There weren't many people in the library, and they were talking loudly. A young woman wearing glasses quickly came over and said to Zheng Huiyun, "Chief Zheng, these two comrades were brought here by Secretary Liu. They were specifically requested by Elder D to meet them. Elder D is busy right now, so please arrange for them to come to the library to rest first."
"knew."
Zheng Huiyun looked unhappy, glared at Gong Linglong, and turned to leave.
"What are you staring at?"
Gong Linglong was not used to her bad habits. Her eyes were even bigger than hers, and her attitude was very rude: "Bigger than my eyes? I am not inferior to you."
Zheng Huiyun hadn't encountered such a troublemaker in a long time. She was so angry that her face turned red and her neck thickened. She scolded her gloomily, "You lack manners."
"The first time we met, you were unreasonable and bullying. The second time, you acted like an official and bullied me. Is this how you were brought up?"
This time it was Gong Wantang who spoke. She usually spoke softly and gently, but at this moment her tone was exceptionally cold and harsh.
Zheng Huiyun's face froze. The last time she saw this woman in the disaster area, she was covered in dust and dirt. Today, she was dressed simply but neatly. She exuded an elegant and calm temperament. At first glance, she was sure that her background was definitely not ordinary.
"Your last name seems to be Zheng, right? Tell me your family address. I'll go talk to your parents about your upbringing."
The fact that Gong Wantang didn't confront her in the disaster area last time doesn't mean that she is honest and weak and allows herself to be bullied. At that time, she was busy making medicine to save people and was too lazy to waste time talking nonsense with her. But today is different. She will never allow outsiders to bully her daughter.
Zheng Huiyun saw that everyone was looking at her with complicated eyes. She felt depressed, but she couldn't argue with them, so she turned around and left with a gloomy face.
After she left, Gong Wantang immediately apologized to the others, his tone and attitude softening. "Comrades, I'm sorry to interrupt your reading."
"No problem."
Everyone smiled politely.
Those who can come here all have status and are well-educated. They are not as confused and stupid as Zheng Huiyun.
The library returned to silence, and the mother and daughter of the Gong family sat down to read again.
About two hours later, Secretary Liu came over and said, "Comrades, Mr. D wants to see you in his office."
"OK."
The mother and daughter immediately put the books back in their place and followed him.
When she reached the stairs, she happened to see Zhou Lanqin hurrying down the stairs. Gong Linglong smiled and called out, "Mom."
"Hey, Linglong."
Zhou Lanqin smiled and spoke to Gong Wantang, "Mother-in-law, I just heard from Elder D that you two wanted to discuss the prescription. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be going first. We can discuss other matters when we meet tonight."
After saying that, he gave the mother and daughter a subtle look.
The mother and daughter of the Gong family both received the signal and were delighted. Gong Wantang smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, official business is more important. You go and do your work first."
After watching Zhou Lanqin leave, Secretary Liu looked at Gong Linglong and asked uncertainly, "Comrade Gong, you just called Deputy Director Zhou 'Mom'. Are you Lu Jingchuan's lover?"
"Yes." Gong Linglong nodded with a smile.
Secretary Liu smiled and said to her, "So it's my sister-in-law. Nice to meet you."
"Huh? Secretary Liu knows my husband?" Gong Linglong slowly followed him.
"Jingchuan and I were high school classmates. After graduating from high school, we chose different paths. The last time I saw him was four years ago."
Secretary Liu smiled and said, "I heard that he got married at the beginning of the year. The wedding was held in the army. I didn't expect that his sister-in-law would be the most beautiful military wife published in the newspaper."
"I'm just an ordinary military wife and don't deserve such praise." Gong Linglong smiled faintly.
When they reached the office door, Secretary Liu knocked on it, and a strong voice came from inside: "Come in."
They came to Mr. D's office. At this time, the kind and friendly Mr. D was sitting on the sofa, and Mr. Han was sitting next to him. The two old leaders were tasting tea.
After entering the office, the mother and daughter first went up to greet their leader: "Hello, Mr. D."
"sit."
Old D had a kind smile on his face and spoke in a friendly and easygoing manner: "Han Ji called me and didn't tell me that it was you who made such a great contribution in the disaster area. I only found out when Old Han came over just now."
"D, I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in school, but due to personal reasons, I've never been able to use what I learned to give back to society. This earthquake struck suddenly, and the people in the disaster area were seriously injured. I felt so sad, so I tried to use what I learned to alleviate their pain as much as possible, which is my small contribution to society."
Elder D listened carefully to her and praised her with satisfaction: "Being humble and indifferent to others, these noble qualities ingrained in the Gong family have been passed down in you."
"Thank you, Mr. D, for the compliment." Gong Wantang expressed his gratitude.
Secretary Liu brought hot tea to the mother and daughter. Elder D raised his hand to signal them to drink, then smiled at Gong Linglong, "That brat Jingchuan has a discerning eye. He immediately fell in love with a member of the Gong family. No wonder Old Zhou and Old Lu brag about their grandson's wife every day even though they haven't even met her."
The big boss was kind and amiable, and Gong Linglong wasn't nervous in his presence. She jokingly replied, "Mr. D, I went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up in front of him. A beautiful woman like me offered herself to him. Wouldn't he be foolish not to take advantage of this heaven-sent fate?"
"Ha ha..."
Mr. D was amused by her, and Mr. Han also smiled.
Secretary Liu, who had just put down his teacup, also smiled, but did not say anything and walked away with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Mr. D took the initiative to bring up the matter of the prescription. Gong Wantang had already made preparations and handed him the prescription she had personally prepared, along with a detailed method for processing the herbs.
Both leaders were laymen, but she wrote very carefully and they could understand it. Mr. D praised her a few more times.
"Wantang, Director Han J told me on the phone earlier that you need my help. Whatever you need, just tell me."
Gong Wantang originally planned to make preparations for both scenarios regarding Xue Haihui's matter, but now that his end has come, there is no need to ask for help.
So, she changed her mind temporarily, "Mr. D, there was a fire in our house that year, and everything in the house was burned to ashes. Although I was lucky enough to escape, my parents and brothers..."
Speaking of this, she looked sad and depressed. "Back then, no one took over the Gong family's business. I don't know whether it was later occupied by someone else or nationalized."
"If it becomes state-owned, I am willing to hand it over to the state and will not ask for it back."
"If some people have seized these properties and made them their own, I want to claim them back and reorganize them. I'd like to ask Mr. D for help in this matter."
