Xu Qiao asked Zhu Li about a lot of news that Cheng Lang had hidden the sky with his hands.

It turned out that the first time after the Xu family went bankrupt, the Zhao family's Fancui Jewelry took advantage of the situation and robbed Jin Lu. Not only did it replace Jin Lu to get several overseas cooperation projects, but it also paid a lot of money to poach Jin Lu's entire core design team.

Xu Qiao is not a silly Bai Tian who is ignorant of the world. He understands the principle of "sustaining in nature and survival of the fittest", but it does not mean that he cannot accept and understand it.

As a competitor in the industry who has been competing with Jinlu for many years, after Jinlu fell, Fancui took advantage of the situation to grab projects and poach teams. Although she is not such a "gentleman", in the cruel market, such "villain" behavior is understandable.

After all, Fan Cui was slapped by Cheng Lang at the beginning and was in a precarious situation. If you don’t take the opportunity to save yourself, you might become the next Jinlu. Who can be moral at this time?

So putting aside personal grievances, it is common for Jinlu to lose to Fancui.

But what Xu Qiao cared about was some of the rumors that Zhu Li said.

According to rumors from outside, Jinlu tried to get a investment from Townsend at the last moment of struggle, but the Zhao family stumbling. When Jinlu's grassroots employees came to the company for trouble because of their wages arrears, Townsend went to find out the bottom of the matter, which led to the collapse of the cooperation negotiations.

So if the rumor is true, it means that the Zhao family may have planted someone in Jinlu for a long time.

Moreover, according to Zhu Li’s friend in the business district, the contact between the Zhao family and Jinlu’s core design team was not after the Xu family went bankrupt, but was the first time that Jinlu had a crisis of the first time half a year ago.

That is to say, Jin Lu's ending today was the result of the Zhao family pushing behind the scenes.

Xu Qiao swears and goes around the living room: "I thought that if Jinlu is gone, you can be the king, right? Your father is gone, your aunt is still here! Wait until you wait, my aunt tells you how happy you laugh today and how bad you cry tomorrow!"

Zhu Li shook her apple muscles, feeling that Cheng Lang's decision to hide the truth before was wise.

When Xu Qiao had nothing, letting her know about this was of no use except to make her emotional collapse. But today when she was showing her sharpness and had confidence, these so-called bad things could push her forward instead.

Zhu Li is two years older than Xu Qiao, claiming that she is experienced in her peers, but Cheng Lang's scheming really makes her feel inferior.

She didn't mind adding fuel to Xu Qiao's swelling career aspirations and continued: "It seems that you probably don't know how many people outside are trying to find you these days."

"Look for me?" Xu Qiao stopped, "Those people from Zhao Baoxing want to joke with me?"

Zhu Li nodded and said that it was probably right: "If you have a few spare money at home, you will be full and you like to watch operas. I understand what it means to 'the essence of black fans is true fans'. These people are really persistent in clearing the doors everywhere and digging your whereabouts." He shrugged, "But who can clear the doors blocked by your man? If they spend the money, they will waste their money."

Xu Qiao had been in shock just now and had not had time to correct Zhu Li's words. He had accepted the information in her mouth well and said casually: "What are you a man? Don't speak so wildly, okay, I'm still a flawless jade girl!"

Zhu Li was stunned: "Which desire?"

"Of course it's jade that protects the body like jade."

"Isn't it the desire to burn your body with desire?"

Xu Qiao's heart thumped when she said it, and her face was fierce: "What are you thinking about?"

"It's not what I think, it's what Cheng Lang thinks," Zhu Li said incrediblely, "I haven't had a home run with you for so long. Could it be that his scene of saving the bankrupt daughter is enthusiastic about charity and charity?"

"Why is the decision of such a thing necessarily lies with the man?" Xu Qiao raised his chin, "It can't be another possibility, for example, it's more difficult for me to handle it?"

"So you haven't gotten into a partner yet?" Zhu Li was shocked and thoughtfully said, "You are interested in your first love reading the text, right?"

"That's not, why did you suddenly mention him?" Xu Qiao looked confused.

Zhu Li clenched his fist and coughed, his eyes avoiding: "If it's not for this reason, forget it."

Xu Qiao looked at her with her head tilted, looking like "Do you think I can be treated casually?"

Zhu Li struggled: "I think I'm sorry to you about this. I'm a little sorry for Cheng Lang. After all, I can see you today, so I'm thanking them for my blessing."

"Are you doing a rebellion?" Xu Qiao raised his waist, "Then don't you think you have something to hide from me, and you're sorry for me?"

After ten minutes of verbal debate, Zhu Li surrendered: "Okay, I said. That's it. Your first love asked me about your whereabouts."

"When?" Xu Qiao was surprised.

"Just shortly after the news of your bankruptcy came out, everyone was looking for you at that time, and I was in a state of great anxiety. One day, a man contacted my hotel and asked me if I knew where you were, saying that he wanted to help you, and that he was your former friend. At first I didn't know who the other party was, but later I checked the old story and found out that I mentioned to you that first love in elementary school, and the person was named Song Mian, right?"

Xu Qiao nodded slowly: "He said he wants to help me?"

Then later when Song Mian really met her, why did she pretend to be strangers to her?

——

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after lunch with Xu Qiao and Zhu Li, they took her car to an old community called "Jinguang City" in the east of the city.

She took off her sunglasses and looked through the half-open car window to look at the narrow facade of the community hospital: "Are you sure he is working here?"

Zhu Li nodded: "It's true, I don't know if he is on duty today."

"He is a great young man, and he doesn't go to a large hospital to show off his skills and become a general practitioner in the community? I remember that he had good grades before." Xu Qiao was confused.

"It's pretty good. It seems that I've skipped the grade in junior high school and high school. It's said that I'm quite an excellent talent. I was indeed in a large hospital before, but later I came here for some reason."

Seeing that Zhu Li didn't find out that Song Mian worked as Cheng Lang's personal doctor part-time, Xu Qiao didn't mention this.

The doctor-patient relationship between rich people is relatively private. Cheng Lang kept her secret so tightly, and she couldn't reveal any information about him to her best friend without his permission.

So she focused on Song Mian herself: "Has he encountered any difficulties?"

"Anyway, right?" Zhu Li nodded, "Can you be so uneasy?"

Xu Qiao pulled his hair away: "He is in such a bad situation and wants to help me. That shouldn't be hateful."

"Can there be any man in this world who hates you?"

"Mainly," Xu Qiao omitted Cheng Lang's part and briefly said, "I met him a while ago, but he pretended not to know me. I thought he didn't like people in the previous circle, so I didn't ask him to talk to him."

"When he met you, did you become delicious and spicy again?"

Xu Qiao blinked: "That's true."

After all, she appeared as a suspected little lover of Cheng Lang.

"Then I don't hate you, I think you have someone to take care of you and don't need him anymore, so I retreat silently." After Zhu Li said that, he slapped himself gently, "Mr. Lang, I'm sorry, I'm a smart person, just analyze the truth. If your little girl ran away with her first love, don't blame me, who told you to be so stupid."

"Hey, it's not my first love. I used to brag about you, but I'm actually a good friend, but this friendship is indeed quite precious."

"It can be seen that it is quite precious. Otherwise, the little princess who are both proud and sturdy in front of a community doctor, can be so unconfident?" Zhu Li shook his head, and paused when his eyes fell outside the car window, and pushed her, "Here's here, is that?"

Xu Qiao turned his head and suddenly looked at him with a doctor in white coat pushing out the door.

She was about to hide her head under her when she suddenly heard a sound: "Xiao Song is here!"

Song Mian's eyes moved away from her, stretched out his hand in her pocket, supported the person in charge, helped the trembling old man into the door, and said something to the person with a smile.

After the nurse inside took the old man, he turned his head and looked at Xu Qiao.

This is to recognize her.

Xu Qiao no longer felt embarrassed, opened the car door, walked up the steps, stood in front of him, and waved to him as naturally as possible: "Doctor Song."

"Miss Xu," Song Mian nodded at her and glanced at the car behind her, "It's Mr. Xiao Cheng..."

"No," Xu Qiao waved his hand, "That's Zhu Li's car."

Song Mian's eyes changed slightly. He probably guessed what Zhu Li said to her. He was stunned. He smiled helplessly and sighed: "Xu Qiao, long time no see."

Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "You are willing to recognize me on the third side, you are too unfavorable."

"Sorry," Song Mian glanced at her light clothes and pointed inside, "It's cold outside, let's talk."

"Don't disturb your work?" She looked inside.

"It's okay, the lunch break is not over yet." He opened the door for her and made a gesture of "please".

——

Except for the old man who came to have some sickness in advance, there are no other patients in this community hospital for the time being.

Xu Qiao followed him into the clinic all the way, sat down on a simple chair, and found a conversation and asked casually: "So you work in the afternoon?"

"No, I'm worth a day." Song Mian poured her a cup of warm water with a disposable paper cup, "Sorry, this is the only one here."

Xu Qiao waved his hand and signaled that it was not hindered. He took a sip of face and asked again: "Let you be a doctor on New Year's Day and work all day? This community hospital has such a strong work intensity."

Song Mian sat down opposite: "I'm the one who arranged it. There is no need to let other doctors separate the complete holidays, anyway, I don't need to celebrate the holiday."

“No need to celebrate the holidays?”

"My family is not here and I don't have a girlfriend," he explained with a smile.

Xu Qiao nodded suddenly and went to drink water again.

After a long time of separation, the familiar feeling seemed to be a different world. Once silent, the atmosphere became dry.

As a result, both of them were searching for topics in their minds, and finally they spoke in unison: "You..."

Song Mian was stunned and smiled: "You talk first."

"It's nothing," Xu Qiao laughed dryly, "I just want to ask you how you have been doing in the years you left Beicheng."

"It's pretty good," Song Mian seemed unwilling to mention the past, and said in a simple sentence, "Actually, after returning to North City last year, I thought about finding you to reminisce about the past, but later I heard that you were doing very well..."

"It's so prosperous?"

Song Mian was amused by her: "Yes, so I think you probably don't need me as an old friend. And to be honest, I always felt that it was a bit...I'm sorry for you, so I didn't recognize me the first two times, so I didn't say hello to you."

Xu Qiao blinked his eyes quickly: "Oh, that's a trivial matter, so... I was very angry at the beginning, but I'm still reasonable. I knew you left because of a family accident, so I forgave you a long time ago. And now... I can especially understand your mood at that time."

Song Mian's eyes dimmed: "How are you now? Are there any difficulties?"

"No, I'm fine." She shook her head, looked around, and whispered, "How come you, why haven't you worked in a big hospital?"

Song Mian lowered his head slightly, as if he was hesitating about something, but when Xu Qiao waved his hand and signaled that it was okay to say it, he nodded to himself: "You should be honest with your old friend."
