"If you want to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine, you must start from the basics. TCM is much more difficult than Western medicine, especially for beginners." Li Se was not exaggerating; in fact, the reality was even more daunting. This was precisely why fewer and fewer people were studying TCM nowadays; it was simply too difficult, and by the time one truly mastered it, they would likely be in their late forties or early fifties.
"Doctor Li, I'm not afraid!" Oscar was exceptionally resolute.
"Alright, since you wish to learn, then go to the Ji Shi Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic. I am seeing patients there right now." Li Se naturally did not refuse. After all, having an authority in the Western medicine field like Oscar come to study TCM could be considered a form of development for Chinese Medicine.
"Great!" Oscar nodded repeatedly.
Many of the doctors around were stunned.
"What? Professor Oscar is going to study Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Who is that young man? He can actually make Oscar want to be his disciple, my heavens!"
"You bunch of losers, you don't even recognize Doctor Li?"
"Huh? He's Doctor Li? The Doctor Li who can bring the dead back to life? My goodness, that explains it. This is not surprising at all."
"..."
Many doctors were discussing animatedly. Once they learned of Li Se's identity, they all had an expression of sudden realization, and some even felt that this scene was no longer something to be surprised about.
Li Se's fame in the First Hospital was considerable nowadays. After all, he had made numerous interventions there. Currently, any medical condition that the hospital could not resolve was usually treated by Li Se.
Li Se did not linger in the First Hospital any longer. He drove away directly. While waiting for the traffic light, he considered whether to visit Xia Bingyun.
*Bang!*
Just then, a car rear-ended him, crashing directly into the back of Li Se's Porsche. The impact almost made Li Se's head slam into the steering wheel, but he managed to stabilize himself just in time.
After getting out of the car, Li Se discovered that the vehicle behind him was a Rolls-Royce. Two people, a man and a woman, stepped out of the car.
"Don't you have eyes? You were rolling backward, you know that?" As soon as the woman saw Li Se, she began to curse angrily.
"I was rolling backward?" Li Se was somewhat speechless. If he hadn't been sure that he was waiting at a red light, given the woman's self-righteous demeanor, he might have actually believed he had rolled backward.
"Do you know what kind of car this is? A Rolls-Royce, do you understand? Over ten million yuan. And you, in your shabby Porsche, dare to crash into us? Do you know how much it costs to repair this damage?" The woman continued to berate him.
"Beautiful lady, it was you who rear-ended me, wasn't it?" Li Se said with some displeasure.
"Young Master Wang, he's being mean to me." The woman immediately threw herself into the man's arms and began to act spoiled.
Wang Pengxuan frowned slightly and said angrily, "Apologize to my woman, otherwise, this matter is not over!"
"I apologize?" Li Se was utterly speechless at their attitude. Who exactly rear-ended whom? He chuckled and said, "You rear-ended me. Now you want me to apologize? You guys are really something. You rear-end someone and still have the audacity to be in the right?"
"Rear-ended? Heh, didn't my woman just say you were rolling backward? What, you want to falsely accuse us of rear-ending you? Even if we did rear-end you, so what? Your shabby Porsche would at most cost a hundred thousand yuan for repairs. I can give you this hundred thousand, but you must apologize to my woman!" Wang Pengxuan was clearly not short of money. After all, anyone who could drive a Rolls-Royce worth over ten million yuan wouldn't lack a mere hundred thousand.
This time, it was his woman who wanted to practice driving, so she hadn't brought a driver. She hadn't expected to be rear-ended so soon after setting out, but he didn't care about that; what he cared about was his woman's mood.
"Shouldn't you be the ones apologizing?" Li Se snorted coldly.
"Young Master Wang, look at this guy, he's got quite the nerve to talk to us like this," Pang Nuanmeng huffed.
"You should be the ones apologizing. Look at the car I'm driving, do I look like I'm short of money?" Li Se found these two individuals truly bizarre, truly believing that money could make them do whatever they pleased.
Wang Pengxuan smiled, "We apologize to you? That's laughable. What do you think you are, to make us apologize to you? And is your shabby Porsche that valuable? I have a whole garage full of cars; they're all collecting dust. I'm telling you, you scared my woman just now. You'd better apologize, or I'll make you regret it!"
"Did you hear that? Apologize and then slap yourself!" Pang Nuanmeng said with an air of arrogance. She was originally from an ordinary family, but ever since she started following Wang Pengxuan, her status had completely changed. What was someone driving a Porsche compared to them? In the eyes of the Wang family, they were nothing. In her own eyes, going out without a car worth tens of millions was embarrassing.
"Did you hear that? Slap yourself until my woman is satisfied!" Wang Pengxuan said with a commanding tone.
*Beep beep...*
Just then, the light turned green, and many cars behind them started honking their horns.
"What are you honking for? Honk again, and I'll smash your car!" Wang Pengxuan said angrily.
Although many drivers were very upset, they knew that Wang Pengxuan was not to be trifled with. After all, he drove a Rolls-Royce. They could only detour and leave.
"Kid, have you thought it through? Apologize with a slap, and don't think you're all that just because you drive a Porsche. Your level, perhaps to ordinary people, is impressive, but in my eyes, Wang Pengxuan's eyes, you are nothing. There are levels to wealth, and in my eyes, you are no different from a beggar." Wang Pengxuan said boastfully.
"As expected of Young Master Wang!" Pang Nuanmeng said with a look of infatuation.
Many people by the roadside also recognized Wang Pengxuan, especially his overbearing words. They immediately started acting like infatuated fans.
"Now this is what a wealthy young master looks like."
"I always thought my best friend's boyfriend was rich, but compared to this Young Master Wang, he's not even in the same league. No, when I get back, I have to tell my best friend to break up with her boyfriend. How can she be with such a poor wretch?"
"This kind of rich young master must have quite a few servants at home, right? They all have to call him Young Master?"
"I bet even security guards dating maids would be in a long-distance relationship."
"So domineering!"
"..."
The sounds of infatuated admiration continued incessantly. Many women wished to marry into wealth, and in their eyes, Wang Pengxuan was the epitome of wealth. A young master who considered a Porsche a shabby car, wasn't that the definition of a wealthy family?
Li Se was truly getting annoyed. This eccentric pair was truly challenging his worldview. He said impatiently, "Now, immediately, apologize to me, pay for the damages, and I don't have time to deal with you!"
"Presumptuous!" Pang Nuanmeng shouted angrily, "How dare you speak to Young Master Wang like that? You're incredibly bold!"
"Alright, alright, alright..." Wang Pengxuan was so enraged that he laughed instead. "It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me like this. Kid, I'm telling you, you're finished today, because I'm really, really angry!"
