Although the epidemic in the Northeast is urgent, the medical team cannot be started immediately as soon as it was established, because not to mention that veterans are important positions in various medical order institutions, even naturalized people are also the backbone of the medical order system. Now that we want to leave Qingdao to go to the Northeast, we naturally have to explain the work at hand. Because Zhou Weiying, the director of the People's Army General Hospital, has too many things to deal with every day, and we cannot leave it alone. At least we have to hand over the work with the acting president, personal secretary, assistant, etc.

These work will take at least 2 or 3 days, so the schedule will be set on the third day after the medical team is established.

And just the afternoon before, Zhou Weiying had handled the handover and was cleaning up his own things. At this time, Secretary Xiao Zhao came in and handed Zhou Weiying a folder and said, "Director, someone took Mr. Zhang Zhenxun's letter of introduction to our hospital to report."

It turned out that the East China Government had entrusted Zhang Zhenxun to search for talents among overseas Chinese and recommended them to the East China Government because compared with the Chinese in this era, overseas Chinese have a broader international vision. Many have received modern education, and a few have studied in Europe and the United States. They do have many talents. Zhang Zhenxun has many relationships in the Southeast Asian region, many people have made friends and well-informed. Over the years, he has also recommended many useful talents for the East China Government.

Zhou Weiying didn't pick up the folder and said, "I'm going to Northeast tomorrow, so I'll just leave this matter to the King's agent to handle." After a pause, he asked casually: "Who is the person recommended to come this time?"

Xiao Zhao said: "This person's surname is Wu, and he graduated from the University of Cambridge in the UK!"

Zhou Weiying was stunned for a moment. It was not that coincidental. Because the plague in the northeast occurred, the elders had learned about this history and knew that in the old time and space, Wu Lien-Te was the one who presided over the extermination of the plague in the northeast. He was a doctor of medicine from the University of Cambridge in the UK. He thought it would not be such coincidental. Wu Lien-Te took the initiative to find a door. In fact, when the plague occurred, someone asked about Wu Lien-Te's whereabouts, but in the old time and space, Wu Lien-Te was invited by Yuan Shikai to work in China in 1907 and served as a medical officer of the Beiyang New Army. In this era, in 1907, Yuan Shikai was busy heading south and leaving the right and wrong place in the capital, so he did not invite Wu Lien-Te. He did not know Wu Lien-Te's whereabouts, so he did not know.

So Zhou Weiying said, "Wait a minute and give me a letter."

After hearing this, Xiao Zhao hurriedly handed the letter to Zhou Weiying. Zhou Weiying took it and opened it. Sure enough, the person she recommended was Wu Lien-teh.

It turns out that although Wu Liande was from an overseas Chinese, his family background was not ordinary. His father Wu Qixue was from Taishan, Guangdong. He traveled to Penang to run a gold shop business. He has a wealthy family background and is very famous among the local overseas Chinese. His second uncle Lin Guoxiang was a famous general of the Beiyang Navy and the captain of the Guangyi Ship; his third uncle Lin Guoyu was also a general of the Beiyang Navy and was the commander of the Zhiyuan Shipeng. He died with Deng Shichang during the Battle of Dadonggou. His father-in-law Huang Naichang was a famous patriotic overseas Chinese in the old time and space. He participated in the public bus writing and the Hundred Days Reform Movement. He went to Nanyang to make a living due to the failure of the reform. In the old time and space, he also participated in the Xinhai Revolution. His wife's uncle Huang Naimo was also a general of the Beiyang Naimo, who served as the deputy director of the Zhiyuan Ship and died with Deng Shichang.

After Wu Lien-teh returned from the UK, because he did not receive an invitation from Yuan Shikai to work in the Beiyang New Army like the old time and space, but with the support of his family, he opened a private clinic in Penang, which practiced medicine as a business. His family and his wife's family are very famous among local overseas Chinese and have some business dealings with Zhang Zhenxun. Therefore, Zhang Zhenxun suggested that the two families return to China to start a business, and strongly praised the East China government's advantages such as enlightenedness, integrity, efficiency, and self-improvement. Wu and Huang families were originally Chinese, and moved to Nanyang, so they naturally wanted to return to China.

However, the Wu and Huang families are now big and have industries in the Nanyang area, so it is not so easy to return to China. They also have some understanding of the East China Government, but after all, they are not deep. Naturally, they cannot move their families back to China just by saying Zhang Zhenxun. After the two families discussed, they decided to let Wu Liande return to China first to see the direction of the wind. Zhang Zhenxun had no objection and wrote a letter of recommendation to Wu Liande. So Wu Liande came to Qingdao and first submitted a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Civil Affairs saw that it was Zhang Zhenxun's letter of recommendation, and he was also a doctor of medicine, so he arranged him to the People's Army General Hospital to meet Zhou Weiying directly.

Originally, Zhou Weiying didn't plan to deal with this matter. After all, she was going to Northeast China tomorrow. These things should be left to the acting dean. But even though it was Wu Liante, Zhou Weiying changed her mind and said, "Let's do it, invite him in, I'll see him first."

Not long after, Xiao Zhao brought in a young man in a suit, of medium figure, about 30 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked gentle and kind.

Zhou Weiying immediately stood up and said, "It's Mr. Wu Liante! Please sit down."

Xiao Zhao hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu, this is President Zhou of our hospital."

Wu Lien-Te was also a little surprised because Zhou Weiying was not only a woman, but she was too young. She probably didn't look 30 years old, but she was actually the director of such a large hospital. Although Wu Lien-Te studied in Europe for many years and was used to women working, because he was the most profession of women in the medical industry in this era, most women in Europe work as nurses, and few doctors are the ones, let alone directors. Moreover, such a large-scale hospital is rare in Europe. It is inevitable that such a young and pretty woman should serve as the director. Wu Lien-Te would think more about what position this woman relies on.

In fact, Wu Lien-teh had already arrived at the East China Government. He lived in Shanghai for a few days, and then went to Qingdao. He mainly wanted to observe the social landscape of the East China Government. It should be said that the observations over the past few days still made Wu Lien-teh very satisfied. Shanghai and Qingdao’s urban construction, order, and public facilities were not much compared with European cities. Later, he sent Zhang Zhenxun’s recommendation letter, service attitude and efficiency to the Ministry of Civil Affairs also satisfies Wu Lien-teh, but when he saw Zhou Weiying today, Wu Lien-teh was somewhat shaken.

However, it was the first time we met, and Wu Liante did not dare to show it on his face, saying: "Wu Liante is from Xinning County, Guangdong Province. He is now living in Penang, Nanyang. He studied medicine at Cambridge University in the UK. This time he was entrusted by Mr. Zhang Zhenxun to come to serve and serve the country and benefit the people."

But Wu Lien-Te said a lot, but Zhou Weiying seemed to be confused. At least half of them didn't understand it. It turned out that Wu Lien-Te's hometown speech was Cantonese, but Wu Lien-Te had been studying in the UK for a long time and spoke English very fluently. It was not easy to speak about rural speech, just like foreigners speaking Cantonese with their tongues. Of course, Wu Lien-Te's language problem at the Penang Prescription Institute was not very big. Locals all speak Cantonese, and even if Wu Lien-Te pronunciation is not accurate, they can generally understand it. If it is a more authentic Cantonese, Zhou Wei-ying can understand it even if he is not strong, but Wu Lien-Te's English Cantonese language is too difficult for Zhou Wei-ying.

After Wu Liante finished speaking, he also realized that Zhou Weiying did not understand. He knew that it was her own country saying that she was not speaking neatly, and said, "Sorry, I have been studying in Europe for a long time, so..."

Zhou Weiying said in English: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Wu just speaks English, so that we can communicate with each other."

After hearing this, Wu Liande was relieved and quickly switched to English and said, "Okay, okay, this is the best."

Sure enough, when the two communicated in English, there was no language barrier, and the conversation went very smoothly. After a few words, Wu Liande was even more surprised because Zhou Weiying's English was very fluent, including some medical terms, and it was obvious that it was a one-day success. You should know that Chinese people who could speak English in this era were rare. Those who could achieve such a skillful and fluent person were definitely not ordinary people. From this point of view, there was probably a reason why this young woman could be at such a high position.

The two talked for more than half an hour, mainly because Zhou Weiying asked Wu Lien-teh some questions. Wu Lien-teh also put away his slightest gaze of Zhou Weiying and answered seriously one by one.

Finally, Zhou Weiying said: "It's great. Now we really need a talent like Mr. Wu, so on behalf of the East China Government, I can welcome Mr. Wu to join us. I hope Mr. Wu can fully display his talents and learn from us, cure diseases and save lives, and benefit society."

Wu Lien-te hurriedly said: "Thank you, President Zhou, I am also very happy to be able to work under the rule of the East China Government."

Zhou Weiying nodded and said, "In this way, I will go to the Northeast tomorrow to participate in the plague prevention and control work there. Mr. Wu must have heard of the plague."

Wu Lien-te said: "I saw news about this in the newspaper. Is Dean Zhou going to participate in epidemic prevention work in person? It's quite dangerous to go to the epidemic area now!"

Zhou Weiying smiled and said, "Of course! But isn't the doctor's responsibility to save lives and heal the wounded? He can only care about his own safety. This hospital is the largest hospital in our East China Government. I am the director of this hospital. Therefore, if I don't take the lead in going to the epidemic area in person, who is willing to go?"

Wu Lien-te couldn't help but feel respectful. It seemed that he had completely wrong when he started the wedding. It was absolutely true that this woman could sit in this position based on this doctor's heart. Therefore, he said sincerely: "I admire President Zhou's kindness and admiration."
