Chapter 126: Chapter 124: Shocking! The Unveiling Ceremony of the National Research Center
"Your paper is already taking shape?"
Shen Guofeng clearly couldn’t believe it.
"The new equipment just got to City First Hospital, and you already have results?"
Shen Guofeng even started to wonder if his own lab had bad feng shui.
"Heh heh, Professor, this is all thanks to your excellent judgment. Wu Ting practically walked me through this topic. Even now, it feels a bit surreal."
"Professor, you have no idea. To help me understand fluorescent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, Wu Ting spent a whole day giving me special training just on the cholecystectomy procedure."
"I was so naive back then. I honestly thought he was just helping me fit in with the emergency surgery team at City First Hospital."
"Looking back now, he probably already had the whole thing figured out from our very first conversation about my doctoral thesis... He’s seriously amazing."
"Professor, I haven’t let you down! After the unveiling ceremony, I just need to accumulate enough surgical cases, run a controlled study, and do the statistical analysis, and my paper will be done."
"Once the paper is written, I’ll need you to review it, Professor."
"Professor, I’ll give you a little sneak peek: in my acknowledgments, I’m going to include Wu Ting. He’s now the doctor I admire second-most in the whole world."
"As for number one, that’s my professor, of course! *[Sticks-out-tongue emoji]*"
Looking at Yan Xi’s messages, Shen Guofeng found himself looking forward to the unveiling ceremony as well.
’This Wu Ting... he’s truly remarkable.’
’In no time at all, he helped Yan Xi sort out her PhD thesis.’
Shen Guofeng thought for a moment, then sent Yan Xi a reply:
"I am very much looking forward to it. Once your thesis project is mature, our research center will officially start performing fluorescent laparoscopic cholecystectomies. I will bring the doctors from my department to observe, learn, and exchange knowledge—and to cheer you on."
"You are the young doctor I have the highest hopes for. *[Encouraging emoji]*"
"As for the young doctor I have the second-highest hopes for, that would be Wu Ting."
Seeing her professor’s reply, Yan Xi sent back:
"Tsk tsk tsk! *[’Men are such liars’ emoji]*"
...
...
Time flew by.
The day of the unveiling ceremony for the Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology Research Center finally arrived at Fan City First Hospital!
The ceremony was held in the conference room on the sixth floor of the emergency department building at Fan City First Hospital.
In attendance at the unveiling ceremony were Dean Sun, head of Fan City First Hospital; Vice Dean Tang; Vice Dean Liu; Professor Ma Mengchao, Director of General Surgery at Jiuhua Hospital; Professor Jin Yu from Xianglin City Xuanshang University Affiliated Hospital; Professor Shen Guofeng, Director of the Emergency Department at Jinggang University Affiliated First Hospital; Shen Xiaofei, Director of Hepatobiliary Surgery; and from City First Hospital, Huo Yun, Cai Qi, and others.
As Fan City’s first high-caliber research center for laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology, special invitations were sent to reporters from Jin Province Satellite TV’s news channel and the Fan City TV Station to film the event and conduct interviews.
Professor Ma Mengchao delivered a speech at the unveiling ceremony, offering his congratulations on the center’s establishment:
"Following the research center’s establishment, Jiuhua Hospital, Haijin Port Hospital, and Saint An Hospital will all lend their active support. We will strengthen exchanges and cooperation in all areas, solidify our foundations, and pioneer innovation..."
"We also hope that all members of the relevant departments at City First Hospital will see this research center as the new standard. Use this opportunity, this unveiling, to begin a three-phase development process. The ultimate goal is to build a high-level research center that integrates medical care, scientific research, and education—one whose influence will extend across the Yangtze River Delta and lead the entire nation."
"These three institutions will also dispatch teams for regular academic exchanges. Simultaneously, we will assign our sharpest young physicians to this center to incubate new research projects and develop new Surgical Techniques, continually raising the standards of medical service and technology."
"Together, we will intensify our efforts in building this research center. We will strive to reach new heights and achieve new breakthroughs in talent cultivation, scientific research, the application of our findings, and overall discipline development within the field of laparoscopic technology!"
"Through this new model of cross-regional cooperation, we will also strengthen regional integration, raising the bar for clinical care and academic achievement. This will ultimately benefit countless patients and help safeguard the health of the people of Fan City, Jin Province, and the entire nation!"
...
Professor Ma, with the grand vision and presence befitting a future academician, delivered a speech that left everyone in the room feeling impassioned and inspired.
Reporters from both the provincial and city television stations recorded the entire speech.
After Professor Ma’s speech, Dean Sun took the stage to share his thoughts:
"First, I want to congratulate our own Fan City First Hospital for receiving such a rare opportunity. This represents the trust placed in us by the professors from Union, Haijin Port Hospital, and Saint An Hospital. It is an honor for City First Hospital, but more importantly, it is a responsibility that now rests on our shoulders!"
"Going forward, our hospital will commit fully to providing excellent medical services. We will work to make this collaborative platform a true and powerful force, driving our disciplines to achieve exponential growth. We will inject new vitality into enhancing the laparoscopic treatment and technological innovation capabilities of the Yangtze River Delta and the entire nation!"
...
After Dean Sun concluded his remarks, upon the recommendation and insistence of Professor Ma, Professor Shen, Professor Jin, and others, a special arrangement was made for Wu Ting, the director of the research center, to take the stage and speak on behalf of all the center’s medical personnel.
Wu Ting was both surprised and flattered by this, and he was grateful for Professor Ma’s thoughtful arrangement.
Originally, with the exception of Dean Tang, the other deans had not been in favor of Wu Ting serving as the research center’s director. They had only relented due to the persistence of Professor Ma, Professor Shen, and Professor Jin.
