Chapter 326: A drop of water is returned with a spring of water. The big guys have changed their careers to flattering
"Xiao Wu, I heard that you are a classmate of Dr. Li Quan who rescued the asthma patient today?" the dean asked in a gentle tone.
"Well, Li Quan and I were classmates in junior high school!" Wu Ziming's expression was a little unnatural when he mentioned Li Quan's name.
Because now he has a psychological trauma towards Li Quan.
"Then do you know Dr. Li Quan's phone number and home address?" The dean's smile became more friendly.
"Uh... I don't know his phone number, but if he hasn't moved, I know where he lives." Wu Ziming was a little embarrassed.
No matter how stupid he was, he understood why the dean was so kind to him.
It turned out that he had just become the "clue" for the dean to find Li Quan.
If it was something else, he would be very happy if he could be of use to the dean.
At this moment, he felt as if he had eaten a dead fly and felt very uncomfortable.
In the past, he thought he could at least compete with Li Quan, but now, he has become Li Quan's foil, and a minor foil at that.
"You don't even know his phone number? You don't have much contact with Li Quan?" The gentle smile on the dean's face faded a lot.
People are so realistic.
If Wu Ziming is of no use, the dean will definitely not be so enthusiastic about him anymore.
"Well, there is no connection." Wu Ziming had an embarrassing thought in his mind at this moment. It would be great if he could be friends with Li Quan.
You will immediately become a celebrity in front of the dean.
Unfortunately, he and Li Quan have always been enemies.
"Xiao Wu, how about this? You get ready and you will lead the way. Take us to Li Quan's house." The dean ordered.
“Okay, no problem!”
Wu Ziming nodded in agreement.
"By the way, do you know what Li Quan likes? For example, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, real estate, etc." the dean asked again.
"Ah...you want to give him a house?" Wu Ziming's eyes widened in shock. For ordinary people, buying a property may require most of their life's hard work.
The dean asked him to lead the way to find Li Quan and also asked about Li Quan's preferences. It was obvious that he was preparing to give him a generous gift.
How valuable is Li Quan to the extent that the hospital gave him a house?
At this moment, Wu Ziming was really jealous.
He thought that if he had half of Li Quan's ability, his status in the People's Hospital would probably be higher than that of the chief physician.
We are all the same age and are all in college, so why is there such a big gap?
"Does Li Quan like the house?" The dean did not answer Wu Ziming's stupid question.
"That... I don't know. But his family was very poor back then. From what I saw from his clothes today, he doesn't look like a rich man. I think a property in the city must be very tempting to him."
Wu Ziming could only guess.
At least he himself is very eager to have a house in the city.
"Okay, go and get ready!" The dean nodded and waved his hand to let Wu Ziming leave.
Giving a property to Li Quan is not a trivial matter and requires discussion with several senior executives of the hospital.
…
Li Quan took the van of his old classmate Zhang Daniu and went directly back to the Dingxiang Group.
Li Tiezhu and his wife were very worried when they saw their son went to the town to get money and didn't come back for several hours.
As I was standing at the door and looking around, I saw a van suddenly stop at the door.
Their son got out of the car.
"Dad, Mom, let me introduce you. This is my junior high school classmate Zhang Daniu. He is now engaged in the construction business." Li Quan introduced him to his parents with a smile.
"I know him. He built the small Western-style house of Hong Hai's family in our village. After seeing it, the villagers said that the house is not only beautiful and exquisite, but also has the same supporting facilities as those in the city. I heard that there is even a bathroom built in the bedroom... Now, people who want to ask him to build a house have to queue up."
"Your classmate is very famous."
When Li Tiezhu saw Zhang Daniu, he recognized him at first sight.
Among the Dingxiang Group, the Hong Hai family is the richest. They are the first family member to open a restaurant in the city.
Now, Hong Hai’s house is the most imposing one in the village.
"Haha, uncle, you're praising me so much that I feel embarrassed! You see, this is my first time here, and I didn't buy anything. I'll give you two hundred yuan to buy some fruit for you and aunt."
Because of Li Quan's relationship, Zhang Daniu was very polite to Li Tiezhu and his wife.
"Oh, Boss Zhang, I can't have this, I can't have this!" Li Tiezhu hastily rejected it. However, his inner vanity was greatly satisfied.
Boss Zhang is a local celebrity, but people always call him "Uncle" and give him gifts when they meet.
This is all for my son's sake.
"Daniu, don't stuff it in. I appreciate your kindness. I know my parents' personalities. If you really want to stuff it in, I can push it with you all day long." Li Quan advised with a smile.
"Okay then! Next time I come over, I'll bring some things from home to my uncle and aunt." Zhang Daniu didn't force the gift on them.
"Dad, Mom, haven't you two always envied Hong Hai's small Western-style house? Today, my son invited an expert. I plan to demolish our old house and build a big villa."
Li Quan said with a smile.
"What?"
Li Tiezhu was so shocked that his eyes widened.
"You kid, do you know how much it costs to build a villa?"
Not to mention building a villa, even building a small Western-style building with a much lower cost is something the old couple dare not imagine.
They were very satisfied that their son had earned enough money to build a flat brick house in his hometown.
"Don't worry about money, you two. From now on, you and mom can just enjoy a peaceful life." Li Quan said with a smile.
After saying that, he turned and looked at Zhang Daniu.
"Daniu, this is my homestead, all the way to the end of the vegetable field next to it. We'll use all the land we can. How much does it cost to build a three-story villa?"
Li Quan introduced .
"Just help me take a look and tell me the total cost later. I have to go to my fifth uncle's house first and pay him back."
Li Quan warned.
"Okay, let me take a look first." Zhang Daniu has already started the on-site inspection.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to go to my fifth uncle's house first. Please help me entertain my old classmates." Li Quan's schedule is very tight as he has to go back to Shanghai to work tomorrow.
He had to hurry and do what needed to be done.
"Gou Wa'er, your fifth uncle has guests coming to his house. Why don't you go there tomorrow?"
"It's okay, Dad!"
How could Li Quan wait until tomorrow?
My fifth uncle lives at the end of the village.
It's next to my second uncle's house.
Li Quan's grandfather had five children in total, three boys and two girls.
Although Li Tiezhu is the eldest, his family is poor, so he rarely contacts his second uncle, third aunt, and fourth aunt. They only visit each other during festivals.
Especially after the passing of grandparents, the friendship between brothers and sisters became even more dull.
Only Uncle Five often interacts with the eldest brother Li Tiezhu.
Li Quan was ignorant when he was a child, but he realized when he grew up that his second uncle, third aunt and fourth aunt avoided his family because they were afraid that his eldest brother would ask to borrow money.
Because Li Quan is studying in university, it costs at least more than 20,000 yuan every year.
My parents couldn't afford it with just a few acres of thin land.
There is no other choice but to shamelessly ask someone to borrow it.
Even their brothers and sisters avoided them. It is conceivable that other people would dislike Li Quan's family even more.
Soon, Li Quan arrived at the end of the village.
The flat brick house of my fifth uncle can already be seen.
I saw a silver Volkswagen parked outside my fifth uncle's yard.
Li Quan was secretly wondering, it seems that his second uncle's family doesn't have any rich friends. He just heard that his fifth uncle's son, Li Qiugui, was doing a small business in the county town.
Li Qiugui is five years older than Li Quan and is now 28 years old.
He never got married.
This also became a concern for Uncle Wu's family.
The flat brick house with tiled exterior walls next to Uncle Five's house belongs to Uncle Two Li Quan.
However, his second uncle was a very snobbish and stingy person, so Li Quan didn't like to go there very much.
Because there were guests at my fifth uncle's house, the gate was not closed.
Li Quan walked straight in.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw eight or nine people sitting in the yard.
It seems very lively.
Li Quan looked around and found that his fifth uncle and his wife, his son Li Qiugui, and even his second uncle and his wife were all there. However, Li Quan didn't recognize any of the other four people.
A young woman in her mid-twenties and a middle-aged couple, who should be the young woman's parents.
There was also a middle-aged woman with a festive smile on her face, heavily made-up, dressed like a matchmaker.
Judging from the situation, he should be matchmaking for Li Qiugui, the son of my fifth uncle.
"Oh, Li Quan is here!" When the fifth uncle saw Li Quan walking into the yard, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Aunt Wu also stood up to greet her.
Their family has always been very enthusiastic about Li Quan.
"Hello, Uncle Five and Aunt Five!" Li Quan knew the warmth and coldness of human nature, so he greeted them with a polite smile.
"Okay, okay, come, sit down and have some tea and snacks."
Uncle Wu smiled and moved a chair to Li Quan.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt!" Li Quan looked at his Uncle and Aunt.
"Um!"
My second uncle snorted and ignored me.
"Why are you bothering with him? He must be here to borrow money from us again." Second Aunt was even more mean, with a stern face, as if someone owed her millions.
Li Quan smiled faintly and greeted him , which was a courtesy for a younger generation.
As for borrowing money, he would never ask his second uncle's family for help even if he starved to death on the streets.
At the beginning, Li Tiezhu took Li Quan to his second uncle's house to borrow money. They were almost kneeling down when his second aunt chased them out with a broom.
Memories are like water dripping into the palm of your hand; that momentary coolness is enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
"Brother Gui!"
Li Quan didn't even look at his second uncle and second aunt, but greeted Li Qiugui with a smile.
"I heard that you became a doctor in Shanghai. That's great! You are the most promising one in our Li family." Li Qiugui praised Li Quan with a smile.
"I have no future at all. I can only make a living." After Li Quan sat down, Aunt Wu brought him some freshly brewed hot tea.
"Gouwaer, have some tea! I haven't seen you for more than a year. You've grown a lot more handsome!" Aunt Wu praised with a smile.
Li Quan was busy with work last year and did not go home for the New Year.
"Aunt Wu, Uncle Wu, I came here today to pay you back. When I was in college, my parents went everywhere to borrow money, but they were rejected everywhere. Only you helped. In fact, I know that you took out tens of thousands of dollars back then, and you did it with gritted teeth. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
Li Quan has guests at home, so he naturally can't sit here for long.
After he took the tea, he stated his purpose straight away.
"You've just been working for a year. I heard from your father that you're still in internship and haven't received any salary. We're not in a hurry for money." Uncle Five is the head of the family and he spoke up immediately.
"Old Five, are you stupid? The matchmaker here has brought the girl and her parents to discuss the marriage. Aren't you still short of tens of thousands? If he pays you back, it will be enough to make up the betrothal gift."
Second uncle interrupted.
"Oh, Brother Gui is getting married! What a great thing." Li Quan was also happy for Li Qiugui after hearing this. "Uncle Wu, I just got a permanent job a while ago and now I have a salary. Then, I helped a pharmaceutical company develop a drug and got a bonus. Now your family is in urgent need of money, and I need this money at the right time."
Li Quan said this and took the money out of the bag directly.
When the second uncle and second aunt saw the bundles of hundred-dollar bills in Li Quan's hand, their eyes widened.
"My dad said that he still owes your family 32,000 yuan, is that right?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes, that's right."
Uncle Wu nodded repeatedly.
"Here are 40,000 yuan, of which 8,000 yuan is the interest I pay you. The other 10,000 yuan is a gift to Brother Gui in advance for his wedding. I will be busy with work and may not be able to come back to attend Brother Gui's wedding, so I'm giving it to him in advance."
Li Quan took 50,000 yuan, and the extra 10,000 yuan was originally intended to be left for his parents.
Now that he knew his fifth uncle's son was getting married, he gave him a very generous gift out of gratitude.
"Oh, I can't do that. I can't do that. It's not easy for you to earn money. I don't want a penny of the extra money. Take it back and save it for getting married." Uncle Wu refused to ask for more.
My second uncle and second aunt were jealous.
This guy is really generous. He actually gave an extra 8,000 yuan in interest.
Eight thousand yuan is almost his family’s income for a year.
If I had known that Gouwazi was so capable and generous, I should have lent some money to his family.
"Uncle Wu, you must accept this money. Consider it my way of repaying your kindness." Li Quan stuffed fifty thousand yuan into Uncle Wu's hand. "I have guests to entertain at home, so I won't stay here any longer today. Brother Gui, and my future sister-in-law, I congratulate you in advance."
Li Quan bowed and congratulated Li Qiugui and the young woman.
"Don't be in a hurry to recognize you as your sister-in-law. My family hasn't agreed yet." The girl's mother said a little unhappily.
Apparently the two sides haven't reached an agreement on the bride price.
"Aunt, you can rest assured and marry your daughter to my brother Gui. He and I grew up together. My brother Gui is honest, hardworking, kind, and considerate to others. Your daughter will definitely live a happy and sweet life with him."
Li Quan smiled and spoke well of Li Qiugui.
"What's the point of being honest these days? You have to be capable and make money to live a good life. My daughter is a nurse in the hospital. If her family can't afford the bride price, there are many people lining up to marry her."
The girl's mother curled her lips.
Just then, the sound of a car engine was heard outside.
The girl's father thought someone had stolen the car, so he quickly stood up and looked outside.
The others also looked outside the yard.
I saw a black Audi car suddenly stop outside the yard.
Here comes another guest.
The car door opened, and several men and women with extraordinary aura walked out of the car.
The person leading the way was a young man wearing glasses.
"Dean, Dean..." The young woman who was on a blind date stood up nervously and surprised when she saw several people getting out of the car.
"Daughter, do you know the person who is coming?" the girl's mother asked in a low voice.
"Mom, the three people at the back are all leaders of our hospital. The one in the middle is the dean of our hospital." The young woman stood up, as respectful as a primary school student meeting her teacher.
"Why did your dean bring people here? Have you made some serious mistake?" The girl's father noticed something was wrong.
"No, and I'm on leave today, so I didn't violate any of the hospital's rules and regulations."
The young woman became even more nervous.
The big shots outside glanced into the courtyard, then walked in with a smile.
The young woman hurried forward to greet him with a smile.
"Dean, Dean Cheng, Director Jing, hello!"
"Um!"
The dean and others just nodded indifferently.
Their eyes turned to Li Quan who was sitting there.
"Doctor Li Quan, we heard that you returned to your hometown, so we came to visit you. Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. I am Zhou Wang, the director of Mawang County People's Hospital."
Dean Zhou smiled humbly and extended his hand to Li Quan.
"Hello!"
Li Quan shook hands with the other party politely.
"I'm Cheng Zifang, the vice president of the County People's Hospital. I've long heard of Doctor Li."
The square-headed and big-eared vice president also smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Li Quan.
"Hello!"
Li Quan was a little puzzled. The director and deputy director of the county people's hospital had all come and specially came to see him. What were they planning to do?
"Hello, Doctor Li. I'm Jing Xiaoli, the director of the County People's Hospital. Hearing about it is worse than meeting it in person. In my imagination, Doctor Li was so young that he could become a well-known figure in the Huier Hospital in Shanghai, and even a rising star in the province's medical field. He must be as shining as a star, but I didn't expect him to be so simple and unpretentious."
Jing Xiaoli, director of the hospital office , is an excellent speaker.
As soon as he came up, he started praising Li Quan.
Li Quan was a little confused.
What do these bigwigs at the county people’s hospital want to do?
"Director Jing, thank you for your praise!" He had to respond carefully.
The young female nurse who was on the blind date opened her mouth in shock and looked at Li Quan, who had just been ignored by her, in shock.
She didn't expect that this young man had such a powerful background.
The most exaggerated expressions belonged to Li Quan's second uncle and second aunt. These two snobs looked at this scene in great shock. They didn't expect that the little boy they always looked down upon would have such a great future.
Considering how Li Quan had just easily paid off a debt of tens of thousands of yuan, he was even more generous by giving 8,000 yuan in interest to Lao Wu, and also gave Li Qiugui an extra red envelope of 10,000 yuan as a wedding gift.
This little dog is so terrible, I’m afraid he’s going to fly to heaven.
You have to find a way to lick him and get along well with him.
Now even the director of the county people's hospital and others have personally come to the countryside to curry favor with this little bastard. If they have a good relationship with this little bastard, then if their children want to find a job in the city in the future, wouldn't it be a matter of just a word?
