Chapter 181 Poor Xia Lian
After lunch at the hotel, the two exchanged contact information. Then Chen Xi drove Xia Lian back to her residence.

Seeing a dilapidated apartment in front of her, Xia Lian couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. She lowered her head, as if she didn't want Chen Xi to see the difficulties of her life.

The mailbox at the door of the room was actually made of a biscuit box. This simple facility made Chen Xi feel distressed.

"I'll help you find a better house." Chen Xi said, touching her head.

"No, thank you! Xiaoqian and I live together and don't want to be separated." Xia Lian shook her head.

"Okay, I'll contact you when I've arranged the work." Chen Xi shook his phone and waved goodbye.

Xia Lian nodded shyly and turned to walk into the house. As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to rush to Xiaoqian's room.

Seeing Xiaoqian sleeping soundly with a tired face, she felt extremely distressed. She quickly closed the door and decided to wait for her to wake up before telling her what happened.

"Beep~Beep~" When Chen Xi just got into the car and was about to go home, his cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was A-Lin calling, so he immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey, where have you been? Why are you calling me now?" Chen Xi said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, I was in a car accident and I'm in the hospital now. Come and find me. Ouch~" Alin's painful screams came from the other end of the phone.

Hearing the news, Chen Xi frowned, hurriedly asked for the address of the hospital where Alin was, and then hung up the phone.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital, founded in 1856, is not only Australia's leading medical institution for complex and acute cases, but also one of the country's largest clinical teaching hospitals. Its medical facilities and technologies have been rigorously certified by international assessment agencies.

The hospital is characterized by its excellent teamwork and creation of a relaxing treatment environment.

The Royal Melbourne Hospital has first-class research centers and facilities, focusing on clinical and basic research, and gradually expanding into the fields of innovation and translational science.

It is worth mentioning that the hospital also has a medical immigration center that provides convenient and efficient medical services to patients from other countries.

According to the latest global rankings, the Royal Melbourne Hospital is among the world's best in orthopedics, general surgery and arrhythmia treatment.

In addition, the hospital is recognized as one of the world's top liver transplant centers, and its service efficiency and treatment results are internationally praised.

Half an hour later, Chen Xi's car stopped steadily on Grattan St.

Looking at the hospital building, he couldn't help but frown. Alin must have a broken bone, otherwise he wouldn't have come here. The orthopedics department here is quite famous.

"What's wrong with you? Are you playing Fast & Furious?" After registering at the front desk and being led to the ward by the nurse, he saw Alin lying on the bed, with his arms, head and legs wrapped like a mummy.

"Don't mention it. I was sending you a text message yesterday, but my phone fell under the seat. I was trying to pick it up while driving, and I accidentally..." Alin said with a frown.

"Is everything okay? Did you hit your brain?" Chen Xi looked at him left and right.

"Wow, wow, wow~ I'm so miserable. I can't go out and have fun for a while. Fortunately, it wasn't my most important leg that was broken."

"Haha, it looks like everything is fine. You're still in the mood to do that."

"You are such a heartless person, you are still laughing."

"Damn it, if it weren't for you, would I have lost my virginity last night?"

"Wet? It didn't rain last night, did it? No, you lost your virginity? What happened? Tell me in detail."

"I'll tell you the details!"

"I didn't even know to bring some fruit when I came to see you."

"If you want to eat, just go to Richmond and eat whatever you want. I'll pay!"

Chen Xi pulled a chair over, sat down beside Alin's bed, crossed his legs and started chatting with him.

"Here, these are the documents from the cram school. Take a look, sign them, and then ask Matthew and the others to sign as well." Alin handed over a file bag. Chen Xi opened it and took a look. There was a stack of A4 papers inside.

"There are so many. I'll get some when I get back." Chen Xi put the things in his hand on the table with a smile.

"Once the documents are ready, the cram school will be open this month. I've asked Old Xing and the others to take care of the rest. I think I'll need a few days to recuperate."

"How many days do you need to recuperate? I think more than ten days is not enough for you."

"The nurses here are so ugly and ridiculously fat. The foreign girls all have great figures before giving birth, but they become terribly deformed after giving birth." Alin said with a bitter face.

He was right. Australia has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. With a total population of more than 30 million, more than 10 million of them are obese. Their normal food is very high in calories, and due to their physical condition, they simply cannot lose weight.

"You'd better behave yourself for a few days, save up some bullets, and replenish your ammunition depot, hahahaha."

Chen Xi said something, said goodbye to him, and strode out of the hospital.

At this moment, Xia Lian was lying on the single bed in the apartment, her body curled up under a thin quilt, trying to resist the cold air.

The room was extremely small, only able to accommodate a spring bed and a few simple pieces of furniture. The apartment had two bedrooms and a living room. Although it was shabby, Xia Lian kept it exceptionally clean. Many things in the house were cleverly made from discarded items.

She lay on the bed, blowing on her hands, trying to warm her cold fingers.

There is no air conditioning in the room, and even if there was, she probably wouldn't be willing to turn it on.

The cold temperature brought her thoughts back to what happened last night. Those painful memories pierced her heart like needles, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

In this small and cold room, Xia Lian's inner world is as barren and lonely as her living environment.

However, even in the face of such difficulties, she still maintains her love for life and her vision for the future.

what do I do!
He has a girlfriend. Will my going there to work affect his relationship with his girlfriend? I... am already in this state. Can I still get married in the future? Will others look down on me? I heard that men are very concerned about that.

When she thought about the possibility of being disliked by her future husband, she couldn't help crying again.

When recalling the passion of last night and Chen Xi's handsome and gentle face, Xia Lian's face suddenly flushed. She couldn't help but fall into reverie, how great it would be if she could become his girlfriend.

Xia Lian, it’s wrong for you to think like this. You can’t destroy other people’s feelings.

Forget it, let it be. At worst I won’t get married in the future.

As all her tears had been shed and she was physically exhausted from the night before, Xia Lian fell into a deep sleep not long after.

Chen Xi drove to Richmond and parked the car in front of the company building. He saw Gou Zi and Tran standing at the door smoking, so he walked over and greeted them.

"Why are you here?" Tran asked with a smile.

"Come and see how you are doing these past two days?" Chen Xi asked as he lit a cigarette.

"It's quite busy, there's a lot of business! By the way, sister-in-law, I've arranged everything for you. It's just the easy work of answering the phone and handling documents."

"What sister-in-law? Don't talk nonsense, I have a girlfriend."

Chen Xi frowned and whispered something in Gouzi's ear.

"Oh, so this is my second sister-in-law?"

"Forget it, I don't want to explain to you anymore. Is there any room left in the company?"

"Ah? Who is arranged this time? Third sister-in-law?" Gou Zi covered his mouth with a wicked smile.

"What positions are still lacking in the company? Those suitable for women. Forget it, forget it, I'll arrange it myself." Chen Xi thought about it and waved his hand.

"Haha." Tran couldn't hold back his laughter. He was in a good mood recently. Since Chen Xi opened a company here, he also gained some economic benefits. What's more worth mentioning is that the relationship between the Vietnamese and the Chinese has also been significantly eased.

Now two-thirds of the people in the company are Vietnamese and one-third are Chinese, and the two sides get along well.

In the office on the second floor of the company, Chen Xi sat on the sofa, facing the Yue woman in front of him. There were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere seemed a little subtle and complicated.

Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Gou Zi calling this woman "Second Sister-in-law" because he didn't even know her name and she was no different from a stranger.

Although there was no sexual intercourse between them, the inexplicable sense of intimacy made Chen Xi feel a little uncomfortable.

Even though we've seen everything, it doesn't matter since we're all adults.

"What's your name?"

"Alva."

"How's work going?"

"Yeah, that's good, thank you!"

"Ah."

Neither of them knew what to say next, nor how to break the deadlock.

The atmosphere in the office became extremely awkward. Chen Xi glanced at Alva. She had a good figure and was wearing a professional suit. She exuded an irresistible charm, which made him feel an irresistible impulse in his heart.

He suppressed the anger in his heart, turned his attention to work, and asked, "Are there any easier job openings in the company?"

This question broke the awkward atmosphere and provided a new topic for the two to talk about.

"I am now responsible for contacting customers, which can be considered as customer service, and then I classify and organize the orders. Currently, one person in the company does several jobs..." What Alva meant was that if the tasks were broken down, there would be a shortage of people for everything, because everyone is now responsible for several things.

But there is no other way. After all, it is not a big company, and each position still needs a dedicated person to be responsible for it.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Xi frowned.

It seems that I can only send Xia Lian to Sihai or a cram school.

Chen Xi left Richmond and ran to Matthew with the documents in his hand.

When he walked into the second floor of the cram school, he felt almost unfamiliar, because there had been earth-shaking changes here. The entire space was arranged in an orderly manner, full of order and beauty.

There are some honorary certificates hanging on the wall, which were obtained by Alin and other teachers in the past. These certificates exist not only to leave a good first impression on students, but also to demonstrate the professionalism and ability of the teachers here.

There is a clear house number on the door of each classroom, so that students can easily find their class location.

There is also a sign on the wall for posting class schedules and an area for displaying teacher information.

These thoughtful arrangements provide not only convenience but also transparency, allowing students to better understand their teachers and the courses they are studying.

This professional presentation method further enhanced students' trust and favorability towards the cram school.

"Well, why don't you ask us to help you?"

Looking at Matthew standing on a chair and sticking something on the wall, Chen Xi coughed.

"Oh, you're here! You guys seem very busy. I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Matthew put a piece of paper on the wall, tapped it a few times, then turned and smiled at Chen Xi.
