Chapter 1170: Chapter 1173: Both Talented and Beautiful??

Participate in a variety show?

Can doctors really participate in variety shows?

Can they become celebrities?

Wu’s words instantly opened up new perspectives in Chen Cang’s life.

He suddenly felt quite ignorant, which resulted in his path becoming narrower and narrower!

Chen Cang quickly widened his eyes, asking curiously like a baby: “Oh? Director Wu, I’m sorry, I don’t really understand, what’s this show about?”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongpu was speechless.

You young man, how are you just like an old man, ignorant of the world outside and only know how to perform surgeries!

This is simply unacceptable!

I am even more clued into the entertainment industry than you are.

For a while, Wu Tongpu felt a sense of superiority, as he not only watched variety shows, participated in “Produce Camp”, and occasionally urged authors for novel updates, but even had his grandson set up a TikTok account for him to spread medical knowledge.

He felt that he was really keeping up with the trends!

Therefore, to the unsophisticated Chen, Wu Tongpu bluntly said: “I can’t explain it properly to you. Just look up the show yourself. In the last episode, a neurosurgeon participated and was challenged to complete a surgery within 40 minutes. You’ll understand when you watch it!”

“In general, the show sets a goal for you to complete some surgeries or skills that are difficult for the average person.”

“The main target audience is ordinary people who achieve extraordinary things in ordinary positions, and the great craftsmen who contribute silently in the front lines of engineering, to highlight their courage and wisdom. Go check it out for yourself!”

After speaking, Wu Tongpu clearly felt that he was casting pearls before swine; he felt that he and Chen Cang were not from the same era.

There’s a generational gap!

Yes, exactly!

Thinking of this, Wu Tongpu suddenly felt that geniuses indeed have their flaws.

Chen Cang was also stupefied because he clearly heard Director Wu sneeringly say “bumpkin” as he hung up the phone.

Chen Cang could even imagine the disdain in Director Wu’s expression just now!

This left Chen Cang standing perplexed for a long while, with his mind full of: ???

Xu Ziming saw Chen Cang and immediately asked curiously: “Teacher Chen, what’s wrong?”

Chen Cang couldn’t help asking: “Do you guys know ‘Beyond the Edge’? Their production team came to the hospital to invite medical staff to participate. Director Wu asked me if I had any interest.”

After hearing this, suddenly everyone around seemed visibly taken aback.

“That’s great!”

“Participate!”

“Why not participate!”

Everyone unanimously said: “Teacher Chen, this is an opportunity!”

“Think about it, our project has reached a critical step, lacking clinical staff, and we really need a platform and medium for publicity, to increase our recognition.”

“At the same time, it can indirectly showcase our surgical capabilities and techniques for more people to see.”

Xu Ziming nodded and said: “Exactly, after the neurosurgeon from the PLA General Hospital participated in it last time, the effect was very good!”

Li Baoshan also nodded and said: “Exactly, Chen Cang, you shouldn’t be biased against the media.”

“In fact, spreading some medical information through the media is a good thing. Like many health channels, they serve a purpose.”

“And this ‘Beyond the Edge’, being a program on CCTV Channel 1, has a broad audience and can also help many patients in need of surgery.”

He Zhiqian made a sound of agreement: “Right now, some experts online are questioning us, saying we lack the capability. I think it’s totally worth a try to give them a good slap in the face!”

Everyone had their own say, but they all agreed on participating in the program.

Chen Cang checked, ‘Beyond the Edge’ is a large-scale inspirational challenge show, and indeed, it included many front-line workers and people with a spirit of craftsmanship.

And the concept is just like its name, to challenge the impossible!

To continuously improve one’s skills, to strive for self-improvement, paying homage to the spirit of craftsmanship.

Then he watched the episode where the neurosurgeon was challenged to cut the membrane of a quail egg and suture it onto a chicken egg within 40 minutes.

A surgery with great difficulty!

The audience is stirred with surging excitement and enthusiastic passion.

Chen Cang suddenly realized that surgery could be so fiery and spirited.

Presenting surgeries to more people through such a format seemed to indeed be a good thing.

Moreover, this doctor has obviously become a role model, inspiring countless other doctors to learn and surpass, and even gaining more patients’ trust.

This is a good thing.

Not bad!

Participate!

After watching, Chen Cang made up his mind.

After making the decision, Chen Cang called Wu Tongpu to inform him of his willingness to participate.

Upon receiving this news, Wu Tongpu immediately became elated.

In the office, Wu Tongpu hummed a little tune with pride, brewing a pot of pre-rain Longjing tea.

Chen Cang participating this time would also serve as publicity for the emergency center; this guy really took the bait.

In the midst of speaking, Wu Tongpu opened the horoscope for the day on his computer, and the score was indeed very high.

However, he muttered to himself: “Durian is the lucky fruit for today?”

Thinking about it, Old Wu sighed, recalling the time he discovered his wife steaming durian on returning home… too painful to watch!

…

…

The next morning, the staff of the TV program personally came to the hospital.

Learning that Chen Cang was going to join the show, the production team was naturally thrilled!

If Chen Cang joined the program, it would be the highest-profile guest in the show’s history. The honors Chen Cang held were not few, and any one of them was headline-worthy for promotion!

As a result, the program’s deputy director, planners, and others came to the hospital in advance to discuss the specifics of the challenge with Chen Cang.

The deputy director’s surname was Sun, named Sun Ke, a capable woman in her thirties.

Wu Tongpu called Chen Cang to the Director’s office and introduced everyone.

“Professor Chen, hello!” Sun Ke greeted with a smile and shook hands with Chen Cang.

But, at this warm handshake, Sun Ke couldn’t help but take a glance at Chen Cang’s hands, and she froze.

Such beautiful hands!

Slender fingers, a pretty hand shape, and an enveloping feeling of strength and dexterity when shaking hands.

Sun Ke couldn’t help but blush.

Suddenly, she thought that she could… play with these hands for three years!

Featuring these hands in the program, just a close-up would attract countless fans.

Meanwhile, Chen Cang couldn’t help but cough.

The planners and Wu Tongpu both couldn’t help looking at Chen Cang’s hands, feeling envious.

Even his hands could make people linger and fall in love?

A song suddenly popped into Sun Ke’s mind: “Can’t bear to let go…”

Looking up at Chen Cang’s face again, Sun Ke believed that as long as they handled the pre-show publicity well, the ratings for this episode were absolutely going to explode!

Hearing Chen Cang’s cough, Sun Ke regretfully let go of his hand.

With a compliment: “Professor Chen really has both talent and good looks!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang was immediately: ???

Talent and good looks? What kind of nonsense is that!

Shouldn’t I be virtuous and artistically accomplished?
