Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Medical God’s Senior Brother?

...

"Divine Doctor Yan, may I ask you..." Zhang Hongde was overcome with excitement, his voice shaking, "Do you happen to know someone named Hua Mingyuan?"

"Of course." Yan Xiaobao replied casually, "Do you know him too?"

"No, no, no... I don’t know him, I’ve just heard of his legend..." Zhang Hongde was now completely certain that the Yan Xiaobao in front of him was undoubtedly the disciple of the legendary "Medical God." "May I boldly ask, Divine Doctor Yan, are you... Hua the Medical God’s disciple?"

"Disciple?" Yan Xiaobao immediately grew displeased, "He doesn’t have the qualifications to be my master! My master is Heavenly Sister!"

"What?" Zhang Hongde could hardly believe his ears.

Someone in this world dares to say that "Medical God" Hua Mingyuan doesn’t have the qualifications to be his master?

"Hua the Medical God... He’s not your master?"

"Obviously not!" Yan Xiaobao rolled his eyes, "That old man Hua Mingyuan’s medical skills aren’t even better than mine, how could he be my master? He’s merely my third junior disciple."

Holy crap!

Zhang Hongde was so shocked his jaw almost hit the floor.

Who is Medical God Hua Mingyuan?

He’s practically a divine being!

The most renowned, most skillful doctors are often called "Divine Doctor," signifying their medical expertise has reached a godlike level.

But throughout history, beyond Hua Mingyuan, no one else has ever been referred to as "Medical God."

Medical God—God of Medicine! The pinnacle of medical excellence, unmatched!

It’s like how skilled shooters might earn the title of sharpshooter, but a title like "Gun God" signifies something far beyond just good shooting skills.

The difference between a "Divine Doctor" and a "Medical God" is akin to the difference between sharpshooter and Gun God.

And yet, Yan Xiaobao claims Hua Mingyuan’s medical skills aren’t better than his own and that he’s unqualified to be his master—he’s merely his junior disciple...

Yan Xiaobao, who looks just like an average young man, claims to be Medical God Hua Mingyuan’s senior—who the hell could believe that...

Zhang Hongde certainly didn’t.

But whether he believed it or not didn’t really matter. Even if Yan Xiaobao was bluffing, there was no doubt he had deep ties with Medical God Hua Mingyuan. Plus, with his ability to cure sudden cerebral hemorrhage with just a flick of his finger, his medical prowess was undoubtedly extraordinary.

So, regardless of the truth, getting Yan Xiaobao into his special expert team would be tantamount to bringing half of the Medical God aboard! With this move, across the entire nation, or even the world, what hospital or medical university could possibly rival the strength of Binhai Medical University?

To achieve this grand, legendary goal, Zhang Hongde was prepared to go all out.

No risk, no reward. Even if it meant sacrificing half of his savings, Zhang Hongde was ready to do whatever it took!

"By the way, Divine Doctor Yan, thank you for saving my life that time on the flight. According to your rules: treating an illness costs a hundred, saving a life means splitting it fifty-fifty. I should give half of my life’s savings to you. I’m not a super wealthy man, but I’ve managed to save up a few million over the years. When would it be convenient for us to head to the bank to sort out the transfer?"

Zheng Xiaoyu and Chen Long, standing to the side, were utterly dumbfounded.

The prestigious dean of Fu’er Hospital not only personally came to recruit Yan Xiaobao, but is now practically begging to give away half of his fortune... What kind of bizarre situation is this...

Xia Rou felt that saving lives was a doctor’s duty, a calling. Taking half of someone’s fortune seemed excessively greedy, so she tugged at Yan Xiaobao’s sleeve.

Upon hearing that Zhang Hongde’s total assets amounted to only a few million, Yan Xiaobao lost interest and waved his hand dismissingly, "Forget it. I wasn’t planning to save you that time anyway—it was just a little favor for my wife Rourou. Keep your little bit of money for spending on yourself."

Poser. Keep on posing! Inside, Zheng Xiaoyu scoffed at him. A dude who freeloads off Xia Rou, borrows money from Chen Long to take a taxi, now calls a few million ’just a little spending money’...

Posers are everywhere, but this guy takes it to a whole new level.

"Ah, this... That’s too generous of you..."

Though Zhang Hongde had already steeled himself to "donate" half his fortune, it would be a lie to say he didn’t feel any heartache. Now that Yan Xiaobao had graciously "waived" the debt, Zhang Hongde was left in a mix of relief and awkwardness.

"Dean Zhang, please don’t be so ceremonious." Xia Rou said seriously, "Doctors are meant to save lives—how could anyone exploit their medical skills to extort others?"

Her words not only reassured Zhang Hongde, letting him keep his fortune intact, but also sparked a flash of insight in his mind.

Yan Xiaobao was eccentric and couldn’t be reasoned with conventionally. Recruiting him into the expert team might be an uphill battle. But judging by his attitude toward Xia Rou, it was clear Xia Rou held significant importance in his eyes.

What’s more, Xia Rou herself was also renowned for her Miracle Needle acupuncture, an exceptional practitioner in her own right. If he managed to recruit her into the special expert team, wouldn’t that indirectly bring Yan Xiaobao along too?

With that thought, Zhang Hongde immediately turned his attention to Xia Rou. First, he lavished high praise on her medical expertise and ethics before formally inviting her to join the expert team.

"Who, me?" Xia Rou said hesitantly, "I only have a self-taught undergraduate degree. Plus, I’ve only had my medical license for two or three years—how could I qualify as an expert..."

"Why wouldn’t you?" Zhang Hongde amped up his pitch, "For a doctor, the most important qualities are medical ethics and compassion. In that regard, Doctor Xia, you’re absolutely an exemplary role model for a new generation of practitioners. Moreover, I’ve done my homework—your Miracle Needle technique is genuinely outstanding. In this era, when traditional Chinese medicine is gradually declining, we need talented young professionals like you to carry the torch and reestablish its prominence. No need for modesty—if I say you’re qualified, you absolutely are."

Truth be told, faced with Zhang Hongde’s sincere and enthusiastic invitation, Xia Rou couldn’t deny feeling tempted.

Joining the expert team with an annual salary of a million—it was an incredible opportunity that offered both fame and fortune. In all of Binhai City, or even Jiangnan Province, countless doctors would break their backs in hopes of joining the expert team.

Plus, with a million annually, she could pay off the 90,000 she owed Yan Xiaobao in just a month or two.

"I..." Xia Rou lowered her head and hesitated, "Joining the expert team sounds amazing, but... my mentor entrusted Dexi Hall to me before retiring—I can’t just..."

"That’s not an issue at all."

Zhang Hongde burst into laughter and waved dismissively, "You should know the special expert team isn’t full-time—it doesn’t require regular attendance. Many experts work at their own hospitals, and many professors teach or conduct research at universities. The expert team steps in only for rare, complicated cases that regular hospitals can’t resolve. Once you join us, you can still work at Dexi Hall like usual."
