Chapter 963 The backbone of the Republic!
This is Li Xiangnan's second visit to Zhongnanhai.
Where is Shuqingyuan?
It is the barracks for the garrison troops and also the dormitory area for office staff.
Tan Wanli’s dormitory should also be here.
This small garden, located in the northeast corner of the South China Sea and built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, is similar in style to Jingxinzhai in Beihai Park.
In the park, there are buildings such as the "Flowing Water Sound" Pavilion, Baoguang Room, Pengying Zaiwang Hall, Yunhui Tower, Qingyin Pavilion, Rizhi Pavilion, Wanzi Corridor, and Double-ring Wanshou Pavilion. Their shapes are simple and heavy, and they are ingeniously designed. While walking through the park, one can't help but be impressed by the heavy sense of history.
"Little Li!"
But today, Li Xiangnan was not in the mood to appreciate this scenic spot, and apparently the person who greeted him did not either.
Li Xiangnan had just turned a corridor with Song Yingxin and Jian Jingzhe when the person waiting at the end ran over.
"Dr. Lu!" He walked over quickly and said bluntly, "I have seen Ambassador Tan's medical records!"
"That's good!" Lu Dingkun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after a few pleasantries, he took him to a dormitory with three doors, and said anxiously, "I think we should have told you everything about the welcome party..."
Song Yingxin, who was standing beside the two of them, nodded and said, "Doctor Lu, I have already said what I should say!"
"Please!" Jian Jingzhe nodded slightly towards the two of them.
Lu Dingkun nodded and said, "Counselor Jian, I'll have to trouble you again. Ask someone to bring two more medicine pots and a medicine decoction stove! The sooner the better!"
"No trouble, it's my job!" Jian Jingzhe immediately said, "Leader Song, I'll be back soon!"
"Don't worry about me, just do your thing!" Song Yingxin waved his hand.
Jian Jingzhe walked quickly to the corridor on the right. When he turned, he looked back at Li Xiangnan and nodded slightly at him.
"You come in with me!"
After Li Xiangnan withdrew his gaze, Lu Dingkun pulled his arm and led him into the house.
After entering the house, there are three rooms on the left, middle and right. The windows are clean and bright, and the room is open from north to south, making it very bright.
But it’s also very simple.
The midday sun shines through the glass onto an old man sitting on a recliner.
Some familiar faces surrounded the old man, and Dr. Qian and an old Chinese medicine doctor were giving him acupuncture.
"Little Li!"
Seeing him come in, many people who knew him showed joy on their faces and couldn't help but cast friendly glances at him.
Doctor Qian nodded at him and continued giving him acupuncture.
These several old Chinese doctors were familiar to everyone because Mr. Yu Haoran had visited Nianwei Hospital when he was infected with the brain-eating worm.
"Please sit down for a while!" Lu Dingkun poured him tea and also went to pour tea for Song Yingxin.
"Old Lu! Don't worry about me!" Song Yingxin waved his hand, not wanting him to take care of himself anymore, and went to the tea cabinet to make tea.
Li Xiangnan saw several staff members standing nervously by the south-facing window, looking extremely anxious. He knew that they must have been kicked out by this group of old Chinese doctors to make room for Tan Wanli to treat patients.
He looked at Tan Wanli who was sleeping on the bench, feeling both pity and respect in his heart.
Ambassador Tan has black and white hair and two thick eyebrows that are particularly eye-catching. He looks heroic and has extraordinary spirit.
This was the first generation of diplomats of the Republic who dedicated their lives to the international reputation and honor of their motherland.
Years of hard work and selflessness have caused the corners of his mouth to be a little crooked, and his once handsome face has also become a little disproportionate.
Li Xiangnan clenched his fists and felt a strong will to complete the task.
Tan Wanli’s face is his face and the face of the country.
This diplomat stationed at John Bull laid a solid foundation of character in the British Isles and created irreplaceable soil for our country's national character to leap forward.
The Duke of Winton's visit to China was the result of his decades of unremitting efforts.
If the Duke comes and Ambassador Tan does not meet him, the other party will feel neglected and disregards international diplomatic etiquette, which will really affect the progress of many subsequent things.
"Little Li!"
At this time Lu Dingkun waved at him who was in a trance, and Li Xiangnan realized that Tan Wanli's acupuncture had finished.
He stood up and walked over, shaking hands with several veteran experts.
Doctor Qian apologized, "I had no choice but to ask you to come here so urgently! Comrade Jingzhe should have explained everything to you, right?"
"Well! Doctor Qian, what do you need me to do now?" Li Xiangnan nodded and got straight to the point.
Jian Jingzhe came in with two staff members carrying medicine jars. He happened to hear these words and was a little surprised. After quietly giving them instructions, he stood quietly beside the bookcase and watched.
"Old Qian!" Lu Dingkun patted Doctor Qian, "You give me the acupuncture, and I'll explain!"
"Okay!" Doctor Qian waved his hand, and started rotating the silver needles with another doctor to give Tan Wanli acupuncture massage.
"Xiao Li!" Lu Dingkun also got straight to the point: "Comrade Jingzhe's idea is to let the experts of the Health Bureau think of a way to allow Comrade Tan Wanli to stand up within two days and successfully attend the three-day important meeting! If it were up to us to do it, I admit that we can't do it! Our treatment methods have always been relatively stable, you know! We have also asked 301 and the Veteran Cadre Bureau, and they can't do such a radical request..."
As he spoke, Lu Dingkun looked at Jian Jingzhe with a hint of apology.
Song Yingxin put down his teacup, stood up and walked over, saying, "Due to some historical reasons, the top leaders of John Bull have always looked down on our country, and even held hostile prejudices! One of the important reasons for the Duke of Winton's visit to my country this time was the mediation of Comrade Wan Li in the early stage. In other words, the Duke of Winton only trusts Comrade Tan Wanli in terms of trust! Without him, this three-day negotiation might very well turn into a three-day tour for the Duke of Winton!"
Although he had anticipated the role that Tan Wanli would play, Li Xiangnan never thought that he would be so important!
This shows the contributions made by Mr. Tan in diplomacy.
"Uncle Song, Mr. Lu, I understand!" Li Xiangnan nodded and said, "Let's send him to Nianwei Hospital for a CT scan first!"
An important reason why Lu Dingkun and his colleagues were so prudent was that their understanding of Tan Wanli's lesions and details was not as comprehensive as that of CT, and they could only rely on their long-term experience in traditional Chinese medicine.
Li Xiangnan naturally wanted to do a CT scan first, and then think of some unique methods based on the results...
"no!"
Unexpectedly, Jian Jingzhe directly shook his head and rejected the proposal.
"???"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
Tan Wanli is already in this state, why doesn't he go for a CT scan? Quickly determine the site of the disease? Is he wasting time here?
Looking at Jian Jingzhe's unbelievably calm expression, Li Xiangnan felt a sense of inexplicable anger in his heart...
"Xiangnan! Mr. Tan is indeed not suitable to go to Nianwei Hospital for a CT scan! This is why I asked you to come here directly..."
“I’m not a CT machine either!”
Hearing Lu Dingkun's words, Li Xiangnan was stunned. He turned around and looked at the other person in shock.
Song Yingxin patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Reporters from John Bull Reuters arrived in our country a few days ago. If Comrade Wan Li went to Nianwei Hospital to take a CT scan, this matter would be widely reported by them! At this time, any public opinion that is favorable to John Bull will be used as a bargaining chip and bargaining chip for negotiation! We can't take any risks!"
Then let’s go in private!
Li Xiangnan almost blurted out these words.
But he quickly denied it himself!
Given Tan Wanli's physical condition, it is definitely not suitable for him to leave at this time.
When traveling, they are either pushed in a wheelchair or carried on a stretcher, as they are too conspicuous.
The closer the negotiation time is, the more sensitive the Reuters reporters will become. Even if I go out at night to consult a doctor, I might be photographed by them!
And now only Nianwei Hospital has a CT scanner...
A car drove out of Zhongnanhai and entered Yenching University, and then Nianwei Hospital was blocked!
If this matter were to be used by someone with ulterior motives, I wonder what kind of uproar it would cause!
You really can’t go to Nianwei Hospital!
Li Xiangnan understood Jian Jingzhe's concerns, and also understood the mentality of Dr. Lu and others who hoped that he, a junior with sharp thinking, could come and give advice. He also knew the country's considerations.
"Li Xiangnan!"
Jian Jingzhe looked at him earnestly.
"I hope you can find a way to help Ambassador Tan get through this smoothly! I will do my best to cooperate with you in whatever you want to do!"
Li Xiangnan looked into her eyes, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
He won't promise anything to others easily.
Promises are always a matter of promise and commitment.
If you say it, you have to do it.
Dr. Lu and his colleagues in traditional Chinese medicine can treat Tan Wanli little by little through slow intervention. Even without CT, they can find the lesion within a certain period of time and prescribe the right medicine!
But obviously, Tan Wanli couldn't wait!
The Veteran Affairs Bureau and 301 Hospital do not have CT machines. For stroke treatment, they do not know the lesion and still have to seek help from Nianwei Hospital. Without help, they can only adopt conservative treatment.
Is the CT machine no longer usable?
Can't use...
Tan Wanli can't go...
Li Xiangnan began to pace around the room, thinking about countermeasures. The nervous Doctor Lu couldn't help but light a cigarette for him and pass it to him.
He himself is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and the progress of his stroke treatment is definitely comparable to that of Dr. Lu and others, and it also takes time!
If we want to achieve the legendary feat of making Tan Wanli stand up in a short period of time, we still have to immediately determine the lesion area, and we have to use a CT machine!
Can’t go to Nianwei Hospital!
Then let the CT machine come over!
"Here comes the pen and paper!"
Li Xiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"Here!" Jian Jingzhe was a little surprised and quickly took out a pen and notebook from her bag. She didn't expect Li Xiangnan to come up with an idea so quickly.
He quickly wrote down a list, adding and subtracting items, and finally flicked the ash on the windowsill with satisfaction.
Turning back, he smiled brightly, "Uncle Song, I want to call Song Yi!"
"My daughter?" Song Yingxin was stunned. "How can she help you?"
"The phone is here!" Jian Jingzhe came out from behind a desk holding a red telephone.
Li Xiangnan walked over and said to the people around him: "Since we can't go to Nianwei Hospital and use the CT machine, let's have the CT machine delivered to our door!"
He grabbed the microphone, slapped a list on the table, and said in a loud voice: "Counselor Jian, I want these people to be by my side for the next five days! I promise to complete this mission successfully!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked...
