Chapter 1179: Discharge
Chapter 1179: Discharge
Two days later.
Morning.
Mei He City. Hospital compound/
A nurse is pushing Dong Xuebing in his wheelchair around the hospital garden. He was still covered in bandages, but the bandages were much lesser than two days ago. His patient gown covered most of the bandages, and he looked fatter than before.
“Mayor Dong, are you feeling better?”
“I am feeling better now, but my wounds are itchy.”
“It’s normal. It is itchy because the wounds are healing.”
“I think I can move my legs. Can you help me up and let me take a few steps?”
“No! Your legs are fractured, and you cannot move them for the next few months.”
“My body is strong, and I don’t need a few months to heal. Look, I can lift my right arm now.”
“No! Moving a bit is fine, but your injuries will worsen if you put strength into it.”
“All right…. Haha…. I was joking with you. It’s more comfortable sitting in a wheelchair. I don’t need to walk with you pushing me. Push me around the garden again.”
“You kept ordering me around.”
“Haha…. Thank you for taking care of me these two days.”
“No problem. Hehe…. You become an Executive Deputy County Mayor at such a young age. I must suck up to you. Maybe I might need your help in the future.”
“Sure. But I need to remind you. I am the City’s number one enemy now. Most people are trying to get away from me. You might be implicated if you go near me.”
“Hehe…. I am not scared. Who will find trouble with a small nurse like me?”
A black Land Rover entered the hospital’s compound and stopped before the building.
Dong Xuebing asked the nurse to push him over. Beijing 6666. This is his car.
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei got out. They saw Dong Xuebing and walked over.
“Mayor Dong.”
“Why have you all not returned?”
“Not yet. Mayor Jiang is also in the City.”
“Didn’t she say she is going back?”
“Only Party Secretary Meng and Secretary Yao returned. Mayor Jiang's meeting with the City yesterday ended at night. That’s why she remained here. We stayed because we wanted to accompany you.”
“Thank you.” Dong Xuebing looked at them. “Oh, did we receive the money?”
Yan Yizhi smiled. “Yes.”
“How much?”
“46 million RMB.”
“Great.”
“Secretary Meng and Mayor Jiang said this is all your credit.”
“Haha…. This is everyone’s effort and not mine alone.”
“You are modest. We might not even get 10 million RMB without you.”
“All right. Let’s not talk about this. We've gotten the fund, and let’s prepare to return.”
“Ok. We will inform the hospital to arrange an ambulance to send you.”
“No need. We can go back in our car.”
Upstairs.
Single ward.
Yan Yizhi and Chen Xiaomei helped Dong Xuebing pack his belongings.
The hospital might have received instructions from the City. When they heard Dong Xuebing ask to be discharged, they immediately approved and settled the paperwork. They offered to send him back in an ambulance but were rejected by him. The Third People’s Hospital conducted a complete body checkup to prevent his injuries from worsening on his way back. Dong Xuebing is everyone’s ‘treasure’ in the City. If Xin Hua News Agency reported this incident, the City leaders and many others might be fired.
The checkup result is out.
Dong Xuebing’s injuries have stabilized, and he needs to rest for a few months.
Noon.
After lunch.
“Old Yan, are you done?”
“Yes. I had packed everything.”
“Thank you. Shall we go?”
“Ok. Please get off the bed slowly.”
The door opened when they were about to leave.
It is Party Secretary Meng’s secretary, Zhang Feng. He arrived this morning to settle some issues with the City and send Dong Xuebing back to the County. This was Meng Rui’s instruction. Dong Xuebing had done an excellent job for the County, and Meng Rui could not fetch him from the hospital. So, he sent his secretary. A few city leaders and hospital leaders were there to send him off.
“Mayor Dong.” That leader said.
“Yes.” Dong Xuebing nodded.
“I heard you are returning, and the Leaders ordered us to send you.”
“Oh, thank you. Thanks to the City leaders for their concern.”
“No problem, as long as you are fine.”
“I am feeling better now. Thank you, everyone. Please go back. I know you all are busy, and this is making me feel bad.”
“Haha…. Let us walk you out.”
Chen Xiaomei pushed Dong Xuebing out of the ward in a wheelchair, and Yan Yizhi and Zhang Feng followed behind.
About twenty people followed them. Those who did not know what happened might think Dong Xuebing is a Central Government top leader. Even the Provincial Government leader does not have so many people sending him out during his discharge from the hospital. But those who knew what happened will know these people can’t wait for Dong Xuebing to leave. This guy might cause more trouble for the City. They were here to ensure Dong Xuebing had left the City.
This guy is a ‘bomb,’ and he is finally leaving.
The City’s representative bid Dong Xuebing goodbye and wished him a safe journey. In his heart, he was cursing and wishing never to see him again.
This guy’s mouth is wicked and doesn’t follow the rules.
He would accuse and use his injuries to threaten others. He even dares to take advantage of the City Government.
Although these people are not high-ranking leaders in the City, they have worked in the government for more than ten years. They had met many people but never met a hooligan government leader like Dong Xuebing.
