Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1512 Not Important

Of course, Tong Guangsheng was just talking. He knew Xu Chunliang's strength well. It would be a waste of talent to let Xu Chunliang come to his place as a manager. Xu Chunliang had accompanied him through life and death, rescued his beloved grandson Nianzu, and used his miraculous medical skills to cure his terminal illness. Moreover, Xu Chunliang was also the major shareholder of Renhetang and the behind-the-scenes boss of Changshan Hospital. With such strength, he did not need his help. Tong Guangsheng was mainly expressing his attitude.

Wang Jinwu remembered that Yang Linlin and the others would come over later, so he went to the hotel to prepare in advance. Tong Guangsheng took the initiative to offer to go with him and said that he would personally cook a few of his signature dishes for them to try.

Xu Chunliang and Mei Ruxue both understood in their hearts that people were giving them a chance to be alone.

Xu Chunliang said: "There will be no Xianhong Farm on Weishan Island in the future."

Mei Ruxue nodded and said, "Don't worry, the government will not let them suffer any loss. After friendly discussions between the two sides, we gave them a piece of land in Guquan Village as compensation. It is much larger than the current farm."

Xu Chunliang said: "Uncle Tong has always supported the work of the local government."

Mei Ruxue smiled and said, "I have known Mr. Tong earlier than you."

Xu Chunliang smiled embarrassedly after she reminded him: "Yes, when I came to Weishan Island, you were already the mayor here."

Mei Ruxue nodded: "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Remember, I came to borrow something from you at that time."

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Toilet paper."

Mei Ruxue said: "I thought you were hitting on me on purpose."

Xu Chunliang said: "It was really not intentional. My colleague had hemorrhoids at the time and I was helping him borrow some paper."

Mei Ruxue said: "It seems like you never returned it."

Xu Chunliang said: "It's easy. I'll wrap your life in paper. If that's not enough, you won't need to do anything when we're together in the future."

Mei Ruxue's pretty face turned red, and she spat softly, "Disgusting, can you be any more shameless?"

Her eyes were full of tenderness, but there was no hint of blame at all. In fact, no matter how shameless Xu Chunliang was, she could accept it.

Xu Chunliang asked, "Can you tell me, you are so anxious to demolish the farm, are you planning to do some big project here?"

Mei Ruxue smiled and said, "This has to be kept secret for now."

Xu Chunliang did not continue to ask, but nodded and said: "Dongzhou has not been very peaceful recently. Has it affected you?" He did not bring up this matter for no reason.

Wang Jianming has been in a state of panic during this period. The current news is that Secretary Zhou took action and there is someone supporting him behind the scenes. It is rumored that the person supporting him is Mr. Qiao.

As the granddaughter of Mr. Qiao, Mei Ruxue happens to be under Wang Jianming's command, so it is very likely that Wang Jianming is angry with her because of this matter.

Mei Ruxue said: "I have nothing to do with civil affairs and cultural tourism. Don't believe the rumors outside. My grandfather would not do that. The relationship between the Qiao family and the Wang family is not so easy to be alienated by the outside world."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, that’s because the Qiao family doesn’t know that you are Wang Zhengdao’s biological daughter. If they knew about this, the Qiao family would never tolerate such a great humiliation.

Xu Chunliang and Wang Zhengdao would not tell anyone about this matter. Unless Mei Ruxue's parents were still alive, no one else would know this secret.

Xu Chunliang said: "Two days ago, Zhang Song and I went to Nanjiang and met Secretary Zhou."

Mei Ruxue said: "If you don't accompany him, Secretary Zhou may not be willing to see him."

Xu Chunliang thought to himself that after all, it was a genetic inheritance, and Mei Ruxue had a high level of political savvy.

Xu Chunliang said: "In fact, he feels quite aggrieved about what happened recently. The land of the old crematorium was decided before he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau. If there is any investigation, it is Jiang Qiyong's responsibility."

Mei Ruxue asked, "You've worked in the system for so many years, but you still don't understand the true meaning of right and wrong? Have you heard about Geng Wenjun's case?"

Xu Chunliang nodded: "I heard that he was placed under double supervision."

Mei Ruxue said: "Some actions cannot be simply explained as revenge. You can also understand it as a diversion of attention. Yuan Hongping has opened so many Chinese culture training institutions in China, the longest of which has been in operation for more than 20 years. Why was he not investigated in the past, nor in other places, but only in Dongzhou? On the surface, it is a punishment for Yuan Hongping, but the real situation is to trace the source, and many people will be implicated in this process."

Xu Chunliang asked: "So Secretary Wang took some countermeasures?"

Mei Ruxue said: "You can't just look at it this way. Secretary Wang is now a focal figure, under the spotlight, and every move he makes will be magnified. But nothing can be viewed in isolation, and Secretary Wang is not isolated either. It is possible that he doesn't have to do anything."

Xu Chunliang understood what Mei Ruxue meant. A family like the Wang family, after three generations of hard work, has already established deep roots and flourished. As a leading figure of the younger generation of the Wang family, the Wang family will certainly not sit idly by.

Xu Chunliang said: "According to what you said, Zhang Song's future is worrying."

Mei Ruxue did not answer his question, but just smiled faintly: "Haven't you decided to leave? Why are you still so interested in things in the system?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Zhang Song and I have a pretty good personal relationship."

Mei Ruxue said, "People in the system don't have real feelings." She looked into Xu Chunliang's eyes when she said this. Xu Chunliang was also looking at her, and they both thought at the same time, if this statement is true, what is the relationship between them?
Xu Chunliang said: "This is also the reason why I chose to leave."

Mei Ruxue said: "Your choice to leave has nothing to do with me, don't put the blame on me."

Xu Chunliang said: "Only if I leave can we put aside our mental burdens and get along well with each other."

Mei Ruxue smiled calmly and said, "I have never thought about the future. I am different from you. You can control your own life, but I can't."

Xu Chunliang said: "You can too. You don't need to take the family's honor too seriously. Why should a girl like you bear the responsibility of the Qiao family?" Mei Ruxue is not a member of the Qiao family, so why should she bear this burden for the Qiao family?

Mei Ruxue said: "Maybe I'm not as brave as you." She turned around and looked at the lake in the distance. Her beautiful eyes changed with the change of sky and lake light.

Xu Chunliang did not disturb her, but just waited quietly for her emotions to calm down.

After a while, Mei Ruxue said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have lived in fear and loneliness. Although my grandfather and his family have been very kind to me, I have never felt a sense of belonging. I don't even consider the Qiao family as my own home."

Xu Chunliang said, "Maybe they don't consider you as one of their own either." He didn't mean to instigate. If the Qiao family really considered Mei Ruxue as one of their own, why didn't they ask her to change her surname? If they really considered her as one of their own, they wouldn't interfere with her feelings and use her as a tool for political marriage.

Mei Ruxue's smile was somewhat bleak: "It doesn't matter anymore."

Xu Chunliang didn't want this incident to affect her mood any further, so he suggested going out for dinner. However, Mei Ruxue politely declined, saying that she had work to deal with and had to return to Dongzhou City that day.

Not long after Mei Ruxue left, Yang Linlin, Su Qing and Cheng Yuwu, who had just finished their shoot, came over. Today's shoot went very smoothly, so it ended earlier than scheduled.

Tong Guangsheng made two earthen pots by himself.

Wang Jinwu was busy entertaining guests.

Su Qing bought a set of clothes for Xu Chunliang and secretly gave it to him when no one was paying attention.

Xu Chunliang happily accepted it and said, "I'll wear it for you to see tomorrow."

Su Qing said, "As long as you like it." She looked around: "Where is Secretary Mei?" She also heard Wang Jinwu mention that Mei Ruxue was coming over.

Xu Chunliang said: "They have already left. They are busy with official duties, unlike me who is a slacker in the system and has nothing to do."

Su Qing said: "I thought she would stay for dinner too."

Xu Chunliang said: "Due to my status, I don't take even a single needle or thread from the people, let alone treat them to a meal."

Tong Guangsheng's resonant voice rang out: "It's just a family dinner. Secretary Mei is too cautious. Chunliang, you have to tell her that doing this will easily alienate her from the masses."

Several people laughed, Cheng Yuwu said: "Boss Tong is right."

Tong Guangsheng glanced at Cheng Yuwu. He was not familiar with Cheng Yuwu and thought that this guy was just here to make a living. Tong Guangsheng's sharp eyes made Yang Linlin a little uncomfortable. She felt that this old man seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

He smiled and said, "Boss Tong, have we met before?"

Tong Guangsheng shook his head: "First time meeting you, but I've heard Jin Wu talk about you many times."

Wang Jinwu blushed and said, "No way."

Xu Chunliang said: "I dare not admit it, but I dare not say it."

The reason why Tong Guangsheng paid more attention to Yang Linlin was because of Wang Jinwu. His overall impression was that Yang Linlin looked good and seemed to have an okay personality, but he had little contact with people in the film and television industry.

Tong Guangsheng said: "Although Jin Wu is not my biological son, he is like my own son in my heart. If Miss Yang thinks highly of me, don't call me Mr. Tong. Call me Uncle Tong or Old Tong."

Liang Linlin certainly didn't dare to call him Old Tong, so the only option left was to call him Uncle Tong, and took the initiative to talk to him: "Uncle Tong, I heard that you are a combat hero who participated in the self-defense counterattack war."

Tong Guangsheng said: "There is no such thing as a combat hero. I was a soldier at the time. Defending the country is the duty of every soldier. If it were you, you would also kill the enemy on the battlefield, and you might be even better than me. The real heroes have sacrificed their lives. People like me who are lucky enough to survive are not heroes."

Cheng Yuwu said: "I have heard about Mr. Tong's deeds, which are very touching. I have an idea. I plan to write your heroic deeds into a script in a while and try to present it in the form of film and television. I believe it will definitely be a double harvest of box office and word of mouth."

Tong Guangsheng said, "Forget it, what's there to film? Real battles are not as exaggerated as in your movies and TV shows. People who have not experienced the cruelty of the battlefield will not understand."

Cheng Yuwu didn't know that Tong Guangsheng didn't want to talk about that war-torn history, so he said cheerfully, "Then you can tell me, and I'll give you a share of the profits after the TV series is finished."

Tong Guangsheng frowned and said, "I never thought of making money in this way." Then he turned and went to the kitchen.

Cheng Yuwu hit a snag and was left feeling humiliated.
