Chapter 97(1/2)
Late at night, a freighter with the Fu logo on the bow was moored on the surface of the near sea after continuing to sail for a day and a night.
The bow light illuminates the near place, and the sea waves slapped the side of the boat. Going a little further away, the sea level and the night sky are connected, and the vision is pitch black.
Half an hour ago, the anti-smuggling ship that followed the Song Gao and forced it to return to the port had already left. The Song Gao also received a telegram, and at this moment, was waiting for the arrival of its helm.
Didn't wait long. Soon, a small ship appeared at the end of the sea in the direction of the port. It broke through the waves at a speed of twenty knots and quickly came towards this side. Soon, the two ships met. Captain Song Gao and two first mates, who were waiting on the deck of the bow, hurriedly directed the crew to lower the connecting bridge and picked up the young new ship king who had not long been on the throne of the Fu family on the ship.
At night, a strong wind blew on the sea surface. When several people saw him strode to the deck in the wind, their expressions were gloomy. When they stood still, their eyes rushed towards them and they couldn't help but be frightened.
He actually took a boat to sea, sailed on the sea for a day and night, and arrived here directly.
It can be seen how much he attaches importance to this matter. Before he could speak, he immediately knelt on the deck, pleaded guilty and prayed to Rao, and sued the East Asian Pharmaceutical Factory for the order issued by the manager. Although he was the captain, he had no right to interfere and could not make a decision. He asked the new ship king to give him another chance, and he would do his best to serve in the future and dare not deceive him at all.
The sea gradually became thick fog, lingering with this freighter that was fixed to and from the Nanyang Sea. At the stern, under the surveillance of Fu Mingcheng, boxes of opium were dumped into the sea. The crew was busy until dawn, until finally, all were poured out, and no one was left.
Fu Mingcheng left the Song Gao, returned to the ship, and returned at full speed, landed late the next night.
At this time, three or four days have passed since the Fu family's cocktail party ended.
He worked without stopping and arrived at the Fu family's company headquarters in the New Territories overnight.
Sun Yuanxing is in charge of several Nanyang ships, including the Song Gao. He is one of the oldest and most qualified managers of the Fu family. He just arrived in Tiancheng from another place last night and is now standing in front of Fu Mingcheng.
He is over fifty years old, and he looks frightened and can't say a word. He will never see any shrewd appearance of the past again.
Fu Mingcheng sat on a pear wooden table that looked old. He didn't say anything at first. He carefully wiped the gold-rimmed glasses with a little dust on the glass surface in his hand with a handkerchief. After wiping it clean, he put it back on the bridge of his nose, raised his eyes, and finally opened his mouth.
"Uncle Sun, I remember when I was young, I often saw my father discussing matters with you here. My father taught me that you are old brothers who have worked hard all the way with him, so I want to call you uncles to show my respect for you-"
He looked around the office, his eyes stopped on a photo of the old ship king hanging on the wall, and then fell on the face of the person opposite.
"I still remember my father's words, but I don't know you, do I remember the days when I worked hard with my father?"
Manager Sun's lips trembled slightly, he took a few steps forward, and said tremblingly: "Second Young Master, Song Gaohao's goods were not something I could control at first, but the eldest son. Second Young Master, you also know that since the beginning of the past two years, some of the company's business was transferred to the eldest son. The eldest son wanted to take on such a job. I have no choice, and I dare not tell you my father, for fear of affecting the relationship between father and son--"
"shut up!"
Fu Mingcheng suddenly changed color.
"Even if you used to do such dirty work under the pressure of my elder brother, what about now? You won't know what the first thing I did after taking over Fu's family is, right? I told you more than once that I would never blame you, but from the first day I set the rules, I want every boat under me to be clean! How did you do it?"
"It's the most incredible to me. When you learned that something happened, it was not that you ordered Song Gaohao to destroy the goods on the spot, but that you ordered a turnaround! What do you want to do? Taking advantage of the East Asian pharmaceutical factory closing down, embezzling opium, and taking the opportunity to make another black money? Have you ever considered the Fu family at all?"
"Second Young Master, I was wrong! I was confused-"
Sun Yuanxing could no longer hold on, his teeth trembled, his legs became weak, and he knelt down.
"I'm older, I thought, taking this opportunity to finish this trip and earn some pension money, I'll stop doing it..."
Fu Mingcheng slapped the table and stood up.
"Old bastard! Did my father treat you badly when he was alive? Is the shares of Fu in your hands not enough for you to support you? People are not in a good mood, it is clear that you are greedy for money and profit! I know why my father is not incompatible with his elder brother? He doesn't make such money! I blame me, treat you as my father's old brother, thinking that you shouldn't go too far, but I didn't expect that because of my soft heart, you almost took Fu into the fire pit!"
He sneered.
"If I hadn't been lucky this time and could have made up for the loss, my Fu family's reputation would have been completely destroyed in your hands!"
Sun Yuanxing kept kowtowing.
"I will ask someone to liquidate the shares in your hands. You take the money and leave."
"This is the greatest kindness to you."
Finally he said coldly.
Sun Yuanxing's face was ashamed, and there was no other possibility except to accept and thank him.
He was supported by someone and barely got up from the ground, and staggered out of the office in such an extremely indecent way.
After the person left, Fu Mingcheng slowly breathed, summoned the secretary and asked the secretary's office to prepare for a shareholders' meeting tomorrow.
The secretary should have told him another thing. Late at night two days ago, a train between Tiancheng and the capital broke out and bomb assassination at Shuangqiao Station. After reading newspaper news, the Xiao Su who donated the laboratory of the company was almost in trouble. Fortunately, there was no danger and nothing big happened to the person.
Fu Mingcheng's face changed drastically. He immediately asked his secretary to get the newspaper from the previous two days, quickly browsed the relevant news, and suddenly got up and ordered the meeting to be cancelled.
"I will decide the earliest train ticket to the capital tomorrow!"
In a blink of an eye, today is the third day of the International Medical Conference. According to the process, it is also the last day of the conference.
The organizer and initiator of this conference is a famous foreign charitable fund and a Beijing Medical University, which has a cooperative relationship with the fund. It invites medical experts and professors from all over the country to come to China for exchanges and lectures. The purpose is to expand the influence of Western medicine in China and promote the development of domestic medical research and education.
The innate shortcomings determine that the specifications of the conference cannot be compared with the European Swiss Medical Conference, which has a long history. However, it has indeed invited a group of experts from all walks of life who are at the forefront of the world today. They are hailed by the newspaper industry as an unprecedented medical event in China, which is by no means an exaggeration.
A total of about 200 people attended the meeting. Except for foreign doctors and professors, representatives from major provinces in China that have carried out Western medical education, also attended this rare medical conference.
After the opening ceremony of the first day, there were special topics and speeches by experts and scholars, covering some cutting-edge and hot fields of medicine today, such as blood type and hemolysis, research on spiropathy, the concept of vitamins, encephalitis research, the latest surgical procedures, and discussions on patented drugs, public health, the system of current medical textbooks in China, and translation.
Su Xuezhi missed the first day of the meeting. In the evening, she left He Hanzhu to open a room in the Jingshi Hotel for her and moved to the place where she stayed with the principal.
The hotel is the western-style hotel with the closest conditions to the venue in the east of the city and the conditions are relatively the best. Most of the participants choose to live there.
Before the meeting that day was over, the principal saw the news of the train explosion in the evening newspaper while resting. Thinking of her breaking an appointment in the morning, she was worried about her safety and was anxious to return to the hotel immediately and found that she had arrived safely. She breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, the principal asked her to go to a dinner together and introduced her to several colleagues he had made new friends these days. Among them, Rudolph, a German professor who taught at the Beijing Medical University. The old man had a humorous conversation. Su Xuezhi had a good impression of him, but he accidentally learned during the conversation that he was He Hanzhu's doctor.
The next day, she attended the meeting with the principal and listened to various reports, as scheduled, and carried out one by one. In the evening, she participated in discussions and activities spontaneously organized by the delegates.
Su Xuezhi is the youngest and is the principal's assistant. In such an occasion, she will naturally not compete for the show. She acted as a follower and took notes silently. This day was busy and fulfilling.
On the third day, today, according to the original schedule of the meeting, at 4 pm, the principal and the principal will serve as the representative of Chinese medicine to give his special report to all participants, which is one hour.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
This afternoon, the one who arranged to give a speech before the principal was Professor White from the UK.
The level of development of contemporary medicine is far from that of the later generations. Many doctors are experts in general or cross-fields. White also spans several medical fields, but he is the most specialized in thyroid research and surgery, which is now authoritative.
In the introduction before the speech, Su Xuezhi also learned that he was a deceased student who won the highest medical award for establishing subtotal thyroidectomy to save countless patients.
According to the scheduled process, Professor White's speech time is from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, two hours, and when he finishes, it will be the principal's time.
But somehow, he arrived at the venue more than half an hour late, and the speech only started after two o'clock.
His initial speech was about routine surgical methods of the thyroid gland. Later, it gradually developed and the topic he discussed became the thyroid capsule anatomy technology.
It was about the time of interest that the professor kept talking until after four o'clock, and the timeout was severe, and he was still talking endlessly, without any intention of ending.
It can be said that this technology was a huge innovation in modern thyroid surgery later.
But in contemporary times, it is still very cutting-edge, and it is basically just a concept that is very different from perfection.
In the professor's speech, Su Xuezhi heard more than one statement that was not rigorous or even wrong about her - but this is nothing. Any technology has to go through a process of continuous correction from exploration to perfection. This is even more so in medicine.
This new surgical technology is now in its infancy. It is precisely because generations of doctors and scholars have spent time and energy to practice and correct mistakes that will make future progress and improvements-Su Xuezhi respects Professor White, one of the pioneers.
But Professor White obviously doesn't know how to respect others.
The secretary of the organizing committee handed over a note and tactfully reminded the professor that his time had come. The next hour, according to the plan, belonged to a Chinese professor.
The British on the stage glanced at the note and shrugged.
"I'm very sorry, this Chinese professor, I think you would not object to me borrowing time from you to continue to explain the great new surgical technique I'm working on. Thank you for your understanding."
His tone sounded very polite, but his carelessness and arrogance were clearly revealed.
In addition to the delegates attending the meeting, many medical students from the school who were attending the auditorium came from behind, as well as some reporters, sitting or standing, all of them were all people. After he finished speaking, there was a whispering noise of whispering from the audience.
After Professor White finished speaking, he signaled his assistant to continue, and continued to teach.
The auditorium gradually became quieter again.
Soon, a Chinese secretary of the organizing committee found the waiting principal and asked him to understand in a very sorry tone. Finally, he asked whether he could temporarily cancel the content of his speech.
According to the secretary, White was arrogant because of his talent. He was originally unwilling to attend the conference, but the organizing committee invited it repeatedly and finally reluctantly agreed.
Now that such an accident has occurred, the organizing committee has no choice but to go up and forcefully interrupt. I can only forgive me.
The current situation of Western medical education and development in China is generally far behind the Western world due to special historical reasons. This is an indisputable fact.
Among the foreign representatives attending the conference, of course, there were friendly people like Rudolph, but there were also people like Professor White.
At this conference, the opportunity for Chinese Medicine to speak is extremely limited. In three days, there is only one speech yesterday and the one played by the principal today, and it is only one hour.
However, now, even this mere hour has been cancelled.
A colleague just said that Professor White postponed the lecture because he slept late at noon.
It's just taking up time, but the attitude is so arrogant and rude.
It is already past four o'clock in the afternoon. When you watch this speech, it will be over until at least five o'clock. When he finishes his speech, he will follow the process. It will be a group photo of all the staff. Then, there will be a dinner in the evening and then the conference will end. The principal has no chance to publish the topic that he has been preparing for for a long time.
Most of the members of the organizing committee are foreign experts, including the president of the Beijing Medical University, so they naturally have some favoritism.
There seems to be no other way to accept such a result.
After pondering with the principal, he said to several colleagues who expressed dissatisfaction at the side: "Forget it, let's do it this way. This meeting was originally for the purpose of exchange and learning. If you are interested in my topic, when the conference is over, we can communicate in private and don't necessarily have to explain it in the conference."
The principal's tone sounded calm, but Su Xuezhi knew that he was also very regretful and helpless. After seeing him say this, he turned to himself and said, "Xiao Su, I just feel sorry for you. You have spent a lot of effort on this hour and stayed up late last night to prepare today's demonstration materials again. However, don't be disappointed. The wine is not afraid of the deep alley. Things with valuable value will not be buried. I believe that this set of surgical technology will sooner or later be promoted and benefit doctors and patients."
Su Xuezhi said it was okay, and she hated the arrogant British man to death. She gradually had another idea and followed the principal back to the venue as if nothing had happened. After listening to White's speech.
It was already past five o'clock and the audience was applauding.
After the applause fell, it was time to ask questions freely.
