Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 470 Stand up, don't kneel!
"Making the decision to provide free vaccinations to all citizens was undoubtedly very difficult, especially for Beijing, which was currently poor and lacking everything."

"But who can blame us when this truly benefits the people and ensures that the future of our country will be free from these ailments and grow up happily? If we can achieve this, then it is meaningful, and of great significance!"

"If it's meaningful and benefits the people, then we must resolutely do it! So, although this will inevitably put enormous pressure on our finances, we still did it without hesitation!"

"Moreover, it was an urgent and unavoidable duty, and such a major decision, comparable to a national policy, was passed immediately! How about that? This decisiveness and courage, isn't it flawless? It's not much worse than yours, is it?"

Seeing Bai Ling's arrogance was truly infuriating.

Because of the decision made above, they were extremely pleased, extremely proud, and extremely arrogant!
Surprisingly, Ximen Lang did not disagree with Bai Ling.

Instead, they were equally impressed by the grandeur of the world in Beijing and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Although seeing you like this makes me want to give you a piece of my mind, I have to admit that this matter was handled flawlessly and is truly something to be happy about!"

"So, be smug, be as smug as you want. I'm letting you off easy this time. Go ahead and show off to me, I definitely won't put you down."

This undoubtedly made Bai Ling even happier!
While Ximen Lang and his wife were happy about the free vaccination for everyone, the incredibly brief hospital-wide meeting, which would have taken at least ten chapters in other novels, quickly came to an end.

After explaining the dangers of drug abuse to the neighbors, and making them all realize that they shouldn't take advantage of the situation,

Just as the newly minted "old man" Liu Haizhong was about to announce decisively that the plenary meeting had come to a successful conclusion and everyone should go back to what they were doing.

Looking towards the back of the crowd, Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, a married couple, had also arrived.

He was even happier than if he had seen his own father; his eyes lit up immediately.

Just as happy as Liu Haizhong were the sharp-eyed Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai.

Upon seeing that Ximen Lang had also come over, they rushed over as if they had met a relative.

As more and more people spotted Ximen Lang and his wife, it was obvious without asking that their enjoyment of such benefits was inextricably linked to Ximen Lang. The crowd expressed their gratitude to Ximen Lang profusely.

Especially those neighbors who have personally experienced the unbearable loss of loved ones due to these diseases, who have personally experienced such immense grief, and who happen to have children of school age at home.

It's no exaggeration to say that he really wanted to kneel down before Ximen Lang on the spot.

This startled Ximen Lang, who quickly pulled away.

After dealing with this one, he would then try to persuade that one.

With the help of three elderly men, Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui, as well as the Jia Zhang family, they finally managed to keep these neighbors, who were genuinely expressing their feelings and gratitude, from kneeling down.

Unable to refuse the enthusiastic invitation, Ximen Lang had no choice but to step out from behind the curtain and stand in the middle of the crowd, calling out to them.

"Stand up! Don't kneel! The Emperor is gone, no one is worth your kneeling, and I am not worth your kneeling either!"

The performance was so grand and powerful, with cinematic-quality visuals that it deeply moved all the neighbors.

Ximen Lang continued.

"And compared to those who truly care about you wholeheartedly, are anxious about your needs, and solve your problems, what I can do is actually very limited. So, if you really want to thank someone, you should thank them. As for me, forget it! We're all neighbors, there's no point in doing all this! Not only are you uncomfortable, but I'm uncomfortable too!"

"Of course, the most crucial point is that things are different now than before, and the old ways don't work anymore! I worked so hard to get this uniform and to this position! If I lose my official position because of this, wouldn't I be incredibly wronged? I'd regret it to death, and I'd make you pay for it!"

Another little joke, which immediately eased the tension. Seeing everyone still standing there dumbfounded...

Ximen Lang raised his hand in a gesture.

"What are you waiting for? Although all the children in our hospital have taken the sugar pills specifically for preventing polio, we haven't given them the other vaccines yet! Especially the smallpox vaccine, everyone in the hospital is entitled to it, no one can escape it!"

"So hurry up, pack your things, bring something to prove your identity, go to the designated epidemic prevention station in the neighborhood to register, and then get your vaccinations and medications!"

Everyone who heard this thought
"Yeah, we need to go early, otherwise who knows when it will be our turn!"

After hastily expressing their gratitude to Ximen Lang, they rushed home to pack their things and quickly formed a group to head to the nearest epidemic prevention station.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui, the three brothers, still staring at him expectantly.

Ximen Lang was speechless.

"What, you three aren't going to kowtow to me too, are you?"

Originally, Ximen Lang would have said that, but it was just a casual joke after they became familiar with each other.

Unexpectedly, the current old man, Liu Haizhong, actually took these words seriously.

While shouting
"It's my duty, it's my duty. Brother Lang has helped me so much, I really should kowtow to him properly!"

I really want to kowtow to Ximen Lang from the side of his bangs.

Especially when Ximen Lang saw Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui being messed up by Liu Haizhong's antics, he felt a bit like kowtowing to himself.

I'm utterly speechless.

Drop a sentence.

"piss off!"

Ximen Lang pulled up his bangs in one go!

Seeing that Ximen Lang was speechless at his father Liu Haizhong's antics, his father, unsurprisingly, started making a fool of himself again.

It's truly speechless. Who did he learn this trick from? Could it be that their grandfather did the same thing back then, which is why his father was able to learn it so well? At the same time, Guangqi, Guangtian, and Guangfu, the three brothers, quickly helped their embarrassing father up.

On Liu Haizhong's behalf, he hurriedly apologized to Ximen Lang, telling him not to take it to heart and not to stoop to his father's level.

On one hand, she hurriedly used the excuse that she still needed to get vaccinated to pull her reluctant father away from there.

Seeing this scene that was so contrary to the natural order, Ximen Lang was filled with mixed emotions.

After Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai, realizing the situation was turning bad, both fled.

Ximen Lang, ever the gentleman, smugly told Bai Ling, "It's all the same to you."

"Ling'er, I won't talk about anything else with you. Just now, wasn't your man handsome?"
