Chapter 384: Chapter 161: Lu Xuan’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Proposal_2

However, the words were already spoken, like water spilled, she bragged at the meeting, and now she didn’t know how to explain it to everyone, especially Lu Xuan. She still wanted to provide Lu Xuan with better medical conditions, especially in the inpatient department.

But things didn’t go as planned.

The venture collapsed halfway through.

Hu Meiqiao had no choice but to abandon this idea.

She wanted to try again, but even Ma Shanjun couldn’t solve it; as the director of a Health Center, she was even less likely to do so.

Moreover, Ma Shanjun had specially sought out Yi Gang for this issue but to no avail. Hu Meiqiao no longer knew what hope she had.

She was not one to give up easily, but reality forced her to abandon it.

"I’ll have a chat with Lu later."

Hu Meiqiao poured herself a glass of plain water and sighed.

...

Meanwhile.

Ma Shanjun hung up the phone, also with a worried expression, but soon he figured it out. He had tried his best in this matter and had a clear conscience; he couldn’t solve it anyway.

"Forget it, not thinking about it anymore, going home."

It was Saturday, he wasn’t supposed to work today, but he had to make a call to Yi Gang for this matter.

Fortunately, Yi Gang was also available; otherwise, it might have had to wait until next Monday.

The key was, Yi Gang, as a deputy, was usually very busy, making it hard to find a time during workdays.

He had no choice but to choose today.

After organizing the documents, Ma Shanjun got up to leave, but just then, his phone, about to be put into his pocket, rang. Ma Shanjun wondered who could be calling. Seeing that it was from Mr. Yi, he quickly put down his things, returned to his seat, and answered the phone:

"Mr. Yi, what can I do for you?"

"Old Ma, haven’t gone home, have you?"

"No, still at the office, just about to leave. You see, today’s a rest day, nothing much going on, planned to see you on Monday fearing you might not have time, so I chose today."

"If you haven’t gone home, bring your documents from this morning and come to the district office again. I have something to discuss with you. Also, bring your old subordinate, the director of Qiu City Health Center, Hu Meiqiao, along as well."

"What?"

"What ’what’!"

"No, you’re looking for us because..."

Yi Gang replied gruffly, "There’s been a breakthrough regarding the Health Center. I thought since I just looked at the documents, we could set the tone today."

Ma Shanjun suddenly understood, hurriedly saying, "Okay, okay, I’ll notify Hu Meiqiao immediately, and we’ll come over to the district right away."

"However, why has there suddenly been a breakthrough in this matter?" Ma Shanjun asked with a puzzled face.

Yi Gang chuckled but didn’t elaborate, "You and Dean Hu come over first; I’ll explain when you arrive, and it’s too complex to discuss over the phone."

Seeing Yi Gang didn’t intend to explain over the phone, despite his curiosity, Ma Shanjun knew better than to ask further and agreed.

After finishing the call with Yi Gang, Ma Shanjun immediately called Hu Meiqiao.

Hu Meiqiao was still sipping water, thinking about how to explain it to Lu Xuan next Monday. Seeing another call from Ma Shanjun, she assumed her old leader felt guilty for not solving the matter, she picked up the call and said, "Old leader, you really shouldn’t worry about this. When I went to you, I knew it’d be difficult to resolve, not succeeding isn’t your fault, right?"

"Moreover, you even contacted Mr. Yi for me, if I, Hu Meiqiao, still blamed you, wouldn’t that be ungrateful?"

Hearing this, Ma Shanjun realized that Hu Meiqiao was overthinking, and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "This isn’t about that, surely you, Dean Hu, don’t think I feel guilty for not getting it done? I’m your leader, you asked me for help, I tried and it didn’t work out, how could I feel guilty for you?"

"This..."

Hu Meiqiao was embarrassed.

The next moment, she heard Ma Shanjun chuckling, "Alright, enough with the banter, are you at home?"

"Yes."

"If you’re free, come over to the district office. Actually, even if you’re busy, you need to come. It’s not me who wants to see you, it’s Mr. Yi. He said there’s been a breakthrough regarding the Health Center and wants you to report on the situation. He’ll explain why when we get there."

"Really?"

Hu Meiqiao thought she misheard, there’s been a breakthrough at the Health Center? Yi Gang wants her to report? Could it be true?

"Didn’t you just say there was no way? Even Mr. Yi couldn’t do anything, so how come there’s suddenly a breakthrough?"

"I don’t know either."

Ma Shanjun was quite puzzled too: "I think the same as you, since Mr. Yi said it couldn’t be done, then there surely is no way. Mr. Yi wouldn’t go to the top leaders just for this matter; he’d definitely do his best to help, but you know how difficult it is to get this project approved. So when I went to find Mr. Yi, I didn’t have much hope, and that was indeed the case. But suddenly, Mr. Yi said there’s been a breakthrough. Maybe it’s related to something handled by the district office?"

Ma Shanjun speculated.

"What thing?"

Hu Meiqiao was puzzled.

"It’s not really a secret, but once I tell you, don’t spread it around, or else if they decide to investigate, you and I will be in trouble."

Since Ma Shanjun said this, Hu Meiqiao realized this probably involved higher-ups, and at a significant level, otherwise her old leader wouldn’t be so serious. Thinking of this, Hu Meiqiao immediately said, "Don’t worry, I won’t let it slip."
