Chapter 2: Old Zhi

  Wang Zhi pulled out the golden needle, and soon the old man slowly came to, opening his eyes to look around at where he was. He looked at Lin Qiwu with a very apologetic expression and said: "Little Lin, this time I've really caused you trouble."

  Seeing the old man wake up, Lin Qiwu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "You're joking, sir. You personally came to attend Father's birthday celebration, which makes me very grateful. How can it be a trouble?"

  Seeing the worry that had just disappeared from Lin Qiwei's face, the old man didn't say a word, he just smiled lightly. He knew that if this old guy were to cause trouble for the Lin family again, it would be no small problem for them. Although the Lin family had Old Man Lin to rely on, dealing with him was not easy either.

  "Alright, everyone be quiet for a moment. The old man has just woken up and his body is still weak. Don't affect his recovery." Seeing the old man wake up, several middle-aged people around him went to ask about his well-being, making Wang Zhi frown and remind them reluctantly.

  "Ah, everyone listen to Dr. Wang and let Old Qi rest well." Upon hearing Wang Zhi's reminder, Lin Qiwu also quickly reacted and hastily stopped them. Although the crowd was unhappy in their hearts, they didn't dare say anything. After all, what Wang Zhi said was the truth. The old man had barely been saved, if he fell into crisis again because of their actions, then they would be seeking death themselves.

  The old man also heard Wang Zhi's voice at this time, and looked at Wang Zhi with great surprise. How could such a young doctor make so many deputy ministerial officials listen to him?

  Lin Qiwei saw the old man's surprised gaze, and quietly walked up to him, saying in a low voice: "This is Dr. Wang Zhi, although he is young, his medical skills are exquisite, just now he saved you from danger."

  "Ah!" Upon hearing Lin Qiwei's words, Old Qi's eyes were filled with even more curiosity and surprise. He looked at Wang Zhi, who was not far away with a calm expression, and nodded his head in subtle approval: "The younger generation is indeed formidable!"

  It's no wonder that Old Lin was surprised, he knew that the Central Hospital had several famous doctors like Zhou Boran, but in the end it was this young man who treated him. It can be seen that he is not simple. Moreover, now that he feels his physical condition, although a bit tired, it is extremely relaxed, without any suffocation, which is something he hasn't felt for many years.

  At this time, the nurse had already brought over the medicine that Wang Zhi had ordered. Wang Zhi took it and smelled it, feeling that the medicine was satisfactory. He gently placed the medicine in front of the old man and smiled: "Old sir, your body is still weak and you have an old illness, after taking this medicine, sleep well and tomorrow you will be able to get out of bed and walk around."

  The old man looked at Wang Zhi's clear eyes and calm smile, and chuckled: "Not bad, little guy!"

  When he heard Qi Lao praise Wang Zhi, Lin Qiwu on the side also felt a little envious. The old man rarely praised people, and he could see that the old man's praise of Wang Zhi was not just because Wang Zhi had saved his life, but a genuine appreciation.

  Wang Zhi didn't pay much attention to the old man's praise, although the old man was of noble status, Wang Zhi had met many people of noble status before.

  Taking care of the old man after he finished his medicine, watching him fall asleep quietly, several people left the ward quietly. This time, no one dared to underestimate Wang Zhi again. They all warmly greeted Wang Zhi with smiles on their faces. This time, Wang Zhi saved Qi Lao's life, and with his superb medical skills, his future prospects are boundless.

  For these people's flattery and fawning, Wang Zhi is very open-minded. This world has always been like this. You can only gain others' respect and recognition if you have real power and ability.

  "Doctor Wang, indeed." Lin Qigui also smiled and grasped Wang Zhi's hand, saying gratefully: "This time we really have to thank you. If anything unexpected happened to Old Qi, it would be an unfortunate event for the entire Jianghuai region."

  "Mayor Lin doesn't need to be polite, saving lives and treating injuries is the duty of a doctor, it's just what we're supposed to do." Wang Zhi said casually, without showing any tension in front of the mayor.

  "Haha, now it's rare to see someone who can stick to their duty, Doctor Wang is really exceptional." Lin Qiwu said with a smile.

  Two people were chatting, when suddenly a group of people rushed in again from outside, led by a middle-aged man nearing fifty years old, with a sturdy build and a face that bore some resemblance to Old Qi's, likely Old Qi's son.

  "Lin Qiwu, how's my dad?" The middle-aged man shouted loudly as soon as he saw Lin Qiwu from afar and rushed over with big strides.

  "It's all right now, I took some medicine and fell asleep." Qi Lao is safe and sound, Lin Qigang also felt no guilt when facing Qi Changguo, and replied very easily.

  "It's nothing, really." Qi Changguo listened to Lin Qiwu's response with a mix of delight and surprise. He knew about his father's illness, which was controlled by doctors but still had a low probability of relapse, and once it did, it would be very dangerous.

  Originally, Lao Yezi was going to come to Jianghuai this time, but Qichang Guo opposed it. However, Lao Yezi insisted on coming, saying that they were old comrades-in-arms for decades and now only one was left, and he didn't know how many more years he had to live, so he should see him once.

  "It's really nothing now, thanks to Dr. Wang's timely intervention." Lin Qiwu said with a smile.

  "Dr. Wang, aren't those two old boys Zhou Boyan and Jiang Yuanhua?" Qi Changguo had been to Jianghuai many times and was familiar with several big shots at the Central Hospital, so he didn't mince words and called the two men "old boys" right in front of them.

  "Heh heh." Lin Qiwei was also used to seeing Qi Changguo's ferocity and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, Doctor Wang is the one Old Zhou recommended."

  "Oh, which one is Dr. Wang? I must thank him properly." Upon hearing Lin Qiwu mention Dr. Wang again, he suddenly realized that he hadn't thanked him yet and hastily asked.

  "Isn't this him?" Lin Qiwai said with a smile, pulling Wang Zhi's hand.

  "What? This little guy is Dr. Wang?" Qi Changguo saw Wang Zhi, his face full of disbelief, his originally large eyes widened even further, and he shouted loudly.

  "Haha, right, I'm Dr. Wang, you can call me Wang Zhi." Seeing Qi Changguo's appearance, Wang Zhi suddenly thought of the many heroes he had met at that time, who were all straightforward and carefree, living life to the fullest. Qi Changguo was also one of them, so Wang Zhi smiled and greeted him warmly.

  "Haha, good kid, I like it." Upon hearing Wang Zhi's words, Qi Changguo was slightly stunned, then patted Wang Zhi's shoulder and burst into loud laughter.

  A few people chatted casually, but it was actually Zhang Peihou and Zhou Boran who were left aside. Zhang Peihou looked at Wang Zhi chatting with Qi Changguo without any unnatural color, and his mind kept recalling the amazing acupuncture skills Wang Zhi had shown earlier. He couldn't help but feel grateful that Old Zhou had poached this young man to the hospital; otherwise, today's trouble wouldn't have been limited to just Lin Qiwu.

  Don't look at Qi Changguo's smiling face now, it's because he heard that the old man is fine. If something happens, Qi Changguo will definitely make anyone present feel terrified.

  Qichang Guo and Wang Zhi became more and more compatible, finally Qichang Guo knew that the old man was asleep and wouldn't wake up for a while, so he directly pulled Wang Zhi to drink wine, deciding to have a good chat, this kid is really to his taste.
