Chapter Thirteen(2/3)
I stood up immediately and said, "Dean Zhang, I want to see my wife. She is hospitalized in the Department of Neurology."
"Wait a minute." He stopped me, and then asked me: "Is your wife's condition better?"
I shook my head, "It's still the same."
He sighed, "You have suffered enough."
I thought to myself: Why is it not bitter? Otherwise, how could you even win your daughter?
He opened his drawer and took out a large envelope from it, "Xiao Feng, I could handle these invoices originally. But now my situation is quite special, and most of these invoices are from Beijing. So.
I just want to trouble you to think of a solution..."
I hurriedly picked it up and said, "I will definitely find a way."
He smiled at me. I knew it was time for me to leave now, so I hurriedly said: "Dean Zhang, then I'm going to see my wife."
He said: "I also want to have a good talk with your father-in-law, please help me make an appointment."
I felt a little strange, "Didn't you ask him out? He wouldn't refuse, would he?"
He shook his head and said: "I think it would be better if you make an appointment with him. After all, he is your father-in-law."
I understood immediately: he didn't want to make things awkward, and hoped to coordinate the relationship through me as a middleman. After all, I am Lin Yi's son-in-law.
I can't refuse.
After I came out of his office, I was thinking: Hey, he offered such attractive terms, it turned out that he was not just for me to reimburse him. In fact, for him, the invoices in the envelope in my hand were not
It's not a big problem. Sometimes when a leader causes trouble for the people below him, it is also a way of showing trust.
I also knew that the invoices in my hand must have been purchased by Zhang Shiyu in Beijing. I couldn’t help but sigh.
"Director Feng, are you busy?" I was sighing when I heard someone calling me. I hurriedly looked up and found out that it was the director of the Retirement Department. I suddenly remembered something, "Recently I gave you
My mother-in-law told me not to go to my house for the time being because my wife is in the hospital."
"I was just talking about that. From now on..." he asked me.
"It will take a while. I still want to take her back. After all, it is easy to get infected in the hospital." I said.
"Great. I also asked my mother-in-law to return part of the money to you," he said.
"No. I'm sorry. She's very attentive, and I feel like I've treated her badly." I said apologetically.
"Director Feng is such a good man. Everyone in the hospital is praising you." He praised me with a smile.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed. Now I realize that such praise is also a heavy burden for me.
I almost left in a fleeing state of mind, but what I said in my mouth was: "I'm going to see my wife soon. We'll talk about it later. I'll notify your mother-in-law then."
Chen Yuan's condition has not changed at all. I went to see the director of the Department of Neurology. The director told me that various examinations have been done on Chen Yuan, including brain tests, cerebral blood flow diagrams, etc., but nothing was found.
There is something abnormal, but no effective treatment has been found. "Judging from the current situation, the reason your nanny saw her crying may be because the tear glands were stimulated. Of course, the possibility of temporary awakening cannot be ruled out. So.
, I think we should still use the calling method. But this method needs to be persisted."
I think what he said was tantamount to saying, "I want to take her back. You see..."
"Just stay in the hospital. The conditions here are better. And Director Zhang just called me. He told me that the hospital will reduce your wife's fee by half," the director said.
I didn't expect Dean Zhang to think so carefully. At the same time, I considered that if I took Chen Yuan back now, Dean Zhang would definitely think that I didn't appreciate his favor. You know, a leader's kindness is also a form of trust.
That's the way. So I said: "Then let's stay in the hospital for a while and see. It's not a matter of cost. I think it's not convenient to live in the hospital, and it also takes up your hospital bed."
"It's nothing. We all belong to the same hospital. Don't have so many worries," the director said with a smile.
Of course I won't say that I'm worried about infection. This is a kind of distrust towards him and will make him unhappy. This is the case among colleagues. Many things must be tolerated and maintained by each other.
After coming out of the neurology department, I found a text message on my phone: I'm waiting for you at the teahouse outside your hospital.
It's Tong Yao.
I hurriedly looked at the time and found that the message was sent two minutes ago. I was stunned. At this moment, I suddenly felt uneasy. Because of what happened last night.
Last night, Tong Yao told me on the phone that she was busy at the time and that she would call me today. At that time, I thought she was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that she would actually come to see me today.
However, I don’t think she came to me just because of what happened last night, because I don’t think she would talk like that. But I still feel uneasy and embarrassed. After all, she is a policeman and she is talking to me.
We have a pretty good relationship with each other. It’s very embarrassing for something like this to happen to me.
There is only this teahouse near our hospital, which is where she brought Tong Yangxi to see me last time. As expected, she was in this teahouse, in a close position.
She was looking at me and smiling. My face was getting hot.
I hesitated and sat across from her, and I had to take the initiative to talk about what happened last night, "Tong Yao, thank you for what happened yesterday."
She suppressed the smile on her face and sighed, "You! Who is Zhang Shiyu?"
I was stunned because I didn't know how she knew Zhang Shiyu. Because I heard clearly last night that the policeman didn't tell her who the person with me was.
"Recently, there have been some high-end prostitutes renting rooms in hotels for prostitution. That's why the police noticed you last night. And they found out that Zhang Shiyu went to book the room. This thing made them feel strange, because it is very common for women to take the initiative to book rooms.
Rarely, unless that's the case." She glanced at me and continued.
I understood immediately, but I didn’t want to reveal Zhang Shiyu’s identity, so I replied: “She is not a **. She is my friend.”
She smiled faintly, "I checked and found out that Zhang Shiyu is the daughter of your Dean Zhang. It's easy to find out her family situation from the ID card she used to open a room."
I was speechless for a moment.
"Feng Xiao, I understand you. Because I know your wife's current situation very well. However, this is not the reason for your living in poverty? Do you think so?" She immediately criticized me.
I was a little ashamed and a little angry at the same time, "Tong Yao, Officer Tong, this is my private matter. You have the right to interfere in my private matter. Anyway, I have not broken any laws and I have not solicited prostitution. Also, I don't want you to tell this matter."
, after all, she is still so young, and her father is still a leader."
"Feng Xiao, I have not interfered with your private life, and I will not tell this matter. However, I am your friend. As a friend, I feel that I should remind you. Because I feel that I know you very well, because I
I know you are a good person with a kind heart. I also know that your unruliness is not your nature, but because you are too bitter and lonely inside. So I am very worried about you. You are a good person in everything.
, I just have weak willpower, and I am confused. I always feel that I am just a doctor, so I don’t think about the impact that some things may have on you. Feng Xiao, I really came here out of concern for you.
What do you think I’m talking about when I say these things to you? To be honest, if you weren’t my friend, I wouldn’t bother to care about these things. I really don’t want to watch you sink like this,” she said.
, very sincere and heartbroken.
I was immediately moved by her, but I couldn't accept her accusations and criticisms in front of me. After all, I am a man. You know, men have the face of men, and it is difficult for a man to bear such accusations from a woman in front of her.
and criticized. However, I felt that I was right because I didn't know how to answer her, because what she said was very reasonable and had good intentions. Although I was depraved, I understood the truth.
"Do you like her? This is the poem." She continued to ask me.
Her question gave me a clue, so I answered with a wry smile: "How is that possible? My heart has already died."
She was sighing, "Feng Xiao, your wife is like this. If you have a regular lover outside, I don't think others will blame you. I don't think even your father-in-law, Boss Lin, will say anything about you."
.Because after all, you are still very young and a living man. But, you are like this... Feng Xiao, do you understand what I mean? It is not good for you to be like this."
I also sighed, "Actually, I know it myself. But sometimes I just can't control myself. You're right, I really think that I am just a little doctor and I don't need to take into account some influencing issues."
"Then have you ever thought about putting a tight spell on your head? Maybe this way your sense of responsibility will be stronger. In fact, each of us has our own weaknesses, and there is a desire to indulge deep in our hearts. Some people
People with strong willpower can exercise self-restraint and consciously abide by social ethics and morals, but some people... Hehe! People like you, for example, need external forces to force you to abide by many restrictions." She suddenly laughed.
He stood up and then said: "Feng Xiao, maybe you don't understand what I mean. I'm worried that you will make mistakes in this regard in the future. In this case, it won't be worth it. One is a woman's problem, and the other is money. I'm very worried.
I’m worried that you can’t control yourself. In fact, life is very short, and it’s not worth it if you break the law because of temporary indulgence. Do you think so?”
I shook my head, "I won't break the law. I'm very careful about this."
She sighed, "Sometimes it's hard to say. As your friend, it's my responsibility to remind you. But there's nothing you can do if you don't pay attention."
I suddenly felt that she took some problems too seriously, and it was very unreasonable, "Tong Yao, why do you always like to look at people through colored glasses when you are a police officer? What happened last night really embarrassed me, and in front of you
I also feel ashamed, but I am disgusted by the way you police officers behave. Why do you say that a man and a woman are soliciting prostitution? And they just rush into the room and don't care about other people's privacy and human rights? Don't you?
Do you think this is excessive?"
Indeed, originally I didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, and it made me feel very ashamed, but because of my anger, I couldn't help but question her loudly, and the more I talked, the angrier I became.
But she smiled faintly, "Last night was a special situation. It was a joint operation, a staged operation. So there is not so much emphasis on the method. To be honest, Feng Xiao, you were very lucky last night, because those two
The policeman's attitude is not bad, and he happens to know me. Otherwise, the consequences would be difficult to say. Yes, what you said makes sense, but this is the case in our country, and this has always been a characteristic. Do you know? What time was it in the 1980s?
How many people were shot during the first severe crackdown? In 1983, there was a young man named Wang in Naxi, Luzhou, Sichuan. His companions made a bet with him on the road: Do you dare to kiss a girl on the mouth? As a result, he actually kissed a passing girl. He was killed.
After being caught, he was sentenced to death and shot. A young man from Beijing saw a foreign girl's shirt being torn off while she was fighting with others on the street. He impulsively touched her and was shot. There was even a worker because
I was caught peeking into the women's restroom twice and lost my head. Such things were common in the previous special crackdowns. This is a characteristic of our country. It's much better now, you have to admit it, right? Feng Xiao, so I say you
Lucky enough. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let me ask you, since you don't like this poem, then I can only understand that it is your impulse. But what about Azhu? Do you like her?
?”
What she said first shocked me because I had no idea about the severe crackdowns in the 1980s. Now when I heard what she said, I took a breath of air. So much so that I didn’t even hear what she said clearly. "
Ah Zhu? What’s wrong with Ah Zhu?”
"Last time you came to see me and asked me to help you check whether A-Zhu went abroad. Is this a matter?" she asked me.
I nodded, but still didn't understand what she meant.
"A-Zhu left Jiangnan. I think something must have happened between you and her, right? A-Zhu likes you very much, right?" she asked me.
