I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

First, he hooked up with a professor at the university, and then he worked in the medical department of the former Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Tokyo. This identity is really awkward.

"An Yi-kun, have you ever considered that the professor might have had other intentions in arranging for you to come here?"

Yoshida Aoba suddenly said something with a hint of malice.

In his eyes, if Aki Tomoya continues on this path, his resume may look impressive, but if he were to return to the University of Tokyo Affiliated High School, he would become a thorn in the side of many people.

There's nothing else to it, my situation is a bit awkward.

Given his background, he will have to rely entirely on the professors behind him once he returns.

"Sometimes, it doesn't really mean that much, but if you think about it like you do, Dr. Yoshida, it often comes to mean a lot more."

Aki Tomoya replied calmly.

Yoshida Aoba laughed upon hearing this: "Haha, am I worrying unnecessarily, or are you too optimistic... or perhaps, you've already planned this out?"

He looked at Aki Tomoya with great interest.

My state of mind was indeed good; I wasn't flustered at all, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Yoshida Aoba thought about it for a moment, and then thought about it as well, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

If you have no background, then you have to create one. Aki Tomoya is different from Mashima and the others. His family is not a so-called family of doctors, let alone any so-called resources.

Since you have a choice, why not choose it?

Is it just feigned aloofness?

This was clearly a perfect match, a mutually agreeable arrangement, wasn't it?

After figuring all this out, Yoshida Aoba understood why Aki Tomoya was so calm.

This kid knows what he lacks and what he needs; ultimately, it's a matter of making choices.

"Aki-kun, can you satisfy my curiosity?"

"what?"

"Which faction are you on?"

"Hey, I thought Dr. Yoshida knew!"

Aki Tomoya looked at the other person in surprise.

Meanwhile, Majima was also watching curiously from the side.

"The head of the department didn't tell me anything at all. Maybe Sasaki knows. All I know is that Dr. Nishikino got in because of the dean's connections."

Yoshida Aoba said helplessly.

Aside from Nishikino, he really didn't know who had introduced Aki Tomoya and Majima to him.

"Hey, what's wrong with me?"

Suddenly, Maki Nishikino's voice came from behind.

She had just arrived when she heard them talking about her, and she looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression.

"No, no, no, it's nothing, Dr. Nishikino, you're overthinking it. We were just talking about Aki-kun."

Nishikino Maki pursed her lips at Yoshida Aoba's polite explanation.

“You are all quite remarkable. One of you is going to inherit the Chiyoda Hospital, another is a professor’s son, and the third is a professor’s prized student.”

They are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Yoshida Aoba sighed inwardly.

"Dr. Yoshida, you're suddenly acting strangely!"

Nishikino Maki glanced at Yoshida Aoba.

What I just said sounded like I was making fun of them.

"Let's continue talking about Aki-kun. Can you satisfy my curiosity?"

Yoshida Aoba touched her nose and continued to press Aki Tomoya for answers.

It's not that I can't talk about this, since there are no outsiders here.

Even Nishikino, with whom she had only spent two years, was not a talkative person.

"Professor Yano."

"That person? I didn't expect that!"

Yoshida Aoba's eyes widened, then she shook her head.

“I remember Professor Yano had quite a few people in the internal medicine department. When we were still around, we always wanted to get involved in surgery. I didn’t expect he’s still doing this kind of thing now…”

Yoshida Aoba was no stranger to Professor Yano.

Although that person held a position at the university, many people at the hospital followed his lead.

Whether in universities or hospitals, its influence is still quite significant.

However, internal medicine and surgery are still different, and Professor Yano's influence in surgery is still limited.

"I spent a lot of time in the pathology lab at university, so..."

Aki Tomo didn't continue speaking.

I believe Yoshida Aoba will understand.

Hearing Aki Tomoya say that, Yoshida Aoba nodded.

"As for Professor Yano, although I haven't had much direct contact with him, he's not such a sinister person. You've made the right choice in following him."

Aki Tomoya never expected to hear such a comment from Yoshida Aoba.

According to him, Professor Yano is still a good person?

Whether someone is a good person or not depends on the circumstances.

Professor Yano was a good person to him. Over the years, he had given him a lot of preferential treatment, including in graduate school, where he enjoyed many conveniences because of Professor Yano.

"So, with Professor Yano's help, Aki shouldn't have much trouble getting his doctorate, right?"

Majima said at this moment.

"Hey, even without Professor Yano, with my guidance, Aki-kun won't have any problems!"

Yoshida Aoba patted his chest at this moment.

Seeing his confident demeanor and his self-aggrandizing attitude, the people around him chuckled softly.

"It's just a doctoral degree. In our cardiac surgery department, apart from the three of you, everyone else is a medical doctor. You don't need to consult anyone else. Just ask me if you don't understand something."

Having been an associate professor before, this confidence is just different.

However, Yoshida Aoba is right. It's just a doctoral degree. In this place, is he still a doctor?

They're all top students from the University of Tokyo and other prestigious universities; what difficulty would it be for them to get a doctorate?

"Hearing Dr. Yoshida's words was like receiving a shot of adrenaline!"

"Try to cut back on the compliments."

Chapter 473 I’m getting married

"I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled! Someone as outstanding as me, how could Tokyo University not want me!"

At the end of the year, Takagi came to Tokyo from Kyoto, saying he was going to apply for graduate school, but he was turned away.

Having been expelled from the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital, he seems to still hope that one day he can get his revenge where he fell.

The failure of the lawsuit left Takagi with an unprecedented sense of frustration.

"If you don't want me, then I don't want you. Kyoto University isn't a bad choice. You don't necessarily have to go back to Tokyo University, do you?"

While hosting Takagi, who was on vacation, at his home, Aki Tomoya offered words of comfort.

Unlike Takagi, who was turned away, he has passed the exam and will be admitted to graduate school next year, where he will be under Professor Yano's supervision.

As for the rest, it all depends on his efforts.

When Takagi came to Tokyo this time, he heard that he wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could return to the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital. Aki Tomoya didn't have much hope.

Ultimately, he was kicked out of the university hospital. Although Tokyo University was his alma mater, it wouldn't show any leniency for him alone.

"If you stumbled in that kind of place, wouldn't you want to get up in the same place again? You know that in the end, people couldn't persevere, and all the negative effects were immediately wiped away by the big hospital."

The so-called negative impact seems to have no existence at all.

People's memories have a limited lifespan; they will be forgotten before long.

Takagi has now successfully completed his medical training at Kyoto University Hospital and finished his rotation in neurosurgery. He is currently accumulating work experience at affiliated hospitals and is waiting to be transferred back to the university hospital.

However, he seems to have a different idea and wants to try to return to Tokyo to avenge his previous defeat.

But once you leave the University of Tokyo Affiliated School, it's not so easy to go back there.

Besides, it's a bit too hasty for him to be thinking about graduate school so early.

"Hmph, I was just thinking about it. If they don't want it, they don't want it. They're the ones who lose out!"
