Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1332 I Have Never Done This

Lu Ming laughed awkwardly: "Brother, I don't mean to satisfy my curiosity. I just think you two look too much alike."

Yuan Hongping poured Xu Dongya a cup of tea and looked at Xu Dongya's expression quietly. He thought he had made considerable achievements in physiognomy, but he still couldn't figure out Xu Dongya, whom he had known for many years. This man was too scheming, and even Yuan Hongping could not peek into his inner world.

Finally, it was Yuan Hongping who took the initiative to break the silence: "From the first time I met Xu Chunliang, I felt that you two looked very similar."

Xu Dongya said nothing and sipped his tea quietly.

Yuan Hongping added: "You and he happen to both have the last name Xu."

Xu Dongya said: "It's a coincidence."

Yuan Hongping said, "When Mr. Xu passed away, you asked me to send a wreath."

Xu Dongya said: "He has done me a favor."

Yuan Hongping nodded but didn't say anything else.

Xu Dongya finished the tea, put the empty cup on the table, and watched Yuan Hongping refill it for him.

Yuan Hongping said: "The bald man is colluding with Jiang Yucheng, and I suspect Xue Renzhong has already cooperated with them."

Xu Dongya said disdainfully: "What a short-sighted person."

Yuan Hongping said: "Brother Dongya, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Why do you want to acquire Qianfan Group?"

Xu Dongya did not answer his question, perhaps because he did not want to, or perhaps because he thought the question was very boring, or perhaps he was used to remaining silent, so he would not care about other people's feelings, even if that person was Yuan Hongping.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Wang Jianming returned home. He Wanying was sitting in the living room, reading a book while waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she stood up and said, "I'll get you a basin of hot water to soak your feet."

Wang Jianming said: "No, I still have some work to do."

He Wanying sighed and said, "Work is important, but health is equally important. Have you eaten?"

Wang Jianming nodded and told her that he had hosted a banquet for the person in charge of Guangdi Technology in the evening.

He Wanying knew that Guangdi Automobile had decided to invest 30 billion to build an industrial base in Dongzhou, and whispered: "I heard that this investment promotion conference was very successful, and the total transaction amount exceeded 100 billion."

Wang Jianming said calmly: "Some agreements have only been signed in draft form. It would be good if half of them can be implemented."

He Wanying said: "Fifty billion is also a remarkable achievement."

Wang Jianming nodded, unable to deny the success of this investment promotion activity, just as he could not deny Xu Chunliang's contribution to it.

He Wanying asked, "Is Mei Ruxue attending the banquet tonight?"

Wang Jianming said: "As the person in charge of Binhu New District, of course she has to go. Guangdi Automobile's industrial base will be located in her jurisdiction in the future."

He Wanying said: "I really can't believe that Mei Ruxue has achieved such great results so soon after taking office."

Wang Jianming vaguely guessed where his wife wanted to lead the topic, and stood up and said, "I'd better take a shower first."

He Wanying asked, "Did Xu Chunliang also attend?"

Wang Jianming shook his head: "I didn't see him."

He Wanying said, "I heard that he is the hero of this investment promotion conference. Why don't you let him go?"

Wang Jianming looked at his wife helplessly: "I didn't say that he couldn't attend, he just didn't come."

He Wanying asked, "Is he trying to avoid suspicion or is he afraid to go?"

Wang Jianming said: "If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. What does he have to be afraid of?"

He Wanying said: "I'm afraid of you."

Wang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Wanying, you've been married to me for so many years, and you don't know who I am? I have always been aboveboard and I keep my public and private affairs separate."

He Wanying said: "Of course I know what kind of person you are, but even though you don't say it, you still care about some things in your heart."

Wang Jianming asked, "When did you start beating around the bush?"

He Wanying sighed and said, "The cancellation of Jiancheng and Mei Ruxue's engagement must have made the Wang family very embarrassed, right?"

Wang Jianming shook his head: "I talked to my second uncle about this matter. He was the one who took the initiative to cancel the engagement. He said that he didn't want to hurt the harmony between the two families because of this matter." He Wanying said: "Jianming, in fact, I didn't agree with this marriage from the beginning. Jiancheng doesn't like Mei Ruxue, and Mei Ruxue doesn't like him. You know that, right?"

Wang Jianming said: "If you don't like it, don't agree to it." The couple also encountered opposition from the family at the beginning, but they withstood the heavy pressure and finally got together. Wang Jianming did not think that the family's glory needed to be promoted through marriage, and he did not agree with the marriage between Wang Jiancheng and Mei Ruxue, but his second uncle Wang Zhengdao insisted.

He Wanying said: "Jianming, although many things have happened recently that have affected the Wang family, I am somewhat relieved."

Wang Jianming frowned, knowing that there was a deep rift between his wife and the family, but she shouldn't show happiness when the family's honor was damaged, right? Whether she admitted it or not, she was a member of the Wang family.

He Wanying said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not gloating over your misfortune. I'm happy for you. Second Uncle's investment in Dongzhou through the China-Korea Industrial Park is like a huge stone pressing on my heart. I know you don't want it, but you can't change it. I always feel that Second Uncle is a hard person to figure out. Back to Jiancheng and Xiaoxue's marriage, in fact, the two families have already cancelled the engagement, and Second Uncle has never been unhappy about it. I remember you once said that he looked down on Xiaoxue's background in his bones."

Wang Jianming said: "It's all over."

He Wanying said, "It's because it happened that I want to talk about this. Why did Second Uncle bring up the past again? Jiancheng has become like that, but he still wants to propose marriage to the Qiao family. The reason why the Qiao family agreed was not because of the original promise, but because Second Uncle used some tricks."

Wang Jianming felt a little uneasy. He didn't expect his wife to see the whole thing so clearly. He also felt it was strange that the Qiao family agreed to fulfill the marriage contract, but it was not convenient for him to ask more questions.

He Wanying said: "When I first heard that the engagement was suddenly cancelled, I thought it was because Xu Chunliang and Mei Ruxue's old relationship rekindled, but later I found out that it was my second uncle who took the initiative to propose it."

Wang Jianming nodded. His second uncle had explained it to him personally, and there was no sign of hatred towards Mei Ruxue and Xu Chunliang from his second uncle's words.

He Wanying said, "Have you noticed that Second Uncle has suddenly become reasonable after this incident? He has no intention of taking revenge on anyone, and has taken the initiative to withdraw investment from the Sino-Korean Industrial Park. I am not afraid that you will blame me. As long as Second Uncle does business in Dongzhou, I am worried that you will be implicated by him. The reason why you can get to where you are today is not because of his help, and it will be the same in the future."

Wang Jianming said: "Wanying, just rest assured."

He Wanying said, "I'm not trying to speak well of Xu Chunliang, but he is indeed a down-to-earth young man. You should be aware of his abilities and passions. As for his emotional affairs, it seems that they are not within your jurisdiction."

Wang Jianming burst out laughing. His wife was just speaking well of Xu Chunliang.

He Wanying said, "To put it bluntly, if you retaliate against Xu Chunliang because of rumors from the outside world, aren't you afraid that others will say that you are abandoning your efforts and putting away your bow after the rabbit has died?"

Wang Jianming said: "When did I take revenge on him? He is still working in the same position."

He Wanying said, "I have heard a lot of rumors recently, but as the two parties involved in the rumors, Mei Ruxue is still unscathed and continues to be reused, while Xu Chunliang is not even eligible to attend the celebration banquet. Do you think it is fair?"

Wang Jianming didn't say anything. His wife obviously didn't understand that there is no absolute fairness within the system.

He Wanying said, "It's simply because Mei Ruxue has a background, and Xu Chunliang is just a child from an ordinary family. Let's not discuss whether the rumor is true or not. Even if there is something going on between the two of them, it is not Xu Chunliang's fault alone. Why should all the responsibilities and mistakes be attributed to Xu Chunliang alone? Xu Chunliang did not resist not because he was afraid of you, but because he wanted to keep your dignity."

Wang Jianming looked at his wife, and he suddenly understood that his wife also came from an ordinary family. Perhaps Xu Chunliang’s recent experience evoked her memories of the past and the grievances in her heart, so she spoke up for Xu Chunliang.

Wang Jianming said: "Wanying, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

He Wanying said, "If you don't handle it properly, the Ye family won't just sit there and watch, right?"

Wang Jianming keenly sensed something: "Ye Qingya is looking for you?"

He Wanying said: "Just to show my concern."

Wang Jianming sighed and said, "This Xu Chunliang is really capable of making trouble."

He Wanying said, "He doesn't know, but I heard from Qingya that he will go to the capital to spend the holiday with Mr. Ye in the next two days."

Wang Jianming thought to himself, I haven't done anything to Xu Chunliang yet, and you all come out to plead for him, even my wife comes out to oppose me, but this kid has gone too far this time, if I hadn't suppressed him, who knows how bad the situation would have gotten. The photos and videos are all evidence.

He considered it for a moment and said, "Given the current situation, it is not appropriate for him and Mei Ruxue to continue working together."

He Wanying said: "Let him go to Yibin."

Wang Jianming looked at his wife in surprise. She seldom interfered with his work, but now she took the initiative to arrange a destination for Xu Chunliang. He soon realized that someone must have asked his wife to intercede for him. This person should be very clear about the administrative division and organizational structure of Dongzhou.

Wang Jianming first thought of Qin Zhengyang, but he immediately denied this possibility. Qin Zhengyang didn't have the courage to do so, and he couldn't say anything in front of He Wanying. The biggest possibility could only be Mei Ruxue, and perhaps Ye Qingya.

The wife may not give face to Mei Ruxue, but she will definitely give face to Ye Qingya.

Wang Jianming said: "Let me think about it."

He Wanying said: "What is there to consider? If you don't want such a talent, I'm afraid he will be taken away by others. Do you really think that the Ye family can't help him find a suitable job?"

Wang Jianming said, "What did you tell me at the beginning? Don't interfere with my work. What's wrong with you today?"
