There were foreigners, Chinese people, and a large number of Black people!
There are at least several dozen people in this open-air garden!
Gao Jianfei couldn't help but look around and observe carefully.
Among the people in the open-air garden, some were carrying medical kits marked with a red cross, wearing white coats, and some even had stethoscopes around their necks. They were clearly doctors!
Some of the Chinese people were dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and carrying bags of Chinese herbal medicine. They smelled of herbs and were clearly people who spent a lot of time in Chinese herbal medicine shops. Obviously, these were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine!
In addition, some foreigners were holding pens and notebooks, taking notes. Others were using laptops to write things down.
There were also some carrying cameras and microphones, looking just like TV reporters!
In the open-air garden, there were also some well-dressed blond foreigners in suits, nervously explaining things to other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Western medicine doctors, and reporters.
The scene appeared somewhat chaotic.
Soon, a foreigner carrying a medical kit walked out of a room in the villa behind the garden with a disappointed look on his face, shrugged, and said something in a foreign language.
Gao Jianfei had previously encountered a Level 1 ghost who was fluent in English, so he understood that the foreigner was speaking in English… “I’m sorry, I can’t help you. Mr. Thomson’s illness is extremely complex; it’s practically a huge medical challenge!”
A foreigner dressed in a suit, who looked like a press officer, immediately thanked the doctor and arranged for him to leave.
Then, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor dressed in a Tang suit walked eagerly into the villa room.
"Huh? A queue for medical treatment?" Gao Jianfei realized something was amiss and said with a mixture of amusement and disbelief.
Mayor Zuo explained from the side, "Miracle Doctor, as I told you before, the U.S. 'government' attaches great importance to Mr. Thomson's illness and hopes that someone can cure him. Therefore, they have issued a huge reward. Every day, there is an endless stream of Chinese medicine and Western medicine doctors trying to treat Mr. Thomson!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianfei nodded... Wow, it's true that a great reward always brings forth brave men! Damn, I bet all the world's top doctors are rushing to Thomson's place!
"Heh, Mayor Zuo, why didn't you find some famous doctors here when you were treating the old man?" Gao Jianfei joked.
“Ha, miracle doctor, I can’t afford the conditions offered by the American ‘government’. Besides, I’ve tried to find doctors here to treat my father, but… ha, miracle doctor, their medical skills are no match for yours…” Zuo Qing quietly gave a thumbs up.
Gao Jianfei chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "This mayor is quite adorable."
After a pause, Mayor Zuo said to Gao Jianfei, "Dr. Thomson, look over there. They're reporters from famous American newspapers and magazines, as well as American television reporters. Let me tell you, Thomson used to be a local official in the United States. He did a great job, implementing many policies that benefited the people, and was deeply loved and supported by many Americans. In addition, Mr. Thomson is also a novelist, so he enjoys some fame in the United States. That's why the American 'government' is paying so much attention to him, and those television and newspaper reporters are here to follow and record Mr. Thomson's illness. If they can encounter the miraculous doctor who can bring Mr. Thomson back from the dead and cure him, that would be excellent news material. If he can't be cured and Mr. Thomson eventually dies, then we can also make a memorial program for Mr. Thomson's passing."
"Oh." Gao Jianfei nodded. Then he saw that there were still a lot of doctors queuing up, wanting to go in and treat Thomson. If Gao Jianfei were to queue up, he would probably be number 30...40!
Gao Jianfei had no desire to wait in line!
His medical skills are so amazing that it would be an insult to have to wait in line to treat a patient!
"Mayor Zuo, since Mr. Thomson's condition is so serious, please make an exception for me and tell those foreigners to let me go in and see him first," Gao Jianfei said directly.
Zuo Qing showed a slight hint of embarrassment, but he quickly nodded to Gao Jianfei, then walked directly to the front and spoke in hushed tones in English to a man who resembled a news official.
Gao Jianfei waited where he was.
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei noticed that some of the doctors standing next to Zuo Qing and the foreigner dressed as a press officer were turning around and looking at Gao Jianfei with great dissatisfaction.
Gao Jianfei immediately understood... Damn it, it seems these guys overheard about the back door deal!
Soon, a commotion arose from the other end. There was English and Chinese...
"How can this be allowed? How can you cut in line?"
“Look at him, he’s so young, dressed fashionably, and he didn’t even bring any medical equipment. How could he possibly be a doctor…”
"The quality of people from your country Z is terrible!"
"No! We can't let him cut in line; he's breaking the rules!"
Chapter 263 Challenging World-Renowned Doctors
Chapter 263 Challenging World-Renowned Doctors
No cutting in line!
In Mr. Thomson's villa garden, one doctor after another turned to glare angrily at Gao Jianfei. Their eyes revealed obvious dissatisfaction and disdain.
A generous reward always brings forth brave men. It's fair to say that every day, quite a few people come here hoping to cure Mr. Thomson's illness!
It wasn't just doctors from country Z; there were also doctors from all over the world!
Of course, the doctors who came because of the reward included experts from major medical institutions around the world, as well as renowned folk healers. Even a large number were unlicensed practitioners with folk remedies, hoping to try their luck!
A mixed bag!
The US government went to great lengths to maintain the situation. They established a rule: queuing for medical treatment!
This rule initially faced opposition from some authoritative medical experts, who argued that it questioned the credibility of their expertise. Therefore, the US government granted these so-called medical experts priority access to practice medicine. However, the result was embarrassing. Those experts who received priority access entered the villa full of hope and high spirits to treat Mr. Thomson, only to emerge dejected and crestfallen. All the experts with priority access were unanimously proven wrong! They were helpless in treating Mr. Thomson's condition!
So, for a while afterward, no one was willing to put on a brave face and fight for priority medical treatment; everyone followed the order. It was as if it had become a tacit agreement.
However, it was obvious that the conversation between Mayor Zuo Qing and the American "government" personnel stationed in Mr. Thomson's villa area was overheard by the nearby doctors! As a result, the news that Gao Jianfei wanted to "cut in line" spread like ripples among the doctors!
Soon, dozens of medical staff members present all turned around frequently to look at Gao Jianfei. A cacophony of voices rose and fell!
If Gao Jianfei were a renowned doctor, the medical staff present could have remained calm and refrained from commenting on his "cutting in line." But the strange thing was Gao Jianfei's appearance; it was completely out of character for a doctor… stylishly dressed and very young!
"Ha, buddy, looks like another guy trying his luck! Look how clumsy he is!"
"Yeah, I'd rather believe that guy is a celebrity than believe he's a doctor! It's ridiculous!"
...
The criticisms on the field are growing.
At this moment, Mayor Zuo Qing, accompanied by two American men in suits, walked directly towards Gao Jianfei.
As Zuo Qing approached Gao Jianfei, he explained in English while gesturing wildly, engaging in a tense exchange with the two American men in suits.
They spoke quite quickly, and Gao Jianfei could only make out the gist of it.
Basically, Zuo Qing vigorously promoted Gao Jianfei's medical skills to the two American men in suits, and guaranteed that no doctor in the room could do better than Gao Jianfei.
The two American men in suits remained skeptical. They scrutinized Gao Jianfei from head to toe with sharp, brush-like eyes, their gazes filled with obvious disdain. They shook their heads repeatedly, muttering, "n, n, n."
Zuo Qing, standing to the side, was so anxious that his face turned red. Then, he even brought up his title as mayor... "Gentlemen, I am the mayor of this city! I hereby guarantee with my own reputation that this doctor can absolutely help Mr. Thomson!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the two American men in suits could only patiently continue their conversation with Zuo Qing. After all, these guys were from D City, and they had to give Zuo Qing some face.
"Are you sure you're a doctor? But I don't think you're a doctor." Finally, an American man in a suit spoke to Gao Jianfei in English. "In terms of qualifications, if you were to work in the medical field, at your age, you could only ever become an assistant or an apprentice at most."
Gao Jianfei's spoken English is very poor; he can only barely understand what they say, but he cannot communicate with them in English.
Gao Jianfei could only say to Zuo Qingdao, "Tell them to give me five minutes. I'll go in and check on Mr. Thomson. If it doesn't work out, I'll leave immediately."
Zuo Qing nodded and translated Gao Jianfei's words into English: "Please give me the time, 5 minutes, we only need 5 minutes!"
The two American men in suits exchanged a glance, and finally nodded. "Then, please follow me!"
Gao Jianfei smiled with relief and, together with Zuo Qing, followed the two American men in suits.
"Oh! Unbelievable!" The doctors over there gasped in disbelief! They couldn't believe that the American side would allow that young man in his early twenties to go in and treat Mr. Thomson!
"No! Gentlemen, to give him priority in medical treatment would be an insult to all of us! A huge insult!" a Black man screamed in English.
His words immediately drew a response, and all the doctors, whether foreigners or Chinese, began to clamor in dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, reporters from American magazines, newspapers, and television stations all focused their attention on this farce, swarming over in this direction!
The camera flashes clicked away, and some journalists typed furiously on their laptops.
Through the faint sounds, Gao Jianfei could hear several American television hosts, seemingly already recording a program, chattering into microphones. "Viewers at home, Mr. Thomson's condition is worsening! And today, the line of doctors wanting to treat him still numbers in the double digits! Of course, this isn't surprising; it's been the same every day since we moved into Mr. Thomson's villa. But today, the only difference is that a young man from China, around 20 years old, is requesting priority treatment for Mr. Thomson. Ladies and gentlemen, he's only in his early twenties! He's so young! What can he bring us? Another disappointment, or a miracle? Let's wait and see!"
After he finished speaking, some cameras began to be pointed at Gao Jianfei.
The sexy American female hosts holding microphones rushed directly towards Gao Jianfei.
"Hi! Good afternoon, handsome young man from the East." A blonde woman in a red low-cut t-shirt greeted Gao Jianfei in a friendly manner. "Excuse me, are you confident in helping our respected and lovely Mr. Thomson?"
The situation was extremely chaotic. Gao Jianfei took a deep breath, then, with a faint smile on his lips, he said in Chinese, "Your question is difficult to answer, but I need five minutes. That's all. After five minutes, I think I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Immediately, translators translated Gao Jianfei's words into English. American journalists and television presenters recorded every single word Gao Jianfei said verbatim.
Just as these guys were about to ask more questions, Gao Jianfei hurriedly walked towards the villa and whispered to Zuo Qing, "Tell these flies not to waste my time here! This is for medical treatment, not a talent show!"
"Ha, American newspapers and television stations, they're really... really incredibly boring!" Mayor Zuo chuckled and muttered. Soon after, he expressed his protest in English to the two American men in suits leading the way.
Then one of the American men in a suit turned around and chased away the reporters and hosts who were giving him a headache.
On the other hand, the doctors present were all talking incessantly, relentlessly protesting and questioning Gao Jianfei.
Gao Jianfei was furious. "Fine, you annoying bastards! I only need five minutes, ha... I will use five minutes to prove your stupidity and ignorance!"
Gao Jianfei spoke these words loudly and without any restraint, immediately silencing the noisy scene!
"Hiss!" Gao Jianfei's arrogance silenced the doctors. They looked at him with extreme disdain and anger.
"Young man, you're here to strike it rich, aren't you? But you've come to the wrong place!" A condescending Chinese medicine doctor from China shouted at Gao Jianfei, taking advantage of his age.
The old Chinese medicine doctor's words were quickly echoed, and a group of doctors even slightly blocked Gao Jianfei and his group's path!
The American staff at the scene tried their best to intervene, but the doctors all insisted that... "They were not convinced, and Gao Jianfei obediently lined up at the back, so they had nothing to say. However, he wanted to enjoy priority in medical treatment, so his persuasiveness was insufficient! He did not have any valid documents to prove that he was a renowned doctor!"
"Then... let's make a bet!" Gao Jianfei laughed angrily. "Do you dare? I only need five minutes to determine whether I can treat Mr. Thomson. If I ultimately fail to treat him, then I lose, and I'm willing to apologize to you all and satisfy your lofty vanities; but... if I can treat Mr. Thomson, then all of you, every single one of you, will have to bow your heads and apologize to me!"
"Oh! How interesting, I smell gunpowder! This is a good sniff! We've had a good day!" A reporter from an American newspaper smiled, as if he wanted to stir up trouble.
The television cameras captured everything without missing a single detail.
Simply put, what's happening right now is... a guy in his early twenties who calls himself a doctor is going to take on at least 30 doctors and medical experts who have a certain reputation in society!
It has many selling points!
Gao Jianfei was also disgusted by these guys. In addition, Gao Jianfei was a gambling expert. So today, he would gamble with these so-called famous doctors!
Gao Jianfei's words were quickly translated into several languages and reached the ears of the doctors.
The doctors all said they were willing to take the gamble with Gao Jianfei!
"I really hope that when you apologize later, you'll be more sincere," a bald, elderly medical authority from Belgium said to Gao Jianfei with a sneer.
"I hope you can also maintain a humble and sincere attitude and apologize to me, dear doctors," Gao Jianfei retorted without backing down, then walked directly towards a house in the villa!
Mayor Zuo quickly followed behind and whispered to Gao Jianfei, "Miracle Doctor, I guarantee that if you can cure Mr. Thomson's illness, you will become famous throughout the world's medical community!"
"I'll give it a try," Gao Jianfei shrugged.
Immediately, two American men in suits led Gao Jianfei and Zuo Qing directly to the room where Mr. Thomson was being accommodated.
"Oh, he's in! Ladies and gentlemen, the young man who calls himself a doctor has entered Mr. Thomson's ward! I think you've all seen what just happened! He has challenged all the medical authorities present! This is truly incredible! Among the doctors present are Professor Sforza from the Belgian National Academy of Medicine; Mr. Hermann, a renowned internist from Mannheim, Germany; and Mr. Smolarec, the vice president of the Mexican Folk Medical Association… Oh, they have all been challenged by that young man… What will happen next? Let's wait and see!"
Numerous cameras were set up right outside the villa! The blond presenters were giving a scathing report. Meanwhile, print journalists had already gotten ahead, posting their reports on their Weibo accounts!
