Chapter 132 A Clown
Li Baoer feels warm in her heart. She nods, “Be careful in the military exercises. Be safe. It is said that it permits a death rate of 3%.” Kai told her that. When she heard it, it takes several days for her to get over these words painfully.
Now, she speaks out the words again. She feels that there seem to be a thorn in her heart which can’t be got rid of.
Dai Zhongheng laughs and pats on her hand, “Silly Girl, that’s what the rules say. Actually, in the exercises all these years, no accident has ever happened. Don’t worry.” He comforts her. He has been aware of what she is thinking about from her expression and tone.
“Hum. I don’t worry. I don’t worry.” Li Baoer says and she tells herself in her heart that, too, but actually, she is still worried, feeling her heart floating.
They were talking when Dai Zhongheng’s correspondent Kai comes in, “Commander, the Deputy Director of the Urban Construction Bureau is here.”
Li Baoer and Dai Zhongheng exchange a knowing glance.
“Hum, ask him to come in.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Kai goes out and soon, a fat-bellied man of middle age comes in, followed by a good-looking woman of good shape. Seemingly, she is his a.s.sistant. The man has a red face. He must lead a very comfortable life.
When he sees Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer, the man opens his mouth to smile, “Commander Dai, Miss Li.”
Li Baoer twitches her mouth. The Deputy Director’s smile looks so false that it disgusts her.
The Deputy Director finds no response from them and his smile freezes. He makes an embarra.s.sed cough lightly. The beautiful a.s.sistant hurriedly takes the expensive gift and walks to Dai Zhongheng and Li Baoer. She puts the gifts aside, “Sorry, Miss Li. Our Director feels very sorry for what happened to you. He takes some time from his busy work and comes to see you. Based on the difficulties at work for our Director and you, we hope Miss Li can kindly understand that it is also hard for our Director.”
The beautiful a.s.sistant officially speaks a lot. Li Baoer feels it ridiculous.
She really can’t understand the official formula. She believes that those working in the circle are all good at acting.
Li Baoer wants to speak, but Dai Zhongheng responds first, “The Director is so busy, there is really no need for him to come here to see Baoer. Baoer has got a lot of distinguished visitors today, one or two less is fine.”
Dai Zhongheng says heartlessly. The beautiful a.s.sistant is shocked blankly at once.
Ever since she has worked for the Deputy Director, no one dares to embarra.s.s her, not to mention talking to her in this way.
She glances at her director stealthily. He looks more embarra.s.sed. Then, she knows that the condition is unusual. Honestly, for all these years, it is the first time for her to see the director willing to visit a patient.
Anyway, the man in front of them must have a superior background.
“Commander, to tell the truth, when our director got the news about Miss Li, he came back from another place hurriedly. Our director pays great attention to this issue…”
“Woman, get your formula away. I don’t understand and I don’t like to listen to you!” Not waiting for the a.s.sistant to finish her words, Dai Zhongheng interrupts impatiently. He looks at the Deputy Director, “If you two come here to say these words, well, Baoer has just finished the operation, she needs to rest. You may leave.”
“Ah. Commander Dai, please don’t be angry.” The man comes to him hurriedly and smiles, “a.s.sistant Li is a newcomer. She is too young and doesn’t know how to speak properly. Please don’t mind. Hahaha.”
Dai Zhongheng blinks his eyes and says frankly, “Deputy Director, didn’t you say that you required a response about Baoer within today? I was thinking of calling you. Unexpectedly, you are here now. Please tell me, what kind of response do you want? Can Baoer’s current condition be a response for you?”
The two successive questions are asked and the Deputy Director is wordless. a.s.sistant Li realizes the condition is not good. She says, “Commander, our director is very concerned about Miss Li’s issue. He has just got off the plane. Though we said we wanted a response, we have come here. Commander, you have to understand…”
“What happens to you girl? Why do you speak so much?” a.s.sistant Li is interrupted again, this time by the Deputy Director.
Unexpectedly, her own superior will shout at her. a.s.sistant Li is shocked. It seems that the Deputy Director is really angry.
After shouting at the a.s.sistant, the Deputy Director turns to smile at Dai Zhongheng, “What response is needed? This little girl is just making nonsense. I heard that Miss Li had had an accident. I was very worried. So, I came here once I got off the plane.”
He pauses here and turns to Li Baoer, “Baoer, I sincerely apologize for what I said days ago. Please don’t mind. Let’s get over this problem. OK? We say here and we get it clear here. After you recover, you may arrange another time for my exclusive interview. Is that OK?”
Li Baoer doesn’t understand the official formula, but even a fool can get the meaning of the Deputy Director. Li Baoer knows that he has shown his att.i.tude. As he is a senior officer, if not because of Dai Zhongheng, the problem can’t be solved so easily.
“OK. Thank you. Deputy Director.” Li Baoer responds in a weak voice.
“Hahaha, you are really a good girl. Commander Dai is lucky to have you.”
Dai Zhongheng freezes his face, “Baoer’s accident happened on the way to the Urban Construction Bureau. The next arrangement for exclusive interview needs to be in one month.”
The Deputy Director is slightly shocked. Then he says, “OK. OK. I agree with Commander Dai’s arrangement. Miss Li needs to rest. Whenever is OK.”
When they are talking, the patient room is opened. Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning and a.s.sistant Su come in.
Seeing Yi Yunrui and a.s.sistant Su, the Deputy Director’s eyes turn bright. He hurriedly comes to them and holds out his hands to shake hands with a.s.sistant Su warmly. He speaks the fluent official formula and a.s.sistant Su also responds officially. Xia Ning listens to them and feels confused.
“h.e.l.lo, Commander.” The Deputy Director also holds out his hands to Yi Yunrui with a big smile on his face.
Yi Yunrui turns his eyes and nods emotionlessly. Not waiting for the response of the Deputy Director, he holds Xia Ning and walks to Li Baoer.
Seeing this, a.s.sistant Su also comes in and the shocked Deputy Director is left there. He is still holding out his hands, looking like a clown.
“Commander Dai.” Su Wen says, “I have just got the information that Wu Hua has been taken to the house of detention for questioning. This case will be handled by Director Huang himself. Commander Dai, are you satisfied with the result?”
