Chapter 177: Every year has this day, every year has this day
Liu Kai?
The person being honored is Liu Kai?
Su Mei raised her buttocks slightly, then sat down again. She saw Liu Kai standing up not far from her.
Liu Kai seemed to have known where Su Mei was standing. After standing up, he gave Su Mei a provocative smile.
That ugly smile seemed to be telling Su Mei: No matter how much you do, all the credit belongs to me, right?
He stood up proudly, walked up to the award podium, and accepted the honor that did not belong to him.
However, just as he was about to receive the certificate of commendation, Huo Jianguo, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and saluted everyone. Then he said solemnly:
"This honor should not belong to Liu Kai!"
"What do you mean?" The person on the stage frowned when he saw Huo Jianguo interrupted his speech. He looked at Huo Jianguo and asked.
Then, Su Mei saw Huo Jianguo marching up to the stage and handing a thick pile of documents to the leader. He said:
"Hello, leader. This is a piece of evidence that lists a series of crimes committed by the local county hospital director Liu Xuenian, including long-term abuse of power for corruption, control of local medical resources, and pursuit of personal gain.
During this disaster rescue operation, Liu Kai was extremely unprofessional. Someone else did the job he was supposed to do, but he took the credit that did not belong to him.
Liu Kai is absolutely unworthy of such an honor. When he was practicing medicine, he had two medical accidents, both of which resulted in death, but his father Liu Xuenian used money to cover up the matter.
This chain of evidence has a very complete account of all the events. I ask the central leadership to thoroughly investigate all of this matter."
As soon as Huo Jianguo finished speaking, the hall became restless.
The military officers in the hall suddenly stood up and controlled the parasites of the medical system sitting next to them, and Liu Kai was escorted off the stage.
He shouted to a middle-aged man:
"Dad, save me, save me, didn't you say that I would never be in any trouble as long as you were around?"
The middle-aged man was the director of the county hospital, Liu Xuenian. He was surrounded by two officers and could hardly protect himself.
At the bottom of the state-owned hotel, sirens suddenly sounded loudly.
The commendation and summary meeting turned into an arrest meeting.
Liu Kai, this godly man, was put in solitary confinement the first time Su Mei met him. The second time she met him, he was also put in solitary confinement. The third time she met him, he took his father with him to jail.
The slap in the face came so quickly,
Su Mei didn't know what to say...
It was not until all the people were taken away and Huo Jianguo returned to Su Mei that she realized that ever since she had told Huo Jianguo about Liu Kai last time, Huo Jianguo had secretly launched an investigation into this person.
He deliberately did nothing and released Liu Kai. After Liu Kai came back, he didn't tell his father what happened in the disaster area because he wanted to save face.
Therefore, Liu Xuenian didn't know that the medical team had temporarily changed its leader, and he happily exaggerated his son's achievements and reported it.
In order not to alert the enemy, Huo Jianguo did not expose the matter. He began to investigate Liu Xuenian seriously, intending to find evidence that Liu Xuenian was shielding his son through the investigation.
So as to wipe out harmful people like Liu Kai from the medical system.
Unexpectedly, during his investigation, he found out that Liu Xuenian was involved in manufacturing counterfeit drugs, cooperating with smugglers, and importing some private drugs through informal channels from the border for personal gain.
As well as condoning Liu Kai's illegal medical practice, using money to buy a medical qualification certificate for Liu Kai, and using money and power to cover up Liu Kai's repeated disregard for human life in medical accidents.
Huo Jianguo was amazed by everything he discovered inadvertently. Liu Xuenian appeared to be a very kind and tolerant person, but secretly he was a complete hypocrite.
It was also thanks to Liu Xuenian's doting on Liu Kai that he became addicted and raised such a stupid son like Liu Kai, which led to all of this being exposed unknowingly.
Huo Jianguo did not report all this, but chose to expose the matter in full view of the public when the central commissioner came.
This is because the relationships behind Liu Xuenian are very complicated, and Huo Jianguo feels that only by having someone from the central government take direct action can this gang be uprooted and wiped out in one fell swoop.
He called Su Mei over because he saw the anger and worry in Su Mei's eyes when she looked at Liu Kai. He wanted Su Mei to see with her own eyes the scene of Liu Kai being brought to justice.
Seeing Liu Kai being taken away, Huo Jianguo said to Su Mei:
"You can rest assured that Liu Kai will never have the chance to harm anyone again!"
"Well, you did a great job without making a sound. You played such a trick without saying anything, and I didn't even hear anything about it. You're really tight-lipped!"
"There's something even more pressing!" Huo Jianguo said in a somewhat mysterious tone.
After leaving the conference room, he actually covered Su Mei's eyes with a piece of cloth and whispered in her ear:
"Let me show you something good!"
"What is this? Why are you so mysterious? Why are you covering your eyes?"
Huo Jianguo said nothing. He took Su Mei downstairs, pulled her into the car, took her for a spin and then stopped. Then he took her up the stairs, went upstairs, pushed open a door, asked her to stand still, and then took the ribbon off her eyes.
When the ribbon was taken off, Su Mei saw an old-fashioned margarine cake on the dining table. There were four big characters written on the cake:
happy birthday!
"You've been so busy that you forgot even your own birthday? A few years ago, you wrote to me, always saying that you wanted me to go back and spend your birthday with you, but I never paid any attention to you. I don't want to communicate with you, let alone have dinner with you. I'm sorry.
Last year, you waited for me to celebrate your birthday, but I was away from home for three days because of a mission. After I came back, you cried for a long time. This year, I remembered it, Su Mei, I wish you a happy birthday! "
"Thank you!" Su Mei pursed her lips and swallowed hard. For some reason, her eyes suddenly became sour.
She had longed countless times to be able to taste a sweet birthday cake on her birthday like other children, but that was a luxury for her.
Birthday cakes were so out of reach. Every time she saw other children tasting the soft cakes, she could only swallow her saliva silently in her heart, and then in the dead of night, she would secretly fantasize about having a cake herself.
In her previous life, she had lived for more than 30 years and had never celebrated her birthday.
In the orphanage where she lives, the children do not have individual birthdays. All the children celebrate their birthdays on June 1st.
A group of children gathered together to blow the cake. After that, each child could only get a very small piece of cake.
When she was nine years old, the cake ordered by the orphanage was too small, resulting in Su Mei and several other children not getting any cake. She cried bitterly.
This was the first time in her life that she had a cake that was completely her own.
"Isn't it just a cake? Look how moved you are. You weren't this excited when I handed you the passbook that night." Huo Jianguo didn't know what was going on in Su Mei's mind.
I just thought that she was upset because she remembered that he refused to spend her birthday with her a few years ago, and she felt very guilty for a moment.
Su Mei responded with a choked voice: "Of course I am moved. This is the first time in my life that I have my own cake!"
"That's nothing strange. Eating birthday cakes only started last year or the year before last. I've never heard of it before.
I went to the hotel and heard the waiter say that you can order a cake for your birthday. This is your first cake, and I haven't even had my first one yet!" Huo Jianguo didn't doubt Su Mei's words at all. He had never heard of buying a cake for a birthday before.
Su Mei raised her head and held back the tears that were welling up in her eyes. She sat down and looked at the cake, then asked in confusion:
"Why aren't there any candles?"
"What do you want candles for?"
"Birthday cakes always have candles on them. After putting the candles on, I make a wish and then I blow out the candles, and then my wish will come true."
"Okay, I'll get you a candle."
As he spoke, Huo Jianguo walked out.
He came back with a candle in a short while. Looking at the thick white candle for lighting in Huo Jianguo's hand, Su Mei was hesitant to speak.
Finally, she could only convince herself that cakes were not popular yet, and maybe people in border areas were not used to using candles, so the candles that Huo Jianguo handed over were so unique.
Although the candle was indeed a bit strange, Su Mei still stuck it on the cake and lit it solemnly. This was her first cake. She made a wish seriously and said silently in her heart:
May I have this day every year and every year!
