Chapter 172 Gossip

I don't know whether it was because of the sudden drop in temperature, or because Jiang Qi didn't close the window when he went to bed at night, or because he simply caught a cold due to lack of clothing. Jiang Qi started to have a fever the next day after taking the test.

Jiang Qi began to notice something was wrong with his body when he woke up in the morning. His head was dizzy, his throat was red and swollen, and his throat was hoarse. He obviously had a cold.

For safety reasons, Jiang Qi found the thermometer that had been dusty in the cabinet for a long time.

One measurement, 38.2℃.

It has reached the standard of going to the community hospital for saline treatment.

Jiang Bing also woke up. When he heard some movement outside, he went out to take a look in his pajamas without combing his hair. He found Jiang Qi holding a thermometer in his hand.

"Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"38.2℃." Jiang Qi showed the thermometer to Jiang Bing.

Jiang Bing, whose eyes were still swollen after crying all night yesterday, was shocked. He took the thermometer to confirm, and grabbed Jiang Qi to go to the community hospital outside the community.

"Sister, you are wearing pajamas." Jiang Qi reminded.

Jiang Bing was stunned, returned to the house and changed clothes at the speed of light in two minutes, grabbed two handfuls of hair to make the hairstyle barely visible, and dragged Jiang Qi to the community hospital.

The community hospital at the entrance of the community has been here since Jiang Qi was in elementary school. Usually, if a nearby resident has a headache or fever and is too lazy to go to a big hospital, he will come here to prescribe some medicine and give a couple of injections.

Jiang Qi and Jiang Bing have been receiving salt water in this community hospital since they were young. There are only two doctors in the hospital, who take turns on duty. The doctor on duty today is Dr. Zhao, and Jiang Qi recognizes him.

It's a pity that Dr. Zhao doesn't know Jiang Qi. After all, Jiang Qi has never had an illness that required him to go to the hospital since high school. He hasn't been to a community hospital for many years. If a doctor can recognize him, it's a ghost.

There were no patients in the community hospital at around 8 a.m., and the only nurses had just arrived with half-knitted sweaters in their hands. Dr. Zhao briefly examined Jiang Qi, measured his temperature, and concluded that it was normal to have a cold or fever.

"Should it be an injection or medicine?" Dr. Zhao asked.

"Let's take the injection. How many days will it take?" Jiang Qi said.

"About three days."

"Doctor, how long will my brother's dialysis injection take today?" Jiang Bing asked.

"Two bottles of the big one and two bottles of the small one. If it's quick, it will take two or three hours." Dr. Zhao said.

"Then you can get the injection here. I'm going to Uncle Huang's place for breakfast first. Uncle Huang sent a message asking me to come up." Jiang Bing only had food in mind. "If you get cold sitting here, tell me and I'll give it to you from home." Bring a thick coat over here."

"Okay sister."

Jiang Qi watched Jiang Bing go back, and Doctor Zhao said with a smile: "You and your sister have a pretty good relationship. Usually mothers bring their children for injections. It's rare for a sister to bring her younger brother for injections." .”

Jiang Qi also felt that he and Jiang Bing had maintained a good sibling relationship over the years. What Jiang Bing said on the day he came back whether he should call 120 after his parents chopped off his hand must be an exaggerated lie.

Based on their brother-sister relationship, they definitely have to give 120!

As for whether he will stop his parents from cutting it, I don’t know for sure.

.

Since he had to take injections for three days, Jiang Qi happily decided to give himself three days off. At this time, the benefits of being a boss come to the fore. Social workers may have to worry about having their wages and attendance deducted for taking sick leave, but bosses don’t have this worry.

The nurse who came to work with a half-knitted sweater gave Jiang Qi an injection very efficiently, and thoughtfully handed him the TV remote control so that he could watch whatever he wanted.

Jiang Qi didn't have much choice. He didn't have a membership to the hospital's TV or video app, so all the dramas he was watching recently required membership. Jiang Qi could only choose a crime-themed movie that didn't require membership and started watching it.

The nurse sat next to Jiang Qi, occupying a prime spot for watching movies, knitting sweaters and watching movies. From time to time, she would chat with Dr. Zhao about vegetable prices, children's schools and other daily gossip.

While chatting, the nurse and Dr. Zhao talked about the script.

"Xiao Zhen, I remember that your brother seems to have opened a script killing shop, right?" Dr. Zhao, who had been chatting while looking at his mobile phone, suddenly said.

"Yes, it was opened last year and has been open for more than a year. At first, I thought he was just looking at which industry to make money and then opened a shop to mess around. It's not like you don't know what kind of nonsense he does. I saw a milk tea shop making money. I just opened a milk tea shop, and then I opened an internet celebrity instant noodle shop because of the popularity of the internet celebrity instant noodle shop. The private movie theater that I opened two years ago lost a lot of money. When he opened a script-killing store, he wanted to borrow money from me. Without lending it to him, I only have 3,000 yuan this month. How can I have money for him to mess around with?" Nurse Zhen spoke quickly and knitted her sweaters quickly. She was obviously a veteran.

"Why do I remember that you said before that the new store opened by your brother made a lot of money?"

"He's just unlucky." Nurse Zhen disparaged her brother without any mercy. "I went home last week and heard my mother say that his store's business is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Recently. It seems that business has not been doing well for a few months, and he is thinking about organizing a competition or something, soliciting sponsorships from everywhere, and I don’t know what he is doing.”

"Dr. Zhao, why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

"Didn't I read a news just now? It seems to be from our city. The leader of the human trafficker gang was arrested in a script killing shop in our city 10 years ago. The news was unclear. I remember your brother seemed to I’m in this business, and I wanted to ask you if you know what’s going on.”

"This news seems to have been last month, right? You only know it now?" Nurse Zhen looked down at the pins, "The store seems to be called something like a river. My cousin went to play there, and she wanted to ask me to come with her before. Go. I am a person in my 30s who will soon go to elementary school. How can I have spare money to play with this?"

Jiang Qi was a little groggy due to a cold and fever. He couldn't watch a movie with a monotonous and boring plot. He didn't want to look at his phone. He kept watching the movie while listening to Nurse Zhen and Dr. Zhao chatting.

Originally, he thought he could hear the inside stories and melons of other script shops, but he didn't expect that the two people's chatting ended with him.

"Nurse Zhen, what's the name of the script killing shop your brother runs?" Jiang Qi decided to bring the topic back.

Nurse Zhen didn't think much about it, thinking that Jiang Qi was just curious and asked casually, and said, "If I remember correctly, it should be a script interpretation shop called "Detective Mind", which is located over in the central square. I heard from my brother that there is a shopping mall there. There are seven or eight script stores in the circle.”

Don’t change your mind?

Why have you heard of this store somewhere?

Jiang Qi took out his mobile phone and started searching.

"Do you usually play script killing?" Nurse Zhen asked.

"I've played it several times." Jiang Qi answered honestly.

The search results came out.

Jiang Qi has definitely never been to this store, but the address of this store is very familiar to Jiang Qi, the store next to him.

Combined with the fact that Nurse Zhen's surname is Zhen, her brother's surname will most likely also be Zhen...

Isn't this a coincidence?

JC’s rival shop!

"What kind of competition are you talking about just now?" Jiang Qi tried to find out.

Originally, he thought he was just listening to gossip and eating something, but he didn't expect that he would eat something big.

Nurse Zhen said: "I don't know. I heard it mentioned casually by my brother during the National Day. He said he wanted to hold a script competition or something, and he also asked me to help him promote it when the competition is done. Now it is probably It’s not done yet, and I haven’t been asked to help promote it.”

Nurse Zhen couldn't understand, and Jiang Qi couldn't understand either. He had only heard of organizing exhibitions, but he had never heard that screenplay developers could also organize competitions.

It seems that he is ignorant.

You have to ask Yan Huaiyou to find out what the competition is.

With this in mind, Jiang Qi took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yan Huaiyou.

Yan Huaiyou replied as soon as the message was sent, but the reply was also a question.

Yan Huaiyou: I remember Jiang Qi that you said before that you wanted to rent another store nearby to expand, right? The front of Saibang Cafe is going to be sublet. If you are interested, I will help you contact their boss.

Saibang Cafe is the cafe where Jiang Qi and Fang Jing discussed a big team building deal. It is on the street near the alley, very close to Galaxy Script Club, and only takes about five minutes to walk.

Jiang Qi remembers that the cafe was quite big, with an upper and lower floor of about 300 to 400 square meters. The decoration was relatively simple and there were no partitions. If the deal is approved, the entire store will have to be renovated and additional partitions will be built, both on the first and second floors. Jiang Qi does not need a lobby to open a branch, it will just be a single room.

Preliminary estimates suggest that the renovation will cost 20-30w, and the rent of this store is not cheap either.

The money on Jiang Qi's card now, after paying his salary and paying off Jiang Bing's money, would be good to have ten thousand or twenty thousand.

Although the money is only a small amount, this store is really good.

You can't find it by chance, this is not a shabby shop like a braised food shop. Saibang Cafe has been open for many years, and the business has been good or bad, so it can be regarded as an old shop.

Jiang Qi: Why did that cafe suddenly need to be sublet? I remember that they have been open for some years. Is it the boss’s personal reasons?

Yan Huaiyou's side kept showing that it was typing, and it took almost a minute for the message to be sent.

Yan Huaiyou: ...It shouldn’t be the boss’s personal reasons

Jiang Qi:? why?

Yan Huaiyou: If I guess correctly

Yan Huaiyou: In all likelihood, my store has taken away all the business in the past few months, and the boss can no longer open it.

Yan Huaiyou: Of course, it’s also possible that he stopped driving out of anger.

Jiang Qi, holding a mobile phone:? ? ?

C.C took away the coffee shop’s business and made it so crowded that it couldn’t continue to operate? ? ?

This is even more outrageous than Galaxy Script Club’s signature braised food, vegetable noodles and colorful ropes.

Second update during the day
