Criticism? No, we should praise!
Chapter 2898 Criticism? No, we should praise!
Secretary Guo came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Yang Xiaotao didn't go out to see him off. Instead, he quietly finished his cigarette in the corridor and then revealed a meaningful smile on his face.
God knows what you did.
It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet.
Lift your rock and lick your own feet!
Hahaha~
Yang Xiaotao muttered these two sentences to himself and then laughed.
This is the perfect fit for the Japanese islands at this moment.
Regardless of why there was radioactive material in these two machines, and regardless of the British people's intentions, why they didn't inform us about the condition of the instruments beforehand.
The fact is, according to the original plan, these two medical devices were to be sold to them.
But it was snatched away by a little guy halfway through.
They deserve their bad luck.
But as he thought about it more deeply, the smile on Yang Xiaotao's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a chilling seriousness.
If it weren't for Xiao Rizi's unexpected intervention, these two instruments would have ended up in Beijing.
In other words, the tragedy that is happening in Kosaka City could very well happen in Beijing.
Thinking this, Yang Xiaotao looked out the window and couldn't help but shiver.
He knew that Xiao Rizi was unaware of the 'demon' inside the medical equipment, and that the Ninth Division would not have known about it without prior notice.
The probability of an accident occurring is no less than that of Kosaka Castle.
He then picked up another cigarette, lit it, and silently smoked it.
What is the conspiracy behind this?
Or is it all just a coincidence?
After finishing his cigarette, Yang Xiaotao understood his superior's concerns.
This thing is an evil that's impossible to guard against.
Now I understand why the league was in such a hurry to act.
Who knows if there are other demons inside?
It's important to understand that the detectors capable of detecting radioactive materials currently available have limitations; some unknown radioactive substances simply cannot be detected.
Therefore, the alliance is also worried that there might be something wrong with the seized equipment.
"We really need to be careful with this."
Yang Xiaotao stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can before walking toward his office.
Since the decision has already been made, there's no need to say more.
It's best to just follow the arrangements.
Back in the office, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e were both full of curiosity. They only knew that something had happened on the Japanese island and wanted to hear some gossip, but since Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, they didn't dare to ask.
So, under the watchful eyes of the two, Yang Xiaotao walked to the table, picked up the phone, and called Ji Xiang at the hospital.
Once the call connected, Yang Xiaotao briefly explained what had happened.
Finally, he said, "Dean Ji, that's the situation. I estimate that the medical equipment we purchased won't be returned in the short term."
"Just keep this to yourself, there's no need to worry."
"Without instruments and equipment, we can only try to find a way in our areas of expertise and see if our ancestors had done any research in this area."
"Let's mobilize our fellow practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine to conduct research on prevention and treatment. This is a delicate task, but also a project that will benefit future generations."
"I believe that if we perfect traditional Chinese medicine, it will be no less effective than Western medicine."
"Just tell Lao Chen what resources you need, and we'll give you our full support."
Yang Xiaotao talked a lot with Ji Xiang on the phone, and Ji Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that Yang Xiaotao would buy a hundred or so machines at once. While that might allow their Ninth People's Hospital to quickly improve its capabilities, it would also squeeze out the development space for traditional Chinese medicine.
Now that Yang Xiaotao is focusing her attention on the development of traditional Chinese medicine, she is naturally happy.
Despite being happy, I was still uneasy.
What if the development of traditional Chinese medicine also falls short of expectations?
With a heavy heart, Ji Xiang hung up the phone and then convened a meeting with the hospital's main management personnel to explain the situation.
On the other side, after making the call, Yang Xiaotao continued on to the research institute.
After Yang Xiaotao left, Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of shock.
"Xiaoxue, do you think that thing is really that amazing?"
Lou Xiao'e did not have a real understanding of radioactive contamination, nor did she have a specific impression of how significant the impact would be.
Liu Lixue, whom she asked, also lacked this knowledge. Perhaps Yang Xiaotao would know, but they didn't dare to ask.
Everyone could tell that Yang Xiaotao's tone was not good just now.
I don't know if it's because of the medical equipment.
After all, money was spent on those.
"I don't know, I'm not sure either."
"This radiation seems to be something very powerful, otherwise people wouldn't be dying."
Liu Lixue shook her head as she spoke, then, as if remembering something, whispered, "I don't know, but someone does."
"Who?"
"The people at the research institute do a lot of research."
"Let's go ask him after Director Yang leaves."
"Correct!"
Both of them were very interested in gossip and were quite concerned about what was happening on the Japanese island.
Yang Xiaotao arrived at the Ninth Research Institute and checked the research progress in each department.
Finally, they arrived at Elder Ye's office and recounted the matter of Kosaka Castle.
After hearing this, Old Ye remained calm and inquired about the number of victims.
Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "I just found out too, but it's been more than a week since the incident started."
"The exact number of victims is still unclear, but it should be quite high."
"After all, Kosaka City has a developed commercial sector, a dense population, and high mobility. Who knows how far it can spread in a day?"
Old Ye sighed and said nothing more.
The elderly who experienced that tragic war, especially those who had been subjected to misfortune since the First Sino-Japanese War, find it difficult to like such a nation.
But he couldn't bring himself to make sarcastic remarks.
Having reached the age of fifty, and often surrounded by children in the courtyard, teaching them to read and write, I felt a growing reluctance to let them down.
Yang Xiaotao noticed that Ye Lao's expression was off, so he quickly changed the subject and brought up work.
"Mr. Ye, have you found out more about Li Qian from Shanghai that we talked about last time?"
When Yang Xiaotao asked about this, Ye Lao nodded slowly, "I asked around about this person, and he does have some academic achievements and has made some progress in recent years."
"But in practice, there haven't been many impressive achievements."
"Furthermore, some people have reported that this person has some minor issues with his lifestyle, such as frequenting Western restaurants."
After Mr. Ye finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao frowned and asked, "Does this person like to drink coffee?"
Old Ye didn't know why Yang Xiaotao asked that, but he still replied, "We should drink it."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Then let's do this, we don't need to have any contact with this person anymore."
"The biological research institute was set up by drawing personnel from within the institute."
"A tall building rises from the ground; if we don't have talent, we'll cultivate it ourselves."
“Isn’t this how it was done before?” Old Ye had no objection to Yang Xiaotao’s words, and then suggested, “I’ve been observing a few people recently, and I think Tian Haisheng from the original biological research institute can take over.”
"Tian Haisheng?"
After a moment's thought, Yang Xiaotao immediately formed an impression of this person.
This person came from the Shanghai Institute of Biology together with Professor Wang Guangmei.
He was the deputy director of the research institute in Shanghai back then. He might not know much about the technology, but he should be fine with management.
"How is Comrade Tian Haisheng's skill level?"
"Not bad, we have done some work that has benefited the development of the institute over the years."
"Moreover, he is more adept at management than Teacher Wang."
Old Ye also shared some of his observations, and Yang Xiaotao nodded. At this critical moment, it's always the people on our side who are more reliable.
"Alright, you can discuss it with Lao Han and the others. If there are no problems, let him give it a try."
"it is good!"
While Yang Xiaotao and his companion were discussing research matters at the institute, Old Chen was also having a meeting with a group of people.
"I have already made the cause of this matter clear; its essence is to improve the level of medical development in our country."
"This accident was an accident in itself."
"I think the unfounded accusations made by some comrades are completely stupid and incomprehensible."
Old Chen practically slammed his fist on the table as he spoke, his voice filled with aggression.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of the people at the table here either.
In terms of confidence, who has more than him now?
Even if there were mistakes, it would be because the enemy was too cunning. Who knew that there were harmful things hidden in there?
For this reason, they want to make a big deal out of their comrades. Not only would he disagree, but millions of workers would also disagree.
Old Chen's gaze swept over everyone present. He wanted to see who dared to jump out and disagree at this moment.
Do you really think he has a good temper?
If I can't control you, can't I control your subordinates?
If you dare to break off relations, I'll make sure you run out of funds next year and starve.
In the conference room, Old Chen was like a general with his sword drawn, fearless and intimidated by anyone because he had money in his hands.
The true general, wielding his sword and charging into battle, sat to the side, coldly observing everyone present.
I don't have any good feelings towards these people either.
The contributions made by the nine departments, not to mention anything else, are less than those of the factory workers among most of the people present.
He used to be too lazy to attend these ridiculous meetings.
So when I heard about this group of people causing trouble, I brought some people over to take a look.
Sure enough, they started by labeling people, which immediately angered the honest man.
Peng glanced at Old Chen. This guy had been keeping a low profile for so many years, but he never expected to reveal his true nature again for Yang Xiaotao's sake.
Thinking this, a smile appeared on Peng's lips.
In the midst of this silence, the door suddenly opened.
Old Qing walked in from outside, followed by his uncle, General Manager Xu, and several others, all with serious expressions.
Everyone quickly stood up to greet them.
As Qing Lao sat down, he glanced at everyone present before saying, "I heard you were having a meeting to discuss what happened with Kosaka. I wonder if there have been any results?"
After Mr. Qing finished speaking, Mr. Chen and President Peng both remained silent.
Those who were of one mind with Old Chen, General Peng, and others also crossed their arms and looked on with a spectator's expression.
As the initiator of the meeting, Director Yao already had some regrets.
When the Kosaka incident occurred, his superiors saw it as an opportunity to damage the reputation of the Nine Divisions.
Therefore, this meeting was convened at the request of higher authorities.
But who knew that during the meeting, Old Chen would bring his people to join in first.
Then it was Boss Peng who came in with a group of people.
This instantly made the "fence-sitters" attending the meeting see the situation clearly.
Now, Qing Lao is here again, and anyone with eyes can see that he's supporting the Ninth Department, or rather, Yang Xiaotao.
Considering the terrifying money-making ability of the Nine Departments, and what that money could buy, and then recalling what Old Chen had just said, this...
Even a fool knows which side to choose.
He doesn't even need to look to know that his former 'comrades-in-arms' who had reached an agreement have definitely betrayed him.
He felt nothing but regret.
I had warned myself long ago not to get involved in anything related to the Nine Departments.
But this time, for some inexplicable reason, I got involved again.
I might end up taking the blame again.
With this in mind, Director Yao had already begun to consider retiring.
All that had happened before had made it clear to him that there was no future in following that person.
Upon hearing Qing Lao's inquiry, Director Yao immediately changed his attitude, his expression becoming respectful, "Reporting to the leader."
"We are currently holding a meeting to discuss the Kosaka nuclear radiation issue. We have learned that the cause originated from two instruments in Britain."
Director Yao recounted the message he had received, using a lot of adjectives in his speech.
Even though Kosaka was already in a terrible situation, his emotionally charged words made him seem even more miserable.
However, everyone's attention was focused on Director Yao's conclusion, and many people's eyes even contained murderous intent.
Feeling the gazes of those around him, Director Yao swallowed hard and continued, "We traced the source and found that these two pieces of medical equipment were originally purchased by our colleagues in Department Nine."
Director Yao gritted his teeth and shouted, "So, this is both a conspiracy and a huge conspiracy against us."
"Thanks to the timely discovery by the comrades of the Ninth Division, the enemy's plot was thwarted."
At this point, Mr. Zhang, who was sitting next to Mr. Xu, leaned forward, and a murderous aura gathered in the conference room.
The next moment, Director Yao shouted loudly, "Therefore, the comrades of the Ninth Department have done nothing wrong in this matter and deserve high praise!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Zhang slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
then
Then the words that Old Zhang was about to say stuck in his throat.
Those around Zhang were also startled, but at this moment they also understood the meaning behind Director Yao's words.
He has done good deeds but no bad ones.
Various forms of praise.
this.
This guy betrayed us too.
Then, everyone's attention turned to Old Zhang.
Everyone says that the nine departments have made great contributions, so what's the meaning of your slamming the table?
Old Zhang finally realized what was going on, glaring at Director Yao, thinking to himself, 'This guy's not playing by the rules!'
Not only did I slam my hand on the table for nothing, but I also need to explain myself quickly.
"Okay, good point!"
Old Zhang, his face flushed, spoke loudly, then immediately sat down.
Director Yao was startled by Old Zhang, but after the other party quickly sat down, he immediately came to his senses and said again, "This time, the comrades from the Ninth Department saw through Britain's conspiracy. It was their decisive termination of the transaction that thwarted the other party's plan."
"Otherwise, the current tragic state of Kosaka Castle will be the future of our Beijing."
"Of course, such a thing will never happen in Beijing, but it is commendable that the comrades of the Ninth Division were able to prevent it from happening in the first place. They deserve our praise."
"In light of the outstanding performance of the Ninth Industrial Machinery Department in this potential crisis, I propose that the relevant personnel of the Ninth Industrial Machinery Department be awarded the 'Medal of Revolutionary Honor' as encouragement."
Director Yao spoke eloquently, even becoming more and more engrossed in his words, as if he had experienced a complete transformation after changing course.
At that moment, he felt that perhaps he didn't need to retire gracefully; all he needed to do was...
Just switch sides.
