On Millennium Night, across the sea in Japan, events unfolded of which Ge Dongxu remained entirely unaware—that even after New Year's Day, King Gustadin of Reel Country had flown in on a private jet, accompanied by his wife, royal family mbers, private secretary, press secretary, chief steward, valets, dical officers, treasurer, servants, bodyguards, and the executives of companies owned by the royal family, along with the heads of well-known businesses from Reel Country forming a high-ranking delegation visiting Huaxia. Absorbed in cultivation, natural sciences, and his duties as a dical professor, Ge Dongxu was oblivious to such a significant event.
It wasn't until Elder Feng phoned him that Ge Dongxu learned of King Gustadin's arrival in Huaxia Country.
"What should I say about you?" Seeing that Ge Dongxu was actually unaware of King Gustadin's grand visit to Huaxia with his large entourage, Elder Feng, despite having experienced countless events in his life, felt sowhat embarrassed and at a loss for words for the initiator of it all.
"Ahem, senior brother, as you know, I've never paid much attention to these matters," Ge Dongxu replied with an awkward smile.
"You..." Elder Feng said with a speechless smile, and then added, "This visit of King Gustadin to Huaxia is a splendid start to our country's foreign relations in the new century and will inevitably influence the attitude of other European nations towards Huaxia. Of course, the most tangible benefit is that King Gustadin has brought a large business delegation. Although many partnerships are still under negotiation, the enterprises under the royal family have basically confird investnts in Huaxia Country, so of which involve advanced high-tech industries, which are very important for our country. You should know that he ca for you, so in this event, the greatest rit is yours. However, since you seek neither fa nor profit, I've turned away the goodwill intended for you on your behalf."
"Thank you, senior brother, you truly understand ," Ge Dongxu smiled.
"Stop flattering ! Now that King Gustadin has co all this way to our country with sincere intentions, what do you plan to do?" Elder Feng asked sowhat irritably after Ge Dongxu thanked him for deflecting the accolades and benefits.
"Senior brother, life is priceless! Especially for Gustadin, once life ends, the royal family's assets and power would turn to dust in the blink of an eye. So, his current deanor shows he is at least wise and sensible, but if he thinks I will treat his illness out of gratitude, that's definitely not happening. Because right now, he is the one seeking help from , not the other way around! Besides, I actually offered him an olive branch before this," Ge Dongxu replied.
"You, my friend, are even haughtier than your senior brother!" Elder Feng laughed and chided.
"Senior brother, I couldn't possibly accept that! My attitude depends on who I'm dealing with," Ge Dongxu laughed.
"Haha! A fine sentint, 'my attitude depends on who I'm dealing with!' In my old age, having such a disciple like you, my spine feels straighter than ever before! Well then, it's up to you to handle this matter, I won't interfere," Elder Feng said with a laugh, his voice hearty and robust.
...
Several days later, King Gustadin visited Linzhou City in Jiangnan Province, causing a sensation throughout the city.
The news of the King's visit spread through every street and alley.
However, aside from Ge Dongxu and a few others, no one knew that King Gustadin's real intention was to visit a young traditional Chinese dicine practitioner at the Jiangnan Province Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital.
It was the third day of King Gustadin's visit to Linzhou City.
Linzhou City was graced with the first snowfall of the winter, flurries swirling down.
A middle-aged foreigner, wrapped in a thick down jacket and wearing a knit hat that covered his ears, with a pair of large sunglasses on his nose, entered the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital accompanied by several tall and stern-looking foreigners and a man who seed to exude the air of an English butler.
Once inside the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital, the man with the deanor of an English butler went to register.
The appointnt was with Professor Tang Yiyuan.
After making the appointnt, the middle-aged foreigner ca to the internal dicine departnt accompanied by his entourage, and then waited in line outside with his number in hand.
As the middle-aged foreigner waited outside in line with his number, even the man with the air of an English butler showed a hint of anger on his face, as if he had suffered a great humiliation. On the contrary, the middle-aged foreigner had an expression of anticipation.
"Your Majesty, is this really necessary?" the butler finally couldn't help asking softly.
"In the presence of a doctor, I am just a patient," the middle-aged foreigner replied. And this middle-aged foreigner was none other than King Gustadin of Reel Country.
In the specialist clinic, Tang Yiyuan was treating a patient, while Ge Dongxu, He Duanrui, and others were observing from the side.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Ge Dongxu's lips. He patted He Duanrui's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Dr. He, arrange for a dical room, Gustadin has co. He's quite sensible, honestly getting a ticket and waiting in line respectfully."
Although He Duanrui was one of the few who knew that King Gustadin had co to Linzhou City specifically to see Ge Dongxu, the sudden ntion of Gustadin's arrival still caused him to shake involuntarily, his eyes showing a trace of shock.
He was astonished both by how Ge Dongxu knew Gustadin had co and that King Gustadin was actually queuing like an ordinary citizen.
Seeing the astonishnt on He Duanrui's face, Ge Dongxu smiled faintly and patted his shoulder again, "Go ahead."
He Duanrui then ca back to his senses and quickly left the clinic.
Not long after He Duanrui had left, he returned to inform Ge Dongxu that the dical room was ready.
Only then did Ge Dongxu also get up and leave the clinic, followed by Zhang Xiuwen and others. Only Tang Yiyuan stayed behind due to his duties in the clinic.
"Go invite Gustadin over," Ge Dongxu said to He Duanrui after they left the clinic.
"Your Majesty, welco to Linzhou City. I am Dr. He Duanrui, and Dr. Ge is my teacher. He already knows you have arrived and has specifically instructed to invite you over." Although Gustadin was wearing a hat and sunglasses, He Duanrui recognized him imdiately upon entering the waiting area due to the news he had received and because Gustadin had been appearing on the news broadcast these past few days.
He Duanrui spoke to King Gustadin in English. Most of the people in the waiting area who were there for treatnt were elderly and didn't understand what was said.
As for Gustadin's butler and bodyguards, they naturally understood and saw that although the King himself had co to register and wait in line, Ge Dongxu had rely sent a student to invite him, and they all looked at He Duanrui sowhat coldly.
"Thank you, Dr. He," Gustadin said, standing up with a look of surprise and reaching out to shake hands with He Duanrui.
"You're welco, Your Majesty. Please follow ," He Duanrui replied.
