Although Wu Potian was very young and had been expelled from the medical university, because the hospital's experts were at a loss about the condition of Zhang Qiming's father, and due to Wu Potian's performance and words in the emergency room that morning, in a situation with no other options, human侥幸 psychology instinctively made Zhang Qiming regard Wu Potian as the last straw to cling to for survival.

Therefore, when Zhang Qiming learned that Wu Potian had agreed to come to the hospital, he was undoubtedly very happy and spontaneously praised Chen Zengguang, "Xiao Chen! Is what you said true? Wu Potian really agreed to come to the hospital? Good! You did a great job with this matter."

Half an hour later, Qiu Jinbo and Wu Potian arrived at the People's Hospital by car. When the car stopped at the hospital's main entrance, Zhou Zetao, who had been waiting there, immediately stepped forward and introduced Qiu Jinbo warmly, "Old Qiu! Let me introduce you, this is our hospital's President Chen."

"President Chen! This is my old classmate, Professor Qiu Jinbo from the Medical University!"

Upon hearing Qiu Jinbo's introduction, Chen Zengguang hurriedly walked forward, extended his hand to shake Qiu Jinbo's, and greeted him warmly, "Professor Qiu! Hello! Welcome to our hospital for guidance."

Qiu Jinbo knew that Chen Zengguang was being polite to him because of Wu Potian, which made him feel very proud. He humbly replied, "President Chen! Hello! I'm not a city leader, so I don't dare to give guidance."

Chen Zengguang smiled awkwardly upon hearing Qiu Jinbo's response and said to Wu Potian, "Xiao Wu! Welcome back to our big family."

Wu Potian was very clear about Chen Zengguang's ulterior motives for inviting him back to the hospital. Since he had no intention of continuing to work at the hospital, he naturally did not have a good attitude towards Chen Zengguang, who wanted to use him. He replied indifferently, "President Chen! I'm here today because of my teacher. After I help the patient, I hope you won't disturb my life again."

Seeing Wu Potian's indifferent expression, Chen Zengguang's face immediately turned awkward. In the past, if Wu Potian had dared to treat him like this, he would have immediately made Wu Potian leave. However, at this moment, he could only suppress his inner anger, as Wu Potian still had value to him.

To avoid the awkward situation, Chen Zengguang deliberately changed the subject and introduced the situation to Wu Potian, "Xiao Wu! Mr. Zhang has been sent to the ICU. Since you saved him, he has been in a coma and shows no signs of waking up."

Wu Potian, who had diagnosed the patient that morning, naturally knew the real reason why the patient was still in a coma. When he heard Chen Zengguang's introduction and thought about the faces of the doctors in the hospital, he could not help but mock, "The patient's respiratory and circulatory centers have been interrupted for too long. Not only is it unlikely that he will wake up now, but if no timely measures are taken, the patient may not last three days."

Chen Zengguang, of course, was very clear about the patient's condition, which was why he had offered such a high price to invite Wu Potian. However, when he heard Wu Potian's words, his face immediately showed shock. After all, their diagnostic results were obtained through various instruments, and Wu Potian had merely taken the patient's pulse to understand the condition so thoroughly, which could not help but surprise and confuse him.

Considering that Wu Potian was the key to his promotion, Chen Zengguang instinctively put aside his presidential demeanor and asked Wu Potian seriously, "Xiao Wu! We have conducted a consultation on Mr. Zhang's condition, and the results are exactly the same as your diagnosis. However, due to Mr. Zhang's age, we are concerned that he cannot withstand surgery. Do you have a foolproof treatment plan?"

"President Chen! I'm just a temporary worker who was expelled from school. Are you asking the wrong person?" Chen Zengguang's willingness to humble himself and seek his advice made him extremely admiring of Chen Zengguang's flexibility. However, considering that Chen Zengguang's ultimate goal was to use him, he did not change his attitude because of Chen Zengguang's behavior. Instead, he asked sarcastically.

Chen Zengguang's facial muscles immediately twitched upon hearing Wu Potian's counter-question. He felt as if something was blocking his chest and replied with a forced smile, "Xiao Wu! I know you have grievances with our hospital, so I apologize again. Actually, there's something you don't know. The doctor responsible for Mr. Zhang's rescue is Liu Guangxi's nephew. Liu Guangxi was trying to cover up the truth, which is why he said he wanted to fire you. However, Director Zhang's eyes are sharp, and he quickly discovered the problem and sent an investigation team to the hospital. Liu Guangxi has been taken to the city bureau for investigation. For the injustice he caused you, our hospital will give you a reasonable compensation."

"Compensation is unnecessary. Potian is already preparing to leave Yanjing, and the hospital's compensation is not very meaningful to him. However, since Potian currently does not have a medical practice license, he must sign an agreement with the hospital and the patient's family before he can save the patient. If any accidents occur during the treatment, it will have nothing to do with Potian. If you agree, Potian will take action to save the patient."

On the way to the hospital, Qiu Jinbo and Wu Potian had been discussing, and he was very clear about Wu Potian's plans. Considering that Wu Potian was not yet a formal doctor, to protect Wu Potian, he immediately made his request after hearing Chen Zengguang's words.

Chen Zengguang's expression clearly changed upon hearing Qiu Jinbo's words. He immediately explained to Qiu Jinbo, "Professor Qiu! You can rest assured. Director Zhang has already indicated to Xiao Wu that if he can save his father, he will help Xiao Wu obtain a medical practice license."

Since Wu Potian had not mentioned this to Qiu Jinbo before, Qiu Jinbo was clearly stunned when he learned of Director Zhang's offer. He soon showed a proud smile, knowing that Wu Potian's wish was to become a doctor, and this offer could save him a lot of trouble.

Although this condition satisfied Qiu Jinbo, he was a seasoned person and would not forget the most important thing just because of the current offer. He immediately replied to Chen Zengguang, "President Chen! I think you misunderstood my meaning. Director Zhang's offer is indeed very tempting, but I believe that with Potian's abilities, obtaining a medical practice license is not difficult. The conditions I mentioned earlier are not to have Director Zhang issue a medical practice license for Potian, but to give me a written commitment."

"Professor Qiu! What kind of written commitment do you need from Director Zhang?" Chen Zengguang had already guessed Qiu Jinbo's intention but wanted Wu Potian to take the blame for the hospital. If Director Zhang gave a commitment, and the treatment failed, Director Zhang would not be able to hold Wu Potian responsible, and the hospital would be blamed. This would not only prevent him from being promoted but also ruin his future opportunities. However, to avoid arousing Qiu Jinbo's suspicion, he had to pretend to be confused.

"Professor Qiu! I completely agree with your request. Additionally, if Xiao Wu can save my father, I will help Xiao Wu obtain a medical practice license as soon as possible." As Chen Zengguang pretended to be confused, Zhang Qiming suddenly spoke up behind him with a very serious tone.
