Chapter 40: Acts of Kindness

Early in the morning, the sunlight shines into the room through the white veil, Zhou Jing woke up, touched his side, but found nothing, opened his eyes and found that the Yiren around him was no longer there, and the messy clothes that were originally thrown on the ground were also neatly folded and placed on the bedside table, he rubbed his nose and got out of bed, and turned around the room twice, making sure that Qin Xiaoqian had left, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, pushed open the door, and when he entered the bathroom, he found that on the dressing mirror, a red heart was drawn with lipstick, and there were shallow lip prints on it.

Zhou Jing stretched out his fingers, stroked his lip prints, and after a while, he smiled dumbly, washed up, and after breakfast, he turned out the black notebook, found the note written by Sun Xiang from it, drove the car, went to the store outside to buy some nutritional products, and went to the Second Hospital of the Provincial Medical University to visit Tao Ye's wife who was hospitalized, and by the way to understand the situation. If it is really as Sun Xiang said, because of the pain of the disease, he needs kidney replacement treatment, he also has the heart to help, this is not simply to improve and cultivate the working relationship, but from a kind of upright character, it can be said responsibly, any colleague in the third office of discipline inspection and supervision has such a thing, he will not stand idly by.

This is not a flood of sympathy, but in response to the old saying, the poor are good alone, up to the world, although he has not made a contribution now, but the economic aspect is not a problem, these two years and Jiayu company cooperation is very successful, so that he has obtained a rich return, although low-key, never show rich, but is already a shadow rich, and even in the future will no longer have to make money and headaches, in this case, properly repay the society, in fact, it is a good deed of benefiting others and self-interest, why not do it.

With such an idea, Zhou Jing drove to the hospital, parked the car in the hospital, and took a detour to the back building, this hospital is very famous in the province, but the inpatient department is slightly simple, he carried fruits and other nutrients and walked upstairs, the smell of disinfectant water in the hospital is very pungent, and in the corridor, some patients wearing hospital gowns and holding a warm pot shuttle between the ward and the water room, and some noisy sounds come from the door from time to time, which shows that the conditions of the inpatient department are not very good, and they need to be improved.

According to the address recorded on the note, he searched all the way and found the false door of room 405, Zhou Jing stopped and knocked politely on the door, and soon, in the ward, someone said in non-standard Mandarin: "Come in, the door is not closed!" ”

Zhou Jing pushed open the door, looked at the ward, and saw that this was a four-person room, two of the beds were empty, and there were two people on the bunks, one was an old lady with gray hair, with a haggard face and sunken eye sockets, lying on the bed, with a hanging bottle in her hand, and was infusion, while the other was a middle-aged woman with a sallow face, who was reclining on the hospital bed, fiddling with playing cards, and when Zhou Jing came in, she quickly put away the cards, pulled on her slippers, sat on the edge of the bed, and said puzzledly: "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's my sister-in-law, I am from the third discipline inspection room, and I am a colleague with Director Tao." ”

The woman suddenly realized, waved her hand weakly and said: "Alas, I have told you, there is no need to break the bill like this, I am an old sick person, and I am living in the hospital as an adult, and I am used to it, you always come over, Lao Tao is not happy, and he has to train me every time!" ”

Zhou Jing walked over, put two boxes of nutritional products and fruits on the bedside table, pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Director Tao is like that, he refuses to talk about any difficulties, but he is just stuffy in his heart, if it weren't for a colleague to talk about it, I would still be in the dark!" ”

The woman sighed, pulled one leg up, put it on her knee, and said sullenly: "He has a big temper and is not easy to get along with, but he is still very decent, and he is kind not to tell you, for fear of causing trouble to everyone." ”

After a pause, he looked at Zhou Jing with some curiosity, and said, "Young man, you're new here, why do you look at your eyes?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, touched the fruit knife, skillfully peeled an apple, handed it over, and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, I haven't been in the unit for long." ”

"Thank you!" The woman took the apple, took a small bite, put it in her mouth, opened the drawer, took out a small crumpled notebook from it, opened it, took the ballpoint pen and scratched it vigorously a few times, until the blue pen oil came out, then raised her head, and said familiarly: "Young man, what is your name, when Lao Tao comes back, I will tell him." ”

Zhou Jing was slightly stunned, looked at it, and saw that there were several names written on it, and who else sent which tonics, all of which were clearly written, he couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, no need, I came here this time just to see you, I don't have anything else to think about." ”

"Okay then." The woman put down the pen, returned to the bed, tightened her clothes, leaned against the wall, pulled up half of the quilt, ate apples, smiled at Zhou Jing, and muttered: "You people in the third room are very good, and you are also very friends with Lao Tao, he often says that with such a brother, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it." ”

Zhou Jing was silent, and after a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, Director Tao's prestige is very high, and his popularity is good, everyone is willing to follow him!" ”

"Ennaba, it's not like that!" The woman ate the apple, took out a tissue from the side, wiped her hands, threw it into the paper basket, and complained: "Our old Tao, this person, is okay else, but he has a bigger temper, he is a donkey, too strong, he doesn't like to listen to persuasion, and if it is serious, he just doesn't go, he goes backwards, and runs to the dark one by one, because of this character, he has not suffered less over the years!" ”

"Sister-in-law, no one is perfect, who can be without fault, everyone actually has shortcomings, there is no absolutely perfect person in the world, you can't be too picky, you have to be tolerant!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, looked at the sallow face, and said softly: "How is the condition, are you better?" ”

The woman sighed, pinched her waist with her hand, an extremely painful expression appeared on her face, and shook her head: "That's it, the family has no money, and you can't change your kidney, so you have to stay up slowly to see if there can be a miracle, what can be done!" ”

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, and said tentatively: "Sister-in-law, how much does a kidney source cost here?" ”

The woman seemed to be a little tired and lacking energy, so she changed her posture, squinted her eyes, and said lightly: "It's about 200,000 yuan, a few years ago, in order to treat the disease, I have already taken out all the family funds, and Lao Tao can't help it, every time I come over, I am sad!" ”

As she spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks, but the woman was very strong, twisted her head to the side, wiped her tears with her hands, and sighed softly: "Really, when I think of Erya, I feel uncomfortable, the child has not come to her aunt's house for two weeks!" ”

Zhou Jing snorted, and asked again: "When Director Tao went down to handle the case, who took care of you in the hospital?" ”

The woman smiled innocently, and said in a relaxed tone: "Alas, we little people, who else do we need to take care of, just make it ourselves, I really can't get up, so I call the nurse, the nurses here are very good, they are very good, and they are quite willing to help people." ”

"Yes, angel in white!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, inquired about the woman's situation, the two chatted like this, he also roughly figured out the situation in Taoye's family, and then rounded the corner, inquired about the name of the attending doctor, got up to say goodbye, and left the ward.

He first went to the attending doctor, and learned in detail about the woman's condition and the corresponding treatment, and expressed his willingness to sponsor it, but the premise was to keep it secret from the outside world, and not let others know.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Zhou Jing put a black plastic bag full of banknotes on his desk, and the doctor came back to his senses, and immediately led him to the dean's office, and interviewed the vice president on duty to discuss the treatment.

He drove away from the hospital, and called Qin Xiaoqian, the four of them met in a restaurant in the city, ate hot pot, and Zhou Jing had nothing else to do in the afternoon, so he went to the investment promotion meeting with the three of them, followed the distribution of materials, and communicated with foreign businessmen, which seemed to be back to two years ago, which made Zhou Jing quite emotional, but at more than three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Qin Xiaoqian received a call, saying that Jingjing had a high fever at home, vomiting and diarrhea, and was very sad, so she did not stop in the provincial capital, but took a bus and returned in a hurry.

The next two days, it was calm, and nothing else happened, until Wednesday afternoon, Zhou Jingzheng was sitting in the back of the office, flipping through a book of Lu Ding Ji in his hand, fascinated, the door was suddenly pushed open, but he saw Tao Ye walk in with red eyes, he realized that the matter may be known by the other party, so he smiled slightly, made tea, and let the other party on the coffee table.

The two sat down, drank tea with their heads bored, and after a while, they took out a few copies of the contract from their clothes pockets, threw them on the brown plexiglass on the coffee table, and said in a low tone: "Deputy Director Zhou, you use a fake name, but the font can't hide it." ”

Zhou Jing picked up the medical contract, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of an old discipline inspector, his eyes are poisonous enough, and he can't hide anything from you!" ”

Tao Ye raised his head, stared at the ceiling, and said stupidly: "Smoke good cigarettes, drink good tea, you kid has only been working for a few days, where did you get so much money?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled and said softly: "I won't tell you, I also have some business outside." ”

Tao Ye turned his head, stared at him with blazing eyes, and asked the bottom of the question: "What kind of business?" ”

Zhou Jing took out a cigarette, took out one, handed it to him, lit it himself, and said with a smile: "The main business is jewelry and jade business, and others, real estate and building materials are also involved. ”

Tao Ye sighed, looked at Zhou Jing in surprise, didn't say anything for a long time, until a piece of cigarette ash fell, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it, it's the big boss, you hide it deep enough." ”

Zhou Jing waved his hand and said humbly: "Where, it's just a little luckier." ”

Immediately, he roughly talked about how he met Yin Aihua and others, went to Nangu City to gamble on stones, and then invested in Jiayu Commercial Bank, focusing on the thrills of gambling stones, and the names and companies were only lightly brought and did not say.

Rao is like this, still made Tao Ye stunned and amazed, and chatted with Zhou Jing warmly for a long time before he put his hand to his mouth, coughed a few times, and said with a red face: "Xiao Zhou, let's do it, since this money has been paid, it will not be easy to return it, I will give you an IOU, and pay it back slowly in the future, okay?" ”

Zhou Jing nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "No problem, director, just follow your old rules!" ”

Tao Ye smiled, took out the signature pen, tore off the note, wrote the IOU neatly, signed the name and date, handed it to Zhou Jing, got up and scratched his head and said: "Okay, then that's it, I still have something to do, I have to go out for a few days, I'll leave it to you here!" ”

Zhou Jing took the IOU, glanced at it, and saw that the amount was wrong, so he frowned and said, "Alas, Lao Tao, it's not right, why is it less than 70,000?" ”

Tao Ye didn't say a word, walked quickly to the door, and then turned around and said: "This 70,000 yuan is regarded as the income of the * official, from now on, in our third room, you are the boss, and I will be the second!" ”
