Volume Eight, Chapter 21, The Shadow in Chen Xiao’s Heart
Since the other person had fallen, the hand that covered Han Feng's eyes naturally let go. Han Feng quickly turned around to check, but was stunned for a moment. The person who fell to the ground turned out to be Yan Ning.
The people standing behind Yan Ning were Peng Hao and Qingchundou. They didn't seem to expect that Han Feng's skills would become so fierce now, and they knocked Yan Ning, who was as strong as an orangutan, to the ground in an instant.
Han Feng was also very surprised to see them. After all, he had not seen these best friends for many days, and he was very happy to see them: "Douzi, why are you here? And you, the dead orangutan, didn't tell me when you were discharged from the hospital."
Yan Ning fell to the ground and moaned exaggeratedly: "Boss, can you do it? You don't think about it. Who except me is so bold to blind you? You are really going to be a traitor."
Peng Hao and Qingchundou supported him while smiling: "I told you that the boss is amazing now. I told you not to tease you, but you just don't listen. You know you are amazing this time." Han Feng also helped him forward and helped Yan Ning up together.
Yan Ning's fall had attracted the attention of some people, and several security guards who maintained order also walked here, but when they saw that several people met, they greeted each other, so they walked away and rushed to greet other guests.
"Why are you here? You are coming here to watch the performance, right?" Han Feng asked while helping Yan Ning dust off his body.
"Mr. Chen's friend who can do magic tricks ran to the school to give us an invitation at noon, saying that we must come after school, and that you and Mr. Chen are here too." Peng Hao answered Han Feng's question.
"Yes, he also said that the banquet was rich and the food was very particular, so we came quickly." Yan Ning agreed.
Han Feng laughed and scolded Yan Ning and punched him in the shoulder: "You little foodie, when you hear something is food, you run faster than anyone else."
Yan Ning smiled awkwardly: "Isn't my injury just right? I need to take some good supplements. Boss, you are the same. The injury is just right, and you have to make more supplements." Suddenly, he found Xiaoyan in a wheelchair and immediately started to make trouble with her, "Our sister-in-law also needs to eat more supplements to nourish her."
"That's right, just leave, hurry up and go in. It's too late to go later, and there's no good place." Peng Hao and Qingchundou also started to make a fuss together, ignoring Han Feng, and stepped forward to snatch the wheelchair from him, pushing Xiao Yan to walk like a venue. Han Feng, who had already wanted to leave, looked helplessly at Xiao Yan who looked back at him, and walked towards the venue with a few brothers.
When they arrived at the door, the security guard in charge of the inspection asked them to show the invitation in their hands. Han Feng and others handed over the invitation. After the security guard took it, he looked up and down in surprise, as if he was a little suspicious of the identity of the people.
Peng Hao was a little unhappy: "Hey, what are you looking at? Are you still afraid that our invitation is fake, right?"
The security guard hurriedly apologized to them: "No, no, don't get me wrong. There is no such thing as this. Please come in, please come in."
He handed the invitations of several people to a etiquette lady beside him. After seeing the invitation, the lady was slightly stunned, but the speed of returning to calm was much faster than that of several security guards. He immediately showed a sweet smile and stepped forward to greet the people: "Several gentlemen and ladies, please come with me."
Under the guidance of the etiquette lady, several people walked into the venue and walked forward along the red carpet. Along the way, there were many guests sitting around every table they passed by, some talking loudly and some whispering softly, but judging from their dress, they were all very identifiable people.
Han Feng originally thought that several people would be led to a humble position in the corner, but unexpectedly, the lady in charge kept walking towards the stage. They were embarrassed to ask more questions, so they could only follow closely and be led to a table closest to the stage.
This table is more independent than other tables, and now there is no one in front of the table. The lady in charge greeted several people with a smile and sat down.
Without looking back, Han Feng could feel the countless envious and jealous gazes ejaculated behind him, and said nervously: "Miss, are you mistaken? Are we really sitting here?"
Miss Etiquette replied with a smile: "Mr. Han, don't doubt it. Your seat is here. Please sit down quickly. There is another Miss Chen who has not arrived. When she arrives, your table will be ready."
Peng Hao also felt that sitting here was too conspicuous. He felt that everyone was looking at them before the performance started and asked, "Miss, why are we so conspicuous? Is it too conspicuous?"
The Etiquette Miss replied: "This is specially arranged by Mr. Mark and Mr. Lei Hua. You are all VIP guests. It is arranged here to facilitate the performance. You don't have to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
Since Miss Etiquette said that, it was hard for a few people to refuse, so they could only sit down. After waiting for a while, Chen Xiao did not come. Peng Hao looked at the other tables that had started serving food one after another, and gently touched Han Feng: "Boss, have you called Teacher Chen to see when she will come? You see that other tables have served food."
"You greedy cat, you know how to eat." Han Feng ridiculed him, but he still picked up the phone. After all, after breaking up in the morning, there was no news about Chen Xiao, and he was a little worried, afraid that Chen Xiao would have something to do...
After returning from the hotel, Chen Xiao went home directly and sat in the car home. She was still thinking about how to convince Ouyang Yiyi. She felt that Ouyang Yiyi insisted on not agreeing now, perhaps it was not because of the money problem, but because of the high pressure from the military region and their dean, which made him feel a sense of pressure invisibly.
As a doctor, although he has to bear a lot of pressure every time he undergoes surgery, and although he is already very sure of some surgeries, it is the same. But if these pressures only come from his heart, it may not be anything. As long as he is a doctor with good psychological quality, he can generally overcome it. But this time, although the treatment of an ordinary patient is still a treatment, due to the intervention of the military region, he will inevitably bear a layer of political shadow. This pressure is not something that ordinary people can imagine and bear.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao called Liang Jingsheng again, hoping that the other party could give her Ouyang Yiyi's phone number. She wanted to call Ouyang Yiyi in person and try to convince the other party. But Liang Jingsheng's answer was that because he got angry at the director of Ruijin Hospital, the other party was worried that he would give him the phone number and he would directly call Ouyang Yiyi and make a mess, so he refused to give him the phone number, so he only provided Chen Xiao with the phone number.
Although he could not get Ouyang's call directly, Chen Xiao still called the director of Ruijin Hospital with great hope and told the other party about his identity and plans, hoping that the other party could help her contact Ouyang. However, the director said that Ouyang's mood is also very unstable now. The two had a fight just now, so it is best not to stimulate him now, and he did not tell Chen Xiao the phone number.
Helpless Chen Xiao could only go home alone, sitting bored in front of the computer. However, he was still thinking about Han Feng's affairs and his past that he could not bear to look back on...
Chen Xiao’s home is in the area of Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan, a remote suburb of Beijing, a place called Xinjie Village. Next to the village is vegetable fields and farmland. Every day, he has to walk several miles to the primary school in the town to study. Her parents are both farmers and have no education, so I hope she can study hard and have a future.
Chen Xiao is indeed very successful and has always had good grades in his studies. When he graduated from elementary school, he was directly admitted to a key middle school in Fangshan County without the exam.
After entering junior high school, Chen Xiao, whose body gradually developed, began to attract the attention of many classmates in the school. Because the school is far away from her home, he has to ride a bicycle to and from school every day, so on the way home, there are always many boys walking with her if they have anything to do, and they are almost there.
At first, out of politeness, Chen Xiao talked to them, but later he found that they were all those who came to contact him with impure purposes, so he ignored them. Fortunately, there were a few girls in their village who were studying in this school together, so Chen Xiao went to and from school with them, but nothing happened.
But just when Chen Xiao was about to graduate from junior high school and take the high school entrance examination, a big change happened at home. While helping her neighbor build a house, her father accidentally fell off the roof and broke his leg. He could not go to the field to do farm work again. The neighbor was unwilling to make high-priced compensation, thinking that this was Chen's own reason, and he wanted to fool him after only giving two thousand yuan.
Of course, Chen Xiao and her mother refused to do it and directly caused the matter to the court. However, because the other party had established a relationship, the lawsuit was lost in the end. They offended the village cadres because of this. Chen's father even lost some of the protections and benefits that he should enjoy in the village.
For this matter, Chen Xiao's mother was very anxious. She had to take care of the sick father Chen, while taking care of the vegetables grown in the fields, and urging Chen Xiao to study hard. A series of blows made this originally strong rural woman depressed, but when Chen's father saw the changes in the family, he couldn't help at all. He could only complain about himself frequently and secretly shed tears.
