Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1498 Unbreakable

Xu Chunliang shook his head: "I came here with a friend."

Xu Dongya asked, "Xiahou Mulan, right?"

Xu Chunliang was not surprised at all. Xu Dongya also wanted to swallow Enheng, but King Xiang was interested in the witch Wumeng. Facing his threat, Liang Wenjing did not choose to surrender.

Xu Chunliang nodded: "Mr. Xu is really a man of foresight."

Xu Dongya smiled calmly and said, "It's not hard to guess, this car belongs to Miss Xiahou."

Xu Chunliang said: "She came here today for the Enheng Group's matter. Is President Xu here for this matter as well?"

Xu Dongya shook his head: "I have no interest in Enheng's mess. Does Miss Xiahou really want to help him out?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It is better to help someone when he is in trouble than to take advantage of someone when he is in trouble."

Xu Dongya looked at Xu Chunliang with a smile. It seemed that he already knew about his threat to Liang Wenjing. "How long has Director Xu known Chen Zhiyun?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Sometimes the depth of friendship has nothing to do with the length of time."

Xu Dongya pursed his lips and said, "I have to admit that what you said makes sense."

Xu Chunliang said meaningfully: "I suddenly couldn't contact Chen Zhiyun. Does Mr. Xu know where she went?"

Xu Dongya said: "I am not familiar with her, how can I know her whereabouts?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Qianfan Group used to belong to a friend of mine."

Xu Dongya smiled and said, "The business world is ever-changing. If you don't manage your business well, even the business passed down by your ancestors will become someone else's in the blink of an eye."

Xu Chunliang said: "I heard that he was set up by someone, and the person who set him up seems to be a master of Qianmen."

Xu Dongya laughed and raised his wrist to check the time: "Sorry, I have to go first."

Xu Chunliang said: "Go slowly!"

Not long after Xu Dongya left, Xiahou Mulan came back. Xu Chunliang asked her if she had seen Xu Dongya, and got a positive answer. The two just greeted each other and did not talk in detail.

The two were about to leave when they heard someone calling Xu Chunliang's name behind them. Xu Chunliang recognized the voice as the Director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Song.

Xiahou Mulan got in the car first and waited for him. Xu Chunliang walked towards Zhang Song, shook his hand enthusiastically and said, "Director Zhang, what a coincidence?"

Zhang Song said with a bitter face: "It's normal for me to come here, but I'm surprised to see you."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Yes, I no longer work in Dongzhou. Director Zhang is here to do business?"

Zhang Song sighed and said, "Secretary Wang has an appointment."

Xu Chunliang deliberately said: "Congratulations, Director Zhang will be reused again."

Zhang Song said: "Don't make fun of me, I'm here to accept criticism."

Xu Chunliang guessed that it was about the Chinese culture training, but did not take the initiative to point it out: "Civil affairs work is not easy to do."

Zhang Song said: "Regarding the old crematorium site, I had not yet gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau at that time. Jiang Qiyong was in charge of the work at that time."

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm here too, is it a problem?"

Zhang Song nodded and told Xu Chunliang about Yuan Hongping's suspected illegal teaching.

In fact, Xu Chunliang had received the news from Qin Zhengyang last night. Xu Chunliang said, "Shouldn't this matter be under the jurisdiction of the Education Bureau? Why are we asking the Civil Affairs Bureau for responsibility?"

Zhang Song said: "Someone reported that the Fengqi Academy that Yuan Hongping was building had problems with the land acquisition violations, and also said that there was profiteering involved."

Xu Chunliang said, "I don't know about this either. I used to be an errand boy at the Civil Affairs Bureau. Should I ask Jiang Qiyong?"

Zhang Song said: "That's what I meant, but they said they had nothing to do with this matter."

Xu Chunliang said: "You have nothing to do with this matter."

Zhang Song sighed again and said, "I am the leader of the Civil Affairs Bureau now. The higher-ups don't care about that and asked me to explain things clearly. If I don't explain clearly, I will have to bear the responsibility."

Zhang Song was extremely depressed. He knew it was useless to tell Xu Chunliang about this, but he was so upset that he thought it would be good to talk to someone. He also had some ideas. He whispered, "Chunliang, have you contacted Secretary Zhou recently?"

Xu Chunliang shook his head.

Zhang Song said: "This time Secretary Zhou has issued an order to thoroughly investigate the problems existing in Dongzhou Civil Affairs."

Zhang Song thought that this was obviously directed against him. He thought that after going to Nan'an with Xu Chunliang to worship the old lady as a Buddha, he would be safe in the future. But now he realized that his understanding was still shallow. Secretary Zhou had not forgotten what happened in the past, and had not let go of his resentment towards him.

Xu Chunliang said: "Then I don't know, Director Zhang, I am currently in a semi-retired state."

Zhang Songxin said that if he resigned, he would resign. What does it mean to be semi-resigned? Is it to be suspended without pay? Xu Chunliang has a bright future, so he would not make such a choice, right?
Xu Chunliang said, "I've been sued and have been suspended from my public office." Zhang Song understood his implication that Xu Chunliang didn't want to get involved in this matter, let alone say a few good words for him in front of Secretary Zhou. Zhang Song said, "You're still young and have plenty of opportunities." Since it wouldn't work, he didn't want to continue wasting his breath.

Xu Chunliang watched Zhang Song walk away before getting into the car.

Xiahou Mulan asked, "What are you talking about for so long?"

Xu Chunliang said: "It seems that Yuan Hongping's matter can't be covered up this time."

Xiahou Mulan said: "People like Yuan Hongping will get into trouble sooner or later. He keeps talking about promoting Chinese culture, but he is actually a charlatan."

Xu Chunliang said: "Zhang Song was indeed wronged. When Yuan Hongping took the land, he had not yet gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Xiahou Mulan said: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. Isn't Dongzhou going to investigate it?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Jiang Qiyong personally handled this matter. Do you think Dongzhou will hold Jiang Qiyong responsible? I bet that Wang Jianming's most urgent need now is to put out the fire and control the impact of the incident as soon as possible. Once this incident triggers public opinion, it will be very troublesome."

Xiahou Mulan asked: "Do you think the situation will escalate?"

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Based on my many years of experience in the system, this incident will not be easily resolved."

Facts have proved that Xu Chunliang's judgment was correct. The incident of Yuan Hongping making huge profits under the banner of Chinese studies quickly became a hot topic and caused quite a stir across the country. He has opened more than one Chinese studies institution in China, and there are many schools like his under the guise of Chinese studies.

However, the tuition fees of the National Studies School are very high, and the standards are comparable to those of some Chinese and foreign schools in the country. The annual tuition fee for each student is as high as 100,000 yuan, which does not include living and accommodation expenses.

After the Dongzhou Education Bureau’s official statement, the popularity of Yuan Hongping’s National Studies School soared. The school’s layout, students’ attire, and students’ curriculum all became the focus of everyone’s searches.

While Wang Jianming was busy pursuing accountability and cooling down the situation, Yuan Hongping was sitting in the Yinlong Academy. The outside world was noisy, but fortunately there was a quiet place here.

The person drinking tea with Yuan Hongping was Xu Dongya. Xu Dongya took a sip of tea and said, "I admire your mentality of sitting on the Diaoyutai despite the wind and waves."

Yuan Hongping said: "The wind and waves have already started. It is safer for me to sit than to stand."

Xu Dongya asked: "Have you ever thought about how to end it?"

Yuan Hongping said: "Just pay me money, you can't put me in jail."

Xu Dongya said: "It's been very uneasy lately. Someone wants to mess with you."

Yuan Hongping sighed and said, "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. The real target was Wang Jianming. I just happened to be injured by mistake."

Xu Dongya smiled calmly: "You are still very clear-sighted."

Yuan Hongping said: "You have already seen it, but you just didn't say it out loud."

Xu Dongya said: "Not many people dare to touch Wang Jianming. Who do you think it is?"

Yuan Hongping said: "They took advantage of this incident to attack both the Education Bureau and the Civil Affairs Bureau at the same time. If it was just the Education Bureau, it wouldn't be surprising. But even the land acquisition issue has been implicated, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has gotten involved. It won't be difficult to find the person behind the scenes."

Xu Dongya said: "Secretary Zhou of the Disaster Reduction Committee came from Dongzhou."

Yuan Hongping said: "He is now the head of the Civil Affairs Department. He is really lucky. He was originally going to retire to the CPPCC, but he is enjoying a second spring in his career."

Xu Dongya said: "If it weren't for Master Ye's support, how could he have a chance?"

Yuan Hongping whispered, "You mean the Ye family initiated it?"

Xu Dongya said, "You haven't heard about Mr. Ye's death, have you?"

Yuan Hongping looked embarrassed: "I rarely pay attention to politics."

Xu Dongya said, "How can you do business without paying attention to politics? You just pay attention to the people and things that interest you." He paused and said, "Without anyone's instructions, Zhou doesn't dare to openly challenge Wang Jianming. With his current status, he is not qualified to challenge the Wang family."

Yuan Hongping said: "Mr. Ye has passed away. Who gave him the courage?"

"This matter is not difficult to investigate." Xu Dongya put down the teacup and frowned, "I met Xu Chunliang when I went to see Secretary Wang today."

Yuan Hongping immediately became alert: "What is he doing there?"

"She should have accompanied Xiahou Mulan there. Wang Jianming probably thought that Xiahou Mulan was the most suitable person to clean up the mess of Enheng. She has the ability to do so."

Yuan Hongping asked, "Is Liang Wenjing so willing to hand over Enheng to someone else?"

Xu Dongya asked: "Does she have a choice?"

Yuan Hongping said: "I actually did not violate any regulations regarding the land of the old crematorium."

Xu Dongya said, "Old Yuan, you have always seen things clearly. Those who dare to challenge the Wang family don't care whether you violate the rules or not. Can't you see through such a simple truth?"
