On the second floor of the hospital administration building, near Li Chu's office, there used to be a small conference room, but it is no longer in use.
Director Qin from the logistics department arranged this room for the staff around Li Chu.
But it can't be used today, so I just arranged for someone to clean it up.
Seeing that it was already lunch time, he didn't rush to leave. He arranged for Tian Jun to take them to the cafeteria for dinner at noon. Li Chu strolled to Ding Qiunan's house alone.
office.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you busy with these days? Every time I come over, you are always there writing and drawing."
"You think everyone is just like you, bored all day long. I have a lot of things to do here. If you don't have anything to do, you can go out and play.
Ding Qiunan shouted back without raising his head.
Hey, this woman, just open your mouth and come here. What do you mean, go out and play? You are teasing children. This is.
Li Chu ignored her words, walked over and sat down on the desk.
"The higher ups sent a few people to monitor me."
His words made Ding Qiunan's hands tremble and he scratched the letter paper.
He raised his head and looked at his man, and asked in surprise: "What's going on? Why are you being monitored?"
"Why else? Aren't they going to start testing the medicine right away?"
"You mean, the higher-ups are afraid that you have any private dealings with those foreign pharmaceutical companies?"
"Well, I'm sure I'll be worried about that. In terms of salary alone, how much can I get from my full monthly salary plus subsidies?"
"Hmm..." Ding Qiunan silently calculated in his mind before saying: "Including the fifty-fifty subsidy from the Academy of Sciences, it's just over five hundred."
"That's right, look at those pharmaceutical companies. They can easily spend tens or millions of dollars on talking. Based on my current salary, I won't be able to earn that much money if I live for another hundred years, so the higher ups will definitely be worried about me being exploited.
Sugar-coated bullets corrode.”
"If that's the case, then don't agree to the requests of those companies. If you are asked to work, why don't you trust you?"
Ding Qiunan is a bit angry. She doesn't care about the salary at all. Anyway, her family hardly spends any money now. No matter how much they pay, it is deposited in the bank. She really doesn't value this now.
But she can't accept it if her man doesn't trust her.
Looking at his wife's tight little face, Li Chu felt a little funny.
Get off the table, walk behind her and start massaging her shoulders.
"You don't have to defend me. No one can rest assured about this kind of thing. It can only be said to be a normal work arrangement.
This time, I was assigned a translator, an assistant, a driver, and a car. Actually, this was good. The people above felt at ease, and so did I. What if I accidentally said the wrong thing?
.”
"So many people have been arranged? What about Xiaotian? He will not be allowed to drive in the future?" Ding Qiunan tilted her head back and looked at her husband from bottom to top.
"Xiao Tian still drives for me. The newly assigned driver is mainly for them."
"That's okay, otherwise I wouldn't be able to adapt to someone else being replaced suddenly, especially when I have to live at home at night.
The person you mentioned monitoring you is the translator, right?"
"That's for sure, but I guess she's quite choked."
"Why do you say that?"
"I don't think she understands medical skills, especially Chinese medicine. Who knows if she can translate well?"
While Li Chu and Ding Qiunan were talking about the translator, in the lounge where Tian Jun usually stayed, Zhao Zhijun kept asking him about some of Li Chu's work and life habits.
And ever since Tian Jun bent down to get a thermos bottle from the ground to pour water for them and leaked the pistol strapped to his waist, Li Yunli had been feeling a little uneasy.
She thought of what her superiors said when they sent her to translate for Dean Li.
"Comrade Li Yunli, I have just sent you to work as an interpreter for Comrade Li Chu. Don't look at those pharmaceutical companies who are now willing to spend money to test drugs, but privately I don't know what dirty tricks they will use, so you must be mentally prepared.
"
Mental preparation? Prepare for what? What else can it be? Be prepared for something to happen at any time.
"Leader, if there is any danger, I will protect Dean Li immediately."
This was Li Yunli's answer to the leader at that time. According to her thinking, if the leader could tell her to be mentally prepared, wouldn't he just tell her to protect Dean Li at all times?
Unexpectedly, the leader burst out laughing after hearing what she said.
"I didn't ask you to protect him. Just protect yourself. That guy has been on the battlefield and almost died. You protect him? Are you kidding me? Just don't be a burden to yourself."
The leader's words made Li Yunli a little confused. Has he been on the battlefield? According to Dean Li's age, he shouldn't!
Looking at Li Yunli's confused look, the leader knew that she couldn't figure it out, so he didn't give her too much explanation.
The bell ringing outside brought Li Yunli back to her senses from her memories.
At this time, Tian Jun also stopped communicating with Zhao Zhijun and took them to the cafeteria for lunch.
On the way to the cafeteria, she also met Dean Li's wife for the first time.
Compared with the photos she had seen before, Director Ding himself seemed to look younger.
With her fair and delicate skin, she didn't look like a forty-year-old woman at all, but more like she was in her twenties.
After saying hello to Ding Qiunan, Li Yunli couldn't help but asked: "Director Ding, are you really forty years old?"
"I am a person of 40 years old, and I am already 42 years old this year."
Listening to Ding Qiunan's crisp voice, Li Yunli was a little confused. What kind of couple were they?
The man is almost fifty and looks like he is in his thirties, while the woman is even more so. She is in her early forties and looks like a freshly graduated college student with not even a single wrinkle on her face.
"Director Ding, you look so young."
"Really? Thank you for the compliment!"
As for women, no one cares about their appearance, but Ding Qiunan is still a little wary of this, who is obviously sent by his superiors to supervise his man's translator.
Li Yunli could also feel that Director Ding seemed to have some resistance to her. She knew that they must have guessed part of the purpose of her superiors sending her here.
However, none of them could do anything about this matter. They said it was supervision, but in fact it was a disguised form of protection for Li Chu from the superiors.
At least she, a translator with no interest entanglement, is with me, so that nothing will be unclear in the future.
