On the way to the hospital, Xu Sheng had a few words with Tang Zhi.
He said, "Go and learn from Jiang Yan," and for the first time he personally expressed his wish that Tang Zhi could sometimes take the stage.
Perhaps because the hangover had not completely resolved, Xu Sheng's voice was a little deep, and he would pause from time to time while speaking, and briefly made dozens of requests to Tang Zhi.
For example, when standing next to him, you should stand up straight and don't lean on a pillar when you find it; don't glance around; don't unintentionally prolong your speech.
They all mentioned some so-called shortcomings that Tang Zhi himself had not noticed, but because Xu Sheng's voice was more pleasant, Tang Zhi still listened a lot.
Xu Sheng seemed to have a dry mouth as he spoke. He picked up the mineral water on the cup holder on the armrest and turned away to take a sip. Tang Zhi finally found the opportunity to interject.
He said to Xu Sheng: "It turns out that Mr. Xu is so dissatisfied with me. In this case..."
The second half of the sentence was "Miss Xu should have been sent to the hospital earlier, so there would not have been so many troubles", but Tang Zhi did not continue.
Because Tang Zhi suddenly realized that this sentence was very hurtful.
The words were suddenly interrupted in the middle of the conversation, and Xu Sheng did not let Tang Zhi continue.
He was silent for a while and said to Tang Zhi: "I am not satisfied with you."
"My sister wanted it," he said.
The driver held the steering wheel steadily as if he didn't hear anything.
Tang Zhi felt that he might have imagined the confusion, confusion and thought in Xu Sheng's tone, so he became slightly soft-hearted.
He felt like Xu Sheng was like a little boy who returned home and found that all the dolls beside his bed had been thrown away.
The little boy doesn't actually need to be accompanied, but he wants the doll to be there.
Immediately, Tang Zhi felt that his analogy was a bit ridiculous. Xu Sheng did not look like a little boy from any angle.
Tang Zhi stopped thinking about it and didn't look back at Xu Sheng, because Xu Sheng would definitely tell him to turn away coldly.
Tang Zhi said, "Okay, Mr. Xu, I will pay attention to it."
He finally found an angle from which he could see Xu Sheng in the rearview mirror, and he found that Xu Sheng nodded in an imperceptible manner.
The private hospital where Jiang Yan and Xu Keyu lived was in the city center. It had high walls and beautiful buildings and tall trees faintly peeking out from behind the red bricks.
Tang Zhi had passed by before, but never went inside.
After getting out of the car, Xu Sheng did not let the driver follow him and asked Tang Zhi to follow him. He walked very fast, and Tang Zhi almost had to trot along with him.
There were very few people in the hospital. The security guard standing next to the elevator pressed the upward floor button for them and said hello to Xu Sheng.
After entering the elevator, when the number jumped to five, Xu Sheng suddenly said to Tang Zhi, "You go to Jiang Yan's place, and I'll go see Xu Keyu."
This was the first time Tang Zhi heard Xu Keyu's name from Xu Sheng's mouth today.
Xu Sheng didn't behave like an older brother whose sister was still in the ward. He was calm and not distraught.
"Is she still in the ICU?" Tang Zhi couldn't help but ask Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng only said "yes".
Jiang Yan's ward is opposite the nurse's desk on the top floor of the hospital, while Xu Keyu's ward is at the end of the corridor.
Xu Sheng first asked Tang Zhi to wait outside the door, went inside and stayed alone with Jiang Yan for five minutes, then walked out, said to Tang Zhi, "Go in," and then walked away.
The ward is large and has a sofa and TV.
Jiang Yan was lying on the bed, his face a little pale, but very conscious. He nodded to Tang Zhi and said hello: "Mr. Tang."
His voice was a little hoarse, a little weak, and the volume was very soft, as if if it were louder, it would scratch the wound.
The hospital bed can be raised and lowered. Perhaps because Jiang Yan was talking to Xu Sheng just now, the upper part of the bed was raised high so that he could sit up straight.
But now that Tang Zhi came in, Jiang Yan didn't need to be so tense, so he pressed the button, lowered the bed board a little, and said to Tang Zhi while lying on his back: "Mr. Xu said that I will trouble you during my absence these days. "
"I can't teach you anything," he said, "Just follow what Mr. Xu says." Then he struggled to pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table: "I'll give you the phone numbers of my frequently used contacts. If you need anything, you can Contact them. Also have Mr. Xu’s schedule for the next two months.”
Jiang Yan operated with one hand for a while. Tang Zhi's phone vibrated and he received an organized address book file and a schedule file.
"Save it all to your phone." Jiang Yan warned. Jiang Yan looks very ordinary, but he is reliable and trustworthy in his work.
Tang Zhi saved the file and said, "Okay."
"Mr. Xu said that the housekeeper fell down and the nanny's foreman also returned to his hometown. I asked and found out that the chef has also been changed," Jiang Yan continued, "I will have people come to my ward for interviews, but it may not be too soon... "
"...Mr. Xu said you only know how to cook porridge." Jiang Yan suddenly smiled at Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi immediately clarified: "There are other things too."
It was obviously because Xu Sheng drank last night and he wanted Xu Sheng to comfort his stomach, so he cooked porridge. Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng interpreted it as knowing how to cook porridge.
"Is he a picky eater?" Tang Zhi remembered and asked Jiang Yan casually.
Jiang Yan seemed to be lost in memories, and then said with some uncertainty: "Not very picky."
"Mr. Xu eats everything when he is with Director Xu," Jiang Yan said. "At home, he has some preferences for food. He likes light food, but he is not picky about food."
Tang Zhi nodded and wrote it down in his mind.
"Mr. Tang," Jiang Yan called Tang Zhi again and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
Tang Zhi looked at Jiang Yan and said, "You're welcome."
He also has a purpose, not without asking for anything in return.
Before getting his reward, even if Xu Sheng wanted to drive him away, he would not leave.
Jiang Yan looked at Tang Zhi and nodded after a while.
"If you have any questions, you can call me and ask me," he changed the subject and told Tang Zhi, "Last week's real estate auction was crucial, even though... something happened to the lady, and Mr. Xu had almost no rest.
"But all the itineraries this week, except for a few things to accompany Director Xu, have been cancelled. Starting next week, it will be very busy again. There are some visas, so you have to apply for them in advance."
He mentioned some scattered things to pay attention to, and Tang Zhi wrote them down one by one.
After finishing everything he could remember, Jiang Yan was quiet for a few seconds and suddenly said to Tang Zhi, "Mr. Xu is actually not difficult to get along with."
Perhaps because he received the disapproval message conveyed by Tang Zhi's eyes, he smiled at Tang Zhi again: "I don't know why, but he said to Mr. Tang..."
Inexplicable dissatisfaction, delusions of being victimized, tight security, and making things difficult in every possible way. Tang Zhi took it in his heart.
Jiang Yan described it implicitly: "It's not the same."
After leaving Jiang Yan's ward, Tang Zhi walked to the end of the corridor and took a look at Xu Sheng's today's schedule on his cell phone.
The original trip to the next city was crossed out.
There was nothing much going on in the afternoon, and dinner was nowhere to be found.
The corridor was not very long, and it didn't take long to reach the end. Xu Sheng was facing away from him, looking at Xu Keyu lying in the ICU.
From Tang Zhi's perspective, the hospital bed can also be seen. However, due to the long distance, Xu Keyu's bed seemed very small, surrounded by a bunch of instruments, and he looked lonely.
Xu Sheng stood in front of the transparent glass, standing alone and upright.
The lighting in the corridor is very warm and the decoration is like a warm hotel. Xu Sheng has been looking at Xu Keyu behind the glass for a long time.
Tang Zhi had no way of knowing what Xu Sheng was thinking, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He walked to Xu Sheng and didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he asked Xu Sheng: "Mr. Xu, what do you want to have for dinner?"
Xu Sheng turned around and looked down at Tang Zhi.
He was much taller than Tang Zhi, so it was inevitable that he would give Tang Zhi a sense of oppression. Xu Sheng asked Tang Zhi somewhat condescendingly: "Do you cook?"
Tang Zhi's sympathy was mostly lost.
"It's fine to eat out," Tang Zhi said, and then reported the names of several restaurants that Xu Sheng wanted to eat at that he just learned from Jiang Yan. "Which one does Mr. Xu want to eat at? Can I make a reservation?"
Xu Sheng thought about it for a long time. Tang Zhi thought he would tell him the name of one of the restaurants. Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng thought about it for so long and actually said to him: "Let's go home and eat."
Then he asked Tang Zhi: "What do you want to cook?"
Tang Zhi submitted five dish names, but Xu Sheng rejected four.
"I don't eat radishes," Xu Sheng said, "I don't eat liver."
He listed a lot of things that he was taboo about. In short, he would not eat this or that. He was picky and picky. He even asked Tang Zhi, "Do you only know Chinese food?" This was completely different from the Xu Sheng in Jiang Yan's mouth. personal.
"I can do it." Tang Zhi almost wanted to raise his hands in surrender, "You can tell yourself what you want to eat."
Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi for a while and said to him, "Whatever."
