Lin Feng, though surprised to see the pair, ignored them and approached Principal Wang. "Principal, I'm here to ask why my graduation certificate hasn't been issued yet."
"I went to the Academic Affairs Office earlier, and they said it requires your approval!"
Principal Wang, already in a foul mood, saw Lin Feng daring to ask about his graduation certificate and said coldly, "Student Lin Feng, after deliberation by the school leadership, due to your illegal practice of medicine outside of school, our school has decided to revoke your graduation and expel you from the student body!"
"As for the adverse consequences of your illegal medical practice, our school will hand them over to the relevant departments for handling!"
Lin Feng's expression changed. "Principal, when did I illegally practice medicine? You're framing me, but you need evidence, don't you?"
"Haha, you want evidence? This is the evidence!"
Zheng Youlong sneered and threw the video of Lin Feng treating Elder Tang onto the table.
Lin Feng then realized that Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen were behind this, having secretly recorded the process of him treating Elder Tang.
"Bitch is still a bitch. Unable to defeat him openly, she resorted to such despicable tactics from behind!"
"Student Lin Feng, do you have anything else to say? If not, go back and await the outcome!"
Principal Wang's face was grim, and he held no good impression of Lin Feng.
"Principal, I admit I practiced medicine without a license, but the situation was urgent. As a medical student, I couldn't stand by and watch someone die!"
"Moreover, I cured the person, I didn't harm them!"
"Therefore, I do not agree with the school's decision!"
Lin Feng suppressed his anger and appealed.
"Lin Feng, the school has its rules. Your unlicensed practice is a fact, and the principal expelling you is fair and just. Whether you agree or not, you have to accept it!"
Zheng Youlong chimed in, feeling a surge of satisfaction watching Lin Feng's predicament.
"That's right, Lin Feng. You think you were being heroic, but in reality, you were tarnishing the school's reputation!"
"With Vice Principal Zheng present, your intervention was unnecessary. You insisted on currying favor with Elder Tang and acted rashly!"
"Such opportunistic behavior must be severely punished!"
Qin Wenwen accused fiercely.
Hearing their accusations, Principal Wang's opinion of Lin Feng solidified. He stated unequivocally, "Student Lin Feng, please leave immediately. How the school handles this is not for you to question!"
"Since you dared to practice medicine without a license, you must be prepared to bear all consequences! This is all your own doing!"
Lin Feng was speechless. He realized that Principal Wang had been brainwashed by Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen and could no longer explain.
"Fine, I'll leave! But don't you two celebrate too soon. I will settle the score with you both, one by one!"
Lin Feng cast a cold glance at Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen before turning to leave.
Just then, the door to the principal's office was abruptly pushed open.
"Who said he was practicing medicine without a license?"
A hoarse yet authoritative voice rang out. Dean Zou, accompanied by a director from the health system, entered.
"Dean Zou, Director Li, what brings you here?!"
Principal Wang recognized them and hurried to greet them.
Dean Zou ignored Principal Wang, took out a certificate from his bag, and handed it to Lin Feng. "Student Lin Feng, this is a medical practice qualification certificate specially approved for you by Director Li. It was ready a while ago, but I couldn't reach you, so I'm giving it to you today."
"Furthermore, this is an appointment letter from our hospital. If you're willing, I'd like to appoint you as the Director of Surgery here!"
The statement stunned not only Principal Wang but also Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen.
"Thank you, Dean Zou, thank you, Director Li."
Lin Feng smiled as he accepted the medical practice qualification certificate, then turned to Principal Wang. "Principal, my medical practice qualification certificate was ready long ago, so I wasn't practicing without a license previously."
"Therefore, your expulsion of me and revocation of my graduation certificate, isn't that somewhat misguided?"
Principal Wang snapped back to attention, realizing Lin Feng's close relationship with Dean Zou and Director Li. He quickly changed his tone. "A misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! Since you have a medical practice qualification certificate, your graduation certificate will be issued as usual!"
"Principal Wang, as a school administrator, to rashly attempt to expel an outstanding student without fully investigating the truth, do you realize that what you've done could ruin a genius in our medical field?"
"Can you bear the loss to the medical community?"
Director Li reprimanded angrily. He had already learned of Lin Feng's superb medical skills from Dean Zou.
He had accompanied Dean Zou this time precisely to meet this medical prodigy!
Principal Wang was so embarrassed he couldn't speak, but he dared not refute. At this moment, he could only glare fiercely at Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen.
Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen, sensing the hostility in Principal Wang's gaze, felt a pang of guilt.
They had planned everything meticulously, expecting to send Lin Feng to perdition, only to have Dean Zou and Director Li intervene unexpectedly.
What was so special about this bastard Lin Feng that these two titans were backing him?
Why?
Zheng Youlong was deeply resentful, and his hatred for Lin Feng reached unprecedented heights.
At this moment, Lin Feng said, "Dean Zou, thank you for your kind offer, but I'm used to being free and don't wish to be a Director of Surgery."
"That's fine. If you don't want to work a fixed schedule, you can be an honorary director at our hospital, coming and going as you please."
Dean Zou tried his best to retain him.
"Why? Why should he be an honorary director?"
Zheng Youlong couldn't stand it any longer and said displeasedly, "Dean Zou, even if you are the head of the Central Hospital, you cannot abuse your power!"
"Lin Feng is young, just graduated from university. At most, he can be an intern. What you're doing is unfair to other medical personnel!"
Zheng Youlong's passionate remarks echoed the sentiments of Qin Wenwen and Principal Wang.
They too couldn't understand why Dean Zou placed such importance on Lin Feng.
In response, Dean Zou said righteously, "Because Lin Feng's medical skills command the respect of even me, the dean. Because he can save more lives. Because he is a rare talent in the medical field, is that reason enough?"
"This, this!"
Zheng Youlong was so thoroughly rebuffed he didn't know what to say.
Principal Wang, however, understood and said with a forced smile, "Dean Zou is right. Lin Feng has always been the top student in our school. If he can serve at the Central Hospital, it will be an inspiration to other students."
"I will inform all faculty and students to use Student Lin Feng as a role model, to learn from him and strive to be like him!"
"That's right. Don't easily dismiss a genius; learn from them!"
Director Li nodded with satisfaction.
Then, looking at Lin Feng, he added, "Student Lin Feng, I have something to discuss with you as well. Shall we step outside?"
"Certainly, Director Li."
Lin Feng smiled faintly, not refusing.
He owed his narrow escape and the humiliation of Zheng Youlong and Qin Wenwen to Director Li and Dean Zou.
