Chapter 726: Episode 726 Chapter 726: Episode 726 Cao Yong was willing to learn from the senior who was only one year above him, which was enough to show that he recognized the elder’s skills.
It was said that these two used to get along very well, so well that they bought new houses in the same neighborhood, just a few steps away from each other. The timing of the house purchases was definitely when the two were on good terms, not after they had fallen out.
Xie Wanying hadn’t heard about this, although she could feel that there was a strange atmosphere whenever Senior Tao and Senior Cao met.
If the seniors didn’t talk about it themselves, the clever juniors would certainly pretend not to know.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat!” Zhu Huicang waved his chopsticks as if to sweep away the gloomy aura at the dining table.
Cao Yong didn’t mind his chopsticks but looked toward Zhao Zhaowei, who had ignited the flames.
Looking at him in this state, everyone at the table could imagine whether he was about to get angry. Because it was questionable why Student Zhao brought up that person in the first place.
“The issue between him and me has absolutely nothing to do with his skills or his work,” said Cao Yong, his tone unexpectedly calm to everyone’s surprise, “If he were as irresponsible as you think, his reputation would have been ruined long ago. Why would your grandfather seek him out to treat you? He knew you were difficult to cure and that failing would offend a host of people, risking his reputation as a consequence. Think about why he would do that?”
Was Senior Cao speaking up for Senior Tao? Zhao Zhaowei’s mind stalled, doubting the veracity of the news from his grandfather.
Zhu Huicang adjusted his glasses. It wasn’t about speaking for that “Buddha.” Rather, there were just too many absurd rumors outside, and people could fabricate a handful of conjectures from anything. The Cao Yong he knew would never deliberately slander a colleague because of some personal grievance.
Personal grievances were a personal matter. Assessing the work of colleagues should not be influenced by personal feelings; in the scientifically oriented medical profession, the noble character of a doctor is respected precisely because of a spirit of seeking truth from facts.
Tao Zhijie’s significant work achievements were visible to all. Just as he, Zhu Huicang, disliked the working style of that Robot, Fu Xinheng, he still couldn’t deny Fu Xinheng’s solid accomplishments.
Xie Wanying was right in what she told President Wu: a skilled doctor couldn’t care less about doing anything that would ruin their character.
“Speak,” urged Zhu Huicang, patting Student Zhao on the arm.
Zhao Zhaowei hesitated, “It’s probably because he respects my grandfather–”
“That’s not right,” Zhu Huicang interrupted, “Without your grandfather asking him, he was the first to inform your grandfather about your illness. Knowing you didn’t want to but still insisting on being the bad guy, what do you think he’s after? He’s just fulfilling the duty of a doctor.”
Even Senior Zhu was speaking for that “Buddha.” Zhao Zhaowei felt like he had misunderstood something and started scratching his forehead.
“Are you feeling itchy?” Zhu Huicang noticed his vigorous scratching and asked, “How many days has it been since you had your last injection?”
“He stopped his medication yesterday.” This, Xie Wanying knew clearly and answered for her classmate.
“Do you have any ointment at home? Apply some for him.” Seeing his severe scratching, as if he was about to break the skin, Li Xiaobing was worried and asked Cao Yong where the medicine box was.
Zhu Huicang shook his head at his wife, “There’s only gauze and bandages in his medicine box, no medicine. He says it’s a waste to keep medicine at home because it has expiration dates. If there’s an issue that requires medication, it’s better to go to the hospital for a check-up first and then get a prescription. His point is valid. So, the only option is to send the patient back to the hospital.”
