When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Jing Ran’s story could be called an exemplary tale held up by the school!

Such a story of an academic overachiever was like an adrenaline rush to those students inexperienced in the ways of the world, stirring a fiery passion in them!

Even Xu Huihui’s eyes shone with excitement, “Wow, so you’re the senior Jing Ran, I had no idea you were this handsome!”

It must be said, the name Jing Ran was truly legendary at Dongyang Medical University.

Luo Zhou couldn’t help but feel a twinge in his heart. Thankfully, Chen Cang had just left. Otherwise, how awkward would that have been?

Comparing an ex-boyfriend with the current one is a terribly embarrassing affair.

Even Qian Lin and a few others let out a small sigh.

Though Jing Ran was impressive, they didn’t have the best relationship with him; frankly, they weren’t in the same league. They could respect him, utter a “you’re awesome,” but that was about it, with no need for flattery.

But all couldn’t help feeling a twinge of regret, remembering how good Chen Cang and Geng Yan were together during their university days.

Such a pity…

Xu Huihui curiously asked, “Senior Jing Ran, did the school invite you to the anniversary celebration?”

Jing Ran nodded, his voice magnetic, “Yes, the school sent me an invitation for the celebration, so here I am.”

Everyone fell silent; they had been asked to volunteer and help out, whereas he had been invited to attend the ceremony, highlighting a vast difference.

Luo Zhou couldn’t help but feel contemplative. Chen Cang, oh Chen Cang, your rival is too formidable; I’m afraid there’s no way I can help.

Suddenly, Xu Huihui said, “Senior Jing Ran, you’re not in a hurry to return to the capital, are you? After the ceremony is over, Geng Yan, why not bring Senior Jing Ran along for a gathering?”

Geng Yan nodded; this boyfriend truly had an impressive presence!

Especially in Dongyang Province, where he could be proudly introduced anywhere.

Hearing Xu Huihui’s words, Geng Yan covered her mouth and laughed, “No rush to go back, no, actually, I’m not going back.”

Everyone was surprised: “Not going back?”

Geng Yan’s face radiated happiness, “Yes, I’m not going back. Jing Ran was recruited back here by Dong University’s First Hospital to be the deputy chief of thoracic surgery. He’s preparing to start working.”

Luo Zhou and the others immediately felt envious!

Now that’s impressive!

There was simply no comparison. They were struggling to find work after graduation, while he was brought in as a deputy director. Jing Ran was only six years older than them and had spent two to three years in a postdoctoral fellowship program after earning his Ph.D.

Plus, he skipped the newbie phase right after arriving and directly took the position of deputy director. With such capability, it was truly enviable!

Xu Huihui exclaimed in admiration, “That’s amazing, to be appointed deputy director right away, I’m so envious!”

After saying this, Xu Huihui suddenly asked with curiosity, “By the way, Geng Yan, you’re graduating this year too, right? Aren’t you going to work?”

Geng Yan smiled gently, “When Dong University’s First Hospital leaders were discussing conditions with Jing Ran, he hoped to bring me over, and Dean Liu agreed. I’ll be starting work too, at the First Hospital’s cardiology department.”

“So, we have plenty of time for get-togethers now!”

Xu Huihui nodded, “Geng Yan, you and Senior Jing Ran are about to get married, right?”

Geng Yan nodded, “Yes, planning to marry this year. When we came over, Jing Ran signed a contract with the hospital, which allocated us an apartment. We’ll get married once it’s renovated; remember to join us for the celebration when the time comes!”

Jing Ran looked at everyone, smiled, and said, “Folks, the meeting is starting, and I have to give a speech soon, so I won’t chat more. Another day, I’ll host a gathering for us all.”

After speaking, Jing Ran and Geng Yan walked towards the inner area.

Leaving the others steeped in a myriad of emotions.

Xu Huihui called out, “Geng Yan, wait for me.”

After finishing her sentence, Xu Huihui followed them inside.

Luo Zhou sighed and thought of Chen Cang, and then of Jing Ran. Suddenly he felt that if he were in Geng Yan’s shoes, he might also choose Jing Ran. After all, the difference was too great.

Just arriving, Jing Ran was offered a deputy director role, a house, and his wife had a job arranged; his life was spared the struggles of tens of years compared to their own, and most importantly, his future prospects were boundless.

Qian Lin stood to one side, watched the whole scene from start to finish, and remained silent.

Then he slowly asked Luo Zhou, “Senior, what’s the relationship between Geng Yan… and Chen Cang?”

Luo Zhou was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Qian Lin. “Geng Yan and Chen Cang were a couple in university, quite the center of attention back then. After Geng Yan went to the capital for her postgraduate studies, we lost touch with their story. But… as you can see now, you’ve seen it too.”

Qian Lin nodded. As for Jing Ran, even though they were several years apart, he had occasionally heard about such a prodigy from Dongyang University.

Could it be that his little benefactor was… a love rival?

Thinking of this, Qian Lin couldn’t help but feel a bit more hostile towards Geng Yan and Jing Ran.

After all, this kind of plot usually only occurs in novels and TV dramas.

Qian Lin had already imagined a storyline where Geng Yan had abandoned Chen Cang from start to finish.

At this thought, Qian Lin sighed.

Reality turned out to be more melodramatic than fiction!

…

Chen Cang was standing in the restroom, feeling the urge to leave the place.

He truly hadn’t expected to run into Geng Yan here.

And… who was the man with his arm around her?

With those thoughts, Chen Cang shook his head.

The past was already past, what was the point in dwelling on such matters?

Besides, Geng Yan’s affairs had long since ceased to concern him.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t let go, but more that he felt a bit unwilling to do so.

Three years had been enough time to let go of many things.

What Chen Cang had put behind was Geng Yan, but what he couldn’t swallow was his pride.

We’re all adults; there isn’t so much fairness, let alone laughable justice.

To put it bluntly, Chen Cang could disregard Geng Yan completely, even treating her as a stranger, but he couldn’t stand being shown off in front of, being told: look, he’s much better than you!

So, Chen Cang left.

Ultimately, it still came down to not being strong enough.

If it had been just Geng Yan coming, Chen Cang might have greeted her with a smile, saying, “Long time no see.”

But now, Chen Cang shook his head with a smile.

It would be best not to see her again.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Having said that, Chen Cang was about to leave.

The so-called mobilization meeting didn’t seem to hold much significance for him.

Just then, Qian Lin walked in and upon seeing Chen Cang standing there, couldn’t help saying, “I thought you had fallen in.”

Chen Cang: “…The pit is a bit small.”

Qian Lin: …

“Let’s go, it’s about to start. Aren’t you going to check it out?”

Chen Cang shook his head: “Not going, I’ve got something.”

Qian Lin suddenly smiled: “Don’t be in such a hurry. Don’t you want to know who that guy is?”

“Don’t you want to know what he’s best at?”

“Don’t you want to know what it feels like to beat him in his strongest area?”

“Little benefactor, go for it! Why be timid?”

ps: I’ve reorganized the plot a bit, and the burst of updates will continue. Author, keep it up!

In the future, I will make the update time more precise, at each 12 o’clock, one in the morning and one in the evening. For each mistake, I’ll add an extra update. (over a 10-minute difference)
