Chapter 2293: Chapter 2293: Dare Not Speak
"Director Cao, you’re very busy." Director Li sighed, feeling he brought people at the wrong time.
"Director Li." A friendly voice responded from inside, "It’s okay. Once I finish speaking, they’ll leave."
With those words, the crowd squeezing inside the office dispersed with a "swish," like ministers dismissed by an emperor, hurriedly leaving the meeting place.
The moment the room emptied, the pressure on the Guoxie members suddenly rose. No one in the departing crowd engaged them in conversation, creating a noticeable sense of alienation and a hint of hostility.
Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng lingered at the doorway, pressing against the wall, trying to hear what those departing were saying.
Faint complaints echoed down the corridor:
"They are from Guoxie."
"Yes. Teacher Cheng mentioned newcomers would come today."
"So many have come, wanting to learn from our Teacher Cao? What right do they have?"
"Teacher Cheng said not to worry. Teacher Cao graduated from Guodu Medical University, so he’ll definitely favor those from Guodu first."
"Doesn’t Guoxie have its own pediatric department? Why do they have to come to our teaching hospital at Guodu?"
"Guoxie has a pediatric department, but it’s not as famous as our Shou’er. People from all over the country come to Shou’er to learn."
"Here to steal knowledge?"
"Teacher Cheng said not to make things difficult for Teacher Cao. Teacher Cao has teaching duties."
"My only worry now is — after they learn here, what do they want? Do they want to stay at our Shou’er?"
"They’re just interns. Where they’ll go after graduation isn’t certain."
These people consider those from Guoxie as competitors.
Heh. Zhang Desheng and Zhao Zhaowei ground their teeth: These people overthink. Those from Guoxie aren’t interested in pediatrics.
Pediatrics has many troublesome matters. Who would like it? Especially as internal medicine students, they know too well that pediatrics is unprofitable, notoriously ranking last in clinical income.
No way they’d stay in pediatrics. Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng thought to themselves.
"You guys —" Ren Chongda frowned at their sneaky behavior in others’ territory, sternly warning his students: Come over to meet the teacher.
No matter what, getting the chance to learn at the nation’s top-ranked children’s specialty hospital should be cherished. Others want to learn but don’t have the opportunity.
The counselor’s criticism was clear. Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng obediently returned, standing beside the other three students.
The students and Ren Chongda looked at the celebrity mentor Director Li mentioned, feeling an explosion of emotion: truly a star.
Except for Student Xie who was prepared, the others had to rub their eyes hard.
Didn’t see wrong, did we?
Pan Shihua reacted the quickest, having caught the secret from Student Xie’s earlier slip.
Wei Shangquan, having seen the person with Student Pan beside Student Xie before, immediately recognized Second Brother Cao’s strikingly handsome face. The entire Cao Family boasts looks that leave a deep impression.
In front of them, Second Brother Cao wearing a white coat appeared more ethereal than during that evening.
"Ah—" Wei Shangquan was just about to exclaim.
Opposite, Cao Zhao glanced at him with his dark eyes: Hmm?
Didn’t dare say, like Student Xie and Student Pan. Wei Shangquan immediately swallowed the "ah" he was about to utter, his heart pounding, feeling uneasy.
Second Brother Cao is different from Senior Cao. How to say, Senior Cao is radiant and down-to-earth, while Second Brother Cao seems a bit too "celestial."
