Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Genuinely Convinced

Yu Zhiming followed the dean’s secretary, He Yingjun, to a small conference room on the seventh floor of the hospital’s main administrative building.

He saw two men and a woman waiting for him there.

The leader of the group was a square-faced man who looked to be nearly fifty, his expression impassive.

He first looked Yu Zhiming up and down appraisingly, then said in a cool voice, "Dr. Yu Zhiming, I am Duan Chao, Deputy Director of the Municipal Ministry of Health’s Disciplinary Committee."

"I assume you’re aware of why we’ve asked you to come in for questioning today, aren’t you?"

Yu Zhiming nodded lightly.

Duan Chao continued, "Dr. Yu, you are a young doctor who was brought into Huashan Hospital with an exceptionally generous talent recruitment package."

"Dean Li has sung your medical skills to the high heavens, saying you can diagnose a person’s internal organ problems without any external aids—not even a stethoscope."

"But hearing is one thing, and seeing is another."

"Dr. Yu, if your medical skills are truly as miraculous as Dean Li claims, then all of this will simply go away."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Zhiming nodded lightly once more.

Next, Yu Zhiming watched as Duan Chao climbed onto the small, round conference table and lay down on his back.

Yu Zhiming immediately understood what the man wanted.

He took a pair of spare surgical gloves from the pocket of his white coat and put them on.

Yu Zhiming walked over to the conference table, reached out, and began to gently tap and press on Duan Chao’s body...

"The heart... you’ve had bypass surgery. It bypassed a blockage in the anterior descending artery."

Yu Zhiming’s words made Duan Chao raise an eyebrow.

This test of Yu Zhiming’s abilities, using his own body, had been a spur-of-the-moment decision by Duan Chao.

He didn’t believe anyone could have predicted this and leaked his medical history to this kid beforehand.

But with just a few light taps and presses, the kid had figured out he’d had heart bypass surgery.

’This skill is the real deal, not just empty boasts.’

Duan Chao was just about to offer a word of praise, but Yu Zhiming’s next sentence sent a chill down his spine.

"Your circumflex artery isn’t looking too good either. The narrowest point is over fifty percent constricted. The risk of blockage is very high..."

Duan Chao immediately decided to take this opportunity and let the young man give him a full examination.

But it wasn’t long before he heard a diagnosis of a private matter he would rather not have others know about.

"Enlarged prostate. It’s somewhat severe."

"Director Duan, have you been experiencing distinct symptoms like frequent, urgent, and incomplete urination?"

Duan Chao couldn’t stay lying down any longer. He quickly rolled over and got off the conference table.

He saw Xiaoliu standing to the side, his face taut as he struggled to maintain a serious expression and not react.

With a dark expression, Duan Chao ordered, "Xiaoliu, you get up there and let Dr. Yu examine you too."

As a low-ranking subordinate, the tall and thin Xiaoliu quickly obeyed his leader’s command and lay down on the conference table.

Yu Zhiming quickly diagnosed Xiaoliu’s problem.

"Your stomach... it gives you a lot of trouble?"

Xiaoliu replied in a hurry, "Yes, yes, exactly!"

"I went to university in Sichuan Province. Back then, I was young and foolish, and I went through a phase of eating tons of hot pot. It completely wrecked my stomach with all the spice. I got pretty sick from it."

"Ever since then, I can’t drink alcohol or eat anything too flavorful or hard to digest."

"Even when I eat an apple, I have to chew it slowly and carefully, so I don’t swallow a piece that’s too big and overworks my stomach."

"For a stomach condition like mine, Dr. Yu, is there anything you can do?"

Meeting Xiaoliu’s expectant gaze, Yu Zhiming answered honestly, "My greatest strength is in diagnosis."

"When it comes to treatment, there’s still a considerable gap between me and the other Chief Physicians."

After Yu Zhiming said this, he was surprised to hear Duan Chao speak up in his defense.

"For a doctor as young as Dr. Yu to have achieved such excellence in diagnostics is already incredibly rare."

"You don’t need to be too harsh on yourself about other areas..."

Xiaoliu was a young man of thirty. Aside from his difficult-to-treat stomach problem, his other internal organs were quite healthy.

After he got off the conference table, the only woman in the group, Chief Xiao Yajun, who was in her early forties, also voluntarily climbed onto the table and lay down.

And Yu Zhiming did indeed find a problem with her.

It was just that this problem...

After careful consideration, Yu Zhiming said, "Director Duan, Comrade Liu, would you mind stepping out for a moment?"

"There are some private matters concerning a female comrade that I need to discuss with Chief Xiao alone."

The moment Duan Chao heard this, he started to lead the way out, but Xiao Yajun stopped him.

"There’s no need to leave."

"Dr. Yu, there’s nothing that can’t be said in front of others."

"As a state official, even if I am sick, I cannot conceal things from the organization."

"Dr. Yu, whatever you’ve found, just say it directly. Even if it’s cancer, I can take it."

Seeing her insistence, Yu Zhiming said, a little hesitantly, "Chief Xiao, you might be pregnant."

"What? Pregnant?"

Xiao Yajun let out a cry, shot upright, and grabbed Yu Zhiming’s arm.

Her grip was so strong it made Yu Zhiming’s arm ache.

"Dr. Yu, are you sure? I... I... I... really... Am I really...?"

"Am I really... pregnant?"

It was hard to tell if Xiao Yajun was nervous or excited; her face was flushed, and she was stammering.

Seeing her like this, Yu Zhiming was even more hesitant to speak.

The worldly Duan Chao instantly understood Yu Zhiming’s hesitation and explained, "Chief Xiao’s daughter passed away in an accident a few years ago."

"For the past few years, Chief Xiao has been wanting to have another child."

Hearing this, Yu Zhiming’s heart was instantly put at ease.

As long as it wasn’t an inappropriate pregnancy, everything was fine!

He stated with absolute certainty, "Chief Xiao, you are definitely pregnant. I’m especially skilled at this type of diagnosis. There’s absolutely no mistake. You’re about four weeks along."

"I really have another child..."

Xiao Yajun caressed her lower abdomen, tears streaming down her face before she even realized it...

Seeing her like this, Duan Chao couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.

He looked at Yu Zhiming and said with approval, "Dr. Yu, your performance has proven that you are absolutely qualified to receive Huashan Hospital’s high-level talent recruitment package."

After a moment’s pause, Duan Chao added, "A tall tree in the forest is bound to face the wind and rain. I hope you can handle this correctly and continue to strive forward on your medical path."

Yu Zhiming declared, "I am fortunate to be working at Huashan Hospital. It’s a great opportunity for me to improve."

"I won’t back down easily just because of some gossip."

Duan Chao nodded in satisfaction. "By tomorrow at the latest, our investigative team will issue a detailed public report specifically about your talent recruitment."

"Before that, we need to get a more detailed understanding of your personal background."

"Dr. Yu, I heard that you were blind until the age of thirteen?"

This inquiry into Yu Zhiming’s personal history lasted for over an hour, finally ending at eleven-thirty in the morning.

When Yu Zhiming left the small conference room, he had also been forced to accept a new "older sister."

Xiao Yajun had authoritatively told him that from this day forward, she, as his older sister, would protect him.

If anyone dared to bully Yu Zhiming for no reason, she, as his sister, would definitely back him up and put them in their place...

When Yu Zhiming returned to the main office of the center, he saw Zhou Mo, her face alight with excitement, hurrying over to him with a bounce in her step.

"Dr. Yu, that challenger, Cai Haowen, backed down!"

"I made a special effort to look into it. Yesterday afternoon, he scheduled a clinic session for today with the outpatient department."

"But this morning, he canceled it."

"He must have heard about your clinical results from yesterday, realized he was nowhere near your level, and chickened out to avoid embarrassing himself!"

"I seriously despise him!" Zhou Mo said with a look of disdain.

Yu Zhiming just hummed in acknowledgment, then watched as Zhou Mo’s expression immediately shifted to one of adoration. She exclaimed, glowing with vicarious pride, "Dr. Yu, did you know?"

"Those two outpatients you specially flagged have been officially diagnosed—one with lung cancer and one with kidney cancer, and both were in the early stages."

"And, and..."

Zhou Mo’s cheeks were flushed red with excitement, making her look more radiant than any flower.

"The comparison analyses between the diagnostic sketches you drew and the patients’ actual medical scans are going viral in several of the hospital’s work groups."

"Your nickname, the ’Human CT Scanner,’ has followed you from the county hospital all the way to us here at Huashan Hospital."

"Dr. Yu, now everyone in the groups is completely convinced you deserve that nickname. No one is questioning it anymore..."
