Xiaodao is seventeen years old. At this age, he should be a sophomore in high school. He should be quarreling with his parents to buy an iPhone, chase girls, go to Internet cafes and play games. He should be spending his youth wantonly and be full of hope for the future. But Xiaodao feels that life is meaningless. This is not the case.
If there is a problem with the child, there is a problem with the society.
Liu Handong drove to the hospital silently and followed Xiao Dao upstairs.
"Brother, I won't run, you don't have to stare at me." Xiao Dao felt a little awkward.
But Liu Handong still insisted on following him to the ward. When Xiao Min saw that his brother had brought a stranger, he was too timid to ask.
"You are Xiao Min, right? I'm your brother's friend. Just call me Brother Dong. Let's pack up and let's go out to play." Liu Handong said with a smile.
Xiao Dao was stunned and looked at Liu Handong in disbelief.
Xiao Min was young after all, so she became excited: "Okay, okay, where should we go to play?"
"Just follow me."
"But... I don't want to go out." Xiao Min suddenly hesitated. She was wearing a large blue and white striped hospital gown and a hat. Due to long-term chemotherapy, her hair was already bald. She was just 12 or 13 years old when she became sensible.
Children are afraid of being ugly.
"Let's go to the department store to buy clothes first." Liu Handong understood the little girl's thoughts.
After a long time, Xiao Min finally changed her clothes and put on her shoes, followed Liu Handong and Xiaodao out, but was stopped at the nurse station. The head nurse said with a fierce face: "What are you going to do? There are two more sling bottles in the afternoon."
beat."
Liu Handong pulled the head nurse aside and asked her: "Sister, let me ask you something, can this child be saved?"
The head nurse said: "We must not give up treatment no matter what..." Facing Liu Handong's bright eyes, he suddenly sighed and said: "It's a matter of time."
"Since we don't have much time, why suffer the pain? I'll take her out to play, buy some clothes, go to the park, and make the child happy. Sister, you have to support me."
"Okay, leave early and come back early." The head nurse looked at the clock hanging on her chest: "Be back before dinner."
Liu Handong took his two children downstairs and came to the parking lot. Xiao Min looked at the four circles of Audi and asked in surprise: "Is Brother Dong a high official?"
Xiaodao explained awkwardly: "He is not an official, but a businessman."
Liu Handong said: "Yes, I am in business. Your brother is working with me now. The young man is very capable. I am going to promote him to be the manager."
"Really, brother, that's great." Xiao Min looked excited, got into the car, and fluttered on the seat, as happy as a bird.
Liu Handong drove straight to the city center. There was a clothing street there. They were all cheap and high-quality clothing exported to domestic sales. House after family came over and bought which ones they liked. No matter how expensive they were, they only cost a few hundred yuan.
, I can afford it, Xiao Min is very sensible, she only picked a skirt, a pair of medium pants and two shirts. After all, she comes from a poor family, and the items she picked were all cheap items worth tens of yuan. Liu Handong did not force her to buy expensive items.
Yes, this will put a psychological burden on the girl. Anyway, just like it.
After buying clothes, Liu Handong took them to the water park by the river. He bought a 400-yuan pass and played there all afternoon. Watching the two children splashing in the water, shouting, laughing and chasing each other, Liu Handong felt sad in his heart.
It's sour, this is probably the first time Xiao Min has played in such a place, and it may also be the last time.
After playing, Liu Handong invited the two children to dinner. Binjiang's Xiangzhang Restaurant is one of the best in Omi's catering industry, and its decoration is magnificent. The receptionist at the door was tall and long-legged, and the two children were so scared that they did not dare to go in.
This meal was the most luxurious dinner that Xiao Dao and his sister had ever had. Xiao Dao went out several times during the meal but returned without success. Liu Handong saw what was on his mind and pulled him aside in the name of going to the toilet and asked: "Is something wrong?"
?”
"Today is Xiao Min's birthday. I want to buy her a small cake. I don't have any money. I went out and looked around and couldn't find anything suitable..." Xiao Dao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, my brother has arranged it." Liu Handong immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a call, and told Xiaodao to keep it secret and not to say anything.
It was already eight o'clock after dinner. Xiao Min was worried, fearing that she would be scolded by the head nurse for wasting time, but neither of her two brothers had any intention of sending her back. Instead, they drove straight to Jinzun KTV. As soon as they entered the gate, the three of them were all
Stunned, a group of people waved cold fireworks and sang happy birthday, and then a small car rolled out with a five-layer cake on top and thirteen candles lit.
Xiao Min burst into tears on the spot, and Xiao Dao bit her lip and turned her face away, not wanting anyone to see the tears in her eyes. The brother and sister had never enjoyed happiness since childhood, never been to a hotel, and had never had such a grand birthday.
What surprised Xiao Min even more was that the nurse in charge of her own ward was also invited. Everyone made a wish and blew out the candles. Xiao Min imitated the scene on TV, clasped her hands together and closed her eyes and muttered something. When she was done, she opened her eyes and blew out the candles.
Then they started to share the cake. Amidst the laughter, Liu Handong was called to the office upstairs by Jiang Haofeng, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
"Brother Dong, this is the latest cash flow account. Take a look." Jiang Haofeng handed over the account book.
Liu Handong glanced twice, nodded and praised: "Business is good, it's booming."
Jiang Haofeng said: "Brother Dong, some guests have made special requests. How should we deal with them?"
"What special request?" Liu Handong pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.
"It's just...someone wants to find excitement and do something exciting..." Jiang Haofeng was a little embarrassed to say it, because everyone knew that Brother Dong had done anti-drug work before, and if he proposed this business to him, he would definitely be in trouble.
Unexpectedly, Liu Handong did not have a serious face, but asked: "What do other families do?"
"We don't sell this ourselves, but we can't help it. As long as we let it go, people will come to sell it. All we have to do is turn a blind eye."
"Then make up your mind and don't cause trouble." Liu Handong was noncommittal, but he meant that he didn't object.
After leaving the office, he met Huo Lei. He asked Liu Handong in confusion: "Brother Dong, what are you doing? It's such a big show."
Liu Handong talked about Sister Xiaodao. Huo Lei smiled and said, Brother Dong, you are determined to take this little brother in. The cost is quite high.
"I just feel that the little girl is so pitiful. I have killed too many evil people. Aren't you used to doing good deeds once in a while?" Liu Handong lit up a cigarette, and the stubborn face of Xiao Dao appeared in front of his eyes. This boy is thin and dry, and he is not
At 1.7 meters tall, he is not the material to be a thug at all. Once this matter is over, just arrange a job as a waiter for him.
Due to Xiao Min's health, the birthday party only lasted half an hour. Liu Handong sent her back to the hospital at around nine o'clock, where she was inevitably scolded by the head nurse again.
After coming out of the hospital, Xiaodao couldn't help but speak: "Brother Dong, I don't have much else to say. This life is yours from now on, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, in one sentence."
Liu Handong was not surprised. Seventeen-year-old children are not rich enough in life experience. A small favor can be repaid with their lives. What's more, no one has ever given warmth to a young boy like Xiaodao who has experienced ups and downs.
"The person I'm looking for is a man in his forties or fifties, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. If you just wander around on the street, he will naturally keep an eye on you." Liu Handong said.
Xiaodao scratched his head: "I don't have any characteristics, how do I know if he is the person you are looking for?"
"He'll be interested in your hands."
"Understood, I will report to you as soon as I have any news."
"Where to stay tonight?"
"The bridge, the park, it's hot anyway, so the sky should be used as a bed."
"Follow me back to Jinzun. The duty room has a bed and air conditioning."
…
In the deep corner of Jiajiale Supermarket, Zhu Xiaoqiang, a tallyman wearing a red vest, was taking a break from his work to check his mobile phone and check Weibo. The video he posted of the mayor fighting the urban management has been forwarded more than 8,000 times, and his number of followers has skyrocketed by thousands. In order to be more
After being devoted to work, Zhu Xiaoqiang reluctantly gave up his seven-character party ID for real-name authentication and called Fei Changshou, whose profile is Bazhu, the vice president of Liu Fei's fan club.
Zhu Xiaoqiang didn't know that he was just an insignificant part of Liu Fei's huge publicity team. If he bought a copy of Omi Daily, he would find that the first three pages were all about Mayor Liu, but the reports about Secretary Cao of the Municipal Party Committee were more important.
There are few, and the Omi News Broadcast mostly reports on the mayor's investigation, inspection and presiding of meetings. The pattern of Omi's mayor being strong and the secretary being weak was like this during Jin Muchen's period, so everyone is used to it.
Several temporary urban management workers who participated in the beating of merchants that day were dismissed almost immediately. Squadron leader Zhong Dayong was dismissed from his post on the spot. Of course, this matter was not over yet. The fruit stall owner went to the hospital to see a doctor, take a film and do a CT scan.
After going through the process, I asked someone to prepare a minor injury appraisal report, asking the Urban Management Bureau to pay compensation.
As a result, the unlucky temporary workers were administratively detained by the police station, and the city's urban management law enforcement team conducted intensive study. There was vague news in the city that all temporary urban management workers were to be dismissed.
Less than a day after the news came out, it was confirmed that it was not a rumor. The Urban Management and Law Enforcement Bureau was completely reorganized and cleaned up. All leading cadres, including the chief and deputy directors, were put on standby until further notice. All temporary workers and hired personnel were dismissed without leaving a single one!
A day later, hundreds of temporary workers wearing green urban management uniforms gathered in front of the city hall. They came to sit-in and demonstrate with slogans, asking Mayor Liu to withdraw his order.
The city government immediately launched an emergency plan and mobilized a large number of riot police to form a blockade in front of the door. The dark blue police officers and the green urban management officers looked clearly distinct from a distance, just like an ancient battle array. Many people gloated about the misfortune and said that these urban management officers deserved to be unlucky. Who let them
They set up other people's stalls when they had nothing to do. Some people said that the urban management team was very capable of fighting, but why did they get cold feet when encountering riot police?
Among the onlookers was Zhong Dayong, the dismissed urban management squadron leader. He saw more than ten of his subordinates in the demonstration. These old guys came to make trouble and did not communicate with him, otherwise he would stop them no matter what he said. Liu Shi
The leader is a leader known for his iron fist. This method of forcing the palace may be useful for ordinary leaders, but it will only have the opposite effect on Liu Fei.
He knew that these guys were also driven to a dead end. Most of them were from the bottom of the society with no education or skills. Being urban managers was just a way of making ends meet, but behind every face was a family, and hawkers were pitiful.
, why can’t urban management be pathetic?
Suddenly, the urban management officers stopped sitting quietly and stood up one after another. The riot police officers raised their plexiglass shields and prepared tear gas canisters from behind as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, the urban management officials did not take any aggressive actions and instead dispersed.
Zhong Dayong's heart moved. He knew that this matter would never end easily, so he followed several familiar colleagues until they reached Yanwu Street. The urban management officials gathered again and blocked the door of the Suzaku Hotel.
It turned out that someone had tipped off that Liu Fei did not work at the city government, but at the Suzaku Hotel, and that the demonstration would be effective here.
