Chapter 133 Like More Than Like
Three days later, Luo Shi received a call from Zhang Zongze from the marketing department of the Beijing branch, asking him, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Li recently?"
Luo Shi knew what was going on and asked, "What's wrong? Did he scold you?"
"I wouldn't say he was scolded, but all the plans of the marketing department were rejected. I heard that he would only come for three days, but tomorrow, the weekend, the middle and senior management will all work overtime. They said that if he doesn't come up with something satisfactory, no one will have a rest."
Luo Shi laughed out loud when he heard this.
Zhang Zongze: "Stop laughing! Tell us something so we can avoid trouble. It's only been three days and we are already in dire straits."
Luo Shi: "What's the problem? Isn't it just that you didn't do your job well?"
"But he was working overtime with a gloomy face the whole time and we were scared..."
"Hahahahaha." Luo Shi simply said, "It's okay. If you really can't stand it anymore, find a way to transfer him to Shencheng."
However, the people of Shenzhen escaped the disaster. At 10 o'clock on Thursday morning, Li Zhen, who was preparing for a meeting in Beijing, received a call from Lin Huanxi.
"Hey?"
Lin Huanxi cried, "Brother, something happened."
Li Zhen's heart tightened, "What's the matter?"
"Brother Chen fainted and is now in the hospital!"
Li Zhen's mind suddenly buzzed. He knew that Lin Huanxi called Lu Xingchen "Brother Chen", but he would rather it wasn't that person. "Who are you talking about?"
"Xingchen fainted in the bathroom before the meeting. Brother Shi and I took her to the hospital."
Li Zhen felt that his feet were unable to move because of the pressure of his falling heart. He stood still and asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation now?"
"I'm getting an IV."
"Is anyone awake?"
"Ah? Oh, I'm awake, but I'm not in a good mood."
"What caused it?"
"The doctor said to wait for the test results."
Li Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "I understand."
"Are you coming back then?"
Li Zhen was so breathless that he paused for a moment and said, "I'm going to the meeting."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, but his feet still felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move.
Zhang Zongze, who was behind him, stepped forward and asked, "Boss Li, is everything alright?"
As if someone had pushed him from behind, Li Zhen mechanically stepped forward and said, "It's okay."
After walking a few steps into the meeting room, his forward momentum seemed to disappear and he stopped again.
Lu Xingchen suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a large bouquet of roses and standing at the door of the boys' dormitory waiting for him.
Then Lu Xingchen steadily caught the basketball he threw to him, stepped back to the three-point line and threw the ball into the basket.
She rested her head on his arm, looked at the night sky with the bright stars reflected in her eyes, and said to him, you will definitely achieve great things in the future.
Lu Xingchen waited for him downstairs, sat in the cinema that had already started for half an hour, stood in the sun, waited for him, sat under the starry sky, waited for him...
Then, after not seeing each other for many years, she suddenly appeared in the elevator and said to him with a smile after being a little surprised: "Senior Brother Li, long time no see."
The buildings where she had waited for him, the cinema, the sunshine and the starry sky seemed to have returned to this city again.
But the person who had smiled and said "I wish" to him day and night, said to him with helplessness and apology: "If I knew that what I did would disgust you so much, I would not have appeared in front of you in the first place, let alone now. I also thought that it would be better if I had not let you meet someone like me."
Li Zhen's heart suddenly felt like it was torn apart, because he once asked Lu Xingchen this question: "My father passed away due to an accident a few years ago. Now my mother is raising me, my sister and my brother alone. My family conditions are not good. I can see that your life is completely opposite to mine, but why did you choose someone like me?"
Lu Xingchen replied: "A person like you? Don't you know you are excellent? I can foresee that you will achieve great things in the future."
But when Lu Xingchen helplessly classified herself as "someone like me", he replied: "You are also disgusting when you say these words now..."
Damn Li Zhen, what qualifications do you have to blame and hate her? When you had nothing, she gave you all the good things and gave herself to you.
You said at the beginning that you had nothing and could not give her anything, but now you have everything you want, what have you given her?
She said she didn't like you but she was completely devoted to you. You said you liked her but insisted that she respond in the same way. If she didn't respond you felt resentful. How can you say you like her?
… “Brother Chen fainted and is in the hospital now!”
… “Xingchen fainted in the bathroom before the meeting.”
Li Zhen suddenly turned around and handed the information in his hand to Zhang Zongze, "I have to go back to Yuecheng immediately, and I'll leave the rest to you."
Before Zhang Zongze opened his mouth to say anything, Li Zhen had already left. Walking was not enough, he suddenly quickened his pace and ran hurriedly.
“Uh…” Zhang Zongze saw that he had completely lost his usual composure and moved his neck. “I don’t know what it is, but at least he looks like a man in his twenties.”
At this time in Yuecheng, outside the infusion area of the hospital closest to the Zhencheng Building, Luo Shi asked Lin Huanxi again uncertainly.
"what did he say?"
Lin Huanxi made a bitter face, "You heard it right, he said he was going to have a meeting... He won't really not come back, will he?"
"Even if he doesn't come back for Lu Xingchen, I heard from Zhang Zongze that he will come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. By then, the top floor will become an icy hole again."
Lin Huanxi was worried about something else, "Do you think my brother really doesn't care about Xingchen anymore?"
Luo Shi was stunned by the question. "Based on my understanding of the boss, it's a bit difficult for him to let go all of a sudden. But Lu Xingchen is just his ex-girlfriend after all. And the last time the boss was in a car accident and was hospitalized, she didn't even go to see him when he called her. So it wouldn't be strange if the boss came back, but it's also reasonable if he didn't come back."
"So he really doesn't like Xingchen?"
"I can't say whether I like her or not, but I am definitely heartbroken. Think about how much the boss has done for Lu Xingchen. Lu Xingchen really doesn't appreciate it at all. If I were the boss, I would have thrown her aside long ago."
Lin Huanxi immediately looked at him with contempt, "Then why do you want me to use Brother Chen's illness to provoke my brother?"
"I..." Luo Shi was embarrassed, "I just wanted to make everyone happy. Aren't you afraid of your Black-Faced God, so you agreed to call him?"
"I don't want to talk to you. I'm going to go see Brother Chen."
Lin Huanxi felt guilty, so she went straight back to the infusion area to see Lu Xingchen. However, she didn't dare to tell her about calling Li Zhen, and she was not sure at all that Li Zhen would come back.
But in the afternoon, when Lin Huanxi just got down from Lu Xingchen's rental house, she saw a familiar car parked on the side of the road, and then Li Zhen got out of the car. She ran over with her eyes wide open, "You, why are you here?"
Li Zhen didn't answer but just asked, "How is she doing?"
Lu Xingchen's condition was not as exaggerated as Lin Huanxi told Li Zhen in the morning. She just had acute gastroenteritis caused by eating something bad, and it happened to be her menstrual period. She was in so much pain that she almost fainted in the bathroom. She happened to see it, so she called Luo Shi to send her to the hospital.
Originally, he could have taken the medicine, but Lu Xingchen had a fever, so he had to stay in the hospital for several hours on an IV drip.
"She just went to bed. I was just about to go buy her some porridge. She has been receiving IV drips since morning."
Seeing Li Zhen frowning on his tired face, Lin Huanxi hurriedly said, "It's not a serious problem. She just drank expired milk this morning and it happened to be her period. After she went to the hospital, she had a fever again..."
Why do you sound so serious?
"Don't worry too much. The doctor said that as long as the fever doesn't get worse, it won't be a big problem. But how did you find me here?"
"I asked Luo Shi." Li Zhen looked down at Lin Huanxi, "Have you eaten?"
"I had lunch."
Hearing this, Li Zhen glanced at the key in her hand.
"Give me the key, and go home for dinner."
"Ah." Lin Huanxi looked at him, "You asked me if I had eaten not because you were worried that I was hungry, but because you wanted to get the key."
Li Zhen asked calmly, "Then I'll take you to dinner first?"
"I don't want this kind of charity." Lin Huanxi pressed the key into his hand, "But remember, Brother Chen is a patient now, don't take advantage of him."
