When the Doctor Uses A Hack

The price of being ignored is having nowhere to show off!

This left Chen Cang, who had clinched first place, feeling unbearably stifled.

Busy all morning, Chen Cang hadn't found the time to show off to anyone.

Finally taking a break, everyone sat in the office to relax.

Chen Cang looked at Old Ma and felt he should make the first move. Unable to hold back, he asked, "Team Leader Ma, don't you want to ask where I've been these past two days?"

Ma Yuehui heard this and immediately became wary. He coughed and said, "Oh! You weren't around? I didn't notice!"

Chen Cang was instantly rendered speechless!

Nearly suffered internal injuries.

What a vicious move!

When did this Ma Hanhan become so clever?

Old Ma glanced at Chen Cang and, seeing his constipated expression, suddenly chuckled, unable to hold back his laughter. "Cang Er, do you know who's treating me to lunch today?"

"Taking me along?"

Old Ma sighed, "In principle, based on our friendship, I should take you!"

"But today it's business, not personal, so there's nothing I can do!"

Saying this, Old Ma lowered his voice mysteriously and said to Chen Cang.

"The capital city's municipal leaders and Health Commission officials are hosting a banquet for our Sharp Knife Team!"

Chen Cang was intrigued: "Why?"

At this moment, Old Ma looked a bit smug.

"Why? Because of the contribution our emergency team made over the past year, we've been awarded the title of 'Capital Emergency Vanguard.' Of course, we've got to attend!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang couldn't help but give a thumbs-up: "Impressive!"

He was genuinely impressed.

After all, this title was earned through hard work.

Chen Cang had witnessed firsthand how exhausting the Sharp Knife Team's daily life was.

This meal invitation was well-deserved!

However, seeing Old Ma's triumphant expression, Chen Cang still felt a bit annoyed.

Soon after, Old Ma's phone rang, and he stepped out to take a few calls.

When he returned, his face was glowing as he said to Chen Cang, "We're heading to the Great Hall of the People for lunch today. You've probably never been there, right?"

"Hey! When I go, I'll take a picture for you. Even if you can't go, you'll have something to show off later!"

Saying this, Old Ma seriously looked at Chen and said, "Cang Er, considering our friendship, I promise you can use my photos to impress others!"

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!

Lunch at the Great Hall of the People?

Damn!

This time, Chen Cang was really jealous!

Is Ma Hanhan actually this awesome?

In Chen Cang's impression, the Great Hall of the People was a sacred place, where state banquets were held.

Of course.

What Chen Cang didn't know was that the Great Hall of the People is also open to the public, although the prices aren't cheap.

But the significance is entirely different.

Hosting a banquet at the Great Hall of the People is clearly a gesture of utmost respect. It leaves an entirely different impression.

Watching Old Ma leave happily, Chen Cang felt a surge of envy.

There's no denying it—standing near a river long enough means sooner or later you'll get wet.

After all his time showing off to Old Ma, finally having Old Ma one-up him wasn't easy.

At this moment, Yu Yonggang stepped out, dressed in a suit despite the sweltering summer. Chen Cang couldn't help but wonder: isn't he hot?

Soon, Li Yue, Xu Aiqing, and the others came out too.

Each one of them was dressed formally.

Old Ma smiled at Chen Cang: "I'll make sure to take some photos for you!"

Chen Cang glared at Old Ma with frustration.

This provoked laughter from Yu Yonggang and the others.

But honestly, everyone took this banquet very seriously.

Not long after Ma Yuehui and the team left, Chen Cang's phone rang too.

"Professor Chen, where are you right now?" Yu Yi's voice came through.

Chen Cang suddenly recalled those few glorious days in his life when he actually had a secretary.

"I'm at the emergency center."

Yu Yi responded quickly, "Oh, please wait there, we'll be right over."

Chen Cang was curious and paused for a moment: "What's going on?"

Yu Yi explained, "Director Xiao asked me to come pick you up."

Only then did Chen Cang remember that Director Xiao had cryptically mentioned yesterday that someone wanted to see him.

Shortly after, an Audi slowly pulled up.

Yu Yi got out and waved at Chen Cang.

"Professor Chen, hop in."

After getting in the car, Chen Cang curiously asked, "Yu Yi, where are we headed?"

Yu Yi smiled mysteriously and said, "The Great Hall of the People."

Chen Cang froze: "What are we doing there?"

Yu Yi answered matter-of-factly, "It's lunchtime. What else would we be doing?"

Chen Cang was stunned!

"Today, the Health Commission's Director Xiao and the Ministry of Science and Technology's Director Cao are officially hosting a banquet for you!"

Saying this, Yu Yi lowered his voice, "Professor Chen, I heard someone specifically requested a banquet at the Great Hall of the People just for you today!"

"You're seriously amazing. This kind of treatment is beyond words!"

Chen Cang couldn't help but swallow nervously.

For Directors Xiao and Cao to personally accompany him—just how significant is this?

The difference between Xiao's department and others like Kong Xiangmin's was substantial.

To have leaders at this level personally host a banquet for him...

For a moment, Chen Cang felt genuinely overwhelmed.

After parking the car, Chen Cang stood gazing at the dignified and solemn Great Hall of the People, pausing briefly.

He hadn't expected to be invited here one day!

It was his first time here—Chen Cang followed Yu Yi inside.

The marble floors, the peach-colored marble pillars decorating the hall—all radiated an aura of elegance and grandeur.

Although it lacked the extravagant opulence of something like the Emirates Palace Hotel, it inherently carried an unmatched sense of prestige.

Yu Yi pointed to the building's upper floors and said, "This is the Reception Hall, home to the largest painting in the Great Hall of the People: 'Splendid Mountains and Rivers.'"

Yu Yi led Chen Cang over to take a look.

At first glance, Chen Cang was struck and overwhelmed by the majestic and awe-inspiring imagery.

"This was created by renowned painters Fu Baoshi and Guan Shanyue, inspired by Chairman Mao's poem 'Snow' from his 'Qinyuan Chun' series. The title of the painting was personally inscribed by Chairman Mao himself!"

Chen Cang nodded silently, looking up and pausing for several minutes, and Yu Yi didn't interrupt.

This is vision, isn't it?

The Tang and Song emperors fell short in comparison!

Heroes of history—they're here and now!

Chen Cang couldn't help but feel moved by the magnificence of the land. Turning back, his eyes now burned with newfound determination.

Just then, a spry elderly man in his sixties noticed him.

"Director, that's Chen Cang," Xiao Runfang said with a smile, pointing ahead.

The elderly man faintly smiled and nodded slightly: "Hmm, not bad!"

Xiao Runfang froze for a moment, exchanging glances of surprise with Cao Yu.

Just one look, and the leader gave a positive assessment?
