Chapter 689: Professor Yang Apologizes for the Unfair Treatment
Professor Tang retracted his gaze when he realized that he was not going to receive an answer. Taking a folder from his desk, he said, “At her current level, there’s no need for her to observe the surgery.”
Senior Feng opened his mouth to say something in Gu Mang’s defence, but when he saw the professor’s countenance, he swallowed his words.
…
At Capital University Hospital.
Professor Tang showed up at the surgery conference room with the five students. When Yang Tianming and the others entered the room and noticed that Gu Mang was absent, he asked, “Professor Tang, where’s Gu Mang?”
“She wouldn’t understand what’s going on even if she were here with us,” answered Professor Tang, causing Yang Tianming to frown slightly. Looking at the person in charge of the hospital, he said, “We can start the meeting now.”
…
It was nine in the evening when Gu Mang left the testing room. The students could be heard chattering as they left to eat dinner at the canteen before returning to their labs to continue working on their experiments. When they saw Gu Mang, however, they stopped talking to look in her direction.
She was tall and slender in her white lab coat and she walked nonchalantly with her hands in her pocket, and her eyes lowered. Her phone vibrated suddenly. She took her phone out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID. She pushed open the door to the lab as she answered the call and said politely, “Professor Yang.”
It was pitch-black in the lab, so she reached out her hand to flip the light switch. She heard Yang Tianming ask, “Where are you right now, Gu Mang?”
“At my lab.”
“I’ll meet you in front of the lab building in ten minutes,” he told her.
She hummed in assent, not bothering to ask him why he wanted to meet her. After ending the call, she slung her black backpack over her shoulders, put on her cap, and left the lab.
When Yang Tianming arrived, Gu Mang was sitting on the bench in front of the lab building with a leg across her knee as she played a game on her phone. He called out to her. “Gu Mang.”
When she looked up and saw him, she stood up and put her phone in her pocket. “Professor Yang.”
As Yang Tianming looked at her bright, black eyes, he said rather guiltily, “I’m really sorry about today. I failed to make proper arrangements.”
When she first entered the university, he had promised to give her the best resources and yet Professor Tang had not let her join them in watching the surgery earlier.
Hearing that, Gu Mang raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “About what?”
He was stunned to hear the question. “Don’t you know that there was a seventh-generation robot surgery at the Capital University Hospital this afternoon?”
Gu Mang figured out what had happened when she heard that. Professor Tang was an expert in the field of robotic surgery. A seventh-generation surgical robot, which had been successfully developed in May, was currently in clinical trials. As appointed by the medical association, Capital University Hospital was the first hospital to use such a sophisticated robot. The higher ups valued this matter a lot, so Professor Tang supervised each surgery. Occasionally, he would take the students along with him. Yang Tianming’s apology could only mean that Professor Tang had brought the other students to watch the surgery earlier without her.
“Don’t worry, you can come with me next time,” said Yang Tianming reassuringly.
There were no emotions on Gu Mang’s face as she said, “We’ll see how.”
Yang Tianming knew that her medical skills surpassed those of the professors at Capital University since she was the one who had operated on Matriarch Lu. She had enrolled in Capital University’s medical school out of sheer interest in medical AI so he was afraid that she would not want to join the medical association if she got unhappy over this matter. There would be no one to take over the medical association if that happened. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. His throat tightened as he asked, “You won’t quit the traditional chinese medicine major and join the medical association because of this, right?”
When she did not respond, he got even more flustered. He assured her, “Don’t worry. From now onwards, I’ll make preparations for you to attend all the robot led surgeries and academic summits.”
