Since the other party had asked him to leave, Lu Yiwei was too embarrassed to stay any longer. However, the purpose of his visit today was to see Old Master Kang. It seemed that he could only wait until tomorrow.
"Auntie, rest early. I'll be leaving first."
As soon as Lu Yiwei turned around, a roar came from the bedroom on the side. "Who's here?"
Kang Guiyun immediately winked at Lu Yiwei, signaling him to leave. She lied and said, "Dad, Xiao Kai is back."
As they spoke, Old Master Kang opened the door and walked out slowly. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he raised his eyelids and smiled. "Oh, it's Yiwei. Have a seat."
Seeing this, Lu Yiwei quickly went forward to help him up. "Old Master, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."
Kang Shizhi grabbed Lu Yiwei's arm and slowly walked to the sofa. He sat down and said, "It's fine. I haven't been sleeping well recently, so I wanted to find someone to talk to. I didn't expect you to come, hehe."
Kang Shizhi was almost 80 years old, but he was not deaf or blind. His health was excellent, and his mental state was excellent. If he could still be like this at his age, his life would be worth it. Of course, he could not be compared to ordinary people. As the only old leader in Bei Zhou City, he was naturally treated well in all aspects. The Municipal Party Committee provided him with a special car and full-time medical staff. As long as he wanted to move, he could choose any sanatorium in the country, and all the expenses would be borne by the city.
Such treatment was enviable. No one knew how much he had contributed to Bei Zhou. As the first chief executive of Bei Zhou, he had been struggling for decades. After experiencing the baptism of culture, he survived tenaciously with an unyielding fighting spirit. Today, he had a pivotal position in Bei Zhou and even the entire province. The first thing every city leader did after taking office was to visit him. The leaders of the province would come to visit him every year. It was only natural for such a national treasure to receive such treatment.
Seeing him, Lu Yiwei could not help but think of Tan Liangnian. This old master was Guo Jinzhu's mentor and also had absolute authority in Xijiang Province. Even though he had retired, his words more or less affected the political trend of Xijiang. If it wasn't for that, it would be a miracle for Guo Jinzhu to be able to stand firm with his personality.
Lu Yiwei quickly asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the capital to have a look?"
Kang Shizhi felt very comfortable listening to these polite words. He waved his hand and said, "I'm getting older, so naturally I feel less. You don't look well. Have you not been sleeping well recently? "
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "There are too many things to do. I don't have enough sleep."
Kang Shizhi held his hand tightly and said, "Work is important, but the body is the capital of revolution. You must rest more at home."
"Yes, thank you for your concern."
Kang Shizhi saw his daughter standing there and said, "Don't just stand there. Pour some water for Yiwei."
I hastily said, "No need, no need. I'm not thirsty."
Kang Shizhi's hand remained motionless as he stared at him, sizing him up. He smiled faintly and said, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"
His eyes were indeed sharp. No wonder he was an old leader of half a century. Lu Yiwei deliberately said, "I'm here today to see you …"
"Don't lie. Do you think your little tricks can escape my eyes? All right, we're family. No need to be so polite. "
He compared himself to a family, and I was touched. Lu Yiwei had summed up his political career. There were many noble people, but there were also many villains. Fortunately, there were always people who stood up to solve problems and avert danger. He didn't bother with pleasantries and asked directly, "Sir, do you know Zhao Guoqing?"
"Zhao Guoqing?"
Kang Shizhi rolled his eyes and tried to remember. Lu Yiwei took the chance to remind him, "He works at the Jiangdong Automobile Factory …"
"Oh, it's him. Of course, I know him. I've trained this kid. Moreover, I was the one who introduced him to his wife. His wife used to be my old colleague. Unfortunately, she passed away more than ten years ago. "
Lu Yiwei was excited to hear this important news. Then, he cautiously said, "Let me tell you a piece of unfortunate news. He passed away this morning …"
After Lu Yiwei finished, Kang Shizhi didn't speak for a long time. He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Guoqing is a good kid. But he's a bit stubborn and straightforward. That year, when he wanted to be the factory director, he looked for me and wanted to help him. But I couldn't do it. After all, I had retired for many years. But I told the governor at that time. Unfortunately, the position was already taken. Sigh! He's at most in his sixties. It's a bit shameful for him to leave. "
"Isn't that so. It was too sudden. I couldn't stop it in time. I'm quite regretful."
"It's not your fault. It's his own fault. What's wrong? Is there any problem with compensation? "
Lu Yiwei told him the situation in detail. Kang Shizhi was silent again. His fingers rhythmically tapped on the sofa's armrest. Then he sat up and said, "Call his wife's number now. I'll talk to her."
Lu Yiwei dialed Qu Wenzhou's number and found a way to pass it to his wife. Hearing the old leader's voice, before he could say anything, the other party burst into tears. Kang Shizhi comforted her and said, "Xiuping, no one wants to see Guoqing leave. These are the things I don't want to hear the most in recent years. Every time I know that people around me are leaving one by one, my heart hurts. The dead can't come back to life. You have to live well in the future. Do you hear me? "
"His bones haven't turned cold yet. He can't die in peace. Burying him in peace is the best way to comfort him. Hand over the cause of the accident to the government. I believe they will give a satisfactory answer. Also, you have to cooperate with the government and let Guoqing come to Elysium as soon as possible. "
Kang Shizhi's words were indeed effective. The other party showed his attitude. After hanging up the phone, his eyes were a little moist, and his lips kept trembling. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Yiwei, do you know what's the most painful thing in a person's life?"
Lu Yiwei shook his head.
"The most painful thing is to watch the people around you leave one by one, especially those close to you. Sigh!"
Lu Yiwei knew that he was talking about Su Meng, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He bit his lips and said, "Old man, some things can't be avoided. I believe they're living well in the other world."
Kang Shizhi nodded and looked at him. "Some regrets can't be made up for, but I know you're a person who values relationships. Mengmeng is the person I love the most. I'm very touched by what you've done. You have to come and see me often in the future. Seeing you is like seeing Mengmeng. "
Lu Yiwei pursed his lips and nodded. "Don't worry. I'll come and see you often in the future."
