Chapter 172: Riding a Rocket to Compete with Peers; Ordinary Doctors Can Only Gaze in Awe!

"What's going on! Why does Old You call this young doctor 'Mr.'? And even refers to himself as a student!"

"Mr. Lin? Could it be Dr. Lin Yi, who conquered gallbladder cancer?"

"I never thought! To conquer gallbladder cancer at such a young age, this kid must have been studying medicine in the womb!"

"Isn't Old You a great master in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine? How could he apprentice himself to a Western Medicine doctor!"

"Academician You Changming's teacher, this seniority is a bit frightening..."

Everyone looked Lin Yi up and down, meticulously, with wide, bell-like eyes, yet they couldn't discern anything different about this young man.

To be called 'teacher' by Old You, this single identity alone has made Lin Yi a figure who can walk sideways in the entire Chinese medical field.

The halo of being an Academician's teacher is even more dazzling than that of the Academician himself.

Anyone who can stand out among millions, or even tens of millions, to become a top Academician-level figure in various industries in China is no fool.

And for them to call someone 'teacher' shows that in this field, they must be utterly convinced and respectful... But!

Given Lin Yi's age, even with the achievement of conquering gallbladder cancer, it doesn't seem to be enough to warrant this, does it?

This is also the point that everyone couldn't figure out no matter how hard they thought; it would be understandable if they addressed each other as equals, but for Lin Yi to be Old You's teacher, it seemed a bit lacking.

"Unless..."

A more absurd guess suddenly popped into everyone's minds.

"Unless Lin Yi has also completely convinced Old You in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which Old You specializes in!"

"That's even more outrageous..."

As soon as this hypothesis appeared in everyone's minds, it was immediately dismissed.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an industry where the older you are, the more respected you become; without a vast accumulation of experience, no achievements can be made.

Given Lin Yi's apparent age, at most in his twenties, it seemed to completely fail to meet the requirements... "Thank you for your concern, Old You, but please just call me Young Friend Lin."

"I am not qualified to be your teacher!"

Seeing Old You, who referred to himself as a student, appear before him, Lin Yi quickly stood up and humbly offered the seat to the other party.

He repeatedly stated that he dared not be an Academician's teacher.

This halo was indeed dazzling and captivating, but Lin Yi knew himself well and was very clear that at this moment, he was not yet qualified to be an Academician's teacher.

After all, apart from the two perfect-level cancer treatment skills rewarded by the system, in Traditional Chinese Medicine and other related fields, he wasn't even qualified to be Old You's grand-disciple... "Alright then, Young Friend Lin, are you alright?"

"I heard that some ignorant Little Notebook specifically came to the Hospital to find trouble with you, which is simply outrageous..."

You Changming's expression darkened, but he still addressed Lin Yi as a friend, as Lin Yi had requested.

Being rejected by Lin Yi for the second time in his attempt to become his disciple at least indicated that the current timing was not quite right; forcing it would only cut off future possibilities...

"I've lived long enough to see everything! Is Lin Yi crazy? He's an Academician, yet he refused to accept him as a disciple. What kind of divine operation is this?"

"Oh my goodness, why do I see a very disappointed expression on Old You's face!"

"An opportunity that others crave but cannot obtain, yet this young man doesn't even care. How much confidence must he have to make such a move!"

"Comparing people kills, comparing goods throws away. I finally have the deepest understanding of this saying!"

"Sigh... this is an Academician's teacher! Even if I were allowed to be Old You's grand-disciple, that would be a huge event, like smoke rising from my ancestral grave..."

The exchange between Lin Yi and You Changming truly dropped everyone present's jaws once again.

Old You's disappointment and Lin Yi's indifference were clearly visible to everyone; if their expressions had been swapped, everything would make sense.

The most terrifying thing was that these two acted so naturally, as if such an unexpected scene was not the first time it had occurred, and both were accustomed to it, which made it even more incomprehensible...

"Are you stupid, kid? Agree!"

"Such a huge opportunity is right in front of you, how can you just let it slip away..."

Zhong Xibei was so anxious he almost jumped up, winking at Lin Yi from various angles, but he almost poked his eyes out; Lin Yi seemed not to notice, completely unmoved.

The identity of an Academician's teacher, for Lin Yi himself or for the Central Hospital Emergency Department, would provide a significant boost in reputation, not just a little bit.

As long as Lin Yi agreed, his life would be like riding a rocket to compete with other peers; as long as he ensured he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, ordinary doctors could only crane their necks and gaze at his achievements for the rest of their lives!

The most infuriating thing was that this kid, for some reason, didn't even want such an opportunity...

"Old You is really something; couldn't you, an elder, have insisted a bit more?"

"You two ended the topic with your back-and-forth, and now I can't even open my mouth to persuade Lin Yi!"

Zhong Xibei could only secretly complain in his heart; facing so many senior elders, he didn't dare to say such words.

Old You was almost a deified figure in the entire Long Province Medical Community; if anyone showed even a slight disrespect to him, these elders could drown him with their spit...

"Brother Wang... did you film this segment?"

"Big news... truly big news!"

"Long Province's national treasure-level Academician You Changming actually wants to apprentice himself to a young doctor, and was even rejected by this doctor..."

"When this news is released, with its hype, hot topic, and watchability, it would be difficult for Jincheng TV Station not to trend on social media..."

Zhang Xiaomeng, a reporter from Jincheng TV Station, was so nervous her legs were a bit weak, her round eyes wide, constantly observing the unfolding situation on the scene.

She also continuously reminded the cameraman beside her that no matter what, not a single detail of everything they saw today could be missed.

For many years, Jincheng TV Station had not captured such explosive and sensational big news.

Given the impact this news would have, it would be unreasonable if it didn't trend on social media.

The only thing Zhang Xiaomeng regretted a little was that the combat power of the elders on the scene was too formidable; the two young people tried several times but couldn't squeeze into the center of the circle to record everything they saw with the best camera angle...

"It's alright, Old You, I, Lin Yi, don't even put those beasts from Little Notebook in my eyes."

"I also believe that the leaders of the Ministry of Health's investigation team will definitely give me a satisfactory investigation result."

While answering Old You's question, Lin Yi's gaze seemingly inadvertently swept over Team Leader Zhang Wenfeng.

Regardless, Lin Yi had to admit that Old You's arrival made the investigation targeting him much simpler and easier; Lin Yi had to remember this favor...

"Hello, Old You, I am Zhang Wenfeng, the investigation team leader sent by the Ministry of Health..."

Zhang Wenfeng, the investigation team leader from the Ministry of Health, quickly stepped forward, using Lin Yi's words as an opening to introduce himself to Old You, and also prepared to put a perfect end to this investigation.

"Rest assured, sir, after reconstructing the incident, the source of the error lies with Little Notebook..."

Zhang Wenfeng had just pointed at Yamamoto and the others across the conference table.

He then saw Yamamoto, his expression twisted and his eyes bloodshot, rushing towards them regardless...
