From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor

Chapter 689 - 659: Everyday Work Life

Zhang Haitao was a little disappointed upon hearing this: "Does that mean you’re also going back to Dongzhou?" In Zhang Haitao’s view, going to the Culture and Tourism Bureau meant returning to Dongzhou, because not long ago, Fan Lidada went to the Culture and Tourism Bureau to become the director. According to his thinking, Fan Lidada and Xu Chunliang were good friends, so Xu Chunliang must have gone there for him.Zhang Haitao, of course, didn’t know the inside story. Instead, it was Fan Lidada who was reinstated through Xu Chunliang’s connections, and Fu Guomin transferred him back to the Dongzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau, where he also served as the deputy director.

Ever since Xu Chunliang left Changxing, Zhang Haitao started to feel a bit uneasy. Now that the transfer procedures for Weishan Island Hospital had been completed, he, as a contract worker, was in the category of being advised to leave. Even if he stayed reluctantly, there wouldn’t be much development for him in the future. He planned to get some compensation from Hua Nian and leave.

Zhang Haitao was pondering the idea of asking Xu Chunliang to find him a new position, but Xu Chunliang had been away recently, and he hadn’t had the chance to bring it up. When he heard that Xu Chunliang went to the Culture and Tourism Bureau, he thought Xu Chunliang was also going back to Dongzhou.

Xu Chunliang told Zhang Haitao that he wasn’t leaving; the Resort Command is also a unit under the Culture and Tourism Bureau and won’t be easily abolished. There is still a lot of work to be done.

Zhang Haitao shared his thoughts with Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "In the future, it will change to Mu Tian Group. Staying there does you no good. Our command center is short of people, but current tasks are still under preparation. I can’t tell you everything clearly, but if you want to join, I can pave the way for you. But I have to say up front, there won’t be any official position."

Zhang Haitao said, "I understand, just a temporary worker. Even a temporary position is fine. I just want to find something to do and make some real contributions to my hometown."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t spread this matter yet. The specific situation depends on what the higher-ups decide, but the command center will certainly hire people."

Zhang Haitao said, "How about I come over first to help, even without a salary."

"Work for free?"

Zhang Haitao laughed and said, "I’m still part-timing at the brewery hot spring, and I’m not getting paid there either."

"Complaining?"

Zhang Haitao shook his head and said, "I wouldn’t dare. I just want to follow you and do something meaningful. It makes me feel hopeful for the future."

Xu Chunliang said, "Okay, your awareness is growing. The command center is short of hands these days. You can help them move first. This lot has never done any hard work, can’t get anything done."

Zhang Haitao had long noticed that the command center was full of office sitters, used to a life of privilege, not suited for heavy labor. Moving this kind of heavy work would have to be done by people like them.

He heard that the command center would be moving to the town government. Zhang Haitao was secretly pleased because as long as Xu Chunliang agreed, it was almost a done deal. Wouldn’t this mean he’d also be working for the town government in the future? To outsiders, he would be seen as government personnel. Who in Hu Shan Town wouldn’t look up to him?

At this moment, Wang Jinwu came over, driving his Land Rover directly to the front door. As the water had just been drained and the ground was muddy, his freshly cleaned car was splattered with a lot of mud again. He got out of the car and complained, "This damn place, it’s dirty and smelly."

Hearing the sound, Xu Chunliang came out and smiled, "Brother Jin Wu, what brings you here today?"

Wang Jinwu said, "I just went to the town for business and heard you were back, so I came to greet you." Looking at the mess in front of him, he was a bit puzzled, "What are you doing here? Didn’t Fan Lidada leave already? It’s so smelly, hurry up, get in the car."

Xu Chunliang smiled and got into the car with Wang Jinwu.

After starting the car, Wang Jinwu said, "I wondered why that Mu Tian Group is so unreliable. The town already said that the brewery’s hot spring water resources are for everyone to share. I went to talk to them, mainly wanting them to design a pipeline during the hot spring development so we could also benefit in the future. But they totally ignored us."

Xu Chunliang thought there was something going on. Recently, Tong Guangsheng and his old comrade Zhan Aihua were planning to build a hot spring hotel at Xianhong Farm and were already in the design stage. Because it’s a hot spring hotel, they certainly have to use the hot spring brand.

Currently, Mu Tian Group is responsible for the design and construction of the brewery’s hot springs, which they have the experience for.

Hu Shan Town Government had already made it clear that hot spring resources belong to the state. With the prior experience of the Ecological Environment Construction Investment Group, no company will be granted exclusive development rights again.

This was also the agreement between Xu Chunliang and Qin Zhengyang. The brewery hot spring could be developed by Mu Tian Group, but the use of the hot spring water must be decided by the town.

The brewery hot spring is still in the design phase, and the town specifically organized a meeting with multiple enterprises and Mu Tian Group, including Xianhong Farm and Da Heng Group. The theme of the meeting was to brainstorm ideas, discuss reasonable hot spring development, and ultimately share resources.

The meeting was very successful, but after the meeting, when Wang Jinwu went to negotiate specific plans with Mu Tian Group, he was coldly received.

Wang Jinwu angrily said, "That Wang Hongfeng is a smiling tiger, talking sweetly, but when it comes to implementing, he always has excuses."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t worry. It’s not up to him to decide. The use of hot spring water will ultimately be decided by the town."

Wang Jinwu said, "We’re just running a pipeline to Xianhong Farm. That’s not too much to ask, right? Wang Hongfeng said I’m an amateur, claiming that the water supply for hot springs is different from regular municipal water supply and is technically challenging. What’s so challenging about it? Isn’t hot spring water still water? They used to provide a lot of heating in the winter, and the same way heating pipes run, hot springs should run too. There’s no technical content to it."

Xu Chunliang said, "I don’t understand professional matters either. I’ll consult someone later, don’t worry."

Wang Jinwu had actually already sought out Qin Zhengyang, who also reassured him that the hot spring resources were not exclusive to Mu Tian Group, and Weishan Island wouldn’t let them monopolize the island’s resources.

Wang Jinwu said, "I can’t not be anxious. The design plan is about to come out, and if they don’t let us lay the pipeline, wouldn’t our hot spring hotel be misnamed?"

Xu Chunliang believed there was no need to hurry. Although Mu Tian Group was responsible for the design, the final decision was up to the town. Hearing this, Wang Jinwu felt reassured: "Uncle Tong is right; the East Asian Ghosts are no good."

Xu Chunliang said, "Wang Hongfeng is not an East Asian Ghost."

"Fake East Asian Ghosts are even more hateful."

Wang Jinwu drove Xu Chunliang to the future site of their hot spring hotel, the best spot in Xianhong Farm, nestled against the mountains and water, scenic and picturesque. In the future, a National Style Hot Spring Hotel would be built here, integrating tourism, dining, vacation, and leisure.

The yacht dock at Xianhong Farm would also be renovated. Zhan Aihua and his son provided many reasonable suggestions. It was Zhan Tianhang who decided to invest in Weishan Island, believing after extensive research that Weishan Island had great tourism potential.

Listening to Wang Jinwu talk about their plan for a while, Xu Chunliang felt that Xianhong Farm was clearly transitioning toward tourism, whereas previously it had been mainly focused on aquaculture.

Wang Jinwu said, "You don’t get it, this is called keeping up with the times. The government has pointed the way, and if we don’t have the insight to see it, how can we do any business?"

Xu Chunliang nodded. He told Wang Jinwu about Hualiang Group’s plan to come for an inspection.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinwu was overjoyed. Hualiang Group is a Fortune 500 company and the largest grain and oil food import and export company in the country. If they could reach a cooperation agreement, it would be a significant benefit for Xianhong Farm.

Xu Chunliang said, "Originally, they were interested in your Pu’er tea production, but the person in charge mistakenly thought Weishan Island produced tea, so I went along with it to try to get them to come here first. Xianhong Farm has more than just tea."

Wang Jinwu said, "Our tea may lack fame, but it’s actually not inferior to other renowned brands."

While they were chatting, they saw Shu Yuanhang’s family of three coming down from the small hill. Since Shu Yuanhang’s relationship with his father improved, he often came to Xianhong Farm to play. Today, they came from Dongzhou to enjoy some farm-style food.

Xu Chunliang greeted them, and Shu Yuanhang and his wife walked over to him with smiles, while Tong Nianzu shouted "Uncle Xu" from a distance. Xu Chunliang had once saved him from kidnappers, and Xiaonianzu was particularly fond of Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang picked up Xiaonianzu and spun him around in the air three times before letting him down. Xiaonianzu, delighted, said, "Uncle Xu, you know kung fu, don’t you? My grandpa said you’re amazing. Can you teach me martial arts?"

Xu Chunliang thought to himself, well, recently I’ve had so many people wanting to become my disciples.

However, so far, he had only officially accepted Ji Jiajia as an apprentice; Xiaonianzu was just a child and not seeking to learn martial arts formally.

Xu Chunliang said, "Your grandpa is the amazing one; he’s a war hero, you should learn from him."

Shu Yuanhang called out, "Chunliang is here."

Xu Chunliang pointed to the vacant land beside him and said, "Brother Jin Wu asked me to come and take a look at the plot for your hot spring hotel."

Wang Jinwu said, "I wanted him to help with some advice; official opinions are important."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "You’re teasing me; how can I represent anything official?"

Ruan Xingmei chimed in, "You’re the deputy mayor, of course, you can represent official views."

Wang Jinwu got more excited, "You guys don’t know, he’s now with the Dongzhou Culture and Tourism Bureau. His promotion speed is incredible."

Shu Yuanhang and his wife didn’t have much concept of officialdom, but knew Xu Chunliang was doing well. Shu Yuanhang said, "You were the one who brought me to Changxing Hospital, and now I’ve come, you’ve left."

Xu Chunliang asked, "How’s it going? Is your work at Changxing smooth?"

Shu Yuanhang said, "No problems with work, Dean Zhao takes good care of us in every aspect. I’m very satisfied with the current work environment."
