Murphy's Law

Four Seasons Hotel New York.

Banquet hall.

"Steven Murphy heard he's coming to our school."

James smiled meaningfully.

"Murphy?"

Leonard frowned and asked, "Murphy from Murphy Pharmaceuticals?"

"Yes."

James nodded, with an expression that said, "I don't need to explain anything after hearing the last name."

Why doesn't he go to Harvard University?

Leonard was speechless.

Although they all graduated from Columbia University Medical School and think their alma mater is the best, Harvard Medical School has such a prestigious reputation that it is considered a mecca for medical students. In private, everyone agrees that Harvard University is the best.

After all, Harvard University has consistently held the top spot in the rankings of medical schools, while Columbia University Medical School is only in the top ten.

Adam originally planned to go to Harvard University, but because of Leonard's connection, he chose to stay in New York and apply to Columbia University Medical School, hoping to leverage Leonard's connections.

Although Murphy Pharmaceuticals is not a top-tier pharmaceutical company, its influence is considerable and extends beyond New York City, reaching across the United States and even the world.

If the "Murphy" in Steven Murphy refers to the Murphy Pharmaceuticals, then he could attend any medical school he wanted and enjoy top-notch treatment.

"Perhaps his mother is worried or reluctant to let him go?"

James thought for a moment and then joked.

"What kind of bullshit reason is that?"

Leonard quipped, "How can a mama's boy be a good doctor?"

Despite saying that, he still glanced at Adam and gave Adam a look of pity.

Adam's lips twitched.

He naturally understood what Leonard meant.

Although Murphy might be a mama's boy, and such a personality is really not suitable for being a doctor, his last name determines that he will be a formidable rival to Adam.

Because he would seize many of the resources and opportunities that originally belonged to Adam.

It was indeed a wise choice to give up Harvard Medical School, which was ranked number one, because of Leonard's advice. Just look at the situation now.

Columbia University Medical School is consistently ranked eighth in the top ten, which isn't considered the best. However, even before enrolling, the immense pressure from classmates with such overwhelming connections already begins.

It's all about luck; maybe we won't even meet them?

It's definitely unreliable!

By the way, this guy's surname is Murphy. Could it be fate?

There's a saying in the West Murphy's Law: things tend to go in the worst possible way, given the chance. For example, if you have two keys in your pocket, one for your room and one for your car, what happens if you try to take out the car key? Yes, you'll likely grab the wrong key – the room key.

In other words, low-probability events usually happen.

The more Adam tries to avoid the kind of huge pitfall Leonard encountered, the more likely he is to fall into it.

"Is this Murphy the only one?"

Leonard quickly realized the key.

If you can't get the first one, the second one is fine too. As long as you're not as unlucky as he was back then, encountering three or four shameless people who just used connections, it won't really have a big impact.

Columbia University Medical School can still tolerate two such outstanding individuals existing at the same time.

"Hehe."

James said with a smirk, "Only Murphy has such strong connections and background..."

"But what about it?"

Leonard said irritably.

"But."

James laughed and said, "I've heard that quite a few of the people with connections are geniuses. Of course, some are real geniuses, and some are geniuses who got in through connections. This year's class is more complicated than ours."

At this point, he looked at Adam and said, "Adam, you need to be prepared."

"I know."

Adam suppressed his inner complaints and nodded with a smile.

As expected!

Murphy's Law has struck again!

The more you try to avoid something, the more likely it is to happen.

However, with Leonard's connections and his talent and hard work, Adam figured he wasn't afraid of any geniuses, as long as they weren't people with connections like Murphy.

Even those geniuses who got in through connections.

Because, strictly speaking, he is also one of them.

Seeing Adam's calm demeanor, James nodded appreciatively.

For an excellent doctor, psychological qualities are very important. Based on his secret observations, Adam's conditions in all aspects are really outstanding. No wonder his old classmate Leonard, who usually hates nepotism, would stand up for Adam and pull strings for him, contrary to his usual behavior.

The three chatted for a while longer, mainly Leonard and James, while Adam listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words.

They have a very harmonious relationship.

However, since it was a major medical event, many prominent figures from the New York medical community were present, and they were there to introduce Adam. Naturally, Leonard wouldn't just talk to one person.

Leonard took Adam away and went to another professor at Columbia University Medical School to continue introducing them and building connections.

Adam remained calm and patient, and readily followed Leonard's instructions.

This is the necessary communication.

It is an opportunity that ordinary students can only dream of or long for but cannot obtain.

Adam is not ashamed. He was not born with a head start. He has worked hard to stand here today.

Isn't Rachel great?

Aren't the Three Green Daughters appealing?

Is it pleasant to hear Leonard and Sandra blaming and complaining to each other?

Without three years of hard work and management, he wouldn't be standing here at all.

Therefore, he felt at ease.

At most, you could say he was just lucky.

Well, luck is relative.

What seems like a blessing in disguise has become a curse. Look at how we ended up with Murphy, and a bunch of genius connections who are good at pulling strings!

Leonard was very attentive, practically dragging Adam around the entire banquet hall, introducing Adam to everyone he could.

The crowd frequently turned their heads to look.

Because most of the people who have become big names or have a place in the New York medical community are around Leonard's age. The New York medical community is not small, but it is not big either. Those who know Leonard naturally know about Leonard's story back then.

This is a genius doctor who suffered because of connections.

Now he's even starting to build connections for others, and this person isn't even his son or son-in-law, which is quite surprising.

Furthermore, Adam's good looks, charisma, and status as a bestselling author are quite eye-catching.

There are also a few people who are fans of Lord of the Mysteries, but they are not die-hard or brainless fans, but ordinary, rational fans.

But with this relationship, things become different.

They started chatting with Adam, and after discussing a few classic scenes, their relationship naturally became much closer.

With the addition of these rational fans, Leonard's introductions became much easier. At first, he had to actively seek out people, but now he found himself surrounded by more and more people without even realizing it.

Until it became the center of the banquet.

On the outskirts of the crowd, a handsome young man's eyes narrowed when he saw Adam chatting and laughing in the center of the crowd.
