From Pokfulam to Central

Chapter 03 Emergency Medicine

The next morning, Chen Shuo knocked on the door of Qu Zhi's room. Qu Zhi was still lying on the bed, his expression still not very good.

"How do you feel now?" Chen Shuo asked, while helping Qu Zhi to lean against the backrest, he handed him a glass of warm water.

Qu Zhi took the water glass, moistened his throat, "It's better."

Chen Shuo touched Tan Quzhi's forehead with the back of his hand, and it was still warm. He got up and fetched the thermometer and antipyretics, and told him, "Try the temperature again. If it doesn't work, take another tablet. After you eat, go to sleep. You will report to the office." Don't worry, just give me your ID and admission letter, and I will register for you, and buy some medicine and food on the way back, you should drink porridge first in your current situation, it will get better sooner if it is lighter."

Qu Zhi nodded, stuffed the thermometer into his clothes, said "thank you", and then instructed Chen Shuo to find the materials needed for registration from the suitcase, and then write a power of attorney.

Qu Zhi signed the power of attorney, then took out the thermometer, Chen Shuo took it over and checked, it was 38 degrees 1, and the fever was still not low.

Chen Shuo felt that the situation was not good, "Why don't I send you to the hospital first, and we'll talk about it when we report back."

Qu Zhi waved his hand, "I feel okay, you can go."

Today is the last day to go through the registration procedures, Qu Zhi doesn't want to cause extra complications, it will be even more troublesome then.What's more, I usually rely on my immunity to catch colds. At most, I let head nurse Liu get some medicine from the unit, and I have never been admitted to the hospital because of a fever.For those who are new to this place and are not familiar with the place, one thing more is worse than one thing less, there is no need to go to war, just take more rest.

"Okay then, I'll go and come back soon," Chen Shuo knew that Qu Zhi had his own considerations, so he stopped insisting, "If you have anything to do, send me a WeChat message, my phone is fully charged this time."

Qu Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, reassuring Chen Shuo.

After Chen Shuo went out, Qu Zhi got out of bed and poured himself a few glasses of boiled water, then took a few photos of the room and sent them to his mother.Last night, there was so much chaos that I didn't have time to report my safety. Now I have to explain it. When the head nurse Liu from the province made a video call, they were all exposed.

Going back to the room, lying down and closing his eyes, Qu Zhi could feel that his eyelids were burning hot.

Before falling back to sleep, the doorbell rang, Qu Zhi thought that Chen Shuo had forgotten something, opened the door and found that it was Zhou Mi who came looking for him.

"You—" Zhou Mi came here this time, intending to use what happened last night to entangle him a little bit, but looking at the pale Qu Zhi in front of him, his words turned into a line of concern: "The cold is better. Yet?"

Qu Zhi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this guy's gourd, so he stood at the door, without any intention of letting people in, and said calmly: "Yes."

"I see that your complexion is not very good."

"It's all right, thank you." Qu Zhi said that he was about to close the door, and now he just wanted to send Zhou Mi away quickly and go back to the room to rest.

"Yesterday," Zhou Mi quickly pressed his hands against the door, "I didn't know you just entered the wrong room, and kicked you without knowing the situation. I'm sorry...do you still hurt?"

It's okay if I don't mention it, but when I mention Qu Zhi, I feel my stomach convulsing again, and I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten and I'm hungry, or because I was kicked yesterday, or both.

Even so, Qu Zhi still denied it: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Zhou Mi didn't care about Qu Zhi's answer, and continued, "Why don't I show you, my feet are not light."

Qu Zhi frowned and looked at Zhou Mi's serious look, always felt that his words seemed to have other meanings, that he seemed to have other intentions.

"Don't look at me like that," Zhou Mi waved his hands again and again with an innocent face, "I don't mean anything else."

"A little injury, it's fine."

"Well, since your injury is fine," Zhou Mi smiled and raised his right hand, shaking it in front of Qu Zhi's eyes, "Then just take care of my injury."

After one night, Zhou Mi's hand was already healed, not even a little blister.Now it's all red, it was he who burned it himself before going out, just to make this bitter trick, he is really a ruthless person.

Looking at Qu Zhi's suspicious eyes, Zhou Mi felt a little guilty, and quickly cast a blind eye, vowing to occupy the moral high ground: "Don't think too much, I'm not blackmailing you, I mean, you entered my house, I kicked you I kicked you, it's evened out, but you burned me like this again, I'm not used to using my left hand, and it's always not good to take medicine, so you have to take responsibility."

Qu Zhi's mind is not clear right now, and he doesn't have the energy to argue with Zhou Mi. He just wants to get things done quickly, "Okay, I'll give you the medicine."

"Wait," Zhou Mi stopped Qu Zhi who was about to go out to the opposite door, "I have no medicine at home, do you have it at your home, let's get it at your home."

Qu Zhi didn't want to fight anymore, so he had to let Zhou Mi into the house.

Taking advantage of Qu Zhi's spare time looking for medicine, Zhou Mi roughly scanned the situation in this house, and found that it was symmetrical with his own house, with three bedrooms and one living room. The half-hanging stone fell to the ground.

"What are you looking at, sit here." Qu Zhi's tone showed no trace of emotion, and he called Zhou Mi to the living room.

But Zhou Mi seemed to be very useful, willingly sat down beside him, and obediently stretched out his right hand waiting to be taken care of.

"Where's your roommate?" Zhou Mi inquired.

"Report to school for me." Qu Zhi took out two cotton swabs with one hand, dipped them in alcohol, and supported Zhou Mi's wrist with the other.

Zhou Mi stared at Qu Zhi's eyes that were lowered due to concentration, only felt an indescribable indifference, as if he could disappear all the hot eyes that fell on him invisible, and then caught up with the delicate eyes. Thin eyebrows, thin lips, thin face, the whole face is cold and indifferent, but it makes people feel a feeling of pity from the bottom of my heart.

"Are you a freshman at the University of Hong Kong too? Hiss—" Zhou Mi shuddered in pain, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Qu Zhi grabbed it forcefully, "What did you give me?"

"Alcohol, disinfect." Qu Zhi kept his hands down, operating with determination.

Zhou Mi didn't dare to compliment him, so he pulled out his hand forcefully, "Isn't it? Rubbing alcohol on burns?"

Qu Zhi put down the medicines and tools in his hands, and expressed his abandonment of treatment with practical actions, with a barely noticeable smile of successful mischief on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Mi sighed helplessly, and took out the serious burn ointment from the medicine box, "I'll do it myself."

"I'm also a master's student at the University of Hong Kong this year. I'm studying for an MBA. What are you studying?"

Qu Zhi dug out the cold medicine on his own, and put the rest in the medicine box, "'Old Hooligan'*."

"Ah?" Zhou Mi thought he heard it wrong, and was about to ask, but saw Qu Zhi standing up with the medicine box, his figure swaying, as if he was about to fall down——

"Qu Zhi?!" Zhou Mi quickly reached out to catch it, only to see that his eyes were no longer as clear as before.Only then did Zhou Mi notice that Qu Zhi's collar was soaked in cold sweat, and then he stretched out his hand to probe his forehead, and it turned out to be so hot!

Ignoring other things, Zhou Mi directly hugged Qu Zhi, closed the door, rushed into the elevator, strode into the parking lot, and stuffed him into the back seat of the car.The pure black Tesla Model 3 drove at full speed amidst the roar, leaving an afterimage in the direction of the hospital.

In the afternoon, Qu Zhi was lying in the single ward of the best private hospital in the western district of Hong Kong Island, with needles stuck in his hand to draw water, and he hadn't woken up yet.

The chief physician of the Respiratory Department knocked on the door with a nurse and whispered to Zhou Mi, who was worried beside the hospital bed: "Mr. Zhou, the patient has a common cold, so don't worry too much. The reason for fainting is that the blood sugar is too low. Ribavirin, give another dose of glucose, pay attention to supplement nutrition after returning home, take it lightly, take medicine on time, and you will get better soon."

After hearing these words, Zhou Mi finally felt relieved, "Thank you doctor, and his abdominal injury..."

"The CT just taken, I have asked the nurse to show it to an experienced surgeon. According to my preliminary judgment, it is just a simple skin trauma. After my colleagues return the results, I will ask the nurse to bring the scan. "

"That's good," Zhou Mi forced a thankful smile, "But why hasn't he woke up yet?"

The doctor smiled and said, "He is asleep. If he still doesn't wake up after hanging two bottles of water, just wake up and go home to recuperate. Mr. Zhou, if you need anything, just ring this bell. I have arranged for a special nurse. Also on call."

Zhou Mi thanked again and watched the doctor and nurse leave.

During the CT scan just now, Zhou Mi vaguely saw the bruise on Qu Zhi's abdomen. Now that he is lying in front of him, he only needs to undo a button to see what kind of damage his foot has caused.Zhou Mi wanted to know, but he hesitated at this time, because he found that he couldn't confirm whether the original intention of wanting to do this was really simple.

At this moment, the phone that had been muted vibrated, Zhou Mi picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Dong, the assistant his father sent to Hong Kong to help him with his work.

This afternoon, it was originally arranged to hold the first intermediary coordination meeting for Wanjia Real Estate to go public in Hong Kong. The participants included sponsors and underwriters from the mainland, as well as local accountants and lawyers in Hong Kong. Many parties got together and coordinated the time. It's not easy, but looking at the current situation, Zhou Mi doesn't want to let go of his obsession.

Standing up and exiting the ward, closing the door gently from the outside, Zhou Mi answered Zhao Dong's call.

"Mr. Zhou, where have you been? People from the investment bank, the law firm, and the accounting firm are all here, waiting for you." Zhao Dong didn't want to be this short-sighted subordinate, but instead urged his boss. The participants were all partners, so it was not easy to offend. After waiting in the conference room for a while, the originally silent atmosphere became restless.

Zhou Mi pressed both temples with one hand, and pressed them hard, "Zhao Dong, you know the agenda of the meeting, you can start with everyone first, and I will rush over as soon as I am done, and I will explain to them personally after I go over."

"This..." Zhao Dong was in a dilemma, but since Mr. Zhou made such an arrangement, there must be some unavoidable reasons why he couldn't get out, and this is the only way to do it now, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, I will stabilize the person first, wait You come here."

Zhou Mi hung up the phone hastily with a "huh", re-entered the ward, and sat down beside the bed.Leaning heavily on the back of the chair, Zhou Mi closed his eyes and thought about countermeasures.

For the first intermediary coordination meeting, I was absent as a representative of a listed company, which was really unreasonable.Such an outrageous incident cannot be smoothed over with an apology afterwards, and all parties must feel sincerity.

Fortunately, Qu Zhi's cell phone was with him when he went out.Zhou Mi had already called Chen Shuo just now, and now he only hoped that he would come quickly so that he could get away.It's better to catch up with the tail end of a meeting than to be missing the whole time.

Qu Zhi slowly opened his eyes, the first feeling was that the fever had subsided a lot, and then he smelled the faint smell of disinfectant.Recalling the memory of the last moment before he fainted, Qu Zhi moved his eyes from the light blue ceiling to his side, and saw Zhou's tightly closed eyes and deeply knit brows.

Qu Zhi's gaze crosses Zhou Mi's aquiline nose, lands on the plump and three-dimensional lips, and then zooms out to see the perfect facial features paired with a sharp-edged face, which is very majestic.

Qu Zhi admits frankly in his heart that no matter what kind of person he is, he looks really——

good looking.
