Chapter 625 A truly great team is amazing! (Please subscribe)
Fang Ziye's eyes gradually darkened, becoming as calm as the night falling.

The image of that weathered face on the movie poster for "Dying to Survive" flashed through my mind, along with the overwhelming online discussions, the heated debates that came and went like a tide.

However, he noticed a detail that most people overlooked: Yong Ge was not punished by law for purchasing drugs during the international patent period. It was only after the patent was about to expire and the protective umbrella disappeared that he finally stumbled.

This heavy reality weighed on his heart like a boulder, making him feel suffocated. Supporting domestically produced drugs and protecting patients' interests—these two seemingly aligned goals actually contained irreconcilable contradictions, like two parallel lines that could never intersect.

He remained silent, his deep gaze seemingly piercing through the wall before him, looking into the distance. He was unaware of the predicament Chen Guangbai's company faced, nor could he fully comprehend the very foundation of their existence.

He always maintains a cautious attitude towards things he doesn't understand and doesn't easily express his opinions.

Even if Chen Song was Chen Guangbai's father, he wouldn't join in the clamor, saying good or bad. There was no need. An individual's strength is like the light of a firefly; no matter how hard they try, they can't illuminate the entire night sky.

All he can do is try his best to help patients suffering from pain in his field of expertise—orthopedic tumors.

There are countless other types of tumors in the world, not just orthopedic tumors, and each specialty requires a corresponding team of experts to tackle them.

Even if Fang Ziye worked himself to the bone and vomited blood, he still couldn't take care of all the cancer patients in the specialties, because human life is too short, like a fleeting moment.

He sighed softly, a helpless sigh that seemed to blend into the twilight, so faint as to be almost inaudible.

That concludes my performance review.

He walked out of Dean Chen Song's courtyard, behind him were the antique courtyard walls and a few unnamed wildflowers blooming in the corner, which looked particularly lonely in the twilight.

This unexpected meeting brought him an unprecedented sense of peace, as if he had undergone a spiritual cleansing.

An individual's abilities are limited, but the field of medicine is infinitely vast; he doesn't need to put too much pressure on himself. The world will continue to turn even if any one person is missing.

Even if he focuses on only a very small area, many patients will benefit from his research findings.

On a thorny path of scientific research, taking just one small step forward is enough to set him apart and make him stand out from the crowd.

While everyone else is standing still, he only needs to take a small step forward to stand out and earn the respect and admiration of others.

……

May 5th, the last day of the May Day holiday, was a sunny and cloudless day.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu agreed not to go to the lab, not to the clinic, and not to stay at the villa, but to enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.

The two drove towards the city, and the vibrant spring scenery flashed past the car window...

Although Enshi is only a prefecture-level city, it has complete urban functions. The pedestrian street is bustling with people, the shopping malls are brightly lit, and everywhere is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Although not as bustling as Seoul, it has its own unique charm. Since the holiday is short, let's indulge in plenty of shopping and eating!

At 11 p.m., the two walked out of the bustling skewers stall, the air filled with a rich, spicy aroma that left a lasting impression.

They strolled towards the mall's underground parking lot. As the city's night gradually enveloped them, Fang Ziye felt all his muscles relax and his fatigue vanish.

Luo Tingzhu, arm in arm with Fang Ziye, practically beamed with joy: "Senior brother, it feels so good to just give up!"

"I don't think it's the feeling of giving up that's good, it's the feeling of stealing half a day of leisure that's really good."

"If I have nothing to do every day, I will feel particularly bored."

"There are some TV dramas online that say that some full-time housewives feel that this kind of life is too mundane, and they don't even feel happy when they spend money," Fang Ziye replied.

She continued, "It's just a pity your husband isn't that rich."

Luo Tingzhu shook her head vigorously: "Even if I had money, I wouldn't live this kind of life."

"I don't like it." She frowned, a hint of fear even flashing in her eyes.

"Tingzhu, do you think human nature is inherently base?"

"Busy people envy those who aren't busy, and those who aren't busy envy those who are busy. Bored people envy those who have goals, and those who have goals envy those who can be bored." Fang Ziye had many reflections today.

"For example, Brother Liao."

Actually, for Fang Ziye now, living a wealthy life wouldn't be difficult at all, even if he just lay down and did nothing.

It's at least no less than Liao Jia's 'net worth'.

Fang Ziye had been in close contact with Liao Jia and knew just how hard Liao Jia was trying to catch up with him and Nie Mingxian.

Liao Jia regretted his previous freedom. He wanted to keep himself busy and, like Fang Ziye and Nie Mingxian, achieve certain academic accomplishments and gain a more professional sense of social recognition.

Luo Tingzhu chuckled and said, "Professor Liao Jia should find a girlfriend so he won't feel so bored."

“For example, senior brother, haven’t you noticed? Junior brother Jie Han has had far fewer problems lately, because he has a lot of headaches.”

Fang Ziye had never thought of it from this angle.

"Was it Junior Sister Huang Shan who was throwing a tantrum at him?" Fang Ziye asked.

Jie Han is currently in a long-distance relationship with his girlfriend Huang Shan.

"Senior brother, you don't need to sound like you're guessing. You can be sure."

"No matter how intellectual a girl is, she is still a girl. If she can avoid a long-distance relationship, she will try every possible way to do so."

“I decided back in April of the year before last that even if we go to a small county together, I don’t want to be in a long-distance relationship!” Luo Tingzhu said firmly.

Luo Tingzhu came from a small town even smaller than a county town, so she could accept living in a cramped place in a small county town.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu started dating in March of the year before last, around the time Luo Tingzhu went abroad.

Two years have passed since then.

Fang Ziye felt somewhat guilty upon hearing this, because he had never considered such a problem before, so he didn't "make a fuss" like Luo Tingzhu did after returning to China.

What's wrong with Luo Tingzhu?
She considered switching from orthopedics to anesthesiology, but was also debating whether to switch to internal medicine... She then gave up on that and went directly to Zhongnan Hospital, choosing instead to enter a postdoctoral research station.

All of this was her effort to ensure the two of them wouldn't be in a long-distance relationship.

In contrast, Fang Ziye rarely thinks or puts in this kind of thinking or effort.

Is it that Luo Tingzhu herself likes to jump around?
Fang Ziye disagreed: "Tingzhu, won't you blame me for bringing you into this mess at the Enshi Sanatorium?"

Luo Tingzhu shook her head.

Then she tiptoed and gently kissed Fang Ziye's cheek, then shook her head again.

Then she took a few steps forward without looking back, her voice clear and artistic: "I don't need you to worry about things I've thought through and decided."

Fang Ziye caught up with Luo Tingzhu, took her hand, and the two walked together to the parking lot below under the interplay of moonlight and streetlights, then drove directly back to the sanatorium.

……

The following day, the first workday after the holiday, everything at the sanatorium was as usual, peaceful and orderly.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the white walls and brightening the entire surgical area, dispelling the false chill of the early morning.

Even Luo Tingzhu, Fang Ziye's girlfriend, knew very little about the meeting in Kyoto. The people from the research area hadn't returned yet, so no one knew anything about it.

A star in the distant sky, completely unrelated to ordinary life on Earth.

Are these professors just ordinary people?
"Society doesn't beat ordinary people; most people are beaten by life itself." This statement resonated with Fang Ziye once again.

Carefree is relative...

Of course, the sanatorium's surgical clinic was quite lively today.

Dean Chen Song, Director Song Libo of the Logistics Department, Director Wang Bin of the Office, and Director Lan Juan of the Medical Affairs Department personally escorted the four of them to their posts...

The vascular surgery team, represented by Professor Li Yongjun, will be officially established and put into operation today.

Because the surgical team had been notified in advance, Lin Qiaoshan and Fang Ziye, along with everyone else, were already eagerly awaiting their arrival.

As soon as the group entered the surgical clinic, Lin Qiaoshan and others welcomed them with enthusiastic applause.

Moreover, this is a newly opened group, and its enthusiasm is even greater than when Fang Ziye arrived before.

After Dean Chen Song entered, he politely announced: "Professors, after discussions with myself and several other directors, and with the participation of Professor Lin Qiaoshan, the acting head of the surgical group, it has been officially decided that the vascular surgery group of our hospital will officially begin operation today."

"At this point, our surgical team was further divided into six specialized groups: neurosurgery, spinal surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, hand surgery, trauma surgery, and vascular surgery."

“Previously, the professors all said that our sanatorium did not have any professional vascular surgeons, which was a slight deficiency in our clinical work!”

"Today we've invited several vascular surgery experts to join us..."

"Let me formally introduce our guests to you professors: Professor Li Yongjun from Vascular Surgery, Professor Tang Meng, Associate Chief Physician Nie Mingxian, Associate Chief Physician Zhou Fuyong..."

"These two professors and two associate chief physicians are four of our top talents, handpicked by our sanatorium. If you have any questions about vascular surgery in the future, feel free to consult them," Chen Song said, waving his hand as he introduced them.

The crowd applauded again, but Professor Li Yongjun still bowed slightly politely: "Dean Chen is too kind. I am new here and still have a lot to learn from the other professors. We will also discuss things together in the future."

"I've long heard that the sanatorium is full of talented people, and I consider myself a newcomer to the field."

Li Yongjun's individual and solo combat capabilities are indeed very strong, but he dares not underestimate the 'transcendent team' formed by several senior officers at the sanatorium.

Such substantial accumulated capital, except for transfers to special regions, cannot be supported by any other teaching hospital.

The cumulative effect of a trio forming a group is not as simple as one plus one.

Just like the effect of prestigious universities, one good professor cannot support a 985 or 211 university. It requires a large number of professors and research teams to work together to make it so.

Moreover, this sanatorium also houses a 'perverted' prescription that Li Yongjun himself knows about.

Professor Lin Qiaoshan politely replied, "Professor Li, let's not be so polite. Although we are not vascular surgeons, we have heard of Professor Li's reputation and expertise."

"It would be an honor to discuss this with Professor Li in the future..."

Li Yongjun said, "Team Leader Lin, there's no need to flatter him. He's just gained a little fame by chance, it's nothing to brag about..."

Hearing this, Chen Song raised his hand to silence the crowd, then looked at Fang Ziye: "Professor Fang, you are currently the acting head of the surgical team, and who are you?"

Before Chen Song could finish speaking, Fang Ziye volunteered, "Dean Chen, I don't think I'm good enough to be a team leader, nor am I a qualified one."

"Dean Chen can make the arrangements himself. I think Professor Li and Professor Lin are both suitable to be group leaders, and they have more experience..."

Fang Ziye has no management experience. Although he temporarily served as the team leader for a month last month, it was just a nominal position. He didn't actually do anything and was always running around outside.

I'm really sorry to continue holding a position without doing any work.

Chen Song looked at Lin Qiaoshan, who also said, "Dean Chen, I think Professor Li is more suitable to be the head of this surgical team, because Professor Li is experienced."

The administrative structure of Kyoto Hospital is different from that of the Onshi Sanatorium, but Li Yongjun is the chief administrative officer of vascular surgery there, so he must have a lot of experience in handling things.

Being the head of the surgical team is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.

"Professor Li, since both Deputy Team Leaders Fang and Lin have said so, you shouldn't refuse the position of team leader."

"With great power comes great responsibility."

"Professors Lin and Fang do indeed lack experience in general surgical management, so we'll have to trouble Professor Li to take the blame." Chen Song clasped his hands slightly in a fist salute.

Li Yongjun noticed Chen Song's wording, as well as the two deputy group leaders, Fang Ziye and Lin Qiaoshan.

Therefore, even though Fang Ziye was removed from his position as acting group leader, Chen Song still wanted to cultivate him and set an example for him.

It's understandable that, in this way, Chen Song directed more hatred towards Fang Ziye, rather than letting the new 'team leader' draw all the fire.

"I would be honored to accept your offer, but if there is anything I do poorly or am unfamiliar with, I would appreciate your understanding and forgiveness, professors and directors." Li Yongjun agreed.

After a brief handover, Chen and Song took their leave.

He wasn't in the surgical team, and although he didn't need to go to the traditional Chinese medicine team regularly, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay here and disturb Fang Ziye and the others' daily work.

As soon as Chen Song and the others left, Lin Qiaoshan and Fang Ziye took the initiative to introduce the surgical team to Professor Li Yongjun.

Regardless of whether Li Yongjun could accept it, everyone was introduced one by one.

After greeting each of them, Lin Qiaoshan said rather tactfully, "Professor Lin, Professor Fang, Professor Bi, Professor Kuang, Professor Du, and Professor Fang, I am new here and have been entrusted with important responsibilities by Dean Chen. Perhaps I am not quite worthy of the title."

"Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."

"However, I have a request. We are all newcomers to the vascular surgery department and are not very clear about the operation mode of the surgical team. So I hope that we can first merge into one team and then gradually separate into clinical teams to treat patients."

"My idea is this: currently, the scope of practice for each of our clinical groups is relatively limited, and the selection of diseases is also relatively limited."

"To my knowledge, the current focus of trauma surgery is bone defects, the focus of hand surgery is diabetic foot, and the focus of spinal surgery is scoliosis..."

"The neurosurgery group focuses on the resection and treatment of intracranial tumors, while the hepatobiliary surgery group focuses on hepatobiliary tumors."

“This does not fully reflect the comprehensive capabilities of our nursing home. Last month, I joined the group and found that some patients with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary diseases were excluded from our surgical team’s treatment.”

"I think it's quite a pity."

Although Professor Li Yongjun did not come to the sanatorium, he became familiar with the group leaders and the cases of each group, which shows that he put his heart into it.

No one expressed their opinion.

Since Chen Song acknowledged Li Yongjun as the head of the surgical team, he had to accept his "new broom sweeps clean" approach!
Li Yongjun said, "I believe that our professors have done enough in their clinical work, providing pure treatment for a wide range of single-discipline diseases."

"I don't know if you guys find it annoying, but personally, I do find it a bit annoying."

"I am a clinician myself. In my previous work, whenever a disease involved other specialties, I would select and choose patients, admitting those that belonged only to our specialty." "For patients involving other specialties, we would send them to those specialties for treatment first. This was a constraint and limitation imposed by teaching hospitals..."

"After all, specialists treat specific conditions."

“But our sanatorium is different. All the surgical teams in our sanatorium come together, which is the best MDT in the country and even the world.”

A multidisciplinary team (MDT) is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary treatment model that fully considers the patient's physical condition and disease progression. It involves collaboration among multiple relevant departments, holding regular, scheduled, and fixed-location group discussions to develop scientific, reasonable, and standardized treatment plans for the patient.

To provide patients with tailored, comprehensive, professional, and standardized medical services, thereby maximizing their survival time, improving their quality of life, and maximizing their benefits.

"Since this is a natural MDT, and the combined strength of all the experts exceeds that of any MDT in any hospital in China, we cannot give up this advantage and continue to take a one-sided approach."

"I have a preliminary idea here, and I wonder if any of you professors would be interested in participating."

"Professor Fang, one thing we cannot deny is that your development of functional reconstruction techniques for patients with limb dysfunction is already a great achievement."

"However, as we all know, in our clinical practice, the more common and numerous patients are those with hemiplegia or even complete paralysis of the lower limbs."

"The functional impairments of these patients are not simply limited to walking in both lower limbs, but also include bowel and bladder dysfunction, or dysfunction of multiple organs such as the respiratory, heart, and liver."

"I also agree that, in terms of trauma surgery, the treatment of bone defects, especially the treatment of defects in the entire femur and patella, is the way to reach the pinnacle and the forefront of trauma surgery."

"But I believe that if our sanatorium can develop a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with hemiplegia or even total paralysis, and compile it into a fixed surgical procedure, then that would be one of the best manifestations of the function of our sanatorium."

"But we can't take too big a step. We will continue to treat specialized diseases. My suggestion is that we start by treating one or two cases of multidisciplinary diseases within a three-month timeframe."

"For example, the treatment of patients with spinal cord hemisection syndrome, or multiple intraperitoneal metastases of gastric cancer."

"Just one case, one case is enough!"

"According to my statistics, there are at least one hundred paralyzed patients and at least forty patients with advanced and metastatic cancer in the current patient database."

“They are all terminal cases, in a state of palliative care, and no one dares to touch them.”

"I think we can do it, as long as we discuss it with the patient's family..."

"I wonder what the professors think?" Li Yongjun asked.

Li Yongjun's fire burned so brightly that no one dared to respond.

Even a fool would know that if the number of patients with hemiplegia and total paralysis of the lower limbs could be increased on a large scale, then it would directly challenge the world's top level, right?

Why isn't anyone doing it?

Because the steps were too big, so big that even eight people taking steps one after another would tear their balls...

Professor Lin Qiaoshan was the first to speak: "Professor Li, I agree with your idea, but this is a long-term goal. How about we discuss it later?"

“Each of our groups also has its own patients.”

Professor Fang Zhikuan frowned slightly and said, "Yes, Team Leader Li, our trauma surgery team still has one surgery scheduled today..."

They start with MDT (Multidisciplinary Team), they tackle super diseases right away, they set out to accomplish tasks that no one in the world could possibly do.

Even if you are Li Yongjun, no one will let you talk nonsense, okay?

Li Yongjun wasn't annoyed and nodded: "Of course, we still need to complete today's tasks as usual. I'm talking about long-term development, not that we need to move in that direction immediately."

"Professors, please go ahead and get back to your work. Just consider this a joke I made." Professor Li Yongjun didn't dwell on it.

……

The group dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Li Yongjun really didn't bother anyone. After the meeting, he pulled some people from his group aside and started discussing the patients his group planned to admit.

Nie Mingxian followed.

Nie Mingxian's girlfriend, Liu Guo, approached and asked a few questions. After rolling her eyes at Nie Mingxian, she followed Lin Qiaoshan to check on the patients.

Therefore, Fang Ziye can confirm that Professor Li Yongjun was not joking, but genuinely wanted to do this.

Fang Ziye was also somewhat tempted, but he was currently too busy with too many tasks and really didn't have enough free time to dedicate to Professor Li Yongjun's climb to the top of the world.

There are two categories: having an idea and putting that idea into practice; both are important.

But it's hard to chew too much at once. You have to do things one by one and put your ideas into practice before you can think about more things.

That's what it means to be down-to-earth.

……

In the operating room.

"Ziye, do you want to come up and operate it?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you perform surgery, I miss it." Wu Xuanqi and Professor Fang Zhikuan stood at the surgeon's position, watching Fang Ziye sitting under the operating room timer panel playing on his phone, looking restless and wanting to relax.

Wu Xuanqi and Fang Zhikuan had already determined that Fang Ziye's skills were better than theirs.

It is true that Wu Xuanqi's operation is more skillful than that of Professor Fang Zhikuan and Professor Yan Huanan. However, while practicing is one thing, once one reaches a certain level, one will want to move towards a more proficient level.

In this situation, there are only two paths to choose from.

First, it's like working in isolation, endlessly repeating the same thing, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Another approach is to learn in an open manner, seeking knowledge from those who already know it and gradually approaching their level. When one's current level is no longer sufficient to seek knowledge from others, one should repeat this process indefinitely, hoping to accumulate quantitative changes into qualitative changes through repetition.

Wu Xuanqi felt that his current level had reached a relative critical point, so he naturally wouldn't go to the trouble of endlessly repeating the same thing.

Fang Ziye, feeling restless, put down his phone and went out to wash his hands.

He wouldn't humbly repeat polite phrases like "I'll learn from you all again" when something is recognized within the team.

This has become a fact, and it has been tested and proven time and again.

Excessive politeness between old acquaintances can lead to estrangement.

After Fang Ziye went on stage, he took the scalpel.

What followed was almost "procedural," with the same incision approach and the same cutting route, but Fang Ziye's incision technique resulted in a cleaner wound and a smoother operation than that of Professors Wu Xuanqi and Fang Zhikuan.

This has nothing to do with the degree of mastery of surgical techniques, but rather with the depth of one's basic skills.

Just like speaking, some people are quick-witted and articulate, and they can speak very quickly and simply, with a tone that makes people feel very comfortable.

Some people, even if they try hard to use precise and nuanced language, are merely imitating and their potential is limited.

Building a solid foundation is a slow and lengthy process!

Everyone's basic skills are a lifelong learning process, because the more basic the skill, the fewer techniques there are to improve it; it all depends on individual skill.

The same procedure, the same steps, the same implant placement, the same suturing process, the same suturing method...

Fang Ziye's actions were neither "out of line" nor incomprehensible; they were almost unbelievable, bordering on divine skill.

If you think a certain operation is incredible or beyond human capabilities, then your theory must not be sophisticated enough!

Almost everything that can be done has a theoretical basis; if it cannot be followed, it is mostly due to insufficient understanding.

Everything is the same, but the visual appeal and the final result are pleasing to the eye, making the result more convincing.

It's like using the same cooking method, the same steps, and the same seasonings, but someone else has a better grasp of the heat and cooks a tastier dish, while you can only watch helplessly.

The control of heat is something that's difficult to explain directly...

As the stitching was nearing completion, Wu Xuanqi sighed, dejectedly saying, "Pervert, pervert, pervert! I can't compete with him!"

He looked as if he had aged decades, lamenting the impermanence of life like an old man.

Fang Zhikuan and Yan Huanan both laughed.

Their mindset was actually quite peaceful!

There are two freaks in the group. Wu Xuanqi is a bit unreasonable, having such skills at such a young age.

However, they could also understand Wu Xuanqi's sense of defeat.

Even someone as outstanding as Wu Xuanqi encountered Fang Ziye; it can only be said that fate plays tricks on people, and there is always someone better.

Wu Xuanqi thought he was a genius, but genius might just be the threshold to meeting Fang Ziye. This joke became a reality.

Fang Ziye didn't reply; he'd become numb to these kinds of comments after hearing them so many times.

Let Wu Xuanqi say whatever he wants, he was actually a little amused...

Just then, Wu Xuanqi's phone rang.

Wu Xuanqi took the opportunity to step down: "Team Leader Fang, Professor Fang, Professor Yan, I need to go downstairs to take a phone call, excuse me."

As the surgery was about to end, Wu Xuanqi's call did come. The others couldn't refuse to let Wu Xuanqi answer it, especially since Wu Xuanqi was quite polite.

Half a minute later, Wu Xuanqi's face darkened with worry, and his eyebrows furrowed in a stern expression: "What? Has Jiang Shao gone mad?"

"He went to fight with Jie Hanlan and Tianluo?"

"Was anyone hurt?"

Wu Xuanqi's call was not originally related to Fang Ziye, but upon hearing that someone had fought with Jie Hanlan and Tianluo, Fang Ziye's eyebrows immediately shot up.

Isn't this a joke?
However, Fang Ziye did not immediately step down. Instead, he waited until he had personally completed the last step, completely bandaged the patient's postoperative wound, and fixed the patient's lower leg to the thigh with a cast before slowly taking off his sterile surgical gown.

Wu Xuanqi just hung up the phone and muttered "fuck" under his breath.

Then he walked up to Professor Fang Zhikuan and said, "Professor Fang, I may need to go to the lab with Professor Fang to handle some matters privately."

"Could you please take charge of the follow-up procedures for the surgery? We'll be right back," Wu Xuanqi said politely and respectfully.

Fang Zhikuan said, "It's alright, you and Team Leader Fang can handle it."

Fang Zhikuan knew that Fang Ziye and Wu Xuanqi had both brought their teams, suggesting a possible conflict...

Fang Ziye and Wu Xuanqi then hurriedly left the operating room.

After arriving at the clinical area, the two rode their electric scooters to the research area. After getting off and stopping, Wu Xuanqi said, "Jiang Shao is a junior of mine who is a second-year master's student."

"She came with me to work on the 'tumor invasion' sub-project, I don't know what got into her today..."

"Ziye, this is an internal management problem of mine. I apologize to you in advance."

Fang Ziye said, "Let's go check if anyone was injured."

What good is your apology? You've hurt someone; whether or not to pursue legal action is another matter.

Fang Ziye was a little angry.

Wu Xuanqi didn't offer much explanation and continued on his way.

Outside the laboratory, the two groups of people were operating independently, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Guo Haichao and Song Yi, PhDs from Tongji Hospital whom Fang Ziye knew, were now acting as representatives to explain and clarify the situation to Li Yuanpei and others.

Lan Tianluo's neck was a little red and had fingerprints on it.

"Brother Qi..."

"Brother Ye..." When everyone saw Fang Ziye and Wu Xuanqi arrive, they quickly called out to each other and surrounded the two of them again.

Lan Tianluo isn't someone to be trifled with; quite a few people from Zhongnan Hospital have come too!

"Tianluo, are you alright?" Fang Ziye asked first.

Luo Tingzhu, standing beside Lan Tianluo, shook her head slightly, assessing the worst-case scenario.

Lan Tianluo lowered his voice and said, "Senior brother, Jiang Shao is not very helpful here. For the 'tumor cell invasion and metastasis' research project that you and Wu Xuanqi collaborated on, you wanted me to be the first author, but he was not satisfied and came over to argue."

"He said he worked himself to the bone but only got second authorship, while we did nothing and were expected to get first authorship. He called me shameless and even hit me..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye started making faces, feeling quite annoyed.

Next door, Wu Xuanqi already knew the cause and effect of the matter.

Jiang Shao was still somewhat unconvinced, and argued with his neck red: "Senior brother, if it were you, or other senior brothers who got first place, I would have nothing to say."

"But why should our team's achievements be given to teams from other hospitals?"

"We're working ourselves to the bone..."

Wu Xuanqi cursed, "Shut up, stop talking. I'll handle this."

"Brother Qi, that's just how it is."

Wu Xuanqi immediately ordered his men to pull Jiang Shao away: "Guo Haichao, Chen Tailin, take him back. I'll handle things here."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye wouldn't allow Wu Xuanqi to play dumb or try to smooth things over, saying, "Brother Qi, let him apologize to Lan Tianluo first, and then we can talk about other things."
