Lin Mai took the contact information left by the newspaper called "People's Life" and went to Puji Hospital to find Fang Zhuoran.
She wanted his help to come forward and let her borrow his office phone.
It’s already unbearable to live without a mobile phone. Even telephone calls are not widely available, so don’t be too sad.
Fang Zhuoran had to teach students and operate on patients in the afternoon.
After finally getting out of the operating room, I sat in the office and looked at the medical records.
I was quite surprised to see Lin Mai coming just before he got off work.
After learning her purpose, he immediately asked her to sit at his desk and use the phone.
Lin Mai followed the phone number left by the "People's Life" newspaper and quickly contacted the person in charge and the director.
Director Tong said on the phone: "Xiao Lin, you see I am very busy at work. We missed you this afternoon and wasted several hours.
At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, please come to our newspaper office to discuss the issue of reputational compensation. Thank you for your cooperation."
The director's tone was particularly kind, but his words were harsh.
Lin Mai's face sank and he was about to refute.
Fang Zhuoran had clearly heard every word that Director Tong said from the missed phone call.
His face suddenly turned cold, and he couldn't help but grab the phone receiver and said: "You are busy with work, but your time is precious.
People don’t have jobs and their time is not valuable, so they have to cooperate with you.
What are you busy with? If you are busy arranging your reporters to write articles without investigation and damage her reputation, then you might as well not be busy!
You have to understand that it was us, Maizi, who sued your newspaper, and your newspaper will undoubtedly lose this lawsuit.
If you want to resolve this matter properly, you have to beg me, Maizi, and reach an understanding with her, so that this matter can be reduced to a major issue and a trivial matter.
I don't understand. It's you who are asking for wheat, so why are you so arrogant?
Tell me your full name and I will complain to your leader!"
The "People's Life" newspaper listened to one side and believed whatever information Wang Rong broke to them, which caused Lin Mai's reputation to be damaged.
Although the impact was not big, it was because the little girl and he counterattacked quickly at that time, otherwise the consequences would be hard to say.
Fang Zhuoran has been angry with this newspaper for a long time, and now he can't bear this attitude.
The director on the other end of the phone was also angry: "Who are you? Are you qualified to intervene in this matter?"
She was still chattering on the phone, but Fang Zhuoran had already hung up.
He took out an address book from the desk drawer and flipped through it.
I found the phone number of the director of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, and reported everything he had just done to the director of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting.
Then express what you mean. Cadres like Director Tong, who know clearly that they are at fault but treat the victims with a bureaucratic look, do not need to stay in the newspaper office.
In order to avoid tarnishing the image of the newspaper and thus affecting the government's credibility.
Balabala, a few words raised the words and deeds of the director and I just now to a potential crisis level.
Lin Mai was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't expect that the professor was so eloquent that he could become a diplomat and compete with others.
On the other end of the phone, the director of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting touched his chest, which had undergone a heart bypass some time ago.
The situation was very bad at that time. For example, Zhuo Ran's senior professors did not dare to operate on him, mainly because they were not sure about the operation and were afraid of accidents and taking responsibility.
It was Professor Fang who stood up without hesitation and performed the operation on him, which was quite successful, otherwise he would have grass growing on his grave now.
The director of the Provincial Culture and Broadcasting Bureau laughed silently.
If you, Professor Fang, want to deal with a small newspaper cadre who is not qualified for a cadre position, you just need to give a shout. Are you afraid that I won't handle it for you?
Instead of raising the behavior of that reckless cadre to a potential crisis level, have you considered the problem of my poor heart?
After hanging up the phone, he ordered one of his men to contact the top boss of the newspaper and ask him to fire the fellow director who was a bureaucrat.
After Fang Zhuoran ended the call with the Provincial Culture and Broadcasting Director, he made another phone call.
This call was to a big leader he knew in the city who was in charge of economics, and he told him about Lin Mai's inconveniences because he didn't have a home phone.
Then he said that because he didn’t have a home phone, he would sometimes miss transactions.
Although Linmai's factory is a private enterprise, it can also generate tax revenue for the province and city.
If she has a home phone, she can discuss business with people at home, do more business, and pay more taxes.
Now the policy above has long been changed from focusing on the spirit to focusing on the economy, and the big leader also wishes that the economic data of his province would look better.
Although Linmai's clothing factory is not large in scale, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.
What's more, Professor Fang has come forward, so he has to give him this face.
So he agreed and arranged for staff from the telecommunications bureau to come to Lin Mai's door tomorrow to install a home phone.
He also enthusiastically asked Fang Zhuoran if he wanted to install telephones in Lin Mai's factory as well.
Whether it is the clothing factory or the vegetable market in Linmai, they are all purchased from state-owned units. They already have telephones when they buy them, so there is no need to install them again.
Instead, you can install a phone for each of Baohaochi Noodle Shop and BBQ Restaurant.
Fang Zhuoran made the request, and the big leader agreed without thinking.
Pretending to install one is just pretending, and installing three is also pretending. There is no need to refuse.
Lin Mai admired Fang Zhuoran so much that he could easily solve the problems that he could not solve.
The next morning, Lin Mai stayed at home and waited for staff from the telecommunications bureau to come to install the phone.
The city leaders greeted me, but it was different. Before nine o'clock in the morning, staff from the Telecommunications Bureau came.
After listening to Lin Mai's request, a staff member hesitated and said: "The initial installation fee for installing one phone is 1,500 yuan. Are you sure you want to install three phones?"
Lin Mai was startled for a moment. She didn't expect that installing a telephone in this era was so expensive.
In her previous life, she installed her first home phone in the 1990s, and the initial installation fee was more than 2,000 yuan.
But at that time, the salary of an ordinary worker was already one or two hundred, and the initial installation fee of more than two thousand was still barely acceptable.
But now, the salary of an ordinary worker is only 20 to 30 yuan, but the initial installation fee for the phone costs 1,500 yuan. It is really terrifying!
Although it was ridiculously expensive, Linmai still insisted on installing three phones.
The staff at the telecommunications bureau looked at her like a rich man and thought, this guy is really rich~
In this era, telephones were not installed in homes, and the staff of the telecommunications bureau had to pull the phone lines, so the installation was very time-consuming.
Lin Mai didn't rush them and would give them frozen soda or mung bean soup from time to time.
The busy schedule lasted until after ten o'clock, when several staff from the telecommunications bureau installed the telephones at Baohaochi Noodle Shop, Renjian Fireworks BBQ Restaurant, and Lin Mai's house.
At her request, an extension was installed in her room.
After seeing off the staff from the telecommunications bureau, Lin Mai went to Baohaochi Noodle Shop and picked up a few steamed buns to give to Doudou and Qiqi.
It is the age when the body grows. If you add a small meal before lunch, you will grow better.
At this time, someone entered Baohaochi Noodle Shop and asked about Lin Mai.
Lin Mai turned around and looked at the visitors. They were a middle-aged man and a young man.
Both of them exuded cultural atmosphere, and both of them had their hands full of gifts.
That middle-aged man looked like a cadre in terms of temperament.
Lin Mai asked: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
The middle-aged man smiled like a spring breeze on his face: "You are Comrade Xiaolin, hello, hello, I am Wang Dalong, the publicity director of People's Life Newspaper.
Yesterday, you were wronged due to the inappropriate words and deeds of our comrades. Today, on behalf of our newspaper, I would like to apologize to you."
Lin Mai nodded generously: "I accept the apology. Is there anything else?"
