Is there no limit to this doctor's skills?

Chapter 208 Hot Pot!

On the afternoon of December 14, Guo Ziyuan and Ding Xianqi pushed their suitcases out of Yushi North Station and headed to the South Square to hail a taxi.

Guo Ziyuan pushed two boxes with both hands and ran towards the yellow Ferrari.

After putting down all the boxes, Ding Xianqi looked at Guo Ziyuan with some curiosity: "Have you been to Yu City before?"

"You seem to know the directions quite well."

Guo Ziyuan actually came to Yushi 18 years ago, back when he was a tourist.

However, Yushi is a popular mountain town, and no one has stipulated that Guo Ziyuan cannot visit it in advance.

"Master... I've seen guides online."

"Where are you planning to take me for hot pot?" Guo Ziyuan asked with a smile, not nervous at all.

Ding Xianqi said irritably, "Let's go to the hotel first. I need to go over the PPT and the documents again!"

"The COA Orthopaedics Annual Meeting is not a small-scale provincial academic conference. Although I was able to apply for a booth, I also faced pressure from all sides."

"If any mistakes are made when answering the questions, it will truly be a disgrace to the Provincial People's Hospital in front of colleagues across the country."

Guo Ziyuan couldn't empathize with Ding Xianqi's pressure; he had never reached this point in his previous life.

His purpose in coming here was simple: to win awards, get money, eat hot pot, and attend lectures.

It's one thing to use your hands to take money, your mouth to eat hot pot, and your ears to listen to lectures.

"Master... Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. You need to be well-fed to have the energy to handle the details of the PPT."

As Guo Ziyuan was speaking, his phone rang again.

Guo Ziyuan picked it up and saw that it had crashed!

This is very Redmi.

Ding Xianqi glanced at Guo Ziyuan: "Why don't you get a new phone on the way? You're not without a salary now."

"This could cause problems."

In his previous life, Guo Ziyuan only switched to this old-style Redmi phone in 17.

Now, Guo Ziyuan feels that it should exit the historical stage ahead of schedule.

While restarting, he said, "I guess Professor Ning is still the one holding the reins."

"He's a professor, after all. Doesn't he know that learning methods are hard to replicate?"

"Everyone has different learning anchors, so their learning methods should naturally differ."

It's obvious that Professor Ning Sanlong was genuinely curious; after taking Guo Ziyuan's "learning methods," he was also pushing himself to learn them.

Guo Ziyuan could only remain speechless.

I have a control panel, so I can follow this path. How could you possibly succeed?

Teacher Ning?

Guo Ziyuan truly never expected that the reason he had previously set for driving technological improvement would become Ning Sanlong's "decree"!

Ding Xianqi wiggled his hips: "Is it really impossible to copy?"

Guo Ziyuan looked up with a slightly surprised expression and looked Ding Xianqi up and down.

Ding Xianqi felt a little nervous under the gaze: "I just asked casually."

Good technology is coveted and envied.

Others will also be curious about Guo Ziyuan's learning methods and try to replicate Guo Ziyuan's learning speed curve.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Yuelai International Convention Center." Ding Xianqi wasn't familiar with the local map either, so he could only say the hotel's name.

The driver knew Yue Lai, so he quickly nodded and stepped on the gas.

After watching Guo Ziyuan turn on the camera, Ding Xianqi sent a message to Professor Ning Sanlong.

"This year's COA will include a small project for young people, namely a skills competition for young physicians."

"There are several sub-venues, do you want to participate in all of them?" Ding Xianqi asked Guo Ziyuan.

Guo Ziyuan is here to receive an award; if you have the ability, the prize money can be accumulated.

Both the hospital and Ding Xianqi were happy that Guo Ziyuan could bring back more awards.

Wealth and fame, upright and honest, cannot be faked in the slightest.

"Trauma, hand surgery, and sports medicine."

Microsurgery.

"Master, I plan to participate in these four." Guo Ziyuan also had his own plans.

The first prize in one sub-venue is 60,000 yuan. If you can win the first prize in all four sub-venues, that's more than 200,000 yuan.

It seems that the prize money for these national competitions is tax-exempt.

Beautiful!

This salary is comparable to Guo Ziyuan's annual salary as an attending physician in his previous life before he took on surgery.

True academic geniuses can make money very quickly if they want to.

"Go for it! We've already contacted the organizing committee, and we'll ask them to give you the grand prize."

"They didn't agree..."

"Therefore, we must be fair." Ding Xianqi said, then couldn't help but laugh at himself.

The fact that Guo Ziyuan, that beast, participated in the competition is actually the biggest injustice.

Guo Ziyuan suddenly asked again, "Master, can I participate in both the postgraduate competition and the young physician competition?"

The postgraduate competition is limited to master's and doctoral students, while the young physician category is for those under 35 years old.

"Don't try to grab attention like that!"

"Xiao An is really obsessed with money, don't listen to her!" Ding Xianqi shook his head and refuted Guo Ziyuan's suggestion.

If you bring master's and doctoral students to the competition for those under 35, they won't feel like they're participating at all.

Therefore, the competition venues were divided into two tracks.

One is the medical track, and the other is the postgraduate track.

The prize money for the postgraduate track is a bit less: 1 for the first prize and 2 for the grand prize!

But that also shows how wealthy and powerful they are.

After all, there are more than one first prize and one grand prize winner...

For international conferences like COA, there are quite a few medical device companies willing to fund their projects, resulting in generous prize money.

"I was just asking casually." Guo Ziyuan had never participated in this kind of competition in his previous life.

Or rather, in his past life, he simply wasn't qualified to come.

Even if he was 34 or 35 years old and had excellent skills, he was only limited to prefecture-level cities.

Compared to the senior colleagues of the same age at the provincial hospital, there is still a gap.

Hubei Province wouldn't recommend you participate in any competition casually.

However, since Guo Ziyuan is currently a student, he is actually quite likely to qualify for the competition.

……

Upon arriving at their destination, Ding Xianqi actually went into the hotel.

The COA conference will hold its opening ceremony on the 15th.

Ding Xianqi will be sharing two lectures this time: one is an infection case from the Provincial People's Hospital, and the other is diabetic foot.

Both of the lecture slides must be prepared with utmost care and attention.

Ding Xianqi plans to order takeout.

Once Guo Ziyuan arrived at his destination, he was really relaxed and immediately called Wang Hai and his junior brother Liu Guanghui, who had flown to Yu City, and they went to eat hot pot together.

At the Lu Xiaozhang Hot Pot (Guanyinqiao) direct-operated store.

After Guo Ziyuan and Wang Hai sat down, their junior brother Liu Guanghui went to the front desk very proactively to ask for the free self-service "drinks".

Wang Hai stood with his arms crossed, looking at Guo Ziyuan: "Guo Ziyuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Who exactly blew on you?"

"Why don't you just give up being a perfectly good man?"

Wang Hai is saying that Guo Ziyuan is a pervert and has gone too far in showing off.

Guo Ziyuan had no time for jokes with Wang Hai: "Tell me properly, what exactly is Professor Ma Chuanfeng thinking?"

"Didn't he promise you? Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Wang Hai had been talking privately with Guo Ziyuan in the past few days, and they said that Ma Chuanfeng might not directly accept Wang Hai as a doctoral student.

In other words, Guo Ziyuan suggested that Wang Hai "slaughter pigs," which has now turned into a pig-slaughtering scam.

"How would I know?" Wang Hai sighed. He never blamed Guo Ziyuan.

He also knew that Guo Ziyuan's suggestion was for his own good.

Wang Hai himself also pushed himself infinitely closer to the bottom line of pursuing a doctorate through this path.

"Old Guo, I don't blame you!"

"If it weren't for this method, I don't think I would have waited until the teacher relented."

"It was just an accident. Maybe the person the teacher chose is more outstanding than me." Wang Hai shook his head.

"It's all fate."

Guo Ziyuan's suggestion to Wang Hai to raise pigs was a shortcut for a master's student to pursue a doctorate about 19 years later.

Guo Ziyuan thought this approach was feasible because Professor Ma Chuanfeng was working on a research project on steel plate materials at the time.

The reason it's not possible now is probably because Professor Ma Chuanfeng hasn't yet secured a relevant research grant, which is why such talent isn't needed.

Doctoral supervisors typically consider two factors when accepting students.

First, consider whether your research topic requires it, and whether your doctoral degree matches your project.

Second, the student's personal abilities.

Guo Ziyuan: "I'll find an opportunity in a couple of days to have a good talk with Professor Ma."

Wang Hai's heart skipped a beat: "Guo Ziyuan, don't."

"I definitely can't let you get hurt."

Whether or not I pursue a doctorate is my own business.

"Don't take yourself too seriously."

Although Guo Ziyuan has now taken special exams to pursue a doctorate or even find employment, he has only found a job, not achieved a meteoric rise in his career.

In terms of both social standing and influence, Professor Ma Chuanfeng could easily crush Guo Ziyuan.

Guo Ziyuan's overall performance was not even as good as that of the attending physician in the department.

However, even associate professors have to behave properly in front of Professor Ma. What makes you, Guo Ziyuan, think you can chat with Ma Chuanfeng?

The topic we're discussing now isn't about Guo Ziyuan choosing a supervisor for his doctoral studies.

Guo Ziyuan had long known that Professor Ma Chuanfeng was a very "realistic" person!

This is only natural, and his choice is not to wrong Wang Hai.

Guo Ziyuan said, "It's all up to people. I need to find out what happened."

Wang Hai scratched his head: "Guo Ziyuan, really, no."

"I'm really afraid that Teacher Ding will beat me to death."

"What if Professor Ma gets angry?"

Guo Ziyuan snapped his fingers in half: "Professor Ma is angry, but my advisor is here. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm just asking, would Professor Ma really lay a hand on me?"

"You should continue taking care of your animals for now..." Guo Ziyuan added.

Wang Hai's voice was a little hoarse: "Old Guo, it's not that I don't believe you, but will this really work?"

He has a master's degree, specifically in orthopedics.

His talent is quite good!

Previously, Wang Hai had always believed that he was more talented than Guo Ziyuan.

But Wang Hai still chose to trust his friend and went to "raise pigs" and "slaughter pigs"!

I won't be ashamed if I don't want to pursue a PhD.

However?

That's how powerful a doctoral supervisor is; in principle, he can choose whomever he wants!

Doctoral admissions are not conducted through a nationwide unified examination.

"If it's useless, I'll make it useful, okay?"

Guo Ziyuan glanced in Liu Guanghui's direction, his eyes hardening: "Really, believe me, you should continue to study animal testing techniques properly."

"It will definitely be of great use when the time comes!"

Wang Hai calmed down. The reason he joked around with Guo Ziyuan was because the two of them had a good relationship, but that didn't mean Wang Hai was a fool.

"Are you trying to get me into Professor Ding's research group?"

"I have this idea, but it's not completely confirmed yet!"

"Wang Hai, you have to believe me," Guo Ziyuan said.

"it is good."

"I believe it even if I don't want to." Wang Hai has no other choice now.

He is Ma Chuanfeng's student. This year, there are only two doctoral supervisors, An Luming and Ma Chuanfeng. Even Professor Chen Zhiyuan can't supervise doctoral students...

Even if Ding Xianqi is promoted to doctoral supervisor through special circumstances and gets a doctoral quota, there are only three quotas available.

Professor Chen Zhiyuan's two recent graduates are both top talents, Deng Guodong and Liu Xueqing, both of whom could easily outshine Wang Haichong.

It's definitely too late for Wang Hai now to compete with them in terms of articles and professional skills.

It's already December, and next year will be 16.

Therefore, Wang Hai had to find another way to become a special type of talent.

When the time comes, if their professors do not follow the conventional path in selecting doctoral candidates like Liu Xueqing, they will have to give the university an explanation!

We have enough qualified personnel for the diabetic foot research project!

The topic of diabetic foot is a new technology topic, and it can be considered a formal first, with no precedent.

Most research topics require detouring around this one.

If Ding Xianqi can successfully complete this research project, his research group alone could lead to the Provincial People's Hospital creating several special positions for him!

Not to mention a mere PhD.

The reason why the Provincial People's Hospital did not have such a "doctoral path" in the past was because it had never received such an absolutely brand-new and pioneering research topic.

Liu Guanghui brought over several bowls of sweet fermented rice balls: "Senior brother... these can help cool you down."

When Wang Hai saw Liu Guanghui return, he changed the subject: "Guanghui, you're awesome now, aren't you?"

"They published such a high-impact-factor paper without making a fuss."

"This paper alone should be enough for you to apply directly for a PhD, right?"

Liu Guanghui is a very reserved person: "There's a big element of luck involved."

"This paper was originally intended for my senior colleague Chong to pursue his doctorate, but he no longer needs it, so my supervisor just gave it to me."

Liu Guanghui really learned a lot from Guo Ziyuan: "Senior Brother Wang, you know that too."

"There are no geniuses in clinical medicine. I just happened to be on the seesaw of luck. My seniors' achievements were borne by me."

This is the hardship of clinical medicine, this is the hardship of scientific researchers. Only those with master's and doctoral degrees can truly understand the helplessness behind this statement!

In fact, Guo Ziyuan knew that the article was published entirely because of Liu Guanghui himself.

However, my junior brother is really too sensible; he matured even earlier than me.

In short, he openly and blatantly flattered Guo Ziyuan, leaving him no room for rebuttal.

"You learn very quickly, Guanghui." Guo Ziyuan tapped the table.

Liu Guanghui: "My senior brother and master taught by example, and they taught very well."

Guo Ziyuan raised his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. How much progress have you made on your current basic research project?"

"Have you spoken with Dr. Anyue privately?"

"If you can finalize things and finish the tender as soon as possible, please come to Yilan City to help."

The reason Guo Ziyuan didn't allow Ding Xianqi to easily remove Liu Guanghui's position was because Liu Guanghui now had the opportunity to apply for research projects on his own.

Although it's only a provincial-level research project!

But you should know that Liu Guanghui only has a master's degree!

Even for municipal hospitals, such as the First Hospital of Wuhan, the requirement for promotion to associate professor is only a provincial-level research project!

Many doctors at the Provincial People's Hospital are also unable to secure provincial-level research grants!

We definitely need to get the research grant, because it comes with research funding and we can get money from it.

Liu Guanghui had already secured a spot and gotten the research project, so he had to come and help out.

It would be absurd and disrespectful to colleagues worldwide to think that the study of diabetic foot could be easily completed by just three or five people.

Only laymen would think that way.

This shows absolute disrespect for the phrase "incurable disease".
