Footsteps came from behind.
When Ning Li turned her head, she saw Shen Zhijin holding the sealed document bag in his hand.
Seeing Ning Li looking at the gift in the glass cabinet, he was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
"It's signed."
He handed things over.
Ning Li walked over and took it with both hands.
She hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Mr. Shen, how is your recovery?"
Shen Zhijin smiled lightly.
"It's almost ready. I'll go back to school normally in two days."
Ning Li breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. Then Mr. Shen, shall I go first?"
Shen Zhijin nodded:
"Thanks a lot."
Ning Li shook her head: "It's not hard, it should be."
After speaking, she put the sealed file bag into her backpack and walked out the door.
Shen Zhijin escorted her to the door.
Ning Li turned to say goodbye, glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw a corner of the transparent glass cabinet.
Then, she looked at Shen Zhijin:
"You have a good rest."
On the way back to school, Ning Li received a call from Gu Siqi and his brothers.
"Sister Ah Li." Gu Sicheng's voice sounded very cute on the phone, "Last time you said you had time to come to Hong Kong City, why haven't you come yet after so long?"
They've all been waiting for a long time.
Ning Li rubbed her eyebrows helplessly.
"I'm sorry, I originally planned to go there as soon as possible, but something happened recently, I'm busy, so I don't have time."
The Gu family actually knew the situation here, and they were the first to receive the news.
She answered a lot of calls and messages at the time.
Gu Siyang even proposed to send some bodyguards from LY, but she ruthlessly refused.
Probably didn't tell the brothers.
"Is that so?" Gu Sicheng couldn't hide his disappointment, "Alright then."
But he also knew that since Ning Li said so, there must be no other way.
Gu Siqi took the phone:
"Sister Ah Li, why don't we go to the capital to find you in a few days? We just happen to be on vacation soon!"
Ning Li thought about it.
Shen Zhijin will be able to go back to school and gradually return to work after a few more days of raising her.
At that time, her assistant should finally have some free time.
She nodded:
"good."
Wednesday.
Early in the morning, when Ning Li came to 601, Yan Qiu and the other three were already there.
She gave them a strange look.
"Brother, are you here so early?"
Normally, she would be the first one, but she didn't expect to be the last one to arrive today.
Yan Qiu was debugging the equipment, when he heard this, he said with emotion:
"Today is the first team meeting since the boss was injured, so of course we have to pay attention!"
Fu Niannian hugged the computer, his eyes were slightly black and blue, he looked like he had stayed up late again, and he let out a long sigh:
"Isn't it? During the time when the boss was away, the progress of my experiments and thesis is really hard to describe. Now I can count on the boss coming back, and the child can finally be saved!"
Tang Yi moved to Ning Li's side.
"Junior Sister, please help me to see again, is there any problem with this PPT?"
Ning Li was helpless: "Brother, you have asked me to read it for you three times. I can be sure that it will be fine."
"That's good, that's good."
Tang Yi patted his chest,
"I don't want the boss to suddenly realize that I'm a waste because of my absence during this period."
Ning Li: "."
She turns on the computer.
The importance of Shen Zhijin to the entire research group is self-evident. Although she and Yan Qiu have fully cooperated, there are still some contents that need Shen Zhijin to come back to advance.
In fact, it is not rare for him to be delayed or even directly suspended because of his injury this time.
Fortunately, the injury was not life-threatening, and Shen Zhijin also recovered very smoothly.
Otherwise she really wouldn't know—
Familiar footsteps came.
Several people turned their heads, it was Shen Zhijin.
Compared to before, he looked a little thinner, and his handsome and clear face became more and more cold and indifferent.
However, this did not affect the excitement of Yan Qiu and the others.
There is still a future with the boss!
Shen Zhijin pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Let's each report on the progress of this period of time. Yan Qiu, you come first."
Because of the long delay in the middle, this report took a little longer than before.
By the end of the group meeting, it was past twelve o'clock.
When Shen Zhijin came back, everyone was relieved a lot, and then their mood improved.
Yan Qiu proposed to go out to rub together at night.
"How about eating hot pot?"
Fu Niannian put down the computer and said seriously, "All hands up."
Tang Yi nodded again and again:
"Yes, yes! I can do it!"
Several people quickly reached a consensus, and then looked at Ning Li in unison.
Ning Li said:
"Okay, I—"
Before she could finish her sentence, her cell phone rang.
She looked down at the caller ID and frowned.
Seeing that she didn't look very well, Yan Qiu asked strangely:
"Junior sister, what's wrong?"
Ning Li's expression returned to normal.
"It's nothing, I'll go out and answer the phone."
With that said, she walked out.
She came to the corner of the empty corridor and clicked on it.
"Hello."
A polite male voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, are you Ning Li?"
"I am."
"Hello, we are from Lincheng No. 2 Prison. Your father Ning Haizhou suffered a heart attack yesterday and has been sent to Lincheng Central Hospital. But don't worry, after rescue, he is now out of danger. But the overall situation remains the same. It is not optimistic, you are his only immediate family member, if it is convenient, it is best to come back as soon as possible."
Ning Li's hands tightened slightly.
"ok, I know, thank you."
Ning Li returned to the laboratory.
"Brother, I shouldn't be able to have dinner with you tonight."
While talking, Ning Li packed her backpack.
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Why? Junior sister, do you have other business?"
"Hmm. I might have to take a leave of absence."
Ning Li zipped up.
Fu Niannian couldn't help asking: "It's serious? Do you need our help?"
"Thank you, brother, but there's no need." Ning Li said, "My dad had a heart attack, I'll go back to Lincheng."
A few people were surprised, but they didn't expect this to happen.
"Is that so, then, what's going on now?" Yan Qiu, as a big brother, still asked one more question.
"It has been rescued, it should be fine."
Ning Li's voice was very calm.
Yan Qiu and the others didn't speak, and looked at her worriedly.
Ning Li guessed their thoughts and said:
"Brother, don't worry. In fact, my grandma also died of a heart attack. My dad has now turned the corner and there shouldn't be any problems for the time being."
Tang Yi was surprised: "Could it be inherited from your family?"
"It's just that the heart function is not very good, and the genetic predisposition is relatively small."
"Then junior sister, you—"
Ning Li smiled.
"I've had a checkup and there's nothing wrong with my heart."
Only a few people felt relieved.
Ning Li said goodbye to them, and planned to ask Shen Zhijin for leave.
However, as soon as he took a step and turned around, he saw Shen Zhijin standing outside the door. They didn't know when he came, but they didn't even notice.
But that's fine too.
Ning Li walked over: "Mr. Shen, I want to ask for leave."
Shen Zhijin didn't speak.
His eyes fixed on Ning Li, the words he heard just now kept echoing in his ears, and his heart gradually beat uncontrollably in his chest.
Ning Li thought it was a bit strange for him to look like this.
"Shen—"
"Ning Li."
Shen Zhijin's throat tightened, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and asked word by word:
"You were born in Lincheng Third People's Hospital, weren't you?"
