Jin Country Medical Science Academy Fuwai Hospital.

Scholar Jiang Keji sought out the head of the First Ward of the Vascular Surgery Center, Director He Guangzong.

Fuwai’s Vascular Surgery Center was comprised of three wards and three teams.

Among them, He Guangzong was the director of the First Ward.

Ren Anyi, the mentor of Hu Zhipeng who had participated in the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition, was the director of the Third Ward.

The Vascular Surgery Center at Fuwai was the hospital’s most prestigious center in the field of cardiac surgery, known for its distinct professional specialization and esteemed reputation.

Ever since pioneering aortic surgery in the country back in 1958, the center had, through the diligent exploration and relentless pursuit of several generations, long since become the undisputed leader in the field of aortic surgery in Jin Country.

It was the largest center for aortic surgery and endovascular minimally invasive treatment in the nation and one of the largest in the world, achieving an advanced international standard in both the quantity and quality of its procedures.

Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, the entire Vascular Surgery Center had begun researching Hybrid Technology, focusing on combining traditional surgical techniques with endovascular minimally invasive treatments.

Across the three wards, there were a total of nine chief physicians, ten associate chief physicians, and dozens of attending physicians and residents. Eighty percent of them held doctoral degrees.

The Vascular Surgery Center occupied three inpatient floors in Fuwai Hospital’s new, state-of-the-art inpatient building, with 135 general ward beds, 20 post-operative recovery beds, and three Hybrid Technology operating rooms—the first of their kind in the world.

The center boasted formidable technical expertise and world-class facilities, capable of performing a wide variety of cardiovascular surgeries for conditions such as aortic diseases, peripheral vascular diseases, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.

It was a national leader, especially in the treatment of aortic diseases using traditional surgery, endovascular minimally invasive techniques, and Hybrid Technology.

The center had also invested significant resources into the research project "A Study on the Application of Hybrid Technology in Cardiovascular Surgery."

Each of the three wards had assigned several of their doctors to join this research group.

He Guangzong was the leader of this research group.

Among the three ward directors, He Guangzong was the most unique.

In addition to his work in the Vascular Surgery Center, He Guangzong frequently collaborated with the emergency surgery department, participating in the diagnosis and treatment of various difficult and complex emergency cardiac cases.

In terms of clinical skill, experience, and the sheer volume of surgeries performed, He Guangzong was the best in the entire Vascular Surgery Center.

He Guangzong was also a recipient of the Golden Blade Award, the highest honor in national cardiothoracic surgery.

As a ward director at Fuwai, Director He’s work was incredibly demanding.

His standards for his team were also the highest in the entire Vascular Surgery Center.

Only the elite of the elite, top cardiac surgeons with sufficient experience and expertise, were qualified to join his ward.

The First Ward had always been known as the "Blade’s Edge" of the Vascular Surgery Center.

The First Ward hadn’t even participated in the recent national cardiothoracic surgery competition. The doctors under He Guangzong were already too swamped with clinical surgeries to have the time or inclination to enter a skills competition.

In the end, the one who competed was Hu Zhipeng, a student of Director Ren Anyi from the Third Ward.

It wasn’t that Director He looked down on the national cardiothoracic surgery competition with disdain; he simply didn’t care much for it.

He was more concerned with practical clinical application—truly treating patients and saving lives.

So, when Scholar Jiang approached He Guangzong about having Wu Ting study under him, He Guangzong refused outright.

The current training camp was divided into two parts.

Every morning, the twelve participants would attend group lectures covering various theoretical concepts in cardiothoracic surgery, as well as reviews of classic cases and surgical recordings.

The afternoons were for clinical practice. They would follow their respective mentors, participate in all stages of diagnosis and treatment, and, if they were lucky, even get the chance to assist with parts of a surgical procedure.

Scholar Jiang held Wu Ting in very high regard, which was why he had specifically sought out He Guangzong, hoping he would take Wu Ting under his wing.

However, He Guangzong’s first reaction was to refuse.

"Scholar Jiang, I don’t have time to mentor such a green student."

"If he wants to follow me, let him train under Ren Anyi until he’s ready, then he can come to the First Ward. Once he passes Ren Anyi’s test, I’ll consider taking him."

"Dean, you know the doctors in my First Ward have been honed over many years. They possess a wealth of experience, both clinical and surgical. We are the ’Blade’s Edge’ of the Vascular Surgery Center!"

"It’s hardly appropriate for you to place a training camp participant in our ward, is it?"

Seeing He Guangzong’s attitude, Scholar Jiang patiently explained, detailing Wu Ting’s performance at the National Cardiothoracic Surgery Skills Competition.

When he heard that Wu Ting was able to refine, summarize, and organize the principles of Hybrid Technology, He Guangzong was somewhat surprised, and his impression of the young man improved slightly.

"I’m preparing to specially cultivate him and Hu Zhipeng. This isn’t just about the fifteen-day training camp."

"I’m planning to invite Wu Ting for a period of advanced study, and I’ve also invited both him and Hu Zhipeng to serve as deputy leaders for the Hybrid Technology research project."

"I won’t say any more. I hope you will train him well. Wu Ting is a rare talent."

After hearing this, He Guangzong grew pensive.

"Dean, I agree. But during the training camp, let him go to Ren Anyi’s side first. He needs to properly familiarize himself with the people and facilities at our Vascular Surgery Center."

"When he comes for his official advanced study, I will mentor him personally."

He Guangzong had just that sort of foul temper, but his clinical skills were as formidable as his personality.

"Dean, I have to get to a surgical consultation. I’ll be going now."

And with that, He Guangzong left.

Watching He Guangzong go, Scholar Jiang felt a bit helpless. He Guangzong was, indeed, one of his hospital’s ace surgeons.

He just had a foul temper and a stubborn personality. But what could you do? The man’s skill was unparalleled, and he truly loved the medical profession.

He Guangzong came from a prominent family compound; several of the childhood friends he grew up with now held high-ranking positions. As long as it wasn’t a matter of principle, there was little Scholar Jiang could do about him.

Scholar Jiang shook his head. ’Well then, I’ll just have Ren Anyi mentor Wu Ting.’

In any case, with Wu Ting’s talent, Scholar Jiang wasn’t the least bit worried that a pearl would be hidden by dust.

’I just hope He Guangzong doesn’t end up regretting today’s decision and kicking himself for it later.’

Scholar Jiang’s judgment of character was, after all, ruthlessly sharp.

When Ren Anyi received Scholar Jiang’s call and heard that Wu Ting would be following him, he was more than satisfied.

He hadn’t held out much hope, assuming Scholar Jiang would surely save a prodigy as brilliant as Wu Ting for He Guangzong.

He never expected Wu Ting to be assigned to his ward. Ren Anyi was already prepared to do everything he could to keep him.

’After the training camp, I’ll recruit Wu Ting into my ward,’ he thought. ’This young man has a boundless future.’
