Out of town? On a business trip? Jiang Qie was about to ask if the other party was on a business trip, but then deleted the words in the message box.

Is it a bit inappropriate to ask this? After hesitating for a while, Jiang Qie considered his words again, and finally clicked send with satisfaction. After sending the message, Jiang Qie put his phone aside and was about to lower his head to eat noodles when he found that Aliang was looking at him curiously.

"Jiang Jie, who are you talking to? I called you just now and you ignored me."

Jiang Qie paused while eating noodles and said nonchalantly, "No, just a friend."

"Friends? Male or female?" Ah Liang's curiosity was greater than her hunger at the moment. Based on her understanding of Jiang Qie, he was the only one she got along well with in Ningcheng for so many years. He had only been in Yuncheng for more than a month, and he already had such a good friend to talk to. There must be something fishy going on.

"Sister Jiang, please talk to me. Your brother cares about you!" Seeing that Jiang Qie kept her mouth shut, A Liang pinched his voice and acted coquettishly.

Jiang Qie hadn't seen A Liang use this trick for a long time, but Jiang Qie had long been immune to this common trick and continued to eat noodles as usual.

Seeing that Jiang Qie didn't say anything, A Liang became even more curious. She sat down next to Jiang Qie, clenched her fists, and looked at him as if it was her fault that Jiang Qie didn't say anything.

Jiang Qie held her forehead helplessly. She has always been soft-hearted and does not like to be tough. A Liang is a bit like Chen Yuanyuan, he acts like a spoiled child and takes advantage of her soft heart.

But it was difficult to open the conversation with Aliang. He hesitated to speak, and finally summarized his words and said, "I met a friend when I went to the hospital before. Later, he helped me and I owed him a favor, so I need to repay him, so I am short of money recently."

Jiang Qie finished speaking and took a sip of Coke. A Liang, who had been chattering beside him just now, became quiet. He turned around and sat back opposite him. After a moment of silence, he picked up the Coke on the table and drank all the rest. He wanted to drink more but saw that the bottom of the cup was empty. He was a little annoyed, "Boss, give me a bottle of beer!"

The beer was brought up quickly, and Aliang took the bottle and drank it directly from his mouth. Jiang Qie frowned, not knowing what was going on. Half of the bottle of beer was quickly drunk, but Aliang showed no intention of stopping. Jiang Qie quickly reached out to stop the bottle of beer and said seriously, "That's not how you drink beer!"

A Liang wanted to take the beer back and reached out to grab it, but there was no way he could get it. Jiang Qie skillfully hid the beer behind his back with one hand and quickly and forcefully held down A Liang's hand that was stretched out to take the beer with the other hand, looking a little angry.

"Don't you know how much you can drink? What's wrong?" Jiang Qie's harsh scolding made Aliang slowly calm down.

Several guests at the next table heard the noise and looked over. Seeing that Aliang had calmed down, Jiang Qie loosened his grip and put the bottle on the table. He no longer wanted to continue eating noodles, and crossed his hands in front of his chest with a cold expression.

"Sister Jiang, why are you going to the hospital?" A Liang asked softly, looking down at the table.

Although the guests at the nearby tables were talking very loudly, Jiang Qie heard everything Aliang said clearly.

Jiang Qie lowered his eyes slightly, remained silent for a few seconds, and said truthfully: "Go to the hospital and get medicine."

Ah Liang clenched his fists on his legs and said in a muffled voice: "Didn't you say before that you were much better and didn't need to take medicine anymore? Why do you want to take medicine now?"

As Jiang Qie's best friend, A Liang also knew everything about Jiang Qie's past 18 years in the tube building. He only found out about Jiang Qie's illness when he accidentally discovered that she was taking painkillers.

But before coming to Yuncheng, Jiang Qie told him that she was much better and didn't need to take medicine anymore, but now she started taking medicine again, which means that her headache started again.

Jiang Qie was silent. She was indeed much better before coming to Yuncheng, because at that time she still had some hope for Zhou Qian. But then she came back, returning to this body with hatred and regret. After experiencing the pain of her previous life, her condition also worsened. She didn't know how to explain it to Aliang, so both of them didn't speak.

The two were silent for a while. Jiang Qie poured himself a glass of wine, took a few sips, looked at A Liang and said, "Don't worry, I only eat occasionally, and I go to the hospital for checkups on time, so I'll be fine. Believe me, I'll be fine, and I can't be fine."

A Liang then raised his head and looked at Jiang Qie. The girl had a faint smile on her lips, but it was very ostentatious. Her pupils were dark, but she looked at him firmly. The words she said exploded in A Liang's mind.

A Liang seemed to wake up suddenly, looking at the familiar smile and familiar words in front of him. In the past, he and Jiang Qie were targeted by some gangsters, and Jiang Qie told him to hide. It was with the same look and the same firm tone at that time. The girl sitting opposite him at this moment seemed to overlap with the girl in the box a few years ago.

"I believe you, Sister Jiang. But I also hope you take care of yourself!" A Liang picked up the Coke on the table and raised his glass again.

"Yes." They clinked their glasses.

In a homestay in the suburbs of Yuncheng, Song Zhiyu was standing on the balcony. His tall and slender figure stood out under the moonlight, and his shadow reflected on the ground by the moon was infinitely elongated.

Song Zhiyu looked down at the picture on his phone. It was the picture Jiang Qie had just sent. The sky was pitch black, and there was indeed no sun. Song Zhiyu saved the picture on his phone, and then someone knocked on the door.

After Xie Xianqing entered the room, he saw that no one was in the room and thought that Song Zhiyu had gone somewhere. He was about to call to ask when he saw someone walking in from the balcony. He put down his phone, lazily sat on the sofa, and said with some resentment: "I'm talking to you, you said yesterday that you would buy land in the new district, and today you went to the site for investigation. I have been running around with you for a whole day, and my legs are about to break." He also hit his legs.

Song Zhiyu naturally knew that Xie Xianqing liked to talk nonsense, so he leaned back slightly on the sofa and looked at Xie Xianqing with a smile: "Didn't you say you wanted to come with me yesterday?"

Xie Xianqing rolled his eyes, shrugged and said, "Yeah, there's nothing I can do. I'm your good brother, so of course I can't let you wander around in Yuncheng, a place you don't know, all by yourself!"

In fact, Xie Xianqing was just joking. He knew that with Song Zhiyu's ability, he didn't need anyone to accompany him. When the Song family was undergoing a major reform, the eldest brother of the Song family needed to stay in China to hold up the situation. The head of the Song family had already gone on a trip with Mrs. Song. When a traitor appeared in the foreign branch and the project went wrong, they had to send Song Zhiyu, who was still studying for a master's degree, to negotiate.

At that time, Song Zhiyu went to Country H alone. It took him only half a month to stabilize the situation and catch the traitor. He even negotiated a cooperation with another big brand within the following week. This laid a solid foundation for Song's to gain a firm foothold in the overseas market.
