After staying with my mother for a while, I left the hospital.
Thinking of the phone calls from Liu E in the past few days, I thought of a person, Qi Zhouyang.
I haven’t seen him for a long time, and the scheduled time has been postponed because I have too many things to do. What surprised me was that Qi Zhouyang didn’t contact me during this period, not even in his circle of friends. Updated.
I took out my cell phone and tentatively dialed Qi Zhouyang's number. It rang for a while before someone answered, "Hello, Sister Shu."
Qi Zhouyang's voice seemed to be very tired. It was different from him before, at least it sounded and felt different.
"Xiao Qi, do you have time at noon? Let's have dinner together." I took the initiative to meet him because I wanted to have a good talk with him about Xiang Qing. He and Xiang Qing have many friends in common, and maybe we can find out who Xiang Qing is. Dead or not.
I believe what Jin Han said, but I still want to be sure.
Qi Zhouyang was silent for a while, and then replied, "Okay, where can we eat?"
"I'll wait for you near your company so I won't delay your work in the afternoon." I answered immediately.
"Okay." Qi Zhouyang didn't say much and just hung up the phone.
After a few words, I felt that something was wrong with Qi Zhouyang. We had no contact during this period, and I was in trouble and knew little about his life.
Could it be that he has found a girlfriend again, so he wants to avoid suspicion?
I think Qi Zhouyang is not that kind of person. If he really finds a new girlfriend, I will be happy for him, and he will not alienate me or avoid me because of this. In addition, what happened to me will be reported by the media. No matter what happened, Qi Zhouyang would ask about my situation.
I drove to the Nanjia head office. Qi Zhouyang had been promoted there before, which was regarded as a promotion, and now he naturally works there.
I found a relatively affordable restaurant nearby and sent the address to Qi Zhouyang.
At noon, Qi Zhouyang appeared.
The sunny and cheerful boy in my impression disappeared, and was replaced by a young man wearing a suit, but with a tired face. He lost a lot of weight, his brows were always furrowed, and even his walking pace changed. Extremely urgent.
I looked at Qi Zhouyang in astonishment. I couldn't figure out what happened during this period of time to make him seem like a different person.
"Sister Shu." When he saw me, Qi Zhouyang showed a smile on his face. In this smile, I could barely see the shadow of his former self.
"Xiao Qi, have you been very tired recently?" I couldn't help but ask.
Qi Zhouyang sat down opposite me, took off his coat and put it aside. Looking at it this way, I could see his thin body more clearly, as if he was malnourished, and his face was a little pale.
How old is he and he has no serious illness? How could he be in this state?
"I'm fine, I'm just under a lot of work pressure." Qi Zhouyang avoided my eyes and lowered his head to drink water.
"No matter how stressful your work is, you should pay attention to your health. You are still very young. Making money is important, but your health is more important." I advised earnestly. I am a person who has experienced death once, and I know that health is priceless.
This is also why I chose to give up the company, because I don't want my parents to work hard anymore. As long as they are healthy and safe and can always be with me, I will be satisfied.
Qi Zhouyang nodded and replied obediently, "I know, Sister Shu, but why do you have time to come to me today? By the way, I have seen the results of the case between you and Xiang Qing. Congratulations, God His eyes are bright!"
It seems that Qi Zhouyang is still paying attention to my news, but he has not contacted me.
I smiled and said, "Well, I finally have a clean slate."
I planned to take advantage of the situation and talk about the unknown life and death of Xiang Qing, but Qi Zhouyang's cell phone rang. After he glanced at the caller ID, he answered the phone with some embarrassment.
Even though he didn't turn on the speakerphone, I still heard the loud voice on the other side of the phone. I couldn't hear the specific content. I could only feel that the other person was in a bad mood, like he was yelling at someone.
Qi Zhouyang listened to the other party's roar, and finally said cautiously, "Okay, I, Mashan, will go back."
After saying that, he hung up the phone and stood up in a hurry, "Sister Shu, I have to go back to work. If you have any questions, please send me a message, but I may not be able to reply soon. Don't worry, I will I will definitely come back when I have time!”
Listening to Qi Zhouyang's anxious words, I became more and more confused. He reached for his coat, but his arm was exposed from the sweater.
I saw some bruises, like someone had punched me.
I immediately stood up and grabbed Qi Zhouyang's hand and pulled his sleeve up. The dense wounds on his arm appeared, as well as the scars cut by the knife. I was shocked, "Xiao Qi, this, this what's going on?!"
Qi Zhouyang hurriedly put down his sleeves to cover the injuries, and then avoided my eyes and explained, "I'm fine. I accidentally rolled down the stairs two days ago, so that's all."
"What about your scars?" I didn't believe it.
"That was accidentally cut. Sister Shu, don't worry, I have to go back to work!" Qi Zhouyang seemed very nervous and wanted to leave.
But I can't let him go like this. His affairs haven't been explained clearly yet. Although I can't protect myself now, I treat him as my younger brother. If something happens to him, I can help him. will definitely help.
Qi Zhouyang still refused to say anything, until I threatened him and said that I would go to his company to ask, and he showed a broken look, "Sister Shu, I don't want you to worry about me, it's me who is useless! "
My heart sank, Qi Zhouyang was indeed hiding something from me.
Later, Qi Zhouyang told me what happened with red eyes. It turned out that he had been severely bullied in the company. Not only was he inexplicably fined, but he also had to work overtime for free. He was ostracized and isolated by his colleagues... and even beat him.
The bruises on his hands were caused by being beaten by his colleagues, but the scars were made by him without thinking.
He already had a tendency to suffer from depression, but he never talked about it with his family or friends.
"Is it because of me?" I blurted out.
Because this is Nan's company, and Nan Yu knows that Qi Zhouyang knows me and has a good relationship with me, it makes sense to deliberately target Qi Zhouyang.
I was worried about this problem at the beginning, but I thought it was a good opportunity for Qi Zhouyang to enter the Nan family, and I didn't want to stop him for some unknown reasons.
"Sister Shu, no, it's not because of you. Don't think too much about it. It's just that I'm useless!" Qi Zhouyang comforted me instead and kept blaming himself for being useless.
