Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1437 Fear

Jiang Qiyong affirmed Xu Chunliang's work enthusiasm: "Chunliang, I have seen your efforts during this period, and your work performance is also very outstanding. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to cope with it."

Jiang Qiyong was telling the truth. When he first learned that Xu Chunliang was coming to Jeju, he felt a little headache. After all, Xu Chunliang was notoriously difficult to deal with within Dongzhou, and Xu Chunliang lacked awe of him. To be precise, he was a little in awe of Xu Chunliang deep down in his heart.

The two had dealt with each other in the past and had worked together in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so they knew each other well. Jiang Qiyong didn't want to have such a person around to remind him, but he couldn't stop Xu Chunliang from coming.

However, after the two arrived in Jeju, Xu Chunliang was obviously not as flamboyant as before. He became much more low-key and pragmatic. He also showed considerable respect for his leader Jiang Qiyong. He would complete the tasks assigned to him by Jiang Qiyong successfully, whether he was willing or not.

In Jiang Qiyong's opinion, this is Xu Chunliang's ability. Given the current situation, it can be said that there is no one who can replace him.

Since Jiang Qiyong was unwilling to come forward, matters of the new cultural center became a matter of course. Although Jiang Yunna advocated handing over the new cultural center to the Culture and Tourism Bureau, her opinion did not represent the final decision.

Naturally, she noticed Jiang Qiyong's laziness in this matter. Jiang Yunna was also aware of Jiang Qiyong's background, so she couldn't help but think that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was.

The final result was uneventful. The new cultural center was divided among the three parties. The east building was given to the museum, which was the original plan. The other two main buildings were given to the Science and Technology Bureau and the Planning Bureau, respectively. The Planning Museum, in particular, occupied the central position. This also fully demonstrated the importance that Jeju leaders attached to urban planning and future development.

Some are happy while others are sad. In the eyes of outsiders, the China Tourism Bureau is undoubtedly the lost party.

Jiang Qiyong also pretended to make a summary at the internal meeting. He first reviewed himself and then took the opportunity to assign responsibilities, pointing the finger at Chen Xingmin.

"Comrade Xingmin, what do you think is the main reason for not achieving our goal this time? In what aspects have we not done enough?"

Chen Xingmin's face was very ugly. He knew very well that Jiang Qiyong was embarrassing him in public. Since he had called his name, he certainly could not remain silent. He cleared his throat and said, "I am a little disappointed about this incident, but I don't regret it. Man proposes, God disposes. It is not that people will get ideal results just by working hard."

Jiang Qiyong was furious when he heard this. What did Chen Xingmin mean? You did nothing wrong. You tried hard. Are all the mistakes mine? You old man, you are taking advantage of your age. Do you really think I can't deal with you? He looked at Xu Chunliang, hoping that Xu Chunliang would say something, and preferably admit his mistakes and shortcomings.

Xu Chunliang deliberately didn't respond. He understood what Jiang Qiyong meant, but asking him to stand up now was tantamount to asking him to openly contradict Chen Xingmin. This guy really thought of himself as a panacea and wanted to push himself to the front row no matter what happened.

It's not that Xu Chunliang didn't cooperate, but Chen Xingmin did nothing wrong in this matter, and Jiang Qiyong's tactics this time were a bit shady. Xu Chunliang hated people who were too selfish, and Jiang Qiyong was just like that.

Seeing that Xu Chunliang didn't react, Jiang Qiyong could only call out his name directly: "Xiao Xu, analyze the reason for your failure this time?"

Being called out in public, Xu Chunliang couldn't remain silent. He nodded and said, "I'm also very sorry about the result this time, but this shouldn't and won't be a reason for us to be discouraged. I will work with everyone to sum up our experience and strive to prevent the same thing from happening again in the future."

Jiang Qiyong was surprised. That's it! Are you too perfunctory? If it ends like this, Jiang Qiyong will not be willing to miss this opportunity to strike Chen Xingmin. His eyes continue to lock on Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chun said to himself, "Don't you know how to quit while you're ahead? Do you have to make me admit my mistakes in public and drag Chen Xingmin into this? I have only done good things for the Culture and Tourism Bureau and never done anything wrong."

"Xiao Xu, Director Jiang wants you to analyze the reasons for the failure!" Deputy Director Ding Yifeng interrupted with great tact.

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but once he opened his mouth, Xu Chunliang immediately found a channel to vent.

Xu Chunliang looked at Ding Yifeng coldly and said, "As long as you do practical things, there is a possibility of failure. If you do nothing, you won't fail, and you won't even make mistakes! Are there only a few people left in our Cultural and Tourism Bureau who are doing the work? When something goes wrong, these people take the lead. If things are not handled well, the people who do the work will be held responsible. What kind of logic is this?"

Although his words were directed at Ding Yifeng, he was actually talking to everyone present.

Ding Yifeng couldn't hold his face anymore, and snorted coldly, "Xiao Xu, what do you mean by that? Are you the only one working in the Cultural and Tourism Bureau? We didn't contribute at all?"

"What have you done? There have been many complaints about security issues in various departments of the bureau. Have they been resolved? Did you show up when such a big thing happened at the museum? Did you contribute anything from the beginning to the end in the fight for the new cultural center?"

Ding Yifeng's face flushed with anger: "I don't necessarily have to let you see everything I do."

Xu Chunliang said: "I don't need you to see how much effort I put in, and you are not qualified to judge my success or failure!"

Now even Jiang Qiyong felt a little embarrassed. He knew what kind of person Xu Chunliang was. If he really made this guy angry, he would not give face to anyone, including himself.

Jiang Qiyong realized it was time to cool down and said, "Stop talking, Xiao Xu. No one has denied your contribution. Young man, don't be too angry. I'm not asking you to admit your mistakes. Is there a deviation in your understanding of the direction?"

Then he turned to Ding Yifeng and said, "Old Ding, don't argue with young people about everything. Xiao Xu was right. The result of the new cultural center was not as good as expected, and it was not all his personal fault. Don't you have any responsibility at all?"

Ding Yifeng was speechless and cursed in his heart, "What the hell is my responsibility? I'm just speaking for you!"

Chen Xingmin said, "Director Jiang is right!" He agreed with Jiang Qiyong and stepped on Ding Yifeng.

He just said it was right without specifying exactly why it was right. Jiang Qiyong thought he was a veteran.

Ding Yifeng cursed in his heart, they are both worthless, one is taking advantage of others' misfortune, the other is trying to protect himself. Jiang Qiyong ended the meeting at the right time: "Let's adjourn the meeting, everyone go back and summarize it, and discuss it again when there is a chance."

Everyone understood that this matter was over. Jiang Qiyong should have returned empty-handed today, Chen Xingmin escaped unharmed, and Ding Yifeng was in disgrace.

After the meeting, Jiang Qiyong called Xu Chunliang to his office, and said to Xu Chunliang, suppressing his dissatisfaction, "Chunliang, I didn't come to criticize you in today's meeting. I have to go through the motions in front of so many people, otherwise they will accuse me of protecting you."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I understand. The reason why I'm angry today is because of Ding Yifeng. I've been displeased with him for a long time. Look at what he can do today."

Jiang Qiyong followed Xu Chunliang's words and said, "How could I not know who Ding Yifeng is? But today is a meeting, and he is the deputy director, you should at least give him some face."

"His face is important, but mine is not?"

Jiang Qiyong felt more and more depressed. He should not have agreed to let Xu Chunliang come with him. Although this guy was capable, he was difficult to control. He had to be careful when talking to him. How could a leader be as frustrated as he was?

Xu Chunliang said: "Director Jiang, if you feel that my presence makes it difficult to carry out work, I can move to another place."

Jiang Qiyong was eager for him to leave, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear of offending Xu Chunliang. He grinned and said, "What are you talking about? Who will help me if you leave?"

Xu Chun said conscientiously that there were many people helping him, and one more person was not needed. He was a little disappointed with Jiang Qiyong, and took the initiative to leave after chatting for a few words. Jiang Qiyong did not try to keep him, and he could not convince him even if he stayed.

Xu Chunliang returned to his office and received a call from Ye Guangzu, inviting him to dinner tonight. The invitation was a bit sudden, but he could not refuse because the real host was Jiang Yunna, and he had to give face to Mayor Jiang.

The place to eat was decided. Considering Jiang Yunna's special status, they rarely went to hotels outside to eat.

When Xu Chunliang arrived at the entrance of the banquet building, he happened to meet Chen Xingmin. He knew why he came without asking, so Xu Chunliang called him Director Chen.

Chen Xingmin smiled. He didn’t know Xu Chunliang was coming. He thought Ye Guangzu and his wife wanted him to be their teacher.

The two arrived at the reserved Dongshan Hall. Ye Guangzu had already arrived, but Jiang Yunna had something urgent to do and would be late.

Ye Guangzu apologized repeatedly: "Teacher Chen, I'm sorry, Xiao Jiang will be late."

Chen Xingmin smiled and said, "She is busy. She doesn't have her own time in this position."

Ye Guangzu sighed and said, "That's right. We two rarely have time to communicate alone."

Chen Xingmin said: "You have to be more considerate of her."

Ye Guangzu said: "Teacher Chen, you can rest assured about this."

Chen Xingmin smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You were very good at taking care of her when you were in high school."

Xu Chunliang said: "Teacher Chen, you mean that when they were in high school..."

Ye Guangzu quickly denied: "No, no, we were only focused on studying at that time, so we didn't care about other things."

Chen Xingmin said: "She is definitely, but you may not be."

The three of them laughed together. At this time, Jiang Yunna arrived and saw the scene in front of them. She smiled and said, "What are you talking about so happily?"

Xu Chunliang said, "We were talking about your early love in high school."

Jiang Yunna chuckled: "That's not the case."

Ye Guangzu nodded and said, "I'll tell you."

Xu Chunliang said: "Brother-in-law didn't write you a love letter or anything?"

Jiang Yunna glanced at her husband and said, "Yes, I wrote it, but I ignored him."

Chen Xingmin said: "Guangzu, if I had known that at the time, I would have asked you to call your parents."

Ye Guangzu said: "In your eyes, I was not a good student at that time. You were worried that I would lead the top students astray."
