Luo Youcai from the medical affairs department took the initiative to call He Zhiqian, informing him that there were too many applicants and suggesting he remove a few.
He also mentioned that Chen Cang from emergency medicine would also be attending. These spots are valuable; travel to the U.S. for a conference isn't cheap, costing tens of thousands, and the hospital wouldn't allow you to go for nothing.
So, He Zhiqian had no choice but to agree.
Of course, while he held his opinions, he knew it was important to separate work from personal feelings.
His reservation stemmed from the belief that since the specialties differed, attendance might be wasteful. If Chen Cang were specifically in gastroenterology, he would have no objections and would readily endorse his attendance.
He Zhiqian could see clearly that the hospital hoped those who attended would achieve commendable results and possibly earn some committee positions.
