Chapter 26: The Xiao Family's Request (Rushing to the Charts, Seeking Recommendations)

  "This... Vice Mayor Xiao, treating Xiao Xiao. It's just my regular work, saving lives and healing wounds, it's also what a doctor should do..." Tang Zheng hesitated.

  This mentality is also very normal for Tang Zheng. Although Tang Zheng has a cheerful personality, he is actually extremely proud deep down. Other people's pride is written on their faces, but Tang Zheng's pride is deeply rooted in his bones. Of course, behind this proud and aloof exterior, there is also a hint of inferiority complex.

  "Tang Zhen, what's the big deal? You cured me, and our family inviting you to dinner is only right." Xiao Xiao chimed in from beside him, pouting. It was clear that he was unhappy with Tang Zhen's refusal.

  Tang Zheng is handsome in appearance and tall in stature. He is a genuine handsome young man. He is also Xiao Xiao's lifesaver. Xiao Xiao has some inexplicable feelings towards Tang Zheng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have affectionately called him "brother".

  Next to him, Xiao Zhenhai's older brother also smiled and said: "Dr. Tang, I'm Xiao Zhenhai. Just a meal, this isn't bribery or giving red envelopes. It's completely a sincere thank you. You see, Dr. Tang, you also call Wenli 'Auntie'. We're just like one family, what do you think?"

  Xiao Zhenhai? Hearing this name, Tang Zheng's heart was also extremely shocked. Although Tang Zheng is not interested in military and political affairs, he has also heard of this name. The current deputy secretary of the State Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Minister of Public Security, and member of the Politburo. This year is 2008, it can be imagined that four years later, Xiao Zhenhai will definitely become a core figure in the nine tripod.

  The depth of the Xiao family's foundation far exceeded Tang Zheng's expectations. Tang Zheng's shock, however, made the Xiao family think that he was not very willing.

  Next to her, Song Wenli also smiled and said: "Xiao Tang, Auntie is treating you, this doesn't count as anything, don't worry. On the hospital's side, if Director Qin says something, I'll help you solve it."

  It's come to this point, if you still don't agree, then it's just being pretentious. Making excuses can be considered humility, but as the Xiao brothers have already humbled themselves and asked a young whippersnapper like you, not agreeing now would be giving them no face.

  Tang Zheng wasn't someone who had never seen the world or mixed with society, he also understood these worldly affairs. Previously, when he refused, Tang Zheng didn't dare and was unwilling to get entangled in this wealthy and influential family. However, now, it's unavoidable.

  She nodded and said, "Auntie, I didn't mean it that way."

  "Haha, Xiao Tang has agreed, that's good. I'll go arrange it now." Xiao Zhen Shan said with a smile from the side.

  At this moment, Tang Zheng also smiled and said: "Auntie, since that's the case, I'll call my friend first. I won't be back for lunch today."

  Upon hearing this, Song Wenli smiled playfully and looked at Tang Zheng, teasingly saying: "Little Tang, friend? Girlfriend, huh. Hehe, Little Tang has such a good idea. A girl who follows you will definitely be happy. So considerate."

  This sentence made Tang Zheng feel a bit embarrassed. But thinking of Li Fei, the seductress, Tang Zheng couldn't say anything else. The more he talked about it, the more confusing it became. Moreover, his relationship with the Xiao family was just a fleeting encounter, a coincidence that led to him saving Xiao Xiao. As for discussing other things, they really couldn't be discussed.

  "Song Auntie, then I'll go out and make a phone call first." Tang Zheng didn't argue anymore. He smiled and said.

  As Tang Zheng went out, Xiao Xiao's face showed a slightly unhappy expression, which also made Song Wenli somewhat worried.

  As I walked out of the ward, I dialed Li Fei's phone number. On the other end, it was Li Fei's voice: "Tang Zheng, I was just about to call you. I won't be going back for lunch today. I'm on shift this afternoon."

  Originally, Tang Zheng didn't know how to bring it up, but now he had also put his mind at ease, smiling and saying: "Just right, I wanted to talk to you about this too. This afternoon I have something on, so I won't be going back. Since you're not going back either, then that's settled."

  He hung up the phone, and at this time, Xiao Xiao had already changed into his own clothes and walked out. Ninety-nine casual pants, white board shoes. The top was a thick orange long-sleeved T-shirt. Very student-like attire, but with a unique youthful vitality that sets him apart from others.

  From Xiao Xiao's solo hiking trip as a donkey friend, it can be seen that Xiao Xiao is a very independent girl. This outfit is also very normal.

  Behind Xiao Xiao, Song Wenli pulled out a large trunk and walked out, followed by the two brothers Xiao Zhen Shan. At this time, at the door, two black Audis had already stopped at the entrance. A secretary-like person had already come up.

  Now, the Xiao Zhen Shan family has absolute trust in Tang Zheng's medical skills. Since Tang Zheng said it was okay to be discharged, Xiao Zhen Shan naturally wouldn't hesitate. As for the discharge procedures, with Xiao Zhen Shan's status and position, it wasn't necessary to go through so much trouble.

  Two cars, Xiao Zhenhai and Song Wenli sat in one car. On the other hand, Xiao Zhenshan was accompanied by Tang Zheng and his secretary in another car.

  As soon as they got in the car, Xiao Zhen Shan spoke up and said: "Xiao Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Xiao's attending physician, Tang Zheng. Little Tang, this is my secretary Zhou Yue Tuo. Looking at his age, Yue Tuo is a few years older than you, so from now on, just call him Brother Tuo."

  When Zhou Yuntao heard Xiao Zhen Shan's words, he was also extremely shocked. As the secretary of the boss, Zhou Yuntao was very clear about Xiao Zhen Shan's character - fair and impartial, never seeking benefits for his own family members. If he seriously introduced Tang Zheng, it was enough to prove Tang Zheng's weight. Moreover, just now, even saw Secretary Xiao. This shows that the Xiao family attaches great importance to Tang Zheng.

  Zhou Yue naturally wouldn't be slow to react. As a secretary, he still had some sense of propriety, and turned around, extending his hand to shake hands with Tang Zheng, before smiling and saying: "Doctor Tang, nice to meet you. If there's anything in the future, just look for me. If I can't solve it, then go find the boss."

  Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Xiao Zhen also burst out laughing: "Don't be so cheeky, looking for me won't solve anything either."

  Xiao Zhen Shan's words were naturally joking, but Tang Zheng could also hear the position of Zhou Yue Tao in Xiao Zhen Shan's mind. A secretary who has reached this level is extremely rare.

  He smiled and said: "Tao Ge, you're too polite. If there's any trouble, I'll definitely look for Tao Ge."

  The car didn't hesitate at all. It directly got on the ring road. Almost passing through half of Zhonghai City, it finally stopped in an old residential area in Baoshan District, Zhonghai City.

  Tang Zheng looked surprised and curious, Zhou Yue Tao smiled and introduced beside him: "Younger brother, don't look at this place being unimpressive, this is actually one of the most famous private restaurants in Zhonghai City. It's right inside this residential building. The boss here is also a strange person, every day he absolutely only serves one lunch. At other times, he doesn't receive guests."

  Followed him in, it was an ordinary residential building, an ordinary room, just like many urban families.

  The dishes on the table are not some rare delicacies from mountains and seas. They are just some ordinary home-cooked dishes. However, they have complete color, fragrance, and flavor. The wine is also a medicinal liquor brewed by the boss himself.

  The amber-colored liquor emitted a medicinal aroma, which also shocked Tang Zheng: "This wine is not simple, there's ginseng, cordyceps, and lycium barbarum; huh? It seems to have the flavor of tiger bone and lingzhi too."

  As soon as the words fell, a man in his sixties walked out with a plate of green vegetables: "Mayor Xiao, this young comrade is not simple. The medicinal wine here can drink out ginseng and astragalus, but it's rare to smell out tiger bone and lingzhi just by smelling it."

  "Good boy, familiar with Chinese medicine!" The old man looked at Tang Zheng and began to praise him.

  Xiao Zhen Shan laughed and said, "Zhang Ge, isn't it impressive? Let me introduce you, Tang Zheng, Dr. Tang. Don't look at his young age, he has a rich family background in medicine. His medical skills are also top-notch. This time, I came to ask him specifically to invite Dr. Tang to Beijing."

  Old Zhang's elderly man, upon hearing this sentence, also became serious, and his originally gentle gaze suddenly became sharp, staring at Tang Zheng. After a while, he nodded and said: "It seems that this is also the good fortune of Old Chief."

  At this moment, Tang Zheng was a bit unclear. Looking at Xiao Zhen Shan: "Vice Mayor Xiao..."

  "Little Tang, we've known each other for a while now, just call me Uncle Xiao. Calling me Deputy Mayor Xiao is too formal." Xiao Zhen Shan said with a smile.

  "Huh? What's going on, Uncle Xiao? Going to the capital city?" Tang Zheng was still confused at this moment.

  Xiao Tang, the situation is like this. My father's health has not been too good recently. After Zhen Shan witnessed your medical skills, he mentioned it to me. This time, after seeing your incredible medical skills, my brother and I would like to invite you to come to the capital city to take a look at our father's illness.

  Waiting for Xiao Zhenhai to finish, beside him, Xiao Zhenshan also spoke up: "Little Tang, it's really presumptuous. This is also a wish that I and your Uncle Xiao share. We both hope that the elderly can be healthy and live long. This time inviting you, is completely from the perspective of a son hoping for his father to recover, without involving any official duties or status. If Little Tang doesn't want to go over there, we can also think of ways to bring my father over here. However...the old man's identity and status are quite special. So...it's still best that we go over there."

  At this moment, Zhou Yue also said in a low voice beside Tang Zheng: "Younger brother, the old man is calling Xiao Weiguo."

  As soon as he heard this name, Tang Zheng was completely stunned. This is a legendary figure that has been seen in middle school history and political textbooks. Founding marshal, leader of the party and state. In the War of Resistance Against Japan and the Liberation War, they were all worthy tigers. In the 1980s, he even held the position of chairman.

  This is a person who dedicated his youth and blood to the country and nation. Let the old man come over for medical treatment. How can this be?

  Thinking of this, Tang Zheng directly stood up: "Uncle Xiao, when are we leaving? I'll make some preparations."
