Li Ming quickly left. When he left, he was a little dissatisfied. Li Rui watched him disappear around the corner of the building. He lamented in his heart that this godbrother had met a bad person. If he had his own ability to judge people, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation today. He had a lot of women around him, but none of them were as scheming and despicable as Zhao Yajun. Instead, they were all wholeheartedly thinking for his own good. If he could make friends with these beautiful and kind women, it could be said that his life was not in vain.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the weekend again. The provincial capital, Beigangzi Cemetery, called Huang Weining and said that the sealing and reinforcement system of Huang Xinghua's grave had been completed. They asked her to accompany them to place the urn into the grave. Huang Weining had not fully recovered, but she was almost recovered. She greeted Li Rui and went to Jingnan with Yang Xiang. Cindy and Jiang Meixian had returned from Malaysia. During this period, they stopped in Shanghai for a while to sign an official adaptation contract with Tang Feng Film and Television Company. Then, they brought along the people in charge of the pharmaceutical factory and the rubber tire factory to prepare for the early stage of the factory.
As for Li Rui, because Sun Shuqin was about to start the first stage of chemotherapy, which was very important for her disease, he and his boss, Song Chaoyang, took the train to Beijing and went to Xiehe Hospital to accompany her.
When he saw Sun Shuqin in the ward, Li Rui found that her physical and mental state was better than he had imagined. The head of the bed was raised, and she was leaning on it. Her hair was glossy, and her face was rosy. Her body was covered under a thin quilt in a hospital gown. Not much skin was exposed, but it was normal to feel that her body was relaxed. From her appearance, no one dared to believe that she was already in the middle stage of breast cancer.
Li Rui did not dare to look at her chest. Although it was covered with a quilt, and although he knew that it had been completely removed, he still did not dare to look at it. Thinking of the past, he sighed in his heart.
"Xiao Rui, why do you have such an expression? I've already thought it through. What else can't you think about? Don't be sad for me. Be happy. If you are all happy, I will be happier! Hehe. "
Sun Shuqin was in a good mood. It was unknown whether she had really thought things through or was pretending to be happy. She even took the initiative to "attack" Li Rui, who was not in a good mood.
Li Rui forced out a smile and said, "Yes, Teacher Sun, you are right to think this way. You should maintain a happy and relaxed mood now. This is the best way to recover."
Song Chaoyang took the opportunity to comfort Sun Shuqin. "Chemotherapy is actually just an infusion. There's nothing to be afraid of. Just relax and be strong. A few days will pass quickly."
Sun Shuqin said, "I'm not afraid at all. I'm just worried about my hair. I heard that after the chemotherapy started, I started to lose my hair. It's very bad. I can lose all my hair in a few days. The nurse said that if I really can't get over the psychological barrier, I can shave my hair first. But I can't bear to … "
As they were talking, someone knocked on the door. Li Rui walked over to open the door and saw two men standing outside. One was in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a suit and leather shoes. He looked very gentle and would easily give people a good impression. The other was in his thirties and was also dressed in a suit. He stood a step behind and looked like a subordinate.
Li Rui did not know these two people, but he still smiled and nodded to them. He asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Song Chaoyang walked two steps towards the door and saw the two people outside. He smiled and went forward to introduce them. "Xiao Rui, this is the director of Qingyang's Beijing office, Director Shao Shao Yugang … Yugang, this is my secretary, Li Rui."
Shao Yugang smiled and took the initiative to shake Li Rui's hand. He said, "Director Li, I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought. You're really young and promising. Hello, hello."
Li Ruixin was shocked. This guy was actually Qingyang's general agent in Beijing, the legendary head of the Beijing office, the director of the Beijing office? He quickly gave him both hands. "Director Shao, you're too polite. Hello, hello."
It was no wonder that Li Rui was shocked. In this era, the director of the Beijing office of a prefecture-level city was an extremely important person. Although his rank was the same as the leaders of the municipal government, he had the role of a bridge. He had control of the connections between the powerful cadres of the major ministries in Beijing and the leaders of the same hometown in Beijing. He was directly connected to the leaders of the municipal government. He controlled the lifeline of the entire city's resources and shouldered the heavy responsibility of running major city development projects. It was not an exaggeration to say that a good director of the Beijing office could accelerate the development of the city under his jurisdiction. On the other hand, a mediocre director of the Beijing office could also take advantage of the city's development opportunities.
Because of this, the person who could become the director of the office in the capital was not only a trusted aide of the city leader, but also a slick and capable official elite, or even an elite of the government and business. Although he did not have much of a presence in the city under his jurisdiction because he was stationed in Beijing all year round, his position in the city was not comparable to that of an ordinary divisional leader. Li Rui knew about this, so he did not dare to underestimate Shao Yugang. Instead, he valued him more.
After the two shook hands and exchanged greetings, Li Rui stepped aside and invited Shao Yugang into the house. Shao Yugang introduced Li Rui to the young man behind him. He was the deputy director of the Beijing office, Mao Wei. Li Rui also shook hands with Mao Wei. They were considered to be acquaintances.
"Yugang, didn't I tell you that you don't have to come here often? Why are you here again?"
Song Chaoyang said in a reprimanding tone, but there was a warm smile on his face.
Li Rui noticed his expression and knew that he had a good impression of Shao Yugang. From his words, he could deduce that when Sun Shuqin was hospitalized, Shao Yugang often came to visit and even help. Perhaps that was why Song Chaoyang was touched. However, he did not know if Shao Yugang was sincere or if he was taking advantage of the situation. If it was the latter, this person was very scheming.
Shao Yugang said, "Today is Saturday, and I am not very busy. I came to visit Teacher Sun. Teacher Sun is going to start her chemotherapy today, so I came to see if there is anything I can help with. Haha."
Sun Shuqin sat up and said with a smile, "Sorry to trouble you again, Director Shao. Actually, you don't have to worry about me all the time. The surgery was very successful. She will be fine after the chemotherapy and medicine."
Li Rui followed a few steps and said respectfully, "Director Shao, please sit here." As he said that, he pointed to a stool beside the bed.
Shao Yugang waved his hand and said, "No need. I have been sitting all the way here. Haha, Director Li, don't worry …" As he said that, he walked to the bedside and asked about Sun Shuqin's well-being.
Li Rui silently observed him from the side. Seeing that he was humble and kind, and the way he spoke was cultured and refined, he secretly nodded. He thought to himself that there were very few academic divisional officers like him in Qingyang City. Perhaps he was the only one. However, this was most likely a facade that he was deliberately showing to outsiders. The head of the Beijing Garrison Office had to be smooth and slick, a person who could speak well, and have the heart of a tiger that could sniff the roses. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to do the job well.
As the few of them were talking, the doctors and nurses pushed the medical cart into the room. When the head nurse saw that there were so many people in the room, she waved her hand at the door and said, "At most, one family member can stay in the room. The rest of you can leave first. The chemotherapy is about to start, so the room must be absolutely quiet."
When Li Rui, Shao Yugang, and Mao Wei heard this, they could only leave. Song Chaoyang walked Shao Yugang to the door and told him not to stay here. After that, he went back into the room.
In the corridor outside the door, Li Rui and Shao Yugang whispered for a while. They talked about each other's work and family life. Li Rui saw that Shao Yugang seemed to be interested in befriending him, so he became more friendly to him. At least on the surface, he was very friendly to him.
"Director Li, are you going to stay in Beijing for the weekend?"
At the end of the conversation, Shao Yugang asked a slightly strange question.
Li Rui said, "I'm not going back this afternoon. I'll be back tomorrow morning. If Director Shao is going back to Qingyang City, please contact me. I'll give you a welcome dinner." Shao Yugang smiled and said, "If you don't have anything to do, you can come back tomorrow morning. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. We can get to know each other better. What do you think?" Li Rui also wanted to leave tomorrow morning. He could see Zhuang Haixia at night, but he did not agree directly. He smiled and said, "I'll see. If there's nothing urgent, I won't be back. But I'll have to bother Director Shao." Shao Yugang was very happy and said, "Don't be so polite with me. We'll contact each other in the afternoon …"
After the chemotherapy started, Li Rui, Shao Yugang, and the other doctors and nurses walked out of the ward to visit Sun Shuqin. Time passed by as they chatted …
At noon, Shao Yugang said goodbye to Song Chaoyang and his wife. Li Rui also went out to eat. He also packed some food for Song Chaoyang.
During lunch, Li Rui sent a message to Zhuang Haixia. He told her that he was in Beijing and asked if she had any activities tonight.
Zhuang Haixia called him directly. Li Rui told her about Sun Shuqin's chemotherapy today.
Zhuang Haixia was naturally not interested and asked, "What do you want to do? Why don't we do the same thing as last time? I'll call An Ying and the three of us can drink together? " Li Rui did not want to call An Ying again. Although he wanted to see the woman who was sometimes dignified and sometimes flirtatious, he felt that he had to accompany Zhuang Haixia this time no matter what. He said, "Don't call An Ying. Just the two of us. Alcohol is not good. Let's not drink." Zhuang Haixia was very sensitive and said, "Why don't you call An Ying? You don't want to see her? What happened between you two? "
