Chapter 2035 Our Department is Going to Go Bankrupt
During the National Day holiday, Bian Yue insisted on going to Beiqi to visit Sister Nana for a few days. Unexpectedly, Nana went to the south with a newly formed film crew to film a new drama. The National Day holiday was her busiest time. She was filming period dramas and crime dramas. Nana has finally made something of herself and signed a formal agreement with the production company in the name of her studio.

Bian Mu advised his younger sister to stay home and spend time with their parents, saying that there were so many tourist attractions in Lijin, why couldn't they go somewhere else to have fun?

Unfortunately, Bian Yue wouldn't listen to reason. She chattered away until her mother was happy, and she took 3000 yuan from home and went to Beiqi to play with Suo Yurong. Helpless, Bian Mu transferred another 3000 yuan to his sister afterwards. The round trip would take about a week, with average daily expenses of several hundred yuan. Food and lodging were free, so it should be enough.

Suo Yurong is currently free and there are no suitable roles for her to play. She is taking some arts and culture classes at a university with a few minor celebrities. Suo Yurong lives alone in a 200-square-meter apartment. She said that Bian Yue would keep her company so that she wouldn't be afraid to be alone at night.

Bian Mu knew that people were giving him face, and he had incurred their favor without realizing it. He might have to repay it on behalf of his sister someday.

With her younger sister not around to keep her company, and the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum" only closed for two days, and since the Wu family's old house was big enough for them, Bian Mu thought she'd invite her parents to stay for a few days. After visiting various tourist attractions, the holiday would be over.

Unexpectedly, Dad suddenly suggested that since he didn't have any extra work during the holiday, he might as well go back to his hometown to visit relatives. Taking the high-speed rail would be very convenient. Bian Mu was busy with other things and it was inconvenient for him to accompany him on the trip. So, Bian Mu specially went to the station to see his parents off. He transferred 1 yuan to his mother beforehand, saying that he would have more money when visiting relatives back home.

Dr. Han's words had quite a jolt to Bian Mu. During his break, he took the opportunity to thoroughly organize the core content and main framework of the "Digital Medicine" school at his rented residence, aiming to produce a concise outline to submit to the relevant departments for review by an expert panel. If necessary, he also planned to publish several high-quality academic papers that were positively related to the "Digital Medicine" school, showcasing the latest and most core content to his peers. If there were any serious flaws, wouldn't they be quickly pointed out by his colleagues in the industry?
Bian Mu isn't afraid of making a fool of himself; he's just a newborn calf! He's fearless, and as long as he can make a perfect exit when he's old, that's better than anything else!
Around 10 a.m. that day, Bian Mu was sitting on the edge of the bed organizing the first draft of the text when her cell phone rang.

I got up and went over to take a look, and oh! It was the phone number of Sun Zhengting, the head doctor of the 5th consultation room of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department at "Huikang" Hospital.

"I'm at your esteemed entrance right now! I thought you only gave us one day off like our hospital, but I didn't expect you to take the full holiday!" I wonder if Sun Zhengting went to the main branch of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic to visit Bian Mu sometime during the day?
"Hey! I'll only be off for two days. I'll be seeing patients as usual tomorrow morning. Did you need something? I'm at my rented place right now!" To be honest, for some reason, hearing Sun Zhengting's voice at this moment suddenly felt incredibly warm to Bian Mu.

"I'm so sorry! Did I bother you?"

"It's nothing! Just tidy up some documents, and tell me what's on your mind!"

"Well... it's really hard to explain in just a few words. When is it convenient for you? Let's meet somewhere and chat for a bit more?" Sun Zhengting sounded very polite on the phone.

"I don't have anything to do right now, so it's not good to talk about it over the phone, right?" Bian Mu replied with a smile on the other end of the line.

“There are quite a few people involved. I’m carrying a bag with some documents inside that I’d like you to take a look at.”

“Oh, I see… There’s a teahouse across from our neighborhood, it looks like an old establishment, how about we go sit there for a bit?” Bian Mu replied with a smile over the phone.

"Won't it affect your work?" Sun Zhengting asked politely on the other end of the phone.

“I need to rest too! It’s not like I sold it to my own clinic. It’s been a while since we last met. If it weren’t for the rain, I was thinking we could find a scenic spot to stroll around and chat.”

"Indeed, indeed! Then please send me your location!" "Okay!" With that, Bian Mu moved the location to an old teahouse across the street and sent it to Sun Zhengting.

……

"Siyuxuan" seems to be a century-old brand. The current owner is not conservative at all. Apart from trying to preserve the simple and elegant charm, all the other decoration materials have been changed to a modern style. The Chinese architectural style has been replaced with a new decoration style, which is both modern and simple. It must have taken a lot of thought back then.

The second floor was quiet, so Bian Mu specially chose a seat inside to wait for Sun Zhengting to come over. The autumn rain brought a chill, and the window seat facing the street was a bit drafty. Sun Zhengting's health was not good, and he shouldn't catch a cold during the changing season.

"The decor here is quite intriguing! It's clearly Chinese in style, but inside and out it looks completely Western. The owner must be a sophisticated person!"

"Of course! I heard he's an art PhD. I'm glad you like it. The tea is just the right temperature, have a couple of sips to warm up." As she spoke, Bian Mushi politely poured a cup for Sun Zhengting.

"I know you're usually very busy, so let's get straight to the point! Our hospital might be on the verge of collapse, and I need to find a way to make a living for myself and a few other colleagues. These are their resumes. The two at the bottom are my college classmates. The woman is an expert in internal medicine, and the man is best at bone setting. Could you please take a look?" As he spoke, Sun Zhengting took a rather thick folder from a briefcase and pushed it across the desktop to Bian Mu.

"What do you mean?! Is our hospital going to go under?!" Although she was somewhat prepared, Bian Mu was still surprised that the news came so quickly when she heard Sun Zhengting say it with her own ears.

"To be precise, our entire Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is going to be shut down!" Sun Zhengting replied with a serious expression, his eyes wide open, looking very solemn.

"You scared me! I was doing just fine when I left! How come you're talking about... Oh, you mean our department? What's going on?" As she spoke, Bian Mu casually pressed a small button, opened the rather exquisite document folder, and glanced at it.

Personal resumes! Several copies, all very formally organized.

"Lu Shiyuan has officially resigned. The higher-ups want me to take over, but how can I possibly manage that mess? I declined outright. Old Lu left without explaining many things clearly. Who would dare to take over without understanding the situation? Besides, according to our hospital's current performance evaluation system, anyone would lose money. Think about it, what kind of person is Old Lu? If he didn't have connections both inside and outside, the department wouldn't even break even! If we were making money here, would he have gone to the south to live under someone else's roof?! Impossible!"

"Oh! So... our TCM department is already running a deficit?!" Bian Mu asked with a smile, picking up the first resume and glancing at it. Wow! It was actually Sun Zhengting's own, a genuine medical master's degree, the kind of diploma with the highest value in the domestic TCM field right now. It was rare that he had kept his CET-6 (College English Test Band 6) score report all this time. Back when Sun Zhengting was in school, it seemed that CET-6 score reports were valid for life.

Back when she was in school, Bian Mu also tried to take the CET-6 exam, but she barely passed and her score wasn't very good.

Now that Bian Mu is studying diligently under Su Linwen's guidance, if she were to take the exam again, she would surely achieve a satisfactory result.

A few days ago, Teacher Duan Hongyi even went to Lida University with some young employees of Cao's Group to try taking the CET-6 (College English Test Band 6). His score was as high as 617 points. If his daughter hadn't casually praised him a few times, Bian Mu wouldn't have known about it at all! Judging from his expression, Duan Hongyi didn't seem to have any intention of letting Bian Mu know.

Bian Mu couldn't help but be a little suspicious, guessing that Duan Hongyi had been getting closer and closer to the people from the Cao Group during this period. In other words, Duan would most likely follow in the footsteps of people like Ji Xiaofang and Liu Xiangyang in the future. Duan clearly had no interest in the studio that Bian Mu had helped register.
