Chapter 204 The Phone Was Ringing Off the Charts (Bonus Chapter by Alliance Leader Deng Chaohong x4)

Zhao Xiangming is fishing.

He's a true angler; he arrives as early as 3 a.m. on weekends, otherwise he can't get a good spot at all.

Many people don't understand why anglers are so obsessed with fishing, and Zhao Xiangming is too lazy to explain.

This afternoon, Zhao Xiangming received a phone call asking if Ji Xiang was from the Second Affiliated Hospital and whether he knew him.

At first, Zhao Xiangming was quite moved, with a touch of envy and jealousy mixed in with his feelings.

Ji Xiang is having a meeting in Shanghai. Qin Chu must have told the people in the academic circle that he was going to take on a young apprentice. It was so formal that everyone was very surprised.

"I'm so envious!" Zhao Xiangming thought, feeling a little jealous.

However, the other party spoke hesitantly, seemingly in a state of emotional turmoil, and hung up after a few words.

Zhao Xiangming became clueless and very unhappy.

Fishing no longer seemed to have lost its former joy; Zhao Xiangming's mind was filled with thoughts of that young man who performed the surgery flawlessly.

Soon, he received several more phone calls.

He didn't know the people who called; they were all local directors who happened to sit together when he went to Beijing to attend academic conferences, exchanged WeChat contacts, and were added to each other's academic groups.

They inquired about the background and educational background of the young man Qin Chu had recently taken a liking to.

Zhao Xiangming found it strange. Logically speaking, even if Qin Chu took a liking to Ji Xiang at first sight and wanted to take him as his last disciple, it should not have caused such a big commotion.

The last person recounted what he knew in fits and starts, leaving Zhao Xiangming dumbfounded.

Ji Xiang rejected the offers from Qin Chu and Ling Tian, ​​and at the academic conference, he directly retaliated, verbally abusing the renowned interventional physiologist Qin Chu until he fainted.

!

! !

!!!

Zhao Xiangming shouldn't believe such an absurd thing.

Based on Zhao Xiangming's experience, such an exaggerated claim is definitely a rumor, and it's unknown how far the truth will ultimately be deviated from.

But there are some things that Zhao Xiangming has personally experienced.

During that drunken observation of surgery, Zhao Xiangming initially blamed everything on the fact that he had indeed drunk too much, to the point that he cried loudly in the restaurant and was almost scared to death by a junior trainee when he came to the hospital to observe the surgery.

But as time went by, Zhao Xiangming still had some doubts every time he thought about it. The seed took root, sprouted, and gradually grew, and Zhao Xiangming could no longer get around it.

He wasn't sure if those absurd feelings were real, and he thought they were just hallucinations.

But when he connected this with what the directors of other hospitals in the south had said today, Zhao Xiangming had a strange feeling—that Ji Xiang was capable of doing such a thing.

Weird.

Zhao Xiangming couldn't understand why he would abandon being Boss Qin's trusted disciple and insist on causing trouble.

As his enthusiasm for fishing gradually faded, Zhao Xiangming stared absentmindedly at the float, his mind wandering.

The phone rang again.

Zhao Xiangming paused for a few seconds before picking up his phone and glancing at it; it was Director Liu.

Upon answering the phone, Director Liu asked urgently, "Old Zhao, what exactly happened at the association we've been involved in?"

"What happened?" Zhao Xiangming subconsciously repeated Director Liu's words.

"Yes, my phone has been ringing off the hook today!" Director Liu said. "The heads of urology departments at several hospitals in Shanghai, people who used to not even give me a second glance when I approached them, actually called me today and even added me to their group chats."

"Huh? Speak slowly."

Zhao Xiangming couldn't understand Director Liu's rapid-fire words at all; his mind was filled with the memory of Ji Xiang scolding Qin Chu until he passed out.

It was supposed to be that Qin Chu was going to give the new student a beating to show his authority, but Ji Xiang couldn't stand it and ended up knocking Qin Chu unconscious.

That makes perfect sense.

He felt a pang of regret, not understanding what Director Liu meant.

Director Liu paused for a moment, but he didn't continue to explain. Instead, he invited Zhao Xiangming to sit down at a German beer hall.

Zhao Xiangming had no desire to continue fishing, so he packed up his gear and drove to the beer house.

This beer house is owned by the nephew of the head of the ultrasound department. Many people are willing to give the head of the ultrasound department face by holding small gatherings here.

Although it's expensive, it's quiet and peaceful.

When Zhao Xiangming arrived, Director Liu was already there, typing away on his phone, word by word.

"Director Liu, what are you busy with?" Zhao Xiangming asked.

"Old Zhao, several urology department directors from hospitals in Shanghai contacted me today. At first, I thought they were scammers," Director Liu said. "But..."

"What was the result?"

"They said it was hard to explain over the phone, so they added me on WeChat and created a group chat, bringing in your interventional department director."

"!!!"

Zhao Xiangming became increasingly certain that something big had happened in Shanghai.

"Wasn't it said that Boss Qin was going to take Ji Xiang as his last disciple? But at today's academic conference, Ji Xiang directly confronted Ling Tian and Boss Qin, and ended up scolding Boss Qin until he passed out."

"I've heard about it too, but I think it's just that Xiao Ji is young and impetuous, and he knocked Boss Qin unconscious," Zhao Xiangming said helplessly. "You know, young people are really unreliable. It's normal for a new employee to get scolded and beaten by the boss as a form of discipline. But..."

As he spoke, Zhao Xiangming spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

"Is that so? Let me ask." Director Liu quickly lowered his head and began typing clumsily again.

Seeing how clumsy Director Liu was at typing, Zhao Xiangming wanted to go over and help, but Director Liu simply blocked the phone, his caution ingrained to the core.

"Director Liu, you've done too many bad things and been caught before, haven't you?" Zhao Xiangming laughed.

"Privacy, do you even know what privacy means?" Director Liu said dismissively, but he didn't look up. He was still staring at his phone, sending messages in a serious manner, while constantly glancing at Zhao Xiangming's every move out of the corner of his eye.

Five minutes later, Director Liu finally looked up and said very seriously, "Director Zhao, you're wrong. A director from Shanghai attended a conference this morning, and he said he was..."

Zhao Xiangming listened intently for Director Liu to speak, but Director Liu suddenly stopped, his expression strange.

"Director Liu, what happened?"

After a few seconds of pause, Director Liu said in a hoarse voice, "He said he didn't know what happened, but Boss Qin tried to suppress Ji Xiang academically, but Ji Xiang turned the tables on him on the spot."

"!!!"

Zhao Xiangming never expected this to be possible.

The combination of academic, suppression, and counterattack, especially when applied to Ji Xiang, was completely incomprehensible to Zhao Xiangming.

That's an academic conference; any conflict there could be a life-or-death situation! Ji Xiang might be good at surgery, but his academic achievements are definitely lacking.

Let alone Ji Xiang, even if it were me, I would be instantly reduced to ashes and crushed into dust.

Can Ji Xiang turn the tables?

Why should I?!
