Chapter 557 Almost quit

Chen Qi decided to travel to Guangzhou after New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year.

Why go to Guangzhou? Because the weather here is warm and not as cold as in Yuezhong.

Moreover, Guangzhou is one of the first open cities in the south, with a strong awareness of tourism services, complete supporting facilities, many delicious foods, and convenient transportation. It only takes a few hours to fly there from West Lake City.

As for why you went to Guangzhou instead of the warmer Sanya?

In 1989, Nanhai Province was established within a few months, and Sanya was a poor and backward small fishing village. It didn't even have an airport. It was too inconvenient to be a place of exile in ancient times.

Chen Qi is planning to take his wife, children, brothers and sisters with him, not for an adventure.

I heard that the whole family can go on a trip, which is a kind of exciting thing for the whole family. The word travel is really a luxury that Chinese people who have just had a full meal can't imagine.

The Chen family is not short of money, but the Chen family is busy with their own work, and they are only free during the Chinese New Year throughout the year.

The eldest sister is busy collecting rent, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan are busy with work, Chen Shu and Chen Hua are busy going to college, and even the twins have to go to kindergarten. The only one in the family is Mao Xiaolian, but she is a house girl and basically refuses. The kind of going out.

On New Year's Eve, the whole family finished the New Year's Eve dinner and got together to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is quite interesting,

For example, Zhao Lirong and Hou Yaowen co-performed the skit "A Day of the Hero's Mother", and the line "Smashing the Sima Tank" became a brainwashing line.

And Song Dandan also made her debut at the Spring Festival Gala with the skit "The Blind Date of the Lazy Man", "My name is Wei Shufen, female, 29 years old, and so far unmarried."

This famous line is still the Shandong dialect that Ni Ping taught her to speak.

Wei Wei sang "Dedication of Love" affectionately, and then this song became a "song for donations". Anyway, as soon as Chen Qi heard this song, he knew that he should pay again.

While the whole family was enjoying the Spring Festival Gala, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Chen Qi was still a little strange. Looking at the alarm clock on the wall, it was already 11:00 p.m., and the Chinese New Year was about to strike. Who came so late?

He can't be blamed for being vigilant. Anyway, in the past few days during the Chinese New Year, Chen Qi has turned down too many subordinates who came to their home with gifts to pay New Year's greetings.

Don't think about it, what they are carrying is definitely not fanpin, but Dean Chen is a person with principles, and if he asks for money, he takes money from foreigners. In China, he must ensure that he is innocent.

"Who? It's so late."

"Hello, Dean Chen, I'm Lao Qin, who is on duty. Just now, comrades from the Foreign Affairs Office asked you for urgent matters, so I came to the leader's house."

As soon as Chen Qi heard that it was Qin Xiaobo, he knew that it must be an official business, not a gift, because it is impossible for the general on duty to leave his post for non-emergency situations.

As soon as the door opened, there were three or four strangers standing outside the door. They looked like cadres, not bad guys.

In fact, Chen Qi is not afraid of bad guys. He has an arsenal of rebels in Africa. Except for planes and tanks, there is no shortage of other types of weapons, which can be brought out at any time.

"Old Qin, what's going on here? What is the Foreign Affairs Office looking for from me? Go into the house, it's quite cold outside."

Several people entered the room, Qin Xiaobo first greeted the Chen family in the room, and then introduced:

"President Chen, these people are from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office. They just rushed to our hospital from the provincial capital, and I brought them here."

"Provincial Foreign Affairs Office?"

When Lan Lijuan heard that someone from the province was coming, she knew that the matter must be serious, so she asked her family members who were surrounded by the TV to go upstairs to watch TV together.

The middle-aged man headed by was also very polite, and took out his work ID:

"Hello, Dean Chen, I am Dong Chenghe from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, and these are my colleagues. We came from the province this time to inform you about an urgent foreign affairs task. I hope you can cooperate."

The Foreign Affairs Office is engaged in foreign affairs, and all the people it receives are foreigners. It will be less than a stroke of Chen Qi, a member of the health system, in eight lifetimes.

"Hello, hello, what can I do?"

Section Chief Dong took out a notice and handed it to Chen Qi:

"It's like this. The relevant state department has just issued a notice that Mr. Rupert, the chairman of Fox Corporation from the United States, will fly directly from the United States to our West Lake City tomorrow to come to your Yuezhong City People's Hospital for medical treatment.

Relevant national departments attach great importance to the arrival of Mr. Rupert. This chairman is very important in the American media industry. Our country is seeking cooperation with him, so the superior requires us to treat him at all costs. "

Chen Qi was a little strange: "Wait, wait."

"Director Dong, do you mean that a rich man from the United States will come to our hospital for treatment tomorrow? Or did you fly over from the United States?"

"It's like this, because the other party came very suddenly, so we came to inform you as soon as we received the notice. It is estimated that Chairman Rupert's plane is already on his way to China by this time."

Chen Qi is a little upset:

"Director Dong, you also know that it's time for a family reunion during the Chinese New Year, and my family and I will travel to Guangzhou tomorrow. The air tickets are already bought. Do you know how difficult it is to buy air tickets? If American guests need Seek medical attention, maybe he can wait a few days."

In fact, Chen Qi has already guessed which **** it is, it should be the Hollywood tycoon with hemophilia mentioned by Professor Bradrick a few days ago.

But he doesn't think that when the Americans come, he will cancel his vacation and serve the capitalist wholeheartedly.

The point is that he hates being forced to do something, especially the tone of Director Dong's speech, and suddenly his rebellious psychology comes up again.

Section Chief Dong was startled when he heard this.

It was the first time that he saw a top rich man from the United States come to China for medical treatment, which surprised him enough, and what surprised him even more was that the doctor Chen in front of him didn't want to receive him.

This world is really crazy.

Changed to another Huaguo doctor, I guess they are all happy and crazy at this time, they come here to seek medical treatment under the name of "flying", isn't this the best opportunity to make a name for themselves.

In Huaguo, foreign affairs tasks are the most important thing, and Chen Qi cannot be willful.

"Listen to me, Comrade Chen Qi, you must pay attention to this matter, because Chairman Rupert is very influential in the United States. He not only owns a film company, but also TV stations, newspapers, etc. It is very important for our country's foreign propaganda work.

Not to mention anything else, now that you are a member of D and a cadre, then you must obey the instructions of your superiors. Everything is based on the interests of the country. You must serve this friend of the United States well. This is not that we are asking you for instructions, but an order you. "

Director Dong has Shang Fang's sword, and he was very anxious when he heard Chen Qi's refusal, and the evidence he spoke became serious.

Chen Qi was about to say something, when suddenly the phone rang at home.

"Hi, I'm Chen Qi... oh...it's Uncle Xu...Yes, Director Dong is at my house now...Is that so...Oh, that's it...Yes, yes...New Year is coming, I wish you an old New Year's greetings ...Okay, Xiaowei is welcome to come and play at home anytime, goodbye..."

The call was made by leader Xu from the province.

The second-in-command personally called to talk about Fox boss Rupert.

It is estimated that Leader Xu was also afraid that Chen Qi would make trouble, so he specially called to give some advice.

Then what else to say? If you can't resist, you can only enjoy it.

Chen Qi thought about what Professor Bradrick once said, this Hollywood tycoon said that there would be a huge reward.

"Okay, Director Dong, I promise to complete the task."

In fact, Director Dong has just heard that the call is from the second in command in the province, and from the tone of the young dean on the phone, it is obvious that the two have a very close personal relationship.

This made Director Dong feel his heart pounding. Just now he thought he came here with Shang Fang's sword, and he was not polite to Chen Qi at all.

After a long time, there was such a great **** behind the young dean. Director Dong felt 120,000 regrets in his heart, so his attitude softened immediately:

"This, Dean Chen, there is no way, I am also following orders, please bear with me, bear with me."

After the guests left, Chen Qi went back upstairs, looking at the whole family who were excitedly packing their luggage, he couldn't bear to say:

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I have received an urgent task, and tomorrow there will be an American guy coming to our hospital for treatment, so we can't go to Guangzhou tomorrow."

ah? ~~~

Chen Shu and Chen Hua were obviously very disappointed. They had been looking forward to this long-distance winter vacation for a long time.

On the contrary, it doesn't matter if the two twins are there, anyway, they will play wherever they go, so it's easier to coax.

Lan Lijuan was a little strange: "Why did an American come here? Besides, it's Chinese New Year..."

The silly elder sister was also a little dissatisfied: "That is to say, it's the Chinese New Year. Why don't they stay at home well? Don't Americans even have to be guests during the Chinese New Year?"

Chen Qi laughed loudly after hearing this, and the previous depression was swept away:

"Sister, people in the United States celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day. The Spring Festival is only celebrated in Huaguo and surrounding areas, so we celebrate the New Year, but it is an ordinary February."

Chen Shu and Chen Hua next to each other also laughed when they heard this.

For a while, No. 77 Lu Xun Road was full of laughter.

Early the next morning, the first day of the first lunar month.

There are firecrackers everywhere in Yuezhong City. There is no smoking ban this year, and the atmosphere of the New Year is still very strong.

Chen Qi ran into the hospital stepping on the snow. At this time, the People's Hospital, which is usually crowded with people, was also very quiet. Except for the emergency department, all other outpatient clinics were closed.

There are not many patients in the inpatient department. Except for patients who are seriously ill or who have traveled too far, almost all local patients have gone home.

Old Guo arrived earlier than Chen Qi, he also received a notice last night, and came here after the new year.

Compared to Chen Qi's little depression, Lao Guo is also full of happiness:

"Hey, did you hear that the person who came to our hospital for treatment today is said to be a super rich man in the United States. He even owns TV stations, newspapers, and even movie theaters. Hey, the United States is really open."

Chen Qi curled his lips: "The cinema doesn't belong to his family, they only make movies, but if you are rich, you are really rich."

"Yo, how rich are you?"

"It is said that his personal assets exceed 10 billion U.S. dollars. If his family property is included, it is at least 30 billion or more."

In 1989, the technology industry was not fully developed, and the rich were mainly concentrated in traditional businesses, such as energy, commerce, entertainment and so on.

Of course, the real invisible rich are still concentrated in the Wall Street capital market, but they are all private.

"Damn, big dog, with so much money, it's more than our country's foreign exchange reserves. The real wealth is incomparable. No wonder the superiors attach so much importance to it. But it's a bit strange. I only heard that it was the first time that I went to the United States for medical treatment. I heard that people from the United States came to China to treat their illnesses."

By the end of 1988, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only more than 3 billion US dollars. A rich man could beat up a country.

Chen Qi thought that if he didn't come, he couldn't do it. This POEM technique can only be done by him, a reborn person. There is no other way but to beg him.

"Uncle Guo, where is this ward? You also know that the conditions in our ward are too poor. This American has hemophilia. It is definitely a delicate sweet-scented osmanthus. If it gets infected and something goes wrong, shall we count it? Missing the country?"

"Don't be scared, you unlucky child, the ward can be arranged in the cadre bed on the top floor of the inpatient department."

The characteristics of each hospital will definitely reserve some cadre wards for leaders to have a good rest environment when they are sick. Leaders can only serve the people better if they take care of their health.

"Yes, the cadre ward is a good choice."

After discussing with each other, the two waited until the afternoon, and finally a convoy arrived.

A group of people from the government came here to receive the whole process, but the two hosts, Chen Qi and Guo Yuanhang, were squeezed out instead.

The convoy is very large, and there is an ambulance in the middle that is particularly obvious. It is said that this ambulance was specially dispatched from Shanghai, and it is the most advanced emergency vehicle in China.

As soon as the convoy stopped, a young white man got out of the car.

This Caucasian guy speaks fluent Chinese. He took out a thick dozen red envelopes from his bag as soon as he got off the bus, and handed one to everyone:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I asked you to work overtime during the Chinese New Year. This is a little thought from our boss. Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!"

The staff who received the red envelopes were all cheerful. It stands to reason that everyone would dare not take them, but this is not Chinese New Year, and the big leaders next to them also turned a blind eye.

Even Chen Qi also received a red envelope, and it is estimated that Lao Mei also regarded it as an ordinary worker.

Chen Qi quietly opened it to take a look, a piece of 100 US dollars in cash, good guy, very generous, go to the bank to exchange currency and get back at least 400 yuan.

No wonder everyone laughed so exaggeratedly after receiving the red envelope, and their attitude became as friendly as possible, instead of complaining like before.

If you have money, you are an uncle.

Chen Qi didn't dislike it either. He directly stuffed the red envelope into his pocket, and even took two pictures. This way, he could receive $100. How could it be such a good thing to take advantage of?

However, this small act of red envelope instantly made Chen Qi have a good impression of this rich man in the United States.

At least they respect Chinese people and laborers.
