The Young Urban Doctor
Chapter 979 - Chapter 979 Chapter 979 Dispute

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Dispute Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Dispute Luo Ziling did not hesitate to interrupt him and even retorted rudely. Zhang Guodong was instantly furious with embarrassment, “How can you speak like that? With so many leaders present, do you even have the right to speak? Some of you, take him out.”

Hearing Zhang Guodong say this and even ordering Luo Ziling to be expelled, Wu Mingyun couldn’t help but frown.

He and Zhang Guodong did not get along well; in fact, you could even call them enemies. Back when they contended for the deanship of the Medical College, much drama ensued, and Zhang Guodong had deliberately slandered him, claiming he had an inappropriate relationship with a beautiful subordinate.

Even though it was later proven to be a mere rumor and didn’t affect Wu Mingyun’s reputation, their relationship had since plummeted to rock bottom, with both choosing to stay out of each other’s lives.

Now, both serving as vice deans of the affiliate hospital, Wu Mingyun, focusing mainly on the Medical College, did not involve himself much in the affairs of the hospital. Still, the rivalry between the two never ceased.

During the recent discussion about the patient’s condition and treatment options, Wu Mingyun and Zhang Guodong had already had a dispute.

Hearing Zhang Guodong questioning Luo Ziling so impolitely and even asking to have him removed, Wu Mingyun knew that the man was targeting him to some degree.

Therefore, he also retorted unapologetically, “Does Dean Zhang not wish these critical respiratory patients to receive treatment? Both Director Li and I have witnessed the superb medical skills of a renowned expert. You think it unnecessary to invite him for discussion? What will you do if he truly assists us, how will you explain that? If we miss this opportunity, can you bear the responsibility?”

“…” Zhang Guodong was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

As the vice dean in charge of medical affairs at the affiliate hospital, he had just been criticized by Director Li Minglai from the Health and Family Planning Commission. Mayor Yang’s look was none too friendly either, seeming rather displeased with his performance. If he were to argue with Wu Mingyun, the leaders’ impression of him would only worsen. He also feared that if the individual Wu Mingyun had brought in truly possessed exceptional medical skills, he could not afford that responsibility.

Thus, he ultimately chose silence.

However, someone soon stood up to support Zhang Guodong.

Director Li Minglai of the Health and Family Planning Commission, already in quite a foul mood due to Mayor Yang’s direct criticism, and feeling aggrieved, spoke up promptly with furrowed brows after Wu Mingyun countered Zhang Guodong, “Dean Wu, this is a serious matter; we can’t afford to take it lightly. Even if he has cured someone’s illness, it doesn’t necessarily prove his medical skills are remarkable. What if he makes a mistake? Can you assume that responsibility?”

Li Minglai was very unsatisfied with the previous events, as Wu Mingyun had actually called a youngster to help, which he found to be absurd.

With Mayor Yang present today, if any issues arose, as the director responsible for health affairs, he would likely face severe consequences because he was the primary responsible party. He believed Mayor Yang would also not accept Luo Ziling’s help, hence his pointed remarks.

His relationship with Zhang Guodong was good, and it could be said that it was due to his help that Zhang Guodong was able to become vice dean. Therefore, he took a stance supporting Zhang Guodong’s opinion. They had been discussing the patient’s condition and treatment options when Luo Ziling’s abrupt intervention disrupted their agenda. Expressing his displeasure in front of Mayor Yang seemed perfectly justified.

“I can, and I dare to bear that,” responded Wu Mingyun confidently to everyone’s surprise, without hesitation, “Of course, I can’t guarantee that he will be able to completely resolve this trouble, but I believe he will certainly not add to our troubles, and he could very well surprise us.”

“Dean Wu, you must understand that the situation is very critical. Even Mayor Yang has come here personally, hoping we can find a reasonable and effective treatment plan. Respiratory diseases are infectious, and if others get infected, the situation would become even more troublesome. This responsibility is not something you can merely choose to take on.” Wu Mingyun’s bold assertion irritated Li Minglai, who bluntly replied, “My opinion is that the experts present should discuss the treatment and care, and your young friend should leave. We don’t need him.”

Immediately, many people stood up to echo Li Minglai’s words.

At this moment, an impatient Luo Ziling raised his voice in response, “If I can cure their diseases and resolve this trouble, what would you say then? And how should all of you who look down on me apologize?”

Luo Ziling was, of course, very angry, as someone had underestimated his medical skills. He had more confidence in his medical prowess than even in his own appearance. He might not lash out if someone said he wasn’t handsome, but if anyone doubted his medical skills, that would truly anger him.

Let alone the fact that Mayor Yang, Yang Qingyin, and Yang Qingye were there, secretly watching and listening. If he didn’t show his pride at such a moment, it would be utterly shameful.

“Such arrogance,” a rather young-looking, refined middle-aged man stood up, unceremoniously criticizing Luo Ziling, “Don’t think you can swindle around just because you’re carrying some deceptions written by ancients thousands of years ago.”

“Traditional medicine values experience, and he’s so young. I don’t believe his medical skills are that remarkable,” said a head physician in traditional medicine, shaking his head and sighing while speaking.

“All these experts haven’t come up with a good solution, and you, a freshman who just started school, claim you can cure these critically ill patients–utterly fanciful,” another person immediately added.

“Exactly, I don’t understand what Dean Wu is thinking, calling such a young person for help. Is this helping? It’s simply causing trouble!” This was said by the dean of the second affiliate hospital, who was also an expert in respiratory diseases, Wang Dongzi.

“Make him leave!” said a deputy director from the Health and Family Planning Commission.

“Indeed, don’t let him interrupt our discussion,” added a young assistant consulting physician.

He was very angry because his own report to the leaders and his treatment recommendations had been cut short by the sudden arrival of Luo Ziling.

However, Li Minglai, who was moderating the expert discussion, finally sensed that something was amiss.

Because Mayor Yang, the highest-ranking official here, had yet to express his opinion.

Logically, with such a disturbance, Mayor Yang would certainly show some reaction, at least in his expression.

But to his surprise, from the moment Luo Ziling entered, other than looking at Luo Ziling curiously a few times, Mayor Yang showed no other reaction.

Could it be that Mayor Yang wanted to give Luo Ziling a chance?

That was the sudden thought that struck Li Minglai.
