　　The Prime Minister Hall is very large, covering an area of 200 square meters and divided into three areas: the dining area, the lounge room, and the tea room.
　　When Director Li heard the voice, he immediately turned his head and looked towards the lounge room.
　　Creak——
The door of the lounge room opened, and an old man wearing a Tang suit and a cane walked out from inside.
　　The old man was over seventy years old. His sparse hair was combed back. There were several age spots on his thin face. Although he looked very old, there was a huge aura on his body. At a glance, he was not an ordinary person.
　　“Old Xiang！”
　　Director Li was shocked and quickly stood up and said to the old man, “Hello, Old Xiang.”
　　“Hmph~”
　　The old man snorted heavily and then said to Liu Chao, “Little Liu, come and help me.”
　　“Old Xiang, let the younger generation do it.” Director Li stepped forward and wanted to help the old man.
　　The old man suddenly raised his cane and blocked Director Li, saying, “I’m an old bone. I don’t dare to trouble Director Li.”
　　Director Li had an embarrassed look on his face.
　　“Let me do it.” Liu Chao helped the old man and sat down on the chair.
　　Standing beside the old man, Director Li apologized and said, “Old Xiang, the younger generation didn’t know you were coming. It’s really inappropriate to neglect you. I hope Old Xiang can forgive me.”
　　“I’m used to it. Since I retired, few people have taken this old bone of mine seriously.” The old man said, “Only Little Liu often comes to see me.”
　　Liu Chao smiled and said, “A teacher for a day is a father for life. You are my teacher. It’s right to visit you.”
　　The old man took a sip of tea and said, “Director Li…”
　　“Old Xiang, you can just call me Little Li.” Director Li said respectfully.
　　The old man said, “You are the top leader of the Health Bureau. How dare I call you Xiao Li? It will make me lose my life.”
Director Li felt a bit bad in his heart.
　　Old Xiang’s tone towards him was very unfriendly, which indicated that he was extremely dissatisfied with him.
“Liu Chao wants to fire Ye Qiu and knows that I will stop it, so he deliberately invited Old Xiang over put pressure on me?”
　　”If it’s just like this, there’s no need to spend a lot of money to set up a table here, right？”
　　”It seems that tonight’s meal is a Hongmen Banquet！”
　　Director Li thought of this and immediately said, “Old Xiang, no matter when, I am always your junior.”
　　The old man said, “Director Li, you defend that Ye Qiu so much. Did you receive any benefits from him？”
　　Director Li quickly said, “Old Xiang, please see clearly. The junior has absolutely not received any benefits from Ye Qiu. It’s just that Ye Qiu cured my father’s illness and has kindness to me.”
　　”Is that really the case？” The old man didn’t believe it at all.
　　”That’s really the case.” Director Li added, “The junior doesn’t dare to deceive the senior.”
　　”Even if Ye Qiu cured your father’s illness, but his promotion to the director of the Chinese Medicine Department, there is your credit in it, right？ So, you don’t owe him a favor and don’t need to defend him anymore.”
　　The old man continued, “As the top leader of the Health Bureau, Liu Chao is your subordinate. Now that he has been beaten, shouldn’t you uphold justice for him？”
　　Would Liu Chao be beaten if he didn’t stir up trouble？
　　Director Li asked tentatively, “Old Xiang, what do you mean？”
　　Old Xiang said, “I suggest that Ye Qiu be fired from Jiangzhou Hospital. In addition, a doctor like him who beats people casually should have his medical license revoked.”
　　Liu Chao then said, “The medical cause is the top priority of our society. Ye Qiu dared to hit me, and he will also dare to hit patients in the future. In order to avoid more serious situations, a black sheep like Ye Qiu should be promptly removed from the medical system.”
　　Director Li was shocked.
　　This is to block Ye Qiu！
　　Once Ye Qiu’s medical license is revoked, in the future, no matter where he goes, he cannot treat patients.
　　This is too vicious！
　　”Director Li, what do you think？” The old man asked when he saw that Director Li didn’t speak.
　　Director Li said, “Ye Qiu’s medical skills are very powerful. He is a rare master of traditional Chinese medicine. Given time, he will surely become a national master of traditional Chinese medicine.”
　　”He is still young, and I don’t think his medical license should be revoked.”
　　”Maybe there is some misunderstanding between him and President Liu. I am willing to be an intermediary and help mediate…”
　　Before Director Li could finish speaking, Liu Chao sneered and said, “Misunderstanding？ Director Li, look at the injury on my face. Is this a misunderstanding？”
　　”This matter is already obvious. It is that Ye Qiu who disrespects his elders and beats people. What other misunderstandings can there be？” The old man said, “Director Li, you don’t agree with the suggestion I just made, right？”
　　”Old Xiang, I think…”
　　”You just need to tell me whether you agree with my suggestion or not？”
　　The old man Xiang exuded a huge aura, and the forehead of Director Li instantly broke out in cold sweat.
　　Director Li said with a stiff scalp, “Old man Xiang, I don’t agree with your suggestion. I think…”
　　”Hmph, since you don’t agree, there’s no need to say any more nonsense.” Old man Xiang interrupted Director Li dissatisfied.
　　Liu Chao said gloomily, “Director Li, it seems that you are deliberately going to be my enemy！”
　　”Dean Liu, that’s not what I meant.” Director Li said, “I just think there’s no need to ruin a young man’s future because of a little thing.”
　　”A doctor, hitting the dean, is this still a small thing？” Liu Chao said, “I can tell you clearly that I’m determined to deal with Ye Qiu.”
Director Li frowned.
　　Liu Chao’s tone of speech was very unpleasant, but with the old man Xiang present, Director Li didn’t show the slightest dissatisfaction.
　　The old man Xiang ordered Liu Chao, “Fire Ye Qiu tomorrow. How can such a person be a doctor？”
　　”Don’t worry, if anyone tries to stop it, I’ll help you deal with it.”
　　”Director Li, if you dare to stop it, I don’t mind telling the relevant departments and getting a new director.”
　　Hearing this, Director Li’s face looked extremely ugly.
　　Just then, with a “bang”, the door opened.
　　Ye Qiu swaggered in from the outside.
　　”Yo, there are quite a few people. Hello, Director Li.” Ye Qiu nodded to Director Li, ignored Liu Chao and the old man Xiang, and sat down on the chair.
　　Then, he reached out and took a bottle of Wuliangye, unscrewed it, poured himself a glass, and then drank it in one gulp.
　　“This wine tastes good.”
　　After drinking, Ye Qiu also commented.
　　Immediately afterwards, Ye Qiu picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
　　Liu Chao’s face was gloomy, and he said, “Ye Qiu, do you understand the rules? Who told you to move the chopsticks?”
　　Ye Qiu said, “Dean Liu, didn’t you invite me to dinner？ What am I supposed to do if I come and don’t eat？”
　　“You——”
　　“Are you Ye Qiu？” Old Xiang said coldly, “Didn’t your adults tell you that juniors can’t eat first before the elders move their chopsticks？ You don’t even know the basic etiquette, and you still deserve to be a doctor？”
　　“I, Ye Qiu, do things as I please. Why do I need to explain to you！” Ye Qiu looked up at Old Xiang and asked with a look of disdain on his face, “By the way, who the hell are you, and you still deserve to talk about me？”
