Li Zehui took a sip of tea: "I know you don't understand. As a Chinese raised in the United States, I should already be a 'banana person'—Asian on the outside, but Westernized inside. However, that's not the case. My heart is still Chinese. I once read a book about Mr. Qian's story, and since then, I occasionally have this thought. I hope I can come back at the right time to contribute a little of what I can. I know my abilities are limited, but there's always something I can do."

"I've been to Sanbo Hospital a few times, and I truly like the cultural environment here. I think I could do something for it," Li Zehui said, blushing.

Yang Ping listened quietly. Li Zehui seemed to have a lot to say and continued, "The competition in this world appears to be between nations, but in essence, it's a competition between races. My views might seem extreme and contrary to mainstream thoughts, but growing up in the United States has taught me this. Every successful person is rooted in their own race, so my roots are in China, and I should contribute to China."

"So, I've thought about it for a long time. When I returned to China for the academic conference, I kept thinking on the plane whether to come and talk to you. I finally decided that I must come and have a chat. I hope to return to China. I discussed this with my parents, and they were very supportive," Li Zehui said earnestly, not at all casually.

"If you really want to come to Sanbo Hospital, we welcome you. We are currently preparing to establish a Cardiac Surgery Department, and if you come, you'll be the most suitable choice. We are very lacking in talent in the field of cardiac surgery," Yang Ping responded on the spot.

Li Zehui is an internationally top cardiac surgeon. In the United States, his achievements far surpass those of his senior, but possibly due to an invisible glass ceiling, he's not as well-known or regarded academically as his senior. His accomplishments have been somewhat intentionally downplayed in promotions.

If Li Zehui is willing to return, Yang Ping would welcome him with open arms. Such talent is precisely what Sanbo Hospital lacks. Whether in terms of technology or expertise, he is world-class and would bring advanced concepts.

However, there is a significant issue: since Li Zehui was born in the United States, returning to China might lead to adaptation challenges and cultural barriers. Still, they could let him try; even if he only comes back for a while, it would be a good thing.

"That's great! Professor Yang, wait for me, I will definitely return," Li Zehui said excitedly.

Sanbo Hospital's Cardiac Surgery Department indeed lacks a skilled expert. Xia Shu is good, but clearly lacks sufficient training time. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang have no interest in cardiac surgery. If Li Zehui could come, leading Xia Shu, the Cardiac Surgery Department at Sanbo Hospital could immediately thrive and be world-class. Subsequently, training some young talents would make the entire team world-class.

However, Yang Ping is worried that Li Zehui might find it very difficult to adapt to the new environment. This is not just about the hospital's cultural environment, but they'll still let him try. If he feels it's not working out, returning isn't a big deal.

Dean Xia walked out of Yang Ping's office but didn't leave the laboratory. He wandered around the lab, seeing what changes had occurred, having heard that a new batch of young people had been recruited.

As he strolled, a somewhat familiar face came walking toward him, and Dean Xia recognized it.

It was that doctor: This is our territory.

Frightened, Dean Xia quickly lowered his head and rushed toward the main entrance, sprinting out of the lab.
