35.You're nothing.

"Hello."

Seeing Ye Xiu's humble attitude, the arrogant-looking Zheng Wenbo also reached out his hand and shook Ye Xiu's hand. However, there was still a hint of condescension in his demeanor, as if he was graciously granting Ye Xiu face by shaking hands with him.

"Oh, by the way, Zheng Doctor, Ye Doctor is also an elite returned from studying abroad. You two should have a lot in common to talk about," Dr. Li said with a smile, looking at both of them.

"Oh? I wonder where Ye Doctor studied abroad? Which school did you graduate from?" Upon hearing Dr. Li's question, Zheng Wenbo's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and suspicion, then subconsciously turned to look at Ye Xiu.

He was now carrying the reputation of being a high-achiever graduated from the University of Kansas, which made him quite prestigious in the department. However, he was well aware of the truth behind his graduation from Kansas. If Ye Xiu also graduated from the same school as him, it wouldn't be good. He might risk exposing his own secrets. Even if Ye Xiu was from the same school, there was no evidence to expose him, but it might still be awkward.

Upon hearing Dr. Li's words, everyone in the office turned their attention to Ye Xiu, their ears perked up. They had heard rumors about Ye Xiu, about how he was just a mediocre student who studied abroad, and now Dr. Zheng's question gave them an opportunity to find out the truth.

"I studied in the UK, but I won't mention the name of the school," Ye Xiu smiled. "And Doctor Zheng, where did you study abroad?"

"Ah, I studied in M country," Zheng Wenbo replied proudly, his face filled with a sense of pride.

"Zheng Doctor is a high-achiever graduated from the University of Kansas!" another doctor interjected proudly.

"What high-achiever? I don't deserve that title. I just managed to graduate," Zheng Wenbo waved his hand modestly, though his face still showed a proud expression.

Ye Xiu was momentarily surprised when he heard that Zheng Wenbo had graduated from the University of Kansas. He remembered that Nurse Su had mentioned Kansas yesterday. Could it be because of Zheng Wenbo that she knew about the University of Kansas?

However, Ye Xiu didn't dwell on it too much. He didn't feel any contempt toward Zheng Wenbo just because he graduated from the University of Kansas. After all, he himself had heard rumors about Ye Xiu being Zhao Deputy Director's recruit. Although he was surprised, he didn't want to show any disdain toward Ye Xiu.

"Well said, Doctor Zheng," Ye Xiu said with a slight smile, patting Zheng Wenbo on the back. "You are indeed right."

Although Ye Xiu's words seemed to praise and agree with Zheng Wenbo, Zheng Wenbo didn't feel any satisfaction. He didn't say those words to seek Ye Xiu's approval.

As for the other doctors in the office, they were all amused by Ye Xiu's reaction.

"Dr. Ye, I'll get back to work," Zheng Wenbo said abruptly, feeling a bit disgusted with Ye Xiu after realizing he didn't even understand his insincere words.

Seeing Zheng Wenbo suddenly change his attitude, Ye Xiu was slightly surprised, but he didn't take the initiative to continue the conversation. He had already sensed Zheng Wenbo's disdain, but he wasn't going to stoop down to his level. Even though he was eager to learn, he wouldn't flatter someone like Zheng Wenbo. He was willing to learn humbly, but he would never bow down.

As for the University of Kansas mentioned by Zheng Wenbo, Ye Xiu didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't care whether Zheng Wenbo graduated from there or not. He just needed time to digest what he had learned from Wang Yanchao. Even if Zheng Wenbo didn't end the conversation, he would find a way to do so.
