Chapter 229 Being Treated as an Opponent (Please Subscribe)

Before heading back, Fang Ziye had a chat with Song Yi.

It was only at this time that Fang Ziye realized something: Song Yi's teacher recommended Professor Duan Hong of Tongji Hospital as Song Yi's first choice for mentor, but Song Yi's own top choice was the younger Professor Deng Yong.

The purpose was actually quite simple: Zhongnan Hospital has relatively little employment pressure.

It's like making two preparations.

However, since Deng Yong was rather sentimental, Song Yi didn't interfere. He spent a lot of time and effort apologizing in order to go back to Professor Duan Hong's doctoral program.

If you rejected a big boss like Professor Duan Hong as your first choice, it would be very difficult to get back into his fold. However, Song Yi managed to get back in through his own abilities and other efforts.

Song Yi will also participate in this year's Young Physicians Skills Competition. His goal is the same as Fang Yun's: to secure a third-place finish, then strive for a second-place finish, and not even hope for a first-place finish.

On the way back, Deng Yong asked Xie Jinyuan, "Professor Xie, what's the current status of Professor Zhong's case? Have you asked him? Has he answered?"

Xie Jinyuan is an associate professor, thirty-seven years old this year, one year younger than Duan Hong's student Zhong Wenyuan.

The two are from the same generation, and their starting points were similar when they first started working.

Xie Jinyuan touched his forehead. Although his bald patch was slightly less than Yuan Weihong's, his hairline had receded considerably.

The mole at the corner of his mouth wiggles up and down.

The mole on Xie Jinyuan's lip is completely different from the rather large mole on Professor Deng Yong's chin. It is very light in color and only becomes more noticeable after shaving. Now, it is accentuated by the curve of his lip.

"Professor Zhong will soon be promoted to full professor!" Xie Jinyuan said with a frown, then his face was filled with sighs.

Professor Liu Huanglong, at the age of thirty-six, is a senior professor, which can be considered the pinnacle of academic achievement.

The difficulty of advancing to higher professional titles in clinical medicine and teaching is extremely high, unlike in teaching disciplines where achieving a senior professional title simply requires demonstrating achievements.

The fact that Tongji Hospital agreed to promote Associate Professor Zhong Wenyuan to full professor clearly shows that Zhong Wenyuan has exceptional abilities, whether in clinical practice or scientific research.

"No wonder."

"I was wondering why Duan Hong always brought up the topic of reconstruction. Where is he going to find a full professor to work with him perfectly?" Deng Yong thought about it and realized that the only person willing to stay at the full professor level and work with Duan Hong was probably his group of students.

"Duan Hong is really lucky. First there was Zhong Wenyuan, then there was Long Yuan who is a year younger than Yuan Weihong, and now there is Wu Xuanqi."

"Where did he find all these people?" Deng Yong slapped his thigh in envy.

Although we have a good relationship, my brother is driving a Range Rover!

"Professor Deng, Xiao Wei is still slightly inferior to Long Yuan," Xie Jinyuan said honestly.

The two of them simultaneously turned their heads to look in the direction where Fang Ziye was.

Although Fang Ziye was sitting in the passenger seat, he saw the two men's eyes in the rearview mirror and instantly felt immense pressure.

Are Deng Yong and Xie Jinyuan planning to have me kill Senior Brother Wu Xuanqi? Hey, he's four years older than me!

Please, at least give me a few more years...

After arriving at the hotel, all that was left for the group was to rest and have dinner.

Fang Ziye also booked a room at the hotel, which was registered under his name and was covered by Enshi Central Hospital, so he didn't have to pay out of pocket.

Lying in bed, Fang Ziye heard a constant stream of people coming and going in and out of the bedroom where Professors Deng Yong and Duan Hong were, and he didn't know what they were doing.

Fang Ziye didn't dare to ask. Through the peephole, he saw that the people who came were all of high status. They were either the heads of medical equipment companies or the directors of municipal hospitals.

It's not convenient to meet in the hospital, but academic conferences like this are the perfect opportunity to meet and get acquainted.

Naturally, although Fang Ziye did not show up, he had actually sent a private message to his master long before the first group of people left Professor Deng Yong's room.

The inspection team is still in Enshi. Although Teacher Zu said he was on sick leave, Fang Ziye felt that things were not that simple.

As a student, this is all Fang Ziye can do. He estimates that even if Professor Deng Yong ignores it, he will still delete the message after seeing it.

Fang Ziye simply lay there quietly, chatting with Luo Tingzhu, who had just gotten up, about their recent situations.

Luo Tingzhu was a contestant with many competition experiences, so she shared some tips with Fang Ziye, namely, that you must read the competition rules several times during the competition.

It's definitely not about finding loopholes, but about making better use of the rules and maximizing one's abilities.

"Generally speaking, competitions hosted by municipal hospitals will have some oversights. If you don't want to take advantage of the rules, it's best to ask questions on the spot and make up for it."

"If an expert at the level of deputy director or above were to step in, the loopholes could be patched," Luo Tingzhu explained.

"Wow, Tingzhu, you truly are a professional contestant!" Fang Ziye exclaimed with admiration.

The text I sent was accompanied by an exclamation mark.

Luo Tingzhu sent a shy emoji: "Mainly, similar things have happened in our previous competitions, so we've always been very careful." "Of course, the competitions nowadays are becoming more and more formal, just for exchange rather than winning awards, so it doesn't matter."

"Senior brother, I think you have no problem winning the award." Luo Tingzhu said this with such certainty, whether it was encouragement or trust.

"I hope I can win. My focus isn't on the competition right now. I have to go to the animal lab tomorrow. No matter what kind of competition it is, it can't beat the mice I keep."

“After all, if they…” Fang Ziye also started to paint a rosy picture for himself.

Indeed, before the competition officially started, Fang Ziye had already raised the first batch of five mice. Although the process was complicated, it was actually just the initial breeding of mice!
Then comes the embryonic stem cell stage, and the establishment of a complete individual model. It cannot be accomplished overnight.

"Hehe, it's good that you've tried. There's still plenty of time." Luo Tingzhu only encouraged Fang Ziye to keep going and didn't need to take the result to heart.

"..."

After Luo Tingzhu went to work, Fang Ziye, though not interested in the competition and planning to rest early, was still not 'let go' of by some people.

At 8:30 p.m., Wu Xuanqi called Fang Ziye: "Xiao Fang, are you free?"

"If you have time, let's go out for a late-night snack together. I have some colleagues from our trauma surgery department here. They're all relatively young, and they're practically your senior colleagues."

"Could you give me some face?"

Since Wu Xuanqi had put it so bluntly, Fang Ziye really didn't dare to say no.

Having no other good reason to refuse, he said, "Senior Brother Wu, could you send me your location?"

Wu Xuanqi sent Fang Ziye a location, which was a barbecue restaurant not far from the venue of the academic conference and competition!

When Fang Ziye arrived and entered the private room, he found that there weren't many people inside, and everyone there was quite old. Wu Xuanqi was among them!

Naturally, Fang Ziye immediately spotted two familiar faces: Zhang Zixi from Professor Han Yuanxiao's group and Nie Xuehua from Dong Yaohui's group.

When you meet someone you know, you should naturally address them as an acquaintance. In front of outsiders, Fang Ziye addressed them as "Teacher" twice and "Senior Brother Wu Xuanqi" twice.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Fang Ziye, Zhang Zixi immediately stood up and looked at Wu Xuanqi: "Wu Xiaoba, I thought you were going to introduce someone to us? The person you invited is my little brother, shouldn't you punish yourself with a drink?"

"Ziye, move the chair over here and put it between us." Unlike Zhang Zixi, Nie Xuehua, who was more senior, immediately increased the speed of the car.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye hesitated slightly.

With so many people, is it appropriate for someone to carry their own chair to cut in line and make everyone else move aside?

However, as soon as Nie Xuehua finished speaking, the others actually gave up their seats, which was very polite and respectful.

Wu Xuanqi said, "Brother Zixi, are you sure you want to punish me?"

"Then I'll tell you the truth?"

“This Ziye is your brother. You’re not bringing him to meet us? Do you look down on Ziye? Or on us? Or on me? You choose one.” Wu Xuanqi was a shrewd old fox, completely unscrupulous.

Zhang Zixi didn't choose any of them, picked up her wine glass, and downed a quarter of it.

“Brothers are close, and the amount of alcohol we drink is all about the sentiment. Ziye, come and sit down. I thought you were going to drink with Professor Deng,” Zhang Zixi explained.

"We don't dare to compete with the big boss for talent."

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Fang Ziye.

Those whom Wu Xuanqi could invite over for drinks were generally very capable and relatively young, with a difference of only two or three years between them.

However, this difference is mostly based on Wu Xuanqi's age and above. Below him, there is only one junior brother. Now that Wu Xuanqi has called over a young kid like Fang Ziye, it represents a difference in itself.

They claim to be friends, but in reality, they will become very strong competitors in the future.

Zhang Zixi, however, said that Fang Ziye might have been invited over for drinks by Deng Yong, which is quite intriguing.

In a classroom dominated by professors these days, how can a student possibly squeeze in?
Who would dare bring students there? Mom's status is too low. If someone spits on you and forces you to drink, you'd end up in the ICU. How could you refuse?
Without a senior professional title and connections, if you enter that kind of circle, you'll only be taken advantage of.

There were many things on the table, including barbecue, hot pot, and dry pot, all smelling delicious.

Naturally, it was mostly beer and baijiu (Chinese liquor).

"Ziye, do you want beer or baijiu? There are so many big brothers here, you should at least introduce yourself and get to know them, right?" Since Wu Xuanqi was already here, Nie Xuehua from Zhongnan Hospital, who was the most senior, wouldn't let Wu Xuanqi be the one to introduce them.

Since they were brothers from the same courtyard, he stood up, holding a wine-spreading vessel and a small wine cup, clearly intending to lead Fang Ziye in a circle.

But as soon as Nie Xuehua stood up, someone said, "Nie Xuehua, no, we don't do that. I know you can hold your liquor."

"Well then, we young people are able to get together, unlike the previous generations who rarely interacted. It's all thanks to Dr. Wu's good mediation that we can do this. So let's not be so formal."

"Let's all get to know each other, and then we'll all be friends. No need for extra drinks."
