Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 130: Discipline Leader Seedlings (Subscription Request)
"Yanqing, Professor Gu talked to me about this before."

"The moment Professor Gu saw your operational results in the retest, he was actually moved. He thought that you have a very good talent for operational skills and have the potential to become a leader in the discipline."

"However, your subsequent re-examination performance was a bit disappointing." Professor Tan Zhongyu walked towards the parking lot while smoking a cigarette, his tone calm in the smoke.

This calm tone made Zhou Yanqing stunned——

He stopped and looked at Tan Zhongyu.

Tan Zhongyu took another puff, and the smoke flowed up into the air, bypassing his nostrils and dissipating in the air: "But the starting point of the hand surgery department of Huashan Hospital is very high, so the academic leader they need is not someone who is simply good at operation."

"What Huashan Hospital needs is not for you to surpass others, but to surpass yourself. Therefore, in this case, in addition to operational talent, scientific research talent and personal ability cultivation are all indispensable."

"You can see the recruitment of Huashan Hospital every year. There are countless applicants, including outstanding talents from famous universities and even those who have studied abroad."

"The average level of those who finally stand out will be one degree higher than those recruited by our hospital."

"When recruiting, they usually only care about where you are, not how you got there. It doesn't matter whether you took a train, a bus, a plane, or are just a local."

Zhou Yanqing was shocked when he heard this: "Master, maybe I don't have such a fate."

A college will not teach you junior high and high school knowledge from scratch.

There is an entry threshold. If you can get in, you can get in. If you can't, even if you have talent, you will be rejected.

Perhaps, such a system is also applicable within Huashan Hospital.

What's more, Professor Gu had higher expectations for Zhou Yanqing at the time, so he would have put forward higher quality requirements for Zhou Yanqing.

As a doctoral student, no one has the time to teach you things like spirit, energy and vitality. These are things you should find ways to accumulate in the early stages.

Tan Zhongyu said: "It's okay, Professor Gu reminded me."

"Since you have such ability, I will send you out. Go to a higher and bigger platform to study."

"You should also enjoy what others deserve. There should be no flaws, loopholes, or dark corners in your cognition."

"Otherwise, I'd be treating a rough jade as a brick."

"I believe that it is not the limit of your ability to make our department a department that routinely handles diseases such as peripheral nerve injuries."

Tan Zhongyu's gentle voice made Zhou Yanqing feel warm.

Perhaps this is the difference between Professor Tan and his master Gong Yi.

Gong Yi knew his qualifications, but what he did was helpless instead of trying to find a way to solve the problem of resource imbalance. Finally, it was only after Professor Tan Zhongyu went to Heng City that Gong Yi thought of sending Zhou Yanqing to Xiangya Hospital.

And now, Professor Tan Zhongyu is directly planning his future.

"Master, I will try my best!" Zhou Yanqing was not overly modest when he was in private with Professor Tan Zhongyu.

Zhou Yanqing has now reached the threshold of transposition surgery, and further treatment of peripheral nerve damage should be a matter of five or six years.

Five or six years later, Zhou Yanqing was only in his early thirties, still the best age.

"This is the arrangement ahead, but as we walk, we still have to keep our feet on the ground and take one step at a time."

"You now have to do basic experiments as well."

"Because the pinnacle of basic scientific research in hand surgery is the application of neurotrophic factors and basic drugs to prevent tendon adhesion."

"If you want to do these experiments, it is definitely impossible without basic experimental skills and foundation."

"If you do better basic research, some simple hand surgery diseases can even be treated without surgery."

"Such as fasciitis, such as synovitis..." Tan Zhongyu said to Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing felt a chill in his heart, and after thinking about it seriously, he felt that it made sense.

If you don’t even master the methodology to prove whether a drug is good, how can you develop a drug?
If you can’t even pass high school math, can you call yourself a mathematician?

Zhou Yanqing no longer replied, but he already had an answer in his heart and a clearer direction for the future.

A PhD is not something that is prestigious; it is simply a process of further accumulating basic skills and the beginning of exploring the unknown.

Finally, if you want to be at the forefront of the world, you must use these methods to make your own voice heard to the world.

"Are you going back to the hospital or to school? I'll take you there." Tan Zhongyu threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray in the trash can.

Zhou Yanqing hurriedly shook his head: "Master, no need, I will take the subway directly back."

I felt guilty for driving Tan Zhongyu home without a driver's license. How great am I to let my teacher drive me home when I have achieved so much now?

If you really agree to it, it’s actually okay.

But this is not a good thing. One day, Tan Zhongyu might think of it and have some thoughts about me.

Just imagine, you work hard to cultivate someone who is not your son. Not only are you responsible for his teaching, but you are also responsible for his food and drink, and even have to send him home?

Even one's own son may not be able to do so well, let alone someone who is not related by blood.

The bond nowadays is not deep.

"Then come back with me. You can take the subway at the entrance of our community and talk to your master." Tan Zhongyu said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master." Zhou Yanqing got into the car and started searching for information about driving school registration.

I have to take some time to take the driving test. It would be best if I can get the license before the New Year.

There is still a chance in more than four months, Zhou Yanqing decided secretly.

"Yanqing, actually you showed your master today, and I'm very happy."

"The assistant that Professor Gu brought must be extraordinary. But I haven't seen how extraordinary he is. I can only be sure that he is slightly simpler than you." Tan Zhongyu began to rub the steering wheel as if he was saying a tongue twister.

"Master, that's not the case. Operation happens to be what I'm best at. If compared with others, my temporary accumulation is definitely not as good as his." Zhou Yanqing analyzed very calmly.

"What about professional operations?" asked Tan Zhongyu.

When Zhou Yanqing heard that Tan Zhongyu really wanted to ask, he told the truth: "Then maybe his accumulation in all aspects is not as good as mine?"

Zhou Yanqing is very confident in his current professional operational accumulation.

I am even more knowledgeable than Associate Professor Huang Xianming, and only a few steps away from being my master. Before I turn 30, I will definitely be as powerful as Professor Tan Zhongyu is now.

Don't think this is slow.

The fact that Professor Tan Zhongyu's abilities appeared in a 30-year-old young man was in itself an extremely terrifying thing.

This is an incredible miracle no matter where in the world!
"Haha!" Tan Zhongyu laughed, "Actually, I don't like other people bragging, but I like you bragging more. Maybe it's because you are usually more simple and honest."

"It's good to brag generously once in a while."

Zhou Yanqing blinked and said, "Master, I am telling the truth."

"I know you are telling the truth, but your truth also sounds like bragging, and this makes you sound more down-to-earth."

"I can now basically confirm that if no other great god comes unexpectedly, you will probably be the academic leader of our Hunan Province in ten years."

"You have to make your master proud and keep this position!" Tan Zhongyu didn't drink at night, and the wine he drank at noon had already worn off, but he was a little drunk when he spoke.

Zhou Yanqing smiled along.

He had rarely seen his master so happy. Perhaps ordinary happiness now could hardly make him happy?
……

After returning to the dormitory, Zhou Yanqing arranged and planned the experimental process and steps to be carried out on Sunday while sending a message to Chen Yu.

"There was only one. It's not easy to take photos of Academician Gu casually, otherwise it would seem disrespectful. I took the initiative to ask for a photo with him," Zhou Yanqing explained.

"He doesn't look like what I found online, but he seems more easygoing and his smile is a little stiff. In fact, Professor Gu is a very kind person."

"You are so awesome to be able to take a photo with the academician." Chen Yu said with a smile.

"I am taking advantage of my master's blessing, but today Professor Gu said..." Zhou Yanqing repeated that Professor Gu wanted him to go to Shanghai for exchange study.

After sending this message, Chen Yu remained silent for half an hour.

Zhou Yanqing noticed that her chat page kept showing that the other party was typing...

But there was no reply.

"This is great. The opportunity to study with an academician is something that ordinary people can't even ask for." Chen Yu said.

Zhou Yanqing just wrote down the subsequent experimental steps up to the cell transfection stage.

"I think so too, but this is just what Professor Gu said. It's not a foregone conclusion yet."

"But Chen Yu, if my master and Professor Gu can really reach an agreement, I will definitely go there to study for half a year to a year. Such an opportunity is hard to come by."

"If the opportunity is right in the future, I may go abroad before I graduate with my Ph.D." Zhou Yanqing laid out all his plans for the future.

Zhou Yanqing himself doesn’t know how to date, and he doesn’t know if it would be inappropriate or scary to tell Chen Yu about this directly.

But this is the fact, and Zhou Yanqing will not be swayed by Chen Yu's opinion.

One has to do something in his life. At least Zhou Yanqing feels that if he has the opportunity, he would definitely like to do more.

Today, my master Tan Zhongyu also made certain "plans" for my future. If I have the opportunity, I must work hard in that direction, right?
Who doesn't want to make a difference as long as their ability allows and without violating their principles?

And this action does not mean being rich or making a lot of money, but doing something real for the world, making yourself more fulfilled, and broadening your horizons about the world.

"Oh, you told me that basically all inpatients in your hospital need to have studied abroad, otherwise they will not be hired in principle."

Chen Yu continued, "But now, I know more formally that doctors and medical students are very busy and very enthusiastic."

"Zhou Yanqing, I'm actually very nervous right now, because I don't know if we are boyfriend and girlfriend. What you said made me a little flustered. I may need some time to calm down."

"Can we not talk about this topic for now?"

"How was the farm restaurant you ate at today?" Chen Yu changed the subject directly.

She had just told Zhou Yanqing on Wednesday that the two of them could give it a try, but on Friday Zhou Yanqing dropped a nuclear bomb on her. She really needed to think about it carefully.

Are you able to accept long-distance relationships and relationships across countries?

"It's OK, but the price is a bit high. I heard that Professor Tan spent more than 4,000 yuan when he paid the bill. Mainly because the dishes he ordered were very expensive."

"We brought our own drinks. For the two of us, it should cost around 600 or 700 yuan. This is considered a high-end restaurant, right?"

"The place we're having lunch at is relatively simple, and it should cost around 500 to 600 yuan for two people." After Zhou Yanqing finished his detailed reply, he looked at Chen Yu's message again.

Then he quoted Chen Yu's previous information: "Doctors and medical students are indeed very busy, but these are just experiences. My plans for my doctoral studies are not yet fixed. The only thing that is certain is that I will definitely come back in the future."

Chen Yu replied: "Didn't we agree not to talk about this topic first? Why are you bringing it up again? /smiley face"

"Of course, Zhou Yanqing, you are really excellent, that is for sure."

"I'm just afraid that if you become too outstanding, there will be a gap between us, and it will be difficult for us to communicate."

"I don't think I can do anything that doesn't require companionship and unconditional support, so I will make my own thoughts clear to you when the time comes."

"Okay!~"

Zhou Yanqing smiled and said, "I feel like we are reporting to our leader now, and this is not even a normal chat."

"Then let's chat normally?"

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu asked, changing the subject.

Zhou Yanqing took a picture of his notebook, which was filled with densely packed notes and various lines.

"I'm a liberal arts student and I'm just looking for trouble, but I think if you can buy some candy or snacks while you're working, it might be less boring."

“And a certain amount of dessert stimulation will make you more inspired.”

"This is what a writer friend of mine told me. I don't know if it's suitable for you." Chen Yu took the initiative to talk for a long time.

"Okay, I'll try it next time. I've only tried drinking coffee." Zhou Yanqing replied.

Tan Zhongyu suddenly sent a message: "Yanqing, I have secured some good opportunities for you, but this requires you to achieve certain results."

"Your master almost signed a military order to get these things. You can't let your master down! ~"

Zhou Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "Ah? Master? Military order?"

Zhou Yanqing was a little nervous about whether to make it so formal.

Besides, how long had it been since I got off the bus? Who did Tan Zhongyu go to find?
Are you so impatient?

"It's okay. Even if you can't do it, your master can handle it. You should take a rest first, and we can talk in detail when you are free." Professor Tan Zhongyu sent a voice message to end the topic.

Zhou Yanqing looked at the message in silence for a full five minutes before replying to Chen Yu: "My master just sent me a message, and we chatted for a while."

"Do you like snacks?" Zhou Yanqing also took the initiative to find the topic loophole left by Chen Yu and dived into it.
