Director Cai arrived five minutes early.
"Director Li, I'm sorry to bother you."
"Director Cai, please have a seat." After inviting him to sit down, Li Chu personally brewed him a cup of tea.
Dean Du and Political Commissar Gao, along with several vice deans and deputy political commissars who were at home, and a group of middle-level managers, came over to say hello.
But it seemed everyone tacitly agreed not to call him Director Wan.
After they left, Zhao Zhijun then went out and closed the office door.
"Director Li should already know why I'm here today, right?"
Li Chu nodded: "This morning, Elder Shen called me and told me. Director Cai, it's your job to investigate after receiving the report, just like when a patient comes to my clinic, I have to see them. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Thank you for your understanding, Director Li. Now that you know, I'll just say what I have to say."
"Speaking"
"Director Li, although there are still quite a few private transactions using US dollars, it is still illegal. I hope you will be more careful in the future."
“I need to apologize to the organization for this. It was indeed my fault. I also promise that it will not happen again. I spent all the US dollars I had when I bought that house. This kind of thing will never happen again.”
Very good, at least the attitude is correct.
"No need to be so serious." Director Cai waved his hand with a smile: "My second purpose in coming here today is to tell you, Comrade Li Chu, that you have withstood the organization's test this time, but at the same time, I hope you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and continue to maintain this original aspiration in your future work and life."
"Please rest assured, leaders and the organization."
"The third point concerns the whistleblower."
When the whistleblower was mentioned, Li Chu already had a general idea in mind. Old Shen had already told him the gist of it on the phone earlier. Although he didn't mention the specific whistleblower, the only people who could know so much about the house purchase transaction were Guo Xiangyang and his wife, and Chen He.
It definitely wasn't Chen He. If he wanted to report something, he wouldn't have sent the report to the hospital.
That leaves only that couple.
"The whistleblower in the letter is Guo Xiangyang, and it's a real-name report. To be honest, I admire him quite a bit. It was transferred from the hospital..."
"Director Cai, may I interrupt you here?" Li Chu spoke up when he heard him say this.
"That letter of complaint wasn't forwarded by the General Hospital; it was submitted by Comrade Wan Changsheng himself. Dean Du and Political Commissar Gao understand the organizational procedures."
Director Cai looked at Li Chu with some surprise. These words made him momentarily lost in thought. After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, nodded, and continued speaking.
“After receiving the report, we reported it to our superiors. While investigating you, I also sent someone to investigate the whistleblower. We were surprised to find that he himself had quite a few problems. I have already had the findings handed over to the local police.”
This was truly beyond Li Chu's expectations; reporting someone else led to him being reported to the police station.
“Uh… Director Cai, I never intended to retaliate.”
"Hey, Comrade Li Chu, I never thought you would do that. Handing over his materials to the police is just a matter of official business. But I reckon the local police, considering how badly he's already suffered, probably won't punish him too severely."
"He was really pitiful to be scammed this time, and I really sympathize with him. But he also got what he deserved. I heard that quite a few people advised him against it at the time."
"Heh, this is what happens when you can't reason with a damned ghost. He made his own choice, so what can anyone else do?"
With the business concluded, the two chatted casually about other things.
After sitting for a while longer, Director Cai prepared to take his leave, as he had a lot to do every day.
"By the way, Director Li, where did Director Wan from your main hospital come from?" Director Cai, who had already reached the door and was about to open it, stopped and asked.
"I don't know exactly where he is. This Director Wan seems a bit unsociable. I only know that he was in a field army before he came here. Maybe his way of thinking is different from ours as technical soldiers."
"Oh," Director Cai nodded slightly, "This comrade has quite a few ideas."
"Right, I think so too," Li Chu said with a light laugh.
"Director Li, please wait a moment. There's no need to see me off."
"You're welcome. I'm also going to the outpatient clinic today. That foreigner is coming for a follow-up appointment."
Zhao Zhijun, who had been keeping an eye on things from his office, came out as soon as he heard the door open. Seeing the two leaders come out together, he went towards the stairwell first.
"Speaking of foreigners, Director Li has single-handedly generated a lot of foreign exchange for the country in the past two years."
"I make a living with this skill. And all I do are tasks assigned by my superiors."
"You're too modest, Director Li. Oh, right, speaking of relying on skills, I forgot to mention earlier. I'll make an appointment when you have time to take a look at my back. It always feels a bit sore and uncomfortable."
Li Chu noticed from his movements when he sat down and stood up that he seemed to have a problem with his back, but since it was their first conversation, she didn't want to say anything more and didn't point it out.
“Sure, Director Cai can just give me a call anytime.”
As soon as the two of them reached the bottom of the stairs, Dean Du and Political Commissar Gao followed closely behind.
After another round of pleasantries, Director Cai finally got into his car and left.
"Old Li, what time is that foreigner's follow-up appointment?"
Seeing that Li Chu had said goodbye and was about to leave, Political Commissar Gao quickly stopped him.
"Ten o'clock, does Political Commissar Gao have something to say?"
"We have twenty minutes left, let's walk and talk. Lao Du, you go first, I'll have a few words with Lao Li."
Dean Du waved his hand and walked into the office building.
"Old Li, I only heard about this from Old Du after I came here this morning."
"Don't even mention you, I only found out this morning after I arrived," Li Chu said with a smile.
“Some comrades are disorganized and undisciplined, and some have gone too far. I will report this to my superiors.”
"Old Gao, there's no need to overanalyze it; the higher-ups can see it."
Nobody likes a troublemaker who doesn't follow the rules.
Meanwhile, Director Wan, who had just received the news from Director Cai, was standing in front of his office window, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
As he looked at the two walking side by side, his heart sank, as if he were about to fall into the deepest abyss.
This attempt to test the waters backfired spectacularly. Who can I blame but myself for being too hasty? I rushed in without even understanding the other person's background, and to make matters worse, I ended up taking on the toughest challenge.
