Chapter 232: Chapter 195: Leaders Team Up to Visit, Wu Ting’s Terrifying Network

Li Qing was also a bit surprised that Huang Yangming knew Wu Ting. He took out his phone and pulled up Wu Ting’s contact information.

After a look, Huang Yangming confirmed it was the same Wu Ting.

"I can’t believe it’s really Dr. Wu."

"Director Ding, if that’s the case, then Dr. Wu is definitely the real deal."

Huang Yangming had a vivid memory of Wu Ting. He recalled how he’d had his superior call and invite Shen Guofeng, a top expert from Jin Province, to perform a limb replantation surgery for Officer Liu Ping of his squad. To his surprise, it was Dr. Wu’s masterful hands that ultimately performed the perfect tendon repair.

To this day, Officer Liu Ping’s recovery has been ideal. It won’t be long before he’s fully healed and back on duty.

For that, Huang Yangming was both impressed by and grateful to Wu Ting.

He just hadn’t expected that after such a short time, Dr. Wu would also be involved in the field of liver tumors. ’He’s truly a clinical genius.’

Huang Yangming then recounted the story of how he had met Wu Ting.

Hearing about Dr. Wu Ting’s impressive history, Li Qing was filled with admiration.

"So Dr. Wu’s medical expertise is that extensive."

Both Huang Yangming and Li Qing held this doctor from City First Hospital in such high esteem.

A spark of hope ignited in Ding Han as well.

The other leaders from Fan City’s major departments present at the table also made a mental note of this figure from City First Hospital: Wu Ting.

"Ding Han, how about this? I’ll ask Dr. Wu for you and set up a time. You two can meet then."

Li Qing was willing to personally make the connection for Ding Han.

As Ding Han’s former classmate, it made perfect sense for him to be the one to approach Wu Ting on his behalf.

Huang Yangming added from the side,

"Director Li, Director Ding, if you’re going to see Dr. Wu, I’ll go with you. It’s a perfect opportunity for me to thank him as well."

Now that he was a Deputy Director, Huang Yangming’s influence in Fan City had grown. By meeting with Wu Ting, he wanted to send a message: that he remembered the favor Wu Ting had done for him and was ready to show his goodwill in return.

If Wu Ting ever needed anything, he was more than willing to help out.

This was how relationships and mutual obligations were built.

Beyond his medical skills, Huang Yangming admired Wu Ting’s character even more.

Li Qing immediately called Wu Ting. When the call connected, he made his inquiry, but Wu Ting’s answer was somewhat surprising.

"You’re saying you’re at the Jinhao Banquet Center having dinner right now?"

Li Qing glanced at Ding Han and Huang Yangming. They both understood immediately and nodded.

In a gentle and very polite tone, Li Qing asked,

"Dr. Wu, what a coincidence. I’m having a meal with Director Ding and Director Huang at our cafeteria right now. The bureau is only a three-minute drive from where you are."

"So, if it’s convenient for you, we’d like to come over and see you now."

"After all, this concerns the condition of Director Ding’s wife, who is also an old classmate of mine. This is a serious matter, so it would be best to meet in person."

"What do you think?"

Li Qing’s rank was very high; the Provincial Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security wielded significant authority.

Normally, if Li Qing made a request, even the director of Fan City First Hospital would come running respectfully to assist.

It was purely out of respect for Wu Ting and their prior friendly relations that Li Qing was willing to go in person, an act that undoubtedly showed him a great deal of face.

Ding Han hadn’t expected Director Li to personally get involved.

Huang Yangming was equally surprised. ’I didn’t realize Wu Ting had also done a favor for Director Li.’

Given Li Qing’s age and current rank, he had a long official career ahead of him. To have such a friendly relationship with Director Li meant that in the future, Wu Ting would be an honored guest for all of Fan City’s officials.

"Everyone, please continue your meal. We’re going to see Dr. Wu Ting. We’ll be back shortly."

Director Li gestured to the other leaders, and then the three of them—he, Huang Yangming, and Ding Han—left to find Wu Ting.

Inside a private room at the Jinhao Hotel.

When Wu Ting announced that he was on 24-hour call and couldn’t drink alcohol, the expressions on the faces of Huang Jiabing and Shou Haibing clearly changed.

This was especially true for Huang Jiabing. In all his years in construction, how could he possibly have handled all those contractors and dealt with difficult officials, big and small, without a bit of a temper and some ruthless methods?

Seeing things were taking a bad turn, Chai Ming, the reunion organizer and former class monitor, knew he had to step in.

He immediately spoke up to defuse the tension.

"Jiabing, Wu Ting just finished his probationary period. These are work requirements; it’s not that he doesn’t want to give an old classmate face."

"We’re all just here to get together and catch up. There’s no need for things to get so tense."

"How about this: Wu Ting, just pour yourself a soft drink. You can use that instead of alcohol for the toast."

"I’ll drink his glass for him."

After all, Chai Ming had organized this reunion and had been the one to cordially invite Wu Ting; he didn’t want to see Wu Ting put in a difficult position.

Holding his glass in his right hand, Chai Ming gave Wu Ting a light nudge with his left, signaling him to just take a sip of his drink to show respect.

Chai Ming was the class monitor, after all. Everyone had come out to reminisce, and he didn’t want things to get too awkward.

A few of Wu Ting’s closer friends also spoke up in his defense.

"Huang Jiabing, that’s enough. Even Shou Haibing hasn’t said anything."

"We’re all classmates here. There’s no need for this."

"Wu Ting is just a junior doctor at City First Hospital. He has a stable job and makes a living with his skills. He just focuses on doing his job conscientiously. He’s not trying to get a promotion or a raise. We appreciate Director Shou’s sentiment, but there’s really no need to trouble him."
