Protagonist:

Fang Ziye

"Jinhuan, what did you say? Liao Jia went back into the hospital again? Who brought him in?"

On the high-speed rail back, Fang Ziye received a call from Xiong Jinhuan: "Didn't I say so many times not to let you bring Liao Jia into the department??"

"He simply doesn't have the talent for clinical work..."

Xiong Jinhuan has already stayed at the hospital, but his queue for Chief Resident is still after Jie Han; he has now also passed the Chief Resident period and is currently an Attending Physician on the Ben Yuan side, still following Professor Han, and is also another contact person for Fang Ziye.

"Professor Xie... forget it, if Professor Xie is willing to cover for him, let him go." Upon hearing Xiong Jinhuan say it was Xie Jinyuan, Fang Ziye felt helpless.

Currently in Trauma Surgery, the three Group Leader Professors are Han Yuanxiao, Xie Jinyuan, and Yuan Weihong; the Ward Director is Yuan Weihong.

After Xie Jinyuan was promoted to Chief Physician, in the year Professor Gong Jiahe jumped from Zhongnan Hospital to a sanatorium, he returned from the Emergency Department to Trauma Surgery to lead a group.

"Later give Senior Brother Li a call; Professor Liao Jia is still part of our research group after all. If something goes wrong, call my two teachers for help." After giving these instructions, Fang Ziye hung up.

Beside Fang Ziye, Jie Han tugged at his own earlobe, eyes flickering: "Is Professor Liao still that incompetent yet loves to play around?"

Fang Ziye let out a light sigh: "What else could it be... mainly the rest of us all have clinical appointments, only he spends every day playing in the lab; playing and playing, he naturally lost interest..."

But to be fair, Liao Jia's surgical talent is truly mediocre, and he's older now, having missed the prime time to hone basic skills.

Wanting to enter surgery again at nearly forty years old is obviously a pipe dream.

At first, after Liao Jia proposed this idea, Fang Ziye agreed too. After all, Liao Jia's animal experiment operation level spoke for itself.

However, once Liao Jia got into clinical work, Fang Ziye discovered his level was merely that of a junior Resident Physician, at most just a tiny bit stronger than the average level of the department's third-year Master's students.

After discovering this, Fang Ziye didn't want to bring him along anymore; no matter how much enthusiasm he had, it was no use.

"Mainly Professor Xie also feels tremendous pressure; he's been promoted to Chief Physician for two years, but his Professor title still hasn't been settled, and his Researcher title hasn't been clarified either."

Jie Han sighed lightly: "And our Orthopedics Department now has too many senior professional titles, so getting Deputy Chief Physician or Chief Physician titles from the hospital is also rising with the tide."

"Professor Liao's thinking is truly sharp; he seized on this point, which is why he went to find Professor Xie."

Fang Ziye nodded: "This is inevitable; once a department's comprehensive level and teaching ability rise, the internal competition atmosphere will only grow stronger."

"Every step forward, the competition surface widens, and the path becomes narrower and narrower."

"Professor Xie belongs to the batch that entered the hospital very early; his comprehensive qualifications..."

Fang Ziye stopped there, not commenting in detail: "In short, it is indeed us who destroyed the original normal ecology of Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics."

"But what can we do? Because we're mindful of Professor Xie's promotion, should we shrink back? That logic doesn't exist."

Zhongnan Hospital's Orthopedics has taken in quite a few new personnel.

Starting from Yuan Weihong, there are also Fang Ziye, Lan Tianluo, Jie Han, Song Yi...

They seem merely Trauma Surgery staff, but at the hospital level, leaders look and see these Deputy Chief Physicians in Trauma Surgery are all so impressive — how are you other sub-specialties doing?

With just this level and this research ability you want a promotion? That won't do.

Then they draw a line for the average of senior titles, and the average lines for Deputy Chief Physician and Chief Physician titles naturally rise.

Later people wanting to get Deputy Chief Physician promotion permissions find it not as easy as before.

The more top-tier the hospital, the more intense the internal competition atmosphere — this is foreseeable.

"Senior Brother, after you go back, do you still need to return to the Ben Yuan? I can drop you off and wait for you to return." Jie Han said.

"Forget it; what Professor Liao can handle is probably just simple cases like tendon repair; worst case there's still Professor Liu Huanglong there covering for him."

"Right, Jie Han, did Hand Surgery newly recruit a professor? What's his name?" Mentioning Liu Huanglong, Fang Ziye recalled hearing around March this year that Liu Huanglong had poached a Hand Surgery professor.

"Professor Liu Jiadong, previously worked in Gansu Province, then recruited through talent introduction to our hospital; also a big shot from a top hospital in Gansu Province that Professor Liu poached." Jie Han pursed his lips.

"Since Professor Chen Zuhua and Professor Hu Baiyu left, our hospital's Hand Surgery has been silent for so many years; if not for Professor Liu Huanglong and the new projects holding the fort, it might truly have collapsed beyond recovery."

"Personnel changes are truly damaging to the core." Fang Ziye sighed with emotion.

Good thing they didn't let someone finish off Han Yuanxiao with a single blow back then.

Mature Professors and Chief Physician-level figures are treasures of every province and hospital; even with high-salary talent recruitment temptations, how many are willing to jump ship easily?

Zhongnan Hospital Hand Surgery's major sub-specialty projects — 'Functional Reconstruction', 'Functional Rehabilitation', 'Limb Replantation' — couldn't attract many people over.

If Han Yuanxiao had really been taken down back then, the Chief Physician vacancy in Trauma Surgery would also be hard to fill.

To this day, the true Chief Physician strength in the ward is actually just two: one is Yuan Weihong, one is Deng Yong.

Deng Yong, because of a 'mistake', was expelled from Trauma Surgery by Grandpa Li Guohua; even after being promoted to Chief Director, he's not allowed to return to harm Trauma Surgery again; it remains so to this day.

Associate Professor Xie Jinyuan, though promoted to Chief Physician, his strength hasn't actually caught up; his situation is extraordinarily similar to Han Yuanxiao's back then, and he often says he's under great pressure...

"Senior Brother, a year ago, I accidentally overheard some gossip."

"Seems the previous Hand Surgery Professors Hu Baiyu and Chen Zuhua went after Professor Liu Huanglong too ruthlessly."

"Early 2000s timeframe; you can imagine the methods used back then yourself."

"And Professor Liu's appearance is ordinary; before he was often called very ugly, and people in the department joked about his looks."

"Professor Liu's PhD supervisor was the chief culprit; a few years after Professor Liu went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, he used 'methods' to drive him away; the remaining two just lingered on for so many years..."

"Later years may have improved, but the harm they caused Professor Liu has already solidified in those years. Professor Liu seized the opportunity; of course he'd be willing to kick them while they're down." Jie Han spoke matter-of-factly, voice proper, without any embellishment.

"Clinical projects, procedures must be proper, must go through layers of approval — this is a legal bottom line, not even a moral bottom line anymore!! ~"

"Professors Hu, Chen, Ni and others tolerated all this happening; they must be prepared to accept all the evil consequences."

"Of course, during the same period, similar things happened at Tongji Hospital too, but no one took advantage of the fire to strike there, so there wasn't such turmoil." Fang Ziye calmly discussed these matters with Jie Han.

Jie Han asked at the right moment: "So, Senior Brother, Vice Professor Chen Fang — are you planning to act or not?"

"After all, during our Trauma Surgery's difficult gap period, Vice Professor Chen Fang stepped up and single-handedly bore the pressure leading the group."

Vice Professor Chen Fang treated Fang Ziye well before, so when Ben Yuan's Yuan Weihong discovered Vice Professor Chen Fang was also doing what Professor Ni Yaoping did back then, he asked Fang Ziye for his opinion.

Fang Ziye did not agree at the first time.

Actually he understood Vice Professor Chen Fang's difficulties; he also wanted a promotion, also wanted to publish papers, and also wanted to improve his techniques, but after the department's standards for promotion were raised, Chen Fang saw no "hope," so he was persuaded by some pharmaceutical companies.

The pharmaceutical companies needed to use Fang Ziye's reputation to add weight to themselves, wanting to carry out a Lamp-black Effect, bypassing Fang Ziye to conduct clinical trials in advance...

"Merits and faults do not offset each other; I have already replied to Master, and current personnel authority rests with him. Things should be done according to the rules however they should be done according to the rules."
