The next day.
"Good morning everyone."
"Good morning, Xiaodong."
"Good morning, comrade firefighter, hee hee."
"Khan, I told you not to call me that, you're not a fireman."
While talking and laughing, it’s time to go to work. Zhou Changchun did not come to the work today. It seems that he has not been seen since noon yesterday. He may have taken sick leave again. After all, Zhou Changchun has cerebral thrombosis and other chronic diseases and has not been in good health. There is no one to supervise the office, and no one else is doing much work. Guo Panwei lowers his head to analyze stock trends, Guo Shunjie only reads forums online, and most of the other work is done by Tan Limei and Dong Xuebin.
"Director Zhou will probably have dozens of days of sick leave this year, right?" Tan Limei complained in a low voice.
Dong Xuebin was stunned, "So many?"
Tan Limei said: "I have been talking less. It seemed to be the same last year. Alas, when Director Zhou was away, my workload increased sharply. Fortunately, you and Zhuang Zi came in this year, otherwise I would be too busy. Glancing at Guo Shunjie and the others sitting not far away, Tan Limei hummed in a low voice: "You are occupying the latrine and don't poop."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "I guess Director Zhou will go to work tomorrow. Come, I will help you print things."
It wasn't until the lunch break that everyone learned the news that Zhou Changchun was hospitalized for cerebral thrombosis.
No one was surprised at all, maybe they were used to it.
Guo Panwei hurriedly asked which hospital and ward Director Zhou was staying in, and then said immediately: "I'm going to see Director Zhou."
"I'm going too." Of course Dong Xuebin can't lag behind. Although his relationship with Zhou Changchun is already very close, this kind of visit will not enhance any relationship. But if others go and he doesn't go, what will be left for the leader? impression? The leader may be thinking: What’s going on? I'm in the hospital and you don't come to see me? Do you have a problem with me
Guo Shunjie and Chang Juan also said they were going. Finally, a group of people from the General Affairs Office simply took two cars and arrived at the Friendship Hospital together.
Neurology ward.
"Director Zhou, how is your health?"
"Feeling better?"
Zhou Changchun, who was dressed in a hospital gown, was lying quietly with his wife. After not seeing her for a few days, he seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, and his complexion was very bad. His wife was packing the lunch box for him next to her. When she saw Dong Xuebin and others filing in, she forced herself to smile and went up to him, thanked her, took the fruit baskets and flowers they bought, and placed them on the window sill of the ward. And asked them to sit in the empty patient room next to them.
"Everyone is here?" Zhou Changchun sighed: "I'm fine, but I may not be able to go to work these two days."
Chang Juan pretended to be sad and said: "Director Zhou, if you are not in the office, we will lose our backbone."
Guo Panwei said to Director Zhou's wife diligently: "Auntie, if you need any help here, just ask. If you can't handle it alone, I can stay here in the afternoon."
Director Zhou's lover said: "No, thank you for thinking about me."
Zhou Changchun waved his hand and said: "Well, there is no need to keep anyone. You are busy with your work. There are many things to do in the comprehensive office." His cerebral thrombosis may be really serious. During this period, Director Zhou went to the bathroom and it was very difficult for his legs and feet to walk. Zhou Changchun had to rely on the support of his lover to support his body and move forward slowly. It seemed that he would not be able to go to work in a short time.
After a few words of concern, Dong Xuebin and others were about to say goodbye and leave for fear of disturbing the leader's rest.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Changchun hesitated for a moment and waved to them: "Pan Wei, Xiao Dong, you two can stay here for a while."
Guo Shunjie's brows twitched, he glanced at Dong Xuebin and then turned away. Tan Limei and Chang Juan Zhuangzi also followed closely behind. Everyone understands that Guo Panwei and Dong Xuebin must have far surpassed them in Zhou Changchun's heart. Needless to say, Dong Xuebin just helped Zhou Changchun rescue the documents. Guo Panwei has been pursuing Zhou Changchun's policy all these years. The director's principle of "hit wherever he points" makes him Zhou Changchun's most effective subordinate.
In the ward, Dong Xuebin and Guo Panwei looked at each other and stood there suspiciously, waiting for Director Zhou to speak.
However, Zhou Changchun hesitated for a while, sighed silently, and finally sighed: "You two are my most trusted subordinates. From now on..." his voice hesitated, "from now on... do your best." Seeing Dong Xuebin and Xuebin asked inexplicably. Zhou Changchun waved his hand and said, "Go back and let my wife take you downstairs."
Dong Xuebin and the other two couldn't ask more questions, "Then please take care of yourself and we'll come back another day."
Director Zhou's wife escorted them to the corner of the corridor.
Dong Xuebin turned around and said: "Auntie, please go back, don't send it away."
Director Zhou's lover hesitated to speak, as if he had something to say, but in the end he just said yes, "You guys at the General Affairs Office need to worry more."
Guo Panwei immediately said: "Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job."
Dong Xuebin felt something was wrong, and both husband and wife seemed to have a point in their words.
After returning to the unit, Dong Xuebin continued to work as usual.
At around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Shunjie suddenly answered a phone call, and he didn't know why he went crazy. He became energetic and started to work seriously, printing documents and helping to deliver files. Not long after, Guo Panwei came back from a trip with the same expression as him. He was actively working with a smile on his face. He clenched the stock analysis chart on the table into a ball of paper and threw it into the trash. box.
Dong Xuebin was puzzled and asked Zhuangzi quietly: "What's going on?"
Zhuangzi looked at "Er Guo" inexplicably, "I don't know, is the salary going to be increased?"
Chang Juan and Lao Yan also looked suspicious.
When it was time to get off work, Tan Limei, who had gone to help the Political Department to get things, returned to the General Office and brought back a big news, "Hey, have you heard about it?"
Dong Xuebin blinked, "What did you hear?"
Zhuangzi scratched his head: "Is there really going to be a salary increase?"
"It's a good idea." Tan Limei rolled her eyes at him and said quickly: "It's Director Zhou. Director Zhou is about to recover from his illness." Tan Limei's words attracted the attention of Dong Xuebin, Zhuang Zi and others, "Me too. According to what the Political Department said, the new director will most likely choose one of these people from our General Office."
Dong Xuebin was shocked: "Real or false?"
"Ah?" Chang Juan said in surprise: "Isn't Director Zhou still under age? Is he so ill?"
Tan Limei whispered: "I heard two theories. One is that some leaders were dissatisfied with Director Zhou's request for leave, and the other is that Director Zhou had financial problems, so he was 'retired' due to illness. It was not voluntary, otherwise Director Zhou should have told us just now when we talked to the hospital."
Economic issues
corruption
After hearing this shocking news, Lao Yan was stunned for a moment and then had no other reaction and continued to read the newspaper.
The two of them, Er Guo, were not even stunned. They had obviously known this for a long time.
I fainted, and Dong Xuebin suddenly realized. I asked why these two lazy people Guo Panwei and Guo Shunjie suddenly changed into different people. It turns out that this is what happened.
Director Zhou retires due to illness or is dismissed, and the position of deputy director becomes vacant.
