Spring Again

No matter how loud the movement outside, the Ye Family is still kind.

Ye Lizhao didn't care about those who didn't. He didn't care for a while. After sitting for a long time, he asked Ye Xiyan to accompany him for a walk, and make tea for his daughter in a good mood later.

The family was reunited, and they had a video call with their older brother and sister-in-law who were far away in Germany during the meal. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Ye Xiyan stayed at home for a long time and helped the old couple with work, taking care of the flower garden in the backyard, bringing the children, and then giving Meng Wendong a hearty massage of his neck and shoulders.

Meng Wendong asked Jiang Xu casually and said something ambiguous.

When they were invited to dinner that day, the people at the table were all getting along well. The old couple treated Jiang Xu well and were very satisfied with the identity of Jiang Xu’s friend, but after the two of them left, they still had a heart in mind. They had inquired privately. Fear that Ye Xiyan made friends accidentally. It's not like finding out everything like checking household registration, but simply understanding the situation.

Compared with the previous few days, Meng Wendong seems to have another idea, but he didn't say it directly in front of Ye Xiyan. Just let her go out and don't be careless, but pay more attention to the people and things around him.

Ye Xiyan pretended not to understand the deep meaning, and replied: "Don't think about it all day."

Meng Wendong said: "Just pay attention to yourself, and your dad and I can't control it. It will be annoying for you to take care of it."

"Why, it's not too annoying." Ye Xiyan defended, squeezing a few more quickly and appropriately.

Meng Wendong didn't say anything, and closed his eyes comfortably by leaning against the seat. Don't worry about this, but rest assured that his daughter can handle it by herself. When it was almost done, Meng Wendong asked again: "Where did you live recently?"

"It's everywhere," Ye Xiyan didn't tell the truth, "I have to go to Chen Jiangchao every day for physical training."

This person has more than one house in the South City. The small villa is just one of his residences. In addition, there are several apartments and commercial houses. There is also a large flat near the commercial center of the North District. She used to go out to live often, always staying at home, staying here for one day, there for one night, and more often in more convenient hotel suites.

The old couple took it for granted, and Meng Wendong was only concerned about it. He couldn't help but mumble about it, saying that the physical training is so hard that he can go home to live and be taken care of at home.

Ye Xiyan stalled in a few words, and said vaguely: "You and Dad finally came back. It's okay to relax and go out for a walk. Don't keep thinking about me. I'm so old and can take care of myself."

Meng Wendong pointed out: "You just don't want us to interfere with you."

"No." Ye Xiyan said.

"Thinking a lot, that's it when you get older," Meng Wendong replied softly, laughing helplessly, and patted the back of her hand, "I'm afraid we will interfere with you."

There is nothing that can't be said between the mother and daughter, these "complaints" are just said, no one will mind, let alone grievances caused by this.

Knowing that this is for her own good, although Ye Xiyan would not accept it, she would not refute too much. She was used to widening Meng Wendong's heart and skipping the topic lightly when she said something pleasant.

Originally, she wanted to test the attitude of the couple today and talk about her plans to stay in the country for development, but she stopped talking, feeling that the old couple should not be able to accept it, so she planned to slow down and plan to talk again later.

Ye Xiyan didn't leave the house until four o'clock in the afternoon.

At about the same time, in a conference room of the Second Hospital, more than a dozen doctors were sitting in a circle for a meeting. Zou Xing'ao and Zhang Xianming were all there, as well as Dr. Liu and Cai, and Jiang Xu who had just returned.

Jiang Xu was sitting at the back, the seat at hand was vacant, and one seat was the other deputy dean.

The meeting has been going on for more than half an hour, and the atmosphere is a bit heavy and depressing. Except for Zhang Xianming who is eloquently introducing, the others are very reticent, especially Jiang Xu. She barely speaks. She has remained silent since entering the door, long and thin. Holding the black pen between his fingers, he would tap the white paper in front of him from time to time, without writing or taking notes, just an unconscious movement.

Zhang Xianming glanced here, and Zou Xing'ao looked at her from time to time, even Lao Liu would turn his head to look at it, as if he could not understand her thoughts at this time, and was unpredictable.

A group of people have their own trade-offs, and each one is calculating.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the next research direction in my heart, to apply for a large project, and to select a suitable representative. Relevant meetings have been held more than once, and there is still no conclusion about who will be selected to chair this job, and it is impossible to decide.

Zou Xingyu wanted to push Zhang Xianming, and he also let another young and promising doctor in his camp be a candidate. The abacus was smashed, but the two vice-presidents who were opposed to him, as well as Liu Lao, both opposed them and elected. Other people.

The current situation is that neither side is regressing, and there has been a stalemate. Zou Xingyu's bad performance was too obvious, fearing that he would be caught when he was too biased, so he pretended to call everyone to vote for their opinions and discuss them.

It was just a moment for Jiang Xu to express her stance. Her position was very important. After all, it was one of the pillars in her heart, and she was the deputy dean.

"What do you think of Professor Jiang, you can talk about your thoughts." Zou Xing'ao said, pushing her directly.

Jiang Xu lifted his eyelids and looked at him. If his fingertips touched the tabletop, he didn't immediately answer. After a while, he slowly said: "Doctor He has just been very advanced in his insights and explanations on this project. He has good insight and sufficient preparations. A lot of work should have been done. He should be competent for this position and have the corresponding strength."

Dr. He is the one who introduced the candidate.

Having said that, he undoubtedly recognized Zou Xingyu's ideas and felt that Doctor He could be elected.

When these words came out, the faces of everyone present were different. Old Liu and the others all looked at her, one more silent than the other. Zhang Xianming's expression was complicated. Not only was he not reconciled to get the project, but also relieved, at least he chose to choose. To the people here.

Zou Xing'ao calmly asked, "Professor Jiang, does this recognize Doctor Who?"

Jiang Xu said: "I just think that Dr. He has the ability to lead the project, the current view is like this."

Zou Xing'ao fixedly looked at her, "So you also support Dr. He?"

Jiang Xu gathered the cap of the pen, but didn't answer this sentence, and asked, "What do you think the dean, what is your opinion?"

Zou Xing'ao pretended to be gentle, and was quite good at serving water, saying, "Dr. Ho and Dr. Xu are both very good, each has its own advantages."

Jiang Xu nodded, heard the words, followed the words: "Well, indeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Dr. Xu and asked, “I remember that Deputy Director Xu seemed to have been in contact with this research direction the year before last. He was following Dr. Percy’s team at that time, right?”

Deputy Director Xu replied: "Yes, I had contacted it in September of the previous year, and I went there to study for nearly a month."

Jiang Xu is not slow or tight, "You can talk about it in detail now."

Deputy Director Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood it, and immediately went through it in his mind, got up, and recounted the experience of the previous year in detail.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu would suddenly change his mouth, Zou Xing'ao's expression was slightly dark, and Zhang Xianming was also startled. The doctor He was dumbfounded for a moment. He originally thought Jiang Xu would choose himself.

Lao Liu and the others looked at each other without a trace, and took advantage of Deputy Director Xu's speech before connecting, saying that the candidate doctors were capable, but Deputy Director Xu was more experienced.

Zou Xing'ao can't talk

Jiang Xu said: "This research is not only being done by our hospital, but also by hospitals in S City and Beijing. I will also cooperate in conducting research at that time. Personally, I prefer experience first. Only with experience can I get started faster and save money. It’s a lot of trouble, and it’s faster. But we still have to consider it comprehensively and weigh all aspects. You can think about it again."

The words are all here, there is no conceivable thing, everyone's attitude is clear, and no one needs to speak clearly.

Zou Xing'ao looked at Shang Jiangxu with a calm gaze. He did not object, and was silent for a moment, while looking at Jiang Xu, while turning sideways to the vice-president sitting next to him, he said something.

Jiang Xu calmly put down the pen and pressed it on the white paper.

The meeting did not end until five o'clock, and a dozen people went out one after another.

Lao Liu and the others left first, followed by the doctor He and Zhang Xianming, who had an unpleasant face, and Jiang Xu and Zou Xingao who stayed in the meeting room last.

Jiang Xu went back to his office in no hurry, packed his things, put the pen in his pocket, and then walked out indifferently.

When approaching the door, Zou Xing'ao suddenly shouted, "Professor Jiang..."

Jiang Xu stopped, looked back, and calmly said, "What else is the dean?"

"No, just talk casually." Zou Xing'ao stood up and said, "Professor Jiang is free this weekend?"

Jiang Xu said: "There should be."

"That's good," Zou Xing'ao gradually approached, staring at her face when she was in front of her, "There is a symposium in Zhoutian City, you adjust the time, and then go with Director Zhang."

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Xu replied.

"You can bring two more interns in the department, just as exchange study," Zou Xingao smiled happily. "The location is in the east of the city, very close to the General Hospital of the Military Region. When it's over, you can just go there together. Look at Dr. Li."

Where Jiang Xu stood, the expression on his face did not change much.

"Going out for so long activities to help our hospital publicize, thank you for your hard work." Zou Xingyu's tone was calm, his voice was soft, and he seemed to be caring about people sincerely. He opened the door and raised his eyelids at this moment. To Jiang Xu, he said meaningfully, "Welcome back."

Jiang Xu remained unmoved, until the other party went out and walked far away, then cast his eyes down and looked back at the empty conference room.

The hospital on Friday is busier than Thursday, with more patients. After the meeting, I did other miscellaneous tasks, there were a lot of things to deal with, and I couldn't leave work on time.

Usually 5:30 is off work, Jiang Xu is busy until more than 7 o'clock, and it will be dark outside when he recovers. She changed her clothes before leaving, and happened to meet Lao Liu while waiting for the elevator.

At this time, there were only two people in the elevator, and it took less than half a minute from the third floor to the negative first floor.

Jiang Xu didn't take the initiative to greet people, and Mr. Liu didn't speak either. When the elevator door opened, the two sides went out one after another.

Lao Liu walked forward, two steps quickly, and approached the parking place. He noticed that there were no other people around, so he took out the key and drove the door and said, intentionally or unintentionally, "Dr. Li is awake."

Jiang Xu paused, his movements slowed down.

Lao Liu didn't turn around to look at her, and continued: "The call was made over there before, but his family informed this side."

Jiang Xu also took out the car key and pressed the unlock button. The white car not far away beeped twice. She still didn't say anything, and when she got in her car, she closed the car door, and then looked up at Lao Liu.

Liu Lao first drove away, but she didn't leave immediately, and sent a message to He Yuze in the car to inform him of the matter.

It's not too far from the hospital to the small villa in the North District. If there is no traffic jam, it will take about 20 minutes to drive, and you can go back before 8 o'clock.

There are many winding roads in this section, but only the middle section is slightly remote, and the other sections are basically located in open areas. During the rush hour, the roads are quite congested, and the cars are moving slowly, and they have to stop once every section of the road.

Jiang Xu drove patiently, thinking about something every time he was blocked, or looking at the road in the rearview mirror.

The section of road near the hospital was fine, it was not too badly blocked, and the remote section in the middle was barely congested. The section that just entered the North District was the most blocked and it was almost impossible to move.

There are many commercial streets in the North District, and there is bustling everywhere, especially at night, when there are many cars and people at night, it is very crowded.

As it was too fast, the car was forced to stop again at a block. Jiang Xu slowly waited for the crowd to evacuate, and when he could continue driving, he turned into a fork in the road, planning to take a shortcut back, otherwise it would be blocked again.

The shortcut is more biased, even more biased than the previous road. It is located behind the downtown area and needs to go through several alleys and turn around. Jiang Xu slowed down, and when he turned into the alley, he subconsciously glanced in the rearview mirror. By coincidence, he saw an unremarkable black Volkswagen behind him, not far away.

Jiang Xu could not help but look at it again and pay more attention when he encountered someone who took the same shortcut.

Maybe it's not a shortcut, just passing by here.

She controlled the speed of the car and moved forward slowly. When she left this alley, she turned into another dark road.

Behind, the black Volkswagen drove at a constant speed and also drove into this road, but did not follow it soon, deliberately keeping a distance, and will not find out if you are not careful.

Jiang Xu speeded up a little, and it didn't take long to make a detour again, not following the original route.

The black masses didn't follow, I don't know if it was a different road or the speed was too slow.

Jiang Xu hesitated for a moment, but did not drive directly towards the small villa, and then went around twice, and finally turned to the original line, and at a three-way intersection, he drove in the opposite direction, heading towards Ronghe Avenue and not going. Go to the cottage.

The road is still so congested, the endless stream of motorcades has become a long tail, the neon lights on both sides of the street are flickering, and the lights of all colors are bright.

The road near the community is relatively deserted, the whole street is sparse, and the street lights are bright.

Jiang Xu slowed down again and looked in the rearview mirror again.

The black public followed, more cautious than before, and farther away, making it harder to be detected.

Ye Xiyan called at this moment and the bell rang.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xu connected immediately.

"When will you be back?" Ye Xiyan asked, waiting at home for a long time.

"Still on the road," Jiang Xu said, driving into the community while answering the phone, "There's still something to do."

"I went home and brought some vegetables," Ye Xiyan said, in a soft tone, "I haven't eaten yet. Waiting for you to come back together."

"Come back later." Jiang Xu said.

There are security guards at the gate of the community, and foreign vehicles cannot enter casually.

She drove forward slowly, and did not immediately drive towards the nearest parking lot entrance. Instead, she circled a small half-circle on the wide field, planning to go in through another entrance and sway outside first.

——Poor signal under the parking lot, unable to answer the phone.

The black Volkswagen did not seem to be a foreign vehicle. It stopped at the stop for two or three seconds and was released in a short while.

It also didn't enter the nearest parking lot entrance, and still followed slowly behind.

Ye Xiyan asked on the phone, "What's the matter, the hospital is working overtime?"

"Well, it's a bit busy today." Jiang Xu said, closing and locking all the windows of the car, then pulled over and stopped, no longer away from the security booth.

It should have been unexpected that she would suddenly stop driving, and the black public also stopped, just a few steps away.

The night is full, and looking over there from this car, you can faintly see two tall men sitting in the car. Jiang Xu pretended to be stopping to make a call, and for a moment he narrowed his eyes and responded calmly.

The security guard was not far away. The two men didn't dare to mess around, as if they had discussed a countermeasure. Within a few seconds, they drove away again, but they didn't drive far, only a dozen meters, and finally parked in an empty parking space. .

They didn't get out of the car and couldn't see what they were doing.

Jiang Xu didn't get out of the car, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Ye Xiyan."

The person on the other end of the phone hummed, "I'm here."

Jiang Xu said, "Someone is following me, two men."

There was silence in the phone for a second.

"Where?" Ye Xiyan's voice sank two degrees, cautious and careful, before he was relaxed, and immediately changed.

Jiang Xu said lowly: "The place where I live is at the back door of the community."

The other party didn't panic, and said calmly: "Don't go to remote places, drive toward people's places."

Jiang Xu said: "There are people in the security booth, and they will change shifts in half an hour."

"Just stop there, I'll pick you up." Ye Xiyan said quietly.

Jiang Xu responded, "Okay."

"How much battery does the phone have?"

"More than half."

"Then don't hang up, just leave it on."

"Ok."

Ye Xiyan said: "Wait for me, don't get out of the car."

Jiang Xu nodded, "I know."

The man didn't talk about it anymore.

There was a rustling noise in the phone, and then a rustling wind, and soon there was a slap and the sound of closing the car door.
