Chapter 463: Arrogance

"Ji Xiang, you come." Yang Zhuren didn't want to make things too difficult for Zhao Mengmeng, so he let Ji Xiang begin the medical history taking.

Ji Xiang went about it very methodically, asking questions while taking notes on paper.

Three minutes later, Ji Xiang finished asking and began to report.

"There really is no comparison." Liu Zhuren looked at Ji Xiang, his eyes full of smiles, as if he were looking at his own biological son.

"What is there to praise about this?" Bai Chuzhang said.

"Today's program will likely be very dull; it's already great that Ji Xiang can have this kind of performance, okay?" Liu Zhuren said, acting protective. "It's just taking a medical history and commenting on a Medical Record, what kind of flair could there be? Let alone an Intern, if it were you going up to take a medical history, it would be very difficult to reach the level of watertight perfection that Ji Xiang has."

"Although Ji Xiang rarely writes Medical Records, Lu Gang says Ji Xiang's Medical Record level is not low," Bai Chuzhang said.

"Ordinary people can't tell either; this sort of thing belongs to the 'great music is hard to hear' type, it's very hard to stand out."

"Why do you always hope for Ji Xiang to stand out?" Bai Chuzhang asked.

"It is strange to say." Liu Zhuren sighed. "When I knew Ji Xiang was going to participate in a reality show and might stay at a good hospital in the South, I did hope for him to fail. But now, I'm afraid he'll perform poorly because of nervousness. In short, I'm just sitting on the fence, very conflicted."

"You really have taken Ji Xiang as your own child," Bai Chuzhang said. "This kind of thinking is not okay."

"It's as if you aren't," Liu Zhuren said with disdain. "Do you usually watch the show? Whenever Ji Xiang is on a variety show, aren't you the one scurrying over to watch? Can you watch Zhao Mengmeng? Nonsense."

"I am evaluating Ji Xiang," Bai Chuzhang said, spouting nonsense with a straight face. "I believe he can do it."

As for what he could do, Bai Chuzhang didn't say explicitly, and Liu Zhuren didn't ask in detail.

On the screen, Yang Zhuren was very approving of Ji Xiang's performance; he didn't nitpick for the sake of criticism and began to explain the details.

Ji Xiang had noticed all these details; Yang Zhuren was explaining them for Zhao Mengmeng.

After sending the Patient away, Yang Zhuren brought another Patient back and said, "The Patient knows their own situation; it is late-stage Liver Cancer. Two years ago, they had a surgery to remove the left lobe and tail lobe of the liver. Now there is a Tumor of about 10cm in the right lobe. Who among you will come to take the medical history?"

Hearing Yang Zhuren's words and looking at the Patient's expression, Bai Chuzhang let out an "Eh."

"What's wrong, Lao Bai?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"Why wasn't this kind of patient who is definitely going to die edited out?" Bai Chuzhang said suspiciously. "It's a variety show, so it should end happily. But in a hospital, you know how hard it is to have a happy ending."

He spoke very generally, and Liu Zhi nodded; he was also very surprised why the production team would keep this segment.

Coupled with the fact that the Patient seemed to fear the camera, Liu Zhuren even felt that this was just a Patient who happened to come for a check-up and suddenly ended up on camera.

He didn't believe the publicity of variety shows.

Most segments in a hospital cannot be aired on television; even with a rating system, they would have to be rated eighteen levels deep.

"Looking at the scans, it can be done!"

Ji Xiang's words broke everyone's fixed mindset.

Yang Zhuren's answer was what the doctors watching the program were thinking in their hearts.

"Dad, is Ji Xiang crazy?" Zhao Tianjiao asked suspiciously.

In his view, Ji Xiang was truly crazy; he even forgot to mock or ridicule, feeling only endless confusion.

"Strange, how could Ji Xiang say that?" Zhao Jixiang frowned as he watched the screen.

Soon, after several exchanges were interrupted, Ji Xiang clenched his fists, pressed them onto the tabletop, and leaned his body forward, creating a scene full of pressure.

Zhao Jixiang was stunned for a moment.

Ji Xiang was just a junior doctor, but the action he was performing now was the action of a senior doctor looking down on a junior doctor to reprimand them.

That action full of pressure made Zhao Jixiang feel dazed, as if he had returned to his younger days, with the Lao Zhuren looking down at him, reprimanding him with great pressure for the mistakes he made in his Clinical work.

Zhao Tianjiao was also dumbfounded.

Ji Xiang, how dare he!

Liu Zhuren stared blankly at this scene, speechless for a long time.

"Dazhi, I heard people say that when Ji Xiang first entered the department, he reprimanded Wu Zong, is that true?"

"It seems so, but I see that Wu Zong and Xiao Ji have a very good relationship. Even when talking about Xiao Ji behind his back, Wu Zong mostly says good things."

"Looking at this pressure, young people are just young people." Bai Chuzhang was not surprised, but watched with an appreciative eye. He smiled, "Dazhi, do you think I was this arrogant when I was young?"

"You were." Liu Zhuren spoke the truth.

"I was?"

"It was when you were sidelined by the Lao Zhuren, not allowed to perform surgery. The elder of that family from the provincial level needed surgery, and Director Lao Dong couldn't handle it. I stayed with you until you went on stage."

Speaking of the dusty past, Bai Chuzhang felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

He had forgotten the details; what remained in his mind was that he had gone into surgery at the time, successfully completed it, and only felt relieved the next day when the Patient woke up.

"When you spoke to the Lao Yuanzhang at that time, your posture was different from Ji Xiang's, but the pressure was the same," Liu Zhuren said. "I thought to myself at the time, if you couldn't handle it, then you might as well wait to resign and leave."

"How could that be? That kind of surgery was a major surgery for Director Lao Dong, but for me, it belonged to basic surgery. As for the secondary damage, his surgery was so rough, could the secondary damage compare to mine?" Bai Chuzhang laughed.

In his words, that sense of arrogance arose spontaneously.

Liu Zhuren looked at Bai Chuzhang, as if seeing an older Ji Xiang.

Although there wasn't a single point of resemblance between their brows.

"You two are really exactly the same," Liu Zhuren sighed as he watched Ji Xiang's posture full of pressure. "Fortunately, Xiao Ji doesn't treat me like this usually, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Oh my!" Tang Yan covered her mouth in surprise, pointing her finger at Ji Xiang on the projection.

"What's strange about this?" Feng Yuqing asked.

"Sister Yuqing, have you ever worked?"

"No."

"..." Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately sighed, "Using this posture and tone to talk to your wife means you don't want to live together anymore; using this tone to talk to your leader means you don't want to work anymore."

"It shouldn't be that bad. I saw that Yang Zhuren was quite appreciative of Ji Xiang just now. This kid is probably a bit carried away. Do you think Yang Zhuren will give him a knock?"

"I don't know." Tang Yan said she didn't know, but she already had the answer in her heart.

She looked at the imposing Ji Xiang and imagined herself, the Head Nurse, and the Director of Anesthesiology in Yang Zhuren's position.

No matter which angle she looked from, Ji Xiang was doomed.

How could he be so arrogant? Was it really because he had become conceited after his excellent performance in the first episode?

Or was he just too young, stumbling along without any stability? Tang Yan felt a bit anxious, her long eyelashes fluttering as she blinked, filled with worry.
