Chapter 916: Chapter 798: Only Saw the Patient Once_3

Although he grew up in the United States and had always communicated in English, he had also attended Chinese language training classes since childhood. While not very fluent, he was competent, and recently he had specifically practiced spoken Chinese at the language training classes, improving quickly, and now he was able to speak very fluently.

He had reserved a room at the Sanbo Hotel and had just arrived at the Department of Comprehensive Surgery, where he happened to run into Director Xin, Director Chen, and Academician Wang.

Li Zehui was an internationally renowned cardiac surgery expert who often lectured at Fuwai Anzhen; they couldn’t possibly not recognize him, and they were very familiar.

"Professor Li?"

With a keen eye, Xin Weicong was the first to spot Professor Li Zehui.

On closer inspection, indeed, it was Professor Li Zehui from the Cleveland Medical Center, unmistakably.

The world is truly small to have an encounter like this here.

"What an honor---"

Professor Li shook hands with everyone, one by one. It turned out that Professor Li also spoke English when he was in China, but now he spoke Chinese fluently, without mixing in a single English word.

"What brings you here?" Director Xin Weicong asked in surprise.

Without beating around the bush, Professor Li said, "I’m here to study a surgery, there is a very special case here, the first of its kind in the world."

He was referring to Mai Zijing, as their goal turned out to be the same.

"You’re familiar with Professor Yang as well? The world really is small, running into Professor Li right here," Director Xin Weicong said with a bit of surprise.

Professor Li, with his Western way of thinking, simply stated, "Professor Yang Ping is my mentor, of course we know each other well."

Yang Ping was his mentor?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, especially Elderly Academician Wang who thought he might have misheard.

"He is your mentor?" Professor Xin Weicong couldn’t believe it.

Professor Li nodded, "Yes, Professor Yang is my mentor. I often receive guidance on surgeries from him and have benefited immensely. He should still be at the operating table right now."

The Cleveland Medical Center is considered a temple in the world of cardiac specialties. Professor Li and Dodge were considered rising stars at Cleveland. The fact that Professor Li was actually a student of Yang Ping was hard for people to accept, as the esteemed status of Cleveland suddenly seemed to crumble in the minds of the professors present.

The fact that the youthful Yang Ping was indeed the mentor to forty-something Li Zehui seemed to mess with the generational order, and Elderly Academician Wang shook his head inwardly.

He observed secretly that Li Zehui, a top medical doctor from around the world, had also come alone to Sanbo Hospital, without anyone to receive him, casually taking a disposable cup to drink water, and he seemed very accustomed to it, just like a student, completely lacking the air of a big-name Professor he had when lecturing at Fuwai.

At that moment, Yang Ping finished the surgery and returned to the ward, finding so many doctors waiting for him.

"Professor Yang, let me introduce everyone, this is our Elderly Academician Wang---"

"Welcome to guide our work!" Yang Ping shook hands.

Who dares to guide you? Song Zimo muttered to himself.

Upon seeing Li Zehui, Li Zehui immediately grasped Yang Ping’s hand excitedly, "Professor, you’re still so handsome. It’s been several months since we’ve seen each other. Dodge almost cried when his visa got blocked."

Everyone sat down, and naturally, there was no idle chatter as they discussed the case.

Academician Wang asked, "Professor Yang, when do you plan to schedule the surgery?"

Yang Ping casually replied, "Tomorrow, it’s set for the first slot tomorrow."

"You’ve seen the patient, right?"

"I have."

Academician Wang couldn’t very well say that it wasn’t good that Yang Ping had only seen the patient once since Yang Ping wasn’t his student, and he knew that inwardly; besides, this wasn’t Fuwai.

"Professor Yang, maybe you should see the patient a few more times, it might be better to be cautious with this case," Academician Wang advised.

Yang Ping was unconcerned, "I will see the patient again before the surgery, there is no big issue, we can proceed with scheduling the surgery as normal."
