Chapter 219: Sick
In the blink of an eye, it has entered December again. The weather is already very cold, and this time of year is the time of winter snowfall. But I don't know why, the first snow of the year hasn't come down yet.
Wearing a thick coat and exhaling white air, I hurried to the office. When I rushed to the company building, I quickly took out my phone and looked at the time. Fortunately, it was only nine o'clock in six minutes, and I was not late.
At about five o'clock this morning, my sister suddenly called and said that Liang Liang had a high fever and asked me to rush over to help send him to the hospital for treatment. I was taken aback when I heard this, knowing that my brother-in-law was not at home on a business trip for the past two days, and my sister alone would definitely be in a hurry to send the child to the hospital. So, I didn't say a word, so I quickly got up and took a taxi and went straight to my sister's house, hugged my nephew Liangliang, and rushed to the hospital with my sister to see a doctor.
The child's illness was not serious, but it was just a high fever caused by wind chills and inflammation of the tonsils. In this cold weather, it is easy to get sick. The child didn't know how to heat and cold, so he sweated outside and came back and took off two clothes, and he caught a cold.
Small children have a high fever, and the temperature is generally very high. The doctor measured it with the anal surface, good fellow, thirty-nine degrees five, frightened my sister pale, wanted to cry without tears, and kept complaining that she didn't take good care of the child. But this high fever comes and goes quickly. After hanging two bottles of medicine, it was basically withdrawn. By the time my mother took care of Yingying and rushed to the hospital, the child's condition was already under control.
However, this busyness almost caused me to be late for work in the morning. After returning from the hospital with the child, I asked my mother to stay and take care of Liangliang with my sister, and I rushed directly to work.
Upon entering the building, I gasped for breath and quickened my pace to the elevator. At this time, most of the companies in the building, and most of the people who should come to work. There were very few people waiting for the elevator downstairs, and only one person was standing in front of the doors of the two elevators.
At first, I didn't pay attention to who the person waiting for the elevator was, but when I walked behind her and saw her familiar back, I suddenly realized that she was Tang Xiaoru, the boss of my company.
Now, I'm a little embarrassed. Although I'm not late, this time, the relationship between me and Tang Xiaoru is really not what it used to be. It's not that she's deliberately indifferent to me, but the intimacy she had had long since disappeared. Bland, at best, is the relationship between ordinary bosses and employees.
When I saw her standing in front of the elevator, I didn't know whether to say hello to her or not. After hesitating for a moment, Suo didn't say a word, and stood silently behind her.
The elevator hadn't come down yet, and I looked up and saw that the display light at the moment also indicated that the elevator was on the seventh floor. Tang Xiaoru didn't seem to notice that I was standing behind her, just standing quietly facing the elevator door. Suddenly, I saw her shrug her shoulders and cough softly, and then immediately raised her left hand to cover her mouth.
My heart moved, and I said without thinking about it: "Mr. Tang? ”
Hearing my voice, Tang Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned her head. I saw her left hand circled around her mouth and nose, and her expression seemed to be patient. His face was a little haggard, and he looked in poor spirits.
Seeing that it was me, Tang Xiaoru's eyes blinked, nodded slightly to me, put down her left hand, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Morning!" ”
I looked at her face carefully, and said with some concern: "Mr. Tang, your face is not very good, are you sick?" ”
Although my relationship with her is not as close as before, in my heart, Tang Xiaoru is still my friend. Besides, even if I am no longer a friend, as a subordinate, I should care about greeting the boss, so I didn't think much about it, and asked directly.
Tang Xiaoru didn't speak, just glanced at me silently, and then turned her face back. I thought she didn't want to pay attention to me, but I heard her say lightly: "Dai Yong, you have always come to work early, why are you so late today?" ”
I hurriedly picked up my phone and looked at the time again, and found that there were still five minutes before nine o'clock, so I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, my sister's child suddenly had a high fever in the morning, and I rushed to the hospital to help, so I was a little late." ”
"Oh? Is it? How's that kid? ”
I said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of a cold that causes inflammation in the tonsils." I hung up two bottles of medicine, and the fever had subsided. ”
Speaking of which, the elevator had already gone down to the first floor, and after a ding, the door slowly opened. Tang Xiaoru walked into the elevator, just turned around, and suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, and then coughed lightly.
At this time, I also realized that Tang Xiaoru was really sick, so I hurriedly walked into the elevator and said with concern: "Mr. Tang, it doesn't matter to you, right?" If not, go to the hospital. ”
Tang Xiaoru held back her cough, shook her hand at me, and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little cold, don't worry about it so much." ”
The elevator door closed again, and I quickly pressed the sixth floor button. It's just that Tang Xiaoru didn't pay much attention to my concern, so I had to keep my mouth shut. The elevator went up slowly, and Tang Xiaoru didn't continue to talk to me. After a while, when she reached the sixth floor, as soon as the door opened, she went out first.
Looking at her back as she hurried away, I sighed deeply in my heart. Once upon a time, she and I were so close and good friends. Even some of their own ** can be honest. But now...... Alas!
My heart was filled with a faint melancholy, and after a while of sighing, I walked to my office and started my day's work. In the afternoon, because there was an order budget that needed Tang Xiaoru's signature, I took the list and came to the door of the general manager's office.
He was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, but a violent cough came from inside. My heart tightened, thinking that Tang Xiaoru's illness was so serious, why was she still working and didn't go to the hospital to see?
I was even more worried, so I hurriedly raised my hand and knocked on the door, shouting: "Mr. Tang, I'm Dai Yong!" ”
The coughing sound inside suddenly stopped, and then Tang Xiaoru's even hoarse voice came: "Come in!" ”
I pushed the door open and went in and saw Tang Xiaoru sitting behind a desk with a pile of thick materials in front of her. Her face seemed to be worse, and her already fair cheeks were even paler at the moment.
I felt distressed for no reason, hurriedly walked up two steps, and said, "Mr. Tang, your face is so bad, I still think it's ......."
Before I could finish speaking, Tang Xiaoru raised her hand and made a gesture to stop me from continuing. Then he looked at me and said calmly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
I could only stop depressedly, sigh in my heart, and then pick up the list in my hand and handed it over: "Oh, that's right, here's a budget for this month's office supplies, you can take a look, if there is no problem, sign it." ”
Tang Xiaoru hummed, reached out to take it, and put it on the table to look at it carefully. After a while, she nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, I think it's okay!" ”
As she spoke, she picked up a pen, swiped her name on the slip, and handed it back to me. As soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw her suddenly raise her other hand, cover it over her mouth, and turn her head to cough violently. Later, she sat down in the chair and bent down, and her whole face turned red from the exertion.
I was suddenly shocked and angry, what is this Tang Xiaoru doing? You're sick like this, what are you doing here? No way! Whether she wants to or not, she has to go to the hospital immediately!
