299: Chapter 299: This is Unfair!
“Fang Bai, my very good friend.
President Xie, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave now!”
Ye Wui adeptly caught the scorn and disdain in Xie Yifei’s eyes as he looked at Fang Bai, her expression further cooled, her tone distant and even reluctant to speak another word.
Hearing Ye Wui refer to Fang Bai as a “very good friend,” Xie Yifei’s expression slightly changed, feeling intense jealousy in his heart.
I, Xie Yifeng, have known Ye Wui for so long, yet I can’t even count as a friend, while this Fang Bai, how did he beco Ye Wui’s “very good friend”?
What is their relationship?
Xie Yifeng looked at Fang Bai again, his gaze sowhat somber.
“May I ask what your esteed position is, Mr.
Fang?”
Xie Yifeng had enough nerve, not taking the hint to leave when Ye Wui showed no interest in talking to him, instead turning to Fang Bai with a smile and asked.
But his smile seed insincere and loathso in Ye Wui’s eyes.
“I am an intern doctor in the acupuncture and massage departnt of the Traditional Chinese dicine section at Yanjing Hospital.”
With how perceptive Fang Bai was, he certainly noticed the contempt and disdain in Xie Yifeng’s eyes, and if it weren’t for Ye Wui’s acquaintance with him, Fang Bai wouldn’t have bothered with such a conceited person.
“Traditional Chinese dicine section?
Acupuncture and massage departnt?
An intern doctor?”
Xie Yifei was taken aback, having assud that anyone who could beco Ye Wui’s “very good friend” would undoubtedly be a man of wealth or status, outstanding in every aspect.
Yet, this guy was just an intern doctor – and in the least esteed acupuncture and massage departnt of the Traditional Chinese dicine section, no less.
When Xie Yifei first saw Fang Bai, noticing the ordinary sedan worth a re tens of thousands and his non-affluent attire, he had guessed that Fang Bai was soone without much wealth or influence.
Now, knowing Fang Bai’s profession, he looked down on him even more.
Although the kid was good-looking, there were plenty more handso than him, and attending such an important event, this kid didn’t even have a decent car.
Clearly, he was short on money.
Ye Wui must be blind to consider such a person a good friend.
Moreover, the two arrived in the sa car, seemingly ready to attend the charity auction together tonight, leading to the inference that their relationship might be more than just “very good friends.”
Perhaps this kid had a gift for gab and used sweet talk to gain Ye Wui’s trust, aiming to be a man living off a woman.
Ye Wui, although revered as the queen of the music world and the National Sweetheart, had never been involved in any scandals, reportedly never even dated, a picture of unblemished innocence.
For such a woman, to encounter a suave, sweet-talking man who also happened to be fairly attractive – it would be easy for her to be swept away.
Yes!
That must be it!
Damn it, this is intolerable!
I look a hundred tis better than this kid, suave and wealthy, so why can he be Ye Wui’s “very good friend” while I am not?
This is unfair!
The more Xie Yifeng thought about it, the angrier he felt, the hostility in his gaze towards Fang Bai growing stronger.
“President Xie seems to look down on Chinese dicine,” Fang Bai said.
“Also, as an intern, if I perform well during my internship, there is a chance for to beco a regular employee.”
Fang Bai frowned, his expression slightly displeased and his tone rather cold.
“Heh, interns in the acupuncture and massage departnt of Chinese dicine, so what if they beco regulars?
They still end up with no prospects!”
While Xie Yifeng thought this, he obviously wouldn’t say it out loud.
He waved his hand and said, “Mr.
Fang has misunderstood .
What I an is… Chinese dicine is in decline, it’s a marginal field within the hospital.
Why would Mr.
Fang choose to intern in the Chinese dicine departnt?”
“Because I like Chinese dicine, and it’s also what I studied,” Fang Bai answered.
“Moreover, although Chinese dicine is currently at a low point, I believe that one day it will rise again and its future will be even more glorious and splendid!”
Ye Wui had witnessed Fang Bai’s miraculous dical skills and, hearing his bold words, she didn’t think he was just talking big.
With his drive, the decline of Chinese dicine was bound to reverse.
“Mr.
Fang hopes for the rise of Chinese dicine, and that is a beautiful wish, but reality is often cruel,” Xie Yifeng responded.
After hearing Fang Bai’s words, Xie Yifeng couldn’t help but find them amusing and with a dismissive tone he said, “Just look at the patients nowadays.
How many of them choose Chinese dicine?
They only turn to it when Western dicine can no longer help them, with the hope that the dead horse they’re treating might sohow co back to life…
Haha, when it cos to the superiority of Western dicine over Chinese dicine, this says it all!”
Fang Bai knew that Xie Yifeng’s words held so truth, and his expression grew darker.
The decline of Chinese dicine had many reasons, but the primary ones were two:
First, Western dicine often produced faster results in treating diseases, so from patients’ perspectives, it was naturally the preferred choice; second, entering the field of Western dicine had fewer barriers to learning and better career prospects compared to Chinese dicine, which led to an increase in people studying Western dicine and its consequent widespread adoption in Huaxia.
To beco a qualified practitioner of Chinese dicine is quite challenging.
It not only requires innate talent but also years of accumulated practical experience.
So practitioners gray at the temples before achieving even a modicum of success, deterring the youth from entering the field and leading to an ever-diminishing competency in successive generations.
Seeing Fang Bai fall silent, Xie Yifeng thought he had left him speechless with his argunts, and a smug look appeared on his face.
He thought to himself that it would be good enough if a re Chinese dicine intern like Fang Bai could secure a permanent position, let alone talk about the revival of Chinese dicine, which seed laughable and delusional.
“I have so business dealings with Yanjing Hospital and am quite familiar with Vice Dean Li, who is in charge of personnel.
If you, Fang Bai, would like to stay at Yanjing Hospital in the future, I can put in a good word with Vice Dean Li.
There may be so hope for you.”
President Xie’s statent was tinged with ostentation, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Fang Bai with a smug smile, seemingly expecting gratitude and possibly even a bow in thanks, which would certainly boost his own status in front of Ye Wui.
After learning that Fang Bai was a Chinese dicine intern, Xie Yifeng’s disdain for him intensified, and “Mr.
Fang” was thus demoted to “Fang Bai” in his speech, which carried a condescending and imposing tone.
Ye Wui glanced at Fang Bai and saw his strange expression, struggling to suppress a laugh.
Her look towards Xie Yifeng carried a hint of mockery.
Fang Bai might be an intern, but he was no ordinary one.
Even the “Four Great National Doctors” who are seen as pillars of Huaxia’s dical community would likely feel inferior before him.
If Fang Bai were willing, any hospital in Huaxia, or even the world, would spare no expense to compete for him.
There was no need for Xie Yifeng’s introduction.
This Xie Yifeng really has too high an opinion of himself!
