Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 514 Zeng Wensheng, who survived a great calamity, loves power more than life itself and refu

Yanjing Union Hospital.

After several days of observation, treatment, and expert evaluation.

Zeng Wensheng, whose condition had improved, was finally transferred to the VIP ward.

Upon learning the news, Zeng Weili naturally rushed over immediately.

Although she had long since recovered, she was unable to leave the hospital due to the overall quarantine measures in place.

Even if visits are permitted, people are now required to wear masks at all times and are absolutely not allowed to take them off.

Looking at my father, who had become much thinner, on the hospital bed.

Zeng Weili's nose immediately stung, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"dad!!!"

A call.

Zeng Weili quickly stepped forward.

Unable to hold back, she threw herself onto her father and burst into tears.

Having grown up in luxury, she lived a comfortable and carefree life for over thirty years.

I never dreamed that my life would have its darkest moment.

At first, she thought it was just a minor cold, or at most a severe case of the flu.

Not only did they fail to take it seriously, but they also relied on their years of medical training to believe that they could tough it out.

Who knew it wasn't the flu at all!

The more she tried to endure it, the worse it got. The persistent dry cough, chest tightness, and weakness made her feel like she was really going to die.

But as a member of a powerful and wealthy family, she certainly didn't want to die.

She hasn't married Dou Jiansheng yet, nor has she gone on her round-the-world honeymoon.

Furthermore, they did not rely on the powerful backgrounds of both families to rise rapidly within the system.

The more you don't want to die, the more you are tormented by illness and feel like you're living a life worse than death.

After enduring excruciating pain for many days, my condition finally improved, and I saw hope for survival.

Unexpectedly, her father, who was the pillar of the family and doted on her, suffered a worsening of his condition and was on the verge of death.

From the moment her father was rushed to the hospital, Zeng Weili lived in constant fear.

She wasn't particularly saddened when her grandparents and maternal grandparents passed away in their old age.

When her father was critically ill and his life was in danger at any moment, she finally experienced firsthand the fear of separation from her father.

She was not only worried about losing her father and family after his death, but also worried that without her powerful father, her future life would no longer be smooth sailing.

What worried her even more was that shortly after her father fell ill, the higher authorities officially implemented strict prevention and control measures, one of which was the closure of several major hospitals with a large number of cases.

Ever since.

Zeng Weili was already very worried and scared because she couldn't see her father. Her relatives and friends outside couldn't come to the hospital to accompany her, so that she could have some psychological comfort.

The father and daughter were in the same hospital, but they could never see each other.

If I hadn't inquired every day and learned that my father's condition was steadily improving...

Zeng Weili must have been going crazy with frustration for a long time.

At this moment.

Upon seeing her father, who was out of danger, she, who had been holding back her emotions for far too long, naturally couldn't help but burst into tears.

And Zeng Wensheng, who was lying down, had also been living in fear and trepidation for many days.

He was used to wielding great power, being high above others, and being admired by countless people.

Even on holidays, I enjoy chatting with family and friends about work and relish the feeling of being in charge.

It was precisely because he was unwilling to relinquish power, not even for a single day, that he wanted to tough it out even when he was sick and refused to go to the hospital.

He was eventually sent to the hospital because he was in critical condition; if he hadn't received treatment, he probably would have died soon.

When being rescued, one is naturally unconscious. Waking up and lying in the intensive care unit, finding oneself connected to various tubes, is a time of fear and unease, a time when each day feels like an eternity.

At first, Tsang Man-sang was very worried that she might die.

Although there will be a high-level funeral when someone dies, what's the use of such a high level of funeral if your own people are dead?

Even if hundreds of millions of people weep and mourn him, he cannot be brought back to life and continue to hold power.

After death, people tend to drift apart, and friends and family can no longer rely on them, hindering their work and life.

Then, as the number of tubes in his body decreased, he gradually regained his ability to eat and drink.

Zeng Wensheng was no longer afraid of death, but began to worry about whether he would be sidelined during his hospitalization.

Ge Junshan, who was abandoned by his followers and resigned in disgrace last year, is the most direct and realistic example.

When Ge Junshan was still alive and healthy, he still had power and influence, and was able to make some adjustments and responses.

However, after the man was injured during his illness and was hospitalized for a long time, his condition deteriorated rapidly.

His rivals really took advantage of his weakness, almost forcing Ge Junshan to retire early.

and so……

In the 'isolated' intensive care unit.

Not only could they not receive any information from the outside world, but they were also unable to issue any instructions.

The medical staff in the hospital are so busy saving lives and treating patients that they don't have time to pass on messages for themselves.

Zeng Wensheng was naturally very worried that he would end up like Ge Junshan, saving his life but losing his power.

Living in constant fear, he repeatedly claimed that his health had improved and requested to be transferred out of the intensive care unit to free up a bed for other critically ill patients who needed it more.

He was finally released today.

She had so much to say, but her daughter threw herself at her and burst into tears the moment they met.

It is said that daughters are their fathers' little cotton-padded jackets, their little sweethearts from a past life.

When his daughter started crying, Zeng Wensheng couldn't hold back either, and his eyes quickly welled up with tears.

"Okay, okay, stop crying!"

"The patient has just been transferred out of the ICU and is not in particularly good condition!"

"Miss Zeng, stop crying, get up! Don't disturb your father's rest!"

Upon hearing the nurse's words of encouragement, Zeng Wensheng immediately opened his eyes.

She still had so many questions to ask her daughter, and she couldn't let her keep crying, nor could she let the medical staff kick her out.

"Vili! Vili!"

"Don't cry, sweet child, don't cry!"

"Isn't Daddy perfectly fine? Stand up quickly, let Daddy take a good look at you!"

Zeng Weili sobbed as she slowly got up, wiping away her tears with a pitiful expression.

Seeing that her daughter had not only not lost weight after her serious illness, but had actually gained weight, she was very happy.

Zeng Wensheng didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

However, it doesn't matter how old or overweight my daughter is.

Anyway, Dou Jiansheng had already confirmed their relationship, and they originally planned to get married on May Day.

Even if plans can't keep up with changes, as long as he doesn't die and the Zeng family doesn't fall into decline, his daughter won't have trouble finding a husband.

Even without Dou Jiansheng's impeccable political background and desire for a political marriage, countless men from humble origins who aspire to rise in social standing would still be willing to marry her.

Are you completely healed?

"I'm all better now, completely normal. It's just that I'm in quarantine at the hospital and can't leave. How about you? How are you feeling?"

"I should be fine soon, I just don't have much energy and cough occasionally. I should be able to recover in another two or three days."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Wensheng couldn't help but cough twice.

Zeng Weili thought her father was hinting at something, and immediately glanced at the medical staff.

"You all go out first, I'm going to talk to my dad for a bit!"

"Don't worry, it definitely won't take more than ten minutes, and I won't take off my mask!"

After the medical staff left, Zeng Weili quickly pulled up a chair and sat down by the hospital bed.

"Dad, you really need to get better soon!"

"The very night you were admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment, General Manager Xu held an emergency meeting."

"Then that very night, a temporary joint command was established, and various measures were subsequently taken..."

Zeng Wensheng smiled faintly.

Everything his daughter told him was exactly what he had expected.

In fact, ever since his daughter became so ill that she had to be hospitalized, he already knew that this infectious disease was no small matter and that it had to be prevented and controlled.

However, in order to avoid affecting the normal convening of the conference and to avoid causing more serious panic, he wanted to postpone it and wait and see.

What if the mortality rate for this disease is very low?

What if medical institutions and medical companies find a way to cure the disease quickly?

Harboring a侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking), Zeng Wensheng has been trying his best to delay and even obstruct prevention and control efforts.

This conference was especially crucial, and he didn't want the personnel arrangements, which had been the subject of much negotiation, to ultimately go awry.

Therefore, he forcibly dragged it out until the end of the conference. At the moment when he himself could no longer hold on and fell ill, he already wanted to take immediate action to prevent and control the epidemic.

As for the current prevention and control measures, he was naturally already well aware of them.

Whether it's formally including the disease in the category of infectious diseases and requiring all regions to respond in accordance with laws and regulations, or launching a large-scale wartime mobilization to concentrate resources from all aspects, including propaganda, medical care, and military, to fight a decisive battle.

They even used this crisis to suspend Health Minister Peng Zhechuan and others for their poor handling of the initial outbreak, in an effort to appease public anger. At the same time, they urgently promulgated new regulations, which clearly stipulated the response and handling of public health emergencies.

Various measures and methods.

Zeng Wensheng had already read the prevention and control proposal report from Handong Province, and having been in the system for many years, he was too familiar with the methods of struggle, so he was not surprised at all.

He had long anticipated that Handong, which had been very active and proactive in the early stages, would definitely contribute manpower, resources, and supplies to help Zhao Lichun, who had once been the top leader of Handong, turn the tide.

As for Zhao Lichun's beloved son, Zhao Ruilong, the behind-the-scenes boss of Huilong Group, it goes without saying that he will definitely take this opportunity to use his resources to make his father stand out.

Zeng Wensheng didn't even need to ask her daughter to find them; she could guess that there would be many reports about Zhao Lichun in various TV news, newspapers, magazines, websites, and forums.

For example, he will definitely have those who are not afraid of danger and personally go to the front line to command, those who care about the people and medical staff and visit and comfort them on the front line, and those who are still holding meetings late at night to study and deploy plans...

Zeng Wensheng, who has personally experienced how to shape a character's image, publicize their deeds, and use crises to highlight their sense of mission and responsibility, so as to move people from all walks of life and the general public, is all too familiar with these methods.

Especially back then, when Zhao Lichun had not yet become the top leader of Handong and was still openly and secretly fighting with Liang Qunfeng.

A large-scale mining accident suddenly occurred in Lincheng City, Handong.

How did Zhao Lichun win the hearts of the people?

Rushing to the scene overnight to direct the rescue was simply his job as governor.

But recording his tireless work and adding some heart-wrenching background music would be incredibly touching.

Especially as the governor, he participated in the rescue covered in mud and comforted the families of the mine victims with tears in his eyes. Which ordinary person wouldn't be moved by that?

At such a critical juncture, how could a good cadre who always stands with the people not go further and become the top leader of Handong so as to better serve the people?

therefore.

To continue making progress, he must maintain his public persona and continue to leverage his son Zhao Ruilong's wealth, skills, and expertise in marketing and hype to cultivate a positive image of being approachable and caring for the people.

However, simply eliminating harm for the people, eradicating the long-standing and rampant drug production den in Tazhai Village, and exposing a large number of corrupt officials behind the scenes is clearly not enough to win the people's applause and recognition of him as the newly appointed Director of Public Security, who punishes evil and eliminates wickedness with swift and decisive methods.

This infectious disease crisis, which has caused widespread fear and anxiety and has indeed seriously threatened people's lives and health and affected the order of production and life, can naturally become an opportunity for him to shine.
