Chapter 6: Country Bumpkin, Take a Look

  "Cloud Elder!" The people in the waiting room were taken aback when they saw the old man walk in, then they respectfully greeted him.

  "Huh! It's actually him." Wang Xu was also stunned for a moment, muttering to himself that the old man who came in was none other than the one who had interfered with his business last night and forced him to expose those two swindlers.

  "This is Yun Lao, also known as Yun Chongzhi. He's a renowned expert in the field of medicine from Zhongzhou Province and one of the founders of the First Affiliated Hospital." Guo Haiyun hastily explained in a low voice, noticing Wang Xu's confusion.

  "Hmph! I didn't expect this old man to have such a big background." Wang Xu heard this and couldn't help but smack his lips.

  "Director Yun, why have you come so suddenly?" Chen Shaoyun smiled awkwardly and asked with a flushed face. Although he was the deputy director of the affiliated hospital, he didn't dare to be disrespectful in front of Director Yun. Director Yun had a great reputation in Jiangzhou Province, with many students all over the place. Even though he was retired at home, his influence on the hospital was by no means small.

  However, Yun Lao has been retired for many years and rarely comes to the hospital unless there is a difficult case that the hospital cannot handle.

  Chen Shaoyun was somewhat dazed, and subconsciously glanced at Wang Xu not far away: "Could it be that Yun Lao also knows this kid, why did he come out to support the other side so clearly?"

  "I heard that a interesting kid came to the hospital, I'll go take a look." Yun Chong smiled faintly and nodded at Wang Xu: "Young man, we meet again."

  "Good old Yun." Wang Xu smiled wryly and nodded towards the other party, his emotions towards this Old Yun were indeed somewhat complicated.

  "Ah!" Hearing Wang Xu and Yun Chong's greetings, Chen Shaoyun almost choked on his breath, weakly groaning in his heart: "Yun Lao actually really knows this little brat."

  With Yun Chong's intervention, Chen Shaoyun and others naturally didn't dare to say anything. After a while, the nurse brought in the simmered medicine again, and Wang Xu carefully administered it to the patient.

  This time everyone stayed in the emergency room waiting, no one left, and on the spot at any moment paying attention to the patient's condition. In the first two times of taking medicine, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, this time can't be careless at all.

  Guo Haiyun and Zhang Yiming's faces were anxious, their hearts uneasy, while Wang Xu and Yun Chong seemed calm and composed, as if they had everything under control.

  At 5:30 in the afternoon, two hours after the patient took the medicine for the third time, the patient's swollen abdomen suddenly showed significant improvement and began to recover slowly.

  "It's effective!" Zhang Yiming exclaimed with joy, and the others rushed forward to check, marveling in amazement. Chen Shaoyun couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  Wang Xu walked forward again to take the patient's pulse and examined him for a while before smiling and saying, "He's starting to recover. Let him rest tonight and take two more doses tomorrow, and he'll be almost fully recovered."

  This time, no one dared to question Wang Xu's words again. Zhang Yi Ming couldn't help but laugh and say: "This treatment was really a rollercoaster ride. If I were the one treating him, he probably wouldn't have made it."

  "Yes, after taking the medicine twice, the patient's condition worsened, it's really disheartening." Guo Haiyun also sighed.

  "Hmph, you're still practicing traditional Chinese medicine after all these years." Yun Chongzi snorted and said: "Traditional Chinese medicine requires differential diagnosis and treatment. When treating bloating diseases, one must first distinguish between virtual and real, viscera and bowels. Once the diagnosis is clear, one must be bold and decisive in using medication, how can you be misled by appearances?"

  "What Mr. Yun said is absolutely right, it's our fault." Guo Haiyun and Zhang Yiming both nodded sincerely after hearing Yun Chongzhi's reprimand.

  After scolding Zhang Yiming and the others, Yun Chong finally looked at Wang Xu and said: "Hehe, old man, I really didn't misjudge you. This time, you've surprised me quite a bit. For such an illness, ordinary doctors would often be misled by appearances and fail to persist until the end. It's rare for you to stick to the prescription and make progress. Not bad, not bad."

  "Cloud Old, you've saved me again this time." Wang Xu said with a faint smile. His words were ambiguous, but everyone present knew what he meant. If Cloud Chong hadn't arrived suddenly, the others probably wouldn't have let Wang Xu insist on using medicine.

  This time, the disease is indeed strange. Although it's a deficiency syndrome, it's also a distension syndrome. As the saying goes, "Supplement what is deficient and drain what is excessive." Wang Xu used warming and supplementing medicine to treat the deficiency distension syndrome. At first, the patient would naturally experience increased bloating due to the medicinal supplementation, which is just a superficial phenomenon. Once the medicinal effect was fully absorbed by the patient, the root of the deficiency distension syndrome would be resolved, and the bloating would naturally disappear.

  It's easy to say, but hard to do. The doctor himself must be confident and not be misled by appearances, otherwise he can't persist until the medicine really takes effect and change the medicine halfway, which would put the patient in real danger.

  After chatting and laughing with Wang Xu, Yun Chong also carefully explained the truth to Guo Haiyun and Zhang Yiming. After listening, they both sighed with emotion, and their eyes towards Wang Xu changed once again.

  At first, Guo Haiyun let Wang Xu come to Yun City because of Wang Heyan's face and planned to help Wang Xu a little. Now, however, Guo Haiyun felt somewhat fortunate that he could invite such a skilled medical junior like Wang Xu to take his place, which was absolutely a matter of great pride.

  A group of people waited again in the emergency room for half an hour, until the patient was truly stable. Zhang Yiming then arranged for a nurse to send the patient back to the ward, while he and Guo Haiyun took Wang Xu out to eat.

  As the patient was sent back to the ward, news of Wang Xu's passing the assessment spread instantly. For a time, many doctors who had been harboring illusions once again engaged in lively discussions, some finding it hard to believe, others thinking that Wang Xu had just been lucky, and even more believing that Guo Haiyun had cheated on his behalf. In short, all sorts of rumors spread far and wide.

  No matter what the hospital's gossip is, Wang Xu has already passed the assessment and it's a done deal. Even if Chen Shaoyun is not convinced in his heart, he can't help but admit it with a nose pinch, Wang Xu's formal establishment is unstoppable.

  The director of the First Affiliated Hospital, Tian Minghui, also received the news that night and was surprised to hear that Yun Chong had gone to the scene. He suddenly became curious about Wang Xu, a young newcomer.

  Let's not mention the reaction from the hospital side for now. To continue, Wang Xu followed Zhang Yi Ming and two others to go out for dinner and returned to the dormitory at 9 pm. He casually took a shower, lay on his bed reading books for a while, and then fell asleep on his bed.

  The next day, Guo Haiyun took Wang Xu to various places to complete the formalities. Wang Xu had been studying traditional Chinese medicine with his grandfather Wang Hegen since he was a child and had rich clinical experience. He was also an undergraduate student at Kyoto University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Under Wang Hegen's guarantee, he had obtained his medical license in his hometown, and all the necessary documents were complete. The formalities for his hospital appointment were quickly completed.

  A week later, Guo Haiyun officially retired, and Wang Xu took over the formal post vacated by Guo Haiyun, becoming a formal doctor at Yuncheng First Affiliated Hospital to start work.

  ——————－－

  In the hospital office building, in Chen Shaoyun's office, a 27- or 28-year-old young man was sitting opposite Chen Shaoyun, who was none other than Chen Shaoyun's nephew Chen Fenggang. At this time, Chen Fenggang was looking at Chen Shaoyun with a face full of unwillingness.

  "Great Uncle, didn't you guarantee that the official position vacated by Guo Haiyun was mine? Now that country bumpkin has already started working, do I have to wait a few more years?"

  Listening to his nephew's questioning, Chen Shaoyun suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face. His nephew, Chen Feng, was brought into the First Affiliated Hospital by himself and had promised him a formal position three years ago. Now that an opportunity finally arose, it became someone else's...

  "Don't worry, Uncle will give you a formal position sooner or later." Chen Shaoyun comforted.

  "When will that be? As far as I know, the hospital won't have any more retired doctors for a while. The oldest one, Zhang Yiming, is only sixty years old, at least five more years, do you want me to wait another five years?" Chen Feng said gloomily.

  "Hmm! Isn't there a post assessment?" Chen Shaoyun wanted to say so, but he also knew his nephew's ability, and this post assessment was absolutely not worth thinking about.

  The so-called post assessment is another way for the First Affiliated Hospital to obtain a formal establishment, once a year. All temporary doctors with more than two years of clinical experience in the hospital can participate. The top three in the assessment can get a formal establishment. This is also the hospital's intention to give some late-coming doctors who are good at medical skills a chance, otherwise, everyone simply waits for old doctors to retire and transfer jobs, hoping that it is too small, and inevitably let some doctors with good medical skills flow out.

  Chen Feng's promotion is hopeless, and as for waiting for the next person to retire, it's unknown when that will be. It seems like we'll have to rely on the new employee Wang Xu now.

  Chen Shaoyun furrowed his brow in contemplation. This Wang Xu had obtained an official position this time, but it also made many people dissatisfied. And this guy was new and inexperienced, if he could find a way to trip him up, let Wang Xu cause a medical accident, then he could make things difficult for him and get rid of him from the hospital...

  Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyun beckoned Chen Fenggang over and whispered something in his ear.

  "Uncle, will this work? That country bumpkin is acquainted with Yun Lao." Chen Feng asked doubtfully.

  "As far as I know, his relationship with Yun Lao is just ordinary. Although Yun Lao has great prestige, he can't directly interfere with internal hospital matters either. Don't worry." Chen Shaoyun said with a confident smile.

  "Hehe, okay, I'll go think of a way right now, and definitely drive that country bumpkin out." Chen Feng said with a smile, looking very excited.

  "Remember, try not to get involved yourself, and even if you are, be careful." Chen Shaoyun reminded.

  "I understand, Uncle." Chen Feng nodded and left Chen Shaoyun's office. After walking out of the office, he snorted with a smile, thinking to himself: "Country bumpkin, I'll let you take my formal position for now, just wait and see!"
