Chapter 1313: Chapter 1168: Brothers in Adversity? (Subscribe please!)
The next day.
Early morning.
Waking up from a deep sleep,
Mi Hao found his daughter safe and sound
and felt a weight lift from his heart.
After washing up, he took his daughter to the cafeteria, where they offered traditional Chinese breakfasts, as well as specialty breakfasts from various Asian countries. It was very humane, and the food was relatively light.
Compared to the usual atmosphere of a hospital cafeteria,
The faces of the people here
were tinged with more hope.
Similarly,
They didn’t need to pay for meals before checking out of their rooms.
After eating,
Mi Hao followed the instructions of the rescue center staff and took a bus to the Central Hospital. He had another injection, received more medicine, and the hospital conducted another examination. Looking at the results, Mi Hao became excited.
It was effective.
Truly effective.
This was just one day.
All the indicators had shown signs of improvement.
After leaving the hospital,
he went to the security pavilion where Rong Wei worked. Rong Wei had just started his shift. "Thank you so much for yesterday. Are you free for lunch today? I’d like to treat you to a meal; that wouldn’t be considered a bribe, right?"
"Sorry, we have a policy that during work hours we can only eat work meals," Rong Wei said, smiling as he declined,
"How about dinner?" Mi Hao asked.
Rong Wei shook his head, "I have to go home for dinner. If you really want to thank me, come visit sometime if you can. We’re a tourist city and welcome everyone to come and experience it and consume."
"..."
Mi Hao could only say, "Alright, I’ll be sure to let you know if I get the chance to visit Kunming, Huaxia."
"Sure thing," Rong Wei said with a smile.
That’s a possibility.
After leaving the security pavilion, Mi Hao took his daughter for a stroll around the city. Unlike yesterday, when he had no place to stay, now that the accommodation issue was resolved, he began to truly appreciate the city.
...
In Nebitu.
After wandering around following a meal,
Lang Cai habitually turned on the news channel and found that, just like the previous days, the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group was dominating the news again with various reports, almost making Lang Cai think it was a foreign news station.
Ling.
Truly adept at creating miracles.
Cancer treatment drugs.
It was unbelievable that a local company had developed them. A few years ago, Myanma could only produce simple medicines for colds and headaches. Now, they had transformed overnight into one of the world’s leaders.
One could imagine
how immense the interests were.
So large that
an individual couldn’t protect them alone. Only Ling, by monopolizing Myanmar’s medical sector and turning all its people into supporters, could guard such a thing.
It must be said,
Ling was very timely.
His methods were bold, and it could be anticipated that this company would be very profitable in the future. If it went public in the United States, the currently booming ERV would probably bow down, although it was unlikely Ling would do so given his pride.
Even if that were the case,
it would be on the stock market in Myanma.
Through the news,
Lang Cai saw Myanma progress in so many ways, a progress he had been unable to achieve in his lifetime, and felt mostly relieved. Though Ling’s rise had some coercive overtones, the outcome was positive.
Noon.
A guest arrived at Lang Cai’s.
---Lu Sang.
Three days ago,
Lu Sang had officially retired.
Having completed the formalities and relinquished all actual power, he was content to live out his retirement at home. His authority had been handed over to Wu Lei, who could be said to have taken refuge in Ling. In Lang Cai’s view, he and Lu Song were like brothers in adversity.
However.
Lu Song didn’t see it that way.
He had stepped down.
Not because he was forced by Ling.
But voluntarily. Previously, he was a staunch supporter of Lang Cai, his right-hand man. But his pride would not allow him to defect, so the only way to find some peace was to retreat.
This retirement.
Allowed him to face Lang Cai with dignity.
Ling had advised him to continue serving in the military.
But Lu Song refused. He was getting older and thought it was better to leave with a reputation for being ’indomitable.’ Once Canghai had set a high standard, with Wu Lei on top, any other position was, in fact, a demotion.
Being without office gave a sense of lightness.
Which was also nice.
"Old friend, long time no see," Lu Song said, smiling at Lang Cai. Years of friendship made his heart carry a sense of guilt, but regardless of the guilt, he had to come.
"You, why bother?" Lang Cai sighed; he had long since lost his anger.
Lu Song had defected collectively with Wu Lei.
There must have been an absolute reason for Lu Song to do so.
"It’s quite good like this. Old age can’t keep up with the times, and there’s Wu Lei anyway," Lu Song said with a light laugh, shaking his head. Ling had also promised that in the future, there would definitely be someone from the military among his deputies.
"Wu Lei is no match for Ling," Lang Cai said with a bitter smile.
"Even if we joined forces, we’re not, Ling’s intelligence, I no longer know how to evaluate. In the future, we should just stop worrying about court affairs," Lu Song took a sip of tea and said.
During this period.
Ling had placed a large number of people from the Myanmar faction into positions.
Basically.
He had taken control of the situation, and besides, it was a fair competition for posts, which in the end proved that Ling’s subordinates were truly talented. They completely overshadowed their subordinates in military skills and command experience.
That major competition.
Lu Song remembered it vividly.
It was a disaster.
They were utterly crushed.
One could say they were completely overwhelmed. If there were rankings, not a single skill from their original leader Jiang would make the top ten. It was through that major competition that Ling unobstructedly replaced and promoted a large number of his people.
No one could object.
With Ling’s proper arrangements.
There were barely any ripples created. The entire power transition was completed with astonishing speed. Now, even he found it difficult to obtain too much secret information from the military, because Ling had directly altered the entire military regulations of Myanmar.
Secrecy.
Discipline.
Was stressed countless times.
In the future.
He guessed that chatting with Wu Lei.
Would be limited to household trivialities, nothing more. Thinking about this, Lu Song couldn’t help but laugh wryly. Life indeed did not always go as planned. However, having discipline was a good thing, and he supported it.
A soldier’s combat power.
Came from technology as well as from discipline.
"That’s true. Actually, I’m a bit curious, how did Ling convince you to agree to help him?" Lang Cai asked, curious.
This issue.
Had always been a mystery to him.
Hearing the question, Lu Song thought for a moment and then shook his head, "This issue involves some secrets, even I can’t disclose them carelessly. All I can say is that it wasn’t interests or threats."
"I won’t ask then, I trust you," Lang Cai had no choice but to let it go.
"Thank you."
Lu Song said.
As he recalled that day.
Ling had shown him the entire military development plan for Myanmar’s future. He had thought he would only play a minor role, but he didn’t expect Ling to have such grand ambitions, aiming to create one of the world’s top ten military powers.
Apart from various reforms.
There were also self-developed weapons.
At the time.
Having seen some of Ling’s data and even witnessed a type of smart weapon, Lu Song was speechless for a long time. But he knew, perhaps it was only in Ling’s hands that Myanmar’s future had hope.
