Section 4
A name filled with a rustic charm
Qi Dong finally came to her senses. The middle-aged man who had been hit had already left, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, and the road had returned to smooth traffic. The person who had helped her resolve the trouble had also departed. She silently looked at the name on the business card she held in her hand: He Dashu
The middle-aged man who had been knocked down was pushing Qi Dong. Qi Dong still wore a pitiful expression as if she had lost her soul. The cunning and arrogant Qi Dong from that day was a stark contrast to the person she was today. She resembled a rose blooming recklessly under the sun, only to be met with hail, leaving her shattered and desolate. A fleeting glance stirred a sense of pity in He Dashu, prompting him to get out of the car to help her
The familiar face seen since childhood, at this moment, Qi Dong's smile still brightened the living room a little more. Qi Qing lowered her head and secretly sighed, why can't the still youthful and beautiful Qi Dong be happy? Thinking of this made Qi Qing's heart ache and feel uncomfortable.
That bag has gone missing
Qi Dong was taken aback. His tone of voice suggested that he knew her; did she know him?
Ah, the bag has been snatched as well?" Qi Qing exclaimed, a warning bell ringing incessantly in her mind
The LV monogram large bag can be paired with any outfit, remaining timeless no matter how many years pass. She has carried it for six years. Not because it is a branded item, but simply because of Gu Lei
A middle-aged man in his forties was lying in front of the car. Upon seeing her, he hugged his legs and shouted angrily, "How do you drive!"
General Ding of the Chuanjia Building Materials Company has been exhausting me. I am even more proactive than his own employees, reporting to his office punctually at 9:00 AM every day. Today, I finally took a day off, and I wonder if he will miss me. Qi Dong exaggeratedly recounted the clients he had been visiting daily for over a month.
Upon seeing this, the man quickly rolled up his pant legs, revealing a large bruise on his calf. He patted his leg and shouted hoarsely, "Everyone take a look, take a look! Did I extort her? I never said my leg was broken and that I was lying on the ground, right? Everyone knows that waiting in line at the hospital for registration takes time. Is it easy for me to come to the city to work? Why must she drag me to the hospital? What will I do if my boss fires me? What is her intention? I am not going to the hospital; you hurry up and pay! Everyone knows that waiting in line at the hospital for registration takes time. Is it easy for me to come to the city to work? Why must she drag me to the hospital? What will I do if my boss fires me? What is her intention? I am not going to the hospital; you hurry up and pay! I still have to rush to the construction site!"
As she opened the car door, she was stunned. In her haste to get out of the car, she forgot to lock the door, and the handbag that had been on the seat was already missing
The future ... . ... The future is merely the silence and solitude that follows the awakening from a dream. A pang of pain struck Qi Dong's heart, and a layer of moisture welled up in her eyes. She glanced around aimlessly, her gaze drifting through the flow of traffic and the crowd, her mind in a haze, unable to find its way back.
Qi Dong was taken aback for a moment, picked up the business card and examined it closely, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Not bad, not bad. Qi Qing, you may be confused in other areas, but you certainly have a knack for business!"
In a moment of distraction, the blaring of the horn pierced the air, startling Qi Dong, who then realized that the traffic had begun to move slowly while she remained frozen in place, lost in thought. She hurriedly started driving, but suddenly, a figure darted out in front of her car, causing her to slam on the brakes, and that person had already fallen to the ground.
Seeing Qi Dong's resolute attitude, the man snorted: "Three hundred is three hundred! Hand it over, I am in a hurry to get to work."
His voice is coarse, and with such a shout, it seems as if he has bumped into someone in winter and is being unreasonable.
The voice was loud... Qi Dongxian let out a sigh of relief, quickly scanning the ground and finding no traces of blood. She thought to herself that her braking had been timely, and her heart finally settled. She stepped forward with a smiling face and cautiously apologized: "Sir, I am truly sorry. Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up."
Words flowed naturally from my mouth, yet my heart was tugged by an invisible thread, causing a faint pain. Closing my eyes, Qi Dong sighed and murmured: "I want to smoke now, but I have no money to buy any. I can't go to the home improvement market either, so I can only drive to your house. Fortunately, I left a key at your place; I was so foresighted!"
She is not naturally slow-witted; she simply tends to automatically overlook certain things. Qi Qing could never forget Qi Dong's large old handbag, which she has carried for six years. Her tone was deliberately cautious, attempting to sidestep the topic of the bag. "It's not like we're signing the contract today; the order won't run away. There isn't much money in the bag. It's just a bit troublesome to report the bank card lost. By the way, what does the man who helped you look like? Did he come to the rescue because he thought my sister was beautiful?" "It's not like we're signing the contract today; the order won't run away. There isn't much money in the bag. It's just a bit troublesome to report the bank card lost. By the way, what does the man who helped you look like? Did he come to the rescue because he thought my sister was beautiful?"
The car stopped by the roadside, and a man got out. After exchanging a few words with the traffic police, he walked over to her. He slapped the car keys into her hand and said irritably, "I moved your car to the side of the road to avoid congestion. I've already paid for you; here is my business card, remember to return it to me. Why are you always so reckless when driving?"
An accident occurred! Qi Dong's mind went blank as her head filled with blood in an instant. She sat in the car in a daze for several seconds before weakly pushing open the car door and getting out.
"My package has been stolen," Qi Dong stammered, speaking with difficulty
A hand forcefully pulled her away from the car door. Qi Dong stared blankly as someone got into her car and started the engine, driving it to the side of the road
With a feeble knock, he opened the door to Qi Qing's house, and Qi Dong collapsed onto the sofa, lying in a turtle-like position: "Water!"
"No, at least six hundred," the man glared at Qi Dong and began to haggle.
Qi Qingxin, lost in thought, was flipping through He Dashu's business card. Upon hearing Qi Dong mention work matters, she smiled and raised the business card, saying: "Don't forget to pay him back! It would be best to treat him to a meal as well"
The middle-aged man grunted, stood up with a limp while rubbing his leg, and muttered, "What bad luck! It ruined my plans for today. I'm not going to the hospital; let's settle this privately. Just pay me 1,000 yuan and we'll call it even!"
"It's here! It smells so good!" Qi Dong turned around, exaggeratingly opening his mouth to feign a greedy expression
She could not hear the man's voice, nor the murmurs of the surrounding crowd, until she was suddenly pushed off balance by a slap. The middle-aged man's fierce face suddenly loomed large before her: "What’s the matter, trying to play tricks?"
She wondered suspiciously, how did he know that she would definitely repay the money? Had she encountered a living Lei Feng?
When the meal was served, Qi Qing saw Qi Dong standing on the balcony with her arms crossed. The midday sun shone through her thin shirt, as if she would melt away in the sunlight at any moment. This unintentional loneliness that emanated from her very being made Qi Qing's heart ache. She shouted, "If you're complaining about being hungry, why don't you come and eat!"
"Take a good look at the words on this business card! He Dashu, General Manager of Hemu Group Decoration Co., Ltd.! I heard from Ma Tianming that a significant order in the market recently is the renovation of the Hemu Group headquarters building! Internal news indicates that the renovation materials of Hemu Group will be publicly tendered. This is a great opportunity that has come knocking! My sister!" Qi Qing snorted and pushed the business card in front of Qi Dong. Internal news indicates that the renovation materials of Hemu Group will be publicly tendered. This is a great opportunity that has come knocking! My sister!" Qi Qing snorted and pushed the business card in front of Qi Dong.
Do you like it? I have saved up my earnings from working for half a year and my New Year's money to buy you a gift... In the future, I will earn more money to dress up my little Dong.
"Eat wool! Just say thank you after returning the money. Oh, do you want me to offer myself in return?" Qi Dong glared at Qi Qing with frustration.
The middle-aged man said something, but Qi Dong was unaware of how the traffic police arrived. She leaned against the car door, and the sunlight at eight in the morning was surprisingly blinding, causing the world to change color.
The two sisters shared a deep connection, and as they looked at each other, they burst into laughter. Inspired by Qi Dong's laughter, Qi Qing became excited as well, starting to imagine various romantic scenarios between Qi Dong and He Dashu, until Qi Dong, terrified, shouted for her to stop.
When Qi Dong got out of the car, he immediately recognized her as the arrogant woman from last time. He sat in the car, watching coldly, wanting to see her make a fool of herself. However, the sight of Qi Dong looking around in confusion, his eyes suddenly turning red, extinguished his anger in an instant
When Qi Dong saw someone take his bag, the person moved too quickly, grabbing the bag and darting through the traffic like a monkey, disappearing into the green belt on the other side of the street. He instinctively shouted, but before he could get out of the car, the person had vanished.
With a gulp, Qi Dong let out a long sigh and recounted in detail the unfortunate events of the day.
Qi Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she did not mention the matter of the bag, placing her hands on her hips and pointing a finger at Qi Dong in dissatisfaction: "My family does not allow smoking! What are you still smoking for? It's been eight hundred years, quit it!"
He Da Shu initially found the QQ car in front of him somewhat familiar, suddenly recalling that it was the owner of this very car who had previously thrown him back the steering wheel. Encountering an enemy, he felt displeased and couldn't help but honk the horn to urge them to move. Unexpectedly, the QQ car suddenly jerked and stopped, resulting in a collision and an accident.
Three hundred yuan! If that doesn't work, I will call the traffic police, and we will handle it as necessary
Ah, my car!" Qi Dong instinctively shouted.
From the moment she planned to sell herself, did heaven intend to strip away even her last glimmer of hope? A face full of sunshine, with a radiant smile, suddenly appeared before her eyes from the depths of her mind, only to become increasingly blurred by the rising mist.
How could Qi Dong not understand Qi Qing's intentions? She said nonchalantly, "Stop beating around the bush. If that bag is gone, then it's gone. Out with the old, in with the new. At that time, everything was in chaos, and I didn't pay any attention to what kind of person was helping me. Sigh, what Ma Tianming said is really true; you spend all day reading novels and daydreaming, even a passerby can be seen as a flower!"
Qi Qing shoved the cup into her hand and shot her a glance: "Which difficult client did you encounter today?"
Ma Tianming's career is thriving, yet there is no nanny employed at home. Qi Qing does not like having outsiders in the house and is also happy to find something to do for herself. Her culinary skills are quite commendable.
Isn't it a thousand yuan just to open your mouth without going to the hospital? Qi Dong's eyes widened. Did she really hit someone, or was she encountering a scam? She tentatively asked, "How can this be? What if there are any aftereffects? I should take you to the hospital for an examination first. After the examination, I will compensate you whatever amount is necessary, I will not owe you anything."
Having stayed at home for too long, all you have learned is to nag! Hurry up and cook for me! I'm starving! Today, I will ask for food and borrow money at your place, and by the way, take the keys to my house!
He kept recalling his encounters with Qi Dong on two occasions, to the extent that after driving for a while, He Dashu suddenly realized that he had already passed the home decoration market he intended to visit. He gazed at the slowly moving traffic ahead, feeling a twinge of annoyance arise within him
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and the sound of discussions and horns became a cacophony. Qi Dong felt increasingly assured and said calmly, "I will compensate you 200 yuan, is that acceptable?"
Qi Dong felt a pang of pain, three hundred yuan just like that gone. She had things to attend to today as well, and didn't want to wait for the traffic police to handle it, so she turned and went to the car to get her bag
The traffic police officer approached Qi Dong and said, "Miss, please take your time and drive the car away slowly. Driving like this is very dangerous!"
