Protagonist:

Fang Ziye

After bidding farewell to Vice Professor Chen Fang, Fang Ziye didn't even have lunch together with her, because Chen Fang still had some other matters to explain.

He also still needed to go find his students for a 'farewell meal', and since Chen Fang had decided to take up a post in Jiangxi Province next month, there were also quite a few procedures to handle on the Jiangxi side.

The friendship of gentlemen is as bland as water; there's no need to be overly meticulous about tedious etiquette like dining and drinking.

However, just as Fang Ziye drove from Han Street onto the main road, Hu Qingyuan's phone rang, and Fang Ziye chose to answer via car Bluetooth: "Qingyuan? What's up?"

"Master, do you still remember that short video post I shared with you yesterday?"

"Today it inexplicably got a bit of a minor explosion, there are a lot of comments attacking you..." Hu Qingyuan said.

Fang Ziye felt very surprised upon hearing this: "Ah ha?"

"You mean that short video where some commentator deliberately picked a fight with me? This can blow up too? Why? Did the other side buy traffic?"

Hu Qingyuan is a short video enthusiast, so he often scrolls through short videos; yesterday Hu Qingyuan happened to eat melon on Fang Ziye.

According to that author's account, Professor Fang Ziye of Zhongnan Hospital obtained an exceptional professional title promotion a few years ago.

But in the past two years, he has had little research output, so that commentator who does research popular science did a background check on Fang Ziye.

And he actually dug up something; he discovered Fang Ziye is actually doing a rare disease project on ALS right now, and he instantly 'got furious'!

"Seeking fame and reputation, not treating research funds as money, squandering them at will, seeking fame and reputation."

"Shocking, a certain professor of Han City University does this kind of thing for fame..."

Actually, this person still has some research foundation; he looked up the number of ALS patients worldwide, and felt that investing large amounts of funds to research a treatment plan for such a small disease type is completely wasting the country's money.

Admittedly this disease is very hard to treat, but once a solution is found, the fame it brings to the author is also huge.

Then the blogger also dug up some interviews with Zhongnan Hospital outpatient patients:

The patients and family members' meaning is that Professor Fang Ziye's number is very hard to get, and he doesn't do surgeries, arrogant and conceited. Many surgeries he could clearly do the best, he just refuses to admit patients.

Making many people who came from afar, drawn by his reputation, return empty-handed.

With this, Fang Ziye gained another label: "Cold, ruthless, stopping at nothing for fame, not even having the most basic medical ethics."

In the twenty-first century, what are the shortcuts to gaining traffic?

First, spray chengguan.

Second, spray teachers.

Third, spray doctors.

If analyzed from social benefit, this blogger's argument has no flaw at all, he didn't embellish either; at most, when labeling Fang Ziye, he labeled a bit ruthlessly.

"Oh ho, it's finally 404'd! ~" While Hu Qingyuan was speaking, a sudden sound of joy came through.

"If it's 404'd, the hospital's Publicity Department must have already exerted force! ~"

"Just right, it's also been a very, very long time since I accepted an interview." Fang Ziye laughed casually, not treating this matter as a serious thing at all.

If a person like him had to change his research direction because of a short video blogger's sharp critique, then Eastern Han's 'Medical Powerhouse' proposition would be 'nonsensical bullshit'.

……

The next day, Fang Ziye indeed received a call from the hospital area's Publicity Department, saying a Hubei Province reporter was coming to interview, Dean Wang had already decided to accept the interview, asking if Fang Ziye wanted to come together.

Fang Ziye is currently a benchmark in the hospital's surgical field, so naturally any good opportunity to show face would think of Fang Ziye.

At the hospital level, wanting to further elevate one's 'tier' relies not just on how many surgeries you've done, but on how many core competitive paths exist within the hospital.

New disease treatment plans, premium research systems, etc.

Fang Ziye fits multiple core competitive paths, so his status in Zhongnan Hospital is evident.

Fang Ziye naturally agreed.

"Professor Fang, long time no see, we meet again." When Fang Ziye arrived at the Publicity Department, he discovered those who came were not just Hubei Province official media.

Reporter Meng Changyi, who had done a special interview on Fang Ziye many years ago, had also arrived.

"Reporter Meng, Reporter Tan, Dean Wang, Director Xiao..." Fang Ziye smiled and greeted everyone one by one.

"Professor Fang, I actually came today with a purpose to eat melon; this segment of the interview will be cut, I wonder how Professor Fang views those comments online?" Meng Changyi's tone was easygoing, just like the most ordinary chat.

Fang Ziye smiled and said: "Watch with eyes."

"Then Professor Fang just doesn't care?" Reporter Tan also interjected.

Reporter Tan is a Hubei Province media reporter; Meng Changyi is a Longtai Media reporter.

"I don't care about the online blogger's remarks, but some of the comments below I did read seriously. Can't say I completely don't care either." Fang Ziye replied.

Then, Fang Ziye confirmed: "This segment will definitely be cut, right?"

Meng Changyi said: "It will definitely be cut, Professor Fang, you speak."

Fang Ziye frowned slightly, smiling as he said: "Someone wants to guide my clinical work direction! A portion of patients are unhappy and want me to change my research direction; with this time, they could write a research grant proposal, why pick a fight with me?"

"The National Natural Science Foundation Committee has no explicit stipulation that ordinary people cannot submit project proposals."

Meng Changyi and Reporter Tan both laughed upon hearing this.

Fang Ziye, his temperament matches his age and title, young and accomplished, very confident.

Dean Wang Xinghuan at this moment also said: "Reporter Meng, Reporter Tan, actually my meaning is about the same as Professor Fang's. Research is originally free; the direction of research should also respect freedom."

"If research has set patterns, then there's no need to speak of these two words 'research' anymore."

"In any industry, only an extremely small, extremely small handful of people dare to challenge the absolute unknown and incompetence."

"For example, the ALS disease type Professor Fang is researching, how many teams worldwide have been defeated before it?"

"What most people can see is just that research currently awaits breakthrough; what they can't see is hundreds or even thousands of people working day and night, expending heart and effort, yet reaping no harvest."

"Admittedly, patients with rare diseases are few, but they are also absolutely an Important Component of our Surgical Glove."

"Our Eastern Han's Ordinary People also Get Sick with rare diseases; these rare diseases still have No Medicine to Treat, they are also suffering, and they will also die."

Upon hearing Wang Xinghuan's words, Meng Changyi knew Wang Xinghuan was a Smooth Talker/Old Hand who could speak: "So, Dean Wang, your meaning is that the Rumors online are too frivolous."

Wang Xinghuan said naturally: "Can you Cut Another Segment?"

"That works too! ~" Meng Changyi nodded.
