the cave entrance, saying, "Master, your disciple is unworthy; I can no longer serve you."After saying this, the Old Ghost stood up with a resolute expression. A fierce aura surged out of his body.Xia...Chapter 10: Pulse Diagnosis

Since Chen Jinghai learned about the illness of the expert, he immediately contacted his brother-in-law to help find Director Hu. His intention was to undermine Fangyuan's credibility because since he found out that Xiao Yu had been hired by Fangyuan, he wondered if there might be some hidden agenda behind it. After all, Xiao Yu started working at the clinic the very day after it was established; would anyone believe there wasn’t something fishy

Therefore, he carefully looked into Xiao Yu's background and found out that Xiao Yu was a recent graduate from medical school with a major in Traditional Chinese Medicine. He also inquired about Xiao Yu’s academic performance during his studies through teachers at the institute of traditional medicine. It turned out that Xiao Yu had always been among the worst performing students, never ranking better than third to last on exams. So he thought about how to use this against Fangyuan. Just when he heard that the expert from Beijing was ill and couldn't be cured by the hospital doctors, he felt his chance had come, hence why he relentlessly pressured Fangyuan in hopes of embarrassing Xiao Yu and thereby undermining Fangyuan's position, which would then make it easy for him to secure the general manager’s post.

Ever since he brought in Director Hu, Chen Jinghai remained anxious. After all, with so many doctors and medical equipment at the hospital, they couldn't figure out a cure overnight. If Director Hu also said that there was no good treatment, then his plan to undermine Fangyuan would fail.

This clearly demonstrated Chen Jinghai's ruthless nature in pursuing his goals. Upon hearing from Director Hu that the diagnosis had been made and the problem wasn’t serious, Chen Jinghai finally relaxed.

At this moment, Chen Jinghai turned to see Fangyuan and Xiao Yu sitting on the sofa. With a smug look, he walked over next to them and said to Fangyuan: "General Manager Fang, is this Doctor Xiao Oh... By the way, General Manager Fang, Director Hu from the city hospital has already made a definitive diagnosis. Why don't you have Doctor Xiao take another look After all, Doctor Xiao graduated top of his class at the Deep Sea College of Traditional Chinese Medicine; there might be better methods!" When he mentioned "top student," Chen Jinghai deliberately emphasized it.

When Chen Jinghai finished speaking, everyone's eyes swept towards Xiao Yu and the others. Who were these people in the room They were all top figures in their respective fields, so they could easily understand Chen Jinghai’s hidden intentions. They couldn’t help but show contempt for him, yet because the doctor he had called just treated Old Cai’s illness, although everyone looked disdainful, no one said anything.

"Since Vice President Chen thinks so highly of Xiao Mou, if I don't go to see him, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to Vice President Chen's praise!" Xiao Yu stood up and calmly said.

“Huhu…”

Hearing what Xiao Yu had said, everyone couldn’t help but smile in agreement. In the current situation of China, when addressing someone with a vice title, people usually omitted the "vice" part, for example, an acting section chief was generally called Section Chief instead of Acting Section Chief. If you were to call them wrong and ask them to do something for you, even if they could help you, not helping would be considered merciful. It showed how important it was to address people correctly.

Now that Xiao Yu kept calling him Vice President Chen, he clearly didn’t consider him worth much. In fact, in his heart, Xiao Yu thought this was unfair! What kind of situation was this You were fighting with Director Fang, and you dragged me into it as well! How could the little doctor at my small medical office be involved in your boss-level conflicts Is this what they call getting shot while lying down Xiao Yu thought to himself self-deprecatingly.

Seeing how unashamed Xiao Yu was, Director Hu felt angry and said to him when he walked by: "Young man, it's better to be more humble!"

"Hmm, thank you, Director Ho for your guidance," Xiao Yu nodded and said in a soft voice.

After all, Director Ho was quite conscientious. Moreover, Western medicine is prevalent nowadays; it's uncertain if any other Western doctor would be better than this Director Ho. Therefore, although Director Ho seemed to rely on his seniority just now, Xiao Yu remained polite in his speech.

Xiao Yu appeared calm on the surface, but he was nervous inside. Although he had Dr Zhong Kui's medical experience in his mind, this was his first official diagnosis as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. He wondered if his late grandfather would be pleased to see him doing this! Back then, his grandfather forced him to study medicine, and although Xiao Yu studied it, he always found excuses not to diagnose patients independently when his grandfather asked him to. Now no one is forcing him, yet he has taken the initiative to make a diagnosis; how unpredictable life can be!

Xiao Yu pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. He sat by the bed, took a deep breath to calm himself down, then extended his left hand with three fingers gently pressing on the patient's wrist at the cun (inches), guan (barley corns), and chi (feet) positions of the pulse, closing his eyes as he carefully sensed the pulse like a monk in meditation.

The people in the room stared at Xiao Yu taking the pulse in astonishment; no one expected him to be a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. In their minds, a TCM doctor was an old man with a white beard, and they all looked puzzled when they saw how young he was.

"Humph, who knows if he's just putting on a show Who would believe someone so young" Chen Jinghai snorted disdainfully.

Cheung Jinghai's words were unpleasant, but they also revealed everyone's thoughts.

Xiao Yu didn't pay any attention to Cheung Jinghai's remarks; the best way to counter was by curing the patient effectively in a moment, which would be more satisfying than slapping him. Thus, Xiao Yu ignored what Cheung Jinghai had said.

After one minute, he put away his posture and said after a brief contemplation: "The patient suffers from cold-dampness in the stomach and intestines accompanied by diarrhea." Knowing that he was young, Xiao Yu was aware that everyone would doubt him, so he only used pulse examination, hoping to impress them.

"Haha, you've got me laughing! How can you diagnose a disease just from touching Do you think you're another incarnation of Hua Tuo If this were the case, I'd also claim that I'm a doctor!" Cheung Jinghai laughed arrogantly. At first, he was afraid that Xiao Yu might actually be skilled and cure Professor Cai's illness, which would ruin his plan. But seeing Xiao Yu diagnose the patient after just touching his wrist, Cheung Jinghai felt completely relieved.

"Xiao, do you want to take a closer look" Although Fang Yuan had confidence in Xiao Yu, when he saw him diagnosing the cause of the illness so quickly, he was still somewhat anxious.

The people inside the room were even more agitated. Professor Cai's condition hadn't improved despite spending a night at the hospital and receiving all necessary medications, yet Xiao Yu had diagnosed it with just a pulse examination, which made them highly skeptical.e truth, there wasn’t any other way for him aside from finding Zhang Dahai.If threatening Xiao Yu to come treat Huang Laoshi’s illness was a method, even if Zhang Dahai was present and they wanted to...
