Chapter 97: [97] Senior Brother to the Rescue 2

The nurse was over the moon when she heard him, babbling nonstop, “The person we wanted to invite the most to our wedding was you, Dr. Cao, but you were abroad and couldn’t make it back. I told my husband that we’ll have Dr. Cao over for dinner sometime. We absolutely love the gift you sent us. — Dr. Cao, you’re really rocking that outfit!”

And rock it, he did.

The stylish leather jacket with fleece lining, paired with a deep blue pure cashmere sweater underneath, was like something out of a celebrity’s wardrobe. Back home during winter, people usually wore puffy down jackets or cotton-padded coats that made them look terribly bulky.

So fashionable, damn it, truly fashionable. The nurse’s words had already drawn the attention of a group of medical students standing at the entrance of the dressing room. Upon seeing Handsome Cao’s figure, both male and female medical students had stars in their eyes, radiating fan-level adoration.

After all, modern domestic medicine was highly Westernized. Many medical students held foreign doctors in high esteem, and watching American medical dramas was all the rage. Their ideal self-definition of a doctor was to be just like those in the American shows: skilled in medicine, stylish in dress, and suave.

A doctor like Handsome Cao, if he existed in reality, whether it be medical students, nurses, patients, or their visiting families, wouldn’t they all turn into adoring fans?

...

After greeting the nurse, Cao Yong approached the nurses’ station and asked Junior Huang Zhilei, “What’s up, you called me earlier?”

“Yes, senior brother, it’s like this, the junior sister said there’s a patient—” While Huang Zhilei was reporting the situation, he noticed his senior brother suddenly turned his head.

The moment Xie Wanying’s eyes met Handsome Cao’s, she felt a twinge of nervousness, but out of habit, she smiled politely.

Cao Yong saw the stiffness in the corners of her mouth and couldn’t help but smile. As a doctor, he recognized at a glance that the junior sister had become suddenly nervous upon seeing him. Xie Wanying was somewhat nervous; after not seeing him for several years, she had a feeling that Handsome Cao who had returned this time was likely even more formidable.

“Are you talking about Director Lv’s patient?” Cao Yong was listening attentively to his junior brother’s work report.

At that moment, Xiao Du suddenly received a phone call and handed his mobile phone to Cao Yong, saying, “President Wu is calling you, Dr. Cao.”

Cao Yong took the phone, listening to the instructions from the leader on the other end, “Yes, President Wu, I’ve arrived at our department. Director Zhang’s wife is here in our department, and you’d like me to also have a look at her situation, right? Alright, I’ll check if she’s around.”

“Director Zhang’s wife?” Huang Zhilei repeated, touching his glasses on his nose in surprise: Could it be Director Lv’s female patient?

“Where is she?” asked Cao Yong.

“In the dressings room,” Huang Zhilei answered.

“Come with me,” Cao Yong beckoned.

Huang Zhilei and Xie Wanying immediately followed him. In the meantime, Cao Yong first entered the doctors’ changing room, took off his coat, put on his white lab coat, and attached his doctor’s badge.

The sight of Cao Yong in his white coat caused another stir among the medical students.

“No way, an associate chief physician!”

Everyone in medicine knew how difficult it was to become an associate chief physician; some doctors could never achieve it in their lifetime. For someone in his twenties like Cao Yong to become an associate chief physician, one could count the number on one’s fingers nationwide. Not to mention that he was an associate chief physician in neurosurgery, the pinnacle of surgery.

The medical students gazed at Handsome Cao as if they were looking at someone from their dreams.

After all, upon looking back, there was Director Lv who was in his fifties and held the same title.
