The Martial Doctor

"Mr. Xu, Mr. An, Xia, do you want to nominate me to enter the top ten renowned physicians of Dongshan?" Lin Miao was somewhat surprised after hearing their intention.

"Yes, with the volume of consultations and reputation you’ve built over the past year in Dongshan City, no one is more qualified as long as you agree to be nominated!" Xia Yuan said.

Among the three, he was the most staunch supporter.

There was something else he didn’t say: regarding medical skills, Lin Miao is undoubtedly the crown of Dongshan’s renowned medical practitioners.

Who dares to claim their medical skills surpass Lin Miao’s? Let them come forth. Many patients deemed incurable, or with untreatable conditions, who were transferred to Lin Miao’s care, all saw significant improvements. Some even returned to normal life after a period of treatment, greatly reducing the burden on their families without bankrupting a single one.

Such medical skills and benevolence, though some may not verbally acknowledge, none dare to publicly criticize.

"Our Xu Family also supports this." Xu Zheng stated. With Ye Shengyuan’s fall, the Xu Family surely benefits—at least the mountain that stood in their way has been moved.

It doesn’t guarantee they could surpass the Ye Family in future developments, but at the very least, without the Ye Family’s suppression, the Xu Family’s future path will be smoother.

Lin Miao is a true dragon; he can’t possibly stay in Dongshan forever. Even if this is where his career began, he will return in the future.

But given his youth, he surely won’t be content with the status quo; venturing out is inevitable.

So even as a competitor, Lin Miao won’t be an enemy to the Xu Family. Moreover, Xu Zheng has always hoped Lin Miao would become his son-in-law.

The customary matchmaker’s proposal is likely impossible, but if he could be included in the inner quarters, it would be an immeasurable boon for the Xu Family.

The Xu Family lacks a pillar of support.

Lin Miao might not have reached that level of maturity yet, but what about the future?

Even someone like Wen Ruyu respects him, and if Lin Miao becomes a national healer in the future, Xu Qixi marrying Lin Miao as a concubine would bring great honor.

Especially considering Lin Miao’s sense of loyalty and righteousness; even if he becomes famous in the future, he won’t forget the Xu Family.

However, Lin Miao has yet to agree to the marriage proposal with Xu Qixi, which remains a concern for Xu Zheng and Xu An.

The girl Xu Qixi clearly has her heart set on Lin Miao; finding her another suitable husband would be unlikely to sway her.

"Gentlemen, my qualifications are still shallow; this title of top ten renowned physicians of Dongshan Prefecture should be set aside. After all, I am not yet even a physician. I recall that to be selected as a renowned physician, one must at least be a physician serving the Dongshan Prefecture for over three years. I don’t qualify on either count," Lin Miao said. He truly doesn’t care for this honorary title; to speak frankly, the mere title of a top ten renowned physician of Dongshan doesn’t appeal to him.

"These criteria were set to filter out some candidates and are not rigid requirements. You are a person of Dongshan Prefecture and are completely unrestricted," Xia Yuan stated.

"Though that may be, even if chosen, it would undermine fairness. I am still young, and whether I have this title of renowned physician doesn’t matter much to me." Lin Miao chuckled, having guessed some of their intentions; they simply wanted to brand him with the ’Dongshan Prefecture’ mark.

No matter where he goes or what achievements or titles he attains, the starting point would still be this renowned physician of Dongshan Prefecture.

"I’ve already been appointed as the Deputy Director of the Dongshan Medical Bureau; do you still fear I would forget my identity as a person of Dongshan?" Lin Miao smiled, "Let’s just do a replacement instead; it’s better this way. At this juncture, our line of medical practitioners in Dongshan Prefecture must stay united rather than deplete ourselves internally. As practitioners of medicine, we must have a compassionate heart and not seek those empty titles."

Hearing these words, the three were deeply moved. Even the youngest among them is nearly fifty, having lived half a lifetime, yet they realize that an eighteen-year-old has a broader perspective and clearer insight, leaving them utterly ashamed.

"Very well, then, according to Mr. Lin’s wishes, we’ll withdraw the nomination proposal."

"Alright."

"The Ye Family has fallen, but our lineage of medical practitioners in Dongshan must not fall. Is there a new candidate for the President of the Physician Association?" Lin Miao asked.

"By no merits of my own, many colleagues have nominated me to succeed as President." Xu Zheng’s old face reddened. Without Ye Shengyuan, he indeed is the best candidate for President.

They once competed, resulting in his defeat.

"That’s excellent, I also support Mr. Xu in assuming the role of President of the Physician Association." Lin Miao nodded. Xu Zheng is considered one of his own, and having him as President of the Physician Association is beneficial to Lin Miao.

"And the Pharmacist Association? Has the previous Mr. Gong been removed by you?"

"Gong Zida was basically Ye Shengyuan’s echo. In his position as President, he acted with many injustices, so naturally, he couldn’t remain. We dismissed him, but we haven’t yet found a suitable replacement for the Pharmacist Association. Mr. Lin, do you have any candidates?" Xu Zheng asked indignantly.

"I’m not familiar with the internals of the Pharmacist Association, so I have no candidates. The three of you shouldn’t ask me." Lin Miao waved his hand and smiled.

After discussing business matters, they chatted idly about the aftermath of Ye Shengyuan’s capture, especially the chaos and price hikes in Dongshan Prefecture’s wholesale medicinal market.

Lin Miao truly hadn’t paid much attention to this. However, Pei Jian had sealed off Ye Family’s medicinal stores, which indeed would stir market disturbances.

The medicine stocks stored by the Ye Family not only belonged to the Ye Family but also to other families. If everything is sealed, others’ businesses will be impacted.

But sealing requires tallying and differentiating the stocks; otherwise, the case would be mishandled. If the court holds investigations, Pei Jian would bear the blame.
