Chapter 800: Chapter 718: You’ve Chosen the Right Place to Study

Teacher Zhang’s official tone left the crowd wide-eyed. The experts on the scene thought this person was some kind of authority figure, but he seemed too young to be so and they couldn’t figure out his identity.

Dean Xia, Director Han, Dean Sun, and Director Zhao were also taken aback. They turned their heads to look at Zhang Lin, this young man was showing off in such a situation, acting more like a leader than the actual leaders.

How could Zhang Lin miss this opportunity? After completing his speech with the confidence of a king, he took a sip of his tea and calmly waited for a response. His aura was that of a seasoned executive.

Xu Zhiliang watched this swaggering performance of Zhang Lin. He found himself tilting his head in thought as he didn’t expect the "swagger king" to not only show off but make it meaningful.

In the face of Teacher Zhang’s aura, Professor Wang was lost for words for a moment because Zhang Lin’s statements took a moral high ground.

"Our Comprehensive Surgery Department is at the forefront of technology in Sanbo Hospital. We frequently use new techniques, so our case and operation records may contain new terms. This doesn’t mean we’re not standardized. The effectiveness of a surgery is what matters most. Ivan is a top international expert. Many of the operations were innovated by him. To put it bluntly, the surgeries in your plastic surgery textbooks are years behind his. So, when you call his surgery unstandardized, what is the standard? Why does he need this standard? He is setting future standards. If we follow your logic, then this patient’s surgery should not have been operated on. By standard guidelines, this surgery couldn’t have been performed at all. What is our role as doctors? To serve patients. As long as we have the patients’ best interest at heart, we’re willing to break conventional practices and take risks to adopt new technologies. We’re just doctors, so what is the relevance of reputation? As long as it benefits the patient, we will give it our best shot. Therefore, we have no remorse and we can stand any investigation. We believe that the people know better." Zhang Lin’s speech was full of rhythm, passion, and emotion.

Xu Zhiliang, who was standing next to him, felt a chill run down his spine. He didn’t expect Teacher Zhang to render everyone speechless with his masterful use of rhetoric.

Especially the last sentence, which made everyone respect him even more. The younger students all looked towards him. Teacher Zhang, my idol! How noble!

"Ah, if others misunderstand us, we don’t mind. However, as our colleagues, you should not misunderstand us. If even our comrades cannot understand us and treat us this way, it makes us feel very lonely and sad." Zhang Lin exclaimed, seemingly on the verge of tears.

Enough, any more acting would be over the top!

Yang Ping watched Zhang Lin’s performance, and was stunned to see him genuinely squeezing out two tears.

"Teacher Zhang’s words are absolutely correct, absolutely correct!" Director Zhao applauded first. Dean Sun was in an awkward predicament whether to follow suit or not.

Dean Sun felt pained. This was not the time to engage in a battle of wits. Proceeding in this manner would almost put them at odds with the investigation team. The investigation team represented authority. When dealing with such investigations, regardless of whether the other party is right or wrong, they must believe the investigation team is always correct. They must not question, counter-question or argue. Only then will they get a pass. But the current situation wasn’t looking so much in their favor.

"Since we’re on the topic of surgical results, I might as well say a few words. Are you sure these photos are accurate? Even in Beijing or Shanghai, not to mention the United States, no one could achieve such results for this kind of patient. Aren’t these photos fabricated?" Professor Wang didn’t hold back either. There was no need for euphemisms now.

Years ago, Professor Wang’s grandfather was a top official in the provincial health system and his father was the head of their hospital. His uncle was also a key member of the health system and his cousins held important positions in the same system. Within his province, who dared to offend him? Wherever he went, everyone humored him, complimented him, and flattered him. Moreover, he was about to become vice president. Today, as an expert visiting Sanbo Hospital, he didn’t get the respect he expected. Could he swallow this?

"Don’t think everyone resorts to academic fraud. We never make false operations. Whether the photo is fake or not, won’t the truth be clear when we see the patient?" Zhang Lin wiped away his tears, showing no courtesy, his tone changed completely.

He felt that Song Zimo was being too courteous. Dealing with this sort of person needed no pleasantries, and a direct approach was needed. This person was trying to attain a sense of superiority but unfortunately, he was in the wrong place. The Comprehensive Surgery Department was not a place tolerating such nonsense.

With Teacher Zhang around, no one dares to get out of line. Even if you are Professor Wang just look at Takahashi, Robert, August - these international experts; everyone is respectful and obedient.

"What do you mean?" Professor Wang’s face instantly changed.

Because the academic accomplishments that have propelled Professor Wang’s career aren’t his own. Regardless they were claimed or purchased, most are fraudulent. He had advanced from a vocational degree to a bachelor’s degree and onto a master’s degree with many shady dealings along the way.

Others may not know, but he is fully aware that he’s a mediocre student disguised as a top student. Over time, he started believing that he’s indeed a top student.

Zhang Lin’s words seemed to hit a nerve, rendering him extremely sensitive.

In fact, Zhang Lin didn’t know the specifics. Except for the people in his own hospital, everyone outside thought he was a genuine top student.

"You illegally hired Doctor Ivan for medical consultations and surgeries. Is this a fact?" Professor Wang could barely contain his anger.

Zhang Lin didn’t back down: "Does your hospital not carry out such practices? By your logic, every time you perform a flying knife surgery elsewhere, it’s illegal practice. Are all the places where you performed flying knife surgeries your practicing locations? Have you followed standard fees? Is it true you only charge two hundred for a flying knife surgery? Any issue needs to be considered in its actual context, detached from actual situations it becomes meaningless, and double standards are even more foolish."
