Night.
It was dark.
City's Third People's Hospital. A single ward.
The machines were beeping, and Dong Xuebing woke up. He opened his eyes and saw a nurse giving him an IV drip in his arm.
"Tong … zhi."
"Ah? You can speak?"
"Yes. What time is it?"
"It's evening. It's past 8 pm."
"8 pm? I … slept for so long? "
"Wait for a while. Don't move. I will call the doctor over."
Dong Xuebing can't move even if he wants to. It's hard for him to even speak, and his chest hurts. He has no energy and can't catch his breath. His whole body feels like it's going to explode, and it's uncomfortable. He lowered his head to look at his body. His entire body is wrapped in bandages and plaster. He looks like a dumpling. But Dong Xuebing did not feel disgusted. In fact, he felt happy. The more bandages, the better. I will disgust all of you.
The nurse left.
After a while, a few doctors entered the ward and asked Dong Xuebing how he was feeling. After that, they started to check on him and discuss their opinions.
"Yes. He is recovering fast."
"It's much better than expected."
"Let's change the bandages. We will add a small one tonight."
"Then should we push back the CT time?"
"Okay, let's observe the situation first. Let the patient rest well first."
The few doctors discussed and decided on the treatment plan for the next few days. After that, they told Dong Xuebing to rest well and left.
Outside.
Hospital corridor.
When the few doctors came out, Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang stood up from their chairs. Yan Yizhi, Chen Xiaomei, and Yao Cui followed behind them. They had been waiting for a long time.
"Doctor, how is he?" Meng Rui asked.
The doctor nodded. "His condition is fine and has stabilized."
Jiang Fangfang asked. "Will it affect his condition if we go in now?"
The doctor thought for a while and nodded. "You all can go in first. But don't speak to the patient for too long. Let him rest more."
"Ok."
Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang entered the ward first.
Yan Yizhi, Yao Cui, and the rest followed behind.
In the ward.
Dong Xuebing saw them and was stunned. "Ah … Secretary Meng, Mayor Jiang, why are you all here?"
This guy was wrapped in bandages, and it was indeed a little shocking.
Although Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang arrived at the hospital in the afternoon, Dong Xuebing had already left the operating theater and is resting in the ward. The hospital did not allow anyone to visit Dong Xuebing. This is the first time they saw Dong Xuebing after the operation.
Meng Rui said, "How could we not come when something this big happened?"
Jiang Fangfang looked at him. "How do you feel? Does your body hurt? "
Dong Xuebing tried his best to look at them. He endured the pain and said. "I am fine. Thank you all for your concern. I am …"
Jiang Fangfang said gently, "It's good that you're safe."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am lucky. I will not die."
Jiang Fangfang said faintly, "You're really lucky this time. We've all heard that the doctor said that you were lucky that you fell diagonally and landed with your feet first. That's why you took the brunt of the impact. Otherwise, if it was another angle, your life would have been lost."
Yao Cui and Chen Xiaomei still had lingering fears. It was really dangerous this time.
Meng Rui said sternly. "Mayor Dong, it has been hard on you and made you suffer. Just rest well and leave the rest to Mayor Jiang and me. Don't worry. We will give you an explanation for this incident and ask them to give our County an explanation!"
Dong Xuebing replied softly. "Thank you, Leader."
Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang had come to visit Zhen Shui County. Dong Xuebing did not expect this. Most of the time, it is the department heads who attend the County's affairs. Only the County's Party Committee Leader or Second Leader will attend the County's affairs personally. But this time, Meng Rui and Mayor Jiang had left their work in the County and come to the City. This was rare. The County needs people, and even if they had to leave, they cannot leave with Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang. At least one of them must stay behind to control the overall situation. From this, Dong Xuebing can tell the County Government's attitude. The City's actions had angered Zhen Shui County!
Blown up?
The bigger the commotion, the better!
This was the reason why Dong Xuebing pretended to fall from the building. This was China's system. If this matter does not blow up, no one will notice. Dong Xuebing wants to blow up the commotion and humiliate those people who had snatched their funds. If not, how are they going to get their money back?
Meng Rui knew what had happened, but he did not know Dong Xuebing had purposely 'pushed' down the building. It was a three-story building. If it was the second floor, it might be fine. But the third floor was the third floor, and Dong Xuebing might even be paralyzed for the rest of his life. Not only Meng Rui, but no one will believe Dong Xuebing had purposely done this. No one would be so stupid to risk his life for the County. This was not realistic. That's why Meng Rui thought Dong Xuebing had fallen because of Wei Lin's push. Meng Rui was furious. Dong Xuebing was representing their County to get their money back. But when Dong Xuebing fell from the building, Meng Rui was relieved.
Why?
Because this matter was settled!
The City Government had the upper hand in this matter, and the money was in the hands of the City's Finance Department. The County Government can only decide who gets the money from the City Government.
Negotiate?
Lower their heads?
Give in?
This was the only thing they could do.
But after Dong Xuebing's incident, the Zhen Shui County Government had the moral high ground, and the City Government was in a disadvantageous position. All the pressure was on them!
What a good fall!
Dong Xuebing had turned the tables!
Meng Rui was impressed with Dong Xuebing in his heart. Dong Xuebing had made a huge contribution this time. The rest was up to them and the City Government's reaction. At that moment, Meng Rui felt he had made the right decision to send Dong Xuebing over.
After chatting for a while, it was almost 9 pm.
Jiang Fangfang looked at her watch and asked: "Secretary Meng?"
Meng Rui nodded. "Done. We are relieved to see you are fine. We will not disturb you. Rest well and get well soon."
Dong Xuebing replied: "Yes, Secretary Meng."
Jiang Fangfang pulled the blanket over Dong Xuebing. "Secretary Meng and I will be in the City for the next two days. We will visit you again tomorrow."
Dong Xuebing quickly replied: "No need."
"No need? That's all?" Jiang Fangfang sat up.
Meng Rui looked at Yao Cui: "Xiao Yao, will you be taking care of Mayor Dong?"
Yao Cui immediately replied: "I will do my best. Don't worry."
Chen Xiaomei volunteered: "I will stay here too."
Yan Yizhi was about to say something, but Dong Xuebing stopped him: "No need. Old Chen, Old Yan, both of you should be tired after accompanying me for the whole day. Hurry up and find a hotel to rest. Xiao Yao, you should go back too. I will feel bad if all of you are tired because of me."
"But … …"
"There are nurses taking care of me here. I will be fine."
"Even if we go back, we will not be leaving. At least we can take care of each other."
"I asked all of you to go back, so go back. Don't be unreasonable. Look at all of you."
After talking for so long, Dong Xuebing started to feel pain in his chest again. He coughed, and his face turned pale.
Yao Cui got a fright: "Alright … … Let's go back!"
Jiang Fangfang said. "Then let's go. Stop talking and rest."
After Dong Xuebing recovered a little, they were relieved.
At this time, a doctor entered the room. "It's almost time, and the patient still needs to sleep. Now is the time for him to recover. Don't you all … …"
Meng Rui replied. "Alright. We will leave now."
The doctor nodded. "Oh, is the patient's family here?"
Jiang Fangfang and Meng Rui looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"What's wrong? They are not here yet? "The doctor frowned and looks at Yan Yizhi." Didn't you say you had informed the patient's family? We still have many things to sign, and we need to inform the patient's family about his injuries. How are we going to answer to them if something happens? "
Jiang Fangfang replied. "We had informed them."
Dong Xuebing paused. "My family knows about this?"
Don't … … Dong Xuebing is panicking. If Xie Huilan and his mother know about this, then … …
"Ok. I know." Jiang Fangfang replied.
Meng Rui is afraid of hurting Dong Xuebing's feelings and said. "I had asked Xiao Zhang to call your family on the way here. Your wife and mother had called them."
Dong Xuebing was sweating profusely. "Don't let them come over. I am fine."
Zhang Feng, who entered the room later, heard what Dong Xuebing said and was speechless. Even if you want them to come over, they will not do so! Your wife had asked us to inform her after you die!
Meng Rui replied. "Anyway, we had informed them. You can call them to ask."
After that, Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, Yan Yizhi, Yao Cui, and the rest left the ward.
Dong Xuebing is afraid they are just brushing him off and rang the bell to call the nurse who is taking care of him. "Can I trouble you for a while?"
The nurse blinked. "What is it?"
Dong Xuebing said. "Help me send them off and come back after they have left."
The young nurse hesitated for a moment, then agreed and went out to see the patient off.
Dong Xuebing was mentally prepared for today's incident because he was the one who created the chaos. But Yao Cui, Chen Xiaomei, and the rest do not know about this. They must be frightened by what happened earlier and had to stay in the hospital for the whole afternoon. Dong Xuebing does not want them to fall sick from exhaustion. If not, he will not feel at ease.
