Chapter 848 You first, I’ll take care of the aftermath
Ji Chenling thought seriously and asked He Qin: "Is the town far from here? Are there any interesting places?"
"Half an hour's drive away, there is a market every Saturday. There are many sellers and you can buy a lot of specialties, many of which are grown by farmers themselves," He Qin said.
"What's going on now?" Ji Chenling asked.
"There are barbecues and the like in the evening, and there is also a supermarket. There are many local specialties in the supermarket. Our town here is not as lively as the city." He Qin said apologetically.
"Does the supermarket sell ice cream? Or are there cakes?" Ji Chenling asked again.
"some."
Ji Chenling nodded and said to Bai Xi: "I heard that when you are in a bad mood, you will feel much better if you eat some sweets. Let's go to the town to see it now."
Bai Xi felt much better when she heard Ji Chenling asking.
Ji Chenling, it seems... is still the same Ji Chenling.
She raised a smile. "Okay, I want to eat an ice cream and a cake. By the way, I also want to buy gifts for Tiantian and Zuo Si's two children. If you see good specialties, buy some back."
"
"Well, let's go." Ji Chenling stood up and handed his hand to Bai Xi.
Bai Xi held his hand without hesitation and stood up.
He Qin's wife came over and asked Bai Xi, "Are you leaving now?"
"We are going to town to play." Bai Xi said with a smile.
"Are you coming back then?" He Qin's wife asked.
Bai Xi looked at Ji Chenling and asked with his eyes.
"Probably won't come back." Ji Chenling replied.
"Then take your things away. I've prepared them and put them next to the sofa outside. I'll help you carry them to the car now. Lao He, help me." He Qin's wife looked at He Qin.
"Yeah." He Qin also stood up.
Bai Xi followed Ji Chenling to the car. A man Bai Xi didn't know was the driver and opened the back door for them.
He Qin came over with a suitcase and said to Ji Chenling: "My old lady put all the things in the suitcase for easy checking."
"Yeah." Ji Chenling responded.
"Thank you. Auntie is so considerate. Next time you pass by City J, be sure to call me and I'll treat you to dinner." Bai Xi said politely.
The driver took He Qin's suitcase and put it in the trunk.
"You go first." Ji Chenling said to Bai Xi.
Bai Xi got into the car and waved to He Qin.
He Qin's wife ran out of the house, carried a bag, stuffed the things into Bai Xi, and said, "This is the durian cake made by aunt, you can eat it on the way."
"Oh, thank you, auntie."
He Qin's wife waved to Bai Xi.
Ji Chenling sat next to Bai Xi.
The driver closed the door and started driving.
When Bai Xi turned around, He Qin and He Qin's wife were still standing outside the door, watching their car leave.
"They are very hospitable." Bai Xi said.
"Yes." Ji Chenling responded, "Next time you treat someone to dinner, call me."
Bai Xi smiled, "Of course."
Bai Xi's cell phone rang, and she saw it was a voice call invitation from Zhou Tong.
This time?
Bai Xi answered the call.
"Mr. Bai, "Mr. Bai, do you want to recruit people?" Zhou Tong asked.
"Huh? Well, I want to ask the Human Resources Department. They shouldn't be recruiting people for the time being. What's wrong?" Bai Xi asked.
"Mr. An asked me to make a choice, either go to the concert and leave the company, or follow her on a business trip to country T. I want to go to the concert, but I can only leave obediently." Zhou Tong said pitifully.
Bai Xi felt that losing his job for a concert was not worth the gain.
"Well, don't be impulsive. Concerts and work are more important. I remember I promised you that I would let you have a meal with Hua Chenxuan. I will give you a few more concert tickets. You can give them to your friends.
When you have dinner with Hua Chenxuan another day, ask him to sing your favorite song to you, and you can take a video." Bai Xi suggested.
"Really?" Zhou Tong was surprised, "Whenever I eat, when I can take videos, if I had this, I would probably slap a bunch of plastic girls in the face who said I was bragging."
"Wait until you come back from your business trip. I'll ask my friend to make arrangements for you to work hard. I think it's inappropriate to lose your job and deviate from your life to chase stars. I'm still on the road, so I'll hang up first." Bai Xi said.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Bai. Thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me, I thought I was about to suffer from depression. You don't know, just a few hours ago, I felt like my hair was all white."
I called you after I called you several times, but I had no other choice, so go ahead and do your work first. May your work go smoothly and everything goes well." After Zhou Tong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"Ji Chenling, what kind of person is An Xin? As far as you know." Bai Xi asked tentatively.
"She is usually very talkative, understands the important things in her work, is meticulous in her work, is very capable, and is willing to go out of her way to achieve her goals. She makes trouble when she should, and is unambiguous when she should be rigorous. She looks harmless.
, In fact, she is vigorous and resolute, like a fox and a wolf, so why are you asking about her?" Ji Chenling asked.
"Well..." Bai Xi didn't want to say bad things about people behind their backs.
I just feel that An Xin is too strong, too ruthless, and too over-the-top. In order to target Zhou Tong, she actually used work to force him to make compromises.
"Just asking." Bai Xi asked ambiguously.
"She is the adopted daughter adopted by the Cen family." Ji Chenling said.
"Adopted daughter? She looks like a mixed race."
"The Cen family has always been in the United States and has no heirs. I only live in their name."
"Then why is her surname An? If she is an adopted daughter, her surname should be Cen, right?" Bai Xi asked puzzledly.
"Her name was Cen Xin before. After the Cen family members died, she changed her name to An Xin. Why did you change your name to Qin Xi?" Ji Chenling asked.
"I want to start my life again. Instead of having a surname of Bai. In fact, I have no relationship with the family with the surname of Bai. I might as well change my surname to that of my grandmother. However, I still can't change some habits. When I introduce myself to others, I will say that I am
Bai Xi." Bai Xi explained.
She saw someone passing in front of the car out of the corner of her eye, and subconsciously looked ahead.
The driver also saw the person who suddenly rushed out and braked immediately.
The sudden braking caused Bai Xi and Ji Chenling to bump forward due to inertia.
Fortunately, I wasn't driving very fast, so the collision wasn't severe.
"What's wrong?" Ji Chenling asked the driver.
"Mr. Ji, I seem to have hit someone." The driver said, unbuckling his seat belt and getting out of the car.
Ji Chenling ordered vigilantly: "Don't get out of the car yet."
"Ah?" The driver looked at Ji Chenling in confusion.
Ji Chenling looked towards the roadside.
There are banana forests on both sides of the road. Although it is already seven o'clock, country T is a tropical country and the sky is still bright.
Ji Chenling discovered that there was someone in the banana forest.
The first thought in his mind was not to protect himself, but... he didn't want Bai Xi to get hurt and frightened...
