Sometime after four in the afternoon, the five titans of cardiac surgery—Liang Zhaokui, Gu Lin, Deng Chunming, Ni Leixing, and Zhang Shi'an—each held a copy of the newly printed "Operational Guidelines for the Dual-Chief Surgeon Heart Transplant Technique." The documents were still warm from the printer, and they couldn't seem to put them down.
Dr. Gu Lin sighed emotionally. "This wasn't easy. We finally finished it. It was worth the millions of brain cells I've lost and half my hair turning gray over this."
His words earned him a contemptuous eye-roll from Dr. Deng Chunming.
"Mr. Gu, to hear you talk, one would think you put in all the work and deserve most of the credit."
"All you did was patch up the holes and run verifications."
Gu Lin scoffed, shooting him a disdainful sideways glance. "Dr. Deng, I know what this is. It's jealousy, pure and simple."
