At the wine table at noon, in addition to Ye Shanqiu, there were also Zhang Daqiang, who was in charge of the funeral consultation room and funeral business liaison office, and Su Li, the minister in charge of the Party Work Office and the cremation workshop.
In the Party Work Office and Cremation Workshop, Zhang Yuanqing smiled and took the initiative to shake hands with him: "Minister Su is promoting both party building and production."
Su Li was a little surprised. People in the officialdom tried to avoid him when they heard that he was in charge of cremation. The young man who came to investigate did not have this taboo.
Ye Shanqiu's eyes moved, and there was a little smile on his face.
"Section Chief Zhang looked surprised. Which unit were you in before?" Zhang Daqiang was somewhat fond of this young man and took the initiative to ask where he was from.
Zhang Yuanqing did not shy away from it, saying that he used to work in the Municipal Party Committee Office.
The three of them all showed regretful expressions when they heard this. The municipal party committee office is all about people close to the leader. Even if they are also deputy departments, it is very different in the municipal party committee office and in the civil affairs bureau.
Not to mention, he was appointed as a third-level chief clerk and then assigned to a funeral parlor.
With this bad luck, it is almost impossible to make further progress in the officialdom. Just imagine, which leader would use someone who worked in a funeral home as a secretary?
Seeing the silence of the three of them, Zhang Yuanqing smiled slightly: "Come, let's drink."
Seeing that he was pretending to be strong, Ye Shanqiu and others raised their glasses to drink with him. After a meal of wine, everything is basically cooked.
Su Li drank too much, patted Zhang Yuanqing's shoulder and said: "Chief Zhang, although you are here for research, you are working together. If you need help in the future, just ask me. I have made good arrangements for the cremation workshop. That’s right.”
Zhang Yuanqing was speechless, why should I ask you to help me in the cremation workshop?
Ye Shanqiu and others laughed and hurriedly apologized for Su Li: "This guy used to run a business, but he complained several times because he didn't pay attention to his speech. Now he is cremated."
Su Li drank too much and had a "live broadcast". He lay down at the table and vomited.
Zhang Daqiang chuckled: "This guy can't drink but he drinks every day. Don't wait until retirement to run his own business. But this guy was cremated and his body was covered with alcohol, so it saves fuel."
Zhang Yuanqing was really eye-opening. People here really dared to joke about anything.
But Ye Shanqiu waved his hand: "Sooner or later, it will be like this, life is just two ounces of wine... We are all on the road to hell..."
These words were quite well said. I heard that Director Ye used to help write eulogies for people, so he must have good writing skills.
…
After drinking, Zhang Yuanqing came out alone to enjoy the breeze. There is a field near the funeral home, and in the distance is a road under construction.
While walking, there was a small artificial lake, which was relatively secluded.
Zhang Yuanqing lit a cigarette and looked at the sparkling water in the breeze. It was rare that I felt calm in my heart.
Thinking of what Ye Shanqiu and others said, it certainly makes sense, but how can one live without any pursuit in life. Precisely because time is short, it is even more important to make a career.
Recalling Secretary Jin, I thought of going to the mountains and countryside with him, working hard at the grassroots level, trying to find a way for Jiangbei City to deepen reform, transformation and upgrading.
This year was extremely fulfilling for him, but unfortunately, Secretary Jin died young.
Just when Zhang Yuanqing was filled with emotion, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure. A woman is taking photos by the lake. The woman is carrying a backpack, wearing loose overalls, and a peaked cap. She is holding a camera in her hand and taking pictures seriously.
Because it was hot at noon, she took off her coat and tied it around her waist, revealing a tight vest underneath. This woman has the charm of a woman in her thirties and the youthful vitality of a twenty-year-old girl.
She has fair skin and looks very generous. When she tied her coat around her waist, the surrounding scenery suddenly seemed to come alive.
You are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you at the window.
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but find it pleasing to the eye and looked at her twice.
The woman should be fond of photography and have taken a lot of photos. Her posture looks very professional and her body is very flexible.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Yuanqing checked the time and prepared to go back to sleep.
Just as he turned around and took a few steps, he suddenly heard a scream.
He quickly turned around and saw that the woman had fallen into the lake for some unknown reason. This small artificial lake is dug very irregularly and is surrounded by mud.
Once you fall in, it is very likely that your feet will be trapped and you will be unable to get out.
Zhang Yuanqing grew up in a rural area and naturally understands this truth. Seeing that the woman was choking on water, he took off his coat and jumped in.
It was finally possible to fish the woman out, but she was already unconscious.
Zhang Yuanqing suspected that water had entered her lungs and tried to take pictures, but found that it did not help.
He made a quick decision, immediately picked up the woman and ran toward the parking lot of the funeral home.
When he ran to the door, Su Li and Zhang Daqiang were talking at the door. The two of them were shocked when they saw Zhang Yuanqing running here with a man on his back.
"Chief Zhang, what are you doing...which department are you sending to? Do you want to go through the formalities?" Su Li said in a daze before he could calm down.
Zhang Yuanqing said angrily: "The person is still alive, I will take him to the hospital!"
After saying that, he didn't waste any time, opened his car door and threw the person into the back seat.
While driving, I was still thinking about Su Li's speaking style. If he was outside, he could be beaten to death.
After driving the car to the hospital, Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly sent the person to first aid. Fortunately, he was rescued in time and there was no big problem except that he had to be hospitalized.
Zhang Yuanqing threw the bag next to him, then helped pay and left.
The person who collected the money was a little puzzled when he saw Zhang Yuanqing: "Sir, why do your family members come to the emergency room every two days?"
Zhang Yuanqing felt that this toll collector was on par with Su Li, so he rolled his eyes and said, "What about my family members? I just helped others to the hospital when they had accidents."
"Oh, I remembered. You saved an old woman yesterday. The old woman later came to ask for your name. Her husband even asked us to pay attention when we saw you, and asked you which unit you were from and what kind of money you wanted to give. You send the banner."
Because it happened yesterday, the toll collector still remembered his appearance.
Moreover, the old woman's husband seemed to be more than simple. He went to the dean and checked the surveillance system, saying that he must find this young man to express his gratitude.
Zhang Yuanqing waved his hand: "It's better to say goodbye. People will probably feel bad luck when they hear about my work."
Zhang Yuanqing paid the fee and left without leaving his name.
Don't wait until someone comes to the funeral home to thank you. Send a banner saying "Be brave and save someone's life." When this banner is hung in the funeral parlor, it will probably look weird to everyone.
Yes, you know that you are on the outside saving people. Those who don’t know better still think that they are saving people in a furnace.
However, not long after Zhang Yuanqing left, a black Audi parked at the entrance of the inpatient department. The security guard immediately moved out of the way when he saw the license plate number ending in "006".
A middle-aged man hurriedly got out of the car, with a majestic look on his face. The driver also jumped out of the car and followed closely behind.
The two of them entered the hospital, and the ward they entered was the same ward where the young woman taking the photo was staying.
At the same time as they arrived, the hospital director and department director also rushed over, making a lot of noise.
