Chapter 708: Frozen Three Feet Is Not One Day's Cold! ~ (Requesting Subscription)

"If no one fishes them ashore, they can only sink into the sea. Many have sunk to the seabed like that; she said she was merely a lucky exception."

Fang Ziye was in the living room, holding a teacup, originally checking the schedule for the coming week on his computer; when he shifted his gaze to his mobile phone, he saw Liao Jia's reply.

Fang Ziye put down the teacup and replied cautiously: "So young, yet able to say such things? Liao Ge, you wouldn't have run into some premium immortal trap, would you?"

Liao Jia replied very seriously: "I've considered that possibility too, so I did observe her for a while."

"If she truly is doing it for the sake of learning, with my current financial resources it's not impossible to support a student."

"But it depends on her sincerity." Liao Jia replied with a hint of mischief.

Fang Ziye knew that although Liao Jia often went to entertainment venues, he never provoked women from good families; it was merely to establish a carefree persona for himself.

They are all adults, willing participants, each taking what they need, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses — perfectly normal.

Fang Ziye wouldn't stand on a moral high ground either: "Liao Ge, this isn't about money; no one on our team can handle this kind of game."

"And you, Liao Ge, the place where you met her does invite speculation; you still need to be careful..."

Fang Ziye regarded Liao Jia as a core target for his team; he didn't want Liao Jia to fall into someone else's 'honeypot' before he himself had even 'opened fire'!

Even if this 'honeypot' had nothing to do with his own specialty.

"Ziye, instead of worrying about me, you'd better go worry about your Tingzhu..." Liao Jia replied relatively objectively.

Fang Ziye was very confident about Luo Tingzhu; she had said her 'closeness' with Xiang Cai was mainly to guard against that girl crossing the bottom line for money, truly being harmed by Liao Jia.

Although they were on the same team, and Luo Tingzhu respected Liao Jia's personal ability and professional competence, as a woman she never had confidence in Liao Jia's 'promiscuity'.

"Liao Ge, let's not chat about this; did Nie Mingxian mention that matter to you?" Fang Ziye changed the subject.

Fang Ziye didn't play favorites; he had prepared a set of gifts for everyone on the team.

Lan Tianluo's gift had been sent long ago; currently Lan Tianluo is very delighted.

The gift originally prepared for Jie Han, however, because of Jie Han's 'breakdown' some time ago, Fang Ziye kept it in hand more cautiously, planning to correct it before sending.

Nie Mingxian's 'gift' had already been sent out.

Liu Guo is not a core team member; she only counts as Nie Mingxian's 'family member', incidentally brought into the team, responsible for the overall framework of tumor chemotherapy.

After only one collaboration, Fang Ziye still didn't regard her as an absolute team member, so it was impossible to prepare a gift.

Liao Jia, this non-critical factor, was the one Fang Ziye felt most unable to control; therefore he paid even more attention to him.

A research project cannot be accomplished by a single person; it requires the strength of a team, the comprehensive strength of the core team, which affects the project's progress and height.

A talent like Liao Jia is rare and cannot be sought.

Liao Jia is much older than Fang Ziye; therefore Fang Ziye's every move is clear as a mirror to him: "Ziye, to be honest, the reason I came to Zhongnan Hospital, and then followed to the sanatorium, was mainly Nie Mingxian's invitation."

"As for me, you could say I'm rotten through and through, used to being unrestrained; so when you suddenly lay out a framework for me, I instinctively feel uncomfortable."

"Moreover, the things you listed don't seem to hit my G-spot particularly, so I can't return a simple 'I like it' either." Liao Jia declined rather tactfully.

Fang Ziye picked up the teacup again; the remaining tea flavor was very strong, stimulating his tongue coating, and in an instant his thirst felt heavier.

However Fang Ziye simply had no time to attend to these bodily sensations: "Liao Ge, my sincerity you should be very clear about."

"Our team really lacks a talent like you who can independently handle animal models; I have no choice, so I resorted to this inferior strategy."

"If I made you feel uncomfortable, I offer you a sincere apology; hope you won't be angry."

This is the uncertainty factor of a makeshift team, lacking other pivot-structure members.

Lan Tianluo and Jie Han, both are Fang Ziye's direct disciples; the three young ones grew up together from junior doctors, witnessing and experiencing every step of Fang Ziye's growth.

So-called affection is forged step by step, one meal and one tea, one drink after another, slowly tempered in the daily routine.

As for Nie Mingxian, his acquaintance with Fang Ziye was 'coincidental'; afterward, Nie Mingxian participated in very many of Fang Ziye's events, and their collaborations were not small.

Now, Fang Ziye is bound to Nie Mingxian's teacher to a certain extent; plus Nie Mingxian himself has great interest in medicine; as long as the interest point is hit, Nie Mingxian won't run off randomly.

Liao Jia replied quickly: "Angry? Not to that extent."

"Fang Ziye, you don't need to be so cautious; I'm truly used to being unrestrained."

"Speaking of team strength, the team you're in, Fang Ziye, although currently only a prototype, its future potential is absolutely not less than the academician teams I've encountered! ~"

"But in comprehensive strength, it's actually still very wild, very immature. So in this aspect, there isn't much attraction either."

"The more crucial thing is, I don't know my own direction ahead either; but maybe I just didn't like being bound from the start, so even now I still can't change this temper."

"When I first came with Nie Mingxian, I thought I would especially envy your achievements, Fang Ziye; if I could blend in, I could also obtain—"

"The fact is exactly so! ~"

"But now looking back, I discover that even if these things are truly obtained, it's just that."

"You could also say I've had it too smooth, Fang Ziye, never particularly experienced the poisonous beatings of society and life, so I'm a bit arrogant."

"But this is my experience."

"My current wealth, not a lot, but not little either; just right at the most comfortable state domestically! ~"

Liao Jia listed the reasons very clearly.

To pull someone closer, one can only start from three levels.

One, affection; two, fame; three, profit.

Fang Ziye can't give profit; this guy Liao Jia has zero pursuit of fame, and fame brings him no pleasure. As for affection, Liao Jia is currently in an affection desert.

"Liao Ge, then let's not talk about this; I won't do much more in the future either; let's just leave everything to fate." Fang Ziye very decisively gave up deeper thoughts.

Liao Jia has stated clearly: I don't love fame; no matter what project you pour into me, I won't like it that much.

Even if forcibly kept, it would still be uncomfortable.

Can't be especially close friends and team members; later in the jianghu we can meet with a smile.

"Right, everything to fate."

"I'm already past thirty-five, nearing the age of no confusion; my greatest realization now is, everything to fate. Heaven has its own arrangements." Liao Jia said.

"Then Liao Ge, you rest first." Fang Ziye cut off the conversation between the two, and after putting down his phone, began pressing his temples.

This process lasted only nearly twenty seconds, then Fang Ziye's phone rang.

Liu Huanglong from Hand Surgery.

Fang Ziye let the phone ring for about ten seconds before composing himself, choosing to answer, and asking with a smile, "Teacher Liu, what instructions do you have?"

"No instructions, just reporting to you. I've also decided that from now on, I won't cause trouble for you anymore. I'll start living a regular, quiet life."

"I thought about it for a long time, and I still feel that simulating your current modality in Trauma Surgery, it's better to rest and recuperate first, and build up the team's foundation."

"So as to avoid a disconnect when the time comes——"

Hearing this, Fang Ziye hurriedly said, "Teacher Liu, if it's just a trivial matter like this, you really didn't need to call me, right?"

"If Teacher Liu has important business, feel free to speak directly?"

Unless Liu Huanglong's balls ached beyond cure, he wouldn't specially call Fang Ziye just for a sentence like that.

Liu Huanglong wasn't Fang Ziye's subordinate, let alone an affiliate. If he really wanted to say that, casually mentioning it over a meal invitation would be more fitting for his status.

Liu Huanglong said, "There is indeed a matter that needs to trouble Professor Fang."

"It's my father-in-law's matter!"

"Hmm? Teacher Liu, please speak." Fang Ziye hummed, ears perked up, fully focused.

"Professor Fang, actually it's not a big deal, you don't need to be so nervous."

"It's my father-in-law. He's old after all, and works often, so his legs and feet are slightly inconvenienced."

"But it hasn't reached the point of needing surgery, so I consulted a professor from our hospital's Rehabilitation Department."

"Director Xiao of Rehabilitation strongly recommended you. That's when I found out, so Ziye, you're actually a rehabilitation expert..."

Fang Ziye then breathed a sigh of relief. This really wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either.

An elderly person's leg inconvenience depends on whether it affects Liu Huanglong's father-in-law's work state.

If it affects him, the other party might have to take sick leave and retreat from the frontline.

Whether an Academician big shot personally attends the frontline, there's still a slight difference in jianghu influence.

Liu Huanglong is one of their own Orthopedics people, so Fang Ziye didn't hide anything: "Teacher Liu, whenever it's convenient, we can meet. I'll give some unprofessional opinions for reference."

Fang Ziye was still quite wary of Liu Huanglong's father-in-law. The man was too enthusiastic, almost finding Fang Ziye many "capable" assistants, every one an industry big shot.

If Fang Ziye didn't have his own ideas, he might have joined the other side long ago, like the Hepatobiliary Surgery Academician...

"Fang Ziye, look at you saying that, isn't that being polite to an outsider?"

"Next weekend then. Next weekend find a chance, I'll bring my father-in-law to Trauma Surgery, you take a personal look." Liu Huanglong said.

"Alright, it's settled then." Fang Ziye agreed.

After the pleasantries ended, Fang Ziye's right index finger scratched at his chin, then he chuckled softly, saying in a low voice:

"If I hadn't broken out of the sanatorium myself, I probably wouldn't have the qualifications to treat figures of this level now, right?"

"Seniority, this kind of thing, indeed still has to be fought for by oneself."

Fang Ziye didn't take this kind of thing to heart either...

The current task is very clear. All the timeline nodes are in his mind. Except for Liao Jia's side, where Fang Ziye still doesn't know how to calculate, he has a certain grasp on everything else.

But Fang Ziye also knows he can't make everything in his life perfect, so let it all go with fate.

Time flows like water. In a flash, nearly another week has passed.

December 9th.

Saturday.

7:00 AM.

Although it's the weekend, the Trauma Surgery doctor's office is very busy! ~

The doctor's office door is tightly shut. Everyone is gathered around the desk, but no shift handover is being conducted.

Yuan Weihong holds a report and task assignment made yesterday and just received today — he looked at it for a full ten-plus minutes.

Only then did he raise his voice: "Four days from now, which is November 14th, our Hubei Province will welcome one of this year's most critical tasks: co-hosting the Orthopedics COA."

"This Orthopedics Annual Conference is hosted by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Medical Association Orthopedics Branch, undertaken by our Hubei Medical Association."

"The assignment means our Hubei Medical Association Orthopedics Branch needs to arrange the content for this event."

"Orthopedics Branch Director Li Feng, and our hospital Spine Surgery Orthopedics Branch Deputy Director Vice President Cai Heng, have determined our Orthopedics reception tasks and on-site arrangements for this time."

"Among them, related to our Trauma Surgery: our hospital Trauma Surgery is responsible for the reception of Academician Zhang Xingze and Academician Jiang Baoguo."

When Yuan Weihong spoke here, everyone's gaze couldn't help but flash, looking toward Fang Ziye's direction.

Currently, there are only two or three Orthopedics Academicians still relatively active in clinical and research work.

The 2021 newly elected Academician Zhang Xingze, Academician Jiang Baoguo, and the 2023 elected Academician Tang Fupei, all work in Trauma Surgery related directions.

Among them, Academician Tang Fupei has a Military Hospital background. Even for the Orthopedics Annual Conference COA, he may not necessarily come.

But generally speaking, a co-host of COA level, when responsible for Academician reception, would try to distribute evenly, not let one hospital's one specialty bear it all.

However, although Academicians have currently broken away from the "succession system," in principle overall, they still follow the hidden principle of specialty successors.

That is to say, only after the old Trauma Surgery Academicians pass away or become Senior Academicians will new quotas appear.

Currently, in all of Hubei Province's Trauma Surgery, the person judged most likely to approach this step is not Tongji Hospital's Duan Hong, but Fang Ziye, whose focus has shifted——

The office fell deathly silent.

Fang Ziye kept his eyes on his nose, nose on his mouth, mouth on his heart, not saying anything.

Yuan Weihong said, "This task, simple is simple, difficult is difficult. Because besides doing reception well, we also have to do guidance well."

"Especially Professor Zhang Xingze. He currently serves as the Chinese Medical Association Orthopedics Branch Director Committee Member. He has many speeches to give this time."

"Therefore we need someone familiar with the terrain to scout points in advance, and arrange Professor Zhang Xingze's agenda and route map in advance."

"Do advance communication and handover. Ask clearly the schedules of Professor Zhang Xingze and Professor Jiang Baoguo. When they depart, when they land, when they return. What time the flight or high-speed rail ticket is."

Finishing, Yuan Weihong looked at Li Yuanpei: "Li Yuanpei, you handle Professor Zhang Xingze's agenda and schedule. Can you do it?"

Li Yuanpei's Adam's apple bobbed twice upon hearing this, he nodded, but replied: "Teacher Yuan, I can handle the pick-up and drop-off, but I might need one or two people to help."

"You arrange it yourself; aside from those in the department who have other tasks, you coordinate the rest yourself."

After Yuan Weihong finished speaking, he put down the list in his hand and said in a low voice: "If the two professors' schedules don't have an absolute conflict, then let Ziye drive and take you there."

"You're responsible for guiding the way."

Deng Yong interjected upon hearing this: "Just sending Ziye, would that be inappropriate? Professor Zhang Xingze's professional title rank is comparatively high, after all."

Academic conferences are not solely the business of clinical doctors; although Deng Yong has not yet returned to clinical work, he also has the right to participate in any academic conference.

"Teacher Deng, my thinking is this: receiving guests at the airport or high-speed rail station doesn't require a Chief Physician to show up; Fang Ziye is a Deputy Chief Physician, and he's young!"

"This way, it doesn't make Professor Zhang Xingze appear overly concerned with pomp, and we've also sent someone."

"As for the subsequent reception work after Professor Zhang and the others arrive in Han City, Director Li Feng and Director Duan Hong have separate arrangements."

The Hubei Medical Association framework is very large; the Orthopedics Branch is just one of the branches. Besides the Orthopedics Branch, there is also the Trauma Surgery Branch, where Duan Hong is the Director Committee Member.

It's just that although the Trauma Surgery Branch and the Orthopedics Branch are in a "parallel" structure, nominally it is still governed by the Orthopedics Branch; the Trauma Surgery Branch was merely upgraded from a study group to a branch, and hasn't become independent.

"Good!" Deng Yong didn't say anything more.

Now Yuan Weihong is in charge; he shouldn't excessively dictate and restrict Yuan Weihong's performance.

Yuan Weihong continued: "The second matter is, Teacher Deng, Teacher Han, as representatives of our Zhongnan Hospital Trauma Surgery, you two might also need to undertake certain reception tasks."

"Director Li Feng gave me a list; some of the professors on it might need you and Professor Han to handle personally; my rank isn't high enough."

Han Yuanxiao has likewise only paused his Zhongnan Hospital work and hasn't been dismissed, so attending academic conferences is his normal right as a professor.

Moreover, the restlessness on Professor Han Yuanxiao has already been completely dispelled; he can return to clinical work soon. So, having him appear as a member representing Hubei Trauma Surgery to connect with national peers is just right.

In reality, it's Deng Yong leading Zhongnan Hospital's Chief Physicians to get acquainted; currently, because of Fang Ziye, Deng Yong has also reluctantly been entrusted into the ranks of national top-tier experts, barely squeezing into the circle of people like 'Duan Hong'.

Although Yuan Weihong is the Trauma Surgery Administrative Director, at the national COA conference, others won't look at your unit position; they only look at your seniority and how familiar you are with others.

Yuan Weihong then looked at Professor Gong Jiahe: "Professor Gong, you've just arrived and are a Guest of Honor, so I haven't arranged any tasks for you."

"On the contrary, Tongji Hospital has already arranged people to handle your itinerary application; you can reply at your discretion."

"We've also arranged an assistant for you." Yuan Weihong said immediately in an ingratiating manner.

At Professor Gong Jiahe's level, he can already sit on equal footing with Duan Hong; at that time, they will inevitably both be Chairman Guests of a sub-venue, able to control the rhythm of a branch venue. Sitting up there, he commands a domain; he is Zhongnan Hospital's anchor.

This anchor is even steadier than Deng Yong.

"I'll follow whatever Director Yuan and Director Li Feng arrange." Gong Jiahe replied in a very down-to-earth manner, not acting like a strong dragon suppressing the local snake.

At Gong Jiahe's level, he certainly wouldn't do very simple reception work, nor does he need to accompany for drinks and such. What he does is accept others' respect, represent Zhongnan Hospital's identity in his own circle, and display a foundation.

Even, Gong Jiahe currently represents the foundation of Hubei Trauma Surgery, its nationwide voice and influence.

……

After Yuan Weihong finished the reception planning and itinerary, he immediately divided the people into several groups.

Chen Fang and Peng Long, the two of them, also couldn't be idle; they had tasks too, such as on-site venue order and staff — all needing the department's graduate students and doctors to play roles.

Although some pharmaceutical companies and company people would help, they aren't that professional after all, and the employees' seniority is mixed; graduate students and doctors who have mixed in the large conference hall and provincial orthopedics conference venue are definitely needed to undertake tasks...

Han Yuanxiao very proactively took over Professor Peng Long's group; Deng Yong went to command Chen Fang's group.

Yuan Weihong gathered Fang Ziye and the others, saying: "Ziye, this Orthopedics Annual Conference, your task is the heaviest, and your responsibility is the greatest!"

"Because besides your own role as a speaker, you might also need to roam between other sub-venues, to prevent anyone with no eyes from spraying feces at our hospital's people."

"You don't need to worry about the Graduate Student Sub-venue and Youth Sub-venue; just pay attention to the speaking sessions of Professor Deng Yong, Professor Liu Huanglong, and our department's Bone Disease Professor Du Yingshan."

Fang Ziye heard this and immediately said: "Master, I already have four speaking slots now."

"I only applied for one myself; the other three were people seeking me out to book me."

The most normal way for the Orthopedics Annual Conference speaker list is to apply oneself; the special case is professors with bigger reputations, who are invited to contribute by the organizer and co-organizer.

"When? Hurry up and tell me." Yuan Weihong's ears perked up, and he started recording the times.

This COA is divided into over a dozen sub-venues.

If there's a time conflict then, Yuan Weihong will also have to report to others in advance, letting them be careful themselves.

"The 14th, two sessions: one at 9 AM, Trauma Surgery Sub-venue; one at 4:30 PM, Innovation and Application Forum."

"The 15th, one session at 11 AM. Hand Surgery Sub-venue."

"The 16th, 9 AM. Bone Disease Sub-venue."

"Originally the Bone Disease Sub-venue invited me to go speak at 9 AM on the 14th; I pushed it back and recommended Nie Mingxian." Fang Ziye said.

"Tingzhu isn't participating this time?" Yuan Weihong asked further.

"Tingzhu is currently a staff member of our Trauma Surgery Postdoctoral Mobile Station; it's not convenient for her to show face at Bone Disease. She went to the Youth Forum." Fang Ziye said.

"Are all your lecture topics written?" Yuan Weihong immediately asked.

One report and four reports are completely different.

Fang Ziye said: "I only got the final notice on the 7th; I originally only planned to do one session; now it's just a first draft, and in the end it can only be a first draft — I have no time to revise!"

"Master, it's not that I'm not serious and careful; it's that I have no time. I can only do a good job on our Trauma Surgery's two sessions first."

"The others can't be pushed off, so I can only go muddle through."

Although Yuan Weihong was very unsatisfied with Fang Ziye's words, what Fang Ziye said was fact.

It was other participants of the Orthopedics Annual Conference who disrupted Fang Ziye's plan. So, Fang Ziye definitely can't achieve perfection.

This isn't an academic report Fang Ziye actively organized; it's a commissioned contribution!

Therefore, pursuing perfection is impossible.

Fang Ziye finished speaking, then added: "Oh, right, Master, Friday evening, which is the evening of the 15th, Professor Zhang Yue from Huaxi Hospital invited me to a meal; you'd best go too."

"He just sent the message today."

"All the agendas only came out today."

"Noon on the 16th, Magic Capital Sixth Hospital; evening of the 17th, Huashan Hospital; evening of the 14th, Vice Dean Jiang from Beijing People's Hospital also sent a message inviting me to eat together." Fang Ziye recited the important invitations he received like counting his treasures.

Yuan Weihong listened, seriously chewing over every single time node.

Ice three feet thick does not freeze in a single day; grinding an iron rod into a needle is not the work of a single day.

Fang Ziye being able to receive this many invitations is absolutely not because Fang Ziye is handsome, nor is it because Fang Ziye suddenly rose from obscurity.

Rather, it is because Fang Ziye went through a year and a half of accumulation, and this accumulation achieved the key label of "overtaking on a curve."

After deep thought, Yuan Weihong replied: "I'll try my best to arrange it, but I can't guarantee all of them will be able to attend — your Master, I have friends too! ~"

Fang Ziye immediately said: "Master, actually I also want to push a few, just wanted to hear your suggestion."

"Although Teacher Zhang currently has no schedule invitations, it's inevitable that there will be sudden face-to-face invitations when the time comes."

"Fine! ~ You consider it yourself, I don't know which one would be better to push either." Yuan Weihong directly shook his head, not taking up Fang Ziye's words.

Magic Capital Sixth Hospital, Huashan Hospital, Huaxi Hospital, Capital People's Hospital — which one's Jianghu status in Orthopedics isn't Premium many times higher than your Zhongnan Hospital?

Being able to have one or two hospital bigwigs eat together with you is already giving you face.

If it weren't for Fang Ziye, it would be Deng Yong having to thicken his skin and actively go curry favor with them to eat together, rather than them inviting you.

After Yuan Weihong finished speaking about Fang Ziye's matters, he looked toward Li Yuanpei again: "Yuanpei, this form, you come analyze it properly, I feel my head's a bit big."

Li Yuanpei actually also had an electronic version of the form: "Teacher Yuan, there's no need for you to consider all situations, we just need to do our own tasks well."

"This is the Orthopedics overall annual meeting, not an academic report hosted by our hospital, let's first arrange what we can arrange ourselves, and hand the difficult points to Director Li Feng?"

"Let him go plug the gaps and fill the omissions, we're not sitting in this position, why consider so much?"

If it were before, Yuan Weihong would naturally have listened to Li Yuanpei's suggestion.

But today, Yuan Weihong instead shook his head: "Yuanpei ah, so that's why you don't feel a headache?"

"Director Li Feng, Professor Duan Hong, and so many Deputy Directors, specially entrusting the work of receiving Academicians to our hospital our Trauma Surgery — what's the meaning?"

"Others give you this much face, and you sit here saying you only want to do well what you should do?"

"Others build you a meat ladder, and you give them a fart as return?"

Li Yuanpei was completely baffled, Yuan Weihong's words completely poked into his information blind spot.

Hubei Province wanting to push Fang Ziye to strive for a future Orthopedics Academician position — this matter fundamentally isn't something at Li Yuanpei's level that can be accessed.

"Teacher Yuan, then I also don't know how to arrange it." Li Yuanpei also very sensibly didn't refute.

"Qin Geluo, you take a few people to do ward rounds first, I'll further discuss this Orthopedics annual meeting matter with Ziye and Yuanpei, strive to have a preliminary plan by this weekend."

"Not affecting weekday surgery arrangements."

Fang Ziye raised his right hand to check his watch, said: "Master, I still have outpatient clinic today."

"Then you go do yours." Yuan Weihong nodded, indicating he had thought of this long ago.

Fang Ziye is a newly promoted Deputy Chief Physician, having outpatient clinic arranged on weekends is a very normal thing. After all, he's young.

Qin Geluo's current outpatient day is also Sunday.

"Lin Fangzhong." Fang Ziye turned his head and called.

Lin Fangzhong immediately followed Fang Ziye out of the department.

Saturday outpatient clinic also opens punctually at eight, at most can be late by around fifteen minutes, otherwise waiting patients getting impatient might complain.

……

After leaving the ward, Lin Fangzhong finally let out a breath of relief.

Patted his chest and said: "Senior Brother, this COA formation is too big, I've felt like I could barely breathe since this Monday."

Fang Ziye nodded: "It's also my first time experiencing the pressure of co-hosting COA, too many factors to weigh."

"Before it was all attending meetings, so just a cursory glance, didn't need to think about any tasks."

"Now as co-host, discovered there are too many trivial matters."

"Just what my Master raised this morning, still haven't truly begun yet."

"When the time comes, there might be dozens of on-site check-in ports, all needing our Han City graduate students to go on-site responsible for check-in guidance, also give gifts, attendance certificates."

"Also need to go in advance to verify conference venue setup, go in advance to venue to check equipment, prepare all kinds of computer model interfaces!"

"These things can't all be handed to the hotel, we ourselves must also have preparations."

"Our department's responsible sub-venue Jiangyao Hall 303, everything must be arranged perfectly, cannot have any mistake, this is respect for all venue attendees." Fang Ziye speaking now, also increasingly has 'Fan'er' and sense of pressure.

Lin Fangzhong nodded vigorously: "Li Yuanpei Senior Brother said, let me at that time be responsible for taking computers, recording each speaker's PPT title, good for writing articles later."

"If any teacher didn't bring a computer, use my computer."

"Of course this possibility is very small……"

Fang Ziye smiled and said: "Small possibility also must prepare, at that time chargers, adapters and such must not be forgotten."

"After this month ends, we still have Hubei Province's Orthopedics annual meeting, at that time you'll have even more experience."

Lin Fangzhong asked very expectantly: "Senior Brother, to speak at this level of COA sub-venue, generally what level is needed?"

"Let me calculate for you, our Hubei Province, just in terms of Trauma Surgery, only counting our Zhongnan Hospital, Provincial People's Hospital, Tongji Hospital, Union Hospital, there are roughly sixteen Chief Professors."

"This doesn't even count Fourth Hospital etc."

"Nationwide there are thirty-plus provinces."

"Daily arrangements related to our Trauma Surgery sub-venue, total only one hundred thirty-three items."

"When the time comes, what Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Tongji Hospital, Beijing Third Hospital, Beijing Jishuitan, Capital People's Hospital, Huashan Hospital etc. these hospitals will occupy the main quotas."

"Like my Master Teacher Deng Yong, if lucky might apply for one spot."

"Professor Duan Hong types, then definitely have spots."

Fang Ziye watched Lin Fangzhong's expression grow increasingly worshipful, immediately realized he had self-boasting suspicion, so said: "Your Senior Brother me is lucky, accidentally stepped on a relatively sensitive point."

"Otherwise, I'd at most just go to the Youth Forum show my face, and still have to see if others willing to give opportunity."

Lin Fangzhong shook his head, squeezed out eye corners resembling cosmetic surgery modification: "Senior Brother, you also don't be too modest."

"In the department who doesn't know Senior Brother you're already excellent to the point of near deformity?"

"Everyone says you're now considered one of the faces of our hospital's Orthopedics Department."

Fang Ziye smiled and nodded: "Perhaps that counts."

"It's also because our Masters were willing to support me, not letting me run into some messy, troublesome matters."

"Otherwise, in many hospitals, the handover between new and old doctors can kill people; new techniques trying to emerge would affect the old professors' 'reputation' and 'interests'!"

"When opinions clash, you don't even have the chance to launch new research projects in clinical practice; either you endure, or you leave."

Fang Ziye spoke to here, gently shook his head, and said with regret: "Actually our hospital is currently in this kind of situation too; I hope it hasn't caused you all especially large trouble."

This is a problem subordinates at other hospitals would encounter, and it's equally a problem Zhongnan Hospital is currently facing.

Resources in the department are limited.

Bed resources are fixed; if we want to carry out mangled extremity and limb salvage surgeries, then patients of other disease types have nowhere to go.

No patients at all, and you want to launch the fucking clinical trials?

And the current Trauma Surgery, everything revolves around these two surgical techniques; in other words, for Lin Fangzhong and the others' environment, if you don't lean toward these two surgeries, you won't just die — you'll be 'forced to death' by others!

Fang Ziye never thought he would become an academic warlord or a specialty warlord, but currently Trauma Surgery's resources are limited, and he passively became this fierce beast.

Zhongnan Hospital's Trauma Surgery also has no choice; if they don't choose this advantageous route, it's handing over a great situation to others on a silver platter.

Using their own shortcomings to meet others' advantageous disease types and surgical techniques head-on.

Fang Ziye precisely understands this point clearly, so he earnestly hopes the graduate students currently studying don't fall behind too severely.

They can make up for it through their own 'methods', can keep up with the rhythm, and not have their prospects affected too much.

Fang Ziye himself came up from such a position, and not that long ago either, so Fang Ziye still knows what it feels like for others to 'stand and speak without back pain', so he tries to do a bit more.

Later on, when Fang Ziye has been away from the bottom for a long time, perhaps he won't be able to empathize like now.

"Senior Brother, actually there isn't." Lin Fangzhong lowered his head slightly, his voice barely audible.

"Don't say there isn't; you can't fool me either."

"Your Senior Brother's head here still hasn't reached the point of being flattered into complete unconsciousness! ~"

"So, whether you scold me, fear me, or truly respect me, I'll still always treat you as my Fellow Trainee."

"And, because you're my Fellow Trainee, my feelings for you will inevitably differ from those for others." Fang Ziye's thinking was very clear.

Lin Fangzhong didn't answer.

"Lin Fangzhong, I also walked through from your age; your current position was my position a few years ago, so I know you'll definitely be thinking some things."

"Of course, what specifically you'll think, I'm not clear either."

"But if the opportunity is suitable, I hope you can tell me; I won't get angry either." Fang Ziye said.

After hearing Fang Ziye say this, Lin Fangzhong then mustered the courage to say: "Senior Brother, there really are some idle gossip in the department right now."

"Especially Vice Professor Chen Fang and Peng Long Team's students and Senior Brothers all say they're all just runner-ups."

"Except for Senior Brother Xiong Jinhuan, the other Fellow Disciples simply have no way to compete with Professor Deng's graduate students."

"Because the resources we get allocated aren't uniform."

"So what we have to consider is how to stay at Ben Yuan; they have to consider which prefecture-level city hospital to go to."

"Even for the PhD entrance exam, our department's quotas will be fixed by our team's students! ~"

Fang Ziye nodded and asked back: "But what about the facts?"

Lin Fangzhong widened his eyes, not understanding Fang Ziye's meaning.

"The fact is, Professor Han Yuanxiao's PhD students are more likely to be Professor Han's Master's students; our team's PhD students are more likely to be our team's Master's students."

"The other Fellow Disciples, those who can fight their way up do so; those who can't, all leave."

"Wanting absolute fairness is impossible. Only objective fairness."

"That is, at the moment of hospital retention and PhD entrance, guarantee the mechanism is fair."

"Reality is also like this."

"Some can't even afford meals, while others hire tutors every day and attend all kinds of training classes."

"But no matter how unfair, parents, when capable, won't let their children experience the feeling of studying while not even having enough to eat, on the premise that they can let their kids attend cram schools."

"It's the same between hospitals."

"The provincial research funding Tongji Hospital's Trauma Surgery gets annually has a huge gap with our hospital's Trauma Surgery."

"It's impossible to be fair between universities either."

"The funding support Huaqing and Jingdu University receive is far higher than other universities."

"But three feet of ice doesn't form in a single day's cold."

"These universities also weren't nationwide top-tier from the very start." Fang Ziye replied.

Lin Fangzhong continued: "But Senior Brother, Huaqing and Jingdu, aren't they just occupying geographical advantage and the advantage of excellent student resources being concentrated?"

"So what? This is already the objective situation; you can't change it, and Jingdu University and Huaqing University won't tolerate you changing the status quo either."

"What we can do is either join them, or, within our ability, recruit some truly knowledgeable quality student sources, completing one new cycle after another of endless succession."

"Eat what your ability affords." Fang Ziye said.

"We're at the Outpatient Clinic; let's chat about this topic later……"

Fang Ziye actively ended the topic, but he had just entered the floor where the Orthopedics Clinic is located when his mobile phone flashed with a message——

From Professor Zhou Yan of Xiangya Hospital.
