Chapter 87 Taking on an Old Apprentice



Qian Zhongwei is a genuine oncology expert. He is 58 years old this year, 36 years older than Li Yi, and half of his hair is white. But now he is kneeling in front of Li Yi, which has shocked everyone!

Everyone looked at each other, bewildered, with no idea what had happened.

Even several experts at Peking Union Medical College Hospital didn't know what had happened.

"???????" Li Yi was also completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Is this old man trying to scam me because his medical skills are inferior?

Depend on!

I'm calling the police!

Before Li Yi could make a move, Qian Zhongwei kowtowed three times to Li Yi before saying, "Professor Li, traditional Chinese medicine is truly amazing. Your medical skills are superb, and I sincerely admire you. I would like to learn traditional Chinese medicine; may I become your apprentice?"

Li Yi rubbed his ears and asked, "What did you say?"

Qian Zhongwei said, “Professor Li, I earnestly request that you accept me as your apprentice so that I may have the opportunity to deeply study the essence of traditional Chinese medicine and pass on this profound medical knowledge. I have been engaged in oncology research for decades and know that although Western medicine has its unique advantages in certain areas, when faced with complex and ever-changing diseases, the conditioning and radical treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine can often bring unexpected results. Today, witnessing your medical miracle of curing a comatose patient with late-stage liver cancer, I am deeply shocked and completely conquered by the charm of traditional Chinese medicine. I want to learn traditional Chinese medicine!”

Li Yi was speechless!

So this old man wanted to become an apprentice?

Another one?

Previously, there was a gang leader named Guo Kui who insisted on becoming Li Yi's apprentice and learning martial arts.

Now, even the head of the oncology department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital wants to become his apprentice and learn medicine.

Depend on!

Brother, you're so young and handsome, do you really look that much like Master?

I'd like to teach you guys, but it's all thanks to the system; I can't teach you either!

Thinking of this, Li Yi went to help Qian Zhongwei up, saying, "Director Qian, please don't joke around, please get up quickly."

Qian Zhongwei refused to get up, saying, "If Professor Li doesn't agree, I won't get up."

Li Yi: "Director Qian, why are you doing this? Western medicine has its strengths, and traditional Chinese medicine has its wonders. Each has its own advantages. You are already the head of the department, a State Council Special Allowance Expert, and your medical skills are superb. Why would you want to become my apprentice?"

Qian Zhongwei said, “It’s different! Those are just empty titles. Although you don’t have those empty titles, your medical skills are far superior to mine. You can snatch people back from the brink of death. You are a miracle doctor! Master, please accept me as your disciple.”

Li Yi was speechless.

Damn it, they're trying to pin this on me now?

"Director Qian, this..."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were all stunned.

They knew that Director Qian was a man of strong emotions, but they never expected that he would kneel down in public and perform the apprenticeship ceremony for a younger generation, refusing to get up until he agreed.

Even Zhang Yifei, lying on the hospital bed, covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Professor Li, why don't you just agree!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi said, "Alright, I'll reluctantly agree. Here's what we'll do: you'll become my disciple for now. I don't have time to teach you medicine, but if you have any difficult or complicated illnesses that you can't solve, you can call or video call me for advice. You don't need to start learning traditional Chinese medicine from scratch; that would be a waste of your time. You can learn more about traditional Chinese medicine therapy and combine it with Western medicine when treating patients."

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Qian Zhongwei's eyes. Although Professor Li had only accepted him as a nominal disciple, it was already very kind of him.

Qian Zhongwei nodded hurriedly, then kowtowed three times to Li Yi, saying, "Master, you are a man of noble character. It is my greatest honor to have received your guidance. In the future, I will humbly learn from you. Thank you, Master!"

Li Yi: "Alright, get up."

Qian Zhongwei then got up.

When Li Yi saw that the man's forehead was bruised from kowtowing, it seemed that he was truly willing to become a disciple.

Several other experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital immediately stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations, Director Qian, on achieving your wish."

"Yes, Director Qian is now studying traditional Chinese medicine under Professor Li. With the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, he will surely shine even brighter in the oncology department!"

Qian Zhongwei was also very happy and said, "Then it depends on Master's guidance."

Li Yi was also very happy. He was an expert in traditional Chinese medicine, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to give him some pointers, which would also help promote traditional Chinese medicine further.

Zhang Guangyu said happily, "Today is truly a day of double joy. Professor Li has greatly improved my daughter's health, and Director Qian has become Professor Li's student. It's a double celebration! Come on, let's go have dinner first. We can chat later!"

Li Yi: "Okay, let's go eat first, I'm really hungry."

Li Yi then instructed Yang Luoxia and Zhang Yifei, saying, "By the way, she hasn't eaten for several days, so don't give her any hard food for now. Let her drink some lean meat porridge or other liquid or semi-liquid foods first. Once her body has adjusted, she can eat whatever she wants tomorrow."

Yang Luoxia: "Okay, thank you, Professor Li."

Zhang Yifei: "Professor Li, wait a minute, can I add you on WeChat?"

Li Yi: "Of course!"

The two quickly added each other on WeChat.

Zhang Yifei said happily, "Professor Li, you should go eat."

The group then moved to a nearby upscale restaurant for dinner.

The restaurant has large, luxuriously decorated private rooms, and serves dishes made with the finest delicacies.

Li Yi had been to high-end restaurants before, and after a quick look, he estimated that this meal would cost at least 100,000 yuan.

"Professor Li, Yifei is so grateful to you. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know how we would survive. You brought happiness to our family. Professor Li, I'd like to toast you!" Zhang Guangyu raised his glass to Li Yi from time to time to express his gratitude.

"Mr. Zhang, no need to be so polite, bottoms up!" Li Yi downed the drink in one gulp.

Qian Zhongwei sat down next to Li Yi with a big smile, and frequently raised his glass to toast his master, Li Yi: "Master, I can tell that you don't like worldly ties, yet you still took me, an old disciple. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future. Master, I'd like to toast you."
