top student at medical school

Chapter 246 Character is also a competitive advantage (Please subscribe)
The award presented to Fang Ziye was given by an elderly professor with many titles and a long and distinguished career, even older than Professor Li Guohua.

It's estimated to be at the level of a founding member.

Fang Ziye had never heard of this before, but even so, he could feel the applause that everyone gave him after he went on stage.

After receiving the award, Fang Ziye took the microphone and encouraged the students, saying, "I am very happy to hear that a student has achieved such good results in the young physician competition."

"This means that our Hubei Province's medical system is moving forward, and outstanding talents are being discovered and valued more and more, and our talent pool will become younger and younger."

"I've been retired for many years, so I don't put any pressure on myself. I just hope that I can have many students who can be ambitious and determined in their youth, but not hesitate and achieve nothing!"

"Hopefully, the next competition will be even more exciting than this one."

"I hereby declare that the Hubei Provincial Young Physicians Skills Competition has been successfully held and has come to a complete end..."

What followed was another thunderous and thunderous applause.

It has endured for a long time.

It seemed to be at the height of its prosperity.

But prosperity inevitably leads to decline.

After the competition, the academic exchange sessions across various disciplines gradually came to an end.

After the epilogue, it was time to part ways.

For example, Fang Ziye didn't even have time to invite Professor Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong to have a meal together. After the two of them casually ate a few bites at a buffet restaurant, they boarded a plane and headed straight back to Wuhan.

Professor Deng Yong was so busy because he had agreed to a surgical consultation that afternoon and had to save every minute to get there.

Wang Zhongxing from Enshi Central Hospital originally planned to drive them there, but the two refused, and the three of them chose to take a taxi instead.

At the airport entrance, Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong each offered Fang Ziye a few words of encouragement and praise, feeling that Fang Ziye's studies after arriving in Enshi had not fallen behind and had improved significantly.

This proves that Fang Ziye has found a learning method that suits him and a prominent learning anchor point, which can be described as rapid progress.

However, Professor Deng Yong, in the airport waiting hall without any companions, gave Fang Ziye another piece of advice.

"In a profession, character is not inferior to expertise. But expertise does not elevate character."

"Don't think that just because we are surgeons, we don't need to be cultured or have a good education. In the end, we may be competing on cultural background rather than just technical skills."

"You should observe and reflect as you go, lest you go astray." Deng Yong's reasoning is somewhat unrealistic.

But the first thing Fang Ziye thought of was the lesson that teachers Pang Shu and Ning Jindong taught him, using their own personal experiences.

Fang Ziye nodded to Deng Yong.

“I remember, Master. I will savor it carefully in the future,” Fang Ziye replied solemnly.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. Don't ruin your character, but don't create a persona or label for yourself either. Once you start to create a persona for yourself, you'll feel burdened and life will be very tiring."

After speaking, Deng Yong glanced at Yuan Weihong.

Without saying much, he said, "Let's go, we're off to another event."

Yuan Weihong immediately followed with a grin and took Deng Yong's handbag.

The two walked casually into the security checkpoint without saying anything more to Fang Ziye.

However, when Fang Ziye returned, he took a taxi in the departure area and happened to run into several teachers who had also been on the same flight as Professor Deng Yong.

One of them was Pang Shu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the others were people Fang Ziye did not recognize.

Fang Ziye was waiting for the car when they got off. Pang Shu looked slightly disappointed and dazed.

But after managing to give Fang Ziye a forced smile, the phone rang.

Pang Shu replied, his voice slightly annoyed: "Don't believe any rumors, okay? I'll explain it to you when I get back."

"Me? Don't get so emotional. Can't you give me a chance to explain? Do you really want a divorce?"

"..."

Fang Ziye's emotions stirred slightly. Just then, the ride-hailing car arrived at the gate ahead. Fang Ziye crossed the zebra crossing, stopped several taxis that were about to start crossing the line, and then got into his ride-hailing car.

When he returned, Fang Ziye gave Wang Yuanqi, Yan Zhiming, and other senior brothers a proper welcome.

They couldn't buy plane tickets, so they could only wait miserably for the bullet train home. The train was at around 3 PM, so they could have lunch together.

The teacher will see them off, but the fellow students will also be received.

Fang Ziye had already found a place to eat in advance, and his fellow disciples were probably already there, waiting for him.

A few days ago, because his superiors were all there, Fang Ziye didn't have much time to receive them, as he had two mentors he needed to treat well.

When Fang Ziye returned to the private room, all the food had been served, and there was an empty seat and a cup of wine waiting for him.

Li Yuanpei stood up and invited, "Ziye, come, come, you're the boss today, you sit here."

Fang Ziye's eyes immediately fell on Wang Yuanqi.

At this moment, Gu Yi was not present, so his senior, a second-year doctoral student, was the one with the highest status.

Wang Yuanqi said, "Ziye, don't look down on me. You're treating everyone today, you won an award today, and right now, among all the younger generation in our group, you're the best in both research and professional skills."

"Since there are no superiors here, it's perfectly reasonable for you to sit here, and it's what everyone wants."

"Besides, don't talk about so many rules. No matter how much you follow the rules, not a single drop of this wine can be missing." Wang Yuanqi twirled his long, duck-like neck and smiled maliciously.

"Senior brother, then I'll presume to do this once." "You're not allowed to have any complaints about me." Fang Ziye thought to himself, since he'd already said that, he might as well sit down. Anyway, he couldn't escape this meal and drinks.

Fortunately, I don't need to use Alipay to fill my wallet right now.

Once the business was settled, Wang Yuanqi first arranged for everyone to drink a glass of coconut juice, then have a meal, and only then did it come time to have some wine.

"Ziye, you're not on duty, are you?" As his senior, Wang Yuanqi knew that Fang Ziye still had a mission at Enshi Central Hospital, so he asked in advance.

If Fang Ziye wanted, he could use this reason to stall.

It would be too unkind of me to try to fob him off when my senior brother has already been so considerate and considerate.

"Senior brother, please spare me, don't get me drunk!" Fang Ziye said, holding up his wine glass and cupping his hands.

"That depends on your performance. Look, there are so many people here. There's Yan Zhiming, and your classmate Li Yuanpei."

"I won't say much about the other junior brothers, they have to be mindful of your feelings, but what about the three of us?"

“You’ve only explained me clearly, that’s not enough, is it?” Wang Yuanqi said in a condescending tone.

……

Wine glasses crossed.

In fact, Fang Ziye wasn't forced to drink alcohol; it was only one and a half cups, about three ounces.

It's slightly intoxicating, but not enough to make you drunk.

At this moment, Wang Yuanqi had the air of someone who was intoxicated even without drinking: "Ziye, I really envy you. You have achieved great success in both scientific research and clinical practice. You are better than us senior brothers."

"I estimate that after you go back, the personnel department will start preparing to discuss your contract. They'll finalize your job before you graduate."

Hearing this, Yan Zhiming said, "Brother Qi, you actually have a chance. Ziye can rise to great heights, but you can also ride the wave of success."

Yan Zhiming was a first-year doctoral student, during the period when Fang Ziye was making great strides. He didn't have much of a relationship with Fang Ziye, so he wasn't credited in Fang Ziye's published articles.

However, Li Yuanpei, Fang Ziye's classmate, and Wang Yuanqi both failed three times.

Don't underestimate the third author of this article!

Simply getting involved with this team is enough to put it on your resume.

But after all, it's only his third work. If Wang Yuanqi wants to try his best to stay in the hospital, he still needs to produce more works, but there's a good chance he can do that.

After all, Wang Yuanqi's professional skills are quite strong; he was recruited as a PhD through a professional talent introduction program.

"I don't know yet, but for now, there is definitely an opportunity."

“But I estimate it’s very unlikely, since Ziye will graduate in the same year as me, right?” Wang Yuanqi suddenly said.

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this and did not respond.

At the same time, Yan Zhiming and Li Yuanpei both breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The other junior disciples stared blankly at Fang Ziye and Wang Yuanqi, as if they were watching two tigers fighting, except that Fang Ziye was a real tiger, while Wang Yuanqi was a tiger-colored cat.

How can these two possibly compete?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Yuanqi said, "Come on, let's finish the last bit, and then we'll go wait for the car."

"No matter what, we're still good brothers, and our future cooperation and communication will continue as before."

"I'll take the liberty of saying a few words here, following Senior Brother Sun's example and upholding my status as the eldest senior brother!"

"Whether it's looking for a job or competing for a spot in a doctoral program, it's not the end of our friendship, it's just the beginning. Gu Yi and I have long since come to terms with this."

"Speaking of which, it's fate that we're all in the same class at the same age. That's a kind of fate that's hard to explain."

"Right? I'm so lucky to have met so many outstanding fellow disciples, including Senior Brother Sun, and Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei, whom many of you may not know. They're all the same."

"From now on, when we go to our senior brother's place, at the very least, we'll be provided with food and lodging..."

Sun Shaoqing is a PhD graduate from the previous year, while Lin Xuanlei, the senior student Wang Yuanqi mentioned, is a PhD graduate whom Fang Ziye only met once when he first arrived as a graduate student.

Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi has never met Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei; he probably only knows about him through hearsay.

Everyone nodded and shared a drink.

Then the dinner ended, and I took a taxi to the train station...

On his way back, Fang Ziye suddenly discovered!

It seems like I'm all alone again.

The masters who needed him to stay have left, and his fellow disciples have also returned home. Fang Ziye is still the same Fang Ziye, except that he has an additional title of Special Prize. Other than that, there is no difference.

After the glitz and glamour, all that remains is ordinariness.

There was no hustle and bustle, no glory; he was just an ordinary person who walked down the street and nobody recognized him.

Fang Ziye had just thought that when he was proven wrong.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Fang." Someone greeted Fang Ziye.

Turning around, he saw a nurse from the operating room of Enshi Central Hospital walking towards the residential area with her best friend, holding milk tea and waving to Fang Ziye with a smile...
