Chapter 443: Apology
“Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. This time, I’m giving you a chance because you’ve been working hard for so long! If you still mess up in the end, I’ll definitely put the blame on you! I don’t think you want to face such a situation, right?
In addition, I’ll say it again so that you won’t be fooled by others again! The lives and health of the people are more important than anything. When you do things, don’t just listen to orders from the higher-ups. You have to learn to think about the rationality of this matter! Pay attention to reality. The infectious disease this time is clearly spreading aggressively, but you guys are unwilling to make any decisions, as if you don’t see it!”
This directly pierced Chief Zhao and Chen Jianxin’s hearts. The old leader knew what they were thinking and was just short of laying bare the facts. This made them feel very embarrassed! Being criticized by their superiors like this made them even more determined not to make a mistake again!
They should know better than to do it again next time!
The old leader continued to reprimand, “I don’t want subordinates who only know how to obey! If that’s the case, why don’t I just operate a complete robot? Use your brains! It’s because you’re too lazy to think and don’t explore the truth that today’s tragedy happened!”
After a few words, his chest heaved violently. He was clearly very angry! Lu Ming handed him a fresh cup of tea very considerately and then helped him calm down. He said, “Don’t be too agitated. If anything happens to your health at this time, it will be troublesome.”
The old leader finally felt a little better. “Did you remember what I said just now? This is your last chance! I won’t let you make a second mistake, understand? When the time comes, don’t cry and beg me for mercy! Old Zhao, Old Chen, I think you already know my personality very well, right? If you do well, your guilt will be reduced. If you don’t…
Don’t ever appear in front of me again!”
At this point, Chief Zhao and Chen Jianxin immediately nodded like they were pounding garlic! They should be thanking the heavens for the current outcome. To them, this was the best outcome. At least they could still make a comeback, right? Hence, they couldn’t help but feel even more grateful to their old leader and Lu Ming!
“Thank you, thank you. We know what to do.”
When the old leader caught a glimpse of the two of them, he was even more speechless! Although they were nurtured by him, why didn’t he realize that this was all they had? He subconsciously knocked on the armrest and said, “Since you already know your mistake, why don’t you correct it? Could it be that I said it for nothing?”
Is he urging us to hurry back to work?
Chen Jianxin thought that he understood the other party’s true thoughts and blurted out, “No, no! We’ll make changes immediately when we get back! I’ll cooperate with Chief Zhao to deal with the infectious disease perfectly! If I fail, I’ll willingly resign from my position as the chief of the Import Bureau!”
“Me too! If I fail, I’ll resign from my position as chief of the Drug Administration without a word!”
Chief Zhao came back to his senses and quickly echoed.
Both of them looked determined. Just as they were about to leave, the old leader suddenly said, “Why are you leaving? Have you forgotten something? Is your memory worse than mine?”
What other things?
Didn’t they already finish? The two of them looked at each other and saw confusion on their faces. Before they could ask, they saw the old leader pat Lu Ming’s shoulder. The latter bowed slightly and asked curiously, “Old leader, do you have any orders?”
When the old leader saw this, he let out a long sigh and said, “This matter has never been fair to you. You’ve worked hard during this period of time. Time, energy, and money. I don’t think anyone has put in more effort than you. Coupled with their perfunctory attitude! Recently, I heard from Old Tang that you’ve been very angry during this period of time. Moreover, you’re worried about various things, so your sleep quality isn’t very good.
But what I can do now is the best solution. It’s been hard on you. I still have to trouble you to take care of two old fellows who are so much older than you. If this matter is settled like this, I won’t feel comfortable no matter what. So… Old Zhao, Old Chen, you owe Little Ming an apology!”
If it weren’t for Lu Ming’s insistence on investigating in-depth, and if Lu Ming hadn’t asked the doctors here to reach out and carry out rescue activities, he was sure that the number of busy people would definitely increase by more than two to three times! Lu Ming’s actions should be worthy of flowers and praise, but because of various matters, not only was he not treated like this, but he was also slandered online!
If it were anyone else, they probably would not have been able to hold on.
He looked at the two of them, who were still in a daze, and said, “Why? Do you want me to give you a demonstration? If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. If you say that it’s someone else’s order, do you think you can leave? Hurry up!”
“Huh? Oh! We didn’t mean that. We just didn’t react. Sorry!”
Chief Zhao scratched the back of his head. He and Chen Jianxin stood in front of Lu Ming very sincerely. Then Chief Zhao bowed 90 degrees and said tacitly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu! We have neglected you previously. If anything happens to you in the future, we will definitely do our best!”
“It won’t be a problem even if we go through hell!”
As if he was afraid that it was not enough, Chen Jianxin added another sentence to express his sincerity.
How could Lu Ming not know that the old leader was helping him to save face? His heart warmed. He was indeed his godfather’s friend. Fortunately, he didn’t go and question the old leader after he found out the partial truth. Otherwise, this would have been a big mistake! Thinking of this, he smiled and said, “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
“No problem!”
Chief Zhao and Chen Jianxin heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. Then they exchanged a few more pleasantries and left the private room without looking back. What a joke! We still have a lot of things to do! If we delay any longer, who knows what other tricks would happen! We have made a military pledge in front of the old leader!
In fact, they did not want the status that they had worked so hard for most of their lives to be wasted just like that! In the end, they even had to bear the infamy of being muddle-headed for the rest of their lives! Even if they wanted to retire, they had to wait until they reached the end of this position and then retire as a matter of course!
When there were only three people left in the private room, the old leader said meaningfully, “These few years when I wasn’t outside, did these demons and ghosts jump out!”
