Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1439 The outline is online

Xu Chunliang said: "Wild chefs are good. I like to eat food cooked by wild chefs. What's the point of having a formal education? It's nothing more than a place to cultivate empiricism and dogmatism."

Lin Sijin laughed and said, "Eating a meal is actually becoming a big deal."

Ye Qingya said: "Chunliang is right. Last time An Ning invited us to a private dinner, the chef was not a professional chef."

Xu Chunliang asked, "Are you talking about Yang Chunxi?"

Ye Qingya nodded.

Xu Chunliang deliberately glanced at Xue Anning and said, "Sister Xue, I'm going to Beijing next month. Please help me arrange another meal. I can't forget his cooking skills."

Xue Anning said: "He doesn't do it anymore."

Xu Chunliang asked: "Not doing it anymore? Why?"

Xue An Ning said: "I'm not him, how would I know why?"

Ye Qingya was worried that Xu Chunliang would be embarrassed, so she quickly said, "I guess all chefs have personalities."

Xu Chunliang had no intention of dropping the topic and continued, "How did you get to know him?"

Xue An Ning said: "A friend introduced him to me. I'm not that familiar with him."

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "It's best if we're not familiar with him. He doesn't look like a good person."

Xue An Ning was so angry at his words that she laughed: "You are familiar with him? How can you conclude that he is not a good person?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I am very good at judging people."

Xue An Ning was about to scold him, but Lin Sijin unexpectedly said, "Chunliang is really good at this."

Xue An Ning had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Xu Chunliang's godmother was really nice to him. She felt humble in front of Lin Sijin from the bottom of her heart. This was not only because of age and seniority, but also because of Lin Sijin's family background and position.

After dinner, Lin Sijin and Zhou Yangming chatted alone. Xu Chunliang knew that the main purpose of his godmother's visit this time was to dig up more information about the Zhou family through his cousin, so he proposed to take Ye Qingya to visit the ancient city. Xue Anning was not very interested in visiting the ancient city, so he left early on the pretext of going back to prepare for archaeological work.

This was not Ye Qingya's first visit to Jeju, but she had never properly toured the ancient city. There were not many real ancient buildings in Jeju Ancient City, and most of them were rebuilt in recent years. With the rise of cultural tourism, a boom in ancient buildings had swept through the cities in southern Shandong. Ancient cities could be seen everywhere, some of which were restored and expanded on the original site, while others were simply rebuilt from the ground up. Looking at the entire ancient city, it was all reinforced concrete buildings. In Xu Chunliang's opinion, such reconstruction was meaningless.

Ye Qingya is more obsessed with traditional culture. It is for this reason that she purchased a homestay in Nan'an. After all, there are still a few real ancient buildings in the ancient city of Jeju. The two came to a chastity archway that was built during the Daoguang period.

Ye Qingya watched the guided tour on the side and learned about the relevant history. She couldn't help but feel touched. The words chastity and filial piety have bound so many people's minds. The influence of her wrong marriage with Qiao Rulong has not faded on her until now. Because of their separation and reunion, the relationship between the two families has also experienced ups and downs. The relationship between the two old men will never return to the way it was before.

Xu Chunliang saw her lost expression, guessed what she was thinking, and offered to go to the nearby Confucian Temple.

Ye Qingya suddenly lost interest and said softly, "Let's go back. I'm tired and want to rest."

Xu Chunliang nodded.

On the way back, Ye Qingya said, "Grandpa said he wanted to be buried in his hometown in northern Jiangxi after a hundred years."

Xu Chunliang said: "Everyone has the idea of ​​returning to their roots."

Ye Qingya shook her head: "That's not the reason. I feel like Grandpa has become indifferent to life."

Xu Chunliang said: "Isn't it normal for an old man to look down on life at his level?" In fact, he understood what Ye Qingya wanted to say. Old Ye had lost the motivation to live. Ye Changyuan's death caused him a deep psychological blow. Old Ye even thought that he had to take some responsibility for his son's death. If he was willing to intervene, his son would not have gone to work at the Disaster Reduction Committee, and the subsequent tragedy would not have happened.

The recent internal adjustments in the civil affairs system are related to Mr. Ye. Tan Xinmin’s fall from power can be understood as an explanation for Ye Changyuan’s death in the line of duty.

The last time Xu Chunliang went to Beijing to see Mr. Ye, he could feel his inner conflict.

Ye Qingya said: "Chunliang, I have a bad feeling."

Xu Chunliang counseled: "Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm always here for you."

Ye Qingya nodded and felt a chill on her cheek. She looked up and saw spring snow falling from the gray sky.

This spring snow came suddenly, causing the temperature in the area around Weishan Lake to drop sharply. The lake and mountains, which had just turned green, turned into ink painting in an instant.

Mei Ruxue welcomed her elder brother Qiao Rulong in the spring snow. Qiao Rulong came to Dongzhou as an investor. After settling down for a period of time, Qiao Rulong founded Panshi Capital. This time he came to Dongzhou to negotiate the acquisition of Enheng Pharmaceutical.

Before discussing business, I came to visit my sister and asked for her opinion on the matter.

Mei Ruxue was very surprised to hear the news. Enheng Pharmaceutical is a major profit and tax contributor in Dongzhou and a well-known listed pharmaceutical company. Enheng's business performance has always been good. She wondered why he had the idea of ​​acquiring it?

Qiao Rulong showed his sister some information. The situation of Enheng Pharmaceutical was not as optimistic as it seemed. In recent years, the company's management had changed frequently, and there had been constant infighting among the major shareholders, especially the couple Liang Wenjing and Sheng Chaohui. Their marriage was in name only, and the two were busy fighting for power and profit. In such an environment, the company's business was getting worse and worse.

Sheng Chaohui could no longer tolerate his marriage and had the idea of ​​transferring his shares. He secretly contacted several potential buyers. Of course, his shares alone were not enough to acquire Enheng. Sheng Chaohui was also aware of this, so he spent a lot of energy to plan this matter and won over some allies.

Mei Ruxue frowned after reading the information provided by Qiao Rulong. As the person in charge of Binhu New District, she didn't want to see this scene. Enheng Group was one of the portal enterprises in Dongzhou. The eldest brother was indeed good at business. His connections and background were far better than Liang Wenjing's, but this did not mean that Enheng would be able to develop healthily in his hands.

Mei Ruxue knew her brother well. He was not a person who could patiently run a business entity. For him, the purpose of an acquisition was to sell it. After a series of capital operations, he would allow the target company to increase its value in a short period of time, and then cash in the profits at a price he deemed appropriate. In the business context, such an approach was understandable, but it was definitely not a good thing for the company.

Qiao Rulong saw from his sister's reaction that her attitude was not positive, so he smiled and said, "Do you think it's feasible?"

Mei Ruxue said: "Brother, I don't understand business matters. Besides, the headquarters of Enheng Group is within my jurisdiction, so it is not appropriate for me to express my opinion."

Qiao Rulong said: "I understand, but I still want to hear your opinion."

Mei Ruxue said: "Since you said so, let me tell you my opinion. Are you acquiring Enheng for long-term operation or for short-term arbitrage?"

Qiao Rulong asked, "Are you worried that I will transfer the company after the acquisition and make a profit from it?"

Mei Ruxue said: "I have some understanding of capital operations."

Qiao Rulong laughed: "Don't worry, if I want to operate capital, there are better targets, I will not choose Enheng at all. To be honest, the reason why I want to do entity business is because of my grandfather. During the Chinese New Year, he talked to me and advised me to be down-to-earth and do more meaningful things for the society."

Qiao Rulong's words still failed to dispel Mei Ruxue's doubts: "Then why did you choose a field that you are not familiar with?"

Qiao Rulong said: "After the car accident, although I was lucky enough to escape death, it is impossible for me to recover to my previous state. I don't know how long this heart can beat. I will have to rely on drugs for the rest of my life. There are indeed many drugs available, but the drugs I take have more or less side effects, and these side effects are constantly damaging my body."

Mei Ruxue nodded. What he said was all true. "So you have the idea of ​​acquiring a pharmaceutical company and setting up your own team to do research and development?"

"Yes, after I successfully acquire Enheng, I will set up a first-class drug research and development team. In addition, I will also invest in the research and development of artificial hearts to provide them to more people in need. This should also be considered a contribution to society."

Mei Ruxue said: "If it can really succeed, it will be a great merit."

Qiao Rulong smiled and said, "Why? You don't have confidence in me?"

Mei Ruxue said: "Have confidence. I have been proud of you since I was a child."

Qiao Rulong said: "As long as you are not disappointed."

Mei Ruxue looked at her brother and had a strange feeling in her heart. Her brother had changed. She couldn't tell exactly where he had changed, but she just felt a sense of strangeness. Perhaps people who have experienced life and death will have some changes in their personality.

Qiao Rulong said softly: "Xiaoxue, I feel that you have changed."

Mei Ruxue was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Qiao Rulong said: "You are more mature than before. In the past, you always asked me for help when you encountered problems, but after seeing you today, I feel that you can handle anything by yourself and you don't need my help anymore."

Mei Ruxue said: "I feel like you keep reminding me that I'm not young anymore."

They both laughed at the same time, and Qiao Rulong asked, "Has he come to see you recently?"

Mei Ruxue's smile faded. She knew who her brother was talking about: "Brother, it seems you can't help me with my personal emotional affairs."

Qiao Rulong said: "I just care about you and worry that you can't handle it well."

Mei Ruxue said calmly: "You should take care of your own affairs first."

Qiao Rulong pursed his lips, his expression a little awkward. He had made a mess of his own emotional life, and he had no right to make irresponsible remarks in front of his sister.

After Mei Ruxue finished speaking, she realized that she had not been able to control her emotions. She sighed and said, "There are some feelings that people like us don't deserve."
