Chapter 193: Accidental Injury
Although the snack bar has a telephone, it does not have long-distance service, so only local calls can be made.
When he arrived at the post office, Du Haijie paid a deposit and then queued up. He waited for more than ten minutes before it was his turn. Now long-distance calls require manual transfer, which is not only troublesome, but also has poor call quality.
Fortunately, the call was quickly connected, and he immediately recognized Cai Jing's voice.
"Hello, Director Cai! I am Du Shaojie. I have something to trouble you with."
Du Shaojie quickly made it clear the purpose of the call, which was to find a reliable person to go to Zhongda to see Du Xiaomei.
The reason he gave was also very strange, probably a whim.
"Master Du, you are so good to your family! Leave this matter to me, and I will tell you as soon as there is a result. Give me a phone number and I will call you later."
Cai Jing laughed on the other end of the phone and agreed very readily.
Du Shaojie reported the phone number of the snack bar and the private restaurant to the other party.
The two chatted for a few more words and then hung up.
Du Shaojie went to the counter to pay. In fact, he spent more than ten yuan in a short time.
"Long-distance calls are really expensive!"
Du Shaojie walked out of the post office and complained subconsciously.
How could it not be expensive? Nowadays, long-distance charges are charged by region, and it costs several yuan per minute. Most people don't make calls unless it's an emergency. At most, they just send a telegram.
In a few years, when China starts importing program-controlled switches, the phone charges will slowly drop.
The phone charges will really drop to a level that ordinary people can accept without any pressure. It will probably have to wait until the rise of domestic program-controlled switches, which is still a long way off.
Shenzhen City.
After Cai Jing put down the phone, she thought about it and called Director Luo.
"Director Luo, our little Master Du asked me for help. I can't leave recently, so I can only ask you for help. This is what happened."
Cai Jing briefly told Du Shaojie about the matter, and the person on the other end of the phone laughed.
"The little guy cares about his family very much. I know the president of Zhongda University. I will call him later. How is Master Xiao Du now?"
Although Director Luo now holds a sinecure, his position is very high, and he can just call for any small matter.
He can still recall the last time he had dinner at the farm.
Director Luo has always admired Du Shaojie, but now they are far apart, and he doesn't know much about his situation.
"Master Xiao Du is now very impressive. He has contracted a snack bar, opened a [big plate chicken] specialty store, and opened a private restaurant. I heard that he also got a special chef certificate."
Cai Jing smiled and introduced the relevant situation to Director Luo. She has been in contact with Feng Qingsong and heard a lot of news from him.
"Haha, young people are really enterprising. I am a little tempted to call him to the south. Xiao Cai, you must remember this matter and ask him to visit you when you have the chance."
Director Luo chatted with Cai Jing for a while, and then hung up the phone.
Then he called Principal Wang to find out about Du Shaomei's situation.
How did Principal Wang know who Du Xiaomei was? He immediately sent someone to find out, and soon received a reply.
After receiving the news, Director Luo did not delay and turned back to tell Cai Ning. The whole process took only about an hour, and the efficiency was extremely high.
Du Shaojie returned to the snack bar from the post office and began to reconcile with the finance department.
If it were in the future, he should have opened a company if he owned several stores. Then the company's financial staff would supervise and manage the financial situation of each store, so why would they bother him?
Now it's not possible. Private restaurants, [Big Plate Chicken] specialty stores, and snack bars all require him to check the accounts regularly.
After checking the accounts, Du Shaojie was about to go home when the phone in the office rang.
"Master Du, don't worry after hearing this. Your sister Xiaomei fell off her bike due to an accident, resulting in a fracture of her left leg. This incident did not affect her studies, but it was not very convenient for her life.
After you called me, I found Director Luo. Director Luo has a good relationship with President Wang of Zhongda University. President Wang promised to take care of her within a reasonable range. Don't worry."
The call was from Cai Jing, who told Du Shaojie about Xiaomei.
An accidental fall that resulted in a fracture is not a very serious problem, but it must be actively treated and well-trained, otherwise it will leave a root of disease.
"Thank you, Director Cai! At the same time, thank Director Luo for me. I will definitely visit you when I have the chance."
Du Shaojie was naturally very worried, but he did not show it. He chatted with Cai Jing for a while before hanging up.
When he got home, he thought about it again and again and told her about Xiaomei's injury.
Wang Yuxiu and Xiaoya were so anxious that they cried. Wang Yuxiu wanted to go to Yangcheng to take care of her daughter, but she had never been away from home before, and she was worried that she would not only be unable to help, but would cause trouble instead.
"Mom, Xiaoya, don't worry. Xiaomei has been injured for a while, and there's no point in worrying. Let me go and see her. I'll stay for a few days and come back if nothing happens."
Du Shaojie was also worried, so he decided to go there by himself.
The next day, he went to the bureau to get a letter of introduction and asked someone to book a plane ticket for the next day.
The snack bar was handed over to Yu Jianxin, Huang Tingting and Qin Xiaomei, and the three of them would discuss and handle any matters. The [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store was handed over to Dong Jun, and the private restaurant was handed over to Zhong Fuxiang.
The business money was handed over to Wang Yuxiu the next day, and then saved up, and he would reconcile the accounts in detail when he came back.
After arranging these things, he went to Liang Meiqin's house in the afternoon.
Liang Meiqin learned that Du Shaojie was going to Guangzhou, and specifically talked about the climate there, and asked him to bring some light clothes.
"Meiqin, you stay at home, I'll be back soon. When I come back, I'll take you out to play."
Then he gave the English tape Liang Meiqin wanted and stood up to leave.
Liang Meiqin suddenly felt reluctant to leave and held Du Shaojie for a long time. She had unconsciously regarded him as a support. When he was going on a long journey, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Go and do your work. Come back when you are done and say hello to Xiaomei for me."
After a long time, Liang Meiqin let go of Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie comforted him a few more words before turning around and leaving.
The next morning.
Du Shaojie went to the airport alone and flew to Guangzhou.
When he arrived at Xiaomei's school, it was already afternoon. He found a decent guesthouse near the school and opened a single room. Even in Guangzhou, there are no good hotels now. The White Swan has not been built yet and will probably open in 1983.
After putting away his luggage, he walked into the campus with his shoulder bag.
Du Shaojie registered with the guard and asked about the location of Xiaomei's dormitory. He walked for a long time before finding the place.
After communicating with the dormitory manager on the first floor, the manager went up to take a look and said that the person was not in the dormitory. At this time, he probably went to the cafeteria to eat.
Du Shaojie thanked him and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
On the way, he met a few girls, one of whom had a plaster cast on her left calf and walked towards him on crutches.
"Xiaomei!"
"Brother! Why are you here?"
Du Shaojie was angry and sad when he saw Du Xiaomei's appearance. This older sister was not a worry-free person. She hid such a big thing from her family.
Xiaomei was very surprised to see her brother, but of course she was a little worried, worried that she would be scolded.
"This is my brother, brother, they are my roommates. Thanks to them for taking care of me during this period of time."
Du Xiaomei rolled her eyes and quickly introduced her brother to everyone.
At the same time, she also introduced her three roommates, Wang Yan, Liu Chuhong and Jiang Xiaoling.
"Thank you for taking care of my sister. I will treat everyone to dinner tomorrow night. Please don't refuse."
Du Shaojie didn't bother to argue with Xiaomei and expressed his gratitude to the three people.
The three girls were a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Du Shaojie directly, mainly because he was too handsome.
Later, Xiaomei's three roommates said goodbye and left.
Du Shaojie helped his sister find a chair to sit down and asked about her injuries in detail.
"It's too late tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital the day after tomorrow. You are so brave now. You didn't tell your family when something happened, and you can handle it yourself? If there are any sequelae, you won't have tears to cry."
Du Shaojie stretched out his hand and flicked Xiaomei's forehead. If she wasn't injured, she might have kicked her.
Du Xiaomei lowered her head and apologized repeatedly.
"Okay, go back and rest first, we'll talk tomorrow if you have anything to say. I'm going to see someone tonight and contact the hospital for treatment. If you have anything, ask your classmates for help, don't hold on, do you hear me?"
"I heard it, brother."
Xiaomei pouted, but her heart was sweeter than eating honey.
She knew how busy her brother was, but once she knew she was injured, she came to Yangcheng immediately, and of course it felt good to be cared for by her family.
She knew that her brother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and her attitude could be as good as possible, so she didn't dare to give her brother a chance to lose his temper.
Du Shaojie then sent Xiaomei to the dormitory building, and the dormitory manager helped to call Jiang Xiaoling and the others down, and supported Xiaomei back to the dormitory.
He left the school and ate something at a food stall, then returned to the guesthouse and called Director Luo. The phone number was given by Cai Jing, and the other party not only gave the phone number but also the detailed address.
However, it seemed a bit abrupt to go directly to the door, so it would be better to call first.
Director Luo happened to be resting at home after dinner, and he was very happy to receive Du Shaojie's call: "Come over directly, and we'll talk when we meet."
Du Shaojie went back to the room to get a few bags of local specialties, bought some fruits outside, and hurried to Director Luo's residence.
He explained his purpose in the guard room, and the guard called to verify before letting him in.
"Director Luo, hello! Long time no see."
"Yes, it's been several years. Xiao Du, why did you suddenly come to Guangzhou? Is it because of your sister?"
After the guests and hosts sat down, Director Luo asked the nanny to bring tea and washed fruits.
"My sister broke her bones accidentally, and I came to see her because I was worried. Director Luo, I want to trouble you for a favor. Do you know anyone in a big hospital? I want to take her for a follow-up check."
"It's a small matter. I'll contact them later and help you find a specialist to see your sister."
Director Luo smiled slightly. Such a matter was nothing to him and could be solved with just a phone call.
Therefore, he agreed very happily.
