The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 175 The Needle King of Jiangbei
This meant that their voices carried little weight, and their approval of Chen Xiao wouldn't have any real effect.
They could only watch helplessly as Qin Lifu flitted through the crowd, a social butterfly showing off his skills.
Qin Lifu even glanced at Chen Xiao with a triumphant and victorious look!
This scene infuriated Liu Shuai so much that he stamped his feet, but he was helpless. Chen-ge was indeed a little behind Qin Lifu in terms of popularity.
But Chen Xiao didn't care about this. In fact, he had no interest in the exchange meeting itself.
After all, his medical skills were far beyond those of this era. Even the most awesome doctor here was like an elementary school student in front of him.
He really had nothing to exchange with them.
He was here entirely to give Dean Hao face and just go through the motions.
Just then, a burst of exclamations came from the entrance of the venue.
It seemed like a big shot had arrived, and everyone went to the door to greet them.
"Old Qin, you're here!"
"Old Qin, how have you been lately? It's been so long, your students miss you!"
"Old Qin, we were just talking about you with Lifu, and here you are!"
…
Amid the flattery, an old man with white hair slowly walked into the venue.
Although the old man was advanced in age, he was full of energy and in good health.
He smiled and waved to the crowd, assuming an air of being the center of attention.
Without any introduction, Chen Xiao could guess that this old man must be Qin Lifu's grandfather, the Jiangbei Needle King, Qin Shouchun!
Seeing this scene, and then looking at the desolate scene in front of Chen Xiao, Liu Shuai was filled with dissatisfaction, and muttered in a low voice, "Tch, a bunch of sycophants! So what if he's an old man? I don't believe his medical skills are better than Chen-ge's!"
Chen Xiao glared at him, "Liu Shuai, don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Shuai stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak.
Chen Xiao naturally knew that Liu Shuai was speaking up for him.
But grandfathers are grandfathers, and grandsons are grandsons. The two should not be confused.
Qin Lifu went over to support his grandfather, his face full of triumph. "Grandpa, you're finally here!"
Qin Shouchun snorted, "You brat, if it weren't to support you, this old bone of mine wouldn't have come to this exchange meeting!"
Qin Lifu said gratefully, "Grandpa, thank you, I knew you were the best to me!"
Originally, Qin Shouchun had not planned to attend this medical exchange meeting. After all, he was old and wanted to stay at home as much as possible.
However, after Qin Lifu embarrassed himself at the bar yesterday, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed and laughed at at today's exchange meeting, so he brought out his grandfather to stabilize the situation!
"You brat, you're not young anymore, it's time to settle down, find someone to marry, and Grandpa plans to hold his great-grandson before he dies!"
Qin Shouchun said tremblingly.
Hearing this topic, Qin Lifu's face immediately changed.
Are you kidding? He hadn't had enough fun yet, why would he get married?
He was about to say a few words to perfunctorily brush it off when he suddenly caught sight of Wu Fei'er's stunning beauty.
His mind raced, and he sighed, "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to get married, it's just that the person I like doesn't accept my pursuit. I'm also very troubled, alas!"
Qin Shouchun was overjoyed when he heard this.
How could he, as the grandfather, not have heard of his grandson's romantic exploits?
Now that Qin Lifu actually said such a thing, Qin Shouchun immediately knew that this playboy wanted to settle down!
He pretended to be angry, "Whose daughter is so blind that she doesn't even like my grandson? Tell Grandpa, and I'll talk to her parents!"
Qin Lifu shook his head and said, "Grandpa, I don't know anything about her family. She's not from around here. She's a representative sent by Jiangcheng Hospital to participate in the exchange meeting."
Qin Shouchun immediately lost interest when he heard this, "So she's a girl from out of town..."
Marriage is about matching families. In Qin Shouchun's opinion, a girl from out of town was naturally not worthy of his grandson!
"But Grandpa, even though she's from out of town, I really like her, you have to help me!"
It's not that Qin Lifu really liked Wu Fei'er that much. He mainly caused a ruckus last night because of Wu Fei'er.
If he couldn't get Wu Fei'er in the end, it would be a huge blow to his entire womanizing career.
However, Qin Shouchun was not satisfied with this marriage from the bottom of his heart, so he just casually said, "Alright, alright, I know. I see a few old friends over there, I'll take you over to meet them!"
Soon after, the exchange meeting officially began. Several members of the Jiangbei Medical Association's Council sat on the rostrum, and Qin Shouchun was also among them, as the vice president of the Council.
In addition to Old Qin, the experts from the Central Hospital who performed the rescue operation yesterday were all members of the Council.
However, what Chen Xiao was more curious about was that the seat of the president of the Council was empty. The president did not attend this exchange meeting.
Under the auspices of Zhu Zihai, the exchange meeting proceeded in an orderly manner.
The various activities prepared by the Council could be described in two words for Chen Xiao: 'boring'.
It wasn't until the hospital rating session that Chen Xiao perked up a bit.
Of course, he was only concerned about the ranking of Jiangcheng Hospital.
This ranking was not for the five hospitals participating in this meeting, but a ranking of hundreds of hospitals throughout Jiangbei.
In the end, the Provincial Central Hospital was still ranked first, and the Provincial Affiliated Hospital was ranked second.
This ranking was also reasonable. After all, it was the provincial hospital, and medical resources were relatively skewed, which was much stronger than other cities.
The third place was Jiangcheng Hospital, which was already the best ranking in the history of Jiangcheng Hospital!
As representatives of Jiangcheng Hospital, Chen Xiao, Wu Fei'er and others were very happy and proud.
However, they didn't know that Chen Xiao himself had made a great contribution to Jiangcheng Hospital in this ranking.
The ranking only announced the top ten, and the rest were issued in the form of an announcement on the official website, and those interested could browse it themselves.
After announcing the ranking, Zhu Zihai suddenly cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Everyone, it's time for the Council's new member recruitment session again. Cough, recently, the Jiangbei medical community has seen a lot of talent emerge, and many young people have shown their potential!"
"Okay, I won't talk too much nonsense. Here, I will cast my precious vote for Dr. Chen Xiao from Jiangbei Hospital!"
