"Student, what is your name and which department are you from at Eastern Hospital?"

Li Hongwei glanced at Zhao Heng and asked again.

"Professor, my name is Zhao Heng, and I'm from the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center at Eastern Hospital."

Zhao Heng replied.

"Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center? I remember that's a newly established center, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hongwei pondered for a moment and said.

Apparently, the establishment of the Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Center at Eastern Hospital has garnered widespread attention in the industry, and even Li Hongwei was aware of it.

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Xiao Zhao, you're here for more than just attending the lecture, right?"

Li Hongwei smiled with a meaningful expression and said to Zhao Heng.

Although Zhao Heng came with a purpose, he didn't mind having such a goal. People in the medical field appreciate this straightforward and no-nonsense approach.

If he were in a similar situation, he would undoubtedly find a way to approach directly as well.

"Yes, I would like to ask for your help in reviewing this patient."

Zhao Heng candidly stated.

He knew that such a renowned professor's time was precious and there wasn't time for any unnecessary delay.

Finding Professor Li Hongwei elsewhere, Zhao Heng was sure he wouldn't be able to invite him, but during his public lecture, the chances increased significantly.

This is a little trick to invite such a distinguished professor like Li Hongwei, that is, by speaking up in his class to garner his attention, thus increasing the possibilities.

As a professor, Li Hongwei is most fond of students who listen attentively and can grasp what he imparts excellently.

You could say this is universal for all teachers.

During the conversation with Professor Li Hongwei, there was no burst of skill light cluster, thus Zhao Heng needed to deepen his interaction with Professor Li Hongwei.

Inviting him to Eastern Hospital for diagnosis wasn't realistic, but with this pretext, Zhao Heng might be able to visit his laboratory, potentially triggering a skill light cluster.

This was Zhao Heng's real plan.

"Xiao Wei, what does my schedule look like this week?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's direct request, Li Hongwei was a bit surprised, but after some thought, he addressed the assistant.

"Let me check... Professor, it seems there is no time available this week."

Assistant Wei Jinghao took out his phone, checked the schedule, and looked up to tell Li Hongwei.

"In that case..."

Seeing no available slot on the schedule, Li Hongwei was somewhat reluctant to outright reject this young man he admired at first sight, so after thinking it through, he continued:

"Xiao Zhao, would next week work for you?"

Upon hearing this, the assistant standing next to him was taken aback. He had never seen the professor be so amiable to young people before.

Li Hongwei at the Yanjing University School of Life Sciences, especially among students, was quite feared, not due to his character or personality.

It was because Li Hongwei's expectations for students were exceptionally high. Sometimes, if he found a paper unsatisfactory professionally, he'd have students revise it a dozen times or more.

Though it's said that a strict teacher produces outstanding students, many university students these days just want to coast by, so in the School of Life Sciences, almost no student would actively approach him unless necessary.

"Professor, can I bring the patient's case details and bone marrow samples directly to your lab for review?"

Zhao Heng never expected to invite Li Hongwei for a hospital consultation, but bringing the case details and samples directly for his review would be even more effective.

"Xiao Wei, what's on the schedule for tomorrow?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Li Hongwei pondered and asked Wei Jinghao.

"Hmm... for tomorrow, we'll be organizing data in the lab."

Wei Jinghao checked the schedule on his phone and said.

"Alright."

Li Hongwei first nodded to Wei Jinghao, then after some thought, he addressed Zhao Heng: "Xiao Zhao, come by tomorrow afternoon. It will be at Laboratory 1 in the School of Life Sciences. Just mention my name when you enter."

"Thank you, Professor."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng was overjoyed. In his plan, he expected Li Hongwei might agree, but he never imagined he'd be able to meet him as soon as tomorrow.

"Alright."

Seeing Zhao Heng's joyful expression, Li Hongwei nodded with satisfaction.

After a brief conversation with Zhao Heng, he left. After all, his schedule was packed, leaving no time for casual conversations.

Seeing Li Hongwei and the assistant leave, junior Shu Xin approached Zhao Heng and asked, "Senior, did you manage to invite the professor?"

"No."

Zhao Heng shook his head.

"Huh?!"

Shu Xin looked shocked and worried. To her, during Zhao Heng's interaction with Li Hongwei, the professor seemed to appreciate Zhao Heng greatly.

"The professor's schedule is already full this week, so he can't visit the hospital, but I can take the case details and samples to the lab to find him tomorrow afternoon."

Seeing Shu Xin's shocked and worried expression, Zhao Heng smiled and explained.

"Oh! Senior, why did you have to phrase it that way!"

Hearing Zhao Heng's explanation, Shu Xin felt relieved and playfully complained.

"I knew it, Senior, you could definitely do it."

Pausing for a moment, Shu Xin looked at Zhao Heng with deep admiration and said.

"This was in the professor's public lecture after all. If it were elsewhere, it might not have been as effective in impressing the professor."

Zhao Heng slowly said.

This was also Zhao Heng playing to his strengths; for a professor like Li Hongwei, who had already surpassed seeking fame or fortune, teaching and nurturing students was his true pursuit.

Therefore, when Zhao Heng articulated his research during the lecture and demonstrated profound understanding during the follow-up conversation, Li Hongwei, intrigued, naturally opened opportunities for Zhao Heng.

While it sounds straightforward, just having a deep understanding of Professor Li Hongwei's research projects is something very few can achieve.

Those who can wouldn't attend such semi-popular science public lectures.

"Senior, you've matured."

Hearing this, Shu Xin couldn't help but comment.

"Everyone in the industry has to mature."

Zhao Heng sighed slightly and said.

Sometimes even a golden opportunity isn't all-powerful. Like this time, he had to seize the chance himself to spend time with Professor Li Hongwei or participate in his practical experiments to possibly collect any skills or experience light cluster from him.

"Senior, let's go eat first. After that, I'll take you to the studio. I've already made a reservation in advance."

Like a little assistant, Shu Xin suggested to Zhao Heng.
