Chapter 139

Fang Ziye heard this, and his heart tightened slightly.

"Master, I myself have great respect for traditional medicine and Chinese medicine. Before, I had a relative who was also cured by Chinese medicine."

"Although I don't know how to do it, can I know why?" Fang Ziye adhered to the principle of asking when he didn't understand.

Teacher Deng heard this and took a fierce drag of his cigarette.

"There is an old Chinese doctor in Enshi. He used to be the Vice President of the Huaguo Traditional Chinese Medicine Society. I don't know if he is still in Enshi now. You just don't speak nonsense, otherwise if you really provoke his dislike, even I, your Master, won't be able to plead for you properly."

"Of course, an elder like this, under normal circumstances, definitely wouldn't bother with the likes of you."

"But old guy, old guy, an old person's temper, we cannot fathom, cannot offend, so we must be cautious in words and deeds. Because a prefecture-level city hospital is not the same as our hospital. Understand?" Teacher Deng instructed.

Fang Ziye remembered this sentence dead to rights.

There is someone in Enshi that even Teacher Deng cannot afford to offend. If he offends him once, he is done for.

No way.

"There are also some other things that Yuan Weihong might not have told you this deeply."

"That is, after you go to Enshi Central Hospital, when interacting with the Directors, especially the Bone Surgery Chief or the Trauma Surgery Director, you must be extra careful."

"And pharmaceutical reps also need to be careful. Don't have any special financial disputes or entanglements with them."

"Li Professor and the hospital have applied for a rural rotation subsidy for you. Not much, but it should about cover your living expenses and rent."

"Have you found your house?" Teacher Deng asked with concern.

Fang Ziye hurriedly nodded: "Master, you are too thoughtful. I am originally from Ba County, Enshi. I have a distant relative who has a house in the community right opposite Enshi Central Hospital."

"Currently they are all still in the town, so the house was vacant. I rented it for half a year for a symbolic three thousand yuan."

Five hundred yuan a month, and it's a house inside the community, three bedrooms one living room. Fang Ziye himself felt embarrassed.

But there was no way. This is his mother's cousin's house. It was his mother who negotiated the price. The other party, giving face to this, couldn't ask for a higher price.

Three thousand for half a year, a three-bedroom one-living-room in a community near the hospital. It's a cabbage price.

However, Fang Ziye himself is sensible. He is familiar with this aunt. This uncle's impression of Fang Ziye is also not bad. Hearing it was for Fang Ziye to stay during his rural rotation exchange, he basically didn't put on official airs.

He even said no money needed, but not taking money still doesn't sit right.

If it was Fang Ziye's own maternal uncle's vacant house, then Fang Ziye staying for free for half a year or a year would be justified.

Relatives also have degrees of closeness.

"That's good then. Anyway, after you go, you got 1k from the school application, the hospital gives you 1k, our department can't give you, but me and Yuan Weihong together give you 1k. It's about enough."

"But you also don't dislike that Master gives little." Teacher Deng said.

Fang Ziye's head instantly shook like a rattle drum.

Joke. Having money given is already not bad. Fang Ziye planned to pay entirely out of his own pocket.

"Thank you, Master. It's already very, very much." Fang Ziye hurriedly poured Teacher Deng another cup of water.

Don't underestimate three thousand yuan. Three thousand yuan might be a monthly salary many people can't get.

Half a year is eighteen thousand. Rent is three thousand. Half a year fifteen thousand living expenses. There will definitely be surplus. This doesn't even count the hospital still giving Fang Ziye a month of resident training subsidy, and the school's three months of funding subsidy.

Resident training subsidy is 900 a month. School funding subsidy is 6000 a year, monthly average five hundred.

Fang Ziye's resident training subsidy can only be collected until April. By then he won't be in resident training anymore. Taking money then, Fang Ziye himself would feel uneasy.

"Master, does the cured meat still suit your taste? If it suits your taste, I'll bring some more next time I go back." Although Fang Ziye went to Enshi, if the opportunity is suitable, he will still return to Han City.

Guide the fellow trainees on weekends. Don't let the two fellow trainees be wild like me.

The two fellow trainees' help to me is not small. Relationships are built through interaction, not deep-rooted.

Deep-rooted, born that way. Only blood relatives.

"This stuff isn't good to eat too much of. Don't trouble yourself. Just study well."

"Let me tell you one more point..." Teacher Deng chatted with Fang Ziye for a full half hour plus, then left the office first, rushing to the operating room.

However, Fang Ziye stayed in the office, digesting for another ten plus minutes, only then realizing that as a Director, and the hospital's administrative department, when recruiting talent, they all have what kind of tactics.

Honey traps need no elaboration. Even possibly when Yuan Weihong goes for rural support, there will be pretty nurses accompanying.

Even in some prefecture-level city hospitals, when recruiting nurses, there are certain appearance requirements. Requiring regular facial features. You can't even argue reason. This is a hidden regulation.

It's not saying selling a persona. Being able to facilitate a good match through the hospital's quality resources is originally a good thing.

Second is money temptation.

For example, a young guy like Fang Ziye who has never left the thatched cottage. You go there. During your counterpart exchange, they give you thirty thousand a month. Do you want it?

Don't want it? Forty thousand.

Still don't want it? Fifty thousand!

Prefecture-level city hospitals spare no expense with annual salaries of five to six hundred thousand to recruit a very excellent Doctor. Look, can you withstand the temptation?

After money temptation, naturally there are others. For example, team building stuffing you in. Not just the hospital's staff, but also some teachers, civil servant nature quality opposite sex. As long as your Dao heart is unstable, seeing a pretty girl, you can't walk the path anymore.

Then you just happen to feel life in the prefecture-level city hospital is comfortable enough. Can you escape?

Fang Ziye thought for a long time, then silently let out a breath of relief.

Life's road is long. The world is also very big. His current vision is tiny.

Truthfully, when Fang Ziye heard fifty thousand monthly salary, his heart thumped hard. But luckily Yuan Weihong told him the pressure behind fifty thousand monthly salary, making Fang Ziye retreat back.

To get fifty thousand monthly salary in a prefecture-level city hospital, you definitely have to get face standard grants within a certain time, leading the department forward many steps. These are all equivalent to recruited Discipline Leader level Chiefs.

You're a small physician. Don't think too much.

Moreover, society's matters, Fang Ziye indeed doesn't understand too much. Can only slowly walk forward. Choose your own goals and direction. Having no second thoughts is fine.

Now, society's overall divorce rate is as high as over forty percent. And Fang Ziye also heard someone counted surgeons' divorce rate, which is even very high.

So, through this data, it can be inferred that once a person has money, all kinds of temptations naturally arrive. And whether you can guard your original heart is the only thing you can choose yourself.

Fang Ziye finished thinking. Looked at his remaining knowledge points. High at 1300 points. This set his mind at ease.

After packing up his mood, Fang Ziye then stepped toward the operating room.

In the operating room, the whole team was still lined up in a row.

Even without Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing snatching opportunities, and without Luo Tingzhu — this genius girl — making Teacher Deng value her, the assisting personnel were still very considerable.

Naturally, Fang Ziye's first surgery came later, but for the second surgery, Teacher Deng pulled Fang Ziye onto the operating table and had him simply make an incision.

Just letting Fang Ziye expose down to the muscle layer, he completed it in a standard, by-the-book manner.

Not to say it was particularly dazzling, but if you consider Fang Ziye's age, it was definitely stunning; however, considering the overall picture, calling it dazzling would be a bit of an exaggeration.

Whether it was Yuan Weihong or Xie Jinyuan and the others, their proficiency was much higher than Fang Ziye's — at least hovering between Level 3, 400-500 proficiency.

Even Xie Jinyuan, Fang Ziye speculated he had very likely reached Level 4 proficiency.

Qin Geluo was slightly worse, but should also be between 200-400 proficiency.

But good enough is fine; it still didn't prevent the other Doctor Senior Brothers from looking at Fang Ziye's ability with solemn respect, plus the Junior Brothers found it shocking.

So it turns out, Senior Brother Ziye can be this formidable...

Even the two Visiting Doctors Dong Cheng and Li Yuanhong, their eyes flickered constantly when looking at Fang Ziye.

No other reason: Fang Ziye's current operational ability was faintly even more mature than theirs, and they were people about to be promoted to Deputy Chief Physician!

Incision technique and debridement technique are both the core of Trauma Surgery.

Cutting skin is just the simplest entry step; later, bone plastic surgery, muscle and tendon plastic surgery — those are the biggest battlefield for trauma surgeons.

After the day's surgeries ended.

It reached the time node when Fang Ziye was about to leave Han City, briefly going to Enshi.

Yuan Weihong is the teacher, he couldn't possibly see him off — it should be the reverse. So Fang Ziye still had to, today, treat people to a meal; not many people, just Li Yuanpei, Jie Han, Lan Tianluo, and Shu Lang who currently lives in the same community as him.

Too many people, he couldn't afford to treat them.

After the invited people had more or less all arrived, Fang Ziye was just about to lead the group off when unexpectedly, Yuan Weihong actually sidled up beside him and said in a low voice: "Professor Li Guohua and Teacher Deng each got you 700,000 and 800,000 in research funding applications; this belongs solely to you."

"Making empty promises isn't Teacher Deng's hobby; only things in hand can be explained to you."

After Yuan Weihong finished speaking, he patted Fang Ziye's shoulder and left.

As if giving Fang Ziye the most steadying reassurance shot.

Fang Ziye was moved in an instant, because after so many, many years, he had never had this feeling of being valued so much; 1.5 million total in research funding — looking at the PhD circle of Zhongnan Hospital, even Hong Zili Associate Professor's team couldn't possibly cultivate a PhD this lavishly.

Unless it's those few super teams in Internal Medicine, or Dean Wang's team in Urology, only they could possibly give a PhD over a million in funding!

Master and Grandmaster both did their utmost.

Master also did his utmost.

Then my choice is worth it!

After collecting his emotions for a while, Fang Ziye suppressed the emotion and once again blended in with everyone.

"Go go go, today we have to drink a bit. Yuanpei, you drink too; anyway tomorrow's the weekend, you're not on duty, right?" Fang Ziye invited.

Among those here now, he and Li Yuanpei were the oldest; the others were all younger brothers.

"Okay, drink a bit; anyway I'm happy." Li Yuanpei smiled.

Lan Tianluo immediately gave Fang Ziye a popular-science explanation: "Senior Brother, Brother Pei's debridement technique and incision technique — the two key basic operations of Trauma Surgery — have both passed the threshold, you know?"

Lan's passing the threshold means reaching the top-tier graduation standard for Trauma Surgery Master's graduates — just reaching Level 3.

But this is already no easy feat.

For this step, Li Yuanpei has eaten a lot of bitterness.

The workload of suffering might not be as much as me doing experiments, but suffering is suffering.

Fang Ziye then said: "I just knew, Brother Pei wouldn't be knocked down by a few words."

"You're Yuanpei, the Yuanpei who's a big shot with double harvest in research and clinical work."

Li Yuanpei immediately shivered and said: "Industry Brother, I suspect you're being sarcastic at me."

Although the tone was a bit aggrieved, it wasn't as silent as before.

Li Yuanpei let his Master suffer grievance — at least the grievance he understood — he felt only by producing results could he walk out of that haze; now Li Yuanpei has already walked more than half the road, he saw the future.

Master choosing me might be a loss, compared to Song Yi it's a loss, but the current me and the past me — Master's choice is not a loss.

During the banquet, Fang Ziye and Li Yuanpei mainly gave a demonstration to the three — Lan Tianluo, Jie Han, and Shu Lang.

Demonstrating that between same-cohort classmates, there shouldn't be too many knots; it can be not as good as the Fellow Disciple bond, but classmate friendship and interaction mode, to a certain extent, is actually something Fellow Disciples can't match.

Fang Ziye then, in front of the two Junior Brothers, instructed Li Yuanpei to guide his own Junior Brothers more; if there are problems, he also hopes Li Yuanpei will ask the Senior Brothers more for things he doesn't understand himself.

Fang Ziye was a bit drunk; in his drunken rambling, Fang Ziye recounted his 'debasement' and 'scruples' during his graduate period — Master's Year 1 and Year 2.

In silence, groping, seeking a mode of consulting Senior Brothers; in the situation of not being a direct-line Junior Brother, how to explore a path that would let Senior Brothers help review medical records.

"Yuanpei, don't look at me like that; I'm not complaining to you or anything — this really is my whole journey. Saying it's not heartbreaking is fake; saying I'm not lucky is also fake."

"Let me tell you, do you know how many times Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing silently guided me?"

"Do you know how many medical records Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing revised for me?"

"Do you know how many times Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing took the blame for me?"

"You all don't know, but I know; only even though I know, I have no way to repay Senior Brother anything. He's three years older than me, three cohorts higher; when I was about to graduate, he had already graduated, facing the pressure of job hunting."

"Even since July last year, Senior Brother Sun was already under great pressure, no longer the former high-spirited, laughter-loving, help-loving Senior Brother Sun..." Fang Ziye's words all came from the heart, even he himself had kept them tucked away in a corner, never mentioned.

Sun Shaoqing could help him because Sun Shaoqing's ability was enough, accumulation was enough, but he had no chance to help Sun Shaoqing — this was Fang Ziye's own inability.

The Master's School resources aren't that many either...

Li Yuanpei was silent first, then acknowledged all of Fang Ziye's thoughts and words, and toasted Fang Ziye a cup.

"Industry Brother, drink one; past things are all past."

Jie Han and Lan Tianluo, muddle-headed, hurriedly accompanied him; they completely didn't need to consider the hardships Fang Ziye spoke of, because Fang Ziye had already guarded the passes for them all along the way, not letting them experience that kind of loneliness.

Shu Lang, on the other hand, pondered inwardly.

After this second half of the year passes, he will no longer be a Master's Year 2 graduate student; he will face the triple pressure of graduation, PhD study, and work; although he doesn't understand Fang Ziye's suffering of having no Senior Brother, he very clearly understands Fang Ziye's psychological struggle when he had no output...

How precious the current PhD enrollment opportunities are, the PhD application assessment, how competitive it is.

"Drink one, it's all in the past, things will get better and better from now on." Fang Ziye let his voice go, in an instant releasing all his emotions.

Lan Tianluo and Jie Han, the two of them, sent Fang Ziye home, confirmed Fang Ziye wasn't completely drunk, at least could clearly know any information, only then did they know Fang Ziye probably wouldn't inhale by mistake, only then did they feel at ease leaving.

Just, the two little cute ones, before pushing the door out, each slightly nodded at Fang Ziye: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

"Go rest, tomorrow is the weekend, but you also have ward rounds. I also need to slightly pack my luggage, planning to leave tomorrow."

"Also, although I instructed Li Yuanpei, but you must not go inquire about every trivial little matter."

"Not fellow disciples of the same small group, don't trouble others like this. Because others have their own matters too, lest you be rebuffed, but if there's something you really don't understand, you must ask more, ask Master or ask Senior Brother, you must ask regardless."

"Different households, real brothers cannot exist, it's all favor exchange, understand?" Fang Ziye said this toward the doorway direction.

Fang Ziye only told them how Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing treated him well, naturally wouldn't mention what things he helped Senior Brother Sun Shaoqing do.

But it's all in the past, the future Lan Tianluo and Jie Han, have a Senior Brother.

The two left, Fang Ziye first lay splayed on the bed, savored for a while.

After a bout of complex expressions on his face, he promptly sprang up and began packing his things.

Summer and spring clothes need to bring some, arrived at Enshi, also need to buy some new ones, after all going to a new work unit.

After packing up, Fang Ziye separately sent a greeting message to Yuan Weihong, Deng Yong, Associate Professor Hong Zili, and Qian Qiaofeng, Dong Wenqiang and others, then fell into sleep.

Next day, early six o'clock, Fang Ziye together with Doctor Li Yuanhong who was on advanced study ate breakfast, hot dry noodles with soy milk, then took a taxi rushing to the train station, heading straight for Enshi direction...

All along the way, Fang Ziye again inquired with Li Yuanhong about various information regarding Enshi Central Hospital, full of vigor, and eyes agile, as if a little Qi with infinite energy...

End of month, can everyone still give some monthly tickets?
