From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Yan Huaiyi felt extremely comfortable in his heart. He truly admired his vision. Zhao Feiyang, that guy, was like a blind person who didn’t recognize a diamond in the rough. It was one thing to ally with others to suppress me, but he couldn’t even use a young, capable person like Xu Chunliang well. He deserved to be in a predicament now.

Everything went exactly as Xu Chunliang had predicted. As soon as the new site for the Infectious Disease Hospital started to erect the perimeter wall, it encountered local residents’ obstruction. The reason was very simple; they feared that the arrival of the Infectious Disease Hospital would spread diseases everywhere. The construction unit clashed with the old mining district’s residents, and both sides were extremely agitated, causing even the mining district police to get involved.

After hearing about it, Pan Junfeng rushed to the scene in a panic and patiently explained that the Infectious Disease Hospital itself was not a source of infection; they adhered to strict construction standards, and theoretically, it was impossible for illnesses to spread outside.

The residents simply didn’t understand what "theoretically" meant. They believed that building an Infectious Disease Hospital here posed a severe threat to their health. No matter how well you explained, could you control the patients from wandering around? Could you monitor wastewater discharge? Could you govern the air? Many infectious diseases are airborne; if the hospital were built here, wouldn’t their air be polluted?

Initially, there were a few unclaimed graves, but when they heard that the perimeter wall was being erected to level the ground, even distant relatives appeared, making various demands regarding the relocation of graves. It’s not that they refused to move, but their asking price was truly exorbitant.

Pan Junfeng spent a whole day at the scene, finally agreeing to a temporary halt in construction after being advised by the local police, which finally dispersed the residents.

Looking at the mess at the site, Pan Junfeng felt almost drained. Such huge resistance had appeared at the very beginning. If they officially started construction, who knows what kind of difficulties they would face.

The construction firm responsible for the preliminary engineering was also scared by the scene today. If not for the timely arrival of the police, they almost got beaten up. In fact, this project doesn’t earn much money, and it’s really not worth taking such a big risk for a small profit. The construction firm also began to feel hesitant.

Pan Junfeng was at a loss; he decided to ask for Xu Chunliang’s opinion. Although Yan Huaiyi hadn’t agreed to let Xu Chunliang come over and help, if Xu Chunliang himself was willing to come, Yan Huaiyi would probably respect his opinion. Xu Chunliang was the first to notice the problem, so since he pointed it out, he should have a solution.

On his way back, Pan Junfeng called Xu Chunliang. He asked if Xu Chunliang had time and if he wanted to have dinner together and chat. It was already past six in the evening, and asking someone to dinner at this time was somewhat abrupt.

Xu Chunliang agreed quite readily and asked Pan Junfeng to come directly to his house, as there was no one else at home.

Pan Junfeng thought this was pretty good, as some conversations were unsuitable for public places. Visiting for the first time, he didn’t come empty-handed and brought two bottles of Guoyuan liquor, which he had suggested for dinner, feeling it wasn’t polite to let someone else arrange all the alcohol and food.

When Pan Junfeng arrived at Xu Chunliang’s villa, he realized this young man was truly wealthy. Only the rich or noble could reside in Hidden Lake Villa. The chief of the gastroenterology department, Liang Guangsu, even lived in the garden houses of Area B, while Xu Chunliang lived in a villa in Area A.

Though Pan Junfeng was no stranger to wealth, human nature dictates a certain awe in the face of power and riches, and he was no exception.

Xu Chunliang had a nearby restaurant deliver six dishes and prepared two bottles of Moutai.

Pan Junfeng said, "Xiaoxu, let’s drink my liquor today." The Guoyuan he brought was already good, but it couldn’t compare to the Moutai Xu Chunliang prepared.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "You’ve come to my home; there’s no reason for you to bring the liquor. Try mine." He opened a bottle of Moutai and poured it.

Pan Junfeng said, "Is it just you at home?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I live with my grandfather, but he’s gone to the Capital City to visit friends these days. It’s just me here for now." It was only today that he quieted down. His little aunt, worried about his grandfather, had also gone to the Capital City. She had plenty of time since she was already on summer break. Ji Jiajia had also been sent out by Xu Chunliang and was currently arranged to stay in a dormitory at Changshan Hospital.

Pan Junfeng laughed and said, "I heard your grandfather is Mr. Xu from Huichun Hall."

Xu Chunliang nodded, "He’s retired now, and we’ve temporarily put away the Huichun Hall sign."

"Elder Xu is a leading figure in Dongzhou’s Traditional Chinese Medicine community. His withdrawal is a significant loss to our community." Pan Junfeng wasn’t exaggerating with this statement.

After having two drinks, Xu Chunliang asked, "Dean Pan, do you have anything you need from me?"

Pan Junfeng sighed and said, "Today, I came to seek your advice. Wasn’t the hospital supposed to first erect the perimeter wall on the hospital ground in the mining area? I didn’t expect that as soon as construction began, many people from the mining area Worker Village went to obstruct it. A fight almost broke out at the scene. These residents don’t understand and insist that our Infectious Disease Hospital’s relocation there will pollute their water and air and spread disease. Isn’t that ignorant?"

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "From our perspective, it does seem ignorant, but if you look at it from their point of view, it’s only human nature. Who in their right mind would want an Infectious Disease Hospital opened right outside their door, wouldn’t you agree?"

Pan Junfeng said, "Just because a few people object, it doesn’t mean we stop building our new hospital. Xiaoxu, you have experience in this area, and you’re quick-witted. This time you have to help me."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "Dean Pan, I appreciate your confidence in me. It’s only you and me here, so I won’t beat around the bush. The position of head of the planning office sounds grand, but it’s currently a hot potato. I doubt anyone in our hospital dares to take it."

Pan Junfeng said, "Others may not dare, but you won’t? You have the ability. Tell me, what are your concerns?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Dean Pan, before I came to the Infectious Disease Hospital, I heard some rumors that several hospital leaders aren’t too harmonious."

Pan Junfeng laughed, "There are bound to be disagreements. Which hospital doesn’t have them? I can assure you that all our intentions are for the hospital’s good, and there are no personal grievances between us."

Xu Chunliang said, "Then I’m relieved. But as a newcomer, aren’t you afraid of what others will say if you assign me significant tasks?"

"For ages, it has been true that capable people rise to the top. If you’re afraid of gossip, then don’t do anything. Just rest assured, I will unconditionally support your work." His words hinted that Pan Junfeng was eager to find someone capable.

Xu Chunliang could see that he had encountered a real problem; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to him. Xu Chunliang would not be moved by his sincerity. No matter what, Pan Junfeng just wanted to use him.

Xu Chunliang said, "Dean Pan, your sincerity moves me, but still, it’s not possible."

Despite Pan Junfeng’s lengthy persuasion, he was unable to get Xu Chunliang to agree. Frustrated, he said, "How come it’s still not possible? What do you want? Tell me."

Xu Chunliang said, "I don’t have any demands. I recently applied for the position of the Communist Youth League secretary, and I’d like to settle this matter first."

Pan Junfeng understood clearly; this guy blatantly wanted him to help him get the position of the Communist Youth League secretary. In fact, in the hospital, this position holds no real power and is mostly symbolic. However, it was Sun Weimin who had the final say. It was well known that Xu Chunliang was under Yan Huaiyi. In the hospital, Sun Weimin was the one opposing Yan Huaiyi, so asking him to promote someone under Yan Huaiyi was forcing him.

Xu Chunliang was deliberately posing a dilemma for Pan Junfeng. You want me to help you, so you have to show some sincerity.

After deliberating, Pan Junfeng finally said, "I think there shouldn’t be much of a problem with that."

Xu Chunliang smiled and raised his glass, "With your words, I feel assured."

Pan Junfeng increasingly realized that this young man was exceptional; as the saying goes, there’s no false reputation under great fame. He had only been at the Infectious Disease Hospital for a few days, yet he smoothly took control of the office and intended to pocket the Communist Youth League secretary position too.

His many candid suggestions to him were actually purposeful. He aimed to achieve his desires through him.

Pan Junfeng finished his drink and said, "Xiaoxu, now is the best time for our hospital to grow and thrive. If we miss this chance, we might never have another."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "We have plenty of time. Once Dean Yan steps down, the Infectious Disease Hospital will definitely be under your control. Given your current age, serving two terms shouldn’t be a problem." In other words, why rush? Are you worried you won’t become the top leader?

Pan Junfeng said, "I don’t desire power much. I just want to do some practical things for the hospital."

Xu Chunliang nodded, "I like doing practical work too. It seems we have many similarities."

Pan Junfeng was indeed efficient. The day after his candid talk over drinks with Xu Chunliang, he went to find Secretary Sun Weimin.

Sun Weimin was shocked when he heard that Pan Junfeng wanted to give the Communist Youth League secretary position to Xu Chunliang. For a moment, he thought he misheard, or maybe Pan Junfeng was confused. Knowing the new hospital’s ground issue was troubling him, maybe it was because of this matter. Sun Weimin said, "Xiaopan, are you under too much pressure at work lately? Do you know what you’re doing?"

Pan Junfeng anticipated this reaction and smiled, "Of course I know, Secretary Sun. You’ve seen Xu Chunliang’s performance since he joined. I personally think he’s quite suitable for this position."

Sun Weimin thought, your reach is extensive, but since he and Pan Junfeng currently shared a silent alliance, he had to consider the other’s face, "Xiaopan, Xu Chunliang is neither a party member nor does he have any experience in this area. He’s only been at our hospital for a few days! Among those competing, he has the lowest composite score."

Pan Junfeng knew if he didn’t offer something tangible, Sun Weimin wouldn’t easily agree. So he explained the difficulties they faced with the new hospital ground. The challenges with the new hospital weren’t just his; they were a shared problem for the leadership.
