Originally, Chen Jing arranged to meet Tang Zhi and also visit Gao Wei.
However, the old man of the Fang family suddenly became seriously ill, and everyone in the Fang family, including the Northwest Department, was extremely nervous. The second and third generations of the Fang family gathered together to visit the General Logistics Hospital.
Gao Wei called Chen Jing and said that he was going to Singapore for inspection immediately and might not have time to meet Chen Jing.
In response, Gao Wei laughed and said: "I'm not refusing. You are a big fat sheep in my eyes. If I have the opportunity to kill you, I will never let it go. It's just a pity that the leader arranged to go there this time.
We are about to leave for Singapore, so we can only meet next time."
Chen Jingdao: "Minister Gao, aren't you the leader yourself?"
Gao Wei smiled and said: "Leaders and leaders, do you think I'm free now? If I hadn't been assigned by the leader to run out like this privately, then people would have thought that I was running away with money, and the consequence would be that I would be wanted nationwide.
!”
Gao Wei said it very humorously, but it also revealed the sensitivity of his current position.
Deputy Minister of Finance, the real God of Wealth.
It is generally impossible for the God of Wealth to go abroad unless it is particularly necessary. Gao Wei may have a special reason for going abroad this time.
When talking to Gao Wei, Chen Jing didn't feel any pressure at all.
Gao Wei has an ability that always makes people feel that he does not look like a member of the officialdom.
He speaks humorously and interestingly, and does not use official accent or arrogance. He chats with people just like ordinary friends.
I have to say that this is one of his strengths.
Chen Jing was very fond of him.
It is conceivable that Gao Wei has also been in the officialdom for so many years.
How could he be as simple as he appeared?
Moreover, from the grassroots level to the position of leader of ministries and commissions, how many hardships did he have to go through during this period?
It's rare that he can still maintain such an open-minded, funny, and candid style, which is remarkable.
The schedule was disrupted, so Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi went to the General Logistics Hospital to visit Mr. Fang.
The old general's physical condition has been deteriorating in recent years.
Since last year, he has been hospitalized for a long time.
He has a chronic disease and is also old and frail.
The condition goes up and down. When it is good, I can speak and read normally. When it is bad, I am basically bedridden and my language ability is lost.
Whether it's the Fang family or the Northwest family, everyone knows that the old man's days are numbered.
Birth, old age, illness and death are natural laws. For ordinary people, it is still a happy event for someone as old as the old man to pass away.
But the old man is different after all.
He is one of the few remaining founding generals of the Republic.
He carries too much meaning on his body. As long as he still breathes, he will be of great significance to this country and its people.
For the Fang family and the Northwest family, it is even more meaningful.
No matter how seriously ill the old man is, no matter whether he still has the ability to pay attention to world affairs.
As long as he is breathing, he will always be the pillar of the Northwest Department.
This will never change.
Therefore, the old man is seriously ill, and everyone in the Northwest Department is very nervous.
When Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi arrived at the hospital.
Many people have gathered in the hospital, including the younger generation of the Fang family and officials from the Northwest Department in Beijing, including Tang Zhi.
Fang Lianjun was also there, and everyone looked solemn.
The arrival of Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi is quite noticeable.
In addition to Fang Wanqi's growing belly attracting people, Chen Jing is also the target of everyone's attention.
Chen Jing's reputation in Lingnan has begun to show, and he is now the official leader of a provincial-level unit and an alternate member of the provincial party committee.
Chen Jing now has two of the youngest in Lingnan.
One is the youngest deputy department-level cadre, and the other is the youngest alternate member of the provincial party committee.
This indicates that his future is boundless.
Fang Lianjun was relatively familiar with Chen Jing, so he quickly got together.
Chen Jing asked him about the situation in a low voice.
He shook his head and said: "The doctor said that grandpa needs to rest and it is not suitable to see guests for the time being. We can only wait outside!"
Chen Jing nodded, turned back to Fang Wanqi and said, "Please find a place to sit!"
In fact, there was no need for Chen Jing to remind him, someone had already come over to help Fang Wanqi sit down.
Chen Jing greeted the familiar people one by one and exchanged pleasantries was inevitable.
Tang Zhi also leaned over naturally.
Chen Jing smiled at him and said, "Hello, Brother Tang!"
Tang Zhi smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, when did you come to Beijing? Now that Wanqi is pregnant, you have to come back often to take care of her!"
Chen Jing nodded and said: "I will come back often in the second half of this year. It is easier to come back to Beijing now. I can take care of both business and private matters!"
Tang Zhi nodded and said: "I'm in the Discipline Inspection Commission now. If you have anything to do in the future, you can contact me more. How long will you stay this time?"
Chen Jing pondered for a moment and said: "It should be a few days away, but I'm not sure yet!"
"Okay, I'll just check Mr. Fang's condition in the next few days. If his condition improves, we can make an appointment to sit down. I have always longed for Lingnan, but I have never worked there. I envy you very much!" Tang Zhi said in a rather serious tone.
To be sincere.
When Chen Jing met Tang Zhi for the first time, the two talked very little and almost passed by each other.
At that time, Chen Jing vaguely felt that Tang Zhi was very reserved.
Tang Zhi's enthusiasm today made Chen Jing get to know him again.
Probably because of the last setback, he has become more and more mature.
Of course, it doesn't rule out that Chen Jing's position is now rising and he can finally gain an eye on his opponent.
These are not things that Chen Jing cares about. Chen Jing has been in the officialdom for so many years, and his mind is already different from before.
He didn't care at all whether he was liked or disliked by others.
There is not much desire to win.
The most important thing is to work down-to-earth, work conscientiously, network more, make friends with like-minded people, and consolidate your political foundation.
How much friendship is there to talk about above officialdom?
Everyone has a gay relationship with each other, and all are intertwined with interests. Maybe this statement sounds a bit extreme, but in terms of faith, Chen Jing believes in interests even more!
Just like today's occasion.
There were people in this room in small groups, and no one made any arrangements, so they naturally formed their own circles.
Fang Wanqi was surrounded by a group of sisters and brothers, most of whom were children from above.
And there is also a group of young military men.
In addition, there is a circle below the deputy directorate of the Beijing Ministries and Commissions.
Chen Jing, Fang Lianjun and Tang Zhi got together and started talking.
The formation of these circles cannot even be simply attributed to interests. At a higher level, it can be said to be like-minded, and at a lower level, it can be said that birds of a feather flock together!
Waiting patiently, no one left.
I waited for almost two hours.
The doctor came over and asked family representatives to come in.
Fang Lujian quickly followed the doctor in.
About ten minutes later, he walked out and said: "Okay, okay, my father is fine. He has woken up, but he is weak and can't talk much. Everyone has their own work, so there is no need to
Waiting here.
When the old man becomes a little tougher, you can come over and visit!"
When Fang Lujian spoke, everyone stood up one after another.
Fang Lujian waved to Fang Wanqi, and then looked towards Chen Jing.
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi came to his side.
He lowered his voice and said: "Grandpa heard that you were here and wanted to talk to you. He is very happy that you have a child!"
He turned to look at Chen Jing and said, "Please accompany Wanqi in. It shouldn't take too long, no more than ten minutes!"
Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi entered the special care ward side by side.
Ventilators and various vital sign monitoring instruments occupy more than half of the space in the ward.
The room temperature is constant and relatively cool.
Although the old man was seriously ill, the room did not have any peculiar smell, the windows were bright and clean, and it was spotless.
When Chen Jing entered the door, he saw a bonsai.
He recognized the bonsai at a glance as the same boxwood he gave to the old man.
Several years have passed, and this basin was not as lush as it is now, nor is it as clean and beautiful as it is now.
Every leaf of the green boxwood is full of vitality and spotless.
Under the light of the room, it seems that oil can flow out of the leaves.
Fang Wanqi was quite excited and burst into tears as soon as she entered the door.
She shook off Chen Jing's hand, walked quickly to the bed and called: "Grandpa..."
Mr. Fang lay on the bed with a pillow behind his back.
He was wearing a common blue patient gown and looked very haggard, but he was very clean.
There were some traces of dried saliva on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were still full of energy.
He moved a bit, as if he wanted to reach out his hand, but failed.
Fang Wanqi quickly reached out and grabbed his hand. The old man shook Fang Wanqi's hand with a smile on his lips: "It's harder to move your hands now than it was to capture a position back then!"
Chen Jing was originally calm, but when the old man said these words with difficulty, his eyes felt hazy for a moment.
The indifference and fearlessness in the old man shocked him.
How many people are so calm and optimistic about life and death?
Fang Wanqi had already burst into tears, and her tears were falling down.
Mr. Fang frowned slightly and said, "We won't die for the time being, so why are you crying so hard? It's not good for the child!"
Fang Wanqi wiped her tears and felt calmer.
The old man moved his head slightly, glanced at Chen Jing, and smiled without warning.
He seemed to be greeting Chen Jing, he seemed to be making fun of Fang Wanqi's fragility, and he seemed to have seen something funny.
This smile contained too much meaning. Chen Jing hurriedly came closer and called: "Grandpa!"
The old man stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, and said: "Lingnan is a good place, but I can't go there! You must cherish your work in Lingnan."
Chen Jing nodded solemnly.
The old man changed the subject and asked, "Have you checked whether it's a boy or a girl?"
Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
The old man said: "Don't check, it's illegal to check that. You can't do illegal things!"
There was a smile on his face again, and what he just said seemed to be a joke.
"Tell me when you're pregnant and hold me in your arms..." The old man was struggling to speak. Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi nodded almost at the same time. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
