At this time, I found that our car was passing by Jiangnan Group, so I hurriedly asked Xiao Sui to drive in. I called Lin Yi at the same time, "Uncle Lin, I was passing by your company and wanted to come in and talk to you about something.
.Are you in the office now?”
He said in a happy voice, "Yes. Come up."
The doorman here has known me for a long time, and I quickly arrived in his office.
When I entered, he was waiting for me on the sofa. There was a pot of tea brewing on the coffee table in front of the sofa. It looked like he had just brewed it, and the green tea leaves were still rising and falling in it.
I went to sit across from him, and he immediately poured me a cup of tea. The color of the tea in the cup was very beautiful, and another wisp of water vapor slowly floated upward, and I immediately smelled an indescribable fragrance.
Secretary Luo didn't give me tea in his office earlier, and now I'm really thirsty.
"Feng Xiao, why did you think of coming to me today? But I was very happy when you called me just now." He looked at me with a smile and said.
I said, "I just went to the Provincial Education Commission. I was about to go to the affiliated hospital and happened to pass by here, so I called you."
He smiled and asked me: "You want to ask me if your Aunt Shi has contacted me recently, right?"
I nodded, "Yes. But besides that, I also want to ask you something."
He looked at me in surprise, and then said: "Your Aunt Shi did call me. She told me that she and her child are in Canada now. But she said she didn't want to come back for the time being because she said she didn't want to see me.
and Doudou’s child. Feng Xiao, I’m sorry, in fact, I also have selfish motives in this matter. Although I told her that you miss your child very much, she said that unless I am no longer with Doudou, she
Then she came back, so I rejected her. I'm sorry."
I immediately felt very uncomfortable, "Uncle Lin, could you please give me Aunt Shi's phone number?"
He shook his head and sighed: "That's the number of a public phone. Then I suddenly remembered something and called that number. I wanted to tell her to send you some photos of the children or something, but
When I called back I found out it was a public phone."
I suddenly became excited, "Then at least we can know where she is in Canada."
But he was still shaking his head, "Your Aunt Shi is more thoughtful than me in some aspects. She must have thought of this a long time ago, otherwise she wouldn't have called me from a public phone. Feng Xiao, to tell you the truth
Well, I checked that number later. Do you know where it is? It's near the Toronto Airport!" Then he went to his desk, pulled a note from the notepad and handed it to me, "
The number above is the number she called. If you don’t believe it, you can call and check.”
I took the note from his hand. At this moment, I felt very hurt and angry at the same time. I murmured in my mouth: "She, she is so cruel to do this!"
Lin Yi looked at me, "I'm sorry."
I immediately stood up and prepared to leave, because I didn't want to say anything to him anymore, and I no longer felt like that.
But he stopped me, "Feng Xiao, why are you leaving? Didn't you say there was something else?"
I stood at the door of his office, then turned around and said, "Secretary Zhang of the Medical University may be in some trouble recently. Uncle Lin, please be careful."
But he smiled faintly, "Don't worry, he doesn't have much trouble."
I was still very surprised, and after hearing what he said, I immediately felt relieved. But at this time, I no longer wanted to say, "Uncle Lin, goodbye."
After returning to the car, I still felt angry in my heart. Yes, this Shi Yanni was too cruel. That was my child. What right did she have to take the child away from me forcefully?
"Director Feng, your phone was ringing just now." Xiao Sui said to me.
Only then did I realize that I had forgotten my cell phone in the car. I must have put it next to me after calling Lin Yi, because I felt a little uneasy at that time.
I hurriedly turned on the phone to check and found that there was indeed a missed call from Dean Zhu. So I hurriedly called back and said, "Dean Zhu, I'm sorry, I was in a meeting just now."
He smiled and said: "It's okay. I have something to do now. I have already sent you a text message. Her current address is in it."
I thanked him profusely and went to read the text message.
He immediately ordered Xiao Sui to drive to the place mentioned in the text message.
This is a very ordinary community. It is one of the first real estate developments in this city. Now it looks a bit like an old city. Time is really cruel, not only can our appearance slowly age
Go, even this building became like this due to its erosion. It is said that once humans disappear in this world, it will only take about 10,000 years for all civilizations on the earth to disappear, and the entire world will be destroyed.
It will become a wasteland. Time is really a terrible thing.
I stood outside this community. At this moment, I hesitated: Do I really want to go in? Do I really want to find her?
Finally, I went in and found where Jordan lived based on the house number provided to me by Dean Zhu.
The inside of the elevator was mottled and scratched everywhere. After getting out of the elevator, I found that the inside of the corridor was very shabby, and the walls of the corridor were full of advertisements for psoriasis - about opening locks, opening sewers, treating gonorrhea and syphilis, etc. It was a mess.
Finally I found the house number I was looking for. I stood at the door and raised my hand to knock on the door, but at this moment I hesitated again...
But after only hesitating for a few seconds, I finally started to knock on the door resolutely. "Dong, dong, dong!" The sound of knocking on the door resonated with the remaining hesitation in my heart.
The door opened, and to my surprise, there was a young and beautiful face in front of me. I immediately remembered: I had seen photos of her at Jordan's house, and she should be Jordan's daughter.
"Where's your mother?" I asked immediately.
She immediately looked at me warily, "Who are you?"
I smiled and said to her: "Your name is Muqiao, right? I once saw your photo in your home."
The vigilance on her face suddenly faded a lot, "Who are you?"
I hurriedly introduced myself: "My name is Feng Xiao, and I am your mother's former colleague."
She looked at me again and said, "Did my mother tell you that my name is Muqiao?"
I smiled and said, "Yeah."
A smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Then please come in. Mom has gone shopping for groceries and may be back soon."
I went in. The light in the room was a little dim, and the furniture and furnishings were ordinary, but it looked very clean. The living room was not big, only about ten square meters. This place was completely different from Jordan's previous home.
After I sat down, she immediately made me tea. She smiled and asked me, "Mom, did you really tell you that my name is Muqiao?"
I nodded, "That time, your father and your mother were together, and they invited me to dinner. Your mother said that their child was called Muqiao. By the way, she said that her child was a son. Later, I went
I only found out that you are a girl when I was a guest at your home. By the way, you are in military school, right? Sophomore year?"
She nodded, "Yeah. I will be a junior in college soon. By the way, when were you my mother's colleague?"
I replied: "I used to be the director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. After your mother transferred from the army, she became the deputy director of our department."
She immediately looked at me in surprise, "Are you the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department?"
I laughed "haha", "Yes. There are not many male doctors in the hospital specializing in gynecology. But I don't work in the hospital now, and I just heard the news that your mother has been discharged, so I made a special trip to
It’s up to her.”
From the first time I saw her, I felt that this girl was different from the others. Every word and deed she said showed a kind of strength. Because of this, I walked around casually in front of her.
Mention her parents.
"Thank you." she said.
"How is your mother's condition now? What kind of job is she doing now?" I asked immediately, suddenly feeling that my words seemed a bit abrupt, "Xiaomu, I am your mother's former colleague, and I made a special trip to see her today. Of course I
I’m not here to chat with her, I’m mainly here to see if there’s anything I can do to help her.”
She sighed and said: "Mom stays at home all day now, and only goes out when buying groceries. I am about to start school, and I am really worried about her."
I also sighed in my heart, "Muqiao, don't worry, your mother still has many friends. We will find a solution to her matter. Only by studying hard can your mother rest assured. What do you think?"
She looked at me and then smiled, "My name is not Muqiao. Such an ugly name. This was my name when I was in elementary school, and I changed it later. My name is Mujiao."
So I also laughed, "After seeing your parents, they really hope their child is a son. Mujiao, the pronunciation is different, but the character for Jiao and the character for Qiao look similar."
Just as I was talking, someone opened the door and came in. In front of me was an old lady with white hair. She was holding a vegetable basket. When she saw me, she was so surprised that she froze there.
"Mom, this is your colleague. He said he made a special trip to see you." Mu Jiao immediately went over and took her arm and said.
At this moment, I felt extremely shocked, because I never imagined that the beautiful middle-aged woman would become like this in such a short period of time.
But her surprise was only for a short time. She then handed the vegetable basket to her daughter, "Xiaojiao, take the vegetables to the kitchen, and then go out and play by yourself for a while. I'll have a few words with Teacher Feng."
It's her voice, I'm very familiar with it.
Mu Jiao went out soon, and then she came over and sat down. When I saw her just now, I stood up in shock. Now I sat down with her again and asked her, "Are you okay?"
She didn't answer me, but she started to cry, and then she cried loudly and loudly.
I didn't say anything and kept waiting for her to cry bitterly. I knew that her heart was already filled with sadness but she had nowhere to vent it because her husband was still in prison. As a former colleague of hers, we also had
We have been together like friends. Now that I come to visit her, how can I not arouse the pain in her heart?
She used to be so proud, and her family was so rich and perfect, but everything turned into nothingness overnight. How could she bear such pain? You can tell by looking at her now full head of hair.
How much pain and disappointment is contained in my heart.
She kept crying until it turned into sobbing. Then I handed her my handkerchief and said, "Teacher Qiao, don't be sad. Everything is over."
She took the handkerchief from my hand, wiped her eyes and gave it back to me. Her eyes were red, but she was smiling at me. It was so difficult for this smile to appear on her face.
, I felt it. She said to me: "Feng Xiao, thank you, thank you not only for not hating me, but for coming to see me. Thank you. In front of you, I am really ashamed and extremely ashamed."
Woohoo! Thank you, thank you..."
Her crying sounded again.
I sighed and said to her: "Teacher Qiao, I completely understand why you did that. At that time, you were like a drowning person, and it was only human nature to try to grab a life-saving straw. To be honest, at that time,
I also thought about helping you, but I almost couldn't protect myself. The procuratorate investigated me for a long time, but fortunately I didn't violate any discipline. So there was nothing I could do in that situation."
She wiped her tears with her hands and said, "Feng Xiao, you are a good person, I know. Thank you."
I asked her: "What kind of life are you taking now? Is it difficult for your daughter to pay for her schooling?"
She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "All the money in the family was frozen by the procuratorate and later turned over to the national treasury. But at that time I bought her a house in my daughter's name. I got out and sold it at a low price. Later, I lived here
I rented this house to live in. I still have some money on hand, and if I save a little more, it will be enough for my whole life."
I nodded, thinking that the house she was talking about was sold for at least hundreds of thousands. If prices don’t rise too much in the future, it would be enough to live on for a lifetime. I said, "Let’s find something to do. In this case
The days go by faster. It’s not a problem if you stay at home every day. What do you think?”
She shook her head and said, "Besides treating patients, what else can I do?"
I asked her: "So, what did the affiliated hospital say? They always have something to say to you after you come out, right? Cancel the labor contract? Or give corresponding administrative sanctions? I'm sorry, I just want to ask clearly about the situation. You Qian
Don’t mind it.”
She nodded, "I know. The hospital asked me to sign the document terminating the labor contract, but I haven't signed it yet. I've been in a bad mood recently, and I thought, it doesn't matter if I sign it or not. I came out of there,
It’s natural for people to not want me anymore.”
I used to be the director of the Provincial Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. After what happened in Jiangmei, I remember checking the relevant laws and regulations. After thinking about it, I said: "I remember there seems to be such a rule: working in public institutions
After something like this happens to an employee, if the employee's employer fails to make a decision on the matter and send it to him or her in writing for signature, the employee will still maintain the labor relationship with the original employer. In other words, since you have not yet terminated the labor contract
If you sign the document, you still have a chance to go back to work."
She shook her head and said, "How is that possible? Aren't all the previous members of our department fired from their official positions?"
I thought to myself: It’s hard to say what’s going on now, everything depends on connections. But I’m not sure that this thing will definitely happen, so I said to her: “You’d better not sign for now. I’ll help you first.”
Just ask."
She looked very hesitant, "But if you really let me go back to work, my face..." (To be continued)
