notice the people lying on the ground and Wei Jun sitting there.Even though Wei Jun’s face was splattered with blood, he still recognized him. Startled, he rushed over to ask, "Brother Wei, are you ok...Chapter 732/Chapter 733
Wang Manjiang never expected that the girl in charge of this project who came from the ancient city would be Xiao Yu's fiancée. Watching Xiao Yu whispering something to Yun Xi, Wang Manjiang felt a bit regretful for not having built up a good relationship with Yun Xi earlier.
He had also looked into Yun Xi’s resume. When Yun Xi initially requested these 50 million yuan, everyone in the health system knew that although their deep sea didn’t lack this money, it was still an attitude set by the ministry. Therefore, he had taken a look at Yun Xi's resume; her position was just a low-level clerk. He did not know what luck she had to reach this point, and in his view, someone must have made efforts on Yun Xi’s behalf for the ancient city.
Only now did he understand that it wasn’t because of someone making an effort for the ancient city but rather that the Health Ministry was aware of something and proactively came forward.
"What exactly is his background" Wang Manjiang looked at Xiao Yu and pondered, as he had known Xiao Yu for quite some time. When Xiao Yu’s clinic opened, it shocked him deeply, yet up until now, he still didn’t know Xiao Yu's exact identity.
At this moment, looking at Yun Xi sitting on the stage, Wang Manjiang remembered that she was the girl who was present when Xiao Yu’s clinic first opened. Back then, no one introduced Yun Xi to him when the clinic opened, so he didn’t know about her work.
Moreover, he had only met Yun Xi once before; back then, she looked very different from how she appeared now in a professional suit. Besides, he hadn't even carefully observed Yun Xi just now, not even taking note of what she looked like since she seemed like small fry to him at first glance.
Now that Xiao Yu had mentioned his fiancée, the image of Yun Xi from back then overlapped with her current appearance before his eyes.
At this thought, Wang Manjiang slapped his forehead in regret. How could he have not paid attention to Yun Xi's background Furthermore, when Yun Xi and the others arrived this morning, he didn’t meet them separately or chat with them, as he had deemed their level too low for him to need to come out of his office. After they entered the meeting room, he also didn't greet them personally nor pay much attention to Yun Xi. If he had met her beforehand, he might have recognized her.
Thinking about this, Wang Manjiang was very regretful. If it wasn’t for encountering Xiao Yu when leaving his office earlier, he would still not have noticed anything; today, he may have missed out on a great opportunity.
This was because he had never thought of it from that angle before. Without Xiao Yu coming over to him, he wouldn't have considered that Xiao Yu's fiancée could be an ordinary staff member in the health bureau of such a small place as the ancient city.
After Xiao Yu handed the documents to Yun Xi and stepped back, he stood at the door looking at Wang Manjiang and said, "Director Wang, what is this"
"Haha. I drank too much water earlier and had to go to the restroom. When Master Xiao arrived, I didn't leave. For lunch today, I will treat both of you as an apology for not recognizing your sister-in-law just now." Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wang Manjiang smiled and said.
Xiao Yu heard this and thought quietly before nodding his head and sitting in the last row; he would wait outside anyway, but it was better to stay here and watch Yun Xi. Therefore, after a brief hesitation, Xiao Yu sat down.
The section chief Lin from within the crowd frowned slightly when he saw Xiao Yu sit at the back of the room. He had known that Wang Manjiang wasn’t so concerned about this matter since Wang Manjiang came off stage earlier; thus, he felt secretly delighted. If Wang Manjiang placed great importance on this training session, then it would be difficult for him to act as he wished, but seeing Wang Manjiang's attitude made him realize that Wang Manjiang was not overly interested in this matter. This meant that even if he offended the people from the ancient city, nothing serious would happen, and those little townspeople who had just come over and offended his dignity were still clear in his mind.
Section Chief Lin felt secretly delighted when Wang Manjiang walked to the door and chatted with a young man, which puzzled him greatly. Moreover, it seemed like this young man might be part of those brutes from the ancient city, making him even more confused since Director Wang didn’t seem to know any of these people from the ancient city!
Section Chief Lin looked at Xiao Yu sitting among the crowd and showed a thoughtful expression.
Within five minutes, Wang Manjiang walked in again. After entering, he nodded at Xiao Yu who was seated in the last row before walking to the stage.
At this point, not only the people on the stage but also the leaders from various hospitals in Shendian City were surprised. Although most of them knew that Wang Manjiang had used the meeting as an excuse to leave earlier, no one would call him out since it wasn't a strange thing to do. However, what did his return mean
Even Liu Zhen was puzzled by this turn of events. When Wang Manjiang left earlier, he knew that it wasn’t for the meeting, but given Wang’s seniority level, there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing Wang Manjiang back in the room, he too felt bewildered as people who had left generally wouldn't return unless they were slapping themselves in the face.
‘Did Wang Manjiang forget something But that doesn’t seem right either! If he did forget something, would he really come back himself instead of just giving someone a call’ As everyone watched Wang Manjiang walk up to the stage, these thoughts occurred to them.
Only Yun Xi noticed Xiao Yu talking with Wang Manjiang and felt it was probably because of him. She also recognized this person as one who had attended Xiao Yu’s clinic opening ceremony.
After sitting down at the stage, Wang Manjiang whispered a few words to the deputy director speaking on the stage. Upon hearing Wang Manjiang's words, the deputy director paused for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.
In less than five minutes, the deputy director had concluded his speech; Wang Manjiang had earlier told him to only highlight the important points during his talk.
Initially, the deputy director was taken aback but quickly realized that Wang Manjiang’s return must be related to this matter. As a result, he briefly mentioned the key points and stopped speaking.
"Now we would like to invite Yun Xi, the founder of 'Medical Worker Ethics Training', to give us her speech! Clap clap clap..." After the deputy director finished his speech, Wang Manjiang moved the microphone and announced. He then smiled and started clapping as he looked at Yun Xi.
Seeing Wang Manjiang clap, others hurriedly followed suit.
After hearing Wang Manjiang's announcement, Yun Xi stood up, bowed slightly to those around her and began her speech.
Yun Xi’s speech occasionally drew enthusiastic applause led by Wang Manjiang. Regardless of whether they were leaders from the Health Bureau or heads of hospitals seated below, while they all clapped along, their minds remained puzzled at Wang Manjiang's sudden change in attitude compared to his previous behavior.
The only one displaying confusion was Chief Section Officer Lin, who secretly glanced towards Xiao Yu standing behind the crowd.
When Yun Xi finished her speech, it was almost noon. Under staff guidance, the leaders from various hospitals attending the meeting went for lunch. Of course, given their status in Shendian City, they could afford to skip the Health Bureau's arranged lunch if they wished and instead gather elsewhere for drinks.
"Dear leaders, Director Wang just informed us that he hopes everyone can limit alcohol consumption at noon and attend all afternoon sessions. If anyone needs to take leave due to personal matters, please find Director Wang to process it," said a middle-aged woman around forty as the group reached the building's entrance.
Hearing this, everyone paused for a moment before asking in unison, "Director Li, what’s going on today Director Wang..."
Upon hearing their questions, the middle-aged woman shook her head in puzzlement. As Chief of Director Wang’s Office, she knew many things about him. Today's guests from the Ancient City hadn’t received any special attention from Wang Manjiang, so after speaking briefly, he had left the venue citing an excuse. However, events developed beyond what was expected; Wang Manjiang left but returned shortly afterwards to continue attending the meeting, leaving her confused as well.
These people did not know that the middle-aged woman was Wang Manjiang's confidant and shook their heads in puzzlement. However, those who planned to go out for a meal whispered among themselves and followed the office director towards the restaurant.
All of these individuals were seasoned officials who knew when to be cautious; they were well aware of what needed to be done at any given moment. Moreover, today's events seemed unusual, making them hesitant to let their guard down.
After these hospital representatives left the meeting room, only a few leaders and staff members from the Health Bureau remained, with Wang Manjiang leading the group.
"Haha, little sister-in-law, you came without informing me. I almost offended you and lost face in front of Xiao!" After the hospital representatives left, Wang Manjiang stood up and walked to Yun Xi's side, laughing loudly as he said this.
Wang Manjiang knew that certain matters could not be concealed, so it was better to be upfront about them. This might leave a good impression on Xiao Yu. Thus, while smiling, he explained the situation.
Hearing Wang Manjiang's words, the people from the Health Bureau finally understood where the matter stood. Lin Section Chief did not leave; upon hearing what Wang Manjiang said, his heart raced wildly. Seeing that none of the bureau leaders noticed him, he quietly slipped out the door. He dared not stay here for fear of causing trouble if Yun Xi saw him.
Liu Zhen and Li Qing were also shocked by this turn of events. They did not expect Yun Xi to be acquainted with the head of this Health Bureau; after all, even a section chief was so arrogant here, let alone the bureau's leader
However, soon they became elated. Today's occurrences had left them feeling dissatisfied, but now that Yun Xi knew the bureau's leader, it filled their hearts with excitement.
The most delighted person was Liu Zhen; he had come here on a mission and initially thought things would be difficult due to offending the section chief. But now, everything looked promising! Perhaps what once seemed insurmountable could be resolved today—after all, if successful, this would be his political achievement upon returning home!
Originally, this task was quite challenging for him; as a vice-bureau director, he couldn't easily approach the leader of the Health Bureau in Shenzhen. If today's delegation had been led by another vice-mayor who handled health affairs, negotiations with the bureau’s head would have been possible, but Liu Zhen wasn't at that level. The most he could do was talk to the office director; it was uncertain how far such discussions might go.
In fact, he didn’t know that originally this delegation should have been led by a city leader, but none of them had previous experience in Shenzhen and were well aware of the officials' arrogance there. Hence, they had little hope and chose not to come, leaving Liu Zhen with the task.
Hearing Wang Manjiang’s words, Xiao Yu also stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage.
"Hehe, Director Wang is being too polite!" Yun Xi chuckled upon hearing Wang Manjiang's words.
"Brother, I offended little sister-in-law today. Let me treat you to lunch as an apology; please do come," said Yun Xi just then, and Xiao Yu walked over, shaking hands with Wang Manjiang when he saw him approach.
"Hehe, Director Wang, we won't be rude then!" Xiao Yu chuckled upon hearing Wang Manjiang's words.
Now that Xiao Yu had changed in personality somewhat, if it were the old him, he would have refused outright. After all, Xiao Yu hated social obligations most of all; but because of Yun Xi today, he agreed without hesitation.
"Great, great! Master Xiao, let’s go!" Wang Manjiang's face lit up with joy at hearing Xiao Yu agree. Although they had dined together a few times before, the meaning behind this invitation was entirely different.
Wang Manjiang then led Xiao Yu and others out of the building.
After seeing Wang Manjiang leave, the leaders of the health bureau exchanged glances and thought to themselves, "Who is this young man" They had all witnessed the change in Wang Manjiang just now. Furthermore, they saw how politely he spoke with Xiao Yu. Considering Xiao Yu's youthfulness, they couldn't help but speculate about his background, an idea which was shared by Liu Zhen.
Upon thinking of this, Liu Zhen quickly followed and left. Seeing him leave, the other leaders also followed.
The moment these people went out, Wang Manjiang waved at them from up ahead, signaling for them to catch up. As a result, the health bureau's leaders all caught up with him.
Wang Manjiang considered that Yun Xi was on official business and thought it would be better to have Xiao Yu eat together with these people as well since their effect could potentially be even better. After all, Yun Xi came here for official work, so Wang Manjiang also invited the bureau leaders.
After they finished eating, Wang Manjiang arranged them to rest in a few rooms beside the conference room and awaited the training session that afternoon.
This training would last for two weeks. The primary trainees were middle-level cadres from various hospitals who would then be responsible for training their subordinates once they had fully grasped everything themselves. After all, Deepsea wasn't like Ancient City where it was possible to train everyone at once.
Moreover, even if the training only targeted these middle-level cadres, there would still not be enough time given that numerous hospitals existed in this city, including municipal ones, community hospitals and enterprise hospitals. Each of them had a large number of people who needed to be trained.
Afther settling Xiao Yu and others, Wang Manjiang left the conference building. When he came out, those bureau leaders were waiting for him downstairs.
They hadn't managed to find out anything about Xiao Yu's background during their meal, which made them feel frustrated. They thus hoped to get some information from Wang Manjiang.
The moment they saw Wang Manjiang come out, they immediately surrounded and stared at him, asking, "Director Wang, who is this man named Xiao Yu"
"Hehe, have you heard about the big event that happened in the Public Security Bureau recently..." Upon hearing their questions, Wang Manjiang looked at them with a mysterious expression. There was only one person among them that he trusted, so it wouldn't be a problem if they found out his secret. Therefore, with a smile, he gave them an answer.
"The Public Security Bureau" Hearing this sentence, the others were stunned and said to themselves in shock.
"Ssssh..." They quickly recalled what happened in the Public Security Bureau after a moment's thought. Although no one had spread it outside, they knew about it since people of their status would have learned about it. This was why they felt so shocked upon remembering this matter.
Those individuals stood there and were stunned for over ten minutes before finally regaining their composure. By then, however, Wang Manjiang had already left.
The leaders who were Wang Manjiang's confidants hurriedly rushed to the administration building to report back to him while the others exchanged glances and wondered if they should do so as well If Xiao Yu really was that person, considering his relationship with Wang Manjiang, it would be impossible for them to not visit.
On those days, Xiao Yu didn't go anywhere else. After dropping off Yun Xi at the health bureau every day, he sat in the back of the room and listened. Although they repeated themselves over and over again, he never felt impatient. Not only was this true for him, but Wang Manjiang also frequently came to listen as well since he wanted to build a relationship with Xiao Yu; he didn't actually pay attention much.
The lectures by Yun Xi and others ended after half a month. After their lecture finished, Liu Zhen and Li Qing returned to Ancient City. Apart from completing his mission, Liu Zhen had also exceeded expectations in doing so, which made him eager to report back. As for Li Qing, she was out for nearly twenty days already; having a husband and child of her own, she was anxious to return as well. Thus, Yun Xi didn't stop them.
(To be continued...)ve been in such a hurry. Originally, he had planned on detaining Xiao Yu for at least one more day. But now that the driver Xiao Zhao finished it in no time, how could he afford to wait another day It...
