Chapter 263: You Must Keep Old Affections in Mind!

~8 min read 1,432 words

Tang Ye hurried forward and pulled Xiao Si up.

"Don't panic yet; it cannot be determined right now that it is leukemia.

Moreover, leukemia is divided into many types; some types can be completely controlled through medication.

As for the medical expenses, we will all think of a way together; you must believe that heaven never cuts off all paths."

Xiao Si subconsciously placed his hand on Tang Ye's wrist and said with a sob, "Section Chief Tang, I will definitely do everything in my power to earn the medical fees. I beg you, don't tell her about this yet, okay?"

Tang Ye finally understood why Wan Ming was willing to help Xiao Si.

Although his hands and feet were not entirely clean, once it involved someone he cared about, he was willing to risk everything.

He thought of that saying again.

Righteousness is often found among the dog-butchers.

The most heartless are the scholars.

"I can help you keep the condition a secret, but you must promise me that you will never do anything illegal."

"Okay, I promise you!" Xiao Si raised his hand and quickly wiped the tears from his face.

"Xiaoshuang is still waiting for news outside; you need to stay optimistic." Tang Ye patted Xiao Si on the shoulder and encouraged him.

Xiao Si nodded slightly, "I know."

The two walked out of the examination room.

Xiao Si immediately adjusted his state, and his whole person looked much more relaxed.

Xiaoshuang was full of worry and asked cautiously, "What did the doctor say? Is my illness very hard to treat?"

"It's just a common fever, don't let your imagination run wild."

Xiaoshuang's eyes turned red, and her voice carried a hint of a sob: "Don't lie to me. I know in my heart that I must have a serious illness. I will find out sooner or later."

Seeing that he really couldn't keep it hidden, Xiao Si's eyes turned red instantly.

"The doctor said you might have leukemia, but it's not certain. The probability of this disease is so low, how could it be such a coincidence that it fell on you? Don't scare yourself."

Hearing the words "leukemia," Xiaoshuang's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Xiao Si, from now on, don't worry about me anymore." Xiaoshuang said with a trembling voice.

"If I don't worry about you, who else can?" Xiao Si said anxiously.

Tang Ye and Wan Ming exchanged a glance, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They didn't expect to see such pure affection from these two young children.

Wan Ming sighed secretly.

Treating leukemia is a bottomless pit.

Taking Gleevec as an example, a box of medicine costs twenty or thirty thousand, which is simply unaffordable for an ordinary family.

Moreover, to be cured, one has to undergo a bone marrow transplant, which is an even more staggering figure.

Tang Ye said softly, "Regarding the medical expenses, Old Wan and I will think of a way with you. But you two must stay calm; no matter what happens, you must not give up on life easily."

Wan Ming signaled to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye understood what Wan Ming meant and stepped away from the two.

"You have many ideas; do you already have a plan in mind?"

"I don't have absolute certainty yet, but it can be tried.

On one hand, we can use the power of the media to launch an appeal for help from society;

On the other hand, we can communicate with the hospital to see if we can reduce or waive the treatment and hospitalization fees through some special channels."

"It was a lot of trouble for you today.

Come to think of it, this child Xiaoshuang is truly pitiful.

Her father was once a famous entrepreneur in Hanzhou, and Qimei Group was founded by her father single-handedly.

It's just a pity that her father got involved in a dispute and was arrested by the police.

Her mother couldn't bear the heavy blow and committed suicide by drinking pesticide.

Xiaoshuang had no relatives willing to adopt her, so she became an orphan.

Xiao Si and Xiaoshuang met at the orphanage; they can be considered childhood sweethearts who relied on each other for survival."

Tang Ye's eyes were full of surprise.

"There are problems with the merger of Qimei Group, and the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office has already established a special Investigation Team and is currently making every effort to investigate thoroughly."

Wan Ming nodded slightly.

"Suiyuan County is like an iron bucket; it is not easy for the Municipal Party Committee Inspection Office to get to the bottom of the matter."

Tang Ye knew that Wan Ming was also participating in the investigation of this case.

"The harder the bone to chew, the greater the harvest."

Tang Ye returned to the special care ward.

As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw the Dean waiting for him, and in an instant, he realized that the Dean must have come to find Jiang Jing for something.

Although this was a hospital and the Dean's "territory," even if he wanted to see Jiang Jing to discuss official business, he still had to apply to Tang Ye according to procedure.

Tang Ye grew up in the hospital compound since childhood, and the Dean still knew a thing or two about him.

Back when Tang Ye was admitted to Qiongjin University, it really caused quite a sensation in the hospital.

It's just that the Dean's relationship with Tang Yu had been relatively plain in the past, and they didn't interact frequently, so the two weren't very familiar.

Tang Ye could understand this.

In this world, people's eyes are always cast upward.

But they never thought that those standing in high positions do not need to accommodate those below.

People subconsciously keep their distance from those whose magnetic field is weaker than their own.

Firstly, they are of no use to him, and mutual entanglement would only disperse and consume his energy.

Secondly, associating with people of a low magnetic field will lower one's own frequency and damage the strength of one's own magnetic field.

Once you become strong yourself, people who are on the same frequency as you will naturally appear.

"Uncle Lu, do you have something to see me about?"

"Little Tang, I won't beat around the bush with you. I hope to report the plan for building a new campus for the City Hospital to Mayor Jiang.

The construction plan for the new campus was put on the agenda several years ago, but it has been stuck at the stage of financial approval."

Now that Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Jing, who is in charge of the Municipal Finance Bureau, is hospitalized, it is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dean Lu.

Dean Lu has reached a critical age for promotion, and if he wants to climb higher, he must have outstanding achievements to show for it as support.

If he can successfully apply for the new campus project, the hope for his promotion will greatly increase.

Tang Ye showed a look of embarrassment and said sincerely, "Uncle Lu, I suggest you follow the normal procedures, submit a report to the higher-level departments, and hand it over to the Municipal Party Committee. The Municipal Party Committee will forward the document to the Finance Bureau for review, and Mayor Jiang will certainly see it then. You are also aware of Mayor Jiang's current condition; at this time, it is really not suitable to add extra work burdens to him."

In reality, Tang Ye understood in his heart that the project to build a new campus was likely just an excuse for Dean Lu.

Whether the project could eventually be implemented might not be what he valued most.

The key was to use this opportunity to become a familiar face in front of Jiang Jing and let Jiang Jing know that he is a Dean with ideas and accomplishments.

"I will definitely report it in the shortest possible time." A smile appeared on Dean Lu's face.

"Uncle Lu, forgive my bluntness, but now is really not the right time for you to see Mayor Jiang. Secretary-General Lin has repeatedly instructed to minimize visitors as much as possible. Yesterday, the leaders of the Municipal Finance Bureau came to visit, and they were also politely turned away." Tang Ye explained patiently.

Seeing that Tang Ye's attitude was firm, Dean Lu could not help but feel a little disappointed.

"Little Tang, I watched you grow up; you must keep our old friendship in mind!"
