Chapter 2549: The Teacher Is Feeling a Bit Stressed

"It’s because they studied well on their own."

This Teacher Cao wouldn’t accept praise from others, Director Gong said, "Dr. Cao, you’re being modest."

"Not at all," Cao Zhao smiled.

"Our Doctor Ke Mu always says you’re too modest, Dr. Cao," Director Gong emphasized that the other party should acknowledge their excellence.

"No, no. Dr. Mu is the hallmark of our hospital," Cao Zhao refused to let it go.

"No. Dr. Cao, you are the hallmark of our young doctors. Both Director Lu and Vice President Lin are fond of you."

"Director Gong, you also like Dr. Mu. Our hospital specially celebrates his surgeries; I don’t get such treatment."

"This—"

This god-like man really seemed like he had no desires or expectations for anything in the world.

Director Gong almost pouted.

The small black vortex in Cao Zhao’s eyes swirled: Only a fool would accept such praise. No one visits Sanbaodian without a reason; if they’re complimenting you, there’s definitely some intention behind it. Why would they praise you for no reason? Don’t forget, these people are their competitors.

"Director Gong." Cheng Yuchen, on behalf of Cao Zhao, who found it inappropriate to ask directly, raised concern about the accident tonight, "I heard Dr. Han encountered some issues at that hospital?"

"Yes. They called for communication. Now they are checking if everything is clear in communication." At this, Director Gong, not letting the topic drift, praised again, "Dr. Cao, your student is quite capable, memorizing transplantation knowledge firmly. But, why haven’t you done much transplant surgery?"

Because that student didn’t learn those from him. Having a top student brings immense pressure to the teacher. Cao Zhao had to show a slightly serious expression.

"I heard Dr. Cao has a heart transplant surgery tonight as well," Director Gong said.

"Yes." There was no point denying such an obvious fact.

"It’s a great opportunity to have an exchange of skills with our Doctor Mu," Director Gong suggested.

What exchange? An exchange should be in the same operating room with the same case, making it easier to communicate. This clearly feels like turning into a competitive arena. Perhaps neither group of doctors had such an idea, focusing instead on treating their patients.

The others, being outsiders, had a different mindset. So you could see so many staying in the operating room tonight, all prepared to see the results of the technical competition between the two teams.

Being an insider, Mu Yongxian straightforwardly suggested to the leader, "I’ve suggested to Dr. Cao, if he feels overwhelmed with students, he could let them come to our side to learn."

"That’s a good suggestion. — Dr. Cao, your team’s donor heart may not arrive so quickly. Ours is expected to arrive first. This way, let them come to our side first and see how the surgery is done," Director Gong also naturally suggested.

These first-pediatric-cardiac-surgery crew never seemed to fear or avoid showcasing their skills, which was really at odds with the second-pediatric-cardiac-surgery crew, especially with Cao Zhao’s fairy-like demeanor, which was completely different.

Thinking of this, Doctor Cheng Yuchen gave a sigh.

Cao Zhao smiled, as usual, refusing to be easily provoked by the other party, and instead radiated a breathtakingly beautiful aura, saying, "Before the donor heart arrives, you can’t say who’ll be faster."

Stimulated by this remark, Director Gong intentionally asked the other party’s student loudly, "What do you think?"

Do you want to come over to our side and learn first? The big leaders from the opposite department formally extended an invitation to Student Xie and their peers.
