Chapter 883: You Guys Always Run into This President Song?
The doctor stifled his laughter. After a long while, he said, “You’re a medical student yourself. You know that it’s not a problem to be pregnant while working. You just need to pay attention to your daily routine.”
“I’m just a student. I don’t have the qualifications for that job,” Mu Qiqi said.
The doctor did not say anything else and did not give any instructions on what to take note of. Afterall, Sheng Xiao had Fifth Aunt who was really good at adjusting her diet.
Seeing Mu Qiqi’s eager look, Sheng Xiao remained silent.
When the two of them got into the car and went home, Sheng Xiao said, “If you want, you can continue to be Professor Tang’s a.s.sistant. I only have one condition. You can’t be out in the field.”
Mu Qiqi knew that this was the biggest concession Master Xiao had ever made.
In fact, the most important reason was because he knew that her ambition was not being at home.
To lock her up at home for eight more months… Just thinking about it was torture. His heart ached.
“Forget it, it’s only eight months. It’ll be over after a while.” Mu Qiqi refused. “You don’t have to worry about my feelings because of these things. I really want to give birth to a baby for you. I really feel sorry for this child.”
“Moreover, I’m a student who’s suspended from school. What qualifications do I have?”
“No one is more qualified than you…”
After hearing this, Mu Qiqi could not help but laugh. “Master Xiao, tell me, why do you fancy such a weirdo like me? I’m only qualified because I’m in your heart.”
“What’s so bad about the person I’ve taught?”
Looking at Sheng Xiao’s haughty expression, Mu Qiqi knew that even though he was thirty years old, she would occasionally see the shadow of a twenty-six-year-old.
After returning home, Mu Qiqi did not take this matter to heart, but Sheng Xiao did.
That night, after Mu Qiqi had fallen asleep, Sheng Xiao gave Tang Yan a call. Mu Qiqi was now in an awkward position, what with being pregnant and having Sheng Xiao as her backer, the bureau would not accept her no matter what. But, Tang Yan appreciated Mu Qiqi’s sensitivity to investigating cases, so he still tried to appeal to the chief.
“In the past, she was a student in the forensic medicine department. She came here as an intern to be an a.s.sistant, so she could make a name for herself. Now that she’s out of school and pregnant, no matter how short staffed our branch is, we don’t need her. Tang Yan, don’t make trouble for yourself,” the chief said to him.
“Mu Qiqi was born to be a forensic doctor. She should be a criminal investigator. You’ve seen how sensitive she is when it comes to solving cases. Chief, Mu Qiqi has helped us solve a lot of cases before this. She’ll only be here to help Professor Tang. She won’t go out into the field or partic.i.p.ate in the discussion of cases. Isn’t that okay?”
The chief looked at Tang Yan and finally sighed. “If anything happens, I’ll see how you’ll answer to Sheng Xiao.”
“Thank you, Chief.”
After being hospitalized for so long, the first thing Tang Yan did when he returned to the team was to talk to the chief about Mu Qiqi.
He was not a selfish person. Otherwise, he could have arranged for Feng Shanshan to join the team as well, but he did not do so.
The chief knew that Mu Qiqi was a talented person and hoped that she would work in the branch office in the future.
He would just turn a blind eye to this matter.

Lin Mu’an had set aside time for this weekend to bring Lu Qianqian back to the Lin family as soon as possible to resolve the misunderstanding between Lu Qianqian and the old man.
Lu Qianqian suddenly got up from her office chair when she saw the time. “Are you in such a hurry?”
“It’s been so long, why are you still in such a hurry?” Lin Mu’an laughed over the phone. “Could it be that you’re nervous because you’re the ugly daughter-in-law about to meet your in-laws?”
“You’re the ugly daughter-in-law,” Lu Qianqian scolded anxiously. “I’m just… afraid that your grandfather doesn’t like me. We’ve had such a deep misunderstanding before.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s best if he admits it, but… it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t, because I’m the one who’s going to spend the rest of my life with you, not him.”
“Even so, I still hope to get your grandfather’s blessing.”
“Don’t worry. Agreeing to let me bring you home is as much face as he can give. He’s a little old-fas.h.i.+oned, but he still keeps his promise. I know him.”
“Then, I’ll make preparations.” Lu Qianqian covered her burning ears. It wasn’t the day yet, but she was so excited. “Oh right, I’m going to London again tomorrow. It’s not about your mother, but the Lu Corporation.”
“Be careful. Don’t cause any more trouble. My Little Chili, I don’t want to go to London to save you a second time.”
“I won’t. I’ll bring Vice President Qin along.”
After saying that, the two of them ended the call. Then, they got the little a.s.sistant to book tickets for three people.
The next day, the three of them departed from Jianchuan Airport. However, when they pa.s.sed through the security check, Vice President Qin saw Song Bozhi not far away.
“I didn’t expect to see him here.”
Following Vice President Qin’s line of sight, Lu Qianqian saw Song Bozhi. She recalled there having been a small incident between her and this insufferably arrogant man.
“President Sheng probably doesn’t like the Song family,” Lu Qianqian said.
“How would President Sheng have the time to pay attention to the Song family every day?” Vice President Qin expressed her disapproval.
Soon, Lu Qianqian put this episode to the back of her mind. However, she didn’t expect that after that, they would sit together in first cla.s.s.
Song Bozhi didn’t seem to remember her, nor did he greet her. The group of people arrived in London peacefully.
However, when they got off the plane, Song Bozhi seemed to have suddenly regained his memory of her. He walked up to Lu Qianqian and said, “We meet again, Miss Lu.”
“Thank you for what happened last time, Mr. Song.” Lu Qianqian was very polite.
“No need.” After saying that, Song Bozhi revealed a playful smile. Then, he and his a.s.sistant disappeared in front of Lu Qianqian.
Weirdo.
Vice President Qin and her a.s.sistant were walking behind him. They didn’t notice the two of them talking. Of course, this was because Song Bozhi deliberately avoided them.
They even stayed in the same hotel.
The little a.s.sistant saw this and broke out in cold sweat. “President Lu, why do I feel that President Song has put a tracking device on you? Wherever you go, he goes. This is too much of a coincidence. London is so big, why did he choose this hotel?”
“If it’s really a coincidence, isn’t it too much of a stretch?” Lu Qianqian smiled at the little a.s.sistant. “At worst, we can just check out and book another room.”
“Okay.” The a.s.sistant wasn’t at ease. He felt that it was better to stay away from this strange person.
Vice President Qin could tell something from this.
“You guys always run into this President Song?”
“Yeah…”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense. It’s only been two times. Last time, it was about the raw materials. He helped a little, but I didn’t accept it,” Lu Qianqian explained. Then, she turned around and lectured her a.s.sistant. “You can’t accuse him of following me just because you met him twice, right?”
“He’s not being paranoid. Let’s switch to another hotel. It’s safer,” Vice President Qin said.
“Okay.” Lu Qianqian nodded.
Although the a.s.sistant felt wronged, he was determined to protect Lin Mu’an’s position. As a man, he felt that this Song guy was up to no good.
Their CEO Lu was going to meet his parents when she got home. He couldn’t let any more complications arise.
