Chapter 217 Invitation & Visit
The New Year's Day holiday was approaching, and when Gu Qingyu returned to the dormitory that day, she was stopped by the Yuan sisters.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingyu asked curiously as she looked at the Yuan sisters who stopped her.
Yuan Lu pulled out an invitation from behind her and handed it to Gu Qingyu, saying, "New Year's Day is my cousin's birthday. We will hold a birthday party at home. Please come and play!"
After almost a semester of getting used to each other, the relationship between Gu Qingyu and the Yuan sisters has eased a lot.
Gu Qingyu reached out to take the invitation and said with emotion, "Yuan Man's birthday is on New Year's Day!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Man smiled and nodded to Gu Qingyu, and said, "Because it's my 20th birthday, my family is planning to hold a birthday party for me. I hope I can invite my roommates to come and celebrate with me!"
Since Yuan Man said so, Gu Qingyu smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will definitely be there on time!"
The day after Gu Qingyu agreed to Yuan Man’s birthday invitation, the Red Star Food Factory called Gu Qingyu.
"Director Gu, there's something I might need your help to solve!" Director Wang on the other end of the phone said to Gu Qingyu rather embarrassedly.
Gu Qingyu was quite puzzled when she heard this. She was now a million miles away from the Red Star Food Factory. Even if the Red Star Food Factory encountered any difficulties, distant water could not quench immediate thirst. Why would Director Wang call her?
Although he was puzzled, Gu Qingyu still asked, "Director Wang, what exactly do you need my help with? Please tell me first."
"I wonder if you still remember Accountant Wu?" asked Director Wang on the other end of the phone.
Gu Qingyu was stunned when he heard this, "Accountant Wu? Of course I remember that!"
"When I first came to Beijing, I visited the Yuan family on behalf of our Red Star Food Factory. Has something happened to the Wu family again?"
"Accountant Wu's wife called the factory for help, saying that their son and elderly father were hit by a truck while out and about. They are now in the hospital and desperately need help. She hopes the factory can step in and help."
Listening to Director Wang's description on the other end of the phone, Gu Qingyu's heart skipped a beat. From the tone of his voice, he was afraid that the child and the elderly were not in good condition.
"What is the factory's current plan?" Gu Qingyu asked Director Wang on the other end of the phone.
"After our factory became profitable, we established a relief fund. People like Accountant Wu's family can apply for relief funds."
"It's just that it'll probably take two or three days for our people to get there. I'm afraid something might happen in those two or three days, so I'd like to ask Director Gu to take the trouble to look after it for a while. Is that okay?"
Human lives were at stake, so Gu Qingyu agreed without hesitation. "Okay, I'll be there as soon as I hang up!"
Upon hearing this, Director Wang on the other end of the phone quickly thanked Gu Qingyu, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Gu!"
"Don't worry, the people arranged by the factory will leave this afternoon!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyu packed up and rushed to the county hospital in the suburbs of Beijing, hoping that the grandfather and grandson of the Wu family could survive!
In fact, Gu Qingyu had another purpose in going there, which was to find Accountant Wu’s wife to sound out the truth. He wanted to know who was the person behind the scenes that Accountant Wu did not reveal when he was critically ill?
When Gu Qingyu went to deliver the condolence money for the first time, I met Accountant Wu’s wife. She was very cautious and kept silent about all of Gu Qingyu’s attempts.
I hope that by helping out this time, I can find out some useful information!
Outside the intensive care unit of a county hospital in the suburbs of Beijing, Accountant Wu’s wife Chen Guifen leaned against the door of the intensive care unit with a dazed look on her face.
With a heavy creaking sound, the door of the intensive care unit opened!
Chen Guifen was startled by the sound of the door opening. When she came to her senses, she saw Dr. Liu, who performed surgery on her son, coming out.
Chen Guifen didn't care about her legs that had already gone numb from squatting. She stumbled over and grabbed Dr. Liu's arm. She asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my Xiaohai? Is he awake?"
Doctor Liu looked at the disheveled Chen Guifen and shook his head at her with a feeling of pity. "Xiao Hai's mother, don't worry. I just checked Xiao Hai's various indicators, and he's recovering well so far!"
It has been four days since Xiao Hai was sent to the intensive care unit, and this is what Dr. Liu says every time he comes out.
Chen Guifen didn't want to hear it at all. She just wanted to know when her son would wake up.
Today is already the fifth day, and Dr. Liu said the same thing as in the previous few days. Chen Guifen's nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She wailed and knelt down with Dr. Liu's coat on, sobbing earnestly, "Doctor, will my Xiao Hai ever wake up? Please tell me the truth!"
Dr. Liu was startled by Chen Guifen's sudden kneeling action. After reacting, Dr. Liu hurried forward and grabbed Chen Guifen's arm, trying to pull her up.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Dr. Liu tried, he couldn't pull up the emotionally broken Chen Guifen.
Seeing that he couldn't pull Chen Guifen, Dr. Liu could only persuade her from the side, "Xiao Hai's mother, you have to have faith in our doctors. Judging from Xiao Hai's current recovery, there is still a great hope that he will wake up!"
Unfortunately, Chen Guifen had heard such words so many times that her ears were callused. She had gone from being full of hope to despair!
When Gu Qingyu rushed to the county hospital in the suburbs of Beijing, what he saw was Chen Guifen lying on the ground crying in despair.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyu hurried over and asked softly to Chen Guifen, who was still lying on the ground, "Sister-in-law Guifen, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Guifen was immersed in her own desperate thoughts and didn't notice Gu Qingyu's arrival and questions at all.
Gu Qingyu frowned upon seeing this. She stepped forward, grabbed Chen Guifen's arm, and pulled her up. She asked again, "Sister-in-law Guifen, what happened?"
With Gu Qingyu's pulling and tugging, Chen Guifen finally came out of her thoughts.
Looking at the familiar young figure in front of her, she thought for a long time before she remembered that this person was the leader of her family's Lao Wu factory, and he had come to their house to express his condolences before!
"Gu... Director Gu, is that you?" Chen Guifen asked Gu Qingyu uncertainly.
Hearing this, Gu Qingyu nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, it's me! The factory received your request for help and asked me to come over to see what's going on and see if there's anything I can do to help you."
Seeing Gu Qingyu nod, Chen Guifen grabbed Gu Qingyu's hand and said in tears, "Director Gu... you are finally here... My Xiaohai was hit by a car..."
"He's still in the intensive care unit and hasn't woken up yet. What should we do now?"
"The old man and Xiao Hai had an accident together. Both of his legs were broken by a truck. Now he is lying in bed!"
Seeing Chen Guifen crying like a child, Gu Qingyu had to interrupt her sobbing, "Sister-in-law Guifen, please stop crying. Let me talk to the doctor about the patient's condition first, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guifen tried hard to suppress her tears, nodded to Gu Qingyu, then walked to her old seat and sat down by the door of the intensive care unit.
After seeing that Chen Guifen was able to control her emotions, Gu Qingyu turned to look at Dr. Liu who was standing awkwardly beside her.
"Hello, doctor. I'd like to ask you about the condition of patient Wu Shaohai."
Doctor Liu, who had been standing nearby, already knew who Gu Qingyu was. Hearing the other party ask questions, he quickly explained, "The patient suffered a severe intracranial hemorrhage due to a car accident and was sent here for a craniotomy!"
"After the operation, we successfully controlled the patient's intracranial hemorrhage. From the postoperative observation of the patient in the intensive care unit, all of the patient's indicators have stabilized!"
After hearing this, Gu Qingyu had a general understanding of Yuan Shaohai's condition. So, she asked, "Doctor Liu, based on your experience, what is the probability that Wu Shaohai will regain consciousness?"
"The patient's current coma is actually a form of self-protection by the body. Judging from the current indicators, there is a high possibility that Wu Shaohai will regain consciousness!"
"So, at this time, the patient's family members must not be anxious. They must have confidence in the patient and the medical skills of our doctors!"
When Dr. Liu said this, he also looked at Chen Guifen deliberately. It was obvious that he was talking to Chen Guifen.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu smiled and thanked Dr. Liu, then walked up to Chen Guifen and stood in front of her again.
"Sister-in-law Guifen, you heard what the doctor just said. As the patient's family, we must remain calm and listen to the doctor. Do you understand?"
Chen Guifen lowered her head in shame when she heard this. She didn't know what she was thinking. At that moment, her emotions suddenly broke down and she couldn't stop crying.
"Director Gu, I understand! From now on, I will definitely listen to the doctor and wait for my little Hai to wake up!"
After seeing that Chen Guifen had recovered her spirits, Gu Qingyu stopped talking about this topic.
"Sister Guifen, after receiving your call for help, the factory specially took out some money from the relief fund, and also took out your pension for the next year, and asked me to send it to you!"
As she spoke, Gu Qingyu took out a thick envelope from her bag and handed it to Chen Guifen.
Chen Guifen looked at the thick envelope that Gu Qingyu handed over, took it with trembling hands, and said with a sob, "Xiao Hai and the old man's hospitalization have used up most of our family's money. This money is really timely for our family."
"Thank you, factory, and leaders!"
Chen Guifen was about to kneel down before Gu Qingyu when she saw this. Seeing this, Gu Qingyu quickly pulled her up and asked, trying to change the subject, "I heard that the old man was seriously injured. I'm going to go see him!"
Chen Guifen's face immediately turned bitter upon hearing this, and she sighed, "The old man is so old, and now he's lying in bed unable to move. He's suffered a lot!"
Gu Qingyu asked with concern, "Grandpa, is there anyone at home to take care of you in this situation?"
"The old lady passed away a few years ago. I can't take care of Xiaohai in his current condition. There are no other relatives at home, so I can only pay people from the village to come and take care of him!"
Gu Qingyu felt sympathetic when he heard this! He stepped forward, patted Chen Guifen on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "At least your life is saved, but it will be fine during this period of time!"
"If you have any difficulties at home, please feel free to ask. The factory will definitely help if we can!"
Chen Guifen nodded when she heard this, and took Gu Qingyu to Old Man Yuan's ward.
After comforting Old Man Yuan, Gu Qingyu tentatively asked, "Xiao Hai and the old man were hit by a car. How is the police investigation going? Has the driver been caught?"
Chen Guifen shook her head blankly upon hearing this and said to Gu Qingyu, "I've been busy taking care of the old and the young these days, and I haven't gone to the police station to inquire whether the person has been caught."
Thinking that Chen Guifen had been busy at the hospital recently, she was afraid that she would not be able to spare any time to attend to the matter. So, Gu Qingyu said, "In that case, how about I go to the police station to get some information for you?"
Chen Guifen agreed to Gu Qingyu's suggestion without giving it much thought. "Director Gu, could you please go to the police station and ask?"
"Then I'll go to the police station to inquire about the news. You can rest assured and take care of your family in the hospital!"
After saying goodbye to Chen Guifen, Gu Qingyu turned around and went to the Beijing suburban police station to inquire about the situation.
Just now when Gu Qingyu was chatting with Mr. Wu in the ward, he heard him mention that the large truck was driving towards the two of them at a very high speed. After hitting them, the truck did not get out of the car to check and drove away from the scene of the accident directly.
After listening to Mr. Wu's description, Gu Qingyu's first reaction was that this car was targeting the Wu family's grandparents and grandchildren, so she volunteered to come to the police station to inquire about the situation.
When the police officer in charge of the case heard Gu Qingyu coming to inquire about the case of the Wu family's grandfather and grandson being hit by a car, he looked at Gu Qingyu curiously and asked, "Who are you to the Wu family?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu took out the power of attorney she had just asked Chen Guifen to sign and handed it to the police officer opposite. Then she slowly explained, "Chen Guifen's late husband was an accountant at the Red Star Food Factory in Xinhu City. I used to be the director and secretary of the Red Star Food Factory, but after the college entrance examination was resumed, I came to Beijing to study in college!"
"Well, after the Wu family got into trouble, Chen Guifen called the Red Star Food Factory for help. Because the two places are quite far apart, the people from the Red Star Food Factory couldn't get here in time, so they asked me to come over first to see if there was anything I could do to help."
The police officer opposite nodded in understanding after hearing Gu Qingyu's explanation. He returned Chen Guifen's letter of authorization to Gu Qingyu and said, "So that's how it is. But you, the factory director and secretary, are quite young."
In response to this question, Gu Qingyu just smiled helplessly, and then she changed the topic to the Yuan family's car accident.
"From the evidence collected at the scene, it seems that the truck noticed a pedestrian ahead and simply crashed into them without braking. From this point of view, this doesn't seem like an ordinary traffic accident!"
Gu Qingyu's face grew heavy when she heard this. She thought of the death of Accountant Wu, the results of the investigation in Xinhu, and the inexplicable disappearance of Yang Liu.
I wonder if what happened to the Wu family’s grandparents and grandchildren was related to the other party!
