The temperature in the capital has been extremely unstable these few days and Lin Xi caught a severe cold again.
Chu Muqing called and invited a doctor to come to the house. Lin Xi lay weakly on the bed to measure her temperature and she really had a high fever.
The doctor originally planned to prescribe medicine but Lin Xi insisted that she should get better soon and asked the doctor to give her a hanging bottle, so that she could get better sooner.
The doctor didn't dare to call the shots, so he went to see Chu Muqing tentatively, until Chu Muqing nodded politely, the doctor immediately followed suit and asked the nurse to put iv on Lin Xi.
After the hanging bottle was hung up, Lin Xi's cheeks were still flushed and Chu Muqing put her hand on her forehead, which was terrifyingly hot.
Lin Xi didn't mind at all and was half-burnt on the bed lazily.
"Don't worry, I'll get better tonight and I won't delay the meeting between the two families."
The sunlight from outside the window came in through the transparent glass window and shone on her face. Chu Muqing could see her long eyelashes that were slightly curled. The warm sunlight on the eyelashes seemed to emit a golden light. At this time, her eyes also became tired and lazy. When a girl with delicate facial features is weak, it is easy to arouse people's desire to protect.
Chu Muqing replied softly, "ok, do you want to sleep?"
Lin Xi looked at her helplessly: "But I just woke up not long ago."
Chu Muqing looked at the tablet placed beside her bed and reminded, "Don't look at the tablet again."
Lin Xi immediately smiled kindly: "Don't worry, I will definitely not look."
Chu Muqing escorted the doctor and nurse out. Lin Xi looked at the video on the tablet that she was just watching and finally closed the tablet.
The company has just finished the year-end meeting and there will be a holiday in less than a week. Originally, she only needed to take one day off. In order to meet the two families but she had a severe cold and the meeting was postponed until tomorrow, so she could only take another day off.
She was worried about the company's affairs in her heart and was thinking of calling Chen Yue but just as she thought of it, the other party's phone number had already called.
Lin Xi picked up the phone. On the other end, Chen Yue said, "Ms. Lin, there's a visit from President Duan Qingqing."
Lin Xi didn't have this name in her mind but felt a little familiar: "Is there an appointment? If there is an appointment, then apologize for me and say I'm sick."
Chen Yue immediately said: "There is no appointment, he suddenly visited today." Chen Yue also reminded: "This President Duan is very famous overseas. The private bank he founded has cooperated with many large foreign companies and now he's back in China for Development, Zheng Yayi received him in the VIP room and he seemed to be very optimistic about our Engan."
Lin Xi suddenly remembered that Duan Qingqing had a famous reputation and studied at a well-known foreign institution. After graduation, he did not return to China but stayed abroad and established a private bank that was later internationally renowned.
His background is a mystery and he lived in an orphanage before going abroad. There is no one named Duan in the family of well-known domestic entrepreneurs. There are also rumors that he is the illegitimate son of an entrepreneur. There are even rumors that he is the illegitimate son of Lin Zhourong, Where the resources come from.
However his previous business was abroad. It was rumored that when he was going to return to China, several bosses who had cooperated with Lin Xi in business even joked, who can win the favor of this President.
Unexpectedly, Duan Qingqing was the first to throw an olive branch and it turned out to be to Engan.
"Mr. Duan means that he wants to see you in person and ask when you have time." Chen Yue continued.
Lin Xi thought for a while: "Help me make an appointment this Thursday. I will visit him in person at that time."
"Okay, Ms. Lin, I'll go talk to Ms. Zheng and ask her to tell him." After Chen Yue finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately, turned her head and knocked on the door of the VIP room.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, then took the tablet again and typed the words Duan Qingqing in the search column.
On the screen, a picture of a thin man in a suit and leather shoes came into view. The information column showed that he was the same age as Lin Xi but his eyebrows were much more mature than Lin Xi.
Then there were various reports from the media and they praised him as the light of the Chinese without hesitation. Netizens on Weibo also commented on him as a hero who makes money from foreigners.
Lin Xi looked down further and saw the relevant gossip report that they suspected that he was Lin Zhourong's illegitimate son.
She thought about it, took a picture and sent it to Lin Dongxing.
Lin Xi: [Do you think he and Uncle Lin look alike? ]
Lin Dongxing's news came back very quickly. It seemed that he didn't work at the moment and was resting.
Lin Dongxing: [? ]
Lin Dongxing: [Does he look as handsome as me? ]
Lin Dongxing: [Don't talk about me, he can't even compare to the boss? ]
Lin Xi: [...]
Lin Xi: [I understand. ]
Lin Dongxing: [Old Lin is usually very prudent, there is no possibility of having an illegitimate child at all and besides, the scale of Cinda Private Bank is almost comparable to the scale of financial creation and Lao Lin can't go bankrupt and promote the illegitimate child to the top. ]
Lin Dongxing: [This is not scientific. ]
Lin Dongxing: [To be fair, if Lao Lin had such an illegitimate child, Auntie Rong would kill Lao Lin, can you believe it? ]
Lin Xi: [...I just gossip with you, casually, don't get excited. ]
Lin Dongxing: [I'm not excited, it's because I look down on Duan Qingqing. ]
Lin Xi: [? ]
Lin Dongxing: [Our company changed owners and the big boss changed to Duan Qingqing last month and then the agent came to talk to me about contract renewal. Its annoying. ]
Lin Dongxing: [To be fair, I especially hate group of capitalists. ]
Lin Xi: ...
Lin Dongxing's dissatisfaction will overflow the screen and even implicate her.
Just as she was about to reply to the message, Chu Muqing had already pushed open the bedroom door and entered.
Seeing Lin Xi struggling to hold the phone with her free right hand, Chu Muqing turned her head and reminded again, "Lin Xi, can't you rest well?"
Lin Xi smiled and threw the phone aside: "Of course, have you paid the doctor yet?"
"yeah, it's paid." Chu Muqing looked at her and asked again, "Are you... uncomfortable?"
Lin Xi was so moved that she straightened up and said to her, "It's alright. It's estimated that the fever will subside soon."
"No, I mean..." Chu Muqing lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Is there any sweat on your body and if you feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and then her face was a little red and she explained: "I didn't sweat and even if I did, I would be able to take a shower right away... You didn't..."
You didn't have a hot bath towel prepared for me, did you?
She didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence but Chu Muqing realized it and her expression immediately became a little unnatural.
Her lips twitched and just as she was about to say something, Lin Xi immediately urged: "Well... go to work, I'll get better after I finish the fluid, don't worry about me anymore."
"ok, good." Chu Muqing looked at her with concern: "What do you want to eat? I'll let Auntie do it."
Lin Xi thought for a while then blinked at her: "I want to eat egg custard with shrimp in it."
Chu Muqing looked into her eyes intently and said warmly, "Okay, I'll tell Auntie when I go downstairs."
After Chu Muqing left, although Lin Xi was on sick leave at home, she still received several calls from the company one after another. It seemed that working from home was not bad but her head was still drowsy.
Chu Zhi and Shu Yu got up and the two children went into her bedroom nervously when they heard that the servant said she was sick.
Lin Xi raised her head, saw the two little fellows beside the bed and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Chuzhi glanced at her anxiously and said in a milky voice, "Mother Lin, why are you sick again?"
Lin Xi realized later that her body seemed to have a high frequency of illnesses recently.
Even Xiao Shuyu looked at her with a frown.
Lin Xi raised her hand, rubbed the fleshy little face of Xiao Chuzhi nearby and then lightly touched Xiao Shuyu's head before saying, "Don't worry, I will get better soon." She deliberately raised her face again and reminded the two children, "You must eat carefully, keep warm and be obedient or you will be like me and get injections when you get sick, do you understand?"
The two little guys nodded one after another and their cute looks made people like them no matter who looked at them.
When the nanny came in with the egg custard, she saw such a scene.
The two children stood beside the bed obediently, chatting with Lin Xi, the scene was indescribably harmonious.
The nanny aunt came over with the egg custard. The little guys smelled the fragrance and turned around. Chu Zhi said in surprise, "Wow, it's egg custard!"
Lin Xi paused: "Do you want to eat?"
Shu Yu didn't say anything, Xiao Chuzhi nodded and shook her head again: "I won't eat, Mama Lin, you are sick, you can eat it."
Lin Xi smiled and looked away, looked at the nanny aunt and instructed, "Give them a share."
The auntie nanny was stunned for a moment and then said, "I can make another for the children. Besides, they still have breakfast."
Lin Xi insisted: "It's okay, give it to them first, I'll wait."
"But..." Auntie nanny said, "This was made for you by Miss Chu before she left."
Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment then looked at the two children apologetically: "Wait for the next one, I'm a little hungry..."
Nanny aunt: ...
The two little guys immediately nodded obediently not taking it to heart at all.
When the two children went out with the nanny aunt, Lin Xi took small bites of the egg custard in the bowl, which was moderately salty and tasted just right.
She felt a little guilty, even a little embarrassed.
But... this was made by Chu Muqing herself, if she didn't eat it, she would probably feel even more guilty...
At noon, Lin Xi received another call from Chen Yue.
Chen Yue said: "Ms. Lin, you asked me to check Duan Pingchuan's entry and exit records. There is no record. This person... seems to have never been abroad. He should have been in the country all the time."
Lin Xi frowned: "Impossible, if he hadn't gone abroad, how could he have left no trace in the country, no bank card records, ID card records or any records."
Chen Yue speculated: "Is there a possibility that Duan Pingchuan was smuggled back to China, or... the relationship was strong enough to wipe out all records."
Lin Xi paused.
Many of the rules of this alternate world seem to be too different from her original world and the system is also completely different from her original world.
No matter what the purpose of Duan Pingchuan was, Lin Xi had to be vigilant.
Even Lin's mother is worried that Duan Pingchuan will hurt her. A person who has disappeared for many years suddenly appears. What does he want to do?
Chen Yue was silent for a while, remembering something and then said: "Ms. Lin, President Duan asked you to go fishing in his private reservoir."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "fishing?"
In this freezing season? Especially when it's getting colder these days.
"Yes, Ms. Lin..." Chen Yue paused and then added: "He said that if you make an appointment on Thursday, you will be able to catch up with him to meet foreign guests and introduce you to them by the way."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said solemnly, "Okay, that's it."
"Also, Ms. Lin." Chen Yue said, "President Duan said he wanted you to bring your wife to attend."
Lin Xi paused, thinking of Duan Qingqing's lace news that he had just seen on the gossip news.
Lin Xi was displeased and said, "What kind of business talk that you need to bring your wife?"
Chen Yue: "...Okay, Ms. Lin, I'll help you decline."
In front of Engan Building, a man in a suit slowly walked down the steps and the driver immediately opened the rear door for him.
Duan Qingqing got into the car, the white-haired old man beside him was wearing an expensive suit, his face was full of traces of time but his eyes were bright.
"Father, Miss agreed and will come accompany you to fish." Duan Qingqing said respectfully.
"Well, what about her wife?" Duan Pingchuan asked, "Will she come?"
"...Uh, Miss didn't agree." Duan Qingqing lowered her head after finishing speaking.
Duan Pingchuan was a little disappointed. He took out a box of medicines from his arms and Duan Qingqing immediately unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and then handed her the water respectfully.
Duan Pingchuan poured a handful of pills into his hand, took the mineral water, put the whole pill into his mouth, swallowed it whole and then poured water into his mouth.
Then there was a mad cough.
"Oh, I disagree, the protection is so good." Duan Pingchuan pondered, his voice still hoarse: "What does this child thinking? Killing the older sister and marrying her, what is she thinking? is it Just for fun..."
"Father, have you misunderstood?" Duan Qingqing was silent for a while before he said, "Everyone said that Miss treats Chu Muqing very well, including Chu Muqing's colleagues and various videos from the media are all proving that Miss Is sincere perhaps Chu Muyun was not killed by the young lady."
"Oh? She didn't?" Duan Pingchuan sneered and looked at the scar on his hand: "Then where did my injury come from?"
