When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Qin Zhao brought up the topic of Zhou Hongyang, firstly, he wanted to test whether Ning Ying would tell him the truth, and secondly, he wanted to know how much feelings Ning Ying had for Zhou Hongyang, whether it was a mixture of love and hate, or full of hatred.

Ning Ying raised her eyes and looked at him: "You want to ask if the injured person is familiar with me, then do you have any personal grudges with the injured person?"

The two smart people were playing a game of charades, and she took the opportunity to kick the ball back.

It seemed that she didn't want to reveal the truth, so he could only pretend to be confused: "Not that I know him well, but we have fought each other in the ring. Because his loss was so special, I have a deep impression of this name."

Thinking of the tape recording, Ning Ying smiled and said, "It was indeed quite special, but I didn't know him well. At the time, I thought he wanted to peek at me while I was using the toilet, so I hit him with a brick. Who knew he would end up falling into the toilet himself?"

She had her reasons for hiding the truth from him. Qin Zhao didn't make a fuss about it. Instead, when he saw her face full of hatred and relief when she talked about Zhou Hongyang, he suddenly felt relieved and at ease.

"Then he's pretty unlucky."

"Yes, when you see him, please apologize to him for me."

"Okay." He estimated that she would return to Rose City after finishing the business, and couldn't help asking, "When will you and Gu Jin go back?"

"Let's do it tomorrow morning. Gu Jin doesn't have enough snake venom ointment. The pharmaceutical factory has to work overtime. I have to go and keep an eye on it."

She had mixed the medicinal materials in proportion and sent them over. She estimated that the pharmaceutical factory had run out of stock and could not start work or deliver the goods without her, so she had to hurry back.

Qin Zhao's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness: "Then I may not have time to see you off."

Ning Ying extended her hand to him generously: "It's okay, we'll see each other later."

Qin Zhao's big palm wrapped around her small hand, slowly clenched it, and did not let go for a long time.

"Qin Zhao?"

He wisely let go of her hand and smiled at her handsomely, as if his reluctance just now was just Ning Ying's illusion: "See you later, be careful on the road."

When he was about to get in the car, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Ning Ying, did you forget something?"

Ning Ying suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to return the gift to Qin Zhao, and immediately felt guilty: "I'm sorry, the gift was lost, and I can't return it. How about you figure out how much it is, and I'll give you the money."

Ning Ying regretted it as soon as she said it. The gold chain can be converted into money, but the collar flower was earned by Qin Zhao with his blood and sweat, and it cannot be bought with money.

She immediately added, "I'm really sorry."

Qin Zhao was holding his breath because he was rejected for the first time in his life, and said stubbornly: "It's yours originally, but you don't want it, so you should return it."

"I really... don't know where I lost it."

"Comrade Ning, didn't your teacher teach you that if you lose someone's things, you have to return them?"

Ning Ying was a little confused: "Ah? Indeed... that's the truth."

"Then you can just give me the same."

"..." What he said seemed to make sense, but Ning Ying felt that something was wrong.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement. As for what gift you want to give me in return, go back and think about it carefully."

Sheng Gang, who was sitting in the driving seat, almost couldn't hold back his tears. Qin Zhao was really awesome. He was so tough even when asking for a token of love from others. He was indeed a real man.

After the car left, Ning Ying stood there for a while before returning to the hall.

This trip was quite a loss for her. She lost the gift and had to bear a debt for nothing.

Seeing that Gu Jin still had a stiff smile on his face, he immediately walked over and gave him a few injections in the back of his neck.

Gu Jin rubbed his sore face and complained: "Sister Yingzi, are you and sister... Brother Zhao teaming up to trick me? And you're donating it for free, then won't it cost me all the money to buy coffins for eighteen generations of my Gu family?"

Ning Ying patted him on the head and said, "Jin Zi, think about it. Once this report is published, the reputation of our snake venom ointment will be spread for free. In this way, it will have a mass base, and it is officially certified. All the major drugstores and clinics in Shaanxi City will rush to buy our products. Don't even mention the cost of your coffin. Your wife's money will be multiplied several times."

"Really...really?"

Ning Ying continued to paint a rosy picture for him: "Just think about it, if our reputation spreads, partners will come to us uninvited, and sales will go up. Then we can set up our own pharmaceutical factory and recruit pharmaceutical dealers from all over the country. By then, we will have branches all over the country, and you can afford a Rolls-Royce, even a bicycle."

Gu Jin was suddenly filled with laughter as he imagined the future. Ning Ying saw that he had been fooled, so she struck while the iron was hot: "Let's go back to Meicheng tomorrow morning and bring the prepared herbs over as soon as possible so that my cousin can start working earlier."

"Sister Yingzi, just wait and see. I'll be responsible for monitoring the progress of preparing the medicinal materials. When you leave tomorrow, just let me know and I'll carry your suitcases!"

What his father said was absolutely right. Sister Yingzi was someone who could do great things, so it was definitely right to follow her. Moreover, he had already considered Qin Zhao to be one of his own, so naturally he also considered him to be Ning Ying's backer.

While having dinner in the cafeteria, Ning Ying saw a fellow villager holding a carving knife, carving the jade in his hand. Ning Ying walked closer and saw that he was carving a jade cicada, which was very lifelike.

The jade cicada has a good meaning, it means making a stunning debut and rising to the top. It is the perfect gift for Qin Zhao.

Ning Ying immediately said enthusiastically: "Uncle, can you sell this little thing to me?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "No, this is a gift for my eldest grandson. He will take the college entrance examination next year."

Ning Ying hardened her heart: "Uncle, I'll give you money, one thousand yuan!"

The old man seemed to be afraid that she would snatch it away by force, so he quickly put the unfinished jade cicada in his pocket, but he was tempted by the one thousand yuan and said, "Little girl, do you want to give it to your sweetheart?"

"No, just a friend."

The old man thought she was too shy to admit it, so he took out another jade carving from his bag and said, "Take a look at this. This is Luonan Jade, which is unique to Shaanxi. It has a lily carved on it, which means a happy marriage and a happy love. It's the perfect gift for your loved one."

Ning Ying took the small object in her hand and examined it carefully, and was impressed by how the old craftsman had skillfully used the color of jade to make the carved branches curl and stretch freely, which was truly a top-notch product.

He didn't even hear what the old man said. He just slammed a thousand yuan on the table, took the jade and left.

She thought that the value of this jade carving was enough to offset the value of the gold collar Qin Zhao gave her, so that they would not owe each other anything.

It was still raining heavily in Shaanxi City. Thanks to Qin Zhao's care, Ning Ying and Gu Jin took a military vehicle to the train station.

Even though they were wearing raincoats, they were still soaked. As soon as Ning Ying sat down, Gu Jin poked her: "Sister Yingzi, do you think that man looks like Brother Zhao?"
