When the Doctor Uses A Hack - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: Chapter 216: Geng Yan!
Chen Cang’s “Just discount it!” left Qian Lin completely dumbfounded.
Qian Lin had thought Chen Cang was a dedicated, hardworking, earnest, and serious person who didn’t crack jokes—a real role model, as one would expect of an academic whiz.
But here he was, encountering a joker!
Qian Lin waved his hands, “It’s not about the money!”
Chen Cang shifted in his seat, “I don’t have any romantic debts, and I don’t have a history of debauchery. Even if I did, the child wouldn’t be as big as you.”
Qian Lin blushed with shame. Damn, I’ve met my match… this guy is even thicker-skinned than me!
Thinking this, Qian Lin, afraid that Chen Cang might get the wrong idea, quickly said, “No, no, no, brother, listen to me. Qian Liang is my uncle!”
Chen Cang was stunned and swallowed hard. What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?
There are so many people with the surname Qian, why don’t you say your grandfather is Triple Qian? I might actually have believed that…
Qian Lin continued, “My uncle wanted me to apply for the graduate program under the female demon Meng Xi. Thanks to you, brother, you saved me from a dire situation, allowing me to escape the sea of suffering!”
Chen Cang was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Qian Lin, surprised, looked at Chen Cang, “You don’t know?”
Chen Cang looked clueless, “Know what?”
Chen Cang suddenly felt that he might lack an understanding of Meng Xi.
Qian Lin went on, “Hey, it seems you really don’t get it, or else you wouldn’t have brazenly gone to sign up with the female demon Meng Xi! Let me tell you about it so you’re forewarned. How tough is Director Meng? Definitely as tough as a calf, no question about it. But she’s too intense and too strict. I was under Director Meng for a month and I lost more than 20 pounds. Up early and out late, surgeries during the day, papers at night, even meal times were busy. It was such torment, I felt like I was falling apart…”
“I just want a peaceful time during graduate school, to find a partner, fall in love, get a stable job after graduating, have a chubby son, and live a simple life.”
“If I had followed Director Meng, wouldn’t my life be ruined? That’s why I’m so grateful.”
“So, brother, you saved me from a dire situation, how could I not be grateful?”
Chen Cang understood it then, that was the story.
However, compared to what he had received, what was this trivial matter?
After all, Director Meng had unlocked three skill trees for him, and those were purple skill trees, no less.
How could he not endure some hardships?
Moreover, he still had to work hard to win over Meng Xi, to gain her favor and continuously unlock new skills!
…
…
After a while, a teacher from the graduate student office came in, and it was naturally time to start explaining some matters, including the special training program, classes, and a whole series of work.
Chen Cang wasn’t too concerned, as his graduate studies were just for getting a degree. For his clinical training, he would stay at his own hospital, without the need to rotate departments.
As for classes, he could choose a few that interested him to attend.
Around four in the afternoon, the teacher made a temporary decision to appoint Qian Lin as class monitor.
Only then did Chen Cang realize that this chubby guy in front of him had actually scored more than four hundred points on the entrance exam?
This made Chen Cang believe more in the saying, when God closes a door, he nails it shut—you had better find a window early on…
The more talented they are, the more eccentric…
What pleased Chen Cang, though, was that among the twenty or so girls in the class, quite a few were good-looking. This made him look forward even more to his upcoming graduate student life.
After the small class meeting ended, everyone was to attend the hospital’s welcoming ceremony for new students.
The presence of Qian Lin made Chen Cang feel that the weather wasn’t so hot anymore; the big guy truly provided a shady spot for him, bringing a hint of coolness as they walked.
Really, it’s quite cool under a big fat guy.
Chen Cang had no interest in the afternoon induction ceremony, but Qian Lin was full of excitement.
“This is our school’s 60th-anniversary celebration. They’ve invited quite a few big names, as well as some outstanding seniors. Let’s go take a look.”
As soon as they entered the venue, Chen Cang saw Dong Jia wearing a red banner, probably to receive those alumni returning to the school.
Luo Zhou, on the other hand, was chatting with a group of people on the side—people Chen Cang was very familiar with, apparently all former classmates of his.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Chen Cang walk in!
“Damn! Cang Er, you’re here too?”
“Yeah! Haven’t seen you in a long time, where have you been hanging out?”
“Cang Er, you’re not the big shot our school invited to speak at the sixtieth anniversary, are you?”
A bunch of people started to make a fuss, and Qian Lin, who loved to join in the excitement, stood by and watched. His interest in Chen Cang was much stronger than in participating in the ceremony.
Chen Cang gave an embarrassed smile, “I am here to attend the mobilization meeting today, that’s correct!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately started jeering, “Wow, impressive, huh? Tell us, what have you done in these three years to reach the summit of life so quickly?”
“You didn’t get accepted for a Ph.D. at Xiehe, did you?”
Indeed, this time they had invited quite a few students who had been accepted into prestigious schools to spread positive energy.
Chen Cang cleared his throat and gave a sheepish smile, “I did get accepted!”
“But… it’s at our school as a graduate student!”
“I am here as a new student for the new student mobilization meeting!”
After Chen Cang finished speaking, everyone was first taken aback, then burst into laughter.
But no one made fun of Chen Cang; everyone was an adult, and at most, they would crack a joke.
“Come on, Cang Er, from now on you’ll have to address us as ‘senior.’”
“Right, right, right! Say it, let’s hear it!”
While the crowd was razzing him, Chen Cang suddenly stood up and turned his head, “I’m going to use the restroom.”
Everyone was taken aback, thinking Chen Cang might be upset.
But as they turned around, they suddenly saw a woman walking over.
Everyone paused for a moment.
The woman was walking beside a tall and large man, and they really looked like a handsome couple.
Luo Zhou’s face changed at once. Geng Yan?
Everyone was stunned as well.
Geng Yan was also here for the event?
No, that’s not right, who is the man beside Geng Yan? Geng Yan’s partner isn’t Chen Cang…
Suddenly, everyone realized why Chen Cang had gone to the restroom.
So that’s it…
Seeing everyone, Geng Yan happily walked over, “Luo Zhou, Qian Lin, you guys are here too?”
Luo Zhou nodded with a smile, “Geng Yan, long time no see.”
Geng Yan smiled, “Indeed, it’s been three years; time really flies.”
At that moment, a fashionably dressed girl approached, “Luo Zhou, you overlook me just because you saw the goddess? That’s too much.”
Luo Zhou looked up, “Xu Huihui? You’re here too? It looks like we can have a lively reunion this time.”
Geng Yan nodded with a smile, “Of course, after graduating from undergrad, we never really gathered together. We should make the most of this time.”
Xu Huihui looked at the tall, handsome, and refined man beside Geng Yan with encouragement, “Geng Yan, aren’t you going to introduce us? Who is this?”
Geng Yan smiled with happiness, “This is my husband, Jing Ran, who is also a senior alumnus from our school.”
Jing Ran greeted everyone with a suave smile, “Hello everyone, I am Jing Ran.”
People nodded in response, and at that moment, everyone knew who he was!
The legendary senior brother Jing Ran.
The same one, who during his undergraduate years had published two SCI papers, causing a sensation across the whole school. One of his proposed ideas was bought by a pharmaceutical company for nearly a million yuan. Later, he pursued his graduate studies at Xiehe and was recommended for direct admission to their doctoral program.
