Chapter 759: Giving Up a Rare Opportunity to Someone Else
Out of all the medical competitions, the only competition that Yang Tianming personally showed interest in was...
The International Physiology Competition.
The competition was highly regarded in the entire medical field. It was jointly held by Jijing Island and the medical journal God Hand.
Gu Mang was not very interested, hence she answered politely, “Professor Yang, I’m not going to participate in the competition.”
Yang Tianming was stunned. He did not expect to be rejected before even saying anything. However, the stakes of this competition were high. Based on Gu Mang’s ability, she could benefit greatly in her future medical career if she ranked well in the competition.
Yang Tianming really did not want Gu Mang to miss this opportunity, so he tried his best to convince her. “Gu Mang, you must not know this competition well enough. Let me tell you about God Hand’s reputation.”
Gu Mang remained silent.
“Elder Yu, Kang Qi, and the rest each occupy a column in the journal. The people who publish their work in this journal are the cream of the crop in the medical field!” While Yang Tianming was speaking, he was slightly agitated. Clearly, God Hand was highly regarded in the medical field.
Gu Mang pressed on the brim of her cap. “Professor Yang...”
The moment she spoke, her tone signified that she had no interest in the conversation.
“Hold on! Let me finish first!” Yang Tianming interrupted her seriously and sternly. “I know that you have a high level of medical expertise. But you just started studying Medical Informatics. You will have to write a thesis when you graduate. If the Chief Editor of God Hand notices you at the competition, it will be beneficial for your academic future.”
Gu Mang remained silent.
“And Jijing Island has the most well-developed medical resources. It’s the best in the world!”
Actually, it was well-developed in other aspects as well.
“Only globally recognized people have the right to receive an invitation to the medical summit held on Jijing Island. I’m talking about people like Elder Yu.”
Gu Mang opened her mouth.
However, before she could say anything, Yang Tianming started talking again. “The International Physiology Competition is planned according to the summit’s scale. The things you can learn there are things you can learn in school. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Only a handful of students can go to Jijing Island and broaden their horizons.”
As he spoke, he seemed to notice that he was getting too agitated.
After calming himself, he said, “So, do you know how rare of an opportunity this is now?”
“Mm.” Gu Mang acknowledged him. She looked carefree. “Sounds like it is quite a rare opportunity.”
Seeing that his persuasion had worked, Yang Tianming could not help but sit up straight and say, “So, are you agreeing?”
“No.” Gu Mang sounded nonchalant. “Let someone else take it.”
Yang Tianming was speechless. He could feel his arteries constricting.
Gu Mang said, “Thank you. Goodbye.”
...
After the call ended, Gu Mang got in an elevator bound for the upper floors.
Because she got held up on the way, everyone’s classes had already ended. Hence, there were not many people left in the building. When she walked into the lab, there were only three people inside. The other people’s items were placed on their respective seats.
Senior Feng saw Gu Mang and greeted her.
The girl acknowledged his presence and placed her books on the table. After taking her laptop out of her backpack, she switched it on and sat on the chair with her legs crossed.
“Junior Gu, this is the operation record from yesterday.” Gu Mang had still not gone into the university hospital’s operating theater, so Senior Feng showed her his operation notes as usual.”
The girl took it. “Thank you, senior.”
“You’re welcome.” Senior Feng smiled. “When are you planning to enter the operating theater with us?”
Of the people in the lab, none of them besides Gu Mang had ever rejected the chance to enter the operating theater and learn.
Professor Tang had explained that Gu Mang was delaying entering the operating theater because she felt that she was still not familiar with a few procedures.
Another senior spun the chair around and faced Gu Mang. “Junior, actually you can join us in the operating theater while practising your surgical procedures.”
“Yeah, junior. Any experience we can get would be useful to us. You won’t lose out.”
Gu Mang said concisely, “I’ll wait for a while more.”
They had been interacting with Gu Mang for the past two months, so they knew her quite well. They knew that she was a person who always stuck by her own opinions.
Hence, they stopped trying to convince her.
“Oh right, junior.” One of the seniors seemed to have thought of something. He turned toward her. “You are going to join the International Physiology Competition’s training programme very soon, aren’t you?”
Usually there was a one-week training programme before the competition.
Gu Mang answered, “About that... I’m not participating.”
Hearing this, the three seniors were shocked.
They did not ask Gu Mang whether she was participating in the competition. Instead, they asked Gu Mang when she was going to join the training programme. This meant that they thought Gu Mang would surely participate in the competition.
Who knew they would hear that answer from her?!
A senior paused for a moment before asking, “What do you mean you are not participating?” The school didn’t choose you?”
After hearing this, someone denied it. “Impossible! Junior scored full marks for everything in the traditional chinese medicine major. The school’s administration is crazy if they don’t send her to the competition!”
Even though other team members from overseas universities might be more formidable than this big boss, she could still hope to get a favorable ranking if she went.
