Near eleven o'clock on Monday morning, Binhai University.
Qi Yuanchen arrived at the sixth reading room of the university library and found Zhuo Jiahe indeed sitting in a remote corner, seriously imrsed in reading a thick dical to.
Sitting down quietly beside him, Qi Yuanchen said puzzled, "Zhuo Jiahe, you've smoothly passed your thesis defense; you should be relaxing now."
"Yet here you are, suddenly burying yourself in the library, determined to work hard."
"You didn't even show this kind of diligence when preparing for exams before."
Looking at Zhuo Jiahe's face, he asked, "Co on, honestly tell , were you strongly stimulated by sothing?"
"Or perhaps you got so insider information you've been keeping from ?"
Zhuo Jiahe hesitated for a mont, then whispered, "Comrade Lao Qi, stimulation-wise, yes, there was. Insider information-wise, you could say there was a bit."
"Let's talk about the stimulation first!" Qi Yuanchen leaned in with interest.
Zhuo Jiahe glanced around at the people nearby, noting no one was paying attention, and continued, "You know, last weekend I was urgently called to Anlin Hospital to participate in a recruitnt that was quite a blow to ."
Qi Yuanchen curled his lips dismissively and said, "A blow?"
"You were a last-minute replacent yet ranked in the top five. Among hundreds of dical personnel at Anlin Hospital, you were in the top five by looks. Isn't that enough to be conceited?"
"And you still dare say you took a hit?"
Zhuo Jiahe said sadly, "Comrade Lao Qi, you don't know the inside story."
"At that recruitnt, not only was I crushed by those three in terms of looks."
"But also in other aspects…"
He looked at Qi Yuanchen and gestured at his own face, then said, "Let put it this way, when I'm with you guys, my face alone is enough to make you feel inferior."
"To prevent you from becoming overly self-conscious, I usually don't show how outstanding my inner self is."
Qi Yuanchen snorted and teased, "Zhuo Jiahe, you just love to brag, don't you?"
"About your outstanding inner self—after several years as classmates, don't we have you all figured out?"
Zhuo Jiahe said seriously, "To be honest, you guys truly don't know how truly impressive I am."
"eting those three guys who are more handso, I was actually happy."
"Appearance is rely superficial, a man relies on true abilities. If my looks don't asure up, I can use my outstanding inner self to conquer them."
"But…"
Zhuo Jiahe reminisced painfully, "In matters related to dicine, whether openly or covertly, those three unexpectedly weren't weaklings; I can honestly say I was completely defeated."
Qi Yuanchen laughed gleefully, gloating, "You, when eting people less attractive, you compare looks. When eting those more handso, you compare your inner self."
"All the while brushing superiority on us, maintaining your pride, you finally t soone you couldn't surpass in either appearance or inner self."
Trying hard not to laugh, he said, "This blow, for you, is indeed significant, quite significant."
Zhuo Jiahe snorted unhappily, "Qi Yuanchen, with this attitude, you don't intend to hear my insider info."
Qi Yuanchen imdiately adopted a solemn expression, "Classmate Zhuo, I express deep sympathy and condolences for your setback."
"Now, are you ready to share the insider info?"
Zhuo Jiahe glared at him and said earnestly, "For the sake of our long friendship, I'll share it with you."
"Expert Lin is overseeing a very significant research project."
"Let's put it this way, soone of high status from the Capital City is envious of this project and wants a piece of the action."
"However, they clearly underestimated Expert Lin's influence. Trying to steal, yet suffering losses. They're currently under investigation and likely won't recover."
"Did your orthopedic director uncle tell you all this?" Qi Yuanchen asked.
Zhuo Jiahe nodded, "Yes, my uncle holds quite a position in the Capital City dical circle."
"He told this research project by Expert Lin is significantly important and won't be completed within just a year or two."
"As the research deepens, Expert Lin will require many assistants…"
Qi Yuanchen seed to understand, "You suddenly beca so diligent because you want to be Expert Lin's assistant?"
Zhuo Jiahe nodded and said, "Uncle said, analyzing from Expert Lin's past, he values knowledge and character when selecting people, relying on connections definitely won't work."
Qi Yuanchen chuckled, teasing, "You've known about this and didn't tell , secretly working hard alone, with such character?"
Zhuo Jiahe said angrily, "Qi Yuanchen, if you keep this up, I'll truly be angry."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, thank you for telling about this insider info."
Qi Yuanchen said offhandedly and laughed, "In exchange, I'll share a newly acquired piece of news with you too."
Without waiting for Zhuo Jiahe to ask, he said, "The decision about last week's shocking graduate student group fight at the dical College has finally co out."
"Warnings and public criticisms, plus canceling all evaluation qualifications for the year!"
Zhuo Jiahe nodded and analyzed, "This penalty is as expected, just a warning and a public criticism, which can be considered very light, neither painful nor itchy."
"After all, they were the fighting party, and being a student of Expert Lin, you have to give Expert Lin so face."
However, Qi Yuanchen disagreed, saying, "Zhuo Jiahe, there's also the 'cancellation of eligibility for awards' as part of the penalty."
"Don't forget, our advisor has highly praised the graduation theses of Song Licheng and Zeng Yang, believing those two papers would surely be rated as excellent at the provincial and municipal levels."
"Moreover, the students of Expert Lin who haven't graduated yet are strong contenders for various scholarships from the school and college. Now, they all have no chance."
Zhuo Jiahe said indifferently, "The halo of being a student of Expert Lin surpasses all sorts of honors."
"As for scholarships which are like sothing with little value, it is said that Expert Lin is quite generous to his students, so presumably, they wouldn't even care for them."
Hearing these words, even Qi Jiahe agreed, "You do have a point!"
"Being a student of Expert Lin nowadays indeed surpasses all sorts of honors."
"Those guys must be regretting deeply, which is why they ended up fighting Song Licheng and the others out of jealousy and envy."
Zhuo Jiahe sighed, "Back then, the reputation of Expert Lin wasn't so prominent, and there were only vague rumors. It's understandable that those guys felt discontent."
"It's just that..."
He sighed again and said, "This shows that heaven indeed favors those who are diligent and self-disciplined."
"Especially in our profession, to muddle through learning is to deceive oneself, to play with the lives of patients."
Zhuo Jiahe pushed a thick dical to towards Qi Yuanchen and said, "Join in reading, learn for yourself..."
Lin Jie walked into Elenna's ward and saw Elenna lying on the bed, connected to nurous monitors.
Seeing her face was as usual, and the data on various monitors were within the normal range, Lin Jie asked Tian Xiangyu and Zhou Ziyan, who were already in the ward, "How's the situation?"
Zhou Ziyan glanced at Tian Xiangyu, who gestured for him to speak, so he organized his speech and said, "Expert Lin, the experintal dose of Life No.1 Inducer has been in Elenna's body for over three hours."
"According to the calculations, this experintal dose of the inducer is either absorbed and broken down by the body or excreted as waste. The residual amount in the body is now negligible."
"Based on our monitoring, Elenna's heart rate and breathing have maintained a relatively stable frequency over these three hours, and there have been no significant fluctuations in hemoglobin, white blood cell counts, and other values."
"The physiological values of the fetus have also not shown any significant fluctuations."
This report was the answer Lin Jie wanted.
Even so, to be on the safe side, he pulled up the instrunt data to re-check it himself.
The re-check results were no different from Zhou Ziyan's report; the physiological values of both Elenna and the fetus remained stable.
This showed that the inducer had no irritating effect on Elenna, nor were there any obvious side effects.
Seeing Elenna looking expectantly, Lin Jie smiled and said, "The experintal results are all good; we can proceed with the experintal treatnt."
"Let's go to the operating room then..."
Over half an hour later, after preparations for surgery were complete, Lin Jie approached Elenna, who lay on the operating table, and said, "Elenna, this operation is very simple. As I introduced before, it's just two punctures at the site of your thoracic tumor."
"There will be so pain; you'll need to endure it."
Elenna said in a muffled voice, "Expert Lin, I can endure it, you can start!"
Lin Jie reached out to take a long, hollow puncture needle from Zhou Ziyan, aid at the junction cartilage of Elenna's fifth and sixth thoracic vertebrae, and briskly and accurately punctured it.
Lin Jie's action seed casual and quick, but this puncture position was determined after studying Elenna's current intrathecal 3D imaging for a good three to four hours.
After the puncture, he received a slender, hollow catheter from Tian Xiangyu's hand, guiding it through the hollow puncture needle to an appropriate position near the spinal canal tumor.
Then, removing the puncture needle completed the first puncture.
Lin Jie then used a second puncture needle at a pre-selected position for another puncture, leaving behind another slender hollow catheter.
Eventually, the two slender hollow catheters were connected to two exquisite, wristwatch-sized tal devices.
These were actually two micro-infusion pumps.
One contained a slightly light yellow inducer developed by Zhou Ziyan.
The other contained a colorless inhibitor.
These two micro-infusion pumps would administer the two liquids into Elenna's spinal canal in a tid and tered drip manner.
"Tian Xiangyu, Zhou Ziyan, within these three days, make proper arrangents. There must always be soone by Elenna's side for twenty-four-hour monitoring..."
After instructing Tian Xiangyu and Zhou Ziyan on so matters, Lin Jie left the operating room and returned to his office.
There he found Water Buffalo waiting for him.
Lin Jie said in a sowhat annoyed tone, "Water Buffalo, you usually don't co to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing; tell , what's the matter this ti?"
"Let first say, if it's an experience like last ti, I wouldn't do it again for anything."
Water Buffalo said with a dejected face, "Expert Lin, last ti's terrifying incident was purely an accident, and none of us wanted it. This ti, rest assured."
"I'm not here to ask you to treat patients or save lives; I'm specifically here to bring you so talent."
