Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1440 Public Area

The meeting between Lin Sijin and Zhou Yangming was very harmonious. She had a very good impression of her cousin Xu Chunliang, who was smart, wise, frank and sincere, and did not deliberately conceal the family's past.

Before liberation, the Zhou family started out as tomb robbers, but in those turbulent times, the first thing people considered was survival, and his family suffered too many misfortunes because of this.

Zhou Yangming also made a request that was not excessive, asking her to hide her family name when creating her work, as he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.

When Xu Chunliang and Ye Qingya returned to the old house, Zhou Yangming had already left, leaving Lin Sijin alone sitting in the tea room writing furiously.

Ye Qingya knew that her mother was organizing her thoughts, and reminded Xu Chunliang not to disturb her at this time.

The two went to the restaurant and found that it was tidy and spotless. Ye Qingya couldn't help but praise: "Your cousin is really a hardworking man."

Xu Chunliang said: "It may have something to do with his traveling around. He has to rely on himself wherever he goes."

Ye Qingya said: "Your family members are all legendary and have their own personalities."

Xu Chunliang smiled slightly. He went to the coffee machine and made two cups of coffee. He handed them to Ye Qingya first. The coffee beans were sent to him by Ye Qingya.

Ye Qingya leaned against the window. The spring snow outside the window was much heavier than before. The cold wind danced with the branches that had not yet sprouted new green leaves, and kept hitting the glass windows. The room was warm like spring.

Xu Chunliang made his own coffee and came to Ye Qingya. They stood side by side in front of the window. For some reason, Ye Qingya suddenly laughed.

Xu Chunliang looked at her in surprise, and then he realized what was going on and started laughing.

Ye Qingya asked: "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Wouldn't it be rude if I didn't laugh along now?"

Ye Qingya said: "You don't have to accommodate me like this."

Xu Chunliang's cell phone rang. It was Jiang Qiyong calling, informing him to attend a coordination meeting tomorrow. In fact, it was a tripartite meeting between the Culture and Tourism Bureau, the Science and Technology Bureau, and the Planning Bureau. The city divided the new cultural center into three parts like cutting a cake and gave them to the three departments respectively. The three departments will face relocation work in the future. Among them, the Planning Museum already existed but was relatively small in scale, so it would just need to be moved there as a whole. The Science and Technology Museum only had a concept in the past, so it would be a newly established department.

Jiang Qiyong told Xu Chunliang to remember that friendship comes first and to be tolerant in implementing specific plans. They are all his comrades and there is nothing that cannot be discussed. If he encounters problems that cannot be solved, he can report them to him.

Xu Chunliang was a little puzzled as to why Jiang Qiyong didn't attend in person if he attached so much importance to this matter. After asking, he found out that the heads of the three departments would not be present tomorrow. Anyway, they would discuss the specific details of the work, soldiers meeting with soldiers and generals meeting with generals. Jiang Qiyong attached great importance to this point.

Xu Chunliang hung up the phone, feeling a little unhappy. Jiang Qiyong really thought of himself as a panacea, and he could be applied wherever needed. On second thought, with Jiang Qiyong's intelligence, he should be able to see his impatience. Maybe he did this on purpose to make him tired of his current job and quit voluntarily.

Ye Qingya noticed that his mood had changed after he received the call, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with your work?"

Xu Chunliang said: "No, it may be that I have been working in the system for a long time, and the novelty has worn off. I always feel that there is not much meaning in continuing like this."

Ye Qingya smiled and said, "Mom said you are not suitable for working in the system. Even if you stay, your future development will be limited."

Xu Chunliang asked: "Did she really say that?"

Ye Qingya nodded. Lin Sijin happened to come over at this moment. As soon as she entered the door, she scolded: "You two are hiding here drinking coffee, but you didn't even bring me a cup."

Ye Qingya said: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to send it to you, I'm just worried that it will disturb your thoughts."

Lin Sijin smiled and shook her head, "I don't have any ideas. I just sorted out the materials that Xiao Zhou told me. I gained a lot today. I didn't expect the Zhou family's family history to be so legendary."

Xu Chunliang said: "Godmother, you must try to write about our families in a positive way."

Lin Sijin smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. People are multifaceted. Have you read my novel?"

Xu Chunliang really hadn't read it, so Ye Qingya came to his rescue and said, "He is so busy at work, how can he have time to read your novel?"

Xu Chunliang said: "If I were to say I've read it, I've actually flipped through a few pages. I honestly admit that I haven't finished it yet."

Ye Qingya went to make a cup of coffee for her mother. Lin Sijin took it and smelled the aroma of the coffee, and said softly: "The taste of this coffee is somewhat familiar."

Ye Qingya's pretty face turned red when she heard this, and she quickly turned around and went to the coffee machine, pretending to get another cup. Lin Sijin took a sip of coffee and said, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I was discussing my career plan with Sister Qingya. Sister Qingya said that I am not suitable for working in the system. Even if I stay, my future development will be limited."

Lin Sijin glanced at her daughter again, catching the blush on her pretty face, and said softly, "She didn't say that. She has never worked in the system."

Ye Qingya said: "Mom, you are saying that I am ignorant."

Lin Sijin smiled and said, "I didn't say that. I remember the last time we talked about Chunliang, I said that he was immature in everything he did. He chose the system just out of curiosity. Once he saw the tricks inside, he lost interest."

Xu Chunliang said: "Godmother, why does it sound like you are praising me?"

Lin Sijin asked: "Do you like being praised so much?"

"That's not it."

Lin Sijin said: "The court and the underworld are essentially the same, except that the methods used in the former are more covert and complicated. Anyone who stays in it for a long time will get tired. This is why I supported Qingya's choice to live her own life."

Ye Qingya didn't say anything. In career choices and marriage issues, her mother had always stood on her side, but she didn't understand her mother well enough in the past. Since her father passed away, the relationship between mother and daughter has become closer and closer, and the gap between them has disappeared unknowingly. She is lucky to have such a mother.

Xu Chunliang said: "It's not that I'm tired, but I think it's meaningless to be so scheming all day long. It's hard to find true friends in the system."

Lin Sijin said: "I just thought it was a joke. It's such a naive idea to want to find friends in the system."

Ye Qingya said: "There are always good and bad people in every place. It is impossible not to find a true friend among so many people."

Lin Sijin said: "It's just interests. Common interests will bring you closer. Once the interests conflict, you will find that the so-called friendship is as thin as paper!"

Xu Chunliang knew that what Lin Sijin said was true, and his words about finding a true friend were just an excuse. However, Ye Qingya still refused to accept this cruel reality: "That can't be generalized."

Lin Sijin didn't need to decide who won or lost with her daughter on this matter. Anyway, her daughter didn't work in the system, so there was no point in persuading her. Real friends? The decades-long friendship between Mr. Ye, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Qiao couldn't even stand the test, let alone other things.

Lin Sijin knew her godson a little bit. She looked into Xu Chunliang's eyes and said, "What? Are you tired of this place? If you want to change your environment, you can tell me."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Changing the environment is nothing more than jumping from one pit to another. Godmother, I haven't thought it through yet."

Ye Qingya said: "Your medical skills are so great, why don't you choose to save the world and reopen Huichuntang to carry forward Grandpa Xu's medical skills?"

Lin Sijin laughed secretly in her heart. Her daughter didn't know Xu Chunliang well enough. This guy was definitely not the kind of guy who was dedicated to curing illnesses and saving lives.

Xu Chunliang said: "Sister Qingya's words are worth considering. I will think about it carefully."

Xu Chunliang left the old house to Lin Sijin and her daughter to live in temporarily, and returned to the museum in the wind and snow. The museum was a busy scene, and all departments were working in an orderly manner under the unified command of Lu Yunqi.

Xu Chunliang went to inspect the museum first and expressed satisfaction with Lu Yunqi's management and execution capabilities. He had to admit that he had been under considerable pressure in the appointment of Lu Yunqi. Now it has been proved that his insistence was correct. Without Lu Yunqi, he would have to personally take care of so many things in the museum, which was a headache just thinking about it.

Xu Chunliang told them about the discussion that he would have with the leaders of the Science and Technology Museum and the Planning Museum tomorrow. In his opinion, such a discussion was meaningless, but Lu Yunqi expressed a different view. Although the city gave the three buildings to their three units respectively, it did not specify the public areas involved, which included large squares and green spaces, as well as underground parking lots.

There is not much difference between the public and private sectors on some issues. If ordinary people fight over a piece of green space, public institutions will also get embarrassed.

Lu Yunqi's reminder made Xu Chunliang pay attention to this matter. Honorary curator Huang Wanglin went back to Beijing for work these two days, and Pu Jian stayed to help him. Xu Chunliang quickly called Pu Jian over. Pu Jian called up a preliminary planning map from the computer. Mr. Huang Sanye had already given the tour route of the new museum and the pedestrian area diversion map outside. Don't underestimate this diversion map. It is very important after the museum is officially opened. It is necessary to fully consider the order and safety of future tourists, as well as the maximum pressure on the museum.

In this diversion map, the activity area outside the museum almost accounts for half of the public area, which means that if they follow the principle of fair distribution, they will not be able to achieve the plan on the drawing at all.

Xu Chunliang stared at the picture and said, "It's not a big problem actually. Since it's a public area, everyone can use it. We are all brothers and sisters. We have a lot of tourists here, so they should understand."

Lu Yunqi didn't see it that way. He shook his head and said, "Director Xu, I think you shouldn't be too optimistic. The three units are not the same. I have inquired. The director of the Science and Technology Museum is Tian Liwen, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Bureau, and the director of the Planning Museum is Li Minghui. He is a veteran and not easy to talk to."
