Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Internal Troubles and External Threats

Exactly, the last time Liu Siqi saw Chen Cang suture tendons, Chen Cang was still at an advanced level, but this time, Chen Gang’s tendon suturing had reached a master level.
Adding a special effect is extraordinary for tendon suturing!
The degree of alignment is extremely high!
Chen Cang could only do his best to reduce the chances of adhesion to the minimum.
The core elements of tendon suturing lie here, and one can never be too careful!
Soon, the suturing was complete!
Job well done!
Brilliantly spectacular!
Liu Siqi couldn’t help but slap his thigh. It was still so elegant!
However, thinking that such talent couldn’t be recruited under his command made him feel a bit regretful.
But there will be other days ahead, plenty of time. After all, the platform of the Provincial People’s Hospital is indeed better than that of the Provincial Second Hospital, so it’s not like there’s no chance.
Scoring!
Well…
Liu Siqi gave Chen Cang full marks because he was very satisfied. Why not a perfect score?
Being miserly?
Leaving room for improvement?
Heh, excellent people need to be praised!
Not just Liu Siqi, but when the others looked at each other’s score columns, they couldn’t help but laugh.
Because everyone gave full marks!
If someone is good enough, why be stingy with high scores?
As for the performances of the other two, the scores given by everyone were not low. After all, their performances were quite good. Number one was very skilled, steady with progress, a young force of the new generation, deserving of a 90 to encourage them.
The person in operating room two was by-the-book, not excellent but not bad either. After all… Li Shijian had only spent two years in thoracic surgery doing mostly ward rounds, writing medical records, managing orders, and serving as an assistant on the operating table, where it was hardly his turn to operate. Their Director Shi was utterly incompetent, with no special skills other than barking at experts. So, it was quite okay for Li Shijian to have this level of surgical skill. Given time, he could still become a strong player.
As for number three…
The scores were already irrelevant. Now, all the directors were filled with curiosity about this young man. Being so outstanding, they wondered what school he hailed from, who had mentored him, and where this martial arts secret of the modified small incision technique for appendectomy originated from. They were all puzzled.
After the surgery, the three were brought to the office for expert reviews.
Number one was Zhou Xiaodong, who entered and bowed, “Hello, experts and teachers, I am number one, Zhou Xiaodong.”
When Zhou Xiaodong came in, he saw his graduate school mentor Qian Liang.
Qian Liang, naturally, also nodded slightly in acknowledgment to Zhou Xiaodong.
The reviews began, and Qian Liang smiled, “Zhou Xiaodong is my graduate student. To be honest, when I came here today and saw this lad, I was a bit surprised. I know you quite well, so let me give you some comments.” “Xiaodong, working here is not the same as studying. I’ve seen several of your surgeries today, two appendectomies and one gastrostomy, which are all your specialties. To be honest, I’m quite satisfied. Your performance today has shown much more stability compared to two years ago!”
“Being a doctor is exactly that, constantly honing yourself, doing every small task well, completing every surgery, and suturing every wound. You’ve done well, you’ve made progress these two years.”
But… your shortcomings still exist and are quite obvious. That is, during surgery, you’re still walking the path I taught you… Imitation is not wrong, but imitation is not the way out. The purpose of surgery is to heal and save people. To become an expert, you must learn real surgery. Up to now, you have not really mastered surgery, and I hope the next time I see you operate, you will impress me. Your final score is 90. Overall, you did not disappoint me, keep it up!”
After that, another expert reviewed Li Shijian, looking at him with less enthusiasm, “Young man, your surgery is steady, your fundamentals are solid, but… Don’t you think your surgery lacks soul? Your every move is too rigid, lacking a flexibility. Actually, you have a clear flaw when you operate, which is your response when faced with sudden inflammatory secretions… It’s because your ability to adapt is lacking. You probably lack independent recognition and thinking towards surgery. You still need to improve.”
Then it was Chen Gang’s turn.
At this point, nobody wanted to speak…
Because they simply had nothing to say. Just like with numbers one and two, these seasoned experts could immediately spot any issue.
But when it came to Chen Cang, they couldn’t find any faults…
Simply put, Chen Cang had performed the appendectomy better than they could, no exaggeration.
For a moment, they started pushing the task of commenting among themselves.
Seeing that nobody wanted to give comments, Liu Siqi simply said, “I know this young man, I’ll do the review then.”
“Hmm, Chen Cang, to be honest, your performance today has once again refreshed my impressions of you. Very good! Very talented!”
“The first surgery, where you accurately grasped the presence of an ectopic appendix outside of the peritoneum, really dazzled all of us…; the second surgery, your laparoscopic appendectomy with the modified technique even scared a few of us old-timers, and the tendon suturing in the end… I’m speechless, it was simply perfect!”
“As for the three surgeries you performed today, I genuinely have no remarks to give, because… other than praising you, I don’t know where to find faults!” At these words, everyone burst into laughter, obviously delighted.
Chen Cang smiled graciously to show his thanks.
At this moment, Liu Siqi took a deep breath and said earnestly, “All I can say to you is, do not waste your talent, your future shouldn’t be confined to this place!”
After this statement, the several old-timers’ eyes lit up in realization!
Indeed, how could this small Second Provincial Hospital hold on to such a genius? And so… they each looked at Chen Cang with their own cunning intentions.
However, even though these words seemed ordinary, they scared Hao Xuliang half to death when he heard them!
These people, appearing so upright and honest, were clearly coveting our Chen Cang!
What do they mean by his future shouldn’t be confined to this place?
They were clearly tempting Chen Cang!
Using the might of their large enterprises, they wanted to lure Chen Cang away! Thinking this, Hao Xuliang hurriedly said, “Alright, now let me announce the results. First place: Chen Cang, too points; second place, Zhou Xiaodong, 90 points; third place, Li Shijian: 85 points.”
“We will publish the results today… as quickly as possible! Chen Cang, you should go back and get ready.”
In reality, according to the usual practice, the administrative staff’s efficiency, and following the procedural regulations… the earliest announcement would be made next week.
But… Hao Xuliang was scared! He feared that if he delayed, things might change.
After all, with internal strife and external threats, the Second Provincial Hospital was in discord, and there were formidable rivals watching. He had better discuss this matter with Dean Qin as soon as possible!
After the conclusion, Zhou Xiaodong suddenly came over and whispered to
ChenCang, “DoctorChen!”
Chen Cang turned, surprised, and looked at Zhou Xiaodong, “What’s up?”
Zhou Xiaodong smiled, “Can we add each other on WeChat? My teacher told me to learn more from you, saying that you are a genius. I figured I should bask in the genius’s aura.”
Chen Cang paused, being from the same hospital, of course, he wouldn’t refuse, and after adding him, Zhou Xiaodong suddenly whispered, “Um… Doctor Chen, I have no issues with you, you know, our chief… cough cough, let’s mind our own business, and it won’t affect us, right?”
Chen Cang got the gist instantly and smiled, “Yeah, right, everybody minds their own business!”
Zhou Xiaodong heard this and also smiled happily, patted Chen Cang on the shoulder, “My chief is waiting outside, I better not talk too much with you… otherwise… it wouldn’t be good!”
Having said that, he rose and left.
Chen Cang was also about to leave when Li Shijian came over, his face showing no sign of disappointment, and even a bit of indifference and relief, “Doctor Chen, let’s also add each other on WeChat, shall we? It’s a case of ‘No fighting, no acquaintance’.”
Chen Cang looked at the carefree Li Shijian and smiled, “Sure.”
Li Shijian sighed and suddenly said, “I’m planning to resign, to leave this place.”
Chen Cang didn’t understand, “Why?”
Li Shijian laughed, “I have no future in this department, I’m just someone who does the work. To me, the thoracic surgery department, if it’s not disbanded, should get a new chief, anything else is meaningless!”
“Besides, I’m just a contract worker; if I go, I go. Wherever I go, it’s better than working for Xianbei here, getting frustrated day by day by listening to their nonsense.”
Having said that, Li Shijian laughed and walked away.
Chen Cang was taken aback.
Working for Xianbei?
What’s that about?

You guys say my chapters are “short”… I disagree!
You might not have noticed… but each chapter is 12 pages long, nearly 2500 words. Others have only 2000 words… I’m wronged… If you still think it’s short, I have a good solution, which is to increase the font size, and then you’ll find that it has indeed become longer…
Haha, thanks to “Brother ‘Seek Not Progress, Think of You’” for the 10,000 reward, becoming the first Hall Master of this book. Thank you, I’ll add an extra chapter for you when the book goes live.
As for the live launch… I’m not clear either, I’ll strive to have as much free content as possible. How about we go live in November? What do you all think?
