Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1252 Uninvited

What made Zhai Pingqing even more depressed was that Qin Yujiao and Wang Tongan's violations of discipline finally implicated him. Although he had been mentally prepared for this and had taken measures to deal with it, when he was actually investigated, he still felt that misfortunes never come alone.

Zhai Pingqing believed that he was being targeted, and the person behind this series of events was most likely Xu Chunliang, because Qin Yujiao had personally admitted it in front of him.

As the workday was almost over, Wang Jiancheng came to Xu Chunliang's office.

When Xu Chunliang saw him, he guessed that he was the only one who came to visit for no reason.

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "Director Xu, I came here uninvited. I hope I didn't disturb your work?"

Xu Chunliang stood up to greet him and shook his hand. "Mr. Wang, your presence here brings honor to our Civil Affairs Bureau. Please take a seat."

Wang Jiancheng sat down and Xu Chunliang went to pour him tea.

Wang Jiancheng raised the thermos cup in his hand: "I brought it, you're welcome." Maybe because of his family background, Wang Jiancheng looked mature beyond his years. There were not many people of his age who had such living habits.

Xu Chunliang was still very polite and helped him add hot water, then he returned to his seat and sat down, smiling, "Boss Wang, do you want to talk to me about something?"

Wang Jiancheng said, "It's nothing serious. It's been cold recently, and I was thinking about donating some cotton clothes and heating equipment to the orphans in the welfare home, but I'm not familiar with the local civil affairs system, so I thought of you, my old friend."

Xu Chun said in a clear conscience that it is true that I have known you for a short time, but we cannot be considered friends. The two of them have consciously kept a safe distance from the beginning. They probably don't want to be friends, nor do they want to be enemies.

Xu Chunliang said: "That's easy. I'll tell Director Zhang of the welfare home and you can just go over there."

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "Great, thank you!"

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "I should express my gratitude to you on behalf of the children in the welfare home. Thank you Mr. Wang for your love and dedication."

Wang Jiancheng said: "We take from the people and give back to the people. The ultimate goal of our business is to give back to society."

Xu Chunliang really wanted to praise him for his noble character, but in the end he said nothing.

Wang Jiancheng unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of tea and said, "Have you heard of the major archaeological discoveries in Dongzhou?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I work in the Civil Affairs Bureau, not the Culture and Tourism Bureau. You know that my family has had some problems, and I just started working not long ago."

Wang Jiancheng saw that Xu Chunliang was still wearing mourning on his arm and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I found out a little late and was unable to go to pay my respects."

Xu Chunliang said: "I decided to keep everything simple and only informed some relatives and friends."

Wang Jiancheng understood the hidden meaning in his words, which clearly meant that he was not his friend. However, although he did not go, his elder brother and his wife did go, and the Wang family was not impolite in this regard. Wang Jiancheng said, "Director Xu, I am sorry for your loss."

Xu Chunliang nodded and picked up the teacup. He was sure that Wang Jiancheng did not come for donations.

Wang Jiancheng continued the previous topic and said, "It is like this. A tomb from the Warring States Period was discovered in the Qingshan Old Mine Area. Based on the current unearthed conditions, it should be of great value."

Xu Chunliang said: "This is great news. Dongzhou is worried about the lack of tourism resources. The discovery of this Warring States tomb is like a great gift to the Culture and Tourism Bureau."

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "This matter was first discovered by a man named Pu Jian. You should know him. I remember he is a good friend of yours."

Xu Chunliang said: "Pu Jian? I didn't hear him say that. What does Mr. Wang mean?"

Wang Jiancheng thought to himself that your ability to play dumb was truly unmatched. He smiled and said, "I was just chatting casually. Don't take it personally."

Xu Chunliang also laughed: "Are you interested in archaeology as well?"

Wang Jiancheng sighed and said, "The discovery of this Warring States tomb has affected several surrounding ongoing projects."

Xu Chunliang said "oh", but he actually understood it very well in his heart.

Wang Jiancheng was too lazy to point it out and continued, "The greater the value of the Warring States tomb, the larger the area of ​​the protection zone will be. Currently, the construction of the new infectious disease hospital has been suspended, and the office area of ​​the Sino-Korean Industrial Park has also had to stop. This incident has a significant impact on Dongzhou."

Xu Chunliang suddenly realized and said, "I see, your Wang family has invested in the China-Korea Industrial Park, right?"

Wang Jiancheng said: "That's right."

Xu Chunliang said: "The China-Korea Industrial Park is so large. Even if it is needed for archaeological purposes, can't we just adjust the land? The city may even make compensation and concessions. As the saying goes, a blessing in disguise."

Wang Jiancheng said: "The Coke Star Group was very persistent and they did not agree to reselect a location."

Xu Chunliang said, "Boss Wang, this Lexing Group is a little strange. When I was at the Infectious Disease Hospital, they set their sights on the land for the new hospital and tried every means to get it. But later, our leaders insisted, so they failed. Then..." He deliberately glanced at Wang Jiancheng and said, "I don't know whether I should talk about this or not."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Just tell me, there is nothing to hide between us." In fact, they all knew that their relationship was far from the point where they could tell each other everything.

Xu Chunliang said: "Then I'll tell you, I heard that the 5 billion that Kangjian Group used to invest in the new infectious disease hospital was supported by Lexing Group."

Wang Jiancheng pretended to be confused: "I haven't heard of this." Xu Chunliang said: "Although Kangjian Group has some strength, I think it would be difficult for Zhai Pingqing to come up with 5 billion at one time. You should know this better than me."

Wang Jiancheng said: "I have been in the big health track for a short time, and now Changxing's main direction is traditional medicine, while Kangjian is healthy elderly care."

"Kang Jian's investment in the new infectious disease hospital means it has entered your race. Since we are both in Dongzhou, we will be competitors in the future. Excuse me, if the construction of the new infectious disease hospital is stopped, you should be happy."

Wang Jiancheng said with a smile: "Even if Kangjian is gone, there will be successors. I now understand that if traditional medicine wants to grow bigger and stronger, it must start with itself. Comparing with others is meaningless."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "You are more conscious than me. Zhao Feiyang can't compare to you in this aspect."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Director Zhao is an expert. I still need to ask him for more advice on hospital management."

The two of them exchanged a few perfunctory words. The purpose of Wang Jiancheng's coming here today was to test Xu Chunliang's attitude. Xu Chunliang was indeed busy with family affairs during this period, but that didn't mean he was not involved in this matter.

Wang Jiancheng still gave a friendly reminder: "Director Xu, whether you are doing business or being an official, one more friend means one more way forward. Try to make as few enemies as possible."

Xu Chunliang said: "Your words make me a little confused. Who did I offend?"

Wang Jiancheng said: "Zhai Pingqing was able to grow Kangjian Group to its current size not just by luck. I have heard some things recently. Since I am here today, I would like to remind you. After all, you are still working in the civil affairs system, so you should also learn more about the situation above, right?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me. Of course I know that Zhai Pingqing has connections up there, but I'm just a small section-level cadre. Even if he wants to deal with me, he doesn't need to go to such great lengths, don't you think?"

Wang Jiancheng laughed and looked at the time on his watch: "Oh, it's getting late. I guess I delayed your get off work."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "It's true that I'm off work. I was so excited chatting with you that I forgot about it."

Wang Jiancheng said, "How about this, let's have dinner together and continue chatting?"

"Sorry, I have an appointment. How about we do it another day?"

Wang Jiancheng didn't force him to say that, so he nodded, stood up and said goodbye.

Xu Chunliang did not lie, he had an appointment with Su Qing in the evening. Su Qing had been leading a team to film at the ancient tomb archaeological site recently, and today she finally found time to come over for dinner.

Xu Chunliang booked a Japanese restaurant in Huajian for the evening, and Xu Ying had already prepared and arranged the room in advance.

There was one thing Xu Chunliang didn't expect. Wang Jiancheng also chose the same place in the evening. He made a temporary appointment with Zhao Feiyang. Since Huajian Japanese Food reopened, this place has almost become Zhao Feiyang's own canteen.

When Xu Chunliang came to the room, Su Qing had already arrived. Xu Ying was chatting with her. Seeing Xu Chunliang coming in, Xu Ying smiled and said, "Chunliang is here. You guys chat. I'll go make arrangements."

Xu Chunliang said: "Sister Xu, let's drink together later."

Xu Ying smiled and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Feiyang will come to eat later."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "When he arrives, please let me know." He regretted choosing this place.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Feiyang came, and with him came Wang Jiancheng.

Wang Jiancheng was also stunned when he saw Xu Chunliang. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Upon learning that Xu Chunliang came to eat with Su Qing, Wang Jiancheng sighed and said, "So, friends are not attractive enough."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'm so ashamed, I'm so ashamed. It's mainly because I promised Miss Su first. How about this, let's get together tonight, and I'll be the host."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Isn't it inappropriate?"

Xu Chunliang said: "There's nothing inappropriate."

Su Qing came out upon hearing the voice and said with a smile, "Together, I am also very familiar with Dean Zhao." The implication is that I am only not familiar with you, Wang Jiancheng.

Xu Ying said, "Let me make the arrangements tonight. Miss Su and Mr. Wang are both guests who have come from far away. I usually can't invite them even if I want to."

Wang Jiancheng said, "Then I won't be polite to you, President Zhao. I think this place is good. Please come here whenever you want to discuss business in the future."

In fact, Zhao Feiyang would come over without him saying anything, but once Director Wang Jiancheng gave the order, Zhao Feiyang had a legitimate reason to come.

Xu Chunliang sighed secretly, people who do business are all shrewd, Xu Ying is not simple, and Wang Jiancheng is also very adept in the business world.

Xu Ying rearranged a big bun. She knew Xu Chunliang's habits, and tonight's dishes were also a combination of Chinese and Japanese.

Wang Jiancheng heard that Su Qing was filming and interviewing at the archaeological site, and asked curiously: "Ms. Su, can you tell us about the progress of the archaeological excavation?"
