Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1373 Establishing Prestige
Li Yong said: "It's not really a good deed. My family is not well off. My father died when I was in primary school and my mother remarried. My grandfather supported me. I went to high school and when the college entrance examination was approaching, my grandfather unfortunately had a stroke and was hospitalized. I couldn't live without someone to take care of me, so I gave up my plan to continue my studies and chose to enter the society."

Xu Chunliang said: "So our experiences are quite similar."

Li Yong shook his head: "It's different. Your grandfather is rich, but my grandfather is just a hard-working person."

Xu Chunliang said: "The contributions to us are all the same."

Li Yong did not object this time. He sighed, took the initiative to pick up the glass and drank a glass with Xu Chunliang, and continued: "I was naive at the beginning, and thought that I could make money by entering society, but I didn't expect that society was so much more complicated than school. I tried almost all the jobs I was capable of. After struggling in society for several years, I couldn't even save enough for my grandfather's medical expenses. Later... later..." He couldn't continue.

Xu Chunliang didn't ask, but stood up, got a bottle of wine, opened it, and silently filled Li Yong's glass.

Li Yong picked up the wine glass and drank half of it himself, while Xu Chunliang accompanied him silently.

Li Yong adjusted his mood: "My grandfather really couldn't bear to drag me down, so he set the house on fire while I was out..." When he said this, Li Yong's eyes were red. For so many years, this matter has always been a hurdle in his heart that he could not get over. He has thought more than once that if he had not gone out to work, if he could earn more money, his grandfather would not have chosen to commit suicide.

Xu Chunliang said: "It is difficult to repay the kindness of one's parents. It is the same for me. My grandfather was murdered by someone, and I still haven't caught the real murderer."

Li Yong glanced at Xu Chunliang. Their common experience had eliminated the barrier between them. Although Li Yong didn't want to admit it, he knew very well in his heart that he no longer had any ill will towards Xu Chunliang.

The two drank another glass of wine, and Li Yong said, "Director Xu, thank you for putting aside the past grudges and giving me such a good opportunity. I also know what you want me to do for you. I appreciate your kindness, but I still can't take the job you offer me."

Xu Chunliang said, "Do you think I'm using you to deal with Hu Xianyong? I just told you, let's move on. I simply admire your mind and character, and I promise that I won't use you to deal with Hu Xianyong or anyone around him."

Li Yong looked at Xu Chunliang in surprise: "Excuse me, but I really don't understand what else I can do to help you?"

Xu Chunliang said, "That depends on how capable you are. Anyway, I won't force you to do anything. I let you take charge of security because I'm not satisfied with the public security situation at the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Also, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the local situation. With you taking over, you should be able to handle some of the trivial matters so that I can concentrate on serving Jeju Culture and Tourism."

Li Yong asked: "Is it that simple?"

Xu Chunliang said, "How complicated do you want it to be? Hu Xianyong has agreed to go to Weishan Island for a six-month exchange of law enforcement officers. A new captain will come to the Water Security Management Team, and you won't meet in the short term."

Li Yong said: "I haven't done anything to offend him, so it's okay to meet him."

Xu Chunliang raised his glass and said, "Does that mean you agree?"

Li Yong clinked his glasses with his. Xu Chunliang had said so much, if he didn't agree, he would be ungrateful: "I will try my best to live up to your expectations."

Xu Chunliang's arrangement for Li Yong to come to the Cultural and Tourism Bureau to serve as security team leader was openly opposed by Security Chief Ding Yifeng. After learning of this decision, he went to Xu Chunliang's office as soon as possible.

Xu Chunliang had anticipated Ding Yifeng's reaction. The Security Section of the Culture and Tourism Bureau is not simply responsible for the internal security of the Bureau. Its authority covers the security units of all subordinate units. In other words, the security work of libraries, exhibition halls, major tourist attractions and parks are all under his unified command and supervision.

Li Yong used to be the deputy captain of the Taibai District Water Security Management Brigade, but was removed due to economic problems. How could such a tainted person enter the Culture and Tourism Bureau?

Ding Yifeng explained the reasons to Xu Chunliang in a righteous manner.

Xu Chunliang listened to him patiently and said calmly, "I don't know what happened in the past, and I'm not interested in knowing. It was my decision to hire Li Yong to be in charge of the security work of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau. I also sought the consent of Director Jiang. The reason why I didn't discuss it with you in advance is that I don't need to ask for your opinion in terms of procedure. I have received your objection, but I don't accept it. Of course, you have the right to continue to report it to the higher authorities."

Ding Yifeng said, "Director Xu, I'm not against you. I just think it's risky to let someone like Li Yong, who has a stain on his reputation, take charge of the security work of the bureau. There will be problems in the future."

Xu Chunliang said, "Something has gone wrong. You still haven't given me a clear explanation about my car. I didn't call the police because I didn't want this to get out of hand. But that doesn't mean you don't need to take responsibility for it. Chief Ding, if you can promise that there won't be any safety issues in the bureau in the future, I will immediately withdraw Li Yong's employment."

Ding Yifeng was speechless. He didn't expect Xu Chunliang to be so resolute on this matter. He couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any problems in the future. No one could guarantee that.

Xu Chunliang said: "If you have nothing else to do, go ahead and do your work. I have other work to deal with."

Ding Yifeng nodded, and just as he turned around, Xu Chunliang called him back: "Old Ding, let all the current security guards leave before the end of the month."

Ding Yifeng was surprised and asked, "What?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Let's start with the bureau first. In the future, all security personnel in each unit of the Culture and Tourism Bureau will be re-evaluated, and those who do not meet the requirements will be dismissed." Ding Yifeng then realized that Xu Chunliang was not going to simply introduce a security captain. He was going to make a big move on the security system of all units under the Culture and Tourism Bureau. This was a move on his own little piece of land.

Ding Yifeng couldn't figure out how he had offended Xu Chunliang. It was just because his tire was punctured. I have already arranged for someone to compensate him. Killing is not a crime. Why do you, Xu Chunliang, want to replace the security guards of the Culture and Tourism Bureau just because of this incident?
Ding Yifeng is an old employee of the Culture and Tourism Bureau. The first person he thought of was the director Xiao Changyin. Ever since Deputy Director Jiang Qiyong took office, Xiao Changyin had been out for a meeting. Ding Yifeng called Xiao Changyin and told him that too many things had happened in the bureau during the two days he had been at the meeting.

In fact, someone had already informed Xiao Changyin of the recent situation of the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Xiao Changyin was about to retire, and he knew very well that Xu Chunliang was Jiang Qiyong's man. He believed that Jiang Qiyong was behind Xu Chunliang's series of actions. Xiao Changyin was in no mood to intervene in the internal disputes of the Culture and Tourism Bureau. He perfunctorily said a few words to Ding Yifeng and asked him to go to Jiang Qiyong to report the situation. He would deal with the problems that could not be solved when he returned.

After much deliberation, Ding Yifeng decided to go find Jiang Qiyong. When he arrived at Jiang Qiyong's office, he happened to meet Lu Yunqi coming out.

Lu Yunqi has not appeared at work since his affair with Liang Xin was exposed.

Ding Yifeng didn't know when he came over, but he saw with his own eyes Lu Yunqi coming out of the office of the new deputy director.

Not long ago, Ding Yifeng once ran into Lu Yunqi on the street. Lu Yunqi also saw him that time and turned away from him. Ding Yifeng understood very well that he was afraid of embarrassment, but today Lu Yunqi was very calm. Not only did he respond calmly, but he also took the initiative to greet Ding Yifeng: "Old Ding!"

Ding Yifeng nodded and said with a smile: "Old Lu, when did you come?"

When Lu Yunqi was in charge of the command center in the past, Ding Yifeng would always smile and respectfully call him Director Lu. But things are different now. Lu Yunqi is a person who made mistakes and has been dismissed from his public office.

Lu Yunqi said, "It's been a while."

Ding Yifeng said, "What are your plans?" There were rumors that Lu Yunqi was going to resign, and Ding Yifeng was very curious about this.

Lu Yunqi smiled and said, "What plans can we have? Just obey the organization's arrangements."

Ding Yifeng thought about it and realized that Lu Yunqi should not resign. He really admired his mental quality. He had such a bad reputation, but he still had the nerve to stay in the Culture and Tourism Bureau? He would never be reused in the future.

Lu Yunqi said: "I'm leaving first, we'll talk again when we have a chance."

Ding Yifeng said: "Slow down."

After watching Lu Yunqi walk into the elevator, Ding Yifeng came to the door of Jiang Qiyong's office, knocked on the door, and entered only after getting permission.

Jiang Qiyong saw that it was him: "Old Ding, I was just looking for you."

What Ding Yifeng originally wanted to report could only be postponed for the time being: "Director Jiang, what instructions do you have for me?"

Jiang Qiyong asked, "Where did you find these security guards? In broad daylight, Director Xu's tire was punctured, and the surveillance camera was broken by coincidence? Don't you know how to fix it?"

Ding Yifeng didn't expect to be scolded by Jiang Qiyong before he could even say a word. He coughed dryly and said, "Director Jiang, this kind of thing has never happened before..."

"What do you mean? Are you targeting Director Xu? I warn you, don't let him hear this, he has a bad temper."

Ding Yifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Director Jiang, we have already made amends for this incident. I promise that such incidents will not happen again in the future."

Jiang Qiyong said, "What guarantees can you give? You can't even guard the gate properly, and the personal property of your colleagues can't get the protection it deserves. This time the loss is personal, and there may be bigger problems next time. If the public interest is damaged, I will hold you accountable."

Ding Yifeng stopped talking. He had realized that he should not have come. If he reported the situation now, he would only bring shame upon himself. It was possible that Jiang Qiyong was instructing Xu Chunliang to reorganize the security system. The two of them had just arrived and wanted to find an opportunity to establish their prestige. It just so happened that something went wrong in the area he was responsible for. He could only blame himself for being unlucky.

Jiang Qiyong asked: "Why don't you speak?"

"Director Jiang, I promise..."

"Don't make promises. I want you to come up with concrete measures. If you feel you are capable of doing the job, then do your best. If you feel you are incapable, then give your position to someone who is capable."
