Chapter 404: Fortune and Misfortune (1)
As the crying of newborns came from inside the delivery room, the crowd waiting outside finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Thank goodness." Countess Dante stroked her chest, she had two children and was well aware of the pain of childbirth. As the best friend of the Marquis de Grace, Countess Dante also has a lot of sympathy for the child's future. As soon as he entered the Marquis, it was as deep as the sea, not to mention that the child's father was a big man who made the marquis of other countries have to look up to him.
The nurse came out of it, wiped the sweat from her head, and said in a somewhat tired voice: "I gave birth to a boy, and the mother and child are safe." Do you want to transfer mother and child to the nursing care room? ”
"Of course! Of course! We want the best nursing room! Countess Dante replied at once. China has opened a lot of hospitals in Europe, because hospitals do not discriminate against the poor, so they have a very good reputation. Even the poor can get some of the best medical care in Italy at a modest price, which makes it difficult to get a nursing room.
"Mom, can we go out and see the church of the Chinese clergy?" A pair of teenagers who were following Countess Dante asked anxiously.
Dante was also quite helpless about his playful children, but this time he brought them out to let them accept some social practice, so Dante did not criticize directly, but gave an order, "Finish your Aunt Grace's affairs first, say hello to her, and then go to the church of the Chinese priests." ”
"Okay." The teenager felt that the goal could be achieved, and immediately expressed their obedience to their mother.
Running up and down the formalities, plus waiting. It was a long time before Dante saw Grace in the nursing room, who was nursing a small thing in a thick hospital bed. Inside the room are terrazzo floors, snow-white walls, wall-mounted heating, and futon sheets that smell of detergent.
Dante stood in the doorway, unable to take a step, and for a moment she felt that Grace had changed. Whether she is tricky or charming, whether she is arrogant or professional, this woman who can be said to be scheming and courageous always responds to others in order to realize her long-term wishes. When Grace picks up her newborn son, Dante sees a mother full of joy inside. All the reactions of living for others disappeared from Grace, and Grace, who had her own son, no longer needed to see the world through the eyes of others.
Grace looked away from her son, looked up at her best friend and said, "Dante, come in." Behold, this child is so lovely. ”
The tired voice still leaked Grace's physical exertion. Dante walked quickly to the bed, looked at the child's appearance carefully, and said with a smile: "He must be a very beautiful child when he grows up." ”
Listening to her best friend's praise, Grace had a happy smile on her face. But she said something else, "Dante, don't go, okay?" I didn't want my parents to take care of me. ”
"Okay, I've already told my husband that I'm not going home these days." Dante also replied cheerfully. For a Catholic family, having children out of wedlock is something that is difficult to accept. Not to mention that the father of this child is not yet Italian.
After saying this, Dante turned his head and beckoned to the little ones, and when he saw his mother make a code, the little ones standing at the door immediately ran into the ward with the flowers brought from Sicily. No matter how much these two little things wanted to go to the Taoist temple near the hospital, now they had completed the task assigned to them by their mother in a single glance, and said what they needed to say to the elders, "Aunt Grace, I wish you and the baby good health." ”
If it had been before, Grace would have responded with the same words as she had done the task, but now Grace was just amused by the actions of the two teenagers. "Haha, the flowers are beautiful, thank you. Now go out and play. ”
When the two little ones heard this, they immediately looked at their mother. Dante knew that he could not stop them any longer, so he instructed the servants to keep an eye on the two young men and not to put them in any danger. Then he watched his son and woman say goodbye to Grace, and then almost jumped and ran away.
For Grace, getting rid of these two little things that were obviously easier to mischievous made her feel much quieter and more at ease. Grace closed her eyes slightly and said to her best friend, "I'm sweating a lot, my hair is very uncomfortable, you go and ask the nurse, can I wash my hair?" ”
Dante got up and left to look for the nurse, and in the corridor she saw an old lady of some age bent over her waist, and when she saw someone who was dressed well, she stepped forward and asked, "Is there a shortage of children in your family?" If you want, can you take our newborn child with you? ”
Seeing this scene, Dante's face immediately changed. A moment ago, she thought that she was too pampered with a pair of children, but at this moment she felt that it was a good choice to let that pair of little things go to see the Taoist temple. The ideas preached by Chinese Taoists are very different from those of Catholicism, but there is one thing that is very similar on both sides. Catholicism likes wealthy congregations, and Taoism likes it. When it comes to the Taoist temple, it is basically either rich or expensive, and Dante's children will not meet this kind of poor person who cannot afford to raise and have children.
With such a hint of comfort in his heart, Dante couldn't help but be furious. The Chinese run the hospital is very good, with doctors on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But Chinese hospitals serve everyone, which makes people like Countess Dante have to face the possibility of being so close to the poor. The upper echelons of Florence have been unhappy with this for a long time, and some people have already taken the lead in negotiating with Chinese hospitals, hoping that they will open special places for the wealthy. According to European rules, people other than hospital funders have to pay real money if they want the hospital to do what they want.
Paying money is not all, it depends on the value of the opponent itself. If a hospital in China is so big, it will take no less money. Therefore, the upper circle is more cautious about paying. At this time, Countess Dante was unhappy, and she suddenly felt that with a small amount of money from the upper echelons, she could enjoy the treatment of completely isolating the poor, and this money was not spent unjustly.
"Go, get the guards quickly. Let the guards chase the old woman away. Countess Dante whispered to the servant. She had brought three servants with her, one with her two children, and two with her.
Seeing that the servant was gone, Countess Dante also wanted to leave. But I saw that the old woman was walking towards her best friend's room. She suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to do so, and the sense of responsibility that came with friendship made Countess Dante stand in the hallway with a cold face. Behind her is a friend who has just given birth to a child and the son of a friend, whose father is still thousands of miles away in Africa. The sense of duty made Countess Dante not want to back down in the slightest, and she made a decision in her heart that if the old woman really dared to try to pass through here, she must intervene to stop it. As a member of the upper echelons, Countess Dante was well aware that any life needed to be guarded, and she was willing to stand guard for her friends before the servants arrived with the guards.
A few days later, in Africa, Wang Mingshan did not know that his son was born, and he did not even know that the Marquis Grace was pregnant. Wang Mingshan is leading the personnel of the East African Administrative Region to start the construction of the future capital of the East African Administrative Region in Nanzhan City, and according to the habit of the Liberation Party, Wang Mingshan, as the highest leader, naturally has to assume the highest responsibility. That is to say, in addition to making a final decision at the party committee meeting, he also has to carry out the construction work in accordance with the resolutions of the party committee.
Without Wei Kun stirring up at the party committee meeting, the meeting quickly reverted to its previous style, that is, no officials who bowed down rose up to rebel. All meetings are held with the highest level of leadership at the core. Wang Mingshan was not very accustomed to the changes brought by Wei Kun, but now in the face of this lifeless situation, he couldn't help but miss Wei Kun's tossing energy. In addition to his background, this young boy has more extraordinary energy and aggressiveness.
However, in recent years, China has been engaged in infrastructure construction, and he has a lot of experience and a high vision.
"It's a great place to grow sugarcane, or it's a big one. In Africa, where water is scarce, land here should be used for agriculture and industry, and urban development can be placed further inland. ”
"Africa is short of water, which is why we need to use water resources nearby. The natural conditions of Nam Chan City are very suitable for building a large city, and there are many rivers that pass through it, so there is no problem with water supply. Africa does lack arable land, but it is not so lacking that even the city of Nanzhan cannot exist. With its excellent port and excellent natural endowment, it can build a large city with a population of six or seven million, and even a small urban agglomeration that can accommodate more than 10 million people. ”
The discussants were-for-tat, and most of the judges frowned slightly. As bureaucrats, what they dislike the most is this almost completely opposite choice. People on both sides have the same evaluation of Nanzhan City, but the only difference between them is how to use the excellent natural endowment here. These people are neither construction experts nor construction experts. They are just a group of bureaucrats who have been delegated thousands of miles away, and the bureaucrats know what it will be like to be on the wrong side. So no matter who they support in their hearts, the eyes of these people fall on Wang Mingshan. If you can't effectively stand with the leader, it's easy to get into trouble. There's no better way to stand with the number one than to let the number one speak first.
Wang Mingshan knew what this group of people were thinking, and when he was working at the central bank, Wang Mingshan had seen too many waiting eyes and expressions. This is the gaze that wants Wang Mingshan to shoulder the responsibility, and it is also the gaze that Wang Mingshan thinks is very irresponsible. So Wang Mingshan has already made a decision in his heart to let this group of guys speak first one by one.
At this moment, Wang Mingshan's secretary pushed open the door of the temporary residence with an angry expression and waved a telegram in his hand to Wang Mingshan. Seeing the secretary's expression, Wang Mingshan knew that the matter was quite big. He suspended the meeting for a moment and walked to the door.
Far away from the conference table, Wang Mingshan only felt that the secretary's face was very ugly. After getting closer, Wang Mingshan found that the secretary's face was not only ugly, but also a little angry. After receiving the telegram from the secretary, Wang Mingshan heard the secretary say angrily: "Secretary Wang, I don't know who wants to frame you." Trick on behind your back! ”
Wang Mingshan took the telegram, and when he saw that it was Wei Ze, he knew that something must have happened. Weese's telegram contained only a short sentence, "Someone has reported that you have an illegitimate child with someone else." Please explain it to me. ”
The shock of the first news to Wang Mingshan was huge, Wang Mingshan settled down, and found that he was actually a mixed blessing. And the second sentence made Wang Mingshan frown. These disciplinary issues are all about explaining to the disciplinary committee, and Wang Mingshan didn't expect Governor Wei Zedu to make a different statement this time.
The more he thought about the meaning of this, the tighter Wang Mingshan's brows wrinkled.
