Chapter 260: Chapter 204: The Lecture Begins, Identity Revealed: Wu Ting, Wu Ting

In the Emergency Department of City First Hospital.

Department Heads Qin Donglai and Huo Yun also clicked on the link and began to watch. They were paying close attention to such a rare, high-profile lecture in the country.

As time passed, the broadcast showed the special guests making their entrance, while the teams from various pharmaceutical companies waited for their presentations.

Dean Song was personally hosting this top-tier event.

On screen, the camera was focused on the main stage, so Qin Donglai, Huo Yun, and the others hadn’t yet spotted the arriving special guests.

Meanwhile, in the group chat, their "mole," Dr. Yan Xi, sent photos straight from the scene.

Yan Xi was seated very close to the front, so she had a clear view as the guests entered. She secretly snapped photos with her phone and sent them to the group in real time.

Photos of Deng Fujiu, Ye Xin, and Chen Bofeng—names one would only see in industry standards or textbooks—appeared in the group chat one by one, each paired with a recent picture.

The doctors from the City First Hospital research center were all spamming "Awesome!" in the chat.

Even Jiang Ming, who was away doing further training in Qinghe City, was a bit envious that Wu Ting and Yan Xi could see these titans of immunology up close.

Then, Yan Xi saw Wu Ting walk in behind Shen Siyuan.

Yan Xi assumed Wu Ting had just finished his project defense and tagged along with his mentor, Shen Siyuan. She was about to wave hello, but then she saw Wu Ting walk directly to the front row of special guests, sit down next to Professor Ye Xin, and Shen Siyuan sat beside him.

"???"

’I thought I was doing pretty well, using my hospital connections to get a second-row seat,’ Yan Xi thought. ’I never expected that guy Wu Ting to pull strings and get right into the front row.’

’How dare he? Shen Siyuan is way too good to him! Then again, Professor Ye Xin is his grand-mentor and Shen Siyuan is his direct mentor, so I guess it makes sense for him to be sitting there.’

’No wonder Wu Ting messaged back earlier saying not to wait for him because he had a seat.’

Yan Xi suddenly felt a pang of envy. ’Wu Ting must have just had face-to-face conversations with all those titans, with Professor Ye making the introductions.’

After all the guests were seated, Dean Song took the stage and began his opening remarks.

"Esteemed leaders, faculty, students, our distinguished guests, and the representatives from top pharmaceutical companies, both domestic and international. Good afternoon, everyone..."

Dean Song began his opening with the usual official pleasantries. After giving a brief introduction, he announced the conference’s agenda.

"This lecture will be divided into several parts: a presentation and sharing session with the pharmaceutical companies, a high-paying job recruitment session, and finally, the ’Mount Hua Sword Duel’ of immunology between Professor Lin Ning and a mysterious guest..."

As Dean Song made his announcements, the faculty and students in the audience cheered, especially in anticipation of the job recruitment and the final "Mount Hua Sword Duel."

Dean Song, of course, knew what the faculty and students were thinking, so he didn’t waste any more time:

"Before the main lecture begins, allow me to introduce our special guests..."

"First up is our most anticipated guest, Professor Lin Ning from the HHMI Research Institute..."

Of course, the attending faculty and students had done their homework on Professor Lin Ning, especially those who had read the online primer. Even if they weren’t intimately familiar with him, they could easily name his signature theory.

Professor Lin stood, turned, and gracefully greeted the audience, who naturally erupted in cheers.

"Eastern Heretic! Eastern Heretic!"

Yan Xi, Wang Nanjin, and the others became like excited fangirls, cheering wildly.

"Our second guest is Professor Deng Fujiu from Xianglin City Transportation University..."

Thanks to the influence of the post titled "A Brief Analysis of the Signature Theories of Each Guest at the Jinggang University Medical College ’Immunology Mount Hua Sword Duel,’" the crowd shouted in tacit unison:

"West Poison! West Poison!"

On stage, Dean Song and the other guests were all a bit baffled.

This only brought more mirth to the faculty and students in the audience who were in on the joke.

’Principal Song is still trying to play mysterious, but we saw through that little trick of his long ago!’

’You wanted a Mount Hua Sword Duel? Well, we’ll give you one!’

As Chen Bofeng and Ye Xin stood up to greet the crowd, the audience cheered their corresponding nicknames.

"Southern Emperor! Southern Emperor... North Beggar! North Beggar!..."

Ye Xin and Chen Bofeng were both completely bewildered. ’Are we getting that old? Are we that out of touch with the youth these days?’ they wondered.

"Hahaha..."

A wave of cheers and laughter swept through the audience, but in truth, these nicknames were a sign of the crowd’s deep respect and admiration for these titans of the field.

After all, in the Martial World, the Five Greats reign supreme!

But what surprised everyone the most was when Dean Song began to introduce the final two special guests.

"Next, let us welcome our special guests for this lecture, Professor Shen Siyuan and his student, Dr. Wu Ting!"

Dean Song didn’t reveal Wu Ting’s true identity, but he still gave them a formal introduction.

Wu Ting and Shen Siyuan both rose to greet the audience.

Looking at the two, Professor Shen Siyuan’s presence was understandable, but Wu Ting... no one in the audience could make sense of his inclusion.

Yan Xi, Wang Nanjin, and the others were also surprised.

"How did Wu Ting actually become a special guest?"

Even at this moment, the crowd still couldn’t connect Wu Ting with the mysterious guest.

However, from the guest section, Professor Lin Ning looked over at Wu Ting graciously, his eyes filled with anticipation and approval.
