"It's not rigorous to put that in our terms. ”

The next morning, the "cultural investigation" team was welcomed into the conference room of the school, and Ye Minde opened his mouth to speak under the gaze of many high-nosed and deep-eyed international friends, and then repeated it in English to the friends who were obviously looking, and then continued to say in English to the assistant editor of The Lancet named Carol Bligh: " The main reason why I sent the Chinese and English papers to your journal at the same time is to show that the research on Helicobacter and the writer of the paper were all completed by Zheng Jianguo independently, but I wrote it with him in the English translation, and the written consent of the thank-you person and the institution was also obtained in the acknowledgments——"

Zheng Jianguo's English is a shortcoming, which is why he will spare half of his time and energy to study after the college entrance examination, but due to the lack of current learning materials, most of the things he can learn and come into contact with are some common phrases and sentences.

Just as there are only a few thousand commonly used words in Chinese characters, after mastering reading and writing, you can get out of the category of illiteracy, but in terms of highly professional medical English, there is a feeling that some mice are pulling turtles and have no way to start, and in desperation, when translating into English, Ye Minde is responsible for sorting it out, which is why he will say such a paragraph.

"You can speak English so well, I feel that there are more than half of the obstacles and misunderstandings between us. ”

Carol Bligh looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect this person to speak English so fluently, and even could hear some Oxford accent in it, a pair of blue eyes swept over the Chinese official sitting opposite who was listening to the translation behind him, turned his head to look at the author of the paper next to him, and found that this person was listening to the translation like other officials, so he continued to speak: "Before I came, I was entrusted by the editorial department of The Lancet to express my highest gratitude to Zheng Jianguo. The Lancet, the journal in which your work was published, is your discovery that draws our attention to the Far East, a country with thousands of years of civilization that is still giving birth to amazing miracles.

Before your paper was sent to the journal department, we never imagined that anyone would be able to find bacteria in the strong acid environment of the stomach, let alone imagine that this bacteria would cause stomach ulcers and gastritis, but we have not been in contact with the submissions of Chinese scholars for a long time, so that no reviewers can review these two papers in both Chinese and English.

Of course, the bigger reason is that no one in The Lancet's existing expert pool of gastroenterologists can review your research and its conclusions, after all, in previous gastroenterology studies, it was believed that there would be no bacteria alive in it, so it would not be possible to evaluate its impact and the results of your study.

Fortunately, your findings and data validation are reproducible, and by the time I left London, we had contacted the Royal Marsden Hospital for a repeat trial, and yesterday afternoon I got the latest results, after 69 hours of culture, a large number of Helicobacters were found in the biopsy of a gastric ulcer area from a patient with gastric cardia cancer.

This result and discovery has taken us from half of the task, and now we can negotiate on the revision of the paper, Mr. Counselor, Mr. Bruce, we will confirm the final version of the paper, and it is not appropriate for you to continue listening-"

"Yes, Bligh, then we won't disturb your work. ”

Lance Aiken, who had been smiling all the time, stood up, his eyes were round and his face was full of smiles, and he strode up to Zheng Jianguo, who had already stood up, stretched out his big hand and said: "Congratulations, Zheng Jianguo, I'm very glad that you chose The Lancet instead of New England Medicine and the American Medical Association, Bruce, will you be angry?"

"Oh, Mr. Lance, how can I be angry, I will just tell you that medicine has no borders, science also has no borders, there are only two kinds of people in the eyes of doctors, one is healthy and the other is unhealthy, I heard Mr. Editor say that the Royal Marsden Hospital has completed a repeat trial, which proves that Zheng Jianguo's research is worthy of testing with truth!"

Bruce, who was obviously tall, said in front of the two of them, turned his head to look at the embassy reporter not far away, and hurriedly smiled: "Zheng Jianguo, would you like to take a picture with us? ”

"Okay, it's a pleasure to meet both. ”

Zheng Jianguo stumbled and said two sentences of broken Chinese English, Bruce glanced at Lance next to him, and the two of them sandwiched Zheng Jianguo left and right, and smiled at the half-squatting reporter in the distance: "Eggplant~"

"Click~Click~"

Quickly pressed the shutter twice in a row, Bruce saw that the reporter showed an OK gesture and turned around and stretched out his big hand at Zheng Jianguo, and the freckles on his nose seemed to be red: "Congratulations, Zheng Jianguo!"

"It's all about the cultivation of D and the country. ”

Zheng Jianguo shook hands with Bruce, and saw the translator next to him muttering two sentences in his ear, but he didn't expect the smile on his face to be even stronger, and turned his head to look at the cultural counselor Lance next to him, who also shook hands with Zheng Jianguo and said, with a funny look on his face: "Zheng Jianguo, are you interested in studying in the UK?"

As the sound of translation spread two seconds after Lance's opening, the small conference room instantly became audible, Zheng Jianguo looked at the provincial foreign affairs attaché who was open as if he was about to stare out, and turned his head to look at Ye Minde next to him with a faint curiosity on his face, and said, "Teacher, do you agree with me to study abroad?"

"Due to the interference and sabotage of the "Gang of People", we are still in a backward state-"

Ye Minde frowned slightly and subconsciously spoke in English, his eyes swept over Zheng Jianguo's face full of Chinese escorts, and finally nodded at Lance and said: "If there is no problem in the cost of going out to study and live, you should go out to learn the most advanced medical technology, after all, our research conditions are still relatively difficult, and we will build four modernizations when we return from study——"

"No problem in terms of cost. ”

Lance was looking at Zheng Jianguo, who still hadn't spoken, as if waiting for his reply, but he didn't expect Bruce, who was smiling next to him, to open his mouth first, and then said with a smile: "I believe that with Zheng Jianguo's learning ability, there are many universities or research institutions in the United States that will solve this trouble for you, if Zheng Jianguo, you agree, I will have someone compile the characteristics and research fields of medical schools to you——"

"Well, trouble Mr. Bruce. ”

Zheng Jianguo wanted to open his mouth, but Ye Minde next to him had already opened his mouth first, then turned his head to look at him and said in Chinese: "Don't thank you Mr. Bruce yet?"

"Thank you, Mr. Bruce!"

Zheng Jianguo responded with a bright smile on his face, and the gentleman-like Lance was dumbfounded, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Bruce, but he didn't expect to see that his back molars were exposed, and he couldn't help but look a little stiff: "Bruce, what about your gentlemanly demeanor?"

"It's not you~"

Bruce looked at Lance, who was smiling embarrassedly, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Minde, and said: "Professor Ye, this is my contact information, if you have any questions, you can find me directly, if I am not there, just report Zheng Jianguo's name - okay, Counselor Lance, we can go to the spring that will spray water." ”

"Hello, this classmate, can I take a solo photo for you?"

Behind Bruce, the blue-eyed reporter who had been holding the camera asked in spoken English, and Ye Minde said: "Jianguo, he wants to take a picture of you, single." ”

“OK。 ”

It was rare for Zheng Jianguo to blurt out a sentence in English, and the reporter took the camera with a smile on his face and quickly pressed it twice, and raised his smiling face in the same way: "OK, OK." ”

"Thank you!"

Zheng Jianguo nodded with a smile, Bruce and Counselor Lance talked to each other, and soon the group of friends led by the two left the conference room, and when these people were gone, the foreign affairs attaché, who had already had a straight face, glanced at Carol who was still sitting on the sofa, glared at Ye Minde fiercely and then turned around and followed out, then the Department of Education also looked at him twice, then the Department of Health, and finally Deputy Director Qiu, who was already half an acquaintance, nodded and left without a smile.

"Comrade Ye Minde, do you know what you are doing?"

The dean, who had been silent, asked in a low voice, his eyes wide open, his cheeks twitched twice, and he said in disbelief: "What country did you not hear about him?"

"American, he said twice. ”

Ye Minde glanced at the dean who was secretly angry, the two had known each other for almost thirty years, so they naturally knew that this time they really made him angry, and quickly said: "The country that has not established diplomatic relations with us now." ”

"Huh?"

The dean looked stunned, the anger on his face quickly disappeared, and he turned his head to look at Carol Bligh, who was holding a notebook and a thesis, and when he turned his head again, his face was already full of surprise, and he immediately put his hands together and rubbed them, but he turned his head and went out without saying a word.

Cai Zhengyuan was a little confused about what kind of dumb riddle the two deans were playing, but he glanced at Zheng Jianguo, and said with a worried face: "Vice Dean Ye, Jianguo is a little too young, right? Now you let him out, his mind is not yet mature——"

"I feel that his mind is more mature than you~"

It is rare that Ye Minde, who has always spoken softly, opened his mouth and directly blocked Cai Zhengyuan's words, the old man blinked and turned his head to look at Zheng Jianguo, nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to see this old thing——"

"You're older than me, old thing. ”

Ye Minde looked at Cai Zhengyuan and shouted before going out, Zheng Jianguo had already opened his mouth and said: "If someone makes a hindrance from it-"

"Then it's time for this business card to come out. ”

Ye Minde did not shy away from the fact that Carol next to him was still there, but said to himself: "If you do an animal experiment in China, you have to catch mice by yourself, I hope you will study well when you go out in the future, and learn as much as you can while you are so young, the reason why I don't let the state pay is that I am afraid that someone will pinch you in this matter."

If you go out with the state's money, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to the direction of study, you have to come according to other people's requirements, then how can you, don't go out when some people change the direction for you, that kind of person makes you can't prevent it at all, so I took this opportunity to directly give you conditions, and even if you have other ideas, do what you want. ”

"That's—"

Zheng Jianguo was stunned, he didn't expect Ye Minde to talk to him about this question at this time, just when he wasn't sure if what the old man said was what he thought, Ye Minde spoke again: "If I didn't come back at that time, but chose to come back now with my life's research——"

"Teacher, I see. ”

Zheng Jianguo subconsciously glanced at Carol next to him, and saw Ye Minde nodding and said: "You are a smart child, you also have enough luck, and you have the persistence not to hit Nanshan and not look back, Jianguo, everything the teacher can teach you is for you, let me help you again." ”

"Thank you, teacher. ”

Zheng Jianguo nodded slightly, he really understood what the old man was saying, and immediately went to Carol's side and said with a smile: "We said half a year ago that we were going to send foreign students, and it seems that the selection exams have been completed——"

"You are different from them, they are sent abroad with money from the state, and you can choose those schools, what I'm afraid of now is that you don't pick peaches in the basket and pick and choose. ”

Ye Minde smiled and joked Zheng Jianguo, of course this was a joke he said, but he quickly waved his hand and said: "But I feel that you can change the direction of your study in the future, although you have a sense of accomplishment in the clinical aspect, saving people's lives will make you feel that you have defeated death and become a god, but you had better not take clinical as the main direction of attack, in the past, you were asked to study gastroenterology because we have no conditions, and it is so difficult to apply for a research fund."

As long as you don't waste it when you go out, I feel that those research institutes and universities can't wait for you to toss around, biology seems to have no future now, but no matter how far science and technology develop, in my opinion, they will return to the field of biology, because this field involves the most basic things of human beings, from the more valuable quality of life that makes people's lives more valuable to the death that plagues every life since human beings have consciousness, and the answers to these are in biology!"

Zheng Jianguo was silent, he didn't expect the old man to look so far-sighted, but think about Ye Minde, who has been in the field of microorganisms all his life, if there is not enough motivation to support him to go down, I am afraid that he would have changed direction a long time ago, and immediately glanced at Carol next to him, nodded and said, "Good teacher, I will listen to you." ”

Ye Minde nodded and said, "Then let's study it first and see how we can satisfy Mr. Carol so that we can send your paper out." ”
