After work, Qiao Zhiyi stepped outside and saw a low-key black sedan parked at the hospital's entrance.

A person shouldn't always rely on others. If you lean on a tree, the tree might fall. If you rely on people, they might run away.
Only relying on oneself is the most reliable.

Just to get familiar with the faces.
