top student at medical school

Chapter 530 Dr. Fang, it's so hard to see you! (Please subscribe)
Jin Hongzhou sat in the consultation room, wearing a white coat. Opposite him sat a peculiar bald man, dressed in a hoodie and denim jacket.

Fang Ziye could only see his back, and the reason he was considered special was because his scalp was wrinkled and covered with red bumps!
If a comparison must be made, Fang Ziye's childhood scalp might resemble that of "Qiu Qianchi" from the TV series.

Qiu Qianchi only wore a scalp prop, but on this older brother's head, it was the real thing.

Fang Ziye also noticed that there was a wig on his right, and he kept grabbing and kneading the wig with his right hand, his movements were particularly stiff.

The hoarse voice sounded very strange: "Dr. Jin, I've come so many times, how come Dr. Fang is available today, but never before?"

Jin Hongzhou glanced up and saw Fang Ziye appear at the door. He looked up and said, "Ziye, you're here!"

Following Jin Hongzhou's words and gaze, the man turned around.

The man's face made it impossible to tell his exact age. Several prominent keloid scars stood out on his forehead, his eyebrows were completely gone, and his eyelids were pulled apart, making one eye larger than the other.

He was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but there were fleshy bumps on his neck.

From head to neck, there is no normal skin color to be seen.

As he turned around, you could see that his hands were still roughly the same shape, but his fingernails were gone, and his hand movements were quite stiff.

"Brother Zhou." Fang Ziye stepped inside, enduring the man's scrutiny.

The man's strange voice reached Fang Ziye's ears again, adding a touch of surprise and doubt: "Dr. Jin, is he Dr. Fang? Could there be a mistake?"

Judging from Fang Ziye's age, the man was no more than thirty years old, or at most in his early thirties.

In his view, an expert who is highly regarded by others must be a mature middle-aged man of at least forty, or even fifty, to be worthy of his status.

Jin Hongzhou then introduced, "Guo Zhou, this is Dr. Fang, the one you're looking for. He's the only one in our trauma surgery department right now, and he's the one you mentioned. He's an extremely skilled doctor."

Jin Hongzhou was probably quite familiar with the other side, so he didn't use any official jargon when introducing himself.

“Ziye, this is Guo Zhou. He has actually come to see you many times.”

“But you know, this is a trauma center, an emergency room, not an outpatient clinic, so I don’t have any particularly good solutions,” Jin Hongzhou said.

The person opposite him was of a rather special status, but since it wasn't life-threatening and there was no emergency, he couldn't very well send the person directly to the trauma surgery department.

Nowadays, trauma surgery is a highly watched field, and it's not a place Jin Hongzhou dares to send patients to casually.

There are even rumors that the trauma surgery department has now become the second ward for high-ranking officials in Zhongnan Hospital.

Fang Ziye smiled and introduced himself: "Hello, hello. I'm Fang Ziye."

“I’ve always been the chief resident, in charge of ward affairs, so I’ve never had the opportunity to go to the emergency room or outpatient department.”

"Who are you looking for?" Although Fang Ziye heard Jin Hongzhou relay the other party's request over the phone, he still needed to verify it in person to be sure.

Although Fang Ziye was dressed in casual clothes, he had become more composed after a series of events. He remained unfazed by the praise from Jin Hongzhou, who was older than him!

The man had also worked within the system. Fang Ziye's demeanor was either due to a wealthy family background that instilled in him the air of someone in a superior position from a young age, or it was due to his hard work and perseverance that he built his empire step by step.

If someone who has always been number one gets number one again, and you ask them how they feel, they will ask you in return what kind of feeling you want.

However, if someone who has always been ranked in the twenties or thirties suddenly gets first place, he will be very excited and nervous because this result is too different from his previous results.

"Dr. Fang, I'm so glad I've finally met you!" The man's eyes darted around a few times before he quickly regained his pleading expression.

"I've always heard my colleagues and superiors speak highly of you!"

"My name is Guo Zhou. Guo is the Guo of Guo Jia, and Zhou is the Zhou of Shenzhou. It's different from the Zhou of Dr. Jin Hongzhou." He spoke slowly, with an odd tone, but he tried his best to make his voice sound calm.

Fang Ziye said, "Then I must thank your colleagues and superiors for their praise! I'll go in and put on a work uniform first."

Fang Ziye also had a uniform hanging in the trauma center clinic, just for the convenience of previous consultations.

"Okay!" The man sat down again.

When Fang Ziye came out again, he was wearing his white coat, but he wasn't wearing his name tag. Fang Ziye's name tag is currently on leave in the trauma surgery doctors' lounge.

"Hello, Guo Zhou, could you briefly describe your situation?"

“I see you’re standing quite well,” Fang Ziye asked.

Guo Zhou then recounted his past.

About a year ago, Guo Zhou was participating in a fire rescue operation when the gas cylinder exploded while he was walking towards it to turn off the valve.

An outburst of anger swept over his upper body, and he was immediately taken to the ICU of Peking Union Medical College Hospital for treatment.

He survived, and after undergoing burn surgery, he retained some of his functions. However, he also lost much of his future prospects and was on the verge of retirement.

The current resettlement of firefighters is not easy either.

More importantly, Guo Zhou also had a tough time. He wanted to have a daughter, but his first pregnancy resulted in twin sons, so he decided to try again and have a daughter.

As it turned out, his wife was very helpful and gave birth to twin sons!
After the birth, Guo Zhou's family felt both joy and worry.

But the child has already been born, so we can't just abandon him, can we?
With four children in the family, and twins breastfeeding together, it's simply not enough to satisfy their hunger; formula alone costs six or seven thousand yuan a month...

"So, you mean you hope to save more functions through surgery, then be placed in a better position and earn more money?" Fang Ziye directly paraphrased his words in a more straightforward way.

Upon hearing this, Guo Zhou, though embarrassed, nodded honestly.

“Dr. Fang, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If I only had two children, my wife and I could still afford to support them after I left the military.”

"Our wages are not enough to make us feel like we'll starve."

"But Dr. Fang, four? And four sons at that. When I leave the military, I'll have to consider the salary issue."

“That’s right, I also feel the pressure is extremely high!” Guo Zhou said.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he definitely wouldn't have tried for a daughter with his second child. Look at how far he's gone, to the point where he's risking his life.

Many jobs can only provide you with a relatively comfortable life, but will never make you extremely wealthy.

The reason why it's relatively comfortable to be well-off is that if you're just an ordinary civil servant and have to support four children, aren't you just asking for trouble?
After swallowing a few times, Guo Zhou slowly said, "Dr. Fang, I have consulted many, many hospitals and seen many professors and experts, and they all advised me not to do anything."

"Because even surgery might not be helpful, and you might end up suffering unnecessary surgery."

"My colleagues and my boss also suggested the same thing."

"But it's true, the reality doesn't allow me to just give up. If I can't switch to a higher-paying job, I might have to start my own business without any other options!"

"But Dr. Fang, you also know that starting a business is a much bigger pitfall. If it goes well, all is well, but if it doesn't, and one of my children starves to death, or my wife suddenly can't stand living with me anymore, I won't blame her at all..."

Starting a business is risky!
Fang Ziye said, "Based on your current physical condition and your wishes, I would also advise you not to have surgery."

"Surgery is, after all, a trauma and a blow."

"Furthermore, Guo Zhou, do you know that your current demands are not really related to simple health, but rather belong to the category of 'bodybuilding'?"

"From a medical perspective, as long as your function is not significantly different from that of an ordinary normal person, there is no indication for treatment."

"The claim that one performs surgery for a higher salary and more physical strength is unfounded."

Guo Zhou is currently able to eat, sleep, walk, and move around, and he does not have any unbearable pain symptoms.

It can be said that he has recovered quite well and can run quite well.

The vocal cords were affected, and so was the appearance.

"But Dr. Fang, I used to run very fast. My physical strength was much stronger than it is now. Back then, in our team, none of the other brothers dared to challenge me."

"Now? I'm not even at the bottom of the class. Besides, with these hands, I can only hold chopsticks and cook a meal. If I were to participate in any mission, I wouldn't even be able to hold a water pipe properly." Guo Zhou stretched out his 'slender' hands.

Guo Zhou, not hearing Fang Ziye's refusal, tentatively asked, "Dr. Fang, you have a solution, right? You didn't just kick me out like the other professors did after listening to me!"

"You must have a way."

The saying "long illness makes one a doctor" may not be entirely accurate, but after numerous medical visits, Guo Zhou did develop the ability to read between the lines of a doctor's expression and demeanor.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "No, no, no, you've misunderstood."

“I certainly can’t kick you out. Besides, as doctors, we should listen to our patients’ voices. It’s wrong to kick people out.”

"But I can't perform this surgery on you either. It might not meet your expectations!"

Regarding functional rehabilitation techniques, Fang Ziye currently only has a plan and has not yet conducted corresponding theoretical research and derivation.

This requires a long time to purchase property.

A new surgery is not something that can be done just because you want to. Even if Fang Ziye's basic skills are stronger than before, he can still use his basic skills to regain some of the functions he has.

But surgery is surgery, and basic skills are individual operations.

Off-pump suture is a type of suture, which is something that a typical surgeon might not be able to perform.

Guo Zhou immediately grasped at this as if it were a lifeline, saying, "Dr. Fang, please tell me your concerns or thoughts; I'm open to them!"

Guo Zhou actually wanted to say, "Dr. Fang, there's something I've never told you, and Jin Hongzhou hasn't told you either. That is, he and I still have a complicated relationship."

Guo Zhou's wife is the niece of Jin Hongzhou's maternal grandfather's brother!
Although the relationship is somewhat distant, at least there's some connection.

In Han City, having this much connection is enough for the two families to interact.

Perhaps because their relationship wasn't very close, Jin Hongzhou didn't try his best to push him towards Fang Ziye. But because their relationship wasn't too distant, Jin Hongzhou also told him about some other topics.

Fang Ziye is very capable and is currently working on performing this type of surgery. If you are willing and in a hurry, you can try to see Dr. Fang.

"What do you mean by 'can be discussed'?" Fang Ziye laughed.

"Brother, this isn't about business, nor is it because I don't want to perform the surgery for you; it's about this surgery itself."

"Let me put it this way, this surgery is not mature yet, do you want to be a guinea pig?"

"Clang!~"

"I'll take a gamble. If it works, great; if it doesn't, I'll just go into business!" Guo Zhou said.

Guo Zhou noticed the strange looks from Jin Hongzhou and Fang Ziye, and quickly explained, "Going into business. Going into business."

"Society is too superficial these days, and some words have been ruined. How could I dare to do those things now?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Hongzhou smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Guo Zhou, you only injured your hands and face, not your back!"

Vigorously miracle!
Turn off the lights, cover yourself with the blanket, is it your face that the rich woman wants to enjoy?

Fang Ziye shook his head again: "If that's the case, I don't think this surgery is suitable for you."

Thank you for your trust!

Fang Ziye suddenly felt immense pressure!
If the other party wants to undergo functional rehabilitation surgery because of their personal dreams or career pursuits, Fang Ziye might consider it.

He just wanted to earn more money, because if he couldn't earn more, his family would be starving!
This kind of pressure is about the most basic issues of food and clothing; how could Fang Ziye dare to accept it?
"I can't do it!" Fang Ziye said with absolute certainty.

Upon hearing this, Jin Hongzhou glanced at Fang Ziye and, still being quite sensible, advised, "Guo Zhou, you've seen Dr. Fang yourself, and you've already talked to him."

"Since Dr. Fang has said he can't do it, then he definitely can't do it. Don't force him to do something he doesn't want to do!"

Although Jin Hongzhou didn't explicitly state his relationship with Guo Zhou, he must have had his own opinion.

Fang Ziye's abilities have long surpassed his, and now his status and position are extraordinary. Although Jin Hongzhou and Fang Ziye are not fellow disciples, they have at least formed a good relationship.

If managed properly, he might one day become a professor leading a research group. He didn't want this matter to directly affect his relationship with Fang Ziye.

Guo Zhou remained silent for a while, then looked up at Fang Ziye.

Because he could no longer lift his eyelids: "Dr. Fang, do you look down on me, which is why you're unwilling to perform the surgery?"

"Or are you afraid I'll cause you trouble?"

"My current state has nothing to do with you, Dr. Fang, does it?"

Fang Ziye was indeed thinking the same thing, and said, "Guo Zhou, your surgical request is too vague, or rather, too general. I don't even know what your specific goals are."

"How can I do it?"

"When patients and doctors have different expectations and goals, it is very easy for disagreements to arise."

"For example, even if I perform surgery on you, when you eventually change jobs, you still won't be able to choose a better technical position."

"I can't explain it clearly either?"

It's virtually impossible for Guo Zhou to transfer to an administrative position!
Although there is no explicit requirement for administrative positions to have a presentable appearance, one cannot be too inappropriate either!
At least so far, Fang Ziye has not seen a single leader whose face is completely disfigured!
It's possible that Fang Ziye himself lacks experience, but he also feels that there might be unspoken rules in this regard.

You don't have to be good-looking, but you can't be too scary.

However, it would be uneconomical to undergo cosmetic surgery for this, because his burns have damaged the skin to its core, and even cosmetic surgery might not be able to fully restore his health!
"Dr. Fang, just do your best, I won't pursue the matter."

"Because no matter how bad or terrible it is, at least I have something to fall back on," Guo Zhou said through gritted teeth.

Given his current situation, he's just imitating someone and has won an award. Even if he's not doing well, they won't fire him directly; at most, they'll transfer him to a less demanding position!

As long as Guo Zhou doesn't die, he'll have some income every month, and it's the kind that guarantees a stable income regardless of drought or flood.

This is the bare minimum, but it's still slightly better than being a factory assembly line worker.

Fang Ziye stopped speaking.

Guo Zhou continued, "Dr. Fang, you have no idea how many times I've come to see you. I'm here sincerely seeking treatment."

"I came here to find you around August after hearing my boss's recommendation!"

"But at that time, the people here said, 'Dr. Fang, you are no longer working at the trauma center.' I wanted to go to the department to find you, but I was persuaded to leave by the on-duty doctors every time I tried."

"I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here for treatment. It's understandable that you're not available, Dr. Fang."

"However, when I went to the outpatient clinic later, your department director also said that my surgery could not be performed in the department, and even Zhongnan Hospital could not perform it. They also refused to issue me a hospitalization certificate."

"No one dares to give me a hospital admission certificate."

"But I can't give up! For my child, for the little home I built myself, I have to give it my all!"

"Later, I pulled some strings and finally got a hospital admission certificate, and also got an appointment for next year!~"

"Looking at the densely packed line of patients, I had no choice but to keep trying my luck at the trauma center. Luckily, I met Dr. Jin!" Guo Zhou recounted his medical history.

He used all his connections just to get a hospital admission certificate.

It is evident how unwelcome he is in the hospital and how unreasonable his demands are.

If the situation weren't so complicated, why would so many hospitals have been visited, yet none of them dared to treat the patient?
Some hospitals affiliated with the Putian medical system are willing to treat him and perform surgery, but he's too afraid to go!
They dared to take on cases that even prestigious hospitals like Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Jishuitan Hospital, and West China Hospital wouldn't dare to handle. There's something fishy about that!
“Dr. Fang, so…” Guo Zhou continued to plead.

……

After seeing Guo Zhou off, Jin Hongzhou said apologetically, "Ziye, I'm sorry, you just had a day off today, and now I have to ask you to help me turn away patients."

"He's contacted me far too many times. He won't stop until he finds you, the person directly responsible!"

Although Jin Hongzhou called Fang Ziye "Ziye," he actually regarded Fang Ziye as his superior!
In hospitals, professional titles are clearly defined.

In most cases, professional titles are linked to competence, except for a few individuals who rise to power through unethical means.

Especially in teaching hospitals, if you rise to a position through unconventional means and lack the ability to subdue your subordinates, then it's impossible for you to act arrogantly and domineeringly!
Those who can get by in teaching hospitals usually have connections and influence. They either leave or write complaints directly to the provincial party committee or even higher-level health departments.

So what if I just leave? What can you do to me?

It's virtually impossible to control all the junior doctors in a teaching hospital.

Doctors or colleagues like this are usually very polite, but they simply marginalize themselves and just coast along.

"Brother Zhou, you're too kind."

“If I wasn’t really unsure of how to help him, I wouldn’t have refused so decisively.”

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he asked curiously, "Guo Zhou said that he had a hard time finding me. How should we understand that statement?"

"Brother Zhou, I've never refused a call from you, have I?"

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he carefully examined Brother Zhou again.

Jin Hongzhou was much more muscular than Fang Ziye remembered. Perhaps he started going to the gym specifically after being transferred to the veterinary ward!

With medium-length hair, a slicked-back style, and a long neck, he appeared even more powerful and robust.

Fang Ziye still remembers Jin Hongzhou as someone full of vigor, talking to patients about 'slender' things. Of course, he was more composed than before.

Jin Hongzhou got up, walked to the door of the trauma center clinic, and then closed the door.

He then used his back to block the door, saying, "Ziye, you don't know this yet, do you?"

"Have you noticed that you've been getting fewer emergency room calls since you started going to the trauma surgery department?"

"You probably think that Lan Tianluo and Wang Yuanqi, the two junior brothers, are holding things together, right?"

Fang Ziye frowned, forming the character "川" (chuan).

"The fact that Lan Tianluo and Wang Yuanqi stood up for you was only part of the reason. The more important reason was that some people didn't want your elective surgery in the department to be disturbed."

"So they issued a nested order to us subordinates."

"We can call Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan, Associate Professor Yuan Weihong, Associate Professor Chen Fang, and others, but we can't disturb you unnecessarily!"

"Having someone guarantee your workload during your hospital stay, isn't that great?" Jin Hongzhou joked.

"Who?" Fang Ziye asked only one word.

Jin Hongzhou said, "It doesn't matter who it is, it might not even be the same person."

"In their view, the Department of Trauma Surgery, or Zhongnan Hospital, doesn't need another chief resident like you, but it really needs a top-notch trauma surgeon like Fang Ziye."

"What's so special about limb salvage surgery for severe injuries?"

"Functional reconstruction is the most important thing!"

"Of all the people you've seen admitted to the hospital for emergency purposes, how many have actually been admitted?"

"Those admitted to the emergency room are all from the neurosurgery, cardiology, or cardiovascular surgery departments next door!" Jin Hongzhou said very bluntly.

The most unfortunate people in the world are those at the very bottom of society.

This applies even to hospitalization.

Generally speaking, if you look at all hospitals across the country, apart from a very few exceptional cases, most of those admitted to the emergency room due to trauma are people from low-income backgrounds.

Among them, couriers, food delivery workers, and various drivers are the most numerous.

Another reason is that some people jump off buildings because they are not doing well in life, or they are unlucky enough to be hit by falling objects.

Jin Hongzhou suddenly added, "Ziye, the places where trauma occurs most often are on the streets, on construction sites, and where people rely on manual labor and passing the time to make a living!"

"This is the true essence of establishing an emergency room!"

Jin Hongzhou's statement is somewhat similar to that of Zhang Laoshi, a very well-known postgraduate entrance examination consulting blogger on the internet.

-

They won't recruit from universities like [a specific university]!
Looking back on his career as a chief resident, Fang Ziye felt that this was indeed the case.

Apart from the tough period from March to June, which involved daily emergency elective surgeries, the work was quite demanding.

Since returning to the trauma surgery department in July, Fang Ziye has taken on relatively fewer emergency surgeries.

However, there are still some, but those are damages that Lan Tianluo and Yuan Weihong cannot handle, and Fang Ziye will be allowed to take the stage.

At that time, Nie Mingxian was still around. Nie Mingxian was the first person to take Fang Ziye's place!

"Brother Zhou, I didn't know any of this!"

"Thank you." Fang Ziye, of course, had no idea that he was being protected and was the relative beneficiary!
An urgent consultation was needed, and a trauma center saw Fang Ziye on his behalf.

For consultations, Luo Tingzhu was used before, and later Dr. Li Yuanpei and Dr. Yan Zhiming helped out. Only when there was absolutely no certainty would Fang Ziye be asked to take another look.

Fang Ziye can conduct remote consultations directly after receiving their examination reports.

Someone helped with reviewing the medical records!

Besides teaching undergraduates, Fang Ziye occasionally gives classes to his junior colleagues, and the rest of his work involves functional reconstruction techniques within the department.

Fang Ziye is having a great time, after all, the knowledge points are very rewarding!

Jin Hongzhou quickly added, "I'm sorry, Ziye, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to upset you or cause you any negative emotions."

"I just want to explain the basic situation."

"I know, Brother Zhou. If we talk about things in too much detail, our friendship will be shallow."

"I've always remembered what you taught me two years ago," Fang Ziye said.

"Alright!" Jin Hongzhou waved his hand.

"We're still young, why bring up these past events?"

"Say something happy."

"You have your passport? Have you gotten your visa yet? Where are you planning to go for a trip? Or maybe a few trips?" Jin Hongzhou shifted the topic to something more relaxed.

After long hours of work, rest and vacation are the true life of working people.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "We're not going abroad. Tingzhu and I have decided. We haven't even had a chance to see the beautiful landscapes of our motherland. What's the point of going abroad?"

"We plan to travel upstream along the Yangtze River to see how far we can go by boat, to go back to my hometown and to her hometown."

"Our two-week vacation budget is gone. For the remaining two weeks, we'll go to the grasslands, then visit Mohe in the far north, and then come back to work!"

I've heard that Mohe gets colder earlier than here. If you want to see snow, November is the best time to go; December is too cold.

"That's great, swimming upstream on the Yangtze River, wow!"

"If I were Li Bai, I'd probably want to beat you up!"

"When he was in adversity, he went downstream for thousands of miles; when you were in good times, you went upstream and headed straight for Yu City..." Jin Hongzhou said enviously.

Hehe!~

"Times have changed. You can look at things the same way, so there's no need to worry about such details."

"Brother Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now," Fang Ziye said.

Jin Hongzhou opened the door and whispered, "Ziye, the Guo Zhou who just went out is my relative."

Jin Hongzhou said this when Fang Ziye was putting away the white coat.

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this, and then blinked rapidly.

Pretending not to understand: "Brother Zhou, I'll send you some local specialties in a few days!"

Fang Ziye understood.

Guo Zhou is my relative, and even he can't see you, Fang Ziye. It's even more difficult for ordinary patients.

Ziye, you've been 'supported' now, you need to be careful!

Fang Ziye really didn't have a better solution.

As I said before, if there's no better solution for the time being, just go with the flow and get by.

Once a solution is found, then we can think about how to deal with it.

After leaving the house, Fang Ziye sent a message to Luo Tingzhu: "Are you ready? Tingzhu, when do we leave?"

"I'm all set! My teacher approved my vacation!"

“But the requirement is that I must finish writing my doctoral dissertation, hahaha~” Luo Tingzhu sent a laughing emoji.

Who can understand how someone can have a month-long vacation in the final year of an eight-year program, the stage of graduating with a doctorate?
And it was approved by the boss.

Luo Tingzhu is clearly happy. At this stage, she is at most a doctoral internship, a certified internship, but not a standardized residency training program, and she is not a staff member of the hospital.

It's very easy to ask for leave; you can get it approved directly from the Academic Affairs Office of the Second Clinical College.

Students taking leave and employees taking leave are completely different concepts!
"Thank you, senior brother. I'm really grateful to you for this," Luo Tingzhu added later.

Fang Ziye said, "Why are we being so polite?"

"I feel like meeting you is my good fortune!" Their conversation gradually became increasingly affectionate...

There are direct cruise ships from Hansi to Yusi!
However, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu did not plan to take either of these trips. They were just traveling wherever they happened to be.

It would be so boring if the starting point and the ending point were predetermined from the beginning!

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu met at Luo Tingzhu's rented apartment. Luo Tingzhu had already packed both of their luggage, and all that was left was to put their computers into Luo Tingzhu's newly bought laptop bag.

While taking a taxi to the ferry terminal, Fang Ziye sent Liu Huanglong a message: "Thank you for the reminder and guidance, Teacher Liu!"

At this moment, Fang Ziye finally understood what Liu Huanglong had said earlier!
There are some things that even his teacher, Deng Yong, might not be able to cover up.

This includes, but is not limited to, this time!
Fang Ziye felt that Deng Yong couldn't possibly be unaware of this matter, but he didn't express any opinion, nor did he even tell Fang Ziye about it.

Fang Ziye could analyze that Deng Yong was doing this to protect himself, to avoid causing him trouble, and to prevent him from giving up on the matter.

However, Fang Ziye was actually feeling a mix of emotions.
People always have to grow up. You will gradually realize that your parents and your teachers are just ordinary people.

If you want to grow up, you may need to step over them.

Is Deng Yong awesome?

Of course it's awesome!
He is a professor at Wuhan University, the director of Zhongnan Hospital, and the vice chairman of the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Hubei Provincial Medical Association. He has almost reached the top position in his specialty in the province.

Under Deng Yong's protection, Fang Ziye could move freely among the vocational colleges in the province!
Who would dare to provoke or target Fang Ziye without cause?
Duan Hong won't do either!
However, is Deng Yong completely invincible?

Of course not!
Deng Yong once said that if you want to pursue an academic career, it's uncertain whether you'll become an academician. What you perceive as freedom is only relative freedom.

Most people's thoughts and actions are not necessarily what they want to do or what they are doing, but rather what they do based on their own conscience.

If that's the case, it usually means your abilities are relatively limited, or your position is extremely high!

As a doctor in a county hospital, you are free.

You can do whatever you want. You can even say that you're incompetent and can't even perform surgery on a broken bone!

Did someone hit you? Did someone force you?
Not will.

Fang Ziye had never been beaten, and no one had forced him to do anything!
Forcing people to do things—what a direct and mindless tactic!
Who among the smart ones would have a physical altercation with someone like you, a trauma surgeon who's a master scalpel operator? Others won't clash with you in any other way; they'll just take care of you completely.

You don't even realize it!

If someone hadn't taken the lead in breaking this deadlock, Fang Ziye might have taken several years to realize this!
"Senior brother, what are you thinking about?" Sitting in the car, Luo Tingzhu noticed that Fang Ziye was silent and deep in thought, so she asked him with a smile.

"I'm thinking about what to eat tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going to Yueyang City in Hunan Province. We definitely need to visit Yueyang Tower, and we'll definitely have to eat the stone pot fish by the lake."

"I wonder if there are any other unique features!" Fang Ziye didn't share his worries with Luo Tingzhu!
Seeing how happy she was, Fang Ziye certainly didn't want to spoil the fun!
Fang Ziye had thought about this question before!
A popular saying on the internet.

Saying that so-and-so hasn't experienced the harsh realities of society, or that so-and-so has!

Actually...

Most people don't even have the chance to be beaten by society; they are only beaten by life.

To get a taste of what society has to offer, you need at least one basic qualification!

Being rejected despite being significantly better than others is one of the harsh realities of society.

If you are relatively better than others but were not admitted, how do you know you are definitely better than others? Why should you be admitted?
Society is a complex entity...

Master.

Master, he did speak of it, and he even hinted at it, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

"That kind of vision is too high. Your master can no longer help you. But perhaps, one day, you will face a choice."

"Is it better to be an academician doctor or a people's doctor?"

"All of the above are just my guesses."

These were Deng Yong's exact words to Fang Ziye, and at that moment, Fang Ziye didn't understand what he meant.

But now, Fang Ziye finally understands Deng Yong's meaning. One day, Fang Ziye will have to make a choice!
……

11 month 2 day.

Friday.

Yueyang City, Hunan Province!
Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu eagerly awaited their meal at the stone pot fish restaurant, which had received the highest ratings from an acquaintance, located by Dongting Lake.

Looking at the white soup and the faint aroma of fish on the next table, Luo Tingzhu couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.

As he slowly took off his scarf, he said, "Senior brother, just by looking at the number of people here, you can tell that this stone pot fish is very authentic."

"Who did you ask to find out?"

This shop isn't located directly opposite the tourist area; it's situated in a very quiet courtyard.

Those who find this place are all local gourmets.

"I asked someone to find it, you saw it yourself! I have a lot of contacts in my phone." Fang Ziye smiled.

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he glanced unintentionally at the door and his expression changed slightly.

He blurted out, "Holy crap, how did he get here?"

"Who?" Luo Tingzhu turned her neck upon hearing this.

When Fang Ziye saw the other party, Professor Zhou Yan was being led into the courtyard by a group of people, and one of the men in his forties even said politely.

"Professor Zhou, you've worked so hard today. If you hadn't come, I really wouldn't know what to do with this patient."

"Professor Zhou, I'll need your help with that surgery tomorrow."

"This is an old establishment, Professor Zhou!"

Zhou Yan extended his long, slender fingers, and a smile appeared on his face, despite his previously furrowed brows. He said, "Director Huang, you're really lucky. Perhaps the patient's surgery tomorrow will be resolved!"

"I ran into an acquaintance, so I went over to say hello."

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, he walked towards Fang Ziye with a big smile on his face: "Professor Fang, I didn't expect to run into you here!"

"Is this Professor Fang's wife?"

Fang Ziye stood up with Luo Tingzhu: "Hello Professor Zhou, Luo Tingzhu is my girlfriend. We are not married yet."

"Professor Zhou Yan, a hand surgeon at Xiangya Hospital!" Fang Ziye introduced to Luo Tingzhu.

Fang Ziye was impressed by him for two reasons: first, because of the emphasis given by Professor Teng Qinghe, the chairman of the Chinese Hand Surgery Association; and second, because the other person was also very young.

"Hello, Professor Zhou!" Luo Tingzhu greeted him with great poise, as if she were seeing her own teacher.

"Sit down, sit down, no need to be so polite."

"Professor Fang, when I saw your message yesterday, I thought you were just asking casually. I didn't expect you to actually come."

"I happened to receive a remote surgical consultation today, and it just so happened that we met." Zhou Yan explained briefly to avoid Fang Ziye misunderstanding that he had come on purpose.

“Professor Zhou, that’s really a coincidence,” Fang Ziye quickly said.

"Professor Fang, please have your meal first. I have some things to attend to. If you're not too busy, would it be convenient for us to grab a cup of coffee after dinner?"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you some questions, Dr. Fang, and we can discuss them in person!"

"If it's inconvenient for Professor Fang, I'll ask him for advice online!" Zhou Yan said very generously.

Fang Ziye glanced at Luo Tingzhu, who quickly said, "Professor Zhou, we're free to go anytime, it doesn't matter if we leave tomorrow or the day after."

The main point of travel is freedom and relaxation. If the itinerary is arranged like a special forces mission, then the fun of traveling is lost.

"Professor Zhou, I'd be happy to learn from you," Fang Ziye said.

"See you later then! Let's chat again, I really need to ask you some questions." Zhou Yan emphasized as he turned around.
