Chapter 67: The Cold and Warmth of Human Relationships

  "Oh?" Director Wu chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Yang Bin: "Kid, my old mother is a bit muddled, likes to run around, and even eats other people's things... Hmm, take this bag of apples."

  Director Wu did this, of course, to show a little gratitude, and possibly also saw that Yang Bin's status was lowly, so the word "thank" didn't come out, using a thrown bag of apples to represent it.

  "Director Wu, you're being too polite... no need, no need... I just happened to be visiting a patient nearby..." Yang Bin hastily stood up and put the apple back, making an excuse to Director Wu.

  "Are you from the China Merchants Bureau?" Director Wu asked Yang Bin a sentence, which was a kind of courtesy.

  "Uh-huh." Yang Bin nodded and stood beside Director Wu without sitting back down.

  "Sit down and talk... You accompanied Director Wu to the operation, went in this morning, and still haven't come out yet." Director Wu looked Yang Bin up and down again.

  He and Dai Hongfei met at the Municipal Party School, because they both served in the army and had similar personalities, so their families have always been very close. Originally, Director Wu occupied a VIP ward by himself, but when Dai Hongfei arrived yesterday and heard that he was also there, he decided to stay with him instead.

  Yesterday, when Director Dai was just hospitalized, there were a lot of people from the China Merchants Bureau who came to visit him. However, after hearing that Director Dai's condition was very serious and the surgery risk was high, even if the surgery could be successfully performed, he would need at least half a year to a year of rest and recuperation, and would not be able to engage in intense work again. After being discharged from the hospital, he could only hold an honorary position, and basically no one came to visit him anymore.

  Yes, and here comes this young man again today.

  "Where is Director Dai having surgery?" Yang Bin hastily asked Director Wu.

  "This... I'm not very clear about it either, you'd better ask those nurses outside." Director Wu shook his head.

  At this time, Yang Bin's mobile phone rang. It was Sun Piaoyun calling back. She had just received a call from Yang Bin while talking to someone else, so she called back now.

  "Xiao Bin, what brings you to look for me?" Sun Piaoyun asked in a very warm tone.

  Xiao Bin heard her shouting and Yang Bin got goosebumps all over his body.

  "I've come to Director Dai's place, but I didn't see him, so I'm asking you about his surgery... Do you know where he had the surgery?" Yang Bin asked Sun Piaoyun.

  "Xiao Bin, from now on, there will be a sister in the bureau to take care of you, why are you still looking for Director Dai? After his surgery, he definitely won't return to the Investment Promotion Bureau again. His body is no longer suitable for leadership work either. Even after he finishes his sick leave, the city may arrange an idle job for him and then wait for retirement to spend his later years in peace. Do you understand?" Sun Piaoyun 'reminded' Yang Bin a few words.

  Xun Piaoyun understood the actual situation was worse than what she told Yang Bin, which was the exact message that Director Huang and Director Guo got from the experts in the consultation... After further examination, Dai Hongfei's aortic aneurysm was located in a very bad position, and internationally, the success rate of this surgery did not exceed 5%.

  This basically means... it's a miracle that Dai Hongfei survived the surgery... he was basically a dead man, so it's no wonder that China Merchants Group and Sun Peiyuan are taking this attitude now.

  Dai Hongfei's personality was not very welcome in the Merchant Shipping Bureau, but his identity was there, so everyone usually gave him face. However, before he left on Monday, he made another arbitrary decision to transfer Yang Bin into the system and put him in charge of Project Group 4, basically offending all the people who could be offended... from Qi Haoying in the Comprehensive Office to Qian Dong in the Project Department, of course, including his own protégé Sun Piaoyun.

  Director Huang Weilin and Director Guo Zhongda, who was suppressed by Dai Hongfei, have never gotten along with Dai Hongfei. After this news intentionally or unintentionally came out, of course, Dai Hongfei is now a persona non grata, not to mention that he is now a dead man walking.

  "Uh, I see." Yang Bin didn't want to say anything more about this topic with Sun Piaoyun, so he just responded with a sentence and then hung up the phone. Yang Bin still didn't know how severe Dai Hongfei's illness was, but he could sense the feeling of "when someone is gone, the tea becomes cold" from Sun Piaoyun's words.

  Yang Bin came here to visit Dai Hongfei, not because of Dai's position as director, nor thinking that Dai would still be able to cover for him after he returned, but simply because Dai had helped him before, and this kindness, he must repay.

  "Has he been asked? If not, you go ask those nurses... the operation has taken so long, shouldn't he be out by now?" Director Wu said to Yang Bin after he hung up his phone. When Dai Hongfei came in yesterday, he only briefly mentioned something about a brain tumor, so Director Wu didn't pay much attention or intentionally try to find out more.

  "Alright, then... Director Wu, take good care of yourself and get well soon. I'll go outside to ask about Director Dai's surgery..." Yang Bin stood up and bid farewell to Director Wu before leaving.

  Although I wanted to pull in Director Wu's connections, how could I go about it for no reason? He came to visit Dai Hongfei, and now that he's heard Dai Hongfei has gone into surgery, staying here any longer would be somewhat superfluous.

  Wu Gang nodded at Yang Bin and then turned his head to talk to Wu Feiyan.

  Yang Bin took two steps, but found that Wu Mu had already grabbed his arm again, smiling and staring at him without letting go, making him feel embarrassed... She was Director Wu's mother, after all, he couldn't just push her away.

  Director Wu happened to see this scene, haha laughed and asked Wu Feiyan to come over and pull Wu Mu away. Yang Bin nodded to Director Wu again, then quickly walked out of the ward.

  When Yang Bin went out, the door of the ward just happened to be pushed open by someone. A middle-aged woman in her 40s and a bald-headed woman walked in. Yang Bin hurriedly made way for them... The two who came in... Although they were both women, the aura of having been in official circles for a long time seemed to be no less than that of Director Wu lying on the bed!

  Middle-aged woman is the wife of Wu Gang, the director of the Public Security Bureau, and the mother of Wu Feiyan. She is also Duan Xueying, the director of the Provincial Department of Culture and the secretary of the party group. The Duan family has a strong political background, and Wu Gang's career path has been so smooth all along because he married into the Duan family.

  Guang Tou Nü is the younger sister of Shi Wei Secretary Chang Xiang Yang, Chang Jing Jing, who previously held the position of Deputy Director of Yun Feng City Judicial Bureau. Due to cancer worsening a few years ago, she was hospitalized for chemotherapy and became bald. Just now, when Chang Jing Jing went out for a walk, she met Duan Xue Ning and they started talking together. Later, Wu Fei Yan took away Wu Mu then lost the phone call, Wu Mu mistakenly grabbed Yang Bin.

  Yang Bin naturally couldn't recognize the identities of Duan Xue Ning and Chang Jing Jing, and after retreating to let them in, he carefully walked out the door. Although they couldn't establish a relationship for the time being, at least they didn't leave a bad impression on them, who knows, maybe there will be another chance to interact with them in the future.

  Well, helping Little Swallow find Wu Mu is a good start. As for the future, it depends on fate.

  ……

  Dai's family didn't know whether it was due to disappointment with human relationships or some other reason, but they specifically instructed not to let these doctors and nurses reveal the location of Dai Hongfei's surgery, so Yang Bin ran up and down the building for a whole circle without getting any results.

  Director Dai will probably return to his ward after the surgery, right?

  Yang Bin decided to wait and see, returning to the end of the corridor outside Dai Hongfei's hospital room. Although he also wanted to go into that room again and find an opportunity to get closer to Wu's family, he really couldn't think of a good idea to take another step forward. Moreover, considering that when Wu's family arrived, those people from the Public Security Bureau would leave the hospital room tactfully, if he went in like this again, he would definitely be at a loss.

  So in the end, Yang Bin chose to stand guard in the corridor, quietly waiting for Director Dai's surgery to be over.

  Yang Bin and others had not been in the corridor for long when Bald-headed woman Chang Jingjing walked out of Wu Gang's ward with a smile, and when she passed by Yang Bin, she seemed to have recognized that he was the one who came out of Director Wu's ward earlier, so she nodded and smiled at him.

  Yang Bin didn't know who she was, but he immediately returned her a very bright smile.

  She probably thought Yang Bin's smile was too dazzling, or... a bit silly. Chang Jingjing looked at Yang Bin with a puzzled expression again, then covered her mouth and smiled before turning around to leave.

  Yang Bin pursed his lips, seemingly also realizing that he had laughed a bit too exaggeratedly just now.

  Then waited in the hospital corridor for over ten minutes, still no one was pushed from elsewhere, but another person came out of Wu Gang's ward.

  Wu Feiyan.

  The old devil has a request, brothers and sisters, after finishing the update, take half a minute to look.

  Lao Mo normally doesn't interact with people except for writing, but somehow still managed to offend some individuals. Starting from "Ao Bi Island", there has been a very stubborn humanoid creature that, for unknown reasons, took a dislike to Lao Mo and every day persistently gave his books the reader impression of being 'dull and uninteresting'.

  The old devil had to close the reader's impression of those two books shortly after opening them, but even after closing the reader's impression, this humanoid creature still stubbornly refused to give up and opened the reader's impression column through other means. For more than a year, it brushed "boring" for "OBI Island" to over 1,700 times, and "boring" for "Gu Xiang Computer" to over 800 times, without stopping until today. Now, it has even added the old devil's new book "Guan De".

  Can't help but admire this humanoid's perseverance and persistence.

  Is this book going to be forced to close the reader's impression again? The old devil has been tolerant and has always been bullied! This time, I don't want to yield to the shameless villain again! The old devil can't swallow this breath! The old devil doesn't believe it yet! So many brothers and sisters still can't deal with a shameless villain!?

  Please help me out, brothers and sisters! Every day, take a moment to add some other readers' impressions to "Guan De", and brush away this "dullness"!

  Bow down to brothers and sisters! Click the mouse lightly to give Lao Mo strength! Press this shameless little man into the toilet bowl to drink feces water!
