Chapter 2504: Rigorous Matters

"Are there only six slots for the mentorship group? Why limit it to six? Wouldn’t having more people be better? Does your school have a strict rule about having six?" Cao Zhao seemed to intentionally stir things up, regardless of the situation, as he spoke.

Coincidentally, someone had made the same proposal over the phone earlier. Ren Chongda thought it over and found it worth considering, saying, "I need to consult with the school leaders on this."

The ones most anxious were those already in the car, insisting that once on board, the doors should be welded shut to prevent others from getting in. Cao Yong and Tao Zhijie immediately voiced their position, stopping Teacher Ren and saying, "Six is six, it’s never been more than six. Why have so many people? With more people, things get complicated and hard to discuss. Can you ensure the school can mediate relationships among so many people?"

All the big shots came. Big shots love academic arguments, and they could argue endlessly over just one case. Reminded by the two, Teacher Ren had to readjust his perspective: If his current batch of students became hot commodities, would it be good or bad? Would the mentors themselves end up in a ’battle of the immortals’?

Never did he expect a day would come when he and his students would be fiercely contested. Ren Chongda felt deeply moved.

Seeing his brother welding the car door shut, Cao Zhao walked over to speak directly with the student: "Yingying."

"What do you want to say to her? Aren’t you leaving right after taking your stuff?"

Before he could finish, so many people at the scene were eager to pull him away. Cao Zhao felt a spark of anger flare up. Where was their sense of morality? Today, he was also the student’s mentor and had every right to contend for her. Last night, he was too considerate, thinking of morality. In fact, in situations like this, one shouldn’t stress morality; it’s right to vie face-to-face.

"What is it, Teacher Cao?" Student Xie earnestly sought guidance from her mentoring teacher.

This "child," aside from being extremely smart, occasionally could be quite single-minded, making her appear more endearingly pitiful. No wonder so many people wanted to compete for her.

The surrounding gazes were as fierce as wolves and tigers, while Cao Zhao’s mind churned, discarding his divine facade as the devil within him stirred, smiling at the student, "Nothing important, I just mean you should rest well in the hospital. Recover your health before returning to study; there’s no rush."

Certainly, there’s no rush; whatever you people think, for now this "child" is working and learning under me.

All the sharp-witted people present could easily decipher his ulterior motives, squinting at him: we’ll see.

Having real business to discuss with his brother, Cao Zhao beckoned him to talk on the balcony.

The two went out, completely soundproofing the room by shutting the glass window.

Xie Wanying lay on the bed, waiting for Senior Tao to examine her wound, her eyes occasionally darting toward the balcony.

She could roughly guess what they were going to discuss. Considering this, Cao Yong and Cao Zhao tacitly walked to the end where she couldn’t see to talk.

"I called Uncle on the way back, and Uncle said he contacted you. You were on the scene examining that child, so you likely know the situation best," Cao Zhao said.

Last night, Student Xie mentioned it, and when Zhai Yunsheng returned to his hospital this morning, he took the opportunity to check on that child, Xiao Yu’s situation. After looking, he certainly had thoughts and called to academically discuss with his nephew who was at the scene treating the injured.

"Why are you asking me this? Do you want to know if she might be brain dead? Determining brain death is not a one-day or two-day affair."

Medical diagnosis is a very meticulous matter, and the strictest medical diagnosis concerns determining a person’s death. In this regard, the public need not worry about doctors being careless, because any doctor with a brain fears being misdiagnosed as dead.
