Chapter 144: Chapter 137: The Opportunity for a Master’s Degree (2)
And as far as she knew, Wu Ting hadn’t started learning or mastering them yet.
This meant that for certain surgical techniques, Jin Yan could also act as a teacher, sharing and exchanging knowledge with Wu Ting.
Laparoscopic biliary tract surgeries, external hernias, gastrointestinal surgeries, liver and kidney cysts, colonoscopies and their related treatments, and so on.
There was still much work for them to accomplish together.
Jin Yan secretly admired Wu Ting for a moment before crossing her arms and closing her eyes to rest. Due to her particularly curvy figure, Jin Yan had a habit of crossing her arms, providing a slight cover.
At the end of the row, Dr. Ling Ling’s heart was also pounding with excitement.
She had already reported on her recent work to Professor Ma Mengchao, giving him a full, detailed account of the entire research center’s progress.
Everything was far exceeding Professor Ma’s best expectations.
Once this expert consensus meeting was over, Ling Ling planned to return to Qinghe City to focus all her energy on her application for the Youth Fund project.
Professor Ma would also be assigning her some new tasks.
Ling Ling also knew that Wu Ting’s highest degree was only a bachelor’s. She couldn’t understand why such a brilliant clinical genius had such a lackluster undergraduate record, but there was no doubt that Wu Ting’s future was limitless.
From what she’d heard from Professor Ma, he intended to make arrangements for Wu Ting to pursue further education.
To have him complete his master’s as quickly as possible, and ideally, go on to get his doctorate.
Once he had those essential academic credentials, it would be much easier to proceed with many other work-related matters.
Wu Ting’s current level of education had become a shortcoming that would hinder many opportunities.
Although there were many exceptions made for exceptionally talented individuals, many projects, research topics, and awards had strict, non-negotiable requirements for academic qualifications and research experience.
After this phase was complete, Ma Mengchao planned to map out a more long-term plan for Wu Ting.
Ma Mengchao also had high hopes for Ling Ling. She and Wu Ting were the two important juniors that Professor Ma held in high regard.
Ma Mengchao hadn’t considered it before, but after this period of observing Wu Ting, he was preparing to include Wu Ting in his academician candidacy plan.
Wu Ting, this wild card, might just allow Ma Mengchao to achieve his ultimate goal ahead of schedule.
Ling Ling was also looking forward to Wu Ting officially becoming her junior under the same professor.
After that, they would maintain their separate forms of address. She would call him "Chief," and he would call her "Senior Sister."
Ling Ling closed her eyes, lost in her reverie, the corners of her mouth turning up unconsciously in a slight smile.

Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital.
Professor Shen Guofeng and Director Shen Xiaofei personally came to welcome Huo Yun and Wu Ting’s team.
After the three cars arrived.
Shen Xiaofei first took Cheng Feng and Yasui to install the equipment.
Meanwhile, Shen Guofeng waited for Wu Ting and the others to get out of the car.
He watched as a high-spirited Wu Ting stepped out of the front passenger seat, followed by his own star student, Yan Xi, then Ling Ling, and finally, Dr. Jin Yan.
Seeing the four of them, so full of youthful energy and radiating a sharp confidence, such a good-looking surgical team... even Shen Guofeng’s breath caught for a second.
He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. ’It really is great to be young.’
"Teacher, I’m back!"
Yan Xi was the first to greet her teacher.
Shen Guofeng looked at his disciple with great satisfaction. "Good. You’ve made something of yourself, Yan Xi."
"Professor Shen, a pleasure."
Despite her youthful face, Jin Yan’s words and actions were very mature. She shook hands with Professor Shen gracefully.
"Professor Shen~"
Ling Ling was also quite familiar with Shen Guofeng and greeted him warmly.
Finally, Wu Ting also walked up and gave a slight nod. Everything was understood without words.
Once Wu Ting was out and had positioned himself, the three female doctors tacitly fell into place half a step behind him. It was clear that he was the leader, and they were willingly playing a supporting role.
Looking at this quartet, Shen Guofeng was surprised. He hadn’t expected that Wu Ting could command the sincere respect of three uniquely talented, proud, and brilliant female doctors.
Taking advantage of a blind spot, Shen Guofeng secretly gave Wu Ting a personal thumbs-up.
Just then, the veteran driver, Huo Yun, finished parking the car and walked over.
This time, although Huo Yun was only a driver and not participating in the surgery, he was just as full of vigor.
"Professor Shen, long time no see."
When Shen Guofeng saw Huo Yun, he also hurried forward to shake his hand.
"Director Huo, welcome, welcome. It must have been a long journey."
"Let’s go, let’s go. Everyone’s on a tight schedule, so we’ll skip the pleasantries. How about this: I’ll take the three doctors to our operating room first, and you all can start installing and calibrating the equipment."
"At the same time, Director Huo, Wu Ting, and I will discuss the patient’s condition and formulate a surgical plan together. After that, Dean Xu has also invited two other experts for a consultation."
"Of course, I’m confident that our technique and plan will outshine theirs, and we will secure the final right to perform this surgery."
Shen Guofeng spoke as he walked briskly.
...
...
Meanwhile, Dean Xu, along with Director Guo and Director Sha, went personally to Xiaoshan International Airport to pick up Professor Liang Ang and Dean Liu.
Dean Xu was an old acquaintance of the two top experts in hepatobiliary surgery.
After the three met, they exchanged warm greetings and began to chat.
Regarding this surgery, the two professors also offered their own opinions.
Director Guo drove while Director Sha briefed the two professors on the specific details of the situation.
At the same time, he spoke candidly with the two professors.
"Professor Liang, Dean Liu, it’s a little embarrassing for me to say this. It was just a coincidence that you were coming to Jin Province for an academic event, so I invited you both for an inter-hospital consultation."
"Originally, Professor Shen Guofeng was supposed to come as well. But he had another surgical team to receive. That team was our initial first-choice proposal, one that Professor Shen strongly advocated for."
"However, since this involves Dean Song’s own aunt, I felt we had to be extra cautious. So I took the liberty of inviting you both to join in a consultation."
"I wanted to explain the situation to you both first. When the time comes, the two teams will sit down together to exchange ideas."
Dean Xu Zhisheng explained the general situation with great sincerity.
Professor Liang Ang and Dean Liu Rong chuckled lightly.
"Dean Xu, you’re being too formal. This sort of thing is perfectly normal. It’s very common to have different surgical approaches for a difficult and complex case."
"Being able to choose the best from different plans is a good thing. We are both very eager to exchange ideas with other excellent teams in the country. Who knows, maybe some new sparks will fly when our two teams meet."
Professor Liang Ang and Dean Liu Rong were titans in their field; they had seen it all.
Given their absolute skill, they were not afraid of this kind of competition between different teams.
"Dean Xu, this is the kind of integrity a top-tier hospital should have. For Professor Shen to be so insistent, it seems his team is well worth discussing with."
Part of Dean Liu Rong’s purpose in coming to Xiao City was to investigate the recent development of peer hospitals in the city.
Professor Liang Ang was also looking forward to the upcoming clash between the two teams.
Pinfan Hospital was already at the forefront of liver tumor resection in the country, and he was the hospital’s "number one scalpel"!
Soon, Dean Xu returned to the conference room with the two professors.
Meanwhile, on Wu Ting’s team, the three doctors had also completed their calibrations and tests, perfectly recreating the dedicated operating room environment for the Perfect Triple Laparoscopic Assistance Technique.
Yasui and Cheng Feng also got to enter the conference room, basking in the reflected glory of Wu Ting, Director Huo, and the three female doctors.
For the surgical plan for Ms. Song Ying’s severe cirrhosis complicated by liver cancer, the competition between the two teams’ proposals had officially begun!
