June 29, 1998, 19 o'clock, Pingyang, He Zhuoxiao's house
When Gao Changhe walked into He Zhuoxiao's house accompanied by Liu Yiru, He Zhuoxiao had just arrived home.
The ruined scene of the He family really surprised Gao Changhe. A small three-bedroom house was empty and did not have a single decent appliance or furniture. In a room facing south, a critically ill old man lay on the bed from time to time raising a voice and whispering low, and the whole house was filled with an indescribable smell.
He Zhuoxiao said uneasily: "Secretary Gao, look at you, just come as you say, I was really caught off guard." ”
Gao Changhe pointed to the room where the old man lived and asked, "Who are you, you seem to be very sick?" ”
Ho Zhuoxiao said: "It's my mother, cancer, five years. ”
Gao Changhe asked, "Why don't you send him to the hospital?" ”
He Zhuoxiao smiled bitterly, "Where can I afford to live?" My mother is a rural household registration, there is no public-funded medical care, just to see the outpatient clinic can not afford to eat, no, the household appliances and furniture are sold out, and my wife is also divorced. After that, he added hatefully, "If you don't leave, you can't leave, this girl tortures my mother all day long." ”
Gao Changhe let out an "oh" and asked again: "Then you go to work, who will take care of your mother?" ”
He Zhuoxiao said: "I hired a little nanny. ”
Gao Changhe didn't ask any more, and he understood everything in his heart. The feeling is really sad, the director and party secretary of a large county and department-level factory can't even pay his mother's medical expenses, why should people sell your life for you? Why! He couldn't believe it was something like this if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
He Zhuoxiao talked about work: "Secretary Gao, Shanghai still has to hurry up, the flat rolling mill really can't be delayed any longer!" I know that Mayor Moon wants to save face, and we will try to fight for the best terms for the merger, but we must talk about it immediately. Secretary Gao, Mayor Wen, I'm afraid you still have to do your work. ”
Gao Changhe nodded and said, "Yes, you will fly to Shanghai tomorrow, don't worry about family affairs, the city will send someone to deal with it, and send your mother to the Municipal People's Hospital for hospitalization, I will let Director Liu arrange it." ”
Liu Yiru said: "Okay, I'll come over early tomorrow morning to make arrangements." ”
He Zhuoxiao hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, Secretary Gao, Director Liu, I don't have the money to go to the hospital." ”
Gao Changhe said unhappily: "You don't care about the money, I ask the Civil Affairs Bureau to make an exception and let them solve it." He also explained to Liu Yiru, "Director Liu, tomorrow you will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the name of me and the municipal party committee, and ask them to think of a way to find a reasonable and legal way to pay the hospitalization fee." Make it clear to them that special matters must not be allowed to have worries about Director He in the future! If I really can't solve it, I ask them to deduct it from my salary! This state of affairs can no longer continue! ”
The tears in He Zhuoxiao's eyes fell suddenly: "Secretary Gao, you ...... Don't do that! If you can't solve it, how can you deduct your salary? Besides, my mother probably doesn't have a few days to live......"
Gao Changhe said sadly: "Director He, don't say it, I'm too late, and many things are irreparable!" Then he asked, "Have you told Mayor Wen and Secretary Jiang about these situations in the past?" ”
He Zhuoxiao shook his head: "What do you say about the private affairs of the family?" ”
Gao Changhe said angrily: "Why don't you say it?" Don't say it's a leader, even a colleague has to help you find a way! ”
He Zhuoxiao was moved: "Secretary Gao, don't say it, with what you said today, I, He Zhuoxiao, am tired and don't complain!" Rest assured, I will follow your instructions to bring the merger negotiations to a successful conclusion at an early date. ”
That night, when he returned to the residence of Xiaohonglou, Gao Changhe immediately called Sun Yadong, and didn't say anything else, as long as Sun Yadong took the time to go to He Zhuoxiao's house to have a look.
Sun Yadong was confused for a while, and asked Gao Changhe: "What did you ask me to go to He Zhuoxiao's house to see?" ”
Gao Changhe said: "What you see is what it is!" With that, he put down the phone.
As soon as he put down the phone, Wen Chunming's phone arrived again, talking about Tian Liye going to Lieshan to preside over the work, saying that Jiang Chaolin called him, and he was very angry, blaming him for not telling the truth at the Standing Committee.
Gao Changhe asked: "Then are you telling the truth?" ”
Wen Chunming said hesitantly: "If you want me to tell the truth, I also think that it is not appropriate to send Tian Liye to Lieshan. ”
Gao Changhe was annoyed and said, "Why didn't you say this at the Standing Committee?" I have repeatedly stressed the need to speak freely, and I have asked you to say by name, why don't you say it? ”
Wen Chunming defended: "I thought you were also going through the motions. ”
Gao Changhe said angrily: "Comrade Chunming, please remember that there is nothing to go through the motions here, if you don't say it at the meeting, don't say it after the meeting, it's useless to say it." We can't just study and decide on our own and then overturn it ourselves, right? Just kidding! ”
Wen Chunming knew that he was at a loss, so he was silent.
Gao Changhe didn't talk about Tian Liye anymore, turned the conversation to He Zhuoxiao, and told Wen Chunming what he saw and thought in the He family, and finally asked Wen Chunming with regret: "...... Chunming, tell me, are you a bit bureaucratic as the mayor? I have been working with He Zhuoxiao for ten years, and I don't know that the difficulties of my subordinate cadres are so great, and I have watched He Zhuoxiao fall to this point, do you say it's a pity? ”
Wen Chunming was obviously surprised and surprised, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Secretary Gao, you are right to criticize, blame me for this, I am indeed too bureaucratic, I only know to let him work, ignoring his life." Now that this is the case, what do you say? Can you say hello to Sun Yadong? Could the Commission for Discipline Inspection and relevant parties please give He Zhuoxiao another chance? It's a pity that Lao He is really ruined like this! ”
Gao Changhe let out a long sigh: "Let's wait until Sun Yadong clarifies the situation!" ”
