This Doctor Is Too Wealthy-Chapter 197 Everyone is shocked
The young students were all chattering, voicing their opinions, but they failed to notice that the usually easy-going Mr. Li was slowly becoming expressionless. ππ£πππ°πππ§πΌπππ.π°π¨π¦
BANG!
The newspaper was slapped hard onto the table. The chattering stopped instantly, and everyone looked at Li Jianwei in astonishment.
Whatβs going on?
Mr. Li had always been an easy-going person. Even during exams, if students couldnβt answer or answered incorrectly, he would patiently explain things to them and rarely lost his temper. He would only put on a stern face and use harsh words for fundamental errors.
But now, they were just discussing the newspaper, this "Divine Doctor." What was the problem?
The room fell into a dead silence.
Li Jianwei was somewhat disappointed. He used to think his current students were decent. However, since getting to know Du Heng and learning more about him from Xu Pinglin, he now felt there was a significant gap between his students and Du Heng. Listening to their arrogant words now angered him even more.
"Youβve criticized this doctor as if heβs worthless," Li Jianwei said coldly. "Let me ask you, have you even read this report? Do you know who the person in this report is? Do you know what he has done?"
The students exchanged glances. The one who usually performed the best, who was considered their senior, stepped forward. "Sir, did we say something wrong?"
"Wrong?" Li Jianwei sneered, slapping the newspaper in his hand again. "The doctor in this article is named Du Heng. He graduated from our school seven years ago. Heβs your alumnus."
Seven years ago? An alumnus? A Divine Doctor? Isnβt that a bit much? And from our own school? Even if he is, how old could he be? Thirty at the absolute most, right? How could he be a Divine Doctor? With such a grand title, wasnβt he afraid of being crushed by it?
The students all stared at Li Jianwei. The flickering in their eyes clearly showed their disbelief. Li Jianwei felt that if he werenβt their mentor, they might have burst out laughing and pointed at him, accusing him of spouting nonsense.
Suddenly, Li Jianwei lost the desire to be angry. He pushed the newspaper towards them. "Take a look first. We can talk after youβve read it."
The students swarmed over, heads pressed together, jostling for a view. Helplessly, the senior who had grabbed the newspaper could only read it aloud softly so everyone could hear.
As more of the article was read, the astonishment on their faces grew more pronounced.
Never mind the talk about disease records and actual patientsβwhich newspaper or radio station didnβt hype things up like that? But his two official positions, being Dean of a Health Clinic and an in-system employee, were enough to make their jaws drop. With such credentials, what kind of fool would boast about being a Divine Doctor? Especially since he was already a Dean, with status and positionβwouldnβt it be better to just earn money peacefully?
When the article was finished, the students looked at each other, their eyes filled with awkwardness and disbelief.
Twenty-eight years old! He was only three or four years older than most of them; some were even the same age as this alumnus.
At this point, everyone turned to their senior. "Senior, do you know this alumnus?"
The senior scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. "No, I donβt. I had to resume my studies for two years, and then it took me another two years to pass the postgraduate entrance exam. We werenβt in the same cohort."
"OH~~"
This made the senior feel even more awkward.
Li Jianwei tapped lightly on the table. When all the students looked at him, he asked, "Alright, youβve read it. What are your thoughts?"
"Teacher, is this real?"
Li Jianwei glanced around at his students and nodded slightly. "Itβs real. Iβve met him. Iβve even worked with him on a consultation for a patient. And actually, you all know him too."
"We know him too?" The students looked at each other, confusion in their eyes. Thatβs impossible. If heβs such a prominent figure, weβd definitely remember him.
Everyone murmured in agreement, nodding.
Li Jianwei sighed. The incident where heβd botched a prescription for a gastric ptosis patient from the Gastroenterology Department was embarrassing, but since everyone knew about it, he didnβt try to hide it and recounted it truthfully. "Do you remember back in May, when the Department of Digestive asked me for a consultation for a gastropathy patient?"
The students nodded. They didnβt understand why Li Jianwei would bring up such a humiliating event.
Ignoring their confusion, Li Jianwei continued, "You know what happened then, so I wonβt go into details. But you also heard what happened afterwards: Deputy Director Xu invited a young doctor from outside, and he cured the patient with a single prescription. That young doctor was Du Heng."
What? Is this for real? I thought this supposed master just appeared out of nowhere!
Seeing the students whispering to each other in disbelief, Li Jianwei stood up to leave. As he left, he added one last remark, "Doctor Du only has a bachelorβs degree. He never had a mentor."
He wanted these students to understand that thereβs always someone better, always a higher mountain to climb.
After leaving the office and glancing at the quiet ward, he turned and headed upstairs. He needed to talk to Xu Pinglin.
Du Heng was unaware of these events. After freshening up, he and Wu Buwei hurried to the restaurant.
When they arrived, they found mostly family members, along with colleagues and leaders from their workplace. A boisterous crowd filled three or four tables.
However, among Zhangβs guests, few of the Big Leaders were present, and the schoolβs Principal was also absent.
Du Heng understood perfectly. It wasnβt that these people didnβt want to come; they genuinely didnβt have the time or the inclination. The school had just dealt with a mass food poisoning incident. He heard that after he left yesterday, the Principal had been summoned to the Education Bureau and was likely still busy with other departments today.
As for the Township Government officials, their situation was even worse. They couldnβt shirk responsibility for the studentsβ food poisoning. On top of that, the toilet renovations in Wangjiazui had them extremely agitated.
Ignoring them, Du Heng and Wu Buwei found a place to sit.
Zhangβs and Mr. Zhaoβs two children were busy greeting the guests, both beaming with joy. It seemed they were quite happy about their parents getting together.
However, there was no place set up for recording gifts today; they were truly just inviting everyone for a meal to witness their union.
Wu Buwei had to run out again to specifically buy two Red Envelopes. After writing their names on the corners, he presented them to the older newlyweds.
Seeing Du Heng, Mr. Zhao looked a bit shy. Thanks to years of physical training, he didnβt look like a man of 50 at all, more like someone in his early 40s.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhao and Zhang, on your happy union," Du Heng said, handing a Red Envelope to Zhang.
Mr. Zhao tried to refuse. "Oh, come on. We just wanted to invite everyone for a meal, to be witnesses. Weβre not planning on accepting gifts. Take it back, quickly. We canβt accept this."
"Mr. Zhao, this is just a small token from me, your student. Itβs not much, but you must accept it. With so many people here, letβs not make a scene by pushing it back and forth," Du Heng insisted, gently pushing the Red Envelope that Zhang had tried to return back into her hands.
"Well then, thank you, President Du."
"Mr. Zhao, please, just call me by my name. If word got out that youβre calling me President Du, our old classmates would surely give me a hard time," Du Heng said with a smile. "Mr. Zhao, Zhang, I actually have some things to take care of at the hospital, and Iβm on duty tonight, so I should get going."
"Stay a little longer! Youβve barely touched your food."
But Du Heng didnβt linger. He had promised Yu Haiting he would return early. After all, Yu Haiting was celebrating his wifeβs birthday, and it would be impolite to arrive too late.
