Chapter 025 Allergy
Just as Li Qingye was sharpening his knife.
Let’s go back a few days.
On the same day that the soldiers secretly captured Watanabe and others, Li Jinglan, who received instructions from Li Qingye, had to hurriedly leave Dart Port and fly to Manila.
Bafat, who was in charge of driving, escorted Li Jinglan, Kang Nan and others to the southern city of Lima.
Although Dart Port is also on Luzon Island, it is about 300 kilometers away from the capital Manila. There is no railway there, so people can only go to the neighboring Lima South City to take a train.
That evening, Bafat and his convoy arrived in Limanan, where the Sapiens company also set up an office to arrange transportation and accommodation for internal personnel.
For example, the vehicles escorting the convoy will be temporarily stored at the Limanan South Office, and they will be picked up from here when they return.
The person in charge of the Lima South Office belongs to the internal affairs department of the Intelligent Company, and the person in charge is a soldier.
At the hotel arranged in advance.
Li Jinglan felt something was wrong with Li Qingye's sudden arrangement, but he couldn't call Watanabe because Bafat was on the way.
He finally had some private time at this point and quickly picked up the phone.
“Beep, beep, beep… The number you dialed is out of service… Please call again later… Beep, beep, beep…”
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Li Jinglan had a bad feeling and quickly called his secretary Lime over.
“Rhyme, call this number on your phone.”
Lime, who didn't understand what was going on, dialed the number in confusion, but the call couldn't go through. At this time, Li Jinglan felt more and more uneasy.
He was in a very irritable mood and paced up and down the living room.
Lime on the side asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, could it be that the other party's phone is broken, or he hasn't paid the bill or something like that?"
Li Jinglan, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, quickly calmed down. Suddenly, he saw an app on his mobile phone and remembered one of its functions.
Quickly open [AhstsAPP]. Although the two have never added each other as friends, this instant messaging software supports non-friend communication as long as you have the other party's contact information.
This software is used by many people in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. Generally speaking, as executives of commercial companies, even if they do not use AhstsAPP frequently, they will install one on their mobile phones or laptops to facilitate communication with customers.
Li Jinglan quickly edited a text message.
After more than ten minutes, Li Jinglan, who was feeling increasingly solemn, suddenly received a reply.
[Li Sang, what’s up? Why can’t I get through to you on the phone? ]
Li Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.
[Mr. Watanabe, excuse me. I suddenly received news that I will be going to Hong Kong for a business trip for about half a month. I found that I couldn’t get through on the phone. I am worried that something has happened to you. Let’s talk about that matter next time.]
[OK, I will arrange the right people to ensure everything goes well. I wish us great success.]
Seeing this, Li Jinglan was completely relieved and the two sides stopped communicating.
At this moment, Li Jinglan had several mosquito bites on his neck. He slapped a few mosquitoes to death and looked at the blood on his hands. He was also very uncomfortable because of the nervousness and sweat all over his body.
Suddenly he saw his secretary Lime beside him, and he immediately became furious. He threw down his phone and pulled Lime into the bathroom.
As a secretary, Lime naturally knew the unspoken rules of this industry.
In the bathroom, a high-pitched soprano and bass voice soon sounded, as if playing the primitive rhythm of life.
the next morning.
Li Jinglan, feeling refreshed, boarded the train to Manila with Kangnan, Bafat and others.
…
"Boss, General Manager Li has already gone to Manila and the mission was successfully completed." The head of the Limananan office reported over the phone.
"Well, keep working."
"Yes, boss."
Since public communication signals were used, both parties kept their conversations brief and nothing obvious was involved.
…
Li Jinglan and his group got off the plane.
Another day of rest in Hong Kong.
Then Li Jinglan began to get busy with this mission. This mission was to negotiate with the Xinhai Company, with which he had cooperated before, and to ask the other party to help purchase a batch of scientific research equipment. Many sensitive equipment were involved, so both sides became relatively cautious.
More than a week passed quickly, and the negotiations did not go smoothly, mainly because some equipment could not be negotiated.
After all, many of the devices are sensitive equipment under the Wassenaar Arrangement. Although Luzon is not a restricted area, the boss of the Homo Sapiens Company is Chinese after all, and this is a problem.
After another day of fruitless efforts.
Li Jinglan sent Bafat and Conan away and drove back to his home in Hong Kong.
After a busy day , he lay on the sofa, flipping through TV programs boredly.
Seeing that Li Jinglan looked tired, his wife took out the Australian Wagyu beef short ribs she had just bought yesterday and prepared to reward her husband.
Half an hour later, the veal steak was fried until golden brown on both sides, added with white asparagus and cherry tomatoes, and a bottle of Romanee-Conti was opened.
"Dinner is ready, dear."
"Xiao Kai, stop playing on the computer and come over to eat."
Li Jinglan turned off the TV and skillfully cut the beef at the dining table . The Maillard reaction produced a rich caramelized aroma on the steak, filling his mouth with the fragrance of meat and fat.
After eating a few bites of veal, I took a sip of red wine.
"Huh, it really is worthy of being a wagyu that costs thousands of dollars per kilogram... huh?..."
Halfway through his sigh, Li Jinglan suddenly felt difficulty breathing, his face quickly turned red, and then he became dizzy and his heart stopped beating suddenly.
"Honey? What's wrong with you ?"
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she was at a loss what to do and quickly called an ambulance.
Outside the emergency room of Xiangjiang Hospital, Bafat and Kangnan, who rushed over after hearing the news, stood silently by, while Li Jinglan's family members had worried faces.
More than 20 minutes later, a light in the emergency room went out, and the doctor in charge of emergency treatment came out with a look of regret on his face and announced to everyone:
"I'm very sorry, the patient has lost vital signs."
"Wow, wow, wow...how could this happen?"
"dad……"
Kang Nan asked about Li Jinglan's rescue and found out that he had suffered a sudden anaphylactic shock, which led to difficulty breathing and cardiac arrest. He was already dead when he was sent to the hospital.
He asked in confusion: "Doctor, could an allergy be so serious? And according to Mrs. Li's description, Manager Li should have only eaten steak and asparagus. He often ate Western food when he was on business trips before, and he didn't have any allergies."
The doctor explained briefly to everyone based on his own understanding:
"I can explain this. Red meat allergy is not necessarily a congenital disease. It is also possible that tick bites can cause red meat allergy in the human body. In the case of severe allergies, there is indeed a certain mortality rate."
After learning the truth, Kang Nan no longer had any doubts. He comforted Li Jinglan's family and then called Li Qingye to report the matter.
After hearing about this, Li Qingye in Luzon immediately asked Kang Nan to take over Li Jinglan's previous affairs and sign a contract with Xinhai Company as soon as possible. The sensitive equipment previously used was cancelled in this transaction.
In addition, Kang Nan was asked to express condolences to Li Jinglan's family on behalf of the company and give some compensation.
