Chapter 262: Can't Talk About Feelings, So Might As Well Focus on Career (Asking for Subscriptions)

After chatting with Luo Tingzhu, Fang Ziye discovered that Luo Tingzhu simply treated the previous incident in Respiratory Medicine as a minor episode in the past.

This minor episode did not affect her life, nor did it leave any shadow; it merely caused a bias in her options when making choices.

Fang Ziye did not ask Wu Xuanqi again about the matter of Luo Tingzhu's photo appearing in the group chat.

There was no such necessity.

Since he chose to believe, he might as well believe to the end.

At least, at this moment, Luo Tingzhu on the other side of the video call was eating ice cream with a "provocative" expression while smiling at the sun.

Mm, Luo Tingzhu's menstrual period is from the end of the month to the beginning of the month.

During this period, it is the time when Luo Tingzhu herself abstains from spicy food and cold drinks; now that the abstinence period has passed, she has become gluttonous again, hasn't she?

"Being poor is an illness, so working hard is still the cure."

"Otherwise, one can only go buy lottery tickets." Fang Ziye lamented.

The two talked in circles and eventually circled back to the topic, mainly Luo Tingzhu asking if Fang Ziye had time and was willing to travel; the United States is suitable for self-driving tours.

"Actually, if the distance is far, the round-trip travel expenses are the bulk. If the distance isn't far, eating, drinking, and entertainment are the bulk."

"My Senior Sister's boyfriend is also overseas, but not in the same state; they only meet once a month, and the related expenses aren't small either." Luo Tingzhu said very generously.

"Related expenses? What expenses?" Fang Ziye asked.

"Uh..." Luo Tingzhu quickly glossed over this sensitive topic, not giving Fang Ziye any chance to buffer in this regard at all.

"I don't know either, it's not that important."

"Senior Brother, I'm going to do experiments now." Luo Tingzhu waved and said.

Luo Tingzhu was actually thinking at this moment: Senior Sister said you don't confess but keep chatting flirtatiously...

"Xiao Luo, will you be my girlfriend?" Fang Ziye suddenly said.

Luo Tingzhu's waving hand stiffened, and in an instant her expression, movements, tone, mouth corners, everything became a bit flustered...

"Not good?" Fang Ziye watched Luo Tingzhu's hand still waving, pretending to be very disappointed.

Luo Tingzhu then started waving both hands in front of the screen: "No, that's not what I meant."

"Then that means it's good?" Fang Ziye asked again, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile.

Fang Ziye had no calculations, no budget; it was just a hot-headed impulse, and he confessed just like that.

Moreover, Fang Ziye's desire to express himself was extremely strong at this moment; Fang Ziye felt that this thing called feelings, this act of confession, inherently cannot be specially framed or fixed to a certain moment and time point.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a romance.

Romance should be free.

Luo Tingzhu's waving hands stopped, the corners of her mouth pursed into an arc; she forgot to nod and forgot her expression, merely using her right wrist as a neck, pinching her right hand into a fist, bending it several times like a beckoning cat, then bending it several times again...

Afterwards, Fang Ziye wasn't sleepy anymore, and Luo Tingzhu wasn't doing experiments either.

Luo Tingzhu had reserved the experimental operation station for 2:30 PM, but she only ended the video call at 2:25 PM.

Fang Ziye, on the other hand, only went out to shower at 2:30 PM.

Then when Fang Ziye went out, he discovered that Lan Tianluo was actually still secretly working overtime.

"Tian Luo, what are you doing?" Fang Ziye asked in puzzlement.

"Senior Brother, I want to record more data."

"I feel that this HK2 gene knockout animal model will subsequently belong to this Enshi laboratory, and I feel it's a pity."

"We must take it back to do it, and compete fairly with them." Lan Tianluo raised his head and explained this one sentence.

The experimental funding for Fang Ziye's HK2 gene knockout animal model, although partly from his own funding pool, the subsequent larger-scale specimens still relied on the laboratory's own funding.

Otherwise, with just the money in Fang Ziye's funding pool, only the first round of pre-experiments was done and it consumed more than half; the experiment fundamentally couldn't continue.

If the funding comes from the Yangyuan Project, then its ownership should also belong to the Yangyuan Project Group; only the corresponding patent applicant is Fang Ziye himself, and the published paper's corresponding author and first author can be Fang Ziye, without needing to be the Yangyuan Project Group.

And, the Yangyuan Project Group can carry out corresponding animal model establishment and such without Fang Ziye's authorization. Moreover, the Yangyuan Project Group also possesses the right to conduct subsequent experimental development with equal or even priority status compared to Fang Ziye.

When others put in money, they naturally become more proactive.

Equivalent to: Fang Ziye can take away the results, take away the papers, take away the patents, but cannot take away the data; these data must be retained as preliminary research for subsequent R&D.

"Tian Luo, don't be so stubborn."

"Go rest quickly."

"Where does a research project produce results in a short while?" Fang Ziye felt amused internally, feeling that Lan Tianluo just had a childish temper.

"Okay, Senior Brother." Lan Tianluo nodded, he wanted to say something but stopped.

After a while, Lan Tianluo asked again: "Senior Brother, our funding, can it not be used across disciplines?"

"That definitely won't work. If our research group's funding ultimately produces results from other disciplines, wouldn't that be a mess?"

"And it has no meaning for us either?" Fang Ziye said as a matter of course.

"Alright then." Lan Tianluo's face was full of regret, but obviously, all this, he had anticipated long ago.

In an instant, Fang Ziye understood Lan Tianluo's regret.

His eyeballs rolled around, then he asked: "Tian Luo, do you really possess a Mathematics doctorate and a Computer Science master's degree? And now you're a Clinical Medicine master's student?"

Fang Ziye suddenly recalled that previously, when Jie Han chatted with him once, he inadvertently brought up gossip and speculation about Lan Tianluo's true identity.

"Senior Brother, no, it's not." Lan Tianluo answered with absolute certainty.

"Really not? This isn't embarrassing." Fang Ziye said.

Lan Tianluo shook his head and said: "Really not, Senior Brother, if it were true, I would generously admit it..."

"If there's no money to talk about feelings, then just purely focus on career! ~"

This is the most genuine roar from the depths of Fang Ziye's heart.

No way, the Special Prize money doesn't know when it will be issued, and Fang Ziye doesn't want to pretend to be richer than he is, leading to next month's Huabiao and loans being overdue.

So, for a long period of time after that, Fang Ziye wholeheartedly settled down to accumulate Knowledge Points, as well as participate in Huang Kaikai's rehabilitation.

And the reason Fang Ziye only now dared to say he would participate in Kai Ye's rehabilitation was because, previously, Fang Ziye had added points to all three of his corresponding Rehabilitation Department skills up to Level 4, yet they remained completely useless.

For example——

Rehabilitation Medicine — Nerve Electromyography.

Rehabilitation Medicine — Massage.

Rehabilitation Medicine — Drug Therapy.

These are three major blocks, belonging to a packaged type of skill.

The operation is not complex, but the theory involved is very complex.

Three Level 4 skills, Fang Ziye accumulated one thousand five hundred Knowledge Points, all used up, still not a bit of use.

Ignorance, didn't know what to do, might be useful, might be beyond saving. This was Fang Ziye's only intuition when facing Huang Kai at the time.

This feeling continued until late June, when Fang Ziye finally accumulated over five thousand Knowledge Points again through various jungling, surgeries, rural rotations and free clinics, and added points to Manual Massage Technique, raising it to Level 5.

Only then did Fang Ziye finally, when facing Huang Kai's condition, feel not so powerless.

At least, Fang Ziye faintly had an illusion that perhaps, Fang Ziye himself could not restore Huang Kai's function through massage techniques, but Fang Ziye might help Huang Kai complete the transformation from 0 to 1.

What is called the transformation from 0 to 1.

0 is, complete paralysis.

And 1, is just not paralyzed, has some function, slightly better than now.

And this, Fang Ziye felt was enough.

As long as he could produce some slight 'miracle' on Huang Kai, so that others felt Huang Kai's rehabilitation had hope, had a certain shock value, then Huang Kai would be able to obtain more, better medical resources.

Fang Ziye himself certainly could not possibly, for Huang Kai, keep developing in Rehabilitation Medicine, and stay in Enshi forever.

But, Enshi has a Yangyuan, if Huang Kai's current situation could be changed, arousing their interest, it would be enough to let Huang Kai access better medical resources……

And these, temporarily, Fang Ziye had not mentioned to anyone.

And these, were all done silently by Fang Ziye for Huang Kai, equivalent to a kind of soothing operation, counting as a return for the good relationship with Huang Kaikai.

Moreover, Fang Ziye giving Huang Kai massage had already started before adding points to the Level 5 skill.

Once a day, ten-odd minutes each time.

Of course, not only was Fang Ziye the undertaker of the massage, there was another person, namely Cao Zhen, who would also come to the department every afternoon to give Huang Kai a massage once, thus forming twice-daily massage.

……

Time flows like water.

In a blink it was again late June, early July.

This day, Fang Ziye remembered very clearly, because Fang Ziye received his salary and subsidy again, and the June subsidy distributed in July was very timely.

So, this morning, before Fang Ziye was about to go give Huang Kaikai a massage before entering the surgery room, Fang Ziye discovered that Hong Du Lao Zhuren and a group of people were already surrounding Huang Kai's hospital bed.

It seemed the ward round wasn't finished yet, it seemed Hong Du Lao Zhuren was currently performing muscle strength testing movements for Huang Kai.

It seemed, Chen Lao Traditional Chinese Medicine and doctors Fang Ziye didn't recognize were also among the onlookers, they were there, seriously, meticulously, cautiously evaluating something.

The crowd surrounded together, so no one knew Fang Ziye was at the ward doorway preparing to enter.

Seeing this, Fang Ziye didn't disturb them further, but silently turned and left again, as if he had never come to the ward at all……

Only, not long after Fang Ziye turned back, bursts of applause came from inside the ward.
