Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 94 The Courage to Stand Up (Subscription Request)

Zhou Yanqing has been thinking about a question since a few days ago, which is what he lacked and what he lost.

It was not until he walked out of the Shashi airport and took the return subway that Zhou Yanqing made some bold guesses:

There is an old Chinese saying: If you kneel for too long, you will lose the courage to stand up.

Compared with Duan Qilin, what he lacked was initiative.

When Duan Qilin encounters a problem, he will think about how to solve the problem and achieve a win-win situation.

So after seeing that his ability surpassed his, Duan Qilin sought other ways, thinking of sending himself to a better option, while he went to the place he wanted to go.

Whether it is useful or not is another matter, but at least Duan Qilin is taking the initiative to find a solution.

Compared to Duan Qilin, my own initiative is actually more "passive".

Zhou Yanqing is not sure whether this answer is accurate, it is just his speculation.

No one told Zhou Yanqing whether this answer was correct.

Zhou Yanqing is already an adult, and adults need to be responsible for their own future and experiences.

In this world, all past experiences, whether good or bad, will leave more or less traces on our bodies. No matter how hard we try to cover them up, they can only make the traces fade.

Naturally, Zhou Yanqing got what he originally wanted.

PhD admission offer!

If you can force your way through the special professional channel, Huashan Hospital will give you a doctoral admission letter and allow you to apply for more subsidies. The rules are exactly the same as Zhou Yanqing knew.

"That's it for now."

"A person cannot earn money beyond his cognitive scope, nor can he get opportunities beyond his cognitive scope." Zhou Yanqing sat on the subway and put the matter aside for the time being.

In any case, the final result is not bad, and it does not mean that you will not pass the assessment because your performance is not good enough.

It is a special channel, and after passing through it, you will enjoy all the privileges. Why should you worry so much about gains and losses?

After returning to the rented house, Zhou Yanqing took a shower first and then rubbed his face.

Zhou Yanqing first sent a message to Ning Zhu, the hospital director, stating that he had arrived in Shashi and would be able to go to work as usual tomorrow, and then he had another video chat with his parents!

This time, Zhou Yanqing paid special attention to the content of his parents' conversation and found that his father and mother would patiently explain every detail of the problem, no matter how boring the questions Zhou Yanqing asked were.

Even when Zhou Yanqing asked about the distance between the walnut tree in front of his house and the redwood tree next door, Old Zhou went over to measure it.

After he came back, he said, "Little Stone, our Zhou family has a doctor!"

"Dad, I was just asking casually, why did you go out? It's so cold outside?" Zhou Yanqing felt a little guilty.

He actually just wanted to know the difference between his parents and others.

Zhou Hongshan smiled and said, "You have to be serious when talking to a doctor!"

"Although your mother and I are not well educated and can't talk to you about other things, don't talk nonsense. If you don't understand, just do the experiment. Isn't that what you taught me?"

"The distance is 3.67 to 3.68 meters!"

Liang Yue was a little jealous when she heard this: "What do you mean by Old Zhou Family? So, if I marry you, even my mother's family won't count?"

"Thank goodness my brother transferred two thousand yuan to me."

"Then can we add your Liang family? We are talking about sons, why do you bring up so many things?"

"Besides, my brother-in-law transferred money to me, but you are just conceited. Look at me, do you think I should show it off?" Zhou Hongshan started to quarrel with a smile.

The old couple argued for a few sentences before turning back to look at Zhou Yanqing.

"Xiao Shitou, your takeaway hasn't arrived yet? Isn't it a bit unhealthy to eat spicy hotpot right after you got back?" Mother Liang Yue was a little worried.

Zhou Yanqing drank the remaining mineral water in one gulp: "Mom, you don't know, I was starving during these few days in the Magic City."

"On your day off, you ordered braised chicken with rice and it tasted sweet, can you believe it?"

"What kind of rice is this?" Liang Yue asked, not quite sure what braised chicken was.

Zhou Yanqing: "Anyway, it's just stewed chicken with sugar..."

Liang Yue: "Then how do we eat it..."

Zhou Hongshan: "Others think it's inedible because you put chili pepper in it?"

"..."

I hung up the video and had diarrhea.

Zhou Yanqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he touched his belly and slowly walked out.

It has to be said that Zhou Yanqing's stomach in Hunan Province couldn't handle the braised chicken unearthed in Shashi.

It’s not that Zhou Yanqing can’t stand the spiciness, but there may be high-tech that Zhou Yanqing can’t imagine.

Ning Zhu's reply arrived again, and Zhou Yanqing leaned his butt against the sink. After reading the message, he replied: "Brother Zhu, I haven't got the result yet. How can it be so fast?"

"Before it is announced, I can't be completely sure." "Brother Zhu, did the master reveal something to you? Please tell me."

First of all, no matter who asked Professor Tan Zhongyu to go to Hengda Hospital, he did take a liking to me and was quite proactive in showing his goodwill.

After coming to Xiangya Hospital, everything Zhou Yanqing encountered was within his comprehension range. But when he went to Huashan Hospital, Zhou Yanqing really felt that his brain circuits were not enough.

Maybe my ability to understand is really insufficient.

"Professor Tan didn't say anything, I just asked you in private. Don't be too nervous."

"If you are free, come to the department and eat some barbecue skewers with me?" Ning Zhu did not treat Zhou Yanqing as an outsider. After getting off the plane today, he planned to let Zhou Yanqing stay in the department.

Although Zhou Yanqing was still holding his slightly aching stomach, he agreed.

The meal was taken in the resident chief’s office. On the small table inside was a bottle of iced Fatty Happy Water given by the merchant.

The grilled skewers were standard pork belly with ham, beef, butter and chicken feet, wrapped in tin foil. When Zhou Yanqing arrived, they were still steaming!

"Coke or Sprite? Choose one first? Let's talk about your re-examination process." Ning Zhu sat down and greeted Zhou Yanqing.

Zhou Yanqing was surprised when he heard this: "Ah?"

Ning Zhu said, "It's okay, just chatting casually. I'm actually just curious about what kind of people can get into this top hospital."

"To be honest, I went to Huashan when I was studying for my doctorate, but I was eliminated very quickly. Later, I passed the doctoral examination of the People's Hospital affiliated to Hanshi University. Naturally, I felt that home was better."

Zhou Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, and sat down opposite Ning Zhu, picking up a string of cigarettes and saying, "Brother Zhu, have you taken the Huashan exam before?"

Ning Zhu stiffened his body: "Why? Doesn't it look like it?"

"No, no, Brother Zhu."

Zhou Yanqing quickly shook his head: "It's just that you never mentioned it, Brother Zhu. Otherwise, I would definitely ask you in advance."

Ning Zhu was already considered a leader among his peers, but he failed to pass the doctoral re-examination at Huashan Hospital.

"I went there again when I was looking for a job. I had a chance to stay, but I asked about the housing prices nearby and left without hesitation."

"After thinking it over, I think Shashi is more comfortable. The rent for a house here for over 2,000 yuan is at least four times the price in Shanghai."

"For the same area, the price of a house may have to increase five or six times."

"But the salary can't increase that much." Ning Zhu opened the Coke and clinked drinks with Zhou Yanqing.

Ning Zhu had never done this before.

Ning Zhu seemed to be a little more polite to him, not to a deep degree, but there was some meaning in that regard.

"Brother Zhu, your doctoral studies must have been very hard, right?" Zhou Yanqing asked after taking a sip of his drink.

Studying for a PhD and finding a job are two different things.

A PhD from Xiangya Hospital may not be able to stay in Xiangya Hospital. Similarly, most PhDs from Huashan Hospital cannot stay in the hospital. Only a very small number of outstanding ones can get a place to stay.

After all, studying for a doctorate is to improve your academic qualifications. There is not much difference between having one more student or one less student in a department, but the difference between having one more employee or one less employee is huge.

Zhou Yanqing is now almost able to secure a doctorate in a certain place, so he has to move his line of sight a few steps further.

Ning Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Instead of working hard, it's better to be exhausted like a dog. No, it should be more exhausting than a dog."

"If you just want to get a PhD so that you can get more money when you find a job, it's not difficult. You just need to go to the lab every day and study the professional knowledge seriously."

"But if you still want to be more or less ambitious, then the normal time investment is definitely not enough."

"Most research groups have distinctions between sub-projects, and there are differences in ability between students. How much resources you can get depends on your ability."

“This kind of resource is about the same as clinical operation opportunities.”

At this point, Ning Zhu said: "Work harder, Yanqing, and try to get a place in the hospital or something!~"

"Thank you for your encouragement, Brother Zhu. I also need you to give me more opportunities."

"I'll toast to you." Zhou Yanqing raised the small bottle of Sprite.

……

Sleeping on the upper bunk in the doctor's lounge of Xiangya Hospital, Zhou Yanqing still felt vaguely that he was less energetic now than when he was an undergraduate.

But there is no way, all the benefits come from confidence.

This is a real world. What you can show to others is yourself at that moment. There is no reason for others to read your past experiences from beginning to end.

But fortunately, it’s still early and everything is still in time.

Opportunities are never given by others, but you have to fight for them yourself.

Zhou Yanqing thought about it for a long time before he figured it out. Perhaps this interview seemed a bit ridiculous, but in fact what the examiners wanted to assess was how well you utilized existing resources and authority.

If you don't use the things I give you, and you don't use the opportunities I give you, then why should we give you so many opportunities?
This is very different from what I learned in the hospital and from my teachers when I was in Hengda Affiliated High School.

If I have to summarize it, this is an alternative way of standing up.

Rather than a 'technical upstart'!
