Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 212: Master's Appointment! (Subscribe)
September 9th, Thursday, Teachers’ Day.

Teachers' Day is a rather special holiday, especially for graduate students, a stage where the inheritance of knowledge between teachers and students is very important.

Even if one does not have a good relationship with the tutor, they will still send a bouquet of flowers to show their appreciation.

Fortunately, the seniors and teachers Zhou Yanqing met were pretty nice.

When Zhou Yanqing first came last year, he was a complete newbie and didn’t understand the rules here, so he accompanied us throughout the whole process.

But this year is a little different, Zhou Yanqing has been arranged to give gifts.

The gift-giving process must not be carried out within the department.

The shift handover is still the usual one, the ward rounds are still the normal ones, the surgeries that need to be scheduled are still scheduled, and when it is the surgery day, Professor Du Zhonghua still has to perform the surgery normally.

Of course, after checking the ward, sending the patient to surgery, and having conversations and signing documents are things that the junior colleagues who are professional master's students and are included in the regular training program have to do.

Brother Ning Zhu was on duty as the chief resident, so after the ward rounds, he went straight into the chief resident's office.

The prosperity outside and the so-called dinner parties have nothing to do with him.

Zhou Yanqing, Liu Wanqing and others quickly packed the gifts they had bought and also bought a bouquet of flowers.

Liu Wanqing gave a pen himself as a token of gratitude to his master Tan Zhongyu for his support after he joined Xiangya Hospital.

This is also normal. Liu Wanqing is a special student. After graduation, he was picked up from the workplace by Tan Zhongyu. It is very normal to give him a gift alone.

In ancient times, there was a saying that an apprentice had to work for three years to thank his master. Nowadays, people certainly would not work for their master for three years for nothing.

At about 11:30 in the morning, everyone arrived at the address sent by Tan Zhongyu and sat down at their seats.

Tan Zhongyu hasn't arrived yet. Those who want to smoke are smoking, those who want to chat are chatting, and those who want to add each other as friends are adding each other as friends.

This is the best time for new students to get to know their seniors.

This year's first-year doctoral student is Tian Chao. There are no academic doctoral students. The new first-year master's students include Chen Zan, a professional master, and Liao Weihang, an academic master.

The two 'senior brothers' Yu Yue and Deng Guanghui introduced them to the people in the group one by one.

Liu Wanqing has graduated and become a resident physician in the department, which means he is the superior of these doctors and masters, so he no longer serves as the "senior brother".

"Chen Zan, let me introduce you to Zhou Yanqing, the great master. You can call him brother or teacher in the future!" Yu Yue paused intentionally when introducing Zhou Yanqing.

Chen Zan entered the department for regular training in August, but Zhou Yanqing was studying animal experimental models in Shanghai in August and had never seen one.

After coming to Shashi, I followed Tan Zhongyu and thought about performing surgery. I went to the laboratory every day and we didn’t have the chance to meet many times.

During the teaching period, Chen Zan was new there and knew nothing. He stood in the back row and naturally had no chance to get to know others.

"Chen Zan, don't listen to Senior Brother Yu. We can call each other brothers or senior brothers and sisters." Zhou Yanqing stood up and said.

"Brother Qing, I'll call you brother then. Can I add you as a friend?"

"I've wanted to speak up many times, but you've always been too busy." Chen Zan is tall and thin, with fair skin and a handsome face. He is more of a stay-at-home type.

I just arrived, so I'm still quite shy.

"Of course!" Zhou Yanqing picked up his mobile phone and opened the QR code.

Yu Yue continued, "Chen Zan, if you can learn some basic skills from your senior brother Zhou, you will have no problem studying for a doctorate and staying in the hospital."

"This is a real thigh. I'm not lying to you, and this is not a commercial bragging."

Yu Yue's words were recognized by everyone.

Liu Wanqing said: "This is the truth. To be honest, it is all thanks to Yanqing that I was able to stay in the hospital!"

"Although it may not sound good to say it out loud, Director Lei complained about it right in front of me during the interview."

"He also threatened Master, telling him not to engage in any academic clique activities in the department."

As a result, some of his fellow junior fellows admired Zhou Yanqing even more.

When Zhou Yanqing heard this, he knew that his two senior brothers were trying to trick him and provoke a fight.

Teachers' Day is a special day, and it is also the only time when Tan Zhongyu allows everyone to drink.

At other times, don’t drink if you can avoid it.

How could Zhou Yanqing possibly handle so many junior fellow apprentices? He quickly said, "Let me make this clear. Whoever gives me a drink later, I will write down their name."

"If I haven't made a fool of myself, we won't have any contact for a year. What if I have made a fool of myself? Then we brothers will just have less contact with each other." Zhou Yanqing's tone was serious, and he didn't sound like he was joking.

However, what Zhou Yanqing didn't expect was that even Liu Wanqing took his joke seriously and quickly patted Yu Yue and left.

I didn't dare to say the second sentence.

The scene suddenly became silent.

Zhou Yanqing narrowed his eyes and said, "I was just joking!"

Liu Wanqing said: "Yanqing, you never joke, don't lie to me!"

"You didn't even listen to what the master said to you. Think about it yourself. What did you say that you didn't follow through on?"

Zhou Yanqing: “…”

Thinking back, it seems to be true.

Zhou Yanqing cherishes his learning opportunities very much, so every time he decides something, he will stick to it, no matter whether others advise him or not. As long as Zhou Yanqing thinks it is good for himself and does not harm others, he will stick to his own ideas.

Why not do something that does not harm others but benefits yourself?

Zhou Yanqing didn't expect that he was such a character in everyone's mind, and quickly explained: "Brother, I was really joking this time."

"Don't let me ruin the atmosphere."

"I'll be free for a while, okay?"

Liu Wanqing said quietly, "How can that be bad? You are the boss, you have the final say!"

To be honest, Liu Wanqing was not afraid of Ning Zhu's lowering of his eyebrows at all, but he was afraid that Zhou Yanqing would say something casually.

Ning Zhu often jokes, but Zhou Yanqing never jokes.

More modesty and prudence! ~
"What are you talking about?" Tan Zhongyu was in a good mood and actually came at 11:20.

After entering the door, he handed over the car keys and randomly pointed to two people: "Go to my trunk down there!"

Tian Chao and Zeng Hui, who were called, left their seats immediately and walked out of the box with thumps.

"Master, we are talking about the lumbar support cushion I bought for you. Master, you drive a lot!"

"This is a gift for all of us." Liu Wanqing expressed his opinion first, and then winked at Zhou Yanqing.

Tan Zhongyu didn't lack too many valuable things, but the students who did lacked them couldn't afford to give him anything.

Things that Tan Zhongyu doesn't have but are practical are the best gifts.

Zhou Yanqing picked up the gift box. It was a waist protector for driving a car, and it looked pretty good.

Tan Zhongyu said, "It's OK. Thank you. It's thoughtful."

"However, Yanqing has already passed the driving test. Next time we go out, he will be the one driving."

"Yanqing, your driver's license test took a bit long?"

Zhou Yanqing signed up in December last year, but only got his driver's license in July and has yet to drive.

"Master, this is not the case. I am afraid that I will let you down by feeding me."

"Think about it, we have been running around in the first half of the year, where do we have time to learn to drive?" Zhou Yanqing cried out in injustice. I originally wanted to concentrate on learning, but Master, since I came back from Kyoto, you have been taking me to the countryside to perform surgeries, how can I not follow you?

"I'll punish you with a drink later!~"

"You are nothing. You didn't even get a driver's license in advance. As your master, I will be your master and your teacher." Tan Zhongyu said with a double meaning.

"Okay, Master." Zhou Yanqing nodded in agreement.

Tan Zhongyu's preference for him can be said to be quite obvious.

The words "Teacher Zhou Yanqing" were almost written on his forehead. Not to mention outsiders, even his fellow disciples were a little jealous.

But I can’t be jealous!

Zhou Yanqing's excellence is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Liu Wanqing also handed the fountain pen he bought to Tan Zhongyu: "Master, I don't have anything good to give you, just thank you for your teachings."

"The more I learn, the more I respect your academic and professional knowledge. This is my little token of my appreciation."

The pen Liu Wanqing bought cost four figures, which was a bit expensive.

Pen, which means fountain pen, has another meaning in the academic world. If you give your pen to someone, it means you respect his academic work!
This gift was also well chosen.

"It's a bit expensive, right? Does your tooth hurt?" Tan Zhongyu joked.

Also took it.

Nowadays, fountain pens are rarely used, and most of the time they are used as signature pens.

Fountain pens are for collection.

"It hurts!" Liu Wanqing joked.

After a while, Tan Zhongyu sat in the main seat.

The position on his left is occupied by Huang Xianming. Huang Xianming’s mentor has retired. He is currently following Tan Zhongyu and can be regarded as the second boss in the group.

The left-hand position originally belonged to Ning Zhu, and the candidate was Yu Yue.

But today, Ning Zhu didn't come, so Zhou Yanqing, the "disobedient and unfilial" junior brother, was pushed forward.

Yu Yue also pushed Zhou Yanqing over, muttering, "Just go!"

"It's already this time, why are you still so polite in front of your family? If there were outsiders, I would go." Yu Yue replied.

Only then did Zhou Yanqing agree and sit next to Tan Zhongyu.

Tan Zhongyu turned around to look at his growing team and took a deep breath.

After having the door closed, he said with deep emotion: "My first student was called Chen Fangping. He was my master's student. At that time, my teacher was still in the department."

"However, Chen Fangping's family was not well off, so after graduation he returned to work at Changshi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital!"

"My second student is Ning Zhu, who is now the chief resident of the department. He is also the first student I brought up and stayed in our hospital."

"After Ning Zhu, there are three more people, Dou Xian, Zhu Qin, and Huang Mingliu."

"You may not have seen Dou Xian!"

Liu Wanqing raised his hand and said, "Master, I have met Senior Brother Dou."

Liu Wanqing graduated in his fourth year of doctoral studies. When he was in his first year of doctoral studies, Dou Xian was in his fourth year.

"Well, Dou Xian, Zhu Qin, and Huang Mingliu were all unable to stay in the hospital."

"It wasn't until you, Liu Wanqing, that I had two students in my group."

"It's a relationship between a master and a disciple, but the word fate actually has a time limit. Some relationships can last relatively long."

After Tan Zhongyu finished speaking, he shook his head again: "It's not that long, it's just a coincidence."

"When Chen Fangping, Ning Zhu and Dou Xian were studying for my master's degree, I was still young and not a doctoral supervisor, so Ning Zhu didn't have any books to study. Ning Zhu later went to study for a doctorate with Professor Du, so he can be considered as following me."

"Dou Xian, it was my first year as a doctoral supervisor, and I came back to study for a doctorate after graduation."

"It's not easy to come here step by step..."

Tan Zhongyu first reviewed the history of his school.

Then, he raised his voice again: "But now it's different. You are all lucky."

“Not only can I supervise PhD students at any time, I can also supervise student PhD students and set up my own postdoctoral mobile station.”

"If you want to read, you can keep reading."

"Also, Ning Zhu is now the chief resident. He usually takes good care of you, right?"

"This is the master's sect!"

"It's not that everyone has to become a school tycoon. It's only natural for brothers to develop feelings for each other and take care of each other."

"If we really encounter any problems in the future, these are the people who can help each other."

"Other people are either casual acquaintances or flattery. What kind of relationship can they develop?"

"Here, I would also like to commend Zhou Yanqing by name."

"Although you all say that I favor Zhou Yanqing, who among you knows how Zhou Yanqing came to be?" Tan Zhongyu then gave a brief account of Zhou Yanqing's resume.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
Zhou Yanqing actually ranked first in the preliminary examination for master's degree in Jishuitan, and then was eliminated?

Afterwards, Zhou Yanqing went through the transfer and went to Hengda Affiliated High School No. 1.

Zhou Yanqing has good qualifications, but due to delays for a long time, he has not been able to obtain top-level resources for cultivation, which has resulted in many years of wasted time.

Tan Zhongyu said: "So, whether it's Senior Brother Yanqing or Junior Brother Yanqing that you saw, they are not fully mature yet."

"Today, here, I want to express my stance to everyone."

"From now on, Yan Qing will be the leader of our group's clinical teaching, and Ning Zhu will be responsible for scientific research and teaching, and will be in charge of all matters within the group."

"I'm not flattering Zhou Yanqing. This is a benefit for you. If anyone doesn't listen to me or has any opinions, then with your IQ, you can go back to raising pigs!"

"No, Master, definitely not!" Yu Yue was the first to express his opinion.

It is a blessing and benefit for everyone that Zhou Yanqing can be in charge of clinical teaching.

Zhou Yanqing nodded when he heard this: "Thank you for your trust, Master. Thank you for your recognition, fellow disciples. I will do my best to do what you have asked me to do."

This is the atmosphere and composition of a large research group.

Although the person in charge of clinical teaching is only a nominal position, it means that Zhou Yanqing will be responsible for all clinical matters in the future and hold the power of life and death over many people.

Someone took the lead and started applauding.

Later, Tian Chao and his companions also arrived carrying wine boxes, one box of Maozi and another box of Jiugui.

Zhou Yanqing was stunned after watching it, and before he could say anything, Tan Zhongyu said, "Why are you just clapping? Pour the wine..."

The atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Today is Teacher's Day, a non-surgery day, and it is a day of celebration for the group.

Zhou Yanqing also went from being a junior master to the second core of Tan Zhongyu's team. It was a bit of an overstepping of authority, but it was also understandable.
