Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1432 Just Speak

Mo Han said softly, "He's not cheap. Your Jeju leaders are really generous in their work."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's not my own money anyway."

Mo Han said, "You have a problem with your superiors, but I think the money was well spent. At least such a beautiful building was built. Many places spent money but ended up with a bunch of reinforced concrete garbage. In comparison, the officials in Jeju still have some taste."

Mo Han was very interested in the scenery and took out her mobile phone to take pictures. Xu Chunliang looked at her who was concentrating on taking pictures and suddenly remembered the scene when they met again on the top of Weishan Island. Several years had passed unknowingly. Time flies and too many changes have taken place in these years.

Xu Chunliang said, "Let's go. Come back and take pictures after the landscaping is completed."

Mo Han didn't mean to leave immediately: "Will your museum move here?"

Xu Chunliang asked curiously: "How did you know?"

Mo Han said: "I am just guessing, otherwise why would you come here specially?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Smart, there is a building here that should belong to our museum."

Mo Han keenly sensed the uncertainty in his words: "Why? There are still variables? Doesn't the New Cultural Center belong to your Cultural and Tourism Bureau?"

Xu Chunliang said, "For municipal projects, the city will give it to whoever it wants. Originally, they agreed to give us two buildings, but later on, various departments wanted to come over and share the cake. The Science and Technology Bureau, the Planning Bureau, and even the Education Bureau all applied. The city distributed it based on the principle of fairness. A while ago, we almost couldn't keep even one building. They said they had to choose a new site to build the museum."

Mo Han said: "It's not about treating everyone equally, it's about the distribution of benefits. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the system."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Of course, you know so much about our system."

"You've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run?"

Mo Han looked towards Taibai Lake under the setting sun: "Has the joint archaeological team started its excavation?"

Xu Chunliang instantly understood the real purpose of her visit and said with a smile, "It will start at the end of the month. Why? Are you also interested in the underwater city?"

Mo Han said: "I'm just a little curious. Some people always appear in sensitive places at sensitive times."

Xu Chunliang looked at Mo Han and said meaningfully, "Mutual, mutual."

The joint archaeological team's preparations for the underwater sunken city excavation caused quite a stir in the archaeological and academic circles of Shandong and Pinghai provinces. Because the underwater sunken city is located in the waters at the border of the two provinces, both sides sent experts.

In fact, Pinghai did not pay much attention to archaeology in the past. The change from being a bystander to actively participating now is all thanks to Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang worked in Dongzhou at the time. In order to discuss the archaeological issue of the underwater sunken city, he went to find Xing Wenhu, the person in charge of Pinghai’s culture and tourism. Xing Wenhu came forward to argue for the ownership of the underwater sunken city.

Even Xu Chunliang did not have foresight. If he had anticipated that he would come to Jeju to work, there would be no need to introduce Pinghai Culture and Tourism.

Both provinces attached great importance to this joint archaeological operation. On the day when the excavation officially started, many cultural and tourism leaders from the two provinces and surrounding cities came, and many TV stations reported on this archaeological operation.

Xing Wenhu, as the person in charge of Pinghai's culture and tourism, also made a special trip to Jeju. Li Zhenhai, the person in charge of Lunan's culture and tourism, arrived on the same day as him. Lu Ming, the director of Dongzhou's culture and tourism bureau, also arrived as part of his entourage.

The arrival of these senior leaders also made the local officials in Jeju busy, and the first to be affected was Jeju Culture and Tourism, which was responsible for the reception work.

Jiang Qiyong now seems insignificant, so Jiang Yunna accompanies him throughout the whole process.

Xu Chunliang and Xing Wenhu hadn't seen each other for a while. The first thing Xing Wenhu said when he saw Xu Chunliang was, "Chunliang, your leap is really big enough."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Secretary Xing, I am a brick of the revolution. I will move wherever I am needed. You taught me that I must obey orders at all times."

Xing Wenhu knew a little about Xu Chunliang's situation in Dongzhou, so he smiled and didn't continue the topic. He said to Jiang Yunna, "Xiao Jiang, how is this kid doing? If he doesn't listen, you can return him and I will teach him a lesson."

On the surface, he was asking about Xu Chunliang's work performance, but everyone else at the scene could hear that he was emphasizing that Xu Chunliang was his man, and that you should not just send him back, because I can protect him.

Jiang Yunna smiled and said, "Secretary Xing, Xiao Xu has performed very well. Although he has not been here for long, he has done a lot of practical things for our Jeju Tourism."

Jiang Qiyong, who was sitting next to Jiang Yunna, felt a little uncomfortable. What did Jiang Yunna mean? Was she saying that he didn't do practical work? Moreover, he came to Jeju to work with Xu Chunliang, but Xing Wenhu ignored him.

Xing Wenhu said: "This kid is capable and enthusiastic, but his personality is too strong. How to maximize his energy will test the ability of the superiors."

Li Zhenhai was also a little uncomfortable. Xing Wenhu meant that Xu Chunliang was very capable, and if he had any problems, it must be the leadership's problem. Li Zhenhai was not familiar with Xu Chunliang. In his opinion, Xu Chunliang was just an acquaintance of Xing Wenhu. But you can protect him, but there is no need to say it in front of so many people, right?

Li Zhenhai smiled and said, "I can see that Secretary Xing is reluctant to let Xiao Xu go. Don't worry, we don't take away someone's love. As long as Secretary Xing says a word, I will release him immediately."

Xing Wenhu said: "That's what you said."

Xu Chunliang knew that Xing Wenhu had good intentions, but discussing his own stay or departure in such an occasion still put him in a relatively awkward position. It would be easiest to resolve the embarrassment if Jiang Qiyong could speak up at this time, but Jiang Qiyong obviously did not have this awareness in front of his leader.

Jiang Yunna said in time: "Secretary Xing, you can't openly poach our Jeju Culture and Tourism. We are in need of people, and we want Xiao Xu to stay in Jeju and contribute more."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's okay, I have plenty of energy. If Secretary Xing is willing, I don't mind working part-time in Pinghai Culture and Tourism."

Everyone laughed at the same time. Xing Wenhu pointed at Xu Chunliang and said, "What did I say? This kid has great abilities and great ambitions."

Jiang Yunna said: "It is a good thing for young people to be ambitious. As long as they have a correct outlook on life, ambition can be transformed into motivation."

Xing Wenhu couldn't help but look at Jiang Yunna again and nodded with appreciation.

Although we came here today for a joint archaeological excavation, the most important part of the itinerary was actually visiting the Jeju New Culture Center. The main reason was that this complex of buildings was so beautifully built that Jeju couldn't help but show off this excellent report card in front of the guests. This is also human nature.

Xing Wenhu and a group of cultural and tourism officials from Pinghai were all dazzled by the new cultural center complex. Xing Wenhu exclaimed sincerely: "It's really beautiful. You should all learn from it and look at other people's buildings." He suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Yunna: "Xiao Jiang, what will be the main function of this place in the future?"

Jiang Yunna smiled and said, "Secretary Xing, this place will serve as a cultural display platform for Jeju in the future. The new museum, which is the building in the middle, has been confirmed."

Xing Wenhu nodded and said to Lu Ming: "My eyes light up."

Lu Ming nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. The new Dongzhou Museum was also under construction, but compared to here, their building seemed uncreative.

The officials of Lunan were all very proud to receive the compliments from the guests. Li Zhenhai said, "Jeju has spent its money wisely. When the underwater city excavation has results, the number of cultural relics in the Jeju Museum will be further supplemented."

Xing Wenhu said: "Secretary Li, we are doing a joint archaeological excavation, and we cannot enjoy the results alone."

Li Zhenhai smiled and said, "That's right, that's right!"

Although the two of them seemed to be chatting and laughing harmoniously, they were actually very clear about the differences in their minds. The people accompanying them also understood that if there was really a big discovery in the underwater city, I am afraid that both sides would fight over the ownership of the cultural relics.

Xue Anning, who was accompanying them, spoke up: "Now the most common practice in our archaeological community is to protect wherever we find something. The greatest significance of the underwater city may be the ancient city itself. The ancient city cannot be moved to the exhibition hall."

Xing Wenhu and Li Zhenhai both looked at this courageous girl and laughed. Xing Wenhu said, "Look, our words are useless. We still have to listen to the professionals."

The presence of people like Xing Wenhu and Li Zhenhai only represents the attention paid by the superior leaders to this joint archaeological expedition, and it cannot fundamentally change the progress of the archaeological expedition. Everyone understands this.

Jeju Culture and Tourism even viewed this event as an exchange between brother provinces and cities.

The event is short but the friendship lasts forever, and a banquet after the ceremony is indispensable.

Although Xing Wenhu repeatedly stressed the need for formalism, he could not refuse the invitation and still attended the banquet hosted by Jeju Culture and Tourism. The banquet did not last long and Xing Wenhu did not drink any alcohol.

After dinner, Xu Chunliang took him to the hotel where he was staying.

Xing Wenhu invited Xu Chunliang to stay for a while and gave him two boxes of tea.

Xu Chunliang was a little terrified: "Secretary Xing, if anyone wants to give it to you, it should be me who should give it to you. How come it's the other way around?"

Xing Wenhu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Yongqing asked me to bring the tea to you."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Is Sister Yongqing okay?"

Speaking of his daughter, Xing Wenhu couldn't hide his smile. He nodded and said, "We're getting married on the 12th of next month, with a colleague from her school."

Xu Chunliang was also happy for him after hearing this. Xing Yongqing had experienced too many ups and downs in his relationship and now he had finally found his home. It could be said that Xing Wenhu and his wife had finally put their minds at ease.

Xu Chunliang said: "Congratulations Secretary Xing, I will definitely be there for the wedding banquet."

Xing Wenhu said: "It depends on the situation. If you are busy with work, you don't have to make a special trip."

Xu Chunliang said: "I have plenty of time."

Xing Wenhu looked at Xu Chunliang with a smile: "What? Are you planning to work here for a long time? Just ask if you need my help."

Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you Secretary Xing for your concern. The working environment here is not bad."
