Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 331: People Who Can Be Used (Subscription Requested)


Pushing the door open, Ren Jianzhong first stomped his feet to shake off some mud and snow clinging to his shoes before giving his coat a shake to dislodge the snowflakes. Only then did he take a look around.

This was a small restaurant with four or five tables, arranged in a manner that was quite tidy, elegant, and warm. Inside the restaurant, there was only a lonely old man holding a cup of hot tea, sitting in a corner.

Ren Jianzhong walked over with big strides and sat directly across from the old man, mocking, "Former Director Hu, although your reputation is tarnished, it's not as if everyone wants to see you dead. Is there really a need to invite me to such a backwater place where cars can't even park?"

At this moment, an elderly man, around his sixties, came out of the kitchen, carrying a cup of hot tea.

The elderly man gently placed the tea in front of Ren Jianzhong and then left without a word.

Hu Yitong spoke softly, "The owner of this place was a patient of mine years ago. Every Spring Festival, he would prepare a special meal just for me. In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed."

He glanced at Ren Jianzhong and sighed, "In today's world, people who understand gratitude are becoming fewer and fewer!"

Ren Jianzhong showed a mocking expression and said, "Before you say that, take a look at yourself in the mirror."

"Speaking of Lin Jie, he hasn't done anything wrong to your Hu Family, and he's even helped Hu Yuanqing a lot. Have your actions shown any gratitude?"

Seeing Hu Yitong's face remain unchanged and his eyes show no sign of change, Ren Jianzhong knew that the man's skin had been tempered to the point where it was impervious to any attack.

He stopped wasting words and went straight to the point, "Former Director Hu, you called me out specifically, so please speak directly. I'm not as free as you are now."

Hu Yitong replied coolly, "Now, everyone knows that it was my selfishness that led me to use any means to obstruct him."

"If others knew that your father and you were also involved in this matter, how do you think your father's peers and your colleagues would view this, view you?"

A trace of panic flashed through Ren Jianzhong's eyes but quickly disappeared.

He picked up the hot tea before him, sipped it, and smiled, "My father has already explained to Lin Jie that it was your bewitchment and your promises that led him to vote against."

"Frankly, we're not afraid of your lies. Do you think your words still hold any credibility now?"

Hu Yitong lifted his eyelids, glanced at Ren Jianzhong, and said, "It doesn't matter if others believe or not, as long as Lin Jie does!"

Suddenly, Ren Jianzhong chuckled, "Old Hu, you might have miscalculated on that one."

He pointed at his own nose and continued, "Let me tell you the truth. I've had several direct confrontations with Lin Jie, and I've vowed to him that I'd make sure he doesn't pass the assessment."

Ren Jianzhong looked a bit discouraged and said, "Lin Jie must have guessed my actions, but it's just that he saw us father and son backing down and decided not to dwell on it."

This feeling of being forced to admit defeat and being let off made Ren Jianzhong feel quite suffocated.

"He doesn't hold a grudge now because he hasn't grown enough and lacks the strength. But that doesn't mean he won't hold a grudge in the future!"

Suddenly, a sharp glint emerged from Hu Yitong's somewhat sunken eyes as he stared at Ren Jianzhong and said in a deep voice, "Ren Jianzhong, do you believe that as soon as Lin Jie grows up, you will never have a chance to rise in Binhai City's medical community?"

This was something Ren Jianzhong was well aware of.

His father had clearly told him before that his talent wasn't particularly outstanding, and he could only slowly grind through the ranks for ten to twenty years, eventually becoming a not-so-noted department-level doctor.

Trying to advance further would be impossible with Lin Jie, an invisible mountain, pressing down.

As for going abroad or developing in other cities?

Ren Jianzhong had some self-awareness that losing his father's support might mean he wouldn't fare as well as he did developing in Binhai.

This was all because of Lin Jie!

If it weren't for him, according to his pre-planned life trajectory, he would spend a few years at Limin Hospital, become a deputy chief doctor, then return to the University Affiliated Hospital to gain more experience and become a chief doctor.

Once he became a chief doctor at the University Affiliated Hospital, he could strive for some associations and societal honors, and then work to become a part-time professor at Binhai University Medical School.

By then, Ren Jianzhong would have the qualifications, experience, and honors, and his life choices would become much more enriched.

He could either be hired externally as the head of a hospital and follow a management administrative path, or align towards becoming a medical expert. But regardless of the choice, he would be a respected person with honor, status, and real power.

But now, the future Ren Jianzhong sees is only a life in the cold operating room, working tirelessly through surgery after surgery to earn a living.

Seeing the unwillingness, resentment, and jealousy flash across Ren Jianzhong's face, Hu Yitong tempted, "Someone like Lin Jie, I understand very well; he's an ambitious person. With his so-called skill and courage, he will certainly engage in challenging surgeries from time to time."

"As long as he hasn't gained his medical practice qualification, we have a chance to bring him down."

"Ren Jianzhong, as long as we get solid evidence in this regard..."

Hu Yitong let out a cold laugh and said, "The so-called 'a gaunt camel is still bigger than a horse,' even though I'm not liked by many people anymore, I still have some connections I can use."

"Once we have solid evidence, I can definitely make sure that kid can never practice medicine for the rest of his life."

"A lifetime ban from medical practice, no matter how high his talent is, he can only be slowly forgotten by the world and become just like any other person. By that time, with your father's extensive network, wouldn't you be all-powerful in Binhai City's medical community?"

Gradually, a look of yearning appeared on Ren Jianzhong's face.

If Lin Jie were removed, he would be the director, a famous expert, and have the beautiful women and villas...

Just then, his father's stern face and stern warnings appeared in his mind, like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, jolting him awake and dissipating all the dreams instantly.

Ren Jianzhong slowly stood up from his seat and coldly smiled, "Lin Jie's medical talent is already well-known, and who knows how many people are secretly watching him and protecting him!"

"Dreaming of destroying his medical future at this time? Dream on!"

"Even if we manage to do it, there are no walls in this world impermeable to wind. The retaliation from those people would be enough to shatter us completely."

"You might already have one foot in the grave and don't care, but I still have a long life ahead of me."

The tone of Ren Jianzhong was cold as he said, "Lin Jie calls you the 'old undying,' and he's not wrong. You're trying to take me down with Lin Jie, aren't you? You really have a black heart, trying to drag me down with you!"

"Hmph... Old undying, let this be the end of us. Don't contact me again in the future."

After saying that, he turned and left.

At the door, after pulling it open, he was hit by a blast of cold air, after which he turned back to face Hu Yitong.

"I'll be happy to see Lin Jie fall, even better if his future is cut off, but only if I'm not involved in it. Out of respect for your persistence, I'll give you a lead on someone who might be useful!"

"Who?" Hu Yitong glanced up without any trace of emotion and asked.

"Chen Shi's son, Chen Fanzhi. He sure has quite a grudge against Lin Jie!"
