"Little Zhang, Old Master Zhao is out of the critical period and has been moved to a VIP ward. We are using your medicine; his condition is excellent. I think he should wake up in a few days!"

Wu Youdao said with a chuckle, leading Zhang Yang inside. He took Old Master Zhao's pulse and confirmed that the recovery was indeed very good.

"Zhang Yang, wait—who was that person just now?"

Behind Zhang Yang, Hu Xin and the others were still standing there in a daze, having heard everything Zhu Zhixiang had said.

That person had personally stated that the hospital had agreed to Zhang Yang’s conditions—offering the school a twenty thousand sponsorship and allowing Zhang Yang to arrange his own working hours. Weren't these the two exact conditions Zhang Yang had proposed yesterday?

"That was Dean Zhu from our hospital, the head honcho!"

Wu Youdao answered the question for Zhang Yang. He had long been notified that the hospital agreed to Zhang Yang's terms and decided to sign him first; he was not surprised at all.

"He’s the Dean? So, you agreed to all of Zhang Yang's conditions?"

Gu Cheng stepped forward and asked anxiously.

If the Dean himself said those things to Zhang Yang, the probability of agreement was almost certainly nine out of ten. Yet, no matter how they discussed or viewed those two conditions yesterday, they seemed utterly impossible.

These impossible conditions—a twenty thousand sponsorship and only working one day a week—the Third Hospital had agreed to them! At this moment, Gu Cheng, Hu Xin, and even Xiao Dai and Nannan felt a sense of frenzied unreality; it wasn't them who were crazy, but the world itself that had gone mad.

How could such terms be accepted? Moreover, the Third Hospital wasn't some small clinic; counting all staff, from full-time employees to temporary workers, it housed several hundred people, occupied multiple buildings, including a twenty-story inpatient tower. How could such a massive hospital indulge Zhang Yang's insanity?

"Yes, the hospital has completely agreed. Little Zhang, let's go in now,"

Wu Youdao nodded with a smile and led Zhang Yang forward again. Hu Xin and the others exchanged glances before following suit. Beneath their shock, an itch of intense curiosity burned in their hearts; they desperately wanted to know why the hospital would agree to Zhang Yang's impossible demands. Hu Xin even started suspecting if Zhang Yang had some hidden connection to the hospital, perhaps his father was a high-ranking official powerful enough to control the hospital, leading them to grant Zhang Yang this exception and accept such brutally stringent terms.

Wu Youdao led them directly to the VIP ward. These rooms included beds for companions, as well as televisions, air conditioning, and private bathrooms—essentially luxury suites within the hospital.

"Sister Mi Xue, you're here! Here, have an apple!"

Several people were sitting nearby. A little girl jumped up immediately upon seeing them, holding a freshly peeled apple in her hand. This girl was Zhao Xue, sharing a name with Mi Xue; she was an adorable little thing who had quickly forged a bond with Mi Xue after meeting yesterday.

"I don't want any, you eat it yourself!"

Mi Xue smiled and shook her head. Zhao Xue tugged her arm and pulled her right over to the bedside. Zhao Xue's mother also greeted Mi Xue with a warm smile. They had a very good impression of Mi Xue. It wasn't just because Mi Xue was a beautiful girl; they knew she had arrived with Zhang Yang yesterday, suggesting a potentially special relationship with him. Since Zhang Yang was the benefactor who saved their patriarch's life, their treatment of Mi Xue was naturally much warmer, extending kindness by association.

"Old Wu, Doctor Xiao Zhang, you've arrived! Please, have a seat, have a seat!"

Director Zhao was also present. He hastily stood up, moving toward Wu Youdao and Zhang Yang. As he spoke to Zhang Yang, his face was etched with sincere gratitude. Director Zhao's father had undergone another examination that morning; all vital signs were extremely stable. Once the issue with his brain was resolved, his father could wake up at any moment. The doctors who examined him were astonished after reviewing the results, constantly muttering words like "miracle," especially since they had conducted the previous tests themselves. Director Zhao clearly knew who had delivered this miracle.

"No rush. Let's focus on the treatment first; it's about time,"

Zhang Yang chuckled softly and shook his head. Wu Youdao had already prepared everything; the silver needles were right there in the room. Zhang Yang required a quiet environment for acupuncture, meaning not so many people could remain in the room. Ultimately, everyone withdrew except for Director Zhao and Wu Youdao, leaving them to wait in the public lounge area outside.

Composing himself, Zhang Yang picked up a needle and slowly inserted it into Old Master Zhao’s body. Today, the initial insertions were not at the Yintang point as yesterday, but at several standard acupuncture points on the chest. Yesterday was an emergency; today's session was for relief and maintenance, requiring less exertion.

Outside, Hu Xin and the others immediately swarmed Mi Xue, demanding answers.

"Mi Xue, what exactly happened? Tell us quickly, we're dying of curiosity!"

Xiao Dai asked first. Like Hu Xin, she was impatient. These two were a perfect match, but since they were too familiar, neither wanted to be the one to break the unspoken barrier first.

"It was like this: yesterday..."

Mi Xue smiled sweetly and slowly recounted the events of the previous day. As she spoke, a sense of pride and accomplishment bloomed within her. The man she favored was indeed extraordinary; he had cured an illness that numerous skilled doctors could not touch. This was true talent, true heroism. Which young girl infatuated with romance wouldn't wish for her Prince Charming to be superior to all others? Mi Xue was no exception. In these few short days, Zhang Yang had become the most perfect man in her eyes.

"That amazing? Zhang Yang saved a patient the hospital had already declared terminal?"

Gu Cheng's jaw dropped first after hearing Mi Xue's account. As a medical student himself, he inherently understood the severity of an illness that baffled so many doctors at the hospital.

"Yes, the Third Hospital only called Zhang Yang when they had no other options. Afterwards, they even said they were fortunate to have called him!"

Mi Xue nodded, her face shining with happy sweetness, as if she herself were the one who saved the patient and earned the respect of those doctors. Fortunately, the group was so absorbed in the shock of the event that they failed to notice this subtle change in her demeanor.

Nannan, being the most observant, suddenly asked, "Mi Xue, you just said the person Zhang Yang saved was the father of the Director of the Health Bureau?"

"Yes, Xiao Xue told me that his father is the Health Bureau Director. Otherwise, the Third Hospital wouldn't have been so tense, and people from the Provincial People's Hospital wouldn't have come to assist!"

Nannan nodded. "No wonder the hospital agreed to Zhang Yang's conditions. The value of this favor is immense. Zhang Yang's luck is truly incredible!"

"Yeah, the father of the Health Bureau Director! After he starts working, Zhang Yang won't have to worry about anything. Wait, this kid doesn't even want to work! How can my luck be so bad?"

Hu Xin wailed from the side, his face looking disgruntled, as if complaining about the unfairness of fate.

"Give it a rest. Even if you had that luck, it wouldn't matter. But since Zhang Yang has such a good relationship with the Third Hospital and saved the Health Bureau Director's father, perhaps we can ask Zhang Yang for help when we graduate and look for jobs!"

Gu Cheng scoffed at Hu Xin. Xiao Dai's eyes lit up at his suggestion. If they wanted to find jobs in Changjing after graduation, having the connection of the Health Bureau Director would make things much simpler.
