Chapter 277: 【277】Her awesomeness was spoken of by her senior fellow apprentice. Chapter 277: 【277】Her awesomeness was spoken of by her senior fellow apprentice. The response was essentially a counter-question. Gao Zhaocheng was taken aback, “You don’t know either?”
“Who are you guys talking about?” Zhu Huicang, with his head cocked and adjusting his glasses, was baffled by their clouded conversation.
“Ren Chongda should know.” Gao Zhaocheng was certain of this and picked up his phone to call Ren Chongda.
The phone rang, and everyone turned their heads to see Ren Chongda walking over, ready to answer his phone.
Seeing the person approaching, Gao Zhaocheng hung up and asked, “Do you know how your student ended up following Tan Kelin?”
“I don’t know,” Ren Chongda flatly denied.
Zhu Huicang finally caught on and expressed his surprise, “Are you saying your female student went to follow Tan Kelin from General Surgery Department Two?”
“Why didn’t you arrange for her to follow Senior Gao?”
“Hey! As I said, it wasn’t me who arranged it!” Ren Chongda felt wrongfully accused and patted his chest, “Do you think it’s possible that I would do such a thing!”
“Well, that’s debatable; you often say you educate your students with the philosophy that they should go through hell so they comprehend its depths,” said Zhu Huicang, bringing up the other’s teaching philosophy from the past.
Ren Chongda slapped him on the back and stared at him: You know what kind of person I am, I have a sharp tongue but a soft heart as a mentor.
The group could tell that it really wasn’t Ren Chongda who had arranged it.
“What’s going on then?” Gao Zhaocheng questioned.
Cao Yong also had questions and asked, “She’s been in your department for several days now, and you’re suddenly coming to me today, what happened?”
Gao Zhaocheng said, “Today, Tan Kelin let her assist on a laparoscopic surgery as Mirror Assistant.”
“What!” Zhu Huicang was startled by his words, “She’s only been in your department for a few days and she’s already assisting in laparoscopic surgery?” If he remembered correctly, Xie Wanying was just an intern.
“Yes, as a mirror assistant. It seemed like her first time, and there was a resident doctor following her instructions,” he explained.
“Huh?” Zhu Huicang was half understanding. Usually senior medics guide juniors; when did it become interns guiding doctors?
“She was guiding the Mirror Assistant, thoroughly familiar with the patient’s condition. For her first time, being so calm and collected is incredible—it’s undeniable, she has synergy with Tan Kelin’s team,” praised Gao Zhaocheng.
After listening, the other three were stunned, doubtful if they had misheard.
“Isn’t Tan Kelin known for his awful temper in your department?” Zhu Huicang tried to recall this individual.
“He graduated from Beidu.” Gao Zhaocheng reminded him of the important point.
“He’s a Beidu graduate? He’s teaching her—” Zhu Huicang turned around, his eyes wide with astonishment as he looked at Cao Yong.
Ren Chongda sat down with a sigh, “When I first knew Tan Kelin was to mentor her, I feared he might not teach her at all.”
Cao Yong’s face sunk into contemplation, thinking to himself: His previous premonition was right on the mark. As long as someone discovered her talent, he couldn’t believe Tan Kelin wouldn’t want to mentor her.
“Has Tan Kelin confirmed he’s mentoring her now?” Zhu Huicang asked.
Gao Zhaocheng nodded, “The Education Department said that Tan Kelin informed the hospital he’d mentor her for three months, and the hospital leadership has approved it.”
“Good, good!” Ren Chongda, learning that his student had passed the no-return threshold, could not have been happier.
The others heard his ‘good’ and glared at him: “What are you saying is good?”
“You think it’s good that a Beidu graduate is mentoring your student?” Gao Zhaocheng challenged him.
Ignoring whether it was appropriate or not, Ren Chongda only knew he could proudly brag about his mentoring, “Originally I worried she couldn’t last two weeks. Now, just after a few days, she’s excelled, and I think my student is incredible.”
