At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Haidong University Affiliated Hospital, Dean's office.

"Ah, Gu Yu, Gu Yu, you've really helped our hospital out big time again!"

"What do you say, stop being some external consultant and join our hospital instead? I promise you, before I retire, I will pile all the hospital's resources onto you!"

"You might even take a crack at my chair as the dean!"

The 63-year-old Dean Tan Shizhen put his arm around Gu Yu's shoulder getting cozy with him.

Dai Zhengguo sat on the side, sipping tea with a grin that just couldn't close up.

Gu Yu was the person he had called over, and his relationship with Gu Yu was extremely close; this time it indeed made him quite proud again.

Seeing Dean Tan drawing big pies in the air for Gu Yu, he pretended to be surprised and said:

"Wow, Old Tan, are you serious? Our little brother Gu is only twenty-one years old. If he becomes a dean in his twenties, that would really make a name for himself in our medical circles!"

After Dai Zhengguo finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, his face carrying a meaningful expression.

Although there was a joking undertone in his words, he truly hoped, just like Tan Shizhen, that Gu Yu would stay at Haidong University Affiliated Hospital.

Whether for the sake of Gu Yu's future or for the patients of Haidong, if Gu Yu stayed, Haidong Hospital would undoubtedly become one of the top hospitals in Modu in the future, without exception!

Having worked at Haidong Hospital for so many years, Dai Zhengguo had developed strong feelings for the institution and naturally hoped it would have an even better future.

"Of course it's true! Could there be any doubt? If this kid weren't so young, I could hand over the dean's position to him right now!"

When Tan Shizhen heard Dai Zhengguo question his words, he glared, straightening his neck with indignation.

But a sly glint flickered in his eyes.

Although he meant it, his words were indeed an exaggeration.

Even if Gu Yu were a prodigy, it's impossible for him to become a high-level figure in Haidong Hospital at this age.

The ins and outs, the network of relationships required, can't be resolved by merely being highly skilled and having a reputation as a medical genius.

A doctor can focus solely on his medical skills, but as a dean, it's not like that.

Gu Yu is too young; he couldn't grasp the complexities involved.

"Dean Tan, you're really overestimating me. I'm just an ordinary attending physician, how could I compare to someone as respected and esteemed as you?"

"Give me ten years, no, twenty years, and I might not even be able to hold the position of associate dean!"

"You are a true predecessor, and I, well, I'm just a youngster who got lucky."

Dean Tan could paint grand visions, and Gu Yu knew how to say the right things.

Smooth flattery flowed easily from his lips.

Although Tan Shizhen knew Gu Yu's words were just pleasantries and hadn't directly answered his question, he felt quite pleased to receive flattery from such a young ear.

"Hey! Youth should not belittle themselves! Who says it's impossible? Old Dai and I are already aging; the future belongs to you young folks!"

"One of these days, we might just get wiped out by you fierce newcomers on the sands!"

Tan Shizhen laughed and let go of Gu Yu's shoulder, understanding the situation.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At this point, coaxing Gu Yu to join was probably a no-go; the guy was even sharper than he thought.

Throughout the conversation, he had been avoiding the main issue, and he had never brought up the topic of joining Haidong Hospital on his own initiative.

And indeed, that was exactly what Gu Yu was thinking.

Not to mention that he currently had a company with dozens of employees to manage, even without that, he did not wish to stay in the hospital for long.

Whenever he was needed, he would not hesitate to step up to treat and save patients. He did not want to let down his medical skill, nor did he want to waste the title of being a doctor.

As long as there were patients, he was a doctor, and he had to fulfill his duty.

But he didn't want to spend every day in the hospital fulfilling that duty...

He didn't want to make it his lifelong career.

"Dean Tan, you jest, you're in the prime of life!"

Gu Yu smiled politely.

Dai Zhengguo, sitting nearby, was feeling more and more that something was off; why was their conversation laced with such an undercurrent of confrontation?

He furrowed his brows, pondered the conversation, and immediately understood what they were both implying.

It was just that Tan Shizhen wanted to lure Gu Yu into Haidong Hospital with a great offer, but Gu Yu had no intention of taking it.

Gu Yu didn't want to dwell on the topic with Tan Shizhen, so both started being overly courteous.

Old Tan was too blunt; Gu Yu was someone who didn't enjoy empty talk. Only after building a good relationship with him, then discussing such matters, could Gu Yu give in even if he refused.

For instance, becoming a resident external consultant—given Gu Yu's nature, he would definitely not refuse!

Thinking this, he couldn't help feeling somewhat smug.

So what if Old Tan was the dean? Couldn't he still not handle Gu Yu, the stubborn mule?

He had wanted to take Gu Yu as his student at first but was refused.

Fortunately, he switched his approach in time, befriending Gu Yu and becoming close like family.

Now, when trouble arose, one phone call was all it took to bring Gu Yu over!

"Haha, it's clear to see you really think highly of Yu, Old Tan! But young people don't like this kind of empty talk. I suggest you start with something concrete."

"Like a bonus, perhaps? Offering a permanent consulting position? More benefits and preferential treatment..."
