Chapter 293: Falling in Status
"Let's go and have a meal together." Feng Zixuan invited.

"Oh, I don't have such thoughts. When Principal Fan told me today, I didn't feel anything. But after you explained it to me, I started to feel uncomfortable. I always felt that something was going to happen." Director You sighed, looking worried.

"Call Luo Hao." Feng Zixuan reminded.

"!!!"

Director You was somewhat envious of Director Feng Zixuan. A great man like Luo Hao could be summoned at will and dismissed at will.

Feng Zixuan picked up the phone.

"Xiao Luo, the man who came to see the doctor on a bullock cart, I contacted the precise poverty alleviation cadres on his side.

It was all a misunderstanding. The cadres wanted to send him here, but he refused, saying he didn’t want to cause trouble. He wanted to go to the clinic in a bullock cart, but the old ox pulled him directly to the First Hospital of Medical University.

"Yes, that's why they say old oxen understand human nature."

"His children are all working in other places, and he is the only one living with the old ox. Guess what I remembered?"

"Hahahaha, you knew it as soon as I guessed it, Fuguier."

"Do you have time? I'm really touched by this. Let's have dinner together after get off work."

"Okay, I'll arrange the hotel, and you can bring everyone from your medical team."

Feng Zixuan said this and hung up the phone.

"What do you mean by old ox?" Director You asked puzzledly.

Feng Zixuan briefly recounted the story of how the old ox pulled the patient from the town below directly into the provincial capital and found the First Hospital of Medical University.

It does sound incredible, but there are so many incredible things in this world.

Especially since Principal Fan actually instigated him to tease Luo Hao, Director You felt that this was even more incredible than an old workhorse taking his master to see a doctor.

Director You almost cried when he thought of himself, thinking that he was the old ox.

It’s a pity that Principal Fan won’t treat that old ox like Fugui in “To Live”.

Isn't this just asking for trouble? Director You was furious, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Old You, make friends with Luo Hao." Feng Zixuan said with a smile, "Little Luo is usually very kind."

"What about when things aren't going well?" Director You asked a grammatically incorrect question.

"Hahaha, how would I know?" Feng Zixuan laughed. "He hasn't even arrived yet, but he put my name on the paper as a gift to me. I'm not sick of teasing such a knowledgeable and interesting young man."

"..."

"We usually have a good relationship. At the beginning, I just thought he was an okay person. He often reported his work to me. One time, when we were talking, the emergency department said that a female patient came in and couldn't get the big dog out together."

"..." Director You wanted to laugh, but as soon as his mouth curled up, he almost cried. His laugh was uglier than his cry.

Now no gossip can heal Director You’s inner trauma.

"Xiao Luo went there and yelled at the dog twice, and it ran away. It is still in our security department and has become a watchdog."

"Oh? How did he do that?"

"I didn't believe it when I heard that he could speak animal language, but after seeing Zhuzi's attitude towards him, I believed it."

Feng Zixuan packed his things with a professional smile on his face.

Although he seemed calm on the surface, Feng Zixuan sensed danger.

He originally thought that Luo Hao had a problem with his brain, but now it seems that Luo Hao should have made the right choice subconsciously.

To be honest, with Luo Hao's current level, it is impossible for him to become a foreign member of the United States National Academy of Sciences.

It should be fine five years later, but that's five years later, not now.

But all this happened too fast and too early. Feng Zixuan felt that Luo Hao was lucky.

But now it seems that I was just bad luck.

"Old Feng, do you think Xiao Luo is approachable?"

"Don't even think about touching his people." Feng Zixuan interrupted Director You's thoughts. "He has a good temper because he hasn't touched his core interests. Xiao Luo's core interests are different from others. Others have money and other things, but Xiao Luo doesn't care about these things because he has been led by those old people."

"You don't even care about money? Don't be kidding." Director You was a little confused.

"Haha, it's true."

"Boom boom boom~" A knock on the door sounded.

"Enter."

Luo Hao pushed the door open and came in. Seeing a outsider, he smiled politely. Several members of the medical team followed him in.

"Xiao Luo, this is Director You from the Medical University's teaching department. We were classmates and in the same class. We lived in the same dorms next to each other when we were in school. We have been friends for many years. Later, he stayed at the school and is now the Dean of Teaching, a role that students hate the most."

"Director You, this is Xiao Luo."

"This is the assistant that Xiao Luo brought from Donglian, Chen Yong, a magician."

"Magician?!" Director You was stunned.

"I have a diploma." Feng Zixuan laughed and patted Chen Yong's shoulder vigorously. "I really have a diploma, from the University of Exeter."

"Who is this……"

Feng Zixuan introduced them one by one. Director You noticed that Dean Zhuang's daughter Zhuang Yan was honest and well-behaved. She came in last and sat directly next to the dish.

She looked like she had nothing to do with Dean Zhuang. She was just a simple graduate student who had just graduated and came to the First Hospital of Medical University.

He is honest and abides by the rules, without any dandy behavior.

Let alone anything else, just looking at Professor Luo’s medical team you can tell there’s something, Director You thought to himself.

It was due to Dean Zhuang’s effective education, and also because Luo Hao’s medical team was able to keep the atmosphere under control.

A lot of things depend on details.

"Old Liu is still in surgery and didn't come with you." Luo Hao and Feng Zixuan said in a low voice.

Anesthesiologists are very tired, even more tired than clinical doctors. No wonder 80% of those who have died from exhaustion in recent years are anesthesiologists.

"Have a seat." Feng Zixuan said, "Xiao Luo, Director You is here to talk to me about that group of students today. Do you have any opinions?"

What he said was vague, but Director You's expression changed instantly and became very ugly.

"Oh, it's nothing. If you fail the exam, you won't pass it."

Luo Hao answered casually.

"I made it very clear at the time. The boss's level is too high and they can't reach him. Not to mention them..." Luo Hao chuckled.

Feng Zixuan and Director You immediately understood that, let alone those young students, even they themselves could not reach Boss Chai's level.

If people want to help you, you have to reach a certain position.

They are not Boss Chai’s biological children.

"No problem. If you don't do well in the exam, please give me the list, Director You. I'll bring them over and kick their asses one by one." Luo Hao said firmly, "What a joke. You didn't even study hard in college. You just dated and hung out in Internet cafes."

This is a bit of spoiling, and Director You knows this.

"Director You also doesn't know the details, so he asked me to ask. We are one of our own, and with you, Old You will feel reassured."

"Dean You is too polite. I'm just an ordinary professor."

An ordinary professor, Director You has a bit of a straight look in his eyes.

Can an ordinary professor single-handedly raise the scientific research level of the Medical University to the top ten in the country?
A full professor before the age of 30 with his own efforts? An ordinary professor who is still dreaming of getting the Sanqing this year?
How could he single-handedly fight back against the two deans of the First Hospital of Medical University, saying that they were just ordinary professors who refused to go abroad to perform demonstration surgeries?
Which ordinary professor is so awesome?

Director You had only heard of him before, and had only seen him from a distance when Mr. Chai came. But after a closer look today, Luo Hao was shockingly young.

That kind of vigor and vitality made Director You's heart palpitate.

Compared with Luo Hao, he was like an old guy who was half buried in the ground... No, the ground had already buried his eyebrows and he even had difficulty breathing.

"Director You, you are so thoughtful. You don't have to be so polite." Luo Hao sat next to Director You and smiled.

Director You had a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.

Director You, who is always "greasy", is like a college graduate. After sitting at the table, he not only fails to dance gracefully, but is also embarrassed and doesn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Feng Zixuan is here.

"Xiao Luo, Director You wants to ask for your opinion out of respect for you. I think we should just follow the normal procedures, right?"

"Of course. Then give me the list of students who failed the course and I will give them special lessons." Luo Hao said pretending to be angry.

"Ha, actually I think the most ideal life state is not like you, but Chen Yong."

Chen Yong was stunned. What about his own business?

He originally wanted to not even bring ears, just a mouth, and just eat and drink.

I didn't expect Feng Zixuan to involve me.

"I wish to be a frivolous boy of Wuling, born in the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan eras. I will spend my life fighting cocks and running dogs, and I will not know the dangers of the world."

Feng Zixuan said softly.

"We haven't fought a war for more than 40 years now, so it's no exaggeration to say that we are living in a peaceful and prosperous era. Director You and I both went to college after the Vietnam War, and we've both seen how much has changed over the years."

"How wonderful it is to spend a life fighting cocks and running dogs." Feng Zixuan muttered.

"Director Feng, I want to do practical things. Luo Hao always said that this world is just a makeshift team. I went back and thought about it. Maybe my previous understanding was wrong, and Luo Hao was right."

"Hmm? What cognition?"

"I always feel that all the great people in this world are really amazing, but in fact, they are just a makeshift group," said Chen Yong.

I am!

Director You was shocked.

It’s not because Chen Yong doesn’t know the immensity of the world.

But if you single out Chen Yong, those few words are a joke.

But now behind Chen Yong is Luo Hao. Against the backdrop of Luo Hao's refusal to become a foreign member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, these words are quite meaningful.

Only a proud soldier can say such words.

How do you cultivate arrogant and brave soldiers? Victory after victory, finally become accustomed to it.

Director You became more cautious, his back straight, as if he was in a meeting.

"Hahaha, you. There are so many talented people in the world!"

"Luo Hao said that I have a great talent for surgery! Those who have the ability become more and more outrageous the more they spread the word, but in fact they are just part of a makeshift team."

Feng Zixuan laughed and looked at Chen Yong.

"Chen Yong is indeed very talented." Luo Hao stood up to endorse Chen Yong, but did not comment on the evaluation of his "grassroots team."

“……” Feng Zixuan smiled and nodded.

He sees Luo Hao and his medical team members almost every day, but his feelings are not as deep as Director You's.

Seeing Feng Zixuan was at a loss for words, Director You smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, it's okay for me to call you that."

"Of course, Director You, you are my senior." Luo Hao replied respectfully.

"You are indeed an expert who has single-handedly put the scientific research level of the Medical University into the top ten in the country." Director You said with emotion, "Old Feng may have been in contact with you too much, and he has long been accustomed to it. For people like me, this is a case of a great man with arrogant and brave generals under his command."

"You're too kind." Luo Hao smiled. "Actually, it's not that difficult."

"Ok?"

"For example, Nature, a top journal, I published three papers this year, and most of them were published this month."

When it was published that month, Director You was very clear that the weight of these three words was no less than that of Nature. "To use the words of Professor Zhang Xuefeng - if you can publish an article in Nature, your ancestral grave will be on fire, not just emitting smoke, but really on fire."

Luo Hao imitated Zhang Xuefeng's voice and spoke.

"Hey, indeed." Director You nodded.

"My father is buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery. Maybe it's the blessing of the heroic spirits."

Luo Hao said lightly and then changed the subject.

"In fact, it is difficult to publish in the main issue of Nature, but it is much easier for its sub-issues. The ghostwriters for the main issue make about 500-1000 million."

"Ah? There is a gunman here too?" Director You was stunned.

"Of course, but there is basically no demand for it. There are not many people like me who have the spare energy to sell Nature, and it doesn't make any sense to me."

Chen Yong sighed.

He suspected that Director You was someone Luo Hao had invited to show off. Wasn't he here to chat with them and talk about the students? How did Luo Hao show off again?

Every time Director You started talking, he was trying to tempt Luo Hao to show off. It would be unreasonable for Luo Hao not to show off.

“……” Director You was stunned.

"Last year, 131 Nature papers were published in China."

"So much?"

"The quality of scientific research in the country has improved recently. Director You, please don't focus on those who commit academic fraud. There are still people in the country who are doing the right things." Luo Hao smiled.

"..." Director You was wondering if Luo Hao was trying to trick him.

"Under the main journals are large sub-journals that focus on specific fields. I am also willing to publish papers in these sub-journals. After all, they are recognized by the industry, and it will not be embarrassing to publish them in the future."

Without losing face, "Nature", Director You could not connect these two words together no matter what.

"For example?" Feng Zixuan added at the right time to prevent the words from falling to the ground.

"Nature Genetics, which focuses on the field of genetics, has an impact factor of around 35. Publishing a paper there will not be a loss of status." Luo Hao reiterated that there will be no loss of status.

Director You almost cried.

The impact factor is 35. How high is that? In Luo Hao's opinion, it is just enough to be published without losing face.

This is so fucking crazy.

“I don’t want to publish in the next one. Nature Communications covers all fields and is easy to publish in. It is called a small journal in the industry.”

Low difficulty?
Director You’s heart moved.

"Xiao Luo, what's the impact factor of that thing you mentioned?"

"Only 16."

Director You’s legs trembled, his waist went limp, and his head almost hit the table.

The impact factor of Chinese journals is between 2 and 3, which is hard strength.

A journal with an impact factor of 16 far exceeds that of a journal with a Chinese prefix, but you don’t want to publish in it?
Luo Hao must be joking.

"Next, there is the fourth level, NPJ Nature Collaborative Journals, which are generally open source and of average quality. They are sub-journals of Nature sub-journals."

Director You has experience in getting beaten, so he didn’t ask about the impact factor.

“Finally, I suggested that the water paper be published.”

Director You pricked up his ears.

"Scientific Reports was once one of the four most insignificant journals. The advantage is that you can shamelessly say that you have published a paper in Nature, but it has not been verified.

People in the industry are very disdainful of this. It may fool laymen, but experts will see through it as soon as they see it.”

Director You sighed and said that he didn’t even know the scientific report.

"Chen Yong seems to be thinking about publishing an article in Xiaozikan recently, right?" Luo Hao asked.

"how do you know?"

"I took a quick look at it when I returned to the dormitory and got a rough idea of ​​how difficult it was. It should be something from the Nature magazine. It's not too difficult. Good luck." Luo Hao answered casually.

Chen Yong was speechless.

He originally wanted to create something of his own to scare Luo Hao, but he didn't expect that this guy already knew it.

"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so capable." Director You praised.

"What's so great about that?" Chen Yong was a little frustrated. "The first draft was ignored."

"It's okay, just send the email to me and I'll take a look." Luo Hao took the initiative to help.

"I……"

"Reduce internal friction. Why not do something else with that spirit? What do you think?" Luo Hao said disdainfully.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Hao immediately realized that something was wrong.

"You wrote this for Lao Liu?!"

"Yeah." Chen Yong nodded.

"Then do it yourself." Luo Hao smiled. It was not appropriate for him to interfere in such matters.

The interest between young lovers is not about a paper. Luo Hao looked at Chen Yong seriously. This guy seemed to have grown up.

Director You felt a little emotional.

See what people say while they eat!
A small magazine of Nature, written for my girlfriend.

Tsk tsk.

Director You usually plays mahjong before meals, but now he drinks less because he still has to play mahjong after drinking.

There is a joke recently that it was not Wuliangye but Feidan that killed Moutai.

Because of the game of throwing eggs, the whole atmosphere at the table changed.

They play mahjong before meals and are not allowed to drink freely during meals. Those who can drink five or six bottles of wine only drink one or two bottles at a table to avoid drinking too much and making wrong plays when playing mahjong.

So the duration of drinking parties is getting shorter and shorter, and people drink less and less.

Thousands of years of wine culture were destroyed by throwing eggs.

After a few words, the atmosphere became harmonious. With Director You trying to curry favor with them and Feng Zixuan willing to help, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.

Seeing that he had almost finished eating, Feng Zixuan put down his chopsticks.

"Xiao Luo, I heard that the Interventional World Annual Meeting asked you to perform a demonstration surgery, which caused a big stir?"

"It's not that big. I don't understand why they have to look for me. It's very strange why Boss Teng in Nanjing didn't go to look for him." Luo Hao replied calmly.

"You are young and have a bright future. I heard that they have contacted our hospital and Medical University?" Feng Zixuan probed.

"It seems that we have contacted our medical university, and they have given us 20 exchange student places every year." Luo Hao emphasized, "You can also be guaranteed admission to graduate school and doctoral studies. If you have some skills after graduation, it is not impossible for you to stay at Johns Hopkins Hospital."

Boom~~~
Director You is completely offline.

Not only him, even Feng Zixuan was dumbfounded this time.

Johns Hopkins has to pay such a high price to ask Luo Hao to perform a demonstration surgery? !

20 exchange students! Such a good thing is something that even a non-211 medical university would not dare to dream of.

"Xiao Luo, is this true~or not~" Feng Zixuan himself didn't notice that his voice began to tremble.

"What's the matter? Director Feng, does your child want to study abroad there?" Luo Hao was a little surprised.

After all, there was a group hospitalization incident in the Department of Neurology a few days ago.

Judging from Feng Zixuan's attitude at that time, he was quite cautious about going abroad, or at least not that enthusiastic.

"No." Feng Zixuan was speechless for a moment.

"It's not interesting. Go out and eat some, Lan Chi. You're as hungry as a rabbit, right, Chen Yong?"

Speaking of this, Chen Yong nodded repeatedly.

Director You really wanted to grab Luo Hao by the collar and tell him that it was Johns Hopkins!
"Xiao Luo, why?" Director Feng asked in a low voice.

He didn't expect that Johns Hopkins would pay such a huge price just for Luo Hao to undergo surgery.

Isn't this nonsense?

"I don't know either." Luo Hao was worried. "Originally, I was thinking that Johns Hopkins Hospital would hire me as a tenured professor, so I asked a few big names to write letters of recommendation to recommend me to become a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States."

"My bosses are getting old, so I have to hurry up and make some achievements to make them happy. I really don't have time for these nonsense things. I really don't have time.

So what if I become an academician there? They are still more strict in their review.”

"Xiao Luo." Director You knew it was impolite, but he couldn't help but refute, "Speaking of scientific research environment, foreign countries are better."

"Maybe, but that was ten years ago. Now foreign scientific research institutions are completely Indianized. In a few years, they will be full of Indians. It's disgusting. Director You, you don't know that Indians are born with a smell..."

Luo Hao makes no secret of his attitude towards India.

"what?"

"what?"

Feng Zixuan and Director You were both stunned.

Luo Hao's words overturned their old views.

"To give you a simple example, since 40% of Boeing's executives are of Indian descent, many of their parts have been moved to India for production. The result is visible to everyone."

"In the past, when we used parts from domestic manufacturers, there were almost no accidents. Now, a plane crashes every now and then. Boeing's technical director started to criticize India for not working hard enough."

“There is such a thing…” Director You was dumbfounded.

"Yes, the bosses, especially Boss Zhou, were injured in the battlefield when they were young, and now they rarely even take a plane." Luo Hao sighed, "The bosses are old, if I just want to cheat people for the sake of fame, it doesn't matter if I get a foreign academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States."

Feng Zixuan resisted the urge to pull Luo Hao's hair and bang his head against the table.

Is this what people say?
"But the bosses are all smart people. They won't say anything when I do those things. They are just unhappy anyway."

Luo Hao paused.

The whole room was silent.

Even the "arrogant and brave generals" under Luo Hao remained silent.

"Hurry up and pass the Qingpu Scholarship, and apply for the Outstanding Young Scholars next year." Luo Hao said firmly.

Luo Hao didn't seem to notice Director You's expression, and continued, "Then, while the bosses are still alive, elect them as academicians as soon as possible."

"!!!"

"!!!"

……

After the meal, everyone dispersed.

Director You seemed to be a wandering soul, feeling uneasy.

Sitting in Feng Zixuan's car, Director You took out a cigarette and handed it to Feng Zixuan.

Feng Zixuan, who usually doesn't smoke, lit one for himself and took a deep breath.

"Your Medical University No. 1 is really producing talented people." Director You didn't know what to say, and finally uttered these words.

"Luo Hao only admitted that he was from Concord."
