Chapter 515: The Old Man in a Straw Hat and Raincoat on a Boat (Part )
"Yuntai."

When Boss Chai's voice came over the phone, Yuntai immediately showed a smile unique to a young person, kind and friendly, playful yet restrained.

Even when talking in front of a mobile phone, he is still meticulous, and everything is engraved in his bones.

"Mr. Chai, I'm here. Please give me your instructions."

"What instructions can an old gang member who retired a long time ago give you? Let me ask you something. When are you going to Jiangbei Province for surgery?" Boss Chai asked directly.

"weekend."

"When you book the tickets, contact Xiao Qian and bring me one."

Yuntai was startled and picked up his phone to check the calendar.

It's not time yet, whether it's the annual meeting or the Ice and Snow Festival. Isn't it a bit early for Mr. Chai to go to the Northeast at this time?
"Mr. Chai...does your family know that you are going to the provincial capital this time?" Yuntai asked cautiously, afraid of making Boss Chai angry, but also afraid of offending someone.

"None of your business!" Mr. Chai scolded, "If you weren't here just by chance and my eyes were blurry, do you think I would ask you to buy a ticket for me?"

"..."

Depend on!
Big trouble is coming.

Yuntai vaguely heard that Boss Chai's bronchitis had worsened recently, and his family seemed to want Boss Chai to live in Hainan for the winter.

But Boss Chai, who was usually obedient, refused and scolded Director Qian.

As for what Boss Chai just said about contacting Xiao Qian, it means that he doesn't want himself to contact Director Qian.

Some words should be listened to in reverse. If I really go to Director Qian and mess things up, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yuntai heard a lot of details from the tone. He ignored Boss Chai's "anger", pondered quietly, waited for a few seconds, and pretended to be shocked.

"Mr. Chai, please don't be angry. I'll book the ticket right away. Please send me your ID number. Also, I don't know if I can get a first-class ticket."

"Oh, it's okay. If you book economy class, the airline will discuss with other passengers and automatically upgrade my seat."

“……” Yuntai knew that he guessed right.

After hanging up the phone, Yuntai pondered for a long time.

For such a tricky matter, I must ask Luo Hao to help me. There is nothing I can figure out on my own.

Mr. Chai must not be offended, but how can Mr. Chai's family be offended? He really dared to take Mr. Chai to the icy and snowy Northeast.

But I don’t dare to do it.

A few years ago, Mr. Yuan was in good health, but he accidentally fell and died a few months later. The last fracture in life is no joke.

For children, it is called a green branch fracture, and for the elderly, it is a post from the King of Hell demanding their lives.

If Boss Chai died in his hands... Yuntai shuddered.

Picking up the phone, Yuntai called Luo Hao.

"Professor Luo, are you busy recently?"

"Teacher Yun, look at what you said~~~" Luo Hao said, his voice becoming a little ethereal.

"Is there something wrong? Let me guess. Surgery? The age of the patients in this wave of surgeries is very suitable, so there will be no problem. Papers? I just published two top sci papers, which should be enough. You won't be so anxious."

"Student committee member? You don't seem to care much about intervening in the student committee. If it weren't for Teacher Pan asking you to take over as the director of the intervention?!"

"..."

"I heard that the medical alliance is accepting patients for interventional medicine. Or is it that the hospital is going to give us an interventional medicine ward? Congratulations, Teacher Yun. With a ward, it will be fun to be the director."

What does this have to do with anything?

Can I be the director? You must be kidding.

Mr. Pan is the deputy director of radiology imaging and director of the interventional department. He is only in his fifties and his retirement has been delayed. It would be about time for him to talk about this matter in another ten years.

"No, the retirement age has been delayed recently. Three years later, another three years, and then another three years after that. I guess Mr. Pan won't be able to retire until he's 68 or 9."

"Damn! Could it be that Boss Chai asked you to come here secretly?" Luo Hao was joking at first, teasing Yuntai about becoming the director, but he soon figured out why Yuntai called him.

It is indeed comfortable to talk to smart people, Yuntai smiled.

There is no need to say anything else, Xiao Luo knows all his difficulties.

"Really? Well, let me give the old lady a call." Luo Hao said, and sighed.

"Dr. Luo, it has to be you." Yuntai suddenly felt relaxed and even changed the way he addressed Luo Hao.

But before Yuntai could continue speaking, the call was hung up.

Yuntai wasn't angry, he just laughed.

Luo Hao is young after all, and he must be very unhappy if I blatantly pass the blame on him.

Although he was very curious about how Luo Hao solved the problem, Yuntai didn't ask. A dog will die if it eats chocolate, and asking too many questions will only lead to bad results.

He simply booked an economy class ticket for Boss Chai, and soon Luo Hao called and told Yuntai to pick up Boss Chai before leaving.

I just know that Xiao Luo is going to do something, and Yuntai has some feelings about it.

Some people are as popular with women as the Luo River, like the assistant beside Luo Hao who smells like heather.

But Luo Hao is a man with a strong affinity with the elderly, just like a rock that can withstand the test of Mount Tai. Not only can he handle the affairs of Boss Chai, but Boss Chai's lover also likes Luo Hao very much.

……

A few days later, Yuntai picked up Boss Chai and rushed to the provincial capital.

Because Boss Chai was with him, Yuntai booked a flight for the afternoon before the operation.

After getting on the plane, Boss Chai was upgraded to first class, but Yuntai did not receive such treatment.

Yuntai also understood this kind of thing. After all, if one day he received a call saying that a highly respected academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an elderly man, was sitting in economy class and asked him if he could take a flight two hours later, he would definitely agree.

It's not for the benefit, but to give respect to the elderly.

After flying to the provincial capital and getting off the plane, Luo Hao had been waiting for a long time outside the VIP exit.

Yuntai still wanted to know how Luo Hao solved the problem, but after hesitating again and again, he suppressed his curiosity.

"Boss, why are you so disobedient?" Luo Hao scolded as soon as they met.

Yuntai lowered his head, pretending to look at his phone, but he pricked up his ears.

Luo Hao could speak like Boss Chai's grandson, but he himself didn't even dare to listen.

"What do you know? I'm not old." Boss Chai explained, "Didn't your assistant say that I can live to be over 100 years old?"

"He's unreliable. I'll ask an old man in the institute to calculate it for you some other day. Actually, I don't want to calculate it. What Chen Yong said is right."

Luo Hao's speech has begun to be inconsistent.

"Boss, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay in Haitang Bay for two days? Northeast China is too cold, which is not good for the cardiovascular and respiratory tract."

"Haitang Bay is too hot. I have a bad temper and it's not suitable for me to go there." Boss Chai waved his hand.

"Rongcheng, Dujiangyan, at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, isn't it pretty good? It's over 10 degrees now, not too cold or too hot."

"They're demolishing the area right now. They say your Jiangbei Province has been drawn outside the Fifth Ring Road. It's the only province in the country that's not even within the Fifth Ring Road. Xiao Luohao, what you said before about supporting the border areas has really come true." Boss Chai said jokingly.

"..." Luo Hao was speechless.

"Come here, let me see your new fishing cart!" Boss Chai said happily.

So that’s it!
Yuntai suddenly realized.

"I met a patient with a sudden myocardial infarction a few days ago."

Luo Hao recounted the story, and as he was talking, he had already arrived at the parking lot. Luo Hao took out the car key and pressed it.

There was a beep and the 307 sign not far away flashed its lights twice.

It looks like there is no change. Yuntai looked at Luo Hao's 307 from top to bottom.

But Yuntai soon noticed the difference.

A pair of big eyes appeared on the front windshield.

It's like a haunted place.

"Dr. Luo, what is that?" Yuntai asked curiously.

"The eyes can match the driver's eye direction in real time. It looks quite interesting and is mainly used at night."

"What's the use of this?"

"The boss likes it."

Yuntai swallowed back all the remaining countless complaints. A simple sentence "the boss likes it" is worth a thousand words.

"You can actually make it. I just said it casually." Boss Chai said with a smile.

"Boss, you've seen it in the capital, so it can definitely be done."

The eyes on 307 tilted and looked to the side following Luo Hao's gaze.

Luo Hao was looking at Boss Chai, but the eyes on the windshield of 307 were looking at the empty space on the side.

Yuntai felt that the pair of eyes were very sneaky and very interesting.

"Did you get the trunk done?"

"Yes, but it just snowed a short time ago, and the ice is not solid. We can't go camping and fishing on the ice like we did last year."

"It's okay, it's the same on the shore."

Luo Hao smiled.

The eyes on the front windshield of 307 also narrowed.

I am!

Yuntai was shocked by his eyes.

It should have sensed every movement of Luo Hao's eyes and then made a relatively simple little action.

Although it's not technically difficult, I always feel something is weird when I see it.

boarding.

"Boss, I asked Mr. Ding from Dai'an to grill the skewers. He used authentic Longjiang Wagyu beef. I happened to meet a patient when I went to Changnan a few days ago."

While driving out of the airport, Luo Hao gossiped with Boss Chai.

Boss Chai listened with great interest. Yuntai, who was sitting in the back seat, wanted to see the eyes on the car window, but he couldn't see them from inside the car, which made him feel a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter whether it's Wagyu or not, can your trunk be transparent?"

"Okay, it's waterproofed. When the time comes, we'll put the biggest fish in it. If we catch more than ten kilograms, we'll drive around Central Avenue three times."

"!!!"

"Although the Ice and Snow Festival has not yet opened, the number of tourists has gradually increased. Taxi drivers are now reluctant to drive to the vicinity of Central Avenue. Once you drive in, it will take more than an hour to get out."

"That's perfect. We can drive slowly and there's no need to rush."

"Let tourists from all over the country see the fish you caught."

Boss Chai was laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close. Yuntai sighed deeply in his heart.

In terms of emotional value, no matter who gives it, it seems that no one is as good as Dr. Luo.

He is so good at flattering people, but it's a pity that such a smart person only appears once in many years. I wanted to recruit a similar graduate student, but ended up recruiting a piece of wood.

Although he is honest and simple, he is not as smart as Dr. Luo, which makes people feel regretful. Seeing that Mr. Chai was coaxed by him, he was smiling happily. It is estimated that he can live five more years.

"But boss, today we have to rely on your skills. If you can't catch anything, we can just go eat."

"Don't worry, as long as the fish pond is fine, I'll be fine."

"Today we are not going to the fish pond, but to the Songhua River." Luo Hao said, "If we can't catch any fish, you can't say it's a problem with the Songhua River."

"I, your boss, am very skilled, so you can rest assured." Boss Chai said confidently.

"Oh, Boss, 912 has a hospital in Sanya. Do you want to go there to see patients? There are many people from Northeast China who are taking care of their elderly in Sanya. If you go there, it can be considered as supporting the frontier. We are one in the south and one in the north, and we both treat patients from the three provinces in Northeast China."

"Okay." Boss Chai agreed without hesitation.

Is that all? Yuntai lowered his head.

912 has a branch in Sanya, and so does the Chinese Academy of Sciences Cancer Hospital.

One purpose is to solve local medical problems. The most important thing is that most of the old experts in the north suffer from tracheitis and bronchitis. In addition, the weather is cold and hot, which is quite unfriendly to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In order to arrange for the retirement of the old experts and make good use of their old age, a branch hospital is set up there.

As for the medical level, it is quite high, and the main reason is that the pace of the branch hospital is not fast.

It is indeed a holy place for retirement.

But Boss Chai seemed to have refused several times, but he didn't expect that he agreed after Xiao Luo said one word.

"I'll go there in November next year, is that okay?" said Boss Chai.

"Boss, you should watch less of the operation. Stand back. Except for Director Qian, who wouldn't tremble during an operation? Besides, I went to 912 to help a few days ago, and Boss Zhou had a heart attack while being rescued."

"Hahaha, that old guy's health is not as good as mine." Boss Chai laughed.

Luo Hao did not comment.

The old and the young were chatting casually. Yuntai was going to learn carefully today, but apart from the fishing car, Luo Hao didn't show any deliberate signs. He just chatted casually about family matters and made Boss Chai very happy.

The car gradually drove out of the provincial capital and came to the provincial road.

Yuntai was a little surprised that he didn't even take a break.

"Don't rush to go fishing when you get there. Drink a bowl of porridge to nourish your stomach." Luo Hao said.

"Where are you going?" asked Boss Chai.

"Ha, Boss, guess what?"

Boss Chai smiled but said nothing.

Xiao Luohao has a sharp mind, who knows what he has prepared.

The car didn't drive for long, about 50 minutes, and we arrived at a small town near the provincial capital.

You can see the building from a distance, but it's all white.

Yuntai was surprised.

He looked around. There had been a light snowfall some time ago, so the fields were dark except for a little white in the shade.

That piece of black land seemed like you could squeeze out oil if you grabbed a handful of it, and it was visibly very fertile.

It is indeed one of the three major black soils in the world, Yuntai thought to himself.

But what is the white one in front?
As they got closer, Yuntai suddenly saw thick snow on the roofs of the town.

"Huh? Why is the snow so thick?" Yuntai said the first sentence.

"It's blown out by a snow machine. The wind has been low these days, so it can stand." Luo Hao smiled, "The lab is researching snow with a higher viscosity. By then, it won't be blown away by winds below force 5. But if you step on it and grab it, it's still normal snow."

"I've only seen such heavy snow once." Boss Chai murmured as he looked out the window.

"According to the largest snow blown in the provincial capital, the snow machine is not expensive anyway..."

"Xiao Luohao, just for me? No way." Boss Chai turned around and looked at Luo Hao.

"Well, we're just passing by. Going further in, we'll see the shack where Emperor Huizong of Song lived when he was hunting in the north. We won't go there because I think it's unlucky. When I think of Emperor Huizong of Song, I feel aggrieved."

"Hmm? Is that the Yilan love story you mentioned? It looks like it's going pretty well." When Boss Chai heard that it was not for himself but just to take advantage of it, he immediately became interested.

"Yes, they asked historians to help them. But the historians are too dogmatic, and what they came up with is different from what the public imagines. Recently, the popular thing is that the fifty-year-old cleaning lady marries the domineering CEO, and the public is very accepting of it."

What the hell is going on, Yuntai thought to himself.

Fifty years old, cleaner, auntie, Beijing circle boss.

When these words were put together, Yuntai felt quite unfamiliar.

"This is a linkage with the Ice and Snow Festival, and there are movies to watch." Luo Hao gave a brief introduction.

Boss Chai doesn’t care about whether it’s a movie or not. What he cares about is the old man in a straw hat and raincoat fishing alone in the snow on the cold river.

I think fishing is also one of the links. After all, if we can publish content that anglers like, I'm afraid anglers in the south will flock to it.

Some things are ingrained in our bones.

Which fisherman wouldn’t want to try the old man in a straw hat and raincoat on a boat?
Boss Chai was already salivating with excitement.

Yuntai was thinking that if this place could really be developed, tourism alone would be enough to sustain Jiangbei Province.

Having fewer people has its advantages.

By then, the surrounding businesses will be able to benefit a lot.

This means hunting is not allowed. If hunting in the mountains is also allowed... I can’t imagine how many tourists there will be in Jiangbei Province by then.

The Chinese people's love for guns is in their bones.

Several people were standing on the roadside, they were the mayor and Boss Lou.

Boss Lou smiled and bowed to Boss Chai, "Boss Chai, you are here."

"Yeah." Boss Chai got out of the car and tried the ground first.

Although it was a little cold, the ground was not slippery at all.

"Boss, the ground has been specially treated. If you want to play slippery, this won't work." Luo Hao said with a smile.

"Hey, it's better not to slip, it's better not to slip." said Boss Chai.

As the mayor introduced everything along the way, Boss Chai just listened politely, and it was obvious that he no longer had the interest to chat with Luo Hao alone.

Luo Hao also noticed this, and when he arrived outside a villa, he asked the mayor and staff to leave first.

Boss Lou still followed.

Yuntai knew that Luo Hao had a manager who was responsible for managing investments. In the past year, another coal boss came forward to work for him, and he should be this one.

Boss Lou looked big and strong, but he was very considerate. He didn't talk much to Boss Chai just because he stayed, but just served him like a servant.

After taking a look at the fishing rod, Boss Chai expressed his satisfaction.

"Boss, there is a hot spring in the backyard. It is said that Emperor Huizong of Song was seriously injured and physically exhausted, but after soaking in the hot spring, all his illnesses were cured."

"Did you make that up?" Boss Chai glanced at Luo Hao.

"It's not me, it's the project team who made it up." Luo Hao laughed, "The hot springs are not underground hot springs. If you want to soak in natural hot springs, you have to go to the next city. Lindian is full of natural hot springs. It is said that many hot springs were dug out when they were drilling for oil."

"However, the hot springs here have been tested against some of the best hot springs in the world. They contain almost all trace elements, except for a few that are too expensive. Regardless of whether it is natural or not, just the quality of the warm water here ranks among the top ten in the world."

"It should be like this," said Boss Chai. "The reason why Western products are called natural is because they have too many additives. So once young white-collar workers have some money, they pursue natural, green, and pollution-free products."

"Don't worry, boss. The quality is under control."

"you sure?"

Yuntai's heart moved. This was a very sharp question. How should Luo Hao answer it?

There is no business without fraud. This shows what the domestic business has become.

"Boss, I'm sure." Luo Hao said firmly, "I don't believe in human nature, but the cost in the laboratory has been reduced to a very low level. The trace elements added to the warm water in the whole town only cost a hundred yuan a day. There is no need to ruin the brand for such a small amount of money."

Boss Chai nodded with satisfaction.

This villa is built on the bank of the Songhua River. There is a hot spring just outside the door and the river is just a few dozen meters away. The river water has frozen, but the center of the river is not frozen, and it is steaming, which looks quite interesting.

An ice cave has been dug by the river and chairs have been placed there.

"Boss, tourists may not like it being too warm, so we haven't prepared a warm house. Please put on your clothes..."

As soon as he said this, Boss Lou handed over a sheepskin coat, a pair of boots, and a dog-skin hat.

"Boss, get dressed before you sit down."

Boss Chai did not lose his temper, but dressed himself obediently, then put on his lambskin gloves and sat down.

Seeing Boss Chai dressed like a bear, Yuntai chuckled.

He began to study boots.

Luo Hao didn't have time to explain it to him, but Boss Lou came over and said, "Professor Yun, this is a pair of jinghe shoes, one of the three treasures of Northeast China. It contains real jinghe grass."

Then Boss Lou told a few short stories. The stories were just like that, similar to all legends, so Yuntai just listened for fun.

What interested him was that these shoes were really warm to wear, and the grass inside seemed to be able to generate heat automatically.

Although it is a bit bulky, but when paired with the white snow scene, it really shows its characteristics to the fullest.

As he was speaking, Yuntai suddenly felt a chill on his head.

He raised his hand, and a piece of heavy snow had melted on his forehead.

Looking up, I saw heavy snow falling from the sky.

Oh fuck, this is such a coincidence.

"Made of a snow-making machine?" Boss Chai suddenly asked.

"Well, with noise reduction, the sound of the snow machine is generally inaudible. What do you think, Boss?"

"Not bad." Boss Chai was quite satisfied.

The white snow all over the sky fell down with a flutter, and the only thing left between heaven and earth was the vastness.

Although he lived in the imperial capital, Yuntai had never seen such heavy snow.

Coupled with the light northeast wind, there was already a sign of smoke and snow.

Yuntai looked at it greedily. The picture was really beautiful.

Even if you fly from Jiangnan and spend two days, it should be worth it when you see this scene.

It seems that Jiangbei Province is really trying its best for tourism.

"Wow, it's caught so quickly!" Boss Chai pulled the fishing rod, "Xiao Luohao, let me show you my skills."

Boss Chai pulled the fishing rod, but the fish was obviously more than ten kilograms, and he couldn't pull it even with his sudden pull.

"Hahahaha." Boss Chai's triumphant laughter floated in the snow.

Get carried away.

But after a few seconds, Boss Chai's laughter stopped abruptly.

He pulled the fish out and saw a pair of dead fish eyes staring at him.

"Damn it, how unlucky it is to run into a dead fish."
