Chapter 666: Tiger Cub Still Mountain King (Seeking Subscription)

Fang Ziye was still the same Fang Ziye, never changed.

Humble and respectful was his usual attitude toward life; firm and unyielding was his attitude toward work.

Once he set his mind on something, he would do it even against all odds; nine oxen couldn't drag him back.

Du Xinzhan couldn't drag him back, and neither could Fang Ziye's teacher Deng Yong...

A year ago, when Fang Ziye wanted to leave Zhongnan Hospital for the sanatorium, this kind of thing happened once; a bit more than a year ago, Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics Department wanted to bring in another Chief Physician professor, and a similar thing happened again.

After Ceng Duoqin's face went through a spell of unpredictable expression, he still said coldly: "Fang Ziye, don't think just because you're somebody now you can meddle in Orthopedics' internal affairs."

"Our Zhongnan Hospital's hospital system is the Professor Responsibility System, Chief Physician leads groups. And they're specialized Chief Physicians."

"Ceng Duoqin." Du Xinzhan and Bone Disease Department's Du Yingshan both called out.

These words were a bit heart-piercing, and might provoke Fang Ziye into a desperate counterattack.

If Fang Ziye really left in a huff and no one could stop him, all these people would end up miserable.

That group of old professors would absolutely blow their tops, and no one would have good days.

This is a great opportunity; Ceng Duoqin's proposal is perfectly justified, and even Du Xinzhan and Du Yingshan couldn't dissuade him: "Directors Du, Zhongnan Hospital is a comprehensive hospital, not someone's private garden; no one can have the final say alone."

"Rules are rules, laid out there, an established fact."

"Fang Ziye is very excellent, promoted exceptionally, but he's only a Deputy Chief Physician, a Deputy Director; he can't fulfill the Chief Physician Responsibility System."

"He..."

Ceng Duoqin had already drawn his sword; Fang Ziye interrupted in a level voice: "Professor Ceng, this shows you have absolute confidence in yourself, that you can guarantee you'll always be a Chief Physician?!"

Finished speaking, Fang Ziye lowered his eyelids: "I can even revise my own teacher's papers; I look forward to sparring and exchanging pointers with Professor Ceng."

"You..." Ceng Duoqin, eyes bulging round, gaze like thorns, stabbing at Fang Ziye.

Eyes fearful, expression panicked, face showing terror.

The others' faces also changed drastically.

What kind of person is Fang Ziye? A young man who looks very ordinary.

But what he's done, as Bone Tumor Specialty professors, they understand most deeply.

Recently, because of Tongji Hospital Wu Xuanqi's matter, he directly changed the underlying logic of bone tumor experiments, causing corresponding research nationwide and even worldwide to enter a stagnant state.

This is someone who can modify the rules.

If Fang Ziye really wants to target Ceng Duoqin, how many of Ceng Duoqin's published papers would remain?

If all were retracted, would the other people in Trauma Surgery sit by and watch him sit securely in the professor position?

"Fang Ziye, are you threatening me?" Ceng Duoqin's voice was a bit distorted.

He actually didn't want to confront Fang Ziye head-on, but now is his good opportunity.

Bone Disease Department has four Chief Physicians, no sub-specialties; he currently can only stay under Professor Du Yingshan.

Before he felt it was fine, he could temper himself for a while, but this time, looking ahead the road is vast and vague, no day to stand out.

Living under another's roof in someone else's group, Professor Ceng Duoqin has no ambitions to speak of; wanting to do anything, he has to be obsequious, looking forward and back.

So he wants to go independent too badly.

This is a good opportunity; if he can't go lead a group alone, he's even thinking of leaving.

But even with such a layout, Ceng Duoqin still doesn't dare clash head-on with Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye runs a live stream; he once drew his sword at the personnel in Peking Union Medical College Hospital's National Tumor Laboratory, even pulled down an Academician's paper, and to this day they haven't been returned intact.

But Fang Ziye still lives and kicks.

"Director Du, my meaning is very clear; you decide."

"Fang Ziye is too lawless; in front of so many people, he dares threaten me."

"Later he'll dare threaten you too; he wants to have the final say alone, he wants to build an academic clique, a department clique." Ceng Duoqin must make the stakes clear.

"If Director Du you feel my proposal is what's against the rules, then I personally feel, this Zhongnan Hospital, I also have no need to stay."

"No superiors, no inferiors, ignoring rules."

Ceng Duoqin isn't an ignorant person; he's not afraid of Fang Ziye framing him, but fears Fang Ziye destroying his research achievements in the most extreme way — that's his lifetime's heartblood.

Moreover, Ceng Duoqin knows better: if he can go to Trauma Surgery, he'll be the real Administrative Director, no one can compete with him.

Not only Ceng Duoqin; Sports Medicine's other professors, and Arthroscopic Surgery's Professor Dong Yuanqing, actually all covet this position.

Ward Administrative Director is just a stepping stone.

However, they currently each lead their own groups, so their need isn't as gaping as Ceng Duoqin's; it's a stage where they can go or not go.

No one spoke.

Ceng Duoqin then pointed at Fang Ziye and scolded in a low voice: "Fang Ziye, what are you being so arrogant for?"

"My capability is enough, qualifications enough, title enough; what's wrong with me wanting to lead a group? On what grounds do you deny me?"

"You have no qualification whatsoever to deny me; this is our Orthopedics' internal affair, the hospital's allocation management; you don't have even a shred of qualification to say no."

These words have no flaw.

Fang Ziye isn't Zhongnan Hospital's administrative rank; he's not even a Ward Director; he has zero personnel allocation authority, only suggestion rights.

But Fang Ziye also didn't feel angry: "Fine, Professor Ceng, I agree with your idea."

"But I'll also apply to the hospital; I want to be assigned to Bone Disease Specialty, I want to lead a group."

"Our hospital stipulates Deputy Chief Physicians can lead groups!"

"Our hospital also stipulates group-leading professors should be younger, right?"

"Professor Du Yingshan, my demand is very clear: if Professor Ceng Duoqin wants to come to our Trauma Surgery to lead a group, my demand is to come to Bone Disease Department to lead a group."

"I want to do Trauma Surgery's disease types in Bone Disease Department, and also do Functional Reconstruction Surgery!"

Fang Ziye directly said words more unpleasant than cursing, because this is the situation Trauma Surgery currently faces.

Disgusting people, isn't it? Disgusting the department, isn't it?

Then come.

Everyone together deformity.

Anyway, within a department, the deformity levels of different sub-specialty groups can be seen in teaching hospitals nationwide.

If you come, then there is only one possibility.

Either Professor Du Yingshan, or Professor Ning Haiqing, or Professor Hu Pingdong gives me a spot.

"Fang Ziye? You bully people too much! ~"

"What do you mean by this?" Ceng Duoqin was somewhat panicked.

Fang Ziye wants to dig out a group in the Bone Disease Department, isn't this forcing him into a fire pit?

"Does Professor Ceng think he understands bone disease treatment better than me?"

"The capable occupy the position, that's all."

"My requirement is not wrong."

"Professor Ceng can invite any national bone disease specialty professional academic committee to recognize my capability, or we go together to find other professors of the national bone tumor group to recognize my capability."

"I, Fang Ziye, entering the Bone Disease Department to lead a group, is it qualified enough?"

"Or to put it another way, Professor Ceng and I go job hunting together, I can guarantee, wherever you Professor Ceng can go, I can go."

"But where can I go? Can you Professor Ceng?" Fang Ziye counter-questioned, tone calm.

"Professor Ceng, don't think that because you are a Chief Physician, you have no career predicament; I likewise have none."

"Trauma Surgery is the root of Orthopedics, the most basic of all Orthopedics, Trauma Surgery cannot be changed! ~ No hospital's Orthopedics dares to abolish Trauma Surgery."

"What is our hospital trying to do?"

Ceng Duoqin broke down right then, speaking his heart: "Fang Ziye, you are a disaster star, your Trauma Surgery becoming this situation, isn't it all because of you?"

"Your Person of Gratitude, because of you was removed from clinical duties."

"Your Grandpa Dong Professor! ~"

Deng Yong hearing this, couldn't sit still, coldly said: "Ceng Duoqin, you are presumptuous! ~"

"Teacher Dong is also someone you can criticize?"

"You tm still want to say my student deceived master destroyed ancestor, killed his Grandpa?"

"Han Yuanxiao's paper, when Fang Ziye was in the womb, he instigated him to fake it?"

"As for my matter, if not an accident, completely compliant, reasonable, and justified."

"Fang Ziye graduating in one year, so what?"

"If your student could be as excellent as my Ziye, you would break rules even more ruthlessly than me, you might jump even more than me."

"You want to play heart-piercing tactics?" Deng Yong's eyes darted up and down on Ceng Duoqin, corner of mouth twitching.

"Ceng Duoqin, look at yourself, do you still have the appearance of a Chief Physician and Professor?"

Thump thump thump!

Professor Du Xinzhan at this moment knocked on the table: "We are in a meeting, not quarreling at a vegetable market, everyone say two sentences less."

Deng Yong and Ceng Duoqin both shut their mouths, Ceng Duoqin also returned to his seat, no longer moving.

"Director Du, I'll retire early." Professor Hu Pingdong who hadn't spoken spoke up, voice low.

Professor Hu Pingdong is the former Director of the Bone Disease Department, only sixty-four this year, currently in re-employment leading group period.

Currently the Bone Disease Specialty Chief Physicians are slightly redundant, besides Ceng Duoqin himself being awesome enough to snatch a Chief Physician quota from many surgeries, it's also him occupying a position by being re-employed.

Otherwise according to normal rhythm, it should be after Hu Pingdong retires, then Ceng Duoqin can promote to Chief Physician, completing the succession of leading group professors.

"Master." Du Yingshan was anxious.

"Professor Hu." Du Xinzhan's voice was also somewhat chaotic.

"People get old, should go back to rest."

"You all stop quarreling too! ~ Say this say that, isn't it just a matter of one position?"

"I retire... Ceng Duoqin takes over my position leading group, Trauma Surgery is still Trauma Surgery."

"Trauma Surgery is the foundation of our Orthopedics, this point placed anywhere, any time is the bottom line."

Du Yingshan immediately said: "Master, this won't do."

Professor Hu Pingdong currently in the whole province and even nationwide belongs to a relatively prosperous period, bone tumor specialty treatment, not only lies in surgical operation, but also lies in the fire candidate of chemotherapy regimen application.

Hu Pingdong this age, is the peak period, is Zhongnan Hospital Bone Disease Department's facade.

"I say it works, it works."

"But I have one condition, just now Fang Ziye said, wants to come to our Bone Disease Department."

"Just this condition, Fang Ziye comes, regardless of following whom, let him choose." Hu Pingdong seized the gap to insert needle said.

"This is impossible." Deng Yong immediately said.

"Teacher Hu, you are deliberately misinterpreting Little Fang's meaning, Fang Ziye cannot possibly come to Bone Disease Department."

"Deng Director such great official authority! ~" Hu Pingdong both hands palms joined together.

"This also impossible, that also impossible, could it be truly as Ceng Duoqin says, Deng Director feels relying on one Fang Ziye, can make Orthopedics a one-man show?"

"There is give and take, your Trauma Surgery current situation, also unrelated to us."

"If continue putting Ziye in Trauma Surgery, who else can you give him bottom allowance?"

"No Chief Physician bottom allowance, you plan to let Ziye now directly face all things?"

"He is only thirty years old! ~"

Deng Yong hearing this, no longer hiding: "There is someone, Teacher Hu you need not worry."

"October someone will come, is Zhengda Affiliated First Hospital's Gong Jiahe Professor."

"Our Trauma Surgery Branch Society's Standing Committee Member."

Deng Yong's words made Fang Ziye beside him abruptly raise his eyelids, his gaze revealing sharp light, full of delight.

Deng Yong actually poached Professor Gong Jiahe to Zhongnan Hospital?

That's going to be interesting. Professor Duan Hong will have a legitimate rival from now on, whether openly or in the dark, rather than me fighting out of my weight class here.

Every Branch Society has these ranks: Standing Committee Member, Deputy Director, Chairman-elect, and Director Committee Member.

All of the above people combined nationwide total only thirty-one.

Those who can become Standing Committee Members are mostly figures truly ranked in the National Treasure Doctor circle nationwide; they are not publicly recognized as National Treasure Doctor level, but possess similar potential.

Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics Department's highest-ranking position currently is merely a Standing Committee Member of the Branch Society.

That is Director Du Xinzhan of Joint Surgery, who currently stands firm in the Orthopedics Chief Director Position, with no one unconvinced by him.

Du Xinzhan learned of this: "Professor Gong agreed?"

"Zhengda Affiliated First agreed to release him?"

Du Xinzhan asked two urgent questions in a row. If Gong Jiahe can join Zhongnan Hospital, then in the future Zhongnan Hospital can openly match Tongji Hospital Trauma Surgery in comprehensive strength, even surpassing it.

Competition among top teaching hospitals — comprehensive strength differs little; it comes down to the resources the leader controls and the speed of progress.

"It's already confirmed. Our Hospital's Personnel Department is discussing procedures with Professor Gong in detail."

"Because Professor Gong is a talent recognized by the Hospital as Discipline Leader level, he can bypass the Department and directly negotiate treatment." Deng Yong nodded.

Du Xinzhan looked at everyone: "Professor Gong Jiahe is indeed a Standing Committee Member of the Trauma Surgery Branch Society, recognized through election by the Trauma Surgery Branch Society!"

Hearing this, Hu Pingdong could only swallow two mouthfuls of saliva.

There are always people better than you, skies beyond the sky. Although Hu Pingdong was confident in his own strength, he did not dare doubt the true strength of another professor recognized as a Standing Committee Member.

The rock he lifted seems to have smashed his own foot again.

With Gong Jiahe "protecting the Dao" for Fang Ziye, he also dared not bring up the matter of Fang Ziye being sent to the wild again.

Then the previous proposal to have Fang Ziye come to Bone Disease Department also has no grounds to discuss.

"Why would Professor Gong come to our Hospital?" Ceng Duoqin muttered.

But no one answered him.

Gong Jiahe's coming here has a very obvious meaning: he came to take over Du Xinzhan's position.

Originally, if Deng Yong didn't step down, Du Xinzhan's current position would be taken by Deng Yong next year.

But Deng Yong was sniped from afar by someone setting up a long-range shot.

Fang Ziye flipped through his phone at this moment, looking at Ceng Duoqin and adding: "Just now Professor Zhang Xingze and Professor Qiu Zhenghua both replied to my messages."

"If I'm willing to go over, I can bring a Clinical Group, bring a Laboratory, allocate five Research Assistants, directly allocate three Doctoral Quotas, build a Postdoctoral Mobile Station."

"Research Startup Fund five million, annual research grant five million each year, and other aspects I won't mention further."

Zhang Xingze, Qiu Zhenghua — Eastern Han Orthopedics Academicians.

Fang Ziye brought out these two as fallback options — a killing blow, unsolvable!

Fang Ziye indeed has a way out.

As for the breach penalty for violating contract with Zhongnan Hospital, rest assured, the hospitals where the two Academicians are can afford it — just a few million.

Moreover, if Fang Ziye jumps to Tongji Hospital and doesn't go out-of-province, he doesn't even need to pay the provincial talent recruitment breach penalty — just over a million.

Others can snap their fingers and give you double.

Hu Pingdong's mouth corner twitched for a while, saying: "Director Du, I'll write an application to the Department, expedite the procedure, withdraw and resubmit the Division Application Form our Orthopedics submitted!"

"Next month, I'm going fishing."

One spit, one nail.

When Department resources are unevenly distributed and successors appear, either the old beat the young to death, or the old step aside for the young.

Before it was just that Ceng Duoqin didn't contest so openly and lose his temper.

"Teacher Hu, no."

"I can go outside." Ceng Duoqin, who had a good relationship with Hu Pingdong, stepped forward and grabbed Hu Pingdong.

Hu Pingdong turned head and said softly: "Professor Ceng, what are you going outside for?"

"Stay here properly."

While speaking, Hu Pingdong glanced at Fang Ziye, his gaze meaningful.

He didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and walked out.

This departure marks the end of his era. From now on he can only go outside to do 'wild surgeries', completely bidding farewell to his era in Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics.

Bone Disease Department's accumulation isn't thick enough, can't split into two sub-departments — this result was destined.

After Hu Pingdong left, Du Yingshan, Ceng Duoqin, and even Professor Ning Haiqing looked at Fang Ziye with gazes full of intense hostility, and reluctance.

Fang Ziye kept his eyes on his nose, nose on his heart, thinking inwardly: Professor Hu Pingdong's life counts as worth it. His prestige in Bone Disease Department and the hearts he won are beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

Even when his own master, Old Professor Dong Yaohui, retired early, others' mindsets were never this unified.

Hu Pingdong is definitely a qualified professor, a qualified Director, a qualified teacher.

Of course, he is also merely a qualified Bone Disease Department professor.

He didn't benefit Trauma Surgery much; when resource competition arose, his moves were also very decisive.

Just that the matter blew up, the final result wasn't achieved, so there must be an accounting.

Not just giving Du Xinzhan a way down, but also giving Ceng Duoqin a way down and a way out — this was the exit Hu Pingdong planned long ago.

If it succeeded, Ceng Duoqin goes to Trauma Surgery to develop Bone Disease Department.

If it failed, he retires, Ceng Duoqin can still get his wish to lead a group and display his talent.

There's no absolute right or wrong here, just that Fang Ziye is more domineering, his capability also very strong, no one dares casually move against him.

Now it's no longer simply other professors appreciating Fang Ziye; rather Fang Ziye's own existence, his own development, has already firmly integrated with Zhongnan Hospital's entire Orthopedics, becoming a true pillar.

Move Fang Ziye — not saying Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics' foundation will collapse, but Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics likely won't be able to stand up!

It won't perish, it just won't develop.

This isn't what everyone wants to see either.

How many years before someone like Fang Ziye appears?

Even Hu Pingdong, even Professor Ceng Duoqin, wouldn't actually want to drive Fang Ziye away, retaliation.

Du Xinzhan and the others all stood up, including Fang Ziye and Deng Yong, watching Hu Pingdong leave until he was out of sight, before sitting down one after another.

"Then today's meeting concludes here."

"Actually there isn't much good to announce."

"Liu Huanglong, you stay behind. Everyone else disperse." After Du Xinzhan gave the order, everyone truly dispersed.

After leaving, Fang Ziye stood honestly beside Deng Yong, neither sad nor happy, neither humble nor arrogant.

Professors Du Yingshan, Ning Haiqing, and Ceng Duoqin's expressions at this moment were particularly feigned anger.

Even Du Yingshan, who previously had a particularly good relationship with Fang Ziye, whispered a scolding: "Fang Ziye, you've gone a bit too far."

"That's Director Hu! ~" He didn't say he was my Master.

Fang Ziye's eyelid lifted slightly, expressionlessly saying: "Professor Du, whether it's too far depends on our respective perspectives."

"What the Bone Disease Department lacks is development, space, resources, internal contradictions, not me driving Professor Hu away."

"Moreover, this kind of thing will happen many more times in the Bone Disease Department in the future."

"Regardless of whether you Director Du admit it or not, I Fang Ziye am still Orthopedics' person, and in the future, the first to be promoted to Chief Physician of the Bone Disease Specialty, Professor of Bone Tumor Research direction, is very likely me."

"It's not just me who will benefit from this either." After Fang Ziye said this calmly, he didn't mention it again.

The Microcirculation Instrument and Orthopedics Tumor chemotherapy are cross-grade, cross-field, transformative breakthroughs; the benefits and aid they'll bring to Zhongnan Hospital's Bone Disease Department will only be rooster and dog ascend to heaven.

By then, it'll truly be Chief Physicians everywhere, Deputy Chief Physicians not as good as dogs.

How to retain talent in the department, how to solve the equal distribution problem, Du Yingshan as the current Director of the Bone Tumor Specialty must consider clearly.

Otherwise, when the time comes everyone will grab their cake and run, Zhongnan Hospital's Bone Disease Department will still fall apart.

But this is the Bone Disease Department's internal affairs, Fang Ziye isn't responsible for solving it.

On the contrary, Deng Yong's long-term planning for Trauma Surgery is already mature: the establishment of the Trauma Center Sub-ward.

Yuan Weihong, Vice Professor Chen Fang, Associate Professor Peng Long, Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan and others are all close to promotion to Chief Physician.

Because when Fang Ziye was in Master's Year 2, they were already Associate Professors, Deputy Chief Physicians.

Many years have passed since, they should be promoted, but Deng Yong already built the platform long ago, there are positions, many many positions.

This is words and deeds.
