Chapter 2533: Where Is the Problem

As the child’s surgery was completed, the two students received an order from Teacher Cao to return and no longer stay in orthopedics. It’s said that after they left, the two teachers had a falling out over an "academic" issue.

Really, this was heard as a rumor when coming to work in the morning.

The students couldn’t help but wonder: what major academic issue did the teachers argue about?

Before going to the teacher’s office, Student Pan, who came to meet up, was encountered.

Starting today, Pan Shihua doesn’t have to return to the same group with Senior Luo. It’s said that their group’s study in the emergency room is about to end, and they’ll follow their mentor to pediatric cardiac surgery.

Happy, truly happy. Student Pan’s beautiful face was full of joy since receiving the notice.

At the doorway, they ran into Dai Nanhui.

Dai Nanhui suddenly said to them, "You’re pretty proud, huh. Why do you usually call yourself humble?"

The others were momentarily stunned: What did this person mean?

Wasn’t it? He heard from his mother that students in this class had received many invitations from research mentors but had not decided which mentor to choose. If ordinary teachers are enthusiastic, it’s one thing, but this time, the mentors reportedly included a highly esteemed old professor. Typically, it’s students who seek out teachers, but now, with teachers inviting students and being "neglected" by students? This was unheard of.

Dai Ronghong thought the students in this class were a bit excessive. She advised her son never to learn from others’ arrogance.

What’s this about?

Whether master students or doctoral students, before choosing a mentor, it’s a long process of interaction and ultimately finalizing student-mentor collaboration intentions. Otherwise, why would students generally start contacting their preferred mentors months in advance?

Even if a mentor extends an olive branch to a student, after communication, if the mentor finds the student unsuitable, what does it mean if the mentor no longer wants you?

It can only be said that how this rumor got wildly distorted by Senior Dai’s ears is quite surprising.

"Come in." Hearing the commotion at the door, Doctor Cheng Yuchen opened the office door to let them in.

A few people filed in like fish, entering the office just in time to hear someone discussing research.

Cao Zhao flipped through the notebook on the table, routinely asking about the student’s research progress: "How’s your experiment going?"

Receiving a word of concern from the cousin mentor, Duan Sanbao felt a bit nervous and, thinking while speaking, said, "The current stage data isn’t very promising. I’m investigating whether there’s an issue with my direction or a particular experimental step."

The Guodu academic genius admitting there’s an issue to troubleshoot shows the difficulty of research is quite high. The students on site perked up their ears, hoping to gain some experiences and lessons from the genius.

"Isn’t every step of your experiment documented?" Doctor Cheng Yuchen asked, surprised to see such a talented junior encountering lab difficulties, attempting to help identify the problem.

"There is, but it takes some time to think it through."

It can be seen that Duan Sanbao is very steady with this experimental step. Such an answer doesn’t mean he lacks confidence but rather that he needs to pinpoint the problem before taking action. Being too hasty and panicked could lead in the wrong direction, not only being useless but also wasting valuable time, potentially causing delays and greater issues later.

Secondly.

"Probably quite costly—"

Standing beside Student Xie, Student Wei and Student Pan immediately perked up their long ears.
