Chapter 1352: Chapter 1355: Shortcut… Shortcut!
At noon the next day, Chen Cang and his group ca out from the conference venue.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated!
In the morning, the main task was to adjust the conference procedures and speech arrangents.
At noon, the president of the association invited Chen Cang’s group to have lunch together.
The president of the Arican Association for Thoracic Surgery is surprisingly an extraordinary woman nad Sabrina from the Cleveland dical Center.
Cleveland dical Center is ranked number one in the world for its cardiovascular and cardiothoracic specialties.
Besides Sabrina, there’s also the renowned director Rehn.
The dining place was a Chinese restaurant in Manhattan, very considerate of Chen Cang and his group’s preferences.
This made everyone have a good impression of this exquisitely dressed woman in her fifties.
“Professor Chen, I’m really pleased with your joining! I’m very fortunate to have outstanding elites like you appear at the 100th AATS annual eting.”
Sabrina really gave Chen Cang and the others plenty of face.
Perhaps… mainly to Chen Cang.
The table wasn’t big, split into three or four tables, and Xu Ziming didn’t have ti to eat as he began taking photos and posting on social dia.
After lunch, Chen Cang and his group were sent back to the hotel.
However, Xu Ziming suddenly said:
“Haha, Teacher Chen, Wang Tong and the others have arrived, along with mbers of our country’s AATS association and those attending the conference, about 30 people altogether.”
“Should we go take a look?”
Everyone had just eaten, and since they were idle, wouldn’t it be nice to et old friends in a foreign country and show off a little?
Seeing Xu Ziming eager to go, everyone drove straight there.
When they arrived at the hotel, Wang Tong was already waiting downstairs for everyone.
Besides Wang Tong, there were another four or five people standing there.
Wang Tong laughed as he saw Chen Cang’s group.
“Professor Chen, you have arrived as well?”
Chen Cang nodded: “Yes, we arrived yesterday.”
They were all from cardiac surgery, so Xu Ziming, Liu Quan, and the others were quite familiar and started greeting each other.
At this ti, more than twenty Chinese people suddenly erged from the lobby.
Many faces looked familiar.
The hotel lobby was large enough that even though more than twenty people gathered there, it wasn’t crowded, but sowhat spacious.
“Director Xu! You’ve co too.”
“Hello! Hello!”
Chen Cang glanced around and suddenly noticed an old acquaintance!
“Uncle!”
“Eh?” Qin Yueming suddenly turned around and imdiately saw Chen Cang smiling broadly at him.
“Little Chen! How did you get here?” Qin Yueming was indeed surprised, not expecting to see Chen Cang in New York.
Chen Cang smiled and said: “I ca to attend the AATS 2020 Annual eting.”
Qin Yueming was montarily stunned and quite shocked: “You’re an AATS mber? No, who invited you? Director Wang Tong?”
Wang Tong shook his head: “I invited Director He instead.”
Chen Cang chuckled: “I was invited by the association as a guest to attend, and all our group mbers are.”
Although Chen Cang’s words sounded ordinary, to the ears of the others, it was like a thunderbolt!
Invited as a guest by the association?
This is the treatnt of a board mber!
Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the world of cardiac surgery can be invited as guests.
It’s said that the youngest mber of the association is 39 years old, a dical prodigy from the Cleveland dical Center.
Chen Cang… is about to set a new record!
After being invited to attend as a guest, one will surely beco a mber later.
If fortunate in the public vote, with a majority of votes, one might even beco a board mber.
Thus, more than twenty people were literally stunned in place.
Seeing the atmosphere stagnate a bit, Chen Cang thought Qin Yueming might not believe it, so he imdiately said: “Sister Xu, take out our conference badges.”
Xu Aiqing was quite serious, having put everyone’s conference badges in the bag.
After taking out more than a dozen badges and hanging them around their necks, everyone was dumbfounded!
Seeing the yellow badges, they were all stunned!
These are indeed guest badges!
Moreover…
All twelve people are!?
Everyone exchanged glances, finding it hard to accept; since when did the AATS association beco so cheap?
Moreover… guests automatically beco mbers.
That’s thirteen AATS association mbers.
They… They worked hard for a lifeti to be acknowledged and join.
But…
The people in front of them are all young; besides Chen Cang, ng Xi is only 31, right!
Also Xu Aiqing… Liu Quan…
Those non-mber attendees watching this scene felt a pang of bitterness inside!
Dang it, we’ve fought hard for forty to fifty years without becoming mbers, finally getting a chance to attend a conference!
But you all!?
The AATS 2020 Centennial Conference is packed with guests just at a grab!
No, even more than a dozen!
Too darn sour!
Don’t we get a chance to survive?
Not only these non-mbers felt this way, but even Qin Yueming and other mbers were outright flabbergasted.
Too jealous!
Seeing everyone’s bitter and envious expressions.
Amid the envy, there was a faint sense of defeat.
Chen Cang also didn’t know what he said wrong, awkwardly unsure of what to do.
“Um… has everyone eaten yet? How about I take everyone to a Chinese restaurant for a al!”
Upon hearing this, everyone finally eased up a bit.
Qin Yueming couldn’t help but say: “Kid, you’re truly amazing, being a guest of AATS at such a young age, breaking records!”
At this mont, Xu Aiqing walked over to a gentleman: “Teacher, you’re here too!”
Xu Aiqing graduated from Xijing Hospital, and upon seeing her teacher here as well, she hurried forward to say hello.
The gentleman coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed since… he himself was not an AATS mber yet, and his student was already a guest!
Coincidentally!
Beside him, Liu Quan scratched his head: “Teacher, have you eaten yet?”
Liu Quan’s teacher snorted: “Eat what! Kid, what kind of sheer luck did you stumble upon to be a guest invited by the AATS association?”
Suddenly, Liu Quan’s teacher frowned and said: “You wouldn’t have forged your badge, would you?”
Everyone was torn between laughing and crying!
Liu Quan explained: “This is all thanks to Professor Chen. The AATS association personally invited him to attend.”
“And Professor Chen just ntioned us in passing, and they naturally agreed; we’re even going to speak on stage, so we are guests!”
Upon hearing this, everyone was infuriated!
Hear that, does this sound human?
What do you an ‘ntion us in passing,’ and we beco guests!
They worked their fingers to the bone preparing papers, seeking awards, finding people… spending great effort to get an application approved.
And here you guys are!
Actually…
Actually taking shortcuts!
Liu Quan’s teacher, after hearing this, looked at Liu Quan angrily, gazing at him with disdain, saying out of frustration: “Humph! Not striving for progress, every day just thinking of shortcuts!”
“If shortcuts worked… shortcuts… short…”
The bald man stopped speaking midway as he realized, shortcuts sure are useful!
Shortcuts made him give up courage!
He couldn’t find any evidence to counter!
