Chapter 14 fourth quarter

This morning, Mayor Jiang flew to Guangzhou from Ningyang to visit his wife. The mayor's wife is still in a coma, unaware of the mayor's arrival. The mayor came and went in a hurry, stayed with his wife for an hour, and then went back home. Before leaving, Mayor Jiang grabbed my arm, didn't say anything, just looked at me.But through his eyes, I can see his worry and trust in me. I said: "Mayor Jiang, don't worry about going back. I am here for everything." I looked at Jiang Xiaoyong who was also on the side, "There is also Xiaoyong." Mayor Jiang looked at his son Jiang Xiaoyong and said, "You have to listen to Deputy Mayor Zhang."

Jiang Xiaoyong glanced at me and nodded to his father. Mayor Jiang didn't ask me to take him to the airport, nor did Jiang Xiaoyong.He took a taxi and left. Then, the two cars from Ningyang arrived in Guangzhou.I handed over my Buick to Jiang Xiaoyong along with the driver Wei Hai. Jiang Xiaoyong said: "The driver is free, I can drive myself." The driver Wei Hai gave me the car keys, and I gave the keys to Jiang Xiaoyong.Jiang Xiaoyong thanked him and drove away. The driver, Wei Hai, stared blankly at his fixed car, being driven away by others, as if his job had been deprived of his job by others.

I said, "Wei Hai, Jiang Xiaoyong is only using the car temporarily. When the mayor's wife gets sick...he will return the car to us." The unrestrained Wei Hai said, "Can the mayor's wife recover from her illness?" I said, "That's fine, otherwise why are we here?" Wei Hai said, "What am I doing now? I don't have a car." "Play in Guangzhou for a few days." I said. "How many days later?" Wei Hai said. I said, "Keep playing." The doctor in charge told me today that Director Yang's hope of recovery is zero.

I said doctor, you must try your best to treat our mayor's wife, okay?We have absolutely guaranteed treatment funds! The doctor said it was not a matter of money. I said what's the problem? "Do you mean that money can make ghosts turn mills?" The doctor asked me back.His attitude was less that of a medical professional and more that of a sociologist. I said, "If possible, I hope so." "You are wrong," said the doctor. "Cancer is not a ghost, but a demon. In front of the demon, human beings cannot control it, including money." "I know," I said, "so how long can the devil keep the mayor's wife?"

The doctor said without hesitation, "At most half a month." The doctor's judgment on the mayor's wife made my heart beat.Only half a month later, the mayor's wife came to the end of her life.And it will take half a month for me to unload the burden on my shoulders, that is to say, Comrade Yang Wanqiu's treatment leading group will be disbanded in another half month. How important is the last half month of a person's life to himself?How important is it to other people? Do I have to think about these two questions? Today, Yang Wanqiu's treatment leadership team was called for a meeting.I informed the mayor's wife of her condition.I said that according to the diagnosis of the attending doctor in the hospital, Director Yang Wanqiu's illness is getting worse and it is very dangerous.However, the hospital has promised to do its best to treat and treat her, and strive to create a miracle.As members of Comrade Yang Wanqiu's treatment leadership group, we must continue to stick to our posts, each taking responsibility, and there must be no omissions.Regarding the importance or significance of Comrade Yang Wanqiu's life and identity, I don't need to say it, everyone understands it.Comrade Yang Wanqiu is the director of the Education Bureau of Ningyang City and an important cadre of our Ningyang City Government.She is also the wife of our Mayor Jiang Chunwen in Ningyang City, and he and Mayor Jiang are a loving couple.Therefore, Comrade Yang Wanqiu's safety affects the mayor's heart, and is related to the overall situation of the city government's work!To serve and work wholeheartedly for Comrade Yang Wanqiu's treatment is to share the mayor's worries and take care of the overall situation!Everyone's understanding must be fully raised to this level.The day before yesterday, Mayor Jiang came to visit his wife. Before leaving, he asked me to express his thanks to everyone on his behalf!I believe that the mayor will never forget your sincerity and hard work!

Like Li Lun taught me, I said a lot of things that were both true and false, and I didn't expect to move the audience here.I saw people who were startled and moved by my words, all of them changed their expressions. Dark clouds hung on their faces, and some people's eyes even had tears in their eyes.I know their sadness and excitement, not because of my words, but about the rapidly deteriorating condition of the mayor's wife and the mayor's kind greetings in my words!Their expressions are absolutely real!I feel like I'm a director, but I don't feel like they're actors.

In the end, the team members expressed their opinions one after another, begging me like loyal soldiers: Deputy Mayor Zhang, please give me instructions, what should we do now? I said: pray. I spent a day reading in the hotel room today, and finished reading the novel collection "Why I Don't Have Xiaomi" by Dong Dong.The novel has endless aftertaste and can't help but make people laugh. I wanted to call Shishi to talk about my feelings, only to find that the phone number book was left in Ningyang, and there was no Dongshi's number in the phone, so I had to give up. Furthermore, Tang Jin, the deputy director of the Education Bureau who was on duty at the hospital, reported that Director Yang was still unconscious.He was still thinking about the bunch of invoices that Director Yang hadn't signed yet.I told him, can't you wait another half a month?Tang Jin looked at me a little puzzled, and said half a month?Director Yang can wake up?Did the doctor say it?I said I said so.Tang Jin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded as if he understood something and said, oh, I see, half a month, half a month... He muttered to himself with a fantasy expression on his face.I said what do you know?Tang Jin was taken aback, and said, huh?I pray, pray.

Tang Jin is praying for the day when he gets the power to sign the invoice, I think. I have to look at the following four people with admiration: Meng Fei, Jin Hong, Feng Mingming, and Lan Qizhang.Because they became my mentors in poker. I slept late yesterday, and when I woke up this morning, it was already ten o'clock.Since there are no books to read, I want to go to the bookstore to buy some books. When passing by Mengfei's room, I thought why not ask him to come with me.Meng Fei came from a background in learning Chinese, and he wants to come here with the same interest in reading as I do.So I knocked on Mengfei's door.

Meng Fei asked who?His voice was wary. I said I, Changlian Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Meng Fei opened the door with a look of panic. I said you're busy, so I won't bother you. Meng Fei said no, not busy. I looked over Mengfei's shoulder, and saw several familiar figures and faces in the room, packing up things in a hurry. Seeing that Meng Fei couldn't hide it, frankly, Deputy Mayor Zhang, we were playing cards. "Really?" I said, "Can I take a look?" Meng Fei said, "Please come in." I walked into the room and saw Lan Qizhang, the deputy editor-in-chief of Ningyang Daily, stuffing playing cards into the bed, and the others looked at me nervously, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

So I smiled at them, "Why are you nervous? I'm not a policeman," I said, "Besides, you're just playing cards for fun, aren't you?" Feng Xianming, deputy director of the Ningyang City Finance Bureau, said: "Yes, yes, we are purely for entertainment. Didn't we wait for the mayor's wife...to wake up? We have all the preparations ready. We have nothing to do, play cards, kill time. time." "Okay, it's okay," I said, "You guys continue to play." Seeing that they didn't move, "Hit it? You won't hit it when I come, but I'm not good."

Lan Qizhang said: "No, no, Deputy Mayor Zhang, it was our fault. We shouldn't be playing cards at this time. We were wrong." "Who's to say you're wrong?" I said. "I have nothing against you playing cards! I want to play with you." Everyone looked at me with surprise and joy, and the tense muscles on the face relaxed. "Hey, what were you playing just now?" I said. Jin Hong, deputy director of the reception office of the municipal government, said: "A tractor." "tractor?" Jin Hong said: "Deputy Mayor Zhang, can you play with us? Come pick me up!" Her voice was very sweet, as sweet as a human being. I said, "I want to play, but I don't know how to drive a tractor. I only know how to fight landlords." Lan Qizhang said: "Then we will fight the landlord!" "Fighting Landlords is not very fun," I said, "Is tractor fun?" "It's fun!" Jin Hong said, "Deputy Mayor Zhang, really, try it if you don't believe me!" She looked at me eagerly, "I'll teach you!" I said: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful, then I will try!" When the four heard this, they were as happy as meeting a confidant or finding an accomplice.Lan Qizhang turned around and took out hand after hand of poker cards from under the quilt, and handed them to Feng Xianxing behind him.Feng Xianxing happily put the cards on the coffee table as if holding the cash he picked up.There were already a lot of playing cards on the coffee table, and Lan Qizhang was still picking them out, feeling under the quilt with his hands.In the end, he simply lifted the quilt and collected the remaining cards. I said, "Why are there so many cards? How many decks?" Jin Hong said, "Second Officer." She helped a stool, "Deputy Mayor Zhang, come, sit here." I sat down at the seat designated by Jin Hong, "Is this your original seat?" I said. Jin Hong said, "Yes." I saw that several other people were not sitting, so I said, "Are you sitting?" Jin Hong said: "You have to choose someone to be on your side, so that they can sit comfortably." It turned out to be like this. "Who wants to side with me?" I said, "I'm a beginner." The three men said in unison: Me! Seeing that the three of them are so willing to ally with me, it makes me feel awkward. I said to Jin Hong: "Who was on your side just now?" Jin Hong looked at Meng Fei. "Secretary Meng." Meng Fei said, "It's me." I said, "Okay, let's go to one side." Mengfei sat across from me and became my ally.Feng Mingliang and Lan Qizhang sat east and west, becoming the opponents of Meng Fei and me. When Meng Fei checked and shuffled the cards, Jin Hong explained to me the rules and methods of tractors, while Feng Xianxian and Lan Qizhang made supplementary explanations. In less than two minutes, Jin Hong asked if I understood?I understand. Feng Xianxing said, "Then shall we begin?" I said, "Let's get started." So start drawing cards. Jin Hong stood behind me, pointing and guiding me to insert cards from time to time.When I got more than 20 cards, my hand could no longer hold the cards.Jin Hong said I would get it for you.She drew the main card.When I draw the main card, I give it to her. When the cards were drawn, Jin Hong and I looked at each other, both overjoyed, because both the main cards and the secondary cards in our hands were good.It's a good hand. Under the guidance of Jin Hong and the tacit cooperation of Mengfei, Mengfei and I won the first game, successfully passed 3 and hit 4. Lan Qizhang said: "Unexpectedly, Deputy Mayor Zhang's actions are extraordinary!" "Where," I said, and looked at Jin Hong, "it's because the instructor is of a high level." Jin Hong was praised and laughed. "Ha, how dare I become the deputy mayor's mentor!" Meng Fei said: "You are not only the tutor of the deputy mayor, but also the tutor of the master's tutor." Jin Hong said: "It's just a mentor in playing cards." I look at everyone, "You are all my mentors." I said. Feng Xianxing, who was shuffling the cards, looked up at me and said, "Hey, Deputy Mayor Zhang, do you still have graduate students?" I said, "I still have it." "How many do you bring?" Lan Qizhang said. I said: "Five, no, four, one has already left." I thought of Mandela who had returned home. "Then how about I take your postgraduate entrance examination next year?" Feng Xianxing said. I said, "Okay, if I don't get disqualified." Feng Xianxing said, "What qualification? Is it the qualification to lead a graduate student?" I said, "I'm no longer from Dongxi University. I guess my title will be removed soon, so I won't be qualified to lead graduate students." Lan Qizhang said: "Isn't the title tenure?" I was taken aback. "Yes." I said. Feng Xianming said: "By the way, Minister Niu of the Organization Department of our Provincial Party Committee is still a professor at the Linlin College, and he is still leading a graduate student." "Really? Then wouldn't it be better for you to take his postgraduate degree?" I said, feeling that the words were a bit harsh or hurtful, "I mean, Minister Niu is a professor, and I am only an associate professor, so if you want to apply Go under the professor's door." Feng Xianxing said: "Minister Niu's door is not so easy to enter." He looked at Jin Hong, "Jin Hong is not bad." Jin Hong stared at Feng Xianxing, "What do you mean? Who is Minister Niu?" Feng Xianxing also stared at Jin Hong, "You don't know Minister Niu? When Minister Niu came to the city, when did you not receive him?" Jin Hong said: "I have also received the head of the central government." Feng Xianming said: "The head of the central government, you can't enter the door of the head of the central government, Minister Niu... Meng Fei saw that Feng Xianxing had gone too far, so he quickly interrupted, "Draw the cards! Draw the cards!" Each draws cards. Jin Hong still held part of the cards for me, because I couldn't hold more than 50 cards in one hand.I saw that she was still standing, so I said you should find a stool to sit on.Jin Hong said that she would not sit down and would sit down later.She stood by my side, guiding and correcting my playing cards at critical times.I noticed that every time Feng Xianxing played a card, Jin Hong would instruct me to play a big card to suppress. If I couldn't suppress it, I had to use provocative and sarcasm words, which made Feng Xianming very irritable, made frequent mistakes, and could not go back on his word. Meng Fei and I won one after another.When the two of us reached 10, Feng Xianliang and Lan Qizhang only reached 5. When Lan Qizhang saw that his ally Feng Mingxing was always making mistakes, he blamed him and said, "Why are your hands so smelly today?" Feng Xian argued: "Why do my hands stink? It's because of bad cards." Jin Hong said: "Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, if you can manage some stinky money, can your hands not stinky? And your mouth stinky!" After speaking, she burst out laughing.By this time she had found a stool and sat down. Meng Fei and Lan Qizhang also laughed. I wanted to laugh, but seeing Feng Xianxian's face flushed red, I quickly stopped laughing. Feng Xianxian looked at me, looked at Jin Hong, and said sharply, "Jin Hong, you can no longer guide Deputy Mayor Zhang!" Jin Hong said: "What's the matter with the guide? I'll guide! Get rid of you!" "Is it Deputy Mayor Zhang or you? Huh?" Feng Xianliang said. Jin Hong said: "I beat the same as the deputy mayor Zhang, and beat the dog in the water hard!" When Feng Xianxian heard this, he became angry, "Jin Hong, don't deceive others too much! Let me tell you." "Who is bullying whom?" Jin Hong said, "Did you bully me first or I bully you first?" "I bullied you?" Feng Xianxian sneered, "I dare to bully you, if you speak ill of me in the leader's ear again, I think next time I have to go back to the Academy of Social Sciences to be an accountant." "Hey, Feng Xianxing!" Jin Hong stood up, "If you can't be the director of the Finance Bureau, you suspect that I spoke ill of you in front of the leaders. Who do you think I am?!" Feng Xianxian said: "You are a beauty, a great beauty. The leader dances with you, you can jump out of three legs, you can jump out of mineral water!" "You..." Jin Hong was too angry to speak. Seeing that the situation was not good, I quickly smoothed things over and said: "Playing cards is playing cards, don't talk about political affairs. Come, draw cards!" The game continues. I no longer let Jin Hong draw cards for me, nor let her guide me.Jin Hong sat beside me depressedly for a while, looked at his watch, and said that I was going to cook for you. As soon as Jin Hong left, Lan Qizhang criticized Feng Mingxing, saying, "Old Feng, you were wrong when you said that about Jin Hong just now. Jin Hong is such a nice person. After being wronged so much, he went to help us with our meals." Feng Xianxing said, "It's fighting for you, it won't be for me." Lan Qizhang said, "Do you dare to bet?" Feng Xianxian was startled, but remained silent. Lan Qizhang said: "You don't dare to bet. Let me tell you, Jin Hong is a kind person, she will not speak ill of anyone in front of the leader. She is beautiful, enthusiastic, and generous, and everyone likes her. Don't you If you like it, it means that you are narrow-minded and abnormal." "Am I narrow-minded? Is it abnormal?" Feng Xianxing said, "You might as well call me perverted." Lan Qizhang said, "You said it yourself." "Am I wrong?" Feng Xianming said, he played a set of three pairs, "three sixes versus 10." I knocked on the coffee table and said, "No." Feng Xianxian looked at me and said, "I may be really wrong. I suspect that Jin Hong has no reason. It's just a wild guess. In fact, I know the reason why I can't be the director." I looked at Bong Myung. Feng Xianxing said: "It's just because I lack a postgraduate diploma. I would have bought one if I had known. Damn, I would have bought one tomorrow!" I was stunned, "Buy? Can I buy a diploma?" Feng Xianxing said, "No, it's not." He played a 2 of spades, looked at me, "Do you want it?" I said: "Yes!" I play a king. Jin Hong called boxed lunches, as well as beer and drinks, and distributed them to us, including Bong Xianxing.We stopped playing cards and had lunch.It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Feng Xianxing was full, looked at Jin Hong who was cleaning up the miscellaneous, and said sorry to her. Jin Hong smiled sweetly and said, "I let go of it long ago, but you haven't let it go yet?" In a joyful atmosphere, the game continued.The fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing.Enjoyable battles let us get carried away.Looking at my temporary subordinates who were having a great time, I remembered how sad and moved they were when they mentioned the rapidly deteriorating condition of the mayor's wife and the mayor's kind greetings at the meeting the day before yesterday. Entertainment is simply worlds apart, as if it's been a lifetime.That day I also felt like I acted like a director and they didn't act like actors, I misunderstood.What I feel today is true, I am not a director, and they are not actors.We are all temperamental.A simple game of poker that brings out our true nature. But then again, what can I ask these left-behind volunteers to do in the days when the mayor's wife has no hope of treatment? Besides praying and playing cards, what else?
