Chapter 514 Chief Expert (Please Subscribe)

The National Day holiday was both a bit long and a bit short.

The weather is changeable; the bright sunshine of the first few days of the holiday has turned into a light drizzle.

Occasionally, raindrops would patter against the glass window, making Fang Ziye, who was lying on the bed in the general inpatient office, unable to sleep.

Today is the evening of October 8th, the last day of the National Day holiday.

Unable to fall asleep, Fang Ziye yawned and sat up, rubbing his eyes and checking the time.

It's still early, not even eight o'clock yet.

The crackling sounds outside continued unabated, and the dim lights under the night sky made it a perfect place to sleep.

Fang Ziye took a bottle of chilled drink from the small refrigerator, opened it, and took a big gulp before feeling a bit more refreshed.

"Knock knock knock!" A knocking sound rang out.

Fang Ziye was bored, and when he heard the knock on the door, he didn't immediately push it open and enter, so he knew it wasn't someone he knew: "Please come in."

"Teacher Fang, there are two people looking for you in the office outside."

"One says he's your uncle, the other says he's your father, Teacher Fang," Hu Qingyuan said in a low voice without pushing the door open.

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this. He put the drink on the table, then quickly opened the door and went out.

Without even having time to change out of my work clothes, I ran to the doctor's office.

The double doors of the office were wide open, and two middle-aged men sat inside, each with a wet checkered umbrella at their feet.

Even with an umbrella, their shoulders were still wet.

One of them was wearing green leather and black rubber liberation shoes. The shoes were new and very clean, but the backs of his feet were a little damp.

He was wearing black cloth trousers and carrying a brownish-yellow leather bag, which was bulging inside.

He was not tall, had a small frame, and even a somewhat small head. He was slightly hunchbacked, with a prominent dowager's hump. His hair was sparse and grayish-white. He wore a jacket and looked very simple and honest.

After nearly a year apart, Fang Ziye noticed that he had more wrinkles on his face, and more importantly, his eyes looked cloudy and bloodshot...

The moment he saw him, he saw him too.

"Little Ye!" Fang Nan straightened his shoulders and tightened his brownish-yellow bag.

"Little Ye'er".

Beside him, his uncle Liang Renyi called out his nickname.

Xiao Ye'er is a nickname that my mother's relatives often use to call me. However, it's not commonly used when I'm with my uncles, aunts, or grandfathers.

Fang Ziye's thoughts were a few seconds slow before he quickly composed himself and replied, "Dad, Uncle, what brings you here? You didn't even call me beforehand?"

"So I can come pick you up?"

After hearing Fang Ziye call for someone, Hu Qingyuan confirmed the other person's identity and quickly went to prepare tea and other necessities.

"Your father and I just came to see you," Liang Renyi said with a smile.

"We came on a whim without telling you beforehand..."

Fang Ziye quickly said, "Dad, Uncle, did you bring any clothes? Your clothes are all wet, shall we go and change?"

"I have spare clothes in the department!"

Fang Ziye couldn't understand why his father and uncle would suddenly visit him. He just felt a little sorry for his father coming to Han City to see him so late.

Fang Ziye did frequently call and video chat with his family to report on his progress, and he also shared his achievements with them.

Logically speaking, he could be considered somewhat 'successful', and his father's sudden attack caught him completely off guard. Moreover, he looked so pitiful, and at this moment, Fang Ziye felt a strong sense of guilt.

There must be something I didn't explain clearly to him that's causing his father so much worry.

"It's okay, we brought clothes. We can change later." Fang Nan gestured to his bag.

Fourth Uncle Liang Renyi, on the other hand, carried a different kind of large leather bag, the kind that could hold a lot.

"It's alright, Dad. We shower in the ward. You should go change your clothes; you're all wet and you might catch a cold."

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Let me order some takeout for you guys first..." Fang Ziye's first thought was to ask his parents if they had eaten yet.

This feeling is somewhat similar to when parents call to ask if you've eaten, slept, or are dressed warmly enough.

When we are far apart, the first thing I think about is whether they have eaten enough.

"No need, no need, wait a minute?" Fang Nan was about to refuse again.

Fang Ziye said, "I've already ordered. You guys wait a bit. It's getting late, and I'm at work right now. Otherwise, I would have gone out to eat with you."

"But it's raining outside too."

As Fang Ziye spoke, he led the two to the chief inpatient office. On the way, Fang Ziye sent a message to Luo Tingzhu.

Ask Luo Tingzhu to help me book a hotel room online across from the medical school of Han City University, preferably a suite.

It wasn't that Fang Ziye couldn't afford to book two rooms, but rather that he knew that even if he did, they would complain about the price and cancel the booking.

It would be better to just book a suite, with two bedrooms and two beds. Since the money's already spent, Dad definitely won't refuse...

After escorting the two into his office, Fang Ziye personally guarded the door for them.

After Luo Tingzhu asked about the basic situation, Fang Ziye sent a message to explain: "My dad and my fourth uncle suddenly came to Han City. They just arrived."

"I don't know the reason yet, but I guess they came by car, not by train."

Luo Tingzhu immediately said, "Would you like me to take your uncle and your maternal uncle out for a meal?"

“I can have Lan Tianluo go with me.”

"Let's not use it for now. I'll find out why they came..." Fang Ziye replied.

"Just let me know when you've booked the room. You can book it directly with my ID. The hotel is only 20 meters from the emergency room, so I can get there anytime. It's no problem," Fang Ziye replied.

"Okay!" Luo Tingzhu made an OK sign and then disappeared.

Fang Nan opened the door. He had already changed into his striped long-sleeved sweatshirt, but his pants weren't too wet, so he didn't change them.

I didn't bring my shoes, so I didn't change them.

My own uncle was in a similar situation.

Fortunately, Fang Ziye had spare shoes here. Regardless of whether he had worn them or not, he simply gave each of them a pair and carefully packed their shoes in garbage bags.

"Dad, the shoes are all put away. I'll take them back to wash tomorrow. Please sit down and have some water. This is tea prepared in our office; it tastes pretty good." Fang Ziye explained as he saw Hu Qingyuan bring in the tea.

The two quickly got up to thank Hu Qingyuan, then looked around and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Liang Renyi said, "Ziye, you have no idea how frightened your parents are."

"Your dad hasn't slept for several days."

"Huh? Why?" Fang Ziye was a little stunned.

Then he looked at Fang Nan and said, "Dad, if you have any questions, you can call me and ask directly."

"Can you get through to your phone? It's been busy the whole time," Liang Renyi said.

Fang Ziye thought about it for a moment and realized that he had indeed stopped using his phone for a while.

However, Fang Ziye added, "Dad, didn't we just have a voice call on WeChat a couple of days ago?"

What are you worried about?

Fang Nan was very embarrassed, his face flushed red.

Fang Nan has always been a rather slow-witted person, finding it difficult to express himself quickly; he is honest and simple.

Uncle Liang Renyi told the truth: "It's because someone from next door said they saw you on TV and that you were a victim of telecom fraud and might have been tricked into going abroad."

"So now that you've been deported, you're even saying with such conviction that everything you told your parents was a lie, and that a regular doctor would never make the news?"

"The news about your possible deportation happened to capture you in the footage..."

"After this person said that, your parents started calling you, but they couldn't get through."

“You only had a voice call with them a few days ago, but didn’t video call them. You said you were busy, and they started to worry unnecessarily.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye was utterly astonished: "Huh?"

"On TV?"

"Oh, you mean that program on Longtai Technology Channel, right?"

"No, this program is a documentary on the technology channel. What does it have to do with any news about deportations due to telecom fraud?"

"Dad, who told you all this?" Fang Ziye asked.

"The car repairman across the street," Fang Nan said, immediately identifying the other party.

Fang Ziye knew him!

When Fang Ziye went home before, he knew this "King of Knowledge," who boasted of being well-informed, spoke with great clarity, and was very enthusiastic in helping people analyze many things.

In local parlance, he's a 'silly talker'.

Fang Ziye took a deep breath, sat down opposite Fang Nan, reached out and carefully took Fang Nan's hand before saying, "Dad, what's this?"

"I don't know what to say."

“Being interviewed by Longtai Technology Channel and having a documentary filmed was originally a very good thing. How did it turn into me being a victim of fraud and deportation when it came to you?”

Don't you ever watch it again yourself?

Fang Nan looked up and said, "You didn't say anything either?"

Fang Ziye was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded: "I'm sorry, Dad, I haven't told you this before."

"But how could scammers possibly video chat with you every week and give you updates?"

"Look, isn't this the room where I usually video chat with you?"

Liang Renyi continued, "Yes, your neighbor across the street said that this room looks like a small dark room. Look inside, besides the bed, there's only this small refrigerator."

"You've never even video chatted with them from home..."

Fang Ziye did not video chat with them in Luo Tingzhu's rented house, mainly because it was too inconvenient.

That was Luo Tingzhu's home turf, and traces of Luo Tingzhu can be found in almost every place.

Many of the colors, including the chairs, are cute and adorable, making it seem like a boy's room.

Luo Tingzhu hadn't even met them yet, so Fang Ziye didn't dare say that he was living with her.

His parents were very conservative. Even though he was a boy, if his mother found out that he was living with Luo Tingzhu, he would be criticized for a long time and might call Fang Ziye frequently to complain.

You should respect girls; she's someone else's daughter too. If you're dating, you can go out together, but you can't live together...

That's just how the old man thinks, and Fang Ziye can't say it's bad.

"Dad, it seems you trust that uncle over there more than your son, me?"

"Is it because I said I would come back for May Day, but I didn't, that you started to have doubts about me?"

"The main reason is that I applied for early graduation and just started working, so it was basically a seamless transition..." Fang Ziye said in a serious tone, 'talking nonsense', but a strong sense of guilt rose in his heart.

I went out and had some fun during the May Day holiday.

Fang Nan shook his head, then shook his head again: "We'll trust you from now on."

Fang Ziye continued, "So, Dad, you were worried about me, so you insisted on inviting my uncle to Zhongnan Hospital in Wuhan. He saw me in the trauma surgeon's office at Zhongnan Hospital, which I told you about, before you were sure I hadn't been abducted or scammed?"

Fang Ziye presented the information very clearly.

A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles; perhaps this is the generation gap.

Technology is developing rapidly, but our parents are still far behind in keeping up with this pace of development.

That 'uncle' across the hall is a lunatic too. He's half-knowledgeable and half-mistakenly meddling in everything.

Is appearing on TV really a case of being scammed and deported?

What about playing?
Fang Nan stopped talking, and after calming down, he looked at Fang Ziye and laughed.

Then, she went out with Fang Ziye to see his work environment and gave him a thumbs up: "Xiao Ye, this is what it feels like to work in an office. You're protected from the sun and the rain."

"No matter how dry the sky is or how crack the earth is, you will definitely receive some salary."

My parents' biggest expectation of me was that I wouldn't have to rely on the land for a living. Other than that, they didn't have many expectations or hopes for me.

In her parents' eyes, the fact that she could work in the town's hospital meant that she had already escaped her original social class.

"Dad, that's true."

"Now that you've seen it, are you relieved?"

“Dad, I’ve realized you haven’t really remembered the ‘suffering’ I told you about. I’m a chief resident now, which means I’m always in the hospital!”

"If I'm not in this small office, where else can I go? Even if I rent a place outside, I still have to live here, that's the principle."

"Also, the reason I haven't told you about that documentary is because I've been too busy lately, and explaining being on TV is too complicated."

Liang Renyi asked eagerly, "Ziye, what have you been busy with?"

"Can you really be that busy?"

Fang Ziye nodded: "It really is, Uncle. I'm not trying to excuse myself. Please take a look at my call records first..."

Fang Ziye then showed his call log.

Looking at the more than 1,000 missed calls and the 100 to 200 answered calls over the past eight days, Liang Renyi fell silent.

Because he was literate, although he didn't know much, he roughly knew that the names Fang Ziye had noted were far more powerful than the directors of Enshi Central Hospital.

"These?" Liang Renyi pointed up and down. "Yes, they are all seniors and teachers. We discussed some issues together, namely the miniature circulation device that Longtai Technology Channel reported on before."

“They all came for this…” Fang Ziye explained softly.

After chatting with my father and uncle for a while, the takeout arrived.

Fang Ziye ordered four dishes for the two of them, plus an extra serving of rice. Less than five minutes into the meal, Fang Ziye's phone rang again…

The call was from Deng Yong. Fang Ziye put down his bowl and chopsticks and explained, "It's my master calling. I'll take this call first."

"Go ahead and get busy," Uncle and Fang Nan quickly said, as if afraid of delaying Fang Ziye.

"Master!" Fang Ziye hadn't gone far.

"Ziye, are you in your office now? I'll come find you right away. I've already taken care of some of your paperwork. If all goes well, you can leave after your final hospitalization in October..."

"Here are some documents that you need to sign," Deng Yong said.

"Master, let's sign tomorrow. My dad is here, and I'm having dinner with him in the office now. I'll take him to the hotel to rest later, and it's getting late," Fang Ziye politely declined.

Normally, signing the agreement sooner would put my mind at ease.

Deng Yong said, "Huh?"

"okay!"

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Deng Yong said with a smile, "Take good care of your father; he raised you so well."

Deng Yong thought Fang Ziye's father had come specifically to celebrate Fang Ziye's birthday, and had no idea of ​​the actual situation.

After Fang Ziye hung up the phone, Fang Nan said, "Ziye, don't worry about me. Your uncle and I will find a hotel to stay in later. I saw a lot of hotels nearby when I came here."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye joked, "Uncle, you can be my witness. My dad said I don't need to take care of him, not even when he gets old."

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he sat down and continued eating with everyone.

Liang Renyi raised his fist and joked, "Fang Nan, I told you before, you and Ziye have video chatted, voice chatted, and made phone calls. You definitely weren't locked up. You still don't believe me?"

"You insist that I come with you, don't you think?"

"Have I caused you trouble?"

Faced with Liang Renyi's manipulation of his father, Fang Ziye immediately felt sorry for him: "No, Uncle, my dad didn't cause me any trouble. It's just that I didn't explain things clearly."

If my parents had been any more careless, I might have been scammed without them even realizing it.

It is precisely because they care too much about themselves that they become confused by their concern.

"Dad, Uncle, I've booked a hotel for you. I'll take you there later, okay?"

“I don’t rent a place right now. The lease on the place I rented before has expired, and I’ve hardly been home since. You guys can just make do for now.”

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow I'll have Tingzhu take you all out for a nice meal..." Fang Ziye said with a smile.

In the past, Fang Ziye might have taken his father with him.

However, even if Fang Ziye is sitting on pins and needles, he must keep his bottom firmly within a radius of several hundred meters of Zhongnan Hospital.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to stay calm and composed, and not to act recklessly as before.

As I said before, when you're unknown, even if you're a PC (professional PC), at most people will only criticize you a few times.

But if you gain some fame and have a stain on your record, even just a tiny one, it could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Tingzhu? Is she your girlfriend?" Liang Renyi asked.

Fang Ziye nodded: "Yes, Uncle."

"You can stay here for a day or two before going back, but my job prevents me from leaving the hospital right now, otherwise I would have taken you out to have some fun," Fang Ziye explained.

Liang Renyi said, "Fang Nan, it's actually not bad that you can see your daughter-in-law in advance on this trip."

Fang Nan shook her head and said, "It's not appropriate. Ziye isn't here. Why should I look at someone else's daughter?"

"Ziye likes her, and her family doesn't mind. She's my daughter." Fang Nan didn't look.

"If Ziye likes it, I'll definitely be satisfied too, so let's not bother her. When the time is right, Liang Xia and I will watch it together."

Fang Nan is a very conservative person. Fathers-in-law avoid their daughters-in-law, let alone before the other party has even married into the family.

Fang Nan would absolutely never meet with someone alone.

Fang Ziye: "..."

This trait of my father and mother is both good and bad. The good thing is that they are very polite, but the bad thing is that they are too rigid...

That's why Fang Ziye didn't dare tell them about living together; he would really be scolded.

……

At 9:30, after Fang Ziye booked a room for Fang Nan and the others, he quietly gave Fang Nan a bank card.

He said, "Dad, there's 300,000 yuan in here. It's a talent introduction reward that the hospital gave me when I was looking for a job. Actually, it was also issued by the province."

"You and Mom can take it back and use it..."

"Keep your own money..." Fang Nan quickly refused.

“I have money. This is a bonus I received while working. I also have a salary, which is more than 20,000 yuan a month. I have saved more than 100,000 yuan. I feel it is not appropriate to carry so much money on me.”

"You and Mom take a look at the house and see which places need repairs, and then do those repairs. We'll be bringing Tingzhu back with us later."

"Then you're going to buy a house?" Fang Nan asked hesitantly.

"My company is giving me a house as a reward." Fang Ziye simply stated his position in a way that the other party could understand.

He bought a house himself, and his parents wouldn't interfere much anyway. Fang Ziye's current savings are indeed enough to buy a house.

I'll go after I finish my resident visit.

"The renovation will take a long time, and you and Mom will need to come over and help me keep an eye on it," Fang Ziye said.

After hearing Fang Ziye's explanation, Fang Nan hesitated for a moment before putting it away.

She said, "I'll save this money for you. Your mother and I originally prepared this money for you to use as a down payment for a house."

"Your company gave you an apartment, but you don't need it for now. You can save it for when you get married..."

"When you have time, ask the woman's family how much they want for the bride price. Don't ask for too much; our family isn't well-off either," Fang Nan said.

I'll tell you when the time comes!

"Dad, you should rest first. I'll go back to work now."

As Fang Ziye spoke, he couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache as he looked at Fang Nan's aged appearance, which was completely different from the "middle-aged" man he remembered.

"Dad, get some rest. Don't work so hard in the future."

Fang Nan quickly waved his hand: "You should go to work right away. If you're getting paid, you should be worthy of that pay..."

……

At 7:00 a.m. the next morning, Fang Ziye received a call from his uncle.

Uncle Liang Renyi and father Fang Nan have already boarded their car for the return trip and are almost on the highway.

"Uncle, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you stay a few more days?" Fang Ziye said.

"You're at work too, and you still have to spend money on a hotel."

"I asked last night, and the hotel you booked for us costs over nine hundred a night. Who can afford a room like that?"

"Your dad and I are relieved to see that you are doing well at work and in good health."

"I've already criticized your parents for you!"

"Not only are they uneducated, but they also like to overthink things."

"They're just too concerned to think straight. We can't let them make that kind of blunder again."

"Also, I've already told your mother to go out and chat with others less in the future. It's easy to spread rumors, but it's exhausting to refute them..." the uncle said.

"Uncle, have you had breakfast yet?" Fang Ziye asked quickly.

"We've already eaten. We went out and had a bowl of hot dry noodles," the uncle said.

Fang Ziye held back his thoughts, because the hotel actually offered a free buffet breakfast.

"Uncle, please be careful on your way."

"I'll see if I can come back for Chinese New Year this year," Fang Ziye said.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye called his mother again and explained for a while. Then Liang Xia started cursing and swearing on the phone.

"I told you, what could he possibly know? He's just a middle school student, he can read a few words, what does he know about scams or anything like that?"

"Ziye, was the TV show you were on really amazing?" Liang Xia asked.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye knew that Liang Xia was just trying to show off.

He shook his head and said, "It's alright, it's not that bad."

"Just making a simple record!"

“If they were truly powerful, the entire county would probably be coming to you and my dad.” Fang Ziye gave them a fairly clear answer.

Actually, the miniature circulation device that Fang Ziye has developed is already good enough to be promoted as a model.

There has been no movement for a long time.

Fang Ziye didn't care. As long as he did his best and had a clear conscience, fame and fortune were just external things!

The mother, Liang Xia, was slightly disappointed, but she also said, "It's okay if you're just average. Being on TV is an honor anyway."

"Ziye, you go to work first. I'll ask your dad and your uncle what's going on."

Liang Xia was far away, so she wanted to hear more about Fang Ziye.

Afraid of disrupting Fang Ziye's future as the only member of the Fang and Liang families to go to a big city, they didn't even dare to make too many phone calls.

"Okay!" Fang Ziye hung up the phone.

It was already 7:30.

But Deng Yong arrived at the department very early!
He left the Department of Trauma Surgery for more than three months, and now he has returned. After switching places with Liu Huanglong, he has once again taken up the position of administrative director of the Department of Trauma Surgery.

This is the first time Deng Yong has returned to the position of administrative director in almost two years since he was removed from it last year.

However, despite the long separation, Deng Yong's professional skills and authority remained undiminished.

Yuan Weihong had already applied for the overseas visit before National Day, and at the end of the National Day holiday, he boarded a plane to the United States.

Yuan Weihong chose to study at the Mayo Clinic in the United States for a year...

Naturally, there were few changes in the personnel in the department. Apart from Nie Mingxian leaving, most of the others were still there, and there was also Jie Han, who had returned from the animal laboratory.

In addition, there was Ning Wuyang, who had emerged from the basic laboratory, and Hu Qingyuan, Fang Ziye's long-term apprentice.

……

At the handover meeting, Professor Deng Yong didn't waste any time, simply saying, "All the current systems are exactly the same as when Professor Liu was in charge. There will be no adjustments or changes to personnel or work assignments."

"Ziye is still the chief resident of three groups!"

"However, once Ziye is discharged from the hospital, he must return to normal and can only work within one group."

"Therefore, I hope everyone can cherish this hard-won opportunity and learn more from Ziye..."

After quickly handing over his shift, Fang Ziye was quietly led by Deng Yong to the director's office.

The two leisurely brewed a pot of tea and then slowly took a sip each.

Deng Yong lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Ziye, make sure you read the signature section carefully!"

"From now on, when people talk about it, they'll know we're people of status."

"The National Health Commission and relevant education departments have specially approved your dual associate professor titles. Our school's Science and Technology Development Department has also highly recognized your research achievements and given you the treatment of a full professor."

"After you sign all this, you won't just be a junior resident or attending physician anymore; you'll truly become an associate professor."

Fang Ziye carefully read the contents, a smile playing on his lips, his heart filled with a sweet feeling.

"Master, is it enough to just sign these documents and fax them out?" Fang Ziye asked in return.

"It's not that easy. I need to find someone to stamp it, and I need to find several well-known experts and academicians to sign their names. After that, it has to be sent to the right place."

After Deng Yong finished speaking, he gently shook his head and said, "This will take some time, but the waiting process is worth looking forward to."

"In addition, due to the strong intervention of the National Health Commission and the attention of the education department, some relevant departments in the province have already contacted our hospital."

"It's too early to say what the final outcome will be!"

"But right now, the only thing your master can guarantee you is that, starting in October, your performance coefficient has increased from an unknown amount to 2.5!"

With a performance coefficient of 2.5, the monthly performance bonus should be at least 2.5. After deducting social insurance and housing fund contributions, the amount received should be around 3 yuan.

If you add in the mentorship subsidies and other miscellaneous expenses, Fang Ziye's monthly income could very well exceed 40,000!

In the medical industry, the threshold of going from 3 to 4 is extremely difficult to overcome.

Many people may never break through this barrier in their entire lives.

How could someone who has been a doctor for ten thousand years possibly have such a high income?

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye grinned and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"No need to thank me. You should thank those benefactors who helped you."

“During October, the Wuhan Medical Association will lead an autumn academic conference entitled ‘Symposium on Limb Implantation Surgery,’ and you will be the chief expert…” Deng Yong looked at Fang Ziye with a mixture of satisfaction and envy.
