Chapter 172 Sincerity for sincerity

Since that day, Jiang Si'er never met Qin Lan again. The next time he heard from Qin Lan was half a month later. Qin Lan's case officially came to an end, the verdict had been handed down, and she was transferred to a prison in the suburbs of Beijing.

On the day she learned the news, Jiang Si'er sat alone in the office for the entire afternoon, and no one knew how she felt at the time.

The next day, she received a call from Liu Qi.

"I saw Tan Lan's verdict, and her money is still with me. I can't contact her, can I give it to you? I only did half of the work for her, so I only took half of the money. I would feel guilty taking it all."

Jiang Si'er agreed because he was afraid that she would have a burden. In the end, Jiang Si'er returned the money to Jiang Zhi through Jiang Ming.

For the Jiang brothers and sisters, this was just a small amount of money, the price of a piece of clothing. They didn't say anything.

But for Liu Qi, it was a huge number, a number that allowed her to survive.

"How was your surgery?"

"We just found a matching bone marrow recently, and will be having surgery soon."

Jiang Sier asked about the time of the operation, "I happen to be free that day, I'll go over and accompany you."

Liu Qi was not married, had no children, and had no reliable relatives or friends around him.

After thinking about it, Liu Qi agreed.

Before hanging up the phone, Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and became concerned about another matter, "No result yet?"

"Because it was such a long time ago, my senior went to the hotel there but couldn't find the staff there, and is still looking for them. I will let you know when I have any results. Or if you remember anything, you can contact me at any time. If you are worried, you can also contact my senior directly."

"Although I know him, he is the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Beijing Municipal Bureau. He enforces the law strictly and will not be partial or corrupt."

"I believe you." Liu Qi said.

Jiang Sier was silent.

"During this period, you always asked people to bring me supplements and always cared about me. I know you are a good child. I have calmed down and thought about what happened back then. I am also slowly believing that this is a misunderstanding."

"I hope I'm not mistaken."

The final truth has not yet surfaced, and perhaps this result will never come. But Liu Qi was still moved by Jiang Sier's actions, so much so that she began to slowly let go of her grudges and the resentment that had accumulated for more than 20 years.

"I even thought, if your father is really innocent in the end, and he really has good intentions to take care of me, but I have slandered him for so many years, I don't know how to face you, and I don't know how to face your father in the future. I can't accept myself like this."

It can be seen that Liu Qi's early experiences in the entertainment industry have actually worn her out. It is probably because of too much PUA in the industry, especially from her agency and agent. Coupled with the pressure of various peer competition and cyberbullying, her personality has changed.

Jiang Si'er investigated her background and knew that she did not have an easy time in the circle in her early years. She was only popular for a short time. At that time, there were endless young actresses with good acting skills and good looks, and soon no one remembered Liu Qi.

In fact, Liu Qi seemed calm and composed, and he handled the conversation with her with ease, but she was just an empty shell.

"Don't think like that. You are also a victim. Fortunately, you didn't do what Qin Lan asked you to do, which gave me a chance to save the situation. So you don't need to blame yourself. I am still very grateful that you stand by my side. My father is also a generous man and will not blame you."

"Don't blame yourself too much, just get treatment with peace of mind."

"If you have anything else, you can contact me at any time. My phone is always open, so you don't need to bother me."

Liu Qi seemed to choke up on the phone, then responded and hung up the phone hastily, without giving Jiang Sier a chance to speak again. "You are philanthropic." Bai Xu heard it clearly on the other side and couldn't understand her behavior.

"She is also a pitiful person. What's more, my father was indeed too strict back then. Her voice in the circle at that time affected her and she was relatively fragile. In addition, some of my father's words, whether intentional or unintentional, still had an irreversible impact on her."

"In addition, this time, she could have played the role of the perfect 'victim' to the end, but in the end she chose to betray Qin Lan and told the truth. This can be regarded as a reassurance to me early on, otherwise I would have been unable to sleep or eat well in the days that followed."

"If you don't understand, just think of it as spending money to buy peace of mind." Jiang Si'er said leisurely while lying on a chair.

Bai Xu smacked his lips, "To get things done nowadays, not only do you need a lot of money, but you also need sincerity to do it. It's really not easy."

"It is often difficult to exchange sincerity for sincerity, but fortunately it went smoothly this time. As for the money, the other party did not ask for it, but I insisted on giving it. As I said, it buys peace of mind."

Fortunately, for her, she had originally thought that if the negotiation failed, she would use money to solve the problem, because the situation was really urgent at the time and she didn't have time to fight a protracted war with the other party. So the money had to be spent.

And when calculated, it was much less than her budget.

It can be considered as spending little money to achieve great things, and it's a bargain.

"So you really plan to accompany her to the surgery?"

"Go ahead. There's no one to take care of her. I'll contact the nurse and go with her. It's not a big deal. After all, it's not far."

If there is no traffic jam, it only takes two hours to drive from Beijing to Linshi.

Besides, she did have a day off that day and had time to go by.

"My dad would probably agree."

Bai Xu had nothing to say.

He had always thought that Jiang Sier relied on calculations and her so-called "high emotional intelligence" to gain popularity. Now, it seems that most of her popularity and connections were earned by her through sincerity.

Bai Xu felt bad when he thought about how she had struggled alone a few years ago.

He suddenly understood why Jiang Sier always liked to talk about "retirement" and "playing rotten". She was really tired after all this journey.

"By the way, when do you plan to retire?" Bai Xu asked tentatively.

These words caught the attention of Lu Huaiye who was sitting on the sofa.

Yes, the two of them had nothing to do today and were both in Jiang Sier’s office.

"I want to retire, but I haven't decided when." Jiang Sier rested his head on his arm, lost in thought. After a while, he said, "I originally thought that I would hand over the company to Lao Gao after it got on track."

"But with the addition of you guys, I'm a little worried about leaving you to other people."

"So you're going to continue doing this for the rest of your life?" Bai Xu didn't believe it.

"Who knows?" Jiang Si'er smiled and did not give a clear answer.

She really wanted to retire, but she couldn't let go of them, and of course she couldn't let go of her love for this industry.

She can only satisfy her craving for pleasure, as it is still a long way to go before she retires.
