When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Truly a Great Talent!

Zhou Hongguang already knew clearly that Chen Cang was doing him a favor!

And he did it thoroughly!

A single “I’m not good at single-tube surgeries” really warmed old Zhou’s heart.

It gave him plenty of face!

And Qian Liang, watching Chen Cang, was filled with nothing but regret…

If only he had known how capable this kid was, Qian Liang would have put his pride aside and snatched Chen Cang up no matter what!

Thinking about letting such a promising young talent slip away made Qian Liang’s heart sour with regret.

Why did you have to boast back then?

Insist that Chen Cang write some paper!

And you were putting on airs as the chair of hepatobiliary surgery…

Now keep putting on airs, why don’t you!?

Qian Liang was feeling incredibly wronged inside.

At that thought, he almost wished time could flow backward, sending him back to the scene of Chen Cang’s examination to grab hold of him and tell him:

“Chen Cang, I want to be your teacher! I don’t need anything in return, even if you were an idiot, I’d be willing!”

Unfortunately… there’s no such thing as a regret medicine, he could only watch as Chen Cang was embraced by the cardiovascular department.

Alas…

This is a story more sad than sadness itself.

Zhang Youfu, on the other hand, was much better off. Watching Chen Cang, he was filled with eager anticipation!

My general surgery department is in need of talents like you.

At this thought, he sneakily glanced at Li Baoshan.

But all he saw was Li Baoshan staring straight back at him with eyes full of ridicule and warning: Chen Cang is my man, don’t even think about it!

Zhang Youfu’s mouth twitched, you Li Baoshan, just you wait!

…

…

Zhou Hongguang took over the scalpel, and at that moment, he felt as though the temperature of the scalpel was conveying Chen Cang’s faith and entrustment.

I must not let him down!

Yes!

With this in mind, Zhou Hongguang felt a surge of fighting spirit. The surgery went unexpectedly smoothly.

[Ding! Zhou Hongguang’s favorability +20!]

Chen Cang sighed.

What use do I have for your favorability?

At this thought, Chen Cang couldn’t help but shake his head.

If it weren’t for the fact that I truly can’t perform biliary surgery, would I give you this level 50 variant boss to tackle?

Thinking this, Chen Cang felt a pang of heartache.

There must be great loot to be had…

The more Chen Cang thought about it, the more dissatisfied and regretful he became.

In this moment, he understood a principle:

Falling behind means taking a beating,

Who made your skills inadequate?

…

Time ticked away second by second.

Although Chen Cang was internally complaining, he didn’t delay in his work at all.

Suddenly, with a ‘ding’, a system notification sounded.

Chen Cang was momentarily stunned!

[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully learned through observation and obtained an advanced surgical skill: Hepatic Injury Repair Surgery (Master Level) Incomplete Version!]

Chen Cang was initially pleased, but upon seeing it was an incomplete version, he immediately had an issue with it.

I’m a whole person, yet I get an incomplete version…

However, at this time, Chen Cang had no time to dwell on it; he had to focus on the surgery first.

He could argue with the system later.

…

…

Because of what had happened before, Zhou Hongguang was now much more earnest, paying great attention to every detail.

This made Chen Cang somewhat impressed; a master indeed!

No wonder he was a legendary NPC.

Even comrade Youfu was much inferior by comparison.

About fifteen minutes later, the surgery was thoroughly completed.

After the operation ended, Zhou Hongguang didn’t close the abdomen right away, but instead habitually passed the scalpel to the nurse.

Then he took a step back.

Usually, this was as far as he went, and he would leave the operating room, with the subsequent closing of the abdomen being the responsibility of the assistants or trainees.

It was a habit years in the making.

Seeing this, Chen Cang efficiently took needle holders from the nurse and prepared to begin closing the abdomen.

However, at that moment, Zhou Hongguang’s face turned red!

He cursed inwardly, ‘Well done, Zhou Hongguang, you’re getting quite the show off, aren’t you? Little Doctor Chen has done you such a huge favor, given you so much face, and yet you let him do this skilled-less task of closing the abdomen without even a word of thanks. Have you grown too accustomed to acting like a big shot?’

As soon as he had taken a step back, Zhou Hongguang hurriedly moved forward again.

But when he saw that Chen Cang had already picked up the needle holders and was ready to suture,

Zhou Hongguang couldn’t help feeling embarrassed, caught in a dilemma of whether to proceed or retreat.

With that thought, Zhou Hongguang couldn’t help but say, “Thank you.”

That “thank you” stunned everyone around!

Even Chen Cang was full of surprise and question marks.

Why thank him?

Chen Cang replied with an awkward smile, “This is what I should do!”

Li Baoshan also smiled slightly, “Director Zhou is being too polite. This is what Little Chen should do. It’s his honor to assist you.”

The surgery was very successful, and everyone’s mood finally relaxed.

But… when Zhou Hongguang heard these words, he felt differently. Wasn’t Little Chen to be nurtured as a treasure?

Was he merely there to provide assistance to others?

Wasn’t this a waste of talent?

Even in our hospital, we would not dare to casually assign such a talented person menial tasks.

With that thought, Zhou Hongguang suddenly entertained a bold idea!

But as a newcomer, he felt that perhaps this wasn’t very appropriate.

Take it slow, take it slow. After all, Chen Cang is still young. There’s plenty of time ahead…

Chen Cang’s suturing was quick and steady, closing the abdomen layer by layer.

Honestly, this was the most difficult abdomen Chen Cang had ever sutured.

The adipose layer was too thick…Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A few of the chiefs, bored and pondering their own thoughts without exchanging a word, just watched Chen Cang suture.

After all, each of them harbored intentions towards Chen Cang!

But…

Although they were casually observing Chen Cang’s suturing, one look left them astounded.

For Chen Cang’s suturing was precise and meticulous, the stitches and spacing were expertly chosen and neatly concealed, as though measured with a vernier caliper for precision!

This made them breathe even more rapidly.

Such hands!

More delicate than a woman’s!

These were hands born for surgery!

And moreover, Chen Cang’s sense of distance and space was just too good.

Zhou Hongguang found it increasingly pleasing to watch!

Qian Liang grew increasingly regretful!

Zhang Youfu became increasingly envious!

And Li Baoshan, as he watched the others… grew increasingly fearful.

Could these be… a pack of wolves?

This thought made Li Baoshan suddenly regretful. Every time he brought Chen Cang out to show off, there was always a crowd of envious onlookers.

No, he had to think of a solution when he got back!

As Chen Cang tied off the last surgical knot, people looked at the suturing again and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Zhou Hongguang couldn’t help but lament, what is a master?

The couplet reads: To highlight the essence in the midst of complex surgeries above,

To reveal the mastery in the simple act of abdominal closure below.

The horizontal inscription reads: Truly great talent!

This suturing, even in our hospital, would be a remarkable sight to behold.

Lacking in culture, Zhang Youfu thought to himself, ‘Holy smokes, amazing…’

Qian Liang also sighed. He realized that Chen Cang was good in every aspect, except that he liked to hide his skills.

With such great talent hidden away, why conceal it?

Every encounter revealed something new.

Qian Liang shook his head involuntarily.

Let it be, let it be!
