Chapter 90

Seeing Gao Dan ask so calmly, Chu Nan knew that this Gao Dan... was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Thus, Chu Nan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Chu Nan."

"Mr. Chu, hello. I wonder which expert invited you to participate in this Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar? —— Or, let me ask you this, which hospital do you belong to?"

Chu Nan frowned, but before he could speak, Gao Xi, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly stood up: "Chairman Gao, sorry, I need to interject."

"Oh?"

At this moment, Gao Dan saw his younger brother Gao Xi stand up, and his expression subtly changed —— he vaguely felt that if his brother, who usually did not like to stand out in trivial matters, suddenly stood out, then... that Chu Nan must either be his brother's good friend or his enemy.

Of course, Gao Dan knew his brother Gao Xi's character. Given his style of handling things, he would not stand up for his friends out of a sense of righteousness, so... that Chu Nan was very likely his brother Gao Xi's enemy.

Sure enough, as expected, Gao Xi said, "This Chu Nan is an intern at our Second People's Hospital! From what I understand, he is a college student who occasionally helps out in the hospital, with no qualifications and no formal medical experience. As for who arranged for him to come, I'm not quite sure."

These words immediately caused a stir.

Good grief, this guy is just an intern? No wonder he's so young — and yet, this college intern actually dared to question the experts on the stage in such a setting. Is this guy... planning not to work in this industry anymore?!

And Gao Dan, of course, also sensed the general gist from his brother's words.

"..." Ye Shengge's expression was very grim at this moment — not knowing who arranged for him to come... is this really a veiled insult? Ye Shengge felt very uncomfortable, but... he did not disapprove of Chu Nan's character. He supported Chu Nan's precious qualities, but... in such a setting, this was really too rash!! He quickly thought about how to smooth things over for Chu Nan, while casting his gaze toward his daughter Ye Yao.

He saw his daughter's clearly very nervous expression and faintly sensed a hint of... ah, no, not a hint of mischief, but a hint of intimacy. This made him think of the mysterious boyfriend of his daughter that he knew about before...

Thinking of this, Ye Shengge naturally thought of the phone call he had with Chu Nan, telling him that his daughter had a boyfriend.

At that time... this guy seemed to know nothing about it? This little Chu was even trying to dodge the issue with him?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious Ye Shengge became, the more he suspected that there was some secret relationship between his daughter Ye Yao and Chu Nan. — Because often, only when a relationship reaches a certain level would someone deliberately hide it?

"Alright, you can sit down, Dr. Gao."

Gao Dan waved his hand, signaling Gao Xi to sit down. In such a public setting, Gao Dan and Gao Xi generally did not refer to each other as brothers, but used formal titles. This was normal, but also quite hypocritical.

Gao Xi slowly sat down, then turned his head and cast a smug and gloating look in Chu Nan's direction —— humph, I don't even need to do anything this time!! I want to see how you, this idiot, will die today!!

"Dr. Chu, right?"

Gao Dan turned his gaze back to Chu Nan: "Everyone here knows why you are so angry. On behalf of the entire medical community, I apologize for the tragedy that occurred in the first half of the year. I wonder if you are a family member of one of those unfortunate children?"

Chu Nan frowned — what the hell, representing the entire medical community?! The old fat expert who made the mistake, does it fall on you to take responsibility?! Does the entire medical community fall on you to represent?! Damn it, now, with your words, you have subtly placed me in opposition to the entire Beijing medical community!

Cruel! Very cruel!! No wonder you are a big figure in the medical industry at this level, every word is filled with hidden malice and traps!

"I am not a family member of any of them, but as a doctor, I should stand up and speak for any life that has been lost due to inadequate treatment!" Chu Nan faced the hundreds of people in the room, met Gao Dan's gaze without fear, and said each word with righteous indignation.

"Yes, you are right, I admire your attitude and character. However, you should know that in a setting like this, suddenly standing up and publicly questioning someone is very impolite and also a sign of poor manners. Many things can be discussed privately. After all, our Kyoto Medical Academic Seminar only happens once a year, and each session is very precious and should not be wasted." Gao Dan smiled slightly, his voice steady and calm, and his eyes even showed a hint of affection for the younger generation.

This tone and expression made Chu Nan secretly admire his acting skills.

"Time is precious? Should not be wasted? So, are you saying that arguing and questioning for a wrongfully dead child is a waste of time?" Chu Nan did not back down.

"Hehe, yes, a wrongfully dead child is truly heartbreaking. But what you are doing now is just questioning, while what we are doing, do you know?" Gao Dan suddenly chuckled, then spread his hands and asked.

Chu Nan frowned and said coldly, "You are discussing how to make money in the next year! Not how to save lives!"

These words again caused a stir in the room — poor child, his words really touched the sore spots of most of the invited guests... who among these people does not want to make money?

Zhou Yongfu, sitting in the front row, had already started to cover his face, unable to bear to watch any longer.

And Ye Shengge was already prepared to stand up and help smooth things over for Chu Nan.

At this moment, Gao Dan gently shook his head, his smile still calm: "Not so. Young man, you have fallen into a misconception. Everyone has a phase of being a young radical, but this attitude is very immature. If you plan to be a qualified doctor, you must get rid of this mindset. A doctor with a skewed mindset will fall into extremes and only harm patients. We, as doctors, hospitals, and those in the medical field, are all here to save lives and help the world. To better save lives and help the world, we need to develop more drugs, introduce more advanced medical equipment, and use them to save and treat patients. Without making money, how can we progress, how can we develop drugs, how can we purchase drugs and equipment? How can we better save lives? So, you must understand, making money is for saving lives."
