Chapter 246

The one presenting the award to Fang Ziye was an old professor with many titles and very senior standing, even older than Professor Li Guohua.

He was probably at the Elder level.

Fang Ziye had never heard of him, but even so, he could feel that after he went on stage, everyone gave him round after round of applause.

After receiving the award, Fang Ziye took the microphone and encouraged them: "I'm very happy to hear that a student can achieve such good results in the Youth Physician Competition."

"This shows that our Hubei Province's medical system is moving forward, excellent talents are being increasingly discovered and valued, and our talent pool will become younger and younger."

"I've been retired for many years, so I won't put any pressure on you. I just hope more students can be ambitious from a young age, but not hesitate and achieve nothing!"

"I hope that next time the competition is held, it will be even more wonderful than this time."

"This time's Hubei Province Youth Physician Competition, I announce, has been successfully held and concluded perfectly..."

Next came thunderous applause, like a tide.

It did not subside for a long time.

As if prosperity was at its peak.

But when prosperity reaches its extreme, decline must follow.

After the competition ended, the academic exchange venues for various disciplines also gradually drew to a close.

After the close came the moment of parting.

For example, Fang Ziye hadn't even had time to invite Teacher Deng and Yuan Weihong to eat together; after the two casually grabbed a few bites at the cafeteria, they directly boarded a plane and rushed back to Han City.

The reason Teacher Deng was so busy was that he had promised a surgical consultation that afternoon and had to save every bit of time to get there.

Wang Zhongxing of Enshi Central Hospital had originally planned to drive them off, but was refused by the two, and instead the three chose to take a taxi.

At the airport entrance, Deng Yong and Yuan Weihong each encouraged Fang Ziye a few words and praised him a few times, feeling that Fang Ziye's studies after going to Xia'en City had not fallen behind, but had improved greatly.

Proving Fang Ziye had found a learning method and outstanding learning anchor suited to him, truly worthy of being called rapid progress.

But similarly, Teacher Deng, in the airport departure hall, without any companions accompanying him, gave Fang Ziye another sentence.

"Ziye, character does not defeat professionalism. But professionalism does not elevate character either."

"Don't think that because we are surgeons, we don't need cultivation or culture. Perhaps in the end, what we compete on is still cultural foundation, not just technical level."

"Watch and comprehend on your own, do not go astray." Teacher Deng's reasoning was somewhat illusory.

But the first thing Fang Ziye thought of was Teachers Pang Shu and Ning Jindong, who gave him a lesson through their own life experiences.

Fang Ziye nodded to Teacher Deng.

"I remember it, Master. I will savor it carefully in the future." Fang Ziye replied solemnly.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself either. Don't let character be defeated, but also don't set up a character label for yourself. Once you create a persona for yourself, you'll have a burden and live very tiredly."

After speaking, Teacher Deng glanced at Yuan Weihong.

Without saying more: "Let's go, we need to keep rushing to the venue."

Yuan Weihong immediately smiled hehe and followed beside him, taking Teacher Deng's handbag.

The two walked stylishly into the security check area and said nothing more to Fang Ziye.

But when Fang Ziye turned back, in the departure area he happened to meet several teachers who were on the same flight as Teacher Deng.

One of them was Pang Shu of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the others Fang Ziye did not know.

Fang Ziye was waiting for a car, they were just getting out of the car, and Pang Shu's expression was somewhat disappointed and dazed.

But he still forced a smile back to Fang Ziye, and then the phone rang.

Pang Shu answered, his voice somewhat angry: "You must not listen to rumors, okay? I'll explain to you when I get back."

"Me? Don't be so emotional, can you give me a chance to explain? Must you leave?"

"......"

Fang Ziye's emotions stirred slightly, and just then the ride-hailing car arrived at the gate ahead. Fang Ziye crossed the zebra crossing, reached out to stop several taxis about to start and cross the line, and got into his own ride-hailing car.

When he turned back, Fang Ziye properly received Senior Brothers Wang Yuanqi, Yan Zhiming, and others.

They hadn't gotten plane tickets, so they could only bitterly wait for the high-speed train home, which was at three in the afternoon, so they could still eat together at noon.

The teachers were there to see them off, but these fellow disciples also needed to be received.

Fang Ziye had found a place to eat in advance; these fellow disciples were probably all there and waiting for him.

A few days ago, because the superiors were present, Fang Ziye hadn't had much time to receive them; he had two Masters who needed to be treated well.

When Fang Ziye entered the private room again, the dishes inside were already all served, and there was an empty seat and a cup of wine waiting for him.

Li Yuanpei stood up voluntarily and said: "Ziye, come come come, today you are the boss, sit here."

Fang Ziye looked at Wang Yuanqi at first glance.

At this time, Gu Yi was not there; this second-year doctoral student senior brother of his had the highest status.

Wang Yuanqi said: "Ziye, don't look at me. Today you are treating, today you won the award, and right now, among all the younger generation in our group, only your research and professional skills are the most awesome."

"Anyway, there are no superiors here, you sit here, it's reasonable and proper, and it's also what everyone expects."

"And, don't talk about so many rules. No matter how many rules you talk about, not a drop of this cup of wine can be missing." Wang Yuanqi rotated his long neck like a duck neck, smiling meaningfully.

"Senior Brother, then I'll take the liberty once."

"You are not allowed to have any opinion of me." Fang Ziye thought; things had come to this point, so he might as well sit. Anyway, this drink and this meal were impossible to escape.

Fortunately, he didn't need to use Hua Biao to fill his wallet yet.

After Fang Ziye sat down, Wang Yuanqi first arranged for everyone to drink a cup of coconut juice, then eat, before it was time for the small wine segment.

"Ziye, you're not on duty, right?" As a senior brother, Wang Yuanqi knew Fang Ziye still had tasks at Enshi Central Hospital, so he asked in advance.

If Fang Ziye was willing, he could use this reason to perfunctorily refuse.

But the senior brothers had already been so considerate and given him so much face; to perfunctorily refuse them would be too unfair.

"Senior Brother, spare me, don't get me drunk! ~" Fang Ziye held up his wine glass, cupping his hands.

"That depends on your performance. Look, there are so many of us here. And Yan Zhiming, and your classmate Li Yuanpei."

"As for the other fellow trainees, no need to say much — they have to watch your expression, but us three?"

"You only said you see through me, that's not enough, is it?" Wang Yuanqi spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

……

Wine glasses clinked.

Actually Fang Ziye wasn't pressured to drink either, just a cup and a half, three liang's worth.

Slightly buzzed, but not to the point of being drunk.

At this moment, Wang Yuanqi had quite the air of "the wine doesn't intoxicate, people intoxicate themselves": "Ziye, I really envy you, double harvest in research and clinical, stronger than us senior brothers."

"I estimate after you go back, the Personnel Department will prepare to discuss the contract with you, before your graduation they'll finalize your job first."

Hearing this, Yan Zhiming said: "Brother Qi, you actually have a chance too, Ziye ascends, but you can also ride the wind and rise?"

Yan Zhiming is only a first-year doctoral student; during Fang Ziye's major breakthrough phase, he didn't have much connection with Fang Ziye, so in Fang Ziye's published papers, he wasn't listed as a nominal author.

However, Li Yuanpei, Fang Ziye's classmate, and Wang Yuanqi were all listed as third author.

Must not underestimate the third authorship on such a paper!!!

As long as one gets involved with this team, it's enough to write it on one's own resume.

But after all it's only third author; if Wang Yuanqi wants to fight for hospital retention, he still needs his own output, but there's a big chance.

After all Wang Yuanqi's professional operation was originally quite strong; he entered via the professional recruitment route for his doctorate.

"Temporarily still don't know; as of now, opportunity definitely exists."

"But I estimate it'll be very slim, because Ziye will also graduate the same year as me, right?" Wang Yuanqi suddenly said this.

Fang Ziye hearing this froze, didn't respond.

At the same time, Yan Zhiming and Li Yuanpei both let out a slight breath of relief.

The other fellow trainees stared blankly at Fang Ziye and Wang Yuanqi, as if watching two tigers contend, only Fang Ziye is a real tiger, while Wang Yuanqi is just a tiger-colored cat.

How are these two going to fight.

Wang Yuanqi seeing everyone go cold, then said: "Come come come, finish the last bit, then we'll go wait for the train."

"No matter what, everyone's still good brothers; future cooperation, exchange, still as before."

"I'll take a big one, learning from Senior Brother Sun's example, upholding the eldest senior brother's identity, say a few words here!"

"Whether job hunting or competing for doctoral quotas, it's not the end of fellow disciple bonds, only the beginning; this point, me and Gu Yi two people, saw through long ago."

"Speaking of it, everyone has fate, in the same age stage, able to stay together in one sect, this is an indescribable fate."

"Right, very lucky to meet so many excellent fellow disciples, including Senior Brother Sun, including Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei whom many of you might not know, all the same."

"In the future, when we go to where the senior brothers are, not to mention other things, food and lodging at least will have hospitality……"

Sun Shaoqing is the previous class's graduated doctorate, while the Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei Wang Yuanqi spoke of is a graduated doctorate senior brother Fang Ziye only met once when he first arrived in his first year of master's.

Even Senior Brother Wang Yuanqi never met Senior Brother Lin Xuanlei; him knowing of him is probably all hearsay.

Everyone nodded, drank a cup together.

Then the dinner ended, then took a taxi to the train station……

When Fang Ziye was on the return journey, he suddenly discovered!

He seemed to have become just a lone single person again.

The masters needing accompaniment have already left, fellow disciples have also returned, Fang Ziye is still just that Fang Ziye, only added a Special Prize title, besides that, nothing else different.

After prosperity, all is ordinary.

No clamor, no glory, just an ordinary ordinary person walking on the street, nobody recognizes him.

Fang Ziye just thought this, and he got face-slapped.

"Doctor Fang, good afternoon." Someone greeted Fang Ziye.

Turning back, it was a small nurse from an operating room in Enshi Central Hospital, also walking toward the community direction, she with her best friend, holding milk tea, smilingly waving at Fang Ziye……
