"Professor Zhang, Professor Xie, I'm so sorry, because you arrived at the last minute, we didn't have time to make name tags for you!"

"I will take the two professors down for a meal," Fang Ziye said with a smile.

Since they are guests, the hospital can afford to treat them to a meal for two; we had already arranged it with the hotel beforehand.

Moreover, Professor Li Guohua has already sent someone to make temporary name tags, and Professor Zhang Limin and Xie Shulan's hotel rooms have also been arranged separately.

"Professor Fang, you're too kind. We can make our own arrangements," Zhang Limin said.

"Actually, I didn't plan to attend the conference this time, so we will leave after lunch."

"If I were to attend the conference, I would reply to Professor Fang's invitation."

"I wonder if Professor Fang would be available to dine with us? I happen to have some questions I'd like to ask him," Zhang Limin said.

Those who are truly engaged in academic research know how remarkable Fang Ziye is.

Zhang Limin doesn't discriminate based on profession or specialty, but he knows that orthopedic research in China is currently in a state of 'chaos'.

Because there is no orthopedics department, research progress is not good and is not as in-depth as other specialties.

However, Fang Ziye was able to create a series from scratch all by himself.

This skill is a bit too illegal.

It was based on this knowledge that Professor Zhang Limin decided to visit Fang Ziye again to seek his advice.

Once you've reached the pinnacle of academic achievement, what matters more is your thinking, your approach, and your theories, rather than your specific operational details.

"Professor Zhang, it is my honor."

Fang Ziye agreed!

He had no choice but to agree, because he had sent the invitation to Zhang Limin. Although the other party had not responded, Fang Ziye had to receive the person who had arrived.

Of course, Fang Ziye also had to explain: "Professor Zhang, however, there is a fact that, as you have seen, our research group is quite busy right now."

"Therefore, even if Professor Zhang is so kind to me, I may not be able to find enough free time to listen to your guidance."

Fang Ziye stated first, "I'm damn busy..."

Zhang Limin and Xie Shulan both became serious.

……

At 1:30 p.m., Zhang Limin and Xie Shulan said goodbye to Fang Ziye and greeted some professors from Zhongnan Hospital before leaving the hotel with their luggage.

Then I took a taxi directly to the airport.

In the waiting room, Xie Shulan bought a cup of coffee for her teacher, while she herself had a glass of lemonade.

Zhang Limin cautiously asked, "Shulan, are you sure you haven't offended Professor Fang in any way?"

"As you've probably seen, Professor Fang is incredibly busy; such a significant project is progressing rapidly!"

"This is a research project that is absolutely worthy of being included in textbooks and recorded in the history of the specialty. He would never cause you trouble for no reason."

"Unless, he happened to be taking a break from his busy schedule and happened to be watching your two papers, and he just happened to know the flaws in them."

Upon hearing this, Xie Shulan felt wronged: "Teacher, I don't know Professor Fang at all. How could I possibly have the opportunity to offend him?"

"Before this, I had only been to Han City for tourism, and that was after I graduated from high school. I hadn't been to Han City since I entered university."

"I have always studied at school and abroad."

After Xie Shulan finished complaining, he cautiously added, "Based on my understanding of Professor Fang, we can completely rule out the possibility that he is deliberately targeting me."

"There's really no need for that!"

"Just as you said, Professor Fang's current research projects are already enough to challenge your current position."

"His bullying of a researcher named Xie Shulan is completely counterproductive!"

"Perhaps this accident was truly too unexpected."

"Teacher, we cannot overlook Professor Fang's achievements in basic scientific research just because of his clinical application projects!"

"He was able to refute the standard research protocol for bone tumors with just one paper!!!"

If Fang Ziye's current research project only affects the operation of the orthopedic tumor specialty, then his previous paper will affect the operation of the entire basic scientific research community.

Is Fang Ziye targeting all researchers, making it impossible for anyone to finish their project before he does?
impossible.

Professor Zhang Limin nodded upon hearing this: "But we cannot ignore the possibility that he might actually be targeting you."

"If this possibility is true, then your future is really in jeopardy."

"Academia?" Zhang Limin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

The academic world is a rather chaotic place, and basically no well-known junior figures in China would easily venture into it.

why?
Because it's too chaotic!

An undergraduate student can be promoted to professor simply by submitting a paper.

A college student, if they have solid reasoning and evidence, can even bring down a top-tier journal published by an academician's team!

Some papers, once published, or some research findings, may be 'treasured' and not published.

The 21st century is an era in which science and technology are the core competitive advantages.

The phenomenon of "academic powerhouses with a strong academic reputation" exists, but none of them can reach the very top.

Strategic considerations would not allow such a situation to exist, so the highest level of influence Xie Shulan could reach in her family was at most a professor.

But a professor would get chills if he were targeted by a top-notch researcher, wouldn't he?

"Should be? Surely not?"

Xie Shulan playfully stuck out her tongue: "I haven't offended Professor Fang."

"He wouldn't go so far as to target me or blacklist me, would he?"

After Xie Shulan finished speaking, his brows furrowed.

Given Fang Ziye's academic level, would he really want to be blacklisted?
Will I still be able to publish articles and do scientific research in the future?

Xie Shulan couldn't give herself a definite answer.

But she just couldn't understand why she was so unlucky.

Zhang Limin clenched his fists and said, "Just recently, Professor Fang's research group had some minor issues."

"Because Professor Fang also impacted my articles, I inquired privately and it seems that Professor Fang almost had his medical license temporarily suspended by the Hubei Provincial Health Commission."

"However, Professor Fang is currently working at a 'military sanatorium,' so he is not under the direct jurisdiction of the National Health Commission, but rather under the jurisdiction of the military medical system."

"So this matter was left unresolved."

"However, there is an official document on the website of Han City University that directly addresses Professor Fang's doctoral graduation issue."

"Huh?" Xie Shulan was quite surprised.

"Professor Fang's doctoral graduation could be problematic? Then there must be something wrong with Han City University, right?"

Xie Shulan thought it was crazy. With Fang Ziye's current academic achievements, would Han City University really be so fixated on Fang Ziye's doctoral graduation?

You couldn't do something like this without a 20-year-old stroke, right?
"Just hear me out."

Zhang Limin said, "It's not that Professor Fang can't graduate with a doctorate, but that there's a problem with the doctoral graduation procedure. Professor Fang applied for doctoral graduation after only one year of study."

"However, according to the official document from Seoul University regarding early graduation for doctoral students, one can only apply for graduation a maximum of one year in advance."

"Therefore, Professor Fang's doctoral graduation certificate and degree certificate were delayed, and Professor Fang's supervisor also encountered some problems as a result."

"This happened recently, before Professor Fang wrote the letter for our research group's paper!"

"I suggest you carefully explore this direction."

"I have quite a few papers, but if you are the first author of two of them, it cannot be ruled out that they are related to this matter."

"In addition, the identity of the netizen who asked about our research group's paper during Professor Fang's live writing session can also be traced."

"They could be our competitors, just looking for an excuse to cause trouble whenever they feel like it..."

Xie Shulan nodded slowly: "Oh, okay!"

After nodding, Xie Shulan thought for a moment and then made an excuse to go to the toilet.

Zhang Limin knew that Xie Shulan was going to openly use his family connections this time, so he didn't point it out.

He accepted Xie Shulan as a student for two reasons: Xie Shulan's family background and Xie Shulan's genuine talent, diligence, and good relationships with the research group.

With the accumulation of social resources, it's quite natural that she was given the 'halo' of a genius girl!
However, fifteen minutes later, Professor Zhang Limin received a call from someone who was not in his contacts.

Zhang Limin frowned and quickly answered the call.

Opposite him was an elderly man whose identity was unknown, but he was probably in a high position.

"Hello Academician Zhang, I am Shulan's grandfather. Shulan just said that she might be being targeted by another professor..."

"What kind of situation is this kind of targeting? Is it troublesome? Will it have a significant impact on Shulan?" Xie Wucai asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Limin's expression immediately turned serious.

The only connections he knew about Xie Shulan were Xie Shulan's parents. Xie Shulan's mother was currently only a deputy director-general, and her achievements in the capital were unremarkable.

However, Xie Shulan's father, at only fifty-three years old, was already a vice-ministerial level official, though his exact rank was unclear. The school leaders, however, seemed to value Xie Shulan's father highly…

Of course, Zhang Limin's current academic standing is not something to be particularly afraid of.

He used to work abroad, and although he respects the environment in China, his current status is high enough that Xie Shulan's family would only confront him head-on if they were crazy.

"Hello, Grandpa Shulan!" Zhang Limin greeted him politely before continuing, "Shulan's expression may have had some flaws. Shulan is not being targeted or deliberately targeted."

"It is only possible that the scholar's academic level and achievements are very high, and his academic ideas are also exceptionally advanced."

"If the other party really focuses on a team, even if I were to spar with them, I would find it extremely troublesome and difficult."

"Science requires respect for facts and data. In international scientific research, no one can be the most objective judge; only data can."

“In principle, any scholar can raise questions about my research topic,” Zhang Limin said.

Zhang Limin was reminding the other party that this was a different track.

Moreover, in this arena, the idea that "nobles and high-ranking officials are born with special privileges" is brought to its fullest expression.

Zhang Limin's subtle hints suggested that he had already guessed something.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Academician Zhang!"

"I'd like to see if I can find an opportunity to meet with Professor Fang and have a proper talk to see if there's any misunderstanding," Xie Wucai replied.

Zhang Limin should have hung up the phone, but he added, "Grandpa Shulan, Professor Fang's current research topic is one of the most important topics in our academic community. Once a breakthrough is achieved, it's only a matter of time before it's listed in the academic hall of fame."

“At such a critical juncture, he should not have had time for leisure activities, and I suspect there must be a reason for this.”

Xie Wucai felt a pang of pain in Lao Dan upon hearing this: "Thank you for the reminder, Academician Zhang. I will look into it in detail before visiting Professor Fang."

……

After hanging up the phone, Xie Wu felt melancholy.

At first, he just wanted to make his granddaughter happy. He secretly manipulated things, hoping that Professor Fang could focus on scientific research as soon as possible and produce results so that his granddaughter could successfully complete her project.

Unfortunately, once the Donovan effect is triggered, it cannot be stopped.

The subsequent developments were completely out of his control.

He looked out the window with a troubled expression, then sighed, "If Shulan knew that all of this was because of me, how disappointed she would be in me?"

"Sigh..." The sigh can only be enjoyed by oneself.

……

After lunch, Fang Ziye was forced to be "escorted" to the train station entrance to pick up the leaders from Wuhan University.

There's no other reason than that these leaders were all brought in by Zhongnan Hospital for Fang Ziye's future career advancement. Therefore, as the host and 'beneficiary,' Fang Ziye had to step forward and receive them.

After all, the visitor was a leader, and Fang Ziye's progress still needed the leaders' support.

However, Fang Ziye had just arrived at the train station entrance when he received a call from Professor Gu Yuandong.

With about twenty minutes left before the train arrived, Fang Ziye made an excuse to leave.

"Professor Du, Director Du, it's Teacher Gu on the phone," Fang Ziye reported to Du Yingshan and Du Xinzhan.

Professors like Li Guohua have transcended worldly concerns and are now retired; they no longer need to curry favor with the current leaders of Han City University.

They didn't have any official requirements, nor were they particularly famous, so they didn't need to have a deep collaboration with the school. "Okay, go ahead!" Du Xinzhan checked the time.

Fang Ziye moved to a more convenient spot to answer the phone and replied, "Hello, Teacher Gu, this is Fang Ziye. Have you arrived in Enshi yet?"

"I'm already at the hotel!" Gu Yuandong's voice was still strong and powerful. "But I just received a follow-up call—"

"Members of the professional review panel for the special projects, original exploration projects guided by guidelines, and major research projects of the Medical Sciences Department of the National Natural Science Foundation of China will come to Enshi for a hearing soon!"

“Your project was submitted after the deadline for general grant applications, but it is of great significance and far-reaching impact, so I, along with some other professors, called the Department of Medical Sciences!”

"Their response is quite quick! They might offer you some financial support."

"In addition, relevant personnel from the Publicity Department and the Science and Technology Education Department of the National Health Commission will also be present for the hearing."

"The State Intellectual Property Office will also send personnel to conduct on-site hearings and promptly process patent registrations..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye trembled slightly: "Ah?"

Although Fang Ziye could foresee the enormous impact this achievement would have, he did not expect that the current situation would attract so much attention and cause such a stir.

Is this what you call an academician's connections and charisma?
Are they just bringing people directly from this kind of institution to conduct the hearing?
The reason is simple: Fang Ziye's current team has a very narrow perspective, and the only influence they can get is from the Hubei Provincial Health Commission and the Science and Technology Development Institute of Wuhan University.

Then it was reported up the chain of command.

"There's nothing I can do, someone pleaded for you!" Gu Yuandong said with a smile.

Fang Ziye was taken aback upon hearing this and immediately asked, "Who is it?"

Those who offer help in times of need should be remembered.

At this point in time, the person who gave him a push was probably not a complete stranger.

"It's probably an older colleague you don't recognize, from Tongji Hospital. Don't try to find out exactly who it is; just know the location and the direction."

"Perhaps, even in a medically advanced region like Hubei Province and Wuhan City, the field of orthopedics needs a leader to step forward in order to showcase the prowess of Hubei!" Gu Yuandong expressed himself rather cryptically.

Duan Hong's teacher?!
A senior colleague from Tongji Hospital?
After quickly pinpointing the location, Fang Ziye didn't ask any further questions: "Thank you for informing me in advance, Professor Gu!"

Gu Yuandong then asked in a tense tone, "Can the accounts be checked?"

“Yes!” Fang Ziye replied readily.

"That's good. What if you don't learn your lesson?"

"Of course, I didn't hit it either," Gu Yuandong joked, putting the topic out of the way.

He had already helped set up the stage, so if Fang Ziye died because of financial problems, Fang Ziye couldn't blame him.

Previously, Gu Yuandong found a mess of accounts, with misuse of funds within the research group. If it had been like this before, Fang Ziye probably wouldn't have died outright, but he would have been severely injured!
There's no way around it; scientific research corruption is a reality, and whoever gets caught is doomed!

This is the absolute minimum. This minimum must always be maintained like a forbidden zone, otherwise things will fall apart completely.

"Teacher Gu, thank you for your guidance, care, instruction and support!" Fang Ziye's words were sincere and heartfelt.

If it weren't for some things that happened later, Fang Ziye might not have been so sincere in his gratitude to the two old men. He would have just thought they were a bit sick and were putting on airs in front of him.

But after experiencing all of this, especially the time when he was transferred from Zhongnan Hospital to Enshi Sanatorium, Fang Ziye finally understood just how wonderful it was to have a flawless body.

He may not bring you direct benefits, but he can give the person who wants to promote you the most legitimate reason!

People have two sides; it's impossible for everyone to hate you.

But those who love you need you to give them a reason to keep you.

You're covered in festering sores, and your ass is full of poop. If someone pulls down your pants, your family can't even explain that you're not dirty.

Are there many people who are on good terms with Fang Ziye?

Lots of them!

Many people have fallen out with Fang Ziye, and some even threatened his future after he came to power. It cannot be ruled out that some people have secretly considered sabotaging Fang Ziye.

If you don't even leave room for your friends to lend a hand, how can others protect you?
but!

However, Fang Ziye gave this reason.

Moreover, on many occasions, Fang Ziye did not resort to his ultimate move, which was to ask Professors Gu Yuandong and Qiu Zhenghua for help.

As long as Fang Ziye doesn't cause any problems, even if Hubei Province unilaterally blacklists him, Fang Ziye will still have a good way out.

If they go straight to Huashan Hospital and Union Hospital, they'll be free to do whatever they want. The leaders in Hubei Province might not be able to withstand the pressure and might reinstate the ban.

At the very least, the senior professors at Zhongnan Hospital, Fang Ziye's teachers, wouldn't just stand by and watch him be slandered!

Seoul University would not allow it either.

"Do your best, and I look forward to you being free tonight so you can treat me to dinner," Gu Yuandong said without any politeness.

Fang Ziye immediately replied, "Professor Gu, wait for my call!"

Then, she added, "Teacher Gu, I'm not in the top-tier class right now."

"Hahaha, I understand, Professor Fang!!!" Gu Yuandong drawled out his voice.

Fang Ziye truly holds grudges and remembers things.

This is a good thing.

Children who listen to advice and are obedient are generally not disliked, and if they are cute, some people may even like them.

April 11th, noon, the sun was shining brightly.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye recalled a line of poetry.

One night fish and dragon dance.

However, Fang Ziye couldn't remember the whole phrase, so he searched for it before slowly reciting a single line.

"The east wind at night releases a thousand trees of blossoms. It also blows down stars like rain. Precious horses and carved carriages fill the road with fragrance. The sound of phoenix flutes stirs, the jade pot shines, and fish and dragons dance all night long!"

The meaning of the next stanza might be reversed, but that's irrelevant to Fang Ziye; what he wants to see is the previous stanza.

I have made some shortcomings and made some mistakes along the way, but fortunately, many teachers have helped me clean up the mess and fill in the gaps.

Therefore, one can feel joyful when one's career takes off.

"Has Teacher Gu already arrived in Enshi? Has he mentioned his itinerary?" Du Xinzhan asked.

"Teacher Gu has already checked into the hotel. He said he wants to rest first and asked me to treat him to dinner tonight."

"Director Du, the teachers here also need someone to receive them. Tonight, I'll take my junior brother to accompany Teacher Gu. I believe Teacher Gu will understand." Fang Ziye quickly finished explaining the arrangements.

Before Du Xinzhan could respond, he immediately added, "Teacher Gu also said that some teachers were transferred here, and they came from..."

Upon hearing this, Du Xinzhan's right leg went weak.

Du Yingshan also heard Fang Ziye's words. He glanced at Du Xinzhan and then said, "Director Du, you can go back first. I'll take care of things here!"

Du Yingshan understood Du Xinzhan's emotions at that moment.

There's no other reason than that the current situation is beyond Du Xinzhan's control; he can't manage it alone and needs to request outside help.

If a team of this caliber were to hold a hearing, at least a vice president from Seoul National University would be needed to manage it!
Du Xinzhan didn't even have time to say goodbye to Fang Ziye before he simply "picked up the bucket and ran away"!
The orthopedics department had actually prepared a contingency plan and made a report on this matter, but the number of invited guests was limited, so in the end, none of the leaders of Zhongnan Hospital showed up.

After all, small academic conferences are limited to the bone tumor specialty.

But now, things seem to be getting a little off, so it's time to let go.

Only put the eggs in the basket big enough; don't force yourself to do things beyond your capabilities and understanding.

You can't fake a perspective you haven't experienced before!

……

When the leaders of the Wuhan University Science and Technology Development Institute and the Graduate School arrived at the train station, they were accompanied by Liao Jiayuan, the vice president of Zhongnan Hospital.

Liao Jiayuan, the vice dean, had met Fang Ziye before. His voice was still hoarse, but now it was cheerful: "Professor Fang, Professor Du!"

"These two are..." Liao Jiayuan began to introduce the guests to Fang Ziye and Du Yingshan.

Although we don't know where Director Du of the Orthopedics Department went, we guess he was meeting with guests, since this academic report was of high quality.

Zhongnan Hospital understands that specialist departments are busy "showing off" and supports this kind of showing off, as it enhances the hospital's overall strength and influence.

Neither Professor Fang Ziye nor Professor Du Yingshan dared to be arrogant. They shook hands with each of the visitors and learned that one of them was Tian Qi, the vice president of the Institute of Science and Technology Development.

Qin Hongzhou, Vice Dean of the Graduate School.

The two vice deans each led a team of three people to come and listen to Fang Ziye's academic report. They had two main purposes.

First, we need to see if the Science and Technology Development Institute should submit a report to the Ministry of Education in the name of the university to receive some financial support.

Secondly, the Graduate School has considered that Fang Ziye's team is short-staffed, so it wants to allocate one more doctoral or master's degree spot to Fang Ziye as appropriate.

After the two vice deans quickly explained their purpose, they said warmly, "Professor Fang is younger than we expected."

"Young and promising!" Tian Qi was slightly overweight and looked like a greasy middle-aged man with a big belly.

Those who know him know that Tian Qi is a very famous professor in the Department of Mechanics at Han City University. He has participated in classified projects and now serves as the vice president of the Science and Technology Development Institute. He is a very powerful academic figure.

It's just that they're not in the same industry as Fang Ziye!
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Tian." Fang Ziye bowed slightly and then said, "Teacher Tian, ​​Teacher Qin, it's like this, originally, our orthopedic department director Du Xinzhan was also going to pick you up in person, but he had to go back temporarily because of some other things to arrange."

"Just now, I received a call from a senior colleague in our orthopedics department, saying that someone else is coming..."

"The National Natural Science Foundation of China's Special Project Review Group for Medical Sciences, the Publicity Department and the Science and Technology Education Department of the National Health Commission, the State Patent Office..." Upon hearing this, Tian Qi's brows furrowed instantly.

"Is this true?" Tian Qi was stunned.

Is this some kind of academic report by an associate professor, or a qualification review for an academician nomination?

"Academician Gu Yuandong wouldn't lie to a nobody like me," Fang Ziye said cautiously, revealing Gu Yuandong's name and position at the Academy of Sciences to enhance the credibility of his statement.

Orthopedics is both a specialty and a discipline.

This specialty and discipline has academicians and other prominent figures.

If someone of that caliber comes forward, it's 90% likely to be true. Even if they don't show up in the end, it should be treated as fact.

"Director Du has already reported this by phone, right?" Tian Qi asked, turning around as she heard this.

Tian Qi stopped wasting time and asked, "How do we get to the hotel?"

"My friend and I both drove. Teachers may have to squeeze in, or you can take a taxi."

Tian Qi and Qin Hongzhou immediately followed Professor Du Yingshan and Fang Ziye, turning around and saying, "You're going with Professor Fang's friend, aren't you?"

"If there's not enough room, take a taxi yourself."

"This is urgent, we need to handle this matter as soon as possible!"

After saying that, the four of them got into the car. Tian Qi stopped pretending to be polite and offered to sit in the front passenger seat. After fastening his seatbelt, he said, "Professor Fang, because none of us are orthopedic practitioners."

"Therefore, it is impossible to objectively assess the important attributes of this topic. So, yesterday our dean decided that I would lead the team."

"But based on the current situation, we may have underestimated the groundbreaking nature, importance, and applicability of Professor Fang's research."

I must apologize to you!

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye fired a shot while saying, "Teacher Tian, ​​you're too kind. We didn't even think of that ourselves; otherwise, we would have already filed a report."

"The main reason is that we believe our orthopedics department can handle the situation, especially with the professors attending today's meeting."

"That's true, but during the meeting, some of the teachers sent out new invitations, so we had to work overtime..." Fang Ziye joked simply.

Now, this research topic is heading in a direction he never expected, and it is gaining attention.

Therefore, Fang Ziye was actually a little uneasy.

Is it a case of being "praised to death," or is it that China's medical community desperately needs a direct attack from abroad to highlight the weakness of China's medical research capabilities?
Fang Ziye couldn't speculate directly; he could only focus on doing his best first!
"Professor Fang, let me make a few phone calls first!"

"We'll talk in detail later." Tian Qi lowered Fang Ziye's voice and dialed the number directly.

Upon hearing this, Professor Du Yingshan cautiously replied, "Dean Tian, ​​Professor Fang will be going to the academic lecture hall later to ensure the safety of the team members."

"We'll talk about that later!"

"Who at Zhongnan Hospital is available? At least two people with real power should be sent to help us with the preparations in advance."

"If we didn't know in advance that these judges would be coming, we could have chosen not to prepare anything. But since we did know in advance, we should have prepared the materials carefully as a sign of respect."

Tian Qi didn't hesitate and was very efficient in her work!
Moreover, he remained calm, having witnessed far larger situations before, so he was very experienced in handling them.

"Dean Tian, ​​there's definitely no problem with that. Some of our orthopedic professors are in Enshi, and they all have some understanding of this topic."

"It was just a contingency plan, not something that was done at such a high level."

“The materials we prepared for the Science and Technology Development Institute have already been prepared!” Du Yingshan replied.
