I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Maki Nishikino gave a polite, slight smile.

She never expected to run into two people from Tokyo University here, and even know them.

"I was really surprised that Nishikino didn't stay at the university hospital. She's not like our number one student."

Majima was also reflecting on this at that moment.

During the same period at the University of Tokyo, Suzuya went to the university hospital, which is affiliated with the University of Tokyo.

However, Maki Nishikino did not go to the affiliated hospital of Jundai University, but instead came to this Kanto General Hospital.

"My family has a hospital in Chiyoda."

"It's Maki Nishikino," she said slowly.

They almost forgot about this: the Nishikino family owns a hospital in Chiyoda Ward.

With her goal of inheriting the family business, she really didn't need to stay in the hierarchical university hospital.

There are already few female students in the medical school, and in traditional university hospitals, there is also a tendency to look down on women.

So, at her father's arrangement, she came here.

Her father was an old acquaintance of Fujiwara, the director of Kanto General Hospital.

"Were you sent here by professors from the university?"

She didn't mention that the three of them would nominally be rotating through the hospital, but in reality, they were working directly in the cardiac surgery department.

This is something everyone tacitly agrees on; the clerk had already given them hints to keep a low profile.

"That's it."

Aki Tomoya and Majima exchanged a glance.

The former completely accepted the professor's arrangements, while the latter had family reasons for doing so.

They were all assigned to come here as medical trainees.

However, the specific circumstances are somewhat different.

From the moment Aki Tomoya accepted Professor Yano's arrangement, he was labeled as a member of the Yano faction. He should perform well so that he can return to the university hospital in the future.

Ultimately, Majima's situation was arranged by his father, with Professor Yano's help. Although he would return to the university hospital, his situation was different from Aki Tomoya's, and he avoided being labeled as Professor Yano.

Finally, there's Nishikino Maki. With the goal of inheriting the family business, there's no need for her to go to a university hospital. She's not very interested in the power struggles within university hospitals, and her target is also cardiac surgery, so Kanto General Hospital is a good choice.

As for what they have in common, it's probably that they both rely on the head of the cardiac surgery department.

For a long time to come, they will remain in the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Kanto General Hospital, where they will study related to the Department of Physical Medicine.

"Oh."

Nishikino Maki gave Aki Tomoya and Majima a meaningful look.

Perhaps in her eyes now, Aki Tomoya and Mashima will inevitably be the kind of people who will encounter power struggles in the university hospital in the future.

However, now they are all resident trainees at Kanto General Hospital.

Here, they share a common goal.

"But wasn't Takagi-kun with you guys?"

Nishikino Maki suddenly remembered someone.

In her memory, Aki Tomoya and the others were indeed a trio, but now one person is missing.

Upon hearing the other person mention Takagi, both Aki Tomoya and Majima couldn't help but chuckle.

"Takagi-kun's goal is neurosurgery, so he didn't come with us and stayed at the university hospital."

Although Takagi, who was destined to return to inherit the family business one day, had temporarily disappeared from their lives, a similar person had filled the void.

The girl in front of me is the kind of person who will go back to inherit the family hospital in the future.

Chapter 423 Kanto General Hospital Cardiac Surgery Department

"Please take care of me from now on, Nishikino-kun."

"Nice to meet you, Aki-kun, Majima-kun."

Everyone knows that they have an advantage in the residency rotation system.

Afterwards, they will all be working in the cardiac surgery department. Some things may violate the rules, but since they are all people who enjoy the convenience, there is no need for them to think too much about these things.

At least for now, they are the same kind of people with the same goals.

They didn't stay in the reception room for long. About half an hour later, Mr. Shangxing, the clerk, came to find them and took them to the conference hall.

They waited at the door for the time being, and did not make any further moves as instructed by the steward.

Judging from the situation inside, the meeting was almost over, and the secretary seized the opportunity to walk over to Dean Fujiwara and whisper something in his ear.

"Ah."

Dean Fujiwara nodded slightly, glanced at the three people at the door, and then moved the microphone closer to him.

"Starting today, three resident doctors have joined our hospital."

His voice was quite steady. After speaking, he paused for a moment and gestured for the three people at the door to come in.

"Let's get to know each other."

At the dean's prompting, the three began to introduce themselves.

Medical trainees are not uncommon for doctors; everyone has gone through the medical trainee stage.

However, in previous years, due to the nature of private hospitals and the strict screening system, the number of people who ultimately came to them as trainees was actually not large.

This year, three people came at once, which is quite a breakthrough.

"Tomoya Aki, a graduate of the Third Year of Science at the University of Tokyo. Nice to meet you."

"Shin Mashima, a graduate of the Third Year of Science at the University of Tokyo. Nice to meet you."

"Maki Nishikino, a graduate of Juntendo University School of Medicine, nice to meet you."

With two universities in Tokyo and one Juntendo University of Medicine, Kanto General Hospital has recruited three promising young talents this year, simply in terms of talent reserves.

These two universities have the best reputations among Japanese medical universities.

However, there were quite a few people from the University of Tokyo at the Kanto General Hospital. Some people were even jokingly thinking that their hospital was about to be taken over by the University of Tokyo faction.

While the atmosphere at meetings at private hospitals is also serious compared to university hospitals, it's not as suffocating as it is at university hospitals.

During the surgical department meeting, a group of surgeons also looked at them with slightly curious eyes.

However, it's hard to say whether their curiosity will last long, because even a private hospital has a lot of things to do, not to mention that Kanto General Hospital is a well-known hospital in Taito Ward and even the whole of Tokyo.

"Chief of Staff."

Dean Fujiwara beckoned to the administrator and then whispered something to him.

Not long after, the steward, having received instructions, left with the three of them.

"Chief of Staff, was that a meeting in the surgical department just now?"

"That's right, you'll be attending the surgical department's routine meetings from now on."

The chief administrator turned around and glanced at Aki Tomoya.

They arrived at the elevator, the clerk pressed the button, and waited for the elevator to arrive.

"During the day, you can use the elevator unless there are special circumstances. However, if there are patients, you should try to make things convenient for them."

This is different from the situation in university hospitals. During their clinical internships, they were told that whether they were medical trainees or later chose a department to become specialists, they were not allowed to use the elevator during the day.

In university hospitals, being able to use the elevator seems to have become a special privilege.

Shangxing had worked in a university hospital and knew the rules there very well.

There used to be a joke that in university hospitals, people would climb up just to take the elevator.

However, in reality, this is still a somewhat exaggerated understanding.

University hospitals have clear regulations regarding who can use the elevators. Newly hired trainees, even after two years of training to become specialists, are not allowed to use the elevators during the day. Once they advance to the next level, they can use them. The hierarchy is completely defined.

On the bright side, it really is about reserving the elevator for those who need it.

Therefore, in university hospitals, medical trainees are not considered human...

“Our hospital’s cardiac surgery department is on the ninth floor, the ICU is on the fourth floor, and the place where you need to clock in this month is on the fifth floor. I’ll take you to the cardiac surgery department first.”

The destination for Aki Tomoya and the other two has been decided: the cardiac surgery department on the ninth floor. How to arrange things afterward is up to the cardiac surgery department.

At the same time, Aki Tomoya asked another question: "The head of the merchandise department didn't seem to be in the meeting room just now?"

He did not see the head of the cardiac surgery department in the conference hall just now.

At the routine meeting of the surgical department, all the previous management personnel were present, and in front of them were signs, except for one: "Material Department".

"The Vice Minister of Monogatari is currently at an academic conference in Kyoto and will not be back until the day after tomorrow."

The chief administrator explained, then smiled slightly at Aki Tomoya.

The elevator reached the ninth floor, and the clerk led them to the cardiac surgery department. There was no one there yet; everyone was still in the conference room and hadn't left.
