A week later, the anxious Du Bin flew back to Provincial City from the south with Cong Hua.
He had flown back in advance. There was an important wood processing project that needed to be discussed, but he canceled it at the last minute.
Because Fu Ran had called him yesterday afternoon to tell him that Gao Qingping, the secretary of the municipal party committee, had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and it was in the late stage. He was being hospitalized in the provincial hospital for a follow-up. After putting down the phone, Du Bin was stunned for a long time. Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that this bad news that fell from the sky was true. How he hoped that this was a joke Fu Ran was playing on him. He even imagined that today was April Fool's Day.
However, reality was so hard and cold. Fu Ran, who was over fifty years old and mature, would not joke about this! Even if it was April Fool's Day, no one would joke about the secretary of the municipal party committee with a chief!
Heavens, heavens! Gao Qingping was such a clean and upright person. He was such a good partner, class monitor, and teacher! Could it be that it was really as the common people had said for thousands of years, that good people did not live long?
Du Bin could not accept this cruel reality!
Du Bin was in a terrible mood. There was a gloomy and sluggish whirlwind that enveloped him.
Wang Chao and the office director came to the airport to pick him up. Du Bin got off the plane, his face ashen. He simply shook hands with them and got into Wang Chao's car.
Everyone got into the car in silence, and the group of people took the car to the provincial hospital.
Gao Qingping's face was ashen, and he was sleeping on the hospital bed. When his wife saw Du Bin come in, her eyes reddened and she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Du Bin glanced at the sleeping Gao Depeng and held his wife's hand tightly. He held her shoulder with one hand and comforted her in a low voice,"Don't be too sad, Sister-in-law. You have to take care of yourself too!”Gao Qingping's wife felt a lump in her throat. Her lips trembled and she could not speak. She pointed to the sofa beside her and invited Du Bin to sit.
Du Bin didn't sit down. Instead, he walked straight to the bed and looked at Gao Qingping, who had lost so much weight after not seeing him for ten days. Sister-in-law wanted to shake the camera awake, but Du Bin stopped her with reddened eyes. When they reached the corridor, Du Bin said to the office director,"The only task of your office at the moment is to accompany Secretary Gao in the hospital. Transfer two of your waitresses over and take turns to serve Secretary Gao. Tell our chefs to make more nutritious and delicious dishes and send them over while they're hot.”
"Don't worry, Chief Du," the director nodded.”
"Let me tell you, if anything goes wrong, I won't be polite!”Du Bin said as he walked towards the director's office. The director was an old professor in his sixties. Du Bin begged him to do his best to treat Gao Qingping's illness. No matter what methods were used or how much money was spent, he would guarantee it.
The old principal said," The treatment methods for Secretary Gao's illness are similar no matter where you go. Our hospital's current treatment methods are already the most advanced in the world. However, if you want to maintain it for a longer period of time, you have to use imported drugs. That would cost a lot." The old Principal looked at Du Bin in confusion.
"No matter how much it costs!" Du Bin gritted his teeth again and said," As long as Secretary Gao can live a little longer, we'll pay whatever it takes! You can give him imported drugs.”
Walking out of the hospital, Du Bin took out his phone and called the director of the finance department, asking him to immediately allocate 1 million yuan to the provincial office for Secretary Gao's treatment. Probably feeling that the one-time allocation was too much, the finance director hesitated. Du Bin was furious and shouted into the microphone,"Why are you so long-winded! Are you the leader or am I the leader? Damn it, let me tell you, immediately allocate the funds, not a single cent less!”
Du Bin didn't wait for the other party to say anything and turned off his phone.
At this moment, a stream of tears finally flowed out of her eyes, surging and dripping down her face onto her collar and the ground. Du Bin sniffed loudly and used his hand to wipe his tears. The back of his hand was wet, but the more he wiped, the more tears welled up.
"Let's go." Du Bin said to everyone in a nasal voice. Seeing the chief crying so sadly, everyone also shed tears of sadness.
Sitting in the car, Wang Chao silently handed over a pack of tissues. Du Bin took out a few to wipe his tears. He was indeed very sad. Why did such a good person get a terminal illness? The heavens were jealous of talents! I just met a good big brother and a good class monitor. Our political honeymoon hasn't ended yet. Changhai City's development plan hasn't even started yet. The blueprint has just been drawn. How did Secretary Gao get cancer? Du Bin couldn't figure it out no matter what!
When he returned home, Du Bin was still in low spirits. She sat on the sofa and watched TV silently. Yafen fried four of Du Bin's favorite dishes. He wasn't in the mood to eat them, and it was like chewing wax in his mouth. He just took a few mouthfuls and went back to his room.
The next morning, Du Bin called Li Jinbiao and asked him to postpone his trip to Changhai City and immediately hire the best medical expert in the province to diagnose and operate on Gao Qingping.
After giving his instructions and making the necessary arrangements, Du Bin brought Cong Hua back to Chang Hai City. He originally wanted to fly straight to the south. He was still thinking about the major wood processing project and wanted to talk to them again. He wanted to use his sincerity to move them and invite them to invest and build a factory in Changhai. But now, Gao Qingping was hospitalized in the provincial capital. If he flew south, there would be no one in charge of Changhai City. There were numerous miscellaneous matters there every day, waiting for him to go back and make decisions to deal with. During the few days that Gao Qingping had been hospitalized, Changhai City's leaders of all levels had been calling him for work instructions. His phone was about to explode. There were people asking for instructions almost 24 hours a day.
The car was about to reach Tailing City. Deputy Shi Lin Ming called Du Bin's phone and said that he was in Tailing City with Jin Taichang. He heard that Du Bin was coming back today and wanted to treat him to a meal in Tailing. In the end, he casually added," This was also Jin Taichang's intention. He had long wanted to treat Chief Du to a meal and chat.”
Lin Ming said that Jin Taichang wanted to treat him to a meal, and Du Bin was very disgusted.
Jin Taichang was the wealthiest private boss in Changhai City besides Sun Deze. His wealth was mainly due to the gold mine. It was said that he occupied the best gold mine in Changhai City. Although the city's financial income could not be separated from the support of these big bosses, Du Bin looked down on these uncultured nouveau riche who became rich by evading taxes or embezzling state property and resources, but were rude and overbearing. He didn't want to get too close to them. Not only would he be covered in shit, but he would also be easily blackmailed because he had accepted their money and seek improper personal gain for them. However, Du Bin knew that as the chief of the Shi clan, he could not afford to offend them. At the very least, they were his God of Fortune! Lin Ming said that he wanted to have a simple meal, but a big boss like Jin Taichang would definitely treat him to a four-star hotel, and it would be very luxurious.
Jin Taichang must have something to ask of him for spending so much money.
Du Bin asked Lin Ming to pass the phone to Jin Taichang and said,""I'm really sorry, Boss Jin. My car has already passed through Tailing City and is about to enter Changhai. Thank you for your kindness. If there's a chance in the future, I'll treat all of you who are the big tax-paying households supporting Changhai City's economy to a drink.”
Du Bin told Wang Chao to speed up and rush to Changhai. He called his middle school classmate Ma Deliang and said,""What, you're awesome just because you're the Secretary of the Political and Law Committee? Why didn't you invite me to your sister's Hui Min Restaurant to eat steamed dumplings? You want me to die of hunger?”
" You're fooling me," Ma Deliang said doubtfully." Aren't you recruiting in the south?”
" If you don't want to treat me, don't give me excuses," Du Bin said impatiently." Hurry up and call your sister Ma Shujun. Tell her to roast the lamb leg and tell her that I miss her lamb leg."”
Ma Deliang scolded on the other side of the phone,"Get lost, you. Don't make fun of my sister. How rude!"”
After being scolded by Ma Delang, Du Bin burst out laughing. Why? According to what he learned from the last meal, Ma Delang's sister, Ma Shujun, was born in the year of the sheep. He said that he missed Ma Shujun's lamb leg. After thinking about it carefully, it was a pun!
