Chapter 267: Chapter 256: If someone else said this, I wouldn’t believe it, but if you said it, I do!
Sun Yifei happened to run into an old friend, feeling quite cheerful, he said, "Not only have I met him, but we also worked together for a long time. I was a subordinate under Commander Xiao!" Encountering Xiao Lin made Sun Yifei very happy, completely different from the serious demeanor he showed when he first came in.
"Academician Sun, you’re being too modest!" Xiao Lin quickly waved his hand, not trying to exaggerate. Although what Sun Yifei said was true, they had worked together for a period, and during that time, Sun Yifei indeed was his subordinate. "We all serve the people, there’s no need to differentiate between superiors and subordinates!"
However, when others heard this, they were a bit stunned, looking unbelievably at Xiao Lin, that excessively young doctor. Normally, ordinary people would only obtain a medical license around twenty-six or twenty-seven, and abroad obtaining a medical license before thirty is common. Yet now, looking at Xiao Lin, at most he seemed twenty-two or twenty-three, just a graduate from school, yet he was so familiar with Sun Yifei and earned his respect, yes, respect.
After all, Sun Yifei was the director of the affiliated hospital of Yan University, a cadre of the full deputy level, who had received national and international honors. It was absolutely impossible to respect someone just because of their family background. It was clear that Sun Yifei genuinely respected Xiao Lin. What virtues or abilities did Xiao Lin possess to earn respect from someone of Sun Yifei’s stature?
The usually aloof and unsmiling director was now showing such respect to a doctor who was excessively young. Why was this?
"If someone else said this, I wouldn’t believe it, but if it’s you saying it, I do believe it!" Sun Yifei said earnestly.
"..." Xiao Lin originally wanted to be modest, but he didn’t expect Sun Yifei to acknowledge it so seriously, which seemed a bit arrogant and conceited, so he quickly said, "With Academician Sun saying this, it leaves me speechless. Admitting it feels like boasting, but denying it seems like I’m at a disadvantage!"
This string of witty remarks amused Sun Yifei, making him laugh heartily. "Commander Xiao, how come you didn’t give me a call when you came here?"
"No, Academician Sun, just call me Xiao Xiao, the title of Commander is too much!" Xiao Lin quickly said. Hearing Sun Yifei mention the purpose of his visit here, he suddenly remembered the argument with Liang Tianze earlier and immediately said seriously, "Academician Sun, if you don’t mention it, I almost forgot. How do you plan to handle this matter?" After speaking, he glanced at Liang Tianze and the others.
It was only then that Sun Yifei remembered his own purpose for coming here. He had already made a plan before coming; the expert group represented by Liang Tianze, after all, represented the hospital’s interests and honor. Chen Feng’s entanglement with Liang Tianze in this matter was something Sun Yifei didn’t like, especially since Liang Tianze had downplayed anything unfavorable to himself during his statements.
But now, it unexpectedly involved Xiao Lin, the once young commander who led an unprecedented battle against a virus. The scenes from four years ago were still vivid. This commander’s miracle and dedication didn’t seek any repayment, leaving all the glory of victory to the expert task force at that time, while he retreated into obscurity.
Regarding Xiao Lin’s medical capability, Sun Yifei understood it the best. The leading figures in Huaxia’s medical field all adhered to Xiao Lin’s words, greatly praising his hands-on skills in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. How could Sun Yifei dare to ignore his opinion?
"What’s President Xiao’s suggestion?" Sun Yifei asked in return.
"Follow my treatment plan, and I guarantee that the patient will fully meet the conditions for a kidney transplant in a month. As long as the surgery is conducted correctly, there will be no danger!" Xiao Lin said seriously.
"Alright, let’s go with your plan!" Sun Yifei replied quickly, having received a definitive answer from Xiao Lin. If Xiao Lin’s medical skill can’t be trusted, then who can?
"Director, but..." Elder Qin started to argue, but was directly interrupted by Sun Yifei: "Elder Qin, I understand your concerns, but having worked with President Xiao, I know his medical skills. You’re versed in traditional Chinese medicine; you should know about the Kowloon Needle Technique, right?"
"Kowloon Needle Technique? What Kowloon..." Elder Qin widened his eyes, looked up and down at Xiao Lin in disbelief, swallowed, and asked, "Kowloon Needle Technique? The Divine Art from the Inner Canon of Huangdi? The Kowloon Needle Technique that’s been lost for hundreds of years?" As one of the prominent figures in traditional Chinese medicine, Elder Qin naturally had heard about the Kowloon Needle Technique and its wonders, but couldn’t believe anyone in the world could perform such a miraculous acupuncture technique.
"Yes, it’s the Kowloon Needle Technique from the Inner Canon of Huangdi, using it to restore the vital energy in Dan Qing’s body, and then enhancing her body’s immunity with dietary therapy, thereby reaching the basic standard for surgery, without problems occurring during the kidney transplant!" Xiao Lin said very seriously.
"If you can indeed perform the Kowloon Needle Technique, then I agree with your treatment plan, but I must confirm that you can perform the Kowloon Needle Technique!" Elder Qin responded responsibly, not blindly believing just because of Sun Yifei or Xiao Lin’s words, wanting to witness it himself to be assured.
"This naturally isn’t difficult. How about Elder Qin experiencing it firsthand? I have noticed Elder Qin probably hasn’t been sleeping well recently, and even though you have tried some health-preserving methods, they don’t seem very effective. From what I see, it’s due to excessive exhaustion recently, disrupting the balance of your body, coupled with your age leading to far lower recovery ability, which is why you haven’t been sleeping well!" Xiao Lin said after briefly assessing Elder Qin.
Elder Qin felt a bit appreciative now, able to diagnose his condition so quickly, it’s clear this person wasn’t simple. On top of Sun Yifei’s foundation of trust, Elder Qin added a bit more faith, contrasting his earlier anger, it was like night and day. Since Xiao Lin had already gained Sun Yifei’s recognition, and for someone like Sun Yifei to respect Xiao Lin so much, Elder Qin, even with his seniority, had to moderate his posture.
"Not bad, I wonder how Dr. Xiao would like to treat me?"
"Fetch me a box of silver needles!" Xiao Lin turned to Zhang Wanyue and smiled. He knew this nurse; she was one of the duty nurses in Dan Qing’s ward.
There was a set of silver needles in Dan Qing’s ward. Zhang Wanyue went into the ward and quickly brought the silver needles to Xiao Lin.
Elder Qin sat upright, and Xiao Lin inserted the sterilized silver needles into the acupoints of Elder Qin’s limbs.
Elder Qin was quite surprised. He had used acupuncture before, though it wasn’t his specialty, he did know that the acupoints in the limbs mainly promote tranquility and calmness. He had undergone acupuncture before and hadn’t seen much effect.
"I’ve tried this acupoint, and it doesn’t work!" Elder Qin said, starting to doubt Xiao Lin’s competence. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
