top student at medical school

"Little Ye'er, your dad and I saw you on the news." Liang Xia's voice came through the phone, her tone trembling slightly, her emotion and deep pride reaching Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu through the phone.

"My son is so outstanding!!" Fang Nan said.

"My son is also outstanding..." Fang Nan's uncle, who was standing next to him, also chimed in with a shout.

"Uncle, you've come to visit too?" Fang Ziye greeted them.

"I came over because Fang Nan told me you were going to be on the news, and I actually saw it. Our Fang family has produced some outstanding people, your grandparents are here too..." The uncle's voice was also filled with pride.

Fang Ziye didn't think that Liang Xia and Fang Nan were showing off this time.

For most people, getting on provincial television is a stroke of good fortune; there are very few people in the country like Fang Ziye who can get on the most official news channels.

Paralysis caused by spinal cord injury is currently a global problem. This "first" solution to paralysis has more than just enhanced Fang Ziye's reputation.

Comprehensive medical strength, along with the vast industrial chain and export 'profits' behind it, is extremely important.

Moreover, Chinese medicine has always been refined but not comprehensive.

"Mastery" simply means being proficient and having good application skills. However, truly original domestic creations do not account for a large proportion in the medical field.

China desperately needs some inspiring innovations to correct this situation, enhance its comprehensive national strength, and become a major exporter as an original creator, which can further improve its domestic soft power and reputation.

In the past, China mainly exported generic drugs and generic medical devices.

Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu then called people over one by one.

The phone circled around on the other end for a while before returning to Liang Xia's hand: "Xiao Ye'er, Xiao Luo, have you had dinner yet?"

"I've already eaten. Tingzhu will be having her midnight snack soon." Fang Ziye glanced at Luo Tingzhu and, taking advantage of Liang Xia's good mood, planned to tell his family the news that he was pregnant.

Although there's a custom in my hometown that babies are unstable before three months old and shouldn't be told to outsiders, Fang Ziye didn't intend to care about that.

Anyway, he's planning to put Luo Tingzhu under house arrest recently.

It's not that Luo Tingzhu can't go out to work, but she absolutely cannot work more than seven hours a day.

No matter how busy the 'sanatorium' is, it can't keep up.

"Having a late-night snack is good. Didn't Tingzhu say she wanted to lose weight?"

“Actually, I don’t think she’s fat at all. You should persuade her to stop dieting. Eat more; she looks so thin and weak…” Liang Xia advised.

"She's still on a diet, but the baby needs to gain weight," Fang Ziye said with a smile.

Luo Tingzhu narrowed her eyes and chuckled.

However, she didn't think to touch her belly. She was less than eight weeks pregnant and couldn't feel anything. The little one inside probably hadn't even taken shape yet, and she estimated it would be a few more days before she could hear a heartbeat.

Liang Xia was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Tingzhu is pregnant? When did this happen?"

Why didn't you tell us?

Fang Ziye said, "She just got pregnant, and we only found out a few days ago."

"I just had an ultrasound and blood tests last week... How could you have told me sooner?"

Liang Xia wouldn't be so blunt as to say, "Didn't you say you didn't want children?"
She quickly replied, "That's good. The tastes are often strange in the first two months of pregnancy. Let Tingzhu eat as much of what she likes."

"Forget it, you probably can't handle it anyway. I'll come over tomorrow and have your dad deal with the livestock at home. Bring them over in a while."

"I need to go buy some more chickens and ducks..." Liang Xia began to make arrangements very skillfully.

Upon hearing this, the uncle said, "Liang Xia, why are you still feeding chickens and ducks? Buy some and send them to my chicken coop. You can have Fang Nan come and pick them up in a while."

"You two don't have anything to do right now, so hurry up and go to Han City to keep an eye on things."

"Xiao Ye is so busy. She's a professor now. Things aren't like they used to be."

"When Xiao Ye'er's older sister got pregnant, your sister-in-law went there immediately..."

Although her uncle said that her family would take care of her daughter, he did not mention Luo Tingzhu's family. They all knew about Luo Tingzhu's family and did not think there was anything wrong with her family not helping her.

A daughter-in-law like Luo Tingzhu is hard to find even if the rest of the Fang family searched high and low.

Luo Tingzhu took the phone: "Mom, you don't need to rush over, I've only just..."

"Silly girl, you don't know, it's much easier to be taken care of after you get pregnant."

"Didn't Xiaoye'er buy a house? It's quite big, so I'll come over and clean it up. You can stay there from now on; he's so clumsy..."

Luo Tingzhu looked at Fang Ziye's groping hands and said, "Look, even Mom says you're clumsy."

Fang Ziye still refused to leave.

With such a soft and fragrant body in my arms, why not take it!

The laughter was still hearty. On the other end of the phone, her aunt and grandparents were making arrangements to feed the chickens and ducks, buy sweet wine, and so on, saying that pregnant women sometimes don't like drinking water and need to drink some sweet wine...

Fang Ziye hurriedly said, "Mom, Grandma, you can't do that."

"You can't drink alcohol while pregnant, not even sweet wine."

"Tingzhu is allergic to alcohol, and alcohol is bad for a baby's development, affecting nerve development and causing intellectual impairment!"

Grandma laughed and said, "It even lowers intelligence. Your mother used to drink it like this too."

"Aren't you perfectly fine?"

Fang Ziye immediately said, "Grandma, you're right. I was probably a candidate who would have gone to Tsinghua University or Peking University right after the college entrance exam, but I only got into a first-tier university."

"It's all because of the sweet wine!"

……

Since she's already pregnant, Fang Ziye wouldn't suggest that Luo Tingzhu have an abortion.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziye asked, "What do you want to eat? I can buy or make anything else for you, except for snacks."

"I want to eat some dates, but I'm worried I won't pass my glucose tolerance test later!"

Fang Ziye said, "There's still so much time before the glucose tolerance test, what's there to be afraid of... You just sit at home, I'll go buy it for you..."

“Let’s go together, we’ll be driving anyway,” Luo Tingzhu said.

“Okay…” Fang Ziye and Luo Tingzhu immediately went out.

On the way, Fang Ziye received a call from the lab, but he immediately declined. "I'm busy, I have to take care of my wife and daughter."

"Oh wow, Tingzhu is pregnant?"

"That's fine too, anyway, the project is almost finished!!" Liao Jia continued to complain, "I have every reason to suspect that you did this on purpose." "You said earlier that your research pace was to do one project a year, and this project just started to show promise, so you jumped ship."

"No, Ziye, don't you always say that you only enjoy the process and not the result?"

Fang Ziye was driving, while Liao Jia was driving at an even higher speed!
Luo Tingzhu was no longer the naive little girl she used to be; she immediately understood Liao Jia's meaning and slapped Fang Ziye!
"Brother Liao, can we just blurt out what we're talking about in the lab?"

"I'm already injured, so you'll have to reimburse my medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress."

"But, Brother Liao, your wife hasn't even finished her postpartum confinement period yet, is it really appropriate for you to come to the lab?" Fang Ziye asked Liao Jia.

"The main problem is that I can't help her. She went to a postpartum care center, where there are postpartum nannies and a kitchen. I don't even know how to hold a baby." Liao Jia got pregnant before she got married, which was during the time when Liao Jia was abroad.

"Staying in the family quarters is so boring. My sister-in-law and Baobao's daily routine is just sleeping."

"I slept so much that I got a stiff neck."

Liao Jia gave birth to a son on the eighth day of the lunar month, and he was given the nickname Babao!

"Anyway, I'm not coming now, and I can't come over," Fang Ziye stated firmly.

The project is going to be a long and arduous process, and it's very difficult to make any quick progress. It's not a critical juncture either, so Fang Ziye naturally needs to take some time to stay home and spend time with Luo Tingzhu.

If Fang Ziye doesn't even take this kind of legitimate 'leisure' time, then he's truly a complete idiot.

Luo Tingzhu understood Fang Ziye's situation: "Senior brother, if there's something important in the research group, you...?"

“What’s the big deal? Haven’t you been keeping an eye on our project progress? I’ve been stuck with them all along, working on it myself.”

"It's not like it was years ago anymore, I still have to keep enduring this..."

“I have so many clinical duties, unlike Liao Jia who is so bored,” Fang Ziye said.

"By the way, Brother Nie and Sister Liu Guo are getting married during the National Day holiday, so we should give them a big red envelope."

"it is good."

"..."

October 8th, Wednesday, the first workday of October.

After Liao Ruifeng entered the ward area of ​​the sanatorium, many people greeted him, saying, "Professor Liao."

"Good morning, Professor Liao..."

Liao Ruifeng felt particularly uncomfortable and quickly replied, "Director Dai. Director Zhou."

The people who called him were Dai Zhongyin, associate chief physician of hepatobiliary surgery, and Zhou Xiao, associate chief physician of hand surgery. Liao Ruifeng used to be just a junior attending physician, and he would call the two of them "brother"...

"Professor Liao, your complexion is indeed different after the promotion and the completion of the training, isn't it?" Zhou Xiao mysteriously leaned in with his signature big head, smiling innocently.

Liao Ruifeng made slight progress in September, leaving the laboratory and undergoing nearly a month of spinal cord injury surgery with Fang Ziye.

Today, Liao Ruifeng is the second "top expert" besides Fang Ziye who can perform spinal cord injury surgery. So after Fang Ziye gave feedback to the sanatorium, he was immediately invited back to the sanatorium by Vice President Li Yongjun!
He was exceptionally appointed as an associate professor and became the concurrent 'executive deputy leader' of the neurosurgery and spinal surgery groups!
At the end of September, with Fang Ziye's support and the assistance of Professor Bi Weiqing from the Department of Neurosurgery and Professor Ning Xindong from the Department of Spinal Surgery, Liao Ruifeng led his team to successfully complete two cases of acupuncture microelectrode implantation for spinal cord injury, making him famous overnight and becoming a veritable "master"!
As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed in the world."

Starting in October, the spinal surgery team began recruiting cases of patients paralyzed due to spinal cord injury. Liao Ruifeng was in charge of managing the cases, and he had full authority to decide who to admit and who not to admit.

"Director Zhou, please don't make fun of me. I don't know anything about spinal surgery." Liao Ruifeng was well aware of his own limitations.

Although he is a specialist in spinal surgery, he is not actually that professional. The surgeries he can perform independently now are relatively routine ones such as single disc removal, disc fixation, and spinal dislocation.

Liao Ruifeng wouldn't dare to perform any surgery that was even slightly difficult, such as scoliosis.

The reason I have achieved my current status is because I took the second bite of the crab early!

"Professor Liao, you are too modest."

"So many people want to learn spinal cord injury surgery from Professor Fang, but only you, Professor Liao, have mastered it! You are now the second person in the world who can perform this procedure independently!!!" Zhou Xiao said clearly, feeling horrified himself.

Originality is unparalleled; the improvements brought about by scientific research are like a game-changer.

No matter what kind of professor or top expert you are, in the face of scientific research achievements, you're all just small fry!

After Liao Ruifeng started working in the clinic with Fang Ziye, he became increasingly cautious and humble: "Director Zhou, please don't mention it like that. I'm not Professor Fang."

"Compared to Professor Fang, I am at most just the tip of the iceberg, an ornament hanging on his leg hair."

"Speaking of setting up a stage solo, it's actually quite difficult; you'll need a professor's assistance!!!"

Liao Ruifeng can expose the spinal cord independently and perform acupuncture electrode puncture and bridging electrode implantation, but he is not yet proficient enough and can only be said to have barely met the standard.

Liao Ruifeng knew that his surgical skills were at most 80% of Fang Ziye's.

But everyone felt that this was enough, and many people considered it a 'god-like skill,' so he could only come over and 'lead the team' first!
As they were talking, Liao Ruifeng saw Professor Liang Yuan from the Department of Spinal Surgery and quickly went up to him: "Professor Liang."

"Professor Liao, good morning." Liang Yuan stroked his stubble and looked at Liao Ruifeng with exceptionally kind eyes.

"Professor Liang, please continue to call me Xiao Liao!" Liao Ruifeng said in a low voice.

“That’s not appropriate… Professor Liao, you’re the most sought-after person in our sanatorium. Our team can continue operating without you… but it can’t function without you!” Liang Yuan chuckled.

Liao Ruifeng shook his head vigorously: "Professor Liang, others may not understand me, but don't you understand me?"

"Please continue to call me Xiao Liao. If I had the same confidence as Professor Fang, you could call me Teacher Liao."

"But I'm not Professor Fang, so please don't flatter me to death."

"Those who have the foresight to seize opportunities and rise with the wind are easily brought down."

"I hope Professor Liang can give me a chance to calm down and continue to study diligently and delve deeper into the technical aspects of my major."

"I have also realized many of my shortcomings," Liao Ruifeng said.

Liao Ruifeng was promoted to associate professor shortly after being promoted to attending physician, which was like a child wielding a big knife, and Liao Ruifeng certainly experienced the thrill of it.

But once he reached that position and calmed down, Liao Ruifeng understood even more how difficult it was to lead a team.

A single, outstanding skill may be popular for a while, but it cannot last a lifetime.

If you want to be sincerely called Professor Liao for your whole life, you can't rely on 'shortcuts'; you still have to do your homework diligently and conquer others with your abilities.

Fang Ziye has already made a sample for him.

“That works too.” Liang Yuan didn’t want to overpraise Liao Ruifeng, but she felt that Liao Ruifeng’s personality had become much more mature and stable after following Fang Ziye for half a year.

"However, Liao Ruifeng, you don't need to be too reserved. In the sanatorium, the capable should do more and the ability should be the main factor."

"You need to have the right attitude towards learning, and you also need to know your place. With your current strength and ability, you deserve to be called Professor Liao!" Liang Yuan said firmly.

"Now that you're a professor, you need to be more mature."

Liao Ruifeng nodded slightly... (End of Chapter)
