Chapter 2319: Tossing Out a Question
Zhang Desheng’s subsequent explanation affirmed her suspicion: "Teacher Cao Zhao is hailed as one of the four kings of the champion group here."
Several classmates glanced at him with surprise: One of the intelligence quartet in the class dared to touch the Devil Teacher’s butt in such a short time?
"It’s no secret." Zhang Desheng waved his hand, "Director Li has mentioned to us that Teacher Cao is the champion of the 4x100-meter relay."
"You mean—"
"The team of four, since their student days, has dominated this event, winning the championship every time they participate, earning them the nickname ’The Four Kings of the Champion Group.’ They are classmates and good friends. One of them is the Teacher Wu we met this morning. The other two are one from pediatric urology and one from pediatric orthopedics."
The medical school is no different from other universities; it holds an annual school sports meet and occasionally sends a team to participate in other social sports events. After medical students graduate and start working, besides working in hospitals, many clinical teachers are also hired as lecturers by medical schools. These sports champions, who were once a trend at the school, would thus join the faculty sports team.
Don’t underestimate the bosses in the clinical field; each of them understands medicine and knows how to maintain their physical superiority. Age doesn’t matter as long as they’re willing; they can still outrun and outperform the young ones when they return to school for races and high jumps.
"We might see the teachers running in April."
Oh, everyone understood: The sports meet at Guodu Medical University is held in April during the spring.
"What about Guoxie?" Wei Shangquan asked. It turns out their class didn’t participate in the medical school’s sports meet. The reason is simple: their class size is too small, so they were combined with other departments to form one unit for the sports meet. Other departments decided they were just a bunch of bookworms, so they didn’t bother to send someone on their behalf. Just as well, their class was so special that they were always busy catching up with the curriculum and couldn’t spare the time for anything else.
Did the Guoxie teachers participate in the school’s sports meet? Not much was heard of. Perhaps the teachers at Guoxie felt that returning to school to put pressure on the juniors wasn’t good once they started working.
Zhang Desheng, the gossip king, said, "The Guoxie faculty team is made up of newly graduated students who have just joined the hospital. If we stayed at Guoxie, we might have to participate in the sports meet in our first year."
"You mean, that Song Xueling—"
"They said they were sending him to participate in the men’s 1000-meter middle-distance race."
Doctor Song is going to run in the 1000 meters race. Everyone visualized in their minds. Zhao Zhaowei laughed out loud, making a quacking sound like a duck biting on its beak: "His slow-paced turtle run for 1000 meters will definitely be leisurely at the bottom. He’s not concerned about being first."
Perhaps Zhao Zhaowei guessed right. Besides running like mad to save lives, Doctor Song would prefer to lie flat and play dead if asked to run at other times.
"Pediatric teachers are quite playful. They might personally participate in the sports meet." Zhang Desheng shared his feeling.
The other classmates deeply agreed. Although they had only been around for half a day, the teachers here called them kids and played them around in circles.
"So, who do you think is the most playful teacher?" Zhang Desheng suddenly threw a quiz question to the classmates present.
This—Immortal Brother?
Cao Zhao was sitting on the swivel chair behind his desk, spinning like a child playing in an amusement park.
Across the desk, Wu Manzhong was talking to his younger brother on the phone: "Cao Yong, we told her she could call Cao Zhao her second brother."
Cao Yong: ==? What’s this matchmaker popping up from?
