Power career

Power career - Chapter [-]: Friends

After Xia Qiu drank a glass of water, she had already recalled the ups and downs of her life. When she thought that she had lived for more than 50 years, she could only review it in such a short time with only a glass of water. She couldn't help laughing at herself.It turns out that life is so short. I just wanted to enjoy a beautiful old age, but I was plagued by a serious disease, and my life suddenly became fragile. The flesh and blood body seemed to be as light as a small paper doll.

Then she had lunch unhurriedly, and after making a phone call, she went to the cancer hospital.A woman about her age was waiting for her at the gate of the cancer hospital.She is Xia Qiu's best friend and a best friend who grew up together.The name is Zhu Huafei, and she is now the wife of Li Nianjia, the deputy mayor of Shanghai Stock Exchange. The two of them seem to be good friends who cannot be separated for life.

Lu Xiaodong died early. If Lu Xiaodong hadn't encountered an accident, he would have been promoted to the position of the main hall, but Li Nianjia's official fortune is better. Although he is the deputy mayor, in the international metropolis of Shanghai Stock Exchange, he is already the deputy minister level officials.The two are separated by thousands of miles, both are busy with their respective families and careers, and rarely communicate with each other. However, every new year's birthday, greetings, and details of expressing concern have not changed over the years.

Zhu Huafei looked at Xia Qiu who was walking towards him, and said angrily: "When did you come, and you didn't call me in advance, let me go to the airport to pick you up."

Xia Qiu smiled, and saw Zhu Huafei who was still handsome, but with a few wrinkles on his temples, and said with relief: "Let's not talk about those etiquettes, I have more important things to ask for your help."

"Ask me for help? You never asked me for help last time in your life. This time, is it really that serious?" Zhu Huafei put away the smile on his face, feeling the seriousness of the matter.

Xia Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm terminally ill, and I need to ask for some funeral affairs."

"Terminally ill?" Zhu Huafei was taken aback, looked at Xia Qiu who had an unnatural expression, and blurted out, "There is a limit to joking around, you can't make fun of yourself like this."

"It's true. I have a malignant brain tumor. I only have three months to live. And it's incurable. I hope we can treat this matter more rationally."

"Ah?" Zhu Huafei looked at Xia Qiu, who was not joking at all, and suddenly became confused, and said, "Where's Lu Yan? Why isn't he with you?"

"Only me and Cao Rongju, a brain doctor at Wucheng First Hospital, know about this matter. I haven't told anyone else. Feifei, I can't tell my relatives about this kind of thing. Only you are my best friend. I told you, I told others, it only increases anxiety, it doesn’t help.”

Zhu Huafei gasped and said, "Calm down? How can you calm down?"

"What if you don't calm down? Are you going to cry a lot? Tell people about your misfortune?" Xia Qiu smiled bitterly, and said, "Only by calming down and arranging the things behind you can you leave without haste. , these are my last days, and I hope to spend them freely."

Zhu Huafei supported Xia Qiu's body, tears streaming down her cheeks, and said with a choked voice, "Qiuqiu, you are too strong. You have been strong for the rest of your life. I am so sad that you still can't let go of your arrogance."

Xia Qiu lightly patted the back of Zhu Huafei's hand, and said gently: "Don't let people see your tears, it's no big deal, I've already thought about it, in this life, sooner or later there will be such a day, isn't it Is this what the song is about? Have you forgotten? Don’t ask me where I come from. My hometown is far away. For the wide grassland, wandering far away, wandering, and also, for the olive tree in the dream Olive tree, don't ask me where I come from, my hometown is far away, why wandering, why wandering, far away, for me, in the dream The olive tree...'" Xia Qiu gently hummed this song, which was her and Zhu Huafei's favorite song when they were young.

Xia Qiu continued: "Until now, I didn't understand that when I was young, the ideals in my heart were not realistic at all, but the days of mediocrity followed one after another, and people couldn't help but rush through life with the society and the world. For the rest of my life, if I could go back in time, I really hope to graze cattle and sheep on the prairie, and take a bath in the stream in the mountains.”

After hearing her rap, Zhu Huafei laughed through tears and said: "You really can think about it, alas! As long as you need, I can accompany you to graze cattle and sheep on the grassland at any time, and take a bath in the mountain stream."

Xia Qiu said with a smile: "I came to you this time to ask you to accompany me. First, let's have an examination together. After I was diagnosed with a terminal illness in the No. [-] Hospital of Wucheng City, I really didn't believe it was so serious. I just asked for leave to prepare for a re-examination, if there is such a serious illness, I will give up."

"Yes, it's time for a re-examination. I'll accompany you to check here, and then we'll go to the United States to check. We need further confirmation." Zhu Huafei seemed to have seen the dawn of hope, and his mood improved a little.

"You don't need to go to so many places, you just need to check it again. Since time is running out, let's not waste it. Let's talk about the past. I have something to ask you."

"Your business is my business, please do not ask me, I will help you, how about this, I will call Lao Li's secretary, he has acquaintances in this hospital, just need to wait. "

"I can afford to wait."

The two left the gate of the hospital and returned to Zhu Huafei's car.This is an ordinary Audi car, Zhu Huafei drives it herself, and her husband Li Nianjia has another car.

Zhu Huafei called Li Nianjia's secretary directly and said, "Xiao Wang, do you know a doctor in the cancer hospital?"

"Yes, what's your order, Aunt Zhu?"

"I have a good friend who came from Xizhou Province and wanted to see a brain tumor. If you are not busy, come over and help me arrange it. By the way, book a table at the Gourmet Washington, and let Lao Li reject all the entertainment in the evening. Have a meal with my friend."

"Okay, I will take a leave with Mayor Li and go there. Where are you?"

"I'm in the car in the parking lot outside the cancer hospital. You can come and find me directly, and call me if you can't find it."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Huafei chatted with Xia Qiu about their children. Zhu Huafei only had one daughter, who was married to a Chinese American and lived in Ohio, USA.Both the husband and wife are engaged in scientific research and can come back once a year.

Xia Qiu said: "How about you, I have a pair of lovely grandchildren, and I only have one grandson." Thinking that he would no longer enjoy the joy of children and grandchildren, Xia Qiu's heart couldn't help being sad no matter how strong he was, and his mood became bad stand up.

Zhu Huafei regretted secretly in her heart, and kept blaming herself. She shouldn't have talked about these things that Xia Qiu couldn't let go of. However, they haven't seen each other for many years. In this grade, it's normal to meet each other and talk about everyday things. Knowing that Lu Xiaodong was dead, Zhu Huafei avoided her husbands.Speaking of children and grandchildren, unexpectedly, children and grandchildren are also Xia Qiu's heart disease.There are too many regrets that it is too late to finish, and any topic is sad.

Xiao Wang drove to the cancer hospital quickly, found Zhu Huafei, took Zhu Huafei and Xia Qiu to find the director of the hospital, the director saw the secretary of the mayor driving in person, and hurriedly served fragrant tea, and learned that the person in front of him The middle-aged woman dressed like a well-dressed lady is the mayor's wife, and immediately greeted her with a smile.

Due to the dean's arrangement, the doctor carefully performed brain scans and slices for Xia Qiu, and the examination was not completed until evening, and the banquet that Zhu Huafei had prepared for Xia Qiu was also in vain.Xia Qiu had a hole in the top of his head and needed to be hospitalized for recuperation.Two days later, the results of the examination came out. As Cao Rongju said, it was a malignant brain tumor, which had reached a very serious stage. At present, there is no better treatment plan in the world.

After Zhu Huafei heard the news, she could only feel sorry for Xia Qiu, and Li Nianjia also took time to visit Xia Qiu who was hospitalized, and said a few words of comfort.Compared with the life that is about to disappear, any comfort is pale and weak.Xia Qiu was already mentally prepared, unlike the shock she felt when she heard the news for the first time.

Only Zhu Huafei couldn't accept this result, he could force a smile in front of Xia Qiu, and cried countless times behind his back.Xia Qiu's fate in this life is very bitter. She lost her husband in her early years and her life in her later years. These are things that cannot be recovered by manpower. Compared with Xia Qiu, she feels that she is much, much happier.

After staying in Xiaqiu for ten days, the part of the brain where the craniotomy was performed has healed, but the hair has not fully grown out, so a palm-sized piece of hair was cut off, and only sparse hair grew back.She handed a letter she had already written to Zhu Huafei, and said, "One month after I die, you can give this letter to Ah Yan and send it to the address above. No one knows about the momentary misstep. You hand this letter to Ah Yan, and he will understand everything. This is the most important thing I entrusted to you. Be sure to done."

"Don't worry, I will definitely hand it over to Ah Yan." After Zhu Huafei took the letter, he held it tightly in his hand and said, "Qiuqiu, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, Feifei, I'm not a child anymore. I know what's important and how to arrange the rest of my time. I should enjoy the last time of my life." Her words made Zhu Huafei's tears fall again down.
