Doctor: I Can Synthesize Infinite Entries

Chapter 233: Chapter 195: A Group Visit from the Leaders, Wu Ting’s Terrifying Network

”Exactly. Wu Ting’s family isn’t short on money. He may not be super-rich like President Huang or have a smooth-sailing official career like Director Shou. But what’s wrong with being a regular doctor, working steadily, and being happy with what you have? Why get caught up in the rat race?”

”Yeah, really. It’s a class reunion. We should just be catching up.”

A few other classmates also spoke up. In fact, most of them were rather put off by Huang Jiabing’s attitude. In contrast, Wu Ting’s principled, ethical, and diligent approach to his work—not begging for favors or getting caught up in the rat race—was what they considered the normal life of an ordinary person.

Hearing everyone say this, Huang Jiabing felt a mix of shame and anger, realizing he had gone a bit too far.

But he was just trying to suck up to Huang Haibing. Now that he’d been put on the spot, he was in a difficult position.

Shou Haibing, being a career official after all, felt that if this continued, it would damage his image and reputation.

After all, Fan City was a small place. There might be some unexpectedly influential people among their classmates. If he handled today’s situation poorly and became the subject of gossip, it could affect his political career.

”Jiabing, there’s no need for that. No need.”

”We’re all old classmates. Wu Ting has his work obligations. We all understand, we all understand.”

”Old Class President, listen to you. I just meant well. If Wu Ting needs anything, I can put in a good word for him.”

”I didn’t mean anything else by it.”

”Wu Ting, you just stick to your drink. Jiabing, Old Class President, everyone... I’d like to propose a toast... Being able to gather here today is all about reliving our school days...”

Shou Haibing did have some self-restraint, after all. Even though he was already quite annoyed on the inside, he still had to maintain appearances.

Seeing Shou Haibing’s gesture, Huang Jiabing immediately picked up his glass.

”Wu Ting, my bad. We’re all classmates. Director Shou is right. We’re just here to reminisce about our school days.”

Just as Huang Jiabing finished speaking, Wu Ting’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw it was a call from Director Li. Wu Ting was a little surprised. ’Could there be a complication with Li Ai’s surgery?’

Wu Ting clinked his glass with his old classmates and took a sip.

”Excuse me, I have to take this call.”

After all, it was a call from Director Li. Wu Ting walked to a corner to answer it.

Huang Jiabing watched Wu Ting, saying nothing out loud but feeling contemptuous inside.

’What important business could a minor doctor like you have? If the class president hadn’t stepped in and Director Shou hadn’t cared about the big picture, I would’ve taught you a lesson.’

’On call twenty-four hours a day? You’re just a junior doctor, not some department head or a key physician. If something really happened, could they actually count on you?’

Shou Haibing said nothing, but as he glanced at Wu Ting in the corner, he had already made his judgment. ’A person with no emotional intelligence or perception like him will never amount to anything in this life.’

While Wu Ting was on the phone, Shou Haibing, Chai Ming, and the others resumed their conversation. However, it was obvious that they were now intentionally ignoring Wu Ting, treating him as if he were invisible.

A moment later, Wu Ting returned to his seat. Shou Haibing, Huang Jiabing, and the others continued chatting without even glancing at him.

Wu Ting didn’t mind, but he was a bit puzzled.

’I can understand Director Li calling to say hello. But who are this Director Ding and Director Huang? I don’t know them at all.’

Still, as a doctor, Wu Ting guessed that perhaps a relative or friend of this Director Huang had gotten sick and sought him out for treatment, so he was also calling specifically to thank him.

Speaking of which, Wu Ting’s professional network was actually quite formidable now. His Xunxin contacts list was filled with top figures from major hospitals all over Jin Country.

He had Professor Ma Mengchao from Qinghe City’s Union Hospital, Dean Liu Rong from Qinghe City General Hospital, Professor Jin Yu from the Xianglin City Xuanshang University Affiliated Hospital, and Dean Chen from the Oncology Hospital—and that wasn’t even counting his connections at Lin Province Pinfan Hospital and in Haijin Port.

In certain fields, he himself was already top-tier in the country. To be honest, when it came to these officials seeking him out for surgery, Wu Ting was completely self-assured.

For just anyone without a good connection, he really wouldn’t take their case.

As Wu Ting continued to listen to his classmates’ chatter, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, someone knocked on the private room’s door.

Chai Ming and the others were surprised, wondering who could be visiting at this time.

”Come in.”

As the organizer, Chai Ming naturally took charge.

The door to the private room creaked open, and three people with distinguished bearings entered.

They were all from Fan City, and many came from families with some background, so they had a certain degree of discernment.

Most were unfamiliar with Li Qing, but a few of them recognized Ding Han and Huang Yangming.

This was especially true for Huang Jiabing and Shou Haibing.

Shou Haibing sobered up instantly. This was the deputy director of his bureau, his own superior.

Huang Jiabing also jolted. He was very familiar with Huang Yangming, the newly appointed deputy chief of the police department. As for Director Ding, he had admired him from afar for even longer but had lamented having no way to get an introduction.

”Director Ding, what brings you here?”

Shou Haibing’s reaction was extremely fast; he shot to his feet.

Ding Han hadn’t expected to find someone from his own bureau here. He had a vague impression of the young man, Shou Haibing.

However, Ding Han had no time to bother with his subordinate’s subordinate at the moment.

Li Qing waved at Wu Ting:

”Dr. Wu, we meet again. Sorry to show up uninvited. I hope we’re not interrupting your class reunion.”

Huang Yangming, who was also quite familiar with Wu Ting, followed up enthusiastically:

”Dr. Wu, I haven’t had a chance to thank you properly since we last saw each other. I’m having dinner with Director Li and Director Ding today, so I thought I’d stop by and say hello.”
