Chapter 587: The Seal (League Leader shyn307's 1st bonus chapter)

The production team is busy in the heat of the moment.

Shanghai, Hepatobiliary Hospital.

"Boss, news from Lin'an: the production team encountered a car accident during filming," Ling Tian and Qin Chu reported.

"The production team was in a car accident?" Qin Chu asked.

"No, they were filming in a department when they encountered a pile-up. Lin Jiuze has already gone into the operating room." Ling Tian smiled slightly, his mind flashing to the purple clay teapot Lin Jiuze had carved like magic while they were talking.

"Hmm." Qin Chu was quite satisfied with this; he tapped his fingers on the tabletop.

Based on Ling Tian's understanding of his boss, the boss seemed full of anticipation for this.

"It's just... Boss, Lin Jiuze seemed a bit cold when I asked him for information from over there."

"Don't pay him any mind," Qin Chu said in a muffled voice. "Banana people—in their bones, a vacation just means going to the beach to play; they have no spirit of enduring hardship. Being called by me to participate in the show, he must be full of resentment. After this is over, we'll talk when we go to Boston for the conference at the end of the year."

Ling Tian wanted to say something but stopped.

However, he was also curious: in the surgery currently underway at Hang Yi Da Yi Fu Yuan, would Lin Jiuze completely crush Ji Xiang, or would he be completely crushed by Ji Xiang?

Or perhaps the two would be evenly matched, with no clear winner.

……

……

The Second Affiliated Hospital, Medical Affairs Department.

Bai Chuzhang was busy when Liu Zhi strode in.

"Lao Bai, did Lu Zhuren call you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"He just called me, and he sounded very angry."

"What did Lao Lu say?" Bai Chuzhang looked up at Liu Zhuren, but immediately went back to being busy.

"He didn't say anything, just grumbled and complained, like he'd had his tail stepped on," Liu Zhuren said. "Lao Bai, why don't you ask?"

"What's there to ask?" Bai Chuzhang said with disdain. "Let it be. I'm busy; we'll know when we see the show."

Liu Zhuren understood his old friend and knew the hospital had been busy lately, with several large-scale Medical Disputes waiting to be handled.

Although he was curious, Liu Zhuren could only swallow it back.

The show, when does it start?

It had been a long time since Liu Zhuren had looked forward to something like this. He sighed, and while walking back, he silently calculated the time in his heart.

……

……

3 days later.

The new episode went live.

Early on, Liu Zhi dragged Bai Chuzhang to Peiyang Barbecue.

"Dazhi, your mindset is wrong," Bai Chuzhang commented on the restless Liu Zhuren while steadily picking up food and drinking.

"I'm old, I'm old, yet I'm starting to have the thoughts of a young person," Liu Zhuren chuckled. "The day before yesterday, the production team released a trailer saying a newcomer was coming. I'm worried that Xiao Ji might have a problem, so I'm a bit uneasy."

"That person from Massachusetts General Hospital doesn't count as a newcomer; he is an Expert."

Liu Zhuren looked at Bai Chuzhang with a playful gaze; his mouth said no, but his body was truly honest.

Lao Bai must have known about the show's trailer early on, and he probably even knew a bit about the opponent's information; this was consistent with his image in the Medical Affairs Department of knowing every detail and having a bird's-eye view.

"You say this isn't bullying?" Liu Zhi said with disdain. "The show is a variety program about entering the workplace, letting the audience get a superficial understanding of a profession, yet they fucking brought in a young doctor from Massachusetts General Hospital."

"Young doctor?" Bai Chuzhang smiled playfully.

"Hmm?" Liu Zhi immediately thought of what Bai Chuzhang had just said.

"Lao Bai, who is he?" Liu Zhuren asked.

"Lin Jiuze is returning to Massachusetts General Hospital to form his own medical team after his vacation ends. He specializes in diagnosis and Interventional Surgery. It's said his level of Surgical Operation is also extremely high, he just rarely does them."

"..." Liu Zhuren stared in shock.

This is fucking here specifically to suppress Ji Xiang, a thought popped into Liu Zhi's mind immediately.

"I've checked carefully over the past few days; there are some clues. It should be that Lin Jiuze's teacher and Qin Chu have a very good relationship. Back then, Qin Chu stayed in the country, and Lin Jiuze's teacher went to Massachusetts General Hospital."

"!!!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this great god was invited back by Qin Chu to seal Ji Xiang."

"Seal? He's not worthy!"

Liu Zhuren grumbled.

However, despite saying he wasn't worthy, a worried expression appeared on Liu Zhuren's face.

The two didn't continue talking and ate on their own.

The long commercials seemed to have grown even longer, as if they had no end in sight.

"Really fucking unreliable; I can't even watch it just because of these ads," Liu Zhuren complained. "I'll give Xiao Ji a call later and tell him to just come back; no need to take this crap."

"Scared?"

"Scared?" Liu Zhi glared, but immediately sighed.

Indeed, hearing Bai Chuzhang's brief introduction to the past of the young man named Lin Jiuze, especially knowing he was invited by Qin Chu specifically to target Ji Xiang, Liu Zhi felt a desire to retreat.

It's not the thief you fear, but the thief who has his eye on you.

Qin Chu is in the shadows, and Ji Xiang is in the light; getting bitten is the most normal thing in the world. Especially since Ji Xiang doesn't pay attention to these kinds of things and hasn't experienced the sinister side of human nature.

Sigh.

Liu Zhuren sighed deeply.

Although this is just a variety show and it's not like his reputation is at stake, being messed with still made Liu Zhuren very unhappy.

Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice came from the television.

"The *** Hospital invested a huge sum three years ago to build a gut microbiota transplantation base..."

Liu Zhuren was startled and looked up at the television.

It wasn't the voice that was familiar, but the content.

What does this mean?

"Lao Bai, can a hospital run advertisements?"

"Public ones can't, but private ones can get away with skirting the rules," Bai Chuzhang said. "I reckon it's because the previous episode featured Fecal microbiota transplantation, so this private hospital got an idea. They're using the topic of Fecal microbiota transplantation from the last episode to introduce themselves on the show."

"That shouldn't be allowed." Liu Zhuren was still hung up on whether it was permissible, but Bai Chuzhang was clearly thinking about something else.

He picked up his wine glass and downed the wine in one gulp.

"Jealous?" Liu Zhuren understood his old friend's thoughts and asked teasingly.

"How could I not be," Bai Chuzhang didn't hide it. "I wanted to start Fecal microbiota transplantation at our Second Affiliated Hospital, but every time it comes up in a meeting, it doesn't pass."

"Even the Vice President finds it difficult; wait until you become the Dean."

Bai Chuzhang curled his lips.

The position of Dean of the Second Affiliated Hospital was one he could not covet.

Having worked diligently his whole life, becoming a Vice President was already a stroke of immense luck, and Bai Chuzhang even knew that if he were to covet the position of Dean, it was possible a bolt of lightning from beyond the nine heavens would strike him down and scatter his soul.

No matter how long an advertisement is, it eventually ends.

The long-winded advertisement finally concluded, and the main program began to play.

A harmless-looking face appeared in front of the camera.
