Duan Feng walked onto the court. Doctor Wang dribbled the ball twice and passed it to him with a smile.

He also jokingly said, "Shoot a basketball?"

His eyes were full of amusement.

The brothers playing basketball who were present knew it well.

There is a tacit understanding among people who hang out at the stadium: whenever a brother's girlfriend comes, that brother will definitely be the protagonist of the stadium that day.

Everyone else will cooperate with that guy, letting that guy steal the show so that he can perform well in front of the girls.

Today, the person that everyone wants to cooperate with to make him stand out must be Duan Feng.

He was the only one who brought his "girlfriend".

Doctor Wang threw the ball to Duan Feng and asked him to shoot, also wanting him to "show off" in front of Su Peishan.

Before the game started, everyone was playing with their basketballs, trying to get a feel for it.

Playing basketball also requires touch and basketball IQ.

Basketball IQ is innate, but touch is random.

People with high basketball IQ can always draw the passing route in their minds, even completely unconsciously.

Basketball IQ is a talent that cannot be developed through training.

You can also find your touch before the game starts, especially for those who are the team's scoring weapon and pitcher. If you feel your touch, you can basically make every shot.

What’s even more exaggerated is that if the three-point shooting feels good today, it will be a killer scoring weapon for the team. Every shot will be accurate and the team will leave the opponent behind in minutes.

However, there is no outstanding three-point shooter in the team of the First Hospital of the University of East China, and they basically rely on the forwards to score layups.

Duan Feng was previously known as the "Two-Point King", which meant that he basically made every two-point shot.

But now with Han Chen...his title of the two-point king is a bit hard to keep.

Speaking of Han Chen...

Doctor Wang looked outside the field and saw that Han Chen did not seem to be in a hurry to go on the field. Instead, he walked towards the rest bench where Zhong Zhicheng was.

At that time, Zhong Zhicheng was looking down at his phone. When he noticed Han Chen coming over, he looked up.

"What's up?"

"A little bit," Han Chen said with a tense expression. He then turned and said to Doctor Wang, "Teacher Wang, you guys go ahead. I want to talk to Teacher Zhong."

Doctor Wang made an “OK” gesture.

On the basketball court, the game officially began with a whistle.

Off the basketball court, Zhong Zhicheng put away his phone and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Han Chen thought for a moment and asked, "I want to get some information."

Zhong Zhicheng was curious: "Oh? What news?"

Han Chen: "How long have you been working at the First Hospital of Dongda University?"

Zhong Zhicheng: "Eight years. What's wrong?"

Han Chen: "Long enough."

Zhong Zhicheng smiled, "What do you want to ask?"

Han Chen: "I've only been here for less than a year, so I'm not very familiar with the factional relationships within the hospital. I just wanted to ask, what is the relationship between Director Gu... and Dean Yao?"

Zhong Zhicheng: "You've been following Director Gu for almost a year, and you still don't look down on him?"

Han Chen: "I can't see clearly. My experience is too inexperienced. I have some intuition, but I'm afraid it's not accurate."

Zhong Zhicheng: "What's your intuition?"

Han Chen: "Sitting on the fence."

Zhong Zhicheng curled his lips slightly: "Then I'll give you a hint... Recently... Director Yao's attention has been focused on cardiac surgery."

Han Chen frowned and asked, "Because cardiac surgery has always been the backup department for the dean's selection?"

Zhong Zhicheng: "Let me ask you another question. Who do you think is more likely to be the next dean, Director Gu or Director Yao from the Department of Cardiology?"

Han Chen fell silent immediately.

He hadn't thought about this issue before.

Whether the superiors are promoted or not, how much does it matter to me? No matter how I look at it, the position of dean will not fall on me.

Han Chen has always believed that being free from official duties is a relief.

However, after Zhong Zhicheng's advice, Han Chen felt that the changes in the hospital's leadership would definitely have an impact on the backbone of their department.

Take the issue of the dean candidate for example.

If Director Gu is elected as the dean, the position of director of orthopedics will be vacant, and naturally he will have to be promoted from among the three deputy directors of orthopedics.

Going down the levels, the position of deputy director of orthopedics will also be vacant...

If Han Chen had just wanted to leave the capital, find a hospital to earn some money, and gain work experience, he wouldn't have needed to consider these things.

But he has decided to live in Dongjiang in the future, which means that he must pay attention to these things.

However, Han Chen, who had just settled in the hospital, was not fully aware of the relationships between the leaders within the hospital, so he had no idea where to start.

Zhong Zhicheng has worked in the First Hospital for eight years and is obviously well aware of its affairs. In addition, he is not interested in matters related to promotions, salary increases, and internal political struggles. This also means that they have no conflict of interest and are naturally the best targets for inquiries.

"Who do you think has a better chance... Director Yao from the Department of Cardiology or Director Gu?" Han Chen asked.

"Director Yao is Dean Yao's younger brother, and... there's also Lu Tingchuan in the cardiac surgery department. If Director Yao doesn't move up, I'm afraid Lu Tingchuan will catch up to him. Many veteran cardiac surgery doctors are retiring this year, including one or two deputy directors. Lu Tingchuan now has Professor Bai Chongming's backing and is the director of the Heart Transplant Center. He's already on par with Yao Fusheng in terms of position. If Yao Fusheng doesn't get promoted, he'll really be left behind by Lu Tingchuan."

Han Chen clenched his fist slightly, "He is really capable."

Zhong Zhicheng asked with a smile, "Are you talking about Lu Tingchuan?"

Han Chen: "Yeah. It's really impressive."

He even thought he didn't have that ability.

Zhong Zhicheng: "Lu Tingchuan has had ambitions since he started studying medicine. His father was the previous dean of the First Hospital of Dongda University, but because of a feud between the two, Yao Fuguang forced him to step down. I'm sure Lu Tingchuan was also holding a grudge, so from the beginning, he had only one goal."

Han Chen was stunned. Although he had heard many rumors before that Lu Tingchuan had ambitions to become the dean, he was still quite surprised to hear the confirmed answer from Zhong Zhicheng.

From the time when I was studying medicine...I was so young then...I don't even know if I've reached adulthood yet.

It is incredible that he has such clear goals and ambitions at such a young age.

You have to know that he has Yao Fusheng and Yao Fuguang above him.

Han Chen: "It really makes me feel ashamed."

Zhong Zhicheng: "You can admire him, but don't envy him too much. His abilities have been slowly accumulated over more than a decade. You've only been at the First Hospital for a short time, so it's normal to feel a bit uncomfortable. This place is different from the Imperial Capital. There, you rely on hard power, but here... to put it bluntly, it all comes down to background. Although Lu Tingchuan's father has stepped down, his grandfather was once the head of the Dongjiang medical sector. Even if he falls on hard times, he still has the family's glory to protect him, so he's not that far behind. Of course, we can't deny his own abilities."

Han Chen: "If it were him, he would definitely be able to handle the problems I'm facing with ease."

Zhong Zhicheng: "I'm not sure about that. When it comes to the open and covert fighting in the department, no one is as skilled as Lu Tingchuan. We're lucky if we can avoid falling into traps set by others, but Lu Tingchuan is known for setting traps for others."
