Chapter 249

After Yuan Weihong collected his emotions for a good while, he then asked Fang Ziye some detailed questions with a slightly trembling voice.

The very first thing was to ask where Fang Ziye's experimental funding actually came from.

The bit of money Deng Yong gave Fang Ziye was nowhere near enough for Fang Ziye to squander on experiments like this.

Before the army arrives, provisions must go first!

Starting animal model experiments isn't something you can buy a chance at with just a few tens of thousands; at minimum it's hundreds of thousands thrown into the water each time——

After Fang Ziye explained everything to Master Yuan Weihong seriously and meticulously, Yuan Weihong gritted his teeth and exclaimed in a low, dry-duck-like voice, "Really? There's even a pregnant one?"

"Yes, Master, so I think maybe my luck was better, and during the first preliminary exploratory operation, I might have hit the correct model." Fang Ziye stood in the corridor outside the animal laboratory, talking on the phone while gazing into the distance.

In the distance, mountains linked together, verdant green jade.

The warm sun overhead brushed the face, scorching yet not restless.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I just got back from Enshi yesterday!" Yuan Weihong began to complain, his tone full of laughing scolding, not anger, but the trouble of having to make another trip.

"Master, the breeding teacher in the animal lab didn't mention this to me before either."

"I originally just wanted to learn from Associate Professor Hong Zili, burn some money to buy a chance, didn't expect to actually buy it." Fang Ziye explained.

Fang Ziye indeed had the suspicion of gambling, but Fang Ziye's gamble was not the kind seeking wealth.

"I'll depart this afternoon, arrive by evening, return at dawn..." Yuan Weihong divided up today's time like this.

He probably can't leave right now.

Today is the group's surgery day; Yuan Weihong has no teaching tasks, so he cannot leave his primary work for a not-so-important private matter.

Fang Ziye has currently tinkered out the possibility of a new gene knockout biological model; whether because of this animal experimental model's operational difficulty and the research depth it represents.

Or because HK2 is a rather special direction, both warrant Yuan Weihong having to rush to Enshi again.

"Okay Master, then I'll pick you up tonight." Fang Ziye said.

"Good, hanging up first, I'm off to the operating room." Yuan Weihong also happened to be found offline by someone just because he couldn't get through on the phone, nodding toward the distance while ending the chat with Fang Ziye.

After hanging up, Fang Ziye's mood instantly became extremely good.

This is a new animal model!

Although it's just a possibility, once it appears!

In the future if I want to get rich, it can provide the technical and patent support to open a small company. This life, doing a little business in this direction, I can achieve modest prosperity; and if the HK2 pathway becomes popular later, the money earned will be even more.

Of course, this is just the most superficial layer of meaning.

Then there's the HK2 gene knockout model project's benefit to Yuan Weihong, to the Master's School's future progress and development — that's definitely not small.

If, with such deep foundation in my Master's School, related pathway projects still refuse to come one time after another, then Fang Ziye can only say——

You win!

I'll go overseas then!

And mean it.

Naturally, there's also the higher significance in the scientific research field.

If individuals with HK2 gene knockout can survive, then biochemistry and physiology teachers will have many more things to do in the future.

Beyond simple glucose metabolism, do other glucose utilization pathways exist, equivalent to glucose metabolism pathways?

This is a bigger, more forward, more in-depth topic needing deep thought and exploration.

And as the first person to establish, in a living organism, a model where animals survive after HK2 gene knockout, Fang Ziye may be mentioned many times in the future when someone explores this aspect.

Just like now, when Fang Ziye writes papers, he cites others' literature and articles; in the future, others will cite Fang Ziye's project-related articles many times……

However, currently, thinking about these things is obviously a bit too far.

Eat first!

When Fang Ziye ate with Director Wu Guo Nan, he naturally didn't mention the experiment to them.

However, at the dinner, Teacher Shen Tao, as someone aware of how awesome Fang Ziye's current research level is, carefully explained Fang Ziye's current achievements while eating.

It can be said the whole dinner table, besides the speaking Shen Tao and Fang Ziye, everyone else turned to stone.

Just like before, in the Enshi Central Hospital laboratory, when Zhang Mingcan's Master's student Guan Hongming and others saw Fang Ziye's other several articles, the expressions were exactly the same.

Director Wu Guo Nan touched the Adam's apple of the envious man swallowing saliva beside him, then asked: "Teacher Shen Tao, can Xiao Fang's these two articles pretty much make him a Doctoral Supervisor?"

"Mm, it'll be early, and definitely early." Shen Tao nodded.

Doctoral Supervisor means Doctoral Student Supervisor.

To become a Doctoral Student Supervisor, the main thing is to have projects, have grants, and then with relatively high-scoring articles, early promotion is possible.

Of course, ordinary high-scoring articles might not make the school or hospital consider letting you become a Doctoral Supervisor early, but the papers Fang Ziye published can all become major support.

"In a few years we might have to change our address to Professor." Wu Guo Nan recalled, the Orthopedics Department at Peking Union Medical College Hospital seems to have a Professor, a Full Professor at thirty-six.

If Fang Ziye advances by about a year, that's just a few years, and then Fang Ziye can complete several jumps in rank.

This is too terrifying.

Shen Tao laughed and teased: "Actually you can change address now."

"Teacher Shen speaks well!" Fang Ziye almost immediately followed up the moment Shen Tao finished speaking.

With Fang Ziye's interjection, Director Wu Guo Nan and the others immediately followed Fang Ziye's lead and started addressing him.

No one dared say they couldn't call Shen Tao Professor early.

Hearing this, Shen Tao's face showed a strange color: "You and your teacher are exactly alike, both a bit cheap."

"No, Teacher Shen, this is me avoiding at least six years of detours!" Fang Ziye said with ringing conviction.

Shen Tao then understood Fang Ziye's meaning.

After Shen Tao returned and was promoted to Deputy Chief Physician, five years later if he can promote to Chief Physician then he promotes; if not, who knows how long the wait.

Calling early counts as avoiding detours too.

"I'm not doing commercial mutual flattery with you. Farewell." Shen Tao then excused himself to go to the toilet first.

Because of the topic just now, it seemed to have veered off a bit.

After Shen Tao left, Fang Ziye then said: "Look, Director Wu, I'm the one who can't afford to pay, so Teacher Shen isn't willing to flatter me, but Teacher Shen's excellence doesn't need commercial praise; it comes from genuine word-of-mouth, I'm just that kind of word-of-mouth..."

The current Fang Ziye had already gradually become harmonious with many people at Enshi Central Hospital; many jokes could be made, many jokes couldn't be made, and Fang Ziye himself grasped the measure clearly.

When it was time to blow his own trumpet, Fang Ziye didn't equivocate either.

So by the time Shen Tao came back from the toilet again, Fang Ziye openly admitted that he had published a total of three articles so far, and their impact factors were all decent.

But there was still one, the BMJ that Yuan Weihong spoke of, which was a matter where the eight characters only had a single stroke so far.

Shen Tao then said: "Ziye, let me tell you, don't think that just because something is very basic, and the breakthrough in results might not look that big, it could slip."

"The more fundamental something is, the deeper its research depth; once a breakthrough occurs, the influence produced is also greater."

"You can actually see that every important surgical technique invention, or new instrument development, their most original source of inspiration is actually very fundamental stuff..."

Shen Tao was comforting Fang Ziye, telling him not to be put under too much pressure by Yuan Weihong's arrogance.

Even if the article ultimately isn't published in BMJ, your results are out, and that excellence belongs uniquely to you.

Shen Tao felt that running into a teacher like Yuan Weihong was Fang Ziye's bad luck.

Who knows how much pressure Fang Ziye usually endures...

A dinner gathering, it's either for celebration, or for talking and drinking, or for chatting and bragging, or all of the above; there's no necessity to have an absolute theme.

Very quickly, the dinner gathering came to a conclusion!

Just, at the end when Wu Guo Nan went to pay the bill, he discovered the settlement had already been settled by Fang Ziye, so borrowing the alcohol's influence he also scolded Fang Ziye a few sentences, saying you're a student, with so many superiors present, when is it your turn to pay?

Also saying what, before it was just joking and such...

Fang Ziye could only stand by and listen.

But Wu Guo Nan might have also drunk a bit too much; after scolding, he didn't let the boss refund the previous settlement slip so he could re-settle.

Instead, he scolded the person, turned around, and walked out.

Equivalent to Fang Ziye treating guests to a meal, settling the bill and still getting scolded by the person he treated; this is purely spending money to find discomfort.

Of course, Fang Ziye also knew that maybe Wu Guo Nan was a bit too drunk, that's why he was confused. Plus, many of Fang Ziye's current subsidies aren't things Enshi Central Hospital is obligated to give.

Director Wu Guo Nan originally gave Fang Ziye quite a few benefits in private, so the accounts shouldn't be calculated that clearly, right?

Shen Tao then walked over to soothe: "Director Wu drank too much, don't take it to heart; after he wakes up, he'll compensate you the money."

"Little Fang, do you still have matters? If no matters, go out together to sing some MK?" Shen Tao asked Fang Ziye, meaning, not many people beside, can all go together.

After all right now, there's only Mao Mao, honestly wearing black-rimmed glasses, standing there.

"Teacher Shen, how about you discuss with my Master, I have an appointment with my Master in the evening for matters." Fang Ziye thought a bit; the best reason to refuse Shen Tao was Yuan Weihong.

"For real or fake?" Shen Tao recently seemed to have a psychological shadow from Yuan Weihong; hearing those few words of Yuan Weihong, he felt a bit creeped out inside.

"Teacher Shen, really, why don't you contact him?"

"I'll contact his grandpa, me alone touching two, isn't he fragrant?"

"Ah, pui!" In front of non-Yuan Weihong, Shen Tao let his actions go quite open, as if wanting to march into the acting department.

Shen Tao turned to leave, then suddenly remembered, turned back and spat a scoundrel sentence: "Didn't Yuan Weihong just go back yesterday? Why come to Enshi again? Must be something pretty important."

Shen Tao spoke half, saw Fang Ziye's full face full of mysterious smiles.

Covering forehead: "Cao, I'm a scoundrel too, clearly guessed it but still had to ask."
