"Elder Jiang..."
Wan Yunting knocked on the open office door and greeted Jiang Yichun, who was sitting with Li Chengde and the others inside.
"Oh, Yunting, come in quickly..."
Upon seeing Wan Yunting, Jiang Yichun excitedly stood up and pulled Wan Yunting to sit on the sofa in the reception area.
"Chairman Wan..."
Li Chengde and the others also rose to greet him, smiling and greeting him politely.
"Mm, Vice President Li..."
Wan Yunting also greeted them with a smile before being pulled down by Jiang Yichun. He chuckled, "I didn't expect you to come over so soon. Come, this tea is good..."
"Alright, thank you, Elder Jiang..."
Wan Yunting accepted the teacup handed to him by Jiang Yichun with both hands, raised it with everyone, and after drinking a cup of tea, he smiled and said, "Elder Jiang, how has your health been lately?"
"Haha, very good."
Jiang Yichun laughed heartily and said, "If I had known you were returning to Huadu City for the New Year, we wouldn't have gone back to our hometown."
His words made Wan Yunting feel a bit embarrassed. He then smiled and said, "Then let's notify everyone for a brief meeting."
"Okay, I'll go notify the others..." Li Chengde got up and went out.
Wan Yunting continued to chat with Jiang Yichun. After Li Chengde returned, he announced, "Chairman Wan, Elder Jiang, everyone is here."
"Good, let's go..."
Wan Yunting helped Jiang Yichun up, and they moved to the conference room downstairs. Ruan Wen and the others were already present. They greeted Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun upon seeing them.
Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun sat at the head of the table simultaneously. Looking at Ruan Wen and the others, they had mostly met each other when Wan Yunting first came to Huadu City, so no lengthy introductions were needed. Wan Yunting got straight to the point: "My only purpose in returning to Huadu City this time is to establish a true Chinese medicine hospital for our traditional Chinese medicine!"
The idea of establishing a Chinese medicine hospital had been briefly introduced to everyone by Wan Yunting and Gu Yuanbai at the national conference held in Beijing.
Everyone had initially thought the hospital would be established in Beijing, but unexpectedly, it was to be built in Huadu City.
Ruan Wen couldn't help but ask, "Chairman Wan, why did you choose to establish the Chinese medicine hospital in our Huadu City?"
"Yes...?" Others chimed in.
Wan Yunting scanned the faces of everyone, his gaze lingering on Ruan Wen for a few seconds before he smiled and said, "Recently, our traditional Chinese medicine has been a bit too high-profile. To avoid causing too much trouble, we will keep a low profile for now and establish the Chinese medicine hospital in Huadu City as an experiment."
"The main reason for choosing Huadu City is that I am familiar with this place, and with Chairman Jiang, Vice Chairman Li, and all of you, I am very confident that once the hospital is established and put into practice, it will perform exceptionally well."
His words earned a round of applause from everyone.
Jiang Yichun then asked, "Then where should we establish the Chinese medicine hospital?"
Wan Yunting nodded and looked at everyone, asking, "Does anyone have any good suggestions for locations? Preferably an existing hospital, so we can directly convert it into a Chinese medicine hospital."
"Well, the private hospital called Yuanli on Yunlan Road seems to be for sale!" Ruan Wen's eyes lit up as she immediately said.
Li Chengde also nodded and added, "I've heard about it too. That hospital had a very serious medical accident, and the dean fled abroad. The hospital is now on the verge of bankruptcy and cannot continue operating."
Wan Yunting asked, "Who is currently in charge of the hospital, and is there a way to contact them?"
Ruan Wen replied, "I can go and inquire about it."
"Alright, then Committee Member Ruan will make inquiries. Contact their person in charge as soon as possible, and then notify us to go and assess the hardware facilities of the hospital. If it's suitable, we will acquire it and renovate it." Wan Yunting instructed Ruan Wen.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Ruan Wen was also happy, not expecting to be able to help Wan Yunting with this matter.
Afterward, Wan Yunting briefly explained some details about the Chinese medicine hospital to everyone, such as the recruitment of traditional Chinese medicine doctors. The meeting adjourned at half-past five in the afternoon.
Everyone bid farewell to Wan Yunting and Jiang Yichun and dispersed. Ruan Wen, unnoticed by others, winked at Wan Yunting, gesturing for him to check his phone.
Wan Yunting checked his phone and found several messages from Ruan Wen via WeChat, inviting him to have dinner at Ruan Xingwen's house that evening.
However, Wan Yunting replied with a message saying he would have dinner at his second brother's house and would go to see them later.
Upon receiving the message, Ruan Wen quickly called Ruan Xingwen to tell her not to prepare dinner for Wan Yunting, and then she hurried off to find the contact information for the person in charge of Yuanli Private Hospital. Getting things done was the priority.
"Yunting, what do you think of Committee Member Ruan?" Wan Yunting asked as he walked downstairs with Jiang Yichun.
"She's quite good. Her work efficiency is very high, and she does exactly as instructed," Wan Yunting nodded and smiled.
He didn't show preferential treatment to Ruan Wen because of their private relationship but spoke truthfully, acknowledging her work capability.
"Mm, I'm planning to promote her," Jiang Yichun smiled.
Wan Yunting chuckled, "That's up to you, Elder Jiang to decide."
Jiang Yichun nodded and then asked, "Why don't you come home for dinner? I haven't had a drink with you in a long time."
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, "How about tomorrow, Elder Jiang? I have to go back to my second brother's house today."
"Alright, then tomorrow. I'll have my wife prepare more food and drinks. We'll drink tomorrow night, it's settled then," Jiang Yichun smiled.
"Okay, then Elder Jiang, you should head back quickly too."
It was already after work hours. Wan Yunting watched Jiang Yichun leave before driving directly to his second brother's house.
That evening, he had dinner and chatted with his second brother and sister-in-law. After eating, he made an excuse and went out, heading directly to Ruan Xingwen's house.
Ruan Wen had already arrived at Ruan Xingwen's house early after settling her son.
Knowing that the man would be coming over that night, Ruan Xingwen had already put her daughter to sleep and was waiting for Wan Yunting with Ruan Wen.
As there was movement outside the door, Ruan Xingwen and Ruan Wen eagerly opened the door themselves. Upon seeing Wan Yunting, they excitedly rushed towards him.
The three wasted no time. They went into a bedroom on the lower ground floor of the villa, and the room was filled with the passion of their reunion.
The next day, Wan Yunting woke up early from between the two women and habitually went to the rooftop to meditate and practice. At eight o'clock, he went downstairs and coincidentally met Song Moyi, who was just waking up. She looked at Wan Yunting in surprise, "Teacher Wan, why are you at my house?"
Wan Yunting walked over and smiled gently, "I came to see you."
Song Moyi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "So, did you come this morning, or last night?"
Wan Yunting's expression faltered. It was as if the young girl had seen through his thoughts, making him smile sheepishly and attempt to explain.
"Moyi, you're awake. Go wash up quickly and then go to school."
Just then, Ruan Xingwen came upstairs and pulled Song Moyi, saying, "You go ahead and have breakfast."
"Okay..."
Wan Yunting nodded, smiled at Song Moyi, and turned to go downstairs.
"Mom, are you and Teacher Wan together?" Song Moyi immediately asked, grabbing Ruan Xingwen's arm.
Ruan Xingwen pulled her into the bathroom and said while helping her wash up, "Don't talk nonsense. Your Teacher Wan came to see you last night, but you were asleep. So, your Teacher Wan had a drink with your Aunt Wen last night and stayed at our place for the night."
"Oh, I see."
Song Moyi listened and couldn't help but feel disappointed. She turned and said, "Mom, why aren't you with Teacher Wan? I can call him Dad."
Ruan Xingwen's face stiffened, and she looked at her daughter in surprise, asking, "Do you really want Mom to be with your Teacher Wan?"
"Yes."
Song Moyi exclaimed excitedly, gesturing with her hands, "Teacher Wan is so kind, it would be great if he could be my dad."
Ruan Xingwen smiled and stroked her head, urging her to finish washing up quickly.
Ruan Xingwen had also pondered this question. The key was that Wan Yunting himself didn't have such intentions, and besides, he had so many confidantes around him. Ruan Xingwen didn't want to compete for anything.
Maintaining their current relationship was also quite good. They needed and comforted each other.
Wan Yunting and Ruan Wen had breakfast together at Ruan Xingwen's house before leaving. They first dropped Ruan Wen off at her home, which was in an ordinary residential complex where she lived with her mother.
Therefore, her son was usually taken care of by her mother, and Ruan Wen was responsible for working and earning money.
"We're here. You can drop me off here."
Ruan Wen asked Wan Yunting to park at the bottom of the residential complex. She turned to him and smiled, "I've already contacted the person in charge of Yuanli Hospital. Once I finalize the discussion, I'll immediately inform you and Chairman Jiang to come over for talks."
"Good, I'll wait for your news."
Wan Yunting nodded. He looked at the ordinary residential complex and asked, "You live here?"
"Yes, this is a second-hand apartment I bought before."
Ruan Wen nodded. Seeing him looking around, she couldn't help but smile, "What, do you dislike that it's old?"
Wan Yunting shook his head slightly, took her hand, and smiled, "Sister Wen, if you need..."
"Hehe, if I ask, would you help me?"
Ruan Wen interrupted him with a laugh. Seeing that Wan Yunting was serious, she then smiled earnestly, "I'm not joking. I don't need you to help me with anything. Actually, this is quite good. Besides, my income can still cover household expenses, and my mother helps me take care of my son, so there's no burden."
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "In any case, if you need any help, just tell me."
"Got it..."
Although Ruan Wen didn't seek such things, she was very happy seeing the man say that. She leaned forward and kissed Wan Yunting before opening the car door to get out, saying, "Hurry back, don't let anyone see you."
Wan Yunting smiled and waved to her before driving away.
Ruan Wen watched the car leave before turning to go upstairs.
Wan Yunting first returned to his second brother's house, and then went to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association to discuss the matter of the Chinese medicine hospital with Jiang Yichun.
By noon, Ruan Wen sent a message saying she had arranged to meet the person in charge of Yuanli Private Hospital and invited them to visit the hospital for further discussion.
