Chapter 658 – Wang Anshi is sick
Afternoon.
It rained for a while and stopped.
A rainbow appears after the rain.
District Party Committee, Party Secretary Office. Wang Anshi stood by the window in his office, looking out. He is on the phone with a City Government Leader.
“Mayor Zhou, this matter….”
“Xiao Wang, was this decided by the Party School’s Deputy Principal?”
“I am not sure about this. But it was the Party School that called us.”
“Dong Xuebing…. Dong Xuebing…. I have never heard of this name before.”
The other party has not heard of Dong Xuebing and doesn’t know about his background. Wang Anshi hung up the call in a bad mood. Until now, he still doesn’t know which City Leader is helping Dong Xuebing.
Wang Anshi had not expected Dong Xuebing to have connections in the City Government. He thought Dong Xuebing didn’t have strong background here. That’s why even after Dong Xuebing had treated his appendicitis, he still feels Xue Qingrong was more important. He should pacify Xue Qingrong and thought nothing about Dong Xuebing’s favor. He is the District’s No. 1 and Dong Xuebing’s Leader. As his subordinate, Dong Xuebing must follow his orders and do everything for him. So, he sends Dong Xuebing to the Party School.
Is this too much?
No.
Wang Anshi felt this was normal. He can’t be helping everyone who did him a favor. How will he work if he considers everyone’s feelings and returns favors?
Wang Anshi felt Dong Xuebing had crossed the line by going against him and using his City Government connections to slap him. He felt it was right for him to do whatever he wanted with Dong Xuebing because he is the District’s No. 1. Dong Xuebing can only swallow whatever grievances. He cannot retaliate. That will be a revolution! That will be disrespecting him!
Wang Anshi is furious by what Dong Xuebing did.
But someone in the City Government firmly protects Dong Xuebing, and Wang Anshi doesn’t know who this person is. He feels stressed and knows he can’t touch Dong Xuebing for the time being. He got to give that person in the City Government ‘face,’ but he will not forget this incident. He will find another opportunity to deal with Dong Xuebing in the future.
Wang Anshi’s character is overbearing, and he will never admit he is wrong. Once he decides on something, he will not give up.
After lunch, Wang Anshi called the City Government again to ask about Dong Xuebing.
The two City Government Leaders, which Wang Anshi is familiar with, have not heard of Dong Xuebing. This is frustrating, but he also felt better. If Dong Xuebing has someone powerful in the City Government, that person should be helping him to get a transfer now. After all, he had offended Wang Anshi and the rest of the District Leaders. That’s no way he will remain in Nan Shan District. But Wang Anshi did not hear anything about anyone trying to help Dong Xuebing get a transfer. This means that person is not someone powerful within the City Government. He doesn’t have the authority to transfer Dong Xuebing.
Wang Anshi felt better and determined to get rid of Dong Xuebing.
How can someone who becomes the District Party Secretary not have any backings in the City Government? Wang Anshi will not back down from just a warning as this is not his character.
Wang Anshi gripped the edge of his desk hard.
Getting disgraced by a lowly Subdistrict Office Director had made him a laughing stock. He must do something to Dong Xuebing.
The conclusion Wang Anshi gotten after analyzing this incident is the Leader behind Dong Xuebing doesn’t have much authority.
Anyone in Wang Anshi’s shoes will think this way. But Dong Xuebing is someone who behaves conventionally. He didn’t follow the rules and didn’t think like other Government Officials. Wang Anshi and other District Leaders can never understand what he is thinking. He is not transferred because Yang Zhaode doesn’t have the authority. It is because Dong Xuebing wants to remain in the District to piss them off. Only Dong Xuebing, who thinks like a hooligan, will do this.
Afternoon.
Wang Anshi left his office to inspect the different departments.
“Secretary.”
“Secretary Wang.”
Everyone quickly greeted Wang Anshi when they saw him. But they are looking at him differently.
Wang Anshi knows this is because Dong Xuebing’s incident had spread. Everyone is laughing at him in the District. Immediately, his anger boils again. Suddenly, he turned pale and clenched his stomach. His anger had triggered his appendicitis, and sweat rolled down from his forehead. He supported himself against the wall and slowly sat down on the floor.
“Argh……”
Wang Anshi’s appendicitis is back again.
Wang Anshi thought he had fully recovered after Dong Xuebing’s treatment. But Dong Xuebing had only used REVERSE to push back appendicitis three to four days ago. This is only a delay, and it will happen again.
“Secretary Wang! Secretary Wang!”
“Are you Ok? Do you have medication with you?”
“Hurry and call for an ambulance!”
The corridor was in chaos, and some Leaders rushed over to help.
Wang Anshi is covered in sweat and is pressing against his stomach.
The ambulance arrived. Secretary Cang and a few District Party Committee Leaders helped Wang Anshi into the ambulance.
Nan Shan District First Hospital.
Secretary Cang quickly called the hospital to make arrangements.
The hospital immediately sends a Deputy Hospital Director and a few Department Chiefs to attend Wang Anshi.
But Wang Anshi pushed them away. “I don’t need any operation and doesn’t need to be put on a drip. Do you all have any Chinese Traditional Doctors who know about acupoint massage? I will be fine after a massage.” He was put on a drip and given medication previously, but it was not effective. This time, he doesn’t want to waste time.
Chinese acupoint massage?
The Deputy Hospital Director is shocked. “But your condition is….”
Wang Anshi interrupted. “I just need a Chinese acupoint massage!”
Secretary Cang is close to Wang Anshi and had heard that Dong Xuebing had used acupoint massage to treat this illness. He also felt that a professional masseuse should be better if someone like Dong Xuebing could treat this illness with a massage. “Hurry and make the arrangements.”
The Deputy Hospital Director helplessly replied. “Alright.”
Wang Anshi was sent to a ward, and the Deputy Hospital Director and other doctors looked at each other.
“Are we going to do that?”
“Massage will not help for such conditions.”
“Alright. Call Doctor Xu to come over.”
The District Party Secretary wanted massage treatment, and the Doctors couldn’t say anything.
Doctor Xu was summoned to the ward and was told about Wang Anshi’s condition. He almost fainted when he heard the Deputy Hospital Director and other Department Chiefs wanted him to treat Wang Anshi’s condition using acupoint massage. Are you kidding me? Acupoint massage can relieve the pain from appendicitis, but that will depend on the patient. Secretary Wang is in a serious condition and has had this condition for almost a year. His appendicitis had caused him to have a high fever now. How am I supposed to treat this condition with acupoint massage? I am not god. I can’t perform miracles!
Doctor Xu said. “Director Chen, I am powerless to do anything. Massage will not be effective in this situation. An operation is needed.”
“Secretary Wang has diabetes, and it is risky for him to undergo operations.” Deputy Hospital Director knows what Doctor Xu is thinking. “Xiao Xu, don’t think too much. Just try it.”
“Alright.”
Hospital ward.
Doctor Xu enters the ward. “Good afternoon, Secretary Wang. I am a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.”
Wang Anshi brightens up. “Sorry to bother you. Argh….. it’s too painful…. please start the massage now.”
Doctor Xu nodded and asked a nurse to remove Secretary Wang’s shoes and socks.
“Why are you taking off my shoes?” Wang Anshi asked in pain. “Shouldn’t you be massaging the area around my appendix?” Dong Xuebing had massaged that area previously.
It’s Doctor Xu to be stun. “The traditional Chinese massage treatment for appendicitis massages the acupoints on the sole. It shouldn’t be massaging the appendix area.”
Wang Anshi clenched his teeth. “Someone had treated me by massaging my appendix area previously.”
Doctor Xu finally understood why Secretary Wang asked for an acupoint massage treatment. “But our massage treatments are massaging the acupoints on the soles.”
Wang Anshi is in pain and couldn’t care. “Just try all your massage techniques. Hurry up!”
The Doctor started massaging Wang Anshi’s soles and massaging his stomach area as instructed.
