Chapter 886: The Shield at the Hongmen Banquet
When studying medicine at Yenching University, one cannot avoid going to a specialized medical school.
That is Peking Union Medical College.
When seeing a doctor in Yanjing, you naturally have to go to a hospital.
That is Union Hospital.
Whether in terms of medical care, teaching, and scientific research, or in terms of its complete disciplines, strong technical force, outstanding specialty, and multi-disciplinary comprehensive advantages, as it develops over time, Union Hospital has become the country's leading large-scale comprehensive hospital.
Compared with it, the current Nianwei Hospital, whether in terms of comprehensive strength or popularity, is as small as an ant seeing an elephant.
Now, the only advantage of Nianwei Hospital is that the only CT scanner in the country is located in the hospital's imaging room.
This is the hard power that can be shown off, and also the confidence of Li Xiangnan at present.
Li Xiangnan also knew something about Zhao Youcai before.
Zhao Youcai is one of the vice presidents of Union Hospital, and is the executive vice president of the hospital. He is mainly responsible for the daily management and operations of the hospital and is considered a very powerful person.
Li Xiangnan really didn't expect that he just came to the Ministry of Health to see the status of the approval documents of Nianwei Hospital, but was invited to a dinner by Jiang Xingwang by accident. He didn't expect to meet Zhao Youcai from Union Hospital here!
Don't be fooled by his smiling face, he is also very polite to you.
But Li Xiangnan understood that it was basic courtesy towards others at his level, and had nothing to do with his true personal cultivation.
"arrive!"
While Li Xiangnan was lost in thought, there was not much greeting in the car. The carriage was silent and time passed in a flash. Soon the car stopped.
Li Xiangnan looked up after getting off the car, and sighed in his heart that there was something interesting about the game that Zhao Youcai had put together.
Hongbin Tower.
He had dined here several times, and it was the place on important occasions that established his status in Yanjing.
"Chief Jiang, please! Dean Li, please!" Zhao Youcai politely went up the stairs first, stood at one step, then extended his hand and invited the two of them into the building with a smile.
"Please!" Jiang Xingwang smiled slightly and nodded to Li Xiangnan.
"Please come in, both of you!" Li Xiangnan stretched out his hand with a smile, and took the initiative to walk to the back side.
When he reached the top of the stairs, he looked back calmly.
Sure enough, the Song family's car followed quietly.
At this moment, Li Xiangnan completely relaxed. He quietly gestured towards the car and then walked in.
A waiter led us to the third floor.
Elegant mountain tea.
The decoration is extremely refined and elegant.
"Section Chief Jiang, Dean Zhao!"
As soon as I entered, there were already two people waiting and they came to greet me immediately.
After shaking hands, the two men immediately walked towards Li Xiangnan with a smile, but their steps were one in front and one behind, and their attitudes were one close and one far away.
"Is this Director Li Xiangnan of Nianwei Hospital? A rising star in Yanjing?"
"Nice to meet you! Comrade Li Xiangnan is well-known in Yanjing now. I see he is really a handsome man!"
Zhao Youcai introduced them, "President Li, this is Section Chief Zhu Xuanlong of the Land Bureau's Approval Section, and this is Boss Zang from Qiaocheng!"
From the Land Bureau’s approval department?
Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and immediately narrowed his eyes.
It is true that he is wary of Zhao Youcai, but he will have to deal with Zhu Xuanlong's approval department when the construction of Nianwei Hospital goes through the approval process in the future!
Unexpectedly, by chance, I would be able to sit at the same table with Chief Zhu for dinner.
Is this a blessing in disguise?
Li Xiangnan was not happy at the first sight, but smiled calmly and took the initiative to shake hands, "Hello, Section Chief, hello, Boss Zang! Don't call me Dean Li, call me Xiao Li, I'm still a student, in front of you, I'm still a junior!"
Now when he speaks, he is mostly low-key and humble.
To do this to Zhu Xuanlong, it was a taboo to talk about deep things when one was new to the relationship and it was a proactive move to lower one's status.
This is even more true for Boss Zang. Now Zhao Youcai is only telling half the truth and hiding the other half, obviously not wanting to know Boss Zang's true identity.
He now has no way of figuring out Boss Zang's business, so naturally he has to treat the other party in a high position and avoid any neglect.
"Oh, Xiao Li is quite modest! Let's drink a few more glasses tonight!"
Unexpectedly, the one who spoke to show closeness was not Zhu Xuanlong, but Boss Zang next to him. This surprised Li Xiangnan.
"Of course, of course!" Li Xiangnan responded by sitting down with a smile.
After noticing that Zhu Xuanlong glanced at him, he no longer focused his eyes on him, but started chatting with Section Chief Jiang, appearing quite unenthusiastic.
Zhao Youcai walked to the door and called out. Immediately, a pretty waitress of about eighteen or nineteen years old came into the private room. He smiled slightly and said to the seated people:
"How do you drink this wine tonight?"
Li Xiangnan did not speak, but gently sipped the Biluochun tea handed to him by the waiter, carefully savoring the aftertaste and guessing the mentality of the people at the table.
He noticed that when Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Zhu Xuanlong and Boss Zang both subconsciously looked at Jiang Xingwang.
Obviously, the person with the highest status here is Section Chief Jiang Xingwang.
Although Zhu Xuanlong is also a section chief, one is from the Land Bureau and the other is from the Ministry of Health, so they cannot be compared.
"I took the liberty of bringing Xiao Li to the dinner, please forgive me! I really feel a little uncomfortable with my stomach today..." Jiang Xingwang laughed and shifted the focus of his drinking to Li Xiangnan with just one sentence.
understood!
Li Xiangnan really understood!
Today, Section Chief Jiang is using himself as a shield!
He has to drink the wine and make these three people comfortable, only then will Section Chief Jiang be happy.
"That's easy!"
Li Xiangnan was about to stand up and speak when Zhu Xuanlong beside him suddenly smiled and opened the bottle of Moutai on the table.
Five exquisite transparent glasses were placed on the table.
Zhu Xuanlong stood up, grabbed the Moutai and started pouring the wine.
The mellow wine was lifted up by a line, drawing an arc in the air, and was illuminated by the lights in the room, shining brightly.
His skillful movements were unconsciously pleasing to the eye.
"Chief Jiang, yours!"
After pouring a glass, Zhu Xuanlong smiled and lifted the glass and handed it over, saying, "It's yours tonight!"
Just one drink for the whole night?
The rest of them...
Li Xiangnan understood what Chief Zhu meant.
Blah, blah, blah, blah…
Zhu Xuanlong kept pouring the wine, and soon it filled the other four cups.
"For Dean Zhao! For Boss Zang!" Zhu Xuanlong passed out the wine glasses with a smile, and finally picked up the remaining two glasses, one in each hand, and stood up.
Li Xiangnan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Xiao Li!" Zhu Xuanlong said with a smile, "I am a big drinker, especially when I see young talents, I can't help but make friends with them! You are amazing! Let's go! Let's drink first!"
Bang!
Li Xiangnan had just taken his wine glass when he was bumped by the other party. Then Zhu Xuanlong tilted his head back and drank the two taels of Moutai in one gulp.
Then he looked at Li Xiangnan with a smile, held the wine glass upside down and gestured, without a drop of wine spilling out.
Glancing at Zhao Youcai, Jiang Xingwang and Boss Zang who were looking at him with smiles on their faces, Li Xiangnan knew that he would have to drink to death tonight!
"I wish the Section Chief a good alcohol tolerance!"
Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, and without hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank the whole bottle in one gulp.
Clean, decisive, without any hesitation.
"Xiao Li has a good alcohol tolerance!"
When he finished drinking, Section Chief Jiang immediately grinned.
"Good!" Zhu Xuanlong patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder, glanced at him with disdain, and made a gesture to sit down and wink at Boss Zang, but he didn't expect that Li Xiangnan grabbed his arm before he even touched the ground.
He turned his head in slight surprise and saw Li Xiangnan looking at him with a smile.
"Chief Zhu! I like to drink, too. When I see a young talent, I can't help but have a couple of extra drinks! You and I really hit it off right away!"
Li Xiangnan looked at him with a smile and started pouring wine with his right hand.
"That cup just now was just an appetizer. We said we would drink two more cups. Any less would not show our sincerity and friendship! Come on, I'll drink it!"
Duang!
As soon as Li Xiangnan raised his second cup, he drank it all.
Then continue pouring the wine.
Zhu Xuanlong's eyelids twitched and he stood up silently.
"Good things come in pairs! But we have the Three Yangs, which is a good omen! Chief, our friendship is all in the wine!"
Duang!
After another glass of wine, Li Xiangnan turned the glass upside down in his hand, then looked across with a smile on his face.
"..."
Zhu Xuanlong's face began to turn green...
