Chapter 38 Pretending to be in love
The ward was in a mess. Li Jianhua had a bowel cleanse and took some medicine. He felt a little better, but no one talked to him and he fell asleep while lying there.
Perhaps because of Bai Lanfang's usual training and instigation, Li Jianhua blamed all the responsibility for his stomachache on Su Qing.
Seeing Su Qing reaching out her hand and trying to touch his forehead, the naughty kid turned his face away indifferently.
Of course, Su Qing would not get angry with an eight-year-old child.
Anyway, Su Qing had reminded Bai Lanfang again and again that the soup was not fresh and clean, but she refused to listen and there was nothing that could be done.
Su Qing would not try to please someone else. She only came to visit him out of a little apology for not persuading the child not to drink the soup, but she had no interest in taking care of him.
After living two lives, Su Qing thought that a child's future is determined at the age of three. Judging from Li Jianhua's behavior, this child will definitely be an ungrateful person in the future. Seeing Bai Lanfang's face, the child has been a blank slate since childhood, and will definitely be influenced by the good around him.
Bai Lanfang sent telegrams to mobilize people and made all kinds of calculations, but today her calculations fell on her son. This should be considered as evil deeds being rewarded with evil.
Lu Xingchen hardly spoke. Most of the time he just looked at Su Qing silently, with a bit more concern in his eyes.
Even Su Qing realized that since she and Lu Xingchen started sleeping in the same bed, Lu Xingchen, who used to keep his distance from her, was now a little closer.
After blood tests and laboratory tests, the results came out and the doctor prescribed the right medicine. The patient's condition improved and he could be discharged from the hospital.
Su Qing looked at her pocket watch, then raised her head and found that the sky was gradually getting darker and it was already dusk.
"It's time for dinner now. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you all to have a small gathering at the state-owned restaurant. Would you be so kind as to come?" Ye Dajing seemed to have made arrangements in advance.
The state-owned restaurant in Lingxi County is not far from the health center, less than ten minutes' walk away.
It turned out that Ye Dajing had made an appointment with Zhou Yifu, the sales director of Wan'an Farm, to jointly discuss the follow-up cooperation matters.
The Li family gathered together, waiting for the food to be served.
Ye Dajing and Zhou Yifu sat in the corner of the room, drinking Kung Fu tea and talking about work.
From beginning to end, Su Qing didn't say a word, and she just cracked melon seeds slowly, as if it was nothing to do with her.
Zhou Yi-fu was very enthusiastic and even brought bacon and roast pork produced by Wan'an Farm and asked the waiter to take them away for processing.
This time, Bai Lanfang was very careful and didn't let Li Jianjun eat too much.
Lu Xingchen sat up straight, occasionally picking up a few pieces of pickled radish cut into small pieces with a toothpick.
When Su Qing worked in the catering industry in her previous life, she also paid great attention to details regarding this kind of appetizer. She didn't expect that the state-owned restaurants here also considered it so thoroughly.
Over there, Ye Dajing and Zhou Yifu were at some point in the conversation when they suddenly stopped talking.
In fact, the two of them were not competing for mutual interests, but the business matter exceeded the scope of their acquaintance, and they needed to go back and understand it clearly before conducting further research.
At this moment, Su Qing seemed to be suddenly energized. She walked over and sat down, drank a cup of Gongfu tea handed to her by Ye Dajing, and pointed out the problem directly.
Then, he couldn't stop and started talking.
Her professional comments and obscure vocabulary left the listeners jaw-dropping.
He had been silent just now, without any sense of presence, but now he was analyzing in depth the issue that Ye Dajing and Zhou Yifu could not reach an agreement on.
It started from the perspective of fairness and justice, explained things in a simple and easy-to-understand way, yet was convincing. In particular, it gave three pertinent suggestions, which made both parties immersed in them and did not feel abrupt at all.
As they were talking, Su Qing seemed like a different person, and even Lu Xingchen felt like he didn't recognize her anymore.
What’s more important is that the representatives of the two farms actually understood it, and both sides agreed with Su Qing’s suggestion.
Of course, Su Qing has experienced the era of knowledge explosion in the future. Not to mention this small business between the two farms, even the negotiations between two listed companies can be easily handled by Su Qing.
Moreover, the three suggestions just mentioned were exactly the results of Su Qing entering the space and exploring with her mind while she remained silent.
Because the system has long developed the address check-in function, Wan'an Farm is located in another county and is relatively far away from the Novice Village, so the suggestions given by the system are relatively more reasonable and detailed.
The two sides almost broke down the negotiations. If the negotiations were unsuccessful, it would bring him unnecessary trouble and would also cause him the embarrassment of a cold silence.
Unexpectedly, Su Qing suddenly stepped forward and easily resolved the situation on her own. The two farm representatives both looked at Su Qing with approval and admiration.
Finally, after being signed and confirmed by representatives of both parties, the cooperation agreement between Jinfeng Farm and Wan'an Farm was successfully passed.
"May I know this lady's name?" Zhou Yifu stood up and extended his right hand.
"Director Zhou, ok." Su Qing also extended her hand gracefully.
The two of them were polite, and Ye Dajing quickly stood up and introduced, "Ah, it's all my fault. I forgot to introduce her. Director Zhou, she's from Hongxing Village, Niuling Town. Her name is Su Qing. She's Lu Xingchen's wife. The people at the table over there are all from her husband's family."
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you, everyone enjoy your meal and drink." Zhou Yifu picked up the Gongfu tea cup and drank it all in one gulp, replacing wine with tea.
After the discussion was over and the dishes were almost served, everyone took their seats.
"How do you know so much?" Lu Xingchen asked after Su Qing sat back. He was very curious. For a moment just now, he felt that he needed to have a new understanding of her.
Su Qing smiled and replied, "Nothing, it's just the college entrance examination. I've been reviewing my lessons and reading newspaper news recently. I've read a lot and learned about national affairs and current policies."
Of course, she was reborn with sixty-eight years of life experience, so this is definitely something she cannot say.
However, after this incident, Lu Xingchen once again felt that Su Qing was not simple. Her character and personal abilities were increasingly winning his favor, and he changed from the initial attitude of coping, using and perfunctory towards her.
Gradually become concerned, satisfied and expectant.
This subtle change in thought will naturally affect actions.
In the past, when he had meals with Su Qing, he would sit upright with his body straight, and not speak a word while eating. Feng Fancanyun quickly treated eating as a task to be completed.
And today, he picked some of Su Qing's favorite dishes several times and put them into her bowl.
This was the first time that Su Qing felt loved.
Across from them, Bai Lanfang, who had been observing the two, rolled her eyes and said, "You are just pretending. Everyone knows that you two are just pretending to be in love in front of everyone!"
