Chapter 1671: with translation of chapter title

Keinta contacted the other independent directors? How could it be this fast! When I went abroad, I hadn't received the news yet.

Director Chris Johansen was somewhat taken aback.

In the board of Massachusetts General Hospital, there are nine independent directors and two internal directors. However, independent directors generally do not participate in decision-making; it is said that they have an Opportunity to convene a board meeting once a year, but many years have passed without anyone exercising this right.

Because the Swedish side is openly seeking to predetermine the Nobel Prize?

Could it be that Doctor Keinta has received some news?

Director Chris Johansen quickly grasped the 'key' and immediately said, 'I agree with Doctor Keinta's proposal.'

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Director Chris Johansen also asked about the Hospital where Zheng Ren works, then began communicating with the organizing committee to find Director Yan.

Director Yan sat in the front row, his face glowing red.

When Director Kong recruited Zheng Ren back then, he never imagined this kid could become a tenured professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The tenured professor system originates from the United States; it is a distinctive aspect of American higher education. It is also an important component of its education system, and the process of its emergence, development, and improvement reflects American society's emphasis on and pursuit of academic freedom.

Precisely because it is important, every tenured professor position is extremely precious.

Only after death can the position be passed to another person.

And a tenured professor also brings glory to their institution.

Director Yan felt that predetermining the Nobel Prize was too sensational, and he also noticed the title of tenured professor.

He felt a bit troubled, wondering whether, upon returning, he should promote Zheng Ren to tenured professor.

912 still has no tenured professor at all.

Rarity makes things valuable—that is the truth. Domestically, following the American model, there are also tenured professors.

But the higher the institution of learning, the more cautious it becomes.

For example,

Yan University has only one tenured professor—Mr. Ji Xianlin.

What about 912, then?

He is too capable, which is also a worry. Director Yan originally thought the earliest he could bring this up on the agenda would be after the Nobel Prize evaluation is finished.

But who would have thought that this little guy Zheng Ren not only obtained a visiting professorship at Mayo Clinic, but this time was also appointed a tenured professor by Massachusetts General Hospital.

Now what should 912 do?

Whatever they do is not good.

Doing nothing will invite criticism from the envious for not respecting or valuing talent. What is most important in the 21st century? Definitely talent!

But if they make him a tenured professor, what about all those senior academicians at 912?

Cui Lao of the Emergency Department and Gu Lao of the Thoracic Surgery Department are both nationally renowned senior veterans, academicians of the Engineering Academy, and the treasures of 912.

Director Yan quickly realized this matter was especially thorny, and the little guy had given him another problem.

What should be done next?

As he was painstakingly thinking of a solution, Director Ye bumped into Director Yan and said, 'Director.'

Director Yan looked up and saw the organizing committee chair leading Director Chris Johansen walking toward him.

Before the meeting, Director Yan only thought this was an ordinary directors' meeting.

Listening to speeches, giving speeches, then going home.

But he never expected that a thunderclap would arise from silence, and that kid Zheng Ren would stir up such a huge wave.

However, Director Yan, being seasoned, smiled and rose to greet Director Chris Johansen.

'This is Director Yan of Doctor Zheng's 912 Hospital.' the organizing committee chair introduced.

His voice was somewhat dry and monotonous, like that of an artificial intelligence.

This is an item not on the conference agenda; he knows the weight of a tenured professorship at Massachusetts General Hospital, so he can now complete the procedure like a robot, which already counts as extensive experience.

'Greeting.' Director Chris Johansen warmly embraced Director Yan, then went straight to the point: 'The board of Massachusetts General Hospital has decided to appoint Doctor Zheng as our tenured professor.'

Director Yan knew this was a notification to him, not a solicitation of his opinion.

He had no decision-making authority.

He smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Director Chris Johansen.

Upon hearing Director Chris Johansen say these words in person, all the directors behind him could no longer restrain themselves.

The sound of discussion was like a pot of boiling water, gurgling and bubbling continuously.

'Who is Doctor Zheng?'

'He should be the surgeon who has been live-streaming surgeries at Xinglin Yuan recently; he improved the TIPS Surgery and received a Nobel Prize nomination.'

'How did I hear about predetermining the Nobel Prize? Can the Nobel Prize be predetermined?'

'You must have misheard. Look, Director Chris Johansen...'

Everyone was discussing heatedly; whether it was the Nobel Prize nomination or the tenured professorship at Massachusetts General Hospital, it gave a feeling of something far away.

On the contrary, the usually aloof and unsmiling Director Yan of 912 seemed a bit closer.

Ye Qingqiu felt a bit dazed, and while Director Yan and Director Chris Johansen were talking, he quickly walked aside and called Zheng Ren.

The call hadn't even connected when he hung up. After thinking it over, he still called Su Yun.

'Director Ye, greeting.' Su Yun was quite polite.

'Su Yun, what's the situation with the tenured professorship at Massachusetts General Hospital?' Ye Qingqiu didn't have time for greetings, covered the microphone, and asked directly.

'Oh, this matter. There is a patient who supposedly had a Shou Bing at Massachusetts General Hospital three years ago; the Shou Bing went wrong, leaving a ceramic fragment in the hip joint. The Boss went up to remove it and then performed a hip replacement Shou Bing.'

'Just that simple?' Ye Qingqiu exclaimed in surprise.

'Director Ye, this is a medical accident, and it also involves the medical accident of the Nanyang tycoon—this is no small matter,' Su Yun reminded.

Ye Qingqiu thought about it, and indeed that was the case.

Although the United States has no medical disturbances, as long as it is judged a medical accident, a doctor's career prospects will become bleak.

This is true for doctors everywhere.

The risks borne by surgeons are far greater than those borne by internists. Even a surgeon of the caliber of Doctor Keen Ta cannot avoid mistakes.

"Where are you?"

"On the plane, we can still make it back to Di Du even if delayed."

"You can even make phone calls on the plane……"

"Chartered flight, Director Ye. They moved so fast, they've already sent a letter to the Medical Department? \" Su Yun's attitude was somewhat nonchalant.

Ye Qingqiu heard that and didn't respond, just hung up. Sending a letter to the Medical Department? They actually told Director Yan directly.

I still don't know anything.

However, this matter probably can't be blamed on Zheng Lao Ban; he seems not to know either.

Ye Qingqiu looked up and saw Director Yan invited onto the stage by Director Chris Johansen.

It was originally supposed to be the second batch of speeches, but the order was changed directly.

Director Yan was also somewhat caught off guard, but his adaptability was strong; after a few polite remarks, he went up onto the stage.

Seeing Director Yan's elated expression, Director Ye knew that Zheng Ren this guy probably had to be coaxed into coming himself.
