When Li Chu left the department after attending the meeting on Monday, it was almost noon.
At the meeting, the leader first affirmed the feasibility of the suggestion.
He also praised Li Chu, saying that he had made his own contribution to the standardization of industry operations.
After discussion, a preliminary plan for how to standardize the process was determined.
As for the specific implementation details, these will need to be formulated through research by experts.
With things having come to this point, Li Chu can be considered to have successfully retired.
Pushing his bicycle slowly, Li Chu's mind drifted back to the scene of the meeting he had just attended.
He really didn't expect that Commander Wu would come to the meeting in person.
He was completely stunned when he first saw it, but after he came to his senses, he was filled with excitement.
Although he remembered seeing his predecessor when he was a child and even being held by him, it didn't stop him from being so excited that he even stuttered a little when he spoke.
To his surprise, after the meeting, Commander Wu specially met with him in the office of the department leader.
Someone must have reported Li Chu's file beforehand; otherwise, how could a busy leader possibly remember a kid from twenty years ago?
The meeting didn't involve much discussion, but Li Chu received some encouragement, which still moved him deeply.
As Li Chu was pushing his cart, he thought about how Chief Wu had died of illness. He must have been diagnosed with cancer but insisted on working despite his illness, which led to his early passing.
Although he has now joined the health care team, it is not his place to get involved in the daily health care of these leaders. He can only wait for an opportunity to see if he can change history in the future.
He stopped thinking about these things and focused on doing his best first, dealing with the rest later.
I hopped on my bike and sped home, my figure receding into the distance.
In May, Beijing was bathed in sunshine and full of springtime charm.
Early in the morning, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan waved goodbye to the two children sitting in the stroller at the gate of the courtyard.
Ding Qiunan has been back at the hospital for a month now, and Aunt Wang comes over every morning to help them take care of the children.
The two separated upon arriving at the hospital and went to their respective work posts.
When Ding Qiunan left her children to go to work on her first day, she cried her eyes out, but the two children had a great time playing with Aunt Wang.
She was furious and kept saying they were two heartless little brats.
Originally, Li Chu planned to have Ding Qiunan stay home to take care of the child until he was one year old before going back to work.
Because by then the child could go to the hospital's daycare, they could bring the child to work and pick them up after get off work, without troubling Aunt Wang. But plans don't always go as expected.
On February 21 this year, while he was on duty, he heard that the central government had held an expanded meeting.
Li Chu didn't pay much attention to this meeting, because there were meetings of all sizes almost every day while working here.
He had no idea that this week-long meeting would have such a huge impact on the future development of New China.
Starting in mid-March, the situation suddenly seemed to become a bit strange.
One day, Uncle Wang even called him to his office and reminded him that from now on he must keep a low profile.
They also told him to stop everything except seeing doctors and going on duty.
Don't say things you shouldn't say to anyone outside, whether they are friends or colleagues.
He was also advised that it would be best to let Ding Qiunan go back to work, and that Aunt Wang would take care of the child.
Uncle Wang gave Li Chu detailed instructions, even saying things like, "The more you do, the more mistakes you make; if you do nothing, you won't make any mistakes."
Finally, I told him about the points that were finalized at the last meeting, five of which were for cities and the other four for rural areas.
Uncle Wang's words made Li Chu realize that this was the prelude to a great era.
The leaders who formulated those plans probably never imagined that a sports meet would turn out like that, and even be exploited by those with ulterior motives.
Li Chu's heart pounded violently. The comfortable life he had led over the past few years had made him forget about this matter.
Not daring to waste any more time, Li Chu told Ding Qiunan after returning from Uncle Wang's place.
Ding Qiunan had never seen Li Chu so serious in all the years she had been married to him. Even though she was reluctant to part with the child, she still obediently agreed.
When Li Chu arrived at the clinic, Nurse Wang had already finished cleaning up.
I greeted Nurse Wang, changed into a white coat, made myself a cup of tea, and then sat down behind my desk to read the newspaper.
This has become the norm for him lately.
He has now stopped both taking notes and researching kidney disease.
The medical school leaders even came to him, wanting to know when he would finish his fourth notebook, but he dismissed them, saying that he hadn't accumulated enough knowledge yet and couldn't continue writing.
As for research on kidney disease, he will never go to other hospitals now, but if there are patients with this condition at his own hospital, he will still participate in their treatment.
There were fewer patients during this period, so Li Chu leisurely flipped through the newspaper to pass the time.
"Xiao Li, come out here for a moment."
Director Liang's voice came from the doorway, and Li Chu put down his newspaper and went out.
Director Liang led him to the pool in the middle of the courtyard before stopping.
Lighting a cigarette, Director Liang said, "We just announced at the meeting that Dean Yang has been transferred."
"Where was he transferred to?" Li Chu thought it was normal for a leader of Dean Yang's level to be transferred, so he asked casually.
"A township health center under Tongxian County."
Director Liang's words made Li Chu's eyes widen. What a joke! Their hospital is a ministry-affiliated hospital, and Dean Yang's rank is bureau-level. What rank is the director of the town health center? Does he even have a rank?
"How could this be, Director Liang?" Li Chu said in disbelief.
"Isn't it a bit unbelievable? I think so too, but that's just how it is," Director Liang said with a wry smile.
After taking a drag of his cigarette, Director Liang continued, "After the meeting, I heard from them that someone had reported Dean Yang, saying he was too bureaucratic."
After hearing Director Liang's explanation, Li Chu remained silent.
Dean Yang is not an academic dean, and he is not young.
Knowing he didn't understand the business, he divided the work with several vice deans and never interfered in business management.
The old man usually spoke in a somewhat bureaucratic tone. But after a few interactions, Li Chu thought he was a pretty good person, so he never expected that he would be sued this time.
Director Liang threw away his cigarette and patted Li Chu on the shoulder: "Little Li, remember, just do your job well from now on."
After saying that, Director Liang left without returning to his office, and instead headed towards the hospital gate.
Li Chu stood there, watching Director Liang walk out of the hospital gate before returning to his own office.
