Jiang Xiaobai stood at the entrance of the unit and put his phone in his pocket. The call just now was from the manager of the unit where he was previously an intern, asking if he was willing to return to work.
He directly refused and then hung up the phone.
Willing to your mother! He was fired for taking just one day off, and his internship salary was cut in half and would be paid next month. After being fired, none of the colleagues who seemed to have a good relationship with him comforted him. In such a company, what future could there be if he stayed? After hanging up the phone, he deleted all the WeChat contacts of the colleagues from that company. He found a friend request sent a few hours ago with the note "Archives Room". If it's from the archives room, it must be a colleague from here. So he casually clicked to pass.
So, there was the scene where that female comrade suddenly saw that her WeChat friend request was passed just now.
"Xiaobai, where are you going?"
Lao Zhang happened to come over from there and saw Jiang Xiaobai.
"Home. Uncle Zhang, are you going out?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"I'm going to the police station on Weishi Street for something. Why did you borrow so many books? I'll give you a ride by the way. Aren't you on the Han City Commercial Street? It's on my way. I'll help you carry a few."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was holding quite a lot of books, Lao Zhang casually helped carry a few.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
Jiang Xiaobai followed Lao Zhang into the car.
In a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the Chengnong Village on the commercial street. He got out of the car and walked into the village carrying the stack of books. When passing by the yard of Jiang Xue's parents, the gate was closed. He couldn't resist looking through the gap but saw nothing.
He didn't know how Jiang Xue was doing these two days. Had she reconciled with her parents? It felt that the possibility of reconciliation was relatively low. With his current status, he really wasn't worthy of Jiang Xue, a daughter of a wealthy family. The fat landlord aunt would definitely not agree, unless Jiang Xue gave up associating with him.
Alas, the pressure was quite great.
Maybe buy a villa first and a decent car. In this way, although he still wasn't worthy, the gap seemed to be much smaller. Get closer and Jiang Xue insists a little, maybe the fat landlord aunt will agree.
Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while and came up with a solution.
A villa in Qujiang is about 10 to 15 million yuan. A more stylish car is about 8 million yuan. Buy a few brand-name clothes, watches, belts, wallets, etc. 20 million is about right. The withdrawal amount in the Golden House Bookstore is close to 10 million. Plus the money that has already been withdrawn, there is 10 million. If he gathers another 10 million, it can be done. As long as he reads books not included in the bookstore for two consecutive days, there should be a profit of 10 million.
Since a plan was made, it was time to implement it.
Jiang Xiaobai had a quick meal at a small restaurant on the street to solve dinner, then returned to his house. Entering the door and putting down the books, he took a shower. Just as he was about to read a book, his phone rang. He answered the call. It was from Wang Dong.
"Xiaobai, where are you?"
Wang Dong asked.
"I just got home. What's up?"
Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"What's going on between you and Bai Jie? I heard from Yingying that you rejected Bai Jie. Bai Jie has been crying all day. Didn't you try every way to pursue her before? Now that she agreed, you backed out? What's the situation? Do you dislike that Bai Jie had a relationship with Hao Shaoqiu? Let me tell you, for girls of our age now, let alone those who haven't been in a relationship, there aren't many who haven't slept with men. You're still picky. I heard from Yingying that this Bai Jie just had a relationship and is guaranteed to be still a virgin. Don't be picky. If you keep being picky, you'll really become a perennial single dog."
Wang Dong said.
"Ah, I didn't reject her and I'm not picky. Last night after we finished dinner, I accompanied her for a walk in the park. Then I opened a room for her. I originally planned to conveniently treat her stomach problem with acupuncture. Unexpectedly, there was an urgent matter at the unit. I didn't have time to explain and returned to the unit. This is just now that I got back from the unit and was planning to call Bai Jie to apologize in a while."
Jiang Xiaobai explained. In fact, he did forget to call Bai Jie back. This was his mistake.
"You kid were fired. How could there be a unit? Yingying said that Bai Jie called you more than a dozen times this morning, but you didn't answer."
Wang Dong then asked.
"Oh, I haven't had time to tell you. Brother, I'm now working in the criminal police team of our city. I have a semi-public position."
Jiang Xiaobai replied.
"The criminal police team of the city? Oh my god, is it true or false? You kid did something big without a word. How did you get in? There wasn't a sign in advance. Didn't you say you wouldn't take the civil service exam? How did you secretly pass it! You're so not righteous. If I knew you were participating, brother, I would have taken the exam too."
Wang Dong was surprised and complained at the same time.
"Alas, this is rather complicated. I'll tell you slowly when I have time in the future. Alright, let's not talk for now. I'm going to sleep."
Jiang Xiaobai was about to hang up.
"What's the rush? Don't sleep in a hurry. Didn't you brag yesterday about how amazing your medical skills were and almost convinced my Yingying to become your apprentice. Now her stomach hurts. It's probably her period coming. Do you really have the skills to cure my Yingying's illness? If you can cure it, bring her over now."
Wang Dong said.
"Why would I need to bluff? If you want to treat it, come over quickly and buy a pack of silver needles at the pharmacy. Brother guarantees to completely cure your Yingying's illness once and for all."
Jiang Xiaobai said impatiently.
"OK, we'll be there soon!"
Wang Dong hung up the phone.
"This couple is really troublesome."
Jiang Xiaobai put down the phone impatiently. Regarding Zhang Yingying's illness, he was indeed 90% sure of curing it in one go. If it wasn't cured once, come again in a week and it would be 100% solved.
This was the confidence given to him by the primary Chinese medicine skills.不得不说, the Golden House Bookstore is really against the heaven. After rewarding the skills and learning them, he immediately mastered them. There was no need for practice. When using them, it was completely an instinct. Just like learning the primary lightness skill in the morning, when those two cars rushed over, the first response in his consciousness was to jump into the air on the spot.
Half an hour later, Wang Dong brought his girlfriend Zhang Yingying over, holding a pack of silver needles in his hand.
"Oh my, my stomach hurts so much."
Zhang Yingying was supported by Wang Dong.
"So serious."
Jiang Xiaobai was a little surprised. Although he saw Zhang Yingying's symptoms yesterday, he hadn't seen what she looked like when she was ill.
Full of sweat, pale face, no strength at all, and eyes full of tears.
Speaking of this problem, women are indeed more hardworking than men. Once a month, each time it's so painful that it feels like dying. If having a baby, there's also ten months of pregnancy and going through the even more painful childbirth before the baby comes into the world.
Relatively speaking, men don't have to go through these.
"Give me the needles. Support Yingying to lie on the bed."
Jiang Xiaobai took the silver needles from Wang Dong. Nowadays, most of the silver needles used for acupuncture in Chinese medicine are stainless steel needles, not real silver ones. Even the gold needles are also stainless steel, just with a layer of gold plating on the surface. Why not make them with pure silver or pure gold? First, the cost is high. Second, the material is relatively soft. After being inserted, it's easy to break, causing medical accidents. In fact, for Jiang Xiaobai, what material the needles are made of isn't too important. The needles are new, with alcohol. A simple disinfection is fine. After the acupuncture, Wang Dong can just throw them away or take them back for the next use. There's no problem of infection from multiple people's use.
After Jiang Xiaobai wiped the silver needles with an alcohol cotton ball, he came to the bed.
"Xiaobai, don't I need to take off my clothes?"
Zhang Yingying asked nervously.
