Chapter 412: Becoming a Star

Two days later.

Zhao Zhe held his phone, staring blankly at a promotional poster on it.

"Zhao Yisheng, what are you doing? Get to work." Lu Gang turned his head, saw Zhao Zhe's dazed expression, and said with some displeasure, "There are so many Medical Records; you don't expect me to write them all myself, do you?"

Zhao Zhe still didn't speak.

Lu Gang was even more displeased. Although the old Attending Physician in the Clinical department was experienced, they were also very slippery; all sorts of ways to slack off emerged one after another, and they were all tried and tested in clinical practice.

"Zhao Yisheng, *dong dong dong*~~~ write the Medical Records!" Lu Gang coiled up the single strand of hair on his head that was like a family heirloom, looked at Zhao Zhe sternly, and while tapping the table with his hand, his tone grew a few degrees heavier.

In his view, this slippery old Attending Physician Zhao Zhe was just slacking off.

"Lu Zhuren, look at this..." Zhao Zhe held his phone and turned the screen toward the recording.

"'The Offer of Riding the Wind and Waves'?" Lu Gang glanced at it and said disdainfully, "It's all stuff to trick kids. Why watch that? Hurry up and write the Medical Records. What's the matter, Zhao Zhe, you still want to be a star? Or are you a fan of some young idol?"

"No, no, Lu Zhuren, look at the names below."

"Names?" Lu Gang sensed something wrong from Zhao Zhe's expression and tone. He first lowered his head sharply, flicked his glasses down, moved the phone far away, and let his gaze fall onto the phone screen from above his glasses.

That's the only bad thing about presbyopia; Lu Gang looked carefully at the names below "The Offer of Riding the Wind and Waves."

After the boring names of directors, producers, guests, and so on, the name Ji Xiang appeared prominently.

"!!!"

Lu Gang was stunned all at once.

"It's not easy for a name like Doctor Xiao Ji's to be duplicated," Zhao Zhe said. "When I was in Yuanliao City, there was a Nurse in our operating room who was also named Zhao Zhe. Later, when I went into surgery, they all called me Male Zhao Zhe and called that person Female Zhao Zhe."

"..."

"But in my whole life, I've never seen the name Ji Xiang repeated. Ji is a rare surname to begin with. Not to mention Ji Xiang, I haven't even seen many people with the surname Ji."

"Why is Xiao Ji participating in this kind of trashy show?" Lu Gang re-examined those names, suddenly paused, put Zhao Zhe's phone aside, and picked up his own phone to start searching.

"Lu Zhuren, what are you looking for?" Zhao Zhe asked.

"Strange, quite a few of these names look very familiar," Lu Gang said.

Soon, he found the answer he needed.

Besides a few big names from the entertainment industry as off-site guests, the technical guest was actually Professor Shen, a top Expert from a large Grade A Tertiary Hospital in the Nan Fang!

Lu Gang was surprised that this variety show actually wanted to make something decent.

"Zhao Ge, what are you guys chatting about?" Xu Leyu asked after entering with Lu Kai, laughing and talking.

"It seems Xiao Ji is going to participate in a variety show," Zhao Zhe said, his mind full of confusion. "General Manager Xu, have you heard Xiao Ji mention it?"

"Huh? A variety show? Impossible." Xu Leyu was slightly startled, then said decisively, "Xiao Ji is clear-headed and has his heart set on the Provincial Natural Science Project. Recently, the surgical volume for your Provincial Natural Science Project has been quite high, roughly equivalent to the surgical volume of an Attending Professor."

"Let's not even talk about that, just talk about money. How much money can an amateur get for being on a variety show? Right?"

Zhao Zhe took his phone and handed it to Xu Leyu, "General Manager Xu, take a look."

Xu Leyu saw a name; the special guest was marked in parentheses after the name with which hospital they were from.

Although he didn't know the top-tier national Experts, that hospital was thunderous to the ears and illustrious.

A medical job-seeking show, top-tier Expert judges, plus the name Ji Xiang—all of this gave General Manager Xu a hallucination.

Clearly, his own looks were better; the one who should be participating in the show was him, so how could it be Ji Xiang?

"Young people are still not good enough, their hearts aren't steady," Lu Gang curled his lip and said unhappily. "Keep working on the Provincial Natural Science Project, and later you have to go for the National Natural Science Foundation. Look at Xiao Ji, he's gotten a little bit of success and is already getting carried away."

"Participating in a variety show, planning to become a star in the future? A star, what's the use! Does the energy of a star even compare to the energy of an Academician?"

As for becoming a star, Zhao Zhe didn't feel much about those four words, but Xu Leyu and Lu Kai's eyes lit up.

If one could really become a star, wouldn't that be better than sticking one's butt out for surgery in the hospital? General Manager Xu subconsciously touched his own butt.

He was often in surgery, sticking his butt out to trigger the infrared sensor to open the door, and his butt was getting perkier and perkier, a bit like Captain America.

But even if he were to be a star, he would be the one doing it; Xiao Ji going to be a star... he wasn't as handsome as him.

Xu Leyu thought this way again.

"Lu Zhuren, why don't you ask?" Zhao Zhe instigated.

Lu Gang glared at Zhao Zhe, but didn't mind being used as a tool, and picked up his phone to call Ji Xiang.

"Xiao Ji, we saw a poster for a variety show and saw your name in it. Is it a duplicate name, or are you going to participate in the variety show?" Lu Gang asked in a very unfriendly tone.

"It really is you? What are you thinking! You're only in your twenties, wouldn't it be better to focus on scientific research and doing surgeries! Being a star has no future!"

Upon hearing Ji Xiang's answer, Lu Gang was already furious at his lack of ambition and started yelling at him.

But after Ji Xiang started explaining, Lu Gang's expression flickered constantly.

"That seems to make sense."

"When are we leaving?"

"Good, waiting for your news."

From Lu Gang's words, everyone heard where the problem lay, especially Zhao Zhe; he vaguely guessed something and gave a bitter smile.

"Lu Zhuren, are we going along to carry bags? Or better not. Even if Xiao Ji isn't here, we can still perform surgeries at home and continue to push the scientific research project forward. Although the speed is a bit slow, but..."

Zhao Zhe hadn't finished speaking when his words were interrupted by Lu Gang.

"What are you thinking? Xiao Ji said the condition they offered over there is that we can perform surgeries locally."

"!!!"

"!!!"

Everyone was stunned.

Performing surgeries at a local hospital? What the hell kind of situation is this?

Isn't it just a variety show? Everyone always has to do some strange things for the sake of variety effects.

The production crew and the capital investors can at most persuade the hospital to provide some space, and at most go to the Outpatient Department to see Patients or conduct consultations.

The operating room—is that a place a production crew can just walk into?

Not to mention the uneven quality of the film crew's personnel and whether they can guarantee Aseptic Operation, even if they could, the recorded content would inevitably include some of the Patient's privacy, which absolutely cannot be broadcast.

Crazy, everyone is crazy; even the usually aloof Lu Gang has gone crazy, Zhao Zhe stared blankly at Lu Gang, his eyes filled with countless confusion.

"Xiao Ji explained it very clearly, going on television is to advertise and promote our scientific research!" Lu Gang said hesitantly, "Although I don't think it will work, Xiao Ji said we still have to give it a try. As long as he doesn't want to be a celebrity, it's fine. You all keep talking, I'm going to get my hair done."
