The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor
Chapter 166 - 166 165 Special Treatment for Noncompliance

166: Chapter 165: Special Treatment for Noncompliance 166: Chapter 165: Special Treatment for Noncompliance Zhou Ji had been looking like an end-stage patient with muscle weakness ever since he came down from the fourth floor, and now he seemed to have developed nervous exhaustion as well.

He said to Liu Hun listlessly, “Tang Lei, academician of the Science Academy, a leading authority in domestic neurosurgery, the founder of neural cell transplantation, a visiting professor at Yale Medical School.

He loves to challenge things he finds objectionable, a real thorn in the side, and damn it, no one dares to provoke him.”

Ever since Xiao Yanzi made Liu Hun take over, Zhou Ji had not been doing well.

After uttering these words, he felt as if he had been drained of a whole liter of blood.

Fortunately, Liu Hun was by his side to support him, or he would have collapsed on the ground.

All eyes turned to Tang Lei, who stood on the lawn and addressed Xiao Yanzi, “The bureaucratic style at the county level is pretty severe.

From the moment I stepped into this hospital, I could feel it.

Under such an atmosphere, there is no chance for positive developments or prospects.

And furthermore!

Holding such high-end academic conferences at a county-level hospital is just ridiculous!

County hospitals should focus on their basic medical services.

What’s with this grand showboating?

What achievements do you even have to show off?”

After these words, a chill swept through the venue, making everyone’s scalp tingle.

This wasn’t just disregarding protocol but flipping the table and wreaking havoc!

“Director Zhou, isn’t the normal procedure for the leaders to speak, followed by a warm round of applause?

Each academic expert reports in turn, in a harmonious and enthusiastic atmosphere, achieving fruitful results, right?

How come this Professor Tang is causing such a scene?” a doctor next to Zhou Ji couldn’t help but ask.

In his lifetime, he had never seen anything like this.

Not to mention he hadn’t seen it, aside from those who were familiar with Tang Lei, nobody had seen such an episode before.

Who just starts slapping faces like that?

Zhou Ji was about to foam at the mouth.

Propped up by Liu Hun’s hands, he said to the doctor beside him like a deflated fish, “These people are the big pushers of the medical stratification system.

They all covet the Yulong Group’s funds to establish their own private hospitals, and they look down on us!

Who knows who came up with this damn fool idea to invite them?

Could they possibly give us a friendly face?”

The doctors around voiced their understanding, “It’s all for the sake of investment and money, isn’t it!

But our beautiful female county head is really in a tough position now; I wonder how she’s going to get off the stage?”

“Director Zhou, isn’t there anyone who can deal with people like Tang Lei?” Liu Hun asked while supporting Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji glanced at Liu Hun, and his heart grew even colder as he said, “You think you’re more capable and skilled than them?

Those people are top-notch in ability and finding faults, He Mingfu might have a sliver of hope.

You?

I think just drop it!”

Liu Hun gave a slight smile and, helping Zhou Ji up, said to him, “Director Zhou, I have a method, I assure you it will work!

You must believe me, otherwise, if we lose face for County Head Xiao, I reckon your position as director won’t be warm for long.”

“What method?” Zhou Ji hurriedly asked Liu Hun, aware of how serious the situation was, even more so than Liu Hun.

Liu Hun whispered in Zhou Ji’s ear for a while, and Zhou Ji’s face twisted as he listened.

After hearing the plan, he asked Liu Hun, “You…

can do it?”

“You never know, you might just step in dog shit if you try.

If you don’t try, you won’t even get the chance to step!” Liu Hun confidently told Zhou Ji.

Zhou Ji, seeing Xiao Yanzi frozen on stage and another person standing up by Tang Lei’s side, bit down hard and said, “Damn it!

Acting as a dead horse for the living horse doctor!”

Having said that, Zhou Ji perked up as if reinvigorated, called a few doctors next to him, and quietly left.

After Tang Lei had finished, everyone at the scene was like they had been hit with an Immobilization Spell, with no one to chime in or knowing how to defuse the situation as they looked at Xiao Yanzi, whose face still bore a polite smile, unsure of her thoughts.

If she wanted to show a willingness to listen to opinions and suggestions and accept expert advice, then jumping out to help now would only make matters worse!

No one could fathom the leader’s intentions, but Xiao Yanzi was well aware.

She had no idea that these so-called experts and scholars invited by Li Tianyang would just start slapping her face as soon as they arrived.

She had thought it was simply a formality before discussing investment with the Yulong Group and offering some policy favors, and that would be it.

“County Head Xiao, since you want to hear opinions and suggestions, I’ll just speak frankly!” Another man by Tang Lei’s side stood up and said, “The level of medical care and conditions in your county hospital, as well as the whole county, are third-rate or even fourth-rate!

I dare say that not a single undergraduate from a prestigious university, let alone masters or PhD graduates, is working in the whole hospital!

With such standards, you still expect investment from the Yulong Group?

It’s simply delusional!”

“County Head Xiao, as the leader of the county, do you not have a clear notion of the medical standard of your own county?

Don’t you care about people’s well-being?

All this pomp and circumstance, these so-called conferences, that’s all you county officials are good for – a bunch of empty, meaningless gestures!”

“…”

Xiao Yanzi had no idea these so-called experts were eyeing the Yulong Group’s funding, standing utterly opposed to her.

The more she listened to them, the more outrageous their claims seemed.

The polite smile on her face was no longer sustainable, and with her lower lip bitten, fists clenched, she was ready to call the meeting adjourned when suddenly, a figure appeared beside her.

“Liu Hun!

What are you doing up here?” Xiao Yanzi was instantly taken aback and asked Liu Hun.

Liu Hun cracked a slight smile and said, “Aren’t I the representative of our county hospital?

So, let me handle these thorny issues, and I guarantee I’ll strip them clean for you!

Leave it to me!”

After speaking, Liu Hun intended to pat Xiao Yanzi on the back, in a comforting gesture; who would have expected he accidentally patted her plump and perky rear end instead.

Damn it!

Liu Hun inwardly cursed at his mistake, realizing this was the second-in-command of the entire Anchang County, a leader of the government team.

While Liu Hun was still pondering how to apologize, he heard Xiao Yanzi beside him ‘hmm’ with a quiver in her voice, sounding like a little girl who just promised to be good after a spanking.

Xiao Yanzi was suddenly aware of her mishap, her heart pounding.

She wondered if Liu Hun did it intentionally or not, pondering whether he was truly frivolous, but assuming it must have been accidental…

The formidable county mayor felt a complex swirl of girlish thoughts, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She gave Liu Hun a coy yet reproachful glance, fearful that others would notice and quickly left the stage.

“Hello, everyone!

I’m Dr.

Liu Hun from the Taiping…

Anchang County Hospital, and also a representative at this symposium.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.” Liu Hun stood at the podium and addressed the audience, and since all these esteemed professors liked to be academic, he’d be academic too.

Today, he had to restore Xiao Yanzi’s dignity, as well as enlighten these so-called experts and professors, teaching them not to judge people superficially.

Tang Lei’s bespectacled middle-aged companion stepped forward and asked Liu Hun, “What qualifications do you have?

Which school did you graduate from?

How many years of clinical experience do you have?

Have you published any papers in academic journals?”

Liu Hun, without even thinking, retorted, “And you?”

The bespectacled man instantly bristled, having always thought himself the Sword-wielding Hero of the medical world, known by all; unimaginable that there could be someone who didn’t know his name!

The bespectacled man raised his head and loudly said, “Hmph!

Listen up!

I, Hong Yuan, am a Harvard Medical School PhD, an honorary member of the United States Science Academy, and a professor at the University of Chicago’s Biomedical School, with ten papers published in Nature magazine.”

This laundry list of titles couldn’t even be accommodated by ten county hospitals combined.

In the hearts of the younger doctors around, it was as if an enormous chasm had been dug.

However, to Liu Hun, it was all inconsequential.

He said to the bespectacled man, “What’s all the fuss about those American titles here?”

Hong Yuan was almost infuriated to the point of spitting blood.

He had thought that dropping these names would terrify Liu Hun, but to his astonishment, Liu Hun had the audacity to speak such words.

Another middle-aged man by Hong Yuan’s side then stood up and said, “Although Professor Hong gained his achievements in the United States, they are first-class at a global level.

American medicine is the pinnacle of the world!

It’s a hundred years ahead of our country!

Our country’s medical standards and facilities simply can’t compare to the United States; they’re utterly lacking!”

“Utterly lacking my foot!

How much did the Americans pay you?

Licking their boots so much you’re aspiring to eat shit?” Liu Hun mumbled to himself, then asked, “And who might you be?”

“I, Xu Zhigao, am a medical doctor from the Royal College of Physicians in the UK, a visiting professor at Stanford University, the recipient of honors from multiple medical institutions at home and abroad, with nearly a hundred academic papers published, and furthermore, an academician of the China Science Academy!

Awarded with a special allowance by the State Council!” Xu Zhigao proudly showcased his series of accomplishments, looking smug as if there was no one but him in the world.

Tang Lei, Hong Yuan, and Xu Zhigao’s statuses had the young doctors on the entire lawn close to kneeling in awe, feeling like the difference between a bare mongrel and a tiger coming down the mountain.

However, in Liu Hun’s case, the same words applied, yet again, utterly inconsequential.

He was asking about these people’s identities not out of curiosity, nor did he wish for them to show off here, but to bide time, waiting for Zhou Ji to get ready.

From his vantage point at the podium, Liu Hun could see afar.

Once Zhou Ji was ready, he said to the few people below, “Enough of that nonsense.

What’s the most important thing about being a doctor?

It’s not about how many titles or what papers you’ve got; stacks of those haven’t saved a single life.”

“Hmph!

We’ve saved countless lives; you’re just a lowly doctor only good at spouting nonsense!

What can you possibly be capable of?” Tang Lei snorted contemptuously, sure that if he were Sun Wukong in terms of combat strength, then Liu Hun was nothing but ash in Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad’s Alchemy Furnace.

Liu Hun’s gaze turned fierce as he looked at Tang Lei and said, “My abilities will have you kneeling and calling me daddy!

Director Zhou, bring them out!”
