top student at medical school

Chapter 227 Yuan Hua's Deng Yong (Please Subscribe)
Professor Deng Yong and Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan started joking around with Yuan Weihong, and since Yuan Weihong wasn't around, even senior student Wang Yuanqi joined in.

Under such circumstances, Fang Ziye, the student, could only hang his head and force a smile.

There's nothing we can do; Yuan Weihong's arrogance is well-known throughout the department.

Listening to the accompaniment.

After joking around for a while, Professor Deng Yong finally brought the topic back to the main point: "Yuanqi, Zhiming, what prize are you planning to win in the competition?"

"Yuan Weihong took home the grand prize last year!"

Joking aside, Deng Yong still hoped that PhDs like Wang Yuanqi would know when to stop joking, and that some jokes were not appropriate for subordinates like him to make.

Yuan Weihong may be a bit arrogant, but he does have the ability.

It's fair to say that if Yuan Weihong hadn't squandered his doctoral research and failed to secure funding for his current National Natural Science Foundation of China project, he would probably already be holding onto his excellent young scientist award.

Scientific research is accumulated over time, bit by bit, and cannot be skipped.

Once a deficit is incurred, it is extremely difficult to make up for it.

Yuan Weihong is very capable; otherwise, Professor Deng Yong would not have kept Yuan Weihong on the faculty the year he joined the faculty, instead of taking his own students.

Wang Yuanqi's expression immediately froze: "Master, shouldn't we students focus on participating?"

"This main stage is all about the big shots' show."

Although Wang Yuanqi entered the doctoral program based on his absolute professional ability, he still didn't reach the level where he could get a good ranking.

Even Yuan Weihong only won first prize last year, which shows how highly competitive this competition is.

When Xie Jinyuan heard Deng Yong bring up this topic, he chimed in, "Professor Deng, Yuan Qi is still too young, but I reckon he'll be pretty sure to get a third prize."

"It's quite difficult to get into the second prize."

"Let me think... some of the people from last year probably won't be participating again, such as Yuan Weihong, Shen Tao from the Provincial People's Hospital, and Long Yuan from Tongji Hospital..."

"This year, I heard from Zhang Zixi that Pang Shu and Xing Fang from Peking Union Medical College Hospital are quite competitive, and Chen Tailin from the Department of Trauma Surgery at Tongji Hospital also has a PhD who won a second prize last year."

"In addition, there's Ning Jindong from the Provincial Central Hospital. I estimate that these are the people who will win first prize this year. The others are in a very slim chance."

"If Ziye puts in a little effort, he might be able to get a second prize."

Xie Jinyuan is an associate professor, so the people he remembers are generally outstanding talents in their thirties who have already started working. As for some of the participating students, they may be quite outstanding at their age, but ultimately, they are still too young and need more time to accumulate experience.

Wang Yuanqi immediately licked his lips, his eyes filled with envy as he looked at Fang Ziye: "Ziye, when you make a move, you're at your peak!"

"Very few people can win a second-class award during their doctoral studies."

The Young Physicians Skills Competition is open to all young people, but generally speaking, it is the older young people who win awards during the competition.

Those at the top are all close to the age of thirty-five.

Not everyone is a "genius" like Professor Liu Huanglong, who became a full professor at the young age of 36. When he started his "debut" during his doctoral studies, he was already making waves in the field of hand surgery.

"Ziye, just do your best, don't feel pressured."

"To avoid any appearance of impropriety, the professors of trauma surgery and hand surgery switched places as examiners for this competition."

“There won’t be any familiar superiors putting pressure on you then. Besides, the host for the trauma surgery sub-competition will be Professor An from the Provincial People’s Hospital…” Deng Yong reassured Fang Ziye.

Wang Yuanqi pinched his long neck and slightly protruding sternocleidomastoid muscles, and said sourly, "Master, you can't be too biased. You only put pressure on me, but you only comfort Ziye!"

"Right, Zhiming?" Wang Yuanqi hoped that his junior brother, Yan Zhiming, who had just entered, would also say a word on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhiming simply nodded, not daring to speak. However, he no longer had the nervousness he had when he first entered. At this moment, he was as honest and simple as a chubby little boy, extremely well-behaved.

He's only a first-year doctoral student, so Deng Yong won't put any pressure on him.

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong suddenly said, "It's a pity that Shao Qing has already gone to work. Otherwise, if he had come to participate in the competition, he probably could have won a second prize."

Deng Yong's eyes held a hint of reluctance and regret.

In fact, according to the rules, Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing should still be in school; he has not yet officially reached graduation time.

Sun Shaoqing, however, defended his thesis ahead of schedule, obtained his graduation and degree certificates, and has been working for four or five months now.

Bringing up the old story reminded everyone of their senior brother, Sun Shaoqing.

Xie Jinyuan then asked, "Where does Xiao Sun work now?"

"I heard it's at the world's number one hospital," Professor Deng Yong joked.

Then everyone understood.

They're all Chinese, so it's impossible that they don't know about the world's number one hospital.

Then Deng Yong told everyone about Sun Shaoqing's academic journey. Professor Deng Yong recounted how Sun Shaoqing first came to him and how things changed later, his tone tinged with melancholy. Next, Deng Yong spoke of his first student, who is now the deputy chief physician at YC City People's Hospital and will also be attending.

"You mean Xiao Su? It's been a long time since I've seen Director Su." Xie Jinyuan first confirmed the identity, then corrected himself.

Xiao Su was the first student Professor Deng Yong took on shortly after he became an attending physician and was promoted to master's supervisor.

Back then, Professor Deng Yong didn't get promoted to master's supervisor as quickly as young people do today. This was mainly because the time and depth of his research were not as advanced as those of today's young people.

"That's good too. He had asked our hospital before if we recruit part-time doctoral students. Our university has already stipulated that we don't even recruit part-time students, let alone part-time students."

"He currently has a family business to manage, so it's not appropriate for him to continue pursuing a doctorate."

"Are all the dishes served? Let's start eating." Deng Yong said this as he watched the dishes arrive one after another.

Fang Ziye quickly started opening the bottles from the back.

These wines were prepared by Director Wu Guonan. I heard that Zhang Mingcan bought them last month, intending to use them for entertaining guests now.

Fang Ziye said that if he wanted to receive her alone, he would take three bottles.

Three bottles weigh only three jin (approximately 1.5 kg), which is probably only enough for these dozen or so people, enough to fill a gap between each person's teeth.

Toasting was essential, but Fang Ziye and the others did not actually try to get Xie Jinyuan drunk because of his earlier joke.

There wasn't enough wine, but the meal was quite filling.

Professor Deng Yong's stomach was probably not in particularly good condition, so he didn't dare to eat too much and stopped eating to chat with Xie Jinyuan. Fang Ziye and the others, on the other hand, continued to eat heartily and clean up the mess because they were young.

"Yuanpei, why didn't Senior Brother Gu Yi come this time?" Fang Ziye asked his classmate.

The pockmarks on Li Yuanpei's face were still there, but the pressure on his face had lessened.

Now that his doctoral examination is over and he is a student of his teacher, the matter of Deng Yong "offending" others because of him should have been put behind him long ago.

"Senior Brother Gu said he was staying home, so he didn't come. After all, you know that Senior Brother Gu is still a little bit behind Senior Brother Wang. He wanted to take some time to gain some practical experience in clinical practice."

While eating the cured pork ribs, Li Yuanpei twisted the bones out of the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, is that so?" Fang Ziye didn't ask any further questions.

After Sun Shaoqing graduates, Gu Yi and Wang Yuanqi will take over as senior students. They are also in their third year of doctoral studies and are facing considerable pressure to find employment.

Professor Deng Yong's reputation is one of the advantages in finding a job, but it can't completely replace food on the table...

After finishing his meal, Professor Deng Yong planned to lead everyone to rest.

The conference opening ceremony is tomorrow, so everyone decided to take a short break today and have Fang Ziye take them on a tour of the surrounding area to relax and have some fun.

It seems unlikely we'll be able to visit the Grand Canyon, but we can still take a trip to the Tusi City within the city if we have the time.

"Are you all coming together?" Deng Yong asked the group of graduate students behind him, like a mother hen leading her chicks.

“Master, let’s not go. I’ve arranged to go out with my junior brothers to play some pool and games. Let Ziye take you and Teacher Xie.” Wang Yuanqi offered.

For this kind of trip, too many people are not suitable; otherwise, it loses its charm.

They definitely wanted to go, but they couldn't take over their master's territory. Even if they were to go, they would have Fang Ziye lead them again tomorrow. After all, Fang Ziye was their junior brother and also from Enshi, so he was their master.

"also."

The group split into two teams and parted ways.

Just as Deng Yong arrived at the gate of the Tusi City by taxi, he saw another group ahead of him. The group was not large, but it had one more person than his own.

"Professor Duan, Professor Zhong, what a coincidence!" Deng Yong recognized Duan Hong and greeted him.

Upon hearing this, Duan Hong and the others turned around and exchanged greetings with each other.

Fang Ziye then learned that the four people were Duan Hong, Zhong Wenyuan, Long Yuan, and Wu Xuanqi.

Zhong Wenyuan, currently thirty-seven years old, is already an associate professor and is Professor Duan Hong's first student.

This team is obviously much more solid than Deng Yong's, because Xie Jinyuan is not Deng Yong's student, but rather studied under another retired professor.

This shows that Duan Hong's team actually has a more solid foundation than Deng Yong's.

Professor Duan Hong swayed his chubby face and asked in a very kind manner, "Professor Deng, you really look radiant. I see your team has published several articles."

“There are only a few articles here~” Deng Yong said in a strained voice.

"I can't finish sending them all! I simply can't finish sending them all!" Fang Ziye couldn't help but look at Yuan Weihong with surprise.
