Chapter 17 - Irritated Jiang Feng (1/2)

Proofread by May Zou

His words sounded like an invitation, but his sense of superiority was self-evident.

Lin Qi responded nonchalantly, “Please don’t go to any bother, I’m also going to the conference later.”

“You’re going there too?” Jiang Feng was surprised for a moment, then said with disdain, “Come on, Lin Qi, how could you brag about it? As your senior, I am the only designated one in Jinhai University to attend the medical conference. Now you tell me that you’re going there too. Don’t try to have egg on your face.”

Every year Jinhai University would recommend a most excellent student to attend to the conference, and Jiang Feng was of course qualified.

But this medical conference was the highest academic conference in Jinhai city, but the seats for attendees were limited. How could Jiang Feng believe it when Lin Qi said he would attend?

Lin Qi, who wasn’t attending on behalf of Jinhai University, only smiled without a word.

Without receiving any response from Lin Qi, Jiang Feng said scornfully, “To tell you the truth, Lin Qi, in this university, I think only you can be considered as my rival. But now you’re boasting like this, I really despise you!”

Lin Qi closed the book and suddenly raised his head and asked, “My senior, what do you think is the purpose of studying medicine?”

“To cure the sickness, of course.” Jiang Feng answered without thinking.

Lin Qi recalled something about Jiang Feng’s behaviors and said coldly, “But I suppose you study medicine only to show your talent in medicine and make it your eligibility to show off and insult others out of your pride and insolence.”

“What did you say, boy?” Jiang Feng’s face fell, as if some of his secrets had been revealed. He said hastily, “I study medicine to cure the sickness and save others’ lives, I deserve the praise and admiration of others!”

“Then why do you often compete in medical skills with others and post pictures of your victories on the Internet?” Lin Qi mocked.

Jiang Feng was furious and roared, “I did this in order to further improve our medical skills. What’s wrong with that?”

Lin Qi could not help shaking his head, “We apply our medical skills to serving the society and curing the patients, not to compare with the higher. Haven’t your elders taught you this?”

“You!” Jiang Feng pulled his face. His elder sister always educated him by saying this. But when it came out from Lin Qi, someone about his age, he felt extremely aggrieved.

“I am to prove the medical skills of our Jiang family, which we have imparted and inherited from our ancestors, are the best in Jinhai and in the whole city no one can compare! So what of it?” Jiang Feng said loftily.

“So what if you have proved your skills are better than those of others’?” Lin Qi questioned.

Jiang Feng craned his neck and said, “In that way, more people would know me, and then they would come to me and beg me to treat them.”

“And more money, I suppose.” Lin Qi said with a sneer, “It was rumored that, if I remember correctly, last time you treated an entrepreneur and you charged a fat fee of two hundred thousand yuan, who, however, just caught a cold.”

“It’s quite natural for a doctor to charge for his service, and my patient didn’t care about the little sum since he’s so rich.” Jiang Feng went outraged.

“So why don’t you go under a pedestrian overpass and treat the beggars? You only use your medical skills for the wealthy, don’t you? I suggest that you’d better not describe yourself as that noble. You’re preaching about the major principles but cannot go without one word: ‘money’.” Lin Qi snorted.

Jiang Feng flushed with shame but could not refute on hearing Lin Qi’s words, He could only stare at him, gnashing his teeth.

While Lin Qi waved him away and said, “You can go now, senior schoolmate. You are going to the medical conference only for an undeserved reputation rather than exchanging medical experience. Even if you invite me to go with you, I won’t!”

“You fucking boy, didn’t you have the guts to compete with me in medicine right now, didyou?” Jiang Feng roared.

“I’ve just said that medicine is not for competition. You don’t even understand the basic truth of being a doctor. To compete with me, you’re not qualified. You’re not qualified to be a medical student, either.” Lin Qi said icily.
