top student at medical school

Chapter 670 Comrade Fang, Who Embraces Everyday Life (Please Subscribe)
Tongji Hospital's hand surgery department is not as outstanding as Union Hospital's, but it has a richer foundation than Zhongnan Hospital's.

Professor Zhao Le is a leading figure among the new generation of hand surgeons at Tongji Hospital, and is a few years older than Liu Huanglong.

Logically, Liu Huanglong should have waited for Zhao Le to step down before he could rightfully "ascend to the top" in the province. However, now, thanks to his cooperation with Fang Ziye, Liu Huanglong is showing signs of suppressing Professor Zhao Le.

If Fang Ziye were to inexplicably lend Professor Zhao Le another hand, Liu Huanglong would have to remain a dutiful junior for many years to come.

Because Fang Ziye has collaborated extensively with Duan Hong and Wu Xuanqi of Tongji Hospital over the past year, Liu Huanglong finds Fang Ziye somewhat incomprehensible.

Liu Huanglong's already unattractive face became even uglier after his eyebrows were pulled up. He put his hands behind his chest and said in a cold tone, "If Professor Fang already has his own ideas, then I will not force him to do so."

If Liu Huanglong's expression and eyes hadn't been so unpleasant, betraying his true thoughts, Fang Ziye would have genuinely thought Liu Huanglong was extremely arrogant.

When Liu Huanglong "escaped" from Peking Union Medical College Hospital to Zhongnan Hospital, Fang Ziye thought that besides the reason of returning home in wealth, he also wanted to escape Professor Zhong Junyu.

The handover between the new and old generations in every department, hospital, and province is either a matter of enduring hardship or a direct confrontation in a different trench.

Liu Huanglong is ambitious. He respects Professor Zhong Junyu, so he is willing to give up everything and start from scratch.

Liu Huanglong came to Zhongnan Hospital. If Zhongnan Hospital could get rid of Professor Zhong Junyu without relying on the foundation of Peking Union Medical College Hospital accumulated by Professor Zhong Junyu and others, then it would be perfectly legitimate.

In other words, Liu Huanglong had long harbored ambitions.

"Professor Liu really doesn't want to listen?" Fang Ziye asked playfully.

Liu Huanglong lowered his eyebrows, and his tone became calmer: "Professor Fang's actions and choices are always unique, and no one can force him to do what he wants."

"I'm just saying I want to, but what can I do if Professor Fang is unwilling?"

Liu Huanglong also learned to use retreat as a strategy for advancement.

He said there was precedent for this.

The first time, I took Academician Cheng Xiaoping from the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery to Fang Ziye to discuss cooperation, but we were rejected.

The second time, Fang Ziye guessed that someone had asked his father-in-law for help, but he still refused. Wasn't that just being disrespectful?
Seeing that Fang Ziye had stopped talking, Liu Huanglong cautiously added, "Moreover, instead of contributing to your own department, Professor Fang is coming to my place to recruit people to work for you. Who knows if you're deliberately setting a trap for me?"

have to.

Fang Ziye felt that when it came to acting, he definitely couldn't beat Liu Huanglong, that old fox.

Fang Ziye then frankly said, "Professor Liu, it's not that I don't want to do new research in our trauma surgery department, but that our department's current accumulation is not enough."

"Given the current situation, if we still think about making a breakthrough, wouldn't that just put our entire trauma surgery department in a very difficult position?"

"The most obvious problem is that our department doesn't even have a single full-fledged senior clinical physician; we can't afford to take the blame!"

The professor-led system is stipulated in Zhongnan Hospital.

You don't even have a chief physician or professor, so who will take responsibility? If even the slightest mistake happens, when others investigate, you won't even have a senior professional title to represent you.

Even if the problem isn't serious, the program is still wrong.

"Back when Professor Deng Yong and Professor Han Yuanxiao were still in the Department of Trauma Surgery, you weren't that enthusiastic either." Liu Huanglong wasn't the type to lose his mind just because someone said something he didn't mean.

Fang Ziye placed his right hand on his chest: "Teacher Liu, may I point here and say that when Teacher Deng was still in the trauma surgery department, wasn't I good enough to our department?"

"Have I not helped enough of my fellow PhD students, my fellow master's students, my own junior colleagues, and even my professors?"

“But Professor Liu, you know perfectly well what Professor Han Yuanxiao has done. I’m not that noble to repay evil with good.”

“Xiong Jinhuan, who was relatively close to me, received quite a lot of benefits.”

"That's all I can do."

"After my master made a mistake, you want me to continue to focus on Professor Han Yuanxiao and help him solidify his position? I want to ask, on what grounds?"

Fang Ziye spoke each word with conviction.

Liu Huanglong's eyelids drooped slightly.

Fang Ziye continued, "During the same period, I immediately gave you, Professor Liu, the core clinical research project related to hand surgery. How could I not have let our hospital down?"

"As for other topics, our hospital at that time had insufficient human, material, cultural, and financial resources to support them."

"For example, in bone defect research, Tongji Hospital has already reached the master's level, while our hospital is only at the high school level. How can I delegate this clinical research topic back to our hospital?"

"For the other AI prosthetic limb, I was only pursuing speed, not fame or fortune, so I could only collaborate with Professor Duan Hong, who has the most profound background."

"This was for my own selfish desires. I just wanted an elderly person to enjoy their later years in peace, nothing more."

"As for the reform of basic experimental methods for tumors, although some of the benefits ultimately went to Tongji Hospital, you, Professor Liu, are well aware of the immense pressure they endured..."

As Liu Huanglong listened to Fang Ziye's words, his expression returned to normal and he no longer looked so ugly. He lowered his voice and said, "Ziye, can you give me a clue? What level are you currently able to access?"

“My father-in-law said that even if it’s necessary, he shouldn’t easily get into a conflict with you.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye's expression flickered slightly.

Although he had hardly ever met with Liu Huanglong's father-in-law, the other party might have found out his whereabouts!
Fang Ziye shook his head: "Teacher Liu, I also find it hard to define myself. My current principle is to do good deeds and not worry about the future."

Fang Ziye has done so much at the sanatorium, but he finds it difficult to quantify the extent of his achievements.

Fang Ziye could only be certain that he was now traveling all over the country and was probably doing even better than Professor Duan Hong.

Treating patients is a form of accumulation; bringing recovery to so many people in the sanatorium is also a form of accumulation.

This accumulation allows Fang Ziye to gain more and more room for error.

This tolerance for error means that even if Fang Ziye treats similar "noble" patients in the future, because there are many precedents to back him up, others will not think that Fang Ziye's technical level is inadequate and that he is deliberately using his power to suppress him.

This kind of accumulation requires the most time to drive it forward.

"Doing good deeds without asking for reward."

“Ziye, the fact that you can say such things proves that you have reached a very high level, at least three or four stories high,” Liu Huanglong replied meaningfully.

After saying that, Liu Huanglong turned to his student and said, "You must not gossip about anything you heard today, or you can just apply for graduation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangjun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hurriedly and disappeared into a corner.

"Knock knock knock." Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Boss, can we serve the food now?"

"Sure, sure, serve the dishes first, then open the wine," Liu Huanglong said immediately.

After Chen Xiangjun unlocked the door, the waiter came in and started serving dishes and pouring wine. During this process, Fang Ziye and Liu Huanglong did not discuss any crucial issues.

……

After all three main dishes, two small meat dishes, and one vegetable dish were served, Chen Xiangjun closed the door again.

He raised his glass and said, "Master, Professor Fang, you are both teachers I deeply respect. May I offer you a toast first? I'll drink this in one go, you can drink as you please."

The content of today's conversation has nothing to do with Chen Xiangjun, but it will certainly broaden his horizons and expand his knowledge.

"You should drink half of it. Don't just down it all at once, or you'll embarrass yourself." Liu Huanglong replied, then picked up his small wine glass, clinked it with Fang Ziye's, and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Huanglong continued, "Ziye, do you have any good suggestions regarding the topic you mentioned at the last academic conference, the microcirculation device and the meniscus reconstruction and skin soft tissue reconstruction?"

"Professors Tu Kun and Xue Xiang from the Department of Sports Medicine have asked me several times, but now they don't dare to contact you directly..."

Fang Ziye was taken aback when he heard this: "Why? Teacher Liu."

"I don't think I've offended Professor Tu and Professor Xue in any way, have I?"

Liu Huanglong grinned: "Why else?"

"Which of the professors who had countless connections with you ended up well?"

“If you hadn’t pulled your teacher Yuan Weihong up in time, you would be all alone now, Fang Ziye.”

"Don't you realize it yourself?"

Fang Ziye looked at Liu Huanglong, scanning him up and down.

After understanding, Liu Huanglong said, "I was also affected to some extent, but I managed to extricate myself from it all."

"As a result, Director Du of the joint surgery department doesn't dare to collaborate with you anymore; he feels like you're a jinx."

Liu Huanglong's bluntness gradually made Fang Ziye's expression turn bleak. After his eyes darted around, he lowered his head.

"Teacher Liu, if an ordinary person tries to force their way into a circle that no one else can get into, they will suffer a backlash."

"Even if this backlash doesn't directly destroy you, it will make the people around you feel very uncomfortable."

"My own experience and foundation are too weak, that's all."

Fang Ziye naturally wouldn't admit that he was a cursed lone star, but one thing was quite obvious.

Yuan Weihong was attacked by Wu Xuanqi because of himself, Deng Yong was investigated because of himself, and Han Yuanxiao was "traced back" to his doctoral dissertation because of himself.

Even the aftershocks of a battle between big shots can blast small fry to pieces or even kill them.

Because if your own accumulation is not thick enough and your foundation is not deep enough, it is impossible for anything you do to be so watertight.

If Fang Ziye wasn't so outstanding, and Deng Yong let him graduate early, who would investigate him?

If it weren't for you, Fang Ziye, how could the fact that Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi was manipulated behind the scenes by Deng Yong have been exposed?
If this matter hadn't been exposed, how could Wang Yuanqi have been directly dismissed and left Zhongnan Hospital in such a disgrace?

Similar incidents are common throughout the country.

The difference is that some people's work is full of flaws, while others' work is flawless. You know it's true, but you just can't find any fault with it.

Take that Associate Professor Xie, for example. Based on Fang Ziye's understanding of her, she certainly has the qualifications and talent, but to say that she was able to be promoted to the position of associate professor so early is more than 95% related to the Xie family, but you just can't find any flaws.

"So what do you plan to do in the future?" Liu Huanglong knew something about the Enshi Sanatorium, but not enough, and was very wary of it.

Even his father-in-law wouldn't dare to venture into such murky waters, so he was naturally wary of it as well.

"Just take things as they come and do your best," Fang Ziye said.

Fang Ziye didn't need to worry about the sanatorium's future; it seemed no one stipulated that the sanatorium's future had to be tied to Chen Song and his son Chen Guangbai. "That's true."

"Come back and safeguard what we have, and take back what we are entitled to. Then our generation will live up to the trust placed in us by our predecessors." Liu Huanglong also sighed.

He comforted her, saying, "Ziye, our Zhongnan Hospital has limited resources and experience, and you are still young."

"With the current development trend, the Department of Orthopedics at Zhongnan Hospital has the potential to break into the top ten in the country in terms of comprehensive strength."

"If our generation can accomplish this, then we will have done right by the pioneers who led the way for Zhongnan Hospital."

"In the process of moving forward, we have also provided treatment options for many patients who were originally unable to be treated. We have lived up to the expectations of our patients, society, and the research funding allocated to our department by the higher authorities."

"To have lived up to the expectations of our predecessors, our patients, and the trust placed in us by our leaders is already quite an achievement!"

"Besides, you are still young and have a long road ahead of you. Even without a leapfrog platform, Fang Ziye still has a bright future."

Liu Huanglong did not finish his sentence.

Every province hopes that its specialty will have an academician in charge, so that the allocation of resources will make the pie bigger.

His students are still around, and he's too far removed from this level of discussion to speak too directly.

"That's all."

"By the way, Teacher Liu, I have another question I'd like to ask you."

"You must have some scalpers contacting you too, right? How do you plan to resolve and handle this?"

“Some of these scalpers have close ties with our hospital leaders, while others have quite extensive connections.”

"We can't afford to offend them all, can we?" Fang Ziye asked.

If it were just three or five scalpers, Fang Ziye would definitely ignore them.

But recently I've encountered a dozen or so, almost twenty. Although Fang Ziye has rejected them all so far, there's no rule out the possibility of a thirtieth or fortieth.

If you don't understand something, ask. Fang Ziye still adheres to this principle.

"Humans have their own way, and rats have their own way."

"There is a righteous way. If it really is someone from our institute who brought it in uniform, we can be lenient with them to some extent. After all, we may have to come to this point in the future."

"But if it involves money, I will refuse it."

"Be careful someone doesn't set a trap for you." Liu Huanglong pursed his lips and tapped the table.

Liu Huanglong's suggestion did not enlighten Fang Ziye, as he had already considered this point long ago.

Now that he has just rushed back from the sanatorium to oversee things because of Han Yuanxiao's matter, if Fang Ziye still can't think of this under the current circumstances, he might as well change careers.

Liu Huanglong added, "Ziye, you have to believe that within the system, as long as you don't think about those two points, you are almost invincible."

"First, let's not talk about money."

"Second, let's not talk about promotion."

Liu Huanglong's suggestion coincided with Fang Ziye's idea.

Yes, I'll take things as they come and let things be. At worst, I'll be an associate professor or associate chief physician for life; I won't starve.

After all, Fang Ziye's current research title is researcher, which is a senior professional title in scientific research. This path can lead to any place Fang Ziye wants to go.

As for the rest, it's up to you whether it lags or not.

They can't just stop Fang Ziye from continuing his research, clinical work, and earning his salary.

"And Ziye, you can remember one more thing."

"Right now, no one can stop you from holding a senior professional title. You just need to wait patiently," Liu Huanglong said meaningfully.

Fang Ziye could have won a provincial award, and no one could have stopped him, since he had the honor to back him up.

But Fang Ziye's current situation may be different.

But now, the level of those who can endorse Fang Ziye is very high.

The saying goes, "A local official is more powerful than a distant one." No matter how much power those who have entangled with Fang Ziye wield, or how high their past positions were, as long as China continues to uphold the concept of development.

If Fang Ziye can become the next generation's "successor" or "leader", then no one can stop Fang Ziye or allow such a thing to happen.

The key point is that Fang Ziye needs to gradually move down that path, reach the top of the industry and profession, and become a real 'power holder'.

However, the only thing that still holds Fang Ziye back is his age.

However, being young is not a problem; being young means there is still time to wait and more room for error.

"Teacher Liu, come, have a small drink." Fang Ziye raised his glass and invited Liu Huanglong to drink with him.

At this moment, Fang Ziye thought of a saying: classics are not read, but rather resonate with one's life experiences, thus connecting the past and present...

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

This phrase is not only used for the death of a loved one.

……

After Fang Ziye and Liu Huanglong finished their dinner, another dinner invitation came along.

The message came from Yuan Weihong. Instead of discussing it with Fang Ziye, Yuan Weihong directly sent Fang Ziye the location, time, and private room for the meal.

That's how the medical industry is. Being a resident physician is a tough phase; you're not even an unknown person, you're just a pure laborer.

The attending physician stage is about working quietly and doing your job well.

Once you're promoted to the deputy senior level, even if you've barely made it through, the most obvious benefit is that your social circle and business opportunities will expand significantly. Many people will invite you out to dinner, hoping you'll become a member of their network of connections and resources.

Fang Ziye is "higher" than the average associate senior officer, so it is difficult for him to completely get rid of such mundane affairs, after all, this is not a military sanatorium.

"Master, who are the people we are having dinner with today?" Fang Ziye asked.

Fang Ziye has been here for a week and has gone out twice. Today is the third time. Each time he has a meal with people who are either currently in power or have been in power before.

Under the guise of expressing gratitude or thanking someone on their behalf, he dined with Fang Ziye.

"He was a patient of ours before. This time it was just a casual meal. He's been discharged from the hospital for a long time."

"It was just a dinner party between friends," Yuan Weihong explained.

"Is anyone from our hospital involved in organizing this?" Fang Ziye continued to ask.

Eating with others is a way to build relationships, which might make things easier for Fang Ziye in the future.

It will encompass many frameworks and networks within the system.

“This person, your master, has some connection with your master’s wife. I didn’t tell you when he came to our hospital for treatment before. I was afraid it would put pressure on you.”

"Aren't you scared now?" Yuan Weihong's reply was actually quite appreciative.

The more cautious Fang Ziye is now, the more at ease he feels, and the less he needs to worry about Fang Ziye.

“Alright, Master,” Fang Ziye replied.

After replying to the messages, Fang Ziye continued to respond to work-related questions in the group, asking about the progress of the clinical trial approval for the microcirculation device chemotherapy, and about the progress of Nie Mingxian's basic research on "tumor" "angiogenic induction," and whether further meetings were needed.

However, instead of good news from Nie Mingxian's research project, the cell line for 'neurodegenerative' diseases developed by Luo Tingzhu, Lan Tianluo, and Jie Han brought good news.

One of the cell lines has been passaged to the ninth generation, and the cell types have not changed, making it a relatively stable cell line.

In the small group chat, Fang Ziye said, "Not bad, not bad. If this cell line can be stabilized, you guys can be considered to have successfully established your sect."

"However, passing the task down to the ninth generation is not enough to complete the handover; it needs to continue."

"But there's no rush."

"By the way, how is the situation at the sanatorium now? Have there been any major changes in our surgical clinical group?" Fang Ziye asked again.

Lan Tianluo and Luo Tingzhu are the people Fang Ziye trusts the most, so Fang Ziye can ask them with peace of mind.

"The situation has gradually eased. Even Professor Tang Meng from the newly established vascular surgery department is planning to return home due to some personal matters."

"Associate Chief Physician Han Zhiliang of the Hand Surgery Department is also leaving."

Luo Tingzhu and Lan Tianlu each replied with a sentence.

"What about the research team?" Fang Ziye asked again.

"Professor Liang Yue from the Laboratory of Natural Drug Active Substances and Functions may also leave, but the others are currently quite stable."

“But Professor Pang Longshan, the head of the research group, has returned. However, Professor Pang is very unhappy and seems to be in a bad mood all the time,” Lan Tianluo replied.

Has Professor Pang returned?

"What about Professor Dou and Professor Hu Yiqiang?" Three professors went to Kyoto with Fang Ziye.

"I heard he's not coming back." Lan Tianluo's tone was uncertain.

"alright."

Lan Tianlu continued, "Senior brother, there is one more thing."

"Go ahead," Fang Ziye said.

"Professor Zhou Yan came back to our sanatorium yesterday and brought very bad news."

"Professor Zhou Yan said that, according to statistics, there have been many cluster infection incidents in the area where Mr. Chen Guangbai's medical device and drug production is located."

"Current investigations have revealed a high degree of homology with the 'bacterial' infection that previously occurred in Enshi. People from the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have come to Enshi..."
