Wu Tian's words sent a jolt of shock through Xu Chao.
He immediately retorted, disbelief etched on his face, "You, you, you... What did you say? You dare to look down on my status?!"
"I have international awards in my hands. What about you? What are you? What can you compare with me?"
Wu Tian sneered, "International awards?"
"Nowadays, any award can be called an international award. Who knows if your so-called award is some kind of vanity award?"
"I'm telling you, with your abilities, it's best to stop here."
"If you continue to harm others, you'll only end up harming yourself."
The more Xu Chao heard, the more enraged he became. He gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to call my award a vanity award? Then what are you?"
"You and I are not on the same level. Wanting to reach my height is something you'll never achieve in your lifetime!"
Wu Tian smiled, about to speak.
But at this moment, a familiar voice called from behind, "What are you two doing? This is a hospital. How can you be making such a racket?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chao knew it was Wang Shenshou.
He quickly said, "Wang Shenshou, you've arrived at the perfect time!"
"There's a village doctor here causing trouble and delaying me from saving people. Hurry up and get him out!"
"Village doctor?" Hearing this, Wang Shenshou's expression immediately turned serious.
He hurried over to take a look and, upon seeing that it was indeed Wu Tian, his face lit up with surprise.
He exclaimed with great joy, "Master? Why didn't you let me know you were back!"
Wu Tian smiled, "It's just a trip home. What's there to announce? You see me now, don't you?"
Everyone was stunned.
They knew Wang Shenshou, but what he had just said was incomprehensible to them. Master?
Whose master? Who was whose master?
And Xu Chao was the most shocked of all!
He trembled and asked, "Wang Shenshou, what did you just say? Do you know each other?"
Wang Shenshou replied, "Of course, we know each other. Wu Tian is my master, how could I not know him?"
"By the way, Xu Chao, what are you doing here with my master?"
"You've only been here for a couple of days, so it's best to behave yourself and not cause any trouble."
Xu Chao couldn't believe his ears. He denied, "No, how is that possible!"
"Wang Shenshou, you are a renowned doctor. This person is just a village doctor. How could he possibly be your master?"
"You're not joking with me, are you?"
Wang Shenshou's expression turned unpleasant upon hearing Xu Chao's words.
He said coldly, "Joking? What am I joking with you about?"
"I'm saying you were making a scene here just now. Don't tell me you have some past grievances with my master?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's not a grievance, just a few pointers."
"But he not only didn't listen, he even used his status to mock me. What do you think about that?"
"There's such a thing!" Hearing Wu Tian's words, Wang Shenshou was immediately enraged.
He roared at Xu Chao, "Xu Chao! You have some nerve!"
"How dare you mock my master? Have you looked in the mirror? Do you think you're so great!"
Wu Tian laughed, "Wang Shenshou, you shouldn't say things like that. He's won international awards. I'm not worthy of comparison."
Wang Shenshou snorted, "International awards?"
"Bah! What kind of international award is that? You can get it just by paying money. Our hospital doesn't recognize it at all!"
"Oh? Is that so!" Wu Tian looked at Xu Chao with feigned surprise.
"So, Dr. Xu, it seems you really did get a vanity award."
Xu Chao was petrified.
He never dreamed that after trying so hard to show off, things would turn out this way.
Feeling the surprised gazes of everyone around him, Xu Chao felt as if his heart had been pierced by countless needles.
He couldn't stand this. If he couldn't regain some face today, how could he possibly continue working in this hospital in the future!
So he gritted his teeth and said, "So what if that's the case? I'm still a doctor with a formal position!"
"But he, no matter what, is just a village doctor!"
"A village doctor is not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as me. I don't care who he is to you, my status is nobler than his!"
"You!" Wang Shenshou was so angry that he was trembling, not expecting Xu Chao to say such a thing.
He pointed at Xu Chao and shouted, "You scoundrel! What do you know? You know nothing!"
"I'm telling you, my master just returned from Country Bird. He won the championship in the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Competition thanks to him!"
"Which doctor in our China can compare to his honor? You dare to challenge him today, I think you really don't want to work here anymore!"
"Ah?!" Xu Chao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him from the heavens, leaving him stunned.
Ordinary people might not know about the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition.
But as someone in the medical field, he was certainly aware of this renowned competition!
He had also heard that the Chinese team had won the championship, but he never imagined that the person in front of him would be one of the contestants!
As he stood there in a daze, Chen Tiebing also said with a tremor, "Wang Shenshou, are you sure you're not making this up?"
"I heard that a doctor from our China made a brilliant appearance at the Asian competition and impressed the contestants from various countries, right?"
"That person was called Wu Tian, could it really be him?"
Wang Shenshou replied, "Director Chen, if not him, then who else could it be?"
"Although I'm old, I'm not senile, am I?"
"If Wu Tian didn't have sufficient ability, do you think I would have taken him as my master?"
Chen Tiebing was in a state of disarray.
To be honest, during the argument between Wu Tian and Xu Chao, he hadn't fully believed Wu Tian.
Because of his status as a village doctor, it inevitably created a prejudice in his mind.
But now it was different. Wu Tian was actually a champion contestant in the Asian Traditional Chinese Medicine Competition, and a prominent one at that.
Such a status could be considered a national treasure!
Let alone the director of the county health bureau, even the director of the municipal health bureau would have to be respectful when meeting Wu Tian.
Therefore, he immediately felt a sense of awe towards Wu Tian.
He put on a strained smile and said, "So it's Mr. Wu. Hello, hello. I apologize for my earlier offense. Please forgive me!"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "It's nothing. More importantly, you should first concern yourself with your father's condition."
Chen Tiebing was taken aback, "My father?"
"Isn't my father's condition already stable?"
