Chapter 649: [649] The Child of a Medical Family Chapter 649: [649] The Child of a Medical Family “Are Senior Tao and the others working overtime?” Xie Wanying asked.
“They often do overtime, having meetings at night. Of course, since the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department is the most famous surgical department in our hospital, it’s known as the best in the whole country. That Buddha figure is a big star in Hepatobiliary Surgery, the number one star nationwide, leading the most renowned Hepatobiliary Surgery team in the country. The research they do is extensive, so they often need to discuss it academically.”
Having never been to Hepatobiliary Surgery, Xie Wanying and Li Qi’an listened in surprise to the information that Zhao Zhaowei revealed tonight. There might have been similar promotions about the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department in the hospital, but hearing the actual situation from Zhao Zhaowei felt different.
Promotional content everyone knows can be exaggerated, but the inside information revealed by insiders is the real deal, truly without a shred of lying.
“Our hospital’s Hepatobiliary Surgery is that impressive?” Li Qi’an blinked.
“Don’t you know!” Zhao Zhaowei glared at both of them.
“We know your grandfather is in that department, but you rarely tell us about it.”
“It’s not easy for me to talk about it, because I myself failed to get into surgery, which was quite embarrassing at home. My family had hoped that I would continue my grandfather’s work. Getting into the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department in our hospital and staying on as a surgical resident is super difficult; Hepatobiliary Surgery is the least lacking-in-talent department of all. Since everyone knows our hospital’s Hepatobiliary Surgery is the best, the most outstanding medical students from across the nation come here to study, and those who can stay are certainly among the elite of the national Hepatobiliary Surgery circle. The family was counting on my having my grandfather to rely on, implying that if I could stay in Hepatobiliary Surgery, my future would be undeniable,” Zhao Zhaowei explained the reason.
After listening to him, Xie Wanying and Li Qi’an could understand; medical families also want to provide their children with a step-up, to help them climb higher as quickly as possible. Xie Wanying thought of her maternal aunt Zhou Ruomei, who had made every effort to train her cousin to become a doctor, sharing the same mentality as the Zhao Family.
“I’m going with you for what?” Xie Wanying asked, wondering why her classmate was asking her to accompany him to Hepatobiliary Surgery at this time.
“Didn’t I ask for your help before? I wanted you to speak to him on my behalf. He actually contacted my grandfather, demanding that he must come to the department tonight to talk to him.” Zhao Zhaowei’s tears were about to fall. “It was my grandmother who received the call first, and knowing the seriousness of the situation, she informed my grandfather. My grandfather was invited to a local hospital for consulting today. Even after retiring, he is often asked for help. Now, he can only rush back tonight to come to the hospital to see him.”
“Why is he in such a hurry? Why does it have to be tonight?” Li Qi’an asked.
“He said he might be going on a business trip tomorrow,” Zhao Zhaowei said. “He mentioned my issue couldn’t be delayed. I told my grandmother about it, saying my health issue wasn’t a big problem, and if it had been serious, I would’ve collapsed long ago. Only then did my grandmother decide not to inform others first, preferring to let my grandfather understand the situation after coming to the hospital.”
Senior Tao is going on a trip! Xie Wanying remembered the important task Teacher Ren had entrusted to her. Now, she had no choice but to go to Hepatobiliary Surgery to speak to Senior Tao tonight.
“I’ll go with you now,” Xie Wanying stood up, thinking of handling both matters promptly.
“Thank you, Yingying,” Zhao Zhaowei grabbed her hand and shook it vigorously, almost falling to his knees.
“Calm down. Senior Tao asking for your grandfather is just out of concern for you. You don’t need to be nervous,” Xie Wanying soothed her classmate.
