CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: STRIVING TO BE THE SENIOR APPRENTICE

"I was wrong, it was me, I confess, I confess everything!" Zhou Hongyi, accustomed to living in comfort, could not withstand even ten seconds before caving in.

He pushed Zhou Zhiruo aside, fell to his knees in front of Ye Guichen, and screamed desperately, "I took the money, not only that, I also slept with the Director of Orthopedics! Brother Ye, no, ancestor, please make the itching stop, I’ll confess everything!"

"Dad..." Hearing Zhou Hongyi’s words, Zhou Zhiruo’s face turned ashen, and she collapsed to the floor, murmuring, "It’s over."

Then, everything followed naturally.

Zhou Hongyi not only confessed to accepting bribes but also admitted to using his position for sleeping with numerous women.

At first, Wang Jinglun was trembling with rage, but by the end, he was numb.

"Zhou Hongyi, you have disappointed me greatly. Get ready to rot in jail!" Wang Jinglun took out his phone, called the police, and had Zhou Hongyi taken away.

"Mr. Ye, if it weren’t for you today, I, I might have... sigh." Wang Jinglun held Ye Guichen’s hand, sighed deeply, and suddenly said, "You see, our hospital is currently missing a deputy dean, can you possibly?"

"Hold on!" Wang Jinglun’s words shocked Ye Guichen.

What’s this, giving me a deputy dean position out of nowhere.

I enjoy my freedom, I’m not looking for extra burdens.

"Dean Wang, I appreciate your kind gesture." Ye Guichen pulled his hand out of Wang Jinglun’s: "I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."

"Hey, Mr. Ye, can I be your disciple?" Wang Jinglun blurted out, startling Professor John.

Professor John was not pleased: "Dean Wang, what do you mean? A master-disciple relationship should follow proper etiquette, right?"

"Ahem, Professor John, Traditional Chinese Medicine is Huaxia’s heritage, and I have practiced it since the beginning, so I am more suitable to inherit Mr. Ye’s teachings, unlike you, who came to it later, I’m afraid..."

"Useless!" Professor John huffed: "Even if you want to be a disciple, I would be the senior disciple, you have to wait in line."

"But you are a foreigner, concerning Huaxia..."

"Stop babbling, this is not up for discussion."

The two old men began to argue as if no one else was there, soon escalating into a heated quarrel over who should be Ye Guichen’s senior disciple.

The people around were bewildered.

This is absurd, right?

These two, regardless of status or position, were highly respected, yet here they were, arguing fiercely over becoming someone else’s disciple?

Li Ruoxuan had never witnessed such a scene before and finally couldn’t resist coughing: "Dean Wang, Professor, they’ve already left, what are you still arguing about?"

"What?" The two were startled, turned their heads, and saw that Ye Guichen was long gone.

"Wang Jinglun, it’s all your fault, look, just look!" Professor John stomped his foot in frustration.

Wang Jinglun chuckled slyly like an old fox: "Professor John, you will be returning to your country in a few days, I have plenty of opportunities."

"You..." Professor John pointed at Wang Jinglun: "Despicable!"

Outside the VIP room, Chen Longxiang stood respectfully.

Besides Chen Longxiang, there were also a few doctors from Renmin Hospital.

"Director He, what’s the dean doing inside?" Chen Longxiang asked a middle-aged man next to him.

He sponsored this medical forum just to get in touch with Wang Jinglun.

If he could get Wang Jinglun’s approval, then Chen Group’s medical equipment could enter Renmin Hospital; at that time, he would definitely have made a great contribution in front of his grandmother. Kicking Chen Ziran out of the company entirely and taking full control of Chen Group would be an easy feat.

Director He sighed: "Longxiang, you came late, it was quite the show just now."

Chen Longxiang immediately showed an interested expression: "Director He, what exactly happened?"

"Do I even need to say? Haha, a young man demonstrated the Shennong acupuncture method, and now, Professor John and Dean Wang both want to be his disciples."

"What?" Chen Longxiang was dumbfounded; such things happen in this world?

He secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance, he must visit that expert. If he could establish a relationship with him, wouldn’t entering Renmin Hospital be a piece of cake?
