After the crowded queue moved five meters forward, the middle-aged man then said with a smile, “You were asleep, so you didn’t see Divine Doctor Tang’s arrival. The queue moved forward because eight patients have already been diagnosed and treated by Dr. Tang.”
“How is this possible? Why did Divine Doctor Tang come so early? I heard he left at the early hours last night,” Tian Xiaomeng said with astonishment.
“That’s dedication and professionalism. And also the benevolence possessed by a sage doctor. As of yesterday, Divine Doctor Tang diagnosed and treated 166 patients, and today he must also treat the same number of patients. Whether it’s his treatment speed, or the effect of his treatment, it’s worthy of everyone’s admiration.
Hearing this, Tian Xiaomeng didn’t know what to say. Nowadays, the relationship between patients and medical practitioners was quite problematic as numerous issues between doctors and their patients had often been reported. She herself had been to many hospitals and met many doctors, yet never once did she expect to meet such a good doctor in this life.
“Yeah! It’s really admirable.” Tian Xiaomeng couldn’t help but sigh.
“True! It’s very admirable.”
“What a good divine doctor!”
“If there are more doctors like Divine Doctor Tang in this world, how good would it be?”
“Yeah, it’s rare for a doctor to be back to the hospital after only five hours of rest.”
“…”
The patients waiting in the queue all expressed their admiration.
From their expressions, the keen Tian Xiaomeng could see respect, admiration, and various others emotions.
“Please move aside!”
A loud and clear voice was heard. Many people looked toward the back and quickly made way when they saw who the arrivals were.
“I didn’t expect the even the hospital’s higher ups themselves would come so early. It should be because of Divine Doctor Tang!” Said Tian Xiaomeng in a low voice after she saw them.
The middle-aged man nodded, “But of course. Divine Doctor Tang will only be rendering his medical services for three days. The higher ups of the hospital cannot not attend to Divine Doctor Tang, to begin with.”
“How could things be so exaggerated, Uncle. It’s simply because the President was affected by Divine Doctor Tang. He was ashamed of resting at home, so he could only choose to come earlier…” Tian Xiaomeng laughed.
“Hahaha…”

_In the consultation room…_
Just as Tang Xiu sent off a patient, he saw Li Hongji coming in with Chu Guoxiong. After several months of not having met him, the man had become thinner. Just as he came closer, the faint scent of medicinal herbs could be smelled from him; it was evident that he had been dealing with medicinal herbs recently.
“Dr. Tang, I brought my Junior Brother with me,” said Li Hongji with a smiling face.
Tang Xiu looked at Chu Guoxiong and said, “Chu Guoxiong, you haven’t forgotten me, right?”
Squeezing out a wry smile, Chu Guoxiong said, “I may forget who I am, Divine Doctor Tang, but how could I ever forget you? If anything, you’ve given me a good lesson in Jingmen Island. You made me realize the true meaning that _‘one must never judge others by their appearance, for we also cannot measure an ocean with a bushel’_. Hence, I apologize for everything that happened before.”
“Let the bygones be bygones.” Tang Xiu waved his hand and smilingly said. “As practitioners of Chinese medical knowledge, the most important thing for us is to have a broad mind, as well as understand that virtue, goodness, and morality are the way to convey our Dao. I believe President Li has told you why I invited you here, right? How about it? Would you be willing to help me here for two days?”
“I don’t mind, but I’m afraid that the patients won’t take me into account! They have come to Star City from faraway places, and their purpose here is to consult with a certain doctor — you,” said Chu Guoxiong.
“Actually, it won’t be an issue for you if it is not a special case of incurable diseases or something like that,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “There are few patients here that contracted incurable diseases. Hence, nearly all of them can be treated by you. With the two of us working together, not only can we treat more patients, I can also relax a little. Of course, if you come across a case that you find difficult to deal with, I will promptly take over the diagnosis.”
“Then I’ll respect your arrangement, as well as obey your instructions,” said Chu Guoxiong with a nod.
Following that, Tang Xiu looked at Li Hongji and smilingly said, “President Li, I may have to trouble you to add two more consultation tables! Also, please call another two assistants.”
Li Hongji looked vacant, and asked with a puzzled expression, “Why do you want another two consultation tables? Who exactly are the other assistants?”
