The Chancellor’s Hall was large, covering an area of two hundred square metres, and was divided into three areas, the dining room, the lounge and the pantry.
When Director Li heard the sound, he immediately turned his head, looking towards the lounge.
Creak-
The door of the lounge opened, and an old man wearing a Tang suit and leaning on a cane walked out from inside.
The old man was over seventy years old, his sparse head was combed back, a few age spots grew on his thin face, and although he was old, his body radiated a huge aura, and he was not an ordinary person at a glance.
“Elder Xiang!”
Director Li was startled and quickly stood up, saying to the old man, “Good day to Old Xiang.”
“Hmph.”
The old man let out a heavy cold snort before saying to Liu Chao, “Little Liu, come over and help me.”
“Elder Xiang, it’s better for the junior to come.”Director Li stepped forward and wanted to assist the old man.
The old man suddenly raised his cane and blocked Director Li, saying, “I’m an old bone, I don’t dare to trouble Director Li.”
Director Li looked embarrassed.
“It’s better for me to do it.”Liu Chao helped the old man and sat down on the chair.
Director Li stood beside the old man and made amends, “Xiang Lao, my juniors didn’t know you were here, it’s really not right to be slow, I hope Xiang Lao will bear with me.”
“I’m already used to it, ever since I retired, not many people have put my old bones in their eyes.”The old man said, “Only Little Liu, often come to see me.”
Liu Chao laughed, “Once a teacher always a father, you are my teacher, it is proper to see you.”
The old man took a sip of tea and said, “Director Li.”
“Xiang Lao, you can just call me Little Li.”Director Li respectfully said.
The old man said, “You are a hand of the Health Bureau, how dare I call you Little Li, it will make me lose my life.”
Director Li’s heart felt something bad.
Xiang Lao’s tone towards him was unfriendly, which showed that was extremely dissatisfied with him.
“Liu Chao wanted to fire Ye Qiu and knew that I would stand in the way, so he purposely invited Xiang Lao over to put pressure on me?”
“If it’s just that, there’s no need to spend a large amount of money to set up a table here, right?”
“It seems that this meal tonight, is a Hongmen Banquet na!”
As Director Li thought of this, he immediately said, “Elder Xiang, no matter what, I am your junior.”
The old man said, “Director Li, you’re defending that Ye Qiu so much, did you receive any benefits from him?”
Director Li was busy saying, “Xiang Lao Mingjian, my junior definitely did not receive any benefits from Ye Qiu, it’s just that Ye Qiu cured my father’s illness and was kind to me.”
“Really?”The old man looked disbelieving.
“It’s really like this.”Director Li added, “The late generation doesn’t dare to deceive the senior.”
“Even though Ye Qiu saved your father’s illness, his promotion to Director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has you in it, right? So, you don’t owe him any favours and there’s no need to defend him anymore.”
The old man continued, “As you are the head of the Health Bureau, Liu Chao is under you, and now that he has been beaten up, shouldn’t you do justice for him?”
Would Liu Chao be beaten up if he didn’t cause trouble himself?
Director Li tentatively asked, “Xiang Lao, what do you mean?”
Xiang Lao said, “I suggest that Ye Qiu be expelled from Jiangzhou Hospital, and in addition, a doctor like him who casually beats people up should have his licence to practice medicine revoked.”
Liu Chao followed, “The medical career is the top priority of our society, Ye Qiu dared to hit me and will dare to hit patients in the future, in order to avoid worse situations, black sheep like Ye Qiu should be removed from the medical system in a timely manner.”
Director Li was shocked.
This was to block Ye Qiu!
Once Ye Qiu had his medical qualification revoked, then in the future, he wouldn’t be able to treat patients no matter where he went.
This was too mischievous!
“Director Li, what do you think?”The old man asked when he saw that Director Li was silent.
Director Li said, “Ye Qiu’s medical skills are very powerful, he is a rare Chinese medicine sage, in time, he will definitely become a national medical sage.”
“He’s still young, I don’t think we can revoke his licence to practice medicine.”
“Maybe there’s some misunderstanding between him and Director Liu, I’m willing to be a middleman and help mediate.”
Without waiting for Director Li to finish his sentence, Liu Chao sneered, “Misunderstanding? Director Li, look at the injuries on my face, is this a misunderstanding?”
“This matter is already obvious, it’s that Ye Qiu who is disrespectful and hit people, what else can be a misunderstanding?”The old man said, “Director Li, you don’t agree with the suggestion I just made, right?”
“Elder Xiang, I think that”
“You just need to tell me, do you agree or disagree with my suggestion?”
Xiang Lao released a huge aura on his body, and cold sweat appeared on Director Li’s forehead in an instant.
Director Li said stiffly, “Elder Xiang, I don’t agree with your suggestion, I think”
“Hmph, since you don’t agree, there’s no need to talk more nonsense.”Xiang Lao interrupted Director Li in dissatisfaction.
Liu Chao said grimly, “Director Li, it looks like you’re determined to make an enemy of me!”
“Director Liu, that’s not what I meant.”Director Li said, “I just don’t think it’s necessary to cut off a young man’s future because of a small matter.”
“A doctor, hitting the dean with his hands is still a small matter?”Liu Chao said, “I can clearly tell you that I’ll clean up Ye Qiu.”
Director Li frowned.
The tone of Liu Chao’s speech was irritating, but with Xiang Lao present, Director Li didn’t show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
Xiang Lao instructed Liu Chao, “Fire Ye Qiu tomorrow, how can someone like that be a doctor?”
“Don’t worry, if anyone gets in the way, I’ll help you smooth things over.”
“Director Li, if you dare to block it, I don’t mind talking to the relevant department and changing the director.”
At those words, Director Li’s face was unusually ugly.
Right at this moment, with a bang, the door of the room opened.
Ye Qiu swaggered in from outside.
“Yo, there are quite a few people. Good day, Director Li.”Ye Qiu nodded to Director Li, ignored Liu Chao and Xiang Lao, and sat down on a chair.
Following that, he reached for a bottle of Wuliangye and unscrewed it, pouring a glass for himself before drying it in one gulp.
“This wine tastes good.”
After drinking it, Ye Qiu even commented.
Immediately after, Ye Qiu picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Liu Chao’s face was gloomy as he said, “Ye Qiu, do you know the rules, who told you to move your chopsticks?”
Ye Qiu said, “Dean Liu, didn’t you want to invite me for dinner? What am I doing here without eating?”
“You–”
“You are Ye Qiu?”Elder Xiang said coldly, “Hasn’t your family’s adult told you that the juniors can’t eat first before the elders move their chopsticks? You don’t even know the minimum etiquette, and you deserve to be a doctor?”
“I, Ye Qiu, act, why do I need to explain myself to you!”Ye Qiu looked up at Elder Xiang and asked with a disdainful face, “By the way, what kind of thing are you that you deserve to talk about me?”
