When the Emperor Dresses Up as a Man and Wife of a Rich Family [Ancient and Modern]
Chapter 98 98. Rong Muli X Li Xinglan
Because Li Xinglan couldn't see the person coming with his head down, he ran straight into him and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, the other person's strong arm hooked his waist.
"Mr. Rong..."
"It's you?"
Li Xinglan nodded with his heart pounding wildly, "Yes, I am Li Xinglan from the Finance Department!"
The man hesitated, "You...are you from Mingcheng University...?"
He remembers!
Sure enough, he still remembered!
Li Xinglan's face flushed, "Mr. Rong, it's me, Li Xinglan. Thank you for your help back then!"
Rong Chengyuan smiled knowingly, "It's really you, let me tell you why the person I saw in the elevator last time looked so familiar."
"I..." Li Xinglan just opened his mouth, and then realized that the other party's arm was still around his waist, and he was even more speechless.
Rong Chengyuan was originally in a bad mood because of some troubles at work.But the kid in front of him blushed like a boiled shrimp, but somehow it made him feel a lot easier.
"Come on, come with me. We haven't seen each other for so many years, let's have a good chat."
"Yes!"
Rong Chengyuan let him go and walked out of the elevator first, Li Xinglan followed happily.
President Rong Sheng's office was magnificent. Li Xinglan sat on the high-end leather sofa, and couldn't help but glance around.
Black and white simple style, there is no personal thing in the office, only two half-person-high potted plants beside the sofa bring a little vitality.
This is where Rong Chengyuan works...
"Come on, have a cup of tea."
Rong Chengyuan poured him a cup of tea, and then asked: "How did you get into Rong Sheng? I don't know."
Li Xinglan took the teacup obediently, "Years ago, Rong Sheng had an open recruitment. I submitted my resume and was lucky enough to pass the interview."
"It turned out to be like this." Rong Chengyuan said: "Originally, I would attend the mobilization meeting for new employees every year, but it just so happened that this year I went on a business trip to the United States temporarily, so the vice president attended the speech on my behalf."
Rong Chengyuan looked Li Xinglan up and down, and said quite relievedly: "I am very happy to see you, this proves that the Pearl Project I proposed back then is not wrong."
The Pearl Project, this is exactly a plan to subsidize the livelihood of impoverished college students implemented by Rong Chengyuan after he took office as the president of Rongsheng.Every year, Rongsheng will subsidize a certain number of impoverished students from prestigious universities to ensure that they can successfully complete their studies.
When formulating this plan, in addition to improving the social influence of the company, Rong Chengyuan also hoped that these subsidized high-achieving students would repay Rong Sheng after graduation in the future.
Li Xinglan was the first batch of beneficiaries of the Pearl Project, and Rong Chengyuan was certainly impressed by him.
"Brother Chengyuan, I should have joined Rongsheng. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to sit here today. I should be moving bricks at some construction site..."
Li Xinglan held the mug with both hands, but his eyes became distant...
His life began when he met Rong Chengyuan, and he had new hope.
Mashan Town, this is a small economically backward town near Mingcheng, and it is also the place where Li Xinglan was born.
His father is a rural Chinese teacher, and his mother does handwork at home. Although he lived in poverty when he was young, he also lived happily.
The accident happened when he was eight years old.
That year, Mingcheng encountered a super typhoon that had never happened in 60 years. When his father was escorting a student home, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the river. The rushing water immediately washed him away.
After the typhoon passed, they fished people out of the river in the next village.At that time, the corpse had already been soaked and swollen, and it was his mother who recognized it by the clothes on her body.
My father is gone, and life has to go on.Li's mother took care of her husband's affairs, and for the sake of her future livelihood, she simply brought Xiao Xinglan into the provincial capital.
There is no other reason, that is, Mama Li heard that in the provincial capital, she can earn thousands of dollars a month by doing any job.
They didn't even have a house, so they could only rent the cheapest basement at the beginning.Li's mother first entered a factory as a garment worker, and after saving some money, she bought a small cart and sold wontons on the side of the road.
Life is poor, but fortunately Xiao Xinglan is very sensible. Although he entered a migrant worker primary school with poor teachers at the beginning, with his own efforts, he was first admitted to a key junior high school in the city, and then a key high school.
In the third year of high school, with Li Xinglan's grades, it was a sure thing to be admitted to Mingcheng University.But the high tuition fees for college made it difficult for this middle-aged woman who had only attended elementary school for a few years.
In order to earn more tuition fees for her son, Li's mother started to work from dawn to dusk. She used to only cook three meals a day, but now she even cooks supper at night.I only slept for two or three hours a day, got up at five o'clock to set up a stall, and closed the stall and went home at almost two o'clock at night.
Li Xinglan, who was forced to live in school, did not know all this.
After the college entrance examination, Li Xinglan successfully got the admission letter from Mingcheng University.
But the day before he was about to enter school, Li's mother suddenly fainted while cooking wontons on the street and was rushed to the hospital.
Diagnosis result: advanced gastric cancer.
Only then did Li Xinglan realize that in order to make enough money for his tuition, his mother would get up early and stay late every day. Although she was selling food, in order to earn a few more dollars, she always waited until the meal time to fill her stomach with something casual.
She was originally a broken body, and this year has accelerated her decline.
On this day, Li Xinglan felt that his world had collapsed.
The money in the family has already paid for his tuition, and there is not much left.Relatives and friends are even more unreliable, and one family is poorer than the other. If you have a good relationship, you can get two or three hundred at most, and if you have a bad relationship, you will be rejected a lot.
He had made up his mind that he would not go to college.But he went to the school, but there was no way to get the tuition back.It is now the beginning of school, and the school has already entered him into the enrollment system. It is absolutely impossible to just refund the tuition and let him drop out.
Li Xinglan's entrance grades were quite excellent, which also attracted the attention of the school leaders.
At this moment, the Pearl Project proposed by Rong Chengyuan came to his door.
The school listed Li Xinglan as an object of funding, so that at least he can complete his studies in the next four years.
Li Xinglan originally wanted to refuse, he wanted to spend the last days with his mother wholeheartedly.But when Li's mother found out about it, she almost begged him to go back to school.
In desperation, Li Xinglan had no choice but to agree.
But although Li's mother is in the late stage of gastric cancer, there is no way to treat it anymore, but she still needs a lot of drugs to relieve the pain caused by cancer.The medical expenses alone were enough to exhaust Li Xinglan.
In addition to going to school, he goes to the hospital to visit his mother every day, and he also works part-time.
Tutoring, serving dishes in fast food restaurants, handing out leaflets... Li Xinglan will not let go of any opportunity to make money.
One day, the school told him to get ready, the president of Rongsheng Jewelry, the funder of the Pearl Project, was coming to visit them, the first batch of recipients.
In all fairness, Li Xinglan is very grateful to this company.If it weren't for Rong Sheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get into this university.
On that day, Li Xinglan picked out his cleanest set of T-shirt and jeans from the closet, and he even wrote a thank you letter by hand.
When he arrived at the conference hall, he was surprised. He thought President Rong Sheng would be a middle-aged and serious man, but he turned out to be a handsome young man.
The school leader introduced that this is the president of Rongsheng, Rong Chengyuan.
Rong Chengyuan just had a few brief conversations with the sponsored students. These people have different difficulties in their families. To be honest, Li Xinglan is not the worst one.
Li Xinglan was last in line, and after Rong Chengyuan had a few words with him, he presented the letter of thanks with both respectful hands, "Thank you, Mr. Rong! Without Rong Sheng, I wouldn't be able to stand here today!"
Rong Chengyuan was obviously surprised, and the school leaders nearby also gave him appreciative looks.
Finally, Rong Chengyuan took his thank you letter and repeated his name again: "Li Xinglan?"
Li Xinglan bowed solemnly again.
After the meeting, he dragged his bicycle out of the parking lot and was thinking of rushing to the tutoring place.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he rode to the school gate, he saw the school leader and Rong Chengyuan shaking hands and saying goodbye.
He inadvertently met Rong Chengyuan's eyes, but the other party waved at him.
"Me?" Li Xinglan looked around in surprise and found that there was no one else around him.
Rong Chengyuan was waiting for him by the side of the car, Li Xinglan hurriedly rode over.He got out of the car in a hurry, and said cautiously, "Hello, Mr. Rong."
Rong Chengyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I read your thank you letter, it's beautifully written, and the wording is very sincere."
He signaled to the assistant next to him, who immediately took out a business card and handed it to Li Xinglan with both hands.
Li Xinglan quickly took it with both hands.
Rong Chengyuan said: "I asked the principal, your grades are very good. I hope that with our Pearl Project, you can finish your university studies with peace of mind. Here is my business card. If you have other difficulties, you can come to me directly. I."
"This..." Li Xinglan suddenly felt that the thin business card in his hand weighed a thousand catties. For no reason, his eyes felt wet and hot, "Thank... thank you!"
Rong Chengyuan patted him on the shoulder lightly, "A good man has ambitions everywhere. The current difficulties are only temporary. When you pass this hurdle, you will realize how big the world is in the future."
The assistant at the side had already opened the car door for him, and Rong Chengyuan got into the car, and slowly drove away from Mingcheng University under Li Xinglan's blurry vision.
In the car, the assistant couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Mr. Rong, do you like that student very much?"
If not, how could he instruct him to take the initiative to give the other party his business card?One must know that in his capacity as the president of Rongsheng, there are very few people who can take the initiative to hand over his business card.
Rong Chengyuan looked at the scenery outside the car, "It's nothing, just look at him pitifully, if there is a chance in the future, it would be good to give him a hand."
What inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes was those clean and beautiful eyes.
Rong Chengyuan thought, such a clean and pure person should not be trapped in the mire of poverty.
Li's mother's condition is still deteriorating day by day, and the doctor judges that she will only have the last few days left.
Perhaps because she knew her time was approaching, Mother Li made an unprecedented request that she wanted to go back to Mashan Town.
Since Li's father died, Li's mother has been running around for her and her son's life, and has never returned.Coming to the end of her life, she wanted to go back to her old hometown.
Of course Li Xinglan wanted to fulfill her wish.He specially asked for leave from the counselor. In order to buy medicine, he has very little money left.
There are only four buses a day to go back to Mashan Town, but in order to attract more guests, the shuttle took a long detour.Li Xinglan didn't want to let his seriously ill mother have to suffer, so he squeezed out two hundred and called a taxi.
During the two-hour drive, Li's mother was in good spirits at first, but after 40 minutes, Li Xinglan noticed that her face had turned livid again.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Li's mother pressed her abdomen with her hands, closed her eyes and shook her head, but he knew that this was a sign of her mother's illness.
"Is your stomach hurting again? Come on, take the medicine quickly!" He took out the divided pills from his pocket, a dozen or so full, and asked Mama Li to swallow them with water.
In fact, for this terminally ill person, these painkillers are useless and can only slightly relieve the pain.
The doctor also said that it is her desire to return to her hometown that keeps Mama Li alive.
But at this moment, the car stopped unexpectedly with a bang.
"what happened?"
"Wait, I'll go down and have a look."
The driver got out of the car and circled around. When he came back, he said embarrassedly: "Little brother, this car has an old problem again, and it probably won't get better in a while. I have to call a tow truck, or you can take another taxi. "
Li Xinglan was completely stunned, "No...Brother, we are almost driving to the outskirts of the city now, where can I get a car?"
This place is almost out of the city of Mingcheng, there are large trucks and private cars coming and going, and there are no shops around, so how can they call another car?
The driver scratched his head and could only wave his hands, "I can't do anything about it! My car can't move now, think about it."
The driver took out his mobile phone and called the towing factory, then got out of the car to smoke and wait for someone.
Li Xinglan was suddenly at a loss.There is no village in front of this place, and no shop behind.What is he going to do?Or follow the trailer and go to Mashan Town tomorrow?
As soon as this thought came to him, he found that Mama Li in his arms began to withdraw her savings.
"Mom! What's wrong with you! Does it hurt?"
Months of cancer had tormented this middle-aged woman until only a skeleton remained, her thin yellow face turned livid, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"pain……"
Li Xinglan almost shed tears when she heard her mother's murmur.
In order not to worry him, Mother Li has been gritting her teeth to bear the pain, and she will only make a sound unless the pain is unbearable.The current situation can only show that painkillers are useless, she must be in extreme pain!
Li Xinglan held back tears, "Mom, shall we go back to the hospital? Let the doctor give you painkillers!"
Mother Li shook her head, "Don't...don't waste money, I...I'll go back to my hometown and be with your father..."
"mom……"
Unstoppable tears fell from his cheeks, "Okay, okay, let's go back! Let's go back and find Dad!"
Li Xinglan asked his mother to lean on the back of the chair, open the door and get out of the car, "Brother, we want to go to Mashan Town! Help us find a way!"
The driver could only wave his hand, "Little brother, I really can't do anything about it. Look, my car can't move."
He took out 100 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it back into Li Xinglan's hand, "I will only run half of the way, so I will collect half of the money, and you will pay the rest."
Li Xinglan was so angry, "It's useless if you pay me back, where can I take a taxi now?"
Seeing him like this, the driver felt a little guilty, and he also took out his phone, "That's all right, can you call someone for help?"
help?
Who else can help him now?
Relatives, classmates, friends... Li Xinglan couldn't think of anyone who could help him.Because of poverty, their family has never had any relatives to move around.He works part-time while going to school, and he doesn't usually play with his classmates, and he doesn't have close classmates and friends at all.
What should I do?
Who can save him?
In the blink of an eye, Li Xinglan remembered a business card hidden in his wallet.
He hurriedly took out his wallet and took out the high-end black-backed bronzing business card.
His fingers were trembling, and he was hesitating whether to press the number keys, when Mama Li wailed in pain again from the car.
Li Xinglan bit her lower lip, and finally dialed the number on the business card.
"Beep beep..."
Pick it up, please pick it up quickly!
Finally, the phone was connected, and a cold male voice came from the other side, "Hello."
Li Xinglan sobbed and said, "Rong... President Rong, I'm Li Xinglan, Li Xinglan from Mingcheng University! Can I ask you a favor..."
Rong Chengyuan was careless at first, but the obvious crying on the other end of the phone made him sit up straight.
After hanging up the phone, he said to the driver, "Changing direction, go to M723 National Highway now."
"Okay, Mr. Rong." Although the driver didn't understand, he turned the steering wheel again according to his instructions.
When Rong Chengyuan arrived, he realized that the situation at the scene was beyond his expectation.
The beautiful and clean student was sitting on the side of the road with a middle-aged woman in his arms. The tears on his face seemed to be broken, and his collar was wet.
"Li Xinglan."
As soon as Li Xinglan saw him coming, it was as if he had seen a savior, and his eyes burst out with fiery light.
"Boss Rong!"
"what happened?"
Li Xinglan sobbed and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, "Mr. Rong, I...my mother is dying, can you give us a ride to Mashan Town?"
Mashan Town?
The driver reminded: "It will take more than an hour from here."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Rong Chengyuan made a decision right away, but the driver hesitated and said: "Mr. Rong, this round trip may take more than three hours, and you have to meet the British partner in an hour and a half..."
"Push it." Rong Chengyuan said decisively: "Call Wang Jianping for me and ask her to contact the other party. The meeting time is changed to tomorrow."
"Yes." The driver replied, and couldn't help but glance at Li Xinglan. This silly boy didn't know what luck he was getting.Rong Chengyuan postponed it, but it was a tens of millions signing ceremony!
With Rong Chengyuan's help, Li Xinglan's mother and son returned to their hometown in Mashan Town smoothly.
What he didn't expect was that Li's mother died crying in front of Li's father's grave.
What happened next, Li Xinglan was at a loss.It was Rong Chengyuan who helped him who was at a loss and transported his mother's body back to Mingcheng.
In the end, Rong Chengyuan gave him 1 yuan, "I will let Xiao Wang take care of your mother's funeral. Remember, grief is only temporary, and your future can be expected. You must study hard!"
"At that time, I swore that after I graduated, I would enter Rongsheng to repay you!"
Looking at his fiery eyes, Rong Chengyuan's heart felt hot.
"Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person."
With Rong Chengyuan's affirmation, Li Xinglan was immersed in excitement.Until he returned to the finance department from the 32nd floor, Rong Chengyuan's last sentence still echoed in his mind: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"
Next, Rong Muli unexpectedly discovered that every night, no matter how late, he could always see Li Xinglan working overtime.
this silly boy...
On this day, Li Xinglan unexpectedly received a notice: he will go with Rong Muli to the exchange meeting in Haiping City next week.
"Team leader Huang, this...isn't possible? Manager Rong asked me to go with him?"
According to the rules, even if Rong Muli didn't bring a deputy manager with him for a meeting of this size, he would at least have to be an elite backbone like Huang Cheng. How could it be his turn, a rookie with the lowest qualifications?
Huang Cheng nodded, "Yes. Manager Rong said that you have performed outstandingly recently and wants to take you out to practice."
Li Xinglan couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him?
Huang Cheng poked him, "Don't underestimate yourself. Now you are the youngest here, and you work the hardest. These bosses are all aware of it. Don't miss this opportunity and learn more!"
"okay, I get it!"
This time was different from the last trip to Japan, he was the only one with his boss.
After the two got off the plane at Haiping Airport, they found out that the hotel where the meeting was held would take two hours to get there by car.
Li Xinglan's face was a little ugly at the moment, Rong Muli noticed it keenly, "What, you get motion sickness?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Then later, you can open the window a little wider, and if the air circulates, people will be more comfortable."
Even though Li Xinglan was about to stick his head out of the window, he still couldn't suppress the burning sensation in his stomach.
After getting out of the car and checking in at the hotel, he couldn't help rushing into the bathroom.
Tonight, the meeting party also specially held a welcome reception.Li Xinglan vomited sickly, and only drank a bowl of porridge casually.
Unexpectedly, he got a blessing in disguise.
The crabs on the hotel tonight were not fresh, many people had acute gastroenteritis, and Rong Muli was no exception.
Not long after dinner, Li Xinglan noticed that Rong Muli was convulsed with stomach pain, his whole face was pale and he was sweating coldly, so he quickly called an ambulance to take him to the nearest hospital.
Queuing, registering, prescribing medicine...
Li Xinglan ran upstairs and downstairs. After working for more than half an hour, the nurse finally arranged a bed and hung water for Rong Muli.
Fortunately, Rong Muli's body is in good condition, and after hanging in the water for half an hour, he feels much more energetic.
"Manager Rong, have a cup of hot water."
Rong Muli took the disposable water cup with his other hand, seeing Li Xinglan sweating slightly from the busyness in front of him, he couldn't bear it.
"Sit down, too, and rest."
I have to say that it is really fortunate that Li Xinglan is there when someone encounters this kind of thing in another place.He is careful and conscientious, and he has been busy for so long tonight without a single complaint.
The hospital is very lively tonight, they can't book a single bed, so they can only squeeze together with other people.Now that the chairs were taken away by other family members, Li Xinglan looked around, and finally sat on the edge of the bed with some embarrassment.
No way, he was too tired.
The voices of other family members of the patients around were very noisy, Rong Muli only glanced at him, and then closed his eyes to rest.
On the contrary, Li Xinglan felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and said specifically: "Manager Rong, don't worry, I asked the doctor, and he said that your symptoms are not serious, and you should be discharged from the hospital after hanging the water."
Rong Muli is in good health and never gets sick once or twice a year.Now that he suddenly fell down, he was actually a little worried about the next meeting.Hearing what Li Xinglan said, he suddenly felt relieved.
Opening his eyes again, this fair and youthful face was flushed due to excessive exercise, and Rong Muli suddenly remembered a metaphor he often used when he was a child: like a red apple.
Somewhat cute.
He felt hot, and suddenly said: "From now on, you don't need to call me Manager Rong in private."
"...Huh?" Li Xinglan was a little dazed, this boss isn't called a manager, what should he be called?
Rong Muli saw his confusion, "It's okay, you can call it whatever you want."
Li Xinglan hesitated for a while, and finally chose a correct name, "Then... I can call you Brother Li, can I?"
Rong Muli nodded, agreeing.
"Brother Li, are you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep first."
Rong Muli was weak at this time, and he was indeed a little sleepy.With Li Xinglan around, he didn't have to worry about anything.
As soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep in a daze.When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings were already quiet.
Only Li Xinglan in front of him was struggling to look at his phone, yawning constantly.
Rong Muli looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it turned out that it was already past three in the middle of the night.
"You didn't sleep?"
Seeing that he woke up, Li Xinglan regained his sanity, "I won't sleep anymore, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep, Brother Li, if you feel uncomfortable, I don't know."
He is now answering while struggling with sleepiness, and his mind is a little chaotic, so he speaks very directly.
Rong Muli was surprised, this person is really... so cute and stupid!
Li Xinglan couldn't help but yawned again.
Rong Muli simply moved to the side, "Come up." He patted the mattress next to him, the meaning was obvious.
"This...isn't that good?" The hospital bed is not wide, if two men are to sleep, they will probably have to squeeze into a ball.He doesn't mind, but a rich man like Rong Muli, who is also his boss, won't have a grudge?
As if seeing his thoughts, Rong Muli said neatly: "It will be dawn in a few hours, if you don't rest for a while, what will happen to the next meeting?"
That's right, Rong Muli has already pulled out the needle, and they will probably be discharged from the hospital after dawn without any problems, and they will have to continue attending the exchange meeting then.
Thinking of the work ahead, Li Xinglan was not pretentious, and got into bed after taking off his shoes and coat.
The hospital bed was not comfortable, and he couldn't care less right now.As soon as it touched the mattress, Li Xinglan's heavy eyelids closed immediately, and it didn't take long for him to breathe evenly.
It was the dead of night at this moment, Rong Muli had already slept for a round, and now he did not feel sleepy.
The clean and beautiful face in front of her was a little green.It is undeniable that Li Xinglan likes Rong Muli very much in terms of appearance alone.
Thinking of the seriousness of this little guy's work and the occasional silly things he did, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It has been many years since he stepped into the society. It's not like he hasn't seen such a naive guy, but those people are really stupid, not Li Xinglan.
He can understand the rules of the workplace, but he can maintain his principles.Rong Muli inexplicably remembered a sentence he had read: May you go through a thousand sails and come back as a young man.
It was probably someone like Li Xinglan.
The silent night can always bewitch people's hearts, Rong Muli stared at him, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the other person's face...
On the small hospital bed in this remote hospital, the two of them are like two little beasts, absorbing each other's warmth.
Sure enough, after a night's sleep, Rong Muli was fine.
They continue to participate in the next exchange meeting.Unexpectedly, on the last day, after the meeting was over, Rong Muli was not in a hurry to leave, but instead said that he would go to the nearby Jingling Mountain to have a look.
Li Xinglan was a little surprised, but Rong Muli said, "Aren't you interested? I see you still have leaflets hidden in your pocket."
Somewhat embarrassed, Li Xinglan rubbed her nose, and said shyly, "Jingling Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy place in the whole country, and it is also a famous scenic spot in Haiping City. It's a rare visit, so it would be a pity not to see it."
"In that case, let's go."
Li Xinglan readily agreed. It seemed that although Rong Muli was usually cold to others, he still took good care of his subordinates.
The Jingling Temple on Jingling Mountain is especially good for seeking marriage. When they came here, they saw many young people holding red ribbons in their hands.
After inquiring, Li Xinglan found out that the tree in the temple was a marriage tree. Most of the young people who came would spend some money to buy a red ribbon, write their own and their lover's names on it and tie it on the branch, praying for a long and lasting relationship with their lover.
Naturally, Rong Muli was not interested in this kind of thing.Li Xinglan originally thought it was something young people were playing around with, but he turned his head and saw two handsome boys holding hands and tying red ribbons.
Marriage...
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, Li Xinglan coughed lightly, and found that Rong Muli had gone to the bathroom, he hesitated for a while, and finally bought a red ribbon for 20 yuan.
But the moment he finished writing his name, he regretted it again.
What was he thinking about?How could that person be with him...
Li Xinglan stuffed the red ribbon into his pocket again mockingly.
When Rong Muli came out after washing his hands, what he saw was the little guy hiding the red ribbon in his pocket with a lonely face.
Li Xinglan has someone he likes?
The thought somehow made him uncomfortable, but he convinced himself that it was normal.This little guy is good-looking, serious about his work, and has a good personality. It seems... except for the occasional kindness that he can't get used to, he can't find any other flaws in this person.
It is not uncommon for such a person to have a partner.
Rong Muli suppressed the faint displeasure in his heart, and walked up to him.
Most of the Buddhist temples in the world are similar, and after an hour of wandering around in it, the two also felt that the aesthetic fatigue was about to go down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, there was an event on the mountain today, and the way down the mountain was taken up by a troupe of troupes. It wasn't that they couldn't walk, but they were all crowded there, and they had to wait for a long time.
Seeing the impatient look on Rong Muli's face, Li Xinglan simply suggested, "Brother Li, let's go to the back mountain, there probably won't be many people over there."
When they went up the mountain just now, they took a guide map.However, the staff also reminded that the road behind the mountain is relatively steep, so you need to be careful when walking.
"Okay, let's go to the back of the mountain."
Both of them are strong young men. Although the road behind the mountain is steep, they can't help them.Talking while walking, they were halfway up the mountain in a short while.
Li Xinglan was turning his head to talk to Rong Muli, when a shadow suddenly appeared from the bushes in front of him——
"careful!"
Everything that happened next happened in an instant, and Li Xinglan couldn't react. Rong Muli first grabbed his arm and led him towards him, but Li Xinglan was caught off guard and rushed towards him.
Although slender, Li Xinglan was a normal adult man after all, just like that, the whole body pressed against Rong Muli, and the latter couldn't bear to fall to the side for a moment.
But there was only a wooden fence next to it, and with a "squeak", the two of them crushed the wooden fence and fell into the ravine next to them.
Li Xinglan only felt dizzy and dizzy, with indescribable pain all over his body.When he came back to his senses, he found that he and Rong Muli hugged each other and fell on the deserted rock.
"Brother Li! Are you alright?" Li Xinglan struggled to sit up, with Rong Muli under him.
"It's okay." Rong Muli also sat up, but he soon realized that something was wrong with him, "My feet..."
"What's the matter?" Li Xinglan followed his gaze, put his hands gently on his right foot, and immediately noticed a pained expression on his face.
"Brother Li, did you hurt your right foot?" Li Xinglan just realized that when he fell just now, he must have crushed his foot.
Rong Muli frowned, and after touching it a few times, he made a preliminary judgment: "Maybe the bone is broken."
"Then what should I do? My mobile phone must have been broken!" When it fell just now, he was holding the mobile phone in his hand, and it is probably broken into several pieces now.
Rong Muli took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and found that the flip phone was also broken in two.
The way to call for help was cut off, Li Xinglan immediately looked up to the sky and shouted desperately: "Is there anyone? Help! We fell here!"
After shouting for more than a minute, there was no other sound at all except for the empty echo.
"Okay, don't shout." Rong Muli looked around, "I guess no one is coming here, if you want to ask for help, you may have to go out along the road ahead."
"But your feet..."
"Don't worry about me, you go find someone, I'll wait for you here."
"How can this be done!" Li Xinglan immediately objected, "It's getting dark now, if you stay here alone, if you encounter wild wolves or something, it will be so dangerous!"
Rong Muli was a little speechless, "This is a scenic spot, how could there be wild wolves? At most, it was the monkey just now." He saw clearly just now that the one that sprang out from the bushes was exactly the monkey.
Li Xinglan still shook his head, "No, no! You have heard that monkeys in Mount Emei can beat people! Monkeys are also dangerous."
Rong Muli was completely powerless, "You can go out quickly by yourself, I have no way to go out now."
"I... can do it, I have a solution." Li Xinglan stood up, patted the dust off his body, and then squatted down with his back facing him, "Brother Li, come up, I'll carry you!"
"Nonsense!" Rong Muli almost wanted to pry his head open to see what was inside, "You can't carry me on your back at all, besides, how long can you carry me on your back?"
"Yes, don't forget, I'm also a man!" Li Xinglan turned his head and smiled brightly, "I will definitely carry you out!"
Rong Muli was taken aback by the smile, but immediately insisted on letting Li Xinglan go alone.
The two stalemate for a few minutes. In the end, it was Li Xinglan who grabbed the man's arm and made him lie on his back.
After all, it was this big man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Li Xinglan staggered a few steps when he stood up, Rong Muli wanted to struggle to get down, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, I can do it! "
The road in the mountain stream was not easy, especially since Li Xinglan was carrying Rong Muli on his back, every step he took had to be supported by strong willpower.
It was getting late, Li Xinglan was sweating profusely, but he didn't go very far.At this time, a gust of mountain wind passed by, and the cry of a wild animal suddenly came from not far away.
Li Xinglan's heart skipped a beat, "Should... there really are wild wolves, right?" He was just talking casually just now, but don't think there really is a wild wolf coming out!
Rong Muli was also a little apprehensive, but he still said calmly: "Don't be afraid, the voice just now didn't sound like a wolf to me, at most it was a wild cat."
Li Xinglan instinctively wanted to say, "How could it be meowing when the sound was so loud just now?" But after thinking about it, he understood that Rong Muli said that to comfort himself.
So, he also responded: "Well, it should be a cat."
There was a string in the hearts of the two of them, the road in front of them became more and more difficult to see clearly, and it was already dark.
The cries of wild animals in the bushes became more and more frequent. At this moment, both of them realized how dangerous their situation was!
In an uninhabited ravine, two people lost their way, and one of them lost the ability to move.The mobile phone is also broken, and there are wild animals feeding around.
At this time, Li Xinglan tripped over a stone, and both of them fell down.
"Li Xinglan, are you okay?"
Li Xinglan only felt a pain in his head. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt a warm and sticky touch in his hand.
Must be bloody...
Afraid that the man behind would be worried, he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
How could it be all right?A person as heavy as himself is pressing on him!
Rong Muli couldn't stand it anymore, "No, you let me down. You run quickly, find a way out first, and call someone to come back and save me. If this continues, we may both be in danger!"
This is the most sensible way at present.If Li Xinglan continued to walk behind his back, the worst outcome would be that the two of them would encounter wild wolves or other wild animals at night, and they might even die.
But if this little guy keeps him, at least one of them will definitely be able to escape.Rong Muli believed that with Li Xinglan's personality, he would definitely find someone to save him.
Although he himself may be in danger, it is better than the two of them dying here together.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, he only saw the back of his head shaking, "No, I won't let you go, brother Li!"
Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Xinglan's firm voice: "We will definitely get out!"
"you……"
Rong Muli didn't know what to say, "You put it down and I'll go first, I promise I won't blame you in the future."
"Stop talking!" Li Xinglan's voice was a little indignant, "I said, I will definitely leave behind your back. Brother Li, we will be fine!"
Li Xinglan gritted his teeth, they will be fine.
He still has a lot of wishes unfulfilled, that person...
When he thought of the red ribbon in his pocket, he felt infinite courage again.
Yes, he still wants to go to that person!
Before this wish is fulfilled, Li Xinglan will absolutely, absolutely not have any accidents here!
"Mr. Rong..."
"It's you?"
Li Xinglan nodded with his heart pounding wildly, "Yes, I am Li Xinglan from the Finance Department!"
The man hesitated, "You...are you from Mingcheng University...?"
He remembers!
Sure enough, he still remembered!
Li Xinglan's face flushed, "Mr. Rong, it's me, Li Xinglan. Thank you for your help back then!"
Rong Chengyuan smiled knowingly, "It's really you, let me tell you why the person I saw in the elevator last time looked so familiar."
"I..." Li Xinglan just opened his mouth, and then realized that the other party's arm was still around his waist, and he was even more speechless.
Rong Chengyuan was originally in a bad mood because of some troubles at work.But the kid in front of him blushed like a boiled shrimp, but somehow it made him feel a lot easier.
"Come on, come with me. We haven't seen each other for so many years, let's have a good chat."
"Yes!"
Rong Chengyuan let him go and walked out of the elevator first, Li Xinglan followed happily.
President Rong Sheng's office was magnificent. Li Xinglan sat on the high-end leather sofa, and couldn't help but glance around.
Black and white simple style, there is no personal thing in the office, only two half-person-high potted plants beside the sofa bring a little vitality.
This is where Rong Chengyuan works...
"Come on, have a cup of tea."
Rong Chengyuan poured him a cup of tea, and then asked: "How did you get into Rong Sheng? I don't know."
Li Xinglan took the teacup obediently, "Years ago, Rong Sheng had an open recruitment. I submitted my resume and was lucky enough to pass the interview."
"It turned out to be like this." Rong Chengyuan said: "Originally, I would attend the mobilization meeting for new employees every year, but it just so happened that this year I went on a business trip to the United States temporarily, so the vice president attended the speech on my behalf."
Rong Chengyuan looked Li Xinglan up and down, and said quite relievedly: "I am very happy to see you, this proves that the Pearl Project I proposed back then is not wrong."
The Pearl Project, this is exactly a plan to subsidize the livelihood of impoverished college students implemented by Rong Chengyuan after he took office as the president of Rongsheng.Every year, Rongsheng will subsidize a certain number of impoverished students from prestigious universities to ensure that they can successfully complete their studies.
When formulating this plan, in addition to improving the social influence of the company, Rong Chengyuan also hoped that these subsidized high-achieving students would repay Rong Sheng after graduation in the future.
Li Xinglan was the first batch of beneficiaries of the Pearl Project, and Rong Chengyuan was certainly impressed by him.
"Brother Chengyuan, I should have joined Rongsheng. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the chance to sit here today. I should be moving bricks at some construction site..."
Li Xinglan held the mug with both hands, but his eyes became distant...
His life began when he met Rong Chengyuan, and he had new hope.
Mashan Town, this is a small economically backward town near Mingcheng, and it is also the place where Li Xinglan was born.
His father is a rural Chinese teacher, and his mother does handwork at home. Although he lived in poverty when he was young, he also lived happily.
The accident happened when he was eight years old.
That year, Mingcheng encountered a super typhoon that had never happened in 60 years. When his father was escorting a student home, he accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the river. The rushing water immediately washed him away.
After the typhoon passed, they fished people out of the river in the next village.At that time, the corpse had already been soaked and swollen, and it was his mother who recognized it by the clothes on her body.
My father is gone, and life has to go on.Li's mother took care of her husband's affairs, and for the sake of her future livelihood, she simply brought Xiao Xinglan into the provincial capital.
There is no other reason, that is, Mama Li heard that in the provincial capital, she can earn thousands of dollars a month by doing any job.
They didn't even have a house, so they could only rent the cheapest basement at the beginning.Li's mother first entered a factory as a garment worker, and after saving some money, she bought a small cart and sold wontons on the side of the road.
Life is poor, but fortunately Xiao Xinglan is very sensible. Although he entered a migrant worker primary school with poor teachers at the beginning, with his own efforts, he was first admitted to a key junior high school in the city, and then a key high school.
In the third year of high school, with Li Xinglan's grades, it was a sure thing to be admitted to Mingcheng University.But the high tuition fees for college made it difficult for this middle-aged woman who had only attended elementary school for a few years.
In order to earn more tuition fees for her son, Li's mother started to work from dawn to dusk. She used to only cook three meals a day, but now she even cooks supper at night.I only slept for two or three hours a day, got up at five o'clock to set up a stall, and closed the stall and went home at almost two o'clock at night.
Li Xinglan, who was forced to live in school, did not know all this.
After the college entrance examination, Li Xinglan successfully got the admission letter from Mingcheng University.
But the day before he was about to enter school, Li's mother suddenly fainted while cooking wontons on the street and was rushed to the hospital.
Diagnosis result: advanced gastric cancer.
Only then did Li Xinglan realize that in order to make enough money for his tuition, his mother would get up early and stay late every day. Although she was selling food, in order to earn a few more dollars, she always waited until the meal time to fill her stomach with something casual.
She was originally a broken body, and this year has accelerated her decline.
On this day, Li Xinglan felt that his world had collapsed.
The money in the family has already paid for his tuition, and there is not much left.Relatives and friends are even more unreliable, and one family is poorer than the other. If you have a good relationship, you can get two or three hundred at most, and if you have a bad relationship, you will be rejected a lot.
He had made up his mind that he would not go to college.But he went to the school, but there was no way to get the tuition back.It is now the beginning of school, and the school has already entered him into the enrollment system. It is absolutely impossible to just refund the tuition and let him drop out.
Li Xinglan's entrance grades were quite excellent, which also attracted the attention of the school leaders.
At this moment, the Pearl Project proposed by Rong Chengyuan came to his door.
The school listed Li Xinglan as an object of funding, so that at least he can complete his studies in the next four years.
Li Xinglan originally wanted to refuse, he wanted to spend the last days with his mother wholeheartedly.But when Li's mother found out about it, she almost begged him to go back to school.
In desperation, Li Xinglan had no choice but to agree.
But although Li's mother is in the late stage of gastric cancer, there is no way to treat it anymore, but she still needs a lot of drugs to relieve the pain caused by cancer.The medical expenses alone were enough to exhaust Li Xinglan.
In addition to going to school, he goes to the hospital to visit his mother every day, and he also works part-time.
Tutoring, serving dishes in fast food restaurants, handing out leaflets... Li Xinglan will not let go of any opportunity to make money.
One day, the school told him to get ready, the president of Rongsheng Jewelry, the funder of the Pearl Project, was coming to visit them, the first batch of recipients.
In all fairness, Li Xinglan is very grateful to this company.If it weren't for Rong Sheng, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to get into this university.
On that day, Li Xinglan picked out his cleanest set of T-shirt and jeans from the closet, and he even wrote a thank you letter by hand.
When he arrived at the conference hall, he was surprised. He thought President Rong Sheng would be a middle-aged and serious man, but he turned out to be a handsome young man.
The school leader introduced that this is the president of Rongsheng, Rong Chengyuan.
Rong Chengyuan just had a few brief conversations with the sponsored students. These people have different difficulties in their families. To be honest, Li Xinglan is not the worst one.
Li Xinglan was last in line, and after Rong Chengyuan had a few words with him, he presented the letter of thanks with both respectful hands, "Thank you, Mr. Rong! Without Rong Sheng, I wouldn't be able to stand here today!"
Rong Chengyuan was obviously surprised, and the school leaders nearby also gave him appreciative looks.
Finally, Rong Chengyuan took his thank you letter and repeated his name again: "Li Xinglan?"
Li Xinglan bowed solemnly again.
After the meeting, he dragged his bicycle out of the parking lot and was thinking of rushing to the tutoring place.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he rode to the school gate, he saw the school leader and Rong Chengyuan shaking hands and saying goodbye.
He inadvertently met Rong Chengyuan's eyes, but the other party waved at him.
"Me?" Li Xinglan looked around in surprise and found that there was no one else around him.
Rong Chengyuan was waiting for him by the side of the car, Li Xinglan hurriedly rode over.He got out of the car in a hurry, and said cautiously, "Hello, Mr. Rong."
Rong Chengyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I read your thank you letter, it's beautifully written, and the wording is very sincere."
He signaled to the assistant next to him, who immediately took out a business card and handed it to Li Xinglan with both hands.
Li Xinglan quickly took it with both hands.
Rong Chengyuan said: "I asked the principal, your grades are very good. I hope that with our Pearl Project, you can finish your university studies with peace of mind. Here is my business card. If you have other difficulties, you can come to me directly. I."
"This..." Li Xinglan suddenly felt that the thin business card in his hand weighed a thousand catties. For no reason, his eyes felt wet and hot, "Thank... thank you!"
Rong Chengyuan patted him on the shoulder lightly, "A good man has ambitions everywhere. The current difficulties are only temporary. When you pass this hurdle, you will realize how big the world is in the future."
The assistant at the side had already opened the car door for him, and Rong Chengyuan got into the car, and slowly drove away from Mingcheng University under Li Xinglan's blurry vision.
In the car, the assistant couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Mr. Rong, do you like that student very much?"
If not, how could he instruct him to take the initiative to give the other party his business card?One must know that in his capacity as the president of Rongsheng, there are very few people who can take the initiative to hand over his business card.
Rong Chengyuan looked at the scenery outside the car, "It's nothing, just look at him pitifully, if there is a chance in the future, it would be good to give him a hand."
What inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes was those clean and beautiful eyes.
Rong Chengyuan thought, such a clean and pure person should not be trapped in the mire of poverty.
Li's mother's condition is still deteriorating day by day, and the doctor judges that she will only have the last few days left.
Perhaps because she knew her time was approaching, Mother Li made an unprecedented request that she wanted to go back to Mashan Town.
Since Li's father died, Li's mother has been running around for her and her son's life, and has never returned.Coming to the end of her life, she wanted to go back to her old hometown.
Of course Li Xinglan wanted to fulfill her wish.He specially asked for leave from the counselor. In order to buy medicine, he has very little money left.
There are only four buses a day to go back to Mashan Town, but in order to attract more guests, the shuttle took a long detour.Li Xinglan didn't want to let his seriously ill mother have to suffer, so he squeezed out two hundred and called a taxi.
During the two-hour drive, Li's mother was in good spirits at first, but after 40 minutes, Li Xinglan noticed that her face had turned livid again.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Li's mother pressed her abdomen with her hands, closed her eyes and shook her head, but he knew that this was a sign of her mother's illness.
"Is your stomach hurting again? Come on, take the medicine quickly!" He took out the divided pills from his pocket, a dozen or so full, and asked Mama Li to swallow them with water.
In fact, for this terminally ill person, these painkillers are useless and can only slightly relieve the pain.
The doctor also said that it is her desire to return to her hometown that keeps Mama Li alive.
But at this moment, the car stopped unexpectedly with a bang.
"what happened?"
"Wait, I'll go down and have a look."
The driver got out of the car and circled around. When he came back, he said embarrassedly: "Little brother, this car has an old problem again, and it probably won't get better in a while. I have to call a tow truck, or you can take another taxi. "
Li Xinglan was completely stunned, "No...Brother, we are almost driving to the outskirts of the city now, where can I get a car?"
This place is almost out of the city of Mingcheng, there are large trucks and private cars coming and going, and there are no shops around, so how can they call another car?
The driver scratched his head and could only wave his hands, "I can't do anything about it! My car can't move now, think about it."
The driver took out his mobile phone and called the towing factory, then got out of the car to smoke and wait for someone.
Li Xinglan was suddenly at a loss.There is no village in front of this place, and no shop behind.What is he going to do?Or follow the trailer and go to Mashan Town tomorrow?
As soon as this thought came to him, he found that Mama Li in his arms began to withdraw her savings.
"Mom! What's wrong with you! Does it hurt?"
Months of cancer had tormented this middle-aged woman until only a skeleton remained, her thin yellow face turned livid, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"pain……"
Li Xinglan almost shed tears when she heard her mother's murmur.
In order not to worry him, Mother Li has been gritting her teeth to bear the pain, and she will only make a sound unless the pain is unbearable.The current situation can only show that painkillers are useless, she must be in extreme pain!
Li Xinglan held back tears, "Mom, shall we go back to the hospital? Let the doctor give you painkillers!"
Mother Li shook her head, "Don't...don't waste money, I...I'll go back to my hometown and be with your father..."
"mom……"
Unstoppable tears fell from his cheeks, "Okay, okay, let's go back! Let's go back and find Dad!"
Li Xinglan asked his mother to lean on the back of the chair, open the door and get out of the car, "Brother, we want to go to Mashan Town! Help us find a way!"
The driver could only wave his hand, "Little brother, I really can't do anything about it. Look, my car can't move."
He took out 100 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it back into Li Xinglan's hand, "I will only run half of the way, so I will collect half of the money, and you will pay the rest."
Li Xinglan was so angry, "It's useless if you pay me back, where can I take a taxi now?"
Seeing him like this, the driver felt a little guilty, and he also took out his phone, "That's all right, can you call someone for help?"
help?
Who else can help him now?
Relatives, classmates, friends... Li Xinglan couldn't think of anyone who could help him.Because of poverty, their family has never had any relatives to move around.He works part-time while going to school, and he doesn't usually play with his classmates, and he doesn't have close classmates and friends at all.
What should I do?
Who can save him?
In the blink of an eye, Li Xinglan remembered a business card hidden in his wallet.
He hurriedly took out his wallet and took out the high-end black-backed bronzing business card.
His fingers were trembling, and he was hesitating whether to press the number keys, when Mama Li wailed in pain again from the car.
Li Xinglan bit her lower lip, and finally dialed the number on the business card.
"Beep beep..."
Pick it up, please pick it up quickly!
Finally, the phone was connected, and a cold male voice came from the other side, "Hello."
Li Xinglan sobbed and said, "Rong... President Rong, I'm Li Xinglan, Li Xinglan from Mingcheng University! Can I ask you a favor..."
Rong Chengyuan was careless at first, but the obvious crying on the other end of the phone made him sit up straight.
After hanging up the phone, he said to the driver, "Changing direction, go to M723 National Highway now."
"Okay, Mr. Rong." Although the driver didn't understand, he turned the steering wheel again according to his instructions.
When Rong Chengyuan arrived, he realized that the situation at the scene was beyond his expectation.
The beautiful and clean student was sitting on the side of the road with a middle-aged woman in his arms. The tears on his face seemed to be broken, and his collar was wet.
"Li Xinglan."
As soon as Li Xinglan saw him coming, it was as if he had seen a savior, and his eyes burst out with fiery light.
"Boss Rong!"
"what happened?"
Li Xinglan sobbed and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, "Mr. Rong, I...my mother is dying, can you give us a ride to Mashan Town?"
Mashan Town?
The driver reminded: "It will take more than an hour from here."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Rong Chengyuan made a decision right away, but the driver hesitated and said: "Mr. Rong, this round trip may take more than three hours, and you have to meet the British partner in an hour and a half..."
"Push it." Rong Chengyuan said decisively: "Call Wang Jianping for me and ask her to contact the other party. The meeting time is changed to tomorrow."
"Yes." The driver replied, and couldn't help but glance at Li Xinglan. This silly boy didn't know what luck he was getting.Rong Chengyuan postponed it, but it was a tens of millions signing ceremony!
With Rong Chengyuan's help, Li Xinglan's mother and son returned to their hometown in Mashan Town smoothly.
What he didn't expect was that Li's mother died crying in front of Li's father's grave.
What happened next, Li Xinglan was at a loss.It was Rong Chengyuan who helped him who was at a loss and transported his mother's body back to Mingcheng.
In the end, Rong Chengyuan gave him 1 yuan, "I will let Xiao Wang take care of your mother's funeral. Remember, grief is only temporary, and your future can be expected. You must study hard!"
"At that time, I swore that after I graduated, I would enter Rongsheng to repay you!"
Looking at his fiery eyes, Rong Chengyuan's heart felt hot.
"Okay, I really didn't see the wrong person."
With Rong Chengyuan's affirmation, Li Xinglan was immersed in excitement.Until he returned to the finance department from the 32nd floor, Rong Chengyuan's last sentence still echoed in his mind: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"
Next, Rong Muli unexpectedly discovered that every night, no matter how late, he could always see Li Xinglan working overtime.
this silly boy...
On this day, Li Xinglan unexpectedly received a notice: he will go with Rong Muli to the exchange meeting in Haiping City next week.
"Team leader Huang, this...isn't possible? Manager Rong asked me to go with him?"
According to the rules, even if Rong Muli didn't bring a deputy manager with him for a meeting of this size, he would at least have to be an elite backbone like Huang Cheng. How could it be his turn, a rookie with the lowest qualifications?
Huang Cheng nodded, "Yes. Manager Rong said that you have performed outstandingly recently and wants to take you out to practice."
Li Xinglan couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to him?
Huang Cheng poked him, "Don't underestimate yourself. Now you are the youngest here, and you work the hardest. These bosses are all aware of it. Don't miss this opportunity and learn more!"
"okay, I get it!"
This time was different from the last trip to Japan, he was the only one with his boss.
After the two got off the plane at Haiping Airport, they found out that the hotel where the meeting was held would take two hours to get there by car.
Li Xinglan's face was a little ugly at the moment, Rong Muli noticed it keenly, "What, you get motion sickness?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Then later, you can open the window a little wider, and if the air circulates, people will be more comfortable."
Even though Li Xinglan was about to stick his head out of the window, he still couldn't suppress the burning sensation in his stomach.
After getting out of the car and checking in at the hotel, he couldn't help rushing into the bathroom.
Tonight, the meeting party also specially held a welcome reception.Li Xinglan vomited sickly, and only drank a bowl of porridge casually.
Unexpectedly, he got a blessing in disguise.
The crabs on the hotel tonight were not fresh, many people had acute gastroenteritis, and Rong Muli was no exception.
Not long after dinner, Li Xinglan noticed that Rong Muli was convulsed with stomach pain, his whole face was pale and he was sweating coldly, so he quickly called an ambulance to take him to the nearest hospital.
Queuing, registering, prescribing medicine...
Li Xinglan ran upstairs and downstairs. After working for more than half an hour, the nurse finally arranged a bed and hung water for Rong Muli.
Fortunately, Rong Muli's body is in good condition, and after hanging in the water for half an hour, he feels much more energetic.
"Manager Rong, have a cup of hot water."
Rong Muli took the disposable water cup with his other hand, seeing Li Xinglan sweating slightly from the busyness in front of him, he couldn't bear it.
"Sit down, too, and rest."
I have to say that it is really fortunate that Li Xinglan is there when someone encounters this kind of thing in another place.He is careful and conscientious, and he has been busy for so long tonight without a single complaint.
The hospital is very lively tonight, they can't book a single bed, so they can only squeeze together with other people.Now that the chairs were taken away by other family members, Li Xinglan looked around, and finally sat on the edge of the bed with some embarrassment.
No way, he was too tired.
The voices of other family members of the patients around were very noisy, Rong Muli only glanced at him, and then closed his eyes to rest.
On the contrary, Li Xinglan felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and said specifically: "Manager Rong, don't worry, I asked the doctor, and he said that your symptoms are not serious, and you should be discharged from the hospital after hanging the water."
Rong Muli is in good health and never gets sick once or twice a year.Now that he suddenly fell down, he was actually a little worried about the next meeting.Hearing what Li Xinglan said, he suddenly felt relieved.
Opening his eyes again, this fair and youthful face was flushed due to excessive exercise, and Rong Muli suddenly remembered a metaphor he often used when he was a child: like a red apple.
Somewhat cute.
He felt hot, and suddenly said: "From now on, you don't need to call me Manager Rong in private."
"...Huh?" Li Xinglan was a little dazed, this boss isn't called a manager, what should he be called?
Rong Muli saw his confusion, "It's okay, you can call it whatever you want."
Li Xinglan hesitated for a while, and finally chose a correct name, "Then... I can call you Brother Li, can I?"
Rong Muli nodded, agreeing.
"Brother Li, are you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep first."
Rong Muli was weak at this time, and he was indeed a little sleepy.With Li Xinglan around, he didn't have to worry about anything.
As soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep in a daze.When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings were already quiet.
Only Li Xinglan in front of him was struggling to look at his phone, yawning constantly.
Rong Muli looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it turned out that it was already past three in the middle of the night.
"You didn't sleep?"
Seeing that he woke up, Li Xinglan regained his sanity, "I won't sleep anymore, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep, Brother Li, if you feel uncomfortable, I don't know."
He is now answering while struggling with sleepiness, and his mind is a little chaotic, so he speaks very directly.
Rong Muli was surprised, this person is really... so cute and stupid!
Li Xinglan couldn't help but yawned again.
Rong Muli simply moved to the side, "Come up." He patted the mattress next to him, the meaning was obvious.
"This...isn't that good?" The hospital bed is not wide, if two men are to sleep, they will probably have to squeeze into a ball.He doesn't mind, but a rich man like Rong Muli, who is also his boss, won't have a grudge?
As if seeing his thoughts, Rong Muli said neatly: "It will be dawn in a few hours, if you don't rest for a while, what will happen to the next meeting?"
That's right, Rong Muli has already pulled out the needle, and they will probably be discharged from the hospital after dawn without any problems, and they will have to continue attending the exchange meeting then.
Thinking of the work ahead, Li Xinglan was not pretentious, and got into bed after taking off his shoes and coat.
The hospital bed was not comfortable, and he couldn't care less right now.As soon as it touched the mattress, Li Xinglan's heavy eyelids closed immediately, and it didn't take long for him to breathe evenly.
It was the dead of night at this moment, Rong Muli had already slept for a round, and now he did not feel sleepy.
The clean and beautiful face in front of her was a little green.It is undeniable that Li Xinglan likes Rong Muli very much in terms of appearance alone.
Thinking of the seriousness of this little guy's work and the occasional silly things he did, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
It has been many years since he stepped into the society. It's not like he hasn't seen such a naive guy, but those people are really stupid, not Li Xinglan.
He can understand the rules of the workplace, but he can maintain his principles.Rong Muli inexplicably remembered a sentence he had read: May you go through a thousand sails and come back as a young man.
It was probably someone like Li Xinglan.
The silent night can always bewitch people's hearts, Rong Muli stared at him, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress the other person's face...
On the small hospital bed in this remote hospital, the two of them are like two little beasts, absorbing each other's warmth.
Sure enough, after a night's sleep, Rong Muli was fine.
They continue to participate in the next exchange meeting.Unexpectedly, on the last day, after the meeting was over, Rong Muli was not in a hurry to leave, but instead said that he would go to the nearby Jingling Mountain to have a look.
Li Xinglan was a little surprised, but Rong Muli said, "Aren't you interested? I see you still have leaflets hidden in your pocket."
Somewhat embarrassed, Li Xinglan rubbed her nose, and said shyly, "Jingling Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy place in the whole country, and it is also a famous scenic spot in Haiping City. It's a rare visit, so it would be a pity not to see it."
"In that case, let's go."
Li Xinglan readily agreed. It seemed that although Rong Muli was usually cold to others, he still took good care of his subordinates.
The Jingling Temple on Jingling Mountain is especially good for seeking marriage. When they came here, they saw many young people holding red ribbons in their hands.
After inquiring, Li Xinglan found out that the tree in the temple was a marriage tree. Most of the young people who came would spend some money to buy a red ribbon, write their own and their lover's names on it and tie it on the branch, praying for a long and lasting relationship with their lover.
Naturally, Rong Muli was not interested in this kind of thing.Li Xinglan originally thought it was something young people were playing around with, but he turned his head and saw two handsome boys holding hands and tying red ribbons.
Marriage...
A figure suddenly appeared in his mind, Li Xinglan coughed lightly, and found that Rong Muli had gone to the bathroom, he hesitated for a while, and finally bought a red ribbon for 20 yuan.
But the moment he finished writing his name, he regretted it again.
What was he thinking about?How could that person be with him...
Li Xinglan stuffed the red ribbon into his pocket again mockingly.
When Rong Muli came out after washing his hands, what he saw was the little guy hiding the red ribbon in his pocket with a lonely face.
Li Xinglan has someone he likes?
The thought somehow made him uncomfortable, but he convinced himself that it was normal.This little guy is good-looking, serious about his work, and has a good personality. It seems... except for the occasional kindness that he can't get used to, he can't find any other flaws in this person.
It is not uncommon for such a person to have a partner.
Rong Muli suppressed the faint displeasure in his heart, and walked up to him.
Most of the Buddhist temples in the world are similar, and after an hour of wandering around in it, the two also felt that the aesthetic fatigue was about to go down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, there was an event on the mountain today, and the way down the mountain was taken up by a troupe of troupes. It wasn't that they couldn't walk, but they were all crowded there, and they had to wait for a long time.
Seeing the impatient look on Rong Muli's face, Li Xinglan simply suggested, "Brother Li, let's go to the back mountain, there probably won't be many people over there."
When they went up the mountain just now, they took a guide map.However, the staff also reminded that the road behind the mountain is relatively steep, so you need to be careful when walking.
"Okay, let's go to the back of the mountain."
Both of them are strong young men. Although the road behind the mountain is steep, they can't help them.Talking while walking, they were halfway up the mountain in a short while.
Li Xinglan was turning his head to talk to Rong Muli, when a shadow suddenly appeared from the bushes in front of him——
"careful!"
Everything that happened next happened in an instant, and Li Xinglan couldn't react. Rong Muli first grabbed his arm and led him towards him, but Li Xinglan was caught off guard and rushed towards him.
Although slender, Li Xinglan was a normal adult man after all, just like that, the whole body pressed against Rong Muli, and the latter couldn't bear to fall to the side for a moment.
But there was only a wooden fence next to it, and with a "squeak", the two of them crushed the wooden fence and fell into the ravine next to them.
Li Xinglan only felt dizzy and dizzy, with indescribable pain all over his body.When he came back to his senses, he found that he and Rong Muli hugged each other and fell on the deserted rock.
"Brother Li! Are you alright?" Li Xinglan struggled to sit up, with Rong Muli under him.
"It's okay." Rong Muli also sat up, but he soon realized that something was wrong with him, "My feet..."
"What's the matter?" Li Xinglan followed his gaze, put his hands gently on his right foot, and immediately noticed a pained expression on his face.
"Brother Li, did you hurt your right foot?" Li Xinglan just realized that when he fell just now, he must have crushed his foot.
Rong Muli frowned, and after touching it a few times, he made a preliminary judgment: "Maybe the bone is broken."
"Then what should I do? My mobile phone must have been broken!" When it fell just now, he was holding the mobile phone in his hand, and it is probably broken into several pieces now.
Rong Muli took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and found that the flip phone was also broken in two.
The way to call for help was cut off, Li Xinglan immediately looked up to the sky and shouted desperately: "Is there anyone? Help! We fell here!"
After shouting for more than a minute, there was no other sound at all except for the empty echo.
"Okay, don't shout." Rong Muli looked around, "I guess no one is coming here, if you want to ask for help, you may have to go out along the road ahead."
"But your feet..."
"Don't worry about me, you go find someone, I'll wait for you here."
"How can this be done!" Li Xinglan immediately objected, "It's getting dark now, if you stay here alone, if you encounter wild wolves or something, it will be so dangerous!"
Rong Muli was a little speechless, "This is a scenic spot, how could there be wild wolves? At most, it was the monkey just now." He saw clearly just now that the one that sprang out from the bushes was exactly the monkey.
Li Xinglan still shook his head, "No, no! You have heard that monkeys in Mount Emei can beat people! Monkeys are also dangerous."
Rong Muli was completely powerless, "You can go out quickly by yourself, I have no way to go out now."
"I... can do it, I have a solution." Li Xinglan stood up, patted the dust off his body, and then squatted down with his back facing him, "Brother Li, come up, I'll carry you!"
"Nonsense!" Rong Muli almost wanted to pry his head open to see what was inside, "You can't carry me on your back at all, besides, how long can you carry me on your back?"
"Yes, don't forget, I'm also a man!" Li Xinglan turned his head and smiled brightly, "I will definitely carry you out!"
Rong Muli was taken aback by the smile, but immediately insisted on letting Li Xinglan go alone.
The two stalemate for a few minutes. In the end, it was Li Xinglan who grabbed the man's arm and made him lie on his back.
After all, it was this big man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Li Xinglan staggered a few steps when he stood up, Rong Muli wanted to struggle to get down, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, I can do it! "
The road in the mountain stream was not easy, especially since Li Xinglan was carrying Rong Muli on his back, every step he took had to be supported by strong willpower.
It was getting late, Li Xinglan was sweating profusely, but he didn't go very far.At this time, a gust of mountain wind passed by, and the cry of a wild animal suddenly came from not far away.
Li Xinglan's heart skipped a beat, "Should... there really are wild wolves, right?" He was just talking casually just now, but don't think there really is a wild wolf coming out!
Rong Muli was also a little apprehensive, but he still said calmly: "Don't be afraid, the voice just now didn't sound like a wolf to me, at most it was a wild cat."
Li Xinglan instinctively wanted to say, "How could it be meowing when the sound was so loud just now?" But after thinking about it, he understood that Rong Muli said that to comfort himself.
So, he also responded: "Well, it should be a cat."
There was a string in the hearts of the two of them, the road in front of them became more and more difficult to see clearly, and it was already dark.
The cries of wild animals in the bushes became more and more frequent. At this moment, both of them realized how dangerous their situation was!
In an uninhabited ravine, two people lost their way, and one of them lost the ability to move.The mobile phone is also broken, and there are wild animals feeding around.
At this time, Li Xinglan tripped over a stone, and both of them fell down.
"Li Xinglan, are you okay?"
Li Xinglan only felt a pain in his head. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and felt a warm and sticky touch in his hand.
Must be bloody...
Afraid that the man behind would be worried, he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
How could it be all right?A person as heavy as himself is pressing on him!
Rong Muli couldn't stand it anymore, "No, you let me down. You run quickly, find a way out first, and call someone to come back and save me. If this continues, we may both be in danger!"
This is the most sensible way at present.If Li Xinglan continued to walk behind his back, the worst outcome would be that the two of them would encounter wild wolves or other wild animals at night, and they might even die.
But if this little guy keeps him, at least one of them will definitely be able to escape.Rong Muli believed that with Li Xinglan's personality, he would definitely find someone to save him.
Although he himself may be in danger, it is better than the two of them dying here together.
Unexpectedly, in the darkness, he only saw the back of his head shaking, "No, I won't let you go, brother Li!"
Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Xinglan's firm voice: "We will definitely get out!"
"you……"
Rong Muli didn't know what to say, "You put it down and I'll go first, I promise I won't blame you in the future."
"Stop talking!" Li Xinglan's voice was a little indignant, "I said, I will definitely leave behind your back. Brother Li, we will be fine!"
Li Xinglan gritted his teeth, they will be fine.
He still has a lot of wishes unfulfilled, that person...
When he thought of the red ribbon in his pocket, he felt infinite courage again.
Yes, he still wants to go to that person!
Before this wish is fulfilled, Li Xinglan will absolutely, absolutely not have any accidents here!
