While they were talking, soone ca over. It was the leadership of Changxing Hospital, led by Vice Dean Geng Wenxiu, and several other vice deans ca over to offer their congratulations in advance.
These people were not invited by Zhao Feiyang according to his plan, but since they all worked at the sa hospital, even if Zhao Feiyang didn’t ntion it, he couldn’t ensure Pei Lin wouldn’t bring it up.
Everyone gave Zhao Feiyang red envelopes, but Zhao Feiyang resolutely refused to accept them. This was a decision he made a long ti ago. Although Zhao Feiyang had left the system, he didn’t want anyone to make an issue over this matter.
Geng Wenxiu said, "Dean Zhao, such an important event as your wedding and you didn’t inform us. Is it because you think our relationship isn’t strong enough, or are you dissatisfied with our work?"
Qin Guoliang echoed, "Exactly, Dean Zhao, what you did was not right. You’re distancing yourself from the people. You don’t know how to have fun with everyone."
Zhao Feiyang said, "Mainly because everyone is busy with work, and I didn’t want to trouble everyone. Besides, Pei Lin and I agreed in advance to keep everything simple."
"Even if it’s simple, we should at least have a celebratory drink and absorb so of your good luck," Geng Wenxiu said loudly, and several vice deans nodded in agreent.
At this mont, more people arrived outside. Gao Xinhua secretly gave Xu Chunliang a glance, and the two found an excuse to leave. On the way to get the car, Xu Chunliang ran into a few familiar faces.
One of them was Zhang Hengyang, the head of Da Heng East China Region. Seeing Xu Chunliang here also surprised him. He took the initiative to co over and greet, "Town Mayor Xu, Secretary Gao, you both ca to offer your congratulations too?"
Xu Chunliang replied, "Dean Zhao asked us to co and help out." This sentence showed their extraordinary relationship with Zhao Feiyang.
Zhang Hengyang also ca uninvited. Actually, he didn’t have a close friendship with Zhao Feiyang. Their bond was initially ford at Weishan Island, and they both recently encountered the mandate to rectify by Hu Shan Town, which led to so private exchanges.
Zhang Hengyang said, "Have you two eaten? Let’s eat together."
Gao Xinhua said, "I have to go back, there are guests waiting at ho."
Zhang Hengyang looked at Xu Chunliang, "Town Mayor Xu, give so face."
Xu Chunliang nodded, "Then I’ll first go to Huichun Hall to park the car, and we can eat nearby."
Zhang Hengyang told him to go ahead and choose a place first; he’ll be right over.
Xu Chunliang first took Gao Xinhua ho. On the way, Gao Xinhua laughed and said, "You seem to be quite the model deputy mayor. Are you enjoying it so much that you’re forgetting your old ho?"
Xu Chunliang laughed, "Just passing the days in a different place, don’t really have any real power."
Gao Xinhua said, "There’s a rumor going around Changxing lately, saying you’re ungrateful, and the first thing you did after leaving was to turn against your old ho."
Xu Chunliang said, "If it wasn’t , soone else probably would have been harsher."
Gao Xinhua laughed heartily, "Zhao Feiyang clearly treats you as one of his own by inviting you this ti."
Xu Chunliang said, "I don’t consider him an outsider either, but work is work, and personal relationships are personal; the two shouldn’t be mixed."
Gao Xinhua said thoughtfully, "Learned that from Zhao Feiyang."
Xu Chunliang laughed.
Gao Xinhua said, "Zheng Peian approached recently, wanting help to handle a leave of absence without pay. Are you aware of it?"
Xu Chunliang knew that Zheng Peian wanted to leave the unit to fully commit to their proctology hospital and laughed, "If it’s convenient for you, please help handle it. Old Zheng is accustod to working outside and probably can’t get used to a nine-to-five job."
Gao Xinhua said, "You’re still planning to keep it from . He’s established a hospital outside."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "That’s not really a secret."
Gao Xinhua said, "The hospital currently strictly prohibits clinical frontline staff from taking unpaid leaves; it’s allowed for administrative and logistical staff, and the retirent policy within 30 years is also gone."
Xu Chunliang said, "There’s always a loophole for every policy. If others can’t find a way, surely you, Secretary Gao, can figure it out?"
Gao Xinhua said, "Dean Zhao is keeping a close eye on this matter; it’s not easy to open this opening, at least not now. I do have a suggestion: Zheng Peian wants more ti, so he could be transferred to the ergency internal dicine departnt, where they work 24 hours and rest 72 hours, allowing ti for other matters. Otherwise, he could work the night shifts only."
Xu Chunliang knew that Gao Xinhua discussing this matter with him ant it was a favor being returned. Gao Xinhua and Zheng Peian’s relationship was ordinary, all because of the Xu Family’s connection.
Xu Chunliang said, "I think that’s feasible."
Gao Xinhua said, "I heard Dean Gu has settled in?"
Xu Chunliang nodded, "That’s right."
Gao Xinhua said, "Did your grandfather buy so shares?"
Xu Chunliang smiled, "Instead of asking him directly, you’re here getting intel from ."
Gao Xinhua laughed, "I was just wondering why Huichun Hall suddenly closed down, turns out it’s about growing bigger and stronger. I bet this was your idea."
Xu Chunliang said, "Why? Are you also interested in investing and joining in?"
Gao Xinhua shook his head and said, "Although I know opening a hospital will definitely make money, it’s not suitable for . I’m currently the Secretary of Changxing Hospital; if I do this too, what will people say behind my back?"
As they reached the entrance to the community, Gao Xinhua asked him to stop, saying there was no need to drop him inside. Before getting out of the car, Gao Xinhua asked, "Are you planning to return to Changxing?"
Xu Chunliang honestly said, "I haven’t considered this issue at the mont."
Zhang Hengyang arrived at the location provided by Xu Chunliang, which turned out to be an ordinary family-style restaurant.
Zhang Hengyang brought two bottles of Maotai, entered the private room, and Xu Chunliang hadn’t arrived yet. He asked the waiter to brew the tea he brought and personally unwrapped the utensils and rinsed them with hot water. It was at this ti that Xu Chunliang ca in.
Xu Chunliang said, "President Zhang, you’re quick!"
Zhang Hengyang replied, "Since I invited you this ti, of course, I had to arrive first, otherwise, how could I show my sincerity?"
Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "No need for you to invite, since it’s at my doorstep, of course I’ll be the host."
In fact, Zhang Hengyang had already ordered the dishes, and even paid for them, all to avoid letting Xu Chunliang settle the bill afterward. Zhang Hengyang reaching his current position was no coincidence.
Xu Chunliang sat down, took the tea handed over by Zhang Hengyang, took a sip, and said, "President Zhang, what urgent matter do you have to discuss with ?"
Zhang Hengyang thought to himself, don’t you already know what it’s about? He smiled and said, "There’s nothing particularly important, just wanted to have a drink and chat with you, to communicate about so of the recent events and avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between us."
After two cups of wine, Zhang Hengyang said, "Town Mayor Xu, can we keep the na Yiyang Hot Spring Town?"
Xu Chunliang said, "President Zhang, actually it’s not like this matter is targeting you, nor is it the town asking you to change the na. You should have heard about the recent incidents involving the Ecological Environntal Investnt Group. Their actions have had a very negative impact, and it has alard the city leadership. Secretary Zhou has decided to strictly regulate all hot spring-related industries within Dongzhou, conducting a comprehensive check of the hot spring industry, reviewing the qualifications of hot spring practitioners, resolutely closing establishnts that don’t et health standards, and firmly correcting companies with exaggerated publicity."
Zhang Hengyang thought, isn’t this docunt targeting the hot spring industry? Although we’re called Yiyang Hot Spring Town, we don’t actually have a hot spring.
Xu Chunliang said, "Even though you’re a real estate company, Yiyang Hot Spring Town is also using the hot spring concept, so it should be managed according to the standards of the hot spring industry. The city issued a directive, and we can’t just ignore it, can we?"
Zhang Hengyang felt rather speechless, they didn’t benefit from it, now the major rectification of the hot spring industry has dragged them into it: "Town Mayor Xu, you should know our situation; we’re not a hot spring resort."
"So, if you’re not a hot spring resort, why use the words ’hot spring’? Now everyone’s attention is focused on the hot spring issue, why look for trouble?"
Zhang Hengyang said, "Town Mayor Xu, changing the na is a big deal. It’s not that Da Heng is unwilling to cooperate, but it’s about the hobuyers’ feelings. If we change the na, it might make the buyers uneasy, and at worst, it could trigger a mass refund wave. As you know, Da Heng’s project on Weishan Island has been fraught with difficulties since it started, and if there’s any more trouble, I’m afraid we won’t be able to bear the loss. Ultimately, it’s not just Da Heng that’ll suffer, but also all the hobuyers."
His statent carried a hint of threat, suggesting that an unfinished project on Weishan Island wouldn’t benefit anyone.
Xu Chunliang, without showing anger but commanding respect, said, "President Zhang, this statent is quite irresponsible. There’s a saying that goes, ’Take soone’s money, relieve their disaster.’ Hobuyers have entrusted you with their money, and you think a simple ’unable to bear it’ is enough? Then what are we here for? What is the law for? If you’re at fault for poor managent, why should the common people suffer with you? And you’re using this matter to pressure the local governnt?"
Zhang Hengyang quickly smiled apologetically, "Mayor Xu, you misunderstood. That wasn’t my intention, I was just articulating the worst-case scenario. It’s just the two of us here, so I’m speaking frankly."
Xu Chunliang said, "So things are not to be said lightly. The interests of the people cannot be violated. Haven’t you learned this lesson profoundly enough? Don’t fall twice in the sa place."
Zhang Hengyang said, "Actually, I’ve always been opposed to the Weishan Island project, but our group’s Vice President Zhou Guangda insisted on going forward with it."
Xu Chunliang hadn’t heard of that before.
Zhang Hengyang said, "Initially, I was interested in the Weishan Island Hospital site, with a plan that if we couldn’t secure that plot, we would abandon investing in Weishan Island. Unfortunately, our Vice President was very optimistic about Weishan Island’s prospects, but after the project was implented, nurous problems erged during execution."
Xu Chunliang said, "So President Zhang believes the problem lies with the local area?"
Zhang Hengyang shook his head and said, "It’s related to the broader environnt. Mayor Xu, I admit, Da Heng has made quite a few errors in managent and sales, but settling in Weishan Island is ultimately beneficial for the local economy. I hope consideration can be given to our specific situation, and so policy support can be offered."
Now, let alone support, it’s already quite rciful of Xu Chunliang not to make things difficult for them.
