Chapter 971: You

She continues: "In fact, they don't feel remorse in their hearts, just a bit unwilling; they're resentful, caught too early, otherwise they could keep maintaining his kind of multiple improper relationships. Anyway he himself hasn't lost anything, on the contrary he's rising, why wouldn't he be happy to do it?"

"You all stop looking at me with that kind of gaze; I'm not that kind of person, even if I were, I wouldn't associate with such people. I'm just analyzing."

After the words fell, Li Lingyu also said: "Why? I'm not that kind of person either, and I'm an honest, decent person."

"Besides, Secretary Zhang called me, I refused outright, I never went to see him."

Su Yang said, "This person is still quite interesting; from the start he earnestly tried to rally everyone, wanting to gather a batch, divide a batch, suppress a batch; that way his goal might be achieved."

"Actually, if I may say, standing in his position, there's no need for that at all; just do his own work well, the subordinates below will naturally form a judgment in their minds."

While Su Yang and the others were eating and chatting here, Qi Guohui, who was being rushed in the Hospital, finally slowly woke up.

Actually he had woken earlier, but he felt embarrassed to wake so early; otherwise wouldn't that confirm his feigning unconsciousness?

If this got spread, it would be really embarrassing; this move in officialdom is not without precedent, but in Jinzhou it's the first ever.

Moreover, everyone present today are thousand‑year‑old foxes; no one can hide this, they probably are already laughing behind the scenes.

He opened his eyes again and said: "Where am I?"

The little nurse at the bedside said: "Secretary Qi, hello, this is the County People's Hospital; just now while you were working, you fainted due to low blood sugar."

What does "fainted due to low blood sugar" mean? That's a completely technical answer.

Moreover this was prearranged by the director beforehand; from the director's position, Qi Guohui must not have any incident, and when he wakes, all expressions must be reasonable.

Otherwise they'd just say: "You pretended to be a dead dog, feigned unconsciousness, and ended up getting a few slaps that knocked you out, then we really gave you two injections, and you finally came to."

Then the director of that hospital would probably have to pack up and go home the next day.

Qi Guohui then struggled and said: "Really causing trouble for comrades, this is an old ailment of mine; doctors have always told me to pay more attention, pay more attention, and it's just that my recent work pressure is too great, I didn't take it seriously."

At this moment the director came in and said: "Secretary Qi, you must cherish your own health; your body is a priceless treasure, this big illness and small matter concerns not only you alone, but also the hundreds of thousands of common people in our county."

"You need to convalesce here for a week; do you think we should transfer you to another separate ward?"

The director is also quite stingy; although Qi Guohui's ward is already a single room, it still has some medical facilities, and the air still carries a medicinal scent.

But if you change to another room, it would be just as proper as staying in a hotel; any regional hospital has that, after all every place has leaders with such high‑level wards, usually decorated more luxuriously than five‑star hotels, for some leaders to recuperate temporarily.

Qi Guohui's rank naturally qualifies.

He said: "No way, the county's work is countless, and Secretary Zhang has just taken office, with all kinds of meetings, all kinds of busyness; how could I abandon my post?"

"How about this: I don't need a whole week, just two days to stay and observe; if nothing's wrong, I'll return to my post."

At the same time, he also asked: "During this time, is anyone coming to see me?"

Compared with feigning death and fainting, this is the most important.

He wants to see whether Zhang Jiangbo and Zhao Nanxing have come, or whether any client has visited; this is very important to him.

However, the director's answer disappointed him: "Secretary Qi, the senior leader hasn't arrived yet, probably because they're busy."

He was speaking when Jiang Tao came in: "Old Qi, you woke up?"

"I thought this time you were seriously ill, as long as the body is fine it's good. Secretary Zhang and County Magistrate Zhao are both thinking of you; they specifically asked me to come see you."

"See if there's anything needed, or whether we should bring your sister‑in‑law over?"

Hearing this, Qi Guohui felt moved deep inside; anyway, today's fainting was for helping Zhang Jiangbo and Zhao Nanxing get out of a bind.

If they didn't accept gratitude, that would be a loss for him, but he didn't expect the next sentence almost made him vomit: "His condition is clear to all these old foxes present, why bring his wife? To settle affairs!"

Not understanding what he meant, Jiang Tao also said to the director: "I'll have a private chat with Old Qi."

The director, being very considerate, stepped out.

Jiang Tao said: "Old Qi, today you really earned merit; Su Yang and his group truly surprised me, their minds are so agile, this is clearly a drama, just see how the script is written, how heavy it is."

"As a result it bounced back at once, and he dragged Old Yang into the water; if we have to fight, Old Yang will have to take the blows together."

"Of course the most detestable is Chen Bo, what leadership responsibility, making the top leader bear the responsibility, directly tying the bomb pack to everyone's bodies."

"Today we owe it to you; if you hadn't suddenly had that old ailment flare up, we would have lost face."

Qi Guohui said: "Not only those people, even Sun Chengjun of the Public Security Bureau truly has the heart of a wolf and the courage of a leopard, daring to openly insult Secretary Zhang!"

"These people really are lawless."

"Could it be that this matter just ends like this?"

Jiang Tao said: "You also know the situation at today's Standing Committee meeting; regarding whether to punish Su Yang and other leaders of Guantan Gou Town, it's entirely up to the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to decide."

"As for the matter of everyone being tied together with the bomb pack, you handle that, so now we just wait for the Municipal Party Committee's decision."

"Moreover, Secretary Zhang himself is Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and he came down from Jingcheng; I think the Standing Committee will definitely give him face."

"This time Su Yang has no chance to evade; best to give him a severe party warning, or directly a major demerit."

At this moment Qi Guohui's mind is still fairly clear, he said: "I heard Su Yang's relationship with Mayor Wang is not ordinary, otherwise he wouldn't dare to be so overbearing in our county."

"Also, that Chen Bo came from the Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, and I heard his relationship with Minister Lu is ambiguous? What if Mayor Wang and Minister Lu oppose?"
