Chapter 615: [(615)] What does Dr. Cao think? Chapter 615: [(615)] What does Dr. Cao think? Everyone looked toward President Wu, who had designated Tan Kelin to mentor the student: Hmm, President Wu is indeed that impressive deity.
After having his fill, President Wu asked everyone, “How about some fruit after the meal?”
Today, everyone was in a good mood, and the secretary was ordered to peel some apples and pears.
“President Wu, which department are you planning to send her and her classmates to for their next internship?” someone asked about President Wu’s arrangement for Xie Wanying’s class.
Clearly, after today’s surgery, many people had greater expectations for the students of the eight-year program that Xie Wanying was in.
The leadership of Guoxie were quite fond of the medical students from their own academy, eager to foster talented individuals as soon as possible.
“I’ve arranged for her next department to be Hepatobiliary Surgery. The career paths of her classmates are still under review by the Medical Teaching Department,” President Wu said.
Seeing that Xie Wanying had almost completed a month of internship at General Surgery Department Two, time flew fast, and her next department would be announced once the three months were up.
“Sending her to Hepatobiliary Surgery, is it to have her learn from Dr. Tao?”
“Apart from Dr. Tao, who else could mentor her?” President Wu spoke without a second thought, as if he was reciting a catchy phrase.
The others agreed wholeheartedly, chiming in, “Dr. Tao has mentored many brilliant doctors. Dr. Cao is one of them.”
Zhu Huicang glanced at the expression of his old classmate: They had come to watch the surgery, but what were they supposed to do when suddenly faced with this situation?
As expected, the leaders turned to ask for Cao Yong’s own opinion: “Dr. Cao, do you have any thoughts? You can speak freely, good or bad.”
After all, Cao Yong was a star doctor in the hospital.
“I have no objections; the decision was made after a meeting and thorough deliberation by the leaders,” Cao Yong said earnestly. After all, why question a decision that had already been thought through so carefully?
“So, Dr. Cao, you approve of Dr. Tao mentoring her?” the leaders pressed further to confirm the opinion of the hospital’s star surgeon.
“Yes,” Cao Yong answered gravely and affirmatively.
The hospital leaders pondered his expression, as if it reminded them of something from years past, and they seemed a bit puzzled.
Like he was in on the joke, President Wu teased Cao Yong with a wink and a nudge, “You rascal, when asked to share your thoughts, why are you giving us the runaround? Just speak plainly.”
The Old Naughty Boy was in a good mood today, ready to stir things up. Cao Yong kept a straight face, not in the mood for games, and said, “What I said was from the heart. His teaching abilities are widely recognized as strong; there’s no need for me to add another word. If you really want to nitpick, I know he doesn’t particularly like mentoring female students. But he has already given her several preemptive warnings. From this point of view, he qualifies as an excellent teacher.”
“You said he gave her preemptive warnings?” President Wu caught on to the key point in his statement and asked.
“Did you tell Dr. Tao that he would be mentoring her?” Cao Yong turned the tables, capitalizing on the other’s slip-up, he said.
“No, he came and asked me. I definitely told him to mentor her,” President Wu replied.
Cao Yong smiled, nodded in acknowledgment, already having anticipated this.
Sensing the smile in Cao Yong’s eyes, President Wu felt slightly uneasy, as if his plan had been seen through, and he coughed twice to clear his throat, gravely saying, “To be honest, Comrade Cao Yong, do you hope he mentors her?”
“I do,” Cao Yong answered succinctly.
President Wu tapped his fingers on the table, “So you know how he’s planning to mentor her?”
