Chapter 55 7. Condolences
At ten o'clock the next morning, when Ding Nengtong and Long Xiaobo accompanied Xia Wentian downstairs to Zhou Yongnian's house, Liu Fengyun was already waiting at the entrance of the corridor.
After getting off the car, Xia Wen warmly shook hands with Liu Fengyun and said, "Fengyun, on behalf of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I wish you a happy new year!"
"Mayor Xia, I've reminded you, hurry up and go upstairs!"
Ding Nengtong and Long Xiaobo also greeted the early years with greetings, and everyone went upstairs with Liu Fengyun.
As soon as he entered the room, Xia Wentian was attracted by a piece of writing on the wall. This piece of writing was written in regular script, and it could be seen that it was written by Zhou Yongnian.
Xia Wentian couldn't help but read: "Pure heart is the root cause, straightness is self-seeking, good talent will eventually become a building, and stainless steel will not be a hook. The warehouse is full of mice and the birds are happy, and the grass is exhausted. Alright, Feng Yun, it seems that Yongnian is determined to be a contemporary Baogong."
"Mayor Xia, who wrote this poem?" Long Xiaobo asked curiously.
"This poem is Bao Gong's speech poem. Don't you want to write it in Yongnian? This poem comes from "Shuduanzhou County Zhaibi" in Volume 1 of "Bao Zheng Collection Annotations". This is the motto of Bao Zheng's life. This poem The poem fully demonstrates Bao Zheng's honesty and honesty, his upright and upright moral code of conduct in politics, and his determination to be a pillar of the country, benefit the people, and leave his name in the history books. What Bao Zheng said is also what he did. Whether he was a small official in a prefecture or a county or a high position as a prime minister, he always took this poem of words and ambitions as his motto, he must keep his word and act with resoluteness, showing noble morality as an official, and made a great contribution. Excellent political achievements, Nengtong and Xiaobo, as an official, you should learn from Bao Zheng!" Xia Wentian said with emotion.
"Sister Fengyun, I remember that what hangs here is a famous memorial to Qianlong by Sun Jiagan, a famous minister in the Yongqian era?" Ding Nengtong asked wonderingly.
"Mayor Lin has been asking Yongnian for calligraphy, and Yongnian gave that calligraphy to Dake." Liu Fengyun said with a smile, "Mayor Xia, please sit down!"
After Liu Fengyun finished speaking, he made a cup of tea for everyone.
"Feng Yun, where did the children go?" Xia Wentian asked with concern.
"Let's play at the neighbor's house. Although the boss is demented, he doesn't make trouble. The second child is smart and smart, and makes a lot of trouble!" Liu Fengyun said while peeling apples for everyone.
"I bought a set of "Fairy Tale King" for the children, and I don't know if the children like it."
After Xia Wentian finished speaking, Long Xiaobo took out a set of exquisite books from his purse and put them on the coffee table.
Liu Fengyun said happily: "Thank you, Mayor Xia. My second child likes to read this kind of books the most. I don't know how happy the children will be after reading them!"
"Feng Yun, it's not easy for you to take care of two children by yourself. I'm usually busy with work. Thanks to your support for Yongnian's work!" Xia Wentian said sincerely.
"It should be, Mayor Xia. Yongnian and I both grew up drinking Heishui River. It is Yongnian's blessing to do something practical for the people in our hometown. If there is no child to drag you down, I will go there with him!" Liu Fengyun said seriously .
"This is true, but the work of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is more important. It is a sharp sword for our party to fight corruption!" Xia Wentian said heartily.
"Mayor Xia is right. The current anti-corruption struggle is getting more and more complicated. The trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Let's talk about Dongzhou. Although corrupt elements such as Xiao Honglin and Jia Chaoxuan have been eradicated, there are still people following in their footsteps." !" Liu Fengyun said worriedly.
"Oh, Feng Yun, so what do you know?" Xia Wentian asked in surprise.
"Mayor Xia, you have an idea in mind. Someone is writing Lin Dake's article, and the anonymous letter has been delivered to the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. It is estimated that after the Spring Festival, it may be approved by the province." Liu Fengyun reminded.
"Feng Yun, Comrade Dake, I know well. Yongnian and Dake are very temperamental. We should understand better. I think there are not many good cadres like Dake, but fewer." Xia Wentian said seriously.
"Has Mayor Xia ever thought about what the person who wrote the anonymous letter wants to do?" Liu Fengyun reminded.
"No matter what he wants to do, one thing is for sure, he has ulterior motives!" Xia Wentian said angrily.
"Mayor Xia, this is what I mean by the complexity of the anti-corruption struggle. Corrupt elements hiding in the dark will also use anti-corruption to slander good officials." Liu Fengyun said indignantly.
"Who will have trouble with Da Ke?" Xia Wentian asked with a sad face.
"Mayor Xia, I once saw Deputy Mayor He Zhendong at Fayuan Temple in Beijing, and he brought a mistress with him, accompanied by Huang Mengran, deputy director of the Beijing Office. I called Nengtong to confirm that night and asked Deputy He Regarding the mayor’s entry into Beijing, I can tell you that I don’t know about it. The Beijing Office has not been notified. The deputy mayor of Dongzhou City secretly visited Fayuan Temple with his mistress. Based on my years of experience in handling cases, nothing good will happen. Yongnian also followed I've said what this person did, Mayor Xia, you should pay more attention to this person!" Liu Fengyun reminded kindly.
Hearing Liu Fengyun's words, Ding Nengtong suddenly remembered Su Hongxiu's forced abortion in Beijing Hospital. He Zhendong actually ordered Wang Hansheng, Huang Yuewen, and Luo Hu to force Su Hongxiu to have an abortion with a gun. He Zhendong could do such a dirty thing. He probably did the anonymous letter to Lin Dake.Ding Nengtong recalled the "Xiao Jia case", he felt that what He Zhendong did was exactly the same as Yuan Xifan.
Back then, Yuan Xifan instigated the relationship between Xiao Honglin and Jia Chaoxuan, wrote an anonymous letter to Jia Chaoxuan secretly, and asked someone to send it to the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, thinking that if Jia Chaoxuan was overthrown, he would be able to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor, but it turned out to be a victim He hurt himself first, and no one escaped from the law.
The current situation is very similar to the situation of Yuan Xifan and Jia Chaoxuan back then. He Zhendong must be planning to overthrow Lin Dake so that he can become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor. Yuan Xifan was even worse than that, thinking that his beloved woman Luo Xiaomei was still controlled by the devil's claws, his heart felt tense for a while.
"Feng Yun, thank you for your reminder. You are an anti-corruption expert. I will ask you more for my work in this area in the future. It's getting late, so we will leave. If you need help at home, you can find Ding Nengtong. "Xia Wentian got up and said with a smile.
"Mayor Xia, let's go after dinner!" Liu Fengyun insisted.
"No, we still have something to do, so don't bother me. Feng Yun, I hope you can find time to go to Dongzhou, and you can't let Yongnian become an ascetic monk!"
After Xia Wentian finished speaking, he laughed out loud.
Liu Fengyun apologized and sent the three of them downstairs. "Mayor Xia, please wait for me for a while, I will have a few words with Nengtong."
Xia Wentian understood and got into the car with Long Xiaobo.
"Sister Fengyun, what's the matter?" Ding Nengtong asked puzzled.
"It works, tell me the truth, what do you think about Ran Ran, you don't say yes or no, it makes her fascinated all day long, and she cried several times at my place!"
Ding Nengtong said embarrassedly: "Sister Fengyun, Ran Ran has always been my sister in my heart, you don't know that, Ran Ran and I are not suitable, I am more than ten years older than her, divorced and have children, Besides, Ran Ran is a talented woman who has always wanted to study in the United States to study for a doctorate, so she should have a better home."
"An excuse, age is not an obstacle to love at all. The age difference between Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling is not much, the key is whether you love them or not?"
"Sister, let me handle this matter myself, I will handle it well!" Ding Nengtong said tactfully.
"Okay then, but that kid Ran Ran is too infatuated, don't hurt him too deeply." Liu Fengyun warned.
"Don't worry, Sister Fengyun, I have a sense of proportion!"
After Ding Nengtong got into the car, Xia Wentian rolled down the window and waved to Liu Fengyun, saying, "Fengyun, go back, let's go!"
Liu Fengyun also waved his hand, and the Mercedes-Benz drove slowly out of the community, heading towards Wanliutang Hospital near Beijing Garden.
Ding Nengtong accompanied Xia Wentian to the Wanliutang Hospital for an examination all afternoon. For the examination, Xia Wentian didn't eat breakfast or lunch. Having a headache, Ding Nengtong originally wanted to arrange for Xia Wentian to have dinner in the Beijing Garden before leaving, but it was too late. Fortunately, Ding Nengtong let Bai Lina rush to the Capital Airport in advance, and with the help of the manager of the VIP room at the Capital Airport, she completed the check-in procedures.
When several people arrived at the Capital Airport, the plane was about to take off in 40 minutes. In the airport restaurant, after a simple meal, Ding Nengtong and Bai Lina kept sending Xia Wentian to the plane.
On the plane, Xia Wentian whispered: "Nengtong, the results of this physical examination, whether good or bad, must be kept secret. I will make decisions based on the results of the examination. We must prevent anyone from taking advantage of my illness to make a fuss." After the new year, Secretary Hong will go to the Central Party School to study. Dongzhou cannot be without someone at the helm, and I can't lie down at this time, so you must pick up the inspection results yourself, and don't let others pick them up! "Ding Nengtong nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, Mayor Xia, I will complete it as a political task!"
After Ding Nengtong got out of the cabin, he felt very heavy, because he already had a premonition that the result of Xia Wentian's physical examination this time would not be very good, and it might even be serious. He was worried that if Xia Wentian fell ill, there would be another earthquake in Dongzhou officialdom up.Because I don’t know how many people dream of the position of Dongzhou mayor!
In the officialdom, if you get sick, you will get it. If you get sick at the right time, you can avoid disasters; if you get sick at the wrong time, you have to step aside.
Ding Neng thought to himself, everyone knows that Xia Wentian is the reason for his reappointment this time. If this big tree falls, his position as the director of the Beijing Office may also be in jeopardy. Hasn't Huang Mengran been writing his own articles?
Thinking of this, Ding Nengtong couldn't help but think of Xin Qiji's lament about the difficulty of traveling in "Partridge Sky: Sending People Off":
Singing Cheyangguan tears are not dry,
Fame and extra meal.
Floating sky water sends infinite trees,
Rain clouds buried the general mountain.
There are thousands of hates in the past and present,
Only separation and reunion are joys and sorrows.
The head of the river is not evil,
Don't have a hard time walking in the world.
At this time, Ding Nengtong felt a kind of nameless oppression in his heart, which made him unable to break free, unable to fight, and he felt a kind of breathless helplessness!
Sure enough, the results of the hospital examination surprised Ding Nengtong. The initial diagnosis was colon cancer. After receiving the diagnosis notice, Ding Nengtong's head buzzed and he procrastinated until the end of the year without telling Xia Wentian the truth. Said that the problem was not serious, it was chronic colitis, Ding Nengtong wanted Xia Wentian to have a good year, and went to Dongzhou to discuss with Lin Dake himself what to do after the next year.
