Chapter 88: Chapter 88, The Older the Ginger, the Spicier

The person who came was none other than the dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Meng Changhai.

Seeing Meng Changhai appear with a cup of water, Zhao Gang snorted heavily: "Dean Meng, you’re just in time. Xu Wendong shows no respect for his seniors and blatantly disobeys the dean. Such a disruptive element should be kicked out of the medical team, or will we keep him around till the New Year?"

"Is that so?" Meng Changhai feigned puzzlement, then handed the cup to Xu Wendong with a kind smile: "Go, get me some water."

"Yes, Dean Meng." Xu Wendong accepted the cup with both hands and went to the water dispenser to fill it.

Meng Changhai looked bewildered: "Dean Zhao, Xu Wendong doesn’t seem as disobedient as you claim."

A glint of coldness flashed in Zhao Gang’s eyes; he snorted before turning away in frustration.

"Thank you, Dean Meng, for getting me out of that situation." Ding Yao was full of gratitude.

Many people in the hospital knew Zhao Gang pursued Ding Yao and had come to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital more than once for her. Of course, Meng Changhai had also come to Ding Yao’s aid several times.

Although his position wasn’t as high as Zhao Gang’s, as the dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Zhao Gang couldn’t touch him even if he harbored resentment.

"You are a doctor under my supervision; I can’t just stand by and watch you get bullied, can I?" Meng Changhai smiled as he took the water cup from Xu Wendong, then said, "Dr. Ding, later on, write a report for Xu Wendong’s regularization; I’ll approve it."

Xu Wendong was stunned; a look of incredulity appeared in his eyes: "Dean Meng, do you mean that I can be regularized now? Isn’t this against the procedure?"

Normally, the internship period is three months; after which, one can formally become regularized. Although he knew he would definitely get regularized, he’d only been at the hospital for a few days!

Ding Yao also had a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"It’s just a procedure, nothing more. It’s something you deserve. Alright, Dr. Ding, write the regularization report later." Meng Changhai said with a smile and then left with his teacup.

Ding Yao was somewhat puzzled by what Meng Changhai was thinking.

Xu Wendong vaguely guessed Meng Changhai’s intentions.

It seemed to be helping him get regularized, but in reality, it was to curry favor with Li Zhenfeng. After all, he was Old Master Li’s savior. If he remained just an intern, it was somewhat disrespectful to Li Zhenfeng.

Conversely, if Meng helped him get regularized early, it would show his respect for Li Zhenfeng.

This was a way to show goodwill to Li Zhenfeng through him!

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was three in the afternoon.

An uninvited guest arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

It was none other than Jin Jianyuan from Jin Zhuang and his son, King Kong.

And they specifically requested Xu Wendong for therapy.

"Old Master, why did you come to the hospital? Didn’t I tell you to stay home? I would visit you for therapy. Isn’t the therapy fee costly?" Xu Wendong quickly helped Jin Jianyuan to a seat in the therapy room.

Jin Jianyuan chuckled: "It’s no problem. Our village is about to be relocated. If nothing unexpected happens, this old man will soon become a millionaire."

Xu Wendong laughed: "Are the folks in your village planning to set off fireworks to celebrate?"

"Those young rascals have already prepared."

Jin Jianyuan’s tone suddenly shifted, and he couldn’t help but say, "Divine Doctor Xu, if you take on the task of redeveloping South City, we from Jin Zhuang will certainly lead the way and cooperate with your work."

Xu Wendong was helping Jin Jianyuan with a massage. He paused at these words, wearing a look of confusion: "Old Master Jin, why do you say that?"

Jin Jianyuan grinned but said nothing.

"They say the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. The ancients didn’t deceive me!" Xu Wendong smiled wryly. He knew that Jin Jianyuan was aware he was being used as a tool.

Indeed, many people knew that Zhao Sihai’s death was untimely.

Anybody who knew the inside story was speculating about him.

Not to mention, Jin Jianyuan had witnessed him being severely injured at the South City Sub-bureau.

As he massaged Jin Jianyuan, he said, "I will strive for that project, but I can’t guarantee the result."

Jin Jianyuan said, "If you can take on this project, we from Jin Zhuang will definitely cooperate with your work. The compensation for relocation will not be a concern."

Xu Wendong couldn’t help but ask, "What if someone else takes on the project?"

Jin Jianyuan showed an unseemly smile: "Jin Zhuang may be poor, but its influence in South City is renowned. As long as we agree to relocate, other villages will certainly follow suit."

"If we, Jin Zhuang, refuse to relocate, even if the other party offered astronomical compensation, other villages wouldn’t dare to sign the supplemental relocation agreement."

"If, indeed, someone else were to take on the project, I won’t say much, except that we’d demand at least two billion more in compensation."

Xu Wendong replied, "One must strive for something in life. Since I’ve been so used, I won’t hand this project over so easily. I will fight for it."

"I understand." Jin Jianyuan cautiously asked, "Divine Doctor Xu, can my son recover?"

Xu Wendong glanced at King Kong, who was sucking a pacifier and grinning foolishly. He softly said, "He can recover, but I don’t have the ability yet, unless I can completely kill the evil spirit at the bottom of the well, making it release King Kong’s human soul."

"Wait for me a little while longer."

Jin Jianyuan nodded solemnly, tearfully saying, "Divine Doctor Xu, as a father, I sincerely wish for my child to become normal again."

"But I also want to say, please don’t push yourself on this matter."

"We might not have interacted much, but I can sense you’re an idealistic, ambitious, rebellious young man. In these times, there aren’t many capable people like you. I don’t want my son’s condition to endanger your safety."

Xu Wendong cheerfully said, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

Shengjing Shanshui Villa District.

Uncle Fu stepped out of a black Mercedes and quickly entered a five-story villa spanning over a thousand square meters. He walked towards a petite girl on the living room sofa, who was petting a cat and watching Doraemon: "Miss, I just got the news that Wu Mei and Chen Ping’an have joined forces."

"They’ve collectively put up six billion in seed capital to secure the redevelopment project of South City and have already reached out to the leaders of the Bureau of Urban Construction."

The girl, absorbed in watching TV, asked, "So, they realized Zhao Sihai’s death was a conspiracy?"

"Yes," Uncle Fu said with a serious expression, "it’s all because of Xu Wendong. That guy’s capabilities are more terrifying than we imagined."

A sneer appeared on the girl’s face: "He’s just a grassroots boy from a rural area; how capable could he possibly be?"
