The exchanges on the second day were largely indistinguishable from before. The only difference was the presence of a figure in the ranks of specialist doctors that inspired intense jealousy and envy; Wang Guohai distinctly felt this newcomer didn't quite fit in, despite also holding the title of Chief Specialist.

He had come to terms with the situation entirely, yet felt powerless about it. He was indeed from Changjing Third Hospital, but he wasn't a member of this particular research project; he had only made the trip because the Dean specifically assigned him to attend.

However, the sheer level of envy directed at him also underscored Zhang Yang's undeniable influence. This was the second day of the activity, featuring presentations by students from various universities, with faculty, students, and expert doctors listening intently and posing questions afterward.

Today's schedule moved swiftly, and no further unexpected incidents marred the proceedings. Throughout the day, a few promising talents emerged, validating the quality of their respective institutions' teaching, but none could rival that student from Tongji University, let alone Zhang Yang himself.

Once the day’s activities concluded, no experts frantically rushed over to seek out Zhang Yang. At least, they wouldn't do so in front of Wang Guohai; a certain decorum had to be maintained.

Yesterday's frenzy was a singular event, fueled by Zhang Yang's project combined with the notification from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, creating a massive sensation that left them... // Fast text update from Shumi Lou Two days passed, and all the student presentations were complete.

Tomorrow would feature commentary and comparisons from the professors, along with a few student remarks, concluding the session and ensuring everyone had absorbed a great deal of new knowledge. In this academic exchange, mutual progress remained the paramount objective.

With the enthusiastic crowds gone, Zhang Yang was able to return to a semblance of normal life. Time flew by, and the activities of the third day commenced as scheduled.

Many professors took the stage to offer brilliant critiques, their insights proving more engaging and lucid than many of the preceding student presentations. The day’s events concluded successfully before four in the afternoon.

The theoretical portion of this exchange conference was now effectively over. Starting tomorrow afternoon, the students would intern at four hospitals in Shanghai, this time without the guidance of faculty—a pure test of their practical skills.

Regarding the theoretical sessions, Changjing University was undeniably the top performer; no one disputed this or held any reservations. Zhang Yang's project had captivated every expert, and afterward, many continued to inquire about him.

Some resourceful individuals even managed to procure Zhang Yang’s mobile number. Zhang Yang’s phone had been incessantly ringing these past few days, forcing him to switch it off and adopt a temporary number.

“Zhang Yang, do you have time this afternoon? Shall we go to the Bund?” Leaving the small auditorium, Shi Yan asked Zhang Yang with palpable excitement.

Zhao Qiang, Gao Fei, and Wang Lu were all nearby, their gazes fixed on him. Over these three days, Zhang Yang had completely cemented himself as their nucleus.

For now, he was only the core; they hadn't fully yielded their inner conviction. Zhang Yang wasn't anxious; he still had time.

According to the system's prompts, Zhao Qiang, Wang Lu, and Gao Fei were already completely convinced. Only Shi Yan and Yin Yong had yet to reach that point.

Shi Yan was a proud and spirited girl; winning her true admiration wouldn't be easy. Yin Yong was usually quiet, but Zhang Yang sensed he was a man of strong character with deep-seated principles.

Seeing everyone watching him, their expressions filled with anticipation, Zhang Yang couldn't help but nod: “Alright, we’ll go to the Bund this afternoon!” “Yes! That’s fantastic!

To come to grand Shanghai and not see the Bund would be a true shame!” Zhao Qiang exclaimed excitedly, flashing a V-sign with his fingers, as if Zhang Yang's agreement to visit the Bund was a monumental personal victory for him. “For the Bund trip, let’s just go with our classmates, shall we?

Without the teachers!” Yin Yong, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, causing Zhang Yang a brief moment of surprise before he finally nodded in agreement. For the last two days, Zhu Daoqi and Wang Guohai had accompanied them for any activity.

They behaved casually, devoid of any airs of seniority or authority. But given the significant age gap and their status as elders, the students couldn't fully relax.

Since this was a purely recreational outing, it was better not to have them along. After bidding farewell to Zhu Daoqi, Zhang Yang immediately led his classmates out of the school gates.

Zhu Daoqi trusted them implicitly—or rather, he trusted Zhang Yang completely. Through his observations these past few days, he realized Zhang Yang didn't behave like a student at all; he possessed extraordinary maturity.

In Zhu Daoqi’s estimation, this maturity might well be one of the keys to Zhang Yang’s success. With Zhang Yang leading the way, Zhu Daoqi felt no concern whatsoever.

He decided to meet up with some old classmates himself; this was a rare moment of free time during the conference. Wang Guohai wasn't idle either.

He had also made connections with specialists from other hospitals. While those individuals were jealous of him, they hadn't completely shunned him.

Upon learning that he was closest to Zhang Yang, many proactively sought him out. As medical colleagues, Wang Guohai was happy to network; there might be future needs where he would require their assistance.

Conversely, if they ever needed him, he would certainly offer his help. “Brother Long, this… this is your car?

It’s so stunning, it must be incredibly expensive, right?” Outside the school gate, Zhao Qiang stared exaggeratedly at the Mercedes-Benz driven by Long Feng. Since Zhang Yang was going out, he naturally had to tag along; that was the mark of a qualified bodyguard.

Upon receiving Zhang Yang’s notification, Long Feng had immediately driven over. “Of course, it’s expensive.

This is a Benz, a Benz 600! My god, this car must cost several million, right, Brother Long?” Gao Fei gently touched the emblem on the hood, exclaiming in astonishment.

Zhao Qiang knew nothing about cars, only that it looked nice, but Gao Fei had some knowledge and recognized the vehicle’s value. “I don’t know.

It belongs to Zhang Yang. Ask him!” Long Feng smiled slightly and shook his head.

He had a good impression of these students; they were generally more innocent, lacking the constant maneuvering and deception seen in some others. “This… this is Zhang Yang’s car?” Gao Fei instantly froze, turning back to look at Zhang Yang in disbelief.

Zhao Qiang, Wang Lu, Shi Yan, and Yin Yong all turned around simultaneously, mirroring the surprise. Even those unfamiliar with cars could sense the vehicle's exceptional quality, especially since Shi Yan and Yin Yong were quite discerning.

“Zhang Yang, is this really yours? How much did you buy this car for?” Zhao Qiang immediately moved closer to Zhang Yang to inquire.

Sharing a room with him these past few days, he had positioned himself as Zhang Yang’s closest confidant, showing no false reserve. “There was a car show in Shanghai not long ago.

I went to take a look. I saw this car and thought it was nice, so I bought it.

It wasn't exactly expensive,” Zhang Yang replied with a light smile. He didn't mention the price; he simply felt such details were meaningless and didn't wish to elaborate.

He didn't speak, but someone else did. Shi Yan suddenly interjected: “A Mercedes S600.

It has to be at least over a million, right? And this looks like a high-spec model, probably pushing two million, plus taxes and registration.

The cost will be even higher!” After speaking, Shi Yan stared directly at Zhang Yang, her eyes brimming with intense curiosity. She and Zhang Yang were both in Clinical Medicine.

She had done some background checks before; as far as she knew, Zhang Yang wasn't from a wealthy family, and his daily life hadn't suggested anything extraordinary. How could he have seemingly transformed so completely overnight?

“Two million! Heavens!” Gao Fei visibly flinched and quietly took a step back.

He was terrified of scratching the paint, as he couldn't possibly afford to compensate for even a tiny flaw. In his mind, he was simultaneously calculating how much braised pork he could buy with two million—he never finished the calculation, only concluding it was enough food for a lifetime.

Zhao Qiang wasn't faring much better; the figure of two million had stunned him too. “Ladies first.

Long Feng, you take them to the Bund. The four of us will grab a cab,” Zhang Yang shook his head with a smile, gently diverting the topic.

He then gestured towards Shi Yan and Wang Lu, inviting them into the car. There were seven of them in total, including Long Feng, so one car wouldn't suffice; they needed to split into two vehicles.

The luxury car should naturally go to the ladies; the rest of the boys could take a taxi. “Okay!

Shi Yan, let’s get in!” Wang Lu nodded excitedly. She was an innocent, easygoing girl, thrilled by the prospect of riding in a two-million-dollar car and eager to board immediately.

Shi Yan glanced at Zhang Yang, offered a quick thank you, and then followed Wang Lu into the car. This girl’s perceptiveness was clearly sharper than Wang Lu’s; having worked in a hospital gave her a different perspective than someone who hadn't.

“What a pity,” Zhao Qiang pouted, looking thoroughly disappointed. Gao Fei also showed a trace of regret.

This was a luxury vehicle valued at over two million—in this era, two million represented wealth that many people wouldn't dare to even dream of. Yin Yong also felt a pang of regret, but more importantly, he remained focused on Zhang Yang.

Being able to casually purchase such an extravagant vehicle suggested that Zhang Yang’s family wealth was far more extensive than this. He was beginning to suspect that Long Feng was indeed an escort assigned to Zhang Yang, functioning as a bodyguard.

A wealthy young master who came to school with a bodyguard and drove a luxury car, yet possessed such profound academic knowledge—Yin Yong was becoming increasingly intrigued by Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang remained oblivious to the fact that Yin Yong was now classifying him as a second-generation rich kid.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't bother explaining; in fact, Gao Fei and Zhao Qiang likely harbored similar assumptions. If they knew this money was entirely earned by Zhang Yang himself, their jaws would drop even wider, making their disbelief even greater.

After a short wait, a taxi arrived, and the four boys quickly piled in. The Bund wasn't close; it took nearly an hour to arrive, and that was assuming no traffic jams, which could easily extend the journey past an hour.

It wasn't dark yet; the Bund was at its busiest, with young people strolling in small groups, while older individuals noticeably kept a respectful distance, creating a distinct contrast in scenery. “Zhang Yang, you guys are here too!” Just as they arrived at the Bund and before they could locate Long Feng and the others, five students approached them, greeting them with surprise.

These students were from Xingcheng Xingya Medical College. Xingya Medical College was the farthest away, sending only five students this time.

They were taking advantage of the longer afternoon break to visit the Bund. Xingcheng University Medical College held a minor reputation nationwide, and their affiliated Xingya First and Second Hospitals were renowned nationally, far surpassing Changjing Third Hospital.

“Zhang Yang?” Just as they finished greeting the Xingya Medical College contingent, another group called out from behind. Zhang Yang turned back, shaking his head with a faint smile.

The delegates from Hangzhou Medical University had arrived, accompanied by members of Hangzhou University—over a dozen people in total. Hangzhou had sent the largest contingent this time, with Hangzhou University alone sending nine students.
