Yang Weiguo contacted Bi Yanjun in the office. After getting the other party's permission, he immediately took Lin Shaowen to the Ministry of Industry building.
On the road.
Yang Weiguo hesitated several times, but in the end he said nothing.
He didn't dare to say that he knew Lin Shaowen well, but if it weren't for some earth-shattering event, Lin Shaowen would not visit Bi Yanjun, even though Lin Shaowen spent his high school years at Bi Yanjun's house.
Ministry of Industry.
Minister's Office.
Bi Yanjun was sitting on his desk reviewing documents, while Gu Yanbing stood beside him. After seeing Yang Weiguo and Lin Shaowen arriving, Gu Yanbing immediately came up to entertain them.
But Yang Weiguo smiled bitterly and shook his head, standing at the door without coming in.
Bi Yanjun raised his head and glanced at Yang Weiguo, and immediately frowned.
"If you don't come in, get out."
"yes."
Yang Weiguo stood up straight and ran away quickly.
He didn't know what Lin Shaowen wanted to say to Bi Yanjun, and he didn't want to know.
"Close the door." Bi Yanjun ordered.
Gu Yanbing immediately closed the door and poured another cup of tea for Lin Shaowen.
"You have something to say."
Bi Yanjun got up and walked to the sofa, sitting next to Lin Shaowen.
He glanced at Lin Shaowen and found that his hands were shaking slightly, and his brows furrowed deeper.
Lin Shaowen didn't speak, and neither did Bi Yanjun. Gu Yanbing stood aside with his head lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
A long while.
"Minister, do you think... the snow this year is a little different?" Lin Shaowen's lips were a little dry.
"What do you want to say?" Bi Yanjun said softly.
"I……"
After Lin Shaowen uttered a word, he fell into a long silence.
"Don't be afraid." Bi Yanjun comforted, "Yan Bing and I will not mention what you say now to anyone. It doesn't matter even if you are wrong."
"I carefully studied the snowfall across the country, and I found that this year's snow is different from previous years. The snow is very deep, and the weather this year is also particularly cold." Lin Shaowen lowered his head and sounded a little sad, "If the snow stops, it will not be the same." If we stop, it is very likely that next year..."
Before he finished speaking, Bi Yanjun's pupils had already shrunk violently.
"Shaowen, don't say this nonsense." Gu Yanbing said tightly.
If it is true as Lin Shaowen said, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for the country that is just starting out. Moreover, the industry that everyone is working hard to develop is likely to come to a standstill.
What’s the use of developing industry when all the people are gone?
"Shaowen, you..."
This time it was Bi Yanjun's turn to fall silent.
The country is in a great situation now. If cold water is poured on it at this time, not to mention how to deal with it, just "singing against the superiors" is enough to end a person's political career, even if he is a minister.
"If it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I would like to...explain this matter in the name of a lecturer at the Medical University."
Lin Shaowen mustered up his courage and looked at Bi Yanjun.
Bi Yanjun looked at Lin Shaowen and sighed after a long time, "Is it necessary to do this? If nothing happens in the coming year..."
"It is best to have peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
Lin Shaowen lowered his eyes and clamped his hands between his legs.
Bi Yanjun fell into silence.
Gu Yanbing spoke at this time, "Shaowen, if you can come forward, it would be best if you do it."
"Shut up." Bi Yanjun frowned and scolded.
"Minister, listen to me." Gu Yanbing also risked his life, "If this matter is true, then Shaowen will certainly be indispensable. But just in case... you can also protect him."
"You don't understand." Bi Yanjun said in a deep voice, "What influence does he have as the deputy director of a steel rolling mill? Do you really think that just a random person can attract everyone's attention? If he really dares to talk nonsense in the newspaper... Hum hum."
He stopped talking.
But both Gu Yanbing and Lin Shaowen knew that the consequences would be serious.
"minister."
Gu Yanbing shouted.
"I will do this, and I will let all departments start paying attention to this matter." Bi Yanjun smiled self-deprecatingly, "As Shaowen said, as long as the country is peaceful and the people are safe, other things... can't be taken care of. "
Lin Shaowen couldn't help but blush when he looked at Bi Yanjun, whose temples were turning white.
He didn't know whether the actual situation would develop according to the historical process. If that didn't happen, then he would almost have cheated Bi Yanjun. Even if he is not blamed by his superiors, retirement is already a certainty.
But if it happens... Bi Yanjun may not get much benefit.
After all, in those few years, China has suffered tremendous hardships, and there will only be a greater burden waiting for Bi Yanjun to bear.
"Xiao Lin, you are very good." Bi Yanjun patted Lin Shaowen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Just for this responsibility, you are already better than many people. Once you get out of this door, this matter has nothing to do with you. You will get credit when the time comes. , and don’t be jealous.”
Listening to his joke, Lin Shaowen's eyes suddenly turned red.
Gu Yanbing also came over and patted Lin Shaowen on the shoulder.
Steel rolling mill.
Medical Department.
Lin Shaowen didn't know how he came back. He was sitting on a stool, looking at the New Year's goods in front of him in a daze.
This year's New Year's goods at the steel rolling mill are very rich. In addition to a large piece of meat, there is also a small bag of flour and some vegetables.
No matter what the family background is, at least the meal on New Year's Eve is enough.
"Hey, Minister Lin, haven't you gone back yet?"
Li Chunhua's smiling voice came over, followed by a large group of ladies watching the fun.
"Isn't this waiting for you?"
Lin Shaowen calmed down and chuckled, "I'm willing to admit defeat and let you pick first."
"Minister Lin is very generous."
Many female comrades gave Lin Shaowen a thumbs up.
"Then I won't be polite."
Li Chunhua smiled and took out a knife and divided the large piece of meat into two pieces. He casually picked up a piece, weighed it in his hand, and said proudly, "Minister Lin, in terms of ability, you are better than me, but in terms of women... you are still a bit tender."
"Hahaha!"
The crowd roared with laughter.
"Director Li, I am really convinced."
Lin Shaowen begged for mercy.
"Don't you agree? You've only seen a few girls." Someone shouted.
"What are you talking about? If you have seen this too many times, will you still be a gentleman, Minister Lin?" someone shouted again.
"Hahaha!"
The girls laughed again.
I almost didn't carry the infirmary away.
"Sisters, next time you see a little fox approaching Minister Lin, please watch out for Xiao Mo." Li Chunhua shouted loudly.
"You have to keep an eye on it, otherwise Tang Monk will be seduced by the female goblin." Everyone cheered.
"Sisters, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
Lin Shaowen begged for mercy and bowed, and scattered the candies in the drawer one by one before the girls let her go.
"Okay, now that Minister Lin has given in, we will withdraw."
After Li Chunhua winked at Lin Shaowen, she walked out of the infirmary first.
Seeing this, the others followed him laughing.
Lin Shaowen stood in the infirmary and couldn't help laughing.
After this group of people made such a fuss, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
