Chapter 1656: Chapter 1660: Life Matters More Than Pride! (First Update)
The incident happened so suddenly that the Queen found it a bit hard to accept.
At the beginning, the Queen actually thought Chen Cang was quite good.
He enthusiastically shared the surgery video he completed, allowing us to study it when we returned.
This unreserved attitude honestly increased Queen Eli’s goodwill exponentially.
Now...
Looking at this group of professors from the Royal Academy who seem to fail expectations, Queen Eli suddenly sighed, at a loss for words.
Besides sighing... What else could I do?
It’s just like in an exam hall where Chen Cang handed you the standard answers, and you claimed you couldn’t understand them?!
Fine, you can’t understand, can you at least copy it as it is?
But then...
You said you can’t even recognize the words and blamed it on being written in Chinese characters, stating that your native language is English and you can’t write it.
Alright, I’ll give you a magnifying glass, zoom in and copy slowly!
But once magnified, you said... it was cursive? The average person can’t manage it, plus it was Wang Xizhi’s style.
Damn it!
Even at one-eighth speed, you still can’t imitate it?
You claim it’s Chinese Kung Fu, plus chopstick skills, using Chinese acupuncture needles as weapons!
Why do you have so many excuses?
Honestly, at this moment, the Queen felt restless inside, thinking this batch of academicians is so damn hard to manage!
The empire of the British Empire had its peak, thanks to you.
William is resting quietly in the cabin next door, out of sight, out of mind.
The Queen also returned, looking at the prince, now full of regret!
"Philip, I now feel that we should award Professor Chen Cang with membership in the Royal Academy and a knighthood. What do you think?"
Philip was startled: "Didn’t you say he refused you?"
Queen Eli shook her head: "I now think... life is more important than face!"
"This bunch of academicians... is unreliable. On the contrary, I think Professor Chen is reliable."
Philip nodded: "Yes, Professor Chen is indeed impressive, actually... he didn’t refuse you."
Queen Eli smiled slightly: "I understand, he refused everyone."
"Perhaps, in the future, we should strengthen our collaboration with Professor Chen."
...
...
The arrival of the British Queen added some international flair to the Capital Emergency Center Hospital once more.
Even Director Wu Tongpu recently mixed in some English words during conversations.
Wu Tongpu was in a very good mood.
The Capital Emergency Center could be said to be his creation.
From an ordinary emergency center to the top emergency medicine hospital in the capital and now definitely in the top ten!
Especially in some subjects where research and clinical ratings had surpassed those of long-established major hospitals.
Looking at this prosperity through the window, Wu Tongpu couldn’t help but feel excited and somewhat sentimental.
After decades of ups and downs, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief now.
Another two years, he could retire.
It would be considered a perfect ending of his achievements.
Today, even the editor-in-chief of the "World Hospital" magazine came in person to interview Wu Tongpu.
What more could he ask for?!
"Old Wu, think about our batch, now you’re the one who’s doing the best, you should be content!"
Wu Tongpu gave a slight smile: "Content, of course content, one shouldn’t be too greedy."
Wu Tongpu seemed to be saying it for his friend, but actually, he was telling himself.
Deng Chengzhou put away the interview draft: "Okay, okay, business is over, let’s talk about personal matters."
Wu Tongpu smiled slightly; Deng Chengzhou was his old classmate, old friend. When they attended the hygiene and medicine class, the two always sat in the last two rows, finishing last in exams every time.
Wu Tongpu didn’t change careers entirely because he was fortunate.
During his internship, he met an enlightened teacher and mentor, Zhu Qian, who could be said to have changed Wu Tongpu’s life.
Transforming Wu Tongpu, someone who planned to change careers after an internship, into a medical student obsessed with surgery!
It was from then on that Wu Tongpu’s talent in surgery began to show.
From cardiovascular surgery to general surgery, and then to the nascent field of ENT surgery, Wu Tongpu’s life is legendary.
And this old classmate, Deng Chengzhou, was different from the sudden skill burst of Wu Tongpu.
Deng Chengzhou wasn’t engimatically interested in clinical work, always feeling what’s the future in studying clinical?
How many people can you save being a doctor all your life?
But doing research is different, discovering a new drug benefits countless people.
So later, Deng Chengzhou switched to research.
Then he transitioned smoothly to become an editor in some magazines, even staying at "The Lancet" for a long period, later jumping ship to "World Hospital" as the editor-in-chief.
He personally came for the task of interviewing Wu Tongpu.
And took the opportunity to entrust his son to this old classmate.
Wu Tongpu heard this and looked at the sharp and handsome young man in a neat suit with a British flair standing beside him. He smiled slightly: "This is Deng Ming, right? Good lad, much more handsome than your father was in his youth!"
Deng Ming nodded politely and smiled: "Hello, Uncle Wu."
Deng Chengzhou deliberately sternly said: "You should call him Director Wu."
"When you come to work, you can’t call him Uncle Wu."
Deng Chengzhou said: "Old Wu, I’m here also for personal matters regarding Deng Ming. His mom and I both don’t want him to stay abroad; we want him to come back home."
"He... is restless, has spent two years as a Médecins Sans Frontières doctor, been to Afghanistan, gone to South Africa. It’s really nerve-wracking."
"Though he’s restless, his professional knowledge is reliable, especially in emergency medicine. I’m recommending him, not out of nepotism but because he’s truly talented."
"You can let him work temporarily. If he fits, keep him, if not, I’ll not utter a single complaint."
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tongpu didn’t immediately agree.
Instead, he nodded, looked at Deng Ming, and asked, "Xiao Ming, what do you think?"
Deng Ming looked at Wu Tongpu and replied calmly: "I’ll go with Uncle Wu’s arrangement."
Hearing this, Wu Tongpu couldn’t help but grow fond of Deng Ming.
After all, young men who have achieved something abroad tend to be impatient.
Deng Chengzhou sighed: "This lad is not young anymore, he’s 31, I don’t want him marrying a foreigner, better to come back, work steadily, get married, and have kids!"
"Look, our emergency center is a great platform, this year I see it entering the world’s top 100 hospitals. The subject rankings are also good."
"The platform is good, come and work well, also learn from your Uncle Wu, and become an academician in the future!"
Hearing Deng Chengzhou’s words, Wu Tongpu couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.
But after thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of something and directly said:
"Hmm, how about this, you can report to the Sixth Emergency Department."
Deng Ming nodded: "Okay! Thank you, Uncle Wu."
