Plans are not as fast as changes.

Originally, Chen Jing arranged to meet Tang Zhen, and he also had to visit Gao Wei.

However, the old man of the Fang family suddenly became seriously ill, and the whole Fang family, including the northwest department, was extremely nervous, and the second and third generations of the Fang family gathered to visit the general hospital.

Gao Wei called Chen Jing and said that he was going to Singapore immediately for an inspection and that he might not have time to meet Chen Jing.

In this regard, Gao Wei smiled and said: "I'm not prevaricating, you are a big fat sheep in my eyes, and I will never let go of the opportunity to slaughter you." It's just a pity that this time the leader arranged to go to Singapore, and we are about to leave, so we can only meet next time. ”

Chen Jingdao: "Minister Gao, aren't you the leader yourself?" ”

Gao Wei smiled and said, "Leaders and leaders, do you think I'm very free now?" If it weren't for the leader's assignment, I would have run away without permission, and people would have treated me as a money collector and fled, and the consequence would be wanted by the whole country! ”

Gao Wei said it with humor, but it also showed the sensitivity of his current position.

Deputy Minister of Finance, the true God of Wealth.

The God of Wealth goes abroad, if it is not particularly necessary, it is generally impossible, and Gao Wei may also have a special reason for going out this time.

Talking to Gao Wei, Chen Jing didn't feel the slightest pressure.

Gao Wei has an ability, he will always make people feel that he is not like a person in the officialdom.

He speaks humorously and wittily, and he doesn't play official, nor does he play witty, just like a friend and chats with people.

I have to say that this is one of his strengths.

Chen Jing has a very good impression of him.

It is conceivable that Gao Wei is also a person who has been rolling in officialdom for so many years.

How could he be as simple as he appeared on the outside?

And he went from the grassroots to the position of the leader of the ministry, how many hardships and hardships did he have to go through during this period?

It's rare that he can still maintain such an open-minded, funny, and honest style, which is remarkable.

The schedule was disrupted, so Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi went to the General Logistics Hospital to visit Fang Lao.

The old general's physical condition has deteriorated in recent years.

He has been in the hospital for a long time since last year.

He is chronically ill, and he is also a person of old age.

The condition is sometimes good and bad. When it's good, it's able to speak normally and read, but when it's bad, it's basically bedridden and the language ability will be lost.

Whether it is the Fang family or the Northwest Department, everyone knows that the old man's days are numbered.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, such as ordinary people, people of such an age as the old man pass away. It's still a happy event.

But the lord is different after all.

He is one of the very few surviving founding generals of the Republic.

He carries too much meaning on his body, and as long as he still has a breath, it will be of great significance to the country and the people.

For the other family and the Northwest Department, it is of greater significance.

No matter how sick the old man is. Regardless of whether he still has the ability to pay attention to the affairs of the world.

As long as he breathes, he will always be the pillar of the Northwest Department.

That's not going to change.

So the old man is seriously ill, and the northwest department is quite nervous.

When Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi arrived at the hospital.

There have been many people gathered in the hospital, the younger generation of the Fang family, the officials of the Northwest Department in Beijing, including Tang Zhen.

Fang Lianjun was also there, and everyone's expressions were solemn.

The arrival of Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi is quite noticeable.

In addition to Fang Wanqi's growing belly, Chen Jing is also the object of everyone's attention at present.

Chen Jing's fame in Lingnan has begun to appear. Moreover, he is now the chief of the provincial-level unit and an alternate member of the provincial party committee.

Chen Jing now has two youngest in Lingnan.

One is that he is the youngest deputy department-level cadre, and the other is the youngest alternate member of the provincial party committee.

This bodes well for his future.

Fang Lianjun and Chen Jing were relatively familiar, and he quickly came over.

Chen Jing asked him in a low voice about the situation.

He shook his head and said, "The doctor said that grandpa needs to rest, and it is not suitable to see guests for the time being, so we can only wait outside!" ”

Chen Jing nodded, he turned back to Fang Wanqi and said, "You find a place to sit!" ”

In fact, there is no need for Chen Jing to remind. Someone had already come over to help Fang Wanqi sit down.

Chen Jing greeted familiar people one by one, and inevitably had a good greeting.

Tang Zhen also naturally leaned over.

Chen Jing smiled at him and said, "Brother Tang, hello! ”

Tang Zhen smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, when did you enter Beijing?" Now that Wanqi is pregnant, you have to come back often to take care of it! ”

Chen Jing nodded and said: "I will come back often in the second half of this year, and now it is easy to return to Beijing, taking care of both public and private affairs!" ”

Tang Zhen nodded. said: "I am now in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, you can contact me more if you have anything in the future." How long are you going to stay this time? ”

Chen Jing pondered for a moment and said, "There should be a few more days, but it's still uncertain!" ”

"That's okay, just the condition of Fang Lao in the past few days, if the condition improves. Let's make an appointment to sit down. I've always longed for Lingnan, but I've never worked there, so I envy you! Tang Zhen said, his tone was quite sincere.

When Chen Jing met Tang Zhen for the first time, the two spoke very little, and they almost passed by.

At that time, Chen Jing faintly felt that Tang Zhen was very reserved.

Today, Tang Zhen showed enthusiasm and let Chen Jing get to know him again.

It is estimated that he has suffered the last setback, and he is becoming more and more mature.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Chen Jing's position is now rising, and he can finally enter the right eye.

These are not what Chen Jing cares about, Chen Jing has been in the officialdom for so many years, and his mind is not the same as before.

Being looked down upon or despised by others, he doesn't care at all.

There is not much competition for victory.

The most important thing is to do things in a down-to-earth manner, work seriously, dredge up more contacts, make friends with like-minded people, and consolidate your political foundation.

Above the officialdom, how much friendship can be discussed?

Everyone is comradely with each other, and they are intertwined with interests, maybe this statement sounds a bit extreme, but as far as faith is concerned, Chen Jing believes more in interests!

Just like today's occasion.

This room was crowded in groups of three or five, and I didn't see how anyone arranged it, so it was natural to form their own circles.

Fang Wanqi was surrounded by a group of sisters and brothers, basically all of whom were subordinate brothers.

And there is also a group of young military brothers.

In addition, below the deputy department of the Beijing Ministry is a circle.

Chen Jing, Fang Lianjun and Tang Zhen got together and had something to say.

The formation of these circles cannot even be simply attributed to interests. To put it a little higher, it can be said that it is like-minded, and to put it colloquially, it can be said that it is like a gathering of things!

Patiently waiting, no one left.

I waited for almost two hours.

The doctor came and asked the family representatives to come in.

Fang Lujian hurriedly followed the doctor in.

After about ten minutes, he walked out and said, "Alright, alright." My father was fine, he had come to his senses, but he was too weak to talk much. Everyone has a job. No need to wait here.

When the master is a little tougher, you guys are coming over to visit! ”

Fang Lujian spoke, and everyone got up one after another.

Fang Lujian beckoned to Fang Wanqi, and then went to Chen Jing's side.

Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi came to his side.

He lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa heard that you were here and wanted to talk to you, and he was very happy that you had a child!" ”

He turned his head to Chen Jing and said, "You accompany Wanqi in, don't take too long, don't exceed ten minutes!" ”

Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi entered the intensive care ward side by side.

In the ward, ventilators and various vital characteristic monitoring instruments occupy more than half of the space.

The temperature of the room is constant. Cooler.

Although the old man was seriously ill, the room did not have any peculiar smell, and the windows were bright and clean, and it was spotless.

When Chen Jing entered the door, he saw a bonsai.

He recognized at a glance that this bonsai was the pot of boxwood he had given to his master.

Several years have passed, and this basin is not as lush as it is now, nor is it as neat and beautiful as it is now.

Green boxwood, each one full of life. In pristine condition.

Under the light of the room, it seems that oil can flow from it.

Fang Wanqi was more excited, and tears flowed out of her eyes when she entered the door.

She shook off Chen Jing's hand, walked quickly to the bed and called, "Grandpa......"

Fang Lao was lying on the bed, and his back was cushioned.

He was dressed in the usual blue patient gown, and looked haggard, but he was quite clean.

There were some traces of dried saliva at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were still very bright.

He moved. It seemed that he wanted to reach out, but he couldn't.

Fang Wanqi hurriedly reached out and grabbed his hand, the old man shook Fang Wanqi's hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's more difficult to move your hand now than to capture a position back then!" ”

Chen Jing was originally very calm, but the old man said this with difficulty. His eyes were hazy for a moment.

The indifference and fearlessness of the old man shocked his heart.

How many people are so calm and optimistic about life and death?

Fang Wanqi had already stopped crying, and her tears were falling down.

Old Fang frowned slightly and said, "I won't die for the time being, why are you crying so hard?" It's not good for children! ”

Fang Wanqi wiped her tears and calmed down a little.

The old man moved his head slightly, his eyes glanced at Chen Jing, and he smiled without warning.

He seemed to be greeting Chen Jing, and seemed to be making fun of Fang Wanqi's vulnerability, as if he had something funny.

This smile contained too much meaning, and Chen Jing hurriedly approached and shouted: "Grandpa! ”

The old man stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, and said, "Lingnan is a good place, I can't go there!" You should cherish your work in Lingnan. ”

Chen Jing nodded solemnly.

The old man changed the topic and asked, "Have you checked it, is it a boy or a girl?" ”

Chen Jing was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

The old man said: "Don't check, it's illegal to check that." You can't do anything illegal! ”

A smile appeared on his face again, and what he had just said seemed to be a joke.

"Tell me when you give birth, give it to me......" The old man was already struggling to speak, and Chen Jing and Fang Wanqi nodded almost at the same time.
