Gu Beiwang even smiled at the tea stall owner, a rare occurrence for him: "Yes."
"Alright, you two chat. I'll have someone bring you a teapot. You can pour your own water later. We won't disturb you any longer."
This boss is really shrewd; he could tell at a glance that these two had something to discuss.
............
Soon, the boss sent over a thermos filled with boiling water as a gift.
Gao Dan remained silent, occasionally taking a sip of tea, while Gu Beiwang did the same, drinking his tea without saying a word.
After a few minutes, Gao Dan put down his teacup and asked directly, "Do you know anything about the old man's health?"
Old man?
Commander Gu frowned slightly. He was about to drink tea, but suddenly changed the direction of the teacup and placed it on the table: "The medical examination report from three months ago is currently in my office drawer, and the previous medical examination reports are all kept in my study."
Don't know?
Of course not. As the son, Commander Gu is extremely concerned about every physical examination his father undergoes. As soon as the examination report comes out, he sends it directly from the hospital to his hands.
Hearing this, he swallowed back all the questions he had prepared: "Then let the old man have a full check-up, and I will personally participate!"
Commander Gu's two sword-like eyebrows were almost furrowed into a line: "What's wrong with the old man's health? What did you find out?" But he has a physical examination every three months, and the results are not very serious. It's just high blood pressure, which is common in the elderly. His blood lipids and blood sugar are all normal, so the old man's health is quite good.
However, the eldest son's words clearly did not mean that.
What tests were included in the old man's previous physical examinations?
Commander Gu naturally knew this and recited it directly: "Height, weight, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, routine blood test, blood sugar and blood lipids, and X-ray examination."
Last night, Gao Dan was given a thorough explanation of the routine medical check-up items by his young wife, and it was clear that the old man hadn't had the most important items checked.
"No liver function tests or kidney function tests?" I asked.
Upon hearing this, Gu Beiwang shook his head: "No, is there a problem?"
"Let's call the military hospital and ask if they offer these two tests." If they don't, there's no point in talking to them.
Gu Beiwang felt uneasy after what his eldest son said, but he still waved to the guards not far away. As a division commander, he was naturally equipped with a satellite phone, which could be used to communicate directly with the military hospital.
The call was answered quickly...
"Dean Hu, I have a question for you. Does your hospital offer any liver and kidney function tests during physical examinations?"
"Liver and kidney function tests are currently being conducted separately because it's still in the experimental stage, so they're not included in the physical examination. Commander Gu, is there a problem?"
"Then I would like to trouble Dean Hu to arrange a time so that I can bring my father to have these two projects checked."
"Okay, it might take a day or two. The lab's doctors went to a meeting in H province."
"Okay, thank you very much, Dean Hu."
.............
After the phone call ended, the father and son fell silent again. It wasn't until they finished their cup of tea that Commander Gu slowly said, "I will let you know in advance once Dean Hu has arranged the time."
Gao Dan nodded, then stood up and said, "That's settled then." With that, he left.
Having tea with someone you've disliked since childhood—it's amazing how strong Commander Gao's patience is!
