Chapter 34: The Peak Returns May Not Turn (2)
When he went to work in the morning, Gao Ming saw Mr. Huang get out of the car and enter the building at the door of the newspaper office. After entering the office, he didn't think about anything, thought about it again and again for a while, and then didn't call Mr. Huang, and went directly to the eleventh floor.
When he arrived at the door of Mr. Huang's office, Gao Ming tried his best to calm himself down first, and then knocked on the door gently, and only after hearing Mr. Huang say please come in, he pushed the door open and walked into the room. Mr. Huang looked up and saw Gao Ming, the expression on his face was very calm, but he nodded slightly at him as usual, and said Gao Ming is here?
After Gao Ming sat down on the sofa, Mr. Huang poured a glass of water and put it in front of him, and then sat down next to him, looking at him but not speaking, waiting for Gao Ming to explain his intentions.
Gao Ming looked at Mr. Huang's face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and he couldn't tell what it was like. But when I thought of Chen Xiaowei's sad expression again, I couldn't care much about it. He raised his head, looked directly into Mr. Huang's eyes, and said to him clearly, Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, I'm going to resign!
A hint of surprise flashed in Mr. Huang's eyes, but he disappeared immediately, just smiled faintly and said Oh, you also have to resign. Why?
Gao Ming saw that he was pretending to be stupid, and a particularly aggrieved emotion immediately surged in his heart, and he didn't even think about opening his mouth to say it, I don't need to say anything about this at all, in fact, you and I know it very well in our hearts, so I don't want to say anything more. I'm here to say hello first, and after the meeting goes down, I will formally submit my resignation report to you, and please don't embarrass me again.
Mr. Huang looked at Gao Ming intently, and gradually there was some regret in his eyes, and after being silent for a moment, he shook his head, saying It's a pity that I have always misjudged you before, Gao Ming, I can conclude that you can't be a big thing in this life!
Gao Ming smiled self-deprecatingly and said Thank you, Mr. Huang! But I still think you are not mistaken, because I have never thought about what I want to do in my life.
Mr. Huang smiled bitterly, and said, in my life, I may be destined to betray my relatives and leave my relatives, and those who say that they will retire will retire, first Su Han and then you, but they all played with me.
When Gao Ming heard this, he inevitably felt desolate in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to change his mind, but as soon as he thought about it, Chen Xiaowei's resentful face immediately appeared in front of him. Gao Ming really couldn't bear to listen to Mr. Huang sigh about life anymore, so he stood up and said Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, I'll go down first if I have something, and I will have the opportunity to listen to your teachings in the future!
After that, he turned around and left, but he didn't take two steps when he heard Mr. Huang shouting in pain, Gao Ming, stop me!
Gao Ming stopped when he heard the sound, Mr. Huang got up and walked quickly to him, grabbed his hand, dragged him back directly, and pressed him to the sofa to sit down.
Gao Ming looked at Mr. Huang in surprise, he had been together for more than ten years, he had never seen Mr. Huang so emotional, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while. Due to the hurried action just now, Mr. Huang gasped slightly, but he never let go of Gao Ming.
The two of them stared at each other widely, and no one spoke for a long time, but in the end, Mr. Huang looked away. Mr. Huang said Gao Ming, if you really make up your mind to resign, I won't stop you, but there are a few words I still want to talk to you.
Gao Ming saw that Mr. Huang's face was full of helplessness, sadness and regret, he naturally knew what he was thinking, and really wanted to tell him the predicament he was facing, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it in the end, just sighed, and said Mr. Huang, you say, I'm listening.
Mr. Huang hesitated for a while before he said Gao Ming, let me tell you one thing first, you know that I have already reached retirement age, and we may not have many opportunities to talk like this in the future.
Gao Ming immediately understood what Mr. Huang meant. For a moment, thoughts flowed, but nothing was said. Mr. Huang has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and there are very few cases where something is clearly hinted at like this, which is actually equivalent to saying goodbye to Gao Ming. He suddenly felt very sorry for Mr. Huang in his heart, but at this time, he was separated from Mr. Huang in this way.
If you think about it calmly, Chen Xiaowei and Mr. Huang may not be wrong, but the fault is only Gao Ming. It is precisely because he did not deal with this matter decisively in the first place that he has caused the embarrassing situation now. If he didn't pretend to be smart, whether it was to Chen Xiaowei or Mr. Huang, and directly explain the consequences to them at the beginning, then at least he himself would not fall to the point of being unflattering on both sides.
Mr. Huang has adhered to the principle all his life, and it is impossible for him to make an exception. And Chen Xiaowei is so resentful of Mr. Huang and the newspaper, it is not incomprehensible. A kind woman has been wronged so much, how much more can she be expected to endure, and how much sacrifice can she make?
Since the balance in his heart has been completely tilted in favor of Chen Xiaowei, Gao Ming has no intention of making any more explanations at all. In order to prevent Mr. Huang from playing the emotional card, Gao Ming decided to take a quick decision and never say anything. At this point, it's nonsense to say anything.
The two were relatively silent for a long time, and finally Mr. Huang broke the deadlock and said I also have a son, a daughter and a family, so I can understand Gao Ming, you do this, but for the sake of colleagues over the years, I want to ask you to do me a favor, okay?
Gao Ming looked at Mr. Huang's sincere eyes, and the vigilance in his heart finally relaxed. Although he didn't speak, he also replied to Mr. Huang with sincere eyes.
Mr. Huang said again, can you postpone a few days before submitting your resignation report?
Gao Ming looked at Mr. Huang in confusion, and couldn't help but ask, why?
Mr. Huang avoided his gaze, turned his head to look at the calligraphy banner on the wall, and said that everyone in the newspaper knows that you have an awkward relationship with me because of your wife. I don't want people to think that you're deliberately slapping me in the face with your resignation.
When Gao Ming heard this, he looked at Mr. Huang in a daze, not knowing how to answer.
Mr. Huang hesitated for a moment and said, there is another reason, maybe in a few days, the newspaper will have a new leader, if you have to do this, it will make me and others look ugly.
Gao Ming thought about it, knowing that Mr. Huang was not entirely thinking about himself, and was about to say something on impulse, Chen Xiaowei faced the sad and helpless face of the computer, and suddenly appeared in front of him again, so he shook his head again, and said Mr. Huang, you don't know my current situation at all, I am in internal and external difficulties!
Mr. Huang looked at Gao Ming and pondered for a moment, then he also let out a long sigh and said Gao Ming, do you believe it? I have experienced this kind of thing back then, and I have made the same choice as you.
Gao Ming didn't speak, and waited quietly for Mr. Huang to say something. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang's words changed, but he said that there are some things in life that you are helpless, when you have a wolf in front of you and a tiger in the back, a cliff on the left and a sea on the right, and there is no way out, you have no choice but you must choose, so you can only ask for four words: worthy of your heart.
Mr. Huang's words are like Zen words, although it is incomprehensible, but Gao Ming thought about it carefully for a moment, and still had an understanding, and I believe that Mr. Huang also had a similar experience to him.
Mr. Huang said again, but no matter what, you can't complain about this and that. Because no matter what is right or wrong, no matter what the consequences, it may be your own choice, so it must also be borne by yourself, no one will help you, and no one will help you.
Gao Ming looked at Mr. Huang in a daze, not knowing what to say.
The two were silent for a while, and Gao Ming finally said Mr. Huang, I remember everything you said, but I have to think about what you said before replying to you.
Mr. Huang smiled faintly and said that if you can consider it, I am very satisfied. I will wait patiently for you.
Gao Ming stood up and said I'll go back first.
Mr. Huang nodded and didn't say anything more, Gao Ming turned around and slowly walked out of Mr. Huang's office.
Although Gao Ming had the heart to agree to Mr. Huang, he could only say that he had to consider it because he had to find out what Chen Xiaowei's attitude was towards this matter.
From Gao Ming's point of view, things are not complicated. As long as he is sincere, his determination to resign and the current specific situation of the newspaper are clearly explained to Chen Xiaowei, and he is moved by emotion and reason, he does not believe that Chen Xiaowei will not give him face, after all, one day husband and wife are kind for 100 days, and ten years of kindness are like the depth of the sea.
Gao Ming returned to the office, thought about it for a while, and called Chen Xiaowei, but Chen Xiaowei didn't answer at first, and hung up once. Gao Ming doesn't remember how many times he dialed, Chen Xiaowei finally answered, as soon as he spoke, it was hard to hear, Director Gao, if you want to understand the situation, you must be approved by the municipal government, the municipal public security bureau and the leaders of your newspaper!
Gao Ming didn't bother with her, and hurriedly said Xiaowei, I resigned to Mr. Huang!
When Chen Xiaowei heard this, she didn't taunt him anymore and let him continue.
Gao Ming then talked about the rest of the matter, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Xiaowei didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she interrupted him coldly and said, Gao Ming, listen to me well, if you don't slap the face of the person surnamed Huang this time, then you are slapping me in the face!
Chen Xiaowei's ruthlessness towards Mr. Huang surprised Gao Ming, and he was speechless. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the extent of Chen Xiaowei's injury, but now he found that the truth might be much more serious than he had originally thought. Gao Ming tried in vain to explain, but Chen Xiaowei had already hung up and didn't give him a chance.
Gao Ming was a little puzzled by Chen Xiaowei's persistence at the moment. Chen Xiaowei has always been popular in the hospital, so Gao Ming always thinks that she has a high emotional intelligence, but now he has to start doubting this statement. But Gao Ming may never have thought carefully about it, and persistence itself is a double-edged sword. If Chen Xiaowei hadn't been persistent, maybe she wouldn't have married him back then.
After Gao Ming called Chen Xiaowei again, he couldn't get in anymore, probably Chen Xiaowei had already pulled him into the blacklist.
Chen Xiaowei didn't tell Gao Ming that something happened at the hospital that day, and the conflict intensified again, and no matter how sincere Gao Ming's attitude was, it was more difficult to improve the relationship with Chen Xiaowei. But what Chen Xiaowei didn't expect was that when she spread her resentment to Gao Ming without scruples, it also pushed the relationship between husband and wife to the brink of crisis.
As soon as Zhu Jianguo walked into the office in the morning, he received a phone call saying that Liang Laosan and they were making trouble at the gate again. Without saying a word, he picked up the phone and called the police station in the jurisdiction, asking them to take action as soon as possible in accordance with the ban issued by the city bureau. The police station quickly dispatched the police and drove away the group of troublemakers.
As soon as the matter was dealt with, Director Ma's call came in. As soon as Zhu Jianguo took it, Director Ma said, Old Zhu, you have to announce that matter immediately! Someone is making trouble at the entrance of your hospital, and the above knows about it, and I heard that the city leaders are angry again.
Zhu Jianguo was silent for a while before he said Okay, Director Ma, I know. I'll take care of it myself.
Zhu Jianguo put down the phone, sat alone for a while, and then began to deal with the matter. When he called just now, he played a word game with Director Ma, saying that he would personally handle the matter, but he did not promise to announce it immediately.
From this moment on, Zhu Jianguo put his determination to break the kettle into practical action. Since he promised never to let Chen Xiaowei be wronged again, he had to find a way to fulfill it. The so-called selflessness is desireless, and desirelessness is rigid, which is nothing more than Zhu Jianguo's current mentality.
Zhu Jianguo first asked for the list of witnesses at the scene of the incident that day, checked the location of each person at the scene at that time, and then selected six people, including three patients and three hospital employees. At that time, they may have seen the details of Liang Laosan's hand movements.
Zhu Jianguo called the six people to his office one by one, talked to them pleasantly, and carefully asked everyone what they saw at that time. Judging from the details provided by these people, it can basically be determined that Liang Laosan played hooligan. But the six people all told Zhu Jianguo in unison that they didn't say this when the police collected evidence, because they had to make a written record at that time, and they also had to record it, so they didn't want to say it and didn't dare to say it, for fear of being retaliated against by hooligans afterwards.
However, what they didn't know was that Zhu Jianguo also quietly recorded audio with his mobile phone at this moment. His purpose in doing this was not to get along with the police, let alone for himself, but to protect Chen Xiaowei as a last resort.
After collecting evidence, Zhu Jianguo convened several hospital leaders for a short meeting to study the so-called doctor-patient incident and Chen Xiaowei's matter. A consensus was quickly reached on the doctor-patient incident, and it was determined that it was hooligans causing trouble, but the five people had two opinions on Chen Xiaowei's handling.
Lao Du, secretary of the party committee, and the two vice presidents believe that since the above has suspended them, they should be suspended, and the hospital does not have to bear any responsibility anyway, but the other vice president believes that they cannot be so irresponsible to their own people, and they do not understand the specific situation, so they should reflect it through normal channels.
Zhu Jianguo has been watching and listening silently, without saying a word, but he has already made up his mind in his heart. After everyone had finished speaking, he expressed his position, saying whether Chen Xiaowei should be suspended? My personal opinion is that it should not, at least not until the police make public its conclusions! I have said this, and I intend to do so, and I am personally willing to take full responsibility!
Since Zhu Jianguo has spoken to this extent, the others have not said anything more.
Lao Du asked, do you still have to convene a meeting of middle-level cadres?
Zhu Jianguo thought about it and said that he didn't need it for the time being, so he simply waited for the results to come out.
After the meeting ended, Zhu Jianguo immediately called Director Ma and reported the situation here. Director Ma was anxious when he heard this, and said Lao Zhu, do you understand the nature of doing this?
Zhu Jianguo said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "What did I do wrong?" and asked Director Ma to make it clear.
Director Ma was angry and anxious, his voice was a little trembling when he spoke, he said okay, Zhu Jianguo, you can do it, you can bear it! Then he hung up the phone.
Zhu Jianguo put down the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief. He planned to sort out his emotions first, and then he was ready to endure the next round of storms from somewhere.
