What he meant was that it didn't matter what they thought. Anyway, the higher-level organization of the training, the Provincial Government General Office, approved of him. That was enough.
Yu Heping laughed when she heard that and said, "The Provincial Government General Office approved of you?! That's quite a big tone. This is the first time I've heard that. I don't have time now. I'll talk to you later. I have to find out how the Provincial Government General Office approved of you. "After she finished speaking, she laughed coldly and walked out.
Li Rui didn't care about his attitude and snorted. He watched as Zheng Meili walked past him and ignored him. She only chased after Yu Heping while Dong Jieyu stopped and looked over. He felt warm in his heart and thought that his wife was so obedient. He smiled at Dong Jieyu and said, "I just came back from training in the provincial capital. I'm going up to see Elder Huang."
Dong Jieyu nodded slightly and said, "Room 202, it's the one opposite. I'm going to send the mayor off. I won't go up with you." After she finished speaking, she left.
Li Rui glanced at her back and felt that she had lost some weight. However, he was very busy and didn't have time to think about it. He quickly walked to Yang Ping and said, "Let's go up quickly." The two walked up the stairs and Yang Ping asked in a soft voice, "The mayor doesn't seem to like you that much." Li Rui smiled and said, "It's impossible to make everyone like me. It's enough to make a few people like me, right?" Yang Ping smiled, but her face was soon filled with worry. She said in a low voice, "You have to try your best to make the leader like you. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if the leader wants to mess with you." Li Rui asked, "Let's talk about business. What illness does Elder Huang have?"
The two walked to the second floor and stopped for a while. Li Rui waited for Yang Ping to explain Elder Huang's illness before he opened the door to room 202.
According to Yang Ping's description, Elder Huang's illness seemed to be an ordinary cold from the analysis of the symptoms. However, the illness came with a vengeance. Elder Huang's old body collapsed as soon as it came, causing him to be bedridden. What was even more peculiar was that this type of cold was neither viral nor bacterial. No medicine could do anything about it. Some experts once suspected that it was the SARS virus that had been circulating in China for a while at the beginning of this century. This was because only this acute infectious disease had the symptoms of a cold and had a great harmful effect on the human body. However, after blood and respiratory tract analysis, this possibility was ruled out.
Now, all the top experts in the major hospitals in the city were helpless about Elder Huang's illness. Some experts even sent detailed data of Elder Huang's illness to their schoolmates in Beijing's Tongren Hospital, Peking Union Hospital, and other major hospitals. However, those experts had no clue. They only felt that Elder Huang's illness was really strange, completely beyond the scope of modern medical science.
After opening the door and entering the house, Li Rui first saw the boss, Song Chaoyang, and the secretary-general, Du Minsheng, standing in the living room. The two of them were discussing in a low voice. "… If it doesn't work, then quickly transfer to a famous hospital in Beijing. We can't afford any more delays. Elder Huang's bodyguard has the same idea … It's impossible to take a bus or train. It's best to borrow a medical helicopter and transfer him overnight …"
When Li Rui heard this, he felt that Elder Huang's illness was getting worse. He frowned and went forward to greet them. "Secretary, secretary-general, I'm back."
If it were any other time, the two leaders would definitely happily greet him when they saw him return after a long separation. However, the two of them were not in the mood now. Although they turned to look at him, they did not have any expression on their faces. They also had nothing to say to him.
Li Rui could understand the two leaders' anxiety. He whispered, "Is Elder Huang inside? Can I go in and see him? "Song Chaoyang shook his head." Don't disturb him if there's nothing important. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door quietly opened. A stocky middle-aged man walked out. Li Rui turned to look. When he saw him, he was shocked. Then, he was surprised and happy. He cried out involuntarily, "It's you!"
The middle-aged man was the attendant and bodyguard of the old man surnamed Huang whom Li Rui had met on the train back to Qingyang from Jingnan. Since he was here, it was needless to say that the old man surnamed Huang, who had given Li Rui the agarwood bracelet, was an elder of the Zhi Gong Party, a patriotic old overseas Chinese, Old Huang. Li Rui understood this point. That was why he was surprised and happy.
The man was also slightly surprised when he saw him. Soon, he broke into a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He nodded at him kindly.
Li Rui walked up to him in a few steps and asked, "The old man surnamed Huang I met on the train that day. Is he Elder Huang?" The man nodded. Li Rui frowned and said, "When I saw him, he was fine. His body was very healthy. But it's only been a week. How did he fall ill?" The man said bitterly, "Yes, it's hard to understand!" Although he spoke Chinese, it had the unique flavor of Chinese overseas. It sounded stiff and rigid. Fortunately, it was understandable.
Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng saw that he knew Elder Huang's bodyguard. They looked at each other and were very surprised.
At this time, Yang Ping, who was standing at the door, suddenly whispered, "Song Shuji, Secretary-General Du, the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference Chairman Zhang Keli and Vice-Chairman Liao Jinguang are here to visit Elder Huang again."
Song Chaoyang and Du Minsheng didn't show any reaction. They looked at the door indifferently. It was obvious that Zhang Keli and Liao Jinguang came here often.
Li Rui didn't care about which leader had arrived. He only asked Elder Huang's bodyguard, "How is Elder Huang now? Can I go in and see him?" The man thought for a moment and said, "He needs to rest more and talk less. You can go in and see him, but don't let him talk too much." Li Rui said, "Yes, yes. Don't worry."
The man turned and opened the bedroom door. Li Rui followed him in.
The light in the bedroom was good and the smell was good. There was no smell of disinfectant in the hospital. A skinny old man was lying on the bed, motionless. There were all kinds of medical equipment on both sides of the bed. A woman wearing a mask stood at the end of the bed. Other than her, there was no one else.
The man walked to the bed and stopped. Elder Huang noticed him coming back from the corner of his eyes. He turned his head slightly to look at him. The movement of turning his head was very slow and very difficult. It was obvious that he had used a lot of strength.
Li Rui went forward and took a closer look. If this old man wasn't the old man with the surname Huang, who he knew from the train? They hadn't seen each other for a few days. The old man, who was hale and hearty, cheerful and heroic, had now become a skinny old man. He couldn't help but feel sad when he saw him. He said softly, "Elder Huang, I'm here to visit you. Do you still remember me? I'm the little fellow from the village who talked to you on the train. "
Elder Huang opened his eyes slightly and stared at him. After a while, a smile appeared on his skinny old face. He opened his mouth and said, "It's you. You're here too …" His voice was weak, as if he was going to pass away at any time.
Li Rui didn't have much feelings for him, but when he heard his weak voice, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. He explained, "I'm the head of the Secretariat of the Municipal Party Committee. Song Shuji of the Municipal Party Committee is my leader. I knew that you were going to visit your hometown, but I didn't expect to meet you on the train. I went to the provincial capital for training this week. When I came back, I heard that you were sick, so I quickly came to see you. Are you okay? "
Elder Huang smiled and nodded. "I'm fine. I made you worry."
Li Rui didn't dare to say too much to him. He held the old man's skinny old hand that was outside the quilt. He was shocked. He remembered that his hand was not like this a week ago. How did it become so serious? He said, "Take care of yourself. I'll go out first."
Elder Huang nodded again and watched him leave the room.
When Li Rui returned to the living room, he saw that no one was there. He opened the door and went out. He saw that the people who were originally standing in the room were gathered outside and discussing in low voices. There was the boss, Song Chaoyang, the secretary-general, Du Minsheng, the good sister, Yang Ping, the chairman of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Keli, and the vice-chairman, Liao Jinguang. He hurried forward to greet Zhang Keli and Liao Jinguang.
"… Right now, all the drugs, whether imported or domestic, whether Western medicine or Chinese patent medicine, whether antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, are all ineffective. Using them on Mr. Huang is like pouring water on a rock. What's even more terrifying is that we can't use too many antibiotics on Mr. Huang. Otherwise, it will cause an inflammatory reaction in his other organs, which will make things worse and delay the course of his illness. "Also, I'm worried that even if we transfer him to a big hospital in Beijing, the doctors there won't be able to provide any good treatment. After all, the experts in Sea City General Hospital have already studied Elder Huang's condition with the alumni of Peking Union Medical College. The experts in Peking Union Medical College can only provide the same treatment as us. The medicine is also the same. There's nothing special about it."
These words were said by Yang Ping to the leaders present. After she finished speaking, she also felt deeply guilty. Her expression was ugly as she lowered her head. As a doctor, it was indeed the greatest sorrow to not be able to cure a patient.
When Song Chaoyang and the others heard this, they were heartbroken. To be honest, by now, Song Chaoyang and the other city leaders' utilitarian thoughts had completely disappeared. Now, it was purely out of love and concern for Elder Huang. They wholeheartedly wanted to cure him, but such a simple request could not be satisfied. It made them feel awkward and uncomfortable.
"Is there no better Western medicine? No matter how expensive it is, as long as it can cure Elder Huang's illness, we have to give it a try. "
The chairman of the Municipal Political Consultative Conference, Zhang Keli, suddenly said this. He stared at Yang Ping, hoping that she would give a hopeful answer.
Yang Ping smiled bitterly and shook her head. Her beautiful face was full of helplessness. She said, "We've tried all the available Western medicine. There's nothing better. If there was a medicine for the illness, it would have been tested long ago. I've been a doctor for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a strange illness. "
