Chen? Hearing Ceng Maofan's quick reply, she smiled and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you at home the day after tomorrow." Then, she hung up the phone.
Because Lu Tao practiced martial arts all year round, his hearing was sharper than normal people. Sitting next to each other, he vaguely heard Ceng Maofan say "your birthday". His heart skipped a beat, and he recalled that when he was in university, Yang Xiaoting once told him that Chen? Chen's birthday was in July, but he had forgotten the exact date …
Thus, he smiled and asked, "?? Is it your birthday the day after tomorrow? I seem to remember that your birthday is in late July, right? "
Chen? She was not a shy person, so when Lu Tao asked, she openly admitted, "Yes, it's my birthday the day after tomorrow, so I invited you, Director Li, Chief Zeng, and the other leaders to my house for a meal. You won't reject, right?"
Lu Tao quickly said, "Of course I'll be there for your birthday! We've been classmates for four years, and every time you celebrate your birthday, it's during the summer holidays. After I started working, we were too far apart, so I haven't been able to celebrate your birthday. This time, even if you didn't invite me, I would still shamelessly go to your house for a big birthday meal, haha! "
Li Zitong heard that it was Chen's birthday the day after tomorrow. Knowing that Deputy Secretary Chen and Chief Zeng Maofan would definitely be there for her birthday, she was even more excited and quickly raised her teacup to Chen. With a cup of tea, she wished her a happy birthday in advance and thanked her for inviting her to her birthday party!
Chen? She also expressed her gratitude to Li Zitong, raised her teacup, and took a small sip. Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she frowned and said, "Director Li, you already know that Lu Tao was framed and wrongly accused, but he's not in your Qingxi County townsfolk group, so he can't explain and defend himself to them. If those townsfolk don't know the truth and spread the so-called pictures and videos of Lu Tao's' prostitution ', it will cause a lot of damage to Lu Tao's reputation! "
Li Zitong had been in politics for many years, so she was the best at figuring out the hidden meaning in the words of leaders. Although Chen? Her rank was much lower than his now, in his eyes and heart, she was more important than his superiors. Thus, every time she spoke to him, he would tilt his head and listen attentively, trying to figure out the true meaning behind her words.
Therefore, when he heard Chen's name at this moment, he was shocked. When she said those worried words, he thought for a moment and figured out what she meant. He also thought of a way to deal with it. He said, "???" This matter was easy to handle. I'll call Director Yuan from the monitoring room over right now and ask him to post a message to clarify the rumors for Lu Tao in the group chat. He will also clearly inform everyone that the owner of Yaqin Performing Arts who framed Lu Tao has been detained by the public security authorities. Then I followed up and asked everyone in the group not to believe the rumors, and to not spread the rumors. I also asked the group leader to kick the bar owner with the surname Liang out of the group. With the identities of Department Director Yuan and I, if we personally refute the rumors for Lu Tao, the villagers should believe us. "
Chen? The purpose of what she said just now was to get Li Zitong to do that. Therefore, after hearing his statement, she showed a look of approval on her face and gave him a thumbs up. "Director Li, you're so thoughtful. This way, Lu Tao didn't have to worry about being misunderstood. Thank you! "
Lu Tao also quickly thanked Li Zitong.
Then, Li Zitong called Yuan Cheng's office and asked him to come to her office. When he came in, Li Zitong first told Chen? She told him that she had invited him to dinner at her house on Saturday. He was so surprised that his eyes widened and he couldn't stop asking Chen Zhao. Thank you.
Then, Li Zitong told him what she said to Chen? She told him what she said and asked him to immediately post it on WeChat in the group chat to clarify the truth for Lu Tao and restore his reputation.
After leaving the provincial tax bureau, Lu Tao looked at his watch and said that he was going to visit Lin Susu at the hospital to persuade her not to commit suicide again. Chen? Originally, he wanted to go to the hospital to hear what Lin Susu had to say. However, he thought that Lin Susu might feel even more ashamed and blame herself after seeing him. That would only agitate her even more. Thus, he gave up on the idea and went straight home after saying goodbye to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao took a taxi to the Furong District Maternal and Child Care Hospital. He first went to the emergency room and found out that Lin Susu's injuries weren't serious. She had already been transferred to the inpatient department. Thus, he followed the room and bed number given to him by the emergency doctor and went straight to the surgical ward on the fifth floor of the inpatient department.
After passing by the nurses' station, Lu Tao saw that there were two police officers standing in front of a ward not far away. They were looking at their phones out of boredom. On the left side of the ward sat a thin and haggard boy with a worried face. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old. His eyebrows and eyes were very similar to Lin Susu's. He was probably her younger brother.
Lu Tao walked straight over and said to the police officer at the door, "Hello, my name is Lu Tao. Director Luo Zhihui called your leader this afternoon and allowed me to visit Lin Susu. I want to go in and talk to her. "
The police officer had probably seen Lu Tao at the Furong District Police Station before. After listening to him, he didn't ask for his ID. He just moved aside and motioned for Lu Tao to go in. At the same time, he reminded him, "Lin Susu's emotions are very unstable right now. She might not want to see you. If she gets angry or makes a fuss later, you must leave immediately to avoid any accidents. Just now, her younger brother went in to visit her and was kicked out by her. He can only sit on the chair outside and accompany her. "
Lu Tao hurriedly turned his head to look at the boy on the chair. Seeing that he was also looking at him expressionlessly, Lu Tao smiled at him and walked into the ward.
This was a three-person ward. However, because of Lin Susu's special situation, the other two beds were empty. A policewoman who stayed close to Lin Susu was leaning against the bed by the window. When she saw Lu Tao come in, she stared at him attentively but didn't say anything.
Lu Tao saw that Lin Susu was lying sideways on the bed with an IV drip in her hand. Her eyes were closed, as if she had fallen asleep. However, tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes, wetting the bedsheets and pillows. Lu Tao knew that she hadn't fallen asleep but had been crying silently.
Therefore, he walked to the bedside, bent down and said softly, "Miss Susu, I'm Lu Tao."
Lin Susu's eyes suddenly opened. She looked at him in horror and suddenly raised her hand to cover her face. She turned around and screamed, "Get out! Get out quickly … "
Lu Tao was just about to comfort her when the policewoman jumped off the bed and said to Lu Tao seriously, "Please get out immediately! She doesn't want to see anyone now! It wasn't easy for us to stabilize her emotions. If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow! "
