In the morning, Qi Tianxiang hurriedly washed up, hurriedly ate the breakfast prepared by Yan Li, and waited for Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang to come and pick him up. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] I called Xiao Zhang last night and asked him to inform Xiao Wang that he would pick him up early today, visit Brother Li in the hospital first, and then go to the unit.

I didn't have a good night's rest, my head was slightly cloudy, looking at Yan Li's worried eyes, I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. After many years of husband and wife, they know each other well, Yan Li's worries are speechless, not only worried about Brother Li's condition, but more worried about his emotions and body, so there is no way to explain it in words, so she can only silently make eye contact.

Fortunately, Xiao Wang arrived on time, Xiao Zhang came upstairs to invite him downstairs, only then did he glance at Yan Li affectionately, smiled slightly, and slowly followed Xiao Zhang downstairs.

The car drove straight to the front of the ward of the provincial hospital, Qi Tianxiang and Xiao Zhang walked quickly to the oncology ward, and when they arrived at the room where Brother Li lived, they saw the nurse cleaning up the bed, and asked puzzledly: "What about the patient in this bed?" ”

"I have already gone through the discharge procedures and left, and it was Dean Jing who personally handled it." The nurse stopped what she was doing, looked at Qi Tianxiang calmly and said.

"Dean Jing did it? Which well dean is there? Qi Tianxiang glanced at his watch, and before half past eight, he asked anxiously.

"I was still here just now, did I go to the doctor's office?" The nurse replied briefly.

"I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to come so early." With the words, Jing Zhenlin slowly walked into the ward, and said to Qi Tianxiang with a smile: "It's a pity that people can't stand your visit, so they went through the discharge procedures in advance, and now they are estimated to leave the hospital!" ”

Looking at Qi Tianxiang's disappointed and regretful expression, Jing Zhenlin couldn't bear to stimulate him, softened his tone, and said kindly: "Don't stand here, come to my office for a meeting, and I'll tell you the details." ”

Qi Tianxiang nodded helplessly, followed Jing Zhenlin out of the ward, and asked with concern as he walked: "You, the expert dean, don't you need to make rounds in the morning?" ”

"There's still time, start the rounds at half past nine." Jing Zhenlin turned his face and added with a smile: "You are such a big leader to inspect, and you are an old friend, how can I leave you enough time for consultation!" ”

Qi Tianxiang grinned indifferently and did not answer. He is not in the mood to joke now, not even to speak, his heart is full of Brother Li's condition and the reason for being discharged from the hospital. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Jing Zhenlin tell him personally.

Entering the office, Jing Zhenlin made a gesture to sit down, and was about to pour tea, but was quickly blocked by Xiao Zhang's eyes, and quickly took a cup to pour tea.

Jing Zhenlin glanced at Xiao Zhang with satisfaction, and said to Qi Tianxiang playfully: "It's good to have a secretary, and you don't have to do what you should do or not." ”

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, you're not in the mood." Looking at Qi Tianxiang's solemn expression, Jing Zhenlin said lightly: "I believe you have guessed a rough idea, and I won't hide it from you, it's too late, and I have no skills to return to the sky." ”

Jing Zhenlin sighed softly, and then said: "Before I came, it had spread in a large area, and the spread of bone cancer was amazing, although some medical measures were taken during this period of time, the actual effect was not optimistic. ”

"How much time do you have left?" Qi Tianxiang asked thoughtlessly, and the scene of Sister-in-law Li crying in front of him seemed to appear again, and his heart became more and more depressed.

"Whether it can survive this Spring Festival is still unknown." Jing Zhenlin shook his head in embarrassment, and said sincerely: "As a laid-off worker who has never been known in his life, you are so sad and sad, as a hospital director, a so-called well-known oncologist in China, watching the patient leave helplessly, my heart is also like a knife." ”

"It's not easy for you, thank you!" Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt that his emotions aroused Jing Zhenlin's guilt, so he reached out and patted the back of his hand gently, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made you sad." ”

"It's nothing if this disease can't be cured, no hospital is a rehabilitation center, no expert is a god, and the disease that can't be cured is also a natural law, but it is the greatest sorrow that it can't be cured." Jing Zhenlin became angry as he spoke, and said dissatisfiedly: "I have been doing clinical work for so many years, and I have seen how many patients have given up treatment because of lack of money!" ”

"It's not a normal phenomenon to look down on illness and go to school!" Qi Tianxiang said with emotion: "If you grow food for a year and work for a month, which is not enough to stay in a hospital for a few days, it is understandable that private hospitals or specialized hospitals can be comprehensive, but comprehensive public hospitals, with state funds, earn patients' diagnosis and treatment costs, is this a reasonable phenomenon?" Is keeping ordinary patients out of the door the only way for us to achieve social security? You can't enter the restaurant if you have high consumption, you can't eat the expensive meat, you can't buy the food if the price is high, you can't stop seeing it if you're sick, and you can't help but come to the hospital! ”

"Don't accuse me, there are indeed cases of excessive medical treatment, but in all fairness, the cost of diagnosis and treatment is not on the same order of magnitude as the cost of medicine, and it is unfair to criticize that piece, so comprehensive reform is the right way." Jing Zhenlin saw Qi Tianxiang's dissatisfaction, but he also said helplessly: "The price of medicine is already inflated, even if the hospital does not be a second-hand dealer and sells at a higher price, patients will not be able to bear it, and the threshold for medical insurance reimbursement is getting higher and higher, and no one can stay out of it." ”

"No matter how you say it, you can't let the people bear these things that should be undertaken by the government, you can't let the people buy eggs and chickens together, doctors are the most skilled jobs, and when you get to the hospital, you can only listen to the doctors, and you can't let the people judge what medicine is suitable and how much money it costs to see what disease." Qi Tianxiang was a little dissatisfied, and looked at his old classmates with anger in his eyes, "In the final analysis, this is a work of conscience, and the moral bottom line should still be observed." ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense, I completely agree, and I will do my best to do my part within the scope of my responsibility."

Jing Zhenlin responded with a slight smile, he knew what Qi Tianxiang was referring to, and he also understood his dissatisfaction, but there was very little he could do now, especially the problems in the system, which he could not solve, so a lot of dissatisfaction came from this aspect, there were doubts, righteous indignation, and more helplessness and resentment. He was reluctant to provoke him too much, and it was precisely his rare and commendable quality that a high-ranking cadre could have such righteous indignation, and this was also the place where they cherished each other.

Seeing that Qi Tianxiang didn't answer, Jing Zhenlin didn't seem to have any interest in continuing to argue, so he got up and walked to the coat rack, took out something from the pocket of his white coat, and silently put it in front of Qi Tianxiang, sighed with emotion, and said affectionately: "Alas, what a couple with noble character!" ”

"What is this?" Qi Tianxiang asked puzzled. Although I had already guessed what it was, I still asked subconsciously.

"Finish returning to Zhao, you give someone a bank card, people don't want it, if I hand it over, they will return it to you through me today, and there is an IOU, which is an IOU of more than 10,000 yuan transferred from your card." Jing Zhenlin explained, speaking slowly but obviously emotional, "From the time you come in for an examination to the hospitalization, these two can be saved." Originally, a two-person ward was arranged, but he insisted on changing to a six-person ward, just to save dozens of dollars a day. And your bank card, I swiped it once when I handed it over, and I haven't used it again. After so many days of treatment, a lot of money was spent, and it may be unbearable, so I took the initiative to ask to go home and continue the treatment. In such a difficult situation, but you don't want to use the money in your card, it's really backbone and admirable! ”

Qi Tianxiang silently picked up the IOU on the coffee table, looked at the IOU written one by one, felt a faint pain in his heart, slowly tore the IOU into pieces, slowly put the bank card into his pocket, looked at Jing Zhenlin fixedly, and said sincerely: "Thank you, big brother, thank you!" ”

"Don't say that, who is with each of us!" Jing Zhenlin was also excited, and couldn't help but say emotionally: "It's all for my conscience, and I'm all serious about being a person and doing things, and no one needs to thank me." ”

Qi Tianxiang was about to say something, but at this time, Xiao Zhang's mobile phone rang, so he turned his face to look at Xiao Zhang, and found that Xiao Zhang's face changed as soon as he heard a few words, and he felt that something seemed to be happening, and quietly waited for Xiao Zhang's reaction.

"Secretary Qi, something happened, which side of Chengling County is from?" Xiao Zhang said vaguely and hurriedly, as if all the words that should be said were in his uneasy eyes.

Qi Tianxiang immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Zhang's words, stood up and silently shook hands with Jing Zhenlin, and walked out of the dean's office quickly.

Sitting in the speeding Audi car, Qi Tianxiang answered Liu Jinfeng's phone and knew all about the emergency. This morning, Zhou Shengli, deputy general manager of Hezhou Heavy Machinery and general manager of the group's finance, committed suicide by jumping from the bathroom window of the Shuanggui Hotel, and his death has been confirmed.

From Liu Jinfeng's anxious narration, Qi Tianxiang quickly restored the cause of the incident, but he was more concerned about how Zhou Shengli committed suicide, and it was before the grand celebration of Hezhou Heavy Machinery Group, is this point in time a coincidence? Is it related to the rumors that he Qi Tianxiang is being investigated by the organization? What is the connection? And how can he have the opportunity to commit suicide, is it a regulatory issue, or is it intentional connivance?

Many question marks were entangled in Qi Tianxiang's mind, and it was not until the car drove into Chengling County that he gradually retracted his thoughts and focused on the environment and layout of the county.

Chengling County is an agricultural county under Decheng City, the economy is relatively lagging behind, but it has the location advantage of being close to Hezhou City, driving only half an hour's drive, more convenient and faster than some places in the city, many discerning enterprises and investment institutions, have paid attention to the development and investment of this county, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the feast of the provincial capital city, including the garrison and the armed police force, have begun to plan and build here.

The reason for choosing this place is, on the one hand, based on the fact that the county is relatively closed and the floating population is small; On the other hand, it is under the jurisdiction of Decheng City, and there is not much intersection with Hezhou City; The more important reason is that the hotel used belongs to the Provincial Armed Police Corps, which is said to be a training center, but in fact it is a sanatorium in disguise.

The sedan drove into the compound of the armed police training center, and Qi Tianxiang keenly saw some strange vehicles parked in the courtyard, and more than a dozen people gathered in front of the hotel, as if they were arguing about something.

Qi Tianxiang immediately realized something, and whispered to Xiao Wang: "Don't stop, drive directly to the back of the building." Then he gently patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder in the front row and said slowly: "Call Liu Jinfeng and ask about the situation." ”

The sedan quickly drove to the recreation area behind the training center building, like an ordinary vehicle for leisure consumption, without attracting the slightest attention from others. After the vehicle stopped, Qi Tianxiang did not get out of the car, quietly waiting for the result of Xiao Zhang's call.

"Director Liu is trapped." Xiao Zhang ended the call, turned his head to look at Qi Tianxiang and said anxiously: "I don't know who leaked the news, several reporters from provincial and municipal newspapers and TV stations, accompanied by Zhou Shengli's wife and relatives, just arrived, and just surrounded Director Liu, who went out to pick us up, to ask for an explanation!" Director Liu asked them to go to the conference room, but they didn't go, it seemed that they were waiting for someone. ”

Who will you be waiting for? Qi Tianxiang quickly adjusted his thoughts in his mind, thinking about who would care about this matter, and what heavyweights would wait. Although he vaguely guessed who it would be, he still couldn't believe his guess, after all, Zhou Shengli was a shuanggui person who was seriously involved in crimes, although he had not yet been transferred to the judicial organs, but the crimes he had borne were also unforgivable, would anyone come to this troubled water?

"Tell Lao Liu, explain patiently, wait patiently, and see what will happen." Qi Tianxiang thought slowly, and explained to Xiao Zhang, "Ask him when the people from the Provincial Public Security Department will arrive." ”

Seeing Xiao Zhang skillfully dialing the phone, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but raise his wrist and glanced at his watch, it was only a little more than two hours before the time happened, Zhou Shengli's wife and relatives got the news, and they also called the reporters together, and they arrived earlier than them, it seems that it is really not an ordinary source. This also confirms his speculation, this is not a simple suicide of fear of crime, let alone negligence, but a game that has been designed and planned a long time ago, Zhou Shengli is just a part of this game, the purpose is to use this suicide to muddy the water, so as to overturn the previous investigation and judgment, even if it does not achieve the goal of total denial, at least it can be through Zhou Shengli's death, end the investigation, and take the celebration as an opportunity to draw a complete end.
