Chapter 3605

President Wu was clearly still a bit drunk. His hands were resting on Wang Juan's shoulders and stroking them intentionally or unintentionally as he said, "The situation is a bit unfavorable. We must prepare in advance... His family members are very unstable emotionally; they were just arguing with Director Xu."

Although President Wu had his hands on her shoulders, Wang Juan felt he was drunk and didn't think he was intentionally trying to take advantage of her; she just felt very uncomfortable being touched like this. So she deliberately took a step back, splitting President Wu's hands, and couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit strange as she said, "Isn't it normal for people to get sick? This can be considered a natural disaster or man-made misfortune, and it shouldn't have anything to do with our bank, right?"

President Wu saw that Wang Juan still didn't understand the meaning of his words, so he looked around, stepped forward again, leaned his mouth to Wang Juan's ear, and whispered the whole process of Credit Director Li Feng's sudden hospitalization to Wang Juan. After hearing President Wu's account, Wang Juan suddenly realized and understood that Li Feng's illness today was entirely caused by drinking. She knew that as the credit department director, Li Feng spent most of his time at the dinner table 365 days a year, and his drinking capacity had always been one of the best in the bank. He had nicknames like "Li Three Bottles" and "Li Never Falls" in the bank. Wang Juan also remembered seeing Li Feng in the office not long ago, and his complexion was not normal. She had even advised Li Feng to take it easy at the dinner table. She didn't expect that so soon... Could it be that Li Feng didn't know about his own condition at all? If he knew he had liver cancer and still drank like that, wouldn't that be equivalent to suicide?

Wang Juan frowned and thought for a moment, staring at President Wu with a suspicious look, and asked meaningfully, "President Wu, were you drinking together today?"

"No, no..." Hearing Wang Juan's question, President Wu waved his hands frantically and denied it vigorously, "I... I just happened to have a few friends come over, and we were having a small gathering together... I also received a call from President Li halfway through and rushed over... It seems he went to inspect an enterprise with President Zhao of the Renmin Road branch and had a drink together at noon... Didn't you arrange this task for him?"

Wang Juan saw that the man surnamed Wu seemed to have the intention of splashing dirty water on her, and she was immediately a bit unhappy in her heart. She thought to herself, even if I arranged the work for him, I didn't tell him to go drinking! If he drank and something happened, what does it have to do with me! The prevailing drinking culture in the whole bank has a lot to do with you, the number one person who is addicted to alcohol!

However, looking at President Wu's drunken face, Wang Juan didn't intend to argue with him in the hospital. Now the most important thing was to see if Credit Director Li Feng could save his life; that was the most important thing.

So Wang Juan said, "Since President Li Dong is also here, let's leave the administrative matters to President Li to handle. He has handled many cases of life and death in the bank and has experience... What do you think, President Wu?"

Hearing Wang Juan's proposal, President Wu knew that Wang Juan realized he wanted to splash dirty water on her and was intentionally trying to shirk responsibility. He brought his head over again and said, "My meaning is that in case Li Feng has any mishaps, our bank must unify our stance and have a statement for the outside world. This statement should minimize the negative impact. As his direct supervisor, what is your opinion?"

Wang Juan naturally understood the meaning of the man surnamed Wu. If Li Feng really couldn't be saved today, it would at least be a small news item in the bank tomorrow. Once others knew he fell at the dinner table, some people would likely seize this point to hype it up, which would inevitably cause a bad social impact and also attract the attention of those above. President Wu clearly didn't want to see this situation occur. Was he trying to hide the fact that Li Feng was drinking?

Wang Juan glanced at President Wu and said, "I understand what you mean, Old Wu. The key is that Li Feng's family already knows he was drinking..." Wang Juan knew very well that once this matter was investigated from above, she, as the vice president in charge of credit, would definitely be the first person to be questioned, because Credit Director Li Feng was her subordinate. Even if it didn't reach the level of responsibility, at least she hadn't done her job well. On this point, she and President Wu were two grasshoppers on the same rope; in terms of interests, not only was there no disagreement, but they were closely related. However, she wouldn't be stupid enough to offer advice for President Wu. She didn't oppose the idea of the man surnamed Wu, which was considered tacitly agreeing to his thoughts.

Seeing that Wang Juan was very cooperative with his thoughts, President Wu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That doesn't matter. On one hand, the hospital has already confirmed that Li Feng has late-stage liver cancer, and basically, it can be said that he could die at any time, regardless of time or place... Of course, as leaders, we didn't know our employee had liver cancer; we still have to reflect on ourselves. Starting tomorrow, we will arrange for every employee in the bank to go to the hospital for a physical examination. I have already arranged for Director Xu to do this. As for Li Feng's family..." President Wu frowned and touched his chin, pondering for a while, and continued, "In addition to giving the necessary subsidies according to regulations, he can be commended as an advanced model. No matter what, he was drinking for work. Just the point of hiding his terminal illness and persisting in work is enough to make a fuss about. You consider the specific reward amount. I will let Old Li and Li Feng's family discuss it as well. The goal is always to handle this matter steadily and properly. At least give him a 'died in the line of duty' status. Your department will prepare the materials tomorrow..."

Wang Juan didn't know if this man surnamed Wu was really drunk or pretending to be drunk, and couldn't help but remind him, "Old Wu, isn't it too early for you to say these things? Old Li is still undergoing emergency treatment. Maybe he'll be fine..."

Just as Wang Juan's words came out, she suddenly heard a heart-wrenching cry coming from the corridor. Wang Juan and President Wu instinctively looked at each other. President Wu patted Wang Juan's shoulder, as if comforting her, and said, "It's never wrong to take precautions. It's better to be prepared in advance."

When the doctor walked out of the operating room with an exhausted face, Li Feng's family swarmed up. Seeing the attending physician shake his head helplessly, a middle-aged woman let out a shrill cry and then fainted on the ground. A group of people was in a panic, pinching her philtrum and feeding her water, and finally, she woke up faintly.

Wang Juan guessed that this middle-aged woman should be Li Feng's wife, and the teenager might be his son. Looking at the orphan and widow, her nose couldn't help but feel sour. Fortunately, Li Dong, who was in charge of criminal investigation, and Director Xu were there to comfort them, otherwise, Wang Juan wouldn't have known what she should do. She glanced at President Zhao Wei of the Renmin Road branch beside her, and seeing that the flush on her face hadn't faded even now, she actually felt a trace of resentment toward this woman in her heart.

Zhao Wei, this woman, had the same name as a famous actress. She was 34 years old this year and was one of the few middle-level female cadres in the bank. Wang Juan knew a little about her. If it were based solely on professional ability, Zhao Wei probably wouldn't be able to be a branch president in her next life. But this woman was naturally beautiful, had a body full of flirtatious charm, was very outstanding in appearance, and at the same time knew how to handle things, had an eye for things, and was open-minded. Therefore, in the eyes of the top leaders of the branch, she was considered a treasure in the system. Needless to say, her promotion to branch president had a direct relationship with the man surnamed Wu. However, so far, there hadn't been any rumors about them. Although the death of Credit Director Li Feng this time couldn't be said to have a direct relationship with her, she couldn't escape responsibility. Wang Juan knew that Li Feng was the credit director of the branch. According to practice, if there was any reception in the bank or entertainment for enterprises, he would always greet her in advance, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't act without authorization. But for this dinner party at noon today, she hadn't heard Li Feng mention it at all. It was clearly Zhao Wei who set up the stage and didn't want her to show up. Calling Li Feng was nothing more than to give herself face. Maybe this flirtatious woman was running a loan for one of her connections again! She didn't expect that she would actually let Li Feng drink himself to death at the dinner table. If those above insisted on using this matter to make a cut, the one who should be punished among them was Zhao Wei.
