Healing Doctor

Chapter 734, Question Nine: Have you considered staying in the country?

a few days later.

Lin Jiu easily persuaded Ji Xiang, who had absolutely no objection to Lin Jiu publishing an article in Radiology.

Lin Jiu even felt that Ji Xiang was simply not interested and didn't even need to add his name.

Ji Xiang gave Lin Jiu a list of doctors and nurses in the department.

He indeed didn't care about "Radiology" at all; he was just using a paper to smooth things over within the department.

Looking at Ji Xiang's youthful face, Lin Jiu was also somewhat dazed.

I put in a lot of effort when I published my first paper in Radiology.

The night the paper was published, I even had a small celebration.

But Ji Xiang was actually chatting about it with great interest, which Lin Jiu found unacceptable.

Lin Jiu knew he couldn't casually hand out papers from "Radiology," even to experts and professors hired by Massachusetts General Hospital.

The paper was sent to the journal Radiology, but it seemed to sink without a trace, making no ripple at all.

Lin Jiu was somewhat confused. He talked to his teacher, Tang Chenghua, on the phone for a long time before finally figuring out where the problem lay.

Ji Xiang's name was not mentioned in the article.

Lin Jiu didn't know what to say about this.

He went back and reviewed other papers and discovered a pattern—Ji Xiang's name was always listed as an author, regardless of whether the article was published quickly or not.

Could it be related to this?

Lin Jiu could only look for a topic to write a paper on again, and this topic could not be too sloppy; it needed to be something that Ji Xiang was interested in.

After figuring all this out, Lin Jiu became somewhat frantic.

Why would a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, a top expert who is about to have his own professional medical team, do such a thing!

fall!

But even if I lose my temper, things still need to be done.

Lin Jiuze is exceptionally capable. During an Achilles tendon surgery he performed with Ji Xiang, he finally discovered a key point and subsequently sought Ji Xiang's approval.

Moreover, Ji Xiang was quite interested in this.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, I'll write the article, and you'll be listed as the first author this time," Lin Jiuze said.

"Oh, Radiology." Ji Xiang gave a nonchalant "oh" to the first author, which made Lin Jiu feel somewhat awkward.

"Let's publish the article in Radiology."

Lin Jiu then said casually.

"The impact factor of Radiology is a bit low, and time is tight. I'll email the journal I want to publish in."

"..." Lin Jiu was a little angry.

Ji Xiang seems to be particularly good at showing off. "Radiology" is the top journal in radiology, and it is a leading figure in the field.

But in Ji Xiang's eyes, it became a nobody!

"Dr. Ji Xiang, which journal do you think should be published in?"

"I don't know either, I'll call and ask later."

Telephone!

Lin Jiu noticed this.

"How about we publish them together? I'm quite familiar with the Radiology section," Lin Jiu said casually while organizing the materials.

"Alright."

Ji Xiang didn't care at all.

With Ji Xiang's "permission," Lin Jiu finally seized the opportunity.

He immediately sent the article to Radiology.

A day later, Lin Jiu dialed Tang Chenghua's number.

"Teacher, what do you think are the differences between the two articles?" Lin Jiu asked directly, without mincing words.

"Nine..."

Tang Chenghua's voice was very soft; he only said one thing and then fell silent.

Lin Jiu thought he had misheard, and he was slightly taken aback.

The teacher must have something important to say. Based on Lin Jiu's understanding of the teacher, he knew very well that he hadn't misheard, but that something really had happened.

This is a big deal, so much so that even the teacher couldn't find the words to express it.

After a long silence, Tang Chenghua suddenly asked, "Jiuze, are you interested in staying in China?"

"???"

Lin Jiuze's head was filled with countless question marks.

Stay in the country?

When I called my teacher a few days ago, he urged me to hurry back home. After all, the job offer had been issued, and if I stayed in China for too long, others might covet it.

After all, the professor's appointment letter from Massachusetts General Hospital had just been issued, and the professor had put in a lot of effort for this matter.

Where there are people, there is a world of intrigue, and those Onsa and Indian doctors had long been eyeing this opportunity.

At less than 30 years old, I was able to receive a professorship at Massachusetts General Hospital, something countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

however,

Nowadays!

The teacher even tentatively asked if she could stay in the country.

Lin Jiu knew very well what this meant.

He fell silent for a moment, though he didn't say anything, his heart was in turmoil.

The teacher must have meant something by it.

"Nine, I just wanted to share an idea, think about it," Tang Chenghua said softly.

"Okay, teacher, what happened on your end? Is it something you can't say?"

What awaited Lin Jiuze was a deathly silence.

No answer is an answer, and Lin Jiu understood that.

"Okay, teacher, I'll think about it and get back to you in a week."

"Your manuscript, as the first author, was published three months later. It was already past the deadline. Everyone thought your perspective was novel and that it was an excellent paper among this year's submissions."

"And the most recent one?" Lin Jiu asked.

"Published in the latest issue, the first article."

"!!!"

Lin Jiu's thoughts were confirmed.

For a teacher to remain silent and for Radiology to change its layout, there must be some major event involved.

Although the layout doesn't involve data statistics or digital metrics like impact factors, it represents the magazine's attitude.

Ji Xiang is the first author of this article, and the layout should be used to express this stance.

Coupled with the teacher's clear change in attitude, Lin Jiu sensed something different.

Damn it!

Lin Jiu then pondered the matter seriously.

Back in his office, Lin Jiu had just stepped inside when he heard Zhao Zhe's voice.

"Xiao Ji, hospitals at higher levels really earn a lot! I didn't believe it before, thinking that hospitals at different levels were about the same."

"Oh, income?" Ji Xiang didn't care about that at all.

"Xiao Ji, you must be rich and not interested in how much you earn. I'm so envious," Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

"Having too much money can be a source of trouble."

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Everyone in the office was stunned.

Why didn't the person who said this get blown to pieces by a thunderbolt falling from the sky?

"I have a childhood friend who is about 7 or 8 years older than me. After graduation, he didn't go abroad to study, but instead started a business with his family's fund. He's been very troubled lately, and he called me a few days ago to talk about it for a long time."

"Huh? Did your business fail?" Zhao Zhe asked.

Children from wealthy families aren't afraid of squandering their inheritance, but they are afraid of starting their own businesses.

Wang Sicong's son lost 30 billion yuan in one go, while Qin Laoban's son only lost tens of millions of yuan when he crashed a car.

They're not even in the same league.

It's probably a failed business venture.
