Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui and Zi Lan welcomed Qiao Zhenhua and his wife into the house. Xia Guilan took Xiaochen from Zi Lan with great delight, and was extremely fond of him:

"Xiaochen, we haven't seen each other for a few days, do you still recognize my aunt?

Oh my, when will our Xiaochen start to call me auntie? "

"Aunt, I'm Xiaojin, I'm here."

"Aunt, I'm Xiaoyi."

The twins looked at Xia Guilan with a smile and greeted her seriously.

Zi Lan smiled and said, "Xiao Jin and Xiao Yi, you can call me grandpa."

"Hello, uncle." The twins shouted loudly in unison.

Qiao Zhenhua waved his hands affectionately to the two children: "Little Jin and Little Yi, be good, play with your aunt, while your uncle talks to your dad."

Xia Guilan waved at Qiao Zhenhua: "If you want to talk to Xiaoshui, hurry up. I heard Zilan say that he didn't sleep all night. Don't delay his rest."

She turned to Ye Tianshui again: "Xiaoshui, looking at properties is our own business, you can decide whenever you want.

Don't listen to your uncle's nagging, just go to sleep after he says a few words."

Xia Guilan carried the twins Xiaochen and Zilan to the lotus pond. The sunlight was blocked by the pine and cypress trees, and the cool breeze felt very comfortable on their bodies.

"Zilan, your lotus pond is really beautiful. From the time the lotus leaves grow green to the time they bloom and the time the lotus flowers wither and die, there are several months in between. It is a pleasure to look at it from inside this yard."

Xia Guilan stood beside the lotus pond, her eyes full of smiles.

Ye Tianshui took Qiao Zhenhua to his study room, where the air conditioner was on, and sat down.

Chen Jun made some tea and brought it in: "Sir, Secretary Qiao, have some tea."

Qiao Zhenhua nodded politely: "Thank you.

Xiao Chen, you didn't sleep all night either, right? We don't have anything to do here. I'll just talk to your master for a few words and then I'll go back. Go and get some rest."

Ye Tianshui looked at Chen Jun and said, "Ajun, go to sleep. Let the people below take turns to rest and pay attention to the situation in the hospital.

Tell them to tell me immediately if there is any news coming from there."

After Chen Jun left, Ye Tianshui asked Qiao Zhenhua: "Uncle, are you and aunt here to talk to me about anything else?"

Qiao Zhenhua shook his head: "It's nothing important, Zi Lan said on the phone. You decided to cancel the meeting with the city leaders.

As you know, the city has made a lot of preparations and wants to have an in-depth exchange with you.

Mainly, I want to test your background and see if you can bring some more investment projects to the municipal government.

I'm not sure if you're canceling the meetup because of Shen Shengli's incident? Or are you not planning to meet them anymore?

In addition, Deputy Mayor He Longhua came to see me and mentioned the relationship between you and him.

Also, he told me that you are planning to come to Pingcheng to invest in a hospital and a school.

I want to make sure whether it was your instruction that he took the initiative to mention these things to me?

I need to know your attitude so that I can decide how to deal with these people and things."

Ye Tianshui suddenly realized that the information that Qiao Zhenhua wanted to know most was probably that He Longhua had contacted him.

Almost all government departments form their own systems. He Longhua is from the education and health system and belongs to the leadership team of the municipal government.

Normally, there are not many opportunities to meet with Qiao Zhenhua’s municipal party committee leadership team.

Qiao Zhenhua has been growing and rising slowly within the municipal party committee system.

He Longhua had just been promoted from county magistrate, and they were not familiar with each other.

Now that He Longhua knew the relationship between Qiao Zhenhua and Ye Tianshui, he took the initiative to contact them. Out of caution, Qiao Zhenhua came to Ye Tianshui to confirm.

In addition to the "people", there is also the "matters" of investing in hospitals and schools.

Ye Tianshui understood Qiao Zhenhua's purpose, so he naturally did not hide it:

“Uncle, I didn’t think the meeting with the city leaders was meaningful in the first place.

There are designated people to be responsible for and coordinate all matters. It has not yet been determined which department I will work in after returning to Beijing.

I will gradually hand over the business matters to Zilan.

So, you can say hello to the city leaders and tell them that you are busy and cancel the meeting.

If there is something that I must go out to solve, you and Deputy Mayor He will contact me in the future."

Now that He Longhua has been mentioned, Qiao Zhenhua should understand it.

But Ye Tianshui still answered Qiao Zhenhua's question carefully:

“Deputy Mayor He and I have only met twice, but we had a very pleasant conversation.

He said that I was planning to come to Pingcheng to invest in hospitals and schools. This was true, but when would I make these investments? I was not sure yet.

It mainly depends on the country's development policies and the local policies formulated by the Pingcheng Municipal Government in the future.

Uncle, I like to go with the flow in everything I do, so that I can get twice the result with half the effort.

Higher efficiency and profitability.

For now, we just need to complete the hotel and the tunnel boring machine smoothly."

After listening to Ye Tianshui's words, Qiao Zhenhua realized that the purpose of his visit had been achieved.

After taking a few sips of tea, he stood up and said apologetically:

"Xiao Shui, now that you put it like that, I know how to deal with it. Okay, I should go now.

You didn't sleep all night, so we shouldn't have disturbed you. One reason is that your aunt was thinking about Zilan and the children. After coming to Pingcheng, she must want to spend more time with them.

These things in my mind also need to clarify your true thoughts.

Go and have some rest. When you are free, we can meet in private."

Ye Tianshui did not try to persuade him to stay. It was not that he could not endure it. After all, he dozed off and took a nap while sitting at the door of the hospital's operating room.

It's just that there is no need for that.

"Uncle, are you going back to work? Do you want to stay with aunt and have dinner before leaving?

My rest won't affect your ability to chat with Zi Lan."

Qiao Zhenhua shook his head: "I came here to work, and I have to report to my boss when I go back.

Must go back to work.

Let your aunt stay with Zi Lan and the children. Your restaurant will be formally renovated in the next few days, and she doesn't have much to do on site."

Ye Tianshui woke up after sleeping for three hours. He got up, washed up, and went to see Owen. He saw that he was sleeping soundly.

I know he must be exhausted after the operation.

The key point is that when he usually performs such a major operation, he is accompanied by an assistant.

The time for Shen Shengli's operation is tight, and Owen is in Beijing and is closest to Pingcheng.

His assistant is not in the country at all.

Although the doctors and nurses sent by the hospital here are experienced, they lack in terms of cooperation and tacit understanding.

Besides, they don't encounter such large craniotomies very often.

Owen, the surgeon in charge, had an even harder job.

"Any news from the hospital?"

Ye Tianshui asked his men who had just returned from the hospital.

The word "news" has a much more complicated meaning. The ideal result is that the patient wakes up after the anesthesia wears off.

The possibility of this happening to Shen Shengli is extremely small.

Ye Tianshui didn't dare to hold such hope.

What he was looking forward to was that although Shen Shengli did not wake up after the operation, he was still alive!

As long as he is alive, he has hope of waking up!
