Transmigrating Through the Heavens: Starting with the Silly Pillar of the Courtyard

Chapter 277 Private Car

Like everyone else in Shenyang City and the Shen family, no one thought highly of Wu Tao. So when Shen Yuchu hesitated, he, as the head of the Shen family, made the final decision to have Shen Yuchu annul the engagement.

Later, in order to prevent Wu Tao from causing trouble for Shen Yuchu in Beijing, they thought of giving him a job and a Beijing residency permit to solve the problem.

At the time, their decision seemed correct, and Wu Tao indeed did not continue to pester Shen Yuchu.

After that, the Shen family never paid any more attention to Wu Tao, as if he and the Shen family were two parallel lines.

Logically, Wu Tao would have spent his entire life working as a factory doctor in that small factory.

With his limited medical skills, he could barely make ends meet if he spent his whole life working in the factory.

Who would have thought that Wu Tao would be such an anomaly, able to rise to become a renowned doctor in Beijing even while working in a factory?

Wu Tao became an expert in the newly established Health Bureau, which also allowed him to come into contact with many high-ranking leaders.

Shenyang City was also responsible for part of the work of the Health Bureau, and he was all too aware of the power of those people inside.

Wu Tao never expected that his first meeting with Shenyang City would be in such a setting.

He had never actually met any of the Shen family members, and he had only met Shen Changhe once, when the other party went to pick him up at the train station.

However, Shen Yuchu had shown Wu Tao a family photo and carefully described the appearances of the Shen family members.

In addition, Wu Tao's extraordinary mental strength allowed him to recognize his former prospective father-in-law the moment he saw Shenyang City.

Wu Tao himself did not take the Health Bureau seriously, but that did not diminish the importance of the Health Bureau.

This concerned the lives of many senior leaders, so Wu Tao had no choice but to attend the first plenary meeting held after the Health Bureau was officially established.

Wu Tao only learned a lot about the Health Bureau after communicating with Zhang Jiale, the clerk in charge of his work, several times.

Zhang Jiale is now essentially Wu Tao's bodyguard and driver. That's right, Wu Tao now has his own car.

Wu Tao originally thought that as an unofficial staff member, the Health Bureau would most likely not easily contact him if there was anything wrong.

However, Wu Tao underestimated his own fame and importance.

Several experts who knew Wu Tao praised him highly to the leaders of the Health Bureau.

Those experts even vouched for Wu Tao, guaranteeing that his medical skills were among the best in the Health Bureau.

The experts recruited by the Health Bureau were not idle people; they were mostly experts, vice presidents, or directors from major hospitals in Beijing.

Although the Health Bureau is an agency that serves the leaders, it is impossible for so many experts to be stationed at the Health Bureau around the clock to serve the leaders.

So everyone is actually on an adjunct basis; only those with average to below-average technical skills become full-time members.

Since many experts are not part of the official staff, their schedules must be taken into consideration if an emergency arises that requires their assistance.

Those holding positions in major hospitals don't need to worry; they can easily mobilize vehicles themselves.

Many people even have private cars to pick them up and drop them off, which ensures that they can reach their designated locations at any time if needed.

Wu Tao is somewhat of an anomaly; he currently works as a factory doctor at Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2. He is unable to quickly reach the required location when needed.

It might be difficult to arrange a special car in other places. What kind of place is the Health Bureau?

This is an organization that is currently receiving strong support from various ministries and commissions, so a jeep is nothing to them.

After communicating with several experts, the leaders of the Health Bureau had already come to regard Wu Tao as the bureau's trump card.

With such an ace up his sleeve, how could he allow the other to slack off? So Zhang Jiale, who had just returned from military service, became Wu Tao's bodyguard, driver, and secretary.

Zhang Jiale then drove a brand-new Jeep to the Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2's factory hospital.

Dean Chen Song had already received the notification and even thoughtfully arranged an office for Zhang Jiale next to Wu Tao's clinic.

Wu Tao is now a big shot at the factory hospital, and he has opened a fourth department on his own.

Zhang Jiale is a driver, and his house even has a special red telephone installed.

He also had a cot in his room, which meant he was on duty all day and ready to be on call at any time.

Wu Tao didn't care about these things, and he knew that his opposition would be futile, so he just let things take their course.

Zhang Jiale informed Wu Tao that he needed to attend a general meeting at the Health Bureau on Monday.

Wu Tao arrived at the Health Bureau before 8 a.m. on Monday. The Health Bureau was a large, five-story white office building.

The first floor houses several department offices, while the meeting room is on the second floor.

Zhang Jiale then led Wu Tao to the third floor, opened an office, and told Wu Tao that this was his office.

Inside the room was an office desk, a sofa, a coffee table, and a bookcase.

Wu Tao glanced at it casually and then left.

He never imagined he would have to come here to work every day, even though he now receives a monthly salary of two hundred yuan from the health bureau.

With the addition of the 200 yuan he earns each month at the Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2, Wu Tao's monthly salary is now 400 yuan.

Compared to the average worker's monthly salary of around thirty yuan, his salary is ten times that of the other worker.

Wu Tao left his office and planned to go for a walk outside.

The Health Bureau's courtyard is very large, with artificial hills, lawns, and a long corridor.

At this time, many experts were exchanging ideas in small groups, but Wu Tao did not recognize them.

When people saw Wu Tao, they all assumed he was just an ordinary clerk in the bureau or someone's secretary, and no one came over to talk to him.

Wu Tao never expected that he would suddenly encounter Shenyang City just because he wanted to take a stroll in the courtyard.

Shenyang Cheng also attended the meeting today, but he was just a participant and observer. All the leaders who spoke at the meeting today were at the ministerial level.

Since we arrived in Shenyang City early, we took a stroll around the courtyard downstairs.

When he met Wu Tao face to face, both of them were stunned. Wu Tao had seen the family photo that Shen Yuchu had taken out and knew who the other person was.

Shenyang City discovered Wu Tao's photo while reviewing the experts' information.

Both of them knew who the other was, but they had never actually met before, so they pretended not to know each other and planned to pass each other by.

"Dr. Wu, it really is you! That's wonderful! I was wondering if you would come to the meeting today."

Wu Tao turned his head and discovered that the other person was a member of the expert group from Peking Union Medical College Hospital who had come to Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2 to investigate.

Professor Niu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital wasn't alone; he was accompanied by several other people, who all seemed to be influential figures like him.

"Hello, Professor Niu, we meet again."

"Come on, everyone, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Wu from Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2, whom I've been telling you about."

"I've heard so much about you, Dr. Wu. I've long heard that a miracle doctor came from the Kyoto Steel Plant No. 2. Today I'm finally able to see him in person."

Wu Tao was immediately surrounded by several middle-aged and elderly people, who began exchanging pleasantries with him.

Shenyang Cheng paused, listening to the experts behind him praising Wu Tao, and left with a heavy heart.
