The next day.
6 am. Hospital.
At dawn, Dong Xuebing woke up in the single ward. His ringtone was beside him, and he tried his best to press it. The ringtone started playing.
Six to seven seconds later.
The ward's door opened, and a nurse entered.
"You are awake?"
"Yes. What time is it?"
"It's 6: 10 am."
"There will be a checkup and treatment later, right?"
"Yes. The specialist will be here at 7 am, and the checkup will be in the morning."
"How about this, can you help me make another call? I have something to do."
"Ok. Who is the caller? Your husband? "
"No. Xie Jing's name is there. Help me look for her."
"… I found her. I will make the call now."
"Okay. Can you turn on the speaker for me when you're done? Can you go back to work?"
"Ok."
The nurse dialed his number. After turning on the hands-free mode, she heard the beeping sound. She put the phone on the bedside and opened the door to leave.
The line got through.
"Hello, Brother-in-law."
"Xiao Jing, are you awake?"
"Yes. I was woken up by my Sister's call."
"Huh? Xie Huilan called you? "
"Yes. What happened to you? My Sister said you are injured. Is it serious? "
"I'm fine. It's just a fracture, and I'm used to it. Oh, what else did Xie Huilan tell you?"
"Big Sis said something happened to you in Meihe City, and she asked me to contact the reporters from the Provincial Xin Hua News Agency branch to pressure the leaders in Meihe City."
Dong Xuebing smiled. Sigh … my wife is the best. Although she did not say anything, she is still worried about me. He had asked Xie Jing to help him with this matter. He wants Xin Hua News Agency to create a stir, and they might not really publish the news. But before he could ask, his wife had already contacted Xie Jing.
"Brother-in-law, I will contact my friend now."
"Thank you. Just pressure them, and you don't need to publish the news."
"Ok. Are you really alright? My Big Sis is not in a good mood. "
"How can I be alright? I will be fine after resting for about half a month. "
Xie Jing laughed. "Haha … that's true. It's only three stories high, and it won't be a problem for you." She also knows Dong Xuebing will not die from falling from three floors. To kill Dong Xuebing, he must fall from at least ten floors.
…
In the morning.
Consultation, examination, treatment.
Dong Xuebing cannot go anywhere and can only cooperate with the doctors.
…
The other side.
Municipal Committee Compound.
Zhao Xu arrived at work. Along the way, many staff members greeted him, but Deputy Mayor Zhao ignored them. His mind was elsewhere, and he walked into his office with a sullen face.
Ring ring ring.
The phone rang.
Zhao Xu's expression immediately turned solemn. "Mayor."
It was a man's voice on the other end of the phone. "Old Zhao, how's the hospital?"
Zhao Xu said, "I just called and asked. That Zhen Shui County's Executive Deputy Mayor is no longer in danger, but his injuries are still quite serious. He is currently receiving treatment."
"Zhen Shui County's Party Secretary and Mayor are here, right?"
"Yes, I heard he arrived yesterday afternoon."
"I just received another piece of news."
"Hmm? What news? "
"Someone from the Provincial Xin Hua News Agency called to ask about the situation. He said our City Government had intercepted the County's funds and even pushed the County's Executive Deputy Mayor down the stairs. They want to know if this is true."
Zhao Xu took a deep breath. "Xin Hua News Agency?"
Damn. How did they attract the attention of Xin Hua News Agency?
The Mayor replied calmly. "This is not going to be easy."
"Finance Department's Old Wei had handled this incident wrongly. But he did not do it on purpose. He also does not have the guts to do so."
"I know. You should know. But what about the rest? The police are already investigating. I asked about the situation. Yesterday afternoon, there were many people at the scene. Many people gave testimonies. Before the incident, it was Wei Lin who pushed the official from Zhen Shui County, which caused him to fall from the building and get seriously injured. Even if it wasn't intentional, the impact of this incident was still very bad. Now that things have escalated to this point, this cover can't be covered anymore. Old Zhao, do you understand what I mean? If Xin Hua News Agency reports about this incident, we will be in trouble. "
"What do you mean?"
"Communicate with Zhen Shui County as soon as possible."
"Alright. I know. I will go and settle it now."
"Ok. You will handle this personally. The sooner, the better."
… …
10 am.
City's Third People's Hospital.
Meng Rui, Jiang Fangfang, Yan Yizhi, and the rest had come to visit Dong Xuebing. In the ward, Dong Xuebing is in a good condition today.
"Will there be a checkup later?"
"Yes. Maybe. I am not sure about the arrangements made by the hospital."
"It's fine. Have a good rest. I will go to the City's Party Committee with Mayor Jiang."
Suddenly, the ward's door was pushed open, and everyone turned to look.
The first person to enter was Deputy Mayor Zhao Xu, followed by a few other leaders. Wei Lin also entered with an ugly expression.
Zhao Xu was holding a fruit basket and smiled at Dong Xuebing. "Mayor Dong, I am representing the City Government to visit you. Are you feeling better?" He placed the basket on the table.
Dong Xuebing mumbled and did not say a word. He was chatting with Party Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang earlier, and he looks like he had fallen from a building. He looks like he is in pain, and he is feeling uncomfortable.
The nurse who had been taking care of Dong Xuebing was amused by him.
Meng Rui, Yan Yizhi, and the rest also cleared their throat. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to be so good at pretending.
Zhao Xu quickly asked. "Oh, where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Dong Xuebing replied in a hoarse voice. "Try falling from the third floor, and you will know."
Zhao Xu and the other leaders frowned, but no one dares to get angry.
Zhao Xu was speechless for a second and said. "Should I call the doctor?"
"No need." Dong Xuebing replied. "I was only pushed down from the third floor. It's fine. It's only the third floor, and I will not die!"
Dong Xuebing's words are full of sarcasm!
He is not only provoking Wei Lin, but he is also provoking Zhao Xu.
If Dong Xuebing were to talk to him like this in the past, Zhao Xu would have exploded. But the situation is different now, and no matter how angry he is, he must endure it. Zhao Xu replied. "Mayor Dong, we know you are wronged. This incident is an accident, and the City Government is very concerned about this and had sent me here to settle this. You can let me know if you have any requests." Dong Xuebing nodded.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything and glanced at Wei Lin.
Zhao Xu also looks at Wei Lin. "Chief Wei, this happened in your Finance Department, and you are the one who knocked down Mayor Dong. Don't you think you should apologize?"
Wei Lin gritted his teeth and walked over. "I'm sorry."
Wei Lin hated Dong Xuebing, but times have changed, and he doesn't dare to go against Dong Xuebing. He had been defeated by Dong Xuebing this time.
"Just apologize?" Jiang Fangfang looks at Wei Lin.
Meng Rui finally spoke. "Mayor Dong almost died. This is not something that can be settled with just an apology."
Wei Lin, Meng Rui, and Jiang Fangfang had apologized many times, and they were furious when they heard what Wei Lin said.
Zhao Xu replied. "Before we came out, the City had decided to suspend Wei Lin from all his duties, and we will wait for the relevant departments to investigate."
Suspended?!
That's more like it!
Zhen Shui County is satisfied with this decision.
"There's still the medical fees." Zhao Xu looked at Dong Xuebing sincerely. "Because this happened in the City, we will be paying for the surgery and medical fees. You don't need to worry about this. There's also compensation. I will also make the decision. As for the psychological damages … … 200,000 RMB. Wei Lin will bear part of it, and the unit will bear the rest. Mayor Dong, is this acceptable?" Normally, 100,000 RMB is about the same as Dong Xuebing's cervical vertebrae were not damaged, and it should not affect his life in the future. Also, with Meihe City's economy, 100,000 RMB compensation is rare.
Now, Dong Xuebing is getting 200,000 RMB?
It's not a small amount compared to the situation here.
It's not a small amount, but this is only to others. All the leaders in Zhen Shui County know 200,000 RMB is only worth a Land Rover steering wheel to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing ignored Zhao Xu and turned to Yao Cui. "Xiao Yao."
"I am here." Yao Cui walked over and looked at Dong Xuebing suspiciously.
Dong Xuebing said. "My wallet and bank cards are with you, right? Go to the bank later and transfer 2 million RMB to Chief Wei's account. "
Everyone was shocked.
2 million? What are you doing?
Wei Lin is the one paying you now. Why are you still paying Chief Wei?
"You are … …" Yao Cui was also puzzled. What are you doing?
But Dong Xuebing said. "200,000 RMB is enough to push someone down the stairs. Where else can I find such a good deal? I will pay the compensation first, and when I am in a good mood, I will go and push Chief Wei. If I am in a good mood, I will go and push him. I can push him ten times. "
Everyone understood what Dong Xuebing meant!
Damn! Are you trying to be a poor person??
Chen Xiaomei burst into laughter. Jiang Fangfang couldn't help but curl her lips.
Wei Lin, on the other hand, almost cursed out loud. Wasn't killing people just a little too much? I had already apologized to you, and what else do you want?
Zhao Xu was also furious. This Dong Xuebing is so mean. Will you die if you don't say a few words? How can you be so disgusting?
Furthermore, 2 million RMB?
Do you have so much money?!
But everyone in Zhen Shui County knows that Mayor Dong can afford 2 million RMB. That 4 million RMB Land Rover is still parked in front of the City's Finance Department. Everyone in Zhen Shui County had experienced Dong Xuebing's eloquence. Even when he was not in the right, he could still argue with a few County's Party Committee members until they were speechless. Now that he was in the right, how could he let them off?
