Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1223 Understand the situation

Mei Ruxue thought about it and realized that her brother had indeed changed a lot recently, but it seemed that all the changes could not be simply attributed to the heart transplant.

Qiao Rulong has been through a lot in recent times, which can be regarded as the ups and downs of life for anyone. It is normal for his temperament to change. Mei Ruxue can understand that, but she cannot understand why her brother, who has always loved her, just spoke such bad words. Although it was spoken out of his mind, it still showed that deep down in his heart he did not regard her as a member of the Qiao family. Perhaps he just thought she was his father's illegitimate daughter.

Mei Ruxue said: "It's easy to recover from physical trauma, but it takes a long time to recover from psychological trauma. This setback is too heavy for Big Brother."

Qiao Laodao: "Everyone must be responsible for his own actions."

Mei Ruxue nodded: "Grandpa, I heard from Sister Qingya that Grandpa Ye has not been in good health recently."

Old Qiao pursed his lips and said, "It must be painful for an old man to send off a young man."

Mei Ruxue knew that there was a deep rift between the two families, and there were some questions she was not comfortable asking.

Old Qiao said: "We have been friends for most of our lives, but I never thought that we would become strangers when we grow old."

Mei Ruxue whispered, "Let's find a chance to talk and explain the misunderstanding."

Old Qiao shook his head and said, "It's hard to explain. Someone asked for my opinion on Changyuan's leaving the Development and Reform Commission. If I had said something to help him at the time, maybe he wouldn't have gone to the Disaster Reduction Commission, and the accident in Juzhou wouldn't have happened."

Mei Ruxue said: "You have already retired, so this matter cannot be blamed on you."

Old Qiao said, "I watched Changyuan and Changquan grow up, and I have feelings for them. Old Ye is a man who values ​​his reputation and is upright. He is determined not to use his influence to help his children. In fact, it is not about relatives who are selected. As long as the children are capable, why not help them? It was me who asked for Changquan to be transferred to Neon. Because of your brother and Qingya, our Qiao family owes the Ye family. I must show my sincerity to Old Ye."

Mei Ruxue knew all these things, but her grandfather had never mentioned them in front of her in the past. The fact that he brought them up now was enough to prove how much of a blow the deterioration in relations with the Ye family had dealt to her grandfather.

Qiao Laodao said: "The reason why Changyuan was transferred from the Development and Reform Commission is because he made mistakes in his work. The Dongzhou subway collapse incident revealed some problems. Someone has to take responsibility for these problems. If others want to move him, they must seek my opinion. After all, it was me who recommended him back then."

Mei Ruxue thought to herself that she really couldn't blame her grandfather for this matter. Of course, if her grandfather had insisted on protecting Ye Changyuan, perhaps what happened later would not have happened. However, after Qiao Rulong and Ye Qingya divorced, the Qiao family made financial compensation, and her grandfather helped Ye Changquan transfer to Neon. Normally, the two owed each other nothing.

Qiao Laodao: "Old Ye must be blaming me."

Mei Ruxue asked: "Why doesn't Grandpa Ye want to say it himself?"

Old Qiao said: "He has been like that all his life, always trying to save face but suffering in life. However, I am to blame for this matter because I think the initial decision to let Changyuan go to Huatou was inappropriate."

Mei Ruxue was startled. She did not look up at her grandfather. The real problem was here. If Ye Changyuan went to Huatou, with his level, he would definitely replace Wang Sixuan and become the helmsman of Huatou. If this was true, he would block her eldest brother's way forward.

After Old Man Qiao said this to his granddaughter, the depression that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was relieved a lot: "Xiaoxue, do you think Grandpa is too selfish?"

Mei Ruxue asked, "Is it your intention to go to the Disaster Reduction Committee?"

Old Qiao shook his head: "How could I possibly make such a suggestion?"

Mei Ruxue knew very well that if he did not come forward to defend his grandfather, it would mean tacit approval from others, so Ye Changyuan would leave the Development and Reform Commission. If it was just a job transfer, it would be nothing, and the Ye and Qiao families would not have developed to this point today, but Ye Changyuan happened to encounter an accident in his new job.

No one could remain indifferent to his son's death, especially a person like Mr. Ye. Although he had retired for a long time, he still had considerable influence. He played a role in Secretary Zhou's re-employment in the Disaster Reduction Committee. There were many rumors, most of which believed that Mr. Ye was dissatisfied with the head of the Civil Affairs Department, Tan Xinmin. In fact, the person Mr. Ye was really dissatisfied with was his old friend, Mr. Qiao.

Mei Ruxue asked: "Grandpa, why did you ask me to go to Dongzhou?"

  Mei Ruxue did not choose to go to Dongzhou on her own initiative, but it was her grandfather's idea. She was deeply puzzled by this. She left Dongzhou because her family wanted her to stay away from Xu Chunliang, but now her grandfather made such an arrangement. Isn't this contradictory? Aren't they afraid that her old love with Xu Chunliang will rekindle?

Old Qiao smiled and said, "Of course it's for your future. The establishment of Binhu New District in Dongzhou is a good opportunity for you. You have trained there before and are very familiar with the situation there. And Wang Jianming will definitely take care of you."

Mei Ruxue always felt that it was not that simple. Did grandpa place all the family's hopes on her because of her eldest brother's matter? In fact, there was always something she couldn't figure out in her heart. Why didn't grandpa let her change her surname and still let her take her mother's surname? I heard that it was because of her aunt Wang Siqi. But if grandpa insisted, her aunt would not dare to have any objection. Could it be that grandpa, like her eldest brother, never considered herself a member of the Qiao family in his heart?

Mei Ruxue said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Old Qiao stopped and looked at her with a complicated look: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let it go."

Xu Chunliang left Beijing early the next morning. While he was still on the train, Jiang Qiyong, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, called him and asked him to hurry back to work as the bureau had too much to do recently and he was overwhelmed.

Xu Chunliang smiled and joked with Jiang Qiyong: "Director Jiang, there are so many people in the bureau, why do you have to do it with me? Mobilize the others."

Jiang Qiyong said, "It really has to be you. I'm telling you the truth. Something happened. Qin Yujiao was taken away. Did you know that?"

Xu Chunliang really didn’t know about this: “Hasn’t she already resigned? She has nothing to do with the Civil Affairs Bureau anymore.”

"Why is it okay? Now is the time to settle scores. I think someone is going to be in trouble this time."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Who do you think is going to be unlucky?" Jiang Qiyong said, "It's not convenient to talk over the phone. When will you be back?"

Xu Chunliang told Jiang Qiyong the time the high-speed train would arrive, and Jiang Qiyong immediately expressed his willingness to pick him up in person.

Xu Chunliang told Jiang Qiyong not to bother him and that his car would be parked in the station parking lot. When he arrived in Dongzhou, he could go directly to his workplace to find him instead of going home.

Xu Chunliang got off the high-speed train and went to the parking lot to find his car. Before he could open the door, two men in Mao suits with serious expressions came up to him. One of them said, "Comrade Xu Chunliang?"

Xu Chunliang nodded: "It's me!"

"We are from the disciplinary inspection department. There are some situations that we need to verify with you. We hope you can cooperate." The two men showed their ID cards.

Xu Chunliang's heart skipped a beat. He thought, "Is there nothing wrong with me?" "Why are they looking for me to verify something?" But it must be bad news if these people came to find him. Xu Chunliang thought of Jiang Qiyong's phone call just now. It was probably related to Qin Yujiao's matter.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Cooperate. I am happy to cooperate."

"Then please come with us." The short middle-aged man opened the door of a Passat next to him.

Xu Chunliang pointed to his car: "I have a car."

The short middle-aged man said, "I suggest you get in our car."

Xu Chunliang was happy: "I park for 50 yuan a day, can you pay the parking fee for me?"

The tall one said, "We will send you back after we understand the situation."

Xu Chunliang nodded helplessly: "Okay, then I'll call home and tell them." As soon as he took out his phone, the tall man reached out his hand: "Sorry, I'll keep your phone for now until we understand the situation."

Xu Chunliang grinned and said, "Do you think I'm a criminal suspect?"

The short middle-aged man smiled and said, "Chief Xu, don't get me wrong. If someone of your rank commits a crime, it won't be our turn to look for you."

Xu Chunliang was speechless for a moment. The other person was saying that his level was not high enough. It seemed that he was simply trying to understand the situation.

He followed the two people into the car, but the direction was not heading to the city. Xu Chunliang soon realized that the direction was wrong. He coughed and said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Comrade, where are you taking me?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Find a suitable place to talk. Generally speaking, this treatment is only enjoyed by cadres at the department level and above."

Xu Chunliang said sarcastically: "It seems that I have to thank you."

"You're welcome."

Xu Chunliang was really speechless.

The car arrived at the old Party School Hotel in the southern suburbs of Dongzhou. Since the new Party School was put into use, this place has been basically idle. It is said that the land will be auctioned in the near future, but it will remain in operation for the time being. In the past two years, it has basically become a place for heart-to-heart talks with some cadres who have violated disciplines.

Xu Chunliang was invited to one of the offices. The middle-aged man asked him to sit down and introduced himself with a smile: "Chief Xu, don't be nervous. This time I just want to find you to understand some things. Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Luo. You can call me Lao Luo or Chief Luo."

Xu Chunliang said: "I have to call you Chief Luo, after all, we are just doing business."

Lao Luo sat down opposite Xu Chunliang, took out a pack of cigarettes and asked, "Do you want to smoke?"

Xu Chunliang shook his head: "No, you don't smoke either. I hate secondhand smoke the most."

Lao Luo said, "You'd better give in. I'm a heavy smoker. Xiao Fu, open the window."

The tall Xiao Fu opened all the windows. Xu Chunliang noticed that there were anti-theft windows installed outside the windows and deliberately said, "The security measures are tight enough."

Lao Luo told the truth: "This is the seventh floor, mainly to prevent some people from jumping off the building out of fear of punishment."

Xu Chunliang laughed, and Lao Luo laughed too. He took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and said, "You are very familiar with Qin Yujiao, right?"
