Chapter 1685: Chapter 1689: Journal Showdown (Fifth Update)
At this moment, everyone erupted in excitement!
So this was the reason why Dean Zhang asked them to wait!
“Oh no, I’m kind of tempted, what should I do?”
“I’m tempted too!”
“This benefit is just too good!”
“Professor Chen is such a great person.”
“I feel like being with someone like this is much better than staying here!”
“Exactly, at least there aren’t so many unspoken rules.”
…
The crowd below had already started to discuss!
They didn’t expect that this one-week agreement was set by Professor Chen.
Moreover, Professor Chen had really worked hard this week.
A paper was published in “Nature” magazine!
He also went to Dongyang Province with Leader Kong Xiangmin to find such a large base, offering so many benefits and policies.
This feels so amazing!
“I don’t want to leave anymore!”
Suddenly, someone said this.
A colleague nearby couldn’t help but say, “If you can stay, who would want to leave?”
“Yeah, what’s so good about going abroad? If not for a better research environment or better treatment, who would want to go?”
“Now it’s good, at least in the fields of research on Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s… in this whole series of neurophysiological and pathological studies, Professor Chen is definitely leading the world!”
“Now we just don’t know what the treatment will be!”
“Can the treatment be worse than now?”
“Exactly, once you go there, you don’t buy a house, your children’s education is free and top-notch, where would you spend money?”
Indeed!
For this group of researchers, even if they wanted to spend money… they couldn’t find a place to.
The video quickly ended!
Zhang Mu looked at everyone and couldn’t help but say:
“This is how things are now.”
“Although Professor Chen hasn’t talked to us about the treatment yet, I believe everything will have a satisfactory solution.”
“Alright, everyone make your decision.”
“If you still wish to persist in leaving, come up and get a recommendation letter.”
“If you don’t want to leave, take back your resignation letter.”
After Zhang Mu finished speaking, everyone present began to hesitate.
Honestly, this issue is very real.
No one knows what future choices will be like.
But!
No one was willing to go up and take the recommendation letter.
Nor did anyone go to get their resignation letter.
Everyone was watching!
After a long time… finally!
The first person stood up, a 42-year-old researcher from the company with some experience, qualified to go to Tethys Laboratory as a senior researcher with a 200,000-yearly salary!
What would he take?
The man walked ahead without any hesitation.
He walked over to Xiao Li!
“Xiao Li, give me my resignation letter!”
As soon as he said this, everyone was instantly excited.
Xiao Li, hearing this, nodded excitedly, “Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I’ll get it for you right away!”
“Thank you for not leaving!”
As Xiao Li looked for it, he said excitedly.
Not long after, he took out a resignation letter and handed it to the teacher.
But just as he stood there, he took the resignation letter, and in front of Zhang Mu, tore it up!
“Dean Zhang, I’m not leaving!”
Zhang Mu immediately felt a surge of excitement, a tingle in his bones spreading throughout his body!
Although he was thrilled, he… said nothing!
He made no statements about today’s events!
With the first one taking the lead!
Gradually, more and more people went up!
“I’m not leaving either!”
“Yeah, contribute to those damn capitalists?”
“Right, help those foreigners with their research and then make money from our Chinese people?”
“Damn it, not going!”
“I’m not going either!”
…
At one time!
More and more people claimed their resignation letters.
And then tore them up!
“Not leaving!”
“We’re not leaving!”
Zhang Mu stood on the stage, looking at more than 400 people both on and off the stage, watching 212 resignation letters all being torn up.
He was moved to tears.
Truly moved.
He hadn’t anticipated such a scene.
He originally thought some people would leave, the fewer left the better!
But to his surprise, no one wanted to leave!
It was truly exhilarating.
And… just too satisfying!
Everyone seeing their comrades choosing to stay, felt their hearts surge with excitement at this moment too.
“Damn! I can drink with you again!”
“Man, let’s go to your place for dumplings someday, your wife’s cooking is amazing!”
“Get out!”
“Ha ha…”
These veterans seeing this scene, quietly turned their heads to wipe their tears.
Truly happy.
How wonderful!
How wonderful it is like this…
Zhang Mu stood up, walked step by step to the front of the stage, to another table.
He picked up each recommendation letter.
And casually tore it up!
Seeing this scene, everyone started laughing.
“Dean Zhang, save them, we might need them if we choose to leave someday!”
“Exactly!”
Seeing everyone start joking around.
Zhang Mu smiled.
“I’ll personally write one for you then!”
After saying this, Zhang Mu looked at everyone and said, “Is everyone not leaving?”
“Not leaving!”
“Indeed, not leaving!”
Zhang Mu nodded, “Alright, then I’ll call Professor Chen.”
“To tell Professor Chen the news!”
“Just say, the one-week agreement has not yet expired, but we’ve all decided not to leave!”
“How’s that?”
After speaking, Zhang Mu picked up the phone and dialed Chen Cang’s number.
But only a dull tone sounded!
The call couldn’t go through.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off!”
At this moment!
Chen Cang was in America, just got off the plane!
This time, he wasn’t here for any serious purpose.
He came to attract (keng) investment (meng) and resources!
Right after the publication in “Nature” magazine.
The forum had already exploded!
Even Tethys didn’t expect something like this to happen.
The “Nature” annual issue and “Physiological Reviews” were almost released simultaneously.
With this release, the cover stories of both, focused on the same disease type but completely different concepts, instantly caught everyone’s attention!
Both have a 30-point impact factor in specialized journal publications.
Both have a diverse audience!
The reader overlap was considerable.
Everyone saw these two articles.
After reading them, everyone was stunned by the statements of both!
On one side, a titan of the medical industry who cured Parkinson’s symptoms using surgical methods: Chen Cang!
On the other, someone who has significant research in physiological pathology and just won the Albany Biomedical Prize for Parkinson’s theory: Tethys!
As soon as the face-off between the two began!
Tethys’s side was already starting to waver!
Indeed!
As soon as “Nature” published, Tethys subscribed to the article almost instantly.
Finally!
The moment he saw Chen Cang on the cover!
His heart exploded!
“Nature” actually featured Chen Cang and not me!
He looked at the covers of “Nature” and “Physiological Reviews,” and felt “Nature” was judging based on looks!
Pah!
So what if you’re handsome!
