Dong Hanxiang nodded and said, "Old Zhu, if you really think this way, then I admire you. We who do education must never engage in fraud. Previously, several local schools also wanted to merge and upgrade to a university. In order to pass the inspection, they invited guests and sent gifts, engaging in it happily. Later, what was the use of passing the provincial inspection? The State Council's expert acceptance didn't pass, and it was all in vain."

Su Xinghui and Zhu Jimin both nodded in agreement. Su Xinghui gave a thumbs up and said, "Director Dong, admire, admire!"

Dong Hanxiang said, "What is there to admire? I am just too straightforward and like to tell the truth. Sometimes it's not likable."

Su Xinghui said, "We are still too lacking in cadres like you who like to tell the truth. If there were a few more cadres like you, that would be good."

Dong Hanxiang looked at Su Xinghui, seemingly looking at whether what he said was sincere or fake. He laughed and said, "Mayor Su, I heard you are a high-achieving student of Professor Qin Jie?"

Hearing Dong Hanxiang mention his mentor's name, Su Xinghui nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, Professor Qin is exactly my mentor!"

Dong Hanxiang said, "A few years ago, when I went to Jiangcheng for academic exchange, I had the honor to visit Professor Qin Jie and witnessed the demeanor of a master!"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, my teacher is indeed one of the few masters now."

Zhu Jimin said, "Hmm, Professor Qin is a master of Sinology. I have also always respected him very much, but it's a pity that I haven't had the honor to visit him until now. If there is an opportunity, I hope Mayor Su can take me to visit Professor Qin once."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Alright, this is no problem. Actually, the teacher is a very easygoing person and has no airs for anyone. When he sees old men playing chess on the street, he can play a few games with them. Once he met a beggar who said his family was in trouble, he not only took out money to help but also chatted with the beggar for a long time."

Su Xinghui's words made Dong Hanxiang and Zhu Jimin both feel awe. Dong Hanxiang nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Qin Jie truly has the demeanor of a master and has no airs at all. Now he is nearly seventy years old, but he still retains a childlike heart, which is really rare. That year he also chatted with me for a long time and even inscribed a piece of calligraphy for me."

Su Xinghui said in surprise, "The teacher inscribed calligraphy for you? He generally doesn't inscribe calligraphy for people."

Professor Qin Jie generally doesn't inscribe calligraphy for people he doesn't know very well because he feels his calligraphy is not very good, and inscribing calligraphy for others is not a very good thing.

Dong Hanxiang said, "I asked him for calligraphy, but he refused, saying his calligraphy was not written well. However, he couldn't withstand my bitter begging, so he wrote 'Ten years to grow trees, a hundred years to cultivate people' for me."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "These words are very suitable for you."

Dong Hanxiang laughed and said, "Then do you know why I know your name?"

Su Xinghui asked, "How did you know?"

Dong Hanxiang said, "After Professor Qin finished writing these words, he always felt dissatisfied, but I felt it was already written very well. He could only sign his name and gave it to me. However, he said he had a student whose calligraphy was written much better than his and could be called a calligraphy master. So I asked him what this student's name was, and he said it was Su Xinghui, so I remembered this name firmly."

Su Xinghui said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is the teacher's elevation of me."

Dong Hanxiang said, "I don't think it's elevation. I have also seen several pieces of calligraphy you wrote in Professor Qin's study. Among them, that 'Youth Journey' was really written well. It was written with flying and unrestrained spirit, full of youthful vigor, making people feel spirited when they see it. I heard that you wrote that piece of calligraphy not long after graduation, so your calligraphy now must be written even better, right?"

Hearing Dong Hanxiang mention that "Youth Journey," Su Xinghui remembered the process of writing that piece of calligraphy. Unexpectedly, Professor Qin would tell Dong Hanxiang that Su Xinghui's calligraphy was written much better than his and could be called a calligraphy master, which made Su Xinghui feel somewhat fearful and uneasy.

Zhu Jimin laughed and said, "Old Dong, Mayor Su's calligraphy is indeed written well. If our Baozhou University is officially established, we will let him inscribe the school name."

Dong Hanxiang said, "Old Zhu, you chose Mayor Su to inscribe the school name, you chose correctly."

Su Xinghui said, "Ashamed, ashamed."

The three of them were all people with learning, and once they started chatting, they were very compatible, chatting until after ten o'clock in the evening. In order not to delay Dong Hanxiang's rest, Su Xinghui and Zhu Jimin then said goodbye.

Although Dong Hanxiang was a person who didn't follow private feelings, they chatted so compatibly that there would always be some benefits. Since Dong Hanxiang was straightforward and didn't follow private feelings, they naturally wouldn't worry that he would make things difficult for Baozhou.

For this inspection, they all held great confidence.

Just when the inspection team came to Baozhou for inspection, the Baozhou Green Oasis Charity Hospital quietly started business. They rented the building of the original Baozhou Supply and Marketing Mall as the business location.
