When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chapter 397: Chapter 397: A Misunderstanding!

Zhang Zhixin, Qin Xiang, and Yang Tao were all members of the provincial association of plastic surgeons, with Qin Xiang serving as the chairman and Yang Tao as the vice-chairman—their importance in the circle was quite significant.

However, at this moment, all three were clustering around the woman in her fifties.

The woman was slender, with makeup on her face that obscured her age, dressed in a cheongsam that suited her well, and she appeared amiable.

Gong Daizhen smiled and said to Qin Xiang, Zhang Zhixin, and the others, “The development of plastic surgery in An Yang is really good. Director Zhang, your plastic surgery hospital looks quite impressive.”

Zhang Zhixin also smiled and said, “It’s also because of the investment from the owner, I’m just a director.”

Gong Daizhen made a humming sound and walked inside. After surveying the first floor’s configuration and decoration, she immediately smiled, “Hmm, a lot of effort has been put into it, giving people the feeling of luxury and reliability on sight.”

Luxury and reliability might seem incongruous when put together.

But in the world of plastic surgery, they were indeed very appropriate.

There was indeed a connection between luxury and reliability.

Looking thoughtful, Gong Daizhen joked with Zhang Zhixin, “Director Zhang, I’ve heard that Chen Cang has a surgery scheduled for today. I’ve come a long way just to see the operation; you won’t refuse me, will you?”

Zhang Zhixin gave a sheepish smile, “Refuse? Impossible! But… today, due to special circumstances, the surgery has been postponed, and I am about to call Chen to come down.”

As he was reaching for the phone to make a call,

The elevator opened, and Chen Cang and Xu Rou walked over towards them in an open and straightforward manner.

Upon seeing Chen Cang, Gong Daizhen couldn’t help but size him up. The young man really was young and looked clean and capable, exuding a sense of reliability. Was this the young man in question?

At this moment, Gong Daizhen became curious.

Seeing this, Qin Xiang quickly approached, “Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. This is our national vice president of the association of plastic surgeons, President Gong.”

Chen Cang smiled and said evenly, without modesty or arrogance, “President Gong, hello, I’ve long admired you.”

Gong Daizhen gave a slight smile, “Dr. Chen Cang, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you and specially came here for an exchange of knowledge.”

“I was fortunate to see one of your patients after their Long Bear procedure, and to be honest, I was quite stunned. I’ve wanted to exchange ideas with you for a long time, I just haven’t had the time. As it happens, it’s the weekend, so I made a special trip from the capital.

In our line of work, it’s really the young people’s world. Even an old woman like me comes here to exchange knowledge and improve together!”

Gong Daizhen, in her late fifties, had just had a birthday recently, and a group of her students had gone to congratulate her.

A group of people from the plastic surgery field had gathered and naturally talked about industry matters—in the midst of the conversation, they mentioned how a young doctor in An Yang charged a million for a breast augmentation procedure, which took Gong Daizhen by surprise.

To command such a price with the general public, one must have some real skills.

Of course, it could also just be hype.

However, as gossip for leisurely chats, this sort of news is something Gong Daizhen, a seasoned industry veteran, wouldn’t take much interest in.

And she certainly didn’t need to come to check it out in person!

But just a few days later, she heard Chen Cang’s name again, and even saw one of his surgical successes. Upon seeing it, Gong Daizhen became very interested in Chen Cang!

Because this patient had sought her out a few months earlier, but due to the high difficulty, she had asked the patient to think it over.

The special nature of the case left an impression on Gong Daizhen, but she did not expect such a comparison so soon, which genuinely surprised her. It was truly stunning!

The significance behind Gong Daizhen feeling stunned was worth pondering.

At that moment, Gong Daizhen felt that the million was indeed well spent!

It was then that Gong Daizhen suddenly had the desire to see Chen Cang’s surgery.

…

As for the nitpicking Zhang Zhixin talked about, Gong Daizhen knew nothing—had she known, she’d probably look innocent? After all, as an old industry leader, Gong Daizhen had no need to scrutinize or nitpick Chen Cang’s work. Besides, how much Chen Cang charged had nothing to do with her.

Furthermore, nitpicking at a junior would only tarnish her own reputation, making her the subject of mockery for disrespecting her age.

Gong Daizhen was genuinely interested in Chen Cang!

Of course, Zhang Zhixin’s misunderstanding arose because one of Gong Daizhen’s students was An Jing,

one of the chief surgeons at Annie’s plastic surgery institution.

It is true what they say, professionals can be the harshest critics.

And as the head of the hospital, Zhang Zhixin had many concerns and was accustomed to taking precautions against potential problems, fearing that this was some kind of plot.

He was especially protective of Chen Cang, afraid that people might nitpick and find fault in him, which would not be good for Chen Cang’s development.

That’s why he was so cautious!

But that’s how misunderstandings arise.

Thus, Chen Cang perceived the elderly lady as a feigned enemy.

However, Chen Cang heard Gong Daizhen speak politely, and her behavior was courteous—nothing like someone who was there to find fault.

After all, the “old lady” seemed quite amiable and didn’t make things difficult when speaking.

Chen Cang shook his head. Why overthink it? Wasn’t it just a matter of performing a few surgeries?n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With that thought, he suddenly smiled and said, “President Gong’s visit is quite timely, as there are precisely five surgeries scheduled for today. You’ll be able to watch to your heart’s content.”

Zhang Zhixin kept giving Chen Cang meaningful glances, while Qin Xiang and Yang Tao were also very curious. Could it be… that President Gong was genuinely here to exchange knowledge and specifically to watch Chen Cang’s surgery?

Could Chen Cang’s Long Bear surgeries be that outstanding?

The two of them knew that Chen Cang was talented in design, but they had never actually witnessed his Long Bear surgeries.

After all, other patients wouldn’t just casually let them observe!

So they were curious too, and today seemed like the perfect opportunity to witness Chen Cang perform surgery—indeed, it was a good choice.

Chen Cang gave Zhang Zhixin a look, signaling that there was no issue.

He asked Xu Rou to entertain the three guests and let them rest a while, as he made arrangements for the surgery.

Then he entered the office with Zhang Zhixin.

As soon as they entered, Zhang Zhixin glared at Chen Cang, “Chen, have you lost your mind?”

Chen Cang smiled, “What’s got you so nervous? Don’t you trust me?”

Zhang Zhixin frowned, “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but… it feels like she’s here to nitpick!”

Chen Cang nodded, “Hmm, then we’ll just have to make sure she doesn’t find any faults. Won’t it be fine if we convince President Gong wholeheartedly?”

At this point, Chen Cang began to see it as an opportunity—getting the approval of President Gong could elevate his status within the industry all the faster.

After all, in the domestic plastic surgery association, public hospitals with dermatology and plastic surgery departments held the highest esteem. Private hospitals might make money, but their standing in the industry and prestige within circles were limited.

This was the reason why Yang Tao was a vice-chairman while Zhang Zhixin was merely a member.

To pursue a high-end path, one still needed the official route.

And now, here was the chance.

Upon hearing Chen Cang’s words, Zhang Zhixin was momentarily stunned. Not let her find faults? Convince President Gong wholeheartedly?

How bold of heart one had to be to utter such words!

But then, seeing Chen Cang’s serene expression, not showing the slightest hint of panic, Zhang Zhixin couldn’t help but shake his head—this guy, really…

Well!

Let it be!

Let it be!

Resigned to the situation, Zhang Zhixin said to the head nurse, “Head nurse, prepare for the surgery.”

The head nurse nodded and stood up to begin preparations.

Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang, at a loss for words, and after a long pause, could only pat Chen Cang’s arm, “Good luck!”

Chen Cang nodded!
