Lin Xiao Tian arrived at the medical clinic, and as soon as he entered, he saw an annoying figure.
"Lin Xiao Tian, you're finally here."
It was none other than Dong Lin speaking.
Ever since he considered Lin Xiao Tian a rival in love, Dong Lin had been looking for trouble with him constantly. This time, he had prepared thoroughly to deal with Lin Xiao Tian.
"Xiao Tian, you're here!" Xu Qing He walked over with a smile.
"Xiao Tian, this is young master Dong Lin, a doctor from the Jin Du National Medical Clinic. I assume you've met before," Xu Qing He introduced.
"Oh, we've met," Lin Xiao Tian replied absentmindedly.
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's perfunctory response, Dong Lin's expression immediately soured.
Others would respectfully address him as young master Dong, but Lin Xiao Tian merely said "met."
This deeply wounded Dong Lin's pride.
"Lin Xiao Tian, what's your attitude?"
"What did I say wrong?"
"I'm your superior, is this how you address your superior when they arrive?"
Lin Xiao Tian was taken aback and quickly asked, "May I ask what position you hold?"
"A doctor at the Jin Du National Medical Clinic," Dong Lin replied.
"Then we're equals!" Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly.
"You... you're slick with your words!" Dong Lin was left speechless.
On the surface, as Lin Xiao Tian said, Dong Lin was just an ordinary doctor.
Although he was the son of a major shareholder, within the system of the National Medical Clinic, his actual position was even lower than Xu Qing He's.
"Hmph! Let's see if you can still be so defiant later!" Dong Lin left with a harsh remark and strode away.
After Dong Lin left, Xu Qing He patted Lin Xiao Tian's shoulder.
Lin Xiao Tian knew Xu Qing He was worried about him. Last night, Xu Qing He had specifically warned him that Dong Lin would send someone to investigate him this time.
It was rumored that the person sent would likely be the famous Su Qing Lan.
Xu Qing He was almost frantic, but Lin Xiao Tian, in contrast, seemed unfazed.
"You... I hope nothing really happens to you!" Xu Qing He, valuing his talent, did not want Lin Xiao Tian to be in any trouble.
After Xu Qing He left, Lin Xiao Tian proceeded to the consultation room.
On the way, the other doctors began to discuss.
They had all clearly witnessed the tense exchange between Lin Xiao Tian and Dong Lin just now.
They naturally knew Dong Lin, the infamous second-generation heir of the National Medical Clinic. He lacked skill but was arrogant, and especially petty. Offending Dong Lin in the National Medical Clinic usually meant being swept out the door, unless you were an exceptionally skilled doctor.
When Lin Xiao Tian reached the floor where the consultation rooms were located, he happened to meet Xia Qing Ling.
"Xiao Tian, I..." Xia Qing Ling looked guilty.
If it weren't for her, Lin Xiao Tian wouldn't have offended Dong Lin.
Although she knew Lin Xiao Tian didn't care about the title of doctor at the National Medical Clinic, being kicked out like this was too humiliating.
Lin Xiao Tian smiled slightly, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.
Guo Lin Qing also arrived at this time.
She had just learned about the incident between Lin Xiao Tian and Dong Lin and couldn't help but worry about Lin Xiao Tian.
"I heard Su Qing Lan is coming, it seems this time, things will be troublesome," Guo Lin Qing sighed.
She had worked with Su Qing Lan for a period and naturally knew how formidable the old man was.
If he came specifically to target Lin Xiao Tian, then Lin Xiao Tian would be no match for him.
"What's so troublesome? Isn't it just an inspection? With him, he won't be able to find fault with me."
"You're quite confident!" Guo Lin Qing rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao Tian.
She was worried for him, yet Lin Xiao Tian was joking with her.
After Lin Xiao Tian entered the consultation room, Dong Lin arrived punctually next to Lin Xiao Tian.
Accompanying Dong Lin were several doctors in white coats, clearly all brought by Dong Lin this time to deal with Lin Xiao Tian.
"You must be Lin Xiao Tian? Don't worry, our inspection team will approach the matter objectively and fairly. You don't need to have any psychological burden," said a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
Lin Xiao Tian knew this person. Xu Qing He had mentioned him; he was a well-known psychologist at the National Medical Clinic named He Feng, who specialized in difficult-to-treat mental illnesses.
At the same time, this person was also Dong Lin's golden henchman, present in almost all of Dong Lin's troublemaking incidents.
This time was no exception. He Feng appeared friendly, but his first sentence had already subtly put Lin Xiao Tian under pressure.
If Lin Xiao Tian were just an ordinary doctor, he would probably be starting to get nervous by now.
Furthermore, He Feng's first sentence stated he was here to address problems, implying that Lin Xiao Tian had problems, didn't he?
Lin Xiao Tian smiled, unfazed by He Feng.
In the face of absolute strength, these minor tactics were, in Lin Xiao Tian's eyes, laughable.
After arranging seats for the group, Lin Xiao Tian began his day's work.
At this moment, He Feng, sitting beside him, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Why so calm? It seems this Lin Xiao Tian has some skills!" He Feng muttered to himself.
He was confident that any doctor hearing his words would feel a hint of unease.
He was skilled at observing micro-expressions; any slight sign of unease was difficult to hide from him.
But what he saw on Lin Xiao Tian was not unease, only calmness.
Could it be that Lin Xiao Tian truly had skills?
Looking at the young Lin Xiao Tian, He Feng couldn't believe it.
Before long, a patient walked in.
This was a gout patient. The condition had plagued him for many years. Coupled with his habit of drinking alcohol, his gout attacks recurred repeatedly.
"Divine Doctor Lin, please examine me. The pain is unbearable!" the patient said with a pained expression.
Lin Xiao Tian glanced at the patient and then began to take his pulse.
At this moment, He Feng suddenly took out a notebook and began to write ostentatiously, all while observing Lin Xiao Tian's diagnostic process.
This action even made the patient a little nervous.
This was another psychological maneuver by He Feng. He wanted to pressure Lin Xiao Tian, making it easier for Lin Xiao Tian to make mistakes.
Familiar tactics, familiar methods.
Dong Lin, watching He Feng's actions, couldn't help but praise him inwardly. As expected, He Feng never disappointed him.
Would Lin Xiao Tian be affected by this?
Dong Lin subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiao Tian.
To his surprise, Lin Xiao Tian showed no reaction at all.
Before long, Lin Xiao Tian provided a treatment plan.
"I will first perform acupuncture on you and then prescribe a few doses of medicine. As long as you persist in taking it, you should recover quickly. However, the root of this illness lies in your dietary habits; you must remember to change them."
The patient nodded repeatedly at Lin Xiao Tian's instructions. Lin Xiao Tian wasn't sure if he had truly understood, but since he had come, he had to be responsible for curing him.
"Please remove your upper garment, I need to perform acupuncture."
The patient nodded and cooperatively unbuttoned his shirt.
Lin Xiao Tian held his breath and began to channel his technique.
At this moment, He Feng deliberately turned a page, intending to disrupt Lin Xiao Tian.
Just as he was secretly pleased with his action, a gasp suddenly came from beside him.
"This technique... amazing!"
"No, more than amazing, this method, is it 'Golden Needle Crossing Points'?"
"What?" He Feng was stunned.
Had so much happened in the split second he lowered his head?
