I stayed at Zhuang Qing's place for nearly two hours. I mainly applied heat compresses to her and also gave her some medicine. What made me feel a little strange was that she rarely spoke today.
During those nearly two hours, she snuggled in my arms, and we still watched TV together under the covers like that night. In fact, she didn’t watch TV at all, because her head was always on my side.
On the chest.
The hot towel on my hand was always on that part of her, and I would twist it again about every ten minutes and continue to apply heat to her. In the middle of the process, I tried to talk to her, because I felt that there was this silence between us.
I felt a little uncomfortable. But as soon as I finished speaking, she interrupted me, "Feng Xiao, don't talk. I don't want to talk."
That was it until I left.
When I left, I lifted the quilt and took a look at her lower body. I found that the redness and swelling there had eased, "Zhuang Qing, I'm leaving."
"Yeah." She only responded to me with one sentence.
After thinking about it, I said to her again: "Zhuang Qing, you have to take care of your body. You have been a nurse, so there are some things I don't need to say."
"Yeah." She still said the same word.
I sighed in my heart and left.
The next morning, the old director went to visit the director of the National Admissions Office. He took the gift with him.
Now I fully realize the importance of the office director. In fact, the reason is very simple. This time I came to Beijing to ask for help, and I am so unfamiliar with this place. So I can only go through the office link.
I went to contact the leadership above.
Someone has said that the office is the department that is most likely to attract attention and at the same time most easily ignored. Now I have a full understanding of this.
The old director came back after ten o'clock in the morning. He told me that Minister Dou had arranged to meet us tomorrow morning.
When I got the news, I immediately became excited. This incident already explained the problem: the matter was basically solved.
The old director smiled and said to me: "The gift we prepared is good, and the office director likes it very much."
I said to Director Liang: "Director Liang, your contribution is not small."
He also looked very happy, "This is all the result of your correct leadership, Director Feng."
I laughed "Haha", "Director Liang, why have you learned to flatter me like this?" Then I asked the old director: "When will the gifts from the deputy directors be delivered?"
The old director thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until Minister Dou meets with us tomorrow. Director Feng, what do you think?"
I shook my head and said: "Since these things have been bought, it is impossible to return them. Besides, we will have to contact the state recruitment office for many work-related matters in the future, so let's send them away first. No matter whether this matter can be handled or not
Yes, they all need to be sent. What do you think?"
The old director smiled and said: "Director Feng, you decide. But I agree with you. This approach is much more grand."
I immediately said to Director Liang: "Please ask your classmate, Director Wu, if he is back? We still need her help to send a car."
He replied: "It seems she is back. She accompanied Governor Huang to Beijing for a meeting. She arrived yesterday afternoon."
I was suddenly pleasantly surprised: Governor Huang is here? If we are going to invite Minister Dou to dinner, wouldn’t it be best if he attends?
Of course, I was just thinking in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud, because now I'm not sure whether Minister Dou will agree to our invitation.
The whole afternoon and evening turned into a long wait.
During this period, I received several calls, first from Wu Shuang, "Director Feng, I have arranged the car you want. I heard that Minister Dou has arranged to meet you, so I would like to congratulate you in advance."
.”
Although I was a little disgusted with her, I had to thank her. Originally, I wanted to ask her what she had said to Zhuang Qing, but I gave up. Now that it has happened, let’s go again
Talking about this matter can easily lead to extraneous matters.
Then Qu Jin and Xu Ruhui called me respectively. The purpose of their calls was to thank me for the gift. I said it was just a small thing, just a little thought from me.
In fact, I also know that it is just a courtesy for them to call me. For them, such things may not be taken seriously.
Xia Lan only called me late in the afternoon. Judging from the time the three of them called, Zhuang Qing should have handed over my gifts to them at noon today.
I immediately felt relieved because it also showed that Zhuang Qing's body had basically recovered.
"Thank you for your gift." Xia Lan said.
"You're welcome. We are all friends, just be careful." I have said this to Qu Jin and Xu Ruhui respectively, and I feel a little tired of it myself.
She asked me: "Are the things you gave me and the things you gave them the same?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood the meaning of her question. I hurriedly said: "I asked my men to bring this from Jiangnan. I didn't go back, so I didn't give it to you alone.
Get ready. Xia Lan, you are good friends. I will ask Zhuang Qing to hand it over to you as well. Wouldn't it be better this way?"
I said this to remind her that it is best not to let other people know about the things between us.
She said: "I didn't say anything wrong? I like your gift very much. Do you have anything to do tonight? Can we have a meal together?"
I said, "I have other arrangements for dinner tonight, and I have to go to the state to recruit people tomorrow. I'm going to be very busy recently."
She then asked me: "Then, what happens after you finish eating?"
I said: "Xia Lan, it took a lot of effort to figure out the things on my side. Recently, I have to spend more time to deal with this matter. I hope you can understand."
Her voice immediately turned resentful, "You men are like this, you no longer cherish it when you get it."
I was a little tired of her behavior. But I could only speak to her properly, "Xia Lan, I'm really busy. Please understand."
She said: "Whatever you want. I know you are very busy."
When she said this, I felt a little guilty, "Well, I'll call you after I've sorted everything out. Okay?"
Her voice still had that resentful tone, "Okay. But I don't know if I'll be in Beijing when you're free. I'm going to go filming on location in a few days."
I immediately understood that she just wanted me to be with her tonight. I said, "Well, let's do that. I'll contact you after dinner tonight."
She immediately became happy, "Do you still remember where I live?"
I said: "Remember. I will come directly when the time comes."
Her voice immediately became gentle, "Feng Xiao, you are so kind. I will wait for you..."
I immediately hung up her phone because I couldn't stand the temptation of her voice, and then I impulsively told her to go to her place right away. (To be continued)
