The Young Urban Doctor
Chapter 1079 - Chapter 1079 Chapter 1079 With Utmost Caution

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: With Utmost Caution Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: With Utmost Caution The tea party was held in that old house that captivated the attention of the world.

Luo Ziling had never before set foot within this building complex that was difficult for ordinary people to access.

In contrast to the nearby ancient architecture that teemed with tourists, this place was much quieter, and the surroundings were even better.

But Luo Ziling didn’t have any curiosity to explore and see what it was all about; his heart was quite tense, so tense that he dared not look around randomly.

As the car passed through the gate and received a solemn salute from the guards, Luo Ziling’s heart began to race.

The car stopped, he pushed open the door and got out, and when he saw those quaint buildings, his nervousness reached an extreme.

But strangely, after getting out of the car and helping Ling Jinhua out, his nervousness suddenly disappeared.

Today he was not alone in venturing into this place; his role today was that of an attendant to Ling Jinhua, akin to a health doctor.

He didn’t need to interact with other big shots, much less confront anyone. If there was any issue, Ling Jinhua would take the lead, and with Ling Mingrui also present, even if someone targeted him, they certainly wouldn’t allow him to be troubled or bullied. Therefore, there was no need for him to be nervous.

Well, one could only say that Ziling had a rich imagination and was quite presumptuous; in an instant, he thought of so much.

Upon seeing Ling Jinhua get out of the car, several people waiting at the side hurried over to greet him, reverently addressing the old chief, and then came over to assist.

Ling Jinhua waved his hands and said with a cheerful laugh, “No bother, I’m not so old that I can’t walk on my own.”

Saying this, he shook off everyone’s assistance, straightened his clothes, and approached the steps.

Because he had received instructions from Huang Chen and Ling Ruonan before coming out, to always stay close to Ling Jinhua, Luo Ziling quickly followed when Ling Jinhua took a step forward, preparing to ascend the steps, subtly protecting Ling Jinhua.

Huang Chen also followed alongside, but when he saw other people coming over to greet, he tactfully stepped back two paces.

He was very familiar with this kind of scene; when those bigwigs came over to greet, people with relatively lower status like them should not get involved.

But Luo Ziling lacked such awareness and continued to follow by Ling Jinhua’s side, causing Huang Chen to smile wryly.

But he couldn’t call out to Luo Ziling; he could only let him continue to accompany Ling Jinhua.

As Luo Ziling followed Ling Jinhua up the steps and inside, he saw a group of figures he often saw on television.

No matter how bold he was, he dared not act presumptuously and could only follow silently behind Ling Jinhua.

At that moment, a person who appeared most frequently on television approached the entrance, followed by a group of people.

Luo Ziling immediately recognized him; this guy was Lin Zongping, who represented the image of Huaxia.

Following behind Lin Zongping was another person representing the image of Huaxia, Wang Zhengqiang.

“Sir Ling has arrived,” Lin Zongping approached briskly, slightly lowering his head to extend his hand to Ling Jinhua, “It seems that Sir Ling has fully recovered. This is a joyous and fortunate event, and a blessing for the country.”

Lin Zongping’s Lin Family also holds considerable influence, as does Wang Zhengqiang’s Wang Family, yet neither counts among the top-tier magnates.

Over the years, the most influential figures have not been from the top-tier wealthy families. The reasons behind this were worth reflecting on.

It could be said that this was the result of compromises among the major families, as none of them agreed to have someone from another family occupy those two positions.

With the strong support of Ling Jinhua, Ling Mingrui could only rank behind those two, with Fang Xiang, Yang Yuanshan, and Chen Ruchang following. Thus, a balance was finally struck and accepted by all families.

Lin Zongping and Wang Zhengqiang had been in their positions for two years, yet they still hadn’t fully grasped things commensurate with their ranks.

However, in the public eye, they remained among the most influential.

Ling Jinhua smiled, shook their hands, and announced that he had completely recovered and would definitely be more active in the future.

At that moment, the very solemn and composed Fang Xiang appropriately interjected, “Sir Ling, congratulations on your recovery. Those doctors who treated you should really be commended.”

Fang Xiang’s comment was somewhat out of place, leaving the others slightly surprised.

But Ling Jinhua and Ling Mingrui, standing by his side, showed no particular reaction, and Ling Jinhua chuckled, then pointed at Luo Ziling by his side, “Fortunately, I met this young man. His exceptional medical treatment restored my health.”

Luo Ziling suddenly became the focus of attention, with dozens of pairs of eyes landing on him.

The gaze holds power and can exert enormous pressure; the force of those dozens of pairs of eyes was truly immense.

The pressure from dozens of ordinary people’s stares is already great, let alone from those of special status.

Any one of these individuals, when looking straight at you, could exert tremendous pressure, let alone dozens of them staring at once.

Luo Ziling suddenly found it difficult to breathe and his heart rate accelerated, but he did not panic. After taking a couple of deep breaths, he cracked a slight smile, nodding slightly at the people around him as a gesture of acknowledgment.

“The son of my daughter, Ruonan, Luo Ziling, specializes in traditional medicine,” Ling Mingrui timely introduced Luo Ziling, “His scholarly achievements are profound; he has cured many complex and diverse diseases, to much astonishment.”

Luo Ziling didn’t expect Ling Mingrui to introduce him publicly, especially as his grandson, which caught him off guard.

He clearly saw the looks from Chen Ruchang and Yang Yuanshan become complex, even somewhat unfriendly.

The other big shots showed no particular expressions.

After Ling Mingrui introduced Luo Ziling, Wang Zhengqiang immediately laughed and said, “I just saw a program on Yanjing TV Station last night about the traditional medicine conference. The young scholar who stunned everyone and gained the respect of the elders at the conference, isn’t that the gentleman standing before us, Mingrui’s grandson?”

Luo Ziling knew that after Ling Mingrui’s introduction, he should modestly say a few words.

But he didn’t know what to say at once, and with Wang Zhengqiang interjecting, he could only continue listening.

With Wang Zhengqiang asking, Luo Ziling had to reply somewhat awkwardly, “I am honored and perhaps a source of amusement for my seniors… I have studied traditional medicine under my grandfather for a few years and have made some progress. At the recent conference, I simply couldn’t stand the humiliation and thus challenged several medical elders. Ultimately, thanks to my youth and stamina, I prevailed in acupuncture skill. In terms of overall medical expertise, I still fall short and have much to learn from them.”

“Great aspirations are not confined to those of age, heroism often emerges in youth,” Wang Zhengqiang said heartily, “Daring to publicly challenge many medical elders and having cured Sir Ling’s illness, and I heard you also resolved the recent respiratory disease outbreak. At such a young age, you’ve accomplished quite a bit!”

Wang Zhengqiang’s words made many eyes take on a peculiar expression, also causing Luo Ziling great astonishment.
