Chapter 19: Ancestors, Come Back (Seeking Collection)
Tang Zheng ultimately shirked the matter of buying a car. Huang Yonghui and his wife were absolutely sincere, not pretending to be kind. Tang Zheng was clear about this. However, Tang Zheng had his own bottom line. He took the diagnosis fee, which was one million yuan, and also accepted many sets of expensive clothes. This already exceeded his bottom line. If he continued to accept Huang Yonghui's gifts, Tang Zheng himself would not be able to accept it.
So, early in the morning, after eating the breakfast prepared by Jiang Yan, Tang Zheng bid farewell and left. Of course, the way to contact each other was definitely left behind. At this time, Tang Zheng had already regarded Huang Yonghui as a brother.
Walking on the road, Tang Zheng was now unable to suppress his excitement. If he could still maintain a calm demeanor at Huang Yonghui's house, then at this moment, carrying several Armani bags and wearing a white casual suit, Tang Zheng was no longer calm.
After all these years, I've finally made it. My parents won't have to suffer and toil anymore. They no longer need to rush around day and night for the tuition fees of my three siblings. From now on, I can take care of my little sister's tuition fees myself. And my younger brother will also have the opportunity to pick up his books again.
The phone at home was answered, and on the other end, came the voice of Liu Feng'e, my mother. Her voice was trembling with excitement: "Zhen, why haven't you called back for so long? Mom is worried to death."
A child travels a thousand miles, and the mother worries. This simple sentence suddenly made Tang Zheng's eyes well up with tears. His voice was also choked with emotion. However, Tang Zheng still forced a smile and said: "Mom, sorry about that. Lately, it's been busy at the hospital, so I didn't have time to call you guys. How's your body?"
"Alright, alright. Zong, how's your work going? Can you stay in Zhonghai? If not, come back home. It's easy to find a job here. You're already 25, it's time for you to find a wife." Liu Feng'e said happily.
"Feng'e, remind the kids to take care of themselves and not overwork. Our family's situation has improved now, so they should eat well and use what they need. Don't let them suffer."
On the other end of the phone, came the faint sound of Father Tang Dahai's voice.
Like many fathers, Tang Zheng's father is also a simple and kind rural man. Between the father and son, there are not too many words or exchanges, but this silent concern has always been present at all times.
Tang Zheng nodded and said repeatedly, "Mom, tell Dad that I'm fine, I'm very good. I've stayed in Zhonghai. Working at the hospital. Also, I've done some business on my own outside. I've earned money. Mom, wait a minute, as soon as the bank opens, I'll send some money back home."
"You kids, mom doesn't need your money for anything. You and your brother don't want us to take care of you anymore, just a little girl now. There's no burden now, this bit of money, your dad and I can afford it. Mom has even raised four big fat pigs." Parents are selfless, always giving, how would they ask their children for money?
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I have money. I've been keeping some for myself. Nier isn't taking the college entrance exam in June? Give her more money to buy review materials, supplements, and other things that cost money. You can rest assured, from now on, you and Dad can just enjoy life."
……
Tang Zheng returned to his rental house around 7:30. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Li happened to walk out of the bathroom.
When he saw Tang Zheng, Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came forward: "Boss, where have you been for the past ten days? Not even a phone call. Ye Zi called me and said you had left Hangzhou early, these few days, I was worried to death."
Looking at his brother's sincere greeting, the concern shown is not mixed with any hypocrisy. Tang Zheng also felt a warmth in his heart. This is what brothers are like.
Some emotional, came up to him, a solid hug. Tang Zheng also chuckled and said: "A Li, don't worry, brother is fine. You still don't understand me? How can I say it, that's also been through thick and thin. Rice has been eaten for two more years than you, right? Don't worry, won't lose."
Looking at Xu Li, Tang Zheng continued: "Brother not only won't lose out, now brother has started doing business. These past few days, I've made a small profit. Next, I'll go find a house. We'll move out of here. Don't worry, I'll cover all the rent."
Seeing Xu Li's intention to decline, Tang Zheng's face suddenly sank: "Ah Li, isn't that enough for brothers? If it weren't for your one thousand yuan, would I be where I am today? If you dare to quibble, then you're not considering me as the boss or as a brother."
Just then, the sound of knocking came from the door. Xu Li had already walked over and opened the door, and before Tang Zheng could ask, he heard Xu Li's somewhat panicked voice: "Ye... Director?"
Outside, Ye Zhengping's voice came over: "Hehe, Xu Li classmate, right? Hello, hello, I heard that Tang Zheng lives with you. Excuse me, where is Tang Zheng, Dr. Tang?"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zhengping saw Tang Zhen. Compared to ten days ago, Tang Zhen now had an extra air of confidence and charisma about him. Even Tang Zhen himself didn't notice it, but the skillful technique in his hands brought a kind of self-assurance. Adding to that was his elegant attire. At first glance, he looked like a refined young master, where was the disheveled look from before?
When he saw Tang Zheng, Ye Zhengping was also very excited. Last night, after receiving Wu Xiaonian's phone call, Ye Zhengping was indeed full of grievances, but the loss of his rice bowl also forced him to take action. He found the intern's information, called one by one, and finally got Xu Li's phone number, only to find that it was turned off. After much effort, he inquired about Xu Li's address and rushed over early this morning. Unexpectedly, he really encountered a surprise.
"Tang Zhen, ah, no, Dr. Tang. I'm really sorry to intrude... " Ye Zhengping's face was full of smiles, with a flattering and fawning expression.
This made Tang Zheng extremely disgusted and angry. Before Ye Zhengping could finish speaking, he directly interrupted Ye Zhengping's words and said in a deep voice: "Ye Zhengping, what are you doing here? Get out of here immediately, this is not your place."
Tang Zhen's blunt and impolite words instantly made Ye Zhengping's face extremely embarrassed, his facial muscles even twitching for a moment. When had Ye Dachu ever been treated with such disdain in the entire Zhonghai No. 1 Hospital? Wherever Ye Dachu went, he was always being waited on by others.
The huge fall, almost made Ye Zhengping turn his face on the spot, but thinking of his own career, which was still in Tang Zhen's hands, Ye Zhengping endured it and smiled: "This... Dr. Tang ah. Really sorry about that. Previously, due to some misunderstandings, we had some unpleasant things happen. Here, I apologize to you. As I said, Dr. Tang is such an outstanding doctor, he must be able to stand out. This time, I came specifically to ask Dr. Tang to come back to work."
By this point, Tang Zheng basically understood that in this situation, it was likely that Vice Mayor Xiao's side had put pressure on Zhonghai Yiyuan.
This was somewhat unexpected for Tang Zheng, originally, Tang Zheng's intention was that as long as a hospital could provide him with an internship evaluation, he could go anywhere. He didn't expect that Vice Mayor Xiao would actually choose to have Zhonghai Yiyuan Hospital come and invite him. These officials are indeed different, they consider things so thoroughly. Knowing that he had been wronged, they still wanted to help him regain his reputation.
Having figured out the situation, Tang Zheng was no longer in a hurry. With Vice Mayor Xiao present, China Sea First Hospital would compromise regardless of what happened. Looking at Ye Zhengping, Tang Zheng sneered and sat down instead, saying: "Director Ye, why did you come to invite me so quickly? I remember that back then, Director Ye said that unless I had water in my brain, you wouldn't invite me. How is it possible that you've gotten water in your brain so quickly? You don't even have any symptoms of hydrocephalus."
Tang Zheng's words almost made Ye Zhengping vomit blood, and indeed, it was a case of retribution in this life. It had only been a few days. Now, it was his turn. Ye Zhengping's face was burning with embarrassment. Extremely embarrassing.
He smiled wryly, pulled out a pack of Chinese cigarettes, lit one up and handed it to Tang Zheng: "Heh heh, Doctor Tang is right. I was impulsive back then and said some things I shouldn't have. I sincerely apologize to Doctor Tang."
Anyway, Ye Zhengping is also a leader, and his ability to be flexible is quite good. His mouth is still relatively quick-witted. As they spoke, he sat down with a familiar air and looked at Tang Zhen, saying: "Doctor Tang, you see, your internship results are also very important. When you come back to work, there will definitely be no problems in the evaluation. You can rest assured on this point. In addition, the hospital has decided to give you an extra salary and subsidy of 3,000 yuan per month. This way, Doctor Tang won't have to work so hard at part-time jobs and can put more energy into your work."
Upon hearing this, Tang Zheng sneered. It seemed that Wu Xiaonian and Ye Zhengping really didn't understand the situation. If it were in the past, not to mention being invited, just a phone call would be enough for Tang Zheng to compromise and go back due to consideration of his internship performance. But now?
Tang Zheng said calmly, "I'm not going. Ye Da's threshold is too high for me to enter. I heard that at the time, some people made bold statements in front of me, saying they would kneel down and beg me to return. How could you forget so quickly?"
At this point, Ye Zhengping was in a dilemma. Kneeling down to beg Tang Zheng to go back, at that time, was just an angry remark. Who would have thought that an intern would suddenly have such an unexpected encounter? Should he really kneel down? Ye Zhengping was also hesitant.
Looking at Tang Zheng's calm expression, Ye Zhengping smiled wryly and said: "Ancestor, you can go back to the hospital and work. Just say what conditions are needed. What I can do, I will definitely do."
