() Office of the Chief of Neurosurgery.

"Fang Li, are you satisfied with your study summary this month?"

Tian Lu put down the few pieces of paper nailed together in his hand, frowned deeply, and looked up at the student in front of him and asked.

Facing the tutor's questioning, Fang Li's ass was as if a fire had been suddenly lit, and he immediately stood up, his face was also red, and he said loudly: "Teacher, I have some special things this month, especially this week, I am really busy, so ......". .

"I didn't ask you why!"

Without waiting for Fang Li to finish speaking, Tian Lu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I only ask you if you are satisfied with this summary?"

Fang Li fell silent all of a sudden, and even Dong Qiang and Miao Zheng beside him sat up straight at this time, looking at their noses and noses, like puppets, they didn't move. Miao Zheng, who was also admitted to Tian Lu's graduate school this year with Fang Li, is not very familiar with Tian Lu's temper, but Dong Qiang, who is already in the third year this year, knows too well that this tutor is easy to talk in other aspects, but if the student does not take his studies seriously, it will be very scary!

Under the gaze of Tian Lu's faint gaze, Fang Li was silent for a long time, and finally ruthlessly, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry teacher, I'm very dissatisfied!"

At this moment, if there was a crack in the ground, Fang Li would definitely get into it without hesitation!. .

Just now, Tian Lu first read the summary of his senior brother Dong Qiang and Miao Zheng at the same level, and they all gave a certain amount of affirmation and praise, only when he came to himself, how could he not let a strong man be embarrassed?

"Hoo ......"

With a sigh of relief, Tian Lu nodded and sighed: "Yes, you can see that you are not satisfied, so can I be satisfied?" Fang Li, you and Miao Zheng are now studying outside the general area. I can actually leave it alone, but since you're my graduate student. Then I can't let you go!"

When he said this, Tian Lu's tone suddenly turned sharp, and he said sternly: "On the morning of the first day of work after the holiday, I want to see a study summary that is written seriously. Got it?"

"Got it!"

Fang Li replied without any hesitation!

For his students, Tian Lu really didn't want to be too harsh. Therefore, seeing that Fang Li had already realized his mistake, he didn't want to say more, so he softened his tone a little and said softly: "The three of you must remember that since you have chosen to study for graduate school, it means that if you want to go on this path all the way, then you must put in your own efforts, and you must not slack off!" Fang Li. Miao Zheng, although the two of you are not in the department now, the study tasks I have given must be completed on time! In addition, if it is inconvenient to ask me, go directly to Dong Qiang. He's more than enough to help you now, understand?"

"Understood. ”

At this moment, even Miao Zheng was busy answering.

After nodding with satisfaction, Tian Lu waved his hand and said, "Okay, today is a holiday, you two can go first, Dong Qiang will stay for a while!"

After the two "new" students fled out, only Dong Qiang was left in the room, an "old" student, and in front of him, Tian Lu finally didn't have to maintain the posture of a teacher all the time, and leaned on the back of the sofa with a headache.

"Teacher, don't be angry. ”

Dong Qiang got up and added water to Tian Lu's cup, and persuaded with a smile: "Didn't I do this back then, don't worry, slowly they will understand, hehe." ”

After being in contact with Tian Lu for a long time, students like Dong Qiang only have respect for Tian Lu, but no fear, especially when they are alone like now, they are still relatively relaxed, so he is also patiently comforting the tutor at this time.

"I'm really not angry, but I hate iron and steel!"

Tian Lu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Take this learning summary as an example, you also know, in fact, I don't expect them to write anything very outstanding, just to understand their mastery of the learning content, to put it bluntly, sometimes it depends on their attitude towards learning, but ...... Fang Li, this kid, is stronger than Miao Zheng in terms of foundation and enlightenment, but his degree of effort is much worse, which is a little disappointing. ”

"Hehe, no, teacher?"

Regarding Tian Lu's exclamation, Dong Qiang smiled and said: "It's just a little bit this month, didn't Xiao Fang write very carefully before? Maybe there are really some important things that distract his jīng power, right?"

"Well, maybe. ”

Looking back and thinking about it for a while, what Fang Li wrote before was indeed not bad, and the dissatisfaction in Tian Lu's heart slowly dissipated, and after taking a deep breath, he let go of this matter for the time being.

Seeing that the expression on Tian Lu's face was slowly improving, Dong Qiang hurriedly asked with a smile, "Teacher, do you have anything to explain for leaving me behind?"

"Hmm. ”

Tian Lu nodded, and said with a smile: "Xiao Dong, you have been studying with me for two and a half years, right?"

Some didn't quite understand what Tian Lu meant by asking, so after giving a strange look at the mentor, Dong Qiang smiled and said, "Yes, it's been two and a half years, and there are still two and a half years!"

If you graduate with a master's degree and then study for a doctorate, it will take six years, but after Tian Lu was promoted to chief physician last year, he was immediately hired by Beijing Normal University as a doctoral supervisor in neurosurgery, so Dong Qiang naturally followed the master's degree to a doctorate, and he could graduate and get a doctorate after five years of study.

After pondering for a while, Tian Lu said solemnly: "Xiao Dong, what I want to talk to you about today is related to your future development direction, so you must listen carefully, and then go back and think about it seriously, and give me an answer after the festival." ”

What is your future?

After Dong Qiang was slightly stunned, his body suddenly sat up straight!

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Tian Luzheng said: "Although I was only a master's supervisor when you were admitted to my graduate school, I think you also understand that the study tasks I assigned to you in the past two and a half years are not according to the three-year master's arrangement, and it can be said that they are basically in the stage of laying the foundation." ”

Listening to Tian Lu's words, Dong Qiang couldn't help but nodded. He was also very puzzled at the beginning, and even doubted Tian Lu's plan because of this, but he understood it immediately after his mentor was promoted to doctoral supervisor last year.

"Now the first question I need you to think about is, do you want to be a pure and good neurosurgeon, or do you want to develop academically?"

After a short pause, Tian Lu asked in a deep voice.

"The latter, of course!"

Dong Qiang replied without hesitation. In the past two years, following Tian Lu and watching his mentor lead the cooperative research of epilepsy surgery, and finally making such a major breakthrough, Dong Qiang has always been yearning. Especially after returning to Corey at the end of this year's rotation, he saw a wave of domestic and foreign physicians coming to conduct academic exchanges, and other teachers in Corey have made rapid progress in functional neurosurgery and even scientific research projects in other fields, how can he be satisfied with being a pure physician?

"Don't be in such a hurry to make a decision!"

Tian Lu was not too surprised by Dong Qiang's answer, but he just shook his head and said: "I am a little different from other tutors here, if you really want to make achievements in academics in the future, you must be fully mentally prepared, it is not easy to graduate from me!"

"Uh......"

Dong Qiang was stunned again, and after staying for a long time, he blinked his eyes and asked carefully: "Teacher, what do you mean by ......?"

"I mean, now you have a solid foundation, but if you choose this path, then I'm going to send you to the Institute of Neurobiology for at least a year of basic research, then a comprehensive neurosurgery training, and finally a specific subject of neurosurgery that you choose for in-depth training...... In other words, the remaining two and a half years are definitely not enough, maybe the time will be doubled!"

Speaking of this, Tian Lu paused again, and then said slowly: "So, you have to seriously consider whether this is what you want." ”

To make himself more comfortable on the sofa, Tian Lu picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and then quietly waited for Dong Qiang's answer.

Dong Qiang's heart was shaken, and his brows furrowed deeply.

If Dong Qiang didn't know much about his mentor and the neurosurgery department of the Second Affiliated Hospital for more than a year ago, he had seen it clearly and clearly this year.

Tian Lu did not deliberately exaggerate.

In fact, Dong Qiang himself knows this, and it is definitely very difficult to reach the level that Tian Lu thinks is qualified! And more importantly, if he studies for another four or five years, he will be thirty years old! Although Tian Lu's students don't have to worry about tuition fees, other things ......

Tian Lu has never been willing to force anyone, just like the first eight-year student he has graduated, Huang Qiaoqiao chose to stay with him, of course he is happy, Xia Ruo chooses to pursue the future he wants, Tian Lu also gives strong support. Everyone has their own aspirations, even if it is his own student, he doesn't think that he must follow the trajectory he set, so he will ask for the opinions of the parties in advance, only after Dong Qiang chooses the path he wants to take, Tian Lu will design the future study plan and development direction for them.

Life is short, only a few decades, not everyone is willing to spend so much time to learn, and not everyone is willing to take this path.

Seeing that Dong Qiang's face was uncertain, and it seemed that there was a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, Tian Lu smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Okay, Xiao Dong, you go back and think about it for yourself, and give me an answer after the holiday." ”

"Well, okay. ”

Absentmindedly responded, Dong Qiang got up and was ready to leave.

Just when Dong Qiang was about to leave, Tian Lu's heart moved, and he suddenly spoke again: "Xiao Dong, you just have to think about whether you want to do it, don't worry about other problems, as long as you can persevere, then whether it is a doctorate, the expenses during this period and the future work, you don't have to ......worry about it." )
