"Huo Renli, I'm Jiang Zunyi. Who are you talking about?"
An old and angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Uh, Executive Jiang, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. What can I do for you?"
Huo Renli's face changed, and he hurriedly apologized with a smile. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect it to be the old executive.
If Executive Jiang was only the executive, he, a doctor who returned from abroad, would not pay attention to him. After all, with his medical skills, he would be successful in any hospital.
But if he was the elder brother of the deputy minister of the National Ministry of Health, he had to tuck his tail between his legs and flatter deliberately. If he really annoyed the old executive, he would have no place to stand in the whole Shenzhou.
"Order? How dare I order such a great man as" Famous All over the World "?"
Executive Jiang was full of anger and said sarcastically.
"Haha, Executive Jiang, please calm down. I'm also in a bad mood, and I didn't recognize your voice. You are a great man and don't bear grudges against me. Don't argue with me."
Huo Renli gave a hollow laugh, and his face was full of flattery. He kept apologizing.
"Oh, you still know you have a bad mouth. Huo Renli, are you f * cking sick? How did Ding Ning offend you? Why did you make trouble for him?"
Executive Jiang flew into a rage and growled, "Our hospital can't keep a great Western man like you. Tomorrow, you hand in your resignation."
Executive Jiang, who had always been good-tempered, began to scold him, which made Huo Renli's heart skip a beat, and he asked with a pale face,
"Old executive, what the hell is going on? I just criticized Ding Ning on the Internet, didn't I? Is it necessary for you to ask me to resign? "
"A few words of insults? Haha, Huo Renli, I think you've been abroad for too long, and your brain has become stupid. You don't even have the most basic political acumen. Ding Ning's paper was published in a national journal. Don't you understand what it means? "
"It means … the country's support for traditional Chinese medicine."
A flash of lightning flashed in Huo Renli's mind, and his face suddenly turned pale. He slumped on the chair and muttered, "It's over, it's over!"
"You also know it's over?"
Executive Jiang scolded angrily, "I thought you are a doctor of medicine and a capable person. Recruiting you into the hospital can also benefit the people of Shenzhou. Usually, you are a little arrogant and like to make sarcastic remarks, but I never thought that you should make those remarks attacking traditional culture on the Internet with great fanfare. The Ministry of Health called me, but I didn't take it seriously. I wanted to talk to you tomorrow morning, but now even the National Security Agency has found me. They suspect that you are a spy sent by foreign hostile forces and want to carry out a detailed investigation on you. Just wait to be interrogated."
"Old Dean, you have to save me. I'm really not a spy. Besides, I wasn't the one who posted the dissenting comments online. Weren't there others? Why are you targeting me? "
Huo Renli was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He was so scared that tears came out of his eyes. He begged in a tearful voice.
"Why do you think he has his eyes on you? Who asked you to be in the limelight the most, to jump the most happily, to say the most unpleasant words, and to say the most outrageous words? Everyone else is just following your lead. Who else can they target if not you? "
Executive Jiang roared with anger still lingering.
"I … I was wrong. What should I do now? Old Dean, you have to help me. "
Huo Renli trembled all over and begged desperately in panic.
"Alas!"
Executive Jiang sighed deeply, and his voice also eased a little. "Since you are a staff of my hospital, I will sacrifice my old face to be a guarantor for you once and let the National Security Agency withdraw the investigation on you. But you must make a gesture and show your attitude, so that I can talk with you. Otherwise, no one can save you."
"Okay, okay, old Dean, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say. As long as the National Security Agency doesn't arrest me, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Huo Renli was overjoyed. He didn't look reserved as a chief physician at all and said hurriedly.
"First, apologize to Ding Ning officially on Weibo. Be more sincere. Second, put away your foreign style and be careful with your words and deeds. Although Shenzhou is a country with freedom of speech, you should know how to control your mouth on some sensitive topics. Third, change your mindset. Don't always think that you are superior to others because you are an overseas returnee. Remember, this is Shenzhou, not a western country. Remember your identity as a Shenzhou citizen and don't forget your roots. Can you do that?"
Executive Jiang said seriously.
"Yes, I can do that. I'll apologize to Ding Ning now."
At this moment, Huo Renli didn't care about his face anymore. As soon as he thought of the National Security Agency, the cruel scenes of spies being interrogated in some movies flashed in his mind, which made him shudder with fear.
Although he was not a spy, he had done a lot of shameful things in his life. Under the torture of the National Security Agency, he was afraid that he would even confess that he had wet the bed when he was a child.
"Then do it quickly. Try to get Ding Ning's forgiveness and eliminate the negative influence. In this way, I can ask someone to find some connections for you. I hope you won't let me down."
Executive Jiang said in a serious tone.
"Thank you, thank you, old director. I won't let you down."
Huo Renli felt that he had survived a disaster and said gratefully.
After hanging up the phone, Huo Renli didn't dare to neglect and immediately issued a formal statement, saying that he had drunk too much and talked nonsense. Chinese medicine was the treasure of Huaxia and the precious wealth passed down by our ancestors. As a Shenzhou citizen, he should always remember the grace of our ancestors. He would definitely vigorously promote Chinese medicine and spare no effort to carry forward the traditional culture of Shenzhou.
He solemnly apologized to Ding Ning, to all his Shenzhou compatriots, and asked for Ding Ning's forgiveness.
The reversal of the plot puzzled everyone, especially those practitioners of Western medicine. They tagged him and asked him if he had drunk too much or if he had a fever. Or was he having a fever? Why was he spouting nonsense?
Some real friends who knew him directly called him and asked him what was going on and whether there was any shady business.
Huo Renli didn't dare to say a word and said righteously. He had really drunk too much before. He had always loved his motherland and Chinese medicine. Otherwise, he could have stayed abroad to live. Why did he come back to work in China? He had made some achievements in his studies and wanted to serve his motherland.
Those who were not familiar with him were almost moved by him, while those who were familiar with him secretly curled their lips. "Serve your motherland? Everyone in your circle of friends knows that you slept with a gangster's woman abroad and fled back to China because you couldn't survive there. Who are you kidding?"
However, they couldn't escape from Huo Renli's words no matter how hard they tried. In the end, they had no choice but to give up.
Huo Renli wanted to tell them his difficulties, but he didn't dare. Who knew whether the National Security Agency was monitoring him now?
In a small courtyard in Yan Jing, two men in their 40s or 50s sat opposite each other and drank. Jiang Zunyi hung up the phone and smiled proudly at Minister Jiang, Jiang Kairong, who was listening to them. "It's done!"
Minister Jiang laughed and gave him a thumbs-up. "Brother, you are so resourceful. You even brought up the flag of the National Security Agency. Thank you so much this time."
"Well, I have no choice. Huo Renli does have a knack in terms of nerves, but he is arrogant and unruly. He thinks that the sky is the boss and he is the second boss. If I didn't have you as my brother, the deputy minister, he wouldn't even take me seriously. I have long wanted to knock him down, but I haven't found a chance. I'm afraid that I will drive him away in anger."
Executive Jiang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Now the competition among the major hospitals is so fierce that it's hard to keep good talents. I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. Not only did you keep a talent like him, but you also gave him a good knock."
Minister Jiang frowned and sighed helplessly. "I've seen his remarks on the Internet. Not only Ding Ning, the person involved, is depressed, but even I am angry. I can't wait to arrest such a person and shoot him. The Internet is a product of social progress. It brings convenience to information transmission, advertising, commercial activities, guiding public opinion, government acceptance of public supervision, consumption and shopping, and so on. But at the same time, it is also a double-edged sword. The corresponding network violence also does a lot of harm. If such irresponsible remarks are allowed to guide public opinion on the Internet, it will bring a great negative impact to the image of our country. If he is not a doctor in your hospital, I really intend to call the police to arrest him and teach him a lesson."
Executive Jiang was startled. "Is it so serious?"
"How can it not be serious? Think about it. Now the situation in the international society is complicated. Everyone knows the destruction of the Third World War to mankind, so all countries are restraining themselves. Large-scale wars will not easily start, but local fights in small areas have never stopped. In this situation, cultural invasion and economic invasion have become the main means of invasion. I won't talk about the harm of economic invasion. Let's talk about cultural invasion. To some extent, cultural invasion is more terrible than economic invasion."
Minister Jiang said bitterly, "In ancient times, the sages of Shenzhou had already realized the horror of cultural invasion. In the history of Shenzhou, some enlightened emperors used such means. For example, Princess Zhaojun left the frontier and married Xiongnu, and Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Gampo of Tubo. By marrying ethnic minorities, they taught them advanced technologies such as farming, smelting, weaving, architecture, wine-making, pottery making, calendar, medicine, handicraft manufacturing, etc., to spread the culture of Shenzhou and let these ethnic minorities gradually learn Han etiquette, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of assimilating them. But now, Shenzhou, a great country, is also suffering from the same invasion of Western culture. However, so many people of Shenzhou still can't see through this. I have to say that this is a great irony and sorrow."
Executive Jiang said sympathetically, "Although I study Western medicine, I also have a deep feeling for traditional medicine. Seeing the decline of traditional Chinese medicine, I'm also very sad, but I can't say much. After all, Western medicine is fierce and has been recognized by most people of Shenzhou. People don't care about traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine. In their eyes, they will recognize whichever medicine can relieve their pain and prevent them from being troubled by diseases. I have to say that Western medicine has now been deeply rooted in people's hearts and occupies more than half of the country. It's good that the country wants to vigorously support traditional Chinese medicine, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to implement it to change people's ideas. The road to the recovery of traditional Chinese medicine still has a long way to go."
"The recovery of traditional Chinese medicine is only one aspect. Calligraphy, seal carving, Shenzhou knots, Beijing opera masks, shadow puppets, martial arts, peach blossom fans, cloisonne, jade carving, tea, and so on, there are too many things that can be excavated. Spreading the culture of Shenzhou around the world is the latest measure of our government. After a long period of turmoil and war, Shenzhou has entered a period of peace. If we want to rise rapidly and be recognized by the international community, we must have our own characteristic culture. As long as we have the determination and persevere, I believe that sooner or later, Shenzhou will stand on the top of the world again."
