Chapter 854: Plan ahead (Part 2)

Usually, when Xiaojia goes out to play cards, Hou Weidong can tolerate it. At this time, Xiaojia is sick, and Xiaojia can't contact him no matter what, which makes him feel a little angry.

Hou Weidong was walking around outside the door for a while. At this time, Xiaojia's phone was turned off. No matter how angry she was, Xiaojia couldn't know. Even though Xiaojia didn't know that she was angry, what's the point of being angry?

He quickly figured it out, took a few deep breaths in the aisle to calm himself down, and then returned to the bedside.

Chen Qingrong sat next to Xiao Jian, looking at Xiao Jian in a blink of an eye.

Hou Weidong sat on the other side of the bed, also looked at Xiao Jian, and from time to time reached out to touch Xiao Niu Niu's forehead. He and Chen Qingrong sat on both sides of the bed. Both of them looked at Xiao Jian, face to face, but there was nothing to say.

At three o'clock in the morning, the nurse came to check twice. At this time, Xiao Niu Niu's fever had completely subsided and she was sleeping very quietly.

Hou Weidong was very tired, and Chen Qingrong opposite him was also tired. At nearly four o'clock, Hou Weidong yawned a few times, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Mom, go and rest, I'm here to watch my little boy."

Since Xiaojia has not been home, Chen Qingrong's anger was written on her face, saying, "You have to go to work tomorrow, go back to sleep first, I'll stay here, my son's grandfather will come to change me in the morning." Speaking of this, she still couldn't help but complain, "Didn't you call Zhang Xiaojia? Where did she go? I won't come back so late? Why don't you care about it?"

Hou Weidong said vaguely: "There is something to do with her unit. The phone probably has no electricity."

Chen Qingrong said: "Even if there is something wrong, you have to call your home."

Hou Weidong raised his wrist and said, "It's three o'clock in the morning. It's not a good time to call at this time."

At four o'clock, Hou Weidong was very sleepy. He walked out of the door with his cell phone and called Zhang Xiaojia. He was still turned off. Although he wanted to make himself angry, he still had the urge to throw his cell phone. Then he thought that Zhang Xiaojia had no other hobbies except for playing mahjong. He occasionally didn't come back outside. It was no big deal.

When he returned to the ward, Hou Weidong saw Chen Qingrong drowsy and said, "Mom, the car is outside. Go and sleep for a while."

Chen Qingrong shook her head and said, "I'm looking at Xiao Jian. You go back to sleep and you have to go to work tomorrow."

When he sat down until five o'clock in the morning, Hou Weidong saw that Chen Qingrong was really unwilling to go home, so he said, "Mom, you are here, I'll go to the car to sleep. I'll change you for an hour, and then you go home to sleep."

Chen Qingrong didn't sleep all night. Her face turned pale. She couldn't help but yawn and said, "Go to sleep. Your father is going to bring breakfast to Xiao Jian in the morning, so I'll go back to rest, so don't worry." She touched Xiao Jian's forehead and said, "The fever has subsided. This time I have a tendon, and I'm afraid of cramps when I have a fever in the future. This is what I worry about the most."

Hearing this, Hou Weidong felt tight. His daughter was sick, and it was in her daughter's body, and it hurt her parents' hearts.

After leaving the ward, Hou Weidong came to the car, opened the door, placed the seat flat, and went to sleep in the car.

At six o'clock in the morning, I called my home, but no one answered. I called Xiaojia again, but it was still turned off.

I couldn't sleep well in the car and was confused for a while. It was already dawn. There were people coming and going outside the car, which was very noisy. Hou Weidong came out of the car and went to the ward. Xiao Niu Niu was still asleep, while Chen Qingrong lay on the bed to rest. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and saw that it was Hou Weidong, and said, "Little boy had a fever just now, but now he has gone. Is the baby's mother back?"

After being asked the same question by his mother-in-law one after another, Hou Weidong could only fool him and said, "Her phone should be out of power. I'll contact her later."

Chen Qingrong said angrily: "Where is a mom like this?"

Seeing that Xiao Niu Niu had subsided, Hou Weidong came to his mother Liu Guangfen's ward.

When Liu Guangfen heard that Xiao Jian was sick and was hospitalized, he was anxious and said, "Little Jian has fever and cramps? How did you take care of the baby?"

Hou Weidong hurriedly said, "It's Xiaojia's parents who are taking care of their children. When you arrive in the ward, don't talk nonsense, so that others will not be unhappy."

Liu Guangfen turned over and got out of bed and said, "Your mother has lived this age. Do you still understand these things? I know what to say and what not to say."

Hou Weidong said again: "Xiaojia played cards with Mengning last night and didn't come back. You arrived at the ward. Don't mention Xiaojia's incident. Her mother is unhappy about this."

Liu Guangfen turned his head and looked at Hou Weidong and said, "Xiaojia didn't come back last night, why didn't she call?"

"I guess the phone is out of power. Meng Ning is the daughter of Meng Haofang, former secretary of the provincial party committee, and has a good relationship with Xiaojia."

When she heard that she was playing cards with Meng Haofang's daughter, Liu Guangfen stopped talking. Seeing Hou Weidong's face full of fatigue, she said, "I'll go see my granddaughter. Didn't you sleep last night?"

Hou Weidong said: "I was obsessed with the car for a while."

Liu Guangfen said: "I have an extra bed here, you can sleep for a while."

"Forget it, I can't sleep now. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Liu Guangfen has been staying in the hospital for a long time, and along the way, familiar doctors and nurses greet each other. Hou Weidong followed her mother and saw that she was in good spirits, she felt a little relieved.

After taking his mother to Xiao Jian's ward, Hou Weidong left the hospital and drove back to the crescent building. After entering the house, he saw that the house was empty and felt a little angry, and he thought to himself: "Even if Xiao Jia's mobile phone is out of power, you can borrow someone else's cell phone to call."

After taking a shower, drinking milk, and lying in the bed for a while, Hou Weidong began to worry about Xiaojia's safety again, and his mood became a little heavy.

It was about to go to work hours and was about to go out when the phone rang. When Hou Weidong saw that there was a strange phone on his phone, he realized that Shiyou was Xiaojia calling back.

When I answered the phone, Xiaojia's voice came from the phone, "Husband, I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery yesterday, and I didn't call you."

When Hou Weidong heard that Xiaojia was safe and sound, his anger had passed and his resentment had disappeared. He said calmly: "Your cell phone is out of battery, you can borrow someone else's cell phone to call, and you don't return all night. It's so worried about your family."

Xiaojia knew that there was something wrong, and her attitude was gentle and said, "Oh, I'm really sorry. Meng Ning asked me to play cards. There were two sisters from Beijing who played cards and chatted. Everyone made an appointment at the card table. They were not allowed to call my husband. My phone was out of power, and there was no way to call in the bathroom."

"I guess it was Mengning who made an appointment to play cards."

"I also heard a lot of insider news on the card table. I will tell you in detail when I get home." Xiaojia couldn't help but gossip: "Xiong Dawei wants to be the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and also serve as the secretary of the Lingxi Municipal Party Committee."

When Hou Weidong heard Xiaojia talk about the inside story, he was very alert and said, "Is anyone around? Let's talk about these words when I go home."

Xiaojia said: "No one, let me say another thing, Zhu Jianguo's relationship with Xiong is very subtle, you have to pay attention."

"Stop talking, I understand." Hou Weidong said again, "You should take a break quickly. Then call your mother. She didn't go home last night and didn't call. You must find a reason. Let's unify it. The reason I said was that the unit had something to do temporarily and was in a meeting."

Xiaojia heard the wrong voice and said, "Have my mother arrived home? How did she know that I didn't go home?"

Hou Weidong then told the story. Xiaojia heard Xiao Jian’s cramps. She was very anxious and said, “I’ll hurry to the hospital.”

Hou Weidong said: "Xiao Niu Niu is fine. You'd better not go to the hospital, so that your mother won't blame you. Think of the reason first before going to see your mother."

Xiaojia loved her daughter the most and was anxious and said, "I just said that my phone was not powered. The company held a meeting at twelve o'clock. It was late, so I didn't call back."

"Okay, you go and see your daughter. I won't go."

Outside the community, Yan Chunping and Lao Geng had arrived. When Hou Weidong went downstairs, Yan Chunping quickly took over his bag and said, "Secretary-General, I went online yesterday. Now the Internet is full of news about Liu Gang, and there are even some pictures of the time of death. The online posts are scolding the municipal government, the procuratorate, and the director of the Land and Resources Bureau. There are at least tens of thousands of posts on this post."

When Hou Weidong came to the office, he immediately opened the website and entered the words Maoyun, and a post with Maoyun and Liu Gang's content appeared immediately. The main text of the post was mostly concealed, but the comments below were all varied, and the most were curses. Most people did not read the content of the post carefully at all, and they cursed, from officials to system and then to magical country.

Hou Weidong carefully read most of the comments and turned off the computer. At this time, he was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Maoyun Municipal Party Committee, but he has not taken office now and is not in his position to do so. This matter was handled by the incumbent mayor secretary Duan Yiyong and other leaders.

Hou Weidong talked with the second director Yuan Zhentian about some things he had prepared to do but had not completed in his position as deputy secretary-general. At 10 o'clock, Yuan Zhentian was still unsatisfied and the talks were not reduced.

For Yuan Zhentian, he was quite reluctant to let the young deputy secretary-general go. He served two deputy secretary-generals. Compared with the previous two deputy secretary-generals, Hou Weidong was the least arrogant, had the strongest work ability, and the most pragmatic work style. In a word, it was relatively pleasant to work under the leadership of Hou Weidong.

Yuan Zhentian had just turned the topic from work to where he went. Yan Chunping came to the door and knocked on the door lightly.

"Secretary Hou, two deputy ministers came to the Propaganda Department of Maoyun Municipal Party Committee and said they wanted to see you." Yan Chunping was very clever. He knew about Liu Gang and was unwilling to cause trouble for Hou Weidong, so he left the two ministers in the office.

Hou Weidong understood why Maoyun’s Propaganda Department came, but the Propaganda Department really couldn’t find it on his head. He thought for a moment and said to Yuan Zhentian: “Let’s wait for a moment on the topic, I will first receive Maoyun’s comrades.” He said to Yan Chunping: “Please ask the two comrades Maoyun to come.”

Yuan Zhentian took advantage of Yan Chunping's trip and called someone and quickly said, "Secretary-General, I still have someone to report to you."

Hou Weidong nodded and said, "Look for time in the afternoon."

Yan Chunping took the two into the office, and one of the older ones walked quickly to Hou Weidong and said, "Mayor Hou, I am Xiao Liu of Maoyun Propaganda Department. I have something to report to you."

Xiao Liu is actually not young. Based on Hou Weidong's observation, he is at least forty years old.

Hou Weidong shook hands with "Xiao Liu" and said, "Are you Vice Minister Liu?"
