"Mm, good. Since that’s the case, keep him here a bit longer. After all, it’s rare for him to visit China. We must be good hosts."
Yan Aohan strongly agreed with Zhu Yanyi’s idea. Not only did he agree, but he also offered advice: "I say, you could introduce a high-end sanatorium or a specific place to General Roth. Let her understand that rest is important sometimes. Don’t be so diligent every day, thinking only about artillery and fire."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, thinking, and took another bite of her fried dough stick. "Do you think I should suggest she become a farmer? Let her understand how hard ordinary people’s lives are."
"I think that’s also a good idea," Yan Aohan said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "I think the place should be deep in the mountains. Wake up with the sun, sleep with the sun. That would be very nice."
Yan Aohan listened. "That’s a good idea. I’ll have someone arrange it. Let General Roth go to that place."
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at Yan Aohan. "There’s a problem. If she goes there, I, as her doctor, have to go too."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan frowned. "No, you can’t go. Forget it, just let him stay at the Capital Hospital." Yan Aohan felt troubled that he couldn’t make General Roth suffer more.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Actually, we can try. In about half a month, I won’t need to treat her every day. Then, using the excuse of restoring her body functions, I’ll make her be a farmer for a week. Let her suffer a bit. Tell her this is also a stage of treatment. What do you think?"
"That’s the only way. I originally wanted him to suffer more, but it seems one week is all we can get." Yan Aohan nodded seriously. Better than nothing.
Regarding General Roth, Yan Aohan truly felt impatient. Mainly because General Roth was a warmonger. His current state was only due to his physical condition limiting his desire for war.
Ending the topic of General Roth, Yan Aohan said, "By the way, do you still remember Zhan Diting?"
"The person with missing body parts but living healthily and happily? That contradictory person?" Zhu Yanyi naturally wouldn’t forget this special person.
Counting back, this was Zhu Yanyi’s first patient she couldn’t cure. Zhu Yanyi often thought about this problem when she had free time. There are thousands of patients in the world; she wondered if there were others like Zhan Diting.
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "He lived too happily recently, ate too much, and ended up with stomach trouble. I asked you to make some stomach medicine for him."
Zhu Yanyi was stunned. "With her broken body, she still eats randomly?" Zhu Yanyi sighed, rubbing her forehead, but still said, "Forget it. I’ll make some special stomach medicine tonight. You give it to her."
Yan Aohan chuckled. "But I must say, he lives very freely. You haven’t met many people like that, have you?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. She didn’t deny this. Zhan Diting was indeed very objective. This was one of the reasons she admired her.
"This person lives really freely. I’ve never met such an open-minded person before."
"So, some things, you don’t need to take to heart." Yan Aohan smiled and continued, "Regarding the incidents in Shanghai and Nanjing, Zhou Feng wrote a report for me. I’ve read it and basically know the situation. But you still need to tell me the details."
Zhu Yanyi nodded, finished the fried dough stick in her hand, and pointed to the vegetable bun nearby. "Give me a vegetable bun."
Yan Aohan handed it to her. She took it, broke off a piece, put it in her mouth, and then continued, "It’s like this. It starts with my uncle from the resistance army calling me…"
Zhu Yanyi told Yan Aohan everything. "In the end, the incidents in Shanghai and Nanjing ended so magically. But one result was good. Brother Cheng Xu was transferred to Shanghai this time. Although he is only the Deputy Director of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, it’s still a big step forward."
You have to know that Shanghai is a direct-controlled municipality. It’s not a place where just anyone can hold a position. Even a small clerk needs various connections to work there.
Cheng Xu had encountered a good opportunity. It happened that the Capital and Shanghai were competing. So when trouble happened in Shanghai, the Capital directly sent people there, instead of promoting locals from Shanghai.
"Mm, this is good news. But relatively speaking, I think it’s not enough," Yan Aohan said calmly. "Your contribution was the greatest here. You didn’t ask them for anything. They know Cheng Xu is your brother, yet they only gave him this position. Not even a Standing Committee member. Relatively speaking, you lost out. But it’s okay. I’ll push him a bit more in a few days, depending on the situation."
His own people couldn’t suffer losses. Yan Aohan was just that protective.
"Mm." Zhu Yanyi didn’t understand this aspect well. Since Yan Aohan said he lost out, then he lost out. She let him handle it.
"As you said, this time could go so smoothly, Silver Fox’s contribution was not small either," Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi and said.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "Mm, yes. Although I can’t stand Silver Fox’s stinginess. He said he originally only planned for one day, but because of my face, he specially gave an extra day. Do I need him to give me face? So later in Nanjing, I directly returned that remark to him." She was petty too. If there was a grudge, she would repay it directly.
Yan Aohan laughed upon hearing this. "Silver Fox did that on purpose. If I guess correctly, Silver Fox himself decided to prepare for two days. After all, such matters can’t be solved in one day. Two days of preparation is already fast. But him saying that to you, nine times out of ten, was intentional."
"Why?" Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and asked, stuffing a piece of vegetable bun into her mouth, swallowing it. "I’ve only met her a few times. We don’t have a deep friendship. Why would she intentionally do that to me? Does she have some purpose?"
"I don’t know his purpose now. But since he did that, if there is a purpose, it will eventually be revealed. You don’t need to take it too much to heart." Yan Aohan smiled faintly. In his heart, he thought, it seems I need to find an opportunity to meet this Silver Fox.
At this moment, Silver Fox was in the waiting room. Old Ma brought a cup of coffee to Silver Fox. "The coffee here isn’t authentic. Just drink it casually."
Silver Fox continued to flip through the documents in his hand. "When have you ever seen me force myself? I never disdain things that aren’t authentic."
Old Ma raised his eyebrows slightly and had to say, "Okay then, I’ll go get you a cup of hot water."
"No need. We’re boarding soon. Sit down." Then he looked at Old Ma. "Aren’t you tired from running back and forth like this?"
