From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Mei Ru Xue, on the way to the hospital with Xu Chunliang, brought up the incident today where He Tiantian accidentally broke a plate, and she shared her recent observation with Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang, reminded by her, also found the matter a bit puzzling: "Lu Xiangnan, Xiaosinan, that really is quite a coincidence. But wait, Xiaosinan’s last name is Jiang."

Mei Ru Xue said, "Forget it, we shouldn’t gossip about other people’s business."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "Although I don’t know who Xiaosinan’s father is, I do know who your daughter’s future father is."

Blushing, Mei Ru Xue replied, "I never thought of having kids this early."

Xu Chunliang said, "It’s not up to you to decide."

"You’re awful!" Mei Ru Xue felt sweet in her heart.

At this moment, her phone rang, and Mei Ru Xue answered: "Uncle! What? Hmm, okay, I’ll come over right away."

After hanging up, she said to Xu Chunliang, "My uncle has come to Dongzhou, I need to hurry over."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’ll arrange a yacht to take you."

"No need to trouble others, there’s a ferry anyway, and I don’t want to leave and get gossiped about," said Mei Ru Xue, who valued reputation. When she was a town mayor, she used to keep her dates with Xu Chunliang secretive, and she’s even more against abusing public resources for personal use.

Mei Ru Xue dropped Xu Chunliang at the hospital and hurried back to pack. In fact, her work handover at Hu Shan Town was complete, and she mainly wanted to stay a few more days to accompany Xu Chunliang. Now that her uncle had come to Dongzhou, she had to rush over to meet him.

Xu Chunliang first went to the construction site, where the area was being leveled. An upcoming foundation ceremony was happening the day after tomorrow, and they couldn’t have the guests and leaders walk through the mud. According to the plan, they had to lay out a red carpet on site.

Ding Si was at the scene directing, and upon seeing Xu Chunliang, he hurried over.

Xu Chunliang asked about the preparations, and Ding Si told him everything would be ready by tomorrow morning at the latest, and it wouldn’t delay the day’s ceremony.

Xu Chunliang gave a simple instruction to keep everything straightforward, just make the scene lively, which was also Dong Changhao’s directive. According to him, it was the group leader’s instruction not to splurge unnecessarily.

Tan Haiyan was also present, clearly somewhat nervous. Not only was Dean Zhao Feiyang coming to the ceremony, but also leaders and directors from the Huayuan Group, along with anticipated leaders from Dongzhou and Weishan County, although they still hadn’t received specific lists.

Xu Chunliang came over and greeted, "Sister Tan."

Tan Haiyan said, "Xiaoxu, you’re just in time. Has the guest list for the day after tomorrow come out yet?"

Xu Chunliang replied, "No, I haven’t received any notice from above yet."

Tan Haiyan complained, "I really don’t know what these people are doing. It’s urgent, and there’s no specific list. Who exactly is coming? How high is the rank of the leaders, and how many are coming? We don’t have any information."

Xu Chunliang said, "What is confirmed is that Dean Zhao and Vice President Dong will definitely come. From the leadership side, Secretary Qin from Hu Shan Town will also be there."

Tan Haiyan said, "You’ve mentioned these; if it’s just them, it would indeed be easy to prepare."

Xu Chunliang said, "I anticipate some big leaders will come."

Tan Haiyan asked, "Anticipate?"

Xu Chunliang nodded. Tang Jinglun would certainly seize the opportunity regarding the Healthy Elderly Care Hospital to release good news, thereby stimulating Huayuan Group’s stock prices to try overcoming the current predicament. He certainly wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

Tan Haiyan thought Xu Chunliang had some insider information and whispered, "Is there inside information?"

Seeing her sneaky expression, Xu Chunliang was amused and shook his head, jokingly suggesting, "If you really want to know, just give Dong Changhao a call and ask."

Tan Haiyan said, "I haven’t even talked to him much." She had a genuine apprehension of the leadership.

At this moment, a call came from Mei Ru Xue.

Xu Chunliang moved aside to answer the call: "What? Missing me so soon after leaving?"

Mei Ru Xue wasn’t calling to flirt. She quietly said, "I just found out, my uncle is coming to Weishan Island."

Xu Chunliang was momentarily surprised: "To meet me?"

Mei Ru Xue laughed. "He’s not that curious. This time he’s in Dongzhou representing the province for research on cultural, education, and health work. As for why he’s coming to Weishan Island, I’ll have to meet him to find out."

Xu Chunliang knew Qiao Yuanjiang is a member of the Pinghai leadership team, he remembered that he was in charge of propaganda in the past, it seems that his division of labor has been adjusted.

This news instantly raised the standard of the groundbreaking ceremony several levels. Given Qiao Yuanjiang’s rank, if he arrives on site, the main leaders of Dongzhou City would all come along.

After Xu Chunliang ended the call, he immediately called Ding Si over: "Brother Si, the groundbreaking ceremony this time will be held to the highest standards!"

Ding Si was a bit confused. After all, earlier Xu Chunliang was telling him to keep everything simple. How did it suddenly change?

Tan Haiyan, listening on the side, quickly reminded Xu Chunliang, "Xiaoxu, didn’t they say the groundbreaking ceremony should follow the principle of doing big things with little money?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Just wait and see, preparing in advance is never wrong."

Not long after, Dong Changhao called to ask how their preparations were going. Xu Chunliang gave a brief report on the preparations, intentionally saying they were following his instructions to keep everything simple. Before he finished speaking, Dong Changhao got anxious.

Dong Changhao emphasized: "I never said to keep everything simple. What I said was that the groundbreaking ceremony should be lively and grand."

Xu Chunliang really wanted to slap this guy. He denied what he said just a few days ago. He thought about it, and guessed that Dong Changhao also just found out a big leader was coming.

Xu Chunliang said, "How grand? Should we prepare twenty-one salute cannons?"

Dong Changhao could tell it was sarcasm. He had experienced Xu Chunliang’s harshness before, so he quickly softened his tone: "Xiaoxu, I only received the notice too. It’s a directive from the group leaders. So, I’ll come over right away, let’s discuss it together. This matter must be taken seriously, no carelessness."

Xu Chunliang said, "Who’s being careless? President Dong, you don’t trust me, do you?"

"No, no, I absolutely did not mean that."

Xu Chunliang said, "You better not come. Everyone is very busy, and I really can’t find time to entertain you."

Dong Changhao was taken aback and didn’t dare to lose his temper. If this kid gets mad, he’d do anything. Right now, at a crucial moment, if he drops it, the one ending up embarrassed would still be himself.

Dong Changhao understood this logic and immediately dismissed the thought of going over right away, holding back his anger he said, "Xiaoxu, if you need anything just say the word. Don’t worry too much about the budget. Make sure this opening ceremony is grand, the bigger the impact, the better."

Xu Chunliang said, "President Dong, don’t worry about things here. The groundbreaking ceremony is the day after tomorrow, and we still haven’t gotten a guest list. Who’s coming? How many people? We should have some general idea so we can prepare. If you want grandeur, and impact, that’s not my responsibility. My responsibility is the on-site preparation and coordination, to maintain order on the day of the ceremony, and to ensure logistical support. Publicity is your area. If you want a bigger impact, you spend money to buy headline spots on major portal websites. If that’s not enough, you can invite CCTV to do a live report."

Dong Changhao was rudely dismissed by Xu Chunliang. Before he could respond, Xu Chunliang said he was busy and directly hung up.

Dong Changhao held the phone, his face turning pale with anger. I’m the vice president of the Health and Wellness Division, the company document clearly states my leadership position, I’m on the same level as Zhao Feiyang, you, Xu Chunliang, are my subordinate, I’m your direct leader, on what grounds are you assigning me work?

It took Dong Changhao quite a while to catch his breath, gnashing his teeth, he cursed, "Damn it!"

After cursing, he glanced around to see if anyone heard. If Xu Chunliang heard, he certainly wouldn’t let it go. Only then did he realize that deep down he feared Xu Chunliang, being a direct leader was merely in name, that guy dared to beat up Tang Tianyi, let alone me?

Despite his anger, Dong Changhao still had to do his job. The news that Qiao Yuanjiang was coming was very sudden, and Tang Jinglun had just informed him.

This incident proved that Tang Jinglun still had some influence in Pinghai. Although the Huayuan Group had encountered several troubles lately, as one of the key representative private enterprises in Pinghai, the provincial government still pays close attention to it.

Upon arriving in Dongzhou, Mei Ru Xue first went to meet with her uncle. While parking, she saw Secretary Zhou coming out from inside, undoubtedly having just met with her uncle.

Mei Ru Xue didn’t get out of the car immediately, trying to avoid meeting Secretary Zhou. Only after Secretary Zhou left did she get out and head toward her uncle’s residence.

Qiao Yuanjiang was standing on the balcony of the little building at the moment. He actually saw his niece getting out of the car, smiling and waving at her.

Mei Ru Xue looked up, saw her uncle, and waved back in response.

When she came into the room, Qiao Yuanjiang had just returned to the living room, saying with a smile, "You came really fast, I thought you’d arrive by evening."

Mei Ru Xue said, "The expansion of Weishan Island’s pier is completed, increasing the number of ferries. If everything goes smoothly, it takes only about an hour and a half to come over from the island. Once the expressway opens next year, the time will be reduced to less than an hour."

Qiao Yuanjiang praised, "You’ve really done a lot on Weishan Island."

Mei Ru Xue dared not claim credit, "The major policies are determined by Dongzhou’s leadership, I just happened to come at the right time."

Qiao Yuanjiang said, "That’s opportunity, I always believe that in life, opportunity is the most important."

He always thought he was born at the wrong time. If the opportunity had been better, his position would definitely not stop here, but now, he has missed the best time.

However, Elder Qiao did not think so. The old man didn’t like his eldest son because he lacked outstanding political wisdom and the effort required. Most importantly, he lacked the courage to fight, and at his current age, Qiao Yuanjiang had no possibility of moving forward.
