Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 499 Please Guide Me for the Rest of My Life (5)

She must have been unaware of it just now. Seeing someone approaching, she spoke first: "Sorry, I didn't notice anyone was there."

“Miss, you should be more careful about your behavior in public next time,” Gu Wei said, walking closer.

Only then did the two get a clear look at each other. Xu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Hmm, is your leg alright?"

If she wasn't mistaken, the pebble must have hit his leg.

Seeing her indifferent attitude after he finished speaking, Gu Wei looked at her expressionlessly and said, "It's nothing."

Xu Qing nodded: "It's alright." After saying that, she turned to leave.

Gu Wei watched her walk straight ahead and couldn't help but speak up: "You..."

Xu Qing turned around: "Is there anything else? Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up? Or do you want compensation?"

"No need, I am a doctor. I just wanted to remind you that there is road construction ahead, and you can't pass." Gu Wei didn't react to her words in any special way, but spoke calmly.

Xu Qing really didn't know this, since she didn't have the habit of using her mental power to constantly pay attention to her surroundings in the modern world.

She turned around, her face showing no misunderstanding of his embarrassment: "Thank you, doctor."

Looking at her slightly upturned eyes, Gu Wei blurted out, as if possessed, "My surname is Gu."

"Oh, thank you, Dr. Gu." Xu Qing nodded. She knew him; he was Gu Wei, the male protagonist of this world.

After speaking, Xu Qing realized that the man was looking at him without saying anything. Xu Qing actually understood what he meant; he was asking her a question.

"My surname is Xu. I'll be going now if you have nothing else to say."

Xiao Qi teased, "Host, you didn't even leave a business card. People who want to seek compensation from you won't be able to find you."

"I didn't use any force." Her subtext was that the pebble wasn't powerful enough to send someone to the hospital.

Xiao Qi also knew: "Hehe."

Gu Wei: "Mm."

She was very lucky; she flagged down a taxi as soon as she reached the roadside.

Distracted by this incident, Gu Wei actually felt a little more relaxed. Only then did he remember to take out an alcohol spray bottle from his pocket and spray it on his trouser leg a few times.

Then, he tried standing by the roadside waiting for a car, but found that he hadn't seen one for a long time.

Gu Wei, who was driving home last: ...

He felt that his behavior of waiting for so long by the roadside was somewhat inexplicable.

When Xu Qing returned home, she received the recruitment candidate information that Assistant Lin had screened.

She looked at each one, but unfortunately none of them satisfied her, so she sent her a message asking her to keep looking.

"Xiao Qi, have you found the person?"

"It'll be quick, we'll be able to select the suitable ones tomorrow."

"Okay." Xu Qing opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice water, and was about to drink it when she remembered that she needed to soothe her stomach, so she put it back.

She turned around, grabbed a cup, filled it with warm water, and sipped it slowly.

In a private room at a restaurant, Xu Qing and Shen You sat facing each other, with delicious-looking dishes laid out in front of them as they ate and chatted.

After finishing their business, Shen You asked about something else: "Xiao Qing, I heard you've been looking for a manager lately. Why all of a sudden?"

The affairs of the Xu Group are of great concern to all companies. If Xu Qing does not hide her movements, everyone will naturally know them easily.

He was a little surprised when he found out, after all, everyone knows Xu Qing is a workaholic.

Since taking over the company a few years ago, she has always focused on work.

Xu Qing: "To be honest, Brother Shen You, I'd like to relax a bit right now, and good health is the most important thing." For the sake of the mission, she has focused on health preservation throughout her life.

Upon hearing this, Shen You put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, "What's wrong with your health? Is it serious?"

Xu Qing shook her head: "It's just that my stomach is a little upset. Brother Shen You knows the nature of our work. We often have to socialize and drink, and we also forget to eat when we're busy."

Shen You nodded and sighed, "That's true. I also have this problem. Have you gone for a checkup?"

Xu Qing didn't speak, but Shen You immediately understood the situation: "Aren't you going to get it checked out?"

"I don't think it's that serious yet."

Xu Qing calls this friend, whom she has known as her sister for many years, "brother," and the two are also business partners.

Shen You finally spoke up, saying, "It would be more reassuring to get a checkup. You can go to the Shen family's hospital."

The Xu family has no involvement in the pharmaceutical industry in China. The cooperation between the two companies is Xu Qing's plan to use her overseas pharmaceutical research to establish a foothold in China in cooperation with the Shen family.

Xu Qing refused: "I heard that gastroscopy is not very comfortable." She didn't want to suffer like that, and she knew her own condition.

I never expected her to say that. This invincible businesswoman is actually afraid of having a gastroscopy.

"Painless gastroscopy is available."

Xu Qing: "..." It's not about whether it hurts or not.

Shen You found her reaction somewhat amusing and didn't try to persuade her further. Instead, he thought of telling his sister to talk to her.

"If you feel unwell, you should seek medical attention promptly."

"Yes, I will." Xu Qing did not refute his kindness.

She checked the time; the two of them had arranged to meet at the company to discuss work, and then went out for lunch together.

"Brother Shen You, I have a meeting later."

Shen You stood up and picked up his coat: "I also need to go back to the company for a meeting to arrange subsequent cooperation."

Xu Qing saw the person off before returning to the company. She had to work overtime today, and she sighed deeply at the thought.

Fortunately, the person Xiaoqi found is already in place. After the interview tomorrow, if they are suitable, they can share the workload.

At 9:30 p.m., Xu Qing returned home and immediately threw herself onto the sofa, saying, "I'm exhausted. Even if the sky falls tomorrow, I won't get up early."

If it weren't for the need to take care of her stomach, she would definitely have gone into the space and slept for days on end.

Xiao Qi said considerately, "Host, I've filled the bathtub with water for you. You can take a bath later to relax."

Xu Qing curled the corners of his mouth: "What a good system, it wasn't a waste of time to feed you."

"Hehe, host."

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed, and sleepiness gradually crept in.

It was only after Xiaoqi reminded her that she got up in time, washed herself clean, put on a bathrobe, and went out.

Feeling much more refreshed after taking a shower, Xu Qing took out her "spiritual nourishment" and started reading a novel.

She got hooked on it again, watching it with great interest late into the night, and her aunt-like laughter could be heard from time to time throughout the room.

Finally, she put down her phone and prepared to go to sleep because her eyelids were drooping so badly.

Knowing that no one at the company would dare to call her early tomorrow morning, she was too lazy to turn on airplane mode and went straight to sleep.

Early in the morning, the sun had already risen, and Xu Qing was sound asleep when a particularly jarring telephone ring woke her up.

Even if the sky were to collapse, she wouldn't get up.

When the phone rang, she was impatient and didn't even look at it. She just closed her eyes, reached for the phone, and hung up immediately.

A moment later, the phone rang again, as if she wouldn't give up until she answered it.

Xu Qing had no choice but to pick up her phone and, without even opening her eyes, casually pressed the answer button, holding the phone to her ear: "Hey, you'd better have something very important to say!"
