Chapter 1957

"Very good. I believe you will do even better. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me anytime."

During his tenure as Assistant to the Section Chief, Zhang Zhiqiang actively assisted the Chief in carrying out work, leveraged his professional strengths, and made significant contributions to the development of the Agriculture Section. At the same time, he always maintained a humble, diligent, and hardworking attitude, earning the respect and praise of colleagues and superiors. Three years later, Zhang Zhiqiang was promoted to Deputy Section Chief of the Agriculture Section based on his outstanding work performance and professional capabilities. In this new position, he faced more challenges and responsibilities.

One day, Director Sun called Zhang Zhiqiang into her office. Looking at Zhang Zhiqiang with a smile on her face, she said:

"Little Zhang, after further study by the Bureau, we have decided to promote you to Section Chief of the Agriculture Section. What are your thoughts on this?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiqiang felt extremely excited and grateful. He replied:

"Director Sun, I am very grateful for the Bureau's trust and support. I will continue to work hard and make greater contributions to the development of the Agriculture Section."

Director Sun nodded and said:

"Very good. I believe you will do even better. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me anytime."

After becoming Section Chief of the Agriculture Section, Zhang Zhiqiang worked even harder. He actively promoted various business reforms, strengthened team building, and improved work efficiency and quality. At the same time, he always maintained a humble, diligent, and hardworking attitude, earning the respect and praise of colleagues and superiors.

One day, Director Yang Mei approached Zhang Zhiqiang:

"Little Zhang, I heard you have achieved good results recently in promoting business reforms in the Agriculture Section."

Zhang Zhiqiang replied:

"Director Yang, you flatter me. I have only done what I should have done."

Director Yang Mei continued:

"Very good. I believe you will continue to do even better. You should also pay attention to your health and family."

Hearing Director Yang Mei's words, Zhang Zhiqiang felt warm in his heart. He said gratefully:

"Thank you, Director Yang, for your concern and support. I will continue to work hard."

In future work, Zhang Zhiqiang will continue to work hard, make greater contributions to the development of the Agriculture Section, and create a better future for his family and career. Thus, at the age of thirty, Zhang Zhiqiang was promoted to a Deputy Division-level cadre. From that moment on, his fate began to change...

The next day, Director Yang Mei came to Zhang Zhiqiang's office and said:

"Little Zhang, there is something I need to trouble you with. Go and call Wang Xiaowen over."

Zhang Zhiqiang immediately stood up, walked out of the office, arrived at the door of Wang Xiaowen's office, and knocked on the room door.

Wang Xiaowen looked up towards the door and asked:

"May I ask who you are looking for?"

Zhang Zhiqiang replied: "I am Zhang Zhiqiang. Director Sun sent me to find you."

Hearing Zhang Zhiqiang's name, Wang Xiaowen immediately jumped up from her chair, ran quickly to the door, pulled it open, eagerly shook Zhang Zhiqiang's hand, and said excitedly:

"So it's you! What a coincidence! I have been wanting to find you for a long time."

Seeing Wang Xiaowen's eager gaze, Zhang Zhiqiang said awkwardly:

"Hehe, hello, Section Chief Wang."

"Please, sit down quickly."

As soon as Zhang Zhiqiang was seated, Wang Xiaowen filled a glass of water for him and then eagerly handed it to him.

Zhang Zhiqiang politely said, "Thank you." Then, he took a sip of water, put down the cup, and said seriously to Wang Xiaowen: "Section Chief Wang, what did you want to see me about?"

Seeing Zhang Zhiqiang ask why he was looking for her, Wang Xiaowen said mysteriously:

"Little Zhang, I have a friend whose father suffers from uremia. The doctor told him that if treatment is not timely, he will not live more than two months. Look, is there anyone in our section who understands this disease?"

Zhang Zhiqiang thought for a moment and said:

"This disease belongs to hereditary diseases. It is not an incurable disease. Although I do not know how to treat this disease, I once read a paper that specifically introduced this type of disease. The root of this hereditary disease is still because the blood contains a large amount of adrenaline."

Wang Xiaowen asked with surprise and joy:

"What is the name of that article? Where was it written?"

Zhang Zhiqiang replied:

"This is a classical medical treatise. A copy is kept in the archives of the Nanjing Health Center."

After hearing what Zhang Zhiqiang said, Wang Xiaowen hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed an old expert at the County Hospital, asking him to come to the County Hospital.

Half an hour later, the old expert surnamed Zheng hurriedly arrived at the hospital. When he saw Wang Xiaowen, he asked in confusion:

"Section Chief Wang, why did you ask me to come to the hospital?"

Wang Xiaowen explained her idea to Expert Zheng, hoping he could make an exception. After thinking for a long time, Expert Zheng said:

"How about this, I will try. As for whether it will succeed, I dare not guarantee it."

Wang Xiaowen said repeatedly:

"Thank you, Expert Zheng. I will definitely remember your kindness today."

Expert Zheng shook his head:

"No need to be polite. It is just a small favor."

After speaking, Expert Zheng walked out of the hospital's diagnostic room, preparing to call and contact a hepatobiliary surgery expert.

In a luxury hotel in Jingcheng, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat on a sofa smoking, waiting for his assistant to report the situation.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open. A man in his forties, dressed impeccably, walked in.

"Chairman, I just contacted Expert Zheng from the province. He said he can help you solve this problem. But I think you should not go to the hospital for an examination, but choose to undergo a bone marrow matching surgery. As long as the matching is successful, your uremia can be cured."

The Chairman was silent for a moment and said: "Since you have arranged everything, let's go for the matching tomorrow."

"Okay, I will go prepare the relevant procedures right away." After the assistant finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.

The Chairman of the luxury hotel looked up at the window, his gaze filled with expectations and hope. He knew that the success or failure of this surgery would directly affect his future fate. He silently prayed, hoping his fate could change from this point on.

And in the County Hospital, Expert Zheng was also busy making final preparations for the Chairman's surgery. Through connections, he contacted a famous hepatobiliary surgery expert from the province, who agreed to assist him during the surgery.

Wang Xiaowen was running back and forth in the hospital, contacting the blood bank and relevant hospitals for the Chairman's surgery. She knew the importance of this surgery and understood the responsibility she bore. She could not relax for a moment; she must ensure every link was fully prepared.

The day before the surgery, the man in the suit and leather shoes came to the Chairman's ward again. He told the Chairman that all procedures had been completed and the surgery could be performed tomorrow. The Chairman nodded, Si Shiyi him to rest assured.

The next day, the surgery proceeded as scheduled. Expert Zheng and the hepatobiliary surgery expert personally performed the operation. After several hours of tense surgery, the Chairman's uremia was finally cured. The success of the surgery made both Expert Zheng and Wang Xiaowen feel very gratified.

By the bedside, the Chairman tightly held Expert Zheng's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, you saved my life." Expert Zheng smiled and replied: "This is our duty as doctors. As long as you can recover your health, we will be relieved."

Not long after, the man in a suit and leather shoes came before the hotel chairman again. He reported the situation of the surgery to the chairman and told him that the hospital and experts had been contacted; the next step was to prepare for discharge and return home.

After hearing this news, the chairman was very happy. He sighed and said, "This illness has made me understand many things. Life is so fragile and precious; we must cherish every day." The man in the suit and leather shoes also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chairman. This experience has also made us cherish life and health even more."

The man in the suit and leather shoes was named Li Ming, the chairman's capable assistant. Under the chairman's leadership, the company had achieved substantial development in recent years. This successful acquisition of the luxury hotel had further increased the company's influence in the market.

However, just at this moment, a sudden crisis was approaching the company.

One afternoon, while the chairman was handling documents in his office, he suddenly received a mysterious phone call. The person on the phone threatened that if five million yuan in protection money was not handed over, the company's office building would be blown up.

After hearing this news, the chairman was very shocked. He knew the gang members held great power; if he truly provoked them, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thus, he immediately summoned the company's leadership to discuss countermeasures.

At the meeting, some suggested calling the police, while others suggested negotiating with the gang members. The chairman felt calling the police was the best choice, but Li Ming believed negotiation was the better way. He said, "If we call the police, it might provoke retaliation from the gang members. If we negotiate with them, perhaps we can avoid a greater crisis." The chairman found Li Ming's words very reasonable, so he decided to let Li Ming go negotiate with the gang members.

Li Ming arrived at the gang members' lair. Facing these fierce-looking fellows, he remained very calm. He told the gang members that the company knew of their threats but would not hand over five million yuan in protection money. If the gang members wanted retaliation, they could send some people to attack the company's office building. But if the gang members did not attack the office building, the company would also consider cooperating with the gang members on some projects.

After hearing Li Ming's words, the gang members were very shocked. They had not expected a company to respond to their threats so firmly. Thus, they decided to abandon this attack.

After hearing this news, the chairman and the company's leadership were very happy. They knew the company had safely weathered this crisis. At the same time, they also understood that only through a firm attitude and a tough approach could they deal with the threats from these gang members.

In the days that followed, the company strengthened security measures and preventive measures. They cooperated closely with the local police to ensure the company's safety. At the same time, they also actively negotiated with the gang members and cooperated on some projects. Ultimately, the company successfully expanded its influence in the market and gained more commercial opportunities.
