Capítulo 1682: Chapter 1686: I’m Not Leaving!
Zhang Mu looked at the audience below, suddenly hesitating for a moment.
He thought he had received the news first.
Unexpectedly, everyone already knew.
Well, such big news, Zhang Mu nodded in relief, “Yes, now that we have such a platform, and the conditions they offer are also very good, alleviating our worries, I think… it’s a good choice!”
“Now that we have a base, we have a future!”
As soon as these words were said, the large conference room fell silent instantly!
It seemed…
Something was off!
Because it took less than 3 seconds to go from the previous hustle and bustle to now being utterly quiet.
How was this possible!
Zhang Mu saw this scene and was also a bit stunned.
He looked at the secretary in confusion and frowned, signaling: Did I say something wrong?
“Director… What are you talking about?”
“What base? What platform?”
“Yeah, is someone taking us in?”
“Really?”
“Director, what exactly has happened!”
…
Seeing the people below whispering to each other, looking puzzled and baffled, Zhang Mu at this moment felt he must have fallen ill.
What on earth had happened?
Could it be… what these little rascals were talking about wasn’t the same topic he was on about?
No matter how slow Zhang Mu was, he guessed he and the others were probably not discussing the same thing!
He quickly said, “Everyone, please be quiet for a moment, I need to ask a few questions!”
Hearing this, the crowd quieted down.
Zhang Mu then continued to ask, “Xiao Li, tell me, what were you just talking about?”
“What’s so amazing about Professor Chen?”
“What exactly has happened?”
Xiao Li, hearing the teacher calling him, quickly stood up and stammered, “Teacher… didn’t you know?”
Zhang Mu anxiously said, “Just tell me, stop dithering!”
Xiao Li, seeing the teacher get angry, quickly said, “Teacher, haven’t you seen the latest issue of ‘Nature’ magazine? Professor Chen has made a breakthrough in the neuro-pathological research on Parkinson’s disease!”
“In fact, Professor Chen’s concepts have directly overturned previous understandings of Parkinson’s by major global institutions!”
“Now, it’s all over the internet!”
“The key is, simultaneously, Professor Tethys’s research theories and conjectures on Parkinson’s were also published in the ‘Physiological Reviews’ journal with an impact factor as high as 30!”
“Currently, the competition between these two theories on major medical research forums has reached a fever pitch.”
“And now many senior experts and professors are coming forward to support Professor Chen’s theory!”
Xiao Li spoke passionately!
Everyone present was bursting with pride and excitement.
They couldn’t believe that Professor Chen was such a versatile talent.
Not only did he have profound research in clinical medicine.
He also had such deep insights into the physiological pathology of the nervous system.
What’s more!
Professor Chen’s theory was undeniably bold!
Once established, it would directly overthrow a century of Parkinson’s research.
Proving that Parkinson’s is not merely a degenerative disease, but an autoimmune disorder.
This finding is an unprecedented challenge to existing theories!
Zhang Mu’s complexion changed!
He urgently asked, “What’s the title of Professor Chen’s published article, and where can I see it?”
Xiao Li: “You can see it right on the cover of the ‘Nature’ journal!”
Hearing this news, Zhang Mu quickly got up and left.
In a hurry, he said, “Meeting adjourned for now!”
After saying this, Zhang Mu didn’t wait for the others to react and was the first to get up and leave the scene, rushing back to the office.
He was extremely anxious!
At this moment, Zhang Mu suddenly realized that the one-week agreement Chen Cang gave him was no joke.
He might actually have been confident about it!
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu quickened his pace even more.
He rapidly opened the computer, subscribed to the magazine, and when he saw the photo on the cover of the ‘Nature’ journal, he instantly felt an overwhelming excitement!
Because on the huge cover, there was only one person’s portrait, and a title!
It was Chen Cang!
In his hand, he held a sci-fi schematic of a human brain, with a name annotated on an ion beside it: “Folding α-synuclein!”
The title below the paper was:
“Parkinson’s is actually an autoimmune disease — The Mysterious Visitor: Folding α-synuclein!”
This title was extremely impactful!
Anyone seeing this title would want to read it quickly!
After all, it’s like someone suddenly telling you, one day, that cancer is actually like a cold.
How could it not be impactful?
As a neuro-physiology pathologist, Zhang Mu’s face changed when he saw this title!
Although he is not currently primarily researching Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s indeed share converging research paths.
For the sake of analogy, he had also researched Parkinson’s theories many times.
Upon seeing this content, Zhang Mu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
He is a researcher!
His approach to problems is through a research perspective.
No matter how influential and tumultuous Chen Cang’s paper might be.
At this moment, Zhang Mu’s heart was calm.
Facing academic matters, he would shed the appearance of a middle-aged man from the neighborhood, showing his sharpness and wisdom.
Line by line!
He read very carefully.
Data, he would think and analyze by himself.
Every theoretical deduction, he would seriously consider.
Every logical judgment, he would contemplate carefully!
Just like that.
Four or five hours passed.
Zhang Mu finally finished reading!
After finishing, Zhang Mu slammed the table and stood up!
At this moment!
He made up his mind.
Just based on this, it’s enough!
What experimental building, can’t I go rent one from the school!
No equipment? I can borrow!
Swallow your pride and fight for it if you must!
Because what’s this?
This is the future!
Looking at the data and words on the big screen.
Zhang Mu was almost sure that given time, they would surely achieve results!
Collaboration!
There must be collaboration!
Even if it costs nothing, there must be collaboration!
Son’s marriage school district house?
Earn it yourself, go buy it yourself!
I have my own dreams and pursuits!
At this moment, Zhang Mu was filled with stubborn determination, and he directly picked up the phone and called Chen Cang!
“Professor Chen, it’s me, Zhang Mu!”
“I want to work with you!”
“I’m not leaving!”
Zhang Mu’s tone was quick, firm, and decisive!
This left Chen Cang stunned.
“Professor Zhang… this… what’s going on?”
Zhang Mu’s participation was certainly delightful.
But…
Hearing his tone seemed a bit off.
So Chen Cang was also a bit puzzled.
Zhang Mu said firmly, “Professor Chen, I read your paper!”
