Section III
People can often see that Director Yu is busy with work. The sequelae of cerebral thrombosis have not completely disappeared, his left leg and left hand are still a little disobedient, and the way he walks is a little struggling, invisibly, adding a bit of leadership style.
A few days after the acting director of Lao Yu, the first thing he did was to replace all the furnishings in the office for Deputy Director Wang, these things were selected by Lao Yu personally to the manufacturer, after these things were sent, Deputy Director Wang was in the office, saw these things, and rubbed his hands and said: How bad is this, do we still have to work hard and simple.
Lao Yu smiled sincerely and said: Yes, yes, Director, you work hard.
After all this, Lao Yu tilted his head and looked at the sign with the words "deputy director" at the door of Deputy Director Wang, Deputy Director Wang saw Lao Yu's intentions, and said: Less, that is not necessary.
Lao Yu understood Deputy Director Wang's intentions, so he withdrew his gaze and said sincerely: Director, you pay attention to your body, and if you have anything to do, just give orders.
Deputy Director Wang stretched out a hand and patted Lao Yu's shoulder very heavily, Lao Yu felt the warmth from Deputy Director Wang's hand, and his heart was hot again.
Old Yu's kindness to Deputy Director Wang will never be forgotten. A few years ago, before he came to the office, he worked as an officer in a factory that was about to close down. That year, the agency was catching up with the recruitment of civil servants from the society, and Lao Yu was also among the candidates. At that time, Deputy Director Wang was the head of the personnel section of the agency, responsible for the recruitment of civil servants by the agency, so he selected Lao Yu. Not long after Lao Yu joined the agency, the factory where he used to work closed down, and all the cadres and workers lost their jobs. Lao Yu was grateful to Deputy Director Wang from the bottom of his heart. Since then, every once in a while, he has to go to Deputy Director Wang's house to walk around and say some words of gratitude. Soon, Deputy Director Wang became the deputy director, and it didn't take long for Lao Yu to become the deputy director of the office.
Just when Lao Yu was proud of the spring breeze, Deputy Director Wang was reduced from the first deputy director to the third deputy director, and Lao Yu's hopes also fell to a low point. He knew that his fate had been closely tied to the fate of Deputy Director Wang, that is, he no longer had anything to do with Deputy Director Wang, and he could not escape the shadow that he was Deputy Director Wang. In other words, other leaders will not reuse him and let him fend for himself in his current position, or maybe one day, he will be transferred to an irrelevant position.
Half a year ago, Lao Yu had heard that Deputy Director Li would be the successor of Director Yang in the future, and Director Lu was already quietly moving closer to Deputy Director Li. In those days, no one was optimistic about Deputy Director Wang, and Deputy Director Wang was also powerless in his work.
Lao Yu felt that he had no hope, he was two years older than Deputy Director Li and Deputy Director Wang, which meant that he would leave the agency before they retired. In those days, he always sighed for a long time, and his mood for a person who couldn't see any future can be imagined.
One day, Lao Yu suddenly suffered a cerebral thrombosis.
A drowning man suddenly stood on the shore again, and his mood can be imagined. As a result, he redoubled his appreciation for the hard-won opportunity in front of him.
In those days, Lao Yu's mood was unprecedentedly good, although there were some sequelae, but all this still did not affect the diligent figure, running upstairs and downstairs again and again. When he saw everyone, he had to put a smile on his face and say hello, and in his eyes, everything was so beautiful and so happy.
During this period, Director Lu's wife came to the agency, and she first found Deputy Director Wang, and she cried when she saw Deputy Director Wang. Before, no one in the agency had ever seen Lao Lu's wife, and the woman in her forties was already very old, and her image was in obvious contrast with Lao Lu, thin and withered, with a gray face.
Lao Lu is a cadre of state organs, and his illness, as well as all the expenses of all future affairs, will be public expenses according to regulations. It doesn't matter who is in charge, this is the system. But Lao Lu's wife still found the agency and found Deputy Director Wang.
Lao Lu's wife cried and told how difficult it was for Lao Lu for so many years, for work, for the sake of the agency, he went home late every night, and several times because he drank too much wine with the guests, he was sent to the hospital when he returned home...... Lao Lu's wife implied that Lao Lu had damaged his body for work.
Deputy Director Wang didn't interject when he listened to Lao Lu's wife's cry, he looked at Lao Lu's wife calmly, and suddenly he felt that the woman in front of him was very pitiful. But soon, he thought of the appearance of Lao Lu in the past, Lao Lu was very tall, he only bent his tall body down in front of Director Yang, in front of Deputy Director Wang, he always smiled meaningfully, this kind of smile made Deputy Director Wang feel very uncomfortable. Many things that Deputy Director Wang explained to Director Lu, Lao Lu always consulted Director Yang before he went to carry it out, and then Deputy Director Wang said hatefully in his heart: "This hateful dog." ”
Now Deputy Director Wang no longer has this kind of hatred, but he still feels uncomfortable when he thinks of Director Lu's smile. When he looked at the woman in front of him, he sighed in his heart: What about people! He knew that in the near future, the woman in front of him would become a helpless widow. Thinking of this, he also sighed for Lao Lu's fate.
The people in the office, under the leadership of Lao Yu, went to the hospital, and they went to visit Lao Lu together. Lao Yu used public funds to buy some things for Lao Lu, so the group walked into Lao Lu's ward.
Lao Lu's wife accompanied Lao Lu. As soon as the woman saw the visitor, tears flowed. I haven't seen him for a few days, Lao Lu seems to have changed a person, his former red face is already a layer of gray, and his hair is a few times whiter. A pair of eyes looked helplessly at the crowd.
Xiao Zhang bought a bouquet of flowers for Lao Lu on the road, and he inserted the flowers at the head of Lao Lu's bed. Lao Lu said to Xiao Zhang gratefully, "Thank you, Xiao Zhang." ”
Xiao Zhang smiled at Lao Lu and stood aside. Usually, Lao Lu looks down on Xiao Zhang, who is a college student selected from the talent market. Lao Lu always has no anger to criticize Xiao Zhang, this is not good, that is not either. A few times Xiao Zhang found Lao Yu with tears in his eyes and said that he couldn't do anything in the agency anymore and wanted to leave here, but he was comforted by Lao Yu. Lao Yu knows why Lao Lu doesn't look down on Xiao Zhang, in fact, Lao Lu is sweeping Lao Yu's prestige in the office. Lao Lu is the director, and Lao is the deputy director. Lao Lu is doing all this to show others. Lao Lu's effect is really effective. The big and small affairs in the office are all listened to Lao Lu, and the people below will only carry out them if they have asked Lao Lu for instructions. In those days, Lao Yu's deputy director was like a fictitious one. Only Xiao Zhang is an exception, no matter what he encounters, he will first ask the deputy director, because according to the division of labor, Lao Yu is in charge of Xiao Zhang's work, so Lao Lu looks down on Xiao Zhang.
Standing in front of Lao Lu's bed, his former obedient subordinates were all standing behind Lao Yu, as if Lao Lu was not suffering from liver cancer but some kind of infectious disease. They looked at Lao Lu on the bed, and looked at Lao Yu in front of them. In the past, all of them were in awe of Lao Lu, because Lao Lu was the director. Now that Lao Lu is lying on the bed, maybe one day, he will close his eyes forever. At this time, Lao Lu in their eyes was just a patient. And Lao Yu is their director, they can't appear to be too enthusiastic with Lao Lu in front of Lao Yu.
Lao Yu was very generous at this time, he caught Lao Lu's hand, and he found that Lao Lu's hand had no strength at all. He shook this powerless hand and said: Old Lu, if you want to open everything, you can recuperate with peace of mind.
Lao Lu said weakly: Thank you, Lao Yu.
Lao Yu said loudly: Lao Lu, don't worry, we are at work, and we will often come to see you.
The rest of the people also said some lukewarm things, such as recuperating with peace of mind. Lao Lu looked at these obedient subordinates in turn with his eyes, he was originally holding back his stomach to say something to these people, but he didn't want to say a word about everything in front of him. He closed his eyes weakly and sighed heavily in his heart.
Lao Yu took the opportunity to say goodbye to Lao Lu, and said something to Lao Lu's wife, such as taking care of her body. Lao Yu walked in front, and everyone followed.
Lao Yu walked out of the ward without saying a word, he walked quickly towards the bus stop while crutches and his hands.
