Chapter 450: Chapter 450: This is Awesome!
A group of doctoral students looked at each other in dismay!
Undergraduates achieved something these Ph.D. students couldn’t?
Isn’t that quite normal?
Why should we be surprised?
Their undergraduate peers of the same age are now married with kids who can already call the man next door “Uncle Wang”, and here they are, not to mention having a wife, they don’t even have a boyfriend or a girlfriend!
Why should we be surprised?
Their undergraduate peers of the same age who graduated and became pharmaceutical sales reps are now making millions a year and can afford to keep a goddess, yet these guys can’t even afford to get a girlfriend—they’re polishing their hand!
Why should we be surprised?
We’ve long cultivated a heart that remains calm in the face of collapsing mountains, a faint smirk of disdain leaks out to cover up our envious and covetous souls that die of envy and cry of desire!
Zhou Hongguang looked at his group of students, sitting unfazed in front of him, and seemed… not at all surprised!
This… doesn’t seem to match his script at all!
Zhou Hongguang had confidently planned to take this opportunity to properly give these good-for-nothing rascals a lesson.
But…
Seeing everyone obediently listening to him, there seemed to be… no shock or curiosity at all.
This made Zhou Hongguang feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhou Hongguang looked at his most accomplished Scholar Three student, Dong Chen, thinking he should make an example out of him to warn the others, and suddenly asked, “Xiao Dong, aren’t you curious about what Chen Cang did? Why I want you to stay?”
Dong Chen let out a cold laugh, seeing through the old trick, and obediently showed a hint of nonchalance, shaking his head, “Not curious!”
Zhou Hongguang looked at this simple-minded fellow who had surprisingly learned his lesson, sighed, and turned to the more clever Scholar Two, Wang Xinlong, asking, “Xiao Wang, what about you?”
Wang Xinlong was savvier, “If the teacher asks us to stay, naturally there’s reason from the teacher!”
Zhou Hongguang was taken aback for a moment.
No.
This won’t do at all.
Zhou Hongguang had grown even more fond of Chen Cang after watching his surgery, thinking how outstanding this 27-year-old was. Not only did he perform excellent surgery, but he also improved two surgical techniques. And what about you doctoral students?
Don’t you have any sense of awareness?
Aren’t you ashamed?
So, Zhou Hongguang was displeased; he wanted to give these rascals a lesson, but… there’s no issue with lecturing them, but there must be an appropriate reason, right?
As soon as he came in, these people gave Zhou Hongguang a reason: arrogance.
They must think that by asking them to stay all night, he was showing arrogance and prejudice towards Chen Cang.
They looked down on Chen Cang, and that’s why they acted this way!
So, he deliberately wanted to arouse their curiosity, to tell them how amazing Chen Cang was, and then take the chance to teach them a lesson.
Unfortunately…
The script didn’t seem to work; these people were not curious in the slightest!
However…
Experience is still the best teacher!
Zhou Hongguang managed to become an academician, an associate dean, through his adaptability and resourcefulness.
So, with a sneer, he said, “Oh! Right, you guys still don’t know that Xiao Chen is merely a bachelor’s graduate, do you?”
The senior, Dong Chen, was taken aback and said indifferently, “We know that, we checked it! Look, this is the official website of the Second Provincial Hospital.”
Seeing everyone nodding in silence, Zhou Hongguang was so angry he almost threw his toupee!
“Aren’t you the least bit curious…!?”
The Scholar Two classmate shook his head…
Zhou Hongguang’s face changed, and with a slap on the table, he sighed with regret, “How many times have I taught you, as researchers in the field of science, especially in the health and medical sector, that we should always maintain a sense of curiosity about the outside world, always asking ourselves ‘why’!”
“Look at yourselves, do you have any desire for knowledge left! Ah… You’ve disappointed your teacher so much!”
“Do you think I’d be happy just because you listen to me? What I hope is for you to learn to think independently!”
“Do you understand the meaning of independent thinking?”
Zhou Hongguang spoke with passion, smiled inwardly, thinking, now you should feel ashamed, right?
Unfortunately…
Time ticked away…
But the group seemed unmoved.
Dong Chen said, “Teacher… you told us not to gossip too much…”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongguang exclaimed, “I don’t care! I have to teach you a lesson today, otherwise you won’t realize how far behind you are!”
Everyone was at a loss for words, seeing Teacher Zhou like this, they couldn’t help but sigh. Ah… If you want to scold us, just say it, why beat around the bush, it’s always like this…
They sighed, “Teacher, we know we were wrong!”
Zhou Hongguang immediately nodded with satisfaction, “Where were you wrong?”
Everyone: …
Zhou Hongguang continued, “Come here, come sit down, and let me tell you how amazing this young Chen is, and why I brought you all to Dongyang Province!”
Actually, Zhou Hongguang was famously kind to his students.
Basically, whenever there was a chance, he took his students with him to every meeting.
Most professors, once reaching Zhou Hongguang’s status and position, would assign their students to junior doctors for guidance, or simply throw them into the laboratory to fend for themselves, spending their days with a myriad of test mice!
When graduation came, the teacher would arrange a decent future for them.
This was the way a distinguished mentor typically treated their students!
Of course, many people dream of this kind of opportunity, after all, isn’t the purpose of studying to pursue a good future?
But Zhou Hongguang truly considered his students, teaching them to think, to do research, and clinical work.
Of course, scolding was for their own improvement, because he hoped to see them progress!
Only then did Zhou Hongguang say, “You definitely don’t know what I was just doing!”
“I just went to observe Chen’s surgery, and it really opened my eyes. I even thought about accepting Chen as my student despite the formalities.”
“The patient had a severe spleen laceration caused by a car accident… But the woman was only 33 years old… Chen, in order to…”
“That was suturing of the splenic vessels, and at that time the spleen was very fragile…”
Zhou Hongguang embellished the story, and everyone fell silent upon listening.
They were all physicians with rich clinical experience and understood the situation clearly, so after hearing Zhou Hongguang’s words, they were shocked.
For a moment, they were looking forward to Chen Cang’s lecture the next day!
At this point, Zhou Hongguang saw that the time was ripe and said indifferently:
“By the way, I heard that Chen published two papers this year, one on ‘Liver Transplantation’, and the other I believe should also be fine, in the ‘British Journal of Surgery’, improving two surgical procedures, and this is also why I brought you here!”
This statement left everyone stunned!
Their expertise might not be in other areas, but… when it comes to academic papers, they deal with them every day, how could they not understand.
Hearing the teacher say that Chen Cang had published two ‘Liver Transplantation’ level papers, they were all dumbfounded!
And to have improved two new surgical techniques!
That was truly impressive.
