Lu Qingman smiled and said, "I don't like guessing riddles. Just tell me. Uh, I don't think it's much. It's just money to save face. Uncle Gao gave you this compensation, but what's really valuable is his promise. " Li Rui praised, "My wife is so smart. It's a total of two thousand yuan, but it's not even enough to pay for my treatment and hospitalization." Lu Qingman heard this and said, "Oh, do you have enough money? If not, I have some here. "She said as she went to get her bag. Li Rui quickly grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Your husband has money. I don't need to spend my wife's money. Besides, I'm just saying. I don't need to spend a single cent for my treatment and hospitalization. The hospital will pay for it all. Also, they'll buy me fruits. Hehe, I've never enjoyed this kind of treatment since I was young. " Lu Qingman sat next to Xi Mengsi and said with a gentle smile, "You ah, work hard. In the future, the treatment you'll enjoy will get better and better. For now, you'll develop in the city. Then, you'll go to the grassroots for a few years to get some gold plating. Then, you'll enter the province. Didn't Uncle Gao promise you that when the time comes, he'll get you a Deputy Director rank. "
Li Rui was shocked and said, "What? Deputy Director rank? "Lu Qingman smiled and said," Why are you so shocked? Is the Deputy Director rank that far out of reach? I'm almost promoted to Director. After that, won't I be promoted to Deputy Director? "Li Rui said," You're the daughter of Governor Lu. Of course, you'll be promoted quickly. But I … I'm just an unknown poor boy. Right now, I'm not even a Section Chief. How can I be promoted to Deputy Director so quickly? "Lu Qingman said," That's why you have to go to the grassroots to get some gold plating. You're still young. When you're my age, you might already be a Deputy Director. "Li Rui hurriedly said," What are you talking about? You make it sound like you're much older than me. My good wife, I'm telling you, in my eyes, you're like a little sister. In the future, you're not allowed to mention the age difference between us. "Lu Qingman's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard this. She said," Fine, I'll listen to you and won't mention it again. "Li Rui snorted," What if you mention it again? "Lu Qingman said," Whatever you say. "Li Rui chuckled," What if I spank you? " Lu Qingman said angrily, "You're so annoying. Don't be so frivolous. Did you forget what your head of publicity told you?"
While the two of them were joking around, there was a knock on the door. Tan Ruifang quickly walked in and whispered to the two of them, "The leaders of the Municipal Health Bureau and our hospital are here to see you." Li Rui was slightly startled and looked at Lu Qingman. Before the two of them had time to think, there was a series of footsteps outside.
A group of people walked in. The leader was a man in a shirt and trousers. He looked to be in his forties or fifties and had the air of a leader. He walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Director Li, we all came to see you. We came uninvited. Please don't mind us, haha." As he spoke, he had already walked in front of Simmons and extended his hand to shake Li Rui's hand.
As the saying goes, don't slap a smiling face. Li Rui obviously wouldn't refuse. He pretended to be flattered and extended his hand to shake the man's hand. He asked, "Hello, hello. May I ask who you are?" A middle-aged man walked over and introduced, "Director Li, this is the director of our Municipal Health Bureau, Director Chu Huimin. He personally came to see you." Li Rui hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Ah, so it's Director Chu. I really didn't recognize Mt. Tai. Director Chu, please don't mind. Also, my back is injured and I can't stand up. Please forgive me. " Chu Huimin hurriedly held him down and said, "Well said, well said, well said. Director Li, just lie down and recuperate. There's no need for formalities between us, haha."
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier also walked over. After Chu Huimin removed his hand, he took the initiative to extend his hand and smiled, "Director Li, I'm the director of the Second Hospital. My name is Jiang Jinfu. Are you living comfortably in the Second Hospital?" Li Rui could only continue to shake his hand and said, "Director Jiang, thank you very much. I also want to thank the hospital's leaders and medical staff for taking care of me. I'm living very well here. The doctors and nurses have also taken good care of me. I'm very grateful to all of you. "Jiang Jinfu smiled and said," This is what we should do to serve our leaders. " Li Rui cursed inwardly. What kind of leader am I? These people are really flattering me. It's all because of my boss, Song Chaoyang. He smiled and said, "I only suffered some superficial injuries. I feel very apologetic for troubling Director Chu and Director Jiang to come and visit me. Everyone, please take a seat, please take a seat. "
There wasn't enough space in the ward for so many people. Tan Ruifang only brought two stools over and placed them beside Chu Huimin and Jiang Jinfu.
Chu Huimin didn't sit down. He politely asked about Li Rui's injuries, his diet, treatment, and rest. Finally, he instructed Jiang Jinfu to organize a group of capable people to strengthen Li Rui's treatment and care so that he could recover and leave the hospital as soon as possible.
He didn't stay for long and left after saying some pleasantries. Before he left, he took out six banknotes and placed them beside Li Rui. Jiang Jinfu and the others followed suit and took out their own 'consolation money'. After a while, there was a pile of banknotes beside Li Rui. Li Rui couldn't push them away or stop them. When he wanted to say something, they had already left the room.
Li Rui sighed and said, "Why are these people so passionate?" Lu Qingman laughed and said, "It's just like the rumors say. These leaders earn more money when they're sick in the hospital than when they're working. Look, in such a short time, how much money have you received? "Li Rui said," I can't accept this money. "Lu Qingman said," If you can't accept it, how can you return it? Forget it, this is considered a normal exchange of favors. Just accept it. Worst comes to worst, when they're in trouble in the future, you can go over and contribute. In other words, you can return the money. " Li Rui nodded helplessly. He glanced at Tan Ruifang who was staring at the pile of money under him and waved at her. "Xiao Tan, come over and count the money."
"Okay …" Tan Ruifang agreed excitedly and ran over to count the money.
Lu Qingman didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said angrily, "Really, how can you let Xiao Tan help you like this?" Li Rui laughed and said, "Xiao Tan likes to count money. It's her hobby."
"A total of four thousand eight hundred!" Tan Ruifang quickly reported the total.
Li Rui was shocked. He looked at Lu Qingman and was speechless.
In the next few days, countless people came to visit Li Rui. These people seemed to have made an agreement. No one prepared any fruits or gifts. When they left, they all left a pile of bills and said, "Director Li, I don't know what you like to eat, so I didn't buy it. Leave some money and buy whatever you want to eat. Consider it a token of my sincerity. "
Among these people, it was reasonable if the people from the Municipal Party Committee came to visit. Li Rui was considered to be in the same unit as them after all. He didn't expect the Municipal Government, the Municipal People's Congress, and many other leaders of the Municipal Government to know about it and also came to visit. Li Rui didn't know many of these people. He had never even heard of them. However, it was natural for them to visit and give him money.
Later, the Director of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, Shi Guangming, also knew about it and also came to visit. He was very generous and gave two thousand yuan in one go. After he left, even Lu Qingman said, "This person must be a corrupt official."
What surprised Li Rui the most was that on Friday, Yao Xuefei also came to visit. She was different from the others. She bought flowers and fruits as gifts. At first glance, it was obvious that she was different from the people in front of her. She looked like she was visiting a patient.
Originally, Li Rui was very welcoming of her visit. However, his wife-to-be, Lu Qingman, was accompanying him in the ward. If she showed any signs of intimacy in her speech and actions, she was afraid that she would be discovered by the sensitive Lu Qingman. Therefore, when she entered the room, Li Rui gave her a look, reminding her to pay attention to Lu Qingman.
Yao Xuefei was an extremely intelligent girl. She understood the meaning of the song just by listening to it. After putting down the things, she said a few polite words to him. Then, she swayed her hips and gracefully walked away.
However, what Li Rui didn't expect was that after she left, Lu Qingman would ask him about his relationship with this beautiful woman.
Li Rui tried his best to put on a serious expression and said, "Oh, her. She's the city's television station's host and reporter. When I went out with Song Shuji for research, she accompanied us a few times. That's how I got to know her. I didn't expect this host to be so considerate. She specially came to visit me. "Lu Qingman said lightly," She's the only person who didn't give money. She's also the only person who gave flowers. "After she finished speaking, her eyes stared straight at him as if she wanted to see into his heart. Li Rui laughed and said, "What's wrong, wife? Are you jealous?" Lu Qingman said with a faint smile, "Why would I be jealous? I just feel that your relationship with this woman isn't normal. "Li Rui shook his head and said," Normal, very normal. I don't have a close relationship with her. As a host, her behavior is very different from normal people. It's understandable. "After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to ask and asked in confusion," How come so many people know that I'm hospitalized? "Lu Qingman said," There are no secrets in the political world. You're also the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary. Even if they don't give you face, they still have to come and flatter you. Anyway, there are only benefits to being on good terms with you. It won't cost them much. They can also receive a big favor from you. It's a good thing. "Li Rui smiled and said," Wife, you're so smart. "
On Sunday afternoon, Li Rui was finally discharged from the hospital after changing his dressing for the second time. Song Chaoyang sent Lao Zhou to drive the Municipal Party Committee's car number one to pick him up from the hospital. Four of his colleagues from the First Secretary's Department, including Deputy Director Yao Wei, Sun Dazhong, and Zhang Hui, rushed over to help him pack up. The City's Second Hospital's Director, Jiang Jinfu, led some of the hospital's leaders and relevant medical staff to send him off.
