"What? Something at home? Song Yuanchao asked with concern, "What's going on?" Would you like to help? ”

"It's not at home, it's a little personal matter for me." Lu Baogang hurriedly explained, at this time, Song Yuanchao took the initiative to start a fire and came over, and Lu Baogang hurriedly picked up the cigarette and lit it and said thank you.

"You are the vice president of the sales company, you can make your own decisions on such a trivial matter as asking for leave, and you have to come to tell me? Lao Lu, Lao Lu, you are really. Song Yuanchao half-jokingly.

Lu Baogang smiled and shook his head: "You can't say that, there are no rules, I can't criticize my own fakes, and Mr. Sun is too busy these days, and I don't want to trouble him, so I'll just look for you." ”

"Hahaha." Song Yuanchao laughed and shook his head, Lu Baogang echoed and laughed twice, and continued to ask about the holiday.

Song Yuanchao agreed with a wave of his hand, and at the same time he was curious about what Lu Bao had just asked for leave, and he wanted to ask for a few days.

Speaking of this, Lu Baogang looked a little hesitant, and then stopped talking a little, and sighed after a while: "I can't say the specific time, at least a week." As for why I took a leave of absence, this ....... ”

"So long?" Song Yuanchao originally thought that Lu Baogang would take a leave of absence for two or three days, but who thought that it would be a week as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was stunned and asked.

Faced with Song Yuanchao's questioning, Lu Baogang finally told the truth, he told Song Yuanchao that he didn't want to ask for leave because of his own business, but because of Gu Changjun.

"Gu Changjun? Ancient Secretary? ”

When he heard Gu Changjun's name, Song Yuanchao couldn't sit still and hurriedly asked what the situation was.

Lu Baogang told Song Yuanchao that Gu Changjun was sick, very sick, and Lu Baogang, an old friend for many years, planned to go to the mountain city to see Gu Changjun.

This is the first time that Song Yuanchao has heard of this, since Gu Changjun left Jinling and went to the mountain city, although they are still in contact with each other, but due to the inconvenience of communication in this era, they will make a phone call or say a few words from time to time at most.

The last time I called was before the Spring Festival, a month has passed since now, and after the Spring Festival, because of the overseas gold medal, Song Yuanchao has been busy dealing with follow-up propaganda and other work, and has never contacted Gu Changjun again.

But today, he suddenly heard from Lu Baogang's mouth that Gu Changjun was seriously ill, where could he sit still? asked about the situation of Gu Changjun again and again.

Lu Baogang knows a little more than Song Yuanchao, he and Gu Changjun have known each other for much longer than Song Yuanchao, and the relationship between the two is very good, and this time I heard that Gu Changjun's serious illness was not learned from Gu Changjun's side, but from Gu Changjun's eldest son, according to his eldest son and Lu Baogang, Gu Changjun's illness is not light, but his personality has always been strong and he refuses to tell outsiders that he entered the hospital before the Spring Festival ended, and now the doctor's diagnosis is not optimistic.

After learning the news, Lu Baogang was worried about his old friend, so he came to Song Yuanchao to approve the leave.

He planned to take the train, the train would go back and forth for at least three or four days, plus the time for the visit in the middle, it would take at least a week before and after, and what kind of illness Gu Changjun was suffering from now, his eldest son did not elaborate, which made Lu Baogang even more anxious.

After listening to Lu Baogang's explanation, Song Yuanchao immediately approved his vacation, not only that, but Song Yuanchao also told Lu Baogang that he didn't have to take the train, and went back to clean up immediately, and they would meet directly at the airport early tomorrow morning, and it would be more convenient for the plane to go over.

Song Yuanchao and Gu Changjun can be regarded as year-old friends, although the two did not have much intersection at first, but before Gu Changjun was about to leave the southern capital, he took the initiative to contact Song Yuanchao, it was that contact, Song Yuanchao really understood that Gu Changjun is a very principled and capable cadre, but unfortunately in the southern capital Gu Changjun did not have the opportunity to display his talents, so he pinned his hopes on Song Yuanchao.

At that time, because of the joint efforts of Jiang Dahai and Gu Ping, Song Yuanchao almost lost control of the sales company under Jiang Dahai's calculations. Thanks to Gu Changjun's help at that time, he was able to preserve the results of his reform in a branch factory.

And without the help of Gu Changjun and the previous layout, Song Yuanchao would not have been able to fight Jiang Dahai in the southern capital, let alone the later joint venture and today's Site Company.

For Gu Changjun, Song Yuanchao has always maintained respect and gratitude in his heart, and now he suddenly heard that Gu Changjun was seriously ill, how could Song Yuanchao turn a blind eye?

That night, the two plane tickets bought by Tolin Daoyuan's secretary were sent to Song Yuanchao's house, Song Yuanchao simply sorted out his luggage, and then called Lin Yan, who had returned to Shanghai, and told her about Gu Changjun, and he was going to Shancheng on a temporary business trip for a few days, so Lin Yan and the child would not be able to send it to Xiangjiang in a few days, and he entrusted Luo Yang and Li Xiaoyun to send Lin Yan and the child to the airport on his behalf.

After listening to this, Lin Yan said that she would reassure Song Yuanchao that Qin Zhengguo and his wife would go to pick up the plane on the other side of Xiangjiang, and Secretary Gu's matter was a major matter, so it could not be delayed, so he didn't have to worry about it on his side.

Early the next morning, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang met at the airport, and then took a flight to Shancheng to leave Jinling.

After arriving in Shancheng, the people sent by the Shancheng branch were already waiting at the airport gate, Song Yuanchao took Lu Bao to get into the car, and without saying a word, he asked the people from the branch to drive to the hospital, and at the same time asked if the nutrition and fruits prepared by the branch were ready.

The driver turned around and said that it was ready, and it was all in the back compartment.

Song Yuanchao nodded and said no more, sat with his eyes slightly closed, and waited patiently for the arrival of his destination.

Gu Changjun was admitted to the military hospital, and it was noon when they arrived at the hospital.

Song Yuanchao and Lu Bao just got out of the car, the driver had already opened the rear compartment one step in advance, and Song Yuanchao, who looked at the prepared nutrition and fruits, was still very satisfied, and directly took two items with Lu Baogang and went to the hospital.

I asked someone, and it took me a while to get to the ward on the fifth floor.

Gu Changjun's rank is not low, and after he arrived in Shancheng, he worked in a military industrial enterprise, so he lived in a single ward.

found the door number of the ward, the door was closed, Song Yuanchao knocked on the door first, and then pushed the door in.

The ward is not big, the right hand side of the door is the bathroom, the inside is the ward, the room is about ten square meters, there is a hospital bed in the middle of the right wall, the left side of the bed is by the window, there is a pair of single sofas and a small coffee table, if it is not for the smell of disinfectant water and some medical equipment in the room, it is said that the guest rooms of the hotel are not the same.

"Who...... Who? When he entered, Gu Changjun was sitting on the hospital bed, the bracket of the bed was propped up, and he was sleeping on the board of the stent in a hospital gown.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head slightly, and asked weakly in his mouth.

"Ancient ...... Secretary Gu...... You...... You....... When Song Yuanchao saw Gu Changjun's appearance clearly, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Is this still the Gu Changjun he knows? Now Gu Changjun and he have lost a lot of weight in their memory, the whole person is about to lose his shape, his hair is also thinning a lot, and it is still that unhealthy withered yellow.

Wearing a crumpled hospital gown, with an oxygen tube inserted in his nostrils, and a large oxygen cylinder next to the bed, the tube protruding from the cylinder and connected by an oxygen filter, the water in which the water tumbles and makes a slight noise.

When he saw that it was Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang, Gu Changjun showed a surprised expression on his face, but this expression passed in an instant, and soon turned into calm again.

"You...... You guys...... cough cough cough ...... How did you guys get here? ”

"Secretary Gu, you didn't even say a word to us when you were hospitalized, you shouldn't, you shouldn't!" Lu Baogang stepped forward and held Gu Changjun's hand, tears falling from his eyes.

"Lao Lu, I'm not dead yet, what are you crying about?" Gu Changjun frowned and said, "Is it the eldest or the second brother who told you?" These two stinky boys! I have taken care of them, and my words have fallen on deaf ears! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changjun coughed violently again, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed to the side. Song Yuanchao hurriedly put down the things in his hand, helped Gu Changjun take the tea on the cabinet on the right, and then helped Gu Changjun drink two sips of water.

After drinking the water, Gu Changjun eased up a little, he took a deep breath and sighed: "You are all busy people, there is no need to come and see me, I don't let them say that it is actually ......." ”

"Secretary Gu, you are so sick and still hiding it from us, you shouldn't be!" Song Yuanchao interrupted him and said, "I also called you before the Chinese New Year, and you were coughing at the time, and you still hid from me on the phone what did you say that you had a cold?" If Lao Lu hadn't told me that you were hospitalized, I wouldn't have known about your hospitalization until now. ”

Gu Changjun smiled and wanted to say something, but there was another cough, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang hurriedly patted their backs, and the other continued to feed the water, and it gradually stopped after a while.

"Old Gu, ...... you sick?" Lu Baogang couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a big deal, at least not to die all of a sudden." Gu Changjun waved his hand and gave them a reluctant smile at the same time.

Although Gu Changjun said so, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang were not blind, so they couldn't see that Gu Changjun's situation was very bad.

At this moment, a nurse walked in with a medicine bottle, saw the two people in the ward frowning slightly, and said that the patient was going to take medicine, and asked Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang to leave first.

】

Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang glanced at each other, and the two temporarily withdrew from the ward. Standing in the corridor, their faces were ugly, they never thought that Gu Changjun would be seriously ill like this.

After thinking about it, Song Yuanchao and Lu Bao just discussed a few words, and the two went to the doctor's office.

When he got there and knocked on the door, Lu Baogang communicated with the doctor because of his age, and asked about Gu Changjun's condition in the name of Gu Changjun's unit.

When he learned that they were the leaders and colleagues of Gu Changjun's unit, the doctor did not hide it from them, and directly told Gu Changjun about the situation.

After listening to the doctor's words, Song Yuanchao and Lu Baogang were silent, they never thought that Gu Changjun was actually in the advanced stage of lung cancer now, and the next time was probably not much.
