Not long after watching the excitement, the laid-off commanders, an old man and a young man, received an urgent notice from the division leaders and the factory leaders, asking them to immediately rush to the hotel banquet hall to report for duty.

“…… The five-star red flag fluttered in the wind, and the victory song was so loud; Singing about our dear motherland, from now on to prosperity and strength...... Over the mountains, over the plains, across the rushing Yellow River and the Yangtze River; The vast and beautiful land is our dear hometown, and the heroic people have stood up! We are united and fraternal, strong as steel ......"

As soon as I walked into the door of the hotel, I heard a majestic military song playing inside. The officers of the Propaganda Department of the 315 Factory and the Propaganda Section of the Air D Division were busy hanging lanterns and erecting colorful flags, and there was a jubilant atmosphere everywhere.

The banquet hall was crowded, in addition to the medical team, security group, logistics group, propaganda group and financial team who participated in the battle of the free hospital, the station leaders and the leaders of the 315 factory also came, one by one smiling, talking together in twos and threes.

What made Dean Tian laugh and cry was that several propaganda officers were busy arranging the rostrum with the assistance of the hotel attendants. Party flags and military flags, pots of flowers, and scarlet carpets look so solemn.

Looking back at the table of delicious food and wine, Dean Tian was confused, walked quickly to Cheng Qiufang, who was chatting with Director Han, and asked confusedly: "Political commissar, is this a casual meal or a meeting?" ”

"What casual meal? It's a celebration feast! ”

Without waiting for the political commissar to speak, Director Han, who was the most well-informed, leaned into his ear and smiled with a smile: "Xiao Tian, we are in the limelight this time!" The division had just received a notice from Deputy Commander Shi that he would personally come over and read out the order of the region to give us meritorious service. ”

Although the discovery of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital is not good news for the local political axe, it has sounded a wake-up call for the Eastern Naval Region. And the establishment of a blood laboratory and blood bank promised by Deputy Political Commissar Peng and Deputy Commander Shi before did not only refer to the Air Division alone.

Dean Tian could even imagine that in order to ensure the safety of the troops stationed in the many areas affected by AIDS, other Longjiang garrisons such as the Zhouqiao Brigade of the R Group Army would also be treated equally. After all, what happened in Longjiang was so terrible that it was difficult for the military to trust the local medical institutions anymore.

Instructor Yang came over, looked Dean Tian up and down with a smile, and said with envy: "According to the usual practice, the military and political chief officers who have been awarded the collective second-class meritorious service unit will also be awarded the third-class meritorious service accordingly. Oda ...... You and the commissar are in for a treat. ”

Cheng Qiufang waved her hand and said with a smile: "Instructor, speaking of which, I am an outsider, and this third-class merit is not my turn." On the contrary, you and Captain Jiang are very hopeful, don't believe it, let's see. ”

"Oda, come here!"

I was about to say something, when I saw Director Zhao standing at the table in front of the rostrum, waving his hand to this side. Dean Tian hurriedly said hello to Political Commissar Cheng and Director Han, threw down the walkie-talkie and ran over.

"Mr. Zhao is good, Deputy Secretary Chang is good, Deputy Secretary Yuan is good ......"

"It's all your own people, what's polite?"

Deputy Secretary Chang patted him on the shoulder, pointed to the rostrum that was being arranged, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tian, you have won glory for our 315 factory this time." The head of the general assembly will be here tomorrow morning, and you will go with us to the outfield to greet you. ”

The uninformed rejoice, and the insiders are worried! Dean Tian sighed lightly, glanced back at the expressionless Director Zhao, and said with a wry smile: "Deputy Secretary Chang, I'm not the person from the general assembly, it's not appropriate to go together to greet you, right?" ”

Half a month has passed, and the work of the deputy secretary has not been done in vain. Although Dean Tian was still wearing the uniform of an Air Force soldier, he was already a lieutenant officer stationed in the military representative office of the 315 factory on file. But there are too many things going on right now, and this situation cannot be made public. What's more, the 315 factory does not need officers at all, and is in full swing to carry out its operation, ready to help him go through the procedures for demobilization on the spot.

"Isn't the contract signed? If you sign it, you're a family. ”

Deputy Secretary Chang handed over a cigarette and continued proudly: "Although the head of the general assembly has not yet arrived, the commendation order has arrived. The issue of the reorganization of the state-owned assets of the hospital will be put on the agenda when the matter in front of you is over, and you will have to study the reorganization plan now. ”

This is good news, the relationship between the 315 factory hospital and the airport outpatient clinic is too delicate. The reason why we can cooperate closely during this period is because the great enemy is currently in a unified manner. If we don't solve the problem fundamentally, then the next work really can't be carried out.

Dean Tian pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "President Zhao, Deputy Secretary Chang, regardless of fixed assets and medical staff, there are many more factories and hospitals than airport outpatient clinics. If it is really integrated, then the hospital is under the leadership of the 315 factory or the leadership of the empty D division? ”

"Let the chiefs have a headache with this question, and we don't have to worry about it."

After a pause, Director Zhao pointed in the direction of the labor service company and said with a smug smile: "Xiao Tian, your teacher is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He knocked all the bamboo poles you wanted to knock, and there was an unexpected gain. ”

"What's the catch?" This situation surprised Dean Tian a little, after all, he didn't know much about Deputy Commander Shi.

Director Zhao looked around, and then whispered in his ear: "All the money spent on free medical care is reimbursed, and the money is from the province." In addition, Vice Governor Lin also nodded his head on financial subsidies, and even included the Air Force Hospital in the public-funded medical system and designated it as a 120 emergency hospital in the development zone. ”

"How much is the subsidy?" The news was still in the dark, and as soon as Director Zhao finished speaking, he asked eagerly.

"People are members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, can they manage these small things? Besides, Deputy Commander Shi just hinted that how could a person of their status sit down and bargain like a businessman? ”

Director Zhao looked at Dean Tian with a smile and continued meaningfully: "I'm thinking about this...... In the end, let your kid talk to the city leaders, after all, you have experience in this area, even if the talks collapse, there is still room for maneuver. ”

The good guys have been done by them, and they are really not ordinary cunning. Dean Tian rubbed his face and said with a wry smile: "There are many lice that don't itch, and there are many debts that don't worry, just talk about it, what's the big deal?" ”

While speaking, Chief of Staff Xiao of the Air Division walked in with several staff officers of the Military Affairs Section. After glancing around at everyone, he walked to the microphone of the rostrum, and ordered with great seriousness: "All of them, stand upright ......!" ”

With the sound of chairs clattering, everyone stood up in unison, and looked at the door of the banquet hall in unison.

"Onward! Forward! Forward! …… Our team is like the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation, and we are an invincible force...... From fearless, never yielding, fighting valiantly, until the reactionaries are wiped out, the banner of [***] is flying high......! ”

Deputy Commander Shi of the Air Force of the Military Region, leaders of the Logistics Department of the Region, the Logistics Department of the Air Force of the Military Region, and the Health Department of the Air Force of the Military Region, while clapping their hands, accompanied Lin Ruiyan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor, Gong Xudong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Liu Dongchuan, Director of the Department of Health, Liu Dongchuan, Secretary of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee, and Wang Hongwei, Mayor of the People's Liberation Army, stepped on the song of "March of the People's Liberation Army" and walked into the banquet hall.

Division Commander Xu, Political Commissar Wang, and several other members of the division Standing Committee cautiously followed behind everyone. While clapping his hands, he looked at Dean Chaotian twice, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chief of Staff Xiao immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Comrade Deputy Commander, all the personnel of the Longjiang Air Force Hospital, warmly welcome the arrival of the chiefs, please instruct!" ”

"Take a break!"

"Yes!"

Deputy Commander Shi glanced back at the rostrum, then turned around and asked with a smile, "Vice Governor Lin, will you come first or will I come first?" ”

Vice Governor Lin waved his hand, pointed in the direction of the rostrum, and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Shi, how can I dominate the guests?" You first please. ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Deputy Commander Shi nodded slightly, took an order from the secretary, walked to the microphone with his head held high, coughed dryly, and shouted very seriously: "Comrades, ......!" ”

With the sound of heel collision with "bang", everyone, including the cadres and employees of the 315 factory, stood up in unison.

"Please take a break!"

Deputy Commander Shi glanced around at everyone, raised the order in his hand, and read aloud: "The following is the order of the Political Department of the Eastern Naval Region Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!" ”

There was another "bang" sound of heel collision, and everyone who had just taken a break stood up again without squinting and without squinting.

"Order No. 21 of 1998 of the Eastern Naval Region: Chinese the Longjiang Air Force Hospital of the People's Liberation Army, persist in carrying forward the fine traditions of our party and our army, and organize medical teams to go deep into the rural areas of the garrison on the premise of ensuring the medical support of the troops, so as to ...... the health of the people stationed there. has made outstanding contributions. In order to commend the advanced and boost morale, the Eastern Naval Region has decided: to give Longjiang Air Force Hospital a collective second-class meritorious service! ”

The march of the People's Liberation Army sounded again, and in the midst of warm applause, Dean Tian and Political Commissar Cheng stepped forward to salute and receive the second-class meritorious service certificate from Deputy Commander Shi on behalf of the Eastern Naval Region Command and the Political Department.

It has been many years since the medical team was not properly advanced, and there is no difference between the second-class meritorious service of the Air Force Hospital and the second-class meritorious service of the medical team, and veteran comrades such as Captain Jiang, Director Han, and Director Gu could not help but leave tears of excitement.

The collective second-class merit is an individual third-class merit, and to everyone's ecstasy, not only Dean Tian and Cheng Political Commissar were put on a big red flower. Captain Jiang, Instructor Yang, Director Han, Head Nurse He Lan and others of the health team were also named one by one, stepped forward, put on a big red flower, and received a third-class merit certificate.

As soon as the propaganda section officer finished taking the photo, Deputy Commander Shi stepped aside, pointed at Vice Governor Lin and continued: "Comrades, I would like to invite Comrade Lin Ruiyan, executive vice governor of the People's Political Axe of J Province, to read out the order of the Provincial Political Axe. ”

Although Deputy Commander Shi did not say much during his briefing, when he saw the nearly 3,000 difficult patients from the four districts and seven counties of Longjiang in the ward, Vice Governor Lin realized what was going on. One by one, he secretly scolded the leaders of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee for their lax management, and let the health system do such a bad thing.

And the four people living with HIV in the quarantine area made him even more anxious. You must know that they are all pulp suppliers, and the Air Force Hospital can find four casually, so how many will there be in the entire Longjiang? How many will there be in the entire J province?

The veteran general has not yet arrived in the capital, but the situation has already been reported to Zhongnanhai, and the central leaders of this meeting are holding an emergency meeting, and if nothing else, the State Council investigation team will arrive early tomorrow morning. I can't hide it, and the only thing I can do now is to correct my attitude and wait for the next storm.

From the bottom of his heart, not only did he not hate the Air Force Hospital, but he was also a little lucky. After all, they found out in time, and if they were kept in the dark like this, they didn't know how serious the consequences would be. What's more, after people were diagnosed with AIDS cases, they did not publicize it, and even fully cooperated with the work of the provincial party committee and provincial political axe.

"Comrades......"

As soon as he spoke, he saw that everyone stood up as they had just done, and Vice Governor Lin, who was worried, hurriedly followed the example of Deputy Commander Shi, motioned for everyone to take a break, and while taking the documents handed by the secretary, he forced a smile and said: "Entrusted by the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Political Axe, I read out the decision of the Provincial People's Political Axe of J Province on behalf of Governor Wen on giving personal meritorious service rewards to Longjiang Air Force Hospital, President Tian Wenjian, Political Commissar Cheng Qiufang, Vice President Cao Xuming, Captain Jiang Zhengbao, and Instructor Yang Xiaoguang.

In 1998, the Longjiang Air Force Hospital adhered to the guidance of Deng Xping Theory and General Secretary Jiang Zemin's important thinking on "three stresses education," comprehensively implemented the spirit of the "five sentences" put forward by General Secretary Jiang, and strengthened its sense of service in accordance with the arrangements made by the army's logistics and health management departments and local health administration departments...... In the medical work, some advanced typical individuals have emerged, who have worked hard and overcome difficulties, and have made outstanding contributions to the economic and social development of Longjiang. In order to promote morale and encourage the advanced, after the study of the provincial political axe, it was decided to give Longjiang Hospital a collective second-class meritorious service, and Tian Wenjian and other 12 comrades to be awarded third-class meritorious service. ”

Vice Governor Lin raised his head, looked around at the crowd, and continued: "I hope that the comrades who have been rewarded will cherish their honor, guard against arrogance and rashness, and make greater achievements in their future work. At the same time, all departments at all levels in our localities should also take the advanced as an example, fully implement the intentions of the Party Central Committee, constantly enhance the awareness of the overall situation and the sense of service, have the courage to open up, and strive to be the first to create excellence......"

A few families are happy and a few are sad, and here they are jubilant and thunderous. But Secretary Liu and Mayor Wang, who were standing by the door, as well as Director Tang of the Department of Health, were like mourners. Their faces were pale, and you could even see the sweat oozing from their foreheads.

The military and political leaders were very sympathetic to their subordinates, and considering that they could not let go here, they left the banquet hall with warm applause after a few words of encouragement again.

Honor is more important to a soldier than anything else, and Tian Wenjian couldn't be happier when he saw everyone drinking and laughing. Under the pretext, he was not feeling well, so he threw the award certificate to Instructor Yang and slipped away.

It was already dark, and the factory was brightly lit. As soon as I walked out of the hotel gate, I saw a familiar figure wandering by the door. When I got closer, it turned out to be Mei Yuting, deputy mayor of Longjiang City.

Her short hair was still so dark and transparent under the streetlights, and her eyes were fixed on him, trying to show that she was as light as she was lifting. But her constantly twitching lips and clenched fists betrayed the anxiety and uneasiness in her heart.

"The celebration wine was drunk so quickly?"

Tian Wenjian did not answer her sarcastic and mocking question, but took out a cigarette, lit one slowly, and asked lightly, "You know everything?" ”

"I know, I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect ......."

She was nervous, and her speech was a little incoherent, just like the strong woman before.

If something so big happens, someone has to carry the black pot. The deputy mayor in front of her, who is not in the norm, is undoubtedly the best candidate to carry the black pot, who made her the deputy mayor in charge of education and medical care?

Dean Tian sighed lightly, and while walking towards the gate of Factory 315, he asked thoughtfully, "What are your plans next?" ”

Mei Yuting brushed her hair, shook her head and sighed: "What are the plans for now?" To be honest, I really don't know what to do with those people in quarantine. No matter what the organization does, I'll accept it. ”

"Don't hate me?" Dean Tian turned around and asked lightly.

Mei Yuting hugged her arms, with a painful expression on her face, and said tremblingly: "I am from Panshan, as the deputy mayor in charge of medical care, I can't escape the blame for such a big problem, this is all retribution!" ”

"Then why are you waiting for me here?"

"Now everyone treats me like a plague god, and there is no one to talk to. If I think about it, I can only come to you. ”

Among all the officials of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe, the official reputation of the person in front of him is good. Because of this, although her work in the county is remarkable, she just can't get into the ordinary.

As for the matter of the plasma station, although it is within the jurisdiction of her, the deputy mayor, because of the huge economic interests, there is a health department at the top, a county party committee and a county government axe at the bottom, and a deputy secretary in charge of medical and health care on her head, even if she has three heads and six arms, she can't solve any problems.

Looking at her extremely depressed appearance, Dean Tian couldn't help but ask: "If you continue to be the deputy mayor, then how will you treat those who are infected?" ”

Mei Yuting was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I have been suspended for reflection, there is no if." ”

"So fast?" Dean Tian frowned.

"Just now they had an emergency standing committee in the car, and it is said that except for Secretary Ren and Commander Wu, who abstained from voting, everyone else thinks that I should be fully responsible."

People are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, at this critical moment, it is not easy for Ren Ran and Wu Minren to abstain. Tian Wenjian pondered for a moment, suddenly raised his head, and asked in a low voice, "Does Xiao Ling from the provincial TV station know him?" It's also your fellow townsman. ”

Mei Yuting was confused by this question, but still replied in a low voice: "I've heard of it, but I haven't communicated." ”

Dean Tian took out a pen, grabbed her left hand, wrote a string of phone numbers in her palm, and said casually: "Give her a call, and say I'll let you find her." If you have anything to say, don't hide it, she has a tight mouth and is reliable. ”

Thinking of the rumors of Xiao Ling and Vice Governor Lin, Mei Yuting reacted suddenly, with an incredible expression on her face, and asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

"I'm not helping you, I'm trying to help those who have been infected." Tian Wenjian sighed and continued: "Let's talk about whether this matter can be done or not, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”
