When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Wu Tongpu has been feeling restless these days.

The reason is simple: Chen Cang is leaving.

Seeing Wu Tongpu like this, Xiao Zhehai couldn't help but advise, "Come on, Old Wu, you're a grown man, why are you so worried?"

Xiao Zhehai is working tirelessly and quietly to raise funds.

Every now and then, he goes out to do freelance surgeries, and the people up top have come to accept it, without questioning it.

After all, not encouraging freelance surgeries is because of uneven skill levels and difficulty in accountability, which can easily spark doctor-patient conflicts.

But Xiao Zhehai, as a figure at the level of hospital director at Ruijin Hospital, is hoped by the nation to perform surgeries for a few more years!

Think about it, such a top expert, so dedicated, going out to spread excellent surgical techniques, enhancing the local doctors' diagnostic skills—this kind of thing leads everyone to remain tacitly aware.

Moreover, this can alleviate the current uneven distribution of medical resources.

Xiao Zhehai is considered someone who is ambitious.

Besides, he hasn't done anything illegal, so the Health Commission wouldn't pursue him.

Wu Tongpu couldn't help but say, "I'm not worried about Chen Cang leaving!"

Xiao Zhehai was taken aback, laughing as he said, "Not worried? You sure look nervous enough!"

Wu Tongpu immediately said, "I'm not nervous because of that."

"I'm worried that when Chen Cang leaves, he'll take my emergency center personnel with him!"

With that, the room fell silent.

Xiao Zhehai initially stayed quiet for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're exaggerating a bit, how could that happen!"

Wu Tongpu couldn't help but say, "Don't say that, this... is very possible!"

Wu Tongpu recalled events from a while ago and couldn't help but speak to Xiao Zhehai, "You know about the project our hospital did not long ago, right? The one on Marfan syndrome surgery!"

Xiao Zhehai nodded, "Yeah, I know!"

"Clearly one of the three major awards this year will be yours!"

Xiao Zhehai enviously glared at Wu Tongpu, "I really don't know where your good luck comes from!"

Wu Tongpu sighed, "That's not what I'm talking about. At that time, we never even planned to approve that project!"

"You wouldn't believe the scene at the time."

"At that time, after a few of us hospital directors discussed not approving it, our cardiovascular and general surgery departments exploded!"

"It was Xu Ziming and He Zhiqian, they mobilized the department doctors and nurses, wanting to use nearly a year's worth of department bonuses to cooperate with Chen Cang on this project. You tell me, isn't that scary!"

"At that time, the excitement was infectious, so many people in the department responded. I was puzzled, you tell me who would ignore money, yet hundreds of people from two departments were willing to pay out of pocket for the project!"

Speaking of this, Wu Tongpu sighed, "You tell me, just how frightening was it then."

"And... Chen Cang was impressive back then but not as exaggerated as now!"

"Do you know what nickname our hospital has given Chen Cang now?"

Xiao Zhehai was also stunned by what Wu Tongpu was talking about.

He shook his head dumbfounded, "I don't know... what's the nickname?"

Wu Tongpu smiled wryly, "Now Chen Cang is known as the Academician Student Mentor!"

Upon hearing Wu Tongpu's words, Xiao Zhehai was shocked!

Academician Student... Mentor?

He's heard of Master's student mentors, PhD student mentors, but this was the first time he's heard of an Academician Student Mentor!

Could it be, academicians can also be cultivated?

However, upon careful thought, Xiao Zhehai couldn't laugh.

In Chen Cang's hands, maybe he really can train academicians.

Think about Xu Ziming, this guy wasn't particularly outstanding in the cardiovascular field, but he managed to become the inheritor of Chen's heart non-stop Pacing Technology, and acquired a world biomedical award, earning this year's academician title!

Look at Zhou Hongguang, clearly, he couldn't make it through, given Ji Jianye was blocking him up ahead, and he himself had Parkinson's.

Now, it's all good; he was easily pushed up, and incidentally, one conquered Parkinson's!

Reportedly... even Gong Daizhen in the field of cosmetic surgery is now apprenticed to Chen Cang.

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Cang's title of Academician Student Mentor is well-deserved!

Thinking this, Xiao Zhehai instantly understood Wu Tongpu's inner fear.

Honestly, the fear associated with Chen Cang's domination is somewhat terrifying.

Wu Tongpu's worry has added a few lines to his forehead wrinkles, "Hey, you tell me, can I not worry?"

"With Chen Cang, there's no lack of major prizes. This time, Wu Hui! Now a key figure in Parkinson's surgery, was just an obscure deputy chief physician in the hospital back then, and now? Now, invitations from international conferences are being thrown around the department everywhere; damn it, there are some conferences I haven't even attended!"

"And He Zhiqian, though he hasn't said anything, it's clear he's next for the academician title, inheritor of Chen's digestive tract reconstruction technology, directly up! Who would dare to block the way? Isn't the entire world's digestive surgery led by Chen Cang?"

"Now, Chen Cang is like the touchstone, whoever he meets can activate their potential and talent!"

After listening, Xiao Zhehai also sighed.

Looking at Wu Tongpu suddenly filled with genuine pity.

Then suddenly...

Wu Tongpu uttered a sentence that almost made Xiao Zhehai choke on water.

Just when Xiao Zhehai was about to comfort Wu Tongpu, Wu Tongpu faintly said:

"Actually... I don't mind if you laugh at me, if I wasn't the director, I'd want to follow Chen Cang!"

With that, Xiao Zhehai was instantly rendered speechless, choking and coughing on his tea.

Wu Tongpu's eyes shone, "Come on, don't look at me like that."

"Let me ask you, if following Chen Cang means securing a Nobel Prize, would you go or not?"

The sentence left Xiao Zhehai speechless.

Xiao Zhehai couldn't help but say, "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Nobel Prize..."

Wu Tongpu directly threw the newspaper beside him onto the table, "Exaggeration? Look at this news!"

Xiao Zhehai took the newspaper out of curiosity, and upon reading it, was stunned!

"Former director of the Alzheimer's new drug development team, Zhang Mu, and Academician Yu Shuangyong followed Chen Cang back to Eastern Province to establish the Chen Cang New Drug Research Institute."

"Alberni Biomedical Prize winner, Parkinson's field academic leader Tethys joined Chen Cang's New Drug Research Institute with his team!"

"Eastern Province government encourages..."

Seeing these eye-catching news items, Xiao Zhehai was firmly shocked.

"This..."

"Isn't this too real!"

Wu Tongpu couldn't help but say, "You tell me if I should be worried, originally nearly five hundred researchers from the Alzheimer's New Drug Research Institute in the capital all resigned, following Chen Cang!"

"You say... when Chen Cang leaves, how many of our hospital staff will resign?"

The more Wu Tongpu talked, the more distressed he became!

Looking at Wu Tongpu as if overwhelmed with worry.

Xiao Zhehai instantly understood.

Even Tethys brought his belongings all the way from New York USA to An Yang, what else is there to say?

"Hey... Old Wu, look on the bright side, don't blame our comrades for having less steadfast willpower; blame instead on Chen Cang's overwhelming appeal!"

Speaking to this, Xiao Zhehai suddenly brightened up, a plan forming!

"By the way, Old Wu, I actually have a solution!"

Wu Tongpu immediately straightened up upon hearing this, "What solution?"

Xiao Zhehai said with a smile, "Now that Chen Cang has gone to Anyang, what do you think he needs most now?"

Wu Tongpu rolled his eyes: "Of course, he needs people the most!"

Xiao Zhehai couldn't help saying, "Exactly, you're short on people, so why not provide them? Isn't that a perfect solution?"

Just as Wu Tongpu was about to stomp his feet and curse, his eyes suddenly lit up, realizing the idea.

"You mean... I should actively provide him with people?"

Thinking of this, Wu Tongpu excitedly stood up and clapped his hands in approval!

"Good!"

"This is a great idea!"

"Old Xiao, you are truly cunning and strategic!"

Saying this, Wu Tongpu directly got up, didn't bother drinking tea, walked over to his desk, and took out pen and paper from the drawer.

Then, as he wrote, he muttered:

"What a great idea, truly a great idea. Chen Cang's emergency building has seven or eight floors in total. Can't my capital emergency center afford such a small building?"

Before long, after scribbling and discussing with Xiao Zhehai, a comprehensive plan emerged.

Subsequently, Wu Tongpu adjusted his expression and said to Xiao Zhehai, "You can go now, I have important matters to discuss with Chen Cang!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhehai was displeased—it was clearly a case of burning bridges after crossing them.

So Xiao Zhehai said, "This... Old Wu, I actually also had this thought!"

Wu Tongpu immediately pointed at Xiao Zhehai and laughed.

The two old foxes couldn't help but chuckle, their faces full of cunning.

...

On Chen Cang's end, he was in the middle of attending to a patient and had just given medical advice when his phone rang!

"Professor Chen, could you come to my office for a moment?"

Wu Tongpu said with an amicable face.

This piqued Chen Cang's curiosity.

To think, lately, Director Wu looked at him as if he had some deep grudge.

What happened today?

With some apprehension, he delegated his work to someone else and headed towards the administration building.

After entering the office, Wu Tongpu invited Chen Cang to sit down.

"Chen Cang, just like that, a year has passed. I still remember when you first arrived!"

Wu Tongpu took the lead, playing a beautiful emotional card.

Chen Cang nodded: "Thank you, Director Wu, for taking care of me over this past year!"

Chen Cang was speaking the truth, Wu Tongpu had truly taken good care of him.

Wu Tongpu nodded with a slight smile: "Ah, you're leaving soon. Honestly, I am quite reluctant!"

"But you're facing a difficult task there. The newly constructed emergency building is about to start operations, and you have a lot of pressure."

"I called you over today to talk to you about a few things, which I consider my seasoned insights!"

Chen Cang's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Director Wu."

Wu Tongpu then shared many life experiences, including hospital management, how to get along with talents, department relationship adjustments... etc.!

Beside him, Xiao Zhehai, also a seasoned director, had rich experience as well.

These were all valuable insights, and Chen Cang was quite content.

Later, around noon, Wu Tongpu suddenly said: "Ah... I'm still a bit worried about you."

"How about this, Chen Cang. Although the emergency building is built, your staffing should not be done all at once. Because adjusting and supplementing as needed will maintain a gradient in talent, and it's crucial to avoid any gaps."

"Moreover, always staying in a state of recruitment can continuously absorb new talents!"

Chen Cang nodded, indeed, having a talent gradient was vital.

However...

With fewer people, it's impossible to operate efficiently.

Just as Chen Cang was about to speak, Wu Tongpu directly said:

"I have a solution to resolve your predicament."

Chen Cang's eyes lit up: "What solution?"

Wu Tongpu said leisurely, "The Capital Emergency Center Hospital can establish a collaborative relationship with Dongyang Province Second People's Hospital, becoming sister hospitals."

"In this way, we can regularly send people to your place for training, and you can also send your talents out for advanced studies here."

"Besides, you are quite familiar with our hospital, and can easily adapt to using the talent!"

"Your hospital is just starting out, so for the next couple of years, I'll assign more people to help you, which will, firstly, solve your problem, and secondly, they can learn from you!"

"Of course, you don't have to pay their wages; our hospital will cover that. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang's eyes brightened!

Looking at Wu Tongpu, he was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Director Wu."

Beside them, Ruijin Hospital's Xiao Zhehai also nodded with a smile and said, "Professor Chen, actually we at Ruijin are quite formidable too; we can also establish a collaborative relationship."

Chen Cang nodded: "Thank you all!"

Wu Tongpu smiled, "Professor Chen, don't hesitate to use them. If they're not working out, feel free to get rid of them!"

"Exactly!" Xiao Zhehai nodded.

Chen Cang truly didn't expect Wu Tongpu to give him a gift before he left.

To be honest, Chen Cang was quite flattered.

Compared to the Capital Emergency Center and Ruijin Hospital in Modu, the Provincial Second Hospital was minuscule.

With the help of these top-tier hospitals, Chen Cang could almost foresee the rapid development of his hospital.

Chen Cang couldn't help but ask, "About this collaboration..."

Wu Tongpu directly said, "Once your hospital's emergency building officially starts being used, it can officially bear the title: 'Capital Emergency Center Hospital Partner Hospital.'

"Yes, and we at Ruijin will do the same!" Xiao Zhehai nodded.

This is truly good news!

When his hospital partners with these large external hospitals, it can enhance patient confidence.

Furthermore, it allows for regular consultation with these hospitals' experts on challenging and complicated cases.

This partnership could solve many troublesome issues.

How could this not satisfy Chen Cang?

After he left, Wu Tongpu and Xiao Zhehai exchanged a glance and laughed.

It was achieved effortlessly!

The older, the wiser!

This way, Chen Cang wouldn't take the people away.

Yet, he could establish a friendly collaboration with Chen Cang's Provincial Second Hospital.

Maintaining the connection with Chen Cang.

Truly a wonderful idea!

A win-win situation!

The two agreed and decided to go out for lunch at noon.
