In a technical industry, anyone who could be called a specialist moved up the career ladder while looking down on others. A specialist was someone who climbed up the food chain and became the apex predator.
Han Wenlin, a rehabilitation specialist at the Sports Bureau, was in contact with a variety of injured athletes every day. He reviewed the surgical plans delivered by various hospitals, assessed the athlete's injuries, decided the pay for the hospital, controlled the amount of money paid, and decided whether the Sports Bureau should continue paying the hospital... With such power and his own medical reputation, he had a greater psychological advantage over others.
When he saw an academician like Zhu Tongyi, he was naturally well-mannered like a domesticated chicken, and he would not be stupid enough to find any trouble. However, Han Wenlin did not need to be polite towards a young surgeon like Ling Ran.
