As long as she called me and explained to me like this, it already means that her words cannot be doubted. You know, she is no longer the Zhuang Qing she used to be. If it weren't for the fact that she still remembers us
If there was a friendship between them, there is absolutely no need to do this.
At this moment, in addition to being excited, I actually felt flattered. Yes, she is different now, so much so that I feel like I look up to her. And this feeling is a natural reaction, maybe between people
This change is also inevitable.
"I have nothing to do. I just want to call and ask how you are doing recently. I haven't contacted you for a long time. By the way, your brother came to see me today. I have already arranged his affairs for him." I said, surprisingly.
I felt a little panicked, so I not only spoke faster, but also seemed a little disorganized. Perhaps, I was mainly trying to hide the purpose of making this call, and more importantly, to restrain my subconscious look up to her.
We are friends, why should we be so cautious? After saying this, I felt a little angry at myself.
She said: "My brother is like that sometimes. He originally came from the countryside, but he has become unwilling to endure hardship. Feng Xiao, I'm so sorry that he bothered you with such a trivial matter."
I said: "It's okay. I definitely have to take care of his affairs. Zhuang Qing, I think you can find a way to help him arrange a better job, such as working in your crew to provide logistics services or something, and then replace him."
He opens a store, after all, that is the long-term solution. What do you think?"
She said: "Let's talk about it later. Now I still hope that he will do specific things in a down-to-earth manner for a period of time. After all, he has just left the countryside not long ago, so I am worried that if I invest in opening a store for him, he will lose all his money soon."
I think so, "That's okay. If you need my help, just let me know at any time."
She said, her voice suddenly became fainter, "Feng Xiao, do you think we have become too polite to each other? I know, this is because we are no longer as casual with each other as we used to be. Why?
What will happen?"
I was silent for a moment. Why didn't I feel such a change between us? And I had already felt it.
She continued: "Feng Xiao, what do you mean by this person? He is successful in his career, but he has no friends. Do you think we should have our own careers or should we have friends?"
I said: "Of course it's best to have both."
Her voice was still faint, "But, can it be done?"
Of course I understood what she meant, "Zhuang Qing, you are different now. You are already a public figure. Some things will have an adverse impact on you once they are discovered. So you should be more careful."
.”
She immediately became excited, "I am a woman and a single woman. I have to have a boyfriend, right?"
I said calmly, "Zhuang Qing, no one is interfering with your boyfriend. The key to the problem is that you don't seem to want to think about your marriage yet, right? Because you still value your career as more important.
This is actually understandable. After all, people in your profession are so special, and the audience may prefer you to be single. Right?"
This time, she stopped talking. After a while, I heard her call me softly on the phone, "Feng Xiao..."
I responded: "Yeah. Listen."
She said: "I really want to see you now and be with you."
My heart suddenly became turbulent, "Zhuang Qing..."
She said: "Let's go to Lijiang. Let's go to that ancient town and stay for two days. Is that okay?"
I was immediately startled by her words, "A place like that! Aren't you worried about others recognizing you?"
She said: "Anyway, I just want to see you right away. Then tell me a place."
I seemed to understand that her decision was entirely based on impulse at the moment, so I asked her: "Aren't you busy recently?"
She replied: "No matter how busy you are, you still have to celebrate the Spring Festival, right?"
I said: "Then you should go back to Jiangnan, and you can go home to see your parents."
She said: "I will take them to Beijing after the Spring Festival. I bought them a house here."
It seems like she does make a lot of money. I thought to myself, "Will they get used to it?"
She said: "I bought a small villa in the suburbs of Beijing. There is a piece of land next to it to grow crops. They should be more accustomed to it."
I said, "That's right. You are so filial."
She said: "This is not a matter of filial piety or not. It is what children should do, right? As long as you have such conditions."
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, because I immediately thought of my parents.
She continued: "Think about it quickly, I want to meet you tomorrow."
But I can't leave at all recently? I suddenly became embarrassed, but it was not convenient to express my embarrassment. However, my heart was very excited and even difficult to restrain. Suddenly, I was also impulsive, "
Let’s go to Lijiang.”
Yes, no matter how busy you are at work, you can put it down. After all, some work cannot be completed in one day, and many things cannot be started until after the Spring Festival. I said to myself in my heart.
This is sometimes the case, as long as we are willing to do something, we can always find a reasonable reason for ourselves.
So I hurriedly went online to check the flight schedule, and found that there was a regular flight to Kunming in an hour tonight. I was immediately excited, hurriedly packed a few clothes, carried a small suitcase, and went out.
When I was in the car, I called the deputy director of the hospital office, "I'm going out to hold an academic conference tomorrow. If there is anything urgent in the unit, please call me immediately. My phone will be on 24 hours a day."
of."
But he reminded me: "President Feng, according to the rules of previous years, our hospital must pay New Year's greetings to the leaders of the Department of Health before the Spring Festival. The district government where our hospital is located also has to pay New Year's greetings to them."
I suddenly felt embarrassed. After thinking about it, I said, "Let Dean Chu go on my behalf. Ask him to explain it to me."
He said, "Isn't this good? You are the principal. If you don't go, people will be unhappy."
I think so, "The day after tomorrow. I'll go after I come back the day after tomorrow. It shouldn't be too late. You should prepare the things you need for New Year greetings first."
He asked me: "How do you think you should prepare?"
I immediately became unhappy, "What was done in the past will be done this year. Do you need to ask me about such a thing?"
He hurriedly said: "Dean Feng, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask if you have any other arrangements. In the past, we used to give red envelopes to the leaders and give each person a calendar. Because it involves cash and there is no
It’s an invoice, so you have to sign it before you can take out the money.”
I asked, "How much did each person cost in previous years?"
He said: "The main leaders of the Department of Health each have 5,000 yuan, and each director has 2,000 yuan. The leaders in charge in the district also have this standard, and the rest mainly consider the directors of their two offices."
I was shocked by his words, "So much? How much money do you need to give away during the Spring Festival?"
He said: "There is no way. After all, we have to be controlled by them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to do a lot of work in the future."
I immediately became angry, "I won't give them away this year. Let's just treat them to a meal after the Spring Festival. Is it easy for us to make money? It's so heartbreaking to give away so much money like that."
He hurriedly said: "Dean Feng, this..."
I said: "Okay, that's it. I don't believe they will really make things difficult for us in the future because we don't send money. What do the Health Department and the district government do? Aren't they just to solve our problems? That's
Their responsibilities."
Then I hung up the phone and said angrily: "What is all this about?"
In fact, I have another thought in my mind: The Health Department doesn't care. I believe that Secretary Qiu will never embarrass me because of this matter. Because I have already considered going to pay him New Year's greetings in private. As for the district government... they closed our hospital.
whats the matter?
I'll try to come back tomorrow night, the day after tomorrow at the latest. Now I just need to go meet Zhuang Qing. I thought to myself.
Yes, I really want to see her right now. Zhuang Qing, this is a woman who occupies an important position in my life. I can never forget her. Even if I may not contact her for a while, she
The shadow will always exist deep in my heart.
Perhaps, there is another kind of thing involved here? Is this love?
I arrived in Kunming three hours later, and it was already midnight. In the taxi from the airport to the city, I sent a text message to Zhuang Qing: I have arrived in Kunming, and I will go to Lijiang early tomorrow morning. (Unfinished)
