Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 655: To raise Fangyan's status, give my brother Fang a used car?

The cafeteria of Union Hospital was particularly lively. The air was filled with the aroma of food and a hint of herbs.

As soon as Fangyan entered the room, he knew that the chef for the state banquet had specially prepared medicinal food today.

A red banner hung on the cafeteria wall, which read:

There are big words written on it: "Thank you, Doctor Fang, for your kindness and good medical skills. Your grace is as heavy as a mountain."

On the other side, there is also:

"A thank you banquet for overseas Chinese businessmen Hu Daohu and Huang Huijie."

There was a tape recorder in the corner, playing soft folk music. The melodious sounds of the erhu and the flute intertwined together, adding a touch of solemnity and warmth to the banquet.

All the long tables at the scene were replaced with large round tables, on which a lot of cold dishes had been placed.

The heating in the cafeteria was turned on very high.
When I first came in, I even felt a little hot.

At this time, there were already quite a few people at the scene, and Fang Yan's family had been invited over by the dean.

As soon as the younger brother saw Fangyan and the others come in, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Third brother, second sister! Here! Here!"

Fangyan immediately took his second sister over.

At this time, my mother and Zhu Lin also came. Only my mother-in-law worked in the unit next door. She hasn't come yet, but I heard that someone has already invited her.

Today everyone in Fangyan's family is invited.

Hu Daohu and his wife are very particular about this.

At this time, medical staff from other departments also came over after get off work, and soon the place became lively.

Not long after Fang Yan sat down, Hu Daohu and his wife came over.

As soon as I arrived, I sat at the same table with Fangyan and the others.

Today's ceremony was not held on stage, but was held right in front of the dinner table.

The dean had brought microphones around, so when he spoke, the whole cafeteria would be able to hear him.

Huang Huijie first said to Fang Yan:

"We have to thank Doctor Fang for reminding us today, otherwise it would be a hassle for us to deal with so many people."

Fang Yan said to them:

"It's the dean and Director Liao who support the work. I just gave some ideas."

Fangyan didn't want to get involved in the Hu family's affairs. The reason he cared so much was because he was responsible for the patient and didn't want Huang Huijie to get into trouble.

Now that the leader has taken over, he is very happy.

However, Hu Daohu was still grateful to Fangyan.

If Fangyan hadn't reacted in advance, they might have been surrounded by people at noon.

Those people in the Chamber of Commerce know what they will do.

The more people there are, the more complicated the scene will be. If something really happens, he will have no way to deal with it.

That’s why Fangyan was able to get them transferred as soon as possible. After Hu Daohu and Huang Huijie thought about it carefully, they felt that this was a very correct choice.

Especially when they see the list of this group of people.

Many people related to them are in there. Now they are not afraid of anyone else but their own relatives.

It’s a bit sad to say, especially when seeing the Fangyan family living happily and lovingly with each other.

However, the couple were in their 40s and quickly adjusted their mentality.

Huang Huijie greeted everyone in Fangyan's family one by one, and also discussed and asked Fangyan's mother and elder sister about some things about pregnancy.

Both of them are experienced people in this area, and He Huiru is also a doctor in this field, so some of the things they talked about were very much to Huang Huijie's liking. She needed these popular science contents right now.

The more knowledge you know, the more at ease you will feel.

Of course, she did not forget to ask Zhu Lin for advice. As someone who had been pregnant not long before her, Zhu Lin's physical experience was also very valuable for her reference.

It's just that Zhu Lin was taken care of very well by Fang Yan, so his physiological reaction was much weaker than Huang Huijie's. Especially when Huang Huijie knew that Fang Yan would massage Zhu Lin for more than 40 minutes every night before going to bed, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked Zhu Lin for advice, asking how he did the massage.

As they were talking, more and more people came into the cafeteria, and soon Fangyan's mother-in-law, Fu Zhaojun, also arrived.

The hot dishes were also served.

The dean looked at the various departments and confirmed that most people had arrived, so he notified Hu Daohu and his wife:

"The ceremony can begin."

"Okay." Hu Daohu nodded, then stood up, took out a handful of red envelopes, and said to the assistant beside him:
"You ask the media to take more pictures."

The assistant took the red envelopes and immediately walked towards the reporters who were not far away next door.

After a while, everyone stuffed a red envelope into the box.

Although I am a little uncomfortable with it, people say that it doesn’t cost much but it’s just for good luck.

The journalists gladly accepted it.

At the same time, the cameras and video cameras in hand are also ready to ensure that the speech is recorded from all aspects and angles.

Then the assistant brought over another sign.

It was covered with a red cloth. If I guessed correctly, that was the content of the donation he wanted to make, and he would give it to Fangyan when the time came.

The donation ceremony seemed a bit like something from later times.

The purpose of putting up a big sign is actually to show it to other people and to allow journalists to take photos.

Wait until all the props are in place.

Hu Daohu told the dean that they could start.

The dean and Fangyan were also at the same table.

He picked up the phone, stood up, said "Hello" twice, and then said loudly:

"Everyone, be quiet." As soon as these words were spoken, the noise around them suddenly became quieter.

The dean stood up and took out a short speech from his pocket with a gentle and solemn smile on his face.

He was wearing a dark Mao suit with a Union Hospital badge on his chest, looking particularly formal.

The noise in the cafeteria died down and everyone's eyes were on him.

At this time, the cameraman also started pressing the shutter to take pictures as if film was free.

There were shutter sounds and flashes.

The dean cleared his throat and spoke in a loud and steady voice:
“Dear colleagues and friends, today is a special day. We are gathered here not only to celebrate the happiness of a couple, but also to witness the power of a doctor’s benevolence and the intersection of trust and gratitude.”

He paused, glanced at everyone present, and continued, "As the president of Union Hospital, I know that every achievement of the hospital is inseparable from the hard work of every medical staff."

"Our dialect-speaking doctor in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with his superb medical skills and noble medical ethics, helped Mr. Hu and his wife realize their dreams. This is not only his personal honor, but also the pride of our Union Hospital."

"Clap, clap, clap..." The scene broke out into warm applause.

Fangyan stood up and nodded to everyone.

The applause around became even louder, especially from the people in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, whose hands were almost red from clapping.

Although it was Fangyan who won the benefits for Peking Union Medical College Hospital today, they just received real US dollars, which is no less than what they got from the Western medicine.

Western doctors were even puzzled. Ambulances and defibrillators are not for Chinese medicine practitioners. Are they hitting so hard just because the person who stood up was speaking a dialect?

The flash lights around kept flashing, capturing Fangyan from every angle.

It didn't stop until he sat down.

The dean went on to say:
"Next, please welcome today's protagonists, Mr. Hu and his wife."

After saying that, he handed the microphone to Hu Daohu.

Both of them stood up.

Applause broke out again from all around. This person is a donor and should be affirmed and encouraged.

The journalists also began to press the shutter buttons rapidly.

Hu Daohu and his wife felt that the atmosphere was very good.

She smiled and posed for the camera, then cleared her throat and said in Mandarin with a slight accent: "Dear guests, dear friends, hello everyone, today is the most important day in our lives."

"For many years, we have longed to have a complete family, but we were never able to do so until we met Dr. Fang."

"He used his superb medical skills and noble medical ethics to help us see hope. Now a new life is being conceived. In ten months, he will be born into the world. My wife and I will take on the role of parents, allowing us to have a complete family. This is what we have always longed for." His voice trembled a little, but his tone was firm and sincere.

"My wife and I have been married for almost 20 years. Pregnancy has almost become our nightmare. I originally thought that there was no hope in this life, but after returning to China, Dr. Fang let me know that we still have hope. I am very grateful to him! He is the noble man in my life and gave us a new starting point in life."

After saying that, he bowed to Fangyan.

I can't do it with the dialect now, and there was no mention of a bowing segment before.

Moreover, he bowed very low, so Fangyan quickly stood up and helped him up.

This scene was immediately recorded by the camera.

Fangyan immediately understood that Lao Hu was helping him to improve his status.

As soon as this photo was released, the status of dialects began to rise rapidly in the eyes of overseas Chinese businessmen.

There are not many people who can make Lao Hu bend his waist so low.

What's more, this is a doctor.

After Fang Yan helped Hu Daohu up, he held Fang Yan's hand for a long time and did not let go until someone took a picture.

Huang Huijie then took over the microphone, her voice soft but powerful: "Doctor Fang not only cured our illness, but also gave us the opportunity to be parents."

"Today, we specially prepared this thank-you banquet in the hope of expressing our deepest gratitude."

“In addition, we have decided to donate the hospital twelve Mercedes-Benz, Type 319 ambulances, plus twelve HP 7802A defibrillators.”

As soon as he said this, Hu Daohu lifted the red cloth on the board in his hand, revealing what was written on it.

It was the Mercedes-Benz ambulance and the HP defibrillator.

At this time, they have not yet entered the Chinese market and have not yet had a translated name. If we use the translation in Hong Kong, it is Mercedes-Benz. In fact, as early as 1956, a batch of Mercedes-Benz 300 sedans entered the Chinese market.

At that time, in order to receive guests from various countries who gathered in BJ to attend the Eighth National Congress, 60 Mercedes-Benz cars were purchased from West German Mercedes-Benz.

Doctors at Peking Union Medical College often read various foreign newspapers and journals, and are familiar with these cutting-edge medical equipment.

The Mercedes Type 319 was one of the most advanced ambulances in Europe in the 20s.

It is modified based on Mercedes-Benz's commercial vehicle model and is equipped with a spacious cabin and professional medical equipment, including standard oxygen cylinders, stretchers, first aid medicine cabinets, etc.

The vehicle has high stability and is suitable for fast driving on urban and rural roads. The interior space is reasonably designed to provide a good operating environment for medical staff. Mercedes-Benz ambulances are well-known for their reliability and durability and are adopted by medical institutions in many countries.

The HP 7802A was one of the most advanced defibrillators of the 20s. It used the latest electronic technology at the time, could deliver precise shock energy, and had ECG monitoring capabilities.

HP's medical equipment is in a leading position in the world at this time. The HP 7802A defibrillator is widely used in hospitals and ambulances, becoming a benchmark equipment in the field of emergency treatment.

These two things have never been imported into China.

I didn't expect that the things donated by this couple were really the best.

Everyone began to applaud wildly.

Fang Yan and Hu Daohu were holding signs and were photographed crazily by the reporters.

The dean was then called up by Hu Daohu and stood between the two of them. The three of them held the donation sign together and smiled at the camera.

Huang Huijie then said:

"In addition, we decided to give the doctor a private car as a token of our gratitude."

“This car is part of my husband’s collection and means a lot to him, so I had it shipped here from Malaysia.”

The people around were a little confused after hearing this. What does it mean? A collection of cars? Does it mean to thank Brother Fang for the second-hand car?
