After the call was connected, Li Rui said straightforwardly, "I'm not busy now. What's the matter?" Jiang Wei said, "I heard that the old director was hospitalized. I don't know if you know."
The two of them were master and disciple in name because they both came from the flood prevention office of the Municipal Water Conservancy Bureau. They could be considered to be from the same school. No matter which department they were transferred to later, this relationship would never change. However, the old director that Jiang Wei mentioned was not Yuan Jingjing.
Before Yuan Jingjing came to the flood control office, the director of the flood control office was a woman named Li Chunhui. She was in her fifties and had a gentle personality. She was gentle and never played tricks with others. She was so honest to everyone. When others were leaders, they were officials, but when she was a leader, she was a person. Her character was so good that anyone who mentioned her would give her a thumbs up.
This female director was very good to Li Rui and valued him very much. She had been working hard to cultivate him. Thanks to her efforts, Li Rui was promoted to a non-leading position of deputy director. If she continued to be in her position, Li Rui would be promoted to the position of Deputy Director in the future. It was a pity that she was old and could only retire from the second line according to the rules. After she left the flood prevention office, Li Rui naturally became a child without a mother. When his "stepmother," Yuan Jingjing, came, there were countless filthy things between them. Therefore, he had lived a miserable office life for more than two years.
During that time, Li Rui missed the old director countless times and hoped that she could come back and continue to be the director. Of course, he knew that this idea was ridiculous and impossible.
He was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Although Li Chunhui had retired, he still went to her house on New Year's Day and gave her some gifts. The main thing was to express his respect and gratitude to her. Li Chunhui's family liked him very much and did not treat him as an outsider.
At that time, he always quarreled with his ex-wife, Liu Liping, because he gave gifts to Li Chunhui's family. Liu Liping often said, "She has retired, so she has no value. Why do you still give her gifts? Are you stupid?" He could not help but argue a little, which usually caused a quarrel. After the quarrel, Liu Liping would also use the amount of money he gave as a standard and spend a sum of money to balance out her feelings.
The old director that Jiang Wei was talking about now was Li Chunhui. Li Chunhui took care of her a lot in the past.
Li Rui said in surprise, "I don't know. Why is she sick? What illness? Where does she live? " Jiang Wei said, "Don't ask me. I heard that she seems to be sick, and it's a serious illness.... and she is currently in the hospital. Her family seemed to have come to the station for some serious illness identification procedure. I'm not too sure. I want to ask you. If you want to go to the hospital to see her, call me too. I want to see her too. She was very good to me back then. "Li Rui was stunned and said," Wait, I will call her home and ask. "Jiang Wei said," Okay, then I will wait for your call. "Then she hung up.
Li Rui found Li Chunhui's home phone number from the phone book. He dialed it for a long time, but no one answered. He then dialed Li Chunhui's phone number. Then, someone answered, but it was not Li Chunhui herself.
Li Rui thought that the voice sounded like Li Chunhui's husband. He always called him Uncle Wang, so he said, "Uncle Wang, I am Li Rui." Uncle Wang said, "Oh, Xiao Rui, it's you. You are also thinking about Old Li's matter. Sigh, I am sorry to trouble you. Everyone is thinking about her. " Li Ruixin said that Director Li was so good to people. People's hearts were made of flesh. Naturally, people would think about her. In fact, this was not only a principle of being a person, but also of being an official. If you were an official and treated your subordinates well, you would naturally win their love and respect. He said, "I heard that Director Li is sick. Is that true? You see, I have been busy recently and have not had time to visit her at home. That's why I don't know about her current situation. I just heard this from my former colleagues. "
Uncle Wang sighed and said, "You are all good people. Our Old Li is no longer at her post, but you are still thinking about her. She is really causing you trouble." Li Rui said, "Uncle Wang, why do you always say that? If Director Li did not take care of us, how would we be where we are now? Is she sick? "Uncle Wang said," Yes, she is sick. Sigh, it is a serious illness. It is troublesome. "Li Rui's heart sank when he heard this. He thought that good people should not have bad karma. He hurriedly asked," What illness is it? "Uncle Wang said," Breast cancer. " Li Rui was so scared that he almost screamed. A wave of sadness and desolation immediately accumulated in his heart. He was stunned for a moment before he asked tentatively, "Is it early stage?" Uncle Wang said, "Yes, fortunately it is early stage." Li Rui asked, "Which hospital is she staying in now? I will visit her at night … "
It took Li Rui a long time to get the name of the hospital out of Uncle Wang's mouth. The main reason was that Uncle Wang felt that it was embarrassing for him to go to the hospital, so he was unwilling to say. Even if he finally said it, he repeatedly told him not to go. But how could he not go just because he did not want him to? Li Rui would visit the old director even if she had a normal illness, let alone a malignant cancer with a high mortality rate.
With a heavy heart, Li Rui called Jiang Wei and said, "I found out that the old director has breast cancer. She is currently hospitalized in the city's Women's and Children's Hospital. I plan to visit her at night. Are you coming?" Jiang Wei said in shock, "What? Breast cancer?" Li Rui nodded. Jiang Wei said in a panic, "Breast cancer is … can easily kill people. I have an aunt in the neighborhood who had breast cancer. She had both … both of them removed. But after a year, the cancer cells spread and she still died." Li Rui sighed and said, "Isn't that so? Are you going or not? "Jiang Wei said," Of course, I am going. I just said that I will go with you. Why are you still asking? " Li Rui said, "I will only be free at night, around nine o 'clock. Why don't you come to Qingyang Hotel and wait for me?"
Jiang Wei said, "Okay, call me when you get off work. What should I buy? "Li Rui said," I don't know. You decide. "Jiang Wei asked," What gift do you plan to buy? "Li Rui scratched his head when he heard that and said," I won't buy anything. She might not like it even if I buy her something. I will give her money directly. She can eat whatever she likes and buy whatever she likes. "Jiang Wei asked," How much will you give her? "Li Rui said," Five hundred is quite a lot, right? "Jiang Wei said," It is indeed quite a lot! " Li Rui could tell that she thought that he was giving too much, so he said, "You are not very close to the old director. She should be very happy that you can visit her. You can give her less. Give her two hundred." Jiang Wei said angrily, "Oh, let's visit her together. You give me five hundred and I give you two hundred. Isn't that a slap in my face?"
Li Rui said, "Then I will pay for it together with you." Jiang Wei snorted and said, "Who are you to me? Why should you pay for me?" Li Rui said, "Master, you don't want to admit it?" Jiang Wei said, "I don't eat handouts. It's not like I don't have money. Why should I let you pay for it?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "My good disciple, I am still very busy. Can we talk about it when we meet tonight?" Jiang Wei said, "As if I am not busy. Tsk, then go and do your work." Then she hung up the phone.
Li Rui was not annoyed by her tantrum. When he thought about the old director's illness, he had a headache. Why did good people not have good karma? The old director was such a good person. How did she get such a serious illness? Was the heavens blind?
After half the afternoon passed in a daze, he suddenly remembered that he still owed Shen Yuanzhu a meal this week. The meal was pushed to this week from last week. If he rejected it this week, he would be letting her down. After thinking about it, he decided to listen to her opinion first. If she pushed him too hard, then he would find time to meet her this weekend. If she did not push him too hard, then he would push it to next week.
He called her. After Shen Yuanzhu picked up the phone, she said bitterly, "Sigh, I thought you had forgotten about me." When he heard that, Li Rui felt as if he had seen a resentful woman who was not loved by a man. He could not help but laugh and said, "I was so busy this week that I didn't have time to contact you." Shen Yuanzhu said, "I remember you said the same thing last week." Li Rui said, "I still don't have time tonight. I already made an appointment in advance …" Shen Yuanzhu interrupted, "Which little girl did you make an appointment with?" Li Rui laughed involuntarily and said, "Let's go to the hospital to see my old director. What do you mean by making an appointment with a little girl? Your thoughts are so evil." Shen Yuanzhu asked curiously, "Your old director?" Li Rui explained, "She was a retired director."
Shen Yuanzhu said, "What happened to her? She was hospitalized? "Li Rui said," Breast cancer. "Shen Yuanzhu cried out," Aiya, such a disgusting disease! "Li Rui said," Who said it wasn't? " Shen Yuanzhu said, "She's retired and is still in her former unit. You still want to see her … En, you're really a good person. You're a loyal person. It's hard to meet someone like you nowadays, especially in a government unit." Li Rui blushed from her praise and said, "Let's not talk about her. Tell me, what are we going to do about this meal?" Shen Yuanzhu said, "Of course it's more important for you to do business. Why are you in such a hurry to eat? Hehe, actually I'm quite happy that you remember this matter. It seems like you haven't forgotten about me. "
These words were very intimate. Li Rui was embarrassed and said in a low voice, "I usually get off work early on weekends. I'll see when I have time to treat you to a meal." Shen Yuanzhu said, "Okay, I'm fine with anything. It depends on your time." Li Rui said, "Then it's settled. Wait for my call."
He did not have any evil intentions when he invited Shen Yuanzhu to a meal. His main purpose was to eat and improve their relationship. Of course, it was not a problem to say that it was to improve their relationship. As for what would happen at that time, it was up to him.
