Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 127 The Great God Visits (Subscription Request)

When Zhou Yanqing saw Chen Yu, Chen Yu was queuing at the door of the hot pot restaurant.

Chen Yu wore a long down jacket today, paired with a dark half-length skirt that reached her ankles.

Chen Yu sat quietly at the queue door, taking out his cell phone to check from time to time.

When Zhou Yanqing got out of the car and approached her, Chen Yu was tying her hair with the white hairband on her left wrist.

"Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the road, so we're a little later than expected..." Zhou Yanqing said.

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just got here not long ago, and there are eight numbers ahead of me. I guess I'll have to wait a while."

The area next to Chen Yu was already filled with people waiting in line, so Zhou Yanqing could only stand next to Chen Yu and wait.

During the long waiting process, the two did not have much communication.

However, after entering the store and being seated at a relatively remote table for two, Chen Yu started to talk. While taking off her coat, she asked, "Doctor Zhou, did I disturb your experimental arrangements?"

"No, no. If I have any plans, I will tell you directly." Zhou Yanqing shook his head and took off his windbreaker.

“Chen Yu, please call me by my name from now on. It’s quite weird to always call me Teacher Chen and Doctor Zhou.” Zhou Yanqing said as he sat down and started scanning the code to place an order.

Chen Yu carefully folded her coat and put it in the clothes basket, while gathering her skirt and sitting down: "Okay."

Chen Yu's inner lining is a light white tight shirt.

"Chen Yu, do you have any recommendations? I'm not very familiar with the dishes here."

"Or you can be more direct?" Zhou Yanqing handed over the phone.

"The potato chips, duck blood, crispy tripe and beef here are all pretty good. You can take a look at the other dishes." Chen Yu might have been talking about his favorite dishes, or he might have been talking about the signature dish.

After Zhou Yanqing pointed them out one by one, he said, "You don't have any other dietary restrictions, right? For example, mutton?"

"No. I can eat them all." Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

After the order was placed, Chen Yu began to ask Zhou Yanqing about some past events, such as why he studied for his undergraduate degree in Shashi but went to Hengda for his master's degree.

"I failed the re-examination for the postgraduate entrance examination, so I applied for transfer. I went wherever I could study. In the end, I returned to my hometown," Zhou Yanqing explained.

"Oh, that's it."

"I heard that the retest for the postgraduate entrance exam is very difficult, and there is more or less some water in it. Wasn't it a hot topic last year?"

"What they say is that if your parents are in college, no matter how many points you get in the college entrance examination, as long as you go to college, you can get a bachelor's degree certificate from the school in the end." Chen Yu comforted.

Zhou Yanqing explained, "It's possible, but ordinary people can get in, too. I also have a classmate who got into the Xiangya Department when he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination during his undergraduate studies."

……

When saying goodbye to Chen Yu, Zhou Yanqing was sure of one thing: Chen Yu probably didn't just want to find a companion for dinner and chat.

Many of the questions she asked were relatively private and had a certain degree of purpose.

"Dr. Zhou, let's have dinner together again next time we have the chance." Chen Yu said this when her taxi was about to arrive.

"Didn't we agree that it's not called a profession?" Zhou Yanqing touched his nose.

"Dr. Zhou, this proves that you are exploiting me! Bye~" After Chen Yu opened the car door, he waved at Zhou Yanqing.

After getting in the car, Zhou Yanqing watched the other party leave.

After Chen Yu got in the car, he responded to Zhou Yanqing relatively proactively: "Zhou Yanqing, I think you have a pretty good personality."

“Maybe we can look everywhere.”

Zhou Yanqing looked at the message and narrowed his eyes slightly: "I think you are pretty good too."

"While I was studying for my doctorate and working in the future, I would be relatively busy. My initial plan was to look for a job after I graduated with my doctorate."

"Of course, if you don't mind, I'll schedule my time as well."

When you meet a girl through a blind date, you don’t need to expect to fall in love at first sight, or just have that heart-pounding feeling.

It's okay as long as we get along well. Zhou Yanqing also thinks Chen Yu is okay.

Just make do with it for now.

After all, if you like it, don't leave it blank even if you make the wrong choice.

……

But after replying to the message like this, Zhou Yanqing actually felt that chatting with Chen Yu was much more awkward than before.

Zhou Yanqing had no idea how to chat with the other party.

It’s not good to be too cold, but it’s not good to be too cold either. So what topics should we talk about?

Getting along with people is indeed much more difficult than getting along with cells.

Chen Yu probably didn't know what to say, so the two of them just chatted nonsense.

……

In the evening, half past ten.

While Zhou Yanqing was lying on the bed and chatting with Chen Yu, Huang Yiming next door was reading literature seriously.

"I'm going to take a call!" After seeing the incoming call from Senior Brother Liu Wanqing, Zhou Yanqing sent a message to Chen Yu and then chose to answer the call.

"Brother Liu, what's the matter so late?"

Liu Wanqing thought carefully for a moment and then said, "Yanqing, Master has invited Mr. Gu from Huashan Hospital to come and perform a teaching operation and a teaching lecture."

"Academician Gu responded tonight, and the date is set for this weekend."

"Yanqing, do you have any plans? Master hopes that you can join the stage and show the elegance of our hospital's young doctors."

Liu Wanqing's words were rather obscure, but he was actually saying that he hoped you could help the young people in our hospital to look cool.

"This weekend?"

"Okay!~"

"It just so happens that I can do some processing on the cells in my laboratory tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Zhou Yanqing agreed as soon as he heard it.

I can refuse the idea of ​​having dinner with Chen Yu, but this kind of normal communication and exchange within the department must not be missed.

Academician Gu from Huashan Hospital is the only academician in hand surgery.

Many hospitals across the country are probably inviting him to give teaching lectures. It must have taken a lot of effort for Professor Tan to invite him.

Zhou Yanqing naturally wanted to go and pay a visit.

"Okay, that's good. I'll report to Master."

"The people who will be on stage at that time will be Master, Ning Zhu, Yu Yue and you. I guess Academician Gu will also bring one or two assistants personally. It will be up to you whether to go on stage or not." "It will also be a good thing to take a close look at the operations performed by our predecessors," said Liu Wanqing.

"Okay, thank you, senior brother." Zhou Yanqing thanked him.

"You're welcome, brother. That's it for now. Go to bed early." Liu Wanqing hung up the phone on his own initiative.

After Liu Wanqing hung up the phone, Zhou Yanqing's mind was slightly disturbed.

Academician Gu from Huashan Hospital is coming, which is definitely a good thing, but Zhou Yanqing is not sure whether the other party remembers him.

What if you ask yourself why you didn’t go to Huashan?
Maybe I was overthinking it. I'm just an ordinary PhD. Huashan Hospital has more PhDs than masters every year. How could they remember a small fry like me?

On Thursday, after Zhou Yanqing finished all the experiments he had arranged, he disposed of the corresponding cells.

Those that need to be subcultured should be subcultured, and those that need to be frozen should be frozen.

Zhou Yanqing was busy until 12:30 in the morning.

When I returned to the dormitory, Chen Yu sent me a message at 7pm and 9pm respectively: Are you there? Haven't you replied yet?
There is no more content.

Zhou Yanqing’s first reaction was that having a girlfriend seemed to be an extra “trouble”, but adhering to the principle of respect, Zhou Yanqing took some photos of the laboratory in the early morning.

"I was doing surgery before, and it was inconvenient to carry my phone with me. I've just finished it now."

After Zhou Yanqing returned to the dormitory, he quickly washed up, washed his inner clothes, and then climbed into bed at 1:20 in the morning.

However, Zhou Yanqing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He just stared at the ceiling for more than half an hour before finally falling asleep.

……

On Friday afternoon, after Zhou Yanqing finished his afternoon class, he rushed to Xiangya Hospital and found that everyone in the department and group was there.

They were discussing in great detail the case of the teaching surgery that would be performed tomorrow.

Zhou Yanqing's intrusion in a white coat did not cause any discomfort. Tan Zhongyu only paused for two seconds and continued, "We must explain clearly to the patient and his family. This time we have invited Professor Gu from Huashan Hospital, who is a leading figure in hand surgery."

"Professor Gu is very experienced in treating brachial plexus injuries. If the prognosis of Professor Gu's surgery is poor, then his condition will remain the same no matter where he goes."

"Even the Jishuitan Hospital in Kyoto may not be able to match the quality of surgeries performed by Professor Gu..."

At the same time, Professor Tan Zhongyu also arranged for the anesthesia department and the operating room nursing department, and asked the people he trusted most to cooperate.

This is a big matter in the department, but it cannot be properly accomplished by just the people in the department. It still requires assistance from other departments.

This kind of ceremony was much more formal than the one when Zhou Yanqing was at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hengda University and invited professors from Xiangya Hospital or the Second Hospital for consultation on surgery.

The preoperative discussion, preoperative summary, and every result of the preoperative examination were carefully considered, which took a full two hours, after confirming that there were no problems.

Tan Zhongyu also personally instructed: "Zhou Yanqing, you must come to the department early tomorrow morning to prepare the patient's armpit skin and mark the affected limb."

"Okay, Master!" Zhou Yanqing nodded while standing aside.

Tan Zhongyu then looked at Ning Zhu and said, "Ning Zhu, you must review all the patient's signed documents tomorrow. No documents should be left out, and the backup informed consent form for the surgery must also be prepared."

"This patient may need a nerve transplant, but it's just a backup plan and won't be used. But when it's needed, it must be used as soon as possible."

Ning Zhu also nodded: "Okay."

"Liu Wanqing, you will be responsible for picking up Professor Gu and his team at the airport this morning. Their plane will land at 9:20."

"When the time comes, ask Professor Gu and the others if they want to have breakfast. If they do, take them to the hotel for a buffet breakfast."

"If they want to eat the special Shashi rice noodles, they can come to the one we often go to next to the hospital. The taste is a little lighter."

"Huang Xianming, you will go directly to the operating room at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Make sure the circulating nurse and Professor Chi from the anesthesiology department are on duty. And make an appointment with them for the anesthesia time, which will start at 9:30 in the morning!"

"The surgery will start at 10:30 in the morning. For the corresponding equipment packages, ask the equipment supply department. You need two sets for the operation, and at least one spare set!"

"The consumables to be used during the operation are also carefully checked with the circulating nurses to avoid having to wait for a long time during the operation, which would delay the progress of the operation."

"Also, Ning Zhu is responsible for notifying the junior doctors in Professor Ding's group and Professor Du that those who can attend the afternoon teaching lecture should come. If it is inconvenient for you to come, please explain the reason."

"No absence for personal matters."

"It's not easy to invite people to this lecture. They are students of our department. We have secured resources for them, so they must come to learn!"

"As for other aspects, Professor Huang and I will make the arrangements as appropriate." Tan Zhongyu gave instructions to many people and many things in succession.

Everyone nodded and confirmed their tasks.

Tan Zhongyu then said, "Zhou Yanqing, come with me to my office. I have something to tell you."

Everyone turned to look at Zhou Yanqing, their eyes flashing with envy.

This kind of opportunity to barely show up in front of Professor Gu is rare. If Zhou Yanqing can gain his favor, his future promotion will be at least 20% easier.

That's at least.

"Okay, Master!" Zhou Yanqing nodded and followed Tan Zhongyu.

At the same time, Zhou Yanqing was also unable to calm down.

Is this the charm of a big boss?
Professor Tan Zhongyu invited the other party to give lectures and teach surgery, so every detail must be taken into consideration.

After entering the office, Tan Zhongyu calmly instructed Zhou Yanqing: "Yanqing, don't worry, boil some water first, and we will talk slowly today."

"Make a pot of tea."

Zhou Yanqing immediately ran to get water and wash the teapot.

By the time Zhou Yanqing had finished doing all this, Tan Zhongyu had already lit the 'Hezi' in his hand, which was obviously an upgrade from the last time.

"Master." Zhou Yanqing sat carefully beside him and watched Tan Zhongyu puffing away.

"Yanqing, you still need to pay attention to these few issues tomorrow."

"First, you cannot overstep your authority and take over the operation. You can only start when Professor Gu and I tell you to do it. If we don't tell you, you will just be an assistant."

"We may not be excellent, but we can be without rules," said Tan Zhongyu.

"Okay, Master. That's for sure." Zhou Yanqing laughed.

Unless one is out of his mind, he would not overstep his authority and rush to perform surgery.

Not to mention that Professor Gu was here, even if there were no outsiders, Zhou Yanqing would never do such a thing.

"The second thing is, if, I mean if, Professor Gu recognizes you and asks you why you don't go to Huashan Hospital for a Ph.D., what are you going to do?" asked Tan Zhongyu.

There was a chill in Zhou Yanqing's eyes.

Tan Zhongyu was not simply asking this question, but was testing himself on whether he had thought about these detailed issues thoroughly in the past few days.

Zhou Yanqing just organized his words a little and gave the standard answer: "Master, I am from Hunan Province, and I will probably work in Hunan Province in the future. Our hospital is relatively close to home, so it is convenient for me to take care of my parents nearby."
