Chapter 10: A gentleman values wealth, but acquires it through proper means

A voice suddenly came from behind: "Zhang Yang, why are you wandering around instead of studying properly in the rotation department during your internship? Don't you want to graduate?" Zhang Yang turned around and saw Gao Wei's sullen face. Without a second thought, he knew this guy was upset because he saw Zhang Yang chatting animatedly with Zuo Xiaoqing. Zuo Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue playfully at Zhang Yang behind Gao Wei, looking charming and cute. Zhang Yang smiled faintly; he had no intention of arguing with Gao Wei. In his view, Gao Wei was clearly not on his level. Slowly standing up, he grabbed the blue cloth bag and said, "Fine, if you don't want it, I'll return it to him, so people won't gossip."

Han Chuanbao glanced at Zuo Xiaoqing, who was beside Zhang Yang. Although he was still admiring Zuo Xiaoqing's beauty in his heart, his expression and gaze had become much more restrained. He bowed to Zuo Xiaoqing like a primary school student and said, "Sister, it is all my fault, no matter how many mistakes there are. Please do not hold it against me, as you are magnanimous and should not stoop to my level."

I am not hungry!" Zuo Xiaoqing coldly declined.

Zuo Xiaoqing stopped in her tracks, looking at Zhang Yang with some anger: "Is there any need for you to explain your actions to me? We are merely coincidentally interning at the same hospital; you are you, and I am I. I do not wish to inquire into your matters, nor is it necessary for me to do so!" At this point, she felt an inexplicable sense of panic. What was happening to her? It was just a trivial matter, yet it had such a significant impact on her emotions. Did she really not want to inquire about Zhang Yang's affairs? Did she truly not care about this junior in front of her, as she claimed? The answer might very well be negative. Zuo Xiaoqing, somewhat flustered, avoided Zhang Yang's gaze: "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood..." Her long black eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her fair, delicate face suddenly flushed with two patches of red, as she fled towards the distance.

I invite you to dinner!" Zhang Yang caught up with Zuo Xiaoqing

Zhang Yang laughed and said: "I told you, Chief Han, don't be so formal. Aren't you afraid that calling me this way will make me feel old?"

A gentleman values wealth obtained through proper means; I do not lack this little bit of silver

That money is my consultation fee, earned through labor, so don't overthink it

The speaker is indifferent, but the listener is attentive. Gao Wei's face suddenly turned red as he blocked Zhang Yang's path: "Zhang Yang, who are you talking about? Clarify it for me!"

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, and suddenly a surprised voice came from a distance: "Zhang Yang!"

Yang Yang ... ... I heard that you encountered a bit of trouble, so I came to check on you

From the lengthy official journey starting as the deputy director of the Family Planning Office, how does Zhang, a prominent official, transform from an unestablished grassroots cadre into someone who infiltrates the system? Can he maintain his consistent assertiveness in the political arena?

"Do whatever you want!" Zhang Yang said impatiently. Seeing Gao Wei still blocking his way, Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed. He pushed Gao Wei, causing him to stumble and nearly fall to the ground: "Good dogs don't block the road!"

Zhang Yang felt a surge of warmth in his heart and was about to chase after when a white van stopped in front of them. Han Chuanbao got out of the vehicle. Upon seeing Han Chuanbao's sudden appearance, Zuo Xiaoqing was taken aback, as the impression he left on her yesterday was quite negative, resembling a typical street thug. She instinctively took a step back and moved closer to Zhang Yang. When danger arises, anyone would instinctively seek a place of safety, and Zhang Yang undoubtedly provided Zuo Xiaoqing with that sense of security. Zuo Xiaoqing looked up at Zhang Yang and found him still grinning at her. Unable to help herself, she bit her lip, reminding herself not to smile, yet the smile was already evident on her charming face. Just as the great doctor Zhang was about to tease a few words to express his inner dissatisfaction, Han Chuanbao had already approached him, respectfully calling out, "Brother Zhang!"

"Ah, I never expected you to be so noble and principled!" said Zuo Xiaoqing, unable to resist teasing.

Zuo Xiaoqing suddenly slowed her pace and, without leaving a trace, fiercely stepped on Zhang Yang's foot with her slender high heels. Zhang Yang did not expect that a lady like Zuo Xiaoqing would resort to such a vicious trick. The pain made him jump up on the spot like a monkey. Zuo Xiaoqing suddenly quickened her pace, her long black ponytail bouncing joyfully at the back of her head. Eventually, she couldn't help but lower her head, her shoulders trembling like petals in the morning breeze, as she stifled a laugh.

Xu Lihua saw her son from a distance, but because Zhang Yang was standing in front of the car talking to Liu Haitao, she began to doubt what she was seeing. It was not until Zhang Yang walked towards her that Xu Lihua dared to confirm that the spirited young man before her was indeed her son. Looking at Zhang Yang's outstanding figure, Xu Lihua, as a mother, felt for the first time that her son had grown up, and a feeling arose in her heart that was indistinguishable between joy and sorrow.

Zhang Yang smiled to himself, thinking that he had already received the 5,000 yuan consultation fee, so why would he care about such trivial matters? Even if he wanted it, he had to put on a grand front in front of the girl; this is what one calls image management

Zhang Yang did not immediately pursue her, yet a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips. As a renowned physician, he had encountered countless women in the past. From Zuo Xiaoqing's earlier unusual behavior, he could already tell that her calm demeanor was evidently disturbed by his presence. Zhang Yang did not deny that he harbored a somewhat unique fondness for Zuo Xiaoqing. However, his primary focus remained on adapting to this world and familiarizing himself with this era. In other words, he was not prepared to embark on a romantic relationship. When Zhang, the esteemed physician, realized that something might soon occur, he felt a slight tension within himself, accompanied by a hint of anticipation.

Yuan Wenli was choked into silence for quite a while, her right index finger tapping twice on Zhang Yang's head: "You, a mere graduate of a nursing school, think you can become the director?" She thought to herself, I, as the head of the Science and Education Department, have spent over ten years to reach this position, and you really are unaware of your own limitations.

"Mom! What brings you here?" Although Zhang Yang did not have deep feelings for this mother, seeing the concern and affection hidden in her eyes still stirred an inexplicable warmth within him

Zuo Xiaoqing and Zhang Yang exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat peculiar. Han Chuanbao was already around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and she did not wish to respond to being called "sister".

At this moment, Zhang Yang was unaware that Secretary Li of the county committee was conspiring with Captain Ge of the county criminal police team against him. After treating Han Chuanbao, he brought the blue cloth bag to Zuo Xiaoqing and placed it in front of her: "Take a look and see if anything is missing inside"

Zhang Yang retorted to Yuan Wenli: "If I continue my internship for another six months, can I become the dean? Can I become the secretary? Can you guarantee that I will hold an official position in the future?"

Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed by his persistent nagging: "I say, Gao Wei, why are you being so dull? Have I provoked you? Why are you clinging to me like a mad dog? If you like someone, go bother them instead. What does it have to do with me?"

Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at the items in the cloth bag and couldn't help but laugh: "Their efficiency is indeed high, but it's only in terms of shopping."

As Zhang Yang walked out of the administrative office building, it was nearly noon, the time for lunch. On the main path leading to the outpatient hall, he encountered Zuo Xiaoqing, whose expression was also somewhat unfriendly. Her beautiful eyes coldly regarded him. It was no wonder that Zuo Xiaoqing was angry; with all the commotion he had caused, nearly everyone was now aware of the fact that Gao Wei was pursuing her. Zuo Xiaoqing was a low-key person and disliked being the center of attention. Yet, this troublesome boy, Zhang Yang, insisted on pushing her into the spotlight.

Is the dean very important? Even a seventh-rank official is not worth mentioning. If I were to take on this role, I would need to think it over carefully

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at the spirited and self-satisfied junior, feeling somewhat helpless. Recalling what had happened last night, she couldn't help but feel curious. She glanced around, and seeing that no one was nearby, she quietly asked, "Are you really the nephew of County Party Secretary Li Changyu?"

Zhang Yang was merely speaking casually and did not intend to extort Zuo Xiaoqing. He laughed and said, "So generous, but these things are not mine. I cannot accept rewards for unearned merit."

Zuo Xiaoqing saw Zhang Yang in a daze and chuckled softly, "So many items, this is quite a considerable fortune. Since they are sincerely giving gifts, you might as well accept them."

Xu Lihua cast a timid glance in Liu Haitao's direction. In her view, those who could drive a car were individuals of status and standing. Although Liu Haitao's attire did not resemble that of a bad person, it was entirely normal for Xu Lihua to feel an excessive sense of vigilance due to her concerns for her son

In the following three days, Zuo Xiaoqing did not see Zhang Yang. She even suspected that this detestable fellow was deliberately avoiding her. However, after inquiring indirectly with Hong Ling, she learned that Zhang Yang had not come to the department for his internship during these days. It was said that he had already been placed on the hospital's blacklist and was among the few bad elements who were about to be expelled.

Li Changyu felt his anger dissipate somewhat upon hearing this, and his voice lowered: "Bring him to Weiyuan for dinner right away; I have important matters to discuss with him." After saying this, fearing that Liu Haitao might have other thoughts, he added, "His father called from out of town..."

Due to the inconvenience of traveling back and forth to the dormitory, Zhang Yang decided to stay at the Youth Hotel opposite the county library, opting for a luxurious standard room priced at 58 yuan per day. The room is equipped with 24-hour hot water, a color television, a refrigerator, and a telephone, along with laundry services. Zhang Yang is not afraid to spend money and does not concern himself with the amount spent; his greatest fear is having money with no place to spend it. If it were not for Zhang Yang returning to the dormitory to retrieve some items, he would not have known that Liu Haitao had been looking for him for a full three days.

Han Chuanbao nodded awkwardly, watching Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing walk away, and let out a quiet sigh. After Zhang Yang reset Han Chuanbao's arm, Han Wei was still not completely at ease, so she took her son to find the old director of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. After taking new X-rays, they discovered that Han Chuanbao's arm had fully recovered, which even left the old director in awe. Han Chuanbao recalled Zhang Yang's impressive performance of defeating three opponents alone the previous night, and felt even more fearful. Not only was this person highly skilled, but he also had a strong background. Wasn't it just asking for trouble to be enemies with someone like that? Moreover, after meeting Wang Zhongke in the morning, Han Chuanbao became more aware of the negative impact his reckless behavior might have on his father. Therefore, he immediately came to give Zhang Yang money and apologize in person, hoping to mitigate the negative effects of this incident through his efforts. Sometimes, an event can change a person. Han Chuanbao's nature was not too bad, and through this incident, he unexpectedly matured.

Since Liu Haitao has made this bold inference, his attitude towards Zhang Yang can only become increasingly respectful. A love child is still a dragon's offspring; even if he is not in the limelight, his status is countless times stronger than that of a mere driver like himself: "Zhang Yang, Secretary Li wants you to go to Wei Garden for dinner tonight"

Yuan Wenli picked up the magazine again, ready to throw it at him, but upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, she couldn't help but laugh. Once she started laughing, the seriousness of the situation diminished significantly. Faced with Zhang, the thick-skinned doctor, it became difficult for Yuan Wenli to maintain a stern expression and reprimand him. She sighed and said, "If it weren't for your mother's sake, I wouldn't bother with you at all!" She pointed to a chair beside her, indicating for Zhang Yang to sit down next to her, and earnestly advised, "Zhang Yang, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you used to be such an obedient good child. What has happened recently? The incident with Dean Zhou hasn't even settled down, and now you've offended Dr. Gao again. How do you plan to write your internship evaluation in the future? Your mother has worked so hard to raise you, supporting your education, hoping that you will achieve something in the future. With only six months left until your graduation, my intention in getting you an internship at the county hospital was to help you leave a good impression in various departments. When it comes time for assignments, I hoped you could secure a position in an auxiliary department. With this stable job, your future life and your mother's situation would gradually improve, Zhang Yang..."

In recent days, Zhang Yang has not gone anywhere else but has immersed himself in the Springyang County Library. He is studying "The Twenty-Four Histories," "The Official System Through the Ages," "The Study of Thick Black Theory," and even "Das Kapital," as well as "Selected Works of Mao Zedong" and "Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping." As the saying goes, Zhang Yang is engrossed in his books like a hungry person diving into bread; he is continuously absorbing nourishment, preparing for his long official career. He has considerable confidence in Secretary Li, believing that this temporary eunuch secretary will not disappoint him.

Zhang Yang frowned; he had intended to get into the car, but he noticed a thin figure standing at the distant corner. Despite the thickening dusk, Zhang Yang recognized at a glance that it was his mother, Xu Lihua

Liu Haitao held the phone with a smile, saying: "Secretary Li, Secretary Li, I have found Zhang Yang, and I am with him right now"

Zhang Yang finally understood. Last night, he had a solid night's sleep, while Wang Zhongke, Han Weizheng, and their group had not rested at all, utilizing their respective channels to search for the lost items belonging to Zuo Xiaoqing. This was the reason for the pile of things before him. The reason they worked so hard was due to the powerful forces hidden behind Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing, which had never been revealed. Zhang Yang suddenly realized a truth: a fist is merely a tangible weapon, while power is an intangible force. A fist can harm a person's body, but power's intimidation and threat penetrate directly to the heart. Clearly, the latter is far more formidable than the former. Thus, the pile of items before him was a testament to the strong forces concealed behind Zhang Yang and Zuo Xiaoqing. Zhang Yang suddenly grasped this principle: those who excel in using fists are merely warriors, while those who excel in wielding power are the true masters. Having comprehended this truth, Zhang Yang felt an increased yearning for power and couldn't help but recall Li Changyu, who had yet to provide him with a response. Could this scoundrel, the county party secretary, truly be content to live his life as a mere eunuch?

Zhang Yang picked up the newspaper bundle and put it away, then handed the blue cloth bag that Han Weizheng had compensated for this morning to Han Chuanbao, saying: "I haven't touched anything inside, you can check it!" In front of Zuo Xiaoqing, he had to put on a generous demeanor no matter what.

Zuo Xiaoqing finished reading the message on the pager and turned to Zhang Yang, only then noticing his astonished expression, which made her laugh: "This morning, when I just started work, Director Wang from the station police station came by. He helped me and Hong Ling recover the lost items, so..." Her gaze returned to the blue cloth bag: "Everything inside belongs to you now; I don't want it."

Zuo Xiaoqing noticed that he was unwilling to speak, and naturally did not press further; her curiosity was much less than that of other girls. At that moment, the beeping sound of a pager suddenly rang out. Zhang Yang looked towards the bag and found that Zuo Xiaoqing had taken out another pager from the pocket of her white coat. He was momentarily taken aback; hadn't she lost her pager yesterday? After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family, able to buy something worth several thousand yuan just like that, which was beyond the reach of children from poor families.

At this moment, Yuan Wenli had only one thought in her mind: could it be that this child had been provoked in some way, causing him to speak nonsense in broad daylight? However, out of a sense of responsibility towards her old neighbor, Yuan Wenli chose to forgive Zhang Yang's ramblings. She earnestly advised him for over an hour, until Zhang Yang finally agreed to apologize to Gao Wei in person, at which point she ceased her efforts

Gao Wei is known as a flamboyant teacher. In front of so many patients and students, how could he possibly step down? He shouted angrily, "I have never seen a student with such poor quality as you. Fine, I will call the Education Department immediately to see how they will handle you!"

Xu Lihua took Zhang Yang's hand and led him to a nearby streetlight, handing him a plastic bag containing the braised beef and sausages she had brought for him: "I heard from your sister Xu that you've had some issues at the hospital recently." Xu Lihua was undoubtedly an extremely kind mother; having lost her father at a young age, Zhang Yang rarely faced her reprimands. However, after marrying Zhao Tiesheng, Zhang Yang's situation unexpectedly changed so drastically. She was gentle by nature and powerless to alter this harsh reality, and could only strive to protect her son as best as she could.

Zhang Yang held his mother's thin, withered hand and said: "Mom, don't worry about me. It won't be long before you can be proud of me!"

Zhang Yang smiled broadly, and what infuriated Zuo Xiaoqing was that there was no hint of apology in his smile regarding the *book*. Even more outrageous was that he shamelessly asked, "Are you waiting for me because you want to treat me to a meal?"

Doctor Zhang gently raised his right hand, effortlessly catching the magazine that had suddenly swooped down from the air, and then smilingly placed it back on the desk: "Director Yuan, no! Sister Yuan, you are my biological sister. Today's incident is indeed my fault, but Gao Wei is not a good person either. I did not provoke him or invite trouble; why should he pick a fight with me? If he wants to pursue Zuo Xiaoqing, he can do so openly; I have not obstructed him. He is taking revenge on me for personal reasons. What else can you call him if not a mad dog? Sister Yuan, you are my biological sister. Today's incident is indeed my fault, but Gao Wei is not a good person either. I did not provoke him or invite trouble; why should he pick a fight with me? If he wants to pursue Zuo Xiaoqing, he can do so openly; I have not obstructed him. He is taking revenge on me for personal reasons. What else can you call him if not a mad dog?

I now understand what it means to fear the words of others!" Zhang Yang replied in a casual manner.

Han Chuanbao saw her persistence and could only take the blue cloth bag from Zhang Yang's hands: "Brother Zhang, you haven't eaten yet, why not get in the car? I'll treat you to a meal." It was evident that Han Chuanbao was genuinely sincere this time. Many times, winning a man's heart can also be achieved through conquering his body. Of course, Zhang Yang conquered Han Chuanbao's body through his fists. Zhang Yang shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but we have some matters to attend to, so let's pass on it today." Many times, winning a man's heart can also be achieved through conquering his body. Of course, Zhang Yang conquered Han Chuanbao's body through his fists. Zhang Yang shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, but we have some matters to attend to, so let's pass on it today."

"Yang Yang, promise your mother one thing, you must never go astray"

This statement seems somewhat superfluous. Although Liu Haitao is merely a small driver, he is certainly not a fool. During these past few days of searching for Zhang Yang, he fully utilized his inherent detective qualities and thoroughly investigated Zhang Yang's background. He even made a trip to the agricultural machinery factory dormitory, intending only to see if Zhang Yang was home, without any other thoughts at the time. However, Li Changyu's final remark prompted Liu Haitao to entertain some peculiar ideas. Zhang Yang's stepfather clearly works at the agricultural machinery factory, so why did Secretary Li say he was out of town? Secretary Li is a member of the first cohort of university students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, while Zhao Tiesheng is just a worker. Liu Haitao's logical reasoning skills are quite strong, and a series of deductions led him to one conclusion: Zhang Yang's relationship with Li Changyu is undoubtedly complex. Li Changyu's earlier superfluous explanation only deepened Liu Haitao's suspicions, leading him to consider the possibility that Zhang Yang might indeed be Li Changyu's illegitimate son.

If it weren't for Zuo Xiaoqing's consideration of her lady-like image, she would have kicked him out long ago. She held the thick volume of diagnostics tightly against her chest and shot Zhang Yang a fierce glance before striding towards the hospital exit. Her stone-washed blue jeans hugged her slender legs, and her steps were filled with the rhythm of youth. Since arriving in this era, Zhang Yang had developed the habit of looking at women's legs first, as during the Great Sui Dynasty, women typically wore long skirts. Unless they were completely undressed, it was difficult to see them reveal their beautiful legs. Although Zuo Xiaoqing walked quickly, her pace was still slightly slower compared to Zhang Yang's. He kept pace with her and said, "Zuo Xiaoqing, let me treat you to a meal. Seeing you so stingy, making you pay for a meal is harder than killing you."

Han Chuanbao shook his head in fear and trepidation: "This is the compensation from our passenger transport company for your losses, how can I take it back!"

Do not mention Gao Wei; even Zuo Xiaoqing glared at Zhang Yang in anger. This kid truly lacks decorum, as anyone can tell that this statement implicates even himself.

Han Chuanbao respectfully handed a square package wrapped in newspaper to Zhang Yang. A discerning person could tell at a glance that it contained cash. Left Xiaoqing's smile immediately faded, and she thought to herself, "Well, Zhang Yang, taking advantage of this opportunity to amass wealth, you really are something!"

Liu Haitao felt a sense of relief upon seeing Zhang Yang. Over the past three days, he had fully experienced the true meaning of the saying that a leader merely has to speak while subordinates run themselves ragged. Upon careful calculation, he had already made twelve trips to the county people's hospital; even eating meals was not done with such diligence. Liu Haitao reflected on this sentiment, realizing that this job was truly not meant for humans. Before he could even manage to speak with Zhang Yang, Secretary Li's pager went off again. Liu Haitao hurriedly ran to the small convenience store at the dormitory entrance to return a call.

Yuan Wenli's eyes widened: "You little brat, what nonsense are you talking? Don't you want to graduate? What can you do without an internship?"

Zhang Yang could guess without thinking that Yuan Wenli must have said something to her. He smiled faintly and said: "I am perfectly fine, eating well and sleeping soundly. Mom, don't listen to what others are saying. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

That is, I have always been selfless and dedicated to helping others! Although Master Zhang has not been in the 1990s for long, his eloquence has progressed by leaps and bounds. He can now effortlessly recite the classic saying of Comrade Norman Bethune commemorated by Old Master Mao, and it flows off his tongue.

Zhang Yang was lying on Yuan Wenli's desk, his expression still carefree as ever. Although he had a good impression of Yuan Wenli, the neighborly older sister, that did not mean he was willing to continue his internship at the county people's hospital. While yawning, he said, "Sister Yuan, I don't plan to continue my internship, so please don't waste your efforts."

Li Changyu was clearly a bit unhappy, and his tone sounded somewhat stiff over the phone: "Xiao Liu, what on earth is going on? You can't even handle such a small matter? It's been three days, and you still haven't found a single person?"

Zuo Xiaoqing's expression had already shifted from clear to overcast, and she coldly said: "The lost items have been retrieved, I will not take these things."

Liu Haitao is adept at reading people's expressions. Upon noticing Xu Lihua looking in his direction, he immediately feigned nonchalance, took out a cigarette, and lit it. This is a good habit he has cultivated over many years; he never smokes inside the car. Although he has a strong craving for cigarettes, he understands that in this vehicle, he is merely playing the role of a chauffeur, and the environment is meant to be protected for the leaders.

Zuo Xiaoqing shot him a glance, then took out the portion that should belong to Hong Ling from the middle. The rest of the money, along with the Motorola BP machine, was stuffed back into the blue cloth bag, which she then pushed in front of Zhang Yang: "All of this is yours; I don't want anything of dubious origin."

Upon hearing about Zhang Yang's misdeeds, even Yuan Wenli, with her good temper, was infuriated to the point of losing her composure. Her usual way of venting her anger was to slam magazines: "Do you have any idea how much effort I put in to get you an internship at the county hospital? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Seeing Zhang Yang's cheeky grin, she could no longer contain her anger and grabbed the magazine in her hand, throwing it at his head. She had watched Zhang Yang grow up, and in her eyes, this unfortunate boy was almost like her own brother, so there was no need to hold back when they were alone together.

Xu Lihua's eyes were red, and she nodded vigorously, pressing Zhang Yang's hand tightly against her face. Zhang Yang looked at his mother with compassion, and he realized clearly that the inherent fragility of his mother was difficult for him to change

In fact, Zhang Yang has not been idle. After conversing with Yuan Wenli, he has made a decision to no longer continue his internship. He, Zhang, has not yet had the opportunity to truly enjoy this era; everything is novel to him. In his view, time is more precious than money. As someone who has experienced death once, he believes he understands the meaning of life better than others. Therefore, Zhang Yang does not wish to waste his time at the county people's hospital. His medical skills no longer require validation. During the Great Sui Dynasty, the renowned physician Zhang had already reached the pinnacle of Chinese medicine. What kind of feeling is that? In his mind, time is more precious than money. As someone who has experienced death once, he believes he understands the meaning of life better than others. Therefore, Zhang Yang does not wish to waste his time at the county people's hospital. His medical skills no longer require validation. During the Great Sui Dynasty, the renowned physician Zhang had already reached the pinnacle of Chinese medicine. What kind of feeling is that? It is a sense of loneliness that comes with being a master. If the renowned physician Zhang had always lived in the Sui Dynasty, he would surely have quickly grown weary of that life. However, after arriving in this brand new era and becoming Zhang Yang, he discovered a new source of excitement: becoming an official. The renowned physician Zhang either does not take on the role or, if he does, he must excel at it. The renowned physician Zhang is striving to realize this dream.

Zhang Yang also smiled: "Whether it was bought or found, as long as there is enough, that’s all that matters. By the way, the passenger transport company has compensated you and Hong Ling with 1,000 yuan. Can you spare a little to help me with my basic needs?"

Do you truly not want it, or are you being insincere?
