Chapter 462: You’re the Associate Dean
Zhao Xuefeng wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood up. He walked to the window, opened it, and said, "Try not to keep the air conditioner too low. Breathing more fresh air is good for your condition."
Lin Tian nodded with a smile, "I understand, teacher."
"Alright, then I’ll head back for now. It seems today’s treatment was effective, so I won’t prescribe any medicine for you. Western medicine has its advantages; just use that. I’ll come again tomorrow for acupuncture."
After finishing, Zhao Xuefeng headed out the door.
When Zhao Xuefeng opened the door, he saw a group of people standing neatly in front of it.
"Mr. Zhao, how is Lin Tian?" Liou Qingcheng stretched her neck anxiously, looking into the room.
"He’s recovering well; you can go in." With that, Zhao Xuefeng stepped aside, allowing Liou Qingcheng, Meng Nan, and others to enter.
Sun Chuanrong stood there stunned for a while before coming to his senses. Looking at Zhao Xuefeng, he asked in a trembling voice, "Are you Zhao Xuefeng, Mr. Zhao? I didn’t expect to meet you here."
Zhao Xuefeng also observed him, asking in confusion, "Are you Sun Chuanrong?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I didn’t expect you to recognize me." Sun Chuanrong bent slightly, respectfully introducing himself.
Zhao Xuefeng finally smiled and said, "I’ve read the papers you wrote for the medical forums. They’re very targeted and practical. The son of Old Sun is indeed impressive. Is your father well?"
Sun Chuanrong laughed, "Mr. Zhao, you’re too kind. Thanks to you, he’s doing well. Mr. Zhao, could we go inside to chat? I’d like to meet the young man."
Zhao Xuefeng nodded and walked back into the ward.
Sun Chuanrong hurriedly followed. When Zhao Xuefeng saw Wu Neng behind him, he snorted coldly.
Sun Chuanrong clearly saw this, and turning his head to Wu Neng, he sighed in frustration, "You’ve long needed to curb your arrogance."
After saying this, Sun Chuanrong also snorted coldly and looked away from him.
Wu Neng followed behind, drenched in cold sweat and terrified. Even the director treated this old man with such respect; just how powerful could he be?
Wu Neng could foresee his own fate. Even if he wasn’t dismissed from the Central Hospital, he should leave, as there was no place for him here anymore.
Being fired would be the least of his worries. With Sun Chuanrong’s influence in the medical field, no hospital would dare to employ him.
Unfortunately, his more than twenty-year career as a doctor was likely coming to an end.
But he couldn’t just leave, as he didn’t know what that little bastard had done to him that suddenly made him unable to speak. He had to brazenly enter the ward to have the Mute Acupoint unlocked.
At this moment, Liou Qingcheng was sitting by Lin Tian’s bed, whispering something.
Liou Qingcheng didn’t ask anymore about how Lin Tian got injured. Since Lin Tian didn’t want to discuss it, she wouldn’t pry, knowing that wouldn’t please him.
Seeing Zhao Xuefeng return, Lin Tian leaned back against the headboard. Now that his condition had improved significantly, he was able to sit up.
Zhao Xuefeng walked to the bedside and said to Lin Tian, Liou Qingcheng, and the others, "This is Mr. Sun, the director of Kanyue City Central Hospital. He may look young, but he has a notable reputation in the medical field. If you have the opportunity, learn from him."
Sun Chuanrong bent slightly, respectfully saying, "Mr. Zhao, you’re making fun of me. In front of you, my little achievements are hardly worth mentioning."
After finishing, Sun Chuanrong smiled kindly at Lin Tian and the others, "You may not know, but Mr. Zhao is a true titan in the medical field. Witnessing his acupuncture just now was my privilege. Speaking of learning, there’s much I need to consult him about."
Zhao Xuefeng waved his hand, laughing, "Alright, enough flattery. Your father and I are equals in age, so you should call me Uncle Zhao. No, call me Mr. Zhao; I refuse to be acknowledged as younger than your father."
Sun Chuanrong agreed with a nod.
Behind him, Wu Neng’s legs were trembling with fear.
A sudden realization hit Wu Neng about what Sun Chuanrong had just said. This old man was Zhao Xuefeng?
Zhao Xuefeng’s fame in the medical field was immense, especially in the realm of ancient medicine, where his words carried the weight of authority.
Many dignitaries and nobles wished to have Zhao Xuefeng treat them, yet they couldn’t find a way.
This old man, despite his fame, was particularly low-key, hence not active within the medical circle.
That’s why Wu Neng didn’t recognize him immediately.
Wu Neng still harbored resentment. Why didn’t this old man reveal his identity earlier?!
If he had said something sooner, I wouldn’t have argued with him at all.
Lin Tian and others exchanged pleasantries with Sun Chuanrong and soon became somewhat acquainted, leaving a good impression on each other.
Suddenly, Sun Chuanrong asked, "Brother Lin Tian, do you want to become the deputy director? If possible, I invite you to intern at our Kanyue City Central Hospital. Once the internship is over, I can appoint you as the deputy director of the Ancient Hospital. What do you think?"
Although Sun Chuanrong spoke lightly, his words left everyone shocked.
Even Zhao Xuefeng showed a look of disbelief, but after a moment’s thought, he nodded slightly. He realized Sun Chuanrong’s vision was impressive. Lin Tian becoming the deputy director of the Ancient Hospital was only natural.
Kanyue City Central Hospital, just from its name, is known to be located in the prime area of Kanyue City, ranking among the top three hospitals nationwide.
Both in ancient and Western medicine, medical equipment or healthcare teams, it is the best on the Celestial Dragon Continent.
Many aspire to intern here, yet even securing an interview is difficult, let alone becoming deputy director of the Ancient Medicine Department. This position requires fierce competition, even for scholars with decades of experience in ancient medicine.
In everyone’s eyes, the role of deputy director isn’t merely a position. It symbolizes authority, where anyone occupying it gains fame and status in the medical community.
Even as the director, Sun Chuanrong could easily make promises, but fulfilling them is challenging because Lin Tian is too young, only a student.
One could imagine the pressure Sun Chuanrong would face from other shareholders.
Nevertheless, he made the promise.
Sun Chuanrong is never one to break his word; he’s very confident in this promise.
From what he witnessed outside the ward, Sun Chuanrong was deeply astonished.
Lin Tian managed to accurately target Wu Neng’s Mute Acupoint with flying needles! It’s known that the Mute Acupoint isn’t a conventional one; it only appears in novels and movies as an extraordinary external acupoint.
Moreover, he guided Zhao Xuefeng’s acupuncture?
Who else in the Celestial Dragon Continent can achieve both?
No one!
Thus, Sun Chuanrong is confident in elevating Lin Tian to this position.
What does it matter if shareholders have doubts? In the face of absolute strength, everything else is just talk.
