"Jiang Shao, apologize!" Wu Xuanqi understood and immediately said.

“I don’t know!” Jiang Shao was quite stubborn.

"Are you out of your mind? You'd better calm down, deal with the situation and the problem first, and apologize!"

“Otherwise, if you have a criminal record, no one can help you. Do you not want to continue?” Wu Xuanqi began to question.

Lan Tianluo's red neck was still there, and the handprint was still there.

Others may not know Lan Tianluo, but Wu Xuanqi does. With Lan Tianluo's accumulated wealth, he is confident he can pursue this matter to the end.

Asking for an apology is not unreasonable.

Jiang Shao wasn't the kind of brainless idiot with a delusional mindset. After quickly saying sorry, he immediately ran away, still unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuanqi shook his head helplessly, walked up to Lan Tianluo, and bowed.

"Dr. Lan Tianluo, I'm sorry. On behalf of my junior colleague, I sincerely apologize to you and hope you can forgive him."

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should we go get checked out?" Wu Xuanqi was much more mature than Jiang Shao.

Lan Tianluo looked at Fang Ziye, then at Wu Xuanqi, and shook his head helplessly.

"No need to go for a checkup."

"However, Director Wu, if Jiang Shao's idea is the same as your team's idea, then nobody should publish that article."

“I can make it clear that the original drafts of the data that my senior brother sent you are all here with me. If I don’t agree, I will complain wherever you send it.” Lan Tianluo was not one to back down.

Wu Xuanqi nodded: "Of course, actually this project originally belonged to your senior brother. He entrusted it to me, and I have always expressed my willingness to do it."

"I will communicate with your senior colleague, or your senior colleague will communicate with me alone, and I will co-author with one person from your team."

"Currently, the result of our team's discussion is that Ziye and I will be co-corresponding authors, and Guo Haichao and Dr. Lan Tianluo will be co-first authors. This has been agreed upon."

“My junior colleague Jiang Shao is also a member of our team. He did conduct experiments, but he may not have been able to adapt his thinking immediately, so he acted a bit aggressively.”

"Let's handle this calmly, shall we?"

“Ziye, you make a statement. The basic points of our discussion will not change. If Lan Tianluo has other demands, such as Jiang Shao’s public apology or a private apology dinner, I can go back and resolve them.”

“I also made a mistake in this matter; I didn’t do a good job of comforting our team members psychologically.” Wu Xuanqi did not shirk responsibility.

I just feel very embarrassed.

Jiang Shao saw that the two articles redefining tumor invasion and metastasis were of such high quality and had such high potential impact factors that he couldn't even get a good authorship, so he immediately lost his temper and attacked people.

This is absolutely shameful.

However, it is undeniable that Jiang Shao is Wu Xuanqi's junior, Duan Hong's student, and a master's student at Tongji Hospital.

It's not that he lacks articles, it's just that this one is of such high quality that if he could get first authorship, it would be a huge benefit to him, and he has also put in a great deal of effort...

But as the saying goes, if one could obtain the greatest benefits simply by putting in labor, the world's richest person would undoubtedly be a farmer, and more likely a farmer from China.

Most of the people currently standing around will starve to death, because if you ask them to work in the fields, not many of them can necessarily support themselves by farming.

"Tianluo, what do you think?"

"I think calling the police would be making too much of a fuss, it's really unnecessary," Fang Ziye asked Lan Tianluo for his opinion.

Lan Tianluo nodded: "Senior Brother Wu, I don't need him to apologize."

"We will continue to collaborate on the tumor research project, but we will work separately on the other 3D printed prosthesis model project."

“From now on, our team will move in this direction, and you will delete all the data provided by our team.”

"You can redesign it and start from scratch!"

"You don't need to give us the data for your subsequent research; we'll do it ourselves."

“What a load of crap.” As Lan Tianluo said this, Luo Tingzhu slapped him.

"Watch your mouth. Don't swear," Luo Tingzhu said in a low voice.

"That's what it means anyway."

Lan Tianluo said, "You can continue to work with my fellow disciples, but don't call me anymore."

"I don't care if these articles aren't published or just stay here. It's just two articles, after all," Lan Tianluo said, sounding rather insensitive.

Wu Xuanqi's eyelids twitched, and his lips twitched for a while.

Then he added, "Lan Tianluo, Jiang Shao is not involved in another project, and my teacher and I have already sent out invitations. He will be giving an academic report next month."

"You're doing this by crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge, removing the ladder halfway through. The impact is too great."

"How about this? I won't follow up on this project anymore; I'll leave it all to your team."

"Since the invitations for the academic presentations have already been sent out, it's impossible to withdraw them at the last minute. We still need to handle this matter!"

"As for the topic of tumor metastasis and invasion, our team does not want to be the first author or corresponding author."

This is a big deal.

Lan Tianluo's actions here are making Wu Xuanqi very uncomfortable.

Fang Ziye explained, "Tianluo, this won't work."

“It would have been acceptable if we had told him in advance that we were ending the collaboration, but Professor Duan has already sent out the invitations, and he's scheduled to give an academic presentation next month, so…”

"Let's not go to such extremes."

Lan Tianlu thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed a bit aggressive: "Senior brother, you handle it. I'm too lazy to deal with it."

"This is getting too complicated." Lan Tianluo walked directly into the laboratory.

Luo Tingzhu then said, "Lan Tianluo, stop right there."

Lan Tianluo paused, then turned to look at Luo Tingzhu.

Luo Tingzhu said to Lan Tianluo, "The things in this world are nothing more than these kinds of things. Once something happens, it's just that you suffer a loss while others gain something."

"When you encounter a problem, you should solve it instead of running away from it."

“Come back. We can’t let everything just make you lose your temper.” Luo Tingzhu spoke with the demeanor of a mature older sister.

Actually, Luo Tingzhu had been influenced by Fang Ziye and had thought about some things more deeply.

When she was with Fang Ziye, she didn't need to think things through carefully, but when she encountered problems on her own, what could she do if she didn't consider them?
Luo Tingzhu's words surprised both Wu Xuanqi and Fang Ziye. However, Wu Xuanqi did not delve into how Luo Tingzhu could say such a thing. Seeing that there was a way out, he took it.

"Dr. Lan, Dr. Luo is right. Now that this has happened, we need to find a way to solve it."

"It is my responsibility that I failed to manage the team well and handle the relationships within the team."

"I hope you can accept my sincere apology. I can only guarantee that something like this will never happen again!"

"You have to believe me, I've told you a thousand times, it's absolutely not something I instructed on purpose." Wu Xuanqi brought up a point, a point he felt might be what angered Lan Tianluo.

Lan Tianluo looked at Luo Tingzhu, then at Fang Ziye, and sighed.

He said in a low voice, "I didn't hit anyone. You can look for injuries on him."

"Of course, I wasn't injured either."

"Dr. Lan, I will definitely handle this matter very seriously," Wu Xuanqi assured him.

……

Wu Xuanqi arrived at the laboratory under his supervision first.

At this moment, Chen Tailin, Guo Haichao, and Song Yi were all trying to comfort Jiang Shao, whose expression was full of guilt and unease.

She looked at Wu Xuanqi with some nervousness.

If Lan Tianluo really wants to investigate today's events thoroughly, he will also be in a lot of trouble.

He had expected Wu Xuanqi to be angry, but to his surprise, Wu Xuanqi entered the room with a very calm expression. He was neither angry nor as authoritative as he usually was in the team.

Instead, they seemed rather dejected.

Jiang Shaoxian panicked and quickly took a few steps forward: "Senior Brother Wu, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive today, I didn't control my emotions."

"But, Senior Brother Wu, I just don't understand, why should we pick up other people's leftovers?"

“Our team currently has several important research projects related to him. Why is that?” Jiang Shao really couldn’t understand.

Wu Xuanqi looked up and asked Jiang Shao, "Enshi People's Hospital and Xianshi People's Hospital, which you visited before, are they obligated to provide you with resources?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"The nonunion of bones and some minor bone defects that Zhongnan Hospital did in previous years were mainly led by our hospital, with other hospitals playing a supporting role."

"Do you really think that the name 'Tongji Hospital' is enough to intimidate Professor Xiong Zhizhang and Professor Dong Yaohui?"

"I'm telling you no."

"Their cooperation with our hospital is not because our hospital is Tongji Hospital, but because of the contributions of senior colleagues such as Peng Yuan and Zou Jiefang."

"Not just the hospital you work at, but the trauma surgery department!"

After raising his voice a few times, Wu Xuanqi calmed down and said, "Actually, it's not your fault. We senior brothers also bear responsibility. In fact, a great responsibility."

"Because we were unable to provide you junior fellow students with more generous financial support, and we were unable to provide you with the best platform in Hubei Province, we paled in comparison."

Jiang Shao had only recently arrived at the Department of Trauma Surgery. He was only a second-year master's student and had just begun to get a glimpse of the department. He couldn't even see the layout of the hospital clearly, so how could he possibly know the relationship between the Department of Trauma Surgery at Tongji Hospital and Zhongnan Hospital?

"Many years ago, Professor Deng Yong from Zhongnan Hospital shamelessly wanted to be friends with my mentor, didn't he?"

“You don’t know, and I didn’t see it either, but I personally witnessed the relationship between my later mentor and Professor Deng Yong.”

"Is Deng Yong, a PhD graduate from Zhongnan Hospital, such a despicable person?"

"Na Lantianluo is also a second-year master's student, in the same year as you. Why do you only think about competing with him and not comparing yourself to him side by side?"

"Jiang Shao, tell me, why are you afraid to compete with him?"

Jiang Shao hesitated, his voice trembling with panic: "Me? I...I..."

"Peking Union Medical College Hospital in the North, Xiangya Hospital in the South, Qilu Hospital in the East, West China Hospital in the West, and Tongji Hospital in the Center."

"These are old titles. These titles are all empty names and may all decline. They are not eternal."

"The reputation of a hospital is different from the reputation of a specialty department."

“Jiang Shao, you can’t just take it for granted that our department has been working hard, making progress, and always being the top in the province.”

"Do you deserve to be a master's graduate from Tongji Hospital? Did Tongji Hospital hire you for your family's master's degree?"

"What gives you the right to come in?" Wu Xuanqi continued to question.

Jiang Shao lowered his head, Chen Tailin and Guo Haichao also sighed softly, and Song Yi remained silent.

Development is certain, but slow development is one of the original sins of decline.

"Is a prescription really enough?" Jiang Shao asked in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced.

"Correct!"

"Yes!~"

You're absolutely right.

"If you acknowledge that Brother Zhong Wenyuan can suppress all the associate professors in the province to the point of being speechless, and if you agree that Brother Longyuan can hold his head high in front of Yuan Weihong, then you must acknowledge that Fang Ziye's appearance alone has made us all submit!"

"At least for now."

"At least until you, Jiang Shao, have grown up and can beat Fang Ziye into submission, until you can rub him into the ground, you have to admit this."

"A single prescription is enough to leave us helpless. I've said it, so what? What can you do about it?"

"What makes our master so special that Professor Deng Yong, Professor An Luming, and Professor Qi Qiaowen of Peking Union Medical College Hospital all avoid him? Is it because of his weight? Or because of our arguments?"

"You expect us to go and beat them up?"

"Can't you use your brain for a second?"

Jiang Shao said, "Then follow along? Won't we always fall behind?"

“If you don’t follow, you’ll only fall further behind!!!” Wu Xuanqi retorted emphatically, spittle flying from his mouth.

"If you don't follow, plenty of others will."

"Do you think Master wanted to follow? Master did choose not to follow, and then the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Shanghai immediately took action."

"We almost missed the top tier in limb-sparing surgery for severe injuries. Are you still going to join us?"

"You think your master is some kind of lowly person who just wants to follow along and eat other people's farts?"

“I’ll tell you about Jiang Shao.”

"The concept of limb-saving surgery for severe injuries was originally proposed by my master, but Fang Ziye and Deng Yong stole it! That's the truth."

"Because others do it faster than us."

"But we just don't have much of a temper! Because they did it too fast..."

"No way! Do you think I want to follow him? Do you think I want to be inferior to him?" Wu Xuanqi's voice broke down.

"no way."

"This is the great struggle of the world, the trend of events."

Jiang Shao lowered his head, feeling wronged and frustrated, but he could only keep it to himself.

Because what their team is currently facing is something that other hospitals have encountered before, and those hospitals have found ways to solve it.

You can only be a tagalong if you're qualified to be one. That's a fact, a harsh reality. "..."

In Fang Ziye's laboratory.

"Tingzhu, go do your experiment. I need to have a good talk with Tianluo." Fang Ziye quickly tried to appease Luo Tingzhu after she finished scolding Lan Tianluo.

Luo Tingzhu rolled up her sleeves and nodded.

"Don't be stubborn," Luo Tingzhu warned.

Lan Tianlu was almost in tears. Who was being bullied? I got beaten up!

Fortunately, with her senior brother there, Luo Tingzhu didn't go too far.

Seeing that there was no fight, Li Yuanpei and the others had already left, so currently only Jie Han and Lan Tianluo are in the laboratory.

The experimental area is quite empty. The experimental building was constructed to international top standards and can accommodate thousands of people, so the current research resources are very abundant.

"Senior brother, she, she's going all out too." Lan Tianluo suddenly felt a little sorry for Fang Ziye.

“We’re not talking about this,” Fang Ziye shook his head.

Jie Han brought over a small stool and a cup of coffee. The coffee had just been ordered when Luo Tingzhu was cursing, and the security guard downstairs delivered it to the laboratory floor.

"Senior brother, Tianluo, calm down," Jiehan said, trying to smooth things over.

Fang Ziye said, "Tianluo, Jiehan, I also need to have a good talk with you two."

"What happened to Jiang Shao today is actually a kind of omen, and it may also give us some insights into our future relationship. We need to carefully examine this matter."

“Jiang Shao and Wu Xuanqi are also fellow disciples, and their relationship with us is fundamentally no different.”

Jie Han took a sip of coffee, put it down, and asked hesitantly, "Senior brother, isn't this different?"

“They are essentially the same. Let me explain,” Fang Ziye said.

"First of all, we must acknowledge that Professor Duan Hong's team is not like Professor Deng Yong's team; they do not lack research funding."

"On the surface, Professor Duan Hong's team has at least eight million yuan in research funding, that's an undeniable fact."

"But Professor Deng Yong's team will only have a maximum of three million. This year it may be better, with more than four million."

"Comparatively speaking, our small team is not short of funding."

"Then think about it, if you don't lack funds, why would Jiang Shao come to cause you trouble?"

"Don't say you're jealous."

“A master’s graduate who can get into Tongji Hospital wouldn’t be so envious of something so small. If Wu Xuanqi can’t even manage this, he doesn’t deserve to be the group leader,” Fang Ziye said.

Lan Tianlu pursed his lips and adjusted his collar: "The quality of their research is not good enough."

Lan Tianluo had held a high position in the mathematics department, so he was able to roughly deduce the key to it.

That's right!

"The problem is that the quality of the research project is relatively insufficient," Fang Ziye described more cautiously.

"If it's about publishing articles, Professor Duan Hong can easily produce a dozen or even twenty a year. Jiang Shao will have no problem graduating."

"However, the fundamental reason why Professor Duan is willing to cooperate with us is the quality of the research projects, not the quantity of projects."

"Our team's progress is like overtaking on a curve; we're on entirely new tracks, so we can bypass obstacles," Fang Ziye gestured.

"However, once a team moves forward, it will inevitably occupy some resources, such as the amount of research funding or the quality of the research."

"The fundamental reason why there are no disagreements within our team, that is, between you and me, is that the quality of our projects is good enough and the quantity is not small."

"Therefore, we must pay very close attention to this point."

"Otherwise, we might have similar disputes in the future, and I will try my best to avoid this situation from happening. This is a responsibility that my master and I must bear."

Lan Tianluo found it strange: "Senior brother, if that's the case, then wouldn't we be able to avoid these problems if we don't cooperate with other teams?"

"Based on the research topics we have, we could have enough internally for several decades."

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Tianluo, don't worry, I'm still confident about the quantity and quality of the research projects."

"Because we also need to look at another aspect, which is the degree of resource allocation imbalance across the country."

"Leaving aside other specialties, even in orthopedics, Hubei Province is not a region where orthopedic resources are preferentially allocated."

"Because no one of extraordinary influence has ever emerged from this place..."

"Therefore, to break this deadlock, we must cooperate and accumulate more research projects more quickly and effectively, so that we can obtain more resources in the future."

"For example, research funding, research approval, and so on..."

Jie Han understood at this moment and blurted out, "Senior brother, are you going to compete with some of the current senior professors for that position?"

"Because our experience is relatively limited, even if we are efficient, others have the advantage of time. Therefore, we need to broaden the size of our team to a certain extent?"

Ultimately, getting to that point depends on the amount of time and effort accumulated.

Without a certain amount of accumulated experience, it's impossible to reach that level.

Only after reaching that stage and entering that circle are you qualified to discuss other messy relationships.

Given Fang Ziye's current research experience, would you say he could directly defeat a professor?
There is a chance.

However, it is absolutely impossible to take down a large research team without considering the 'advanced' nature of overtaking on a curve.

Other teams have accumulated decades of experience just to retain an academician. What makes you think you're better than them?
Either wait, or extend the timeframe.

Either broaden the scope of research topics, create a larger circle, and have the ability to expand this circle and provide a safety net for it.

This will be very tiring.

That's roughly the idea!

"I need their help, and to be honest, our team's future focus is not on acting like a tyrant within Hubei Province, or on becoming the leader of Hubei Province and the academic leader of Hubei Province."

"This is meaningless."

"What do you think?" Fang Ziye asked in a very soft voice.

"Just think about it, if you say something in the future, your fellow disciples, or even Wu Xuanqi and the others, will support you. Wouldn't that make you happy enough?" Fang Ziye made a simple analogy.

In fact, this model applies to academic leaders within the province. There may be other benefits, but fundamentally, it's just about having someone who leads the way in a particular area and commands a certain level of influence.

But that's about it.

Lan Tianlu laughed and said, "Actually, it seems quite interesting."

Lan Tianluo is not Fang Ziye. He is already quite fortunate to be able to dominate Zhongnan Hospital. He would also be able to command a large following in Hubei Province.

How could it not be interesting?

"Stop joking around. I'm telling you something more formally, so please don't make fun of me."

Fang Ziye waved his hand and continued, "Don't think I don't know what you two and Luo Tingzhu are secretly plotting."

"You're secretly planning to create a new cell line, aren't you?"

"The source of this cell line is the peripheral neurodegenerative disease cell line from the surgery I performed at Enshi Hospital, right?"

Lan Tianluo started to panic: "Didn't we agree that I wouldn't tell you?"

This was an unexpected surprise they had prepared for Fang Ziye, but Fang Ziye had unexpectedly torn off the cover, which made Lan Tianluo extremely upset.

"Hey, who am I, your senior brother? I guessed it when you asked Tingzhu to ask me some questions."

"You don't need to hide anything from me or try to surprise me. Take initiative and make me feel that you are not an appendage."

"We have always been a team, and you have always been important."

"When you had this idea, there were actually some conflicts within our team, and if these conflicts were not resolved, they could accumulate and grow bigger."

“You might think that I take too much from this team, that you are just my appendages, my workers, or something like that, right?”

"It just so happens that Jiang Shao's matter is similar to ours, so I chose to make it clear to you that, fundamentally, we are not in a subordinate or vassal relationship."

"My senior brother has gone far because of his age. He graduated before you, so he can lead more teams than you. That's all," Fang Ziye said.

In the current field of basic medical research, the establishment of new cell lines is undoubtedly one of the most advanced research directions.

Similar to the establishment of new animal models, these are both very cutting-edge topics.

Therefore, Lan Tianluo and others also wanted to break through a similar path on their own without relying on Fang Ziye, so that they could have a foothold and not have to depend on Fang Ziye for everything.

Fang Ziye could understand their mentality, but he hadn't figured out how to handle this kind of internal affairs beforehand.

This is a good opportunity to make things clear.

"Senior brother, what about Hu Qingyuan and the others?" Lan Tianluo asked.

“They are my students?” Fang Ziye said.

“My master and Professor Deng Yong are not in a master-disciple relationship, so there may be differences in direction between them during their interactions.”

“I also noticed this problem after Hu Qingyuan and his team came some time ago.”

“You do admire Hu Qingyuan, but you are not me after all, so you are not that close to them, that’s a fact.”

"We need to acknowledge this."

"But we need to find our own place..."

"Only in this way can we not separate in the future, or rather, separate our bodies but not our spirits, separate our forms but not our roots."

"I don't really want our future relationship to be like that of other professors, where we break up after some conflict."

“To achieve this, we need to lay the groundwork for an even bigger pie, and we must proceed step by step, slowly and steadily.” Fang Ziye’s voice was very sincere.

Lan Tianluo and Jie Han hadn't considered this issue, but since Fang Ziye brought it up, they both nodded in agreement.

However, the future is ultimately too far away.

It's too abstract; if I were to consider it now, the world would seem too boring.

"Senior, can our team consistently guarantee a high quality and a high quantity of research projects? Do we have that many projects?" Jie Han asked again.

"And there's Nie Mingxian, Senior Brother Liao Jia, and Wu Xuanqi and the others..." Jie Han was a little worried.

Those who come together solely for mutual benefit will never last.

"I don't know either, because I can only guarantee that the three of us have it, and that my two masters have it. I can't guarantee anything else."

"I can't guarantee anything even for the new junior apprentices."

“Master understands this, which is why he didn’t let Ning Zhengyang come to Enshi. Master is thoughtful,” Fang Ziye said.

As I said before, the future is too far away, and there are too many people in this world.

A single relationship is insufficient to sustain so many structures.

Fang Ziye also has a junior brother, Ning Zhengyang, who is the senior brother of Jie Han and Lan Tianluo!

However, even with Yuan Weihong as their linchpin, the four of them still couldn't get along.

Fang Ziye even felt that among his students, he favored Hu Qingyuan more, and his feelings for the other two "nominal" doctoral students were just so-so.

Upon hearing Fang Ziye mention Ning Zhengyang, both Jie Han and Lan Tianlu fell silent.

If Fang Ziye hadn't brought it up, neither of them would have thought of Ning Zhengyang for a long time.

The silence lasted for a full two minutes before Lan Tianluo finally said, "Jiehan, since Senior Brother already knows about the new cell line, why don't we stop hiding it from him?"

"There's a big shot right here; let's ask him what the next step should be."

"Establishing cell lines for peripheral neurodegenerative diseases is a very meaningful research topic that can be explored for the treatment of all types of degenerative diseases."

Jie Han went to get the notebook right away.

The future is too far away, the world is too big, and reality is sometimes too cruel; no one can know the future clearly.

However, Fang Ziye's words today made them all understand things a bit better.

Jie Han had a knack for asking questions, and he annoyed Fang Ziye for a full half hour before Fang Ziye couldn't take it anymore!
I'm saying goodbye now, using surgery as an excuse to leave.

Just then, Wu Xuanqi called, so Fang Ziye and Wu Xuanqi rushed back to the operating room.

The two of them remained silent throughout the journey.

When they arrived at the operating room door, Fang Ziye said, "Brother Qi, it's okay. I know you can't read the minds of all our junior brothers."

"However, this is ultimately not a good thing, and we are quite innocent as well."

Wu Xuanqi said, "Jiang Shao will return to Han City after this month ends."

“Ziye, I can’t punish him for you. All I can do is ensure that he graduates normally and finds a job normally.”

"The others are bad."

"I also hope you can understand him and stop holding a grudge against him," Wu Xuanqi pleaded.

Was Jiang Shao sent back to Han City?
This punishment is fairly standard. If he's unwilling to help Fang Ziye with his research project, then he can find another way to do it.

Moreover, Fang Ziye didn't actually need Wu Xuanqi's help. It was just that Wu Xuanqi himself couldn't bear to give up this advanced research direction, so he was willing to act as Fang Ziye's "spokesperson" and "gun barrel," even if it would cause a lot of people to be dissatisfied.

In addition to learning to grow, the team also needs to learn to admit defeat together.

Because this is a team, not an individual.

Wu Xuanqi had no choice but to join if he couldn't win...
