Chapter 1046: Chapter 1048: Elected as a Council mber Chapter 1046: Chapter 1048: Elected as a Council mber The conference officially began!
In the morning of the first day, staff from the World Health Organization and the United Nations arrived, and the head of the executive committee spoke, announcing the establishnt of the World Society of Digestive Surgery!
This was a grand celebration for the digestive surgery community!
The formation of this organization signified the level of attention paid to digestive surgery, as well as indicating the future influx of more funds and energy into this field.
After the establishnt of a professional society, there often cos a period of explosive growth.
Not everyone was obsessed with the title of president. Among the nine mbers of the preparation group, Jim Lawrence was the most determined, whereas Hubert had the highest popularity, and Hamilton was the most low-profile, but he represented the academicians.
The other six mbers were relatively indifferent; in their view, whoever beca the president did not matter much, what was most important was the developnt of digestive surgery!
After the statent by the World Health Organization, the conference was formally announced as established!
Everyone cheered.
This ant that digestive surgery had officially beco an international academic organization.
Their efforts had not been in vain.
Afterward, the leader, Hubert, took to the stage, and Chen Cang also saw this nearly sixty-year-old Hubert.
He was very thin and tall, wearing a sowhat ill-fitting black suit, with glasses that reflected his intelligent gaze. Standing on the stage, he was very excited.
“I am very excited, our society has been established!”
“We’ve worked for many years, always preparing and researching, from the formation of the planning group to now, we have only nine people left, thank you for your support, thank you!”
Hubert was excited, yet he had no smile on his face.
After the introduction of the conference’s charter was completed, it was ti for the mont everyone cared about the most.
Nominations for the standing committee mbers!
There seed to be many—sixty standing committee mbers—but when distributed among every country, the number was not that large, and so countries did not even have a single standing committee mber.
Nomination began, with Hubert being the first to start the election process. He needed to introduce his nominated mbers, and then voting comnced.
The entire first row of the venue was composed of judges and voters, including the other eight mbers of the preparation group, five mbers from the World Health Organization, and five representatives from universities and academic journals.
The number of standing committee mbers even directly affected the next round of elections.
As the standing committee mbers would vote for the president, secretary-general, and vice-presidents, the more standing committee mbers supported soone, the greater their chances.
Considering this, Sun Guangyu and the others couldn’t help but fall silent.
This ant that the difficulty of Chen Cang’s election as president had increased considerably.
Everyone could not help but sigh, feeling a mixture of helplessness.
After the nominations began, excitent filled the room; everyone was looking forward to the nominations.
Whether or not the nomination was successful, just being entered as a nominee was a trendous honor.
“Martha-Seymour, 51 years old…”
“Trudeau-John…”
In the quiet hall, after each na was called out, an introduction appeared on the big screen. However, the nominators still had to provide an introduction, explaining their reasons for nomination.
All had made significant contributions to the field of digestive surgery.
Each mber of the preparation group could nominate ten people. After nominating nine, Hubert paused and glanced at the last na before announcing loudly:
“Chen Cang, from China, 28 years old!”
As this na was called out, an area of the audience erupted into excitent.
Who would have expected Hubert to nominate Chen Cang? It was quite surprising.
Quickly, Hubert began to introduce Chen Cang: “He is a rising star in the field of digestive surgery, even a genius. At 28 years old, he has published papers with an impact factor of 188, he has innovatively used the small incision appendectomy, improving the laparoscopic surgery incisions… He is a gifted young man!
His ability to accept new things is exceptional, his self-authored ‘Laparoscopic Use Techniques and Guide’ has been translated into 32 countries, and is also the laparoscopic use guide for the Mayo dical Center. He has a unique perspective and ideas on gastrointestinal reconstruction and is an extraordinary talent!”
“Reason for nomination: young, capable, genius, and a presidential candidate!”
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire venue was shocked!
Hubert actually nad Chen Cang as a presidential candidate?
In that mont, everyone’s expressions changed.
Who could have anticipated that the extrely popular Hubert would nominate Chen Cang in this manner? Was this… Hubert supporting Chen Cang?
Was he even starting to help Chen Cang campaign?
Instantly, the entire hall began to buzz with discussion.
Nobody had anticipated such an explosive mont at the start of the conference.
In the first row, Jim Lawrence’s expression changed, and he stared intensely at Hubert, like a vulture!
He had made ample preparations, but now he faced this unexpected situation!
But… did you think that was enough?
Jim Lawrence took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.
At this mont, many people from the China region were excited. Hubert was a respected senior with high popularity, he had even initially advocated for the establishnt of the digestive surgery society.
And now, Chen Cang had been nominated by him, and as a presidential candidate at that!
That was significant!
It was even possible to gain so of Hubert’s support.
Everyone couldn’t help but get excited, with the previous feeling of loss dissipating like smoke, and a sense of anticipation taking its place.
But Chen Cang was stunned; he looked at Hubert, sowhat dumbfounded, and also sowhat grateful.
To nominate Chen Cang for president in such an event, in this manner, could it be that Hubert was stepping down?
Not only did Chen Cang think so, many of Hubert’s supporters also frowned—what exactly did this nomination of Chen Cang as a presidential candidate an?
Did Hubert no longer want to be president?
He had worked so hard for many years…
Everyone watched the tall, thin man in silence.
During the subsequent nominations, Sun Guangyu, Huang Hao, Wei Jiaying, and Yang Baolu were successively nominated by Li Zhengjin from the Singapore General Hospital and Nobi Shinichi from Japan.
Suddenly, the people from the China region were filled with excitent; five nominees were already a considerable number, especially since there were only a total of one hundred people.
Nominations finished just in ti for lunch, and the one hundred nominees were announced, awaiting the afternoon’s voting.
The lunch in the dining hall tasted bland as everyone discussed the afternoon vote—after all, becoming a standing committee mber was a rare honor.
Out of one hundred, sixty would be officially selected. The odds weren’t simply sixty percent; in fact, each individual had a fifty percent chance of being elected or defeated.
At once, everyone grew nervous.
Even Sun Guangyu and the others were incredibly tense.
They silently hoped they could be elected, which would make it easier to support Chen Cang!
