Chapter 1170 Emotional Out-of-Control
Living to Xu Changshan's age, he has long understood a truth: people always have to learn to give up. For example, he accepted the reality that his children were not around, accepted his gradual aging, and accepted hiding the golden signboard passed down by his ancestors.
Unwrapping the velvet covering the signboard, looking at the three golden characters of Huichuntang that gradually faded due to the baptism of time, Xu Changshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The name of Huichuntang also faded like this gold, and one day it will be lost in time. No one will remember Huichuntang anymore, and no one will remember the glory of the Xu family. The Xu family's medical skills will have no successors.
None of his sons and grandsons are willing to practice medicine. Although Zheng Pei'an was officially accepted as a disciple, he was not talented and lacked the passion for research. It was obviously impossible to expect him to inherit his mantle.
Xu Changshan thought to himself that this signboard might never see the light of day again.
There was a knock on the door, and then the voice of his daughter Xu Jiaan was heard: "Dad, are you there?"
Xu Changshan answered and turned to go out. He knew what his eldest daughter had been through recently, but he would not ask if his daughter did not take the initiative to ask. Whether she decided to divorce or continue to maintain the marriage was her freedom, and he could not interfere. As long as she could accept it and as long as she was safe and sound, it would be fine.
During the time when he returned home to recuperate, Xu Jiaan recovered a lot both physically and mentally. His face became rosy, and his heart was more open than before. He finally got over the hurdle in the past. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. He can manage them for a while, but not for a lifetime.
Xu Jiaan wanted to tell his father that he was going back to Shanghai. Xu Changshan nodded. Since the day his daughter got married, he realized that Shanghai was his daughter's home, and he was just her mother's home.
"When are you leaving?"
"I want to leave tomorrow." Xu Jiaan didn't dare to look into his father's eyes when he spoke. He always felt that he had done something guilty. He thought of his father when he needed to heal his wounds. He would leave when his wounds healed.
Xu Changshan said, "Go ahead. You can't stay in Dongzhou all the time when there are so many things going on at home."
Xu Jiaan looked up at her gray-haired father, her nose was sore and she almost cried. Xu Changshan smiled and patted the back of her hand: "You are so old, don't be like a child. I am still strong and Chunliang is by my side. You don't have to worry about me."
Xu Jiaan said, "Dad, I'm sorry."
Xu Changshan said, "How can you say that? You are all good children. You have done nothing wrong to me. By the way, try to come back to see me during the holidays. After all, I am old and we don't have many opportunities to meet. Bring the children with you when you have time."
Xu Jiaan nodded with tears in her eyes. Her father did not mention her husband Liang Shude's name, which seemed to be intentional.
At this time, Gao Xinhua called and told Xu Changshan that Zheng Peian was in trouble. Today, Zheng Peian had a conflict with the patient's family while working in the emergency room. They fought on the spot. Zheng Peian, who was out of control, broke the other party's nose with one punch. Now he was called to the local police station.
Gao Xinhua didn't want to find Xu Changshan, but he couldn't contact Xu Chunliang. Zheng Peian didn't have many relatives. The closest one was his master. Xu Changshan put down the phone and rushed to the police station.
Because the bureau held an important meeting today, the meeting required all participants to turn off their phones or turn them to flight mode during the meeting. Xu Chunliang also abided by the rules.
The leadership of Dongzhou attached great importance to this meeting. The organization specially sent people to attend the meeting to introduce the new deputy director Jiang Qiyong. Even Wang Tongan, who was sick and recuperating at home, attended this meeting for the first time.
There were two themes of the meeting. One was the report on the handling results of Deputy Director Song Xinyu's violations of regulations and disciplines, and the other was the explanation of Jiang Qiyong's appointment.
Wang Tongan was very serious throughout the meeting. Today's meeting is extremely important to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It is not an exaggeration to call it epoch-making. From today on, it means that the new forces represented by Jiang Qiyong will challenge his leadership power.
Wang Tongan was no longer depressed as before, but was a little excited in his heart. He knew very well that it was difficult for Xu Chunliang and Jiang Qiyong to form a unified position, that is, their interests were in conflict. He still had a way of judging people. Jiang Qiyong was very power-minded, and Xu Chunliang wanted to achieve the goal of controlling the Civil Affairs Bureau through himself. The two could not agree on this point.
Wang Tongan thought in his heart that since Xu Chunliang could use him, he could also use him.
Although he was reluctant in his heart, Wang Tongan still expressed his welcome and expectation for the new second-in-command on behalf of the Civil Affairs Bureau at the meeting. His speech was enthusiastic and sincere, but no one at the meeting would take it seriously. It was just a cliché within the system.
On the other hand, Jiang Qiyong was much more real and arrogant. He thanked the city leaders for their trust, but did not thank Wang Tongan. He said that he would resolutely complete the tasks assigned to him by the leaders and resolutely rectify the unhealthy trends in the Civil Affairs Bureau.
During Jiang Qiyong's speech, Wang Tongan's face became more and more ugly. Before Jiang Qiyong finished speaking, Wang Tongan said that he couldn't stand it and left first.
Everyone can understand that Wang Tongan was originally in the recuperation period and it was not time for him to go to work. It was not easy to hold on until now. Wang Tongan's leaving halfway also showed his attitude. I am very unhappy with you, Jiang Qiyong. The Civil Affairs Bureau is not yet your time to be the master. You want to rectify it. What right do you have to rectify it? Who do you want to rectify?
Jiang Qiyong did not choose to end because of Wang Tongan's departure. His speech lasted for nearly 20 minutes.
Xu Chunliang, who attended this meeting, found that Jiang Qiyong was indeed a bit crazy. On the first day he came to the Civil Affairs Bureau, he made no secret of his ambitions. People who don't understand that low-key people are either stupid or really have super strength. Just show your contempt for all sentient beings. Jiang Qiyong is not stupid. He obviously belongs to the latter. His background allows him to choose to be willful. Coming to the Civil Affairs Bureau is just a springboard for him.
In fact, Jiang Qiyong himself didn't want to come. This deputy bureau didn't have much room for development, and it was far less practical than being the leader in Guquan Town. He always believed that he had to make strides forward and take a long-term view.
The meeting was chaired by Zhong Mingyan, who was also the deputy director. She felt very uncomfortable. She was better than Jiang Qiyong in terms of age and seniority. But now Jiang Qiyong had overtaken him in a corner and was organizationally established as the first deputy director. In other words, in the future, I will not only report to Director Wang but also Director Jiang.
So when it was finally up to her to conclude, she smiled and dismissed the meeting lightly.
Xu Chunliang was about to take out his mobile phone after the meeting when he saw Jiang Qiyong walking towards him with a smile. Xu Chunliang couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye, so he also greeted him with a smile. He shook hands with Jiang Qiyong: "Jiang Bureau, it's so big Everything was kept hidden from me, and no news was revealed to me in Dongjiang.”
Jiang Qiyong smiled and said: "Xiao Xu, I didn't want to hide it from you. I didn't get the news when we met that day. This appointment from the superior was also very sudden for me." He lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, I don’t want to take on this mess like the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Xu Chunliang was secretly amused. This guy is so crazy. The leader asked you to be the second-in-command, instead of asking you to take charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Why is there Lao Wang above you? You are a deputy, and you have no idea.
Xu Chunliang said: "Yes, I heard that the city is going to establish Binhu New District, and Guquan Town is about to undergo major development. I would not feel comfortable asking you to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau at such a critical time." He was deliberately irritating. Jiang Qiyong, don't be so complacent. If you don't get it, Secretary Wang will give you a chance to rise and fall secretly. I'm afraid that if you stay in Guquan Town, you will cause trouble for your future work.
Xu Chunliang's words pierced Jiang Qiyong's heart. In fact, Jiang Qiyong had had such thoughts, and Jiang Qiyong's smile became a little unnatural.
Jiang Qiyong went to greet Zhong Mingyan again, and Xu Chunliang left quickly. He really didn't like dealing with people like Jiang Qiyong. He saw many common problems among aristocratic families in Jiang Qiyong.
As soon as Xu Chunliang turned on his phone, the missed call messages rang one after another. He glanced at WeChat and saw Gao Xinhua's message. It turned out that Zheng Pei'an had been taken away by the police station. Xu Chunliang thought about it for a moment and it must be related to that day. It is related to the conversation between himself and Zheng Pei'an.
My sister-in-law made it clear that she would not develop an in-depth relationship with Zheng Pei'an, which is why Zheng Pei'an was so greatly affected. During work, she lost control of her emotions and had conflicts with the patient's family members.
Xu Chunliang inevitably felt a little guilty. He told the office and hurried to the police station. He called Gao Xinhua on the way. Gao Xinhua told others that he had been released on bail and was sending Zheng Pei'an home first. Mr. Xu also followed.
Xu Chunliang rushed to Zheng Pei'an's house and saw his grandfather and Gao Xinhua sitting next to Zheng Pei'an. Zheng Pei'an had his head drooped and covered his head with his hands. It was unclear whether he was frustrated or regretful.
As the secretary of Changxing Hospital, Gao Xinhua had to say a few words to him and sighed: "Zheng Pei'an, you are already a grown-up. Why are you still so impulsive after working for so many years? You actually got into a fight with a patient's family member during work? You know How much negative impact does this have on our hospital?”
Zheng Pei'an said: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's all my fault. I resign. I quit. I'll go to the head office, right?"
Gao Xinhua said angrily: "What is your attitude? After the trouble is over, you will resign and explain?"
"Then what else do you want? The worst is to fire me! Otherwise, if you send me in, I will commit a heinous crime and I will be a bastard." Zheng Pei'an's mood was still unstable.
Xu Changshan stopped Gao Xinhua from continuing with his eyes, and sighed: "Pei'an, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this in the past."
Zheng Pei'an pursed his lips: "Master, I'm sorry for you."
Xu Changshan said: "There is no need to say sorry between us, but no matter what the reason is, you should not fight with the patient's family."
