Hearing that this was the question, Li Chu immediately felt relieved. Looking at the serious expressions of the two people, Li Chu had been a little worried earlier.
Li Chu looked at them and said, "You've seen my file, so you should know that I have a mentor. My mentor used to be in the health care team of our department."
The two of them nodded at the same time.
"This money was left to me by my master, and it's also what my master earned when he took me out to practice medicine." The country allows people to earn money with their skills, so this is not against the law.
The two middle-aged men were somewhat surprised by Li Chu's explanation. They had considered many possibilities beforehand, but none of them had expected this answer. They exchanged glances, and Officer Xu asked, "Comrade Li Chu, this is quite important. Do you have any evidence?"
“I have witnesses. When my master gave me the money, Dean Chen of our medical school and Deputy Director Lin of the health care group were both present.”
Officer Li wrote down the two names on the paper; this will need to be verified later.
Officer Xu then asked, "How much money did your master give you in total back then?"
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's about four thousand yuan, but I've forgotten the exact amount."
This number was also written down.
"Were your two bicycles, two watches, and sewing machine all bought with this money?"
"My bicycle and watch were gifts from my brother-in-law; they were his used ones, and the rest I bought."
"How much money do you have left?" the man surnamed Li asked immediately.
"Uh, there are still more than four thousand yuan left."
"How come there's still so much?" Upon hearing the amount of money Li Chu mentioned, the two of them immediately perked up.
"The remaining money includes what my parents left behind, their wages and pensions. Comrades, these should all be in my files." Li Chu felt that their work was far too sloppy.
"Comrade Li Chu, we don't have the right to arbitrarily look through your file. We must clarify all the issues that need to be verified; this is also our job responsibility." Officer Xu noticed that Li Chu was a bit agitated and explained this to him.
Xu's explanation quickly dispelled Li Chu's dissatisfaction, and because he could also explain the source of the money, the subsequent conversation proceeded very smoothly.
As they were talking, there was a knock at the door. Li Chu thought to himself that it must be Xu Damao and his wife coming over.
"Gentlemen, this should be one of my patients who made an appointment. I'll ask them to wait a moment." After saying that, Li Chu walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were standing at the door.
"Brother Chu!" the couple called out simultaneously.
"I'm so sorry, Damao and Xiao'e, there are still some things I need to do in my office. You two will have to wait a little while. I'll finish my work here quickly." Li Chu apologized first, feeling really bad for making people rush over in this hot weather and then wait outside.
"It's alright, it's alright, you go ahead and do your thing, Brother Chu. It's my business that's causing you trouble." Xu Damao was quite good at talking.
"Okay, let me take you to the next examination room first, it's too hot outside."
"No need, no need. We'll sit in the registration hall over there. You can call us when you're done."
"That's fine, I'll do it as soon as possible. Xiao'e, I'm so sorry."
"It's alright, Brother Chu, you go ahead with your work. Da Mao and I will go wait over there." Lou Xiao'e felt a little embarrassed by Li Chu's politeness.
Watching the two of them walk towards the registration hall, Li Chu returned to the room and closed the door.
After he sat down, the conversation resumed.
The conversation proceeded more quickly this time, and afterwards they needed to speak with hospital leaders and some colleagues to learn more about Li Chu.
The conversation went smoothly, and as everyone stood up to leave, Officer Xu casually asked, "Comrade Li Chu, I'm curious, you already own a house, how did you buy a second one, and what were the procedures?"
Li Chu looked at him seriously and said, "Officer Xu, the house I live in now is still under my parents' names and has not been transferred to my name. I don't own a house, which is why I can buy one."
Officer Xu nodded. He hadn't thought of that. It could be considered exploiting a loophole, but it wasn't against the rules.
"Also, I was used to living in a separate cave dwelling in Nanniwan when I was a child. Now that I live in a large compound, there are too many people and I'm not used to it, so I bought a separate courtyard."
Damn it, the man surnamed Xu's lips twitched violently. He was so stupid to ask that question. Now he'd blown up Nanniwan.
Xu, the clerk, gave Li Chu an awkward yet polite smile, then said goodbye to his colleagues and left.
Li Chu saw them to the door, watched them walk into Director Liang's office, and then went back to his own office without paying any attention.
Closing the door and leaning against it, Li Chu's face quickly darkened. Damn it, is this a conversation or an interrogation? Luckily, all the money he spent was properly sourced, otherwise he really wouldn't have gotten through this.
This is what Li Chu didn't understand. The current conversation is a form of investigation. Only after a thorough investigation can a decision be made on whether you can join the organization, so that no one with problems can be allowed in.
After composing himself, he saw that Xu Damao and his wife had already arrived. Since he was now his patient, he decided to attend to him first. He washed his face with water from a basin, then went to the registration hall and called the couple over.
After the couple sat down, Li Chu glanced at Xu Damao.
Xu Damao knew what Li Chu meant by looking at him and shook his head. Lou Xiao'e, already anxious, became even more so when she saw the two of them playing coy. She asked directly, "Brother Chu, what's going on? I asked Damao but he won't tell me. It's driving me crazy!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chu thought, "Screw it, you won't tell me your own business, I'll just leave it at that." He cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, Xiao'e, Da Mao has some health problems. He needs to tell you some things, so he asked you to come over."
Lou Xiao'e's face turned pale after hearing Li Chu's words. Although they hadn't been married long, Xu Damao was still her man. She stammered, "Chu... Brother Chu, Damao... Damao, what's wrong with his... his health?"
Li Chu knew Lou Xiao'e had misunderstood, so he shook his head and said, "It's not what you think. He just can't have children right now."
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Xu Damao in surprise, while Xu Damao lowered his head, not daring to look at his wife.
He then turned to Li Chu and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Chu? Da Mao is perfectly healthy."
Li Chu gave her a strange look: "Is he healthy? Didn't you know he took medicine a few days ago?"
Lou Xiao'e's pale face flushed red again. Of course she knew that Xu Damao had taken medicine a few days ago, and she also knew why he had taken medicine, but it was too embarrassing to be told by others. She lowered her head and didn't know what to say.
loubiqu.
"I have something to do later, so I'll keep it short. Although Da Mao can't have children right now, it's not an incurable disease. It can be treated, it just will take a little longer."
Hearing this, Xu Damao also raised his head and asked nervously, "Brother Chu, how long will it take to treat me?"
Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Chu with equal nervousness.
Li Chu thought for a moment and replied, "It will probably take six months to a year."
Upon hearing this time, the couple breathed a sigh of relief; a year was not a long time.
"Da Mao, go to the pharmacy to get the medicine I just prescribed. Drink it for a month, remember the dates, and come find me when it's time. Both of you remember, during the treatment period, you can't have sex more than twice a week. Remember, it's no more than twice a week." Li Chu earnestly instructed.
Lou Xiao'e blushed and lowered her head again, while Xu Damao nodded hurriedly in agreement.
Li Chu gave the couple some other instructions and then sent them away.
Even as she left, the blush on Lou Xiao'e's face didn't fade. She was too embarrassed to look at Li Chu and didn't even say goodbye.
Back in his office, Li Chu closed the door again, sat down in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to reflect on himself.
