Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1314 Guancheng Investigation

Huang Guangtao is fifty years old this year, older than Wang Jianming. Many members of this inspection team were designated by him. People like Xu Chunliang who can act as matchmakers are indispensable. Xie Mingsheng, director of the Development and Reform Commission, and Lin Yaoming, secretary of the Commerce Commission, are both on the list.

The most surprising thing for Xu Chunliang was that Mei Ruxue was also on the list. Perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, Mei Ruxue had not communicated with him in advance.

When she met Mei Ruxue at the airport that day, Mei Ruxue was obviously a little embarrassed and greeted Xu Chunliang perfunctorily: "You are here too." In fact, she knew very well that Xu Chunliang was on the list of the inspection team. After all, this inspection was facilitated by Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang nodded and thought to himself, what nonsense are you talking about? I was the one who contacted her about this matter. After not seeing her for a few days, I felt that Mei Ruxue had become more beautiful, with an indescribable charm. Xu Chunliang knew that this was all his credit.

Mei Ruxue said, "Let's talk again when we have a chance. Come find me in City Huang." After saying that, she walked towards Huang Guangtao.

Because the inspection was not long, Xu Chunliang brought a travel bag with him. He glanced in the direction of Huang Guangtao and saw a group of people surrounding him and chatting enthusiastically. Huang Guangtao, who was the center of attention, controlled his expression very well. He was calm and composed, and talked and laughed without seeming to get carried away. This is the grasp of the scale, which can only be achieved after practicing in the system for many years.

Xu Chunliang did not try to get closer to the top. His unfamiliarity with Huang Guangtao was just one of the reasons. His rank was too low, and if he tried to get closer, others would think he was opportunistic and flattering. Moreover, it was generally believed within the Dongzhou system that he was Secretary Wang's man. If he could cling to Secretary Wang's thigh, there was no need for him to rush to flatter Huang Guangtao.

The coffee in the VIP lounge tasted worse than instant coffee. When Xu Chunliang was drinking coffee, Huang Guangtao's secretary Guo Xinmin came to sit next to him and smiled at him: "When did Director Xu come?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Just arrived, I drove here by myself."

Guo Xinmin nodded: "No wonder I didn't see you in the car just now." Most members of the inspection team came here by car. Xu Chunliang was an exception. He drove directly from home to the airport.

Xu Chunliang glanced at the broadcast screen and saw that the flight was delayed by forty-five minutes.

Guo Xinmin said: "Flights have never been on time recently."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's snowing."

Guo Xinmin was stunned for a moment. He did not notice this detail. He stood up and went to the window to look for a while before he was sure that salt particles were floating outside. He returned to Xu Chunliang and was obviously a little nervous: "Why is it snowing? The weather forecast clearly said it would be cloudy."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Is Secretary Guo afraid of flying?"

Guo Xinmin shook his head: "Not really, but generally speaking I would rather take a plane than a high-speed train."

Xu Chunliang said: "That's normal, I feel the same." In fact, he was not afraid of flying, but saying this made it easier to narrow the distance between them.

They both laughed.

The snow was not heavy, but it still affected the takeoff and landing of the flight. The boarding time was two hours later than the scheduled time. Everyone lined up to board. Xu Chunliang deliberately stayed at the end of the line, mainly to distance himself from Mei Ruxue. Since Wang Jianming had hinted to him through Qin Zhengyang, he had to avoid suspicion, especially in such an occasion. He didn't want to cause trouble for Mei Ruxue.

But the arrangement of fate was so wonderful. When Xu Chunliang sat down, he found that he and Mei Ruxue were actually sitting next to each other. Mei Ruxue sat by the window and he sat in the middle. The person next to them was not from their inspection group.

Mei Ruxue had not expected such a coincidence. She had already sat down and could not change seats temporarily, as that would make it obvious that she was trying to hide something. She could only make the best of it.

After the two nodded to each other, Mei Ruxue looked out the window. This slightly deliberate action made her neck sore soon. Mei Ruxue took out an eye mask from her handbag, put on headphones, turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, and temporarily shut herself off for the next nearly three-hour flight, pretending that the guy next to her didn't exist.

The plane had not received the take-off order from the tower for a long time. Xu Chunliang asked for a blanket and handed it to Mei Ruxue. Mei Ruxue, who was immersed in self-isolation, was unaware of it. Xu Chunliang had to elbow her gently. Mei Ruxue took off her blindfold and saw the blanket handed to her by Xu Chunliang. She whispered, "Thank you." She still felt touched in her heart that he still knew how to care about her.

I put the blanket over myself and soon felt a hand on my thigh.

Mei Ruxue bit her cherry lips. She knew whose hand this was without asking. No wonder he was so kind to give her a blanket. It turned out that he wanted to cover up his evil hands. It was like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken. He had no good intentions.

Xu Chunliang was also covered with a blanket. With the cover of the blanket, the movements of his right hand became much more concealed.

Mei Ruxue grabbed his right hand with her left hand, and her nails pinched Xu Chunliang's flesh fiercely. If she didn't teach him a lesson, he would only become more aggressive.

Xu Chunliang's hands stopped moving, and he allowed Mei Ruxue's five fingers to torture him. Mei Ruxue's hands also stopped exerting force. After all, she was still reluctant to let go. She thought that after that snowy night, it would be over, but she didn't expect that their relationship would be so complicated and difficult to cut off. Whether she admitted it or not, the relationship between the two became deeper after that layer of paper was broken.

The plane finally took off, and Mei Ruxue took her hands outside the blanket, which to some extent was also a way of proving her innocence. If both of their hands were under the blanket, someone might have guessed that their hands were holding together under the blanket.

Fortunately, the third person sitting next to them did not notice the secret fight between the two of them.

Mei Ruxue felt a little tired and wanted to find a shoulder to lean on. Xu Chunliang's broad shoulder was right beside her, but it felt so far away to her. From the moment they broke up, this shoulder no longer belonged to her. The fuselage trembled slightly, and the voice of the crew came from the plane broadcast, saying that the plane was experiencing turbulence and would vibrate, asking everyone to sit in their seats, fasten their seat belts, and not walk around.

The turbulence of the aircraft began to become more intense. Mei Ruxue hid her hands under the blanket again, silently searching for Xu Chunliang's warm big hand, and then tightly grasped him, as if a drowning person grasped a lifebuoy...

The turbulence of the plane did not last too long, but Mei Ruxue never let go of her hand. The flight time became shorter and the journey did not seem to last too long before the plane landed.

When we landed, the sky in Dongguan was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Xu Chunliang was still walking at the end of the team, keeping a proper distance from Mei Ruxue.

Yang Wenda, the CEO of Guangdi Group, came to the airport in person to greet them, and relevant leaders from Wancheng also came to welcome the Dongzhou delegation.

That night they stayed at the Guangdi Hotel in Songhu Science Park, which is also a property of the Guangdi Group.

When Xu Chunliang checked in, he and Mei Ruxue were arranged to stay in the same floor, next door rooms. Mei Ruxue was in room 1618 and he was in room 1616. Even Xu Chunliang felt that this was more of a coincidence than an arrangement.

The two of them only realized that they were assigned to the same floor after they entered the elevator. No one asked for each other's room card. It was not until they arrived at their respective doors that they realized they were together again.

Mei Ruxue lowered her head, opened the door and entered the room, then quickly locked the door, even though she knew Xu Chunliang could not follow her in.

Xu Chunliang did not lock the door. After entering, he first conducted a routine check to see if there were any hidden cameras in the room. One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be on guard against others, as high technology is everywhere nowadays.

He soon discovered that each room had a small balcony, from which he could enjoy the beautiful view of Song Lake.

Xu Chunliang's balcony is adjacent to Mei Ruxue's room, which means they can see each other if they stand on the balcony.

Mei Ruxue naturally discovered this as well. She didn't dare go to the balcony now. If she had known that there would be so many coincidences with Xu Chunliang this time, she would not have participated in this inspection team. Mei Ruxue quickly explained to herself that she came for business, not for Xu Chunliang, but she felt that her explanation didn't make sense. After all, Xu Chunliang told her about Guangdi Automobile in advance. She knew that Xu Chunliang would participate in this inspection but she still agreed to join. If she really wanted to avoid suspicion, she should find an excuse not to come.

After Mei Ruxue took a shower and changed her clothes, she heard her cell phone ringing. She picked it up and saw it was a call from her eldest brother Qiao Rulong.

"Xiaoxue, where are you?"

"Brother, I'm investigating in Guancheng."

Qiao Rulong had just arrived in Dongzhou: "What a coincidence, I'm in Dongzhou. I wanted to give you a surprise, but you actually went so far."

Mei Ruxue thought to herself that even if she saw her eldest brother, she would not be surprised. For some reason, her relationship with her family had become increasingly distant. Perhaps it started when she decided to marry Wang Jiancheng.

That night, Guangdi Group arranged a buffet dinner in the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel to entertain the Dongzhou inspection team. When Mei Ruxue arrived at the banquet hall, Xu Chunliang was not there.

Huang Guangtao, who was chatting with Yang Wenda, the CEO of Guangdi Group, saw Mei Ruxue and called out, "Xiaomei, come here."

Mei Ruxue walked over with a glass of red wine and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, do you have any instructions?"

Huang Guangtao smiled and said, "Let me introduce it to you."

In fact, Mei Ruxue and Yang Wenda had met at the airport, but Yang Wenda was not clear about Mei Ruxue's specific position. After Huang Guangtao's introduction, Yang Wenda quickly shook hands with Mei Ruxue: "Secretary Mei, hello."

Huang Guangtao said: "You guys discuss the specifics, Mr. Yang, I can guarantee you now that as long as your production base is located in Dongzhou, we will provide the most preferential policies and the best business environment."

Huang Guangtao had other guests to meet, so after facilitating a conversation between Yang Wenda and Mei Ruxue, he quickly went to socialize elsewhere.

Mei Ruxue said: "Guangdi Automobile has developed very quickly this year. We came here to visit and learn."
