Chapter 50: The Last Fig Leaf
Yu Chongming's showdown shocked Xiangbei. The layer of harmonious window paper that maintains the surface has finally been pierced, and everyone does not have to hide it.
In Xiang Bei's view, Yu Chongming does not represent himself, but represents some people in the Beijiang Evening News. This also means that he is going to completely break with the owner who has dedicated himself for 8 years.
Xiang Bei's mood has been separated from anger, more of a sadness. He could break with anyone in the newspaper, but he didn't want to break with the past eight years, and he didn't want to give up the profession he had promised. Erasing the past 8 years is actually a denial of oneself, and everything has to start again. This feeling is enough to make a person lose confidence and hope in life and the world.
Yu Chongming is not good at putting unsightly things in the open, he wants to say something to play with power, but his mouth is stupid and his head is even more stupid. After all, I am also mixed in the literati circle, and I still have this bit of shame. When the two of them talked about this, they already knew each other, and there was only one fig leaf left, so don't tear it off. Otherwise, if the two sides really see each other naked, who is small will be embarrassed. Leave the rest to Xiangbei's own choice!
"To the north, you think about it and think about your future, your family, and all that you have now. I'm doing this for your own good. ”
Xiang Bei sneered: "For my good, for your own sake!" This old fox is really an Oscar winner who was delayed by writing.
"You! You're really pedantic!" The ancients said that they couldn't stand without learning etiquette. Yu Chongming never expected that Xiangbei would become so unpolite, which was really disappointing.
Seeing that the peace negotiations ended in failure and a fierce war between the two sides was inevitable, Yu Chongming left a sentence: "I hope you weigh the pros and cons and don't be impulsive, after all, your arms can't twist your thighs." You must know that you are not fighting just a Beijiang Evening News, but a system!"
"Okay, let's try it!"
"Oh ......" Yu Chongming didn't know why he made such a strange movement, like a long and sharp alarm sound squeezed out of his throat. It's too embarrassing, it's too embarrassing, it's a bargain to talk to you to the north!
Yu Chongming broke out of the door and spat heavily at the door. At that moment, Xiangbei was furious and yelled at the door. The patient in the adjacent bed seems to notice that something is wrong, and the quilt is covered higher.
Yu Chongming walked out of the ward building angrily, and suddenly thought of Zhao Qingdong's advice yesterday, so he said to the accompanying reporters: "You go to drive, I'll wait for you here." ”
The reporter agreed to leave.
"Hey, President. Have you arrived at the unit?" or was in a good mood chatting with high-quality people, and Yu Chongming regained his smile. The position where he was standing was just at the tuyere, and the winter wind was whistling, which completely affected the play of Yu Shi's smile! He quickly lifted the curtain and hid in the glass door.
"yes, how's your side?"
"I just came out of the ward to the north. The results were not satisfactory, and the talks fell apart. ”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the microphone: "What did he say?"
Yu Chongming: "He said that he would never be a backpad, it's a big deal to tear his face." ”
Zhao Qingdong: "That's what he really said?"
Yu Chongming: "There are more than that." At that time we. There was a big quarrel, and the scene was very embarrassing. ”
Zhao Qingdong: "Since this is the case, there is no other way, we can be regarded as benevolent and righteous." Come back. ”
Yu Chongming didn't understand what Zhao Qingdong meant. Although he also knew that the newspaper would definitely intervene forcibly, he did not have the slightest trick on how to do this and how to develop. Obviously, compared with Zhao Qingdong, Yu Chongming's cultivation is far from enough.
Besides, in the ward, Xiang Bei was alone in bed for a full twenty minutes, his brain was blank, his head seemed to have been hit hard by a blunt object, and he had a splitting headache for a while.
This showdown was going to come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly and in such a way. And that's just the beginning.
When Zhou Xuecen walked into the room with breakfast, Xiang Bei was lying on the bed, covering his head with his hands and slamming the edge of the bed violently. He wanted to use it to relieve the severe pain.
"Husband, what's wrong with you, your head hurts again?" Zhou Xuecen hurriedly stepped forward, "My name is doctor." ”
"No, wife. I'll just take a break. ”
"I just saw Mr. Yu downstairs, and he ignored me when I greeted him, probably because he was on the phone and didn't see me. Zhou Xuecen smiled, put breakfast on the bedside table, helped Xiangbei sort out the quilt, and gently rubbed his head, "By the way, why did he leave so quickly? ”
Xiangbei didn't seem to hear it, and was still covering his head.
"How is it, are you better?" Zhou Xuecen rubbed it for a while, and saw that Xiangbei's expression was not as hideous as just now.
"Oh...... It's much better, it's okay......" Xiang Bei came back to his senses, bowed his head and was speechless......
"What did Yu Chongming say to you?" A discerning person can see at a glance that after just buying breakfast for a while, Xiang Bei's emotions fell from the peak to the bottom, and it was hard not to think that it was related to the conversation between him and Yu Chongming.
"Husband, what happened?" Zhou Xuecen remembered what the doctor said that if Xiangbei was stimulated again, his headache would attack at any time, "You fell out with Yu Chongming?"
"They had a big fight just now. Hey, after arguing for a long time, I can't listen to it anymore. After the quarrel, the man left. Those words are like a leader. The patient in the adjacent bed lifted the quilt and burst out with a word.
"What's going on?" Zhou Xuecen asked the patient.
"I don't understand what I'm saying. Anyway, it's all the kind of officials who say, what to think about clearly, it's good to do it yourself, it's hard to hear. ”
"Husband, is that so? You tell me the truth. It's all come to this, do you want to hide everything from me?" Worry and anger occupied Zhou Xuecen's brain, making her no longer calm.
Xiang Bei is not reluctant to say, he understands that he can't let his family wade into this troubled water. Before him, the newspaper had a lot of lessons to prove that Yu Chongming was not alarmist.
"Yu Chongming came to negotiate with me. They gave me two options, either take the initiative to take all the responsibilities and get together and disperse, or we can tear each other apart and find out thoroughly!"
"Then check, we're not afraid of him. Didn't you say it, it's not just about you? If we really get to that point, let's fight with him to the death!" Zhou Xuecen gritted his teeth in anger.
"That being said, but what am I going to fight with them? The initiative is in their hands. When it's time for a thorough investigation, they will do whatever they want, and I'll have to carry all the pots. ”
I have never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Xiang Bei has worked for so many years, and I have heard of many workplace routines, but now, it is my turn to experience it myself.
"These brutes! Beast Hearts!" Once a woman becomes angry with her beloved, I am afraid that she can only describe it as "crazy", "You have worked in the newspaper for so many years, and you are conscientious and diligent. There is no merit and hard work. But they do that to you. Are they still not people?"
"Wife, don't say any more. Xiang Bei looked at the patient, who seemed to be very interested in this gossip and was listening attentively. Xiangbei felt very embarrassed, hey, it was really thrown to grandma's house, "Let's get out of the hospital quickly, hurry up and ...... go"
Yu Chongming's threat made Xiangbei really frightened, and even hallucinated. He suddenly had a bad premonition, which made him not want to stay in the hospital for a minute! He wanted to go home, he wanted to lock the door and hide under the covers, he felt that it was his last fortress! He even thought that if he fell asleep, the next day might be the end of everything.
"Where are you going?" Zhou Xuecen was surprised.
"Home! ”
"Husband, your body hasn't fully recovered, why don't we listen to the doctor's opinion before making a decision. Zhou Xuecen is not opposed to being discharged from the hospital, but she is more concerned about Xiangbei's physical condition, and now, nothing is more important than treatment.
"Let's go, not a minute. ”
"Husband!"
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Xiangbei was so stubborn, Zhou Xuecen thought about it again and again, and felt that she still had to tell him the real condition: "Husband, in fact, your headache ......"
"Hey, what's the matter with you, you're making a lot of noise, what's going on?" the nurse heard the movement and rushed in.
"Nurse, we want to be discharged. Zhou Xuecen explained.
"Why, there's still a few days of medicine here. How can you just go?" the nurse was puzzled.
"This ...... There's something going on at home, and we have to go back. Zhou Xuecen casually found a reason to prevaricate.
"It's definitely not appropriate to be discharged from the hospital like this. Well, you guys wait a minute, I'll call Dr. Sun over and see what she thinks. ”
After a while, Dr. Sun walked in, and it was the half-silver-haired attending physician. From a distance, this Dr. Sun really looks like a white-haired witch.
"What's the matter, I heard that you are going to be discharged from the hospital?" The white-haired witch doctor was not in a hurry, and let Xiangbei lie on the hospital bed to rest, "Xiangbei, I can tell you that your condition is not stable now, if you just go like this, if something happens, we will not be responsible!"
"Doctor, just let me go. "Plead to the north.
"Why the hell, you have to give me a reason to explain it well. "The white-haired witch" asked.
Xiang Bei and Zhou Xuecen were speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"He was threatened that he didn't want to stay in the hospital. The patient next to the bed interjected again. This man doesn't talk much, but he gets to the point every time.
"Threaten, who threaten, threaten whom? This is a hospital, a place to treat the sick and save lives. He came over when he had a kind, and I was the first to refuse!" The "white-haired witch" was full of confidence and confidence.
Zhou Xuecen hesitated, and the mobile phone rang, it was Zhang Ke.
"Xuecen...... Why don't you come here...... Something happened!" Zhang Ke spoke tremblingly, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong, Zhang Ke!" Zhou Xuecen had an ominous premonition.
"Noyi...... Fainted!"
"What? What the hell is going on?!"
"He was fine in the morning...... I took him and the kids downstairs to play in the plaza and they were on the slide...... Play there on the slide, but ...... Soon...... After a while, Noyi began to have a nosebleed, and he couldn't breathe...... Then he started crying!" Zhang Ke spoke intermittently, "Xuecen, no one touched him when the accident happened, really!
"Zhang Ke, don't worry...... Zhou Xuecen told himself to calm down, but tears burst out of his eyes unobediently, "How long has it been since the incident?
"About ten minutes ago, my husband and I drove him to the hospital, but it hasn't been ...... yet."
"Which hospital to go to!"
"Hedong Children's Hospital. ”
"Okay, I'll get over right away!"
Zhou Xuecen returned to the ward, and the tears on her face were completely uncontrollable. Why is everything rushing together, what the hell is going on?!
Zhou Xuecen walked to Xiangbei's side and whispered: "Husband, as soon as Nuo has an accident, I have to hurry over!"
Xiangbei was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Xuecen: "I fainted, I'm going to the hospital, I have to rush over immediately." ”
"I'll go with you!" Xiang Bei lifted the quilt to go and change clothes.
"Husband, I think the doctor is right, this is a hospital, they don't dare to do anything. If your body is not fully recovered, you should stay in the hospital. I'll just go, you believe me!" Zhou Xuecen didn't have time to discuss with Xiang Bei who should go and who should stay.
Besides, Xiang Bei is weak and emotionally unstable at this time, even if he passes, it will not help much, but will be an additional burden.
……
The People's Hospital and the Children's Hospital are not too far apart, only a few dozen minutes by car. When Zhou Xuecen rushed to Hedong Children's Hospital, Zhang Ke and his family were queuing up with Nuoyi to register.
Although Hedong has just ushered in a heavy snowfall, the prolonged period of dry and warm weather has made this winter a period of high incidence of influenza, especially for children. At this time, the Hedong Children's Hospital was already overcrowded, and the registration queue alone was already hundreds of meters long. The sound of children's cries and noises and the busyness of adults in the entire waiting hall were mixed together, creating a chaotic scene.
Seeing Zhou Xuecen coming, Zhang Ke greeted him.
"Xuezen, I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Noyi. Zhang Ke was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Zhou Xuecen didn't have time to ask anything else, she took Nuoyi and observed carefully. Nuo's eyes were blank, his face was pale, and his breathing sounded very weak.
"Baby, where are you uncomfortable?" Zhou Xuecen asked softly as she struggled to control her emotions.
"Mom, my head hurts so much, I want to sleep......"
"Child, listen to my mother, let's not sleep, let's take a look at Dr. Zhao, just take a look. Dad promised you that he would buy you a very large excavator in two days. Zhou Xuecen burst into tears, holding the child and squeezing forward.
In the past, the children who were alive and kicking were like a soft noodle at this time, not crying, with their eyes slightly open, their little heads needed to be supported by their hands to stand up, and occasionally they would make a little weak cry. Seeing such a scene, Zhou Xuecen's eyes completely collapsed and she burst into tears.
"Mom, is that excavator going to dig up a lot of sand? Then I can play with other children. Noi smiled. This little ghost, at this time, is still thinking about toys.
Zhou Xuecen wiped away his tears, where he was, there were still thirty or forty people in front of him, looking at Nuoyi's condition, Zhou Xuecen felt that there would be unpredictable dangers for every second longer.
"Nurse, can you show us first, the child is twitching, it's about to die!" Zhou Xuecen saw a nurse passing by and grabbed the other party's arm.
"Bring the baby over!" the nurse opened the way in front, followed by several people, holding the child and trotting at a high speed.
