Chapter 602 Another Encounter with President Fang
“Victory is within reach!”
Lu Jian clenched his fists and said confidently.
During this period, he had been studying medicine with Chen Xuan. Although it hadn't been long, he had learned more than in ten years of studying with Old Lu.
Old Lu smiled and said, “With Mr. Chen here this year, I’ll be happy with second place.”
Despite saying this, it was clear that Old Lu was very confident and no longer regarded Old Huang, the Medicine King of Jiangnan, as a threat.
It was known that every time Old Huang was mentioned before, Old Lu would speak with trepidation and deep respect, showing how confident he had become in his own medical skills after his recent studies.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, “With you two, I won’t be participating in the medical conference competition.”
He disliked being in the spotlight. Moreover, in his opinion, medicine’s purpose was to save lives and cure illnesses, not to compete.
“Mr. Chen, why aren’t you participating?” Old Lu asked in surprise.
In fact, Chen Xuan had not intended to participate in the Medicine King competition from the beginning. Now that he had nurtured Old Lu and Lu Jian, winning the championships in the youth division and the Medicine King competition was enough. Why should he appear?
“You two are enough,” Chen Xuan said calmly.
Old Lu’s heart stirred, and his emotions became instantly excited.
Mr. Chen must be worried about stealing their spotlight, which is why he refused to participate.
“Mr. Chen, I, Lu, will remember your kindness,” Old Lu said emotionally.
That was the title of Medicine King; Chen Xuan didn’t even care about that, truly embodying the demeanor of a great physician!
After a brief chat, Chen Xuan led Old Lu and Lu Jian into the inner rooms for their final study session.
Half an hour later, Old Lu, who had briefly left to see a patient, rushed back, his expression grave. “Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, a child has developed post-operative complications. Please come and see him quickly!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately stood up without hesitation, as human life was at stake.
“Let’s go, we can talk as we walk.”
Then, Old Lu led Chen Xuan out.
On the way, Chen Xuan learned from Old Lu that a child had been brought in earlier. The child was born with anal atresia, meaning he had no anus. He had undergone surgery to correct this condition, but for some reason, post-operative complications had arisen, causing the child to have a persistent high fever.
The hospital was unable to treat him and had told the child's parents to prepare for the worst. However, the parents refused to give up and came to the Ren Xin Medical Clinic.
“Mr. Chen, this child is truly at death’s door,” Old Lu reminded him.
“I understand,” Chen Xuan nodded calmly.
Soon, Chen Xuan and Old Lu arrived at the main hall.
In the hall stood an anxious couple.
The husband was holding a baby swaddled in his arms. The child’s cries were strange and weak, as if he were about to breathe his last. His forehead was burning hot, and his little face was flushed red.
Seeing Old Lu emerge from the back hall, they hurried over.
“Divine Doctor Lu, if you can save my child, I will repay you with my life, working like an ox or a horse!”
The wife immediately knelt before Old Lu, weeping uncontrollably.
The husband also pleaded, “Yes, Divine Doctor Lu, I have money, I have money! If you can save my son, I’ll give you one million, no, two million in consultation fees!”
A few years ago, the husband had discovered he had fertility issues, making the probability of conceiving very low.
He had already given up hope of having children, but unexpectedly, his wife became pregnant not long after.
He had gone through immense hardship to have a son and did not want his son to die prematurely!
Let alone two million, he would even willingly pay five million.
“I truly cannot save your son, but this Mr. Chen might be able to try.”
Old Lu pointed to Chen Xuan, not making any definitive promises, as he himself didn't know if Chen Xuan could cure him.
Upon hearing this, the husband suddenly looked at Chen Xuan and, upon recognizing him, his heart skipped a beat. He was full of surprise and exclaimed, “How is it you?”
Chen Xuan saw the husband and chuckled, saying teasingly, “President Fang, I didn't expect to meet you here!”
This husband was none other than President Fang, the large contractor Chen Xuan had encountered at Xiao Tangshan and Tianwangshan.
President Fang heard this and felt immensely awkward.
He never imagined that Chen Xuan would be a doctor with the potential to save his son.
He glanced at his precious son, who was on the verge of death in his arms, and made a determined vow:
“Mr. Chen, I hope you can save my son. If you save my son, I will immediately pay the wages owed to the migrant workers, and as for me, you can beat or scold me as you please!”
It must be said, although President Fang was somewhat detestable as a person, he treated his son quite well.
This was understandable, as even a tiger would not eat its cubs.
Moreover, this might be his last son, and he did not want to be without an heir.
President Fang’s wife, Li Yuting, also sensed that Chen Xuan had a conflict with President Fang. She quickly said, “Mr. Chen, if you can save my son, I will definitely have Old Fang come to your door to apologize.”
“Please save my son!”
Saying this, Li Yuting kowtowed several times to Chen Xuan.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan said, “Alright. Although your husband is a bit detestable, your son has done nothing wrong. This is a living life, and I will naturally not stand by and watch him die!”
Li Yuting was instantly relieved and extremely grateful to Chen Xuan.
President Fang felt a pang of unease at Chen Xuan’s words.
“Bring your son over here, let me take a look,” Chen Xuan said, looking at President Fang.
President Fang quickly got up from the ground and placed the child, swaddled in his arms, in front of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan opened the swaddle and saw that the child had many bruises, his whole body was burning hot, and his limbs were swollen. It was indeed post-operative complications from anal atresia surgery. If not treated within an hour, the child would surely die.
“Mr. Chen, how is it?” President Fang asked anxiously.
Chen Xuan looked at President Fang and said, “It can be treated.”
“That’s wonderful!”
Joyful expressions appeared on the faces of President Fang and his wife, Li Yuting.
“President Fang, however, I need you to do me a favor.”
“What favor? Forget one favor, I’ll do ten favors for you.”
“No, just one is enough.”
“Please tell me directly.”
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and pointed to a large willow tree outside the door. He said, “President Fang, please take off your clothes later and rub your back against the trunk of the willow tree until the tree bark reaches forty degrees Celsius before stopping.”
“What? You want me to strip naked and rub against a willow tree?”
President Fang was stunned.
He looked at Chen Xuan with a strange expression.
What kind of medical treatment was this?
Was this guy taking revenge?
“Are you unwilling to go?” Chen Xuan said coldly.
President Fang hesitated.
This method did not sound like medical treatment at all; it sounded more like humiliation.
“Why aren’t you hurrying? Listen to the doctor!”
Although President Fang was a bit of a scoundrel, his wife was quite sensible.
President Fang glanced at his child, gritted his teeth, took off his jacket, and rushed out.
