The meeting room was in complete disarray when an elder academician from 301 – Academician Ding Shizhi had quietly slipped away.
Academician Ding was over eighty years old, a professor in the Cardiac Surgery Department at 301, and he had withdrawn to a secondary position, no longer performing surgeries but still providing technical guidance to his juniors.
Therefore, he had long stopped attending these conferences so as not to interfere with the work of the young people.
But out of curiosity, Elder Ding brought a small telescope and sneakily went to observe the surgery in the meeting room. When he arrived, the room was already packed with people who were so focused on the surgery that nobody noticed him. He found a spot near the door, stood watching the surgery through his small telescope for a while, and then quietly left.
