Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 107 Important Nodes (Subscription Request)

Many times, Gong Yi was unwilling to admit that he was "misleading students" or that he was delaying Zhou Yanqing's future.

But when Zhou Yanqing returned from half a year of "training", his whole spirit and energy had changed nearly 180 degrees, which made Gong Yi, his teacher, both happy and disappointed.

"Master, I'll toast you." Zhou Yanqing stood up, picked up the glass, and bowed slightly.

Gong Yi did not stand up. There were only two of them here, so there was no need to be hypocritical. As a student, it was normal for Zhou Yanqing to be a little reserved.

After they both drank from their small cups, Zhou Yanqing sat down upright.

Gong Yi's eyelids flickered twice before he asked, "The graduation thesis you sent me has been revised by a very professional person, right?"

Zhou Yanqing noticed the Master's wording, which was that of a very professional person, nothing else.

With sweat forming in his palms, he nodded frankly, "Master, I am looking for someone to correct his mistakes, and I also want to avoid being criticized by you, so I just want to correct as many mistakes as possible."

Ning Zhu, Yu Yue and Liu Wanqing all gave Zhou Yanqing a detailed revision of his graduation thesis, but Professor Tan Zhongyu still found it difficult to find any possible "flaws" in it.

Although Gong Yi's professional title is chief physician, when it comes to academic attainments, Gong Yi pales in comparison with Ning Zhu, Liu Wanqing and others.

Gong Yi's expression gradually softened, and he pressed his right palm: "Relax, relax."

"You've already graduated, but you're still acting like a stiff student. That's not right."

"A man should act upright, sit upright, and walk straight!~"

"Master has always said the same thing. I will do my best to support you in your pursuit of a better future, and I will not hold you back or keep you by my side."

"When I sent you to Xiangya Hospital for training, Master had already made all the preparations. On the contrary, if you went to Xiangya Hospital but returned disappointed, I would be surprised."

As Gong Yi spoke, Zhou Yanqing poured the wine again.

Still have two small cups prepared for you to have a drink to enjoy.

"Remember to be more confident in the future. You look more handsome when you are confident than before." Gong Yi's expression became complicated, and then quickly relaxed into this sentence.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I also think that I am good-looking and a little handsome." Zhou Yanqing replied with a smile.

"Ah."

"When you come back to Heng City, I hope you can often come and have a drink with Master!~"

"..."

After Zhou Yanqing sent his master Gong Yi back to the community, he strolled on the sidewalk. After turning left and looking inside the community several times, Zhou Yanqing's mood suddenly became open-minded.

A good mentor and helpful friend.

The opportunities I, Zhou Yanqing, encountered were also quite good.

Now that the graduation thesis has been settled, Zhou Yanqing has to wait for the graduation defense and the final examination of the standardized training for resident physicians after the completion of the training.

The final examination is divided into two categories: theory and operation.

Zhou Yanqing did not need any special preparation for this test, because he had tried the test question bank, and the question bank on the Internet could achieve an accuracy rate of 90%. It would be unfair if he still could not pass it.

So Zhou Yanqing edited a long message for Gong Yi.

Mainly I want to report a few things. First, I need to go home. I was not at home during the Chinese New Year and I expect to be back in a week.

Second, I still have some free time before graduation, and I will guide my junior colleagues more, whether it is clinical operations or scientific research.

Third, I defended my thesis closely with other students in the department, followed the teachers' arrangements, and did not think about defending in advance.

Fourth, I will not leave Heng City until late June...

Things have to be done with instructions, and responses have their own logic and arrangements. This was Zhou Yanqing's biggest experience when he was studying at Xiangya Hospital.

Never wait passively, make a certain plan for your life first.

If this plan is contrary to the team's plan, go and ask the teacher which one should be abandoned.

If there is no contradiction, you can arrange your own life trajectory very leisurely.

Even after graduation, you can quickly integrate into a new team. If there is no new team, then start building your own team, starting from applying for a project independently, step by step, with your own plans, active and passive, coordinating various conflicts! ~
"Okay!" Gong Yi was just like Zhou Yanqing's 'opponent'. When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy is strong, I am weak!
Gong Yi's estrangement also made Zhou Yanqing feel a warm current.

When making a choice, someone always has to take a step back first. Otherwise, if Gong Yi deliberately tries to please, win over, and play the emotional card when he comes back this time, it will be even more difficult for Zhou Yanqing to respond.

Therefore, in this process of choosing between "master and apprentice", Gong Yi, as a teacher, first chose the most advantageous "master and apprentice in name". They were together as a master and apprentice, but finally went their separate ways and had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Zhou Yanqing walked back to the dormitory, started packing his luggage, and rushed home.

……

Time is like water.

Half a month passed in a flash.

This point in time was just before being rejected by the 'Empress Dowager', so Zhou Yanqing enjoyed extremely high 'courtesy'.

Eat whatever you want, do whatever you want, and do whatever you want with your father.

Therefore, on April 16, after Zhou Yanqing saw the dissatisfaction of Empress Dowager Liang Yue, he immediately decided to move out of the "Imperial Palace" to avoid becoming a thorn in Liang Yue's eyes.

When leaving home, Zhou Yanqing carried a nylon bag in addition to the suitcase.

Inside was a cured pork leg.

There were also some "specialties" that his parents had sent to Heng City long before Zhou Yanqing left home, just waiting for Zhou Yanqing to pick them up.

"Dad, Mom, let's go back." Zhou Yanqing waved to them.

But Lao Zhou and Lao Liang did not move.

They all knew that once Zhou Yanqing left this time, it would probably be New Year's Day again when he came back.

After graduation, Zhou Yanqing will rush to Shashi as soon as possible!
After the urban-rural bus that Zhou Yanqing was riding started, his parents walked back reluctantly, looking back every few steps. But in the end, the driver, who was not a relative, made a sharp turn and left his parents behind a cement box.

Zhou Yanqing retracted his head.

But in the car, I couldn't help but call my parents.

Just as Zhou Yanqing expected, Liang Yue started nagging less than two minutes after they left. She cooked porridge for a full half hour before hanging up the phone.

After arriving in the county town, Zhou Yanqing got on a private car directly to Heng City.

The time for this bus can be booked in advance. There are many people going to Heng City from the county, so basically you can leave at the appointed time.

Zhou Yanqing also explained his whereabouts to the group his grandfather and his maternal grandfather were in respectively. After he said he was going to study again, he simply hung up the phone and looked out the window.

The unfamiliar scenery is receding at different speeds, and new scenery keeps coming one after another.

Zhou Yanqing also knew that he was getting further and further away from home.

However, Zhou Yanqing did not feel reluctant to leave. In his hometown, what Zhou Yanqing saw was not beautiful scenery, nor particularly enjoyable customs, but yellow mud, scorching sun, land, hardworking parents, and Liang Yue with tanned skin.

Zhou Yanqing has never enjoyed much fun on this land.

If possible, Zhou Yanqing would like to take the old couple out of that small mountain village.

Even though his parents were in the county town and he was in Shashi, Zhou Yanqing wanted his parents to get out of that yellow mud.

Before Zhou Yanqing went to high school in the county town, the dams of paddy fields, the ditches of vegetable fields, and the edges of vegetable plots seemed like alternative "cages" for his parents in Zhou Yanqing's eyes.

As if he was afraid that he could not afford to support Zhou Yanqing's studies, he got up early and worked late, and planted as much as he could every year.

If you can think of ways to make money, then think of ways to make money. My parents have grown tobacco, lilies, watermelons, peppers, and peanuts...

None of these are easy money, they are hard-earned money, including growing tobacco.

The road to the fields seemed to have become a shackle on their bodies and a shackle on Zhou Yanqing's heart.

Once upon a time, Zhou Yanqing dreamed that he could use his "superpowers" and "money power" to break this cage and cut off the shackles.

But even now, Zhou Yanqing, 26 years old, still does not have such ability, nor the courage to speak out.

Those who enjoy farming are called "leisurely and elegant", "exercising the body" and "restless", while those who make a living from farming are called "making a living"!

……

"I hope I can do it when I'm thirty." Zhou Yanqing murmured in a low voice.

But he quickly denied this statement.

The PhD program at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University is a four-year program. I am 30 years old, just graduated with a PhD, and can’t even afford to buy a house. How can I have the financial foundation?

"No, I'm thirty-two years old." Zhou Yanqing changed his statement and then changed it again.

Is it enough to save two years after graduation? With a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan for a hospital resident, and treating subordinates to meals and occasionally treating superiors to meals, you can only save 8,000 yuan at most, which is only about 100,000 yuan a year. With 200,000 yuan in two years, you are still not qualified to say such things.

"About 35 years old!" Zhou Yanqing's mouth was bitter.

Zhou Yanqing has a clear vision of the next nine years.

It was as if I was trapped in another layer of shackles, walking along a predetermined path.

At that time, my parents were already sixty years old!
Since they don't have a retirement salary, even if they don't retire, I will let them 'retire'.

So, this is fate, this is my fate and their fate!
unless?

During my doctoral studies, I was able to publish more papers and win scientific research awards, and also take on more "private work" to earn some money.

Zhou Yanqing looked out the window with a confused look in his eyes, but he felt that the road ahead was flat again.

In the midst of such anxiety, Zhou Yanqing was getting further and further away from Heng City.

……

In the orthopedic laboratory in the science and education building of Hengnan University.

"Brother, Brother Duan said that if you didn't go to Xiangya Hospital, Master's position in the department would be comparable to Director Dong, or even higher than Director Dong?"

Junior fellow students Fan Ziwei and Han Dongliang sat around Zhou Yanqing. While waiting for the WB to incubate the antibodies, Fan Ziwei handed Zhou Yanqing a cup of coffee with a slight smile on his face.

Heng City was already slightly hot in May. The central air conditioner above his head blew Zhou Yanqing's hair slightly. After pulling apart a few strands of hair, Zhou Yanqing said, "I'm going to get a haircut later. I haven't had my hair done in three months."

After saying that, Zhou Yanqing adjusted his hair to the right and said, "Don't listen to Duan Qilin's rumors. Whether I stay or not, it can't change the fact that Director Dong is the director of the ward."

"Why do I feel like this is what Guo Congyu said, not Duan Qilin?" Zhou Yanqing said, and looked at his junior brother Han Dongliang.

Han Dongliang is now at the end of his first year of graduate school and is no longer a freshman. After collecting the wrappers of the three straws, he went to throw away the garbage in an orderly manner.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Guo did say that."

Zhou Yanqing stared at Fan Ziwei and asked, "Why are you still spreading rumors?"

Fan Ziwei glanced at Han Dongliang and quickly explained: "Han Dongliang, you want to kill your senior brother so that you can be the only one in charge here, right?"

"You have to finish what you're saying!"

"This was originally a guess by Brother Zhu Qin, and was later turned into a statement by Brothers Guo Congyu and Duan Qilin."

"So, Brother Duan also said that."

After explaining this, Fan Ziwei said, "Brother, Brother Duan is very interesting. He is not the kind of rule-abiding academic bully that we used to understand."

Zhou Yanqing nodded and said, "I know this. I can see it too."

"In the beginning, Duan Qilin was relatively low-key because he was unfamiliar with everyone. After everyone got to know each other, he was in control of the basic rhythm."

"Right?"

Fan Ziwei's eyes narrowed, his face full of shock: "Brother, how did you know? Have you ever been to the department?"

Zhou Yanqing smiled mysteriously when he heard this.

In Xiangya Hospital, among the masters, Tian Chao and Lin Hua are the only ones who have basically taken control of the initiative.

Among the residents, Dr. Yu Yue holds the initiative and forms a big circle.

Including the attending physician, the chief resident Ning Zhu is the core of the circle. Others can only revolve around Ning Zhu, rather than Ning Zhu revolving around others.

This is called active use of resources, a multi-party circulation circle, and it is an active aura that many outstanding students from prestigious universities will develop.

If you don't have such awareness, such ability, or even such experience, you can only revolve around others.

Of course, you can also choose not to surround it, no one forces you.

However, the real initiative is what you think is what others tell you to do or force you to do.

Instead, someone asks you, what do you need to do? What do you want to do? I will help you!
The real and more proactive awareness is, what do you want to do next? What do you need to do to get a promotion and a raise? At this stage, we will serve you, and you just need to help a little in other aspects.

Can you refuse?
Anyone with a sound brain would not refuse.

People with mental problems cannot fit into this circle, so there is no question of being rejected or not.

"Nothing, I just know that Brother Duan Qilin must be a very capable person. He has strong professional operation ability, strong scientific research ability, good academic qualifications, and can integrate into the atmosphere of everyone."

"If he doesn't control the overall situation, who will?"

"Just like the jokes on the Internet, if now, the fairy sister stood in front of you and said she wanted to marry you, if you looked in your heart, would you really refuse?" Zhou Yanqing asked a rhetorical question.

If the two junior brothers can understand this question, Zhou Yanqing will say more.

If they can't figure it out, Zhou Yanqing won't give them any promises.
