Chapter 1383: Chapter 1047: Enemies Meet Chapter 1383: Chapter 1047: Enemies Meet With the wedding approaching, Yang Ping took a day to go take wedding photos with Xiao Su, as a sense of ceremony is still necessary. After taking the wedding photos, Yang Ping was brought by Huang Jiacai to Manor Hotel to familiarize himself with the surroundings.

This was Yang Ping’s first time at this hotel. As the protagonist of that day, it was necessary for him to get familiar with the environment, so amidst his busy schedule, Yang Ping would take time to visit, as this would be one of the most important moments in his life.

After touring the Manor Hotel a few times, Huang Jiacai handed over the guest list and the program list to Yang Ping. Yang Ping glanced at it, noticing that no one was missing who should be invited, it seemed to be fine. However, there were many guests Yang Ping had not invited; they had all requested to attend his wedding. Yang Ping regarded the list, seeing various friends in the industry. Although not acquainted with these people nor having interacted face-to-face, some had already engaged in email discussions about academic issues, such as some major editors, while some haven’t even exchanged emails, just being fellow scholars in the field of medicine.

Yang Ping thought about it; everyone meant well and also wanted to use this opportunity to gather and communicate face-to-face.

Having friends come from far places isn’t a bad thing.

Only, this program list was rather eccentric, all the performances included his own friends.

Professor Manstein’s solo of “Tibetan Plateau,” it’s uncertain if he could hit those high notes when the time came.

August and Robert’s comic dialogues would be spot on; those two teamed up could really pull off comic dialogues, let alone just Robert who could manage a monologue himself.

Robert, apart from comic dialogues, is even planning a martial arts performance — unsure whether he’d present Monkey Fist or Broadsword Play.

Woodhead’s act is a stand-up comedy. Wu Zi’s boldness, who has never even passed the Chinese level four exam, is commendable. Is he planning to challenge the field he’s least talented in?

Xiehe’s brothers are even putting on a dance. My goodness, Song Yun and the brothers are really talented. Normally, I only see them performing surgeries, never knew they could dance.

Miyuki, this girl plans to deliver a song by Dao Lang, “Love Song of the West Sea.” Is this appropriate for a wedding? Well, it doesn’t matter; it’s lively anyway.

Huang Jiacai and Gan Fengyi, two absolute magnates in the medical business industry, one representing domestic capital, the other representing foreign capital, are preparing to perform a love song duet, “Myth.” Old Huang, can you really pull it off without bringing down the quality of the whole show?

When Yang Ping’s gaze fell on a program listed by Huang Jiacai himself, Huang Jiacai chuckled awkwardly: “Heh heh, I’m just filling in numbers; Gan Fengyi insisted on pulling me to sing a duet with her.”

“Alright, just don’t go off-key,” Yang Ping wasn’t demanding much.

The subsequent long list of programs dazzled Yang Ping, each person surprisingly multifaceted.

Yang Ping skimmed through the papers handed over by Huang Jiacai.

Yang Ping noticed that Wang Changxin was oddly missing from the preparation committee’s list, which was illogical. Hermes had been back for so long, caring so much about his wedding; how could he be left out, maybe there was some oversight or misunderstanding.

“Why isn’t Hermes included in the planning committee?” Yang Ping still habitually called him Hermes, even though Old Wang had already cast aside that belt.

Huang Jiacai said, “He was initially in, but he keeps coming up with those vulgar ideas all day long, like inviting celebrities to boost the event, using cash to entice guests, or bringing in South Korean girl groups to perform. Basically, he’s all about the tycoon mindset; I criticized him a bit, and he got really offended, saying he can’t be affiliated with me, arguing that I’m uncultured, lacking imagination.”

Hermes seemed to be acting like a child, picking a bone with Huang Jiacai.

“It’s fine, Professor, don’t worry. You know what kind of person he is; very broad-minded, straightforward, he wouldn’t hold a grudge over such trivial stuff, but he indeed thinks about money a lot; he can’t get away from talking about money in every three sentences.”

“Long live understanding. The man’s a gold digger; talking money with you, not feelings? Then fine, let’s avoid any misunderstanding, and if any arise, clear them up immediately, we’re all friends.” Yang Ping advised a few words.

—
Yang Ping’s time was mostly spent on surgeries and scientific research, and he didn’t play much with his phone, so he wasn’t too familiar with current affairs news.

However, that didn’t affect Yang Ping from receiving some external social information, because there was a walking radio in the department, and that was Zhang Lin. Not just hot news, even insider news, he could broadcast them all vividly and clearly to everyone daily, and this broadcast was very humane, not taking up much of everyone’s time. For instance, during surgeries, everyone could perform surgeries while listening to Zhang Lin’s broadcasts, not only soothing the mood but also keeping up to date with external social news.

In the past few days, a significant event occurred outside, but Yang Ping was unaware. When Yang Ping returned to the office, Zhang Lin immediately came over to broadcast: “Professor, something big has happened.”

Yang Ping, startled by his comment: “Has Wen Ruzheng in the Pathology Department written another creepy love letter? Or is he planning to streak again? Or did he pound the table with Director Zhao from Medical Services Office again? It seems like the major events at Sanbo Hospital often involve this guy.”

Zhang Lin shook his head: “No, it’s Wang Ge, the reporter who slandered Director Zhu in the past, he has been arrested and charged by the Public Security Organs, probably facing several years.”
