Chapter 533

Jin Hongzhou sat in the consultation room, wearing a white coat, and opposite him sat a special bald man, wearing a hoodie and a denim jacket.

Fang Ziye could only see his back, and the reason he was said to be rather special was because his scalp was wrinkled and covered with red bumps!

If one had to draw an analogy, perhaps the only similar scalp Fang Ziye had seen in his childhood was on "Qiu Qianchi" in TV dramas.

Qiu Qianchi only wore a scalp prop, but on this Big Brother's head, it was the real deal.

Fang Ziye also noticed a wig placed on his right-hand side, his right hand continuously grabbing and pinching inside the wig, the movements exceptionally stiff.

A hoarse voice, very strange: "Doctor Jin, I've come so many times, how come Doctor Fang has time today, but didn't before?"

Jin Hongzhou lifted his eyelids and glanced, saw Fang Ziye appearing right at the doorway, then tilted his head back and said, "Ziye, you're here! ~"

Following Jin Hongzhou's words and gaze, the man also turned around.

The man's face revealed no specific age, several very prominent scar bumps stood on his forehead, his eyebrows were completely gone, a pair of eyes, left and right eyelids pulled into one large and one small.

He wore a mask, his specific features unclear, but his neck also had bump-like flesh growths.

From head to neck, not a single patch of normal skin color could be seen.

As he turned, it could be seen his two hands roughly kept their shape, but fingernails were gone, and both hands' movements were quite stiff.

"Zhou Ge." Fang Ziye stepped inside, walking forward while under the man's scrutiny.

The man's strange tone entered Fang Ziye's ears again, with a few more points of surprise and doubt: "Doctor Jin, is he Doctor Fang? Could it be a mistake?"

Looking at Fang Ziye's age, he was only around thirty years old, at most early thirties.

In his view, an expert so highly praised by others should be at least a mature middle-aged person around forty, or even a middle-aged person around fifty, to match that identity.

Jin Hongzhou introduced: "Guo Zhou, this is the Doctor Fang you're looking for, our Trauma Surgery currently has only this one Doctor Fang, also the one you spoke of, a doctor with extremely awesome skills."

Jin Hongzhou was probably quite familiar with the person opposite, so the introduction didn't use any official tone.

"Ziye, this is Guo Zhou, he's actually come looking for you many times already."

"But you know, this is the Trauma Center, it's Emergency, not Outpatient Clinic, I don't have any particularly good solution either." Jin Hongzhou said.

The opposite party's identity was rather special, but first not fatal, second no emergency, he also couldn't just send the person into the Trauma Surgery department.

The current Trauma Surgery, many people are watching, it's not a place where Jin Hongzhou dares to send patients casually.

There are even rumors that Trauma Surgery has now virtually become the second High-ranking Official Ward in Zhongnan Hospital.

Fang Ziye just smiled and introduced himself: "Hello hello. I am Fang Ziye."

"Before I was always the Chief Resident, responsible for ward affairs, so never had the chance to go to Emergency or Outpatient Clinic."

"What are you looking for me for?" Although Fang Ziye had heard Jin Hongzhou relay the other party's request on the phone, he still had to verify in person to confirm.

Although Fang Ziye wore casual clothes, after being tempered by a series of events, his temperament had become increasingly steady; facing Jin Hongzhou's "flattery" despite being older than Fang Ziye, his expression still didn't change!

The man had also mixed in the system; a temperament like Fang Ziye's either meant family backing giving him the habit of a superior's bearing from childhood, or a territory built step by step through climbing and rolling in work.

A person who always ranked first, getting first again, you ask how he feels, he'll counter-ask what other feeling you want.

But if someone always hovering around twentieth or thirtieth place suddenly got first, he'd be very excited, very nervous, because the span from his previous grades was too large.

"Doctor Fang, I've finally run into you!" The man's eyes turned a few times, then hurriedly resumed a seeking-treatment demeanor.

"Before, my colleagues and leaders praised you to the skies!"

"My name is Guo Zhou, Guo from Guo Jia, Zhou from Shenzhou, not the same Zhou as Doctor Jin Hongzhou's." He spoke very slowly, tone very strange, but also tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.

Fang Ziye said: "Then thank your colleagues and leaders for their praise! I'll go in and put on a work uniform first."

Fang Ziye also had a work uniform hung in the Trauma Center Clinic, just for the convenience of previous consultations.

"Okay! ~" The man sat down again.

After Fang Ziye walked out again, the white coat was already on, but no name badge worn; Fang Ziye's name badge was still on sick leave in the Trauma Surgery doctor's rest room.

"Hello hello, Guo Zhou, can you roughly tell me your situation?"

"I see you're standing quite well too." Fang Ziye asked.

Guo Zhou then told his past once through.

Roughly a year ago, Guo Zhou participated in a fire disaster rescue scene, and while walking toward a gas tank to close the valve, the gas tank exploded.

Fire rushed his face, scalding his upper body, afterwards he was immediately sent to Peking Union Medical College Hospital's ICU for treatment!

His life was saved, and after Burn Department surgery, part of his function was preserved. But he also lost many prospects, practically facing forced retirement.

Current firefighter transfer placement isn't easy either.

More importantly, Guo Zhou is also quite miserable; wanted a daughter, first pregnancy was twin sons, so wanted to try once more for a daughter.

Result: his wife was very capable, directly gave birth to another set of twin sons!

After they were born, the Guo family was both happy and worried.

But the kids are born, can't just ignore them, right?

Four kids at home, twins breastfeeding together simply can't eat enough, formula money alone costs six to seven thousand a month...

"So, you mean you hope to save more function through surgery, then arrange a better post, want to earn more money?" Fang Ziye directly paraphrased his words into a more straightforward meaning.

Hearing this, Guo Zhou, though embarrassed, still nodded very honestly.

"Doctor Fang, there's nothing embarrassing about this, if my family only had two kids, after transfer, me and my wife gritting our teeth could still support them."

"Our salaries wouldn't make us feel like we'd starve."

"But, Doctor Fang, four? And four sons at that, when I transfer I must consider the salary issue."

"That's how it is, I also feel the pressure is extremely, extremely great! ~" Guo Zhou said.

Had he known it would be like this now, that second pregnancy he absolutely wouldn't have tried for a daughter; look where trying got him, trying until he has to risk his life.

Many jobs only let you be relatively well-off, absolutely cannot make you rich and noble.

Why relatively well-off? You're an ordinary civil servant, raising four kids, aren't you just asking for trouble?

Guo Zhou swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, then said slowly: "Doctor Fang, I've sought consultation at many, many hospitals, seen many professors and experts, they all advise me not to operate."

"Because even with surgery, there may be no benefit, instead you'd just suffer a cut for nothing."

"My colleagues, my superiors, they all suggested the same thing."

"But it's true, the actual situation doesn't allow me to lie flat. If I can't transfer to a position with a higher salary, I might have to quit bare-handed and start a business!"

"But Doctor Fang, you also know, starting a business is an even bigger pit. If it goes well, fine, but if it doesn't, and one of my kids starves to death, or my wife suddenly one day can't go on with me anymore, I absolutely don't blame her……"

Starting a business carries risks!

Fang Ziye said: "If based on your current physical condition and your demands, I would also advise you not to have surgery."

"Surgery is, after all, a trauma, and also a strike."

"Moreover, Guozhou, do you know? Your current demands actually don't have much to do with simple health, but rather belong to the category of 'bodybuilding'."

"In our medical view, as long as your function has no major difference from an ordinary normal person, there is no indication for treatment."

"The argument that you want surgery for higher wages and more abundant physical strength does not hold."

Guozhou's current situation is: he can eat, can sleep, can walk, can move, and has no symptoms of unbearable pain.

It can be said he has recovered quite well, he can even run okay.

It's just that his vocal cords have been affected, and his appearance has also been affected.

"But, Doctor Fang, I used to run very fast, my physical strength was much stronger than now. Back then, in our squad, none of the other brothers were unwilling to accept me."

"Now? I can't even count as bringing up the rear, and these hands of mine, picking up chopsticks, cooking a meal is okay, but if I go attend some task again, I can't even hold a tracheal cannula steady." Guozhou extended his "slender" two hands.

Guozhou didn't hear Fang Ziye's refusal, so he tentatively asked: "Doctor Fang, you have a way, right? You didn't, like other professors, just chase me away after hearing my words!"

"You definitely have a way."

The saying 'long illness makes a doctor' might not be right, but after seeking medical treatment many times, Guozhou had still trained the ability to observe words and expressions regarding changes in doctors' demeanor.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "No no no, you misunderstood."

"I definitely can't chase you away, and we doctors should actually listen to the patient's inner voice; chasing people away is wrong."

"But this surgery of yours, I also can't do it. It might not meet your psychological requirements!"

Functional Reconstruction Surgery, Fang Ziye currently only has one plan, and hasn't yet conducted the corresponding theoretical reserve and deduction.

This requires a very long property time.

A new surgery is absolutely not something you can just do because you want to; even though Fang Ziye's basic skills are now stronger than before, Fang Ziye can completely rely on his basic skills to snatch some function back for him.

But surgery is surgery, basic skills' single operation is single operation.

Heart-not-stopping-beating suturing technique is also a kind of suturing technique; can your average surgeon operate it?

Guozhou immediately, as if grabbing a lifesaving straw, said: "Doctor Fang, you say, whatever concerns you have, or whatever ideas, I can accept them all! ~"

Guozhou actually wanted to say in his heart: Doctor Fang, perhaps there's one point I've never told you, and Jin Hongzhou didn't tell you either, that is, me and him, still have intricate connections.

Guozhou's wife is the niece of Jin Hongzhou's maternal grandfather's own brother!

Although this relationship is a bit distant, it's still barely climbable as a connection.

In this place Han City, having this bit of connection is enough for the two families to interact.

Perhaps it's because this relationship isn't too close, so Jin Hongzhou didn't go all out to stuff him toward Fang Ziye, but also because it's not too far, so Jin Hongzhou also told him some other topics.

Fang Ziye's capability is very strong, and he's currently pondering doing this kind of surgery; if you're willing and anxious, you can try finding Doctor Fang.

"What do you mean 'can be discussed'?" Fang Ziye laughed.

"Big Brother, this isn't doing business, and it's not because I don't want to give you surgery that I'm not doing it, but this surgery it."

"Let me put it this way, this surgery is currently immature; do you still want to be a test subject?"

"I'll do it! ~"

"Anyway, gambling a shot, if it succeeds it succeeds, if not, I'll go down to the sea! ~" Guozhou said.

Guozhou saw Jin Hongzhou and Fang Ziye's strange gazes, hurriedly explained: "Going down to the sea to do business. Going down to the sea to do business."

"Society now is too impetuous, some words are almost played rotten. How would I dare mess with those things now?"

Jin Hongzhou heard this, smiled and said: "That's not certain, Guozhou, you only injured your hands and face, not your waist! ~"

Excessive force produces miracles!

Turn off the light, cover with the blanket, does the rich woman want to enjoy this face of yours?

Fang Ziye still shook his head: "If it's like this, I feel this surgery of yours is still not suitable to do."

"Thank you for your trust in me! ~"

Fang Ziye suddenly felt pressure mountain-big!

If the other party was because of their personal dream, personal career pursuit, wanting to do a Functional Reconstruction Surgery, Fang Ziye might still consider it.

He just wants to earn more money; if he fails to earn more money, the family will "not be able to lift the pot lid"!

This kind of pressure is the most basic food-and-clothing problem; how would Fang Ziye dare take it on?

"I can't do it! ~" Fang Ziye was this certain.

Jin Hongzhou hearing this, glanced at Fang Ziye, and also quite sensibly persuaded: "Guozhou, this Doctor Fang you've seen, you've also chatted."

"Since Doctor Fang said he can't do it, it's definitely can't be done; don't force things awkwardly!"

Although Jin Hongzhou didn't say his relationship with Guozhou, in his heart there must be a scale.

Fang Ziye's capability long ago surpassed him; now identity and status are both not ordinary; although Jin Hongzhou has no fellow disciple relationship with Fang Ziye, at least they've formed a segment of good karma.

If managed properly, later maybe he can mix in a professor-with-group position; he doesn't hope this bit of matter directly affects the relationship between him and Fang Ziye.

Guozhou was silent for a while, then raised his head again, looked at Fang Ziye.

Because he already had no way to raise his eyelids: "Doctor Fang, is it that you look down on me, so you're unwilling to give me surgery?"

"Or is it that you're afraid I'll find trouble for you?"

"I myself became like this, and it has no relation with you, Doctor Fang, right?"

Fang Ziye in his heart indeed thought this way, said: "Guozhou, your surgery demands are too indirect, or rather too vague; I don't even know what your specific target points are?"

"How can I do it well?"

"The patient's and the doctor's expected goals are inconsistent, and in the end, disagreements are very likely to arise."

"For example, I perform surgery on you, but when you eventually transfer posts, you still lack the capability to choose a better technical post."

"Then I can't explain it clearly either?"

It is basically impossible for Guo Zhou to transfer to an administrative post!

Although administrative posts have no explicit regulations on appearance and bearing, it is also impossible to be too undignified!

At least, so far, Fang Ziye has not seen a single leader who is completely disfigured!

It might be Fang Ziye's own insufficient experience, but he also feels there may be a latent rule in this regard.

You can be ugly, but you can't be too scary.

And if he were to get cosmetic surgery for this, it would obviously not be worth it, because his burns, and the damage reaching the skin's foundation, mean that even with cosmetic surgery, recovery is not necessarily possible!

"Doctor Fang, you just do your best, I won't pursue it."

"Because no matter how rotten, no matter how bad, I at least have a fallback." Guo Zhou said this through gritted teeth.

Given his current situation, it counts as imitation, he won an award, no matter how inadequate, they won't directly fire him, at most they'll just transfer him to a leisurely post!

As long as Guo Zhou doesn't die, he gets a bit every month, and it's the kind that's guaranteed rain or shine.

This is the bottom line, and it's slightly better than a factory assembly line worker.

Fang Ziye stopped speaking.

Guo Zhou continued: "Doctor Fang, you don't know, I ran so many trips to find you. I came sincerely seeking a consultation."

"I heard my leader's recommendation around August and came here to find you!"

"But at that time, the people here said Doctor Fang you were no longer working at the Trauma Center, so I wanted to find you in the department, but I searched many times and was persuaded to leave by your duty doctors each time."

"I didn't come to cause trouble, I came to seek a consultation, it's understandable if it's inconvenient for you, Doctor Fang."

"Just, later when I checked the outpatient clinic, your director also said this surgery of mine, the department can't do it, Zhongnan Hospital can't do it either. And they wouldn't issue me an admission certificate."

"No one dared to issue me an admission certificate."

"But I can't give up, for my child, for that little home I made myself, I have to fight for it! ~"

"Later, I found some connections, finally got an admission certificate, and booked an appointment for next year! ~"

"Looking at the densely packed queue of patients above, I could only keep coming to the Trauma Center to try my luck, luckily I met Doctor Jin!" Guo Zhou recounted his history of seeking treatment.

He spent his own connections just to get an admission certificate.

It shows how unwelcome his current situation is in the hospital, and how unreasonable his demands are.

If it weren't for the situation being too complex, why would he have run to so many hospitals with no one daring to take him on?

There are indeed some Putian Medical Group hospitals willing to take him on, willing to operate, but he doesn't dare go! ~

Even famous hospitals like Xiehe, Jishuitan, and Huaxi don't dare take this case, yet they dare to — one listen and you know something's fishy!

"Doctor Fang, so..." Guo Zhou continued to plead.

After seeing Guo Zhou off, Jin Hongzhou said embarrassedly: "Ziye, sorry, you just rested today, and I had to ask you to come help me fob off a patient."

"I've truly been pestered by him too many times; if he doesn't find you, the real person in charge, he probably won't settle down! ~"

Although Jin Hongzhou calls Fang Ziye 'Ziye', he has in fact already come to regard Fang Ziye as a superior!

In the hospital, ranks are distinct.

In the vast majority of cases, rank and ability are linked, except for a few who rise through crooked ways.

Especially in a teaching hospital, if you rise through side doors and your ability can't conquer your subordinates, you can't possibly lord it over them!

Those who can get by in a teaching hospital mostly have some connections and ability; either they pat their butt and leave, or they directly write whistleblowing letters to the Provincial Party Committee or even higher health departments.

Worst case I just leave, what can you do to me?

Wanting to control all junior doctors in a teaching hospital is basically impossible.

Generally such doctors or colleagues are very polite, directly marginalizing themselves, just eating and waiting to die.

"Zhou Ge, you're being polite saying that."

"If it weren't for truly having no confidence in helping him, I wouldn't have refused so bluntly."

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he asked curiously: "This Guo Zhou said he had a hard time finding me, how should I understand that?"

"Zhou Ge, you make one call and I've never fobbed you off, right?"

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he carefully observed Zhou Ge again.

Jin Hongzhou is much more robust than in Fang Ziye's memory. Maybe he deliberately went to the gym after being made Chief Resident!

Medium-long hair, slicked back, long neck, appearing even more powerfully built.

In Fang Ziye's memory, Jin Hongzhou was still that spirited self discussing 'slender' topics with patients.

Of course, he's more steady than before.

Jin Hongzhou stood up, walked to the door of the Trauma Center clinic, and then shut the door.

And braced his back against the door: "Ziye, you still don't know, do you?"

"Have you noticed, ever since you went to Trauma Surgery, the emergency calls you receive have decreased."

"You must think it's because Lan Tianluo and Wang Yuanqi, those two fellow trainees, are holding things down, right?"

Fang Ziye's brows furrowed into a 'chuan' character.

"Lan Tianluo and Wang Yuanqi holding things down is only part of the reason; the more important reason is, someone doesn't want your elective surgeries in the department to be disturbed."

"So they gave us subordinates a set of overlapping orders."

"We can call Associate Professor Xie, call Yuan Weihong, call Vice Professor Chen Fang and others, but we absolutely cannot casually disturb you!"

"Someone protects your workload this much during your Chief Resident period, comfortable, right?" Jin Hongzhou cracked a joke.

"Who?" Fang Ziye only asked a single character.

Jin Hongzhou said, "Who it is doesn't matter; it might not even be a single person."

"In their view, Trauma Surgery — or Zhongnan Hospital — doesn't lack one Chief Resident, but it sorely lacks a top-tier trauma surgeon like you, Fang Ziye."

"What is mangled extremity limb salvage surgery?"

"Functional reconstruction surgery is what matters most!"

"For people who have reached a certain position, how many have you seen admitted through the Emergency Department?"

"Those admitted through the Emergency Department are all the business of Neurosurgery, Cardiology, or Heart and Great Vessels Surgery next door!" Jin Hongzhou had already spoken very bluntly.

The most dissatisfied people under heaven are all the bottom-rung people.

Even hospitalization is the same.

Generally, those admitted for emergency trauma — you look across all hospitals nationwide — aside from a very few individual cases, most are bottom-rung people admitted because of trauma.

Among them, couriers, takeout deliverymen, and all kinds of drivers are the majority.

Then there are those who, failing to make it in life, jump off buildings, or those unlucky enough to get crushed.

Jin Hongzhou suddenly added, "Ziye, trauma occurs more on the roads, on construction sites, among those who chase a living with physical labor and grinding away time!"

"That is the very essence of why the Emergency Department exists! ~"

Jin Hongzhou's words sounded somewhat like those of the very famous postgraduate exam consulting blogger, Teacher Zhang, on the internet.

——

They wouldn't go recruit at a university like Some University!

Fang Ziye reviewed his own Chief Resident career and felt it was indeed so.

Except for the period from March to June when it was a bit harder, rotating through emergency, elective surgery, day after day.

Starting from July, after Fang Ziye returned to Trauma Surgery, the emergency surgeries he took over became relatively fewer.

But there still were some; those were all mangled extremities that Lan Tianluo and Yuan Weihong couldn't handle, which would put Fang Ziye on stage.

At that time, Nie Mingxian was still there; Nie Mingxian was the first person to take Fang Ziye's place!

"Zhou Ge, I didn't know any of this!"

"Thank you." Fang Ziye naturally didn't know; he was in a protected state, a relative beneficiary!

Emergency consultations — the Trauma Center screened them for Fang Ziye.

Routine consultations — before there was Luo Tingzhu, later there were Li Yuanpei, Yan Zhiming, and other Doctors helping run them; only when they really couldn't tell would they have Fang Ziye take another look.

Fang Ziye could directly do remote diagnosis after receiving their compiled physical examination reports.

Medical record review — someone helped with that!

Aside from teaching undergraduates, Fang Ziye just occasionally gave classes to his fellow trainees; the rest was functional reconstruction surgery in the department.

Fang Ziye did it quite happily; after all, the knowledge point gains were plentiful!

Jin Hongzhou hurriedly said, "Embarrassed, Ziye, don't misunderstand; I'm not trying to mess with your mindset or bring you negative emotions."

"I just wanted to state the basic situation."

"I know, Zhou Ge; between us two brothers, if we speak too meticulously, the friendship becomes shallow."

"Two years ago, the matter of you teaching me, I've always kept in my heart." Fang Ziye said.

"Enough!" Jin Hongzhou waved his hand.

"We're both still young; why talk about reminiscing?"

"Let's talk about something happy."

"Passport in hand? Visa sorted? Where are you planning to go roam a circle? Or a few circles?" Jin Hongzhou shifted the topic to a more relaxed aspect.

After long periods of work, rest and vacation are the true life of a worker.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Not going abroad; Tingzhu and I decided, we haven't even had time to see the country's magnificent rivers and mountains, why go abroad?"

"She and I plan to go upstream along the Yangtze all the way, see how far we can get by boat, make a trip back to my hometown, a trip to her hometown."

"Half a month's vacation budget gone; the remaining half month, we'll go to the grasslands, then go up to the northernmost Mobei to take a look, then come back to work!"

Mobei is said to get cold earlier than here; if you want to see snow scenery, November is suitable, December is too cold.

"Also pretty good, sailing upstream the Yangtze, tsk tsk tsk ah!"

"If I were Li Taibai, I'd probably want to hit you!"

"In adversity he drifted downstream thousands of li; in prosperity you go upstream, straight for Yucheng..." Jin Hongzhou said enviously.

"Hehe! ~"

"The era is different; however you look at it it's just looking, no need to mind so many details."

"Zhou Ge, if there's nothing else, I'll head out first." Fang Ziye said.

Jin Hongzhou opened the door, said softly: "Ziye, that Guo Zhou who just left is my relative."

Jin Hongzhou said this while Fang Ziye was putting on his white coat.

Fang Ziye froze at the words, then quickly blinked.

Pretending not to have understood: "Zhou Ge, in a few days I'll mail you local specialties! ~"

Fang Ziye understood in his heart.

Guo Zhou is my relative; he can't even see you, Fang Ziye; ordinary patients even more so.

Ziye, you've already been 'enshrined'; you need to pay attention!

Fang Ziye truly had no better solution.

Still that sentence: when there's temporarily no better solution, just drift with the tide, muddle through.

Wait until a solution is found, then think about how to respond.

After going out, Fang Ziye messaged Luo Tingzhu: "Ready? Tingzhu, when do we depart?"

"Ready, my teacher approved my vacation too! ~"

"But as a requirement, I must finish my doctoral dissertation, hahaha~" Luo Tingzhu sent a laughing emoji.

Who could understand that in the final year of the Eight-Year Program, during the doctoral graduation stage, one could still have a vacation as long as one month?

And it was even approved by the boss.

Luo Tingzhu was obviously happy; at her current stage, she was at most a doctoral intern, a certified intern, not a Resident Physician under standardized training, nor a staff member of this hospital.

Wanting to take a leave of absence was very easy; just go directly to the Academic Affairs Office of the Second Clinical College to get it approved.

Student leave and staff leave were completely different concepts!

"Thank you, Senior Brother, I also owe this to you," Luo Tingzhu added later.

Fang Ziye said, "Why are we two being so polite?"

"I still feel that meeting you is my good fortune! ~" The two's chat gradually became cloying...

From Han City to Yucheng, there were direct cruise ships!

However, Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu did not plan to take these two; the two were originally drifting along, going wherever they went to travel.

If the starting point and endpoint were fixed from the beginning, it would be too meaningless!

The place where Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu met was in the house Luo Tingzhu rented; Luo Tingzhu had already packed both their luggage, only needing to put both their computers into Luo Tingzhu's newly bought computer bag.

On the way to take a taxi to the wharf, Fang Ziye sent a message to Liu Huanglong: "Thank you, Teacher Liu, for the reminder and guidance!"

At this moment, Fang Ziye finally understood what Liu Huanglong had said before!

Some things, his own teacher Deng Yong, might not be able to cover for him.

This included but was not limited to this time!

Fang Ziye felt that Deng Yong could not possibly not know about this matter, but he had expressed no attitude, nor even told Fang Ziye about this matter.

Fang Ziye could analyze that this was Deng Yong protecting himself, not letting him worry, not giving up on this matter.

However, actually, Fang Ziye's heart now felt somewhat mixed!

People always have to grow up; you will slowly realize that your parents and your teachers are just ordinary people.

If you want to grow up, you might need to walk over them.

Is Deng Yong awesome?

Of course he is awesome!

A professor at Han City University, Director of Zhongnan Hospital, Vice Chairman of the Trauma Surgery Branch of the Hubei Medical Association; in a province's specialty, he had almost reached the summit position.

Under Deng Yong's protection, Fang Ziye could almost walk freely in this province's specialty!

Who dares to casually provoke and target Fang Ziye without cause?

Duan Hong couldn't either!

However, was Deng Yong completely invincible?

Of course not!

Deng Yong had long said that to take the academic route, without becoming an Academician it was still uncertain; your so-called freedom was nothing more than relative freedom.

Most things most people want to do, things they are doing, might not be what he wants to do; what to do, do it according to your own heart.

If it really is like this, generally it is either your capability is relatively limited, or your status is extremely transcendent!

A doctor in a county hospital, you are free.

You can do whatever you want; you can even say your capability is poor, that you can't even do fracture surgery!

Does anyone hit you? Does anyone force you?

No.

Fang Ziye had not encountered being hit, and no one forced him to do anything!

Forcing people to do things, what a direct and brainless method!

Who among smart people would have physical conflict with someone from Trauma Surgery who plays with knives to a supernatural degree? Others don't conflict with you in other aspects; they just directly arrange everything clearly for you.

You don't even realize it!

If it weren't for someone taking the lead to break this trap, Fang Ziye might have delayed several years before realizing this point!

"Senior Brother, what are you thinking?" Sitting in the car, Luo Tingzhu found Fang Ziye silent, lost in thought, and smiling, she asked one more question.

"I'm thinking about what to eat tomorrow; tomorrow we'll go to Yue City in Hunan Province; Yueyang Tower must be visited, and stone pot fish by the lake must still be eaten."

"I don't know if there are other specialties!" Fang Ziye did not pour out his troubles to Luo Tingzhu!

Seeing her so happy, Fang Ziye naturally couldn't spoil the mood!

Fang Ziye had once thought about a question!

A sentence very popular on the internet.

Saying someone someone someone hasn't suffered society's beatings or such, who has suffered society's beatings or such!!

Actually.

Most people don't even have the chance to suffer society's beatings; what they suffer is life's beatings.

Wanting to be beaten by society still requires an entry qualification!

Being absolutely superior to others yet not admitted is one of society's beatings.

Being relatively superior to others yet not admitted, how do you know you must be better than others? Why should they admit you?

Society is a comprehensive state...

Master.

Master, he had not remained silent, and had hinted before, but was powerless.

"That kind of vision is too high; Master can no longer help you, but perhaps, one day, you will face a choice."

"Whether to be an Academician Doctor or a doctor of the people."

"The above are all my guesses."

These were Deng Yong's original words spoken before Fang Ziye; at that moment, Fang Ziye did not understand his meaning.

But now, Fang Ziye finally understood Deng Yong's meaning — one day, Fang Ziye would have to make a choice!

……

November 2nd.

Friday.

Hunan Province, Yue City! ~

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu waited with great anticipation beside Dongting Lake for the stone pot fish at the highest-rated shop recommended by an acquaintance to be served.

Looking at the milky-white broth on the neighboring table and catching the faint fish fragrance, Luo Tingzhu couldn't help swallowing several mouthfuls of saliva.

While slowly taking off her scarf, she said, "Senior Brother, just look at the number of people here and you know this stone pot fish is very authentic."

"Who did you ask to find this place?"

This shop wasn't directly opposite the tourist area, but tucked away in a very quiet courtyard.

Those who can find this place are all local gourmets.

"I had someone look for it — didn't you see? There are lots of contacts in my phone." Fang Ziye smiled.

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, he unintentionally glanced toward the doorway and his expression changed slightly.

He blurted out, "Holy crap, how did he end up here?"

"Who?" Hearing this, Luo Tingzhu turned her neck around.

When Fang Ziye spotted the other party, Professor Zhou Yan was just being ushered into the courtyard by a group of people, and a middle-aged man in his forties among them said politely,

"Professor Zhou, you've really gone to trouble today; if you hadn't come, I truly wouldn't know what to do about today's patient."

"Tomorrow's surgery will also need Professor Zhou to give it your attention."

"This is an old establishment, Professor Zhou! ~"

Professor Zhou Yan extended his slender fingers; his tightly furrowed brows relaxed into a smile as he said, "Director Huang, your luck is really good — perhaps tomorrow that patient's surgery will have a solution! ~"

"I ran into an acquaintance; going over to say hello."

After Professor Zhou Yan finished speaking, he walked toward Fang Ziye's direction with a beaming smile: "Professor Fang, didn't expect to run into you here!"

"This is... Professor Fang's wife?"

Fang Ziye stood up with Luo Tingzhu: "Professor Zhou, hello. Luo Tingzhu, my girlfriend; we're not married yet."

"Professor Zhou Yan of Xiangya Hospital Hand Surgery Branch!" Fang Ziye introduced to Luo Tingzhu.

The reason Fang Ziye's impression of him was comparatively deep was first because of the emphasis by Professor Teng Qinghe, Director Committee Member of the Chinese Hand Surgery Branch, and second because the other party's age was likewise very young.

"Professor Zhou, hello! ~" Luo Tingzhu's bearing was extremely poised, as if she were seeing her own teacher.

"Sit, sit, sit — no need to be so formal."

"Professor Fang, I saw your message yesterday and thought you were just asking casually; didn't expect you actually came."

"It just so happens I received a remote surgery consultation today, so we ran into each other by such fate." Professor Zhou Yan explained roughly, lest Fang Ziye misunderstand that he had specially come chasing after him.

"Professor Zhou, that really is quite a fate." Fang Ziye hurriedly said.

"Professor Fang, you eat first; I still have a bit of business on my end. If Professor Fang isn't busy, would it be convenient to go have a cup of coffee after the meal?"

"I'd like to take the opportunity to consult Doctor Fang on a few things, chat face to face!"

"If Professor Fang finds it inconvenient, I'll just consult online!" Professor Zhou Yan also said it very generously.

Fang Ziye glanced at Luo Tingzhu; Luo Tingzhu hurriedly said, "Professor Zhou, we're just touring — leaving tomorrow or the day after doesn't matter."

Tourism aims for freedom and relaxation; if the schedule is arranged like special forces style tourism, the fun of traveling is lost.

"Professor Zhou, very willing to consult you." Fang Ziye said.

"Then see you in a bit! ~ Must chat again, I really do want to consult." Professor Zhou Yan said while turning back, emphasizing it.
