Chapter 978 - Chapter 978 Chapter 978 Being Looked Down Upon

Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Being Looked Down Upon Chapter 978: Chapter 978: Being Looked Down Upon Yang Yunlin was reprimanding his son and daughter at home when he received a phone call and hurriedly left.

His subordinate reported that there were many patients with respiratory infections, and there was a trend of an outbreak.

The deputy in charge of culture, education, health, and sanitation was on a business trip, and fearing that something might happen at this time, Yang Yunlin immediately rushed to the affiliated hospital.

The period before and after the New Year was a sensitive time for job changes, and he did not wish for anything to go wrong.

After hearing some experts report that the current series of treatment methods had not achieved good results, Yang Yunlin did not make any hasty statements but sought the opinions of the expert panel one by one. He did not understand medicine, and would not take a stance before clarifying the situation.

What he did not expect, however, was to see Luo Ziling appear before him while he was meeting with the experts to discuss treatment plans.

The appearance of Luo Ziling was not what surprised him the most.

Coming along with Luo Ziling were his own son and daughter, and that was what truly astonished and angered him.

He had told his son and daughter to go home and scolded them, yet in the blink of an eye, they were mixing with Luo Ziling again, which made Yang Yunlin very angry.

If there had not been so many people around, and if he were not at the hospital to direct work in his capacity as a high-ranking official, he certainly would have lost his temper on the spot.

Luo Ziling was taken aback; he had not expected to encounter Yang Yunlin here. He then remembered that just now, Yang Qingye had mentioned that Yang Yunlin had received a phone call and left in a hurry, seemingly related to the hospital. It seemed that Yang Yunlin had received the hospital’s report and had rushed over.

From this point, it was clear that the treatment of the patients with respiratory infections had indeed encountered trouble; otherwise, someone of Yang Yunlin’s status would not have come here personally at night.

Yang Qingyin and Yang Qingye, who had come to be part of the excitement, were completely scared silly when they accidentally saw their father.

Although they were wearing hats and masks, Yang Yunlin still recognized them, which could be seen from the change in his expression.

Yang Qingye was so frightened that she shivered and turned to flee, but Yang Qingyin grabbed her.

“Since he’s already seen us,” Yang Qingyin tried to calm herself down, “a scolding is inevitable. We might as well stay; if he wants to scold, let him do it to our faces, so we don’t have to walk on eggshells when we go back.”

In fact, Yang Qingyin wanted to see how Luo Ziling would behave in the presence of her father.

If Luo Ziling’s appearance could solve the treatment problem for the patients with respiratory infections, then Yang Yunlin’s attitude towards him would certainly change.

This was what Yang Qingyin hoped to see.

Yang Qingyin also wanted to see what attitude Yang Yunlin would adopt after Luo Ziling was summoned by Wu Mingyun.

Therefore, Yang Qingyin, pulling along Yang Qingye, hid in the doctor’s office next to the conference room, quietly waiting for the subsequent developments.

Yang Yunlin came to the hospital to guide the prevention and treatment work for respiratory infections, and officials from the health system also arrived.

Officials from the Health and Family Planning Commission at two levels, as well as the majority of hospital leadership, were present, and a group of internal medicine experts from the affiliated hospitals had also been called in.

However, among the medical system personnel, the only people Luo Ziling knew were Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun.

When Luo Ziling arrived, Wu Mingyun personally greeted him into the conference room and introduced him to all the attendees.

“Dean Wu, what are you doing, inviting a student who is still studying at medical school to discuss treatment plans with experts,” Upon learning that Luo Ziling was just a first-year medical student at the Department of Clinical Medicine at Yan University Medical School, Director Li Minglai from the Health and Family Planning Commission couldn’t help but frown and asked Wu Mingyun bluntly, “You’re really playing the lute to a cow!”

Wu Mingyun had actually anticipated that there would be much ado about nothing when he called for Luo Ziling’s aid, so he wasn’t surprised at all, and he explained with a smile, “Director Li, last time, one of our teachers at the medical school suddenly suffered a heart attack and collapsed during a class. It was Ziling who cleverly provided treatment and saved him, leaving no sequelae. Thanks to his treatment, that teacher’s cardiovascular disease has since improved significantly, and our own Director Li from the cardiology department personally witnessed this, deeming it a miracle. Besides, his grandfather was once our teacher and imparted to us a lot of medical knowledge that isn’t found in textbooks. I believe in his medical skills!”

Li Mingxun immediately stood up too: “Dean Wu is right, Ziling’s medical skills are extremely exquisite. He has learned from his grandfather and has gained thorough insight into traditional medical techniques. His grandfather, wanting him to further advance his skills, thus sent him to study Western medicine, hoping he could integrate Chinese and Western methodologies for greater achievements. This doesn’t mean his medical skills are poor; it just means he hasn’t studied Western medicine as extensively.”

“Dean Wu, Director Li,” Li Mingxun had barely finished speaking when Vice Dean Zhang Guodong from the affiliated hospital stood up and bluntly countered Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun, “Nowadays, many so-called folk masters of Chinese medicine are merely using it as a guise to swindle money. The situation with the respiratory infection patients is very severe; a little negligence in isolation could lead to widespread contagion, and if the respiratory diseases spread on a large scale, the consequences would be unimaginable. We’ve employed so many measures yet haven’t been able to treat these patients effectively, leading to numerous cases of respiratory failure. Do you really feel assured handing them over to a green, first-year medical student? You must realize, with so many experts on the panel, none has come up with an effective treatment method…”

However, before he could finish, Luo Ziling cut him off, “You’re wrong, my hair has grown out completely! If you don’t believe it, you can check it out! Speaking without thinking at your age can be unbecoming of your status.”

Luo Ziling’s blunt retort instantly shocked everyone present.

There were also several female doctors participating in the disease discussion. Of course, as soon as they saw Luo Ziling appear, they immediately took a liking to the young man because he was very handsome, and it was a quiet kind of handsome, which they liked at first sight.

They just hadn’t expected that Luo Ziling would seize on Zhang Guodong’s sarcastic remark and rebuke him publicly, leaving them utterly dumbfounded.

“Appearances can be deceiving,” sprang to their minds in an instant.

Even Wu Mingyun and Li Mingxun hadn’t expected Luo Ziling to be so impolite, using such an indescribably blunt reply to counter Zhang Guodong.

Yang Yunlin wasn’t surprised at all.

He had interacted with Luo Ziling several times and was well aware of his temperament. If Ziling dared to talk back even to him and Yang Yuanshan, how much more to a mere vice dean of a hospital. However, he didn’t make a sound, merely sitting quietly, wanting to see how these people would stir things up next.

Of course, he hoped Luo Ziling would make a fool of himself without him needing to lift a finger so that he would feel a little more comfortable in his heart.
