"Thank you, boss!" Wang Jian said cheerfully.
Liu Zi waved to him, telling him to go ahead and get busy, and then left.
Liu Daqiang, carrying the nourishing soup his wife had made and some fruit, took a taxi to the General Hospital of the Military Region.
After being informed through multiple levels of the authorities, Liu Daqiang finally met his old superior.
"How are you feeling?" Liu Daqiang asked with concern as soon as he entered the door, and then handed the things he brought to the orderly who came to greet him.
"Much better!" Old Li was also quite happy to see Liu Daqiang.
"I heard you were investigated a few days ago?" Old Li was hospitalized for high blood pressure a few days ago, but no one told him. It was only after he felt much better these past two days that his secretary told him.
"A bunch of petty people, they won't last two days. Some of them will become desperate and do something rash." Liu Daqiang didn't take it seriously.
“That won’t work either. If everyone did what they did, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?” Old Li retorted, disagreeing.
“The director is on a research trip in Europe. I have already reported the situation to him, and he told me to wait for him to come back and handle it.” Liu Daqiang’s counterattack has begun.
"Don't worry, sir," Liu Daqiang reassured him.
"I have nothing to hide, they won't find anything wrong with me. But you, you need to take good care of yourself. I'm waiting for you to recover so we can play a few more games!"
Old Li said with a hint of disdain, "You lousy chess player, who wants to play with you?"
"Haha, wait until I get back and train hard. We'll see what happens after you're discharged from the hospital. I'll definitely beat you to a pulp then." Liu Daqiang laughed heartily.
"Then I'll be waiting!" Old Li pointed at Liu Daqiang and laughed along.
The orderly came out to get something, stood at the door, and listened to the leader's laughter coming from the ward. He was impressed by how capable this Director Liu was.
These past two days, Old Li has been insisting on being discharged from the hospital and has been giving everyone the cold shoulder.
How has Grandpa been these past few days?
Li Mu suddenly spoke, startling the orderly who had been in a daze.
"Xiao Mu! What brings you here?" The orderly patted his chest to calm himself down.
"I had nothing to do today, so I thought I'd come and see who's inside?" Li Mu could hear his grandfather's loud voice even from outside.
"Liu Daqiang, Director Liu, it seems he used to be a soldier under the commander. After retiring from the army, he now works at the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau." Liu Daqiang comes quite often, and the orderly knows him very well.
"Oh!" Li Mu nodded, not really remembering it.
He spent eight years in the army and ten years in business, so he spent too little time with his grandfather and was unaware of many people and things.
The attendant knocked on the door, then opened it and led Li Mu into the ward.
"Grandpa!" Li Mu greeted Grandpa Li from the front of the ward.
"Here he comes!" Old Li raised an eyebrow. Why has this guy been coming so often lately?
"This is your Uncle Liu."
"Daqiang, this is my grandson, Li Mu!"
Mr. Li introduced the two of them.
"Li Mu? I often hear the old commander mention you. You're young and promising!" Liu Daqiang said with a smile, extending his hand.
"Hello, Uncle Liu!" Li Mu politely returned the handshake.
Seeing Li Mu's air of wealth and status, Liu Daqiang asked curiously, "What does Li Mu do for a living?"
"After I was discharged from the military, I started my own company," Li Mu replied simply.
"Not bad, starting your own business, that's promising!" Liu Daqiang praised.
"You're so lucky, sir!" Liu Daqiang said to Old Li.
"Stop acting like that to outsiders, it disgusts me," Old Li said with a hint of displeasure.
Liu Daqiang was taken aback, then rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
Liu Daqiang had met many business elites like Li Mu before, and superficial mutual flattery had become second nature to him.
Upon first seeing Li Mu's aura, he was momentarily stunned.
"Oh dear, it's almost time. You two can chat for a bit, I need to go home for dinner." Liu Daqiang glanced at his watch.
Li Mu felt that the watch looked somewhat familiar.
"Alright, then you can go back now!" Old Li waved to Liu Daqiang, telling him to go home with peace of mind.
Seeing that his old leader looked much more haggard this time, Liu Daqiang thought that he should visit him more often in the future.
"How's the company doing lately?" Old Li asked.
"Everything is fine, you don't need to worry." Li Mu pulled up a chair and sat down.
"I'm not concerned about your company, I'm concerned about your personal life. You're not getting any younger, you're 34, when are you going to get married?" Old Li reminded him unhappily.
"..."
Li Mu always wanted to hear this kind of talk every time he came.
"I think Old Zhao's granddaughter is quite nice..."
Old Li has started his daily routine of urging people to get married again.
"Grandpa, don't play matchmaker." Li Mu quickly interrupted her grandfather.
"It won't hurt you to take a look," Old Li said irritably.
"I don't like blind dates," Li Mu said, only this one sentence.
"Are you deliberately coming here to annoy me? You won't look for someone yourself, so you can't expect someone else to help you find someone? At your age, you should be grateful if someone is even willing to be your partner, and you're still being picky?"
When I was your age, your dad was already cooking.
"Look at Ren Daqiang's daughter. Even though she's divorced, she at least brought him two granddaughters back. You can't even compare to her. What can I say about you?"
Old Li went on and on.
Li Mu felt utterly hopeless. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have come over for lunch with the old man.
"Sir, what's in this pot?" The orderly interrupted quickly, fearing that the old commander's blood pressure would rise again.
"Oh, this is a nourishing soup that Daqiang's wife made for me. Pour me a bowl in a bit." Old Li glanced over.
"Really? What kind of soup?" the orderly asked curiously, knowing that the commander couldn't drink anything too greasy.
“…I forgot.” Li Mu remembered that Daqiang had just told him something.
"It's okay, I'll open it and take a look."
The attendant opened the lid, and a rich aroma immediately wafted out.
Old Li sniffed, then leaned over, being lured to look closer.
"Pork rib soup?"
"Yes, there's corn too. The oil on the surface of the soup has been skimmed off. You can have a couple more bowls if you like." The clerk was completely relieved. You could tell whether the person delivering the food was thoughtful or not just by looking at the soup.
"This Daqiang is quite particular."
Although Old Li complained, he felt very pleased inside.
Li Mu raised an eyebrow; the soup smelled quite good.
After being scolded for so long, Grandpa should be able to give him a bowl of soup!
The preparatory meeting for CCTV was held in the conference room on the third floor of the TV station building.
Liu Zi timed her departure from home perfectly, arriving at the TV station just in time.
Because today's preparatory meeting included not only local Beijing residents but also participants from various provinces, cities, and business groups, there was some congestion near the TV station building.
After thinking about it, Liu Zi realized that it wasn't far from here, so she parked the car and walked there.
