Chapter 557: Do You Want to Be the Second in Command?
The surgery ended, very smoothly!
Or perhaps it would be more apt to say, unexpectedly smoothly.
Bo Jianming glanced at Chen Cang, seemingly deep in thought, wanting to say something, but then looked at Meng Xi and hesitated, ultimately holding back.
He really wanted to ask Chen Cang a question, what was the real reason for choosing Meng Xi as a mentor?
Was it solely because Meng Xi was outstanding in scientific research?
Bo Jianming didn’t think so; he believed that what drew Chen Cang to Meng Xi wasn’t that 140 IQ but rather that...
However, such personal matters, Bo Jianming naturally wouldn’t probe further!
After all, it was someone else’s private issue, and thinking of this, Bo Jianming sighed, "Youth is great!
However, you need not only youth but also strength!
With this in mind, Bo Jianming looked at Chen Cang teasingly and said, "Little Chen, study hard with Teacher Meng, The things Teacher Meng knows, you won’t be able to learn in a lifetime!"
After speaking, he gave Chen Cang a look that all men understand, smiled, and left.
Seeing this, Scholar Two hurriedly followed.
Zhang Dai believed that a genius like Chen Cang would definitely not be fixated on such carnal pleasures, and even if he liked Teacher Meng, it was in a way that was above base interests.
Bo Jianming gave his white coat to Zhang Dai to take to the office, and then left for the day.
Wu Peng looked at Chen Cang with gratitude, "Doctor Chen, it’s thanks to you again today!"
Chen Cang smiled, "You’re too kind, we’re just helping each other!"
After washing his hands, Chen Cang began to tally up his earnings from the operation!
Ding! Success in performing a constrictive inflammation surgery and an unnamed artery injury repair, comprehensive settlement, reward received: 1. Experience +1.5w; 2. Obtained Artificial Blood Vessel Replacement Surgery (Master level); 3. Obtained Stamina Potion +1;
Seeing the system rewards, Chen Cang’s heart was trembling!
Such great stuff!
A stamina attribute?
Was this the first time Chen Cang ever received a reward for the stamina attribute?
Thinking of this, Chen Cang was exhilarated.
What about purple Skill Books!
What about experience!
Was there anything better than a stamina potion?
Although he wasn’t sure what effects it might have, Chen Cang felt that stamina and physical strength were very different!
These are things everyone should understand!
Stamina Potion: After ingestion, permanently increases stamina attribute by +1!
And it’s permanent!
Chen Cang’s eyes sparkled, and he sported a lewd smile...
Making Meng Xi, who was by his side, pause for a moment.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Chen Cang suddenly came to his senses, laughing awkwardly, "Daydreaming about Meng? No no! That’s not right! Not at all! What are you thinking about, Teacher Meng? Besides, it’s not daytime now, it’s past eight, the sky is already dark..."
Listening to him, Meng Xi felt that Chen Cang’s words were a bit incoherent and strange.
But it didn’t matter, "Let’s go, we have a surgery tonight, it’s an aortic stenosis surgery."
Chen Cang nodded his head.

Zhang Dai returned to the office and suddenly found that both Scholar Three and Ge Huai were still there, not having left work yet.
Ge Huai, looking gloomy, saw Zhang Dai come back and suddenly said, "Old Zhang, what do you think is the real reason Chen Cang wants to take Director Meng as his mentor? I always feel something’s off!"
Scholar Three, without changing his expression, pricked up his ears but remained silent.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dai frowned, "What do you mean?" @@novelbin@@
Ge Huai nodded, "Yeah! I think that kid, Chen Cang, definitely has ulterior motives. He didn’t seek out Director Tao Zi as his mentor but insisted on coming to our hospital to report to Director Meng! It’s clear he’s coveting Director Meng’s body!"
As he said this, Ge Huai clenched his teeth with resentment. Before Chen Cang arrived, Director Meng used to take him along for surgeries, but ever since Chen Cang came, Director Meng gradually began to distance himself from him...
Ah...
Whenever he thought about this, Ge Huai’s heart would fill with even more sorrow.
In fact, he had totally misunderstood Director Meng. Director Meng’s reason for not letting him assist was clearly out of fear that he would be criticized by Chen Cang, affecting Director Meng’s image and status within the department...
Zhang Dai was now one of Chen Cang’s supporters. Ever since he witnessed Chen Cang’s surgery, Chen Cang’s standing in his eyes had rapidly risen. How could Doctor Chen be such a philistine?
Doctor Chen must surely be like himself, diligently studying to improve his surgical skills. Even if we did covet Director Meng’s body, it would be standing upon the lofty goal of improving children’s genes and fighting for the cause of human health for a lifetime!
How could Ge Huai understand our ideals?

Inside the operating room, with the patient yet to be brought in, Meng Xi took out the angiographic images of the patient, turned to Chen Cang, and said, "Do you see this? This segment is quite long and definitely needs to be excised. My current idea is to cut this part out and then replace it with a prosthetic blood vessel. Do you have any thoughts?"
Meng Xi still greatly respected Chen Cang, discussing the surgery with him earnestly.
Chen Cang shook his head, "I don’t have any thoughts."
Meng Xi suddenly looked at Chen Cang, "I’ve never seen you perform a prosthetic blood vessel replacement before. I’ll teach you today!"
Chen Cang was taken aback, "Actually... I might know how!"
Chen Cang glanced at the newly appeared Skill Book, hesitated for a moment, and chose to activate it directly.
Yes!
Now he truly knew how.
But looking at the confident light in Teacher Meng’s eyes, he sighed. Well, let’s just pretend I don’t know.
Meng Xi glanced at Chen Cang, "Pay close attention. In fact, prosthetic blood vessel replacement isn’t really a specialized surgery, but it’s widely used clinically nowadays. I feel it might come up in the upcoming competition, as it’s an indispensable part of major cardiac blood vessel surgeries."
Chen Cang nodded and suddenly asked, "Teacher Meng, are you participating in the competition too?"
Meng Xi naturally nodded, "Of course, I’ll be representing Dongda First Hospital."
Chen Cang suddenly looked at Meng Xi, "Teacher Meng... do you want to be second?"
Meng Xi was startled, "Second? Why would I want to be second?"
Chen Cang matter-of-factly stated, "Because I am the first!"
Meng Xi, looking at the somewhat inflated ego of Chen Cang, couldn’t help but laugh, "Little Chen, you’re being too arrogant. Not to mention Dongyang [city] not making the top ten every year, just within the province, there are still many excellent doctors!"
"At your age of thirty-five, you’re not at an advantage."
"I didn’t participate in last year’s competition, but the most dazzling was Guo Yunfei from our Dongyang Provincial Cardiovascular hospital. Unfortunately, he encountered a senior attending physician from the Capital’s Jishuitan in the second round. Otherwise, he could have achieved quite a decent result."
"This year has a big chance for him. Forget the national competition; to enter the national regionals, you must place in the top three in the province, and then you can represent Dongyang Province."
At this point, Meng Xi thought Chen Cang would show some surprise, but unfortunately, Chen Cang was very calm.

Meng Xi suddenly said, "You want me to be second?"
Chen Cang smiled, "That depends on whether you’re willing or not!"
What do you think?
