On how to pursue a Buddhist teacher

"It stands to reason that this jade carving originally belonged to your Xu family." Qi Jin filled Xu Baibi's cup, made a gesture of invitation, picked up his own wine glass, drained it, and put the empty wine glass upside down on the table.

Seeing Xu Baibi also drank the wine in the glass, he continued, "But since it is an open auction, it is natural to follow the rules of the open auction." He squinted and smiled, "I hope Boss Xu will not blame you."

Xu Baibi's face remained calm, but he just smiled lightly, but he knew in his heart that since the other party deliberately asked him out to meet in advance, they must be prepared.

He didn't seem to care and said, "The public auction, the highest bidder wins, it should be taken for granted, so why blame it?"

Qi Jin laughed twice, "It seems that Boss Xu is full of confidence and is determined to win. It's just that the Wei family has also sent someone to bid for this auction. With Baibifang's current financial resources, it may be difficult to win."

Xu Baibi didn't speak,

Qi Jin continued, "Whether it's about the relationship between the Qi family and the Xu family, or the personal relationship between you and me, I should give you a favor."

"I really want to return this jade carving to Zhao, but it's a pity that I don't have a suitable name."

Although Qi Jin is also from a scholarly family, he is an authentic businessman with exposed ambitions, who likes to discuss business at the wine table. Unable to hold back, after a few words, seeing that Xu Baibi was unmoved, he began to get angry in his heart.

"I'm so focused on wishing I could give the jade carving to Baibifang for nothing, but I don't know what Boss Xu thinks?"

Xu Baibi unhurriedly picked up the water on the table, rinsed the wine glass from the inside to the outside, and poured a cup of green tea. Seeing that Qi Jin's face gradually became impatient, he said slowly,

"Boss Qi wants to find a suitable name, that is, he wants to deepen the cooperative relationship with Baibifang. I don't know what aspect Qi Shixing wants to cooperate with Baibifang."

……

It was past nine o'clock when Xu Baibi came out of the restaurant, the sky was so dark that no stars could be seen, but the skyscrapers and commercial buildings in this city were brightly lit and colorful, highlighting the seemingly never-ending hustle and bustle of the city , the song is full of joy, you come and go, and one desire after another is revealed between pushing the cup and changing the cup.

But as soon as he left the hotel, he received a text message that the auction was cancelled. Boss Qi was not interested in drinking. Now that the goal was achieved, he had to appease the other visitors. He simply changed the auction into a banquet. Xu Baibi took a few glances , Throwing the phone back into his pocket.

Qi Qin had a big appetite, so he wanted to join a big order in Baibifang. Qi Shihang was originally an antique shop, and its main business was calligraphy and painting. The jade carving in the town house of the Xu family, who lived outside, thought that he had grasped the soft persimmon of Baibifang, so he deliberately played such a trick to catch the turtle in the urn, and opened his mouth to Xu Baibi's lion.

Xu Baibi agreed. In terms of the current funds of Baibifang, the order was very reluctant. With the cooperation of the Qi family, the funding problem was solved, which can be regarded as mutual benefit and win-win.

What's more, Qi Qin generously returned the jade carving to him and returned it to Zhao, he should be happy.

It's just that there is no joy on his face. Since running Baibifang, he has long been accustomed to these hypocrisy and intrigues in the shopping malls. It was all thanks to Xu Baibi, but he never felt joyful about it.

Compared with his career, Baibifang is more like his responsibility, he bears it all day long, and makes him do his best.

Occasionally, Xu Baibi even hated his own success. Even though he would still change into plain clothes, he would still copy Buddhist scriptures in his spare time, and go to the temple on the second day of every month. However, he knew that he was already a sophisticated and good at People who play tricks on people's hearts.

He hated himself for being like this, so looking at Qi Liang, he felt even more despicable and cowardly.

But he doesn't intend to change, he doesn't care about tricks, as long as Qi Liang doesn't know, as long as he is the same Xu Baibi from before in Qi Liang's eyes.

Xu Baibi took out his mobile phone and made a call.

……

People come and go in the hospital, beds are scarcer than Chinese sturgeon, and more expensive than school district rooms, Mr. Qi is nestled alone in the corridor of the ward, with a notebook on his lap, while preparing materials for the parent meeting, he is distractedly staring at Ge Xunyu .

The hospital said that for 48 hours, even if the critical period passed, the old man could be transferred back to the general ward tomorrow, but no one dared to guarantee that the old man would still wake up.

"At this age, I have walked through the gate of hell for several times, but I can survive without any danger. Whether it is fate or fate, no one can tell."

Ge Xunyu is very obedient, he should eat and eat, and he will sleep if he is asked to sleep, but he doesn't talk, he doesn't say a word, no one knows what he is thinking.

Qi Liang was afraid that the child would be uncomfortable, and even more afraid that the child would get sick if he couldn't think about it. It's a pity that Teacher Qi never showed empathy and understanding sister's skills, which are of no use to the current situation.

He closed the notebook and looked at the child's back with a sad face. At this moment, the phone rang. He glanced at it and answered it quickly.

Xu Baibi didn't expect the other party to answer the phone so quickly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Is Xun Yu okay?"

"What's the matter?" Qi Liang pinched his brows worriedly, and walked to a secluded place, "I haven't spoken all day, I really don't know how to comfort people"

"Do you want to find a psychiatrist to enlighten you?"

Xu Baibi was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll be back tomorrow."

"So fast, didn't you say that the matter would take two days to resolve?"

"It's been resolved. Take care of him for another night, and I'll be back tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Liang was still thinking about it. Xu Baibi seemed to be really worried about the kid, so he came back a day early.

When Xu Baibi came back the next day, the old man had already been transferred to the general ward.

Teacher Qi stayed in the hospital for two days, and he looked a little sick. He was still yawning when he cleaned up the old man's cabinet. He glanced at Ge Xunyu next to him,

"Hey, aren't you sleepy?" The latter shook his head.

"Young is good." Teacher Qi yawned again.

Qi Liang bought some daily necessities from a nearby supermarket. Two large water bottles, one red and one green, stood on the cabinet, which stood out in the white ward.

Xu Baibi took the water bottle from behind,

"Let me do it."

Qi Liang turned around, rubbed his eyes in surprise and said, "You're back."

This man was unshaven, unkempt, and the two groups of blue eyes were very obvious, like a national treasure that slipped out of a zoo.

Xu Baibi came to the hospital as soon as he got off the plane. The situation was not very good, but he frowned and took a look at Qi Liang.

"Go back and rest first"

Teacher Qi knew that his image must not be good now, thinking that Xu Baibi probably disliked him, so he nodded, "OK, I'll go back first."

Teacher Qi walked neatly, but on the way home, he realized that he felt uneasy. He had never seen such a person who killed the donkey. He smelled the smell on his body, and it was all smoked from the hospital. The smell of disinfectant.

Forget it, don't care about cleanliness.

Qi Liang went home and took a shower first, then started to rummage through the box, halfway through the rummaging, he freed up his right hand to make a phone call.

Xia Xiaomeng didn't have to go to work today, but a new nurse at the clinic had something to do temporarily, so she took over the shift, but there were a lot of patients today, and she was too busy taking IV drips to take medicine.

The cell phone was lying alone on the counter, ringing and ringing.

An old lady taking medicine said, "Girl, if you don't answer the phone, your boyfriend should be in a hurry."

Xia Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment, and then realized when she saw the phone.

He smiled and explained "I'm not a boyfriend, I'm single" and then answered the phone.

"what happened?"

Qi Liang emptied the cabinet but found nothing, so he stood up, "Do me a favor and introduce a reliable nurse."

Xia Xiaomeng had a patient waiting for the needle to be removed, so she hurriedly agreed and said to Qi Liang, "I'll send you the contact information."

Not long after, Qi Liang received Xia Xiaomeng's WeChat and contacted the nurse on the phone number above.

After doing all this, he felt that he was really nosy, not a relative, not a friend, and Ge Xunyu was not even his student, and he was not enough to accompany him for two days, so he hastily arranged for a nurse.

Teacher Qi sighed, and when he met Xu Baibi, he was so cheap and resigned to his fate.

In the past two days, he pieced together Xu Baibi's life for these years from Ge Xunyu's few words.

After the Xu family went bankrupt and the head of the Xu family committed suicide with his wife, Xu Baibi took his nephew Xu Wang around to open a new jade shop to make a living.

Ge Xunyu's grandfather is the old man of Xu's jade family. After the Xu family went bankrupt, he also helped Xu Baibi a lot, so Xu Baibi took care of him in this way. Presumably he and Xu Wang depended on each other, and probably regarded the old man and Ge Xunyu as relatives.

After inquiring about this, Qi Liang felt very uncomfortable.

What a proud person Xu Baibi is, he has never bowed his head to anyone. When he suffered hardships in the Northwest, he thought that this person must be leisurely and leisurely, but now he knows that life is not easy, and he did not let Xu Baibi go.

After the family broke up and died, I took my naive nephew to start the family business again, and I don't need to think about the hardships.

Everyone in the world is suffering, but Xu Baibi is suffering, which makes Qi Liang especially unbearable. Depression and helplessness come one after another, mixed feelings and five flavors.

Probably, in the end, he once regarded Xu Baibi as a treasure, so he couldn't see the pearl covered in dust, and he couldn't see the fairy descend to the mortal world.
