The medicine had already seeped into the soil. If they wanted to eat it, they'd have to eat the dirt along with it. The boss was certainly not going to agree. "Bitch, you've gone too far!"
Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow. She applied more pressure, and the boss felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, as if it were dislocating. He cried out in agony, and a woman's faint voice echoed from behind him.
"Are you going to eat it or not?"
The voice was like a demon's. He dared not argue anymore. "I'll eat... I'll eat..."
The taste of dirt was naturally not pleasant. The boss almost threw up after one bite, but he didn't dare to. He forced himself to swallow.
Seeing their brotherhood, Shen Qingqing even asked the other few subordinates to come and eat together. The tall and strong men, however, dared not resist, fearing a beating, and were forced to eat half a basin of dirt.
By the end, their faces were ashen.
Shen Qingqing finally showed mercy and let them go. "Don't let me see you again."
The group supported each other and fled in disgrace.
After driving away the troublemakers, Shen Qingqing accompanied Zhang Xiaotao back to the ward and gave her the special medicine. "This is the medicine to save your brother. You must keep it safe."
Zhang Xiaotao clutched the special medicine, her hands trembling. "Miss Shen... Thank you, thank you so much. Without your help, I truly wouldn't know what to do."
With a "thump," she knelt directly before Miss Shen.
Shen Qingqing quickly helped her up. "What are you doing? I'm helping you for my own sake as well."
Zhang Xiaotao stood up and looked at the frail young man lying on the bed, her eyes turning red. "Brother, quickly, thank Miss Shen. She is your savior!"
The frail young man forced himself to sit up but was pressed down by Shen Qingqing. He could only lie on the bed. "Miss Shen, thank you. After I recover, I'm willing to do anything for you, be it a horse or an ox."
"And me, I'm willing to do anything to repay you."
Shen Qingqing patted the frail young man's shoulder and looked at Zhang Xiaotao. "I don't need your repayment. You just need to tell me, where is my mother?"
This time, Zhang Xiaotao did not hide anything. She dared not. "Miss Shen, it's not that I'm unwilling to say, it's that I truly don't know. I only know that Auntie last sent me a scholarship, from K City."
Why did her mother go to K City?
Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Thank you."
Zhang Xiaotao gave a wry smile. "You thanking me is really too much. You've helped us so much. I'll tell you everything I know."
"Then hurry up and find a doctor to treat your brother properly."
After leaving the hospital, Shen Qingqing returned to the company. As soon as she entered the elevator, she saw Lin Mo also entering. She nodded slightly to acknowledge him. Lin Mo also nodded and then took out his phone, fiddling with something.
She wasn't curious. It was only when the elevator doors opened that she happened to glance and saw a ticket booking message on Lin Mo's phone.
Two tickets, to K City.
Lin Mo went to Fu Jingshu's office as soon as he got out of the elevator. Shen Qingqing waited outside. After Lin Mo came out, she walked in and closed the office door.
"What are you doing here?" Fu Jingshu looked up, his voice very faint.
"There's something I want to discuss with Master Fu."
Looking at his indifferent and abstinent demeanor, Shen Qingqing suddenly felt a destructive urge. She licked her lips and walked towards him with a sway of her body. In front of the desk, she slightly lifted her shapely buttocks and sat on the edge of the desk, showcasing her perfect and sexy figure to the fullest.
Fu Jingshu frowned. "Get down."
Shen Qingqing pouted, her voice charming. "Master Fu, you really are clueless."
Fu Jingshu glanced at her, his back molars quietly clenching. Slowly, he shifted his gaze away, looking at the pen holder on the desk, as if the pen holder held some secret worthy of his study.
"What do you want to discuss with me?"
Shen Qingqing chuckled inwardly. Since he didn't dare to look, it meant he wasn't indifferent. "I heard you're going to K City. Take me with you."
"Why should I take you?"
Shen Qingqing sighed and stood up.
Although Fu Jingshu hadn't looked at her, he could still catch a glimpse of her curves from the corner of his eye. Seeing her stand up now, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking she had given up.
But the next second, his heart skipped a beat.
Shen Qingqing walked around the desk, closing the distance between them. She placed her hands on both sides of his chair and brought her beautiful face close to his. "I've always heard there's a good hot spring in K City and I've always wanted to go. But I just started working at the company, so it's not good to go on vacation right away. Master Fu, since you'll be bringing someone with you anyway, why not bring me?"
She paused, then grasped his tie with one hand and gently pulled. Their breaths instantly mingled.
"You know my capabilities."
Fu Jingshu's expression was blank, but his Adam's apple rolled up and down. "Alright."
As soon as he spoke, he realized his voice had become slightly hoarse.
Shen Qingqing, having achieved her goal, immediately stood up. "Then thank you, Master Fu."
As she left, her steps were exceptionally free and easy.
Fu Jingshu, however, turned grim. He loosened his tie, exhaled a breath of stale air, and took out his phone to make a call to Lin Mo. He said only one sentence: "I'm going to K City on a business trip. You don't need to go. Book another ticket."
"For whom?"
"Shen Qingqing."
The call ended with a click.
Lin Mo stared blankly at his phone, wondering if it was his imagination, but he felt that Master Fu had gritted his teeth when he said the name.
That evening, Shen Qingqing received a call from Lin Mo, saying the flight was at eight in the morning and she needed to be at the airport on time. She hung up and went to talk to Chenchen.
The little guy was still as silent as usual, but when he saw her, he stared at her intently.
"I have to go out for a few days. Be good at home and listen to the doctor, okay?" She hugged Chenchen and gently instructed.
Chenchen nodded obediently, his small hand holding onto the corner of her clothes, looking cautious.
She loved him more and more, and kissed him on the forehead. "Good boy."
The next day, Shen Qingqing arrived at the airport right on time. Lin Mo was there to pick her up. "Master Fu has already boarded. Miss Shen, please hurry."
Shen Qingqing raised an eyebrow slightly. Was he avoiding her?
On the plane, she realized that her seat was quite far from Fu Jingshu's, but she didn't mind. Her goal of going to K City had already been achieved. She looked out at the azure sky, sighing inwardly.
Mom, I will definitely find out the truth and clear your name.
Two hours later, the plane landed. Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu deplaned one after another. Although Lin Mo wasn't there, he had already booked a hotel for them.
The hotel even sent someone to pick them up.
However, when they arrived at the front desk to collect the room key, the receptionist said, "There's only one room left."
