The Science spread its sails and sailed on the calm Wusong River.
After winter, the water level of the Wusong River not only gradually dropped, but the flow rate also became very slow. If a boat sailed on it without sailing or rowing, the speed was almost the same as walking.
However, this is a good time to build water conservancy projects. On the south bank of the Wusong River, the third phase of the Kunshan project has been in full swing.
On the endless riverbank, flags of various colors were planted everywhere, and under each flag, a group of civilians were working hard.
On the river, the Science passed by one stone-carrying ship after another. The Kunshan people who were manning the ships saluted and greeted Mr. Zhao on the deck.
Zhao Hao felt ashamed, as he didn't even know when the third phase of the project started. After the experience of the first two phases of the project, Kunkaisi has become more and more smooth, and the cooperation of the Kunshan migrant workers is very high. Not only does Zhao Hao no longer have to worry about it, but even Jiang Xueying doesn't have to do everything herself, and can spare time to do other things.
But Mr. Zhao had to stay on the levee most of the time. There was no other way. The third phase of the project still required the whole county to be mobilized, and as the head of the county, he had to be with everyone.
"The laborers in Kunshan all said that if they don't see their elderly parents for a day, they feel they have no energy to work..."
The person who said this was Niu Chenshi, but he was not on the Science, but on the governor's boat not far away.
The decree appointing Hai Rui as the governor of Yingtian has come down. Before officially taking office, he will go to Kunshan to visit Lin Run first.
Hai Rui was wearing a cloth robe that had been washed so much that it looked bleached. He had a serious expression and said nothing, which made Niu Chenshi and others standing by even more uneasy.
"Zhongcheng, do you want to notify County Magistrate Zhao to go to the dock to greet him?" Tian Tongpan asked carefully.
Hai Rui glanced at Judge Tian and said coldly, "When we get to the dock, you are not allowed to get off the boat."
"Ah..." Pan Tian felt as if he had been hit hard and felt that he was being rejected.
Niu Chenshi and others also tried to persuade him: "Zhongcheng, Zhongcheng Lin learned a bloody lesson. Safety comes first."
"I'll take care of it myself." Hai Rui ignored him.
~~
Zhao Hao arrived at Jiangnan Hospital before Hai Rui. This was certainly not a coincidence, but Hai Rui had asked Hai An to inform him of his itinerary in advance.
That's why Mr. Zhao hurried back to Kunshan from Nanjing.
What? Why didn't they arrive by different ship?
Mr. Hai is now the governor of Jiangnan, so Mr. Zhao and the Jiangnan Company have to avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, who knows whether the gentry, who are both afraid and hateful, will make up rumors such as "protective umbrella" and "white gloves"?
Zhao Hao didn't even wait for him at the dock, but went into the hospital first.
Jiangnan Hospital has resumed normal order, and people are coming in one after another to see the doctor.
He didn't greet the two deans, so naturally no one was waiting for him at the door.
The moment Zhao Hao walked into the hospital gate, several furtive men approached him from different directions.
Gao Wu remained vigilant at all times. When he saw something was wrong, his expression changed and he stood in front of Zhao Hao.
Several guards at the side immediately used their bodies to protect the young master.
The guards on the periphery acted quickly and subdued the guys who tried to get close to the young master in a blink of an eye.
Amid the screams of the people, the guards pinned several people to the ground, then skillfully removed their arms, searched their bodies, and picked their mouths. Their movements were done in one smooth motion, as if they had practiced it countless times.
There is no way. There are too many people who want to kill Master Zhao.
Zhao Hao's face didn't look good. First, he was frightened. Second, the governor would be here soon. How could they dare to let Hai Rui go to the hospital when there was such a big security flaw?
"Captain, there are no weapons and no poison sacs." The guards reported in surprise.
Gao Wu also felt a little strange. He waved his hand and asked someone to escort the young master to the security room, and then began to interrogate him on the spot.
After a while, he approached the security room with a strange look on his face, looked at Master Zhao for a long time, and blurted out three words.
"Ticket scalper..."
"Uh." Zhao Hao smacked his lips and asked, "Am I the kind of person who gets sucked in when buying an account at a high price?"
"..." Gao Wu took advantage of his slow speech problem and avoided this fatal question.
~~
Although it was a false alarm, Zhao Hao still ordered the hospital security captain to clear out all the idle people inside and outside the hospital and then raise the security level to the highest level.
Then, accompanied by Li Shizhen, who had rushed over after hearing the news, he walked to the inpatient area at the back.
Lin Run was transferred to a separate small courtyard on the north side of the back garden, which was under the dual protection of the Jiangnan Company and the Governor's Office. Except for the three miracle doctors and the head nurse named Wang Tiedan, no outsiders were allowed to enter.
As the two were talking about Lin Run's condition, they were walking through the back garden when they suddenly heard a surprised call.
"Mr. Zhao!"
Hearing the slightly hard Chongming woman's accent, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and turned back and asked, "Sister Huaixiu, why are you here?"
The woman was none other than Chen Huaixiu, the new leader of the Sand Ship Gang. Her expression froze when she heard that, and she didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.
Did Zhao Hao not remember her? But he called out her name just by the sound of her voice, and he called her so affectionately.
What if Zhao Hao remembered her? Before Zhao Hao left Chongming, they had agreed to meet in Kunshan half a month later when Xiao Teng was undergoing a follow-up examination. She had been waiting in Kunshan for more than half a month before this guy showed up. He even asked her why she was here...
The resourceful Boss Chen didn't know where to start and was embarrassed.
Secretary Ma quickly whispered in his ear to remind him, and Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I totally forgot, I totally forgot."
"Something big happened in Susong recently, and you have been busy traveling. You have just returned to Kunshan." Secretary Ma took the responsibility for Zhao Hao and said, "I made the decision on my own and did not remind you."
"You should at least send a message to Boss Chen first, and do it another day." Zhao Hao pointed at Secretary Ma with disgust, but secretly gave Sister Ma a thumbs up with his other hand.
"It was my negligence." Secretary Ma apologized to Boss Chen again.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Huaixiu quickly waved his hand, supported Ma Xianglan and said, "It's just right for Xiao Teng to stay in the hospital here. Doctor Li can give him acupuncture every day, and he will recover quickly."
Li Shizhen nodded and said, "The mercury in his body has been completely eliminated. He should not suffer from brain disease in the future."
"Thank God, Mr. Xie." Chen Huaixiu said as he pulled the child behind him and asked him to kowtow to Zhao Hao.
The child looked much better than last time, but he was still very shy and hid behind Chen Huaixiu, refusing to step forward.
"You're welcome." Zhao Hao looked at the sky and said anxiously, "Sister Huaixiu, something urgent has happened here. I...will come to see you this afternoon."
"Just go and do your work, sir. We'll have to stay in this courtyard for a while longer." Chen Huaixiu said sympathetically.
"Sister Ma, please stay here and keep Sister Huaixiu company for me." Zhao Hao instructed Secretary Ma.
"Yes, sir." Ma Xianglan secretly cursed her bad luck. She was a little afraid of this Boss Chen.
