Chapter 181 I want to go see him
Across the ocean.
The golden sand, as fine as silk, gently spreads along the edge of the azure sea. Sunlight sprinkles on the sparkling surface of the water, like countless diamonds dancing.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze carried a faint salty smell. Not far away, a group of blonde, blue-eyed bikini-clad beauties were playing beach volleyball, each with a voluptuous figure and a hot body.
Xie Qingyu lay on a lounge chair, basking in the sun and enjoying the scenery. He wore sunglasses, and the buttons on his brightly colored floral shirt were askew, revealing his lean abs. His profile was sharp and cold, which contrasted sharply with his attire.
Several blonde beauties kept intentionally or unintentionally tossing the ball this way, their flirtatious glances and kisses were incredibly hot and bold.
Little did they know that Xie Qingyu had already fallen asleep quietly with his eyelids closed behind his sunglasses. Tan Qing saw everything clearly from the side, and those beauties were simply throwing flirtatious glances at a blind man.
"Brother Qing, I advise you to watch less, otherwise I'll tell Bai Zhiwei that you're staring at foreign beauties with your eyes wide open."
Xie Qingyu kept his head down with his eyes closed, too lazy to even lift them, which made Tan Qing both amused and exasperated.
Tan Qing, also wearing vacation shorts, held a glass of chilled watermelon juice. "And what about you? You don't have a girlfriend, why don't you look for one?"
"I just don't like foreign girls."
"So what kind of person do you like? You're almost 30, you don't have some kind of hidden illness, do you? You can't hide your illness and avoid seeking medical treatment."
"......"
Xie Qingyu sat up abruptly, took off his sunglasses, and smiled amiably on his handsome face. "The weather is really nice today, but life isn't always smooth sailing. How about I deduct some of your bonus?"
Tan Qing said with a serious expression, "President Gu, let's talk about work. The James family still has objections to our last contract, and they are also working on a new industry area recently."
"What field?"
"I heard it's related to the AR interactive electronics industry."
"Oh."
The technology industry was none of their concern, so Xie Qingyu didn't take it to heart.
He has been working overtime and collaborating with local businesses to increase investment. He has already acquired shares in some local companies and purchased real estate. Now he just needs to gradually expand his company's business here.
Xie Qingyu is a man destined to become the king of Hollywood; he must have a firm grip on the small European and American markets.
"That's about it. I'll handle that contract via email later. I'll finish up the rest in the next few days and book two tickets to go back to China next week."
"it is good."
The itinerary was finalized in a few words, and the joy of finally being able to return home made Xie Qingyu feel refreshed. He couldn't help but glance at the group of beautiful girls playing ball.
A beautiful woman felt the sharp gaze of a handsome wealthy businessman from the East, and immediately tripped over her own feet and fell down, inadvertently revealing her charming waist and impressive cleavage.
“Dish.”
Tan Qing didn't hear clearly, so she leaned closer and asked, "What?"
Xie Qingyu closed his eyes, unable to bear watching. "You played terribly, even worse than my grandpa."
"..." Tan Qing laughed out loud, which was quite despicable.
Late at night, Xie Qingyu returned to the hotel and, after estimating the time, called Xie Yan.
It was daytime in China, lunchtime, and Xie Qingyu couldn't wait to ask Xie Yan what she had eaten that day as soon as the call connected.
Although distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, looking at it can still satisfy one's craving.
However, Xie Yan casually propped her phone up on her water glass and remained seated at the table, busy with her screen. "I'm not hungry right now, I'll eat later. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Not sleepy? ... Why are you smiling so happily? Is there something good happening?"
Although Xie Yan's face was only half visible on the phone screen, the excitement in her eyes and her radiant cheekbones were very obvious.
"Our research project has made great progress, and the global technology summit will be held in a few days."
Although the integration with gaming devices is not yet complete, the chip is now running more and more smoothly and is able to perform better thanks to continuous system upgrades.
The new chip itself is globally leading, and the technology summit was scheduled a month ago, led by an industry association, to attract media and industry attention.
"Companies involved in supply chain collaboration will also give demonstrations at industry exhibitions, and supply chain cooperation forums will be held concurrently..."
Xie Yan stopped halfway through her sentence, "Never mind, why am I talking to you about this? When are you coming back? Xiao Hua has lost weight recently."
"When is your summit? I'm wondering if I can make it in time."
"Tuesday."
"Okay, got it."
"I'll get back to work now; I still have some things to write."
The call lasted less than five minutes before ending. In the darkness, Xie Qingyu held his phone and sighed.
At this moment, Xie Yan's team was working non-stop. The equipment testing was postponed for a few days. Their primary task now was the upcoming science and technology summit, and there was a lot of preparation work to be done.
Just as Xie Yan was working diligently, someone patted her on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xie, someone is looking for you."
She looked up and saw a familiar face standing at the door.
A short-haired girl in a brown t-shirt smiled and waved at her; it was Zhou Panpan.
Logically speaking, Zhou Panpan was from the marketing department and wouldn't usually be at the research institute. Xie Yan guessed what was going on since she was coming to see her, so she got up and went over.
"Xie Yan, are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner. I have something I'd like to ask you."
"it is good."
The two didn't go far and randomly chose a restaurant near the company to sit down. Zhou Panpan looked at the dishes she ordered and asked Xie Yan if she wanted anything added. Xie Yan shook her head and went straight to the point, "Are you trying to ask about the phone call I made to you that morning?"
Zhou Panpan didn't expect her to be so direct. She paused for a moment and then nodded. She smiled a little shyly, "Don't blame me for being presumptuous. I'm just curious because President Shen rarely brings people home."
Xie Yan paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Is President Shen alright? He didn't look well the other day."
Hearing this, Zhou Panpan smiled bitterly. She looked down at the tea leaves floating in her cup, "...Something happened, and I'm still recovering in the hospital. The doctor said his old injury has flared up and he needs to rest for at least a week."
Xie Yan was stunned. Was it really that serious?
Was it because of saving her that day?
"Um..." Xie Yan hesitated, somewhat uncertain, "I wanted to ask about Mr. Shen's leg. Was his old injury due to a fracture?"
“That’s a bit complicated.”
It concerned Shen Yan's privacy, and Zhou Panpan shouldn't have told anyone. However, when she looked at Xie Yan's face, which was so similar to her old friend's, she always easily let her guard down.
"...I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else, but Mr. Shen broke his leg once when he was a child, and then again when he grew up. But that's not the main thing. Fractures can actually be healed. The real problem is that his kneecap was smashed to pieces by someone..."
Zhou Panpan couldn't continue speaking.
Before that incident ten years ago, she and Gu Qingyu had a good relationship. He was humorous and witty and could make people happy. But a car accident changed everything. Shen Yan almost lost her leg.
Therefore, Zhou Panpan could not imagine how much pain Shen Yan would feel if he threw away his cane and ran wildly. Every step would probably be like torture, and he would be risking his life.
He wouldn't say what his reason was.
The waiter came over to serve the food. Zhou Panpan sighed and prepared to eat, but found Xie Yan holding her water glass tightly without moving, her fingertips turning white.
—His knees were smashed.
—It shattered into pieces.
The soft female voice stirred up a violent storm deep within Xie Yan's heart. The words seemed to transform into sharp blades, piercing the softest part of her heart, causing excruciating pain that almost made her breathless.
She was unaware that her eyes were red at that moment.
Xie Yan knew that Xie Qingyu would be ruthless in his grief and anger, but she didn't expect him to be even more cruel than she thought.
"Which hospital is Shen Yan in? I want to go see him."
