Jiao Bai went to the wards of Qi Da and Qi Er and visited them one by one. He asked them to take good care of their injuries and to let him know if they had any difficulties.
While he was still mentally exhausted, Jiaobai went to a drug rehabilitation center. He took Liang Dong's diagnosis report from the drug rehabilitation doctor, flipped through it, and fell silent.
Liang Dong's drug addiction is quite severe and it will take him at least half a year to get out of it.
The real difficulty comes after coming out.
There is a huge difference between addictions. The Internet, tobacco, alcohol, sex, and drugs are ranked from the easiest to the hardest to quit. That's the order.
It's too easy to relapse.
Only one in a thousand people have completely quit. Who can be that one in a thousand? Everyone thinks they are, but no one is.
Besides, taking drugs will damage the internal organs and brain, and they need to be recuperated. The degree of recovery depends on the individual.
Money is the foundation.
Financial resources, support and help, these three things can be given to Liang Dong. As for the addiction, it depends on him to overcome it, everything depends on his perseverance.
Jiaobai saw Liang Dong in the indoor basketball court. He didn't go over, but stood in the corner and watched.
The patients with shaved heads and wearing blue shirts and pants were playing basketball. Liang Dong was sitting on the plastic floor, his skinny body hunched over, his eyes staring blankly into space.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
The basketball fell from the hands of a patient and flew to Liang Dong's feet, bouncing up and down. His yellow eyes moved over first, followed by his head and then his upper body.
A few seconds later, Liang Dong caught the basketball that was about to roll away with one hand and patted it reflexively.
His arms kept twitching, it was the desire for life.
The joints of Liang Dong's legs creaked, and the pulse of his lungs quickened. He slowly stood up.
Jiaobai left the basketball court. He smacked his lips amid the renewed running and shouting: "Where to go next?"
Qi Huai followed him two steps behind. Hearing this, he started thinking, and a bunch of official business to be dealt with popped up: "You want me to arrange a trip for you?"
That was an impatient tone.
"... Let's start tomorrow." Jiaobai stumbled.
That night, Jiao Bai sent Qi Huai away and went to find Jiang Yan alone, spending the night in his house that was converted from a garage.
The whole band had a rock and roll carnival for Jiaobai and had fun until dawn.
Jiaobai started to get involved in Qi's work. The project was discussed by the team, and when the two sides were almost done with the negotiation, the documents would be handed over to Jiaobai, who would read them and stamp them.
Although the team members are all Qi Yiliao's confidants, Jiao Bai still looks up information and learns a lot of financial knowledge.
One afternoon, Jiao Bai was so busy that his eye bags turned black and his mouth was covered with blisters. He accidentally spilled his Coke and was about to curse when Qi Yilao's sister-in-law came to visit.
My sister-in-law is no longer bald. She has fluffy curly hair that reaches her shoulders, a pair of delicate earrings on her ears, and she also puts on makeup.
There is an extra touch of charm in the literary and artistic elegance.
Jiaobai stopped tidying up his desk and asked, "Aunt, have you just returned to China?"
"I've been back for a few days." The aunt was wearing a black dress. She was still sentimental. When she saw Jiaobai standing behind a pile of documents, her eyes turned red. "Xiaobai, you must be very tired. You're just trying to force things to happen."
Wild rice: “…”
Qi Huai brought in the coffee. Without saying hello to his elders, he went straight to Jiao Bai to help him tidy up the table.
Jiaobai waved his hand and said, "No, go and do your thing."
Qi Huai took out a few tissues and wiped the dirt off Jiao Bai's body: "We'll have a meeting later."
"Got it." Jiaobai went to the lounge impatiently. He changed into clean clothes and came out. He found that the desk had been cleaned. Qi Huai was not there. Only his aunt was sitting on the sofa, looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong?" Jiaobai looked himself up and down.
"Nothing, I just thought, Huai Huai is a good-looking and capable child, lucky and unlucky." The aunt took a sip of coffee, "Luckily, he is a side branch, unfortunately, he is just a side branch."
The side branch is not closely related by blood and will not inherit diseases. However, secretary is the highest position of an excellent side branch.
No comment on wild rice stem.
Isn't that normal? How can one have all the good things? Qi Yiliao is a direct descendant and is lying in the research institute.
"Aunt, why did you come to see me?" Jiaobai turned the big white cat ornament on the desk.
Just as the aunt was about to speak, her cell phone rang. She picked up the call, and a warm, soft light instantly lit up the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Now she has someone she wants to marry, and has left the group of people who don't want to get married. She also wants to have a child at the age of 40. Not for the huge foundation of the Qi family, but for herself. She wants to give birth to a child after ten months of pregnancy, and have him call her mother.
Everything is a new attempt.
"I came from the research institute." said my aunt after hanging up the phone.
Jiaobai waited for the next step. He remembered that the research institute had sent a report today, and there was nothing special.
"Lanlan's mother must have told you everything about our family." The aunt looked sad. "The direct descendants were normal before they reached adulthood. After adulthood, the higher the IQ, the greater the chance of mental instability."
"It will be excessive, indulgent, violent, cruel, crazy..." The little aunt remembered something and her hand holding the coffee cup shook a little.
As Jiaobai bit on the vitamin C, his mind flashed back to some reports he had seen online, just as his aunt had described. Shen Ji knew that Qi Yiliao's family had a genetic disease, and during the confrontation last year, he took the right remedy and hired a platform to smear the Qi family, the Qi family, and Qi Yiliao. This year, it has been difficult to find any clues online.
"Genius, ordinary person, madman." The little aunt sobbed softly and cried to herself, "Sometimes, it's hard to be an ordinary person. There is no choice."
The wild rice crushed the last small piece of vitamin, and the mouth was full of the strong taste of orange. Yes, reincarnation is random.
Zhou Lanlan successfully joined the ranks of ordinary people. Fortunately, fools have good fortune.
"Since your third brother doesn't accept Xiao Ling, the research institute can only adopt a backup plan." The aunt wiped her tears and said in a caring tone, "You know about this, right?"
Jiaobai nodded. The elf was sent to the research institute in June and July last year. After more than a year of experiments, there were some results, but no other members of the Qi family had fallen ill during this period, so data could not be collected. Qi Yiliao's body could not wait any longer, so he became a test subject.
"Xiao Bai, aren't you panicking?" The aunt looked at him, hesitant to speak, "The plan has been implemented, and the result is unknown."
Jiaobai shrugged: "No time to panic."
The aunt sighed. She came here to comfort him according to the degree of his mental breakdown. Now it seems that his heart is stronger than she thought.
"I will be in China for the second half of the year. If you have any questions, you can come to me for consultation." The aunt gently reminded, "Don't do it by yourself."
Jiaobai smiled: "Okay."
At that time in mid-August, a project was suspended due to various reasons, and Jiao Bai had to start his first social engagement since he temporarily took over the management of Qi's company.
Most of the people at the dinner table were from the government, and Jiaobai was able to handle them well; they did not deliberately make things difficult for him, a rookie in the workplace.
Cen Jingmo appeared in the second half, sitting next to the center of the dinner, as the son-in-law. This was his first appearance since his wedding in June.
The illegitimate daughter of the Wang family loved him terribly. Even though there was such a big commotion on Changmin Island, she still stood up and married him to become his wife. They didn't even have a wedding ceremony.
Jiaobai only glanced at Cen Jingmo when he came in. But Cen Jingmo had been paying attention to him.
"Xiao Cen, you and Xiao Jiao must be old acquaintances, right?" someone said.
Cen Jingmo smiled politely: "I've met him twice."
"Then why are you two so distant from each other?" Another person spoke up, his breath reeking of alcohol. "What is it like for young people to reminisce about the past?"
He yelled, picked up Jiaobai's hand, and pulled Cen Jingmo's hand over.
The two hands were folded together.
Jiaobai is at the bottom, and Cen Jingmo is at the top.
The touch on the back of his hand was slippery, wet and cold, like a snake's body. Jiaobai immediately withdrew his hand. He didn't care that if the enemy didn't move, he wouldn't move.
"Handshake, another glass of wine." The man burped, "One glass!"
Cen Jingmo filled a glass of wine and walked towards Jiaobai. His white hair was tied into a ponytail, his lips were clear and full, and his whole face looked like an ancient porcelain dug out from the ground. It was so beautiful that it didn't seem like something from this world.
Everyone at the table was watching. Jiaobai stood up calmly. His glass was empty. It wasn't that he was almost done drinking, but that he had only had so much.
Face is something that you should never be reluctant to give up when it's time to throw it away. Jiaobai didn't fill the glass to the brim like Cen Jingmo did, he just picked it up and drank the remaining wine in one gulp.
It was white and prickly to the throat, and Jiaobai coughed a few times uncomfortably.
Cen Jingmo listened to Jiaobai's cough, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, his narrow and upturned phoenix eyes drooped slightly, and the deep gaze under his eyelashes was fixed on him.
After drinking, the dinner continued, but no one talked about serious matters, just chatted about random things.
Jiaobai's stomach was on fire, and he sat in a chair in a daze. Socializing was so fucking boring, either listening to people bragging or listening to people flattering.
Soon, a girl came in to serve, and there was constant laughter and conversation in the room.
There was also a girl sitting next to Cen Jingmo, the most beautiful one in the room, but he didn't even look at her. He only used a sinister and sticky look to observe Jiao Bai's actions in the intervals between relieving the pain in his heart.
Jiaobai curled his lips. Cen Jingmo, this lunatic, would have to rely on watching him, the "God", to make his living from now on.
The registration time for new students at the Medical University is three days from September 9th to 11th.
Jiaobai did everything according to plan for the first two days. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. But when he stamped the document, he stamped it on the back of his hand, and he did it twice.
There is still no good news from the research institute.
On the third day, Jiao Bai went to the Medical University, looking exhausted from staying up all night. Zhang Zhen had not yet been discharged from the hospital, so Qi Er and Qi Huai accompanied him to the school.
When the principal saw Jiao Bai again, he was even more enthusiastic than last time. He introduced the department head to Jiao Bai with saliva flying everywhere.
When Jiaobai dozed off while listening, he received a call from the research institute.
Qi Yiliao woke up.
Jiaobai sat on the sofa for a long time, then suddenly stood up and hit his knees against the coffee table.
A set of high-end tea sets made a crisp sound. The head of the department, who was describing the school's glorious history, stopped talking.
Several people looked at the excited young man, not knowing what was going on.
Zizania latifolia hurried out.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Da stammered, "Master Qi, Master Qi... is..."
"What's wrong? Tell me." Jiaobai realized something was wrong and rushed towards the elevator uncontrollably.
Qi Da tried several times and sighed: "Mr. Bai, you should come and see for yourself."
Jiaobai rushed to the research institute, his ears filled with the sound of his rapid heartbeat and breathing. He had left everything behind at school, including registration, classmates, and university life, and did not bring anything with him.
At this moment, his mind was full of old perverts.
Jiaobai braked and opened his swollen eyes wide, seeing several people walking towards him from the other end of the corridor.
Qi Dahe and two other researchers both discovered the water chestnuts, and they had strange expressions on their faces.
The leader, Qi Yiliao, had just finished the last examination. He picked up the blood-stained cotton ball on his arm and threw it into the trash can. He was about to go to his second sister's office, but stopped for a moment.
The gaze not far away was hot and bright.
Like a ball of red fire, it suddenly pounced over and tried to burn the corner of Qi Yiliao's clothes.
The owner of the sight also ran over, his dry lips slightly parted, his breath was hot and fast, his face was flushed with emotions on the verge of losing control, and the corners of his eyes were also red.
The young man was getting closer and closer. Qi Yiliao's blood felt hot for no reason. He frowned and took a step back, asking his subordinates behind him, "Who is he?"
