Chapter 590: Look Who’s Here
Since Rong Sanshao already said everything, what else could Jiang Ning possibly add?
But with all eyes on her, she couldn’t just throw the loudspeaker away.
Although she usually scolds Rong Sanshao like she’s scolding a grandson, she had never given a speech in front of so many people. She felt a bit nervous due to lack of experience.
But Jiang Ning, the master of creating legends, knew the key—too many words will lead to mistakes.
Since she was acting like a god, she had to maintain an air of mystery.
She picked up the loudspeaker and spoke steadily, “Don’t be afraid. It will get better. We are all in this together.”
Rong Sanshao, an expert in flattering, took the loudspeaker and said, “Please be patient, everyone. We’ll go get the medicine right away. Please line up and take turns.”
The patients actually quieted down, because everyone at the base knew Jiang Ning.
The farm was hers; the livestock farm was hers, and the special salvage team was hers. Wherever she appeared, miracles happened.
Now she was donating medicine. Maybe she could really cure them?
Whether it was an empty promise or psychological comfort, the noisy crowd really quieted down and patiently waited for a miracle.
The patients were reassured, and the order at the scene visibly improved.
Rong Sanshao was organized and said, “Director, please arrange for someone to come with us to get the medicine.”
The director, who was clearly just following orders, thought, “So in the end, this has nothing to do with the hospital? It’s all Jiang Ning’s credit.”
But thinking about Jiang Ning’s past, the director didn’t think she was the type of person to take all the credit.
He could only say that the military officer in front of him was trying to climb the ranks by flattering people.
Saving lives and treating the sick was the priority. Jiang Ning took the hospital staff home to get the medicine, and Rong Sanshao shamelessly followed.
His expression seemed to say: “Sis, I did a great job, didn’t I?”
Jiang Ning rubbed her forehead.
She moved a few big bags of medicine from the storage room but didn’t forget to check next door.
Sure enough, no one was there.
Gu Tinglin was commanding at the base.
She had to admit, the thick-skinned and smooth-talking Rong Sanshao was indeed a master at clearing out camps.
As soon as they entered the hospital gates, the loudspeaker on his chest blared again, “Everyone, please don’t worry. The medicine donated by Comrade Jiang Ning has arrived. We will organize everything right away.”
By giving clear instructions and updates, the patients’ anxiety was greatly eased.
The director, feeling inferior, quickly arranged for the medicine to be prepared.
But Rong Sanshao grabbed him and whispered something in his ear.
The director’s expression became serious. “Thank you for the reminder.”
With the situation under control, Jiang Ning quickly asked the director, “Has the Huacheng Military Command’s delegation arrived at the hospital?”
“They have, and the doctors are treating them.”
“How are they doing?”
The director, feeling stretched thin, replied, “They have their own doctors, we’re just providing the medicine.”
Jiang Ning wasn’t reassured. She found out the exact treatment room and personally went to visit them.
As she turned the corner, she saw Commander Xiao coming out of the treatment room.
He was accompanied by Jiang Guanshan.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then parted ways.
Once Commander Xiao left, Jiang Ning stepped out from the corner.
After her son passed away, Commander Xiao had been quiet and low-key for a while. She didn’t expect him to be so active again so soon.
The high-ranking officials at the southern military base, aside from the key personnel appointed by the state, was mostly selected by Gu Tinglin.
Overall, the situation was stable, with everyone working towards a common goal.
Now that the major disaster had passed and the reconstruction period had arrived, some people had started to scheme.
Ambition was understandable, and everyone was relying on their own abilities.
Knowing the complicated relationship between the two cities, Commander Xiao still took the opportunity to visit during the chaos.
What did he talk about with Huacheng?
Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then quickly composed herself and knocked on the treatment room door.
Jiang Guanshan opened the door, looked her over for a while before speaking, “Comrade Jiang?”
Jiang Ning nodded slightly in greeting, “Director Jiang, it’s been a long time.”
Jiang Guanshan wasn’t surprised by her arrival. Instead, he asked with concern, “Comrade Jiang, what happened back then? We thought you and Comrade Huo had perished.”
They both knew it was a rhetorical question, but one still had to maintain appearances.
Jiang Ning explained frankly, “I accidentally learned of a friend’s news back then, and in my panic, I went to look for them. Unfortunately, the submarine malfunctioned and drifted with the ocean currents to the Arctic. It was only after the land rose that we managed to leave and eventually made our way to Fengcheng.”
“I see, as long as you’re safe,” Jiang Guanshan said with a sigh. “You and Comrade Huo are both rare talents. If you had stayed in Huacheng, the city would have achieved much more by now.”
“Director Jiang, you’re too kind. Huacheng has so many talented people; we wouldn’t be irreplaceable.”
Jiang Guanshan welcomed her inside, smiling, “Leader, Director Ma, come and look who’s here.”
Jiang Ning was surprised to see Ma Guangnian.
It had been more than two years since they last met. His hair was graying, and his body was still slender.
Jiang Ning’s eyes misted up. “Professor.”
Yesterday’s banquet was only for senior military officials, and Ma Guangnian never liked to be part of the crowd, so he rests early in the guesthouse.
He was here for medical assistance, but he never expected Fengcheng to be so much better than he had imagined.
He had heard about the medicinal herb cultivation at the base and had joined the military staff early on for an inspection, only to run into a moth infestation.
The reunion between teacher and student was touching.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and warmly embraced Ma Guangnian.
She couldn’t deny that the person she had become today, both in thought and perspective, was heavily influenced by him.
In her heart, he was both a teacher and a father figure.
Aside from practicing medicine and engaging in academic work, Ma Guangnian rarely paid attention to external matters. He only learned this morning, during the inspection, that Jiang Ning was in Fengcheng and that she was the biological daughter of Chief Gu. The medicinal herb plantation they were visiting was hers.
Ma Guangnian wasn’t much of a talker. As long as his student was doing well, it would make his years of worry worthwhile.
With him around, there was no need to worry about the staff officer and the others’ illnesses.
And sure enough, the director brought the required medicines, and their allergic symptoms had already eased considerably.
The military staff member’s eyes were red and swollen, and he was receiving a hot compress.
Chief of Staff Si still remembered Jiang Ning—had it not been for her giving him a life-saving pill on the ferry all those years ago, he wasn’t sure he would have made it.
When the report about the reclaimed land came in, the military staff member had asked Jiang Guanshan to investigate in secret.
It didn’t take long for the truth to surface, and people were sent out to search.
It was a pity that the young people didn’t give him a chance, but as the leaders from the five major bases gathered, more and more survivors from Huacheng showed up.
The ultimate goal remained unchanged, but with the increasing military factions, things had become undeniably more complicated.
Chief of Staff Si had finally let go of his obsession.
Who would have thought that they would unexpectedly meet in Fengcheng?
He looked Jiang Ning over. The protective suit made it hard to see clearly, but the work she had done for the Fengcheng base spoke volumes—like a tiger’s daughter, following in her father’s footsteps.
He regretted that she hadn’t chosen Huacheng, but Fengcheng was still the best choice. Both came from the same roots, so there was no need to draw a line.
He asked, “How’s Chief Gu?”
Jiang Ning sighed, “He just got treated and is busy again.”
Chief of Staff Si laughed heartily, “Ah, him? He’s always been the same, never accepting his age, always acting like he’s still young!”
