Chapter Ninety-six: Picking People

  On September 1st, after breakfast, the clinic was unusually quiet, and Wang Xu temporarily had some free time. Following Yun Chongzhi's suggestion, he began to sort out some prescriptions that could be made into traditional Chinese medicine. Just then, Xie Xiaoyu arrived, saying that Han Guanglin had invited him over.

  Wang Xuli put down his work and followed Xie Xiaoyu to Han Guanglin's office. Han Guanglin's office was not large, with a simple layout, only one desk, a set of wooden chairs and a tea table by the side.

  When Wang Xu came in, Han Guanglin was wearing glasses to look at things. Seeing Wang Xu, he took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead, and squeezed out a smile: "I asked you to come over today to let you go to Yun City for a trip."

  "Going to Yun City?" Wang Xu asked in confusion.

  "The First Affiliated Hospital of Yuncheng City has had a series of deaths this month, with over 20 patients dying in a row. The situation is very severe. An emergency meeting was just held and the provincial committee decided to temporarily set up an expert team to investigate. I've decided to have you lead the team." said Han Guanglin.

  "Over 20 patients died in a row?" Wang Xu was shocked: "In just one short month?"

  "Not bad, the Yun Cheng side has been hiding and not reporting, planning to privately suppress it. Who would have thought that things are getting more and more serious? Yesterday alone, there were three deaths. Such a severe situation has already attracted attention from many media outlets. Yesterday afternoon, there was even a crowd demonstrating in front of the First Affiliated Hospital." Han Guanglin nodded, looking somewhat tired.

  "Hasn't Cloud City figured out the cause?" Wang Xu asked.

  "We can't wait for the Yun Cheng side's news, such a serious matter, it may alert the central media, so the provincial party committee decided to temporarily set up an expert group." Han Guanglin waved his hand and said: "This time the impact is very bad, we must give the masses an explanation, your task this time is to investigate the truth, no matter what the reason, thoroughly investigate and make it public."

  "Can I do it? The provincial party committee has so many experts?" Wang Xu asked tentatively.

  "You don't have to belittle yourself, your current reputation is in no way inferior to so-called experts. I'm sure nobody will object. The reason I didn't use the provincial committee's experts is that they are constrained by their physical presence and have too many concerns, so they can't let go of their hands and feet. That's why I let you lead the team, also giving you an opportunity. You can also take this chance to resolve the issues from your past in Yun City. I'm giving you a green light all the way." said Han Guanglin.

  "Alright, I will definitely live up to expectations." Wang Xu nodded his head in agreement.

  "Go ahead, the expert group members are already waiting for you. Once you arrive in Yun City, you can ask Xiaoxue first, she's at the hospital and should know some of the situation." Han Guanglin reminded him.

  "Understood." Wang Xu nodded and hesitated for a moment before turning to Han Guanglin: "Secretary Han, I have a condition?"

  "Speak," said Han Guanglin, sitting back in his chair and saying calmly.

  "I hope that this time the members of the expert group can be selected by me, not too many people, mainly to ensure unity, otherwise it may be a waste of effort in the end," said Wang Xu.

  "Alright, you choose, and this time for the Yun Cheng trip, I'll have Xiao Xie accompany you. You have two days." Han Guanglin said, holding up two fingers: "You must find out the reason within these two days."

  "I will definitely go all out," Wang Xu replied. After bidding farewell to Han Guanglin, he left the office and was led by Xie Xiaoyu to the Provincial Health Department.

  At the same time Wang Xu and Xie Xiao Yu were on their way to the Health Bureau, a group of people in a conference room inside the bureau were chattering nonstop. A man in his fifties suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said indignantly: "What's going on? We're actually being led by a young whippersnapper like him. What kind of joke is this?"

  "It's just a barefoot doctor who really thinks he has skills." Another person chimed in.

  "Alright, let's just keep quiet about it. I heard that this time, Secretary Han personally gave the order. If he finds out, we'll be in big trouble." someone whispered.

  "Secretary Han can't ignore human rights, right?" The middle-aged man who spoke first retorted, but his voice was noticeably softer, as if he were muttering to himself.

  "Hu Lishi, you tell me, isn't Secretary Han being a bit too playful?" After muttering to himself, the man still wouldn't give up and asked someone in his 40s standing beside him.

  "Secretary Han has his own measure, this Wang Xu is young but skilled in medicine. A month ago, when Old Hua was critically ill, it was he who saved him." Hu Qunlian said lightly, these health department experts are usually just good at talking, but if they really encounter something, they're absolutely a bunch of useless people.

  "Which doctor cured Hua Lao?" someone exclaimed, and a lot of resentment in his heart dissipated. For this month, the major hospitals in Huacheng have been talking about Wang Xu's affairs, and they naturally heard about it.

  Not to mention curing Hua Chaoyang's illness, just the initial refusal to treat him has caused a lot of controversy.

  At that time, the famous doctors of Jiangzhou were all gathered at the Provincial Hospital, but they couldn't do anything. Wang Xu's wonderful prescription made Hua Chaoyang turn danger into safety, which was like ascending to heaven in one step. Moreover, Han Guanglin interceded on his behalf, and it would be impossible for this not to be known by others.

  "Even if his medical skills are good, he's still too young after all. How can he lead a team?" Someone spoke out in disagreement.

  Just as everyone was discussing, Jiang Qunsheng, the director of the Provincial Health Department, led Xie Xiaoyu and Wang Xu to push the door and walk in, and the scene suddenly became silent.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to this gentleman, he is Secretary Han's secretary, Director Xie of the Provincial Committee's General Office, and he is the leader of this expert group. Mr. Wang Xu, our consultant, welcome everyone." Jiang Qunsheng introduced with a smile.

  The audience burst into applause as Jiang Qun's words fell, and some people who were dissatisfied with Wang Xu dared not make a fuss in front of Xie Xiaoyu.

  Xie Xiaoyu pressed his hands together to stop the applause: "Everyone, I think you all know what happened in Yun City this time. The impact is very serious, and Secretary Han is very angry. So, we specially invited Dr. Wang Xu, a medical expert, as a special consultant for this investigation. He will lead an expert team to Yun City to investigate. Now, please let Dr. Wang say a few words."

  As soon as Xie Xiaoyu's words fell, before Wang Xu could speak, the middle-aged man who had just been clamoring spoke up and said: "Secretary Xie, I think it's a bit hasty to let Dr. Wang be the leader. Dr. Wang's medical skills are superb, everyone knows that in their hearts, but after all, he lacks experience. I hope Secretary Xie can suggest to Secretary Han to choose an expert with high moral character and rich experience to lead the team, and Dr. Wang can participate as a member."

  "What's your opinion, Mr. He? I've taken note of it. Does anyone else have an opinion?" Xie Xiaoyu asked with a smile, nodding his head slightly.

  "I agree with He Lishi's opinion, Director Lan is experienced and has returned from abroad, making him suitable to lead this trip." Another middle-aged man stood up and said, after which he seemed to feel that his words were too obvious, so he added: "He Lishi, as Secretary Han's personal doctor, is also a good candidate."

  "Does anyone else have an opinion?" Xie Xiaoyu nodded and asked again.

  "I agree with Mr. He and Director Cheng's suggestion." Seeing someone taking the lead, Xie Xiaoyu was no longer angry, and someone else chimed in, there were ten people present, only four of whom had not spoken up, two of whom Wang Xu knew, namely Lan Maosheng and Hu Qunliang.

  "Is there anything else to say?" After waiting for the scene to calm down, Xie Xiaoyu asked again. After asking, seeing that no one made a sound, he continued: "Everyone's opinions are very pertinent, and Secretary Han has also considered them. This time, the expert group went to Qizhong mainly because of this investigation. In order not to make mistakes, Secretary Han decided that the members of the expert group going to Yun City would be personally selected by Wang Xuguang."

  "Whoa!" As Xie Xiao Yu's words fell, the crowd below suddenly erupted into a commotion. The few people who had just spoken up with their opinions suddenly turned pale.

  They originally thought that sitting here was already a member of the expert group, and did not expect to be personally selected by this young consultant.

  "Thank you, Secretary..." He Lishi stood up again with a hint of discontent, ready to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Xiaoyu: "If Director He has anything to say, he can report it to Secretary Han in person. Please don't delay the meeting."

  "Ah!" He Lishi almost choked on his words, slowly sat back in his chair, and became dispirited. To them, this trip to Yun City was undoubtedly a bad omen. With their status, they might not be anything in Zhongjiang, but in Yun City, they were undoubtedly the top leaders. The expert group members were selected by that young doctor, and those who had just spoken probably didn't have a chance anymore.

  "Doctor Wang, you choose." After finishing with He Lishi, Xie Xiaoyu turned around and said to Wang Xu.

  Wang Xu nodded and first looked at Hu Qunliang with a smile, saying: "Hu Lishi, we meet again. I don't know if you're willing to accompany me on a trip to Yun City?"

  "Doctor Wang invited me, and I couldn't ask for more." Hu Qunliang smiled.

  "Would Old Jiang mind accompanying me on a trip?" After saying that to Hu Qunliang, Wang Xu turned his head towards another elderly man who had not spoken up and asked with a smile. This person was precisely the one he had met when treating Hua Chaoyang - Jiang Xueqian.

  "I have no opinion." Jiang Xueqian smiled and nodded. After asking Jiang Xueqian, Wang Xu turned his head again to the middle-aged man who had been silent all along, except for Lan Maosheng, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what to call you?"

  "This is Ke Donglin from the Provincial People's Congress, Director Ke, a renowned tumor expert." Jiang Qunsheng, the director of the Health Department, hastily introduced.

  Wang Xu nodded and turned his head to Xie Xiaoyu, saying: "Director Ke and Qian Yousheng are also coming, the five of us will be almost there."

  "Alright, I'll have someone inform Old Qian. We'll head to Yun City immediately." Xie Xiaoyu nodded in agreement and led Hu Qunliang and the others out of the conference room.

  Watching the backs of several people leaving, Lan Mao Sheng's face looked extremely ugly. Originally, he thought he had a sure win and even planned to take over Wang Xu's position as team leader, but in the end, none of the expert group members were his match.

  PS: To all book friends, Wang Xu rushes to Yun City to collect debts and repay kindness. After being suppressed for so long, it's time to rise up! I hope everyone will support me more, and at the same time recommend a great urban novel, [bookid=2637956,bookname="Hacker"]
