Chapter 2422: Vigilance
Doctor Cheng brought something to his superior in the morning, only to find that his boss’s expression this morning was more serious than usual.
"Teacher Cao." Doctor Cheng Yuchen was faintly worried, afraid that something had gone wrong with the surgery performed by the young people last night.
Cao Zhao, upon hearing this, glanced back at him: Could it be that you also know someone was coming to poach people last night?
Doctor Cheng Yuchen was confused.
"Teacher." Xie Wanying and Wei Shangquan walked into the office.
Cao Zhao looked at the two of them, thought of last night’s events, and then thought of the scene his eyes had caught this morning. That woman was reckless, daring to abduct the "kids" under his care first thing in the morning on his turf.
"Have you eaten?"
Initially, without any suspicion, Xie Wanying and Student Wei thought the teacher was concerned about them and replied honestly: "Yes, teacher."
"Where did you eat?"
The tone and words of the Immortal Brother made Student Xie and Student Wei suddenly wake up.
"Who took you to breakfast?" Before they could come up with an excuse, Cao Zhao asked gently. No need to be nervous, hurry up and confess, leniency for honesty.
Pretending not to be nervous was definitely a lie. Xie Wanying and Student Wei were both racking their brains on how to explain.
"Who did you two go to eat with?" Seeing their hesitation, Doctor Cheng Yuchen was very surprised. Did these two rascals secretly go off to do something bad behind the teacher’s back?
"No, no." Student Wei shook his hand frantically in denial, "We ran into our Senior Sister, and she treated us to breakfast."
"Why did she treat you to breakfast?"
"Senior Yoo is a very nice person, she’s very kind to juniors," Student Wei explained the whole story to the teacher.
Yeah, right—who’s being fooled? Doctor Cheng Yuchen considered himself less cunning than his boss but knew that was absolutely impossible. There are plenty of newcomers in clinical practice, the seniors are thrifty with their money, it’s not just blown in by the wind, why would they treat juniors to meals all the time?
Finally, he understood why his boss’s expression was so serious. Isn’t this poaching? These kids haven’t finished their internships or graduated yet, so what’s the intention behind enticing them? To make them think they’re so great that they don’t need to study hard anymore?
Doctor Cheng Yuchen couldn’t hide it like his boss and directly warned the two youngsters: "People give you empty promises and you just believe them, has your brain soaked in water?"
The teachers are overthinking it, Senior Yoo isn’t trying to poach them at all. Besides, Senior Yoo is in internal medicine, what’s the use of poaching them? Student Wei muttered in his mind. Student Xie wisely kept her mouth shut.
If internal medicine is pulling people, doesn’t that mean there’s a bigger fish or a big boss hiding behind the scenes who can’t appear openly? The light in Cao Zhao’s eyes wasn’t so divine anymore; these new "kids" of his were increasingly showing they were a bit different.
The office door knocked twice and Hou Duan Sanbao walked in, asking everyone, "Who bought breakfast for me?"
He returned to the office first and saw five or six impressive lunch boxes on the table, with a note stating that the breakfast was bought for him. The lavish breakfast surprised him so much that he had to ask about it.
Student Wei turned to him and said, "Don’t worry, it’s not poisoned for you. Our Senior Sister knew you probably didn’t have breakfast, so she bought it for you."
Slap. Doctor Cheng Yuchen couldn’t hold it any longer and went over to pat the back of this little guy’s head. This was openly poaching people, directly targeting their Guodu scholars.
The time was up. The emergency department also had to transition to their shift. The group walked out of the office, ready to work.
