The conditions of Qi Provincial Medical College are not good, but that refers to the hardware equipment, as for the software venue and personnel, it is many, large and wide, and the dean's office in Zheng Jianguo's memory is a room that is comparable to the 100 square meters of the school conference room.

Although he complained many times in his heart that this place was much bigger than his dormitory, but this thought could only turn around in Zheng Jianguo's mind, and as he took three steps and two steps before rushing into the school, the door of the mailroom suddenly opened, and Kong Dahai, who was wrapped like a zongzi, waved his hand: "Zheng Jianguo, go to the dean's office, there is your international phone——"

"That's called an international call—"

Slandering again in his heart, Zheng Jianguo had already waved his hand into the campus, and at this time the campus was just before the end of the morning class, and there were not many people on the way from the campus to the dean's office, until he pushed open the door of the office: "Oh-dean, dean Cai, dean Li-"

"Don't appoint the dean, our medical school is not such a big temple, come and sit down, I'll have good news for you, it's Bruce who called. ”

The dean's ruddy mouth opened and closed, wisps of smoke came out of his mouth and nose, Zheng Jianguo looked at the cigarette between his fingers and was already stupid: "Dean, haven't you quit smoking?"

"Don't open any pot and mention it, sit down and listen to me. ”

The dean's fair cheeks flashed full of disgust, and he pointed to the chair in front of the table and said, Zheng Jianguo also sat down on the chair honestly, his small eyes fell on the black phone on the desk, as if he understood his thoughts, and the dean said: "Bruce said that he would call, that is, he will call in thirteen minutes, so we teachers and students also took advantage of this opportunity to communicate, do you know why Professor Ye resigned?"

"I know, because he agreed to let me go out to study in front of foreign guests at that time, and later I remembered that when I asked him about the old man, I was suspected of making Professor Ye a villain. ”

Zheng Jianguo blinked and said, Li Lening, who was on crutches next to him, immediately nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Yes, your kid's head is very good, but the person next to the tank can't top it, only Professor Ye can top it, if you say yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, and now you can be regarded as arranged, then you know that his resignation as dean is to retreat as advance, right?"

"I don't know. ”

Zheng Jianguo shook his head quickly and said, Cai Zhengyuan next to him spoke: "At that time, we discussed that Professor Ye would resign as a buffer, and in fact, it was arranged later, even if he really resigned as vice president and retired, then he could be hired back to the hospital as a professor and expert."

Of course, the worst plan that the dean can do is that both of you will be criticized, and in the end, if your research is published and then released, it is because there is a premise, and that premise is that the length of time your paper will be published in a few months to half a year, or even a year. ”

"I thought the same way, I was thinking about this before I heard the loudspeaker, can I tell the professor to go home for the Chinese New Year this year. ”

Zheng Jianguo touched his nose and said his previous thoughts, he has read a lot of journals and magazines recently, many of them are studies from last year and the first half of the year, the farthest is the memory of the Nobel Prize boss Tu Youyou's research more than ten years ago was only sent out this year, and he still has a certain psychological preparation for when the paper can be issued, so when he saw Roland later, he remembered Kou Yang and Zheng Donghua, and of course, the agreement that the sister and brother said before: "My sister wrote a letter saying that she was not at home last year, and my parents' year was not good——"

"When you become famous, you will become their pride, and they will be happy when you are not at home, but as much as they want. ”

The dean obviously said with a deep understanding, and pointed to the phone on the table and said, "What Bruce said just now is that there is extremely important news for you, so it must be up to you to listen to it yourself, otherwise he would rather wait until three days later to tell you in person-"

"Then Dean, do you think you should let him come back in three days?"

Zheng Jianguo's eyes lit up suddenly, but with his voice, the dean also seemed to have a small sun in his eyes, these international friends coming to the academy means that the leaders will also come, how can the Qi province also send a leader of the same level to follow, just like that-thinking of the dean here quickly shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't know the situation of Professor Ye now, if we come again, who of us can go up?"

"Oh well. ”

Zheng Jianguo saw that there was no way to make money from the dean, no matter which school or college he put it in his memory, as long as there were international friends coming, it would be a great joy, whether it was white, black or yellow, but the dean also said, steady: "What else did Bruce say before? Could it be published so soon?"

"I don't think it's possible, that editor Carol has only been back for a few days, unless he takes a direct flight to London and doesn't go home to hold an editorial board meeting directly, and it can only be published after it is unanimously approved——"

The dean obviously doubted Zheng Jianguo's statement, but if this matter was ruled out, there should be nothing important news for Zheng Jianguo, and soon a thought flashed in his mind, picked up the cigarette and put it in his mouth and took a puff, then quickly shook his head with a face full of disbelief, and said: "It can't be that you have a school willing to pay for your study abroad, right?"

After a few days of understanding, the college dean led by the bigwigs also have an understanding of the cost of studying abroad, although the United States is one of the few developed countries in the world, but they also implement a 12-year free compulsory education system that does not include universities.

Six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and then go to college, except for some students like Zheng Jianguo who have won college scholarships, everyone else's college career has to bear about 10,000 US dollars a year in tuition, and these universities do not include medical schools.

Medical schools in the United States require a college diploma to apply for the examination, and the three-year fee of 10,000 yuan per year costs more than 30,000 US dollars, while the cost of going to medical school is between 15,000 and 20,000 yuan per year.

Considering that the average salary of the American people at this time is less than 1,000 US dollars, it is the annual salary of an adult - of course, according to the cognition of the deans and college bosses, they have not yet thought of the price factor, but even if it is calculated in this way, if Zheng Jianguo wants to go to medical school in the United States for three years, it will need 45,000 US dollars in tuition.

Forty-five thousand US dollars, not including food and clothing, even if Zheng Jianguo was allowed to tie his neck and learn to drink the northwest wind after passing, in the eyes of many bigwigs in the academy, if this astronomical expense is not funded by others, then Zheng Jianguo will never be able to get the country's public quota, at least he will not be able to get it before the paper is issued.

According to these perceptions, it is impossible for a university to offer a scholarship before the paper is published, which is why the dean shook his head after saying it: "What, you have to wait until the paper is published, right?"

"This is the right reason~"

Cai Zhengyuan nodded and said, and he remembered the exam for studying abroad preparatory personnel organized half a year ago: "Teacher Qi and Teacher Zhao in our school didn't even pass the written test in the province, but I didn't expect that someone would take a foreign scholarship to study, but you have to be prepared to deal with political censorship——"

"This shouldn't be, Jianguo is not into those departments, if you go abroad, since the Ministry of Education has selected the prospective students to study abroad with such fanfare, I am worried that some people in our ministry will have any ideas, but even if you don't get in touch this time, Jianguo doesn't have to worry too much, when your paper is published, I feel that the opportunity will be greater." ”

Li Lening, who was on crutches, picked up the crutches and knocked on his knee and said, Zheng Jianguo also smiled: "This can only be said to be going to fight for it, just like the dean said at that time that if it is published, he will help me fight for a doctorate——"

"You don't have to point to me about this, if you stay in the academy after the publication, I will fight for a doctorate degree for you, not to mention that your face is bright, even our school is also bright, the youngest doctor, the world doesn't know if it's the smallest, but you are famous in our country again, the youngest doctor——"

Taking a puff of the cigarette that took off his fingertips and endured the burning, he pressed the cigarette butt on the cigarette case in front of him, and the dean said and stood up and walked to Zheng Jianguo with his hands behind his back, the teachers all like good students, especially when this student is not only good at studying but also obedient.

As the head of the first college, the dean is also shouldering the heavy responsibility of cultivating students, but after speaking, the smile on the back faded, and the eyes under a pair of white eyebrows continued brightly: "Jianguo, there are not many people who can teach you in learning, but a few of our old guys have lived for so long and it is not a waste of food, the books say that foreign countries are a world of flowers, and the world of flowers where money is paramount, regardless of men, women and children who open their eyes, all they look at is money."

And on our side, there is also a saying that a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, of course, no one can live without money, but this thing says that it is important because it can meet people's material needs, but money can easily cause people to rely on material things, which in turn leads to spiritual degradation, you are still young-"

"Hey, Jianguo is only 17 years old, oh, let's forget Jianguo's birthday. ”

Seeing that the dean was talking in a rambling manner as if he was spinning in circles and couldn't get up to the point, Cai Zhengyuan quickly interrupted and was distorted by what he said, Zheng Jianguo's birthday he remembered, after all, everyone said before that he was not seventeen but sixteen and a half old child.

At this time, remembering that it had been three days since his birthday on December 5th, Cai Zhengyuan quickly showed a smile on his face: "The child has a fart birthday, and he hasn't said his birthday in the year of the weak crown, Jianguo, the dean means that if you go out, you must beware of the sugar-coated shells of all evil capitalism, especially women, beautiful women-"

"Hehe, that's not what I said—"

The dean turned his head to look at Cai Zhengyuan and blinked, and there was a joking smile on his old cheeks, and he turned his head to look at Zheng Jianguo and said: "Dean Cai is also a person with a heart, Jianguo, you also have to keep his words in mind, you are still young now, and you go out to study, Professor Ye said that he has already told you about learning, and it is inconvenient for us people to talk about it, so it is these trivial things that can teach you." ”

"No, how is this a trivial matter, this is a big thing that is easy to destroy people~"

The crutches in his hand were lightly tapped, and Li Lening said in disagreement: "Looking at the famous people in ancient and modern times, not to mention the young and old, there are a few people who can regard the pink as a skeleton, and the vast majority of those people would have achieved a lot higher if they hadn't indulged in women and wine pond meat."

Jianguo, you are now the age of hot-blooded Fang Gang, fortunately, we are a medical school, I heard that you have learned well in both the local solution and the full solution class, so you should know how thick the skin is on the outside of people, and when you choose the other half in the future, think about what I told you——"

"Jingle bell—"

Before Li Lening's voice was finished, the phone on the dean's desk jumped up, because it was still an old-fashioned phone at this time, and there was no external function, the dean turned his head to look at Cai Zhengyuan, who picked up the phone with the gaze of others in a few steps, and said: "This is Qi Provincial Medical College——"

The next moment, Cai Zhengyuan quickly continued in English: "Hello Mr. Bruce, Zheng Jianguo has arrived, right next to me - sorry, our phone is not out - but can you wait a minute?"

A thought quickly swirled in his mind, Cai Zhengyuan pressed the microphone and turned his head to look at the dean: "He wants us all to listen, especially Zheng Jianguo, why don't we put the phone in front of the microphone of the radio speaker?"

"Then there will be a howling, you just say that our conditions do not allow it, you can convey it to Zheng Jianguo-"

The dean's pale brows were instantly raised, and then he shook his head to reject this unreliable suggestion, and the school's radio room was outside a building, and he immediately flew an eye dart at this deputy who liked to toss, and he felt that this person was more and more out of action: "That's it." ”

"Oh well. ”

Cai Zhengyuan put down the hand holding the microphone with a nonchalant face, and said in English into the microphone: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bruce, the conditions on our side are limited, classmate Zheng Jianguo is next to me, I can tell him any news you have, Jianguo, come and answer the phone and say a few kind words." ”

"Hello, Mr. Bruce, I'm Zheng Jianguo-"

Cai Zhengyuan didn't let him say what language to use, Zheng Jianguo took the microphone and reported the words in a tone of one word, but he didn't expect fluent Mandarin to come from the phone receiver: "Hello, Zheng Jianguo, I am Bruce, whom we met before, and now I am the assistant to the assistant director of the American Liaison Office in the Republic, first of all, please allow me to congratulate you only in my own name."

Congratulations on becoming the first researcher in the Republic to publish a paper in The Lancet, and the first Republican to publish a paper in Chinese in The Lancet, although this is largely due to the fact that the editorial office and reviewers could not confirm whether the Chinese and English expressions in your paper were consistent.

But in view of your revolutionary discovery and your almost legendary discovery, the editorial department and Time Magazine believe that you have the qualifications to appear in their magazine, Zheng Jianguo, congratulations on becoming the cover character of the 49th issue of Time Magazine in 1978, and the magazine will be delivered to you in three days——"
