Perspective Medical Genius Young Master

"Alright, Mr. Hu, I’ll drive over from the hospital now." Xiao Yifei hung up the phone, asked the director for leave, though asking for leave as a doctor nowadays is quite difficult. Unless there’s an unavoidable reason for leave. For example, if you’re truly unwell and can’t hold on, or if something important happens at home.

Generally, the director wouldn’t grant leave easily, but when you mention you’re going to visit an old master, the director didn’t hesitate at all and allowed Xiao Yifei to go. The director even said at last, "He’s a wonderful doctor, you should learn from him well."

Seeing the director’s demeanor, Xiao Yifei felt he probably admired or revered Hu Jingtang as well. Xiao Yifei thought so too; such an amazing old Chinese medicine doctor just inexplicably became friends with him. Xiao Yifei thought he was quite lucky.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yifei felt it was truly fortunate. Even if so many people disregarded him, and Zheng Peng and Sun Xingyao tried every possible way to frame him, if it meant getting to know an excellent Chinese medicine doctor, Xiao Yifei thought it was still worthwhile.

He had a feeling that Mr. Hu would definitely be able to help him. Hu Jingtang’s home was in an old district. As Xiao Yifei drove into the area, he felt like he was going back to his childhood, as if returning to his childhood home. His grandmother sat on a rattan chair in the yard, basking in the sun, a lazy big cat sprawled at her feet. It seemed that as soon as he entered the door, his grandmother would get up from the deck chair to fetch some snacks for him from inside the house.

If only one could truly return to childhood, how wonderful that would be. When he was little, Xiao Yifei longed every day to grow up. He thought the small town he lived in was too tiny back then. He wanted to reach out to more distant and bigger places. Occasionally, when he went to bigger cities with his grandmother, watching the endless flow of cars and looking at the array of toys in big malls, he particularly wished he could have been born in, and grown up in, such a city.

Later, the wish finally came true, but Xiao Yifei was no longer the same person he was before. Now, she intensely wished for a time machine in this world, to return to a carefree childhood, to a childhood accompanied by grandparents.

Maybe people are like this, never knowing to cherish what they have, always feeling life isn’t good enough. As children, yearning to grow up, and as adults, wanting to return to a carefree childhood.

Finally, he arrived at Mr. Hu Jingtang’s house, bringing his thoughts back to reality. Xiao Yifei realized that he was quite prone to daydreaming, often reminiscing about past events while walking on the road.

Walking into the yard, Xiao Yifei saw Hu Jintang through a window, and went straight inside. Hearing someone coming in, Hu put down the teacup in his hand and came out to greet him. noveldrama

"Mr. Hu, I’ve come to discuss something very important with you this time. It’s still about the matter I mentioned last time. It’s been several days, and I still haven’t thought of a good solution. So I hope you can help me come up with an idea." He sat on the sofa and said sincerely to Hu Jingtang.

"Regarding the matter you mentioned before, I’ve thought it over these past two days, and I have an idea, though I’m not sure if it’s feasible," said Hu Jintang.

"Isn’t your entire hospital researching a cure for this virus? And there hasn’t been any progress yet? You could pretend you’ve discovered the cure, then pretend your formula got stolen. You know what to do after that, right?" said Hu Jingtang.

Listening to this, Su Ling thought it made quite a bit of sense. How had he not come up with such a good idea? Su Ling thought, perhaps lately, his mind hasn’t been working well, probably due to exhaustion. When a person’s quality of sleep declines, so does their IQ.

"Wow, Mr. Hu, I really think your idea can work. How come I didn’t think of it? It seems like I should consult with you more often in the future," said Xiao Yifei delightedly. He had a strong premonition that Mr. Hu would certainly help him when he came, and indeed, he could.

"Of course, I’ve eaten decades more than you. There’s a saying that ’the older the ginger, the spicier it is,’ so as long as you find my advice helpful, I’m glad to assist. I pondered over this for several days before coming up with this idea," Hu Jintang said proudly.

"The further developments will depend on the actions of Zheng Peng and Sun Xingyao. I certainly won’t let them off easily this time," said Xiao Yifei, gritting his teeth whenever mentioning Sun Xingyao and Zheng Peng.

Xiao Yifei and Mr. Hu then chatted about other things. Mr. Hu finally said, "I’ve always wanted to tell you something; it might not sound pleasant, but I still have to say it. Xiao Yifei, I think as a person, you have a great character, no doubt about it. You excel in many aspects. However, as a person, you can’t be too upright. There’s an old Chinese saying, ’if water is too clear, there’ll be no fish; if a person is too critical, they’ll have no friends.’

"So, one should be a bit savvy at the appropriate time. You’re currently just an associate director at an ordinary hospital, facing not-so-complex interpersonal relations. But I can see that your life’s achievements will definitely not stop here. Your path ahead is still far. When you eventually become a director, or climb even higher to places like the Ministry of Health, your interpersonal relationships will become far more complex than they are now."

"If you want your future life to be smoother, you should adjust yourself a bit. Moreover, since childhood, we’ve been told to be kind. But I believe you also understand that in working in society, mere kindness is not enough. Being kind once and forgiving him, yet he repeatedly schemes against you in return, means you must learn to retaliate appropriately."

"I’m just wishing for your future path to be smoother by telling you all this," Hu Jinhang said, then took a big sip of tea from the table.

"Ah, getting old is really not easy. Haven’t talked much, yet got thirsty already."

"Mr. Hu, what you’ve taught is indeed correct. I know you mean well for me, and I am already aware of these issues myself. I’ve attempted to change several times, but every time I encounter such situations, my heart softens, making it hard for me to be harsh to others, even to those who have wronged me," he muttered, feeling a bit troubled upon hearing Mr. Hu mentioning this issue.

"I’ll definitely change regarding these issues in the future, and I’m truly grateful for you mentioning it. Ever since I left home, it’s been a long time since anyone from the elder generation talked to me like this, so hearing it from you makes me really happy," said Xiao Yifei sincerely.
