1: Chapter 1 Opportunity
“Xiao Yi, I’ve given you so many chances, yet you’ve disappointed me greatly.
This is your last chance; if you can’t complete it, don’t blame me.
After all, our hospital doesn’t need a doctor who can’t do anything right!”
Looking at the rather handsome young man in front of him, Wang Changping swayed his portly body while sitting on the chair. Discover more novels at NoveI(F)ire.net
“Director Wang, rest assured, I will definitely complete this medical task!” Xiao Yifei said, his eyes brimming with determination.
Wang Changping feigned sincerity, “Such a driven young man like you is very good, I appreciate it.
If you can successfully complete this task, I can recommend you for a permanent position!”
“Director Wang, don’t worry, I will definitely achieve the goal!” Xiao Yifei nodded repeatedly.
Watching Xiao Yifei turn and leave, a cold smile spread across Wang Changping’s chubby face: “I have seen the patient in Room 302, and I am sure that the condition is not difficult to diagnose.
Therefore, this task isn’t tough, just grasp the opportunity well!”
Shangjing Hospital is one of the top hospitals in the country; Xiao Yifei stood out from nearly a thousand new graduates and became an intern at Shangjing Hospital right after his graduation, which fully showcased his capabilities.
However, the kind are easily bullied, and the gentler the mare, the easier ridden.
Just a few days into his internship, Xiao Yifei stumbled upon Wang Changping and the head nurse in a compromising situation in the office, and from then on, he became a thorn in Wang Changping’s side.
Wang Changping would hand over any patient with an intractable condition to him, resulting in all the interns who were hired at the same time as him getting permanent positions while he was still wearing the intern badge.
The condition of the patient in Room 302 was extremely peculiar; even using the most advanced equipment in the city had not led to a definitive diagnosis.
By passing this hot potato to him, Wang Changping was clearly looking for an excuse to drive Xiao Yifei away.
Stepping out of the hospital, Xiao Yifei sighed deeply.
This time he had truly been caught in Wang Changping’s trap.
Since he was going to be driven away anyway, Xiao Yifei wasn’t in a hurry to go to the ward.
Now that it was time for a meal, filling his stomach was the most pressing matter.
But today, Xiao Yifei didn’t want to eat in the hospital staff canteen.
He wanted to go out for a change of food, and besides, he had a vague feeling that something was going to happen today.
“What should I eat?” Xiao Yifei wandered at the entrance of the hospital, looking at the array of restaurant names on both sides.
Suffering from choice paralysis, he was somewhat troubled.
He looked left and right, unable to decide which one to pick.
“Young man, I see your Heavenly Court is full and your Earth Base is square.
A golden aura shoots straight from the crown of your head to the sky.
This truly is a sign of an extraordinary destiny!
Young man, I am certain that your life will be thunderous and magnificent.
You’re surely not a common person.
Wealth and prestige are trifles for you; turning into an immortal is your future!”
As Xiao Yifei struggled with what to eat, he suddenly realized someone was tugging at his clothes.
Turning around, he saw an old beggar with filthy hair and ragged clothes, his body covered in dirt, who had grabbed him and started speaking a string of words without a pause.
Xiao Yifei grinned, suddenly finding the old beggar to be quite a character.
But remembering he still needed to eat and had things to do in the afternoon, he turned to leave.
Yet, just as he took a step, he found himself still being held back.
I see your Heavenly Court is full…” The old beggar held onto Xiao Yifei, beginning to speak again, the same words as before, only this time, what was different was the old beggar slowly extending his hand toward Xiao Yifei.
What I just told you is all true!
But to succeed, you need an opportunity!” The old beggar suddenly emitted a mysterious aura, his voice also deepening, the sudden change truly captivated Xiao Yifei.
“Master, tell me, what opportunity do I need?” asked Xiao Yifei with some curiosity.
“To know the opportunity, you need to go there!” The old beggar suddenly stretched out his hand, pointing to a place, and Xiao Yifei seriously and earnestly shifted his gaze to where the old beggar’s finger directed.
“Jiang’s Big Plate Chicken!” The five glinting big characters seemed incredibly glaring to Xiao Yifei.
“Master, if you’re hungry, just say so.
There’s no need to beat around the bush with me!” Xiao Yifei felt a dark line form on his forehead—he didn’t understand how he, an intelligent man, could be so easily influenced by this old beggar.
Meeting me today is your good fortune, and as it happens, I also didn’t know what to eat.
I’ll treat you to Big Plate Chicken!” Xiao Yifei shook his head and was the first to enter the doors of the Big Plate Chicken restaurant.
“In the future, you’ll know that meeting me was your real stroke of luck!” The old beggar stood in place, squinting his eyes, his tone mysterious, giving off the air of a hermit from outside this world.
However, in just a moment, he was seen quickly wiping his hands and hurrying after Xiao Yifei.
“I want the large portion!”
Burp…” An hour later, the old beggar came out of the restaurant hiccupping and staggering, with Xiao Yifei following behind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He touched his now-thin wallet and was left speechless.
His internship salary was already low, yet this old beggar managed to devour three portions of Big Plate Chicken all by himself!
It looked like for the next few days, he would have to make do with hospital cafeteria food.
Young man, about the opportunity I mentioned, I didn’t deceive you, burp…
It’s right here!” Xiao Yifei followed behind the old beggar and suddenly saw him turn around, a mysterious smile revealing his yellow teeth, as he spoke to Xiao Yifei in an oddly quiet voice.
“Master, I really don’t have any more money!
Stop pulling my leg, I won’t believe it anymore!
At your age, you shouldn’t keep running around outside, what if something happens eh!” Upon seeing the old beggar’s signature mysterious expression, Xiao Yifei immediately felt tense and quickly covered his wallet.
What are you afraid of!
I have no interest in your money!” The old beggar sneakily glanced at Xiao Yifei’s wallet and, lifting his head, said, “I am truly going to give you your opportunity!
With that, the old beggar reached out his hand and gave Xiao Yifei something to clutch tightly.
“Jinling is not a common fish in a pond, once it meets the wind and the clouds, it will transform into a dragon!”
“With the sky so high and the sea so deep, wide for birds and fish, when wind and clouds gather, the opportunity arrives!”
The old beggar suddenly started chanting a poem, leaving Xiao Yifei somewhat baffled as he lowered his head to look at the object the old beggar had given him.
Tricked me again!” Upon looking down, Xiao Yifei saw that the old beggar had given him a plastic carving shaped like an eye, light and weightless, with only a golden light in the center of the eye!
“Master, what is this?” Xiao Yifei looked up, only to discover that the old beggar had suddenly vanished from his sight, as if he had never been there at all.
“What the heck!” Xiao Yifei was utterly confused and unsure of the situation.
He brought the plastic eye carving up to his own eyes to take a closer look, and abruptly, he saw that the golden light in the center of the eye carving suddenly lit up, shooting out a beam of golden radiance straight into his eyes.
In an instant, Xiao Yifei felt everything go dark before his eyes, and he fainted away.
