The Imperial Physician in the City - C128 Decline
Bureau Chief Han said, “Dad, don’t try this again. Instead, help Dr. Cao out and I’ll handle this matter. Don’t worry about it. Rest well.”
“Alright, don’t mess this up …”
“No, we’ll be leaving first. Have a good rest.” Chief Han got up from his chair, followed by his wife.
“Go ahead and drive carefully.” Old Head Han waved his hand and said to Cao Ziyang, “Dr. Cao, we’ll meet again in a while.”
Cao Ziyang acknowledged, and followed Bureau Chief Han out of the villa. This trip was strange, and the way they walked was even weirder, because the experiences they had during this time were all very scary. In the end, they were still considered to be happy, and to be able to leave, they had to leave with their blessings, not with a curse, or with a missing part of their body.
Bureau Chief Han was going home to see his old man. He didn’t bring the driver, but brought his wife. Therefore, he drove his own car. It was an administrative car and was officially used for public transportation. Cao Ziyang was sitting in the back seat of the car, Chief Han was driving, and Mrs. Han, out of politeness, was sitting beside Cao Ziyang, not the passenger seat.
Cao Ziyang could finally see the scenery that he previously could not see. This was the outskirts of the northern part of the city, why would the Old Head Han live here? It was a little strange. It was so far away from the city so it was inconvenient for him. However, to take a step back, what could an old man in a wheelchair do?
The car drove around the city. After being silent for a while, Bureau Chief Han spoke up, “Dr. Cao, can I discuss something with you?”
Cao Ziyang acknowledged, “Speak.”
“My dad is already so old, so it’s not convenient for him to run around. Also, he doesn’t like the noisy environment in the city, so he might not get used to it or be sick. Can you come here and treat him? “Even though it’s in the suburbs, I can try my best to satisfy all of your requirements. As long as you don’t affect my dad’s rest, we can discuss about who you’re bringing and what entertainment you might have when you’re visiting.” After slowing down, Bureau Chief Han continued, “Of course, if you like living in the city, I can send someone to pick you up at fixed times every day. You can live directly at a municipal hotel, provide five-star services, and I can also provide you with an assistant and a tour guide. All of your expenses will be reimbursed to ensure your safety and protection from outside interference, including the media.”
Cao Ziyang was a little depressed. Old Head Han had just issued an order, why was this son of his unwilling to give up? In fact, he was trying to make things difficult for Cao Ziyang, who was not planning to collect much money. Strictly speaking, he did not want to see this patient who was using a gun to force him to come. And who doesn’t have a job? Cao Ziyang could not agree to this. Ignoring the fact that he was unwilling, even if he was willing, what did the Vice-Principal Mao think? Saying the truth didn’t necessarily make him believe it.
Thus, in order to avoid getting into trouble, Cao Ziyang felt that he had to refuse.
After considering his words, Cao Ziyang said, “Bureau Chief Han, I’m sorry, I can’t agree. My job has just started and I need to deal with a lot of personal matters. The key is that I’m not familiar with this area, so it’s difficult to do anything, such as gathering simple drugs, so I hope you will respect me.”
Cao Ziyang was very firm, and Bureau Chief Han could tell that he was not the type of person to make things difficult for others. Furthermore, his father had already given the order, so he immediately went along with Cao Ziyang’s words: “Since that’s the case, I can only respect Dr. Cao’s opinion …”
Cao Ziyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you.”
The Mrs. Han sitting beside him interrupted and said to Cao Ziyang: “We should be the ones thanking you.”
Cao Ziyang smiled.
Mrs. Han said to her own husband: “I will go with my father to Nanhu Lake, there shouldn’t be a problem, we can find a safe place to stay. Although it is inconvenient, the most important thing is to cure the disease.”
Cao Ziyang could tell that he was trying to smooth things over. This woman was pretty good.
The car continued on the road. It was night and there weren’t many cars. Soon, the city was in sight.
Entering the city, Chief Han asked Cao Ziyang: “Dr. Cao, are you going back to the hotel?”
Cao Ziyang acknowledged!
“Alright, I’ll have a meal tomorrow at noon. What do you think?”
“This …” Cao Ziyang obviously didn’t want to go. He was a doctor, not a drinker, and it was awkward eating with his leader. He didn’t like the environment at all, “I have something to do tomorrow, why don’t we find some free time!”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“The association is out on a tour the day after tomorrow.”
“Then… What about the day after tomorrow? ”
“He probably isn’t back yet.”
Chief Han wanted to slap him. Who was he? A well-known figure, the Secretary of the Political and Law Commission and the Chief of Public Security, since when did it take so much effort to treat someone to a meal? Usually it was someone else who invited him and begged him to go, but this little doctor didn’t appreciate it at all. However, he could not be bothered with Cao Ziyang, the little doctor. First of all, his father did not let him go, but if this little doctor was able to come back to life, what was this grievance to him?
After thinking it through, Bureau Chief Han chuckled twice and said, “Alright, since we haven’t been fated recently, I’ll treat you to a meal in Nanhu Lake when I have the chance.”
The atmosphere was so cold just now, Mrs. Han was also sweating profusely. Now that her husband had expressed himself, she said: “Yes yes yes, there’s still some time in the future, and there’s always a chance, wouldn’t I be going to Nanhu Lake? I can treat Dr. Cao to a meal. ”
Chief Han said, “Then it’s a deal …”
Cao Ziyang nodded, he looked at the smiling Mrs. Han and felt very awkward. This woman’s voice was very pleasant to listen to, very soft, but she had said the same thing just now. How ambiguous.
When the car finally arrived outside the hotel, Cao Ziyang casually said goodbye and got off. After the car drove away, he felt a little more at ease. He was not used to communicating with such a powerful figure, at least not yet. Besides, he was a little against the family. Although they had made a hundred and eighty degree turn, it was still hard for him to forget the black pistol and the cold hole.
The next day, when Cao Ziyang woke up, he checked his phone out of habit and found a message from an unfamiliar number. It had five words: Guess who I am.
Cao Ziyang pressed the reply button: crazy. If you want to say something, say it, but if you don’t want to say it, say it, then say it.
After sending the short message, Cao Ziyang quickly went to wash up, pushed open the door and left.
Ma Ruyun did not sit on the sofa and read the newspapers or watch TV as usual. Instead, she prepared breakfast on the table.
After eating breakfast, Cao Ziyang hurriedly returned to his room to retrieve his belongings and left the hotel.
Cao Ziyang used to want to buy all sorts of products when he was very poor, but now that he had the money, he no longer had the desire to buy them. Wang, very strange, unable to understand.
As he was walking, his phone suddenly vibrated. There was a text message. It was the unfamiliar number: “What happened to you?” His tone was so fierce.
As Cao Ziyang walked, he replied: Let me guess who you are this morning.
The other side quickly replied: “Then I can’t possibly be in the middle of the night, right?” Alright, let me give you some hints. You have a classmate who raises white pigeons!
Cao Ziyang broke out in a cold sweat. Of course he wouldn’t be so stupid as to think that this was the student who raised white pigeons, this was Fang Nan, he had promised Fang Nan that he would bring her to fetch the white pigeons when she was well.
He scolded Fang Nan so early in the morning?
Immediately, Cao Ziyang stopped and saw a university along the road. There were rows of stone benches in front of the gate, and he walked over and sat down, replying with concentration: I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you. I just didn’t like to guess.
Fang Nan still replied quickly: I know, I should tell you, but since I got the phone, I just wanted to let you guess if I get excited.
Cao Ziyang: Who gave you that phone?
Fang Nan: Hehe, my mom.
Cao Ziyang: Oh no, I forgot to call your parents to ask about their situation.
Fang Nan: They are very good, speak dirty words.
Cao Ziyang: Can’t help it, what about you? How are you?
Fang Nan: I’m fine. I play games and watch the news everyday. What do you think I saw?
Cao Ziyang: Probably saw me.
Fang Nan: Yeah, you are very famous now, do you have any fans who want your autograph on the streets?
Cao Ziyang: I’m a doctor, not a star.
Fang Nan: The doctor also has a fan.
Cao Ziyang: I hope not, because those who came to find me must be sick.
Fang Nan: Your words are awkward, didn’t I send a short message to find you? I’m sick too? Oh, okay, I’m sick, but soon, you’re going to take me to get the pigeons.
Cao Ziyang: I remember.
Fang Nan: What are you doing?
Cao Ziyang: I sent a short message to a beautiful lady.
Fang Nan: Heh heh, is there anything else?
Cao Ziyang: I’m going to buy a bag. My bag seems a little bad.
Fang Nan: Then go and buy it, I won’t disturb you anymore, I’ll wait for your return.
Cao Ziyang did not reply, and immediately took out Lan Ling’s number to call. Lan Ling was watching a TV show, and soon picked up the call. Her tone of voice had a hint of impatience, as if she hated being disturbed by others watching TV, but when she heard Cao Ziyang’s voice, she immediately became spirited and answered Cao Ziyang’s questions, because Cao Ziyang’s ointment treatment was very effective, so she ended the call in gratitude.
Keeping his phone back in his pocket, Cao Ziyang wiped off his sweat, he had actually forgotten about such an important matter. Fortunately Fang Nan had reminded him, otherwise, things would have become troublesome! Although the chance of a problem was very small, as a doctor, one shouldn’t have the mentality to get lucky. If you don’t take responsibility for the patient, then you won’t be responsible for yourself, and if the patient has problems, then you will have problems yourself, in short, you should carefully drive a ship for ten thousand years, and the after-sales service must be of good quality.
After calming himself down, Cao Ziyang continued shopping. He did not know the way, but it did not matter since he had plenty of time. He was even able to find some delicacies and spent one hundred and thirty yuan to buy a bag of decent quality!
It was already two o’clock in the morning when Ma Ruyun had already woken up and was eating lunch. Cao Ziyang said: “Aren’t you going to sleep a little longer?”
Ma Ruyun said: “I’m hungry, did you eat it? I’ll help you shout. ”
“I’ve already eaten outside.”
Ma Ruyun acknowledged.
“Eat, I will go back to my room to rest. There will be a meeting at 3 o’clock, you can continue sleeping and don’t have to follow me.”
Ma Ruyun still responded with an “oh”.
Cao Ziyang entered the room, but he was not resting at all. Instead, he poured all the items from his old bag into his new bag, directly throwing the old bag into the dustbin. He then comfortably leaned against the bed, turned on the TV, and watched TV until it was 2: 56 p.m. before leaving the room.
