Because the car had to be left at the airport, Xia Ruofei drove the Knight XV pickup truck. It was too flashy, and he was a little worried about leaving it at the airport overnight.
Taoyuan Farm was about 20 to 30 minutes away from Changping Airport. After Xia Ruofei arrived at the airport, he directly parked the car in the parking lot for the night. Then, he carried his suitcase and walked to the arrivals hall, and took the escalator to the arrivals hall upstairs.
Xia Ruofei found a place to sit in the hall, and then took out his phone to call Tian Huilan.
"Xiao Xia, have you arrived?"
"Yes, Secretary Tian. I am now at the arrivals hall," Xia Ruofei replied.
"Okay, I still need about five minutes. Wait for me here!"
After Xia Ruofei hung up the phone, he couldn't help but be speechless. Normally, it would take about 40 minutes to come from the city. As a leader of the provincial party committee, Tian Huilan definitely had to ask for leave from the organization. In other words, not only did she ask for leave immediately, but she also asked the driver to speed all the way, so that she could arrive at the airport in such a short time.
Soon, Xia Ruofei saw an Audi car drive directly to the arrivals hall entrance at a very fast speed. Tian Huilan didn't wait for the secretary to open the door, and opened the door by herself to get out of the car.
Her new secretary quickly walked to the trunk and took out a small suitcase, and then trotted all the way to catch up with Tian Huilan.
Xia Ruofei also got up and went to greet her.
"Xiao Xia, there is no time. I will tell you the details when we get on the plane," Tian Huilan said directly.
"Okay."
A middle-aged man wearing a suit and leather shoes with a work pass also quickly came up and said, "Secretary Tian, please follow me!"
Xia Ruofei noticed his work pass, and it turned out that he was the deputy general manager of the Airport Group. The deputy general manager had three boarding passes in his hand, and it was obvious that he had prepared them in advance.
The three of them followed the deputy general manager to a pre-prepared passage and quickly went through the security check.
The vice president also showed his work pass and followed them into the restricted area. Then, he led the three of them to a boarding gate.
From the time Tian Huilan entered the airport to the time when the three of them stepped onto the boarding bridge, it took no more than three minutes. It was really super efficient.
Xia Ruofei also took a look at the boarding gate and found that the flight was only three minutes away from takeoff. According to normal circumstances, the boarding should have stopped more than twenty minutes ago. At this time, the cabin door should have been closed, and the plane should have even slid out of the runway to wait for takeoff.
In other words, because of Tian Huilan, the plane had to delay the closing of the cabin door.
This made Xia Ruofei even more curious about the patient's identity.
It was easy for Tian Huilan to make the plane wait for ten to twenty minutes. The key point was that a senior leader like her usually cherished her reputation very much. This patient was worthy of Tian Huilan's attention, so he must be a very important person to Tian Huilan.
Xia Ruofei thought about this in his heart, but he didn't slow down at all. The three of them quickly arrived at the cabin door.
The chief flight attendant personally greeted them at the door and led them to the first-class cabin.
Tian Huilan's secretary arranged the luggage for the two of them, then respectfully excused herself from Tian Huilan and Xia Ruofei. Her seat was in the economy class.
After the three of them boarded the plane, the cabin door quickly closed. Then, just as Xia Ruofei and Tian Huilan were still fastening their seat belts, the plane's fuselage shook slightly, and the tractor began to push the plane out.
Then, the plane came to the end of the runway through the taxiway. Without waiting for a second, it directly drove onto the runway. After the fuselage was adjusted, it didn't stop, but directly increased the take-off thrust. The Airbus A380 began to accelerate and take off.
In other words, the airport control also opened a green channel for this plane. As soon as Tian Huilan arrived, this plane directly joined the first plane in the take-off sequence. There was no need to wait, and it could take off as soon as it arrived.
After the plane took off, Tian Huilan turned to look at Xia Ruofei and said gratefully, "Xiao Xia, thank you!"
"Secretary Tian, you're welcome. I don't know if I can help!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"No matter what, I owe you a favor!" Tian Huilan said, "As for Master Song's condition, I can only say that I've done my best and leave it to God!"
"Is the patient's surname Song?" Xia Ruofei asked subconsciously.
Xia Ruofei's brain was also working quickly, thinking about who was surnamed Song in Huaxia. But Xia Ruofei didn't know much about the political circle in Huaxia. Unless it was a very high-level figure, it was impossible for Xia Ruofei to know.
He knew that there was a big shot surnamed Song, but that person's status was too high. Xia Ruofei didn't dare to think about him.
And if that person was really so sick, he should have been treated in the hospital in Beijing. How could he be in Jiangnan Province?
Just as Xia Ruofei's mind was turning rapidly, Tian Huilan smiled and said, "Xiao Xia, don't guess. It's the Master Song you're thinking about."
Xia Ruofei suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You … you mean Beijing …"
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei pointed up and continued, "That person?"
Tian Huilan nodded and said, "Haven't you noticed that he hasn't appeared in any news for the past year?"
Xia Ruofei smiled embarrassedly and said, "Secretary Tian, I don't usually pay attention to the news …"
Then, Xia Ruofei asked in confusion, "But why is Master Song in Jiangnan Province? Since he's so sick, shouldn't he … "
"This is Master Song's own wish." Tian Huilan said, "After he came back from the surgery in Germany, he asked the organization to return to Jiangnan Province to recuperate. He's planning to return to his roots!"
Xia Ruofei also immediately realized the extraordinary significance of Jiangnan Province to Master Song.
Master Song was definitely a legendary figure. Xia Ruofei, who used to be an excellent soldier, knew about Master Song's situation because of his legendary experience.
Because Master Song used to be a general with outstanding military achievements, his legendary experience was also inextricably linked to Jiangnan Province.
Master Song was not from Jiangnan, but he fled to Jiangnan when he was young. At the age of 15, he joined the Huaxia People's Army passing by. He followed the army all the way to the south and liberated half of Huaxia. Before the founding of the country, he had already grown into an excellent battalion commander when he was not yet 18.
After the founding of the country, he participated in the two wars and made outstanding military achievements. His position was quickly promoted, and his army was stationed in Jiangnan Province during peacetime.
What was even more legendary was that in the 1990s, he, who was already a Major General, responded to the call for disarmament and took the initiative to transfer to the place.
It was very rare for a general to transfer to a civilian job. As an example, Master Song was directly placed in the position of deputy provincial leader of Jiangnan Province.
Master Song, who worked in the local area, was still full of energy. He was quickly promoted all the way to the top of Jiangnan Province. After nearly 10 years in charge of Jiangnan, he went one step further and was transferred to the capital to take up a core leadership position.
This position lasted for two years. Three years ago, the 80-year-old Master Song retired from his leadership position.
But Master Song's influence, whether in the local area or in the military, was still unparalleled. To this day, there was a legendary story circulating in the military of how the then commander of Master Song personally went into the enemy camp to "catch the tongue" on the battlefield in Nanjiang.
It could be said that Master Song's life was closely linked to Jiangnan Province, so it was reasonable for him to choose to stay in Jiangnan in the last days of his life.
Xia Ruofei thought that he could actually meet the idol of countless soldiers, the legend of legends, and that he would be treating his cancer. He couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming.
Tian Huilan looked at Xia Ruofei and said, "Xiao Xia, Master Song has a deep relationship with my family, and I am indebted to him. Please …"
"Secretary Tian, don't worry!" Xia Ruofei didn't wait for Tian Huilan to finish and said, "I will do my best to try and save Master Song's life! Even if I can't completely cure him, I will try to prolong his life as much as possible! Reduce his pain. "
Tian Huilan's eyes showed a trace of gratitude and said, "Okay, thank you, Xiao Xia …"
Xia Ruofei was in a state of excitement all the way. Soon, the plane began to slowly descend and finally landed smoothly on the runway of Hongzhou International Airport.
Would he be able to see Master Song soon?
Xia Ruofei was inexplicably nervous and excited …
