Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1357 I changed my mind

Xiahou Mulan laughed when she heard this and said, "Xu Chunliang still needs your recommendation. I am certainly aware of his abilities."

Huang Wanglin misunderstood her meaning and asked awkwardly, "Does the Sect Master think it's inappropriate?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "It's not inappropriate, but impossible. With his ability, it's okay to let him be the leader. He is in the system, and we are all people in the martial arts world after all, so there is no need to cause him trouble."

Huang Wanglin nodded: "The Sect Master is indeed very thoughtful."

Xiahou Mulan said: "Don't mention this matter again."

Huang Wanglin said: "I will follow the Sect Master's instructions."

Xiahou Mulan asked, "I heard that Master Xie Boxiang passed away?"

Huang Wanglin said: "He has been buried."

Xiahou Mulan said: "You didn't inform me in advance. Master Xie and my father have some friendship. It is reasonable for me to go and pay my respects."

Huang Wanglin said, "Xie Boxiang asked for a simple funeral before he died, so we still follow his wishes. By the way, he left the house you sold to him to Mo Han."

Xiahou Mulan said: "I have heard about this matter too. It is really unexpected. What is the relationship between him and Mo Han?"

Huang Wanglin smiled bitterly and said, "I have known Xie Boxiang for many years, but I don't know what the relationship is between him and Mo Han. They knew each other through Xu Chunliang and me."

Xiahou Mulan said: "Xu Chunliang is involved in everything. He and Mo Han must have a very good relationship."

Huang Wanglin smiled but said nothing. It was not convenient for him to say much about matters between young people.

Xiahou Mulan said, "Speaking of which, it's a pity to lose that house."

Huang Wanglin said, "From what I heard from Miss Mo, it seems that she doesn't want the house and plans to put it up for sale. The proceeds will be used to set up a foundation to support archaeology."

Xiahou Mulan blinked her eyes and said softly, "In that case, I can talk to her."

Huang Wanglin guessed that Xiahou Mulan was willing to buy the house back, and said with a smile: "If the sect master is interested, I can help to inquire about the price."

Xiahou Mulan said, "No need, I'll go find Xu Chunliang and ask her later."

Huang Wanglin nodded. Xu Chunliang and Mo Han were naturally closer than himself. When Xu Chunliang was mentioned, he remembered that Xu Chunliang did not come today, and explained it to Xiahou Mulan.

Xiahou Mulan said: "He should be avoiding suspicion."

Huang Wanglin said: "He thinks too much. I just asked him to come over, not to attend our meeting."

Xiahou Mulan said: "Try not to bother him with matters related to the sect in the future. After all, he is a member of the system."

Huang Wanglin nodded repeatedly. At this time, someone outside reported that Xu Chunliang was coming.

Huang Wanglin thought to himself that he had come after all, but Xu Chunliang managed his time very well. The meeting had already ended by now, and he didn't need to meet with other elders.

Xiahou Mulan said, "I will go to see him. Elder Huang doesn't need to see me off."

Huang Wanglin thought to himself that it seemed that the two of them had already agreed on a time. Zhai Pingqing and Meng Huaiyi had tried every means to set up obstacles in order to prevent Xiahou Mulan from becoming the sect leader, and even forced Xiahou Mulan to swear to never marry. Although they went through many twists and turns, Xiahou Mulan finally became the sect leader, which could be regarded as a sign of long wait.

After Xiahou Mulan went out, she saw Xu Chunliang and Pu Jian standing in the sun and chatting.

Pu Jian greeted, "Miss Mulan, how are you?"

Xiahou Mulan asked: "Boss Pu, why didn't I see you just now?"

Pu Jian said, "I was handling some business at the museum, and I ran into Chunliang just after I came out." He looked at Xu Chunliang and then at Xiahou Mulan, and said cheerfully, "I won't disturb you two from reminiscing about the past, I still have things to do."

Xiahou Mulan came in front of Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master Xiahou."

Xiahou Mulan said: "Why should I be happy? Others don't know, but you don't. I don't want to be the leader of a sect."

Xu Chunliang said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal, you choose the place."

Xiahou Mulan said, "You said so. Go eat hot pot pork with me."

The place that Xiahou Mulan went to was near the former Siheyuan. Although Xu Chunliang had been to Siheyuan many times, he had never noticed that there was such a small shop here.

The shop is located in an alley, doing average business, the owner isn't particularly welcoming, and the taste of the shabu-shabu is nothing special.

Xu Chunliang was a little puzzled as to why Xiahou Mulan chose such a restaurant. The two of them ate hotpot face to face.

Xu Chunliang said: "You are becoming more and more beautiful."

Xiahou Mulan asked, "Are you looking for something to talk about?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I am telling the truth, and I am not praising you. I have contributed a lot to your becoming so beautiful."

Xiahou Mulan spat, "Disgusting."

Xu Chunliang saw that she was not in a very good mood, so he considerately prepared some meat for her: "What's the matter? Did things not go well today? Tell me who made you unhappy, and I'll go and settle the score with him."

Xiahou Mulan shook her head: "No, don't guess blindly, do you know why I asked you to come here for dinner?"

Xu Chunliang asked: "Are you reminded of the past by the scene?"

Xiahou Mulan said: "This store left me with particularly good memories."

Xu Chunliang said: "I will come with you later."

Xiahou Mulan asked: "How long will it be later?"

Xu Chunliang said, "It will take as long as it takes." Xiahou Mulan said, "I am a serious person, don't give me a perfunctory answer."

"When have I ever been perfunctory with you?" Xu Chunliang held her hand.

Xiahou Mulan said, "Let's talk business. Ask Mo Han how much the house costs. I want to buy it back."

Xu Chunliang said: "This is not easy, I will ask her now."

Xu Chunliang dialed the phone and used the speakerphone directly.

Mo Han's voice was as cold as ever: "What's the matter?"

Xu Chunliang said, "It's like this. A friend of mine is interested in Mr. Xie's courtyard house. Aren't you interested in selling it? Give me a price."

Mo Han asked: "Friend? Xiahou Mulan, right?"

Xu Chunliang glanced at Xiahou Mulan, and Xiahou Mulan smiled. Mo Han was a really smart woman.

Xu Chunliang asked: "How could you guess her?"

"What's so strange about this? Mr. Xie just died and someone is interested in this house. Unless there is a special plot, wasn't the previous owner of this house Xiahou Mulan? Who else could it be besides her?"

Xu Chunliang said: "You want to sell it anyway, just name a price."

Mo Han asked: "Is she with you?"

Xu Chunliang said: "No."

Xiahou Mulan kicked him, what was there for him to be afraid of admitting?

Mo Han said: "It's not something you can't face, so why don't you dare to admit it?"

Xiahou Mulan finally couldn't help but said, "Miss Mo is really harsh in her words."

Mo Han said: "This is my temper, please don't be offended if I offend you."

Xiahou Mulan said, "Chunliang has made it clear enough just now. I wonder how much you plan to offer?"

Mo Han said, "I originally had this idea, but then I thought about it. Mr. Xie gave the house to me. If I just sold it casually, wouldn't it be a betrayal of his kindness? So I changed my mind and planned to keep the house."

Xiahou Mulan said, "I hope it's not because I want to buy it that you changed your mind."

Mo Han said: "You're right, it's because of you." After she said that, she hung up the phone.

Xiahou Mulan's face turned cold and she said angrily, "She did it on purpose."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Since you know she did it on purpose, don't be angry. As long as you have money, you can buy a good house."

Xiahou Mulan said: "It's all because of you."

Xu Chunliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What does it have to do with me?" He knew very well that it was most likely because of him that someone was jealous.

Xu Chunliang had a generally smooth year. The occasional minor setbacks were not serious. On the first working day after the holiday, he went to handle the relevant procedures.

Qin Zhengyang asked him to find time to go to the office. When Xu Chunliang went there, he learned that Wang Jianming had not returned yet, which also avoided the embarrassment of the meeting.

Qin Zhengyang pulled him to sit down and made him a cup of tea.

Xu Chunliang said: "I can't stay for long. If someone sees me, it will cause you unnecessary trouble."

Qin Zhengyang laughed: "You underestimate Secretary Wang's ambition."

Xu Chunliang said: "I met him in the capital, and he reminded me in person not to do anything that would let down the people of Dongzhou."

Qin Zhengyang said: "It's inevitable that he has some emotions. After all, he has already arranged for you to go to Yibin, but you did this and made him lose face."

Xu Chunliang said: "Brother Zhengyang, I didn't mean to embarrass him. I just wanted to change the environment."

Qin Zhengyang nodded. He knew very well that all this was far from as simple as it seemed on the surface. There was no telling how many games and confrontations were involved behind the scenes. Of course, all of this was beyond his reach.

Qin Zhengyang said: "Although Jizhou is also a prefecture-level city, its comprehensive strength cannot be compared with Dongzhou. After all, Dongzhou is the central city of the Jianghai Economic Zone."

Xu Chunliang said with a smile: "I won't be the top leader, I'll just be a grassroots cadre, I can't take care of the big things at the GDP level."

Qin Zhengyang also laughed: "I'll just talk about the facts. Chunliang, there won't be any problems for you and Jiang Qiyong to form a team, right?"

Xu Chunliang said, "What's the problem? He will only be a deputy. He specifically asked me to go there. I can only help him, not destroy him."

Qin Zhengyang said: "Then I wish your revolutionary friendship will last forever."

Xu Chunliang said: "Not only with him, but also with us."

Qin Zhengyang shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. When you go to Jeju, you have to work for the welfare of the people of Jeju. We are fighting for the future of Dongzhou. And you went to Jeju Culture and Tourism, the national resort construction headquarters. Your work has an intersection with Dongzhou Culture and Tourism."

Xu Chunliang said: "Lu Ming and I are buddies, we can't fall out with each other."

Qin Zhengyang said, "Lu Ming is not responsible for the specific matters of Weishan Lake. Don't try to avoid the important issues. Mei Ruxue is the head of Binhu New District. Do you really want me to explain it clearly?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Don't worry, I have always been clear about the distinction between public and private affairs."

Qin Zhengyang said: "I don't need to tell you how you got into trouble this time, brother, you can't fall in the same place twice."

Xu Chunliang nodded, but he didn't think he had fallen before. Besides, he didn't lose anything by falling on Mei Ruxue!
