This name was so familiar. Shen Tong thought about it carefully and remembered that this person was Lan Yue's friend and worked in the China Merchants Bureau. Shen Tong and Lan Yue had met her for the first time. Shen Tong said curiously: "We know each other. How come?" Already?"
Li Mingming said: "It's nothing. Her family came to my house years ago and said they wanted to introduce her woman to me. I took a look and found that she looks pretty good."
"What?" Shen Tong was even more surprised and said, "Then isn't Li Min having an affair with Cai Fei, the son of Cai Kangyu, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau? Why is he involved with you again?"
"Cai Fei? That high school classmate of yours? You've already blown it!" Li Mingming said.
Dongquan is a small place, and people can be involved everywhere they go. Shen Tong asked: "Then what do you think?"
Li Mingming said: "Actually, I still pretend to be Yang Xiaoyi in my heart, but I don't know if she will like me? Hey! When you are free, come with me to find her."
The last time they met, the three of them had a meal at Bishan Station and almost caused Xiang Pengfei to mess up the situation. Yang Xiaoyi confided her feelings before leaving, leaving Shen Tong at a loss. Shen Tong thought for a while and said: "Okay ,no problem."
Li Mingming turned around and smiled and said, "I knew you were my good buddy!"
When they arrived at the highway intersection, Wu Jiangkai's car hadn't arrived yet, so Li Mingming stayed with him until he returned. Shen Tong got in the car, turned around and said Happy New Year to Wu Jiangkai, who nodded with blessing and immediately regained his gloomy expression.
Along the way, Wu Jiangkai remained silent, and the atmosphere in the car felt depressing.
When they arrived in Longzhong City, Lao Wei drove around and around to the Provincial People's Hospital. After Wu Jiangkai got off the car, he went straight to the cadre ward on the 11th floor.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, he met Ma Guotao, the former mayor of Shihe Town. Wu Jiangkai was calm and composed, but Ma Guotao was extremely surprised. He hurriedly walked to Wu Jiangkai and called Secretary Wu in a low voice.
It had been a long time since I had seen Ma Guotao, and he was obviously very haggard. His eyes were sunken, his beard was unkempt, and his mental outlook was very poor. Shen Tong nodded slightly and said hello.
Wu Jiangkai asked with a straight face: "Why are you here?" Wu Jiangkai was angry with Ma Guotao. The last time he organized Qiaobei Villagers to petition the provincial government, the account had not been settled. If Governor Qiu hadn't come forward, Li City If he presses down, Wu Jiangkai's position will be in danger.
Ma Guotao slapped his forehead, let out a long breath, and said plaintively: "My wife is in the hospital with malignant tumor, terminal stage!"
Wu Jiangkai and Shen Tong were extremely surprised. When Shen Tong was in Shihe Town, he heard the doorman Wang Tou talk about it. At that time, he also wanted to use this matter to win Ma Guotao's trust and walked through the back door of the uncle's son of the Beijing Cancer Hospital. Thinking that it has only been a few days, it has already developed into an advanced stage.
Life and death were at stake. Wu Jiangkai put aside his past grievances, took Ma Guotao's hand and said: "Old Ma, this matter is beyond our control. If you need help from the county committee, just ask." Then he said to Shen Tong: "Go down and buy one. Flower basket, I'll go take a look."
Shen Tong ran downstairs in response. Wu Jiangkai's words completely broke Ma Guotao's heart. He burst into tears and said: "Secretary Wu, I thank you, I really thank you. I used to..."
Hearing that Ma Guotao was about to mention the past, Wu Jiangkai immediately interrupted: "Don't mention the past anymore. Now we must seize the time and go all out to cure my sister-in-law's illness."
Ma Guotao burst into tears and nodded heavily with regret on his face.
Shen Tong came up with a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Wu Jiangkai, and thoughtfully gave him 2,000 yuan. Wu Jiangkai understood what he meant, and under the leadership of Ma Guotao, he went to the intensive care unit.
Ma Guotao's wife is as skinny as a stick, and all her hair has fallen out due to chemotherapy. She wears an oxygen mask on her mouth, her face is dull, and her breath is as thin as a thread. She is probably not far from the end of her life. The children gathered in a circle, all of them are mentally and physically. Haggard, when they saw someone coming in, they all stood up and looked at the big man.
Ma Guotao went to wake up his wife, but was stopped by Wu Jiangkai. He put the flowers on the bedside table, put the money given by Shen Tong under the pillow, shook hands with his children one by one, and left with a heavy heart.
Before leaving, Shen Tong pulled Ma Guotao aside and said, "Mayor Ma, there are relatives of mine in the Beijing Cancer Hospital. Would you like to go there and have a look?"
Ma Guotao shook his head and said: "Thank you, no need. We are all very aware of your aunt's situation, so there is no need to go back and forth any more."
Seeing this scene, Shen Tong didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only send his most sincere blessings. Because Wu Jiangkai was walking in front, Shen Tong didn't talk much and quickened his pace to follow.
The cadre ward is very hidden. You can find it by turning left and right, passing through a door, and then going up a flight of stairs. Arriving at the door of Qiu Zhiguo's ward, Wu Jiangkai looked in through the crack in the door, and after confirming that no one was there, he opened the door and went in.
The room was very warm, and due to the sunlight, Shen Tong felt a tingling sensation all over his body as soon as he entered. But it was the first time he faced such a big official, so he was a little more cautious. Shen Tong put away the things he was carrying, and quickly Entering the role, he picked up the thermos bottle on the side and went out.
Qiu Zhiguo was full of energy and did not look sick at all. After seeing Wu Jiangkai, he pointed to the sofa and said, "Who told you that I was hospitalized?"
Wu Jiangkai opened his clothes, sat down and smiled sheepishly: "Mayor Li told me."
"This Li Changkui!" Qiu Zhiguo murmured.
Wu Jiangkai said hurriedly: "Governor Qiu, are you okay? I couldn't sit still when I heard the news that you were hospitalized. I rushed to Longzhong early this morning. No, I even brought a transportation person to you when I arrived. He is exclusively serving you these days."
Qiu Zhiguo pointed to the door and said, "Is that the young man just now?"
Wu Jiangkai nodded and said: "Shen Tong, my secretary, this young man is smart and steady and can be trusted!" Wu Jiangkai's implication was to dispel Qiu Zhiguo's concerns. At his level, he is particularly sensitive to strangers, not to mention that now is a critical period. , have to be extremely careful.
Qiu Zhiguo opened the quilt and got out of bed, picked up the cigarette on the bedside table and threw a cigarette to Wu Jiangkai, lit it himself and said: "To be honest with you, I'm not sick."
Wu Jiangkai was secretly surprised, but did not show it. Instead, he stared at Qiu Zhiguo, waiting for the next step.
Qiu Zhiguo sighed and continued: "You have also seen the situation in the province. Secretary Qiao of the provincial party committee and Governor Zhang have brought their conflicts to the table, reaching the point of tense situations. In order to open a gap, Secretary Qiao started with me, and Consigning my secretary to Jianghai as a secret shuanggui is not just a stepping stone. Hey!"
Qiu Zhiguo stood up and stood in front of the window and looked into the distance, saying: "Years ago, Secretary Qiao went to Longnan City and had a conversation with Chang Kui. He was talking about work openly, but secretly he was asking Chang Kui to report I, Changkui told me all these things, but he didn’t do it.”
