Urban Super Medical Saint

"Dare to call me stingy? Come on, hubby will take you to..." Ge Dongxu, seeing Liu Jiayao giggling nonstop, wrapped an arm around her sexy waist, feeling indignant, and declared, "the supermarket!"

"Giggle! You bad guy!" Liu Jiayao, as Ge Dongxu indignantly spat out the words "supermarket," first froze for a moment and then promptly began to beat him with her small fists while laughing so hard that her limbs shook.

In their playful scuffle, Ge Dongxu parked the bicycle and then the pair, holding hands, walked to the supermarket together.

Fortunately, Liu Jiayao was always low-key, never appearing on any shows or in newspapers, and there was even less need to mention Ge Dongxu. Otherwise, if people knew that this couple, walking to the supermarket, and then pushing a cart in the vegetable and meat section picking out food—a stunning beauty and a handsome guy, one the boss of a cosmetics company, the other the largest shareholder of several major companies—it would have immediately caused a huge commotion.

They bought some groceries, snacks, and daily necessities at the supermarket, then hand in hand, they went home.

Once home, Ge Dongxu naturally took care of the kitchen, while Liu Jiayao periodically fed him some fruit and snacks at his side.

After enjoying their dinner, the two strolled along the Jinglin River for a while before returning to their apartment, and then enticing moans and gasps sounded in the bedroom...

Late at night, during the Chinese Hour of the Rat, Ge Dongxu gently kissed the sleeping Liu Jiayao, who was exhausted at his side, got dressed quietly, and left the main bedroom. He then went to the terrace, arranged the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade all around, and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Yatu Apartments were built along the Jinglin River, surrounded by lush green trees and flowing water, a rare oasis of cleaner air amidst the bustling city.

Under the moonlight, the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Talismans Jade flickered faintly, corresponding distantly to the Big Dipper embedded in the night sky.

Bits of stellar essence fell from the starry heavens, gathered by the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation and swirling around Ge Dongxu.

Under the night sky, if someone approached Ge Dongxu, they would find his body shimmering with radiant light, exuding an especially solemn and majestic aura that unconsciously commanded respect and worship.

True Qi circulated endlessly through the Twelve Regular Meridians.

With each circulation, the True Qi grew stronger, nourishing the Meridians and organs, finally converging in the Dantian.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" His heart, already forming an Air Cyclone both inside and out, beat with more force than ever before, as if a great drum was being struck inside him.

A Chinese Hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Ge Dongxu slowly opened his eyes.

Today's cultivation, like the recent period, had no significant breakthrough, nor did it have the successive breakthroughs like after experiencing Unity of Heaven and Man before. Instead, it was a steady progress, showing no sign of hitting a bottleneck.

This made Ge Dongxu feel very fortunate.

Because in this era of the Dharma's decline, steady daily progress in cultivation was a luxury for the vast majority of Cultivators, let alone for someone like him who continued to advance steadily after reaching his current Realm.

If this could continue, perhaps by next year, I would reach the Tenth Layer of Qi Cultivation. By then, I wonder if these Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Talismans Jade will still support such steady progress. If not, I fear I'll have to search for Spiritual Medicine and start Alchemy.

With these thoughts in mind, Ge Dongxu stood up and silently returned to the bedroom.

...

Since many doctors at Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals need to see patients or have research, teaching, and other duties, in order not to delay patient care and normal work, the department of internal medicine holds its monthly meetings on the last Monday at noon each month.

And October was no exception.

On Monday at noon, the doctors of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine finished their shifts, hurriedly had their meals, and then went to the conference room.

Today was the monthly routine meeting for the Department, not only was Cai Bomming, the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, present, but even Feng Yaping, the president of the Jiangnan Province University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, had also arrived.

Such high-level attendance, particularly the personal presence of President Feng Yaping, left everyone in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine feeling an indescribable surprise and shock.

Could it be that there was an important personnel announcement about to be made?

Many were quietly speculating, but felt it unlikely as there had not been any hints beforehand. Moreover, to prompt President Feng Yaping to come personally, any significant personnel change would likely involve a change in the department head position.

And the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine was Tang Yiyuan.

Tang Yiyuan was originally highly skilled in medicine, and his medical skills had become increasingly formidable over the years, so much so that even the senior professors and traditional Chinese medicine doctors had quietly conceded their inferiority, offering deep respect.

Unless he was planning to leave of his own accord, the school and the hospital would be eager to retain him, and it would be impossible to ease him out of his position without good reason.

And for those in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine who interacted with him every day, if Tang Yiyuan had any change in his position, it was impossible that there wouldn't be a hint of information leaked.

The attendees couldn't figure it out.

Even Chang Yufeng, who had a father as vice-president, couldn't understand it either, since his father had never mentioned any major personnel changes in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine.

Though he couldn't make sense of it, the presence of President Feng and President Cai made Chang Yufeng secretly pleased.

He had been worried that if he brought up Ge Dongxu's issue during the monthly routine meeting, and if Tang Yiyuan insisted on covering for Ge Dongxu, even with the presence of Lin Wenhong and others, it would likely be hard to shake Tang Yiyuan's authority.

But with President Feng and President Cai present, the situation was naturally entirely different, especially President Feng. As the head of the entire school, even President Cai was a subordinate to her, and her husband was the governor of Jiangnan Province—her authority at Jiangnan Province University of Traditional Chinese Medicine was absolutely unmatchable.

Once he brought the matter to light, with professors and associate professors like Lin Wenhong speaking against Ge Dongxu, even Tang Yiyuan would find it difficult to outright protect Ge Dongxu in front of President Feng and President Cai.

The meeting began as soon as everyone had arrived.

To everyone's great surprise, the meeting started without Tang Yiyuan asking President Feng and President Cai to speak, instead following the procedure of a regular meeting.

First, Tang Yiyuan gave an overview of the Department's operations over the past month, briefly commented on some doctors' work, and then let the doctors report their situations or put forward suggestions or ideas.

After Tang Yiyuan finished speaking, the doctors all looked at each other, feeling something was amiss.

Could it be that President Feng and President Cai were so idle? They had specifically come to sit in and listen to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine's monthly routine meeting?

After a brief awkward silence, people began to stand up and report on their work. Chang Yufeng, though eager to bring up Ge Dongxu's issue at once, also knew that if he rushed, it could make Tang Yiyuan and others feel that he had ulterior motives, so he temporarily refrained and listened to other doctors' reports.

After about three or four individuals had spoken, Chang Yufeng could not hold back any longer and raised his hand.

"I have a suggestion," Chang Yufeng said after Tang Yiyuan nodded to signal. "I believe our Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Internal Medicine should strengthen guidance and management of intern doctors. For those who lack discipline and dedication, who are arrogant in their actions and disobey their mentors' commands, we must decisively discipline them. Otherwise, it is very easy to corrupt the ethos of our Department."
