"Brother, didn't you know when your wife went to sue them?"
"I really don't know. If I had known, I would never have let her go." He Yuzhu squatted down in frustration, clenching his fists and repeatedly hitting his head.
"Alright, bro, there's no point in saying anything else, let's just wait."
Just as it was about lunchtime, Li Chu came out of the building.
He walked directly toward He Yuzhu.
The meeting had just ended when the sentry downstairs called him to say that someone was looking for him and that he had been waiting there.
Upon seeing Li Chu approach, He Yuzhu, who was sitting on the steps, dusted himself off and stood up, pulling Xiao Yang up with him as well.
"Zhu Zi, what's this? You brought a police officer to talk to me?"
"No, no, no, don't misunderstand, this is my brother-in-law, you can just call him Xiao Yang." He Yuzhu quickly waved his hand to explain.
Xiao Yang quickly saluted Li Chu: "Hello, Vice President Li. My name is Yang Jun. I am He Yushui's husband and a police officer at Qianmen Police Station."
"Hello, Comrade Yang Jun." Li Chu shook hands with him.
Looking at He Yuzhu, he asked, "Zhuzi, what brings you here again?"
"It's still about Qin Huairu. I just went to the Procuratorial Committee, but they said they didn't take her away. I really don't know where to look for her anymore, so I have no choice but to trouble you again."
"Brother Chu, I know Qin Huairu did something wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf. After she gets out, I will definitely bring her to apologize to you personally. Can you please help me, for the sake of us being neighbors?"
Seeing He Yuzhu humbly apologizing to him, Li Chu sighed inwardly. He had missed out on so many good marriage opportunities before, and now he had fallen for Qin Huairu.
“Zhu Zi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but ever since Qin Huairu reported my brother and me, apart from Xu Damao telling me about it yesterday and you coming to see me today, no one else has told me about it. I really don’t know where she is.”
"Brother Chu, my brother-in-law said that the cars those people were driving yesterday belonged to the military." He Yuzhu said cautiously to Li Chu.
"A military vehicle? So you think it was the military who took Qin Huairu away?"
Li Chu smiled and shook his head: "Let me put it this way, that's impossible. The military won't just go to the local area to arrest people. That would be a mistake. Besides, the person driving the military vehicle isn't necessarily a member of the military."
Li Chu could roughly guess who had taken the person away, but guessing was one thing, since the other party hadn't contacted him, he was happy to remain unaware.
Looking at Li Chu's seemingly genuine expression, He Yuzhu's heart sank.
Where is he supposed to find someone?
Just then, the announcement for lunch service came on.
"Zhu Zi, Xiao Yang, how about we grab lunch at my place?"
Seeing that his brother-in-law was still standing there dumbfounded, Yang Jun quickly said, "No, Vice Dean Li, we'll go back to eat. You go ahead with your work, we'll be going now."
After saying that, he pulled He Yuzhu and walked towards the hospital gate.
He Yuzhu seemed to have lost his soul, and didn't even greet Li Chu. Xiao Yang pulled him along, and he followed.
After watching the two people turn the corner, Li Chu headed towards the cafeteria.
It's nothing serious. He estimated that in a day or two at most, those people would let Qin Huairu go home.
However, Li Qin is probably still angry, so it's uncertain whether she'll go after her again.
At the small canteen, Ding Qiunan had already prepared his meal and was waiting for him.
"Why are you so late? Didn't you finish your meeting half a day ago?"
Ding Qiunan handed the coins she was holding to her husband.
"Eat up, we have braised pork today."
“He Yuzhu came again just now, and he brought his brother-in-law with him.”
"His brother-in-law? I think it's Yushui's husband. I heard from Xiao'e that he's a policeman."
"Yes, he was a police officer. He Yuzhu spent ages trying to talk to me, and I just managed to get rid of him."
"Hmph... I never imagined that Qin Huairu could be so wicked as to make a false accusation."
"Human hearts are hard to fathom! You can't know what people are thinking just by looking into their hearts."
"I will never talk to Qin Huairu again. I have never seen such a shameless person."
"Let's not talk about her, honey. Let's eat. This braised pork is pretty good today."
"You, you two are really loving. You even serve each other food at lunch."
Just as Li Chu was putting a piece of meat on his wife's plate, a teasing voice came from the side.
He turned his head and saw Dean Shan walking over with a lunchbox.
"Dean, why are you only coming to eat now?"
Dean Shan sat down at a nearby table with a smile. When he saw Ding Qiunan trying to stand up to greet him, he waved his hand and said, "Comrade Qiunan, don't be shy, come and eat."
"I was getting ready to come over, but I got a phone call and was delayed. Are you free tomorrow?"
"We don't know yet. Dean, is there anything you need to tell us?"
"If we're free tomorrow, let's all go to the General Logistics Department for a meeting in the morning. The approval for the hospital's upgrade has been granted."
"Has it been approved from above?"
"It's approved! That's not easy. I heard they were studying troop reductions, and I thought our upgrade was going to fall through. I didn't expect to be notified just now that it's been approved."
disarmament?
Oh, right, Li Chu remembered that there were several military downsizings in the 1980s, which seemed to have totaled three million.
However, it seems that after the troop reduction is completed, new ranks will be awarded.
Now that the hospital has successfully upgraded, I wonder what rank I'll receive when the awards are conferred—a golden bean? Or two cents?
Forget it, it's still early, why think so much?
"Dean Xing, what time is the meeting tomorrow?"
"You can just go directly from home, you don't need to come to the hospital, we can meet there."
"No problem, Dean."
After finishing their meal, Li Chu and the others left first. Ding Qiunan, who had been holding back her words, asked as soon as she stepped out of the cafeteria, "What will our hospital's organizational structure be after the upgrade?"
"It's currently organized at the division level, but it will become organized at the army level in the future."
"That high? What will our traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy look like then?"
Li Chu thought for a moment before saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be a regimental-level organization."
"My God, does that mean I've reached the level of a regimental commander?"
Ding Qiunan muttered incredulously.
"Haha," Li Chu laughed out loud when he heard his wife's mutterings.
"The ranks are similar, but the positions are vastly different."
"As long as they are at the same level, that's fine. If you really ask me to manage so many people, I can't manage them all."
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Go back to your office and rest for a while."
