Chapter 510 Ruan Guozhong’s Past
After Jun Qingqing left, Ruan Guozhong, who was still in the office, did not stay there any longer, but immediately got up and walked towards the principal's office.
When Gu Qi saw the person coming, he was a little surprised, but this surprise was accompanied by some gestures that he had already gotten used to.
He put down what he was writing, stood up and walked to the coffee table, found a can of tea underneath, brewed some tea in a teacup and placed it in front of him.
After doing all this, he said naturally: "Don't worry, it's still the same tea as last time."
Ruan Guozhong didn't hesitate to open the lid, blew on it and took a small sip. There is no other way. The mouth is too big and it is too hot. It is a torture to be able to smell it in front of me but not drink it. This is the only way.
"Why don't you continue to stay in the lab? And you actually have time to come over to my place today?"
There is a reason why she complained like this.
During the school days, it was indeed rare for this former friend to come to her office without any warning.
However, the first few times, every time she came over, she would start with a three-minute greeting and drink a mug of tea, and then she would start crying and complaining in the middle.
It’s so difficult to do experiments now because many materials are not available.
It took a long time to select the topic, but many of the equipment were not in place.
Wait, wait, wait...
The result of not being able to stand him is that a lot of the school's resources and funds were taken away by the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
But the reason why Ruan Guozhong was able to accomplish this so many times was also because Gu Qi turned a blind eye.
The other party did take a lot of money, but part of it was also secretly subsidized by Gu Qi himself.
It is also clear that this person has already paid all the years' salary compensated by the state after returning home into the project out of his own pocket for the sake of research.
In order to prevent him from spending all his last bit of savings, he had to help find a solution. At He Yuanzhi's suggestion, he secretly provided subsidies.
However, once the experiment is successful and the project pays off, all the school funds invested and the money she took out will be returned in full, and the remaining money will be divided between him and his students.
The biggest difference between Gu Qi and her old friend Ruan Guozhong is that she has the entire He family behind her. Even if the project fails, it doesn't matter. After all, her sons and daughters are doing well in their own fields, and they give a lot of money to their parents every month, but most of the time they don't accept it.
In other words, the He family often gave money to the two elders, but now their children and grandchildren have to come up with various excuses to give it away.
If people outside heard that the lady of the He family actually said that positions like the Army Commander, the Mayor of Beijing, and the Editorial Director of the People's Daily were only considered to be good, I wonder how many people would wish they could have such a position, which is merely considered to be good.
In comparison, Ruan Guozhong is indeed not that good.
Because of that movement, he was the only one in the family who returned from the countryside. His wife and only son did not survive the bitter and cold years.
At the time, the son was indeed married, but the young couple had no children. As soon as something happened to the Ruan family, the daughter-in-law directly filed for a divorce and almost left their home overnight.
When he just came back, he actually thought about giving up his old business. To be precise, Ruan Guozhong has already demonstrated his ideas with practical actions.
Once people get stuck in a dead end, it is probably very difficult to get out of that dead end.
As a highly educated person, I am no exception.
He stubbornly believed that if he had not been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine back then, his family would not have been criticized, and would not have suffered the miserable experiences in the shed later on.
On a deeper level, his wife and children will not leave him alone.
Just when he was at his most depressed, he met the He couple who came to his home.
These two people were in the same circle as Ruan Guozhong in the early years, and they were all real friends.
However, when his family encountered trouble, the He family was also in turmoil.
When everything has settled, most people who should be sent away have left. In order to find out where the old friends with whom they had a good relationship had gone, apart from the other three families who were grouped together, they could only let the second son and the youngest daughter find out as much as possible without alerting the surveillance of the faction that was opposed to them.
One of the reasons why the He family, the Han family, the Bai family and the Jun family can be grouped together is that when they were reported, they were all in one group, which of course made it easier to operate.
Moreover, after much calculation, they found that their sons' generation all had close or distant in-law relationships, so the few relationships that could be used would definitely be used on their own family members first.
People from the opposing factions did not put too much pressure on these people to get together, probably because they thought it would be easier to monitor them if they were together.
Having said that, this time when he went to the Ruan family, He Yuanzhi's role was to accompany his old wife. He knew that after Ruan Guozhong returned to Beijing, he did not accept the country's decision to restore his original position. After accepting the compensation salary and getting back the house that was taken away that year, he rarely interacted with other people.
The reason given was that his health has not been as good as before over the years, and he just wanted to take good care of his body in the days ahead.
As for continuing to treat other people’s illnesses?
I can give a very affirmative answer. Because I accidentally injured my hand, my hand is now unstable and I can no longer take pulses or give acupuncture to other people.
On the one hand, Gu Qi came to enlighten her old friend, but on the other hand, she also had her own thoughts.
Since the other party said that he could no longer treat patients, and if he continued to stay at home doing nothing, he would sooner or later become completely decadent. It would be better for him to divert his energy to teaching students about Chinese medicine. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
After she started to express her thoughts, she was rejected by Ruan Guozhong as expected.
Later, He Yuanzhi gave his wife a soothing look, and the two old men went to the study and talked about something. About three hours later, the one who came out had changed his mind.
