In such a public occasion, Lu Xiyan dared not have any contact with Fang Ye, even if it was a small move or a look.

Who knew that there were no Japanese plainclothes agents at the conference today?

If he was discovered, even a small suspicion could lead to a disaster, so he could only restrain his strong thoughts and wait for the end of the meeting.

There must be more than one venue for such medical seminars and exchanges. Zhendan University and Guangci College are both famous institutions and hospitals in Shanghai, so they naturally need to undertake some conference arrangements.

Lu Xiyan is the most famous young doctor in Shanghai in recent years and a top doctor in thoracic surgery and brain surgery. Therefore, he still needs to serve as an important speaker for the exchanges in two important surgical fields.

This is the only person in the exchange meeting who needs to serve as the speaker of two exchange seminars. Once he takes up such a podium and is recognized by his peers, it is not only a huge honor, but also a great achievement made by the Chinese in these two fields.

This made Lu Xiyan feel even more stressed on his shoulders.

Of course, he is also very eager for such academic exchanges. After all, experts and scholars from so many countries around the world have their own opinions and discoveries. If they can learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, this is of great significance to the progress of the entire medical community.

The preparation and reception meetings are held until the afternoon, and many issues must be determined today, such as issues at the venue, accommodation arrangements, and visits and exchange activities.

Especially for the budget and expenditure of the exchange meeting, the Japanese and the Shanghai Special Municipal Government paid one-third of the money. Therefore, the conference agreed that some experts and scholars stayed at the Licha Hotel while they were in Shanghai, and the rest lived in Huamao and Wanguo Hotel.

As for how to arrange it, everything is based on the principle of proximity.

Then the arrangements of the venues discussed by each branch gave some tilts to Hongkou District and the areas controlled by the Shanghai Special Municipal Government.

If someone pays money, you can't just make a shout.

Some less important seminars were put away, and nothing was wrong.

The rest are concentrated in major universities and hospitals in the two concessions, and in the French concession, mainly in the Zhendan University, Guangci Hospital and the Pasteur Institute.

In order to win the right to host a branch meeting, many people fought for each other at the meeting. The two people who had a good relationship usually became popular in the end, and they were not without harsh words.

For many people, such an opportunity is too rare. If you don’t compete for it once, the next such a medical event will be held in Shanghai. I don’t know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

Finally, Lu Xiyan found an opportunity. While eating, he sat diagonally opposite Fang Ye, pretending to be meaningless and tapped on the table, and asked Fang Ye to find time to see him below.

Generally speaking, Fang Ye takes the initiative to make an appointment with Lu Xiyan, and Lu Xiyan never takes the initiative to make an appointment with him. Only in this way can Fang Ye's safety be guaranteed to the maximum extent.

Of course, Fang Ye kept paying attention to Lu Xiyan quietly. When he saw Lu Xiyan secretly making an appointment with him in this way, he immediately responded.

After the meeting, Queen's Restaurant.

Queen's Restaurant, Lu Xiyan knew that on Nanjing Road, a good Western restaurant mainly deals in pastries and desserts, which are deeply loved by some girls with petty bourgeois styles.

Generally, many young people like to go to that place when they are in love.

Lu Xiyan frowned and asked for a place like this. If a big man came over, he would be a little suspicious. After thinking about it, it would be almost time to go home for dinner after work.

It would be better to ask Meng Fanxing to come out for a meal together. They haven’t enjoyed the time when they were alone outside for a long time.

"Chengcheng, I'm full. There is a friend over there. I'll go and greet me. You can go to the venue to find me later." Lu Xiyan stood up and ordered.

"Okay, teacher." Cheng Cheng, who was feasting, nodded.

Hotel reception.

"Miss, I want to make a call." Lu Xiyan said to the waiter.

"Okay, sir, please use it." The staff at the service desk nodded and responded.

"Hey, Meimei, it's me..."

...

"Sir, he just went to the hotel reception desk and made a phone call." A young man in a hotel waiter uniform came in through the employee passage, opened a workroom door, walked in, and reported to the darkness a man in a top hat.

"What did he say?"

"I don't know, I didn't hear it clearly. There seemed to be a young woman on the other end of the phone." said the little flat-headed waiter.

"Woman, have you found the phone number?"

"Finished..."

"Go check this phone number right now." The man in the top hat said in a low voice in the darkness.

"Hayi!"

...

"Thank you." Lu Xiyan finished the phone call, smiled, and left. There was no problem with his phone call. He asked his wife to come out for a date and had a meal, which was not a secret.

After a short break, the meeting continued.

Because of the disagreement, the afternoon meeting was not going smoothly. It was not until nearly five o'clock that a plan was barely reached that all three parties accepted.

Lu Xiyan did not have much say in this plan. He just tried his best to gain some benefits for Guangci Hospital and Zhendan University Medical School. As for the others, he was not easy to speak.

Of course, there are inevitably compromises and concessions here.

At the meeting, the Japanese representatives were aggressive, and the representatives of the Shanghai Medical Association and the British and American concessions were also unwilling to give in. Especially the representatives of the International Red Cross, as the organizer, it is even more impossible for them to hand over the initiative, otherwise the medical seminar would not be held.

You should know that it is not easy to invite experts and scholars and professors to China to attend conferences, especially in this country that is plagued by war.

The Japanese side did not want to part ways, so they did not force too much and accepted the plan after the final compromise.

"Dr. Lu, let's go back together?" After the meeting, President George greeted warmly.

"No, tomorrow is just the weekend, I will have an appointment with my wife to have dinner in the evening." Lu Xiyan smiled tactfully and refused.

"Haha, a happy weekend!"

"Thanks."

"Brother Lu, find a place to sit?" Gu Zhuxuan came out of the venue and greeted Lu Xiyan with a smile.

"Okay, but it won't take too long. I'll make an appointment with Meimei to have supper together." Lu Xiyan said with a smile.

"It won't delay you for too long." Gu Zhuxuan nodded.

"good."

The two found a tea shop on Sichuan Road, ordered a pot of tea, sat down, and held the bodyguards and other things out.

"Brother Lu, this medical seminar, the Japanese will definitely make a big fuss about it. In terms of public opinion propaganda, even newspapers with foreign backgrounds cannot escape the fate of supervision. A while ago, the Sino-US Daily and Huamei Evening News were smashed by the traitors of No. 76." Gu Zhuxuan said.

"Brother Gu, do you think the situation will continue to deteriorate?"

"This is for sure. Japan's covetousness for the concession has been more than a day or two. Sooner or later, they will enter the concession and use the '76' to cause trouble in the concession, forcing the Ministry of Industry and Public Administration and the Bureau of Public Administration to concession continuously. One day, they will take over the concession directly. By that time, the isolated island of the concession will no longer shelter you and me." Tani Zhuxuan said.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean?"

"Brother Lu, we must prepare for the future. If we can't stand this humiliation, we have to go one way. We are born and raised here. Even if we can go out, where can we go? Europe and the United States are the territory of others. If we go there, we still have to be humans with our tails. What's the difference between being enslaved by the Japanese?" Gu Zhuxuan said, "Once a person has no national protection, he will be discriminated against and bullied wherever he goes."

I have to say that Gu Zhuxuan’s understanding made Lu Xiyan look at him with admiration. None of the people in these gangs can make a fool.

Sometimes they are calm and smarter than many elites and can see more thoroughly.

"What do Brother Gu have any ideas? Why don't you say it?" Lu Xiyan could see that Gu Zhuxuan had something to say to him.

"Brother Lu, I never thought that if there was no place for us to set up a cone in Shanghai that day, what place could we go?"

"I am a doctor, who only treats diseases and saves people, and then does some business. I don't understand political matters and don't want to get involved. Even if the Japanese occupy Shanghai, they won't want to mess up Shanghai's economy. That will not be of any benefit to them." Although Lu Xiyan has cooperated with Gu Zhuxuan, some words cannot be said easily.

"The reason is this reason, but what if one day the Japanese force you to cooperate with them?"

"What can the Japanese get from me? To recruit me as a military doctor, or to invest in my company?" Lu Xiyan asked with a smile.

"If they really want to invest in your company, would you agree?" Gu Zhuxuan stared at Lu Xiyan and asked.

"Unless I die, it is impossible." Lu Xiyan said that it is absolutely impossible to let the Japanese invest in his own company. This is his bottom line of principle. Even if he closes his own company, he will never accept the Japanese investing.

The bottom line of principles that should be maintained must be adhered to.

"Okay, with Brother Lu's words, I'll be relieved." Gu Zhuxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Gu, the time is almost over. I have made an appointment with Meimei. You know that women cannot wait for women." Lu Xiyan stood up and said goodbye.

"Brother Lu, please."

"Brother, stay."

"How is it, uncle, what did he say?" Lu Xiyan left, and a person came into Gu Zhuxuan's room. He was also an acquaintance. He was Gu Zhuxuan's nephew, Gu Shuping.

"He is very smart and very good at hiding his true thoughts in his heart, but I feel that he hates the Japanese in his heart." Tani Zhuxuan said.

"Can you pull him to our side?" Gu Shuping asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, haste will not be achieved."

...

Lu Xiyan got into the car and rushed to the Queen's Restaurant as fast as possible. He had to meet Fang Ye before Meng Fanxing arrived.

"Xiao Wu, find a place to park for dinner." Lu Xiyan got out of the car and ordered.

"Okay, sir, I'll park the car in front. After dinner, you and your wife went to find me." Ma Xiaowu nodded.

"knew."

Lu Xiyan nodded and pushed the door open and walked into the Queen's Restaurant alone.

"Sir, are you alone?" the exquisitely dressed girl waiter stepped forward and lowered her head slightly.

"Oh, no, two of you." Lu Xiyan said.

"Sir, please come here."

Lu Xiyan walked all the way and saw Fang Ye, but there was a young lady sitting opposite him, with her words and demeanor and gentle manners. The two of them whispered in a low voice, and the relationship was very harmonious.

Lu Xiyan walked over and sat down on the chair behind Fang Ye.

"Sorry, Haruko, I'll go to the bathroom." Lu Xiyan sat down and asked for a glass of lemonade. About two minutes later, Fang Ye stood up and greeted the woman sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Fang Ye, please give me a gift."

Japanese? Lu Xiyan frowned, but that was nothing. Fang Ye worked in Iwai Mansion and most of the people he came into contact with were Japanese. It was normal for him to know one or two Japanese girlfriends.

"Miss, I'm sorry to ask, where is the bathroom here?" Lu Xiyan waved and asked.

"Walk straight, turn right, and the innermost is."
