Chapter 574: [(574)] Tip-off Chapter 574: [(574)] Tip-off “Right, she has some strengths, but her intubation shortcomings are quite evident. The anesthesiology department wouldn’t let her mentor take her on because they weren’t strict enough with her, so they ended up choosing me to guide her. I didn’t expect that incident to happen later on, and that mistake was mine, I took it too lightly. It was from that time that I started to realize that you are probably not quite like her. Is it overconfidence, or is it not? Now, after seeing you operate, I think it must be the latter. What makes you different from her is not arrogance, but sufficient humility.”
Xie Wanying: “Doctor Zhang, what do you mean by your words? How is it that her arrogance suddenly turned into excessive humility?”
“Generally, someone with your talent would have been singing their own praises by now,” Zhang Tinghai said, explaining that from his experience, many medical students are like that. For this reason, he didn’t like medical students, as those with a bit of capability tend to get cocky and then feel targeted by their teachers, “Thus, it’s very difficult to properly educate you all. You always think that after achieving some results, you’re right. Besides believing that you’re right, you’re also humble. I’ve never seen such a contradiction like you before.”
She wasn’t someone who always thought she was right, but rather someone who insisted on what she believed was right after rational analysis.
“Right, it wasn’t until this incident happened that I got to know what kind of person you are,” Zhang Tinghai admitted he had completely misjudged her.
“Doctor Zhang, there might be some misunderstandings about these things. I’ll speak to Boss later, I’m sure she will understand you. She is a good person, I can assure you of that,” Xie Wanying earnestly said.
“It doesn’t matter to me whether she understands me or not,” Zhang Tinghai said disdainfully, “Like you, I only persist in doing what I think is right. Whether others understand is their business.”
“But I think Boss would definitely want to know that her senior actually thinks highly of her.”
Zhang Tinghai seemed on the verge of rolling his eyes at her but gave up, “You can tell her if you want. However, if she knows and doesn’t work hard to make up for her weaknesses, being able to stay at Guoxie now is just the first step. The road ahead is long, and it will be a big challenge to get promoted. She can’t be a resident forever, right?”
Xie Wanying nodded, “I’ll talk to Boss.”
“She–” Zhang Tinghai then glanced at Xie Wanying’s arms, “should start by getting physically fit, at least to your level.”
Getting in shape is even harder than studying. Xie Wanying knew that sometimes she was the only one persisting in running.
After sending Doctor Zhang off and returning to Senior Cao’s office, she got the ultrasound form ready for Senior Cao’s signature. Xie Wanying suddenly remembered that she hadn’t reported to Teacher Ren. Normally, Teacher Ren would have stormed over by now.
“Your Teacher Ren went out of town to give a lecture yesterday and won’t be back until tomorrow morning,” Cao Yong informed her, noticing the look on her face.
The counselor wasn’t just their class adviser but also a renowned figure in the field of anatomy, and it was common for him to give academic talks.
So that’s it, dodged a bullet. Xie Wanying thought.
Seeing the clear relief written all over her face, Cao Yong and Huang Zhilei couldn’t help but want to laugh, remembering her promise to write a hundred self-criticisms.
The relief didn’t last long; a phone call came in. Seeing the contact displayed as the counselor on her phone, Xie Wanying’s scalp tingled, “Teacher Ren.”
“You know I’m on a business trip, right? I’ll be arriving on an early flight tomorrow, and you are to pick me up at the airport,” Ren Chongda commanded her, planning to start educating her the moment he got off the plane.
“Yes, Teacher Ren,” Xie Wanying accepted the teacher’s task.
