Chapter 247: Chapter 248: Wang Yushan’s Friend Request

Wang Yushan was also stunned, because everyone had witnessed Qin Xiang designing this skin flap design with their own eyes.

But what exactly did Qin Xiang’s words mean?

Even the doctors in the office of the First Hospital of Dongda were looking at the director with a face full of surprise. What was up with the director?

Qin Xiang gave a slight smile, unconcerned about everyone’s gaze. From beginning to end, he never intended to take advantage of Chen Cang’s ideas and concepts, because for him, these things really didn’t matter much.

What’s the use of being praised?

He, Qin Xiang, the vice-chairman of the Dongyang Province Society for Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, was beyond caring for such trifles.

He had enough accolades!

Besides, when the time truly comes for you to deliver, and you can’t come up with a good plan, wouldn’t that be like slapping your own face?

As the saying goes, one lie needs a hundred lies to cover it up.

At that time, Qin Xiang really hadn’t thought about stealing Chen Cang’s plan. He just felt that an idea had naturally emerged in his mind, and that’s where the concept came from.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiang spoke lightly, “Actually, before the surgery, I invited Doctor Chen to our hospital, hoping he could assist me in operating on the patient Dou Xin. Doctor Chen has a terrifying talent in the field of skin plastic surgery, and he is extremely skilled in the area of cosmetic skin suturing as well.”

“For this surgery, the patient Dou Xin is under the care of our department. We have tried our best to reduce the cost as much as possible, and Doctor Chen’s involvement in assisting with the surgery didn’t involve any money. Under such circumstances, Doctor Chen resolutely joined our surgery team.”

“And yesterday afternoon, after Doctor Chen arrived at our department, I took him to see the patient. Then, he looked at Dou Xin’s condition and started to sketch on the paper. Honestly, I didn’t pay much attention at the time. I thought Doctor Chen was researching according to the principles of facial plastic surgery…”

Qin Xiang shared everything exactly as it happened, without exaggeration or embellishment, simply narrating the events.

“So, the fact that I could come up with such a plan on the spot is frankly quite embarrassing. It’s truly all thanks to Doctor Chen’s contribution!”

At this point, Qin Xiang’s eyes, looking at Chen Cang, were full of appreciation!

“It’s fair to say that this surgery, from beginning to end, was planned, designed, operated, and sutured all by Doctor Chen. It was systematic and flawless!”

“And only Doctor Chen could have executed this design to its utmost best.”

Qin Xiang’s words silenced everyone present.

All eyes were on Chen Cang, a young man with handsome looks, a modest smile always playing on his lips.

Wang Yushan believed it, not for any other reason but because of Chen Cang’s mastery of the design. During the entire surgery, Chen Cang and Qin Xiang barely communicated, and Chen Cang’s spirited operation, confident stitching, and the spontaneously modified details told him that this young man was extraordinary.

What Wang Yushan didn’t expect was that the scheme had been designed without the discussion of everyone present. It was enough to show his talent and strength in skin flap transplantation had reached a certain level.

Qin Xiang smiled faintly and took the initiative to start applauding. “Come, let’s give a round of applause and invite Doctor Chen to share today’s surgery with us.”

Chen Cang wasn’t stage-frightened. If Qin Xiang hadn’t acknowledged it, he wouldn’t have said another word, but if he needed to step forward, Chen Cang wouldn’t shy away.

Confidently standing up, Chen Cang introduced himself and went straight to the point, beginning his explanation of today’s surgery.

From the selection of the skin flap to its design, Chen Cang explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He addressed every small detail, from human anatomy to facial plastic surgery, from skin flap transplantation to wound healing.

Just the design alone took Chen Cang half an hour to explain, and everyone listened for half an hour.

During that time, the people weren’t just listening; they were discussing, expressing their own viewpoints. They voiced their doubts and considerations, and Chen Cang was there to explain.

Especially Wang Yushan, whether out of caution or for some other reason, asked many questions unrelated to the current surgery, but Chen Cang always managed to give a satisfactory response.

As time ticked away, when the final stage of the surgery was explained, the audience erupted into warm applause once again.

Because many doubts were cleared up through Chen Cang’s explanations, and he didn’t hold back. Instead, he openly gave everyone many suggestions and ideas, even broadening the prospects for skin flap transplantation in the future.

Chen Cang’s flap transplantation was truly masterful, so much so that even Wang Yushan, who was very knowledgeable in this field, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up and admit his admiration!

At this moment, no one doubted Chen Cang anymore. Even the many chief specialists and doctors from the Sixth Hospital of Modu City were inwardly nodding in approval.

Chen Cang bowed slightly and politely sat down.

At this time, Wang Yushan suddenly said, “Dr. Chen, could I have your contact information? Our Sixth Hospital often encounters some difficult cases, so perhaps we can exchange ideas and cooperate.”

Chen Cang naturally nodded and proactively shared his phone number and WeChat.

Wang Yushan smiled, “We’ll meet again.”

After the video conference ended, Chen Cang didn’t stay long; after all, the meals at Dongda First Hospital were not worth lingering over… He stood up to say goodbye to everyone and then left.

Busy with one thing and another, it was nearly twelve o’clock when Chen Cang finally remembered that he had a job fair to attend in the afternoon.

He made do with a meal at a small restaurant downstairs and then went home to get a good sleep.

Lying in bed, Chen Cang suddenly heard a string of notification sounds from his phone and discovered that there were twenty or thirty friend requests on WeChat… He looked at the notes, and they were very uniform:

“Dongda First Hospital Dermatology Xu Kailin”

“Dongda First Hospital xxx”

“Modu City Sixth Hospital Department of Hand Surgery xxx”

…

The stream of notifications made Chen Cang smile as he chose to accept them one by one.

Performing surgery was indeed exhausting, especially such high-precision ones, and it took Chen Cang no more than a few minutes to fall asleep there.

When he awoke, it was already three o’clock. Chen Cang felt refreshed, quickly got ready, and headed straight for the job fair in a taxi.

The job fair itself was held in the gymnasium of Dongyang Medical University, with hundreds of recruiting enterprises from Dongyang Province in attendance.

Dongyang Medical University could also be considered as the flagship among Dongyang Province’s medical colleges, with a large number of graduates each year. Similar job fairs had been held this year for the second or third time.

Chen Cang guessed that holding a job fair at this time in September must have had its purpose from the school’s perspective!

After all, it was precisely when the new students had just started school!

He wanted to tell those naive freshmen, “See? So many hospitals and pharmaceutical companies come to our school to recruit. Are you still worried about not finding a job?”

Hmm…

That’s what Chen Cang thought when he first entered the university, until after his graduation, when resume after resume sank without trace did he understand.

Recruitment is one thing, but employment… is another matter entirely.

These are two different issues!

Indeed, becoming a doctor doesn’t make it that hard to find a job, but if you have high aspirations, heaven will let you know what it means to be ‘life is as fragile as paper’.

Mainly, finding a satisfying job is still quite challenging.

Generally speaking, Chen Cang believed that Ph.D. students could match up with provincial-level top-three hospitals, master’s students had it easier finding jobs in municipal hospitals, and undergraduates were still quite popular in counties.

But if you wanted to skip a few levels, that might require more effort.
