Chapter 1528: Old Ma Was Born in the Wrong Era! (First Update)
If people have a common understanding in some aspect.
Or there's mutual recognition on a certain topic.
I think it might include one aspect: raising an exceptional child!
Every parent, whether good or bad, probably hopes their child has a bright future.
Similarly, from the moment of birth, children are endowed with their parents' high expectations to varying degrees.
In today's society, most parents probably hope their children will excel, be successful.
Recently, Lao Ma and Chen Cang stood united on this path!
Others start raising from the cradle onwards.
Lao Ma goes further, starting directly from the sperm!
Chen Cang originally didn't want to get involved, but... when he saw Lao Ma's kid, he felt he should also put in some effort!
Actually, Lao Ma's kid is pretty decent; at thirteen, he's already one meter sixty tall, robust in build, and bears a strong resemblance to Lao Ma.
It's certain; he's definitely the biological son!
Moreover, as soon as the kid speaks, Chen Cang realizes that not only is there a seven-point resemblance, the remaining three points are inherent!
Lao Ma is often scatterbrained, somewhat careless, making Chen Cang very curious as to how Lao Ma manages to be almost obsessively compulsive in surgeries.
Sometimes, Ma Shangjian would come to the hospital to bring things for Lao Ma.
With these visits, they've become acquainted.
During lunch, the three didn't go far, just ate in the hospital cafeteria.
Got to say, the kid has been well educated by Lao Ma's wife. If he doesn't speak, one would surely think he's a great kid!
His dressing style isn't extravagant either. After all, Lao Ma's family is well-off, they shouldn't be short of money, but seeing the kid in Uniqlo further confirmed for Chen Cang why Lao Ma never carries more than 200 as pocket money.
"Today at the clinic, a patient asked if I was the chief director. Hahaha, could my superb medical skills have amazed him? Seems my aura and skills have rapidly improved recently!" Lao Ma said with a laugh.
Chen Cang smiled slightly, not saying a word.
But…
Ma Shangjian had comments: "Dad, are you sure it's not because you look old? Look at your Mediterranean… I'm already worrying about my hairline every day."
Chen Cang couldn't help it, almost bursting into laughter.
The kid is only 13, yet already has Lao Ma's inherent mischief!
It's definitely remarkable.
Now he knew why Lao Ma planned to cultivate another 'little number'; not because Ma Shangjian wasn't outstanding, but because he was too outstanding, almost over the top!
Lao Ma decided to start again with a new account, nurturing from scratch!
Nonetheless, Ma Shangjian was very polite to outsiders, and even more respectful to Chen Cang.
This can't be separated from Lao Ma's education; Lao Ma and Ma Shangjian get along like friends, with a sense of loyalty!
Even their pocket money would be pooled together to treat Chen Cang to kebabs!
Chen Cang believed, if adjusting Lao Ma's age to 15, they could be brothers without any incongruity!
Recently, Chen Cang and Lao Ma have been working out, when resting, they'd read books and listen to music.
Lao Ma cheerfully mentioned: "Anything in prenatal education is too late! What I call is 'essence teaching,' which also means elite education, a double entendre, I'm truly cultured!"
Although Chen Cang didn't believe his theory, but… what if it's effective?
Anyway, there's no loss!
Actually, Chen Cang thought, regardless whether his handsomeness is inherited, it's best if some system could be passed down.
Any inherited system would do!
But, after all, youth surpasses the old.
Any divine tycoon system, whiz-kid system, become-rich-system… all are acceptable!
The TV in the ER office is rarely turned on during the day except for meetings or presenting PPT.
But at night while people are compiling cases, it's often on.
Even if not watching, having the TV on to hear the sounds prevents the atmosphere from being too depressing.
Occasionally, they even crack jokes.
The group of young nurses watches Sisters Who Make Waves when updating medical records in the office.
In this aspect, the male colleagues don't mind.
After all… these sisters were once these guys' goddesses.
But Lao Ma doesn't care for these celebrities.
After eleven, when there were fewer people, Lao Ma started watching The Brain.
He muttered while watching.
"These people are incredible, how can their memory be so good?"
"Fake, it has to be scripted!" Nurse Yang Jie couldn't help but say, "Otherwise how could they be so impressive? Besides… if they were truly talented, why join this show!"
At this moment, hearing their discussion, an ophthalmologist who just finished a consultation said: "Hey, don't say that, there are indeed some geniuses!"
"Wait, let me switch to an episode!" Pediatrician Dr. Qin mysteriously searched on the TV then played an episode, "This boy here, see? His name is Liu Weize."
Lao Ma nodded: "Ah? What about him? This guy has an exceptional memory, he can memorize the sequence of 56 poker cards in 20 seconds! And he's very sensitive to colors!"
Dr. Qin also nodded: "Exactly, this child's eyesight isn't great, but when I tested him last time, he could clearly see the smallest line on the chart with bare eyes, I was stunned!"
"And guess what? His parents told me the kid must've memorized the eye chart!"
"I was bewildered, because our chart sequence is different from outside ones, yet soon enough, he memorized it."
"I initially didn't believe it, so I changed the chart, but… within two minutes, he memorized it again."
"So you see, sometimes there are indeed geniuses, these special memory talents… and this kid is truly being nurtured as a genius by his parents. At only 9, who knows how many Tang poems and Song lyrics he has memorized, he's also studying English and Spanish impressively."
"This truly is a genius!"
Listening to Dr. Qin's words, everyone couldn't help but sigh!
"Seems true geniuses exist!"
"Indeed, incredibly envious, being fertilized eggs, how can the difference be so massive?"
At this point, Dr. Qin suddenly said: "Actually, each has its strengths and weaknesses, perhaps you have some extraordinary talent, just haven't discovered yet!"
The on-duty young doctor beside praised: "Indeed! Dr. Qin makes a good point!"
Lao Ma muttered: "What talents do I have? How haven't I discovered them?"
Yang Jie couldn't help but glance at Lao Ma: "You? You forget your reincarnation skills maxed out? If you were born earlier, you might've had a shot at being an emperor!"
Upon hearing that, Lao Ma grew even more disheartened!
Yes, born in the wrong era.
