After Chang Hai City's investment environment optimization conference, the happiest people were the foreign businessmen. They spread the news by word of mouth to their hometown and other places. In a short period of time, many foreign businessmen came to Chang Hai City to invest and set up businesses.
Last night, it rained heavily, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.
The provincial health director came to check on the work. When he had lunch at Changhai Building, he was very unhappy when he saw that the secretary and chief of Changhai City were not accompanying him. In the afternoon, he was very dissatisfied with Changhai First Hospital's checkup. Du Bin had no choice but to attend the dinner party. He drank a lot of wine and complimented the director for a long time. Only then did the director of the Health Department's face turn bright and he promised to give Changhai First Hospital three million yuan for equipment.
When Du Bin came out of the Changhai Building, the thunder in the dark sky was getting louder and louder. He was inexplicably worried as he looked up at the lightning in the distance. Executive Vice President Jiang Zhencai came in Du Bin's car, so he naturally had to take his car back. In the car, Du Bin said," Zhencai, you said that I toasted the provincial health director at the wine table just now. I complimented him a few more times, and he immediately said that he wanted to give us three million yuan for medical equipment. I suddenly had an immature idea.”
"What good idea? Tell me." Jiang Zhencai burped and said.
" I was thinking that we shouldn't underestimate this receptionist." Du Bin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, probably felt that it was inconvenient to talk, so he turned his head and said," It seems that drinking and receiving guests is a big deal!”
"What's the big deal?" Jiang Zhencai burped again. He opened his sleepy eyes and said," For the sake of those nitpicking grandpas, we have to pretend to be grandpas, drink with them, and put in good words for them. We've had a belly full of alcohol, and we've been drinking like this all day long. Our stomachs have long been spoiled!”He burped again.
"Drinking and receiving guests is also a form of productivity!”Du Bin swallowed the sour water that had surged up with a pained expression and said," We just drank a few glasses of wine with them and pretended to be a grandson for a while, and they gave you three million. Don't you understand? You're even the executive vice president!"
" If you put it that way, I agree," Jiang Zhencai said." We took 10,000 yuan as a hospitality fee and exchanged it for 3 million yuan. This deal is too good.”
"Am I right?" Du Bin smiled proudly and turned his head forward.
"It's worth it, it's indeed worth it!" Jiang Zhencai was still mulling over Du Bin's words.
Back at the dormitory, Li Jinbiao called Du Bin to tell him that he had helped Changhai City with the land approval procedures in the provincial capital. The director of the provincial finance department had also agreed to allocate 50 million yuan to Changhai City as start-up funds. Du Bin was very happy. He expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Jinbiao and invited him to bring a few of his bosses to Changhai City to sign the investment contract as soon as possible.
The next morning, the storm stopped. Du Bin woke up at 5:20 am, and the gorgeous morning glow shone through the curtains. Du Bin felt relaxed all over. After putting on his clothes, he jogged towards the swimming pool by the river.
However, an unexpected thing caused his mood to plummet.
After becoming the chief, Du Bin did not remove his title as the honorary president of the winter swimming association. If there was anything the association needed, the president would always look for him. Du Bin also tried his best to help the Winter Swimming Association in terms of funds and manpower.
The president was naturally very happy that the chief had come. He accompanied him to swim to the poplar forest on the other side. It had been a long time since he had exercised. When he reached the grassy island in the middle of the river, Du Bin felt a little tired and said,"Let's rest for a while." He took the lead and walked onto the grassy island.
After the rain, the green grass was tender and fragrant, making Du Bin feel refreshed. They stretched their arms and legs around the grassy island. Du Bin gasped for breath and said," Sigh, my physical strength is running out. I just swam more than 200 meters and I can't swim anymore."”
"You're the leader now. You have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders and you have a lot of things to worry about, but don't be too anxious.”The president consoled.
"Yes, my body collapsed and I have nothing left.”Du Bin agreed.
" Chief Du," the president stopped in his tracks and looked at Du Bin's face." Before you came, the scolding at our winter swimming pool was already in full swing.”
"Oh, what did you say?" Du Bin stopped twisting his waist and looked at the president.
"I heard that the disabled woman committed suicide." The guild leader said.
"The disabled woman committed suicide?" Du Bin's face, which was illuminated by the bright sunlight, was filled with confusion." Which disabled woman?"”
"She's the daughter of the widow who set herself on fire when Lin Ming and the others forcibly moved her.”When the president saw Du Bin ask, he thought that Du Bin had forgotten about this matter. He was a little dissatisfied in his heart. The smile on his face was restrained, and his tone of speech was also a lot stiffer.
Du Bin remembered that time when he lost his temper at the First Hospital of Tailing City and asked the Director of Construction, Huang Yong, to send the disabled woman to the First Hospital of Tailing City overnight. He had never seen her again. Later, the widow's life was saved. It was said that she had been discharged from the hospital last week. Now that the president said this, Du Bin's heart skipped a beat. He frowned and secretly blamed himself for forgetting to visit the mother and daughter again.
"Why did he commit suicide?" The bulging muscles on Du Bin's cheeks were like two question marks, and they were as red as a branding iron.
"Why else?" Although the president's face was bathed in the bright morning sun, his expression was a little angry." After the poor mother and daughter returned, they were placed in a small bungalow in the east of the city by the Construction Bureau. Her family didn't even have any pots and pans to live on. They were all smashed by a shovel when they were forced to move. The kind neighbors gave her a few old ones, which were barely enough to cook the food and fill her stomach. However, who would have thought that there would be a heavy downpour last night? The house was leaking like a water curtain hole. The widow's burns, which had not fully healed, were drenched by the rain. Her entire body felt uncomfortable and she started to burn. The poor disabled woman could not even take care of herself. How could she have the ability to take care of her mother? Alas, in that situation, the poor and helpless child had lost all hope and confidence in life. This morning, while her mother was asleep, she pulled the wire and committed suicide.”
After the president finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and sighed."What a sin! What a sin!" With that, he spat on the ground, jumped into the water without looking back, and swam toward the poplar forest on the opposite bank.
Although the morning sun was warm after the rain, Du Bin's heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice hole. He walked into the water in silence, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and swam back alone. When he reached the shore, many people greeted him politely. However, Du Bin saw that behind their sincere greetings, there was a pot of curses and complaints.
