The queue of people began to move. One by one, people erged, and Li Dayu heaved a sigh of relief. No chaos had ensued, which ant he, as the village chief, didn’t need to worry too much. Moreover, the people who ca out looked perfectly normal and were all praising "Doctor Wang" inside. This made Li Dayu feel even more reassured.
However, just as his heart had settled, it went on a roller coaster ride again. A high-end comrcial vehicle that had no business being in the village pulled up on the road just outside. The entrance was occupied by the clinic’s tent, so the vehicle couldn’t drive in and had to stop there. The luxury vehicle imdiately caught Li Dayu’s attention, but the people who got out truly stunned him.
Li Dayu cursed under his breath. Wang Jian is really playing a royal flush. He had thought no other doctors were coming to help, but unexpectedly, two famous old masters of Chinese dicine had shown up—n he had only ever seen on television. What was even more outrageous was that the two doctors were helping Cai Xing out of the vehicle, with Cai Wenji following closely behind.
What a spectacle... Li Dayu was at a loss for words. The phrase "holy hell" simply popped into his mind.
Then, Li Dayu was seen hurrying up to greet Cai Xing’s group. "Rare guests, truly rare guests! Welco, Mr. Cai, to our Paigou Village. I’m the village chief, Li Dayu. You can co to for anything. This is...?"
Li Dayu couldn’t fathom why Cai Xing was here. Cai Xing himself paused, not recognizing this Li Dayu at all. But since the man had introduced himself, he couldn’t just stand there silently. "Village Chief Li, please, no formalities," he said directly. "We just ca to see Doctor Wang’s free clinic. Don’t mind us; we’ll go in ourselves."
Li Dayu wouldn’t hear of it. "This way, this way!" he insisted, quickly leading them toward the tent. "Xiao Jian is seeing patients inside. You can all go straight in. It’ll be good to have you there to oversee things and prevent any mistakes."
That statent wasn’t wrong, either. When compared to Niu Deyuan, Wang Jian’s reputation was nothing, so having so support wouldn’t hurt.
And just like that, they went inside.
When the grandpas and grannies in line saw this, so of them imdiately grew displeased. Good heavens. We ca at the crack of dawn to line up, and these people get to just waltz straight in? What is this?
Grandpa Wang, who had a short temper, was just about to speak up and stop them when his grandson beside him held him back.
"Grandpa, don’t! That’s the owner of the Cai Group. He isn’t here to see the doctor."
Grandpa Wang was taken aback, as he didn’t recognize the man. "What? Cai Group? What’s that?"
His grandson replied with a wry smile, "They’re the ones who organized this free clinic."
"Oh!" Grandpa Wang’s eyes lit up in understanding. The surrounding crowd of seniors had been listening with pricked ears and reacted the sa way. For a mont, many of them started thanking Cai Xing and his companions as they walked past. This, in turn, caught Cai Xing’s group off guard.
Only Grandpa Wang was still muttering, "But I heard Doctor Wang organized it..."
His grandson explained again, "Grandpa, look at the signs on all the equipnt. They all say ’Cai Group.’ Doctor Wang from the clinic is the physician for the free event, that’s right, but all the expenses were covered by the Cai Group. It’s written on the pamphlets they just handed out."
At his words, the people who had been using the pamphlets as fans started to look down and read them. They then discovered that the pamphlets not only introduced the Cai Group and Doctor Wang but also contained useful dical tips for daily life. Many small things suddenly made sense to them, and they felt they had genuinely learned sothing new. A lively buzz stirred through the crowd.
Wang Jian had just seen a patient out. As the patient opened the door, he heard the commotion outside. He was still processing it when Cai Xing led the group in. Wang Jian was stunned but quickly got up to greet them.
He had originally intended to pay for the free clinic himself. After all, the salary the Cai Group gave him was more than enough to cover the costs. However, Cai Wenji had stepped in and taken care of all the expenses, a developnt Wang Jian was delighted to hear about.
Now, seeing both Cai Xing and Cai Wenji here, along with two other n who looked familiar but whose nas he couldn’t place, Wang Jian still hurried to his feet. "Chairman Cai, what... what brings you here in person?" This noisy, crowded place wasn’t suitable for soone with a heart condition. If sothing happened and he got agitated, it could be fatal.
"Ah, don’t you worry about ," Cai Xing said with a smile. After greeting Wang Jian, he imdiately gestured toward Niu Deyuan and Deng Xianhua. "Let introduce you to these two gentlen."
The mont Wang Jian heard their nas, he imdiately showed his respect. No wonder they looked familiar. He’d heard about them from a fellow student from his hotown back in university. The circle of Chinese dicine practitioners was actually quite small. Even if a practitioner hadn’t t the renowned experts in person, they would have certainly heard of their reputations and capabilities.
Mr. Niu Deyuan, on the surface, looked unremarkable. He had a kind and benevolent face, giving off the warmth of a neighborhood grandpa. Before he resigned from the top-tier hospital, Doctor Niu was a legendary figure, fad for having zero missed diagnoses and zero misdiagnoses. While such tales might be exaggerated, for them to circulate within the professional circle ant he was the real deal. That kind of reputation wasn’t sothing you could bluff your way into—not among peers, anyway.
While studying under his master, Wang Jian had heard about certain physicians who were not only highly skilled but also adept at communicating with patients. They could build a natural rapport, which encouraged patients to describe their symptoms more clearly, ensuring no detail was overlooked in the diagnosis. Moreover, this kind of approachable charisma wasn’t sothing that could be learned; it stemd entirely from personal cultivation and emotional intelligence.
As for the other man, Mr. Deng Xianhua, Wang Jian had heard of him as well. He was renowned for his secret acupuncture techniques and was another famous expert in their circle. His ability to save a life with three needles was no exaggeration. In fact, he was the only Chinese dicine expert to have truly made a na for himself in an ergency departnt. Unfortunately, he later resigned and joined the Cai Group.
Wang Jian truly hadn’t expected to et these two titans here. He imdiately clasped his hands in a fist-and-palm salute and respectfully addressed them both as "Teacher."
Such a gesture was uncommon among students nowadays. This traditional etiquette was really only rembered by the older generation. Because of this, their first impression of Wang Jian was excellent. Niu Deyuan and Deng Xianhua exchanged a glance, both seeing the appreciation in the other’s eyes. They had expected to find an impatient young man. Instead, not only was he completely composed, but he had also greeted them, his elders, with a traditional salute.
Niu Deyuan smiled and spoke first. "Xiao Wang, no need to be so formal. Lao Deng and I just ca to have a look. With us here, you can focus on your patients without any reservations."
After speaking, Niu Deyuan and Deng Xianhua wasted no ti. They found a place to sit off to the side, taking care not to occupy the consultation space or make any unnecessary conversation. Cai Xing and Cai Wenji did the sa.
This left Li Dayu as the most awkward person in the room. The scene unfolding before him sent his mind into a whirlwind. After shooting Wang Jian a confused look, he excused himself, letting the next patient in on his way out.
The new patient who entered was none other than Grandpa Wang, the man who had been about to chew them out for cutting the line.
Grandpa Wang was from the neighboring Red Star Village. Red Star Bridge was in his village and served as a major transportation artery in the nearby mountains. There was nothing visibly wrong with Grandpa Wang. He had been dragged here by his grandson, whose main goal was to take advantage of the free clinic for a checkup. The villagers rarely had the opportunity for a physical examination. When Grandpa Wang’s grandson, who was ho for sumr vacation, heard about the free clinic, he didn’t hesitate to bring his grandfather over.
After entering, Grandpa Wang casually sat down where Wang Jian directed him.
"Doctor Wang," he began, "we share the sa surna, you know! I don’t really have any problems. It’s my grandson, Wang Li, who insisted on dragging here. Just give a quick look-over."
Wang Jian was taken aback. There’s no such thing as a ’quick look-over’ in a dical consultation. He shot a questioning glance at the young man standing beside the grandpa.
Wang Li explained helplessly, "My grandpa often complains of chest tightness, and lately, he hasn’t been sleeping well at night. Could you please take a look, Doctor?"
His words, however, seed to displease Grandpa Wang, who clarified, "It only happens occasionally, not often!"
Wang Jian nodded, raising a hand to begin the pulse diagnosis. At the sa ti, he observed Grandpa Wang’s facial features and complexion. The old man hadn’t seed unusual when he walked in, but upon sitting down, he had subconsciously touched his chest, making a soothing gesture. This action, combined with what Wang Li had said, painted a consistent picture.
Wang Jian grew cautious. Anyti symptoms involved chest tightness, it was unlikely to be a simple issue.
Nearby, Niu Deyuan and Deng Xianhua also began to observe carefully.
If nothing else, Wang Jian’s diagnostic manner was impeccable. He was remarkably seasoned, giving off the impression of an old Chinese dicine practitioner with years of clinical experience. But that was impossible. They had heard he only graduated a year ago and couldn’t possibly have that kind of background.
