…………………………………………
When you are in love, kissing is a game that Hou Weidong and Xiaojia enjoy. If you don’t kiss for a day, it’s like three autumns. Until now, the two have kissed less and less frequently. If you occasionally kiss once, you will feel something is wrong.
Xiaojia stood at the bathroom door, watched Hou Weidong take a hot shower, and joked: "What happened to you today? Did you do something sorry for me?"
Hou Weidong stood under his head, hot water rolled down, stroking his cold body, and after a while, his body began to feel warm. He said to Xiaojia: "I just went to the hospital. My mother's face was swollen, her hair fell a lot, and she felt unhappy."
Xiaojia knew Hou Weidong’s thoughts, so she restrained her smile and said, “The operation was very successful, and my mother recovered well. I heard from the doctor that there was this process, so don’t be too anxious.”
Hou Weidong rushed out for a while and put on his pajamas.
Xiaojia sat in front of the TV and watched the TV series. When Hou Weidong sat down, he leaned against him and said, "Honey, if you want to be more open, getting sick is a natural disaster. It is not subject to human will. Mom has you three filial children, so you should be able to figure it out."
"Mom is so sick, she is still thinking about my affairs. I was in the hospital just now, and her father meant to sell the Huofo coal mine and work with peace of mind. I want to ask for your opinion."
Xiaojia was used to living a life of having no worries about food and clothing, but instead took money seriously and said, "It's good, so it won't be too irrelevant." She said, "How much money do we have?"
Hou Weidong calculated in his mind and said, "We need to establish a concept that you and I are both leading cadres. It is illegal for leading cadres to do business. Now, except for wages, our deposits and assets are gifted by my mother. The specific amount is quite considerable." He secretly said a few words in Xiaojia's ear. Xiaojia's mouth was wide open and could not close for a long time.
He is a very careful person. After becoming a leader, most of the cash is stored separately and secretly, and people and money are absolutely separated. Although the money comes very cleanly, it is all earned from the market one cent and one cent, which is absolutely legal. It is just because his official position is getting bigger and bigger. This money has become a problem that is not a problem.
At this time, Hou Weidong fully demonstrated his rigor of studying the Fajin. In another absolutely safe place, he placed a gift book signed by Liu Guangfen.
Liu Guangfen's Huofo Coal Mine has formal industrial and commercial certificates, qualified tax registration, and various certificates from relevant departments. It is legally operated.
Xiaojia complained, "Our money is income from labor, why should we be so sneaky? It seems like a crime."
Hou Weidong said: "The good things in the world cannot be taken over by the family. If you want to enjoy life freely, you must disappear from the officialdom."
"Then let's quit."
"While I am young, I want to make a difference, otherwise I will be a wine, naan, rice bag in my life." With my broad vision and rising position, Hou Weidong had already developed a strong political awareness at this time. It was very different from the confusion when he first came out of the hut.
Xiaojia is rarely heavy, "Husband, this road is not easy to walk. The struggle is fierce and it is not subject to human will. You must be mentally prepared."
Hou Weidong stroked Xiaojia's back and said, "I want to realize my life value. When the road to officialdom reaches the end, I will be a happy rich man. This life is worth living."
The couple chatted for a while, and Hou Weidong went into the study to browse the news for a while. He drew a book and watched it casually.
When he got up in the morning, Hou Weidong drove to the hospital to see his mother.
Liu Guangfen was not in good spirits when he woke up in the morning. When he saw Hou Weidong and Xiaojia, he said, "Come on the hospital bed." With the quarrel of the shaking of the bed, Liu Guangfen sat up.
Hou Yonggui put a stand on the bed and placed the porridge, buns, salted eggs and pickles he brought on the bed, saying, "Old lady, what do you want to eat?"
Liu Guangfen shook his head and said, "I don't have an appetite, drink some porridge." She looked at the porridge bowl and said, "It's too dry, I want to eat fresh porridge."
Xiaojia sat beside the bed, helped Liu Guangfen peel salt eggs, then put them in the rice bowl, and said, "Mom, only drinking porridge is not nutritious, you have to eat something nutritious. You don't often say that people are iron rice and steel, and you don't eat two bowls of rice and are hungry."
The three of them were very happy to see Liu Guangfen drinking porridge and eating salted eggs. After Liu Guangfen finished the meal, he took a lot of energy and leaned on the bed and sniffed for a while.
Seeing his mother having breakfast so hard, Hou Weidong felt very upset.
When the doctor checked the room, Liu Guangfen was in a little better spirits. She remembered what she said yesterday and said, "Xiaojia is here, I'll tell you something."
Xiaojia sat in front of the bed and said, "Mom, I'll listen."
"My idea is to sell the Huofo coal mine, otherwise the mistress will be stabbed by someone. He is a department-level cadre and can lead by example. Moreover, the price of coal mines will rise high and will eventually fall one day. Now selling coal mines will be sold at a high price."
Xiaojia said: "Wei Dong told me yesterday, but I have no objection."
Liu Guangfen patted Xiaojia's back of the hand and said, "Xiaojia is the most sensible. I will feel at ease if you support the mistress, but you have to keep him tight."
This is a bit meaningful. Hou Weidong doesn't like to listen to it very much, and said, "My mother always thinks about it and is safe to recuperate. After she is discharged from the hospital, she has to take care of her child for my brother."
After chatting for a while, Liu Guangfen drove the two away and said, "It's getting late. You have to go to work. Don't stay with me for a long time. Work is important."
After leaving the hospital, Hou Weidong felt very depressed. After breaking up with Xiaojia, he drove back to the provincial government and pedestrians rushed past the window. He said to himself: "Life is both impermanent and helpless. No matter how much you are, no matter how much money you earn, you can't do anything. You can't keep your youth, and you can't let your mother recover as before."
When I arrived at the office, I made tea and reported to the work came in one after another like a lantern. Hou Weidong was very straightforward in his work, and the instructions he gave were very clear, which solved a problem in just a few words.
In less than an hour, the specific work throughout the day was basically solved.
The working hours of leading cadres are divided into passive working hours and active working hours. The more passive working hours, the lower the leadership efficiency. vice versa. Hou Weidong will try to concentrate passive working hours within an hour after going to work in the morning. After the subordinates form habits, the overall work efficiency will be greatly improved.
After ten o'clock in the morning, fewer people report on work, and these hours belong to Hou Weidong's active working hours.
Hou Weidong thought about it in the office for a while, closed the door, and called Li Jing.
The ringtone rang for a while. Li Jing answered the phone, and her voice was a little lazy. She said, "Wei Dong, is there anything wrong?"
"Are you in Hong Kong, the United States or Lingxi?"
"I was woken up by you in my sleep, and it must be on the other side of the ocean." Li Jing glanced at the little clown Chou who was sleeping beside her and said, "You almost woke up your son. The little clown Chou looks more and more like you, with his nose and mouth, no different from you."
As a man, Hou Weidong is deeply concerned about his son who is far away from home.
As a department-level leader of the Lingxi Provincial Government, Hou Weidong had to bury all his feelings deep in his heart.
After asking about the recent situation and exchanging greetings, Hou Weidong said: "I remember some time ago, Seiko Group wanted to buy a coal mine. Do you still have this plan now?"
"You asked me to buy a coal mine before. I didn't listen to you, but I missed a big market. Now the price of coal mines is already very high. There are risks when buying it."
"Huofo coal mine has rich resources and good facilities, and it is worthy of acquisition by the Jingko Group."
Li Jing was really surprised, "Do you want to sell Huofo coal mine? Now the coal price is so high, it's a pity to sell it."
Hou Weidong joked and said, "Sell it to you. I am fearless. Anyway, the meat is rotten and always in the pot."
Li Jing's sixth sense was quite developed. When he heard Hou Weidong's voice, he always asked, "Weidong, have you encountered something? Can you tell me?"
When Li Jing learned that Liu Guangfen had cancer, he was a little surprised and said, "Is the surgery successful? You should contact me. When you come to Hong Kong or the United States, the medical conditions are better than those in the mainland."
"The main reason is that my mother is unwilling to leave Lingxi, and she hopes that several children will be around."
"In terms of legal relations, I have always been working with my aunt, who is the major shareholder of Seiko Group. My aunt is sick, so I should visit her. I have to talk about some things in detail with my aunt."
Hou Weidong threw out another bomb and said, "I want to deal with the shares of Seiko Group, too."
Li Jing said: "Your shares are very considerable now, and Seiko Group has a good growth potential, so why bother with it?"
"I have never fulfilled my duty as a father and I feel guilty."
"Don't say that, the two little guys are gifts given to me by God. I have taken refuge in Buddhism in Hong Kong and bless our whole family with peace every day."
Hou Weidong was a little surprised and said, "Have you taken refuge in Buddhism?"
"I am a lay disciple. I usually chant Buddha's name, burn incense when I have time, and seek psychological peace."
Thinking of the common things that happened when he first met Li Jing, Hou Weidong was a little lost. He quickly came to his senses and said, "There is one thing I want to discuss with you. I want to transfer the shares of Seiko Group to Joker Chou and Xiao Qiao Chou. How to handle the procedures, I will ask the group's Fajin consultant to do it."
Li Jing was silent for a while and said, "This is a big sum, you have to think about it."
"I can't bear to give up the gift my father gave to my son."
"You don't have to do this, they are not short of money."
“For me, doing this makes sense and reassures me.”
Li Jing said: "I respect your opinion. No matter what, this share belongs to you father and son."
After making this call, a piece of stone that had been pressed against Hou Weidong's heart was moved away. He finally fulfilled his meager duties for the clown and ugly brothers. Although money cannot replace fatherly love, it is his sincerity after all.
As the matter of Seiko Group Co., Ltd. involves Li Jing, Hou Weidong has always kept this matter as a secret in his heart, and Xiaojia does not know. The dividends of Seiko Group have not been important in the past stone yard and later Huofo Coal Mine.
After Hou Weidong became the secretary of Chengjin County Party Committee, his political consciousness had awakened. When he reached the position of deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, his mind was at least in Lingxi. The higher his official position, the more pressure the shares of Huofo Coal Mine and the Seiko Group would be. He could not have both fish and bear's paws. Now it is time to make a choice.
Due to his mother's illness, he decisively made a major choice in his life.
