It's over! We shouldn't have pinned our hopes on him!

"Vice Governor Xiao, please stop joking. There are so many doctors in Beijing. If the old leader's health was really so good, he wouldn't have been here until now."

Several senior leaders are each equipped with a highly skilled private doctor, and have special intensive care units at home equipped with various professional medical equipment.

Daily Western medicine treatment, Chinese medicine conditioning, and medicinal food supplements prepared by professional chefs can only temporarily delay the deterioration of the disease.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the aging of organs is basically irreversible.

But now you tell us that the old leader is fine after being treated by Director Yang and can smoke and drink again.

Are you too naive, or do you think we are fools?

Several guards looked at Xiao Qingyang speechlessly and sighed deeply.

"Everyone, this matter still depends on us. It is our responsibility to ensure the safety and health of the old leader."

Just when several guards were about to go in and make a strong appeal, risking punishment from the old leader, several senior leaders and Yang Baiyi came to the front hall, chatting and laughing.

"Comrade Xiao Yang, you must take some time to go to the capital in the next few days. The health of the President and Mr. Zhou is not optimistic, and you need to take care of them."

"Yes! I suffered so much during the war and got hurt so much that my body is exhausted.

Fortunately, fate has been kind to us, allowing us to meet a genius like Comrade Xiao Yang in our twilight years, allowing us to enjoy a few good years in our later years."

Several senior leaders walked with a steady and cautious gait, not at all like the frail old men they looked in the morning.

"Old Chief, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell?"

The guards who were about to go to the main hall saw the leaders coming out chatting and laughing, and they all came closer with nervous looks on their faces.

"Do we look like we're in trouble?"

Mr. Peng's voice was as loud as a bell, and he had regained the heroic spirit of his youth.

"No, the old commander is still as elegant as ever."

Looking at the old leaders walking steadily and with rosy complexions, they really seemed to have recovered their health.

Of course, a rosy complexion does not necessarily mean health; it could also be caused by drinking alcohol.

Seeing that the leaders had left early, Mu Xue and her family hurried over to see them off.

"Girl, Comrade Xiao Yang is now in your care. You must ensure good logistics for him and stabilize the rear area.

He is a man who will do great things, and he may be traveling frequently, so he can't be with you every day. You should work harder to take care of the elderly and raise children for him."

Mr. Zhu expressed his concern for Lin Wanru and conveyed the organization's earnest expectations.

"Don't worry, leaders. I have made all the mental preparations since the day we planned to get married.

I will definitely respect the elderly and take good care of the family so that he can carry out his mission without any worries."

Lin Wanru's tone was particularly firm.

"Very good, very good! Comrade Xiao Qingyang, Comrade Lin Tieshan, the organization has noticed your performance.

Such outstanding comrades should shoulder more responsibilities, take on more important positions, and make greater contributions to the country."

Old Chen shook hands with Xiao Qingyang and Lin Tieshan, expressing the organization's intention to add more responsibilities to the two of them.

"Thank you, thank you leaders for your concern, thank you for the organization's training. I will work harder in the future and live up to the organization's expectations."

Lin Tieshan was so excited that he almost swore an oath.

Compared with Lin Tieshan, Xiao Qingyang's reaction was much calmer. From a farm reform worker to deputy provincial governor, he has accepted the reality that he is a dependent.

"Well, he is not surprised by praise or criticism, and has an extraordinary demeanor."

Xiao Qingyang's calm reaction unexpectedly earned him high praise from the leaders.

Several of their old comrades looked at them with envy as they were about to be promoted.

Especially Xiao Qingyang. When Xiao Qingyang was in trouble, everyone sighed and felt indignant for him. But in the blink of an eye, he became the highest-ranking one among their comrades.

After drinking Yang Baiyi's wedding wine, I was able to convey the leader's message and also get my body in good shape, which was an unexpected surprise.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the Red Flag convoy drive away.

"Wenjiang, we didn't drink enough at noon, let's continue drinking tonight!"

Although several senior leaders have repeatedly stated that there is no leadership today and positions are not considered, no one really thinks so.

"We want to have a good drink to celebrate the double happiness of Brother Xiao's family."

Everyone knew what Wen Jiang meant. The so-called double happiness, the first happiness must be the wedding of Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru, and the second happiness is Xiao Qingyang's promotion to vice governor. Judging from the intention of the top leader, he can take another step forward soon.

According to Xiao Qingyang's suggestion, Xia Dong went to the kitchen to communicate with the chefs and asked them not to go back yet, but to work overtime in the evening and prepare a few more tables of meals according to the standards of noon.

The chefs agreed readily. They couldn't say anything else about the mayor's arrangement, let alone paying them more. Even if it was just free help, they couldn't say anything else.

At the dinner, Xiao Qingyang and his old comrades sat at a separate table, with a large bowl in front of each of them, ready to drink until they were drunk.

After each person drank three bowls of wine, everyone started talking more.

"Tieshan, I teased you at noon, saying that your marriage was a generation downgrade. Now looking back, I think you have a long-term vision."

Wen Jiang, the loud speaker, couldn't help but express his true feelings after drinking a few bowls of wine.

"Who says it's not? If it allows me to take another step forward, I'd be willing to step down not just one generation, but even two!"

At their level, further progress is almost impossible.

Now is a peaceful time, there are not so many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, unlike in wartime. As long as you dare to fight and are lucky enough to survive, you will eventually have your day to shine.

Heroes emerge in troubled times and heroes are made by the times. This sentence still makes a lot of sense.

"Cheng Dawa, there are some things you can't envy. With your ugly appearance, how can your daughter be pretty?

Unlike me, when I was young, I was a famous handsome man in the whole area, and my daughter was also as beautiful as a flower."

From being the object of everyone's ridicule to being the focus of everyone's envy, Lin Tieshan finally felt proud of himself.

After the dinner, Xiao Qingyang asked Xia Dong to arrange several cars to take his old comrades to the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse to rest.

His family and Lin Tieshan's family stayed in Jinyun Villa to rest.

After a busy day, Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru finally had some time alone. After washing up, they walked into the bridal chamber hand in hand.

After tonight, the two will be real husband and wife. Lin Wanru feels sweet with a hint of anticipation, and shy with a hint of nervousness.

"Wanru, it's getting late, let's go to bed early!"

The lights in the room were turned off and the moon shyly hid in the clouds.
