I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1025: A Person with Unyielding Integrity

Zhang Xiaodong stared blankly at the bustling crowd, his heart heavy, a feeling of helplessness continuously spreading through his chest. The world is so unfair; he’s just an ordinary veteran, having no particular skill after discharge, living in this world with great effort.

He really fought very, very hard to live and strive for his wife and newly born child, but all of this seemed like a joke, erased by a few words from a ten-year-old brat!

Now, aside from losing his job, his wife’s job is also gone. She received a notice of contract termination during maternity leave, even willing to pay breach compensation.

It’s not just him and his wife; their parents’ jobs are gone too. They are close to retirement age, and by normal progress, they could retire amongst colleagues’ envy and enjoy pension in their later years.

But now, suddenly dismissed at such an age, the strange looks from colleagues are suffocating for all four elders, who now only sigh and cry at home.

Both families now have no work. Who will raise the newborn child? Rely on savings? How long can they last?!

Zhang Xiaodong is bewildered, feeling waves of despair. Are those people truly so capable? With such capability, why make life difficult for ordinary people like us, just to demonstrate your power?

In fact, being dismissed isn’t the real reason for Zhang Xiaodong’s despair; it’s that no matter where he or his family go to seek jobs, no one wants them. It seems like there’s a unanimous agreement, even for jobs like street sweeping or toilet cleaning. Zhang Xiaodong interviewed for them, as long as it’d provide a monthly salary, but without exception, all doors were shut.

That is the reason for his despair. The opponent’s power is too formidable, too widespread; he lacks even the slightest ability to resist.

What should be done next? Leave this city?

Ha, the only retreat thought of was this, but...

Zhang Xiaodong clearly remembers the person in the suit standing arrogantly in front of him, saying, ”No matter where you go, the result is the same. As long as you’re in the country, don’t think about turning over a new leaf this lifetime. Offend our Miss, and prepare for starvation.”

Zhang Xiaodong doesn’t doubt the other party has such ability, because he’s already witnessed it; going abroad? With their family condition, they can’t afford the expenses of going abroad, let alone guarantee finding a way out once there?

Now, Zhang Xiaodong has no idea what to do. The opponent blocked all their retreat paths.

He even wonders, if he were to relive that day would he bow and bend?

Every time Zhang Xiaodong thinks of this, it pains him. He feels he’d still refuse to bow, but seeing the current predicament, he thinks he should bow.

His heart wavering and conflicted, everything around him seems distant, the surroundings becoming empty and unreal. As for someone standing in front of him? He’s completely unaware.

Luo Yirui realized he’d been standing in front of Zhang Xiaodong for so long without any reaction, still swaying in front of him, raising a hand to gently tap the back of his neck.

Zhang Xiaodong jolted awake, looking up in a daze to see a charming cute boy standing before him, gazing at him.

He unconsciously reached to touch the back of his neck, what just happened?

”Awake now?” Luo Yirui slightly tilted his head and said.

Zhang Xiaodong hadn’t really paid attention to the little boy, but upon hearing this, suddenly turned, ”Did you tap my neck just now?”

Luo Yirui shook his head, ”Just a light tap. Your previous state was damaging your spirit’s core.”

Zhang Xiaodong didn’t quite understand what spirit’s core meant.

Luo Yirui finished speaking, noticing Zhang Xiaodong seemed uninterested in conversing, so he asked, ”You’re the horse trainer from that day, right?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaodong suddenly looked up, recalling there were three kids in the racetrack that day; is this one of them?

This is Bai Yongquan’s little brother, right?

”Do you need something?”

Though the opponent is just a child, realizing he’s associated with Bai Yongquan and those youngsters, a displeasure stemmed from within him, affecting his tone.

”Judging by your look, did the Nie Family actually target you?” Luo Yirui asked.

While he wouldn’t doubt the Nie Family’s methods, he felt the Nie Family wouldn’t need to go this far. If the horse trainer really did make a mistake, sending him back for retraining should suffice, at most having him lose his job as a lesson.

But seeing the horse trainer’s demeanor, it’s apparently not that simple. After all, he witnessed this horse trainer refusing to bow, quite proud.

Zhang Xiaodong’s face darkened. He never expected even a brat to mock him!

Unfortunately, he can’t act impulsively. With a wife and child at home, he must consider the consequences, otherwise, he’d certainly teach this little brat a lesson!

”Move away, tell them, what’s the point of bullying an ordinary person, even if they starve my family, what do they gain? Praise? Glory? Hmph, nothing but parasites!”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaodong lowered his head, eyelids drooping, lazily ignoring this brat.

Luo Yirui scratched his head, feeling his enthusiasm being snubbed, though he knows the horse trainer misunderstood.

”I’m not from the Nie Family nor Bai Family. If you truly have nowhere else to turn, take this to Heavenly Blessing Hotel to find a person named Tian Zhi, he will arrange something for you.”

Saying this, Luo Yirui took out a thumb-sized small porcelain jar from his body. The exquisite little jar was extremely cute, seeming like a decoration. It’s the smallest porcelain jar used to store talismanic water, holding just one sip, generally only used for specific or exceptionally precious talismanic water.

Of course, this is something Luo Yirui used.

Zhang Xiaodong reached out and took it, looking at this little thing somewhat speechlessly, saying, ”Are you messing with me? Going to Heavenly Blessing?”

The people who go to Heavenly Blessing are either rich or noble. He, a commoner, wouldn’t even glance inside while passing by, going there isn’t just ridiculous?

Luo Yirui handed it over and turned to leave.

Watching Luo Yirui’s small yet upright back, Zhang Xiaodong couldn’t help but ask, ”Why are you doing this?”

Is he being played with!

Luo Yirui halted, turned back and said, ”My dad says people with pride can hold their heads up high.”

Zhang Xiaodong stood there dumbfounded.

People with pride can... hold their heads up high!

Ha, what a ridiculous phrase; he has pride, but can he hold his head up high? He’s now struck down, with no path to even survive!

Despite thinking like this, Zhang Xiaodong’s eyes became moist, as if all he’s done, including his family’s actions, which no one understood, finally found recognition.

Even if the person recognizing him is just a child.
