Chapter 63: Duke Zhou Interprets Dreams

  Director Liu finished introducing and left the classroom, leaving Han Qin to start teaching the old men and women. Han Qin swept a glance over the classroom, more than twenty veteran cadres, mostly men, dressed in brand-name clothes, with flushed faces and an air of superiority. Although they looked gentle on the surface, they actually exuded arrogance from within.

  Han Qin was also very clear that the old men and women present represented a privileged class, all of whom were leaders in various departments before retirement, with secretary and director being two of the most ordinary official titles. Their descendants either work in government departments or hold high positions in monopolized industries, living in luxury and nobility!

  This university for retired cadres is nominally open to all retired personnel in Dongfang City, and is not limited to cadres. Retired workers from enterprises can also attend. But where do those retired old workers have the leisure and pleasure? Their children are all busy making a living, and after retirement, the elderly must also make use of their remaining energy, either taking care of their grandchildren or doing household chores, and being able to practice tai chi in the park every morning is already very satisfying!

  This group of old men and women, the sense of superiority that flows from their hearts is irrepressible! Without the skills to make them convinced in their hearts and mouths, don't think about making them recognize it!

  Han Qin raised his voice slightly and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, leaders, hello! Director Liu has just introduced me. My name is Han Qin, a civil servant from the Municipal Government's Old Cadre Bureau. I feel honored to be able to introduce some health knowledge to you leaders. Today is our first meeting, and I didn't prepare anything, so let's just chat casually about health! If anyone has any questions, please ask! I will answer without reservation!"

  As soon as the words fell, the elderly men and women who had been barely holding back their emotions began to erupt! The municipal government's old cadres' office sent such a young whippersnapper to teach us about health preservation - isn't this a joke?!

  There are many old men in this class who have been to the old cadre activity center, and the health experience exchange meeting held by the municipal government's old cadre office is indeed very distinctive. Unlike the health classes in the old cadre university, which are dull and uninteresting! Many of them had never seen so many health experiences and secret recipes before, and some old cadres even copied them down, went back to try them out, and found them effective!

  The old leaders then urged the school leaders to invite the health experts from the municipal government's elderly care department to come over and give them a lecture. These old men were indeed very influential, and the elderly affairs bureau quickly submitted a report to the municipal government, asking Han Qin to come over!

  When they met the health expert, the old cadres all thought they had been cheated! The expert, who couldn't be said to have gray hair and a youthful face, should at least be a middle-aged man! How could this young man understand anything about health... At most, they would drive him away after a while!

  After a burst of noise, an old man cleared his throat a few times. The veteran cadres looked at him with attention, and it turned out to be Old Wei, who was also the leader of their class.

  This old Wei was the director of the personnel bureau before his retirement, and it is said that his ancestors were imperial physicians in the Qing dynasty. Among his brothers, except for him, all of them are doctors! In this group of people, Old Wei's medical knowledge is the most profound. Even professors from Dongda Medical College who have lectured here before show great respect to him. Seeing that Old Wei was about to make a move, the old men all quieted down on their own initiative, waiting to see the joke of this young man!

  As the saying goes, a smile can make you ten years younger, and this is indeed a way of nourishing one's life!

  Director Wei asked casually: "Comrade Xiao Han, which university did you graduate from?" Han Qin smiled and said: "The History Department of Dongda University!"

  The old men immediately got messy again. You come to teach us about health preservation, aren't you a graduate of a well-known domestic medical university? If not, at least it should be our Dongda Medical College! What do you know about medical skills as a history major?!

  Director Wei smiled and pressed his hands down, calming the old men. He said disdainfully, "Since Comrade Xiao Han is not from a medical background, he must have learned from his family. I'll ask him a few simple questions, please enlighten me!"

  Han Qin smiled and said: "I've read a few medical books, old leader, you're welcome!"

  This old Wei really has skills, from the "Emperor's Inner Canon" to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", from Chinese medicine processing to decoction methods, from human body acupoints to acupuncture techniques, he asked more than a dozen questions in a row, all of which were biased, difficult and tricky problems. For these things, let alone a young man, even an old expert who specializes in traditional Chinese medicine would have to frown! Maybe I was a bit too harsh on this kid, but if not, how could I show off my skills?

  It never occurred to him that Han Qin would answer these questions one by one, citing various examples and explaining them in detail. After Han Qin's exposition, the old men also gained a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese medicine!

  A dozen questions later, Han Qin wasn't stumped at all, and instead, this young man had a chance to show off. Old Wei felt that he was being taken care of at this moment!

  Director Wei also didn't have any weighty issues on hand, feeling a bit embarrassed, his face turned bright red, and he said involuntarily: "Teacher Han, you really are erudite!"

  Han Qin smiled and said, "You think you can take advantage of me with this little trick? I'll recite the 'Ben Cao Gang Mu' backwards for you. Believe it or not, if I make a single mistake, that's just because I was careless and didn't see clearly!"

  After this commotion, these old men and women were all impressed by Lao Wei, and they immediately looked at Han Qin in a new light. Indeed, he was not simple. The classroom quickly became much quieter!

  Lao Wei kicked his deskmate Lao Xuan with his foot, who was one of the best players. Lao Xuan had been a bit preoccupied lately and was somewhat absent-minded. With this kick, he came back to himself and understood what his old friend meant: give this young whippersnapper some trouble, don't let him be so arrogant!

  Lao Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Comrade Xiao Han, people say that the day has its thoughts and the night has its ideas. I've also read some medical books, which say that a person's dreams can reflect changes in their physical condition. Last night, I dreamed of birds disappearing from a birdcage - what does this portend?"

  This is a big problem, and it's also a major issue internationally! Old Wei looked at his old partner with great satisfaction, no wonder he was from a banking background, he really knew how to make things difficult for people! The elderly couples started chattering again, did this little Han have some research on this too? One by one, they perked up their ears, and some even adjusted their hearing aids!

  Han Qin smiled slightly, this is what makes me Zhou Gong interpret dreams, then I'll play with you!

  After scanning the old man's brain information library, it was found that his son had just been promoted to vice president of the city's industrial and commercial bank's credit department. Someone came to bribe him, hoping to irregularly approve a loan. The bribery took a detour, handing over 200,000 cash to the old man, hoping that the old man could help facilitate things!

  Lao Xuan received the money but couldn't eat or sleep well, so he handed it over to his son. If his son broke the rules and got a loan for him, one day when the truth came out, they would have to pay the price. Returning the money to its owner was an option, but looking at those crisp red RMB bills, he felt a pang of reluctance!

  "If you think about it, Han Qin smiled and said: "Old leader, this dream of yours suggests that your heart has been conflicting for the past few days. Have you encountered something that you're not sure about? Think carefully about the consequences and make a decision quickly, otherwise, this heart problem will get bigger..."

  At this point, Han Qin felt that he had also made it clear to him! For people like them who have no worries about food and clothing, being dismissed from office for corruption and bribery is really brain-damaged!

  One word awakened the dreamer, and Lao Xuan's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! He muttered to himself: "Right, right, right..."

  This got lively, the old men and women suddenly became excited, vying with each other to discuss with Han Qin the relationship between dreams and daily life, as if it were an academic conference!

  "Teacher Xiao Han, listen to my dream..."

  "Teacher Han..."
