Chapter 611

The next day, at 9:27 AM!

After Fang Ziye finished leading the team on rounds, he planned to lead the Trauma Surgery group straight to the operating room.

Professor Lin Qiaoshan jogged over: "Professor Fang, wait a moment, Dean Chen Song and Director Song from Logistics asked us to come over."

"Can you let go on your end?"

Lin Qiaoshan was asking whether the surgery Fang Ziye was going to perform was difficult or not.

"Professor Lin, is the talk more important? Although this surgery's difficulty isn't high, I haven't done surgery for several days, I want to do one!" Fang Ziye laughed sincerely.

Total femoral bone defect reconstruction — Professor Fang Zhikuan and Nie Mingxian together could handle it, but surgeons, especially senior surgeons, all have an itchy-hand habit.

Like a cat's claws, if not used for a long time, the whole body feels uncomfortable.

Although Fang Ziye had been tortured to the brink of ecstasy by academic reports and a series of events over the past few days, in essence he was still a senior surgeon, and to date had performed hundreds of surgeries.

"If the surgery isn't difficult, then trouble Professor Fang to lead the team. Today Dean Chen wants to talk to us about something very important!" Lin Qiaoshan stepped forward two steps.

"I'll hand over the surgery too."

"Alright..." Fang Ziye walked back a few steps and whispered a few words with Wu Xuanqi and Professor Fang Zhikuan.

Wu Xuanqi immediately expressed his stance: "Group Leader Fang, no problem, you're the group leader, go handle your business, the surgery shouldn't have any issues."

The person leading the group must be responsible for things others can't be responsible for, responsible for "allowing bottom" — as long as you can hold that bottom and make others feel reliable and at ease, some "routine" surgeries you let go and slack off on, others won't think you're putting on airs.

If you can't even hold the bottom, no matter how diligent you are, others will only scold your mother!

Medicine isn't like other industries where a superior's position can be muddled through.

Only then did Fang Ziye walk side by side with Professor Lin Qiaoshan; passing through the corridor, the new rain had just stopped, warm sunlight penetrated the gaps in the grape trellis, scattering in dappled spots.

"Professor Lin, did Dean Chen and Director Song say what it's about? Actually making us put even surgery on hold?" Fang Ziye had been here this long, and this was still the first time Dean Chen Song made such a choice.

"Dean Chen communicated in advance with the other professors from both our groups, knowing the surgeries we scheduled today aren't difficult, that's why he had us come to the meeting!"

"It's related to our Surgical Group wanting to establish a new Clinical Group."

"As for specifics, we'll only know when we get there." Lin Qiaoshan truthfully told what he knew, but didn't know the details.

Fortunately, Fang Ziye happened to run into Nie Mingxian's teacher Professor Li Yongjun yesterday, so he could guess a thing or two.

Dean Chen Song truly values Professor Li Yongjun immensely — because of this one person, he's directly establishing a new group!

And even finding a professor to pair with Professor Li Yongjun, finding him subordinates...

Even more lavish than the "allocation" Fang Ziye got when he first came to the sanatorium.

"Oh! ~" Fang Ziye pretended to know nothing.

The two walked side by side to an office in the administrative area, then sat separately.

Quite a few people gathered this time: Dean Chen Song, Director Song Libo from Logistics Support, Director Wang Bin from the Office and Deputy Director Chen Xianglong, Director Lan Juan and Deputy Director Peng Xuelin from Medical Affairs, Lin Qiaoshan and Fang Ziye from Surgery, Professor Yang Fenggen from Internal Medicine.

All the sanatorium's leaders related to administration had arrived.

The one responsible for the briefing was Director Song Libo from Logistics Support; he stood on the other side of the oval table, turned on the projector, the title page being Professor Li Yongjun's image and appointment details.

After Dean Chen Song saw Lin Qiaoshan and Fang Ziye arrive, he then spoke: "Professor Fang, this is your first time attending this kind of meeting, so I'll briefly explain our sanatorium's rules for establishing new groups."

"The sanatorium currently has four major departments: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Rehabilitation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine — four major groups."

"Each department has different subgroups; if any department wants to establish a new group, it must satisfy several conditions!"

"First, there must be a very reliable professor, at least a Provincial Professional Leader, to hold the fort!"

"Second, it must be a mature specialty or subspecialty..."

"Third, there must be critical patients."

"Among them, Gynecology and Obstetrics and Pediatrics are temporarily not within the scope of new specialty group establishment."

"The meeting today is because we happen to have an opportunity to recruit such a very well-known Vascular Surgery expert."

"Director Song Libo, you introduce Professor Li Yongjun." Chen Song raised his hand in invitation.

Upon hearing this, Song Libo immediately bowed slightly: "Many people may not recognize Professor Li Yongjun, but this Professor Li is the Chief Director of Vascular Surgery at Capital Hospital."

"Everyone is very clear on what nature Capital Hospital is, right?"

"Professor Li Yongjun's professional strength and research ability are beyond doubt."

"During our previous contact with him, we discovered Professor Li Yongjun isn't very satisfied with his current position; coincidentally our sanatorium can provide him a good platform."

"Thus, this small meeting today — let's discuss this Professor Li together."

"Some basic content we'll just play through; more importantly, what we can rely on to recruit this Professor Li to our sanatorium is the focus of our discussion."

"Professor Li Yongjun, former Chief Physician of Vascular Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, current Administrative Chief Director of Vascular Surgery at Capital Hospital..."

Director Song Libo repeated some content Fang Ziye had looked up before, but after nearly ten minutes, Song Libo suddenly said: "This Professor Li Yongjun is actually the contact person for docking and exchange with our sanatorium, recommended by Professor Deng Yong; he also gave us another portion of information, I'll list it as follows..."

Fang Ziye had originally been sitting below very relaxed, listening like gossip, but hearing Song Libo's words, his scalp directly exploded.

After this long, Fang Ziye had nearly forgotten his own teacher's this "appointment."

What appointment? It's the appointment as the docking liaison between Zhongnan Hospital and the sanatorium; back then, because several vice presidents in the hospital wanted to seize Deng Yong's position, they impeached two or was it three vice presidents...

So actually, openly and secretly, his own teacher has always had contact with the sanatorium; so long ago, his teacher suggesting he come to the sanatorium was because he knew more things.

So Deng Yong must have had his eye on Nie Mingxian's teacher Professor Li Yongjun very early on...

This once again made Fang Ziye realize his own teacher — just how powerful his psychological quality and wrist are.

Not a single step of operation was wasted!

Song Libo said: "Professor Li Yongjun's professional strength and research ability are both impeccable top professors; whether academic appointments within the specialty or professional reputation, both are top-tier."

"So, next we'll discuss from these several dimensions the sanatorium's attractiveness to Professor Li Yongjun."

"Funding support, development prospects, salary compensation, platform level, personal pursuit."

Song Libo continued: "Director Wang, you've had the most contact with Professor Li, you speak first."

Wang Bin from the Office is the one responsible for poaching people, doing related work.

"Director Song, regarding Professor Li Yongjun's resume, I want to add one more thing — he previously won the Jingdu Science and Technology First Prize three times, and the National Science and Technology Progress Second Prize twice."

"Professor Li Yongjun isn't that old!"

"So, if we can recruit a talent like him to our sanatorium, the benefit to our sanatorium would be tremendous."

"Funding support, development prospects, salary compensation, platform level — our sanatorium holds no advantage compared to Capital Hospital in any of these."

"Professor Li Yongjun is a northerner, not one of us southerners, and geographically we hold no advantage either."

"The only point we can break through is Professor Li Yongjun's personal pursuit."

"Of course, there's also a comparative factor here — currently, Professor Li Yongjun's student, Professor Nie Mingxian, is carrying out work in our sanatorium's research area."

"This is also a usable factor..." After Wang Bin finished his summary analysis, he added:

"The research topics Professor Li Yongjun is relatively interested in can be summarized as follows: the first, which can also be called the only one, is the treatment of ALS."

"The specific reasons we haven't yet gotten in touch to understand, but based on our current investigation, Professor Li Yongjun has mentioned this keyword multiple times."

"Next, let's discuss in detail this interest point of Professor Li Yongjun — this should be our key to breaking the deadlock..."

Fang Ziye was in the midst of it, so he very directly witnessed the scene of himself being analyzed by these people back then.

Probably, at that time, his Senior Brother Gu Yi was also sitting in this position, participating in such a meeting, and then contacting and communicating with him in a very simple way, which led to his trip to the sanatorium.

Everyone's perspective is limited.

After Director Wang Bin finished speaking, Professor Lin Qiaoshan from Surgery said: "Dean Chen, Director Wang, ALS is not a big data disease type; patients suffering from this disease are extremely few."

"So the state's investment in this area isn't large either, and the input-output ratio is extremely low; it's mostly just some interested practitioners."

"The current depth of research on it is also extremely limited."

"So if we want to develop and advance in this direction, it would be very unprofitable."

Each sub-group's Group Leader has probably been individually approached by the sanatorium for talks, knowing the sanatorium's main intentions for research development and clinical development.

Undertaking medical diagnosis and treatment tasks is one part, making money is one part, producing breakthroughs is another part.

Input-output ratio is, of course, also a factor to consider.

Invest a hundred billion, and in the end only benefit a dozen or so people — the significance isn't that great.

Professor Yang Fenggen from Internal Medicine said: "The etiology of ALS still hasn't been thoroughly figured out; regarding this disease type, many directions currently belong to unknown territory — it's truly vague and intangible."

"If Professor Li is only willing to come to our sanatorium if he can do this topic, my suggestion is to give no suggestion at all." Yang Fenggen was quite straightforward, merely expressing his attitude.

The Medical Affairs Department people have relatively specialized responsibilities and don't have much contact with this aspect.

It was Director Song Libo who offered another opinion: "If we increase contact with Professor Nie Mingxian, do you think there's a chance to get Li Yongjun to come work at our sanatorium?"

Chen Song shook his head: "If reversed — if Professor Li Yongjun works at our sanatorium first, then the chance of Nie Mingxian coming here to work would be greater."

"Reversed, it doesn't hold."

"The two people's social positions aren't the same; what we should worry about more is Nie Mingxian being poached by Li Yongjun!"

"This suggestion isn't a good suggestion." Chen Song directly rejected it.

Usually it's students following teachers around; teachers following students around is rare.

After Chen Song spoke, everyone fell silent.

Chen Song said: "We're just simply chatting about this content; after you go back, you can brainstorm and relay this matter to the people in each specialty."

"If we can poach Professor Li, it's a solid meritorious deed; we can calculate workload for it."

"Directly adding thirty workload units or even more is negotiable." Chen Song said.

Lin Qiaoshan said in a low voice to Fang Ziye: "Thirty workload units is equivalent to forty-five surgeries for our Surgery Department — the gold content is still very, very high."

A group averages only six to seven surgeries a month!

Forty-plus surgeries is half a year's workload.

Fang Ziye felt slightly more confident inside, but didn't speak up to communicate.

It was Director Song Libo and Deputy Director Chen Xianglong from the Office who proposed a few more plans, but all were rejected one by one by Dean Chen Song.

With this back and forth, nearly an hour had passed.

Chen Song then said: "Group Leader Fang, do you have any thoughts?"

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Dean Chen, I'm not familiar with Professor Li, and I currently have other tasks to be busy with, so I may not be able to spare that much energy."

"Truly sorry, Dean Chen."

Fang Ziye knew Chen Song was just asking casually, letting Fang Ziye express a stance, and also letting others not have opinions about Fang Ziye not saying a word.

The small meeting came to a conclusion here.

"Group Leader Fang stay behind; everyone else go busy with your own matters." After the small meeting dispersed, Chen Song called on Fang Ziye by name.

Fang Ziye had already lifted his buttocks, then sat back down.

After this, two assistants came in from outside carrying two pots of tea, while the others packed up their files and notebooks and left.

The huge conference room instantly only had Fang Ziye and Dean Chen Song remaining.

After the two assistants went out the door, Fang Ziye leaned a little toward Chen Song: "Dean Chen, thank you and the sanatorium for what you've done for me."

Idiots give favors by directly giving money, cigarettes, alcohol; smart people give favors by directly delivering the favor into your arms.

When you want to eat, there just happens to be a free restaurant; when you want to get intimate, there just happen to be a few condoms in your room...

Chen Song never told Fang Ziye he wanted to help, but right after Fang Ziye's first academic report ended, two Academicians close to Fang Ziye from Han City University and Orthopedics, plus the National Health Commission, all stepped forward.

Is this really just people who listened to the academic report calling them in?

no!

"Ziye, isn't this just you being polite?"

"Originally your academic achievements were shocking enough; we merely pushed the boat along the current."

"Furthermore, aren't you wanting to climb up? This position of mine is still waiting for you; if the sanatorium doesn't cultivate you and just watches you fight single-handedly, wouldn't that be one face on the surface and another behind the scenes?" Chen Song spoke very candidly.

I say I value you, then let you drift like a wild/unofficial student — isn't that me slapping my own face?

"No matter what, I still have to thank Dean Chen for his care and protection." Fang Ziye said.

Chen Song said, "Let's change the topic. Do you really want to clash head-on with that person?"

"Our sanatorium has already received many calls, all wanting us to step in and mediate!"

Fang Ziye's matter of directly clashing with Xie Shulan, Xie Wucai's granddaughter, was no longer a secret at the sanatorium's administrative level.

In Chen Song's view, Fang Ziye had already affected the two papers that established the other party's standing, so he should know when to stop.

Fang Ziye smiled and said, "Dean Chen, did you keep me behind specifically to plead on my behalf?"

Fang Ziye asked.

Fang Ziye felt that the reason Old Dean Chen Song invited people from the National Health Commission to that hearing was a backup move against Xie Wucai.

You Xie Wucai think you're something, right? Then go act tough in front of people from your own unit, let them see exactly how you bully a junior.

Against a top-tier researcher like this, what means would you even use to bully him?

Of course it's not just the National Health Commission, there are other units too. You try messing with one, see if you can shut all these people's mouths.

"Of course not. I just feel I can't quite understand your behavior anymore!"

"Ziye, you should be clear. Given the current situation, if you came to the sanatorium and found me or Professor Song Libo once, the previous incident might not have happened."

"But you didn't make that choice!"

"Persuading Doctor Tian Songlin from Xiangya Second Hospital is a very simple matter for us." Chen Song said.

Chen Song also looked at Fang Ziye with newfound respect. After all, Fang Ziye's research thinking was extremely meticulous, he was clever in dealing with people, and understood human relations.

Upon hearing this, Fang Ziye first pursed his lips, then slowly took a sip of tea, and said, "Dean Chen, although I'm already an Associate Professor, in reality I'm still a person of low status and little influence."

"In Eastern Han, in the top-tier circles, professors and chief physicians don't count for much."

"So, I actually don't have much social status. If I need someone's help now, I can only do targeted strikes." Fang Ziye stopped cautiously here.

"What's a targeted strike?" Chen Song asked.

Fang Ziye's eyeballs turned slightly: "It means, one-on-one, slowly, persuading some people to help and support me."

"To put it even more simply, it's proactive academic sparring of a harassing nature — the kind that hurts the skin but doesn't sever the tendons."

Chen Song nodded upon hearing this.

Fang Ziye affected Xie Shulan's teacher, the newly minted Academician Professor Zhang Limin.

This also has a certain impact on Professor Zhang Limin. If handled badly, even if he got an Academician Nomination, it could be revoked!

But it can also be managed. After all, it's only formed a mention on the journal paper website so far; the papers haven't been retracted yet!

But Xie Shulan is different. Her accumulation and foundation are still thin. If these academic achievements are revoked, she'll likely find every step difficult in her current unit.

"You need Academician Zhang Limin to help you? It has to be an Academician?" Chen Song frowned tightly.

Fang Ziye's appetite is a bit big. If Fang Ziye just named some well-known experts and professors, he could still help by actively getting a list.

But if it's at the Academician level, it really is quite troublesome and thorny.

Even more thorny than pulling Professor Li Yongjun into the sanatorium.

Fang Ziye nodded and said, "Yes, Dean Chen. For the follow-up stuff, if there's no Academician-level teacher following up, I feel I can't hold it down."

"Also related to basic research?" Chen Song roughly knew some, but he wasn't a worm in Fang Ziye's belly!

"Yes, but not entirely."

Fang Ziye said, "Our Orthopedics Department's specialization depth in the basic research field is still relatively weak. So even if I ask Old Professor Gu Yuandong and Old Professor Qiu Zhenghua to step forward, it might still be questioned."

"But if teachers from different fields all participate together, such subtle questioning voices will become fewer and fewer."

"I personally feel that if at least four to five Academician teachers from different industries step forward, it might make their refinement even more silky smooth."

"And not produce too much questioning and fluctuation, at least not internally."

As the saying goes, words and deeds.

What Liu Huanglong taught Fang Ziye wasn't just that he had an Academician father-in-law. Liu Huanglong's reliance on his father-in-law's series of moves was leveraging momentum.

Fang Ziye's father-in-law isn't an Academician, just a professor.

Without this move, Fang Ziye could of course cite indirectly and adapt slightly.

Professor Zhang Limin is the first trigger point Fang Ziye targeted.

It was also Xie Wucai that old man brought on himself!

Chen Song continued, "So you still want to keep going after that little girl? Haven't you thought, what if she can't pull through?"

Fang Ziye sighed upon hearing this: "Dean Chen, speaking of it, you might think I'm too arrogant."

"My counterattack method is a double-edged sword, unlike that person's method, which is just direct crushing harm — all harm, no benefit."

"Or rather, he didn't achieve benefit that was friendly to him."

"Writing a mention on a paper looks like targeting, but is actually a kind of optimization. If Professor Xie can truly learn or comprehend something from it, her academic level will rise by at least one grade!"

"Her future will be longer, wider, broader."

"She's also still young, she has this time and opportunity."

"This is academic exchange and communication. No choice. I actually don't want to do this. I even don't want to point out her errors, giving her a chance for rebirth through fire."

"Success brings attainment, failure brings sinking."

"This is opportunity and challenge coexisting, though the risk is very high."

"I sometimes even feel I'm repaying enmity with virtue! ~" Fang Ziye said.

What Fang Ziye did, the first cut was aimed at himself. His own team's papers, he had the kung fu and energy to optimize and repair.

Wu Xuanqi's team, because they participated in Fang Ziye's 'bad thing', Fang Ziye also helped repair together.

The difference is, for his own team's and Wu Xuanqi's team's papers, Fang Ziye both questioned and repaired. For Xie Shulan and Professor Zhang Limin, he only questioned, didn't repair, didn't give solutions.

Don't ask. Ask and the answer is there is no answer.

Don't persuade either. Persuade and it means there's a problem. I can't see it, but someone always can!

Chen Song's eyebrow shot up in anger: "To be able to describe academic bullying so righteously, I really have to look at you with new eyes."

A ruthless hero cares nothing for means, only results.

Fang Ziye could not refute the term "academic bullying"; fundamentally speaking, that is exactly what it is.

Fang Ziye then said: "Dean Chen, this is also because I have no other resources to mobilize."

"Furthermore, even if they change careers, even if they are dismissed, they still have food and clothing without worry for a lifetime."

"But me, and my teacher — if we are dismissed or squeezed out, we really will return to poverty."

"Her sunk cost is really very low, her error tolerance very high."

"Actually it's just an incidental thing — I want to have an in-depth exchange with Professor Zhang Limin!"

Chen Song replied: "Your way of self-recommending is really a bit special — first beat the other into submission, then get on good terms with them, right?"

Chen Song saw through Fang Ziye's intent at a glance.

It is simply violent crushing.

Fang Ziye fell silent, no reply.

Chen Song continued: "So you will still make a move?"

"You say it directly, so we can also have a preparation, lest the other side takes the sword walking slant and we have no contingency!"

"Of course!" Fang Ziye nodded frankly.

Fang Ziye is not surface one way, behind the scenes another; seeing an error he points it out — still that same sentence.

If she can break through, it is still the soaring opportunity Fang Ziye gave her; if she cannot break through, cannot figure it out, then just hastily change careers, don't do this specialty anymore.

Chen Song continued: "Then if Old Master Xie is willing to come apologize again, and brings some surrender with him?"

"Would you be willing to stop targeting Professor Xie Shulan? Change to another person?" Chen Song's words pointed somewhere.

Fang Ziye hearing this, brow furrowed, asked: "Dean Chen, this matter really has a thousand threads and ten thousand strands of connection with the Jingdu Yangyuan?"

Fang Ziye still remembers, at the start, the Jingdu Yangyuan people called him at the first time, guaranteeing this matter had not a penny to do with them.

"The connection is just a thousand threads and ten thousand strands; the choice was Xie Wucai's own."

"The knife was held by Xie Wucai himself, but the direction and point of the stab were provided by others."

"A single Fang Ziye — who would pay this much attention to you? Besides those who prepared early, who would inexplicably find those inexplicable 'scar points' of yours?" Chen Song also replied frankly.

Fang Ziye nodded.

Those scar points of his, to speak of them they are really nothing — just the matter of graduating one year early.

Fang Ziye's final handling result was also neither painful nor itchy!

More it was Deng Yong himself who received a relatively heavy punishment.

Who would target Fang Ziye like this?

Estimated to be some people with ulterior motives.

Fang Ziye took this opportunity to ask the key: "Dean Chen, that sanatorium and our Enshi Yangyuan are so at odds — in the end why?"

Chen Song hearing this, first sharply turned head, looked at Fang Ziye.

Seeing Fang Ziye's gaze pure, expression calm, not sarcastic, mouth pursed.

Then touched chin: "To speak of it, it was me young and vigorous."

"To truly reckon, it was also they themselves who sought it."

"That young person of the Jingdu Yangyuan, his grandpa folded in his own hands."

"I could save him, but he locked me up."

"My demand at the time was: if you don't return me an innocence, I won't come out."

"Result was just like this." Chen Song spoke exceptionally subtle, hidden points many.

But to summarize, estimated to be just such an old routine.

Chen Song was 'handled' or bullied by that person now at the Jingdu Yangyuan, locked Chen Song up.

Coincidentally, his own family elder was seriously ill in bed, result still needed Chen Song to go save people!

Chen Song unwilling, I was arrested for no reason, you still want me to go save people? I won't go, I'll stay here, make things clear then talk.

By the time things clear, the corpse estimated already cold a while...

Proverb says, home has an elder, like having a treasure; in this place Jingdu, the four words 'people leave tea cools' are enacted to the fullest.

If the younger generation is inadequate, a single setback and never recover is no joke.

"So now he targets me everywhere." Chen Song said.

Fang Ziye blinked eyelids!

Standing from Chen Song's perspective, Fang Ziye can understand Chen Song; but standing from his own perspective, Fang Ziye feels he and his teacher both suffered an innocent disaster.

But life is like this, you enjoy which kind of convenience, you must accept the negative effects that convenience brings.

Double-edged sword of pros and cons!

"Hate not to directly tear down Enshi Yangyuan, he doesn't even go to a place of real power, just drills into the sanatorium." Chen Song shook head.

Fang Ziye no longer struggled on this topic: "Dean Chen, time not early, I'll go to the operating room to see."

Chen Song then said: "Ziye, this morning Chen Guangbai called me, he said, currently with his some companies, foundation still too shallow."

"If truly to support your research planning and ideology, he still needs to find a domestic company more skilled at instrument improvement, possessing very excellent instrument manufacturing craft."

"Currently searching, so you also need not be anxious, take it slow, we have plenty of time."

Fang Ziye thought a bit, nodded: "Thank you Dean Chen, trouble you to thank Boss Chen for me."

"Wait a bit more! I still have a private matter to find you." Chen Song reached out again.

"Ah?" Fang Ziye turned head.

"Ziye, do you have any relatively excellent young men around you? Xi Xian is also not small in age, should start a family."

"Actually Xi Xian not only studies finance, has always followed me learning traditional Chinese medicine, counts as half a practitioner, but I hope more, before I enter the earth..." Chen Song said.

Fang Ziye hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dean Chen, you really overestimate me."

"I don't have any friends or colleagues around me who are worthy of the Young Lady; none of them are worthy! ~"

This is Chen Song's family matter; Fang Ziye dares not meddle in the slightest.

What a joke — what is my identity, that I could find a grandson-in-law for Chen Song?

Just his granddaughter — the interest on her pocket money alone isn't something the likes of us can compare to.

Those who could match her are either super rich young masters, or second-generation heirs.

"Dean Chen, I'm off to the operating room." Fang Ziye doesn't discuss family matters; he slips away directly.

"Then you go ahead." Chen Song laughed, only feeling regret!

But it was merely regret; he didn't think further on it.

All karmic encounters and chances have their destiny.
