I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Hearing this, the old man immediately became interested.

Soon, Secretary Chen led Ye Ming and Xiao Xin to the pharmacy.

"What's that smell? Is it Aconitum carmichaelii, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Gardenia? Big boss, are you getting angry again?"

Before anyone was seen, Ye Ming's voice had already been heard.

It would be difficult even for this old man to identify the ingredients of the medicinal materials in the medicine jar by smell alone, not to mention that the other person seemed to be not very old from the sound of his voice.

"Are there any guests at home?"

Seeing the old man next to the big leader, Ye Ming restrained himself a little.

"Let me introduce you. This is Director Zheng Jingguo of Union Hospital, and he is the cook I mentioned to you before, Ye Ming."

"Union Hospital?"

Ye Ming was slightly surprised to learn the old man's origins.

This hospital, which was founded in 1921, is well-known in the city of Beijing for its outstanding therapeutic effects and numerous professional departments, making it a first-class hospital.

As he can become the chief physician of Union Hospital, his medical skills are naturally not to be underestimated.

"You're so young? I heard from your superiors that you're a chef. I've never seen a chef pick up a medical book instead of studying recipes. How about you comment on this?"

The old man pointed at the medicine stove beside him, with a hint of testing in his words.

Ye Ming thought for a moment and then walked closer to the medicine furnace.

He leaned in for a closer sniff.

"The medicine is three-year-old Aconitum, and half a penny more Scutellaria baicalensis is added. It seems that the patient has been irritated recently, and the medicine tastes bitter.

After this pot of medicinal juice is boiled, it is best to add a little gardenia. The body above cannot withstand such stimulation and may cause diarrhea. "

The old man was stunned when he heard this and nodded thoughtfully.

"Which master do you worship? It's rare for you to have such knowledge at such a young age."

Ye Ming answered frankly: "Senior, I am afraid I will disappoint you. These are all what I learned from books. I have no master to teach me personally."

When Zheng Jingguo heard this, he immediately showed a look of disbelief.

"You learned it from books? Who are you kidding? Without a master to teach you, you can reach this level just by self-study. Aren't we, the old guys who have been practicing medicine for decades, ashamed?"

Ye Ming spread his hands, feeling quite helpless: "Only by reading a lot of books, experiencing the world, and meeting countless people can one maintain respect for life. Senior, you should understand this principle better than me."

Zheng Jingguo nodded silently and stopped asking about Ye Ming's master.

"With him here, I feel relieved. The hospital is still busy, so I won't stay any longer."

The senior leader tried to persuade him, "You're leaving now? Director Zheng, it's rare for Ye Ming to come here, why don't you stay and try his cooking before you leave?"

He originally wanted to introduce Ye Ming to Zheng Jingguo, but now it seems that his efforts were in vain.

"Since I am a doctor who helps the world, I should shoulder this responsibility. Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, please just listen to it.

I can only enjoy Master Ye’s craftsmanship again in the future.”

The leader realized that he couldn't keep Ye Ming today, so he called his secretary and drove the old man back to the hospital himself.

"You are such an oddball."

After taking the medicine, the leader led Ye Ming to the living room.

The two of them were close friends and spoke without reservations, and Ye Ming didn't mind.

"I have brought everything you want. Here are the ten kilograms of peanuts that Director Liang wanted. Also, I really like the small enamel bowl he brought last time. It should be a set. Please remember to ask for me. It's still the old rule. Exchange it with ginseng."

It is not convenient for senior leaders to accept gifts, but Ye Ming has no concerns about this.

Within a month, he had dealt with officials at all levels in the city, from the director of the Ministry of Industry to the director of the street office.

"Why do you collect so many antiques? Xiao Yang said your house is almost like a warehouse for second-hand goods."

"That's true. As for the purpose of doing this, I'll keep it secret for now. You'll know it after a while."

The big boss looked helpless and dissatisfied and said, "Can you change this bad habit of yours? You always keep things secret and hide things from me."

"I want to tell you that Director Liang's set of enamel bowls can be exchanged for a house at the foot of the imperial city of Sijiu City. Do you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"Look, you don't believe me when I tell you, and you blame me for being dishonest when I don't tell you. Sister, please give me some advice."

At this time, the leader's wife was walking over with a tea tray. When she heard Ye Ming complaining to her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Come on, drink some water to moisten your throat first. Don't you know what kind of person he is? You are just trying to save face but you are suffering."

"Hey, how can you ruin things like this?"

Xiaoxin listened and laughed with her hands covering her mouth.

The atmosphere in the room was warm and harmonious. The leader's wife also gave the leader enough face and asked Ye Ming about another matter.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Yang said you're dating someone?"

"That's right. I mentioned it before. When will you bring your girlfriend home for everyone to see? Don't pick a date, let's make it the day after tomorrow! Tomorrow won't work, I have to go to Qiuye's house."

The big boss and his wife were quite concerned about this matter, so Ye Ming had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, the clock has pointed to half past six in the evening, and the courtyard next door is much busier than usual.

After some inquiries, I found out that Xu Damao would be released from prison in two days.

This is unexpected news.

The compound, which had been peaceful for more than a month, is probably going to be restless again.

Only two-thirds of his three-month sentence had passed. I didn't expect that the Xu family could use their connections to get him a reduced sentence.

Unlike Sha Zhu, Xu Damao has been expelled from the steel mill.

With such a stain, other factories would most likely not accept him.

The issue of finding a job after being released from prison is indeed a problem, but Xu's father has extensive connections, so even if he can't find a decent job, making a living should not be a problem.

Ye Ming didn't pay much attention to the Xu family's affairs.

The next day, just after the employees' breakfast time, Director Yang immediately called Ye Ming to his office.

"Look at this."

"Report letter?"

When Ye Ming saw the big words on the envelope, he already knew what was going on.

After opening and reading it, I found that it was indeed the case.

"Oh, that's impressive! Starting from you, all the leaders of our factory are here. Could it be that someone has been left out?"

The only thing missing was Li Huaide's name.

The culprit behind this incident is clear at a glance.

As for how the letter fell into the hands of Director Yang, Ye Ming knew it very well and had the most say.

"I didn't expect you to have connections up there."

A month ago, he was just an ordinary ninth-level cook, and the only thing he could be proud of was his excellent cooking skills.

During his short nap, others had quietly made arrangements where he could not see.

Director Yang couldn't help but reveal a trace of helplessness: "I can fool others but I won't fool you."

Ye Ming's attitude remained lukewarm. He simply glanced over the contents of the letter, which was full of the shady dealings of this model worker selection.

The letter contained angry words, most of which were exaggerations of the facts, but it simply pinned the blame of being the mastermind on Director Yang.
