Chapter 599: Chapter 603: Overthinking_1

In front of the university hospital at Haixing University.

"Yao Peng, I heard you went abroad after graduating from Huaxia Medical University. How come you’re back?" A young man in a suit laughing lightly, sporting Grandpa Mao’s hairstyle.

He seems to be about 25 years old, his looks reminiscent of high-achieving elites.

"I went abroad to deep dive into medical skills. Now, I’ve returned to serve my motherland," another young man wearing a suit and tie, replies with a slight smirk.

He paused before adding, "Tian Ji, I heard you’ve been doing well after graduation. You were the first in our class to be hired by a top-tier hospital. Why would you abandon that job to come here and apply for the position of an intern school doctor?"

Tian Ji slightly smirked, "You, an overseas returnee, didn’t you rush back to apply too?"

Yao Peng chuckled as well, "It seems we’re on the same page. After Haixing’s reformation, it’s become a central government-affiliated key institute. But that’s not why I’m here. The key point is, while the position of an intern school doctor here at Haixing University may seem insignificant, it allows us direct contact with students; And, one-fifth of these students are genetically modified. They are the targets pursued by various wealthy conglomerates. If we could latch onto a high branch, we’d soon be on the fast track to success."

"Great minds think alike indeed." Tian Ji chuckled, hands in his pockets. Looking at the crowd of applicants gathered at the entrance of the school hospital, he smiled and commented, "However, it seems like most of these folks are here purely for a stable job."

Yao Peng laughed, "A bunch of frogs in a well, they pose no threat to us. Except for Chen Mei."

Tian Ji looked surprised, "Chen Mei, she’s here too?"

Just then, the sound of high heels echoed as a tall, neat-looking woman with her hair tied up walked over.

"Hey, old classmates, it’s been a while." The woman chuckled.

"Chen Mei, you look just as stunning and confident as ever. Your demeanor suggests that the position of the school doctor has already been secured for you." Tian Ji made a veiled accusation with a sly grin.

"Tian Ji, eat all you want, but don’t just say anything. The reason no girls wanted to date you in college was because of your endlessly tactless chatter. You still haven’t improved after all these years." Chen Mei retorted without any hesitation.

"Alright, alright, let’s not bicker. We’re all classmates here, and we are meeting after a long time. Let’s not ruin the atmosphere. There’s only one spot, but we should save our final clash for the end," Yao Peng quickly tried to mediate.

Chen Mei smirked arrogantly, "I had someone do a little background check on the applicants. No false modesty intended, but aside from us three, the rest are beneath notice. Oh, there’s one interesting candidate on the list."

"Who? Someone we know?" Yao Peng curiously asked.

Chen Mei smirked and slowly replied, "The once-pretender to the Yang family’s fortune, Yang Gang."

"He applied too?"

Chen Mei nodded, "I had someone double-check. It’s definitely him."

Yao Peng chuckled, "Poor fellow. Just a few days ago, he was a pampered rich young man, and now he’s been reduced to looking for work everywhere."

"I heard Haixing University has already cancelled his enrolment. He can’t be a student here anymore. If he were, as an impoverished student, he would receive full governmental financial aid. It wouldn’t have come to this — him having no fixed home, living a life of displacement, and worrying about his livelihood. It’s pitiful. However.."

Tian Ji chuckled, "However, he thinks he can work as an intern school doctor at Haixing University — he’s dreaming. Leaving everything else aside, someone without any medical knowledge wouldn’t even be able to pass the initial written test."

Yang Gang drove around the campus, then suddenly stopped and rolled down the window.

Xue Lihua, who was chatting with someone, turned her head to see Yang Gang and became visibly excited, "Brother, are you here to see me?"

"I am going to attend the interview at the school hospital soon." Yang Gang answered.

"Oh, I see."

Yang Gang glanced at Xue Lihua, hesitated a little, but decided to ask, "Lihua, I’ve always wanted to ask you: why are you and Yang Fei always at odds. Aren’t you distant relatives? Also, I heard that you lived with the Yang family for some time when you were a child. Is there a specific reason?"

Xue Lihua’s gaze flickered, but she quickly composed herself and chuckled, "There’s no special reason, she and I are just natural rivals. Oh, Yang Gang, don’t think that I bullied Yang Fei. You don’t know how terribly she bullied me when we were kids."

"Haha~ I see." Yang Gang paused before adding, "Go on, hang out with your new friends. I have things to do."

Having said that, Yang Gang drove off.

He parked his car in front of the board of directors’ building, exited the vehicle and entered the building, heading straight to an office on the third floor.

He knocked on the door.

"Come in." It was Xia Ziyang’s voice.

Without any formality, Yang Gang walked right in.

Seeing Yang Gang, Xia Ziyang put down his files, and made a cup of tea for him, laughing, "I heard you’re applying for the position of school doctor at our university?"

Yang Gang laughed sheepishly, "I had no choice, it’s to earn a living."

Xia Ziyang couldn’t help but laugh, thinking, "Would you, an Ice Series Superpower user, ever be short of money?"

After a moment’s hesitation, he then said, "Well, as you know, the authority over Haixing University is quite dispersed. Part of it is with the central inspection group, part with the student council, and part with the board of directors. I am still the chairman of the board in name, but I don’t have much power anymore. At the most, I can help you pass the written exam. But for the final interview, you are on your own. I am powerless."

Yang Gang rose to his feet, offering his hand, and laughed, "That’s a great help. I am most afraid of written exams."

Subsequently, Yang Gang bade farewell to Xia Ziyang.

At three in the afternoon, Yang Gang attended the written exam conducted by Haixing University’s school hospital.

As expected, he couldn’t understand anything.

Yang Gang just filled in his name and examination number, then started writing randomly.

Then, while most of the other applicants had only finished around one-fifth of their answers, Yang Gang had already handed in his paper.

Yang Gang didn’t ponder over the exam further, he believed Xia Ziyang would handle everything for him.

Driving away from Haixing University, Yang Gang kept contemplating one question: why was he stubborn about staying at Haixing? Was it just to keep his promise to Xue Lihua?

Unable to figure it out, Yang Gang shook his head and quit the aimless thought.

Hangcheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea on one. Apart from Polo Mountain with its prime location, which is occupied by Hangcheng’s wealthy and has become Hangcheng’s renowned upscale region, there are still many ranges that remain wild and rugged.

Yang Gang found a secluded spot in the mountains and began practicing archery.

Thanks to continuous training, his archery had improved significantly, he could now hit targets a hundred meters away. But he was still far from reaching the ’arbitrary’ realm Zuo Lan mentioned.

However, improvement in archery helped him further augment his control over his Ice Series Superpowers.

He looked around at the snowy surroundings and, with a slight intent, the dancing snowflakes started to gather, transforming into various forms. An hour later, a mini ice and snow castle stood erected.

Although the architecture was a bit rough, overall it was quite pleasing to the eye.

Yang Gang stood quietly, looking at the ’ice and snow castle’ he had single-handedly created, his expressions slightly dimmed, "Xiaorou, you said you wanted to become ice princess and live in a beautiful ice and snow castle. Where are you, though?"

He stood in place for a while, then turned around and left.

As it was almost night, it was unsafe to stay in the mountains for too long.

After walking down the mountain for more than twenty minutes, Yang Gang’s pupils constricted, feeling apprehensive.

There were blood stains on the snow in front of him!
