Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 406: A Plan That Will Benefit Future Generations and Catching an Adulterer
Shen Wenhua is a layman in scientific research.

The ability to become a leader in the Beijing Gene Research Institute is not based on real talent or knowledge, but on political speculation.

The special environment in recent years has created many people like him who have no abilities and can only shout slogans.

He arrived at the Beijing Genetic Research Institute at the same time as Director Feng. Before coming, he was full of ambition to do something big.

Unfortunately, most people in this unit are scientific researchers and are not interested in his theories.

and so.

Although he is considered a powerful figure in the institute, not many people follow him sincerely.

Just now, he was the one who said that he wanted to save the money for later use.

He was ignored by everyone at that time, which made him angry.

Later, when Director Feng asked Wang Mengde for his opinion alone, his dissatisfaction reached its peak.

In addition, Wang Mengde said a lot of words that he couldn't understand, so he prepared to find an opportunity to show his presence.

After a little thought, he found a problem.

That is, Wang Mengde said so much but did not say how to solve the problem.

then.

When Director Feng praised the "Human Genome" project, he questioned:
“Comrade Wang Mengde, I also think your genome project is very good, but what we are discussing today is how to use the funds allocated by the higher authorities as quickly as possible.

Therefore, you should perfect your genome project later and report it to the director and superiors."

After saying this, he glanced around at the other leaders present.

In the past two months, since he entered the Beijing Gene Research Institute, he has been actively working.

I want to turn the research institute into a political institution like other institutions outside.

But these people were all focused on research and had no interest in his proposal at all.

Director Feng in particular not only does not support his work, but also creates obstacles or makes excuses.

This made Shen Wenhua, who wanted to make a career, a little discouraged.

Before the meeting today, he saw Director Feng personally go to the gate to greet Wang Mengde. This kind of differential treatment made him very unhappy.

After all, in terms of level, he and Wang Mengde are on par with each other.

Therefore, he was holding back his energy and wanted to strike a blow to the other party in order to establish his authority.

As for Wang Mengde’s achievements and his status in the eyes of his superiors, they were not within his consideration.

"Deputy Director Shen and Deputy Director Wang mentioned that the Human Genome Project is the best project.

As long as our institute reports this project, the higher authorities will definitely agree, and then this money can naturally be used as the start-up capital for the project.

Moreover, not only can the money be spent, but it can also be used to ask for more money from the higher-ups.”

At this time, Liu Shuwei, who was sitting at the back, couldn't help but speak.

He is the head of several projects and had the honor of attending this meeting.

Seeing that Shen Wenhua was questioning the person he admired most, he took the initiative to explain.

When he first opened his mouth, he felt a little nervous. After all, the other party was the deputy director, and if he spoke in public, it might seem like he was committing an insubordination.

However, after making eye contact with Director Feng who was sitting in the main seat, and seeing the appreciation and encouragement in the director's eyes, he felt relieved.

He turned around and saw Shen Wenhua wanted to say something, then he explained:

“As for the deployment of personnel, I personally think that is not a problem.

This "Human Genome Project" is a huge project.

It involves interdisciplinary technology and a huge number of people.

As for the time span, it will take at least 20 to 30 years, even with an optimistic estimate, to see success.

Therefore, this plan cannot be completed overnight or independently by a single unit.

The higher-level authorities will certainly make overall arrangements and coordinate multiple units, and even other departments to participate in this plan.

As the first organization to propose this plan, the Beijing Gene Research Institute will have an advantage in this plan in the future.”

In fact, in this situation, most of the people here are smart and can think of one or two things without me saying anything.

He explained this to Shen Wenhua alone.

After saying this, Deputy Director Shen felt a little embarrassed when he saw that no one around him looked surprised.

However, seeing Wang Mengde's half-smile, he quickly stopped the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He understood that in terms of professional skills and knowledge, he was a layman and could not win the argument with the other party.

So, I plan to stop doing it this time and find an opportunity to show my presence later.

As for Liu Shuwei, who had just explained to him, he also held a grudge against him.

Next to him, Wang Mengde sneered in his heart at this uneducated man who only knew how to play politics.

It's because I don't come here often that this clown thinks I have a good temper.

It seems that we have to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Next, most of the people present, including Director Feng, were excitedly asking questions to Wang Mengde.

They were all very curious about the Human Genome Project.

Everyone has countless problems, and most of them seem simple to Wang Mengde.

He patiently answered our questions one by one. Fortunately, we were all smart people with a strong foundation, and we understood many of them immediately.

Only Shen Wenhua lowered his head silently, saying nothing, pretending to write and draw in his notebook.

Near noon, the meeting, which was originally scheduled to last an hour, lasted a full three and a half hours.

If it weren't for the fact that it was lunchtime and everyone was hungry, the meeting would have continued.

After everyone who was still reluctant to leave had left, Director Feng smiled and took Wang Mengde to the cafeteria.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, let's have lunch together. I can talk to you again."

"Director, I just happen to have some ideas, let me report them to you."

"Hahaha, we're just chatting, there's no need to mention the word report."

Director Feng is a smart man. He knows that if he wants to make further progress in the short term, Wang Mengde’s help is indispensable.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of producing results, there is a huge difference between having or not having the other party's guidance.

He has been in the institute for about three months, and during this time, he has finally gained a brief understanding of the institute's situation.

It is clearly known that many of the institute’s previous achievements are related to Wang Mengde.

In particular, those world-class achievements were achieved one by one under his leadership and guidance.

And the process is very quick.

In addition, many of the hundreds of scientific researchers have received his guidance.

Therefore, on the basis of no conflict of interest, he paid special attention and gave Wang Mengde enough face.

Sure enough, there is a reward for every effort.

At one meeting, he got what he had always dreamed of.

The name "Human Genome Project" made him extremely excited as soon as he heard it.

He had a hunch that once this plan was implemented, it would have great significance and benefits for both him and the Institute of Genetics.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, when are you going to report to your superiors on the 'Human Genome Project' you just mentioned?"

"Director, I have been thinking about this plan for a while, but because it involves many issues, I need many people in the institute to work with me to complete the application report. According to my estimation, since everyone has their own urgent work and can only have time after get off work or on weekends, it will take at least a month."

Wang Mengde took a bite of the steamed bun, thought for a while and then said.

As a key unit of the health and family planning department, the Beijing Gene Research Institute has received a lot of the large amounts of materials handed over by the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Therefore, the food here is much better than that in other units.

Not to mention anything else, in a six-day work week, I can eat meat for two meals.

Of course, the proportion of meat in meat dishes is definitely not as much as that at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital.

"It'll take a month!"

Director Feng hesitated for a moment before saying:
“It does take a long time.

So, I plan to accompany you to report this matter face to face with your superiors in the near future.

Just a brief explanation of the situation is all that's needed. It's estimated to take half a day. Which day are you free?"

If it was ten days or eight days, he could wait and delay, but a month was indeed too long.

Therefore, he planned to make a brief report to the higher authorities first.

"Director, I have a critically ill foreign patient to treat at Guang'anmen Hospital tomorrow. Can you see me the day after tomorrow?"

Wang Mengde said.

"Okay, then let's temporarily schedule it for later. I'll talk to the higher authorities in the afternoon. If there are any changes to the time, I'll let you know."

Director Feng agreed readily.

in the afternoon.

After returning to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wang Mengde first went to Pu's office. The two chatted for a while, and then went to President Lu's office together.

He first gave a brief report on the affairs at the Beijing Genetic Research Institute.

Dean Lu didn't take it seriously at first, as he had encountered temporary funding from higher authorities before.

Many research projects initiated by Wang Mengde before have enjoyed this treatment.

But when Wang Mengde talked about the "Human Genome Project", his face changed.

Although President Lu is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he does not reject Western medicine.

On the contrary, after becoming the dean of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, he actively promoted the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.

He also took the lead in learning Western medicine.

Although he was very busy, he was only interested in learning for a few days and rested for a few days.

But he also has some knowledge of Western medicine.

Especially because of Wang Mengde, he has always paid more attention to the Genetic Research Institute and has a lot of knowledge about genes.

It is because of this understanding that we realize how huge this plan is.

It can be said that considering the current number of scientific researchers in China, it would take a long time to accomplish this task even if the whole country were to work together.

The material resources and money spent are immeasurable.

Of course, once a breakthrough is achieved, the benefits it brings will also be disruptive to medicine.

As for other subjects, it is definitely of great help.

By then, I am afraid that the impact and influence on traditional Chinese medicine will be very great.

But he changed his mind and realized that this process would take at least thirty to fifty years to produce results, so his brows relaxed again.

Who can predict what will happen in the future?

Perhaps in thirty or fifty years, Wang Mengde will have grown into a great master who has no predecessors and no successors.

"Meng De, do you need to spend more time working at the Gene Research Institute?"

Because there were no outsiders present, Dean Lu followed Mr. Pu and directly called him Meng De.

“Dean, after this plan is successfully submitted, I will definitely participate more in the early stages. After all, we don’t have many talented people in our country.

When they have more knowledge, I can focus most of my energy on this.”

Wang Mengde explained.

He had no doubt at all whether this plan could be passed.

Anyone with foresight can understand that although the investment is large, the returns are also huge.

Moreover, if China does not take the lead in conducting such research, once foreign developed countries take the lead in conducting research, I am afraid that China will fall behind step by step and be controlled by others.

"Well, the plan you proposed is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, and will be of great benefit to future generations. I certainly cannot stop you.

By the way, this plan is probably impossible to complete by the Beijing Gene Research Institute alone. It must be coordinated by the superiors and involve many other units to carry out the research together.

Fortunately, our research institute has many talented people who can join this program."

Dean Lu understood that the human genome project proposed by Wang Mengde could not be stopped by one individual.

This is a plan that will allow China to take several steps ahead in this field.

So he decided.

Since we can't stop it, we might as well join in and let the Chinese Medicine Research Institute profit from it.

"Dean, once the higher authorities confirm that this plan is going to be implemented, I will recommend some people to participate."

Wang Mengde understood what he meant.

Beside him, Mr. Pu was also thinking about something.

Although some of his old friends were physically unable to participate in this plan, each of them definitely had disciples.

It seems that I also had a chat with them.

He had originally planned to hand over these resources and connections to his most outstanding disciple in a few years, but the situation changed too quickly.

It might be a good thing to prepare in advance now.

After coming out of President Lu’s office and sending Mr. Pu back, Wang Mengde immediately started to deal with his own affairs.

He has to take half a day off the day after tomorrow, as a lot of work needs to be arranged in advance.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry too much about the intensive care unit now.

There are dozens of doctors there, all of whom are experienced and highly skilled.

With his selfless teaching, most difficult and complicated cases can be handled, and he will only intervene in a few particularly difficult cases or for big clients.

As for the work of the department, you only need to grasp the general direction.

Now the internal medicine department is run by him as solid as an iron barrel.

Only by sitting in the clinic several times a week will you devote more energy.

There was no other way. His students and the dozen or so doctors who came for further studies all needed more guidance from him.

It's about seven o'clock in the evening.

Wang Mengde then returned to his home in Nanluoguxiang.

Ran Xiaomei always saved food for him.

At the dining table, he ate his food with big mouthfuls, while He Shengnan sat beside him, sewing baby clothes and telling him about things in the courtyard.

"Meng De, in the evening, a street official led people to the backyard to catch an adulterer."
