"Master, no, why would reporters from Longtai come to our animal laboratory? We haven't heard a thing!" Fang Ziye asked in the chief inpatient's office.

Longtai, reporter, animal testing laboratory.

The combination of these terms is really bizarre.

"I don't know either. Wu Xuanqi just sent me the message."

"Director Liu called, he probably just found out about the situation. Shall we head over there first and then see what happens when we get there?"

"No matter what, we must first do a good job in receiving guests," Yuan Weihong said.

This happened far too suddenly.

The largest official media outlet that Zhongnan Hospital can access is Hubei TV or Hubei Science and Technology Channel.

Reporters from Longtai come to Wuhan for interviews, but instead of going directly to Union Hospital and Tongji Hospital, they come to Zhongnan Hospital. What kind of treatment can they expect there?

"Okay, Master." Fang Ziye quickly hung up the phone, then tidied his clothes in front of the mirror before rushing out of the department without taking off his white coat.

After leaving, Fang Ziye made a phone call to the doctor on duty, telling him to call him anytime if there was any situation in the department.

These days, Zhongnan Hospital doesn't tolerate any accidents.

Even so, Fang Ziye was still worried, so he simply called Wang Yuanqi and asked him to help look after the department.

Even under normal circumstances, we can't joke about the condition of emergency patients, and we can't afford to delay treatment. Now that there are reporters from Longtai here, if someone dies here, it will really cause a huge uproar.

But whether it was a joke by God or not, all the coincidences came together.

Just as Fang Ziye left the orthopedic building and headed towards the animal laboratory, he reached the shade of a tree in front of the medical complaints reception area when the phone rang again.

Fang Ziye had assumed it was his mentor Yuan Weihong, or Director Liu Huanglong, or Deng Yong, or perhaps his friend Nie Mingxian or Wu Xuanqi.

Unexpectedly, the caller ID showed "Teacher Zu" as the contact name!

Long-lost memories flooded back: a year ago, when Fang Ziye was working in the countryside in Enshi, he met a very important old man.

For a long time, the two had no contact with each other. But today, at this special moment, Teacher Zu actually called him.

He thought that he had saved his life once before, so he couldn't be that the visitor had ill intentions.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Fang Ziye's expression changed from conflicted to calm, and he answered the phone: "Hello, Professor Zu, this is Fang Ziye."

"Dr. Fang, it's been a long time. I'm so glad you still remember me." Teacher Zu's tone was very kind and friendly.

"Professor Zu, I have to thank you for recommending me to the experimental zone back then. Otherwise, I might not be where I am today," Fang Ziye said politely.

Back in Enshi, Fang Ziye was able to enter the laboratory of the sanatorium because Teacher Zu recommended him to the old Chinese medicine doctor Chen.

After securing a spot, Fang Ziye was able to complete the animal experiment model of HK2 gene knockout in Enshi. This model has since been ordered by many research groups for use in experiments.

There are no substantial results yet, but once there are, they will inevitably be discussed in the paper previously published by Fang Ziye.

"Opportunity is just a threshold; the ultimate achievement depends on one's own efforts."

"The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you. Dr. Fang is so outstanding now mainly because he is very capable."

"I just got back from Hubei Province and then I received another recommendation for you, Dr. Fang. I just got the news yesterday and I was thinking of organizing a group of old guys to come and see you."

"I would also like to take this opportunity, in my personal capacity, to thank you once again for saving my life."

"This time it will be relatively formal." Teacher Zu's voice and tone were very serious.

If Fang Ziye hadn't tricked him into going to the hospital that time in Enshi, the grass on Teacher Zu's grave would be almost half a meter high by now.

He had an intracranial hemorrhage and no family members were around. If they waited until the body started to decompose and was discovered, the mosquitoes would probably have already had three offspring!

"Teacher Zu, you're too kind. It was nothing more than a small favor," Fang Ziye said hastily, pausing as he carefully considered his words and tried to decipher the other party's intentions.

Teacher Zu, however, went straight to the point: "It's lunchtime now. Dr. Fang, do you have some free time to have lunch with us old folks? We can also recommend some senior colleagues in your field to you."

“You may not know the others, but you should be familiar with Professor Gu from Shanghai and Professor Qiu from Kyoto.”

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this.

Among the professors Fang Ziye was familiar with, there were none with the surnames Qiu and Gu. If one had to name two people Fang Ziye was familiar with, it would only be one-sided acquaintances.

Fang Ziye swallowed hard and asked, "Professor Zu, you're not joking, are you? Are you talking about Professor Qiu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Professor Gu from Huashan Hospital?"

Professor Gu is an academician of hand surgery, a professor of surgery at Huashan Hospital, and a doctoral supervisor.

When Fang Ziye was performing functional reconstruction surgery, he had read all of this old professor's works.

Even disregarding his academic papers, the awards he received for some of his original techniques alone are enough to dominate the world!

In 1985, "Arterialized Sural Nerve Transplantation with Venous Pedicle" won the third prize of the National Invention Award; in 1987, "Vascular Variations and Management in Toe Transplantation" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.
In 1990, the "Diagnosis and Treatment of Brachial Plexus Injury" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award;
In 1993, "Contralateral C7 nerve transfer for brachial plexus root avulsion" won the second prize of the National Invention Award;
In 1996, "Flap Repair of Limb Wounds" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award;
In 1998, "Basic Research on Tissue Transplantation" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award;
In 2005, the "Transfer of Long Segment Phrenic Nerve and C7 Nerve for the Treatment of Brachial Plexus Root Avulsion Injury" won the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award...

Gu Lao has received seven national natural science medals. The progress of hand surgery in China today is entirely inseparable from his contributions.

Academician Qiu of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is a top expert in trauma surgery and spinal surgery, with a focus on spinal surgery. He proposed a unique classification of scoliosis and has won two second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

Compared to them, Fang Ziye's current achievements are not even worthy of carrying their shoes.

"They are the ones you mentioned, Dr. Fang."

"This time, after I saw the recommendation for you, I immediately handed the materials over to these two professors. Unexpectedly, they were even more interested than I was."

"We hurriedly organized a team of experts to come to Han City to see you."

"And the event was organized rather suddenly, so I didn't tell you in advance. Are you available now?" Teacher Zu said with a smile.

Fang Ziye was very clear that if it really was Elder Gu and Elder Qiu, they understood very well the benefits that this kind of damage would bring to the development of orthopedics. It would help the top medical level in China to stand at the top of the world again, just like the limb replantation surgery of that year.

Moreover, China's technological level is now different from what it used to be, and it will no longer allow the market associated with that new technique to be divided up by outsiders due to technological limitations.

China will no longer just be the winner of honors, but will also receive tangible benefits.

"Gulp, gulp!" Fang Ziye swallowed twice, then asked, "Teacher Zu, where are you?"

"I'm the chief resident now, so I need to hand over the responsibilities briefly before I come to visit you again," Fang Ziye said very politely.

Just kidding! Back then, Fang Ziye dreamed of learning from an academician's team for a period of time.

Now that Elder Gu and Elder Qiu have come specifically for me, it would be unreasonable for me not to meet with them.

Any interviews will have to be postponed.

Senior academicians have very limited time. In fact, if they were willing to accept advertisements, the advertising fee could conservatively be calculated at 100,000 yuan per minute.

"It's not far from here. We landed in Wuhan last night and took a walk around the area around Zhongnan Hospital this morning."

"We're currently in a private business room on Han Street. I'll send you the address via text message..." Teacher Zu's attitude was still very polite.

Two o'clock.

First, Fang Ziye is his savior, and he should help him when the time is right.

Those who have a certain status are rarely ungrateful for being saved.

Second, Fang Ziye is incredibly awesome. The things he sent out directly shattered the door of the academicians, causing the two of them to run away 'madly'.

If Fang Ziye's research findings weren't of considerable importance, they certainly wouldn't have reached this level.

"Okay, Professor Zu, please wait a moment!" Fang Ziye swallowed.

On one hand, there was an interview with a reporter from Longtai, and on the other hand, Professor Zu called with two academicians, inviting him to dinner. Fang Ziye chose to take care of the latter's feelings first!

After Fang Ziye hung up the phone, he immediately called Yuan Weihong and quickly explained the situation. Yuan Weihong stopped breathing.

"Master, Master. Do you think I shouldn't go?" Fang Ziye continued to call out, waiting for Yuan Weihong's response.

Teacher, you're my mentor! You have to show some respect! I can't just tell you I'm going to the animal lab one second and then disappear the next!

Yuan Weihong took several deep breaths on the other end of the phone before slowly saying, "To be honest, Ziye, I have never had any experience receiving such an important person before."

"Professor Deng Yong doesn't have it either. You should definitely go, but you might want to ask Professor Liu Huanglong."

"However, thinking about it, if you had told Professor Liu that those two had come to the vicinity of Zhongnan Hospital, he would have personally gone with you to greet them."

"I'm just not sure if you're suitable to take care of outsiders."

Yuan Weihong quickly helped Fang Ziye go through the relevant thought process!

Yuan Weihong didn't know who Professor Zu was at all, but that didn't stop him from knowing about Professor Qiu and Professor Gu.

The fact that the other party sent messages to Fang Ziye privately, not through the medical affairs department of Zhongnan Hospital, not by having Dean Wang accompany him personally, or through leaders from the publicity department or academic affairs department of Wuhan University, suggests that there was another reason behind it.

This visit is likely a private one; I don't want to make too much of a fuss for now.

There's a saying that goes, "The higher you're lifted up, the harder you fall; you might even fall to your death."

If you start by hyping up Fangziye or the team at Zhongnan Hospital in a big way, and the results don't stand up to scrutiny, it could lead to a situation where you become a hot topic on the internet at many points in time.

It will make official media look very awkward!

Medicine is not the media and does not require such a large amount of attention. Before doing anything, it is natural to conduct thorough investigations.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye said, "Master, I think I should call Professor Liu. I believe I might be able to get some guidance from him."

Liu Huanglong's father-in-law was, after all, someone of that level, so Liu Huanglong should know some skills and experience in dealing with such people.

It doesn't necessarily require groveling, but rather a form of respect.

For example, if Fang Ziye goes to the county hospital for a consultation surgery, the hospital won't even answer the call. They'll just give him an address, and he has to take a car there, find the hospital, and find the operating room himself.

Once you're on the operating table, you still have to prepare your own instrument pack? Does that make sense?

"Okay, go ahead."

"Remember not to say anything carelessly." Yuan Weihong really didn't know how to advise Fang Ziye, but he did find a bottom line for Fang Ziye.

Don't say anything carelessly.

This includes, but is not limited to, boasting.

……

Fang Ziye called Liu Huanglong, who was coming out of the operating room.

"Ziye, I'm downstairs at the surgery building now. Where are you?"

“Let’s go to the animal laboratory together.” Liu Huanglong seemed to know Fang Ziye’s purpose immediately and asked directly.

Fang Ziye said, "Professor Liu, I'm currently between the internal medicine building and the orthopedics building, but I probably won't be able to go to the animal laboratory."

"Hey! What are you doing..." Liu Huanglong's tone became disordered subconsciously.

I thought Fang Ziye was up to something.

Fang Ziye interrupted, "Teacher Liu, I called you to explain this matter. About five minutes after I received my master's call, I received another call."

"Professor Qiu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Professor Gu from Huashan Hospital said they've arrived in Wuhan and are currently in Han Street. They asked me to come over for dinner and a chat..."

Fang Ziye kept it brief.

The reason for mentioning Kyoto Concord is that there is another Concord in Han City, and Liu Huanglong came from Concord. This is to make it easier for Liu Huanglong to distinguish between them.

The first person Liu Huanglong identified with was Gu Lao, an absolute giant in his field and a legendary figure in hand surgery, who was also the person Liu Huanglong most wanted to become and emulate.

After pondering for several seconds, Liu Huanglong calmed down, and his breathing became regular: "Did these two professors only specifically ask you to go alone?"

"For now."

“But Professor Liu, these two professors are here for our research group’s project, and they will definitely come to the department, the animal laboratory, and the basic laboratory later. That’s my personal guess,” Fang Ziye said uncertainly.

Liu Huanglong sighed softly. Although his voice was very pleasant, it was still picked up by the microphone and clearly and accurately sent into Fang Ziye's ear canal.

"Then go!" Liu Huanglong understood and instructed, "Tell the whole truth, no need to be too modest, and absolutely no arrogance!"
