The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 167 Little Medicine King

The eunuch stepped forward, blocking the way of the doctors.

His gaze was fixed on Zhu Zihai, after all, he was the oldest among these people and often represented the most authoritative one.

This red-robed bald man looked intimidating, but his voice was very kind and could be described as gentle.

"Doctor, is Han Bin alright? How is his condition?"

Zhu Zihai was slightly stunned, then instantly realized that this person was talking about the patient inside.

"The surgery was very successful. The patient is fine and can be discharged after a period of rest!"

The red-robed bald man's eyes lit up. He obviously didn't expect the patient to survive such a serious injury.

"Thank you, doctor!"

The red-robed bald man bowed to Zhu Zihai, saying gratefully.

Zhu Zihai didn't dare to take the credit and quickly pointed to Chen Xiao, saying, "You don't need to thank me. You should thank this Dr. Chen. If it weren't for him, the patient would probably be..."

The red-robed bald man was slightly stunned and looked at Chen Xiao, seemingly surprised that Chen Xiao was so young but played such a crucial role in the surgery.

In fact, he wasn't the only one stunned. All the doctors who attended the conference were waiting outside the operating room.

After hearing Zhu Zihai's words, they immediately began to whisper to each other, asking around about the origins of this young doctor who was so highly praised by Zhu Zihai!

Chen Xiao turned a deaf ear to all the voices. Instead, he was very interested in the red-robed bald man in front of him.

"Young man, what's your name?"

He asked 'gently,' with a warm smile on his face.

"My name is Chen Xiao," Chen Xiao said.

The red-robed bald man said solemnly, "Chen Xiao, thank you for saving my good brother Han Bin. Long Xiao owes you a favor. You can mention my name if you encounter any trouble in the future!"

Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Long, you should go and take care of your brother."

Chen Xiao didn't take the other party's words to heart at all. After all, if it was trouble that even he couldn't solve, he didn't believe that mentioning any name would help solve it!

Long Xiao nodded to Chen Xiao and hurried towards the ward.

At this time, Liu Shuai was the first to rush to Chen Xiao's side, asking in an adoring tone, "Brother Chen, what earth-shattering thing did you do in the operating room again? Tell us about it!"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning!"

Chen Xiao was being humble, but the other doctors wouldn't let him be humble. After all, there were so many people who had witnessed it!

Chen Xiao's so-called 'small effort' was definitely qualified to become the most refreshing topic for them to talk about after meals!

Zhu Zihai also remembered Chen Xiao's kindness. After all, this patient was someone the director of the Health Bureau had personally instructed to take care of. If he hadn't been rescued, the director would definitely have some complaints.

It was getting dark, and everyone was tired after working for half a day and should have dinner.

So he decided to host a few tables of banquets at a high-end hotel for dinner tonight, to treat everyone.

Before the banquet, Chen Xiao became the absolute focus.

Someone couldn't help but exaggerate his glorious deeds.

The Tong Gui Shen Zhen (Copper Ghost Divine Needles), a needle technique passed down by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, was used by Chen Xiao with superb skill, forcibly pulling a person with no hope back from the brink of death.

Everyone listened with great interest, marveling at the miraculous skills!

Everyone toasted Chen Xiao, considering it an honor to be able to say a few words to Chen Xiao.

It wasn't until the banquet was halfway through that Chen Xiao's popularity slightly decreased.

Just then, a young man came late.

And his arrival instantly triggered another climax at the banquet.

The young man looked sunny and handsome, tall, and dressed exquisitely, looking like an idol trainee.

As soon as he saw this person, Sun Xu leaned close to Liu Shuai and said with excitement, "The protagonist is here, the protagonist is here!"

Liu Shuai looked puzzled, "What protagonist?"

He thought, with Chen Xiao around, who else is qualified to be called the protagonist? Obviously, no one!

Sun Xu lowered his voice and said, "Did you forget? The one I told you about, from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, with strong connections!"

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Zihai saw him, he began to reprimand him, "Why are you so late, the dishes are getting cold, hurry up and take a seat!"

Although it was a reprimand, it carried the kind of doting that elders have for younger generations, indicating that they had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.

The young man quickly apologized, "Sorry, everyone, something came up and I was late. I'll drink a cup to apologize to everyone!"

As he spoke, the young man found an empty seat, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

He happened to be sitting opposite Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao noticed that although this young man had a kind face, his eyes were unruly, indicating that he was a proud person.

Zhu Zihai had a satisfied smile on his face. He took advantage of the alcohol and said, "Everyone, do you know who this little guy is?"

Before everyone could react, he answered himself, "He is the eldest grandson of Qin Laoda (Old Qin), named Qin Lifu. I watched him grow up. Old Qin is known as the Jiangbei (north of the Yangtze River) Needle King, and this little guy can be said to have completely inherited his grandfather's mantle. Don't look at how young he is, but his medical skills are very impressive. I heard he even has a nickname now, called Little Medicine King!"

Sun Xu said to Liu Shuai as if reciting a list of treasures, "Jiangbei Needle King Qin Shouchun is a leading figure in the Jiangbei traditional Chinese medicine world, and he is also a medical master. I heard that many hospital directors are Qin Lao's disciples!"

Liu Shuai was stunned. This was really comparing people to others, making people angry!

Some people are born as oxen and horses, while others are born directly in Rome.

People like Qin Lifu are born to be doctors, and famous doctors at that!

Hearing Zhu Zihai's praise, Qin Lifu's eyebrows and eyes revealed a hint of smugness, but he was very modest.

"Uncle Zhu is too kind. I am still young, and there is a long way to go. Everyone here is someone I can learn from. The title of Little Medicine King is just a joke now. I hope that one day, I can truly live up to this title!"

These words were neither humble nor arrogant, and were impeccable, drawing applause from the audience.

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Dr. Qin is the Little Medicine King, and his grandfather is the Jiangbei Needle King, so his needle skills must be very good. Dr. Chen's needle skills are also not to be outdone. I really wonder which of the two is more skilled?"

It was hard to tell if this person was clueless or just liked to stir up trouble.

These words were somewhat provocative, especially at a banquet.

Qin Lifu was slightly stunned, and a trace of displeasure appeared in the corner of his eyes.

But he pretended to be questioning and asked with a smile, "May I know which one is Dr. Chen?"

Chen Xiao said lightly, "Dr. Qin, hello, I am Chen Xiao."

Qin Lifu looked in the direction of the voice, and his gaze suddenly became sluggish.

However, he was not looking at Chen Xiao, but at Wu Feier next to Chen Xiao!
