou Yunjia smiled and said, “Everyone has unanimously approved for you to be our company’s image representative. Today, you will be specially responsible for distributing advertising flyers and soliciting customers.”

Everyone laughed. Someone said, “Indeed, Laobao will solicit customers today. He Yu is our queen of flowers, he’s responsible for receiving the guests.”

He Yu also laughed when he heard this and said to Ou Yunjia, “Laoban, why don’t you go soliciting customers instead?” He said the word “Laoban” a little bit vaguely, which sounded a bit like “Laobao“, so everyone burst into laughter again.

Before the exhibition started, there was an opening ceremony, which was held in the large square outside the exhibition hall. A stage was set up. It is said that Ling Qiang, the chairman of the association, was invited to speak at the opening ceremony. eoD8vd

Meanwhile, He Yu was sorting out advertisements in the exhibition hall. He noticed that the hall was becoming more and more lively. Many booth staff were also gathering outside. A young man named Xu Li from the same company pulled He Yu’s arm and said, “I heard that Ling Qiang has arrived. Let’s go and have a look.”

He Yu couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. He said, “I’m not going; you go ahead.”

Several young people followed the crowd and squeezed out to watch the fun.

Ou Yunjia came over and patted He Yu on the shoulder. “Just do your own thing.” xRsHOd

He Yu knew that Ou Yunjia was comforting him, so he simply nodded.

The opening ceremony only lasted about ten minutes and then ended. The exhibition officially began. The people who had gathered in the square outside the hall to watch came back together. The entire exhibition hall quickly became lively.

Ling Qiang probably left after speaking. He Yu didn’t see him anyway. Lingyun’s booth was in the middle of the next exhibition hall. In He Yu’s view, it was a distance of one hundred and eight thousand li away from Tengxiang. As long as he doesn’t go there, he won’t come across any of his acquaintances.

He Yu’s job of handing out advertising flyers was not easy. He stood at the corner closest to the company’s booth and handed advertising flyers to everyone who passed by. At the same time, he spoke very quickly and pointed at the company’s booth to give a brief introduction, hoping to attract people to come and see it for themselves. ictYPz

Soon, He Yu lost his energy. His throat and eyes were itchy, and he kept on coughing. He almost drank up all the water in the kettle. Before anyone could tell him to take a rest, he consciously handed the advertisement leaflet to Xu Li. He took the kettle and went to the left side of the exhibition hall to collect more water.

Just as the kettle was filled, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind. He Yu thought he was blocking someone else, so he quickly got out of the way. When he turned around, he saw that it was Xie Zhan.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xie Zhan also had a staff sign hanging around his neck. While handing him a cigarette, he said to He Yu, “Guess who I saw when Ling Qiang was speaking just now?”

He Yu put the kettle on the table next to him, took the cigarette, and asked casually, “Who?” PJ0vq2

Xie Zhan leaned over to help him light his cigarette and said somewhat mysteriously, “Fu Chenshan.”

He Yu took a deep drag on the cigarette when suddenly, a hand stretched out from his side, taking out the cigarette from his mouth.

He Yu and Xie Zhan were both startled. They both turned to look and saw Fu Chenshan standing next to them in a suit and tie. He was holding the cigarette that He Yu just had in his hand. He frowned and asked, “Why are you still smoking when you’re already coughing so much?”
