"I... I'm really not what you think. I'm really not that kind of person."
Nie Cai was dumbfounded. It seemed that Xiaoli had also misunderstood him.
Wang Zhiyu had such a deep prejudice against him that she had already left a "lascivious" mark on him since they were on the plane.
But she didn't know that Nie Cai wanted to find Zhang Xinyu because he was forced by Sun Ying and had to do it. He was not fascinated by the so-called beauty at all.
"oh."
Xiaoli followed Wang Zhiyu and shared the same hatred. She just said "Oh" and went to find people from Jinqiao Company, not even bothering to talk to Nie Cai.
Nie Cai scratched his head and could only sigh helplessly.
The bidding was over, and the rest was all the finishing touches. He couldn't help much by staying in this venue, so he simply left.
When we walked out of the bidding venue, it was already dusk outside.
Wang Zhiyu was offended, so he definitely couldn't go to the hotel. Now Nie Cai had nowhere to go in the capital and could only wander aimlessly on the streets.
But just when Nie Cai walked onto the road, Nie Cai's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Director Xue's number.
"Nie Cai, your mobile phone has a signal. I have been calling you for a long time..."
Director Xue's rough voice rang out from the phone and said: "Come to Lao Qin's house. Lao Qin cooked a table of food today to thank you. Everyone is here and waiting for you!"
"Thank me?"
Nie Cai then remembered and secured sponsorship to revive Qin Xiao's founding ceremony archives restoration team. He could be said to be Lao Qin's "benefactor", and he should be grateful to himself no matter what.
He just put his cell phone in the dimensional space to save trouble. There was no cell phone signal inside, so he didn't take it out until later.
"Isn't it too much trouble?"
Nie Cai said a little embarrassed.
"No trouble, why trouble? Lao Qin hasn't been so happy for a long time. Where are you now? Come quickly, the address is at xxxx..."
Director Xue asked for Nie Cai's address and found that Lao Qin's house was not far from here. It only took ten minutes to walk there.
"Okay, just drink, I'll be here right away!"
Director Xue was so enthusiastic that it was difficult to resist. In addition, Nie Cai also wanted to discuss the specific restoration matters with Qin Xiao, so he simply agreed.
Ten minutes later.
Nie Cai found Qin Xiao's home, which was an old and dilapidated tube building. It was estimated that the house was ten or twenty years old.
Qin Xiao's home was on the third floor. Nie Cai knocked on the door. Soon, Qin Xiao, wearing an apron, opened the door.
"Xiao Nie, you are here. I have been waiting for you and cooked some vegetables for you!"
Qin Xiao warmly welcomed Nie Cai in and said.
"It's too much trouble... I just want to come and sit here..."
Nie Cai was a little flattered and said.
"Hey, don't be polite to Lao Qin. Sit down quickly."
Director Xue was already tipsy and loudly called for Nie Cai to sit down.
This house is quite small, and with a dining table in the living room, there is not much space left.
Fortunately, there was only one person sitting at the table, Director Xue. If a few more people were squeezed in, the space would be even smaller.
Nie Cai noticed that even the TV in the living room was an old-fashioned CRT TV, covered by a yellowed white TV cover with a flower pot on it.
It seems that Qin Xiao is indeed similar to what Director Xue said. The family conditions are not very good, otherwise he would not be forced to almost resign.
A little girl about three or four years old opened the bedroom door and glanced at Nie Cai curiously, but then quickly shrank back, seeming to be very timid.
"Try Lao Qin's craftsmanship. Lao Qin is a good man. He does all the cooking at home."
Director Xue opened a bottle of beer for Nie Caiqi with a bottle opener and poured him a slow glass.
"You're welcome. Originally I said I wanted to invite you out to eat, but old Xue Feide said he wanted to eat the shredded pork with Beijing sauce I fried, so I'm sorry for you. I'm a small family, so please forgive me."
At this time, Qin Xiao came over with a bowl of steaming dishes, then took the apron and sat at the table.
"It's good to eat at home. Xiao Nie is the second generation. He has never tasted any delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he has never tasted the authentic home-cooked dishes from the capital. Your family conditions are not good, so why waste all that money!"
Director Xue waved his hand and said.
"By the way, have my sister-in-law and the children eaten?"
Nie Cai picked up the chopsticks, seemed to remember something, and asked.
"Just let them eat in their room and don't worry about them."
Qin Xiao shook his head, seemed to be feeling a little emotional, drank a drink with Nie Cai, and then said: "This dish seems to be cold, I will heat it up for you, you guys wait..."
After saying this, he picked up the apron again, picked up the dishes and ran to the kitchen.
"what happened… "
Nie Cai felt something was wrong in Qin Xiao's tone and watched him walk into the kitchen before quietly speaking to Director Xue.
"Oh, you don't know, it's not easy for Lao Qin..."
Director Xue glanced at Qin Xiao who was busy in the kitchen, took a sip of wine, and then said helplessly: "Originally, Lao Qin wouldn't have done so badly, but Lao Qin's child was diagnosed when he was two years old. He suffered a rare serious illness. In order to treat his child, Lao Qin gritted his teeth and sold his house and moved to such a shabby and small place... "
"Selling the house to treat illness?"
Nie Cai was a little surprised. He knew that Qin Xiao must have something on his mind just now, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"What's the disease? Maybe I can help?"
Nie Cai said with some sympathy.
"It's a very rare disease. You can't help him. Anyway, he spent two to three million seeking medical treatment everywhere in the capital, and the child's disease is getting worse day by day..."
Director Xue sighed, and then said: "Lao Qin, this child, was normal before she was three years old, but then she suddenly had convulsions from time to time. Later, she was taken to Union Medical College Hospital for a checkup and found that she actually had a disease called childhood tuberculosis. A rare disease called tuberous sclerosis! This disease is also known as tuberous sclerosis. The incidence rate is extremely low, only one in 100,000. It can be said to be a rare disease. I didn’t expect that such a low chance would happen to her. They met. Lao Qin and his wife shed tears because of this disease, and even sold their house for treatment. Two years later, her condition has not improved at all, and her epileptic attacks have become more and more frequent. I also became autistic and depressed.”
Hearing this, Nie Cai's expression suddenly became a little strange.
Tuberous sclerosis in children
I didn't expect to meet a fellow patient here. Isn't this disease exactly the same as that of my sister Nie Fei
