13 - Then, let your mind heat up for me again.

Voices from outside the venue on the first floor reached here from time to time, and at this end of the corridor, after Rong Qi finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

There were varying degrees of shock in their eyes.

Including Cheng Li himself.

After his mind buzzed for a few seconds, Cheng Li realized what Rong Qi meant.

And what's with that victorious smile on his face?

She was the one who had just won the battle with her words, but she hadn't even had time to enjoy the fruits of her victory.

Why did he laugh first?

But this feeling of being sternly sided with is really wonderful.

Cheng Li raised her chin slightly, showing an expression that said, "This is all a small scene, I'll handle it very carefully."

On the other hand, Yu Cheng stood there, unable to bear this scene at first.

Originally, he was angry because he left the company. When he saw Cheng Li who was left alone, he wanted to give Cheng Li a hard lesson based on his status as his former boss and seniority.

Let this kind of young man who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth know that even if he leaves, she means nothing.

Who would have thought that now, he himself would not be able to get off the stage.

What Rong Qi said hit him hard in the face. Even though he thought he was used to seeing people in the market, he was so embarrassed that he almost couldn't stand. His face was green and white, and he simply didn't know what to do.

Besides, there is no one else around him at the moment, not even anyone to smooth things over for him.

Even the air smelled of suffocation.

At this time, a surprised voice not far away shouted: "Lao Yu, Cheng Li."

Cheng Li looked up and saw that it was Ren Kuang and Tang Ruiyuan.

"Mr. Ren," Yu Cheng even saw Ren Kuang now as if he was seeing a savior.

Ren Kuang didn't expect that they would collide with each other, but when he looked up, he saw Rong Qi here.

Everyone who comes to this conference should know Rong Qi.

When he was wondering what kind of combination this was, Yu Cheng whispered: "Mr. Ren, I'm going back first. Let's talk again when we have the opportunity."

"Hey, Lao Yu," Ren Kuang was about to persuade him to stay when he saw Yu Cheng's head. Leave without returning.

Ren Kuang sighed helplessly, thinking that Yu Cheng still cared about him in his heart.

Although Cheng Li understood Ren Kuang's thoughts, he didn't intend to explain.

Ren Kuang looked back at Rong Qi and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Rong, I benefited a lot from what you just said at the meeting about the commercial implementation of autonomous driving."

The first speaker just gave a speech . Afterwards, there was a short discussion time.

Someone present also asked Rong Qi a question, and Ren Kuang was referring to the answer he just made.

Rong Qi nodded: "Thank you. Everyone is here to attend the meeting just to communicate."

Ren Kuang did not expect that he was quite easy to talk to, so he immediately said: "I am Ren Kuang, CEO of Oceanwide Intelligence, and this is my business card."

Although Ren Kuang Kuang is older than Rong Qi, but Rong Qi's influence in the shopping mall does not allow anyone to ignore him.

So the two of them bumped into each other, and it was Ren Kuang who took the initiative to exchange business cards.

Rong Qi took it and exchanged his business cards.

After Ren Kuang accepted it, his lips widened with a smile.

"Then we'll talk later." Rong Qi said politely and prepared to leave.

Of course, Ren Kuang also knew that he was being polite and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I look forward to meeting you again next time." After

a brief business interaction, the two parties saw that the time for the next speech was coming, and they were ready to return to the venue.

Cheng Li stood next to Tang Ruiyuan, waiting to leave together.

Tang Ruiyuan didn't know what he was doing, so he touched her arm with a very small movement.

Cheng Li glanced at him and told him to be honest.

Rong Qi was about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of this side.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and said directly to Cheng Li: "Put the clothes over with you first. I'll go to Shenzhen in the afternoon and won't be back in a few days."

Cheng Li was dumbfounded.

Rong Qi calmly led another group of people who were also dumbfounded and left.

After they left, Tang Ruiyuan looked at Cheng Li for a long time and burst out: "What the hell, what's going on."

Faced with the same confused and shocked expressions on his and Ren Kuang's faces, Cheng Li immediately explained: "We are not in that kind of relationship. ."

But the words Rong Qi just left were too fascinating.

Not only did he mention the clothes, he also told her that she was going to Shenzhen in the afternoon.

This is just like reporting an itinerary.

"What's the relationship?" Tang Ruiyuan asked inquiringly. He was not usually such a gossip, but he was just too curious.

Cheng Li was completely speechless.

It was like a pot suddenly falling from the sky.

If she really had anything to do with Rong Qi, she wouldn't be taking the blame.

But the two of them were obviously nothing, and now everything she said seemed to be trying to hide the truth.

Seeing both of them staring closely at her, Cheng Li could only explain truthfully: "We are classmates."

"Impossible, Rong Qi graduated from Tsinghua University, and he is not an alumnus of our J University," Tang Ruiyuan retorted.

Ren Kuang also nodded.

Tang Ruiyuan, like them, graduated from J University, so he has a well-known alumni of J University.

Cheng Li said patiently: "We are high school classmates."

"Cheng Li, it's okay, you hide it so deeply." Tang Ruiyuan was amazed.

Cheng Li: "No, we haven't been in contact since we graduated from high school. It was just recently that his grandmother moved to live near us, so we met again."

Tang Ruiyuan shook his head with emotion: "Your fate is okay." That

's right . Ren Kuang said: "You have to take advantage of such connections."

Cheng Li heard this and said dullly: "We are just classmates."

She had never thought about the connections Ren Kuang mentioned.

Even though she has always understood that there is a gap as big as the Milky Way between Rong Qi and her, she has never wanted to take advantage of Rong Qi for work convenience.

Of course, if she had to say what she was planning, it was probably him.

Because Rong Qi left Shanghai, Cheng Li also took a break for the past few days.

Every day at two o'clock, the company is home, which made Ling Shuanghua look at her with hesitation several times.

Cheng Li actually knew that Ms. Ling probably wanted to ask about the matter between her and Xu Jiheng, but she could not find a suitable opportunity for a while.

So she simply worked overtime at the company every day.

On this day, she also worked overtime until past twelve o'clock. When Cheng Li turned off the computer and went downstairs, the huge city seemed to quiet down and the hustle and bustle of the day disappeared.

The only advantage of working overtime late enough is that you don't have to queue for a taxi.

Soon she waited for the online car-hailing service, and leaned on the back seat as soon as she got into the car. She was instantly overwhelmed by fatigue.

When they were almost there, the driver reminded him, "Miss, we're here."

Cheng Li took a look and said, "Okay, just sit here."

After she got off the car, she walked forward. When she passed by the garden of the bungalow, she subconsciously Looking up upstairs, I found that the house, which was usually dark at this point, was actually lit at this moment.

Rong Qi is back?

After all, two old people wouldn't stay up until this late.

But just as the thought flashed through her mind, she heard a voice calling for help coming from the house.

Cheng Li stopped and listened carefully again.

The voice was very weak and didn't sound clear.

"To grandma, to grandma," Cheng Li didn't care about anything else and immediately patted the big iron door at the door.

After a while, the door inside was opened, and a stumbling voice ran over: "Help, help."

"Grandpa Rong," Cheng Li recognized the old man's figure and asked, "What's wrong, what happened? ?"

The old man's voice was extremely panicked: "Grandma Rong Qi said her chest hurt and she fainted."

As soon as Grandpa Rong opened the door, Cheng Li ran straight to the second floor without waiting for him.

When she rushed to the bedroom, she saw Grandma Xiang lying on the bed with a pale face. She hurried over and patted her on the shoulder: "Grandma Xiang, Grandma Xiang."

But the old man didn't react at all.

Cheng Li didn't dare to waste time, so she immediately took out her mobile phone and started dialing 120.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Grandpa Rong stood on the other side of the bed, holding Grandma Xiang's hand, almost crying in panic.

Cheng Li urgently informed 120 of the address and asked them to send an ambulance quickly.

She comforted her in a low voice: "Grandpa, don't be afraid, the ambulance will be here soon, right away."

But when she said this, the palm of her hand holding the phone was trembling.

Cheng Li had never learned emergency rescue and did not dare to move to grandma at all, so she could only let her lie on the bed first.

She didn't know how long it took, maybe five minutes, or ten minutes, or even twenty minutes, but she felt like a century.

Until the sound of an ambulance siren broke the silence in the middle of the night.

Cheng Li jumped up, dropped her words and ran out.

"I'll go down and pick up the ambulance crew."

Almost immediately, the ambulance crew put Grandma Xiang on a stretcher and carried her to the ambulance parked outside.

Fortunately, while waiting for the ambulance just now, Cheng Li asked her grandfather to find Grandma Xiang's medical insurance card.

"Which family member is following the car?" the ambulance worker asked.

Grandpa Rong hurried over, but looked at Cheng Li as if asking for help.

After all, he was an old man, and he was a little panicked at the moment. Cheng Li said without hesitation: "Can we come together?"

"Okay, come up."

When they arrived at the hospital, Grandma Xiang was sent to the emergency room. Grandpa is waiting outside.

Cheng Li looked at the door of the emergency room and suddenly asked: "Grandpa, has Rong Qi returned to Shanghai?"

"Not yet. His grandma called him yesterday. He said it would take another two days."

Cheng Li took out his mobile phone. , made up his mind and said: "We have to tell him about this."

What if...

Grandpa Rong hesitated and said: "His grandma has never let us disturb his work, and it's so late."

"Now to Grandma has already entered the emergency room, no matter what, we have to let him know," Cheng Li advised.

After all, once something happens, it is something that people will regret.

That will be a lifelong regret.

Rong Qi was raised by two elderly people.

She believed that the most important things to him in the world were these two old people.

Cheng Li didn't hesitate and dialed the WeChat number directly.

With a beeping sound, finally at the last moment, the call was connected.

"Cheng Li?" Rong Qi's voice was surprised, but with the rising sound at the end, it seemed like there was a sense of unexpected joy.

Cheng Li whispered: "Rong Qi, Grandma Xiang is in the emergency room now."

"What's going on?" There was obviously something being knocked over over there.

"Don't worry, the doctors are currently doing their best to rescue you," Cheng Li reassured, and then she continued: "I just think it's such a big thing, I should call you to tell you."

The other side was obviously anxious. Rong Qi's voice trembled slightly: "Thank you, are you in the hospital now?"

"Well, I am waiting outside the emergency room with grandpa."

Rong Qi: "Please, I will rush back immediately."

"You Don't be anxious yet." Cheng Li was afraid that if something went wrong on the way if he rushed back, she said in a soft but firm voice: "I will always stay here."

The movement there suddenly calmed down, and he was the only one left. Expressed rapid breathing.

"Don't be afraid."

She whispered, her voice penetrating the radio waves, gently soothing his uneasy mind.

Half an hour later, a young man hurried over.

As soon as Grandpa Rong saw him, he said excitedly: "Xiao He, why are you here?"

The other party quickly said: "Mr. Rong called me and said that Grandma Xiang had entered the emergency room, so I rushed over immediately."

" Hello, Miss Cheng, I am He Zhuoyuan, Mr. Rong's assistant," the other party introduced herself as she looked at Cheng Li.

Cheng Li nodded.

He asked softly, "Did the doctor say anything about the situation?"

"Not yet," Cheng Li shook his head.

Since Grandma Xiang entered the emergency room, they have been guarding her outside.

While the two were talking, the door of the emergency room opened, and the doctor walked out and asked directly, "Are they Xiang Yuanxia's family members?"

"Yes," Cheng Li responded.

The doctor said: "The patient has acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and is currently in a critical condition. We have established two venous channels and are also conducting ECG monitoring. However, since the patient's condition is quite serious, our current treatment plan is to perform coronary surgery as soon as possible. Arteriography examination and then vascularization treatment

are necessary for the doctor to explain the condition to the family.

Although Cheng Li couldn't understand a series of medical terms, she chose to believe the doctor: "Okay, we will fully cooperate with the treatment. Please be sure to save the old man."

The doctor nodded and turned around again and entered the emergency room.

After a while, a nurse came over and asked them to pay.

He Zhuoyuan immediately stood up and went to pay the fee.

It wasn't until 5 a.m. that the doctor announced that Grandma Xiang's condition was stable and she was sent to the ICU for observation.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

He Zhuoyuan called immediately, probably to tell Rong Qi the news.

After he finished the call, he said: "Miss Cheng, Mr. Rong asked the driver to take you and the old man back to rest first. If you are here, leave it to me first."

Cheng Li turned to look at Grandpa Rong. The old man was getting older and had managed to survive until now.

"You take Grandpa Rong back first, I'll stay in the hospital."

She promised Rong Qi that she would always stay here.

He Zhuoyuan still wanted to persuade, but Cheng Li waved his hand: "Go back quickly. Grandpa Rong is tired after staying up for so long."

"I'm not tired," the old man obviously didn't want to leave.

Cheng Li coaxed softly: "Grandpa, you have to take care of yourself now, go back and have a good rest, and come back to see grandma during the day."

After some persuasion, the old man was finally persuaded to go back.

He Zhuoyuan helped him leave.

Cheng Li found a seat on the bench in the waiting area outside the ICU and sat down.

Although it was late at night, there were still several people sitting on the benches, either looking anxious or staring numbly at the white wall opposite. Occasionally, one or two low sobs could be heard.

Perhaps many patients in the ICU are unconscious.

On the contrary, the relatives waiting outside were anxious.

Cheng Li had been exhausted until now, but she still held on and wanted to wait until Rong Qi arrived.

But sleepiness and fatigue eventually defeated her consciousness. She closed her eyes and slowly lowered her head, but the moment she fell, she woke up again.

After repeating this several times, she could only tilt her head in a fixed direction.

Instead, it made sitting even more uncomfortable.

I don't know how much time passed.

Half asleep and half awake, she felt her head leaning against something warm. It was so comfortable that her tiredness was lifted away, and she fell into a deeper sleep.

Suddenly, Cheng Li opened her eyes suddenly as if she was dreaming about something.

After being dazed for two seconds, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be leaning against the person next to her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she apologized, turning her head.

But the moment he saw Rong Qi, his heart suddenly dropped.

He is back.

Cheng Ding looked at him.

"I'm back," Rong Qi looked at her cheek with a soft voice.

Cheng Li came back to her senses and immediately told him the current situation: "Grandma Xiang is in the ICU, and the doctor said that at eight o'clock in the morning, she will be pushed out for examination, and our family members have to stay here."

Cheng Li . Li suddenly caught a glimpse of the bright light outside the window and quickly touched her cell phone.

"It's a quarter past seven, don't worry," Rong Qi knew that she was afraid of missing the time.

The two sat on the bench, silent for a moment.

Cheng Li asked in a low voice, "When did you come back?"

"Not long ago," Rong Qi turned to look at her. The corners of her eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, which seemed to be caused by lack of sleep.

At this time, he should take the initiative to tell her and let her go back to rest early.

After a long time, Rong Qi whispered: "I'll ask the driver to take you back to rest. I'll just stay here for now."

Cheng Li looked at him alone.

The surrounding family members were gathered in twos and threes, and occasionally they could comfort each other and talk.

"I will accompany you," Cheng Li said softly, "I will go back after Grandma Xiang has been examined."

At around eight o'clock, Grandma Xiang's hospital bed was pushed out of the ICU.

Rong Qi immediately stood up and rushed over, looking at her weakly lying on the bed, and reached out to hold her hand.

"Grandma." He whispered.

Grandma Xiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, seemed to be conscious. Her eyelids moved slightly, as if she was trying hard to open her eyes.

"I'm here, don't open your eyes," Rong Qi said immediately.

The doctor saw this and said a few words.

So the group of people went to the floor where the inspection was done, and Cheng Li followed Rong Qi.

When the doctor wheeled the bed in, they were left outside again.

Cheng Li looked at him leaning against the wall, looking as lonely as he had ever seen before, and couldn't help but advise: "Don't be too anxious, grandma must be lucky."

Rong Qi suddenly turned his head when he heard this. Look at her.

His piercing eyes made Cheng Li almost think that she had said something wrong again.

"Do you know what I was thinking about on the way back?"

Cheng Li: "What?"

Rong Qi spoke again, in a particularly low voice: "I was thinking, if something happens to grandma, will I make her feel sorry? Leave. I always thought that there was still a lot of time, and I had enough time to take my time until she was satisfied. "

Cheng Li didn't understand his mood. The more times like this, the more regretful he would be.

"As long as you can make her wish come true."

Cheng Li comforted her.

"Cheng Li."

After this call, she looked up.

Rong Qi just stared at her like that. Unlike any other time before, the skylight from the window came in and fell into his dark eyes. The light in his eyes was so compelling.

"Do you want to marry me?"

When Cheng Li heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Immediately, her heart pounded in her chest, one beat louder than the next, and there was a buzzing in her ears.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go on a blind date with me?" Rong Qi said in a deep voice.

That's different.

Cheng Li said dryly: "I said it in a hot head at that time. Besides, a blind date is different from getting married..."

"That's it."

Rong Qi's voice interrupted what she wanted to say.

Then what?

Cheng Li slowly raised her head and saw that he was still walking in front of her.

The sounds of people in the corridor of the hospital seemed to disappear at this moment.

He was the only one left in front of her.

"Then, let your mind heat up for me again."

The author has something to say:

Let me see, who dares to say that this is not a book about marriage first and love later!

Rong Qi: Sorry, I love first and then get married.
