"But to be honest," Chen Gong said, "at 55, giving Qiao Dingcai the treatment reserved for a leading figure in the discipline is a bit too generous!"
"I was supposed to greet him today, but I didn't go," he continued.
"We've been working together for a few months now, and I'm not one to hold back my thoughts."
"I always feel that expending so many of the hospital's resources and mortgaging the future to invite Qiao Dingcai is a bit of a Pyrrhic victory."
"It might even be better not to invite him at all!"
"Hand surgery is indeed a crucial discipline that is currently lacking in Shanhe Province, and Qiao Dingcai, as a member of Professor Tang's team, is certainly top-notch."
"However, what we need right now is not a top leader for the discipline."
"Besides, I understand you well, your vascular anastomosis and nerve repair surgery are both top-level!"
"It's just the tendon suturing skill that's lacking!"
