Break out of the courtyard

"Mr. Hua, what's going on here..." The young director of the Department of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Affairs had just reached the gate of Zhang's courtyard when he unexpectedly ran into Mr. Hua, who was coming out.

"It's good that Xiao Ye is here. I couldn't persuade Comrade Zhao Di. Why don't you go and talk to her again!" Old Hua stood to the side of the door, looking at the busy figure behind the courtyard, and shook his head with a slightly helpless expression.

Director Ye of the Department of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao smiled and said, "I heard that they are flying to Hong Kong Island this afternoon, so I came here specifically to discuss work matters with Comrade Zhang Zhaodi. Would you like to listen in, Elder Hua?"

"No!" Old Hua raised his left hand and pressed it on the other person's left shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "Communicate well. If it really doesn't work, approve her resignation. You'll have to deal with each other again in the future, so don't ruin the relationship."

"Don't worry, Elder Hua!" Director Ye replied softly, "My old man is still waiting in line for the Lifespan 120 potion, and I dare not offend Comrade Zhang Zhaodi."

Hua Lao patted the other person's shoulder twice with his fingers, then withdrew his hand and walked towards the car parked by the roadside.

Seeing Ye's youngest son arrive, Old Hua suddenly understood why Zhang Zhaodi insisted on resigning.

Ye, the youngest in the family who is two years younger than her, has already risen to a middle management position thanks to her father's connections.

And she...

After closing the car door for Mr. Hua, the guard, Xiao Qin, quickly ran back to the driver's seat and started the car.

"Mr. Hua, Secretary Chen just called to say that Zhang Nian has started working at the Economic Division of the Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong. She is currently only a regular office worker."

Old Hua had just heard the news from Zhang Zhaodi, and at this moment he simply hummed in response before closing his eyes to rest.

Back in July of this year, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) extended a job offer to Zhang Nian, but unfortunately, she declined.

Thinking back to how Zhang Nian, after graduating from Capital University, agreed to the school's job assignment and went to work at the Shanghai Stock Exchange alone, Hua Lao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, lamenting that such a good hand had been played terribly.

Before Hua Lao even got home, he received a call from Ye's youngest son, who reported on his communication with Zhang Zhaodi.

As expected, Zhang Zhaodi insisted on resigning, and Director Ye was unable to persuade her otherwise.

The main purpose of Director Ye's visit today was not to persuade Zhang Zhaodi not to resign, but to explain that it was not his family who was preventing Zhang Zhaodi from going to the tax department, so as to avoid failing to obtain the qualification for the trial of the Shouyuan 120 drug later.

As Zhang Zhaodi accompanied her parents to Hong Kong Island, Hua Lao canceled his meetings for the next few days and spent his days taking a small iron bucket and a stool to the ice surface of Houhai to guard the ice holes and fish!

……

Shenzhen, Peace College.

Secretary Chen, who was working in the study on the second floor of Hua Lao's Villa No. 4, hadn't even put down the landline receiver when his cell phone rang again.

Upon seeing that the caller ID showed it was Commander Chu, Secretary Chen did not rush to answer. Instead, he covered the phone's speaker with his finger to muffle the ringtone and continued to communicate with the other end of the line about the chip factory's production volume using the landline receiver.

The cell phone rang intermittently for five or six minutes before Secretary Chen finished speaking about what was happening on the landline.

Finally, he exhaled a breath of stale air, put on a smiling expression, and answered the phone call.

"Hello, Commander Chu, I'm sorry! I just went to the restroom and didn't bring my phone..."

"The expert team from the military region hospital? I haven't received any notification from my superiors that anyone is coming to exchange and learn. Tell them to go back and go through the procedures, and also tell them that this is a classified unit."

After speaking, Secretary Chen hung up the phone.

In the short time it would have taken him several minutes to answer, mainly because recently many expert groups wanted to come to Shenzhen Peace Academy, ostensibly to exchange and learn, but secretly to crack the Longevity 120 potion.

Because Zhang Heping has not finalized the list of trial patients for the Shouyuan 120 drug next month, and has not authorized the production line of the Shouyuan 120 drug, the No. 1 production building at Shenzhen Heping College has once again been shut down.

As a result, some elderly people who had not yet taken the medication believed in the so-called reverse engineering project and organized a group of experts to come over.

Putting aside the fact that Elder Hua did not agree to this, if Zhang Heping were to find out that the Shenzhen Peace Academy had allowed outsiders to enter and crack his Lifespan 120 potion, he would not only turn against them on the spot, but would probably also stop providing funding here, let alone provide any technology in the future.

There were already quite a few biological and medical experts at Shenzhen Peace College and Peace Hospital. Although Zhang Heping did not tell them about the Lifespan 120 drug technology, he did not stop them from reverse engineering the Lifespan 120 drug in the biological gene laboratory building.

Unfortunately, they didn't figure anything out, which led to the rise of certain conspiracy theories that only by bringing their experts could they crack the technology for making the Lifespan 120 potion.

Outsiders may not believe in their reverse engineering capabilities, but they shouldn't try to sneak in and spy on the technology just by talking. Top-secret research projects are not something just anyone is qualified to participate in!

The fact that Commander Chu had to make a phone call and have Secretary Chen act as the villain to refuse suggests that Commander Chu has connections or superiors at the military hospital where they visited today.

However, none of that matters. Secretary Chen and Brigade Commander Chu have a good understanding. If Brigade Commander Chu can handle something, he will never bother Secretary Chen. He will only call Secretary Chen to ask him to handle it when it is inconvenient for him to block it directly.

As for the superior that Secretary Chen mentioned, that would naturally be Elder Hua, the person in charge.

Of course, Zhang Heping's word counts, but it involves a lot of urgent reviews behind the scenes, unlike Hua Lao who can make a decision with a single word.

Sure enough, not long after Secretary Chen hung up the phone, Zhang Heping called.

"Secretary Chen?"

"It's me, Consultant Zhang, please speak!"

“I spoke with Wang Shouren, the acting president of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital, and he will come to Shenzhen Peace Hospital next month to serve as the acting president and rectify the irregularities in the hospital.”

"So... in Hong Kong, will they continue to select someone to serve as acting president, or will they directly appoint someone as the permanent president?"

"I think Dr. Wu Kun from West China Hospital is a good candidate to be the next acting president of Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital. Also, you can ask President Lu Weihua whether he will return to Fudan Hospital in Shanghai next month or come to Hong Kong Island Peace Hospital as vice president."

After Zhang Heping finished explaining the two personnel arrangements, he hung up the phone.

As for his mention on the phone of "rectifying irregular practices in hospitals," Secretary Chen immediately thought of Wei Chunqiao from the security company that protected him, who was staying in a three-person room at Shenzhen Peace Hospital.

If this had happened at the Peace Hospital on Hong Kong Island, Wei Chunqiao and his family certainly wouldn't have asked for a single room, because even if Eagle King went there, it would be a three-person room, let alone for others.

However, at Shenzhen Peace Hospital, because the elderly people were asking for special treatment, the three-person rooms were converted into single or double rooms.

The presence of guard posts at both ends of the Xueyuan Road intersection prevents ordinary people from entering Shenzhen Peace Hospital, turning it into a special, privately-run hospital. Crucially, Peace Hospital is a private hospital, not a so-called military hospital!

Secretary Chen picked up the landline and called Lu Weihua, the current acting president of Shenzhen Peace Hospital.

In fact, as early as after Zhang Heping's last trip back to Shenzhen to visit Wei Chunqiao in the treatment ward, Secretary Chen had a vague guess that Zhang Heping would do something to Shenzhen Heping Hospital.

From the current perspective, having Wang Shouren, the president of the Capital University Affiliated Hospital, handle the issues at Shenzhen Peace Hospital is a very lenient approach.

However, the call to Lu Weihua didn't go through, and then Commander Chu called again.

Secretary Chen assumed it was another expert group, so he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he held the landline receiver and waited for Lu Weihua to finish the call.

A few seconds after the phone stopped ringing, Commander Chu sent another text message:
[Consultant Zhang called me; he needs to discuss something with you. Please call him back immediately!]

Upon seeing this text message, Secretary Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled. Consultant Zhang had called him to arrange the hospital's acting director matter, so why was he looking for Commander Chu?

"Hello, is this Secretary Chen?" Lu Weihua's voice came from the landline receiver.

"Dean Lu, please wait a moment, I'll call you back later!" Secretary Chen hung up the phone and hurriedly picked up his cell phone to call Commander Chu back.

……

Cheung Family Villa, Victoria Peak, Hong Kong Island.

After finishing his phone call on the landline in the living room, Zhang Heping looked at Wei Chunqiao, who was unharmed, and laughed, "After your second son tattled on me, I've been thinking for days about how to deal with the special treatment those special people are getting."

"At present, all I can think of is to keep Shenzhen Peace Hospital open to the public, let ordinary people fill the hospital wards, and not give them the opportunity to seek special treatment. Only in this way can the so-called special treatment be properly resolved."

Holding his newly repaired right hand in his left, Wei Chunqiao said somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, boss. I'll deal with that kid later."

Zhang Heping waved his hand, then pointed to Wei Chunqiao's right arm and said, "Don't do heavy work with your right hand for a year, especially don't fire live-fire guns with high recoil. Just play with stun guns and laser guns."

"I'll listen to the boss, haha!" Wei Chunqiao replied with a simple and honest smile.

"Alright, go ahead and do your work!" Zhang Heping stood up and said, "I need to get back to my research too."

"Boss!" Wei Chunqiao stood up and hurriedly asked, "I heard about the operation on Double Twelve. Should we look for another opportunity to demonstrate our strength?"

“We originally intended to make an example of them that day, to deter the foreigners from underestimating our security capabilities, but the Americans didn't give us the chance.” Zhang Heping left the sofa area, stood in the middle of the living room, and turned to Wei Chunqiao, saying:
"There might not be such a good opportunity to showcase this again. Keep an eye on the company's mining areas, especially the gold mines, and see if anyone comes looking for trouble!"

"Yes, boss!" Wei Chunqiao replied excitedly when he heard that he had something to be assigned to him. "I'll pass the word down right away. I guarantee that those troublemakers won't leave alive!"

"Remember, we must be in the right!" Zhang Heping said, and then walked towards the stairwell.

After watching Zhang Heping's figure disappear, Wei Chunqiao left the Zhang family villa with a smile.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the villa, he kicked his second son, who was guarding outside, in the backside.

"Dad, why did you kick me?" Wei Lao Er was confused, but the next second, he was slapped on the back.

"You bastard! The boss is so busy, and you still bother him with that stupid hospital bed issue. I'll beat you to death, you idiot!" Wei Chunqiao said as he beat his second son, who was standing there dumbly taking the beating, until he staggered.

"Old Wei, stop hitting him!" Zhang Bing, who was taking care of his great-grandson on the plain, picked up 2-year-old Zhang Bo and advised Wei Chunqiao, "Your right hand has just been repaired. You can't use force, otherwise it will affect the recovery of your meridians!"

Wei Chunqiao quickly withdrew his hand and said to Zhang Bing with a smile, "Thank you for the reminder, sir. I'll be more careful next time!"

Zhang Bing approached, looked at Wei Lao Er who was bewildered and embarrassed, and laughed, "When your dad hits you, don't you run away?"

"What if we accidentally injure your dad's right hand? Are we going to cut off his right hand and then repair a new one?"

Wei Lao Er was stunned for a moment, then belatedly scratched his head, seemingly realizing that he should run away next time he was beaten.

"Grandpa, I'll take my little rascal with me now. If there's anything you need me to do, just ask any bodyguard to call me." After saying this, Wei Chunqiao saw Zhang Bing nod with a smile before pushing his second son away.

After the father and son entered the apartment building, Wei Lao Er said with dissatisfaction, "Dad, can't you talk things out properly? You punched and kicked me in front of so many people, which made me lose face. How am I supposed to lead my men in the future!"

"There's no other way! This beating has to be done in front of outsiders so that the boss hears about it." Wei Chunqiao patted his son on the back and said softly while waiting for the elevator:
"The boss just dismissed Director Lu of Shenzhen Peace Hospital in front of me and sent Director Wang of Hong Kong Peace Hospital to Shenzhen to rectify the issue of single and double rooms in the hospital there."

"Do you know why the boss didn't deal with it earlier or later, but only waited until I came back to see him before calling to deal with your report?"

"Think carefully about the reasons. If you can figure it out yourself, I will let you go to the overseas branch for training."

Wei Lao Er thought for a long time, and followed his father home, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Wei Chunqiao did not urge him on this. Only when his son realized what was wrong with tattling would he understand that the boss was giving his family an explanation on the surface, but secretly using this incident to subtly point out that Wei Lao Er had also violated the rules!

According to the Peace Group's regulations, any employee can send whistleblowing materials to the headquarters' "Feedback Collection" email address or chat account via internal email or internal chat software.

The only exception is the clause about directly submitting materials to report someone!
If all employees were like Wei Lao Er, constantly going to Zhang Heping to submit materials and report on others, wouldn't things be in complete chaos!
Despite his lack of formal education, Wei Chunqiao has followed Zhang Heping for many years and has come to understand Zhang Heping's temperament to some extent.

Therefore, even if Zhang Heping didn't explicitly tell him, Wei Chunqiao could quickly grasp the deeper meaning behind it.

However, it's not enough for him to understand this alone. Only when his children and grandchildren can understand what the boss doesn't explicitly say, just like he does, can they go further and higher in the company.

Compared to Wei Chunqiao's approach to raising his children, Zhang Heping did not have as many demands on them.

He went to the underground game room, glanced at his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi who was queuing to play the virtual dream game, as well as Zhang Nan and the Xie sisters, and then turned around and went to his laboratory.

As the amount of equipment in the laboratory increased, Zhang Heping moved his brain-computer interface laboratory to a large flat floor on the third basement level.

This floor is very large, leading not only to the apartment building behind, but also through secret passages into several neighboring protected residential areas.

In addition, some of Umbrella Security's weapons are also stored on this floor... (End of Chapter)
