Chapter 229: 229: 851767390
Whether it was Master Lu or Lu Jinian, they were both shocked when they saw the woman standing in front of them.
The reason being that this woman looked really young.
“Let me introduce you. This is Dr. J, the new member of the Lawrence Institute of Medical Research. She is a general specialist, especially skilled in dealing with the nervous system. Her skills in dealing with nerves are extraordinary. No one else would be able to hire Dr. J. It is extremely lucky that you got her to treat you.”
Master Lu and Lu Jinnian were both speechless.
It felt as if they were the ones who earned something because of what they bought…
This feeling was similar to being forced into a Multiple Level Marketing (MLM) scheme.
It seemed… Unreliable.
Jing Qian stayed low-key while standing behind Hong Lu. She was already used to how Hong Lu was marketing her.
Well, you couldn’t expect someone to be perfect, right? Take Hong Lu as an example. She was someone who was talented in medicine, which was already extremely difficult. You couldn’t expect her to also be someone who was good at talking. She wouldn’t be able to start growing flowers with her mouth while trying to promote Jing Qian.
“Professor J? Can I call you that?”
Although the other party was a young woman, Master Zhan was still very polite to her.
“Sure.”
Jing Qian’s voice had a sense of laziness in it, just like a piece of feather floating around in the air.
“Because this is the first time that we’re meeting you, we wanted to know what other cases in regard to neurosurgery you have done before this.”
Since only those that were extremely skilled would be difficult to approach, for these people, they would have at least a few extraordinary cases up their sleeves.
The most important thing here was that before Professor Hong Lu mentioned her, none of them had heard of J.
Jing Qian smiled. Her red lips were like a red rose filled with thorns, looking dangerously seductive.
“Nope. You are my first patient.”
“Huh? None…?”
Master Lu panicked as he looked at Hong Lu in disbelief.
Hong Lu was shocked as well!
Big boss was being extremely out of control. She had worked hard trying to convince the patient, but now Big boss was pushing them away mercilessly.
“Well, since there are none, I will make sure that Young Master’s surgery is a success. Since he’s already in this state, could he get any worse?”
Lu Jinian was dumbfounded.
“But… This isn’t right. Lu Jinian is the only descendant left in the Lu family, and the only heir of our family. If anything happens to him…”
“If anything happens to him, do you think that I’ll be able to get away with it? This is my first neurosurgery. Even if I didn’t care about my own reputation, I can’t ruin the Lawrence Institute as well, right?
“Master Lu, if you want to be sure with everything, it would be a sure win. Since it is a sure win, why do you think that others would come to you? The Lu family isn’t one that comes with a glowing reputation.
“The only reason why I found Young Master is that I needed him to make myself famous. You are a businessman as well and should know what it means to take risks. However, please rest assured. Since Hong Lu dares to recommend me to you in the name of the Lawrence Institute, it shows that I wouldn’t be too bad, right?”
Master Lu was still very hesitant.
This was all because the doctor standing right in front of him looked extremely young.
“Professor J, if you don’t mind… Could you tell us your age?”
“Height isn’t a distance, and age shouldn’t be a problem as well. A hero’s origin shouldn’t matter.”
Jing Qian was still smiling as per usual, talking at a calm pace.
Even when she was talking to the Lu family, she was still acting extremely casual towards them.
“If you really must know, I’m not that old. I’m 20 this year.”
Master Lu and Lu Jinian couldn’t believe their ears.
Chapter 230: 230: Learnt it on my own
At that moment, the entire house fell into a deep, eerie silence.
After a while, Master Lu continued asking questions, as he didn’t want to give up.
“Professor J, this may sound rude, but I still have to ask. You know that Jinian is the only grandson in my family; he is extremely important to me and to the Lu family.”
Jing Qian was used to this and didn’t mind dealing with it. She casually opened her arms, her aura and actions making it seem as if she was the king.
“Don’t worry about this. You can continue.”
“I was wondering who your teacher was? Since you are such a young woman, and at your age, you should only be starting college right now. Even if you are a prodigy, you should only be at a Masters degree now. You managed to become a neuro-specialist at such a young age. Who would be so fortunate to have to have a genius like you as their student?”
Jing Qian was used to these sorts of questions. In her previous life, when she became famous, she had faced the same questions as well. However, in that life, she was even younger when she faced that doubt.
Therefore, Jing Qian replied without even thinking it through, “Who would like to have such a genius student like me? Master Lu, if you think about it, you should know that this is impossible since I am the only person left on earth who can treat Young Master. I’m not going to lie, I learned everything on my own.”
“You learned everything on your own?!”
Master Lu was so frightened by Jing Qian’s wild ways that he was already covered in sweat.
“Then… Professor J, are you currently a lecturer or professor in any schools?”
Jing Qian showed a humble smile and answered, “I am currently in my second year of college, and I’m not studying for a medical degree.”
“Huh?”
Master Lu, who had always been a calm, steady man, got so shocked that he almost fell to the side.
What the f**k?!
They called her Professor J, but then brought in a girl that was only 20 years old, currently in college, and not in a medical school?
He had a feeling that his grandson would be going in for a surgery for his legs, but after that, they would tell him that they cut off his head instead.
When he saw how Professor Hong Lu and Jing Qian were still calmly smiling at him, Master Lu didn’t even have the time to be angry at them for fooling him. At this moment, he was only worried that the other party had deliberately tricked them into coming here and were planning to harm them.
He was already an old man and wasn’t worried that he would lose his life here, but Jinian was still young.
Master Lu quickly held onto Jinian’s wheelchair and was about to push him out of the room.
He turned to the duo and said, “Professor Hong, I think that we might need some time to think this through. Please excuse us.”
Jing Qian slowly crossed her arms in front of her chest and said to Master Lu, “You should think about it. Once you miss your opportunity, you may not be able to get a second chance. Your family isn’t the only one with a paralyzed patient, but I only need one to become famous. When that happens, I may refuse to treat you, even if you agree to give me 20% of your family’s shares.”
Master Lu stopped as soon as he heard Jing Qian, his body immediately freezing on the spot.
He suddenly thought of what happened three years ago, when Lu Jinian had first got injured. They found Saka from the Tang Sect and the other party demanded 50% of their shares or the equivalent amount in cash.
However, his stupid son turned her down, even screaming at Saka.
In the end, they realized that there was no one else who could fix Lu Jinian’s leg, which was why they went to Saka once again, agreeing to the 50% of shares that she had demanded before, but the other party refused. Even when they agreed to give up everything, Saka still refused to treat him.
Back then, he hated Saka with all of his guts.
He hated her for being so heartless.
He always thought to himself, ‘If God would only give me a second chance…’
“Grandfather, I want to stay for the surgery.”
