Chapter 2503: Sudden Realization

"It’s not fruit."

Then what is it?

Without Teacher Tan speaking further, Xie Wanying smartly kept her mouth shut.

Others listening to this phone call were secretly pondering: What does Tan Kelin want to bring for the students? Not saying? Something is fishy.

The ward door quietly opened a crack, and a person slipped in like a ghost, quietly standing there.

As soon as they sensed someone, they turned to see, dissatisfied: Oh, it’s the Immortal. No wonder such an ascended person didn’t make a sound. The problem is, why doesn’t this person speak and act like he’s some immortal?

Ren Chongda pointed at the old classmate and asked, "Cao Yong said you had some things to handle at the hospital and left."

"Yes, I left something here, came back to pick it up before I leave," Cao Zhao explained briefly.

"What thing?" Cao Yong’s tone burst out in doubt, suspecting like everyone else that his second brother might have intentionally pretended to leave only to return discreetly to eavesdrop.

Cao Zhao waved his hand: No such thing. As brilliant as he might be, even he couldn’t have calculated that upon his sudden return, he would overhear major news.

Everyone’s gaze moved to the corner of the room where clothes were tucked inside a bag, which made them believe half of his words. But leaving clothes behind wasn’t urgent; he could just ask someone to bring them back later. What does this imply? It suggests he might’ve returned for more than just his clothes.

Having heard the major news, Cao Zhao went to get his clothes and asked Teacher Ren, "Are your class students entering the research learning stage?"

"They are the first batch entering clinical internship, almost reaching this stage where arrangements need to be made," Ren Chongda said honestly.

Oh. Everyone suddenly realized what sort of plan Robot and others calling to vie for mentorship positions were hatching. The first batch entering clinical studies early comprised extraordinarily talented students; it’s easy to make achievements with such students and observe their potential in research closely. Now medical graduates are recruited with high demands, eager for medical students to excel in every possible skill, capable of multitasking in the unit for both hard work and research. Hospital and company recruitment follow similar principles, aiming to minimize labor costs by utilizing one person for multiple roles. Research is indeed a solid metric.

Why was there no "jostling" in the past? The reason was there had never been a batch like this year with so many students entering clinical internship early. Although the teachers jest, perhaps these students don’t measure up to Student Xie, they are exceedingly remarkable compared to their peers and predecessors.

Teachers are cunning, striving to join mentor groups this year, only to find excuses to withdraw next year—a calculated plan.

"What? Do you want to be a mentor to our class students?" Ren Chongda listened to Second Brother Cao’s question and seemed surprised to grasp his intention, "You are from Guodu, not Guoxie."

"Does your institute mandate that a Guoxie mentor has to guide students in writing papers?" Cao Zhao countered.

This? Could it be the Immortal brother is considering becoming an external mentor for their class? The school usually favors throwing such a hot potato onto students themselves. Convincing a highly talented teacher to mentor students, regardless of their grades, is incredibly challenging. Because being a doctoral advisor requires contributing energy, money, lab resources, etc., however, if this becomes reality, Guodu probably wouldn’t allow its teachers to be hired as mentors by other faculties unless the two institutions engage in joint training.
