Chapter 505 A Vivid Lesson and a Rare Gem (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing this, Deng Yong's face stiffened, and the mole on his chin twitched slightly.

Then he chuckled and said, "Professor Qiu, you're overthinking it. If Ziye is willing to go with you, he'll definitely have a better future."

Why would I be afraid?

Deng Yong was absolutely confident that Fang Ziye would not leave Zhongnan Hospital.

If Fang Ziye wanted to leave, he would have left long ago. His accumulated experience and resources are more than enough to serve as a pledge of allegiance in any academician team.

As early as a year ago, virtually no research group in China would refuse to accept a talent like Fang Ziye.

Qiu Zhenghua, Gu Yuandong, and the others exchanged knowing smiles.

The group then walked downstairs to the laboratory building, chatting and laughing.

As they descended the elevator, Deng Yong and Liu Huanglong personally cleared the way for the elderly professors, their faces beaming with warm smiles.

Fang Ziye only saw Gu Yuandong whisper a few words in Professor Qiu Zhenghua's ear before walking out of the elevator and starting to chat with Deng Yong and Liu Huanglong.

Yuan Weihong, Lan Tianluo, and others inserted themselves into the group of Professor Zhou Yuan and others, ensuring that none of the senior professors felt isolated or that Zhongnan Hospital was discriminating against them.

As the group was almost out of the laboratory building, Qiu Zhenghua suddenly asked, "Ziye, are you coming with us too?"

Fang Ziye smiled shyly upon hearing this: "Teacher Qiu, you came especially for me, so of course I will try my best to spend time with you."

"Thank you so much, Professor Qiu, for your guidance!"

Fang Ziye smiled broadly, trying his best to suppress his inner joy, and spoke in a low and calm voice.

However, Qiu Zhenghua, who was opposite Fang Ziye, suddenly changed his expression, his voice turned cold, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes: "If I really am here to investigate your unit's administrative system!"

"Don't even think about getting a promotion for the next five years. Even the head of your ward will be working themselves to the bone!"

"Nonsense!"

"You should have politely declined when Director Zu Haiguo called you the first time. Who do you think you are?"

"Is it a direct relative of some leader? Who are you able to keep in check?"

Qiu Zhenghua's attire and appearance were exceptionally amiable; he looked like an ordinary old farmer. Suddenly, he launched another attack, and his voice was chilling, which startled Fang Ziye and the others!
Gu Yuandong and the others were drawn back by Qiu Zhenghua's voice, their faces bearing a half-smile.

They seemed to be watching a good show, or perhaps they were lamenting that someone like Fang Ziye had appeared in such a small workshop, and there wasn't a single person around who knew the rules.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye lowered his head, his mouth moved for a while, but he couldn't utter a single word in response.

Whoever comes is a guest, and whoever comes is an academician who needs to be received.

What does the reception have to do with you, Fang Ziye?
As Qiu Zhenghua said, how extensive could Fang Ziye's network of relatives be?
Fang Ziye was just an ordinary employee of Zhongnan Hospital, and was completely subject to the hospital's management system.

According to the inpatient management system of top-tier hospitals in China, inpatients should be on duty in their departments and, in principle, should not be too far from the hospital.

Even in the event of an emergency, if you need to request leave, you must go through the relevant department of the medical affairs office. Only after the relevant department coordinates with the department and publishes the duty roster can you hand over your work.

Qiu Zhenghua continued, "I won't go into detail about the misuse of funds within the research project, but I still feel it's necessary to give you a very vivid lesson."

"For a long time to come, you'll experience what it feels like to have the fruits of your labor taken away by others."

"Not only me, but also Professor Gu Yuandong will spare no effort to turn the miniature circulation device developed by your research group into their own patent."

"Let's see if you can hold out!"

"Completely arbitrary, with no sense of rules and no sound regulations."

“We asked you to take us to your lab, and you did.”

"We asked you to share your research findings with us, and then you told me everything in great detail?"

"Who taught you? Your two masters?"

"Alright, fine, I'd like to see just how capable they are, and how much they can cover for you!"

After Qiu Zhenghua finished speaking, he glanced at Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong with disdain. His eyes revealed not only contempt but also a sense of looking down on them.

It is the father's fault if he raises his child without teaching him; it is the teacher's laziness if he teaches without strictness!
Fang Ziye, such an outstanding person, was completely turned into someone outside the professional training system under the guidance of these two people, and he was just messing around!
Professor Qiu Zhenghua's words caused Deng Yong, Liu Huanglong, and the others to slightly darken their expressions.

Then, somewhat surprised, they looked at Professor Gu Yuandong, Professor Zhou Yuan, and others.

However, Gu Yuandong's expression tightened slightly at this moment, and he said, "Professors, don't be nervous. This is just an exercise, and also a lesson for Ziye."

"After all, there are some things that you can't truly understand unless you experience them for yourself."

"I believe that many rules and regulations, whether written in documents or on paper, are far less profound than those that are memorized."

"It's impossible to truly take what's yours away."

"We're all getting on in years, and Director Zu is right here. How can we not care about our reputation?"

"However, even if it's just an exercise, even if we hold back, I think you'll still find yourself in a difficult situation!"

Gu Yuandong then added, "Criticizing without teaching is also misleading students."

"Ziye, you shouldn't show up at the dinner later."

"Remember this: from now on, no matter how big or small the inspection is, if you don't take it seriously and don't even bother to play along, why should anyone believe you have professional ethics?"

"You're still sticking to your post even when there are no inspections?"

"In other professions, leaving one's post without permission might at most be for financial gain, but in our profession, leaving one's post without authorization is tantamount to endangering lives!"

"Economic issues are not something that can be resolved simply by not putting money into one's own pocket."

"It's a matter of character. Just because you didn't have any problems and your surgery went very well doesn't mean you're safe and sound."

"Gossip can be a terrifying thing!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye bowed deeply to the two professors.

Honest advice, though unpleasant to hear, is beneficial!

The two academicians were not Fang Ziye's teachers, and therefore had no obligation to explain these principles to him.

Furthermore, if Fang Ziye were to fall, his disciples and followers would be rid of a major enemy!
In clinical surgery, surgical technique is undoubtedly the most important factor.

However, in the course of daily work, only by adhering to proper procedures can the legitimacy of the outcome be guaranteed.

One phone call can get your hospital's chief resident out for dinner, and another phone call can get him out for drinks.
Is this something that simply doesn't exist just because you say it doesn't exist?
After that, Fang Ziye walked away dejectedly towards the orthopedic building without saying a word, feeling ashamed and forlorn.

Regardless of whether Professor Gu and Professor Qiu brought it up, Fang Ziye was well aware that he had become somewhat dissolute after receiving Professor Zu Haiguo's call.

Upon hearing that two academicians were visiting him, he felt incredibly important and superior, and thought he should personally go out to accompany them.

At that moment, Fang Ziye was only thinking about getting rid of his job, without considering his own identity or whether it was appropriate for him to go out.

In most cases, Fang Ziye was able to stay true to himself. For example, when his master took him out to eat, it was just a fast food meal before they went to have a big meal.

But this time, when Fang Ziye heard that they were two academicians, he completely lost himself.

"To forge iron, one must be strong oneself." A teacher once told Fang Ziye that, in addition to competence, doctors must also be of good character.

Professional ethics is one aspect of personal character.

Fang Ziye also heard his two teachers, including Professor Liu Huanglong, apologizing to the two old professors, but he still did not turn around.

These two professors weren't targeting me personally; they were genuinely pointing out some problems with my research group...

Perhaps, great joy and great sorrow are truly just a matter of a single thought.

Fang Ziye had a smooth journey for a long time, encountering several good teachers and even gaining the appreciation of the dean, so he overlooked some minor details.

In Fang Ziye's view, how could the two academicians possibly take credit for his work?

The other party's character is certainly trustworthy.

However, now, these two academicians are telling Fang Ziye that not everyone can be trusted unconditionally, including them.

Fang Ziye can't figure out how the two senior academicians managed to steal his research group's "output".

But Fang Ziye had no doubt about the two old professors' abilities!

At 5:52 PM, Fang Ziye arrived at the department.

The braised chicken rice I ordered at noon is still in the stairwell corridor; no one has taken it. It's cheap and not particularly healthy, so other people probably don't want it.

Fang Ziye didn't even think about killing it anymore; he simply twisted it up and threw it into the trash can.

Then, Fang Ziye immediately sent a message to Luo Tingzhu.

Fang Ziye's message had just been sent when Luo Tingzhu replied: "Senior brother, I haven't gone to eat either. I'm heading towards the orthopedic building."

"Don't worry, after you left, the two senior academicians were still quite amiable. They were just trying to teach you, not to make things difficult for you!"

"Lan Tianluo and Senior Brother Li Yuanpei both went to dinner. If anything important happens during the meal, they will take notes and relay them to you later!"

After reading the message, Fang Ziye did not reply, but instead pushed open the door to the chief resident's office!
Inside, Wang Yuanqi, a senior student, sat up from his lying position. His face was filled with envy and jealousy as Fang Ziye was favored by the academician. He then flipped over and punched Fang Ziye several times.
"Ziye, don't forget your senior brother after you take off!"

Fang Ziye smiled upon hearing this: "Senior brother, thank you for your hard work. You should go and rest first. Leave the rest to me."

Have you eaten yet? Would you like to order takeout together?

"Let's skip the meal," Wang Yuanqi shook his head.

He asked with even greater curiosity, "Ziye, what did you talk about with those two academicians today? Did they praise you highly?"

"Have you poached anyone?"

Deng Yong and Liu Huanglong were both cautious when facing academicians, feeling there was a significant difference in their ranks. Wang Yuanqi, currently only a resident physician and at the bottom of the medical profession, was naturally very curious about such a figure.

"I praised him, but I also criticized him."

"It was mostly sarcastic remarks, though I did mention digging a few times." Fang Ziye's gaze was calm, and his tone gradually returned to normal.

After saying that, he let out a long sigh of relief, and his mind became clear.

None of this is a major disaster or putting me in a difficult situation; it's just that I've been verbally abused.

If someone criticizes you, it means that someone still cares about you.

It wasn't that her two teachers didn't care about her, but rather that their understanding of these matters was somewhat limited.

Or perhaps Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong have too little experience, so sometimes they don't treat certain rules as a sword hanging over their heads, giving off a small workshop vibe!
Wang Yuanqi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in a surprised tone, "Really?"

"You got scolded? What about everyone else? They'd be driven to despair by all that scolding!"

Fang Ziye smiled upon hearing this: "I suspect so. For example, my two masters are definitely getting a scolding right now!"

Fang Ziye could easily guess that once his two masters went to the dinner party and the door was closed, they would likely be ridiculed.

Someone has emerged from this remote mountain village, and you all start messing around recklessly, thinking you know everything and having no sense of rules.

Forget it, I can't control these prescriptions anymore.

If you make a mistake, you have to admit it!

At least, the advice the two elderly people gave me today is worth a fortune!

Rules are not a game!

Secrets should not be revealed to others casually!
Wang Yuanqi clicked his tongue for a while, then shook his head as he walked out of the office: "Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Perhaps the perspective of such a big shot is really completely different from that of ordinary people?"

"Fine, I won't touch on your sore spot."

Fang Ziye's mood was not high, which meant that even if he was praised, he might actually have been reprimanded.

If they were to gossip at this point, it would only make Fang Ziye feel uncomfortable.

Not long after Wang Yuanqi left, Luo Tingzhu pushed open the door and walked in. At first, she hesitated a bit when she pushed the door open, but after entering and seeing that Fang Ziye was actually smiling, she quickened her pace.

"Senior brother, I thought you were still upset!" Luo Tingzhu came to comfort Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye examined his phone and asked, "Tingzhu, what would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything." Luo Tingzhu didn't offer any suggestions today, and she wasn't picky about food.

After entering, Luo Tingzhu found a chair and sat down. Then, while looking at Fang Ziye, she took out her phone to reply to messages from Li Yuanpei and Lan Tianluo.

"The teacher and Teacher Yuan were severely scolded," Luo Tingzhu said.

"Then I'll just order the grilled meat rice." Fang Ziye seemed to be nonchalantly letting the matter drop.

Luo Tingzhu nodded obediently: "Roasted meat rice is fine too. Teacher and Teacher Yuan were both scolded terribly, and you didn't react at all, senior brother?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Of course not, it's just that I don't have any better solutions. The two old professors are like invincible beings right now."

"We have many flaws, and there's nothing we can do about being criticized so harshly. We can only work on making up for them slowly in the future."

"Moreover, my two masters will not hold a grudge against me because they were scolded."

"Isn't it?"

By looking back, Fang Ziye easily discovered that people at each level understand things and see things from completely different perspectives.

Compared to Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong from Zhongnan Hospital, the people and things I encountered at Enshi Central Hospital were even more hilarious.

Therefore, there is no need to feel that the masters you have met are not good enough. They are not much older than you, nor are they old foxes. They still have blind spots in their vision.

Everyone needs to learn.

"Senior brother, I noticed that you've changed a bit after you were scolded today. You've become more composed than before."

Luo Tingzhu then tilted her chin again: "Not just some, there are many, as if they were woken up by a scolding."

Fang Ziye nodded: "Perhaps, I feel my mindset is a bit different now."

"Leaving everything else aside, we are all just ordinary people."

“Before, because I had achieved some results, I gradually felt that I might be different from others, that I would be valued by teachers and leaders, and that I could bring a lot to my fellow students.”

"But that's not actually the case. The reason I have so much is because I have accumulated more experience, not because I'm a special person."

"Accumulation, achievements, these external things show the gap between us and others, but if we put these aside, we are all just ordinary people."

"In any profession, in the end, besides external factors, what matters most is one's character!"

"If it weren't for the two professors pointing this out to me today, I'm afraid I would have taken a big fall on this path."

Luo Tingzhu sensed something unusual: "Senior brother, according to your understanding, the two professors today are just ordinary people?"

"Yes!"

"Neither Professor Qiu Zhenghua nor Professor Gu Yuandong are superhuman, nor were they born academicians. All their achievements are the result of their hard work and perseverance."

"Professor Zhou Yuan, and several other professors, all progressed step by step. It's not necessarily that Professor Qiu and Professor Gu were far ahead of them, but rather that they just happened to take an extra step forward."

"Perhaps, it could be for other reasons."

"It's just like a celebrity's scandal!"

"So, I won't be thinking about any special promotions anymore. I'll just be a doctor and a researcher."

"That's probably why I achieved what others only dream of."

"Retreat to advance, gain without fighting!" Fang Ziye said.

This topic actually touches on a philosophical level.

Luo Tingzhu did not delve deeper into this topic, but she had actually learned quite a bit.

In Luo Tingzhu's view, or rather, in the view of many people, no one dares to say anything about Fang Ziye's current achievements, even if he is a little arrogant.

He's under thirty, yet possesses national-level skill!
In terms of expertise, even among those who are not the same age, how many people can surpass Fang Ziye?
However, if Fang Ziye becomes arrogant because of this and overlooks some details, any problem in any link could leave loopholes for him, eventually turning him into a controversial figure.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to be honest and straightforward, and go back to doing things diligently like we did in our student days.

Luo Tingzhu also felt that she should do the same in the future.

"It's clear that the two professors like you quite a bit. During their conversation, they gave you a lot of hints that they hope you can join their research group."

"But you rejected them all, so they had to resort to this rather forceful method to give you some guidance!"

"It's possible that the team the teacher led wasn't high enough in rank, so they hadn't been properly tested and didn't pay much attention to the details."

Luo Tingzhu continued, "When Associate Professor Hong Zili was still in the teacher's large research team, it was noticeable that his fellow students were more academic than Professor Deng's fellow students."

"..."

After having dinner with Fang Ziye, Luo Tingzhu chatted for a long time before returning home around 9 p.m.

After Luo Tingzhu left, Fang Ziye took a moment to clear his mind.

It's that kind of serious emptying of the mind, not thinking about anything, not pondering anything.

Around 10:40, Fang Ziye had finished relaxing and was about to turn on his computer to continue reading literature when the door to the chief resident's office was pushed open.

Then, one after the other, two large, dark-faced people entered—

Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong.

Upon entering, Yuan Weihong proactively took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, handing one to Deng Yong and the other to Fang Ziye.

Yuan Weihong took another bottle, then looked miserable.

Deng Yong doesn't usually like drinking beverages, but this time he unscrewed the cap and gulped down several mouthfuls: "Ziye, I have to say, an academician is indeed an academician. His perspective on things is damn sharp."

"After you left, they came up with a full fifteen questions, making me want to bury myself on the spot."

"Let alone me, even Liu Huanglong, this young talent with an academician father-in-law, is probably feeling depressed right now."

Fang Ziye then showed a hint of surprise, his tone slightly incredulous: "Fifteen more questions?"

Yes!

"This includes, but is not limited to, imperfect management systems in laboratories and incomplete management and operational systems in departments."

"Of course, after several senior professors brought these things up, I realized that the reason why Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Kyoto Third Hospital, and Huashan Hospital are famous hospitals is not simply because they have many experts."

"We still have a long way to go!"

"Talent is the most important thing, but it's not the only one. First, we probably need to adjust and optimize our internal staffing."

"For example, we can expand the establishment of trauma centers, set up specialized trauma center wards, and entrust all hand surgery cases to hand surgery professionals."

"As several senior professors have said, our hospital's orthopedics department now has a rough diamond, but whether it will turn into a gem or a worthless lump depends on our own efforts."

"They can't keep coming forever! And other problems are bound to arise in the future!"

"This is fucking difficult!" Deng Yong, disregarding his status as a teacher, started swearing.
