The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 429: Who in the World Doesn’t Know You
Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Who in the World Doesn’t Know You
Everyone in the conference room looked at Jess and Aoki Koichi as if they were fools. Did these two really think so highly of themselves? Ye Chenfeng had spent just over twenty minutes and used only a few silver needles to eliminate the patient’s lung tumor, and here was Jess, this silly bird, showing off for what?
Jess and Aoki Koichi felt that something was off in the conference room atmosphere. After a cursory glance around the room, they were astonished to see Ye Chenfeng. That was impossible! Could it be that Ye Chenfeng had completed the surgery faster than the two of them?
Jess couldn’t hold back and asked, "Ye Chenfeng, didn’t expect you to have finished the surgery too? How long did it take you?"
Ye Chenfeng tossed a peanut into his mouth and after a couple of crunches, he replied, "Seems like it was about twenty minutes or so!"
Hearing this, Jess and Aoki Koichi’s tense expressions relaxed considerably. They knew the difficulty of the surgery; it was simply not possible to finish in around twenty minutes. Therefore, they concluded that Ye Chenfeng must have given up because he lacked confidence.
"I bet you didn’t even finish the surgery, right? I’ve always said Traditional Chinese Medicine is trash. Don’t forget the wager between us, and I trust you won’t go back on your word," Aoki Koichi sneered with a mocking laugh.
However, contrary to what Aoki Koichi and Jess had thought—that the medical authorities from Huaxia Country would surely be shocked—everyone seemed to ignore their words, remaining calmly seated and looking at the two with disdain.
Wester and Jiang Chuan Chikyu, feeling dejected, staggered as if they could hardly walk straight and stumbled over to Jess and Aoki Koichi. Wester’s dry and pale lips trembled slightly, and many words seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to explain the situation to Jess and Aoki Koichi.
Jess and Aoki Koichi were not fools. Seeing the distraught looks of Wester and Jiang Chuan Chikyu, they guessed that something must have happened and had a very bad feeling about it.
"Wester, what exactly happened here? Don’t beat around the bush," Jess demanded sharply.
Wester swallowed hard, and with great difficulty, he stammered out, "Today... today’s competition was won by Huaxia Country. Ye Chenfeng used just a few silver needles and about twenty minutes to remove the patient’s tumor. Mr. Jiang and I personally examined the patient’s body and confirmed that the tumor had indeed been eliminated."
Wester’s words struck like a bolt from the blue, causing the expressions on Jess and Aoki Koichi’s faces to freeze instantly, skepticism clouding their eyes. About twenty minutes? Just a few silver needles to remove a tumor? How could they, two medical authorities, believe that?
Seeing the dumbstruck Jess and Aoki Koichi, someone from the judging panel stood up and spoke, "Mr. Jess, Mr. Aoki, Huaxia Country’s competitor indeed eliminated the patient’s tumor within around twenty minutes, and there are cameras installed in the surgery room, so it’s impossible for Huaxia Country to have pulled any tricks. Therefore, Huaxia Country wins today’s competition."
"Clap clap clap clap clap" A round of applause erupted in the conference room, in genuine admiration for Ye Chenfeng’s miraculous medical skills, which had won over these medical experts from around the world. In their eyes, a medical genius like Ye Chenfeng deserved their respect.
Ye Chenfeng slowly stood up from his chair, walked over to Jess and Aoki Koichi, and said, "Remember our wager. I will inform the media about it, and once I do, even if you go back to your own countries, you can kiss your medical careers goodbye."
"When you’re in this world, you really must know your own limits. If you’ve got no skill, don’t step up and make a fool of yourself," Ye Chenfeng said with a smile, patting Jess and Aoki Koichi on the shoulders before he walked out of the conference room.
After Ye Chenfeng and the others left Shanghe Private Hospital and dealt with some media at the entrance, they planned to return to their accommodations to pack their things and then head back home, as these medical authorities came from all over Huaxia Country.
"Mr. Ye, please take me on as your apprentice!"
"Mr. Ye, please accept me as your apprentice too!"
"And me as well."
"And me."
...
As soon as they returned to the hotel lobby, the medical authorities sincerely bowed to Ye Chenfeng, now understanding why Duan Nan had wanted Ye Chen as his mentor all along. Duan Nan’s confident demeanor throughout had indicated he knew of Ye Chenfeng’s exceptional medical skills, and for them, this was an opportunity not to be missed.
"What are you doing? If there are any questions about Medical Skills, we can always discuss them, but there’s really no need for this master-apprentice business," Ye Chenfeng said, waving his hand dismissively.
How stubborn these old men were! Some even wanted to kneel before Ye Chenfeng. Seeing this, Ye Chenfeng let out a resigned sigh in his heart. It seemed he’d have to agree for now; it was just a title of master and disciple after all. Truth be told, Ye Chenfeng didn’t feel like he was at a loss.
"I agree to take you on, but, I really don’t have the time to guide you in Medical Skills," Ye Chenfeng said irritably.
"What are you waiting for? Go and pay your respects to your Grand Master," the medical authorities urged, nearly all of whom had come with their descendants in tow. Now that Ye Chenfeng had agreed to become their master, they were overjoyed. They didn’t mind that Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t be able to guide them frequently. They simply wanted to secure the master-disciple title. Who knows, if they ever needed Ye Chenfeng’s help in the future, surely he wouldn’t refuse them, right?
Those old men were indeed cunning.
...
The International Medical Exchange Competition had already been over for two days.
Over these two days, all the major media outlets reported on the event, with comrade Ye Chenfeng as the main protagonist.
At the Bais’ villa in Capital City, Elder Bai, Bai Hongfang, held a newspaper in his hands. On the front page was a photo of Ye Chenfeng, with the striking headline "Medical Genius, Steadies the Ship."
"The Ye boy has caused quite a stir this time! If only we hadn’t broken off that engagement with the Yes, how splendid that would have been! He definitely would have made a grandson-in-law to my satisfaction," Elder Bai sighed and muttered to himself.
In Bai Xueling’s room on the second floor of the Bais’ villa,
Bai Xueling lay on the bed, her bare feet poking out, dressed in a silk garment. She too was holding a newspaper, eyes fixed on the smiling photo of Ye Chenfeng on the front page. She pursed her lips slightly, muttered to herself, "Ye Chenfeng, what’s so great about you? It’s just that your Medical Skills are a bit better, huh!"
...
In the Songs’ villa in Capital City, inside Elder Song, Song Yigang’s study, there was also a newspaper on the desk.
"The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that the assassin you sent to take out Ye Chenfeng in Tianhai was killed by him. I can’t get a handle on this Ye Chenfeng," Elder Song said, frowning.
Standing in front of Song Yigang, a black-clad figure with a face hidden in a hood let out a strange chuckle and said, "Ye Chenfeng’s abilities have indeed exceeded my expectations. However, no matter how formidable he is, he’s still just a mortal. Let him stir up as much trouble as he wants in Capital City! When the time is right, I’ll personally send him on his way."
"I plan to start by wiping out the Bais from Capital City. Prepare the Songs to take over the Bais’ influence. In no more than two months, the Bais will cease to exist in Capital City," the black-clad figure declared confidently.
"Very well, I’ll make the necessary preparations," Elder Song answered respectfully.
...
Meanwhile, the title of ’Ye the Fool’ was completely stripped from Ye Chenfeng. Now, everyone in Capital City was talking about Ye Chenfeng; he had even become the Prince Charming in the eyes of many daughters from prominent families in the city.
Of course, far away in Tianhai, Zhao Wanting, Tang Xin, Wang Feifei, the Monkey, Li Pangzi, and the others had also seen the reports about Ye Chenfeng. The Monkey and Li Pangzi exclaimed, "Boss is awesome, no matter where he goes."
In the current state of affairs, it could be said that there was no one in the land who did not know of him. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, we welcome you to vote for it with your recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
