Urban Super Medical Saint

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll have my dad help you out more," Chang Yufeng said reassuringly, though there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

"Thanks," Xie Jinmo nodded and replied.

"This whole mess boils down to Ge Dongxu's issue! Two deputy chief physicians got played by an intern—this can't just be let go, no matter what!" Chang Yufeng glanced at Xie Jinmo, his face darkened as he spoke.

"Just let it go; didn't you see Professor Tang got angry? What more can you do to him?" It was irritating to Xie Jinmo that a deputy chief physician couldn't discipline an intern, and that it even drew Professor Tang's ire. Still, he was ultimately worried that continuing to target Ge Dongxu might provoke even greater dissatisfaction from Professor Tang.

"One thing at a time. He managed to get the jump on us, and Professor Tang believed him. Do you mean to say it will stay this way? Are we, two deputy chief physicians, really unable to handle one intern?" Chang Yufeng said with a grim face.

"We'll see," Xie Jinmo murmured after a moment, speaking ambiguously, clearly unable to suppress his frustration.

"Then just wait and see, Director Xie. I refuse to believe we can't deal with that kid," Chang Yufeng said with a cold smile upon hearing this.

He knew Xie Jinmo's thoughts; Xie definitely wouldn't go after Ge Dongxu openly anymore, but if an opportunity arose, he'd certainly make the most of it to kick him while he was down.

"Hmm." Xie Jinmo nodded and went back to his own clinic.

...

"I say, Ge Dongxu, how did you manage to offend Director Chang? He's quite narrow-minded, and his dad is the vice president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. You better hurry and apologize. And Director Xie too, his PhD supervisor was Director Tang, a significant figure in the Department of Internal Medicine," Song Yongnan said to Ge Dongxu in the decoction room.

"Heh, it wasn't really offending him, just a minor issue," Ge Dongxu replied nonchalantly.

"Really? That's a minor issue? It seemed like Director Chang was about to beat you just now!" Song Yongnan said.

"Heh," Ge Dongxu laughed indifferently.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's unconcerned demeanor, Song Yongnan could only give a wry smile and shake his head, "It's good your advisor is Dr. He. Dr. He is quite upright and straightforward. When he evaluates you, he definitely won't be influenced by Director Chang. If it were another teacher, they might deliberately give you a poor evaluation just to appease Director Chang. But Dr. He won't make things difficult for you on purpose. However, it's tough to say the same about the hospital, since Director Chang's father is the vice president, and your internship report still needs the hospital's approval."

"Yes, Dr. He is really nice. Oh, by the way, I'm new here, and I don't know much about the physicians in our Department of Internal Medicine. Tell me about them, so I don't end up offending someone again," Ge Dongxu said, his interest piqued.

Tang Yiyuan is a leader, and much of what he sees and hears is intentionally shown or told to him by the physicians in the department. It's often difficult to get the real story. However, these students, when faced with department physicians who have fewer reservations around them, reveal their true natures, often resulting in the students knowing the actual situation. Besides, students also discuss and exchange information about the physicians they are familiar with amongst themselves without much scheming or concealment.

"Sure, there's nothing else going on anyway." Song Yongnan looked around, saw that everyone in the decoction room was busy with their tasks, and then lowered his voice to start telling Ge Dongxu about some of the physicians in the department.

Because brewing just the Fuzi alone required more than two hours, Song Yongnan took the opportunity to discuss the key figures in the department of internal medicine.

For instance, there was a director, Lin, who was rather lecherous. In public, he carried himself with an air of morality, like an upright traditional Chinese medicine doctor, but privately, he harassed female students and interns incessantly. There was also a vice-director with the last name Jia who was very greedy; he wouldn't let students graduate smoothly unless they brought him gifts.

Of course, most of the doctors had good moral conduct, especially Tang Yiyuan. Song Yongnan's face involuntarily showed admiration whenever he mentioned him.

After hearing this talk, Ge Dongxu couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that he had first entered the hospital as an intern to covertly investigate; otherwise, if he had actually taught his medical skills to the likes of the lecherous doctors Song Yongnan spoke of, those who intentionally obstructed students, and vindictive doctors like Chang Yufeng, it wouldn't exactly have been aiding tyranny. Although medical skills were still meant to save lives, it definitely would have been an instance of poor judgment in choosing disciples, inadvertently rewarding those with bad conduct.

That afternoon, Ge Dongxu and Song Yongnan chatted while they brewed the medicine. By the time they were handing over the finished product to the patients, it was almost time to finish work.

The two returned to the outpatient room, and He Ruiduan, seeing that it was about time to finish work, gave a few brief instructions and let them go (tag) their separate ways.

...

On Tuesday, there were classes both in the morning and afternoon. The afternoon class was Wu Yili's inorganic chemistry course.

Today, Wu Yili was dressed in a white blouse and black pencil pants, looking particularly sleek and competent.

As they had a lengthy conversation the previous week, Wu Yili appeared much more natural today.

Even though when she turned to write on the board, she faintly felt as though a pair of eyes could see through the black pencil pants encasing her shapely posterior, the discomfort was far less than last time.

After the class, Wu Yili did not ask Ge Dongxu to go for a walk, but she still flashed him a smiling nod, like friends acknowledging each other before she left.

This scene made the male students in the class enviously bitter, especially Sun Wenjun who became even more convinced that Ge Dongxu had stolen his limelight and intentionally flaunted this in front of him, his gaze often carrying a hint of resentment.

After the inorganic chemistry class, Ge Dongxu went straight to the library, while most of the other students either went to play basketball, strolled around, returned to their dorms to read novels, gathered to play cards, or went to internet cafes near the school to play games.

After three years of strict supervision by teachers and parents in high school and the intense pressure of studies, now in college, suddenly without such direct control, everything mainly relied on self-discipline. Many students initially struggled to adapt to this change, feeling like birds suddenly freed from a cage, with very few managing to study conscientiously like Ge Dongxu.

While Ge Dongxu was in the library looking for books, suddenly a familiar fragrance wafted by. Turning his head, he saw Wu Yili looking at him with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration and a faint, hard-to-detect tenderness.

"You worked so hard for those three years in high school, why not relax a bit now that you're in college?" Wu Yili walked up to Ge Dongxu, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and whispered.
