Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1438 Declined

Chen Xingmin smiled and said, "Your grades were average at the time, and Xiao Jiang was ranked first in the grade. All our hopes for the entire school were on her. Facts have proven that we were right, but we misjudged you. In the end, you actually stood out in the college entrance examination and got a good score of fifth in the grade."

Ye Guangzu said: "The power of love."

Jiang Yunna smiled and punched him lightly on the shoulder, her love for him evident in her words.

Chen Xingmin felt very relieved when looking at his two former students. As a teacher, there is no greater comfort than this. He knew that the intention of Jiang Yunna and his wife in arranging this dinner was to comfort him and Xu Chunliang for their regrets in the competition at the New Culture Center.

In fact, given Jiang Yunna's current status, there is no need for her to do this, which proves that she still cares about the past friendship between teacher and student.

Jiang Yunna and her husband were both sensible people. They just said it was a small gathering and did not mention the reason.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chen Xingmin said with emotion: "The Cultural and Tourism Bureau should be my last stop. In the future, Jeju's cultural tourism will still rely on young people like Xiao Xu."

Xu Chunliang asked, "What do you mean? Director Chen is planning to just lie down and let me do all the work?"

This sentence made everyone laugh.

Chen Xingmin said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that you have passion and motivation, so we should give you more opportunities to bring out your greater value. Old comrades like me are going downhill in every aspect, and all I can talk about is experience, but experience usually becomes a constraint and even causes negative effects."

Jiang Yunna said, "Teacher Chen, your words prove that you are not old at all. You are open-minded in considering issues. Old comrades like you are extremely necessary. You can control the direction and pace to prevent energetic young people from running off the track or too fast. You should pull the reins at the critical moment."

Xu Chunliang said: "Sister, I understand. My position is the ox or horse, and Teacher Chen is the driver."

Jiang Yunna smiled and said, "We all need to have the spirit of an ox or a horse."

Ye Guangzu said: "I have experience in this area. In order for Xiao Jiang to better serve the people, I will do a good job in logistics."

Xu Chunliang said: "Why do I feel like you are a little unhappy?"

Jiang Yunna nodded: "I heard it too."

Ye Guangzu smiled and said, "Don't stir up trouble, my loyalty to your sister is evident to all."

Chen Xingmin said: "Guangzu is reliable."

Ye Guangzu said: "Teacher Chen has to understand me, Chunliang, let's do it together."

Xu Chunliang drank the cup and returned it with another one. Good things come in pairs, so there is no such thing as just one cup.

Jiang Yunna reminded Ye Guangzu to drink less because he couldn't drink much.

Ye Guangzu didn't drink much but his face was already red all the way to his neck: "Chunliang, I need your help with something."

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Ye Guangzu heard that Xu Chunliang had worked in Changxing Hospital in the past, and wanted to contact Shu Yuanhang through him to help guide their cardiothoracic surgery work.

For Xu Chunliang, this was just a piece of cake. In front of Ye Guangzu, he called Shu Yuanhang. Shu Yuanhang readily agreed and agreed to visit the hospital next week.

The atmosphere of the dinner was harmonious, but it did not last too long. Chen Xingmin knew that Jiang Yunna was very busy, so he took the initiative to suggest ending it early so that she could go back and rest.

After saying goodbye to Jiang Yunna and her husband at the door, Xu Chunliang offered to send Chen Xingmin off. After asking, he found out that the two lived not far away.

Xu Chunliang sent Chen Xingmin to the gate of the community. Chen Xingmin did not go in immediately. He said to Xu Chunliang with emotion: "Chunliang, I had prejudices against you in the past. Please don't take it to heart."

"Director Chen, where are you going? People will gradually understand each other."

Chen Xingmin sighed and said, "I can't tolerate any injustice. To be honest, I can't stand the way some people act, sacrificing the collective interests in order to achieve their goals."

Xu Chunliang knew who he was referring to, and said with a smile, "Director Chen has been working for so many years, and he is still able to maintain his upright character, which is admirable."

Chen Xingmin shook his head: "Don't learn from me. People like me are outliers."

"What's wrong with being an outlier? The world is muddy, but I am the only one who is pure. To some extent, I am an outlier, but this doesn't mean that such persistence is wrong, don't you think?"

Chen Xingmin was obviously a little excited. He held Xu Chunliang's hand and shook it vigorously. Xu Chunliang noticed that he was getting more and more drunk and insisted on sending him home.

Not long after returning to his residence, Jiang Yunna sent a message asking him whether he had arrived safely. Xu Chunliang told her truthfully that he had sent Chen Xingmin away, and Jiang Yunna was relieved.

The allocation plan for the new cultural center has been finalized, and the overall relocation of the museum has been put on the agenda immediately. The usable area of ​​the new museum is seven times larger than before, and the supporting facilities in all aspects are incomparable. Although the hardware facilities are sufficient, whether the museum can improve its grade and undergo a complete transformation depends on the exhibition.

Xu Chunliang is not a professional museum manager, but he has such an expert around him. Huang Wanglin is not only highly respected in the collecting community, but he also owns one of the top private museums in the country and is experienced in the allocation of exhibition halls and the arrangement of exhibits.

Xu Chunliang immediately hired Huang Wanglin as the honorary director and lifelong consultant of Jeju Museum. Huang Wanglin did not care about the title, but he had a special interest in organizing cultural relics and happily accepted Xu Chunliang's invitation.

Xu Chunliang did not forget to bring his cousin Zhou Yangming into the group. Zhou Yangming declined Xu Chunliang's request on the grounds that he was unpredictable and not good at dealing with people in the system. Zhou Yangming recommended Xue Anning.

Xu Chunliang pondered Xue Anning's recent attitude and gave up the idea. He estimated that Xue Anning might not agree even if he proposed it, so there was no point in trying to please her.

But the world is full of opportunities, and it just so happened that Ye Qingya and her daughter came to Jeju. This time they came for private matters. Lin Sijin started writing a novel based on the Xu and Zhou families but chose to put it aside soon because she felt that the information on hand was a little insufficient and she wanted to know more materials, mainly about the Zhou family.

When she talked about this with Xu Chunliang in private, Xu Chunliang told her that he had just recognized a cousin, so Lin Sijin decided to come over and talk to Zhou Yangming in person to see if he could reveal some family information.

Zhou Yangming did not object to this. Since she was Xu Chunliang's godmother, and therefore a family relative, he would tell her everything he knew.

On the day Lin Sijin and her daughter arrived in Jeju, Xu Chunliang arranged a gathering at the old house.

Inviting guests to dinner at home is the highest honor of hospitality. After hearing about it, Zhou Yangming volunteered to be the chef. Xu Chunliang invited Xue Anning because she and Ye Qingya were classmates and friends.

Ye Qingya also knew Zhou Yangming. They did not study the same major in college, but she had long heard of Zhou Yangming's talent. She also knew a little about him and Xue Anning. Under Xu Chunliang's questioning, she revealed some information to him. Zhou Yangming and Xue Anning had indeed been in a relationship, but the two handled their relationship in a low-key manner, so not many people knew about it.

Later on, for some unknown reason, the two of them drifted apart. Xue Anning was extremely competitive, and although he appeared to be fine, he was actually badly hurt, otherwise their relationship wouldn't be so empty until now.

Xu Chunliang also gave Ye Qingya a letter of employment. The museum's exhibition is a test of aesthetic vision, and Ye Qingya is first-class in this regard.

Lin Sijin particularly liked the courtyard of the old house. She learned that the layout of the old house was designed by Zhou Renhe during his lifetime. After passing it on to Xu Chunliang, Xu Chunliang kept it intact and invited a gardener to come and maintain it every once in a while, basically the same as it was when Grandpa Zhou was alive.

Lin Sijin said: "I have met Mr. Zhou once before. He is not only an excellent doctor but also has extraordinary knowledge."

Xu Chunliang thought about it and thought it was normal. After all, Lin Sijin was the leader of the Chinese Medicine Administration Committee, and Zhou Renhe was a famous doctor. The two had met before, but they didn't have much contact.

Ye Qingya deliberately asked Xue Anning to go to the kitchen to help, in order to create an opportunity for her and Zhou Yangming.

Ye Qingya found an opportunity to leave the kitchen. Xue Anning saw Zhou Yangming's skillful stirring of the wok and couldn't help but say, "I remember that you used to be a lazy young master."

Zhou Yangming smiled and said, "People have to be independent sooner or later."

Xue Anning sighed in sympathy.

Zhou Yangming asked: "Did Chunliang tell you?"

Xue An Ning asked: "What?"

As soon as Zhou Yangming heard it, he knew that Xu Chunliang had not spoken a word, so he told her that Xu Chunliang needed help with the new museum.

Xue An Ning asked: "Why don't you agree?"

Zhou Yangming said: "I am used to running around. If I promise him but can't do it, won't he be disappointed?"

Xue An Ning said: "Do you think I have nothing to do? I have a job, too. Besides, your cousin is always trying to trip me up, why should I help him?"

Zhou Yangming said: "I don't think he is targeting you. I know Chunliang quite well. He respects others as much as they respect him. Through this opportunity, you can just ease the relationship, which will also be good for the future work of your archaeological team."

Xue An Ning said: "It is a blessing for him to have a cousin like you. Okay, if you want me to help him, I will."

"The crabs are steamed. Please help me bring them down."

"If you ask me to help, I have to help." Xue An Ning said this, but her actions revealed her thoughts.

Zhou Yangming's cooking skills were praised by everyone. Although Xue Anning did not praise him as much as others, her feelings for him increased a little bit. She couldn't help but think that she was afraid that others could not enter her heart.

Lin Sijin said: "Xiao Zhou is so young and yet he can cook such delicious dishes. He can already compare to the chefs in five-star hotels."

Zhou Yangming smiled and said, "Aunt Lin, you are too kind. I have not received any formal training. I usually wander around outside, especially abroad. I am not used to their food, so I started to try to cook it myself. I have improved my cooking skills unknowingly. However, I am at most a wild cook and cannot be put on the table."
