The door was knocked halfway open. Someone rushed into the office recklessly, bringing with it a gust of cold wind and a sweet and strong smell of perfume.Why don't you open the door?Are you playing chess or cards?The woman's chubby face got through the crack of the door first, and her shrill voice became angry, okay, are you playing chess with the door closed?Do you know why our country is lagging behind?Just because you raised a bunch of slackers, you eat and wait to die, you don't work at work, and you play chess every day! They are playing chess.Liu Sheng often played Go with Dean Qiao. When Dean Qiao played chess, he didn't deal with work. If anyone didn't know how to play, Liu Sheng would come forward and send them away.Liu Sheng jumped up from the chair, and was about to drive the woman away, when the woman pulled out a sword from the satchel, and saw a silver light flash in mid-air, the woman shouted, get out of the way, Ma Zi get out of the way!

It sounded like Sister Zheng, used to being domineering, she didn't bother to ask Liu Sheng's name, and always called him Ma Zi.It was a woman in her forties, dressed in a fashionably fashionable fashion that was a bit nondescript.She was wearing a scarlet down jacket, black bodybuilding pants, white sneakers, and a brown leather scabbard on her shoulder. The scabbard made her look domineering, like a new-age King Kong.Every time Liu Sheng saw Sister Zheng's sword, he couldn't help laughing.Hearing his sniggering, Sister Zheng suddenly turned her head and picked Liu Sheng's jaw with her sword, Ma Zi, are you laughing at my sword?There are too many monsters in the society now, I carry a sword with me to kill monsters, what's so funny?Liu Sheng carefully dodged the sword, I'm not a monster, don't kill me.Sister Zheng said, you are not worthy of being a monster, you are a pony, pony, don't you know me?Liu Sheng said, how dare I not know you?You are Sister Zheng from Hoop Lane, you are a multi-millionaire.

Who hasn't heard of Sister Zheng and her younger brother, Boss Zheng, from Hoop Lane?Those siblings are a legend.Their entrepreneurial journey is closely related to residents’ bathing. The older sister contracted the Yangde Pool, an old bathhouse at the entrance of Kuutong Alley. The younger brother first helped people scrub their backs in the pool. Dechi, the current water culture.The advertisement cleverly catered to the consumption psychology of a large number of bathers advocating culture, and Yangde Pool has become famous for a while, and there are many guests.The siblings started from Kuutong Lane, and soon became bigger and stronger, and established Zheng's Water Culture Chain Enterprise, which owned more than 20 bathing centers at its peak.Later, the company expanded again and changed its name to Zhengshi International Investment and Trading Company, engaged in foam plastic business, clothing business, steel business, gasoline business, and went abroad to buy the operating rights of two mines in Vietnam. The richest man in the south of the city.Prosperity and wealth come too fast, too much. My elder sister knows how to enjoy it, but my younger brother can't adapt for a while. Unfortunately, he suffers from paranoia and always suspects that someone is going to assassinate him.One night late at night, Boss Zheng ran for several kilometers on the street with a suitcase, broke into the gate of the Public Security Bureau, and claimed that someone was chasing him.The staff on duty found that he was only wearing a pair of briefs, and both wrists were covered with expensive Swiss watches, and asked him why he was in this attire, and he said, it was too late, it was too late.Open the box and check. Except for a few boxes of condoms, there are bundles of RMB. At first, the staff on duty thought they met a sleepwalking rich man. After asking, they found out that it was not the fault of the nightmare. It was the fear that defeated the young Boss Zheng. , he complained that the kidnapper left a lot of long and short ropes in his office, alleging that the killer disguised himself as a glamorous massage lady and was waiting for an opportunity to strike tonight.The staff on duty quickly contacted Sister Zheng, and Sister Zheng cried on the phone on the spot, saying, he is the chairman, how can the company go public like this?The policeman on duty asked, is your company's stock going to be listed?To Shanghai or Shenzhen?Sister Zheng cried and said, not going to Shanghai or Shenzhen anymore, go to Jingting Hospital!

Boss Zheng has become Dean Qiao's patient, but Sister Zheng has become his god. God is not to be neglected. Dean Qiao winked at Liu Sheng, why don't you make tea for Sister Zheng?He went to open the medicine cabinet by himself.Kaiseru, where is Kaiseru?He muttered, Boss Zheng is still constipated?Long-term constipation affects gastrointestinal function. I take this situation very seriously. I ordered them to send a few more bottles of Kaisailu yesterday. I blame Nurse Li for not having a long memory. Sister Zheng sneered, Kai Sailu Kai Sailu, you know Kai Sailu, I told you yesterday that my brother has passed his bowel movements, now it is not a matter of constipation, but a matter of his status here.We paid so much money to the hospital, you gave us a double bed, the room faces west, what do you mean?My younger brother can't live in a west-facing room. If he wants to live in a special bed, he has to face south!

Special wards are prepared for departments and bureaus and above. Giving your brother a second bed is considered special care.Dean Qiao patiently explained to Sister Zheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and said, the special bed is Commander Kang, the old revolutionary leader of the Red Army, have you met Commander Kang?How are you getting along? We didn't get along, he looked down on us, and we didn't pay attention to him!Sister Zheng seemed to have been stabbed to a sore spot, and said angrily, don't mention the level to me, now it is a commercial society, money is the level!What kind of big cadre I haven't seen?I didn't want to shake the hand of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and I also shook the hand of the governor!Don't use Commander Kang to pressure us. Commander Kang didn't pay for hospitalization. How much did we pay?Why is he the first bed and my brother is the second bed?

Dean Qiao's face was a little uneasy, and he signaled Liu Sheng to put away the chess pieces on the coffee table, and he took out a box of essential oil from his pocket, dipped some in it with his fingers, and applied it on his forehead in circles.Headache and headache, one side is the commander, the other side is the big boss, I dare not offend either side.He smiled wryly at Liu Sheng, and made a joke by insinuating that this unlucky dean is really a hard job, he can't make any money, and offends people all day long, Liu Sheng, why don't you let it go. how much is it?Sister Zheng asked suddenly.

Dean Qiao didn't realize it for a while, how much is it? How much is it to buy you, the dean?Sister Zheng swung her sword in the air. She said, I might as well just buy the entire Jingting Hospital. Where does my younger brother want to live? How much?Make an offer! The air in the office suddenly froze. Dean Qiao had a shocked expression on his face. He stared at Sister Zheng's face and kept saying, "It's absurd, Sister Zheng, you are too absurd."Sister Zheng said, you are absurd. In the current market economy, what can't be bought and what can't be sold?The Japanese bought the Empire State Building in New York, have you heard of it?I have a friend, a car has been replaced by a deputy director, do you believe it or not?Liu Sheng laughed at the side, 10 million, can you sell it to her? The hospital will give it to her, and the mental patients will also sell it to her. It’s cheap, 1,000 yuan each.Dean Qiao stopped Liu Sheng from booing with his eyes. After deliberating for a long time, he finally adopted a kind way of persuasion. Sister Zheng, I know you have money. If you have money, it is better to spend it elsewhere. If you have money, don’t buy Jingting Hospital. , this hospital belongs to the state, how dare I ask you for a price?Besides, don't forget the well digger when you drink water. Who is it that your family is able to make a fortune today?Don't you rely on the Communist Party?Who does the Communist Party rely on?It all depends on Commander Kang and the others who fought in the country back then. He is a hero of the revolution. How dare we compete with him for the ward? Sister Zheng, are you right?

Sister Zheng was unwilling to nod, and she didn't dare to shake her head easily. She was forced to apologize a little, but the apology just flashed from her eyes and disappeared immediately. She was still full of anger. Dean Qiao, I ask you, today Day of the week? Yagyu turned to the desk and said, Please look at the calendar, today is Thursday. Shut up Ma Tsai, it's not your turn to speak here.Sister Zheng pointed at Liu Sheng with her sword, the tip of the sword turned in a circle angrily, hung down, and tapped on the ground, today is Thursday, the office I want, are you ready? Dean Qiao may be forgetful, or he may be pretending to be confused, he looked at Sister Zheng in confusion, what office?Sister Zheng, are you going to work at Jingting Hospital?

It's not me, it's Miss Bai!The female publicist hired by my brother doesn't want an office?Sister Zheng cried out, did you ignore my words?I took care of you last week. Miss Bai is here to report today. We will rent the empty room on the east side of the third floor and use it as her office! Dean Qiao remembered something, oh, that lady.His expression became complicated. He scratched his head and said, what exactly does this female publicist do?Liu Sheng heard what Dean Qiao was worried about, and he helped out. There are public relations ladies who are regular, pheasant, and peddlers. What if it's a chicken woman?This is a sanatorium for the mentally ill. How can you let the patient recuperate with peace of mind when a cock wife walks around?

You bastard, if you interrupt again, I'll kill you with a sword!Sister Zheng angrily pointed her sword at Liu Sheng, made a beheading gesture, and then shouted to the door, Miss Bai, what are you still doing outside?Come in and show them if you are regular or a pheasant, show them if you are a dick! That Miss Bai was still standing in the corridor. A group of shadows swayed by the door, and only then did they notice the sound of high-heeled shoes knocking on the ground outside the door.She came in, like a moist cloud, Yagyu remembered very well, the light in the room dimmed somehow as soon as she entered, and he greeted the young woman as if he had greeted the approaching of a sad and mysterious night.

In her hand, Miss Bai held a binder and a mobile phone with golden flower-shaped ornaments hanging from it.Her body smelled faintly of gardenias, and a black scarf covered her head and most of her face. Liu Sheng could only see her eyes, which were dark and beautiful, condensing two melancholy clouds.A dark brown fur coat covered her body, as thick as a curtain, hanging below her knees, revealing her slender calves, as well as the pair of purple diamond-encrusted high-heeled shoes. Undoubtedly, it was a date arranged by fate, their eyes collided, lightning met unexpectedly, accompanied by a hidden hurricane, the black scarf on her head slipped off somehow, and a pale and familiar face was exposed to him In the line of sight, at first it was arrogance, and then it was panic.They recognized each other.After only two or three seconds of hesitation, Liu Sheng saw her turn her face away and said to Dean Qiao, do you have a fax machine here? It's a fairy.The fairy is back.The memory resounded and became fragments all over the ground, emitting a frightening sharp light.Her fur coat dragged on for a total of ten years.He saw two rabbits.Saw the water tower.I saw Borun.He subconsciously covered half of his face, and slowly moved towards the office door. Dean Qiao noticed his abnormal behavior, Liu Sheng, where are you going?I have a lot of things here and I need your help.Liu Sheng panicked for a moment, and said casually, wait a minute, I have to go to the bathroom.He ran to the corridor and suddenly felt that he had forgotten something, so he turned around and shouted into the office that she must be regular.
