Today was Friday. Even though he had to work tomorrow on Saturday, he did not have anything important to do in the two days after the holiday. Therefore, his work was very relaxed these two days. Li Rui took the opportunity to go back to his office in the First Department. He wanted to understand the work situation in the department and have a heart-to-heart talk with his subordinates to deepen their relationship. After all, he was a department head and had to shoulder the responsibilities of a department head.
When he arrived at the department, the little girl, Zhang Hui, was in front of the water dispenser getting water. It was already past the first of May. The weather was getting warmer and people's clothes were starting to become thinner. Zhang Hui was wearing a green T-shirt and a white chiffon blouse. She was wearing a pair of moon-yellow slim-fit trousers and a pair of black high heels. She was bending over in front of the water dispenser to get water. The tight fitting clothes accentuated her slender and youthful figure perfectly. She was really exquisite and immediately added a touch of light to this boring office.
Li Rui saw this and praised in his heart. He smiled and greeted her. "Zhang Hui, are you busy today?" After he finished speaking, he did not wait for her reply and continued to walk inside to greet his subordinates who were busy at the desks on both sides.
When everyone saw him coming, they all stood up to welcome him. Li Rui hurriedly asked them to sit back down. In the time it took to sit together, a lot of words were wasted.
Li Rui walked in front of his teacher, Yuan Xiaodi, and asked him about the situation before and after the holiday. In fact, before the holiday, he had already come to the department once. At that time, he had nothing to do. During the holiday, he was only on duty and had nothing to do. Although he did not have official business, he still had personal matters to attend to.
Yuan Xiaodi gave Li Rui a look and signaled him to talk outside.
The two of them went to the corridor outside and found a secluded place. Yuan Xiaodi whispered the situation to him.
It turned out that there was a deputy director in the department, named Lu Ming. He had a twelve-year-old daughter, who had been in poor health for the past six months. Her symptoms were weakness, frequent colds, stomachaches, and occasional bruises on her skin. They had gone to several big hospitals in the city, but they couldn't find anything wrong with her. It was really puzzling. This time, during the May Day holiday, the couple took their daughter to the provincial capital and did a thorough examination at the Provincial First People's Hospital. This time, they found the cause of the illness, but the results of the examination directly stunned the couple. It turned out that the little girl had acute leukemia.
Li Rui was shocked when he heard that. "Acute leukemia? Isn't it very serious? Will her life be in danger? " Yuan Xiaodi nodded. "It's very serious. She needs a bone marrow transplant immediately. The three best hospitals in the country to treat leukemia are in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shenzhen. The doctor of the First Provincial Hospital recommended Lu Ming and his wife to take their daughter to Beijing for the surgery." Li Rui frowned. "And then?"
Yuan Xiaodi said, "Lu Ming is facing two problems now. First, his family does not have enough money for the surgery. The cost of the surgery is estimated to be around six hundred thousand yuan. Just the bone marrow transplant alone requires a deposit of three hundred thousand yuan. But his family can only take out a hundred thousand yuan. They are still short of five hundred thousand yuan. Second, Lu Ming has to go to Beijing to take care of his child. He will not be able to go to work for a few months to half a year. This morning, he told me that he wanted to take a long leave and left again. He went to borrow money from his relatives and friends … "
Li Rui raised his eyebrows and said, "I can understand that he wants to take care of his child. But why can't his wife accompany him to Beijing? Isn't taking care of a child a woman's job? " Yuan Xiaodi said, "His wife is an accountant in a company. Her salary is more than twice his. Who do you think is better off for taking a leave?"
Li Rui could only smile bitterly. Yes, in the officialdom, not every civil servant was like him. On the surface, they looked so good, but on the inside, they were also very rich. Most civil servants were like Lu Ming, living with a dead salary of two thousand yuan. It was already difficult for them to live with such a small amount of money, let alone when they encountered a serious illness like leukemia. For Lu Ming, his daughter's illness was like the sky falling down. Perhaps, his family would become a poor family and never be able to get up again. This was a typical case of "poverty caused by illness".
Yuan Xiaodi sighed. "Lu Ming's leave will not last for half a year. Even if it is only for a few months, our department won't be able to survive. Now, the department is already very understaffed. If Lu Ming is missing, it will be even more troublesome. When the time comes, we won't be able to cope. I'm still worried about how to solve the problem caused by his leave. "
Li Rui composed himself and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Lu Ming doesn't have enough money for the surgery. Is there anything the First Department can do to help?" Yuan Xiaodi said with a gloomy expression, "I've also thought about it. We can use the First Department's name to make a donation within the scope of the General Office. Of course, it would be even better if it was within the scope of the Municipal Party Committee. I reckon that it will solve a small portion of the problem. Also, we can take out a portion of the money from our treasury and lend it to him first, but it won't be a lot. As for other things, we can't help much. "Li Rui asked," Does Lu Ming have social security? Can the medical insurance reimburse a portion of the treatment costs? " Yuan Xiaodi nodded and said, "Yes. I heard that it can reimburse 30% to 50% of the treatment costs. But because the treatment is done in a different place, it can only be reimbursed after the treatment. That means that we can't count on the money in the early stages of the treatment."
Li Rui thought about it and said, "How about this? Let's settle the matter of the donation during the day. I'll immediately look for the Secretary-General and ask him if we can make a donation in the name of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. After all, the General Office is the superior unit of the First Department of the Secretarial Department, and they are much more famous than the Secretarial Department. They have the responsibility, obligation, and favor to help us with this matter. Moreover, we can also receive a larger response and more donations. After work at night, the two of us will go to Lu Ming's house to take a look at the little girl and see how we can help Lu Ming solve some practical problems. "
Yuan Xiaodi nodded and looked at him with admiration. She clearly admired his enthusiasm and kindness.
After Li Rui finished speaking, he pondered for a while and said, "Let's first solve Lu Ming's problem. Then, we'll talk about his request for leave. We'll try our best to make sure that he doesn't request for leave or that he doesn't request for leave. Of course, we also have to be prepared. What if he has to request for leave for a long time? What should we do then? " After he finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Xiaodi and said, "Teacher, you've been in the First Department longer than I have. You have more experience than I do. I want to ask you, how do we deal with situations where we lack manpower in the past?"
Yuan Xiaodi said, "It's not difficult to deal with this. We just need to transfer manpower from other departments to help. For example, the First Department of the General Affairs Department, or the Second Department of the Secretarial Department. If it's really not possible, we can also borrow manpower from the other three departments. However, the efficiency of the people transferred will be reduced. After all, they won't be familiar with the work. "
Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then you can prepare for this first. I'll go look for the Secretary-General now. After we visit Lu Ming tonight, we'll finalize the final solution."
The two of them said goodbye outside the door. Li Rui immediately rushed to Secretary-General Du Minsheng's office.
"Yes, but we can only make this donation within the General Office. We can't extend it to other departments of the Municipal Party Committee. However, if other departments are willing to lend a helping hand, we won't reject them. Also, for this event, we can only encourage voluntary donations. We can't force them or use moral blackmail. "
After listening to Li Rui's explanation, Du Minsheng seemed to have given a lot of restrictions.
Even so, Li Rui was very satisfied. Helping Lu Ming raise funds was not a political mission or an important job. It was just an act of benevolence and righteousness. He should help as much as he could. He couldn't force himself or others to help. After all, it was just a favor. If he helped, it would be a favor. If he didn't help, it wouldn't be wrong. Du Minsheng had already given the most help within the scope of his authority. He couldn't be criticized.
For example, Li Rui actually had enough money to lend to Lu Ming for his daughter's treatment. However, having the money didn't mean that he had to lend it to Lu Ming. Even though he had always been a chivalrous person, when it came to this kind of thing, he wouldn't be a good person. He would just wave his hand and use his own money to help Lu Ming. That wasn't doing good, and it wasn't a good thing to be praised for.
But then again, this was Lu Ming's problem. Lu Ming had to take on this burden himself and solve the problem himself. As his superior, Li Rui had helped him raise funds and solve some of his problems. This was already very kind of him.
Li Rui thanked Du Minsheng on behalf of Lu Ming and turned to leave. However, he was stopped by Du Minsheng.
Du Minsheng said, "Last time, I mentioned to you that I wanted to give back to the dried fruit factory in Shuanghe County's Jiupo Town. I wanted to thank them for their contribution in helping the poor in our city. Do you still remember?" Li Ruixin's face lit up. "I remember. You said you wanted to help contact the government's purchasing department …" Du Minsheng asked, "You know the director of that dried fruit factory, right?" Li Rui nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. Haha, we always have dealings with each other." Du Minsheng said, "Good. Then tell him to send someone to the Municipal Government's purchasing department to contact the deputy director in charge of purchasing gifts, Tao Zhixin. Tell him that I recommended him. Director Tao will find someone to make the arrangements."
Li Rui nodded and asked with a smile, "Then, shouldn't we bribe Director Tao?" Du Minsheng shook his head. "No need. I've already talked to Tao Zhixin. We'll go directly to him. There's no need to beat around the bush. Tao Zhixin is a good person." Li Rui was very happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He said seriously, "Good. I'll inform the director later. There are a lot of holidays in the second half of the year, so he can prepare in advance. " Du Minsheng heard this and sighed. He looked at the calendar on his desk and said, "This year has passed so quickly. It's already May Day. It's almost the second half of the year."
