Chapter 289 Reluctance(1/2)
Chapter 289: Can't bear to leave
"Mr. Chang is in good health?" Zeng Yi asked.
Chang Junlong smiled on the phone and said, "Okay, it's all right. Thanks to Director Zeng. If you hadn't used your wonderful skills to rejuvenate, I wouldn't know how to suffer now!"
"It's just a matter of raising hands, why should you be polite?" Zeng Yi said politely.
"If Director Zeng is convenient, I would like to invite you to a simple meal and express my gratitude!" Chang Junlong smiled, "In addition, my friends in the capital also admire Director Zeng's medical skills very much. I want to meet you and get to know each other. I also ask Lord Zeng to enjoy the mission."
"Mr. Chang, unfortunately, I just arrived at the airport and was about to board the plane to return to Nanjiang. I was afraid I couldn't eat anymore. Why don't I talk about it when I returned to Nanjiang?" Zeng Yi first explained the situation and then said: "Actually, Mr. Chang really doesn't have to be so polite. You are a big investor in Baiyang City. Your health determines whether the project can progress smoothly. I am just doing my best."
Chang Junlong knew that Zeng Yi was not lying because he had heard the airport radio from the phone, so he had to give up and said, "Public is public and private is private, how can we confuse it? Since Director Zeng is inconvenient, then wait until we return to Nanjiang and I will ask you again!"
"Okay, that's it!" Zeng Yi laughed and hung up the phone.
Du Ruo stood not far away, put his hands on his hips and said, "Is there anything I have to deal with?"
Zeng Yi waved his hand and said, "It's all optional things. Let's go, the plane seems to be on time!"
The two walked in together, looking for boarding the plane. Xu Li carried a small suitcase in one hand and followed the two behind. After arriving in the capital, Xu Li found that most of the people who were dating Zeng Yi were secretly protected by bodyguards, and their strength was extraordinary. He had to take the initiative to avoid it and found a place to stay for a while.
When they found the gate, the ticket check had already started. The three of them followed the crowd and moved towards the gate.
As soon as Du Ruo handed over his boarding pass, when Zeng Yi's phone rang again behind him, he smiled and said, "It seems that the people in the capital are reluctant to leave you!"
Zeng Yi was also helpless. He took out the phone and found that it was another unfamiliar number, which was shown as the landline number in Beijing. He picked it up and said, "Hello!"
Meng Qunsheng's voice came from the phone, "Zeng Yi, are you still in the capital?"
Zeng Yi laughed, why do anyone who calls me and asks this question? He said, "I'm going to get on the plane soon. Does Brother Meng have any instructions?"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Meng Qunsheng said a little glad, "Don't be busy leaving now, come to me right now!"
Zeng Yi walked out of the queue for ticket checking, waved his hand and signaled Du Ruo to wait for him for a while, and then said, "Brother Meng, why are you so anxious?"
Meng Qunsheng said, "Stop asking, let's talk about it when we meet, I'll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Yi smiled bitterly: "Du Du, I really told you that I'm afraid I can't leave today!"
Du Ruo could say something else, and he could only laugh: "Look at this matter, I was going back to Nanjiang together, but it turned out that you saw me off. Haha. Okay, go and do it quickly. People in the capital can't live without you for a moment!"
"Then I'll just watch Director Du board the plane and I'll leave!"
Zeng Yi smiled, handed Du Ruo's small suitcase over, and then stood there watching Du Ruo disappear in the boarding passage, then turned around and left the waiting hall again, stopped the car and rushed into the city.
When he arrived at the building of the National Development and Reform Commission, Meng Qunsheng's car was placed at the gate. He stood outside the car smoking a cigarette. When he saw Zeng Yi, he raised his hand and greeted: "Zeng Yi, I'm waiting for you, get in the car!"
Zeng Yi followed two steps and asked, "What's the matter!"
"Get on the bus first!" Meng Qunsheng still didn't explain what was going on, but just asked Zeng Yi to get on the bus quickly.
After getting in the car, Meng Qunsheng signed up for the place, and the driver drove in one direction. After about ten minutes, the car arrived in front of a vermilion courtyard.
Zeng Yi then realized that this place seemed not far from Fang Nanguo's home. He visited Fang Yunshu, the old man of the Fang family a few days ago. He seemed to have passed by here. This area is full of courtyard houses, which is very easy to identify.
Meng Qun got off the car, stood in front of the door of Siheyuan, and gently pressed the doorbell twice. After a while, the door creaked and opened a gap.
"It's me, Qunsheng!" Meng Qunsheng smiled inside and said, "Director Li asked me to come here!"
The door opened much wider, and the person inside said, "It's Director Meng, please come in, Director Li has already explained it!" He said very politely, but he could not hear any enthusiasm.
Meng Qunsheng pointed at Zeng Yi again, "This is Dr. Zeng Yi and Zeng!"
"Please come in, please come in!" The person inside took only one foot and raised his hand to give up the passage.
Zeng Yi had some guesses in his heart where this was. It should be Li Zhaoxiong's home. Fang Yunshu had also worked in the General Office of the General Office before, so he lived nearby. I think this area is probably the General Office of the General Office of the General Office of the General Office.
If it was Li Zhaoxiong's home, that would be great. Zeng Yi had been in the capital for a few days, just to see if there was a chance to meet Li Zhaoxiong again, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Unexpectedly, he was about to go home, but Meng Qunsheng called him and took him to Li Zhaoxiong's home.
When I walked into the yard, it was much bigger than Yunshu's house. The yard in front was larger than Yunshu's whole house. However, the decorations in the yard were similar. A few wintersweet trees were planted and a pavilion was built, with stone tables and benches inside. The surroundings of the gazebo were surrounded by a small garden. There were no flowers in the garden at this time, and there were piles of snow piled up empty. It seemed that the snowman had melted and turned into a four-dimensional world.
"Please inside!"
The staff led Zeng Yi and Meng Qunsheng into the current house, which was a living room with a large air conditioner, very warm, and a set of antique wooden Hamburg furniture.
"Please have tea!"
The staff poured two cups of tea and put it on the coffee table in front of them. However, they did not leave, but stood aside.
Meng Qunsheng whispered in a low voice: "Zeng Yi, I think we'll sit here and wait for a while."
Zeng Yi said "hum" and then he understood what the staff member meant in the house, and was to monitor himself and not to walk around and read. But even thinking about it, he could understand that Li Zhaoxiong, as the deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, had special responsibilities and would inevitably have some official documents at home. If he found that there was a piece of paper missing here, he would be unable to explain it.
Thinking of this, Zeng Yi simply took out a magazine from his bag and sat on the sofa and read it with great pleasure. The magazine was originally used to pass the time on the plane, but who knew it would still come in handy here.
As a magazine was about to be read, there was finally movement outside the door. First, I heard a car parked at the door, and then I walked from outside the door to the yard and then outside the living room.
"Ahem!"
Two coughs came first, and then the living room door was pushed open. Li Zhaoxiong walked in, wearing a thick tweed coat and a mask on his face.
Meng Qunsheng and Zeng Yi stood up together and said, "Director Li!"
"Sit! Sit!" Li Zhaoxiong raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating that the two of them didn't have to be polite, and then asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"We have arrived just now!" Meng Qunsheng answered, taking two steps forward, taking Li Zhaoxiong's tweed coat and gently hanging it on the clothes hanger beside him.
"There is an urgent document that I have to send to the leader for review by myself. As a result, I am like this again. I am afraid of passing the cold to the leader. After a while, I spent a lot of time more than usual." Li Zhaoxiong explained a few words, walked to the sofa in front of the front and sat down, took off his pocket, and coughed softly twice.
Zeng Yi knew what Meng Qunsheng brought him here for. It turned out that he was treating Li Zhaoxiong's cold. Zeng Yi was a little puzzled. This was not a big problem, so why did he have to order him to treat it?
"It has snowed recently, and the temperature has changed a bit, and there are a lot of people catching colds!" Zeng Yi said.
"I have a lot of work, and I can't live without people for a while. I can't take a break!" Li Zhaoxiong smiled, picked up the hot tea he sent and started drinking it.
Zeng Yi said: "If Director Li can trust me, I can give it a try!"
"What can I trust this!" Li Zhaoxiong waved his hand, "Actually, I have invited you to sit at home for a long time, but unfortunately I have never been able to get free. Today I asked the group students to invite you over. There is nothing else, I just want to thank you for curing the old man's illness."
Zeng Yi smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Qiao is just a little ill, and I haven't helped much."
Li Zhaoxiong didn't say anything else. He put down his cup, stretched out a hand, and waited for Zeng Yi to take his pulse. He still couldn't help but coughed twice again. It seemed that his cold was still serious.
Seeing Li Zhaoxiong like this, Zeng Yi had a basic judgment in his mind. This is a cough caused by colds and colds. It is a very common disease. But to be safe, Zeng Yi went over to take his pulse, looked at the tongue coating, and finally took a *** warmth. Li Zhaoxiong had a little fever.
"Small problem, don't take medicine!" Zeng Yi concluded and said: "Cut some ginger slices, brew them with boiling water and drink them for two or three cups, and you'll see what you're doing!"
Meng Qunsheng said, "I'll do it now!"
Zeng Yi ordered again: "Cut the ginger slices thinner and take some rock sugar."
Meng Qunsheng remembered it all in his heart, and then went out to prepare with the staff. After a while, he came in with a tray, which contained two clean small bowls, one containing cut ginger slices and the other containing crystal clear rock candy, all filled with them.
The staff behind him were also carrying a thermos bottle containing boiling water.
"Zeng Yi, how much is appropriate?" Meng Qunsheng put the tray on the coffee table and brought a clean cup.
"Half a cup of ginger slices, four or five rock candies!" Zeng Yi talked about the amount.
Meng Qunsheng picked up a silver clip, picked up ginger slices and put them into the cup. While looking at Zeng Yi's expression, when Zeng Yi nodded, he picked up five rock candy and put them in, then picked up the thermos and poured the boiled boiling water in.
"Is this enough?" Meng Qunsheng asked. This was slightly different from the ginger soup he usually drank.
Zeng Yi nodded and said, "It will be ready to drink after brewing for two minutes. After drinking, add water."
Li Zhaoxiong watched Meng Qunsheng do all this, and smiled slightly on his face. He didn't care much about the glass of ginger rock sugar juice. He caught a cold once every winter, and he would definitely cough. The cold was easy to cure, but there was no good way to cough. It usually took seven or eight days to cure it, and sometimes it would take longer. He was used to it and did not expect any quick-acting method.
Moreover, he came to Zeng Yi today not to cure a cold. This is just a good excuse. He has something else to say.
Taking advantage of the time of making ginger tea, Li Zhaoxiong asked: "You have such good medical skills but have taken the path of politics. It's a pity!"
Zeng Yi smiled, "I am not the first one to abandon medicine and go to politics!"
Li Zhaoxiong then laughed. Not to mention the big figures who abandoned medicine and entered politics, not to mention the distance, but just those familiar to modern times include the founding father, Mr. Zhongshan, the great writer Lu Xun, and Zeng Yi, who answered this reason with this, and it would be impossible to convince you. Li Zhaoxiong smiled and said, "It seems that your ambition is quite small!"
As he said that, Li Zhaoxiong started coughing again. This time he coughed a little hard. He took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and covered it on his mouth.
Meng Qunsheng was a little nervous and stood behind Li Zhaoxiong, ready to pat his back.
Li Zhaoxiong raised his hand to stop Meng Qunsheng, then stopped coughing, and asked again: "When will Dr. Zeng return to Nanjiang?"
Zeng Yi said: "It's only in these two days."
Li Zhaoxiong nodded slightly and said, "Nanjiang is a good place and is very nourishing. I used to work and live in Nanjiang for a while and I have a lot of affection for Nanjiang. At that time, I didn't have this problem with coughing. This problem was only found after I arrived in the capital."
Zeng Yi thought to himself what Li Zhaoxiong meant, how could he suddenly say this? Is Li Zhaoxiong going to Nanjiang to work? This is impossible. Nanjiang has no place to let go of his great Buddha. Zeng Yi didn't understand what Li Zhaoxiong meant, so he said conservatively: "If Director Li is convenient, you are welcome to come to Nanjiang every year to recuperate. I believe it will be of great benefit to the body."
"Xiao Zeng, your statement is correct, but it's unrealistic!" Li Zhaoxiong started coughing again, finished coughing, and said, "After all, it's too far, so where can I go!"
Zeng Yi was a little able to grasp Li Zhaoxiong's meaning. Li Zhaoxiong did not accept his invitation or objected, but he said that your statement was unrealistic. This is equivalent to the leader raising shortcomings in your work. He said that you were unrealistic, which means that you wanted to make this work become a reality.
It is definitely unrealistic to let Li Zhaoxiong go to Nanjiang. Li Zhaoxiong is the deputy director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee. How could he leave the central chief behind to go to Nanjiang for recuperation because of a minor problem of coughing? But it is even more unrealistic to let the central chief leads go to Nanjiang.
Zeng Yi thought about it for a while and suddenly understood it a little. It was not that Qiao Wende was going to Nanjiang!
"In fact, there are many comrades in the head, just like Director Li. Although they are not suitable for the climate of the capital, they have to handle their duties and official duties on their shoulders, so they cannot leave the important place of the capital for a while." Zeng Yi looked at Li Zhaoxiong and said, "If these old leaders can live in Nanjiang, which is more suitable for maintenance after leaving office, I believe that the old leaders will live more comfortable in their old age."
Zeng Yi was just a small deputy department-level cadre and a deputy director of the management committee under the prefecture-level city. Even if Qiao Wende was going to Nanjiang, he was not qualified to issue this invitation, so he could only summarize it with the words "old leader".
Li Zhaoxiong nodded slightly. He knew that Zeng Yi had already understood what he meant and said, "In fact, the General Office of the CPC Central Committee had such considerations, but because he was not familiar with the following situation, he put it aside."
At this moment, Zeng Yi was stunned. Is Qiao Wende going to Nanjiang, or is the General Office of the CPC Central Committee going to place a group of outgoing veteran cadres in Nanjiang?
After Li Zhaoxiong said this, he grabbed the cup in front of him and said, "Is this something you should drink while it's hot?"
