Chapter 992: Chapter 0992: Making Good Connections 1 Chapter 992: Chapter 0992: Making Good Connections 1 This was a new guard, one Feng Qingxue had not seen, at least not among those she had encountered in the old chief’s ho. She only heard Guo Ming asking, “Xiaoliu, you’ve co to see —is there sothing wrong with the old chief?”
Xiaoliu scanned the people in the room and saluted respectfully, “The old chief has been coughing rather severely, so Secretary Zhou sent to find you.”
“I will go right now, right now,” Guo Ming said hurriedly as he reached for his dical kit. “I’ve told the old chief many tis to quit smoking, quit smoking; smoking damages the lungs, but he just can’t part with those few cigarettes. He really doesn’t take good care of himself.”
Xiaoliu smiled but said nothing, clearly reluctant to pass judgnt on the old chief’s actions or on what Guo Ming had said.
Such careful consideration was admirable.
Before leaving, Guo Ming instructed his wife, Mrs. Guo, “You know where the things I promised to give to Xiaoxue are. When you have a chance, hand them to her so she can study them thoroughly at ho. There’s no need for formal goodbyes when she leaves the Capital—we don’t care for such empty formalities.”
“Understood. Now hurry, don’t delay the old chief’s matters!”
After Guo Ming and Xiaoliu left, Mrs. Guo indeed fetched a wicker-bound book chest and moved it to the hall. “Xiaoxue, inside are all the dical notes your master could preserve, including those from his student days as well as from his practicing years. He has recorded all sorts of challenging cases and his experintation and treatnt thods. Take it and I hope you won’t squander your master’s hard work.”
Feng Qingxue took it with great reverence as if receiving a great treasure, “Don’t worry, Master’s Wife, I definitely won’t let Master down.”
“Alright, sit down. I’ll tell you about your several senior brothers—the good and the bad—to avoid awkwardness in case you et them later not knowing they are your fellow disciples,” Mrs. Guo said with a hint of jest.
Feng Qingxue listened respectfully and attentively.
Wang Xinsheng had his own job, and upon learning of the old chief’s discomfort, he naturally wanted to visit and et with other comrades who were visiting the old chief as well. So, after giving Mrs. Guo a heads up, he left, taking Lu Jiang with him.
When better to network with the old leaders if not now?
For Wang Xinsheng, Lu Jiang was no different from his own son, and a father naturally wishes to promote his son.
Mrs. Guo didn’t mind, and said to Feng Qingxue, “Throughout your master’s life, he has trained many doctors, both in traditional Chinese and Western dicine. However, only three can truly be called his disciples, and that’s excluding you.”
“May I know the esteed nas of these three senior brothers?” Feng Qingxue asked, recalling the records about Guo Ming where his students were all prominent figures, let alone his disciples.
In the history of modern dicine, the nas of Guo Ming and his disciples were well-known.
Mrs. Guo said softly, “The eldest is nad Zang Yuying, now in Shanghai. We don’t know his specific circumstances; it’s been a long ti since we’ve heard from him, and ssages we sent vanished like stones thrown into the sea. The second is nad Lian Fengguo, working in the Capital’s hospital, currently doing very well. Primarily, it’s his Western surgical skills that are known, while his Chinese dicine remains relatively unrecognized. The third…”
When it ca to the third, Mrs. Guo paused briefly, then stopped.
“What about the third senior brother?” Feng Qingxue asked, rembering that according to the records about Guo Ming, the third senior brother should be Leng Tianxing, a top-notch traditional Chinese dicine practitioner in Jinling, a master among masters. Before she crossed over, this senior brother was still diagnosing patients at over ninety years of age, with his dical appointnts fetching thousands of yuan.
Mrs. Guo’s words confird what she had found, “Your third senior brother, Leng Tianxing, is in Jinling City. Because he is most proficient in Chinese dicine, he is the one your master and I worry about the most.”
