Healing Doctor

Chapter 415 Unexpected Changes

Director Fan shook hands with Lu Gang, followed by Zhao Zhe.

Who is this person?

Director Fan had prepared himself to be shocked, but fortunately Zhao Zhe just smiled nervously and didn't say a word.

Meeting Ji Xiang and his medical team broadened Director Fan's understanding of the world.

Ji Xiang's height, looks, temperament, and speech were all extremely consistent with the production team's expectations, but the fact that Ji Xiang brought "his own" medical team with him left the production team somewhat at a loss.

"Dr. Ji, we're going to do a live stream tonight, recording the scene of you meeting the guests who just arrived at the hospital to participate in the reality show," said Director Fan's assistant to Ji Xiang.

"Okay." Ji Xiang smiled.

"Yours..."

Director Fan's assistant glanced at Lu Gang and Zhao Zhe.

"I have a provincial science project that I can't delay, so I brought a medical team with me. Didn't Feng Yuqing already tell you about it?" Ji Xiang asked.

When Ji Xiang mentioned the name of the behind-the-scenes boss, his casual tone tinged with an inexplicable contempt, Director Fan's assistant was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Director Fan's assistant replied repeatedly, unsure how to respond.

"What's the next step?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Back to the hotel, arrange check-in."

"Can I go to the hospital to have a check-up first?" Ji Xiang asked.

Director Fan's assistant glanced at Director Fan.

"Dr. Ji, why are you in such a hurry to go to the hospital?"

"Let's familiarize ourselves with the environment to avoid any problems during the recording of the program."

"Then we won't record this part." Director Fan smiled. "Dr. Ji, this medical team is...?"

"I have a project on hand, which I told you about. I originally refused to participate in the reality show, but after negotiations, it was agreed that I might have the surgery done at the First Affiliated Hospital, so I came," Ji Xiang said calmly.

"!!!" Director Fan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling somewhat lost.

Ji Xiang spoke simply and casually, but every word and phrase seemed like a boastful, undisguised Versailles to Director Fan.

After learning more, Director Fan realized how difficult it was to apply for provincial natural science grants.

Ji Xiang seems to be a resident physician, yet he has his own provincial self-taught project, and his team members include department directors from top-tier hospitals in the province. This is simply unimaginable.

Although everyone, including Director Fan, was somewhat at a loss, they were veterans in the entertainment industry and had recorded several reality shows before. They managed to finish recording this segment by relying on muscle memory.

Director Fan breathed a sigh of relief after sending Ji Xiang to the hotel.

"Director Fan, this young man doesn't seem to have any good intentions," Director Fan's assistant whispered.

"Hmm." Director Fan nodded absentmindedly, looking thoughtfully in the direction Ji Xiang had left.

"Judging from his appearance, I wonder how much resources he's used behind the scenes," said Director Fan's assistant. "I'm a little worried now, Director, do you think our program will be ruined?"

"What are you worried about?" Director Fan had a different perspective. He shook his head. "His image and temperament are good, and he's so young yet already leading his own medical team. These are all gimmicks to grab the audience's attention."

"But the head of Dr. Ji's medical team seems arrogant and might not be very obedient."

"It's alright, let's record it and watch it first." Director Fan was also worried about the task that the financial backer had forcibly imposed on him.

Ji Xiang's appearance has caused some problems for the future direction of the entire program, which Director Fan did not expect.

Although he is full of topicality and camera presence, Director Fan can imagine that countless girls will watch this reality show because of Ji Xiang.

but!

This is a variable that is beyond one's control.

This is really a headache.

……

……

Ji Xiang checked into the hotel and declined the staff's offer of company. He then went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University with Lu Gang and Zhao Zhe for a visit.

The Jiangnan region is prosperous, and the hospitals are always crowded, even in the afternoon.

Ji Xiang didn't make a fuss; he was just curious and glanced at the internal structure of the First Affiliated Hospital.

Because he wasn't familiar with the doctors here, Ji Xiang didn't go to the emergency department to help out as he would when accompanying Meng Qingfei on duty.

"Xiao Ji, I have a feeling you have ulterior motives."

After looking around, Lu Gang asked.

"What do you mean by having ill intentions?"

"You've scouted the place first, so what earth-shattering thing are you planning to do? Are you planning to rob the hospital's cashier? Not many people carry cash these days. I've seen an armored truck robbed once before," Lu Gang said.

"No, just checking out the environment. We have some surgeries that need to be performed here. Even though they are all top-tier hospitals, it won't hurt to get familiar with them."

"Xiao Ji, when you go to the production team tomorrow, make sure you don't say too much," Zhao Zhe warned. "The people on the production team are wicked; they'll dig traps for you just to get more views, and you never know how deep those traps will be. If you say something you shouldn't, and it gets trending on social media tomorrow, you'll be cyberbullied."

"When I was in Yuanliao, something similar happened to our head of the medical department. At that time, a patient's family asked him if he didn't want to work anymore, and our head of the medical department tore off his white coat, threw it on the ground, and said, 'I just don't want to work anymore.'"

"As a result, when it appeared on social media, it became that the head of the medical department was going to take off his clothes and beat up a patient's family member, who was female. As a result, public opinion was in an uproar, and there was no way to explain it."

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "I understand, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Zhe was clearly still worried; in his view, the entire production team were bad people. Not just the production team, but who in the entertainment industry is a good person?

He was genuinely worried that Ji Xiang would be scammed.

"Xiao Ji, are you really not taking me tomorrow? I'm worried you might not be able to handle some things," Lu Gang said, stroking his hair with concern.

"It seems the production team won't allow it." Ji Xiang shrugged. "Let me get familiar with it a bit, no rush."

Lu Gang didn't press the matter, but he was a little disappointed.

Although he knew his image didn't fit the image of someone who wanted to be in the limelight, Lu Gang still wanted to "go on TV."

Decades ago, appearing on television was considered a momentous event, a source of great pride and honor. For middle-aged and elderly people like Lu Gang, such an event held a completely different significance than what Ji Xiang perceived.

Ji Xiang didn't offer much explanation; he wasn't very interested in reality shows.

What Ji Xiang wants to do is promote research on interventional and partial resection surgery for kidney cancer.

Even if only a portion of patients come specifically because of his reputation, Ji Xiang believes that his projects will experience explosive growth.

Ji Xiang's understanding of scientific research came from the information he received from the system NPC about the oilfield hospital's research on diabetes, which involved large samples, long-term, and detailed follow-ups.

Therefore, what he did was somewhat out of step with the times.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University, Ji Xiang returned to the hotel to prepare for the "interview" the next day.
