Chapter 454
The tasks assigned to him by his superiors were all completed without discount. He secretly pondered, was a big shot coming? What kind of big shot would warrant such a grand reception? Following Dr. Fang into the large conference room, he went straight to Elder Liu. A seat was left open next to Hee Hansheng. “Dr. Zhou, sit here!” Hee Hansheng called him over. Being able to sit next to Elder Liu’s strongest attending physician, with even the attending doctor Song Ze placed behind Zhou Can, indicated Zhou Can’s status within the group. As for Dr. Fang, he could only sit next to Song Ze. He was now a quasi-attending physician. His status was higher than that of a Resident Doctor. The strictness of the hospital’s hierarchy could be seen clearly at a single morning meeting. The order of the seats occupied by the physicians was carefully considered. It was unheard of for a Resident Doctor to take the seat of a deputy director. “Hello Elder Liu!” Zhou Can proactively greeted Deputy Director Liu. “Take a seat!” Elder Liu held him in high regard. Without Elder Liu’s approval, Zhou Can wouldn’t have been able to take the third seat. Before sitting down, Zhou Can smiled and nodded at Song Ze, as a greeting. “Dr. Hee, I heard a VIP is coming, who could it be?” Zhou Can had a pretty good relationship with Dr. Hee. “I’m not too sure myself, it could be that a prominent doctor is joining our General Surgery team.” Hee Hansheng’s information was relatively well-informed. “Is this a direct parachute appointment?” Zhou Can asked quietly. This doctor surely wasn’t ordinary; otherwise, the department wouldn’t be making such a big fuss over their arrival. Zhou Can secretly speculated that it was possible that General Surgery had successfully poached an important talent from another department or hospital. “It should be! I’m not sure which group he will join, or maybe he will form a new medical team,” Hee Hansheng analyzed the possible outcomes. Right as they were discussing, the head of the General Surgery department, Xia Huai’an, entered the conference room with a young doctor. Tsk, tsk, the department head personally accompanying him, that really is some recognition. The young doctor looked handsome and tall, exuding a strong confidence naturally. This caused some of the young female doctors and nurses in General Surgery to be dazzled. When looking at the young doctor, their eyes sparkled with little stars. Men like beautiful women, and women like handsome men. “Isn’t that Du Leng?” Zhou Can thought it was some mysterious figure, but it turned out to be Du Leng, a returnee doctor with a Ph.D. It was said that, since joining the surgery department, Du Leng had already published several SCI medical papers. This was at the top tier of international journals, even higher than domestic core journals. In academics, Du Leng truly had reason to be proud. Du Leng’s gaze swept across the room, with an air of looking down on everything. When he noticed Zhou Can sitting in Elder Liu’s row, he paused for about two seconds. He locked eyes with Zhou Can, and as their gazes met, Du Leng showed strong animosity. This was because Zhou Can and he had both joined Tuya Hospital at the same time, and during the initial department allocation, Zhou Can seemed quite outshined. Du Leng became the hot commodity desired by all departments, while Zhou Can, despite achieving the top overall score, was neglected. At that time, it was as if Du Leng had been dealt a good hand, and Zhou Can a poor one. However, after more than a year of development, Zhou Can had created an unprecedented training miracle in Tuya Hospital. No matter the department, he quickly achieved results. His abilities were so striking that they couldn’t be ignored. Gradually, within the hospital, a new situation emerged with two training prodigies, Zhou Can and Du Leng, racing neck and neck. In fact, Zhou Can’s status in the eyes of department heads had already far surpassed Du Leng’s. No matter how high the education or impressive the academics, those were ultimately only suited for a scholar, not a doctor. Only those who can actually heal patients have the real skill. If now the department heads were to choose again, they would unanimously prioritize grabbing the special talent, Zhou Can. Du Leng was well aware of this. And precisely because of this, his animosity towards Zhou Can grew even stronger. Zhou Can, faced with Du Leng’s sharp and hostile gaze, simply smiled faintly, appearing nonchalant. “Let it be strong; the gentle breeze caresses the hills.”
