Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 471 Jealousy

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuliang remembered that Zhong Xiaoai was still here.

Seeing Zhong Xiaoai still in shock, Gao Yuliang stepped forward and said, "Director Zhong, how about I stay here and you go back to rest?"

Zhong Xiaoai raised her head, tears still visible on her face. "It's okay. Comrade Tong Wei is trying to save me, so I should stay here."

Gao Yuliang sat down next to him and said apologetically, "Director Zhong, this is what we should do. I just hope you weren't frightened."

Zhong Xiaoai brushed her hair, trying to maintain her usual composure. "You have comrades like Qi Tongwei protecting you in Handong. I feel very safe."

Gao Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that Zhong Xiaoai would hold him accountable. The wrath of a deputy political leader was not something they could bear.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor.

After receiving the news, Luo Qian came to the emergency room under the guidance of Xiao Gangyu.

"Teacher Gao, how is Tongwei?" Luo Qian looked anxious.

Gao Yuliang stood up again. "Luo Qian, don't worry. The doctor just said that his vital signs have returned to normal. Once the wound is sutured, he will be able to come out soon."

Hearing that Qi Tongwei was safe, Luo Qian breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Didn't he say he was meeting his superiors today? How did he suddenly run into robbers?"

Gao Yuliang explained, "It was the fugitive Lin Xiaoqiang who had escaped. Their target was Comrade Chen Xin, and Comrade Tong Wei just happened to run into him."

Luo Qian nodded, and then noticed the woman next to Gao Yuliang, who looked very familiar.

Isn’t this the woman who visited their electronics park with Commissioner Zhong last time?

Gao Yuliang hurriedly introduced, "This is Zhong Xiaoai, a comrade from the Huaxia Discipline Inspection Commission. Director Zhong came here specifically to investigate the case of the previous dam breach. Tong Wei was accompanying her on the investigation and got into danger."

Luo Qian nodded slightly, sat down opposite, crossed her legs, and kept looking at Zhong Xiaoai. With a woman's intuition, she always felt that this woman was not simple.

Zhong Xiaoai felt guilty for a moment when she was looked at, but she soon came to her senses.

No! Why do you feel guilty?

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoai adjusted his mentality, sat up straight, imitated the other person, crossed his legs, faced Luo Qian's eyes, and wanted to suppress the other person.

Luo Qian smiled slightly, looking calm and composed, not at all treating the other person as inferior just because he was from Kyoto.

In terms of status and position, Luo Qian is sought after by many high-ranking officials. Of course, they are seeking the cash cow of Shengtian Group and the attractive identity of a Hong Kong businessman, but this does not affect Luo Qian's positioning of herself at all.

In terms of figure and appearance, she felt that although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was still far superior to the other person's slightly "plain" appearance.

Gao Yuliang sensed something was amiss in the atmosphere and quickly spoke up, diverting their gazes. "Hey, Director Zhong, could you tell me more about what happened today? Our city is planning to do some publicity for Comrade Tong Wei."

Zhong Xiaoai nodded. Their Chinese unit was quite familiar with this kind of propaganda and naturally knew how to approach it in a positive way.

She did not elaborate on the details, but only said that the two of them were discussing the case, and when they were about to return to Haizhou, they happened to encounter the bandits, and told Qi Tongwei how bravely and fearlessly subdued the criminals.

As they were telling the story, the door of the emergency room opened and the three of them stood up.

"How's it going, doctor?"

"Secretary Gao, Secretary Qi's wound has been sutured, but the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, so he won't wake up until tomorrow."

Gao Yuliang extended his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

The doctor shook Gao Yuliang's hand excitedly and said, "Secretary Gao, it's my duty, it's my duty."

As the doctor came out, Qi Tongwei was also pushed out. His face was pale due to excessive blood loss.

Luo Qian couldn't hold back her tears. They had been together for ten years from the time they met to the time they got married. This was the first time she saw Qi Tongwei in such a sick state.

That night, Luo Qian stayed in the hospital with Qi Tongwei. The real culprit came, and Zhong Xiaoai couldn't stay there either, so she left with Gao Yuliang.

……

The next day, sunlight entered the room through the curtains that were not completely drawn, adding a touch of red light to the white and blue ward and waking up Qi Tongwei's eyes.

When he opened his eyes and felt the pain in his abdomen, Qi Tongwei remembered that he had been shot. Judging from the layout of the room, he should be in the hospital. Just as he was about to call for help, Luo Qian pushed the door open and walked in, holding breakfast in her hand.

"Awake." Luo Qian said with a cold face.

Qi Tongwei carefully observed the other person's expression and said with a smile: "What's wrong? It's like someone owes you money."

Luo Qian sat down on the edge of the bed and said jealously, "What do you think, Secretary Qi? This is great. The hero saves the damsel in distress. What a cliché."

"What do you mean by a hero saving a beauty?" Qi Tongwei was confused.

Luo Qian continued to talk to herself: "But I find that your standards are getting lower and lower. The girl you chose this time, Zhong Xiaoai, has no figure or appearance at all."

Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're overthinking it. They came here to investigate a case. I was just accompanying them."

"I don't know if I'm overthinking it or not. Maybe you don't like her, but I can feel that she has fallen in love with you. This is a woman's intuition, you can't deny it."

"I don't think your intuition is accurate at all." Qi Tongwei jokingly gave an example, "For example, right now, you don't feel that I don't need such bright sunlight."

Luo Qian looked at the light reflected on Qi Tongwei's face, stood up unhappily and walked to the window, tightening the curtains. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure downstairs. She snorted coldly and retorted, "I think it's quite accurate. For example, Director Zhong will come to see you soon, maybe even in less than ten minutes."

"I don't believe it. If you are so accurate, why would you be a CEO? It would be better to just go and have your fortune told."

"How about we bet on something?" Luo Qian said confidently.

Qi Tongwei noticed something was wrong and asked, "Did you see her?"

"I saw him. He just got off the bus and was still carrying his lunch box." Luo Qian looked at her watch. "He came at seven o'clock. Even if he wanted to see you, it's too early."

Qi Tongwei smiled awkwardly, "It's early in the morning now."

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Qi Tongwei looked at Luo Qian, who glared at him fiercely and stood up to open the door.

"Director Zhong, good morning." Arriving at the door, Luo Qian's demeanor shifted immediately, from a jealous woman to the graceful wife of a CEO and secretary. She looked at Zhong Xiaoai with a playful expression.

"Good morning, Mr. Luo." Zhong Xiaoai avoided his gaze and raised the thermos in her hand. "I made some soup for Comrade Tong Wei."

"Thank you so much. As a wife, I am not as considerate as you, an outsider." Luo Qian said sarcastically, but still moved aside.

Zhong Xiaoai pretended not to hear and walked into the ward carrying the incubator.
