Chapter 181 Poor Xia Lian
After dinner at the hotel at noon, the two exchanged contact information with each other. Later, Chen Xi drove Xia Lian back to her residence.
Seeing a dilapidated apartment in front of her, Xia Lian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her head, as if she didn't want Chen Xi to see the embarrassment of her life.
The mailbox at the door of the room was actually made of a cookie box. This simple facility made Chen Xi feel distressed.
"Let me help you find a better house." Chen Xi touched her head and said.
"No, thank you! Xiaoqian and I live together and don't want to be separated." Xia Lian shook her head.
"Okay, then I will arrange work and contact you then." Chen Xi shook his phone and waved goodbye.
Xia Lian nodded shyly, turned around and walked into the house. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to rush to Xiaoqian's room.
Seeing a tired-looking Xiaoqian sleeping soundly, she felt extremely distressed. She quickly closed the door gently and decided to wait until the other person woke up before telling her what happened.
"Beep~beep~" When Chen Xigang got into the car and was about to go home, his cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from Alin, so he immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hey, where did you go? You didn't call me until now." Chen Xi said with some dissatisfaction.
"Oops, I had a car accident. I'm in the hospital now. Come and see me. Oops~" Alin's painful screams came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing the news, Chen Xi frowned, hurriedly asked for the address of Alin's hospital, and then hung up the phone.
Royal Mercun Hospital, founded in 1856, is not only Tuao's leading medical institution for handling complex and acute cases, but also one of the largest clinical teaching hospitals in the country. Its medical facilities and technologies have been rigorously certified by international evaluation agencies.
This hospital is characterized by excellent teamwork and a relaxed treatment environment.
Royal Mercun Hospital has first-class research centers and facilities, focusing on clinical and basic research, and gradually expanding into the fields of innovation and translational science.
It is worth mentioning that the hospital also has a medical immigration center, which specializes in providing convenient and efficient medical services to patients from other countries.
According to the latest global rankings, Royal Mercon Hospital ranks among the best in the world in areas such as orthopedics, general surgery and arrhythmia treatment.
In addition, the hospital is recognized as one of the world's top liver transplant centers and has received international praise for its service efficiency and treatment results.
Half an hour later, Chen Xi's car stopped steadily at Grattan Street.
Looking at the hospital building, he couldn't help but frown. Alin probably had a fracture, otherwise he wouldn't have come here. The orthopedics department here is quite famous.
"What's going on with you? Do you play Fast and Furious?" After checking in at the front desk, he was led to the ward by the nurse. He saw Alin lying on the bed with wraps around his arms, head and legs. Like a mummy.
"Don't mention it. I sent you a text message yesterday, but my phone fell under the seat. I picked it up while driving, and accidentally..." Alin said with a frown.
"It's nothing serious, is your brain damaged?" Chen Xi looked at him left and right.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"Haha, it seems like everything should be fine. I'm still in the mood to do that."
"You heartless guy, you're still laughing."
"TMD, if it weren't for you, Did I lose my virginity last night? "
"It didn't rain last night, right? What happened? Please tell me in detail." Ah!”
"I don't know how to bring some fruit when you come here."
"If you want to eat, just go to Richmond and eat whatever you want, I'll pay for it!"
Chen Xi pulled up a chair Come over, sit beside Arin's bed, cross your legs and start chatting with him.
"Here, this is a document from the cram school. Take a look at it, sign it, and then give it to Matthew and the others to sign too." A Lin handed over a document bag, and Chen Xi opened it and looked at it. , containing a stack of A4 paper.
“There are so many, I’ll get them when I get back.” Chen Xi smiled and put the things in his hands on the table.
"After the documents are ready, the cram school can open this month. I have asked Lao Xing and others to take care of other things. I estimate that it will take a few days to cultivate."
"How many days to cultivate? I think you have to cultivate for more than ten days. "The days are not enough."
"The nurses here are so ugly, all of them are ridiculously fat. The ghost girls are all in good shape before giving birth, but they are completely out of shape after giving birth." Bitter Melon Face said.
He is right. The obesity rate in Tu'ao is among the highest in the world. There are more than 30 million people in total, and more than 10 million people are obese. The daily food has extremely high calories, and due to physical factors , unable to lose weight at all.
"You'd better be honest for a few days, save more bullets, and replenish the ammunition depot, hahaha."
Chen Xi said goodbye to him and strode outside the hospital.
At this moment, Xia Lian was lying on the single bed in the apartment room, her body curled up under the thin quilt, trying to resist the cold air.
The room is extremely small, only able to accommodate a spring bed and a few simple furniture. The apartment has a layout of two bedrooms and one living room. Although it is dilapidated, it has been kept extremely clean by Xia Lian. Many things in the house are cleverly made from waste.
She lay on the bed, breathing into her hands, trying to warm her cold fingers.
There is no air conditioning in the house, and even if there was one, she would probably be reluctant to turn it on.
The cold temperature brought her thoughts back to what happened last night. Those painful memories stung her heart like needles, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
In this small and cold room, Xia Lian's inner world is as barren and lonely as her living environment.
However, even in the face of such difficulties, she still maintained her love for life and her vision for the future.
What should I do!
He has a girlfriend. Will it affect his relationship with his girlfriend if I go to work there? I... am already like this, can I still get married in the future? Will others look down on me? I heard that men are very concerned about that.
When she thought that she might be rejected by her future husband, she couldn't help crying again.
When she recalled the passion last night and Chen Xi's handsome and gentle face, a blush suddenly appeared on Xia Lian's face. She couldn't help but fall into reverie, how great it would be if she could become his girlfriend.
Xia Lian, it’s wrong for you to think this way. You can’t destroy other people’s feelings.
Forget it, let’s leave it at that, the worst possible outcome is that I won’t get married in the future.
Due to all the tears she shed and the physical exhaustion from the previous night, it didn't take long for Xia Lian to fall into a deep sleep.
Chen Xi drove to Richmond and parked the car in front of the company building. He saw Gouzi and Tran standing at the door smoking, so he walked over and greeted them.
"Why are you here?" Tran asked with a smile.
"Come and see, how have you been these two days?" Chen Xi asked, lighting a cigarette.
“It’s quite busy, there’s a lot of business! By the way, sister-in-law, I’ve arranged it for you. All I have to do is answer the phone and process documents.”
"What sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, I have a girlfriend."
Chen Xihei whispered in Gouzi's ear.
"Oh, so this is the second sister-in-law?"
"Forget it, I don't want to explain to you anymore, is there still a place in the company?"
"Huh? Who will be arranged this time? Third sister-in-law?" Gouzi covered his mouth with a smirk.
"What positions are still lacking in the company? Suitable for women. Forget it, forget it, I will arrange it myself." Chen Xi waved his hand after thinking about it.
"Haha." Tran couldn't hold it in any longer. He was in a good mood recently. Since Chen Xi opened a company here, he has also gained some financial benefits. What is even more worth mentioning is that the relationship between the Vietnamese and the Chinese has also been significantly eased.
Now two-thirds of the company is Vietnamese and one-third is Chinese, and the two sides get along well.
In the office on the second floor of the company, Chen Xi sat on the sofa, opposite the Vietnamese woman in front of him. There were only two of them in the room, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle and complicated.
Listening to Gouzi calling this woman "Second Sister-in-law" before, Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't even know the other person's name, and was no different from a stranger.
Although there was no relationship between them, the inexplicable intimacy made Chen Xi feel a little uncomfortable.
Although we have seen everything, it doesn’t matter, we are all adults.
"What's your name?"
"Alva."
"How is work?"
"Well, that's good, thank you!"
"Yeah."
Neither of them knew what to say next, nor how to break the deadlock.
The atmosphere in the office became extremely awkward. Chen Xi glanced at Alva. She had a good figure and was dressed in professional attire. She exuded an irresistible charm, which made him feel an irresistible feeling in his heart. Suppressed impulses.
He suppressed the evil fire in his heart, turned his attention to work, and asked: "Are there any easier job vacancies in the company?"
This question broke the awkward atmosphere and gave the two people a new topic for communication.
"I am now responsible for contacting customers, which is considered customer service, and then sorting the orders. Currently, in the company, one person does several tasks..." What Alva means is if it is broken down into segments, what is it? There is a shortage of people because now everyone is responsible for several things.
But there is no other way. After all, it is not a big company, and each position requires a dedicated person to be responsible for it.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Xi frowned.
It seems that Xia Lian can only be sent to Sihai or a cram school.
Chen Xi left Richmond and ran to Matthew with the documents in his hand.
When he walked into the second floor of the cram school, he almost felt unfamiliar because earth-shaking changes had taken place here. The entire space is arranged in an orderly manner, full of order and beauty.
There are some honorary certificates hanging on the wall, which Alin and other teachers have obtained before. The existence of these certificates is not only to leave a good first impression on the students, but also to show the place. The professionalism and competence of teachers.
A clear house number is posted on the door of each classroom, allowing students to easily find their class location.
There is also a sign on the wall specifically for posting class schedules, as well as an area to display teacher information.
These thoughtful arrangements not only provide convenience but also increase transparency, allowing students to better understand their teachers and the courses they are studying.
This professional presentation further enhances students’ trust and goodwill in the cram school.
"Ahem, why didn't you ask us to help you?"
Looking at Matthew standing on a chair and pasting something on the wall, Chen Xi coughed.
"Ah, you're here! I see you are quite busy. I am also idle when I am idle." Matthew pressed a piece of paper against the wall, then beat it a few times, turned to Chen Xi and smiled. .
