Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 596 - 595: Like Father, Like Son
"Boss? Aren't you the oldest in your dorm?" Lu Ming asked with a slight start, looking puzzled.
In dormitory 203, He Guizhong, with a full face of stubble, looked the most weather-beaten, clearly the oldest, and indeed he was.
"Hehe, I am the oldest, but the boss is not me, it's Ge Dongxu," He Guizhong scratched his head and replied.
"Oh, why is that?" Lu Ming asked, his interest evidently piqued.
When he had first met his son's classmates in Golden Mountain County a while ago, Lu Ming had felt that Ge Dongxu seemed much more mature and composed than the others.
"Ge Dongxu is a study maniac, basketball ace, and a martial arts expert. We all really respect him, so we made him the boss," Lu Lei replied.
Saying that someone is a study maniac and a basketball ace didn't impress Lu Ming much; after all, Jiangnan University itself is a gathering place for academic prodigies, and it's common for some students to study intensely. As for being a basketball ace, almost every male student at the university played basketball, and since Ge Dongxu was also tall, it was no surprise to Lu Ming to hear his son call him a basketball ace.
But to say he was a martial arts expert, that surprised Lu Ming greatly, and he couldn't help asking, "Ge Dongxu knows martial arts too?"
"Of course! The boss is really awesome. He is the president of our school's Taekwondo Association. The black belt four dan members are no match for him in a single move. Now he is the honorary president of our school's Martial Arts Association," He Guizhong said excitedly when Lu Ming asked about Ge Dongxu's martial arts skills.
"Tss!" Even though Lu Ming was about to be a deputy director, he couldn't help but suck in a breath sharply and patted Ge Dongxu heavily on the shoulder, saying, "Good lad, impressive!"
"Uncle Lu is too kind. The dorm room is small. Since it's rare for you to visit, why don't you let Lu Lei show you around the campus? We won't disturb you and your son any longer," Ge Dongxu modestly suggested.
"This Ge Dongxu, no wonder they call you the boss, you indeed know how to handle situations. What do you mean by disturbance? Lu Lei and I don't have any secrets to discuss. If you guys aren't busy, why don't you join us for a walk around the campus, and later, I'll treat you all to a meal," Lu Ming pointed at Ge Dongxu, saying with a smile.
Ge Dongxu originally wanted to say that since Lu Ming had come from far, they should treat him to a meal, but after Lu Ming spoke, he found it difficult to voice his thoughts, especially since Lu Ming was an elder and he was still a student.
Thus, the four of them left the dormitory with Lu Ming, walked along the corridor, and when they reached the staircase on the second floor, they happened to run into Sun Wenjun accompanying his father, Sun Yuncheng, from the third floor to the second. The two parties came face to face.

Seeing Lu Ming there as well, Sun Yuncheng visibly paused, instinctively raised his head, and wore a hint of pride on his face, while Sun Wenjun, remembering the last incident at the Golden Embroider Restaurant where Lu Ming hadn't given him face, glanced at them sideways, also bearing a hint of pride.
Lu Ming hadn't expected such a coincidence, running into Sun Yuncheng and his son at the staircase. His expression slightly complicated, he hesitated, but still called out, "Secretary-General Sun, hello."
No matter what, Sun Yuncheng was the chief steward of Jinzhou City government, a close associate of Mayor Ye, and he was also at the proper cadre level. Even if he became the deputy county head, he still was under the city's jurisdiction. Some matters couldn't circumvent Sun Yuncheng, so unless necessary, Lu Ming preferred not to confront Sun Yuncheng head-on.
Of course, it just so happened they met, and after a brief greeting, if Lu Ming had to actively seek Sun Yuncheng's approval with insincerity and flattery after his many experiences, he definitely wouldn't do it.
"Ah, it's Comrade Lu Ming! You're here at the Provincial Party Committee's Party School for further training and taking the opportunity to visit your son, right?" In the past, if Lu Ming faced Sun Yuncheng, Sun Yuncheng would mostly ignore him, but this time, remembering Lu Ming's connection to Fang Ting, Sun Yuncheng finally nodded, his face showing a trace of feigned smile.
"Yes," Lu Ming nodded.
"Yes, this shows the importance the city and county leaders place on you. You should study hard," Sun Yuncheng said earnestly.
Seeing Sun Yuncheng asserting his authority in front of his son and his son's classmates, a flash of irritation crossed Lu Ming's eyes, while Sun Wenjun, seeing his father pressing down on Lu Ming, couldn't help but show a smug look as he turned towards Ge Dongxu.
"The Secretary-General is right, I will definitely not let down the expectations of the county and city leaders," Lu Ming said, his heart full of irritation but still suppressing it, and nodded.
"Yes." Sun Yuncheng, seeing this, nodded quite "satisfied" and then turned to Lu Lei, saying, "This must be Lu Lei, he has grown into a young man in the blink of an eye. He used to be classmates with Wenjun. Now they are classmates again—that's good. But I heard from Wenjun that he is still unfriendly to him like before. You should talk to him when you have time, to avoid them reverting to their old ways."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ming finally couldn't hold back and a flash of anger appeared on his face. He could clearly hear that Sun Yuncheng was using his son's matter to get at him, to remind him not to overlook this Secretary-General just because he knew Fang Ting.
"I say Secretary-General Sun, will you ever let it go? Spend more time disciplining your own son— with his behavior, how many can get along with him properly?" At this moment, Ge Dongxu also became angry. After all, Lu Ming was an elder, and even if Sun Yuncheng really needed to say those things, he could have done it privately; what was the point of doing it now? Was he trying to see if Lu Ming would completely submit?
"You, what's your name, how can you speak like that?" Sun Yuncheng, not expecting Lu Ming to remain silent while a student spoke out first, pointing at him and openly chastising him, became furious.
"How do I speak? I'd like to ask you the same! Aren't you just a city government Secretary-General? If you want to show off, go do it elsewhere, don't drag Uncle Lu into it. Look at Uncle Lu, how down-to-earth he is, do you act like that? No wonder your son loves to show off so much, it clearly runs in the family," Ge Dongxu, not afraid of Sun Yuncheng, saw his anger and disdainfully snorted, continuing his criticism.
Are you joking? No matter what, today Lu Ming was his classmate's father who had come specially to visit and treat them to a meal; how could he let him be humiliated?
"Ge Dongxu, when adults are talking, a student should not butt in," Lu Ming saw Ge Dongxu mocking Sun Yuncheng while also taking the chance to praise him. Although it was pleasant to hear, it made him anxious, and he quickly tugged at Ge Dongxu, saying sternly.
"Ge Dongxu, right? Very well, I will speak with your teacher about this, to find out if a student should disrespect his elders like this. Just wait for your punishment," Sun Yuncheng said, so angry he was almost exploding.
Having been a leader for so many years, he had never been pointed at and ridiculed by a student before.
