The visits from colleagues in the infectious disease department were more like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken.
Ren Yuanfei started cursing loudly as he entered the room, "I've disliked Lou Jianling for a long time. Chen Xia, you are definitely a meritorious official. Don't worry, the master will help you argue at the next meeting of the hospital."
Zhang Li, Head Nurse Ding and other female comrades went into the kitchen early to see if there were any delicious dishes. They had already decided to have dinner at Chen Xia's place.
Ever since Chen Xia went to the General Affairs Department, he rarely had time to return to the Infectious Diseases Department, which caused the income of all the members of the Infectious Diseases Department to plummet.
It would be more accurate to say that they came to eat and drink for free rather than to express their condolences.
Seeing the expectant eyes of his former colleagues, Chen Xia was speechless.
"Hey everyone, how can you be so ashamed? My salary for the past three months has been deducted. Now I'm so poor that I'm almost begging for food, and you actually want me to treat you? Where is justice? Where is fairness?"
Ren Yuanfei kicked him on the butt and said, "Hurry up and buy some groceries. Stop talking nonsense. My words are fair."
Everyone around was laughing so hard that they couldn't stop.
As Chen Xia bickered with everyone, she felt like something was missing. Oh, and where was Gu Lin? Normally, this girl was the most active, so why was she so quiet today? This was unusual.
Finally, Chen Xia found her in his room. She was rummaging through the cabinets looking for snacks, and asked,
"Chen Lao Er, what's going on? I saw a box of chocolates in the cabinet last time. Did you eat them all? You have to compensate me, hum."
"Ms. Gu, this seems to be my chocolate, right?"
"Oh my, you are such a fool! You can't even tell yours from mine? Besides, how much money have I made for you? You actually turned your back on me. Are all men like this? Woo woo woo."
Chen Xia rushed over and covered her mouth.
"Come on, this is in my room, we're alone. How can you look sobbing? Someone who doesn't know me would think I'm bullying you. I have chocolate, I have chocolate, please stop making noise."
Gu Lin got even angrier when she heard that and bit his arm. "You hid the chocolate and didn't give it to me. You've changed your heart. You've become evil."
Chen Xia was bitten so hard that she jumped up and down, then she threw him away, hugged Gu Lin and forced her to sit on her legs, and slapped her hard on the butt.
"Fuck, are you born in the year of the dog? Will you bite people in the future? Will you bite people in the future?"
He spanked and scolded her at the same time, just like a father disciplining his daughter.
The reason why Gu Lin is called Miss Gu is because she will never give in easily. She was accidentally attacked just now, and now she is being held down and spanked. Her uncle can tolerate it, but her aunt cannot.
She immediately jumped up, pounced on Chen Xia like a tiger, and pushed him down on the bed. She then bit his shoulder, letting him know that girls from Northeast China are not so easy to mess with.
Now the actions of the two people became ambiguous. Gu Lin was on top and Chen Xia was on the bottom. From a distance, it looked like the two were hugging each other.
Just then, Head Nurse Ding came in and asked Chen Xia where she had put some ingredients. When she saw the two people's shocking expressions, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth and quickly left the room.
Chen Xia and Gu Lin were still fighting fiercely, and they had no idea that their posture was inappropriate. It was not until they heard a scream from Head Nurse Ding that the pair of martial arts masters realized something was wrong.
The two of them hugged each other face to face, looking at each other, and Gu Lin's face turned red, which was rare.
"You little brat, you want to compete with Mr. Chen in terms of thick skin? Don't even mention that you're a girl from Northeast China. Even if you're an Asian girl, it's useless."
He didn't suffer any loss, but instead made a lot of money. It was just a few bites. If there were more such opportunities in the future, he would be willing to do so even if he was bitten all over.
That night, Dean Gu, who was unaware that his daughter was almost accidentally injured by Chen Xia, appeared in the Plum Garden. He came to discuss future matters with Chen Xia.
Chen Xia's purpose was very clear. He only wanted to sell medicine and did not want to spend too much time seeing patients. He knew that once his clinic opened, all his rest days and time after get off work would be filled up with it.
Making money is of course important, but sacrificing his rest time is extremely inconsistent with the personality of a "salted fish".
If Dean Gu's son was his own, he would have slapped him long ago, but for the son of this old subordinate, who was very likely to be his future son-in-law, he had to suppress his anger and help him plan well.
In his eyes, isn't it right for people with hands and feet to do more work? Isn't it good to get rich through hard work? Laziness is the most despised behavior.
"Then we'll follow the leadership's instructions and hold off on setting up the factory until the policy becomes clearer. You can compromise first. I'll personally help you apply for a village health care center in Shitou Village, but we won't publicly list it. Then you can find a few more people to help you make the medicine, but the number of workers must not exceed seven. Do you understand?"
Chen Xia nodded quickly, "I heard it."
"Suspending you for three months is actually to allow you to prepare. Don't feel any psychological burden. Now that we are here, no one can touch you. As for your future path, it depends on you."
Chen Xia was a little touched. He had acted so willfully. If it weren't for the help of these elders, he would have been dismissed from his position as section chief and sent to work as a boiler operator.
"I know, I will definitely not let you down. When you are old, you can come to my house and eat meat every day, haha."
Chen Xia actually didn't care at all that he couldn't run a factory. This was just a test. If it didn't work, then it didn't work.
However, the boss said that he could open a private workshop, which was an unexpected surprise. This was enough for him to make a lot of money. Even though he was not as awesome as Nian Guangjiu, he became a millionaire in 1976.
Nian Guangjiu was able to set up a factory and recruit hundreds of workers, but Chen Xia knew that it would not be long before he was arrested and suffered a lot.
After he was released from prison, he experienced several bankruptcy crises, several wives fell out with him, brand disputes, and finally, even his eldest son died in unclear circumstances.
Nian Guangjiu is a pioneer of reform and is definitely a great figure, but his fate is a bumpy life. Chen Xia does not want to live such an exciting life.
Even if readers want to read exciting stories, he is unwilling to take the risk and would rather write a farming story, making money slowly and developing himself in a boring way.
