When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 178: 179:1 Suspect You Are Bullying Me for Being Uneducated (Vote for Monthly Ticket)



Wang Qian stared at Qin Yue as if he were looking at a young cow, “Qin Yue? How come 1 never noticed how awesome you are before?”

Qin Yue felt somewhat embarrassed by the compliment, “Actually… my contribution to the paper wasn’t that significant. My teacher revised a ton for me, plus Professor Wu did the translation. Even getting the paper published was a favor my teacher called in!”

“So! Chen Cang, wouldn’t it weigh on your conscience if you didn’t treat us to a meal?”

Chen Cang searched on his phone for a long time but couldn’t find anything about “Liver Transplant” on Baidu everything was about how much a liver transplant cost, whether the surgery was difficult, and whether one could eat after it…

Chen Cang looked at Qin Yue and Wang Qian with suspicion, “I’m starting to suspect you two are conniving to dupe me, a man without much culture.”

Wang Yong nodded, “I think so too…”

After coming out from Haidilao, Chen Cang looked grievously at Qin Yue, “Don’t you look at the price when you order?”

Qin Yue patted her round belly, “Of course I do, but I don’t when you are the one treating.”

Chen Cang sighed, “You should change your name. What Qin Yue? More like ‘Beast’!”

Wang Qian laughed, “Cang Er, you’re now the richest among the four of us. We’re still scraping by on our salaries, and here you are throwing knives for a living. If you don’t rob the rich to help the poor, we’d feel too guilty!”

Wang Yong remained silent, lately playing the supporter role had been so comfortable. Chen Cang developed so well, and thanks to that, his own mix of support items had transformed from Doran’s into Infinity Edge. Could a Bloodthirster be far off?

That afternoon, Chen Cang didn’t go to the hospital but went home to prepare his materials and headed straight to Dongyang Medical University. As Chen Cang’s alma mater, he was very familiar with the place.

It had been three years since his last visit, but it seemed unchanged.

Entering the campus and seeing the scattered students on the way, Chen Cang suddenly felt as if he had aged a lot, as if he no longer fit in here. His perspective of these students was like looking at a bunch of kids. It had been three years since he’d graduated…

College life lasted five years, not a day more, not a day less.

From immaturity to greenness, from confusion to even greater confusion.

In college, Chen Cang learned a lot, but at graduation, he realized he had lost even more.

As he watched students and juniors walking across campus on their way to afternoon classes, Chen Cang felt an intense wave of nostalgia.

This is his alma mater, the place that holds five years of memories.

Although it couldn’t be considered a prestigious institute with many honors, a son never despises his mother’s looks, a dog never shuns a poor family.

Walking through the crowds, Chen Cang soon arrived at the office of the director of the graduate department in the administrative building.

After knocking on the door.

“Come in!”

The voice was young and familiar, not sounding over forty. Pushing the door open, Chen Cang saw a familiar face sitting there.

“Mr. Guan???” Chen Cang said in surprise!

Guan Wei laughed heartily, “Surprised?”

Chen Cang smiled, “Mr. Guan… Damn, you made it big, huh? You’re the director of the graduate department now?”

Guan Wei nodded and gestured for Chen Cang to sit down, “Have a seat, haha. When Dean Qin gave me your information the other day, 1 was taken aback for a moment, thinking it was someone with the same name. 1 didn’t expect it to actually be you!”

Chen Cang had a good relationship with Guan Wei. Guan Wei was both an instructor and also handled the work of the Youth League Committee for the clinical department, while Chen Cang was the class monitor and also the leader of the class’s Youth League.

The two of them had plenty of interaction, and Chen Cang’s drinking habits were also influenced by Guan Wei’s mentorship.

Guan Wei was modest and down-to-earth, often mingling with the students, casually sitting down with them for conversations, meals, and drinks.

Chen Cang didn’t expect that in just three years of absence, Guan Wei would have become the director of the graduate department.

Thinking about this, Chen Cang laughed and said, “Mr. Guan, congratulations on the promotion. Now I have to bow down to you again. You must take good care of me.”

Guan Wei laughed and pointed at Chen Cang, playfully scolding, “You kid, when 1 recommended you for direct admission to graduate school, you didn’t take it, and now look at you.”

Chen Cang also laughed, “Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! At that time, my financial situation didn’t allow it, and you know about my family’s circumstances.”

Guan Wei nodded, “Alright, let’s get the formalities done first. We’ll meet up tonight, the usual place. This time, you’re treating.”

Chen Cang laughed heartily, “No problem, 1’11 make sure everyone’s well-fed!”

Chen Cang was inherently honest and straightforward, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and worked efficiently, which made him quite likable over time.

In less than an hour, Guan Wei personally helped Chen Cang complete the data entry.

“I always knew it, Chen, you can shine anywhere if you put in the effort. Look how well you’re doing now, Dean Qin took the initiative to pull strings for you. Not just anyone can do that. It’s not like before; direct graduate admissions are becoming increasingly rare. I reckon Dean Qin must have spent quite an effort,” Guan Wei said with a smile.

Chen Cang nodded. Although he didn’t know why Qin Xiaoyuan had taken the initiative to promise him a grad school opportunity, he would remember this favor in his heart regardless.

There are no uncaused goods and bads; relationships between people are mutual.

Guan Wei suddenly smiled, “You and Geng Yan are getting married soon, no?” Chen Cang was taken aback and then smiled, “We broke up after graduation.” Guan Wei was momentarily dumbfounded, “Broke up? Oh… you did?” “It’s common, breakup season comes with graduation. It happened, now it’s over. You’re doing well now, with a regular position at the provincial hospital. How about I set you up with someone? Our university hired a bunch of young people last year; there are a few nice girls among them, even PhDs. Pairing up with a university lecturer might be more relaxed. Otherwise, if both spouses are in clinical practice, no one takes care of the home.”

When Chen Cang heard this, he was, to be honest, somewhat tempted.

Guan Wei made sense. If both were clinical doctors, who would take care of the kids in the future?

It seemed somewhat irresponsible for the children, whereas being a university lecturer seemed not bad at all prestigious work, two holidays, a relaxed job, and one would need a PhD to become a university teacher, right? The children’s education would surely be well provided for.

Chen Cang laughed at the thought, “I’m just a lowly bachelor’s degree holder; would they even consider me?”

Guan Wei shook his head, “I’ve got just a bachelor’s degree too, and isn’t my wife a PhD? It doesn’t matter for men whether you do a PhD or not, what counts is ability.”

“How about you look among your university classmates? Many from your class are now graduate students at our university. They must have graduated by now, too. 1 wonder how they’re doing in their job search?”

“Nowadays, jobs are hard to come by; there are tons of grad students whose aspirations exceed their abilities. They can’t get into good hospitals, and they don’t want to go to ordinary ones. But look at you, kid, you didn’t go to grad school, but you’ve settled your job placement. In hindsight, you’re one of the few who’ve actually done well.”

Chen Cang sighed. It was all… coincidences.

That evening, he had a few beers with Guan Wei. By the time he got home, it was past ten o’clock. After washing up, he lay in bed and soon fell into a slumber.

In his dreams, he saw many things.

There were those humble dreams tucked away under his pillow that had gradually grown moldy over the years.

His dreams were filled with people he once yearned for but never belonged to him.

Those who leave me cannot be retained!

Those who disturb my peace bring much vexation on this day!

A strong breeze and towering waves will come in time; 1 shall hang my sails and cross the vast seas!
