Chapter 1149: Chapter 914: Double Barrel Approach Part 2

Then, a simple pre-surgery examination was conducted, and a dose of lidocaine was obtained from the pharmacy. The surgery was completed in the treatment room of the Surgical Research Institute.

It was just a local anesthesia surgery. Little Five and Zhang Lin finished the procedure in a few minutes and found a rice-sized red bead under the nail bed of Second Aunt’s right index finger. It was sent to the Pathology Department for Wen Ruzheng, who had not yet finished work, to examine. Indeed, it was a benign hemangioma.

The total cost was just a few hundred yuan, and Second Aunt resolved an old issue that had troubled her for years. She had always thought it was due to her old age and frequent contact with cold water, so she never imagined it was a treatable condition.

Dean Sun called Yang Ping again to ask about Bao Junhao’s surgery. It was initially set up for admission and surgery, as they had appointed a time, but it got postponed due to Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang being overseas, and Yang Ping being too busy to perform Bao Junhao’s surgery.

Now that Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang had returned, Yang Ping had much more time, and Bao Junhao could be admitted for surgery. Yang Ping agreed with Dean Sun, "Admit now, operate the following day."

Thus, even after working hours, the Bao Yulou family rushed with their son to the emergency for immediate hospitalization for the surgery, fearing that Yang Ping might refuse the surgery again the next day.

There was no choice; Yang Ping had invented this surgical method. Their son was still young, and even without mentioning playing football, normal life required two healthy legs.

Young Master Bao, staying at the Overseas Chinese Building’s orthopedics department headed by Tian Yuan, would have his surgery led by Yang Ping, but the routine perioperative management was the responsibility of the doctors at the Overseas Chinese Building.

According to Bao Yulou’s opinion, they should not have stayed in the Overseas Chinese Building at all. They should have stayed in the ward of the Surgical Research Institute to make a low-profile good impression on Professor Yang, but there was only one suite there, which was already occupied.

The remaining were double rooms or triple rooms, and Young Master Bao was unwilling to stay in such rooms. Bao Yulou tried hard to persuade him, "This is not a hotel stay but a hospital treatment. It’s only for a week, just bear with it."

Young Master Bao retorted his father, "For your trivialities, you always get a VIP ward. When it comes to me, why are we pinching pennies? Am I even your biological child?"

Bao Yulou wanted to smack him right then. If it hadn’t been for the resemblance to himself, he really might have doubted if this jerk was his own son.

Left with no choice, Bao Yulou had to arrange for him to be accommodated in the orthopedics department of the Overseas Chinese Building.

After completing the hospitalization procedures, Bao Yulou personally went to the Surgical Research Institute to explain to Yang Ping, "My family’s little rascal lacks upbringing. Staying here might disturb other patients, so I’ve placed him in the Overseas Chinese Building. I’d appreciate Professor Yang taking care of the surgery."

Bao Yulou, a man experienced in the business world for many years, had met all kinds of people. If he previously played submissive for his son’s surgery, now he genuinely respected Yang Ping, and he was also grateful that his unimpressive son had not provoked an irreconcilable conflict with Yang Ping; otherwise, he would have been in big trouble.

Elderly Director Li Min had his stitches removed and was discharged; he walked much straighter. Yang Ping specifically arranged a car to take him home, and to let the elderly director rest a few more days, Yang Ping asked Li Guodong to stay at Guandu Hospital for two more weeks.

Now that Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang had returned, there was sufficient staff, and the delay of two weeks for Li Guodong was not impactful.

August and Manstein ended their visit to Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1 and immediately returned to their country. Manstein rejected all other invitations from other medical universities and hospitals, visiting only Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1.

After returning home, Manstein hurried to replicate Yang Ping’s experiment and then prepare to nominate Yang Ping’s scientific research for the Nobel Prize.

As Manstein planned for Yang Ping’s Nobel Prize nomination, Principal Ruo of Nandu Medical University started arranging for Yang Ping’s nomination as an academician.

For this purpose, Principal Ruo of Nandu Medical University personally visited Sanbo Hospital, and upon meeting Dean Xia, the two shook hands immediately.

"Elder Xia, when we partnered, many said that your Sanbo Hospital was reaching above its station to connect with our Nandu Medical University. Now it seems it is us who are reaching up to you," Principal Ruo said happily.

Sanbo Hospital has so many world-class research achievements that it’s at least known as an affiliated hospital of Nandu Medical University. Now, when you mention Sanbo Hospital, you have to include the name of Nandu Medical University. With this merger, Nandu Medical University really hit the jackpot.

Principal Ruo came this time for the matter of Yang Ping’s academician nomination. Not long ago, they were discussing the matter of Yang Ping being an Outstanding Young Talent, and now the academician nomination has already been scheduled.

There’s no helping it, who could have expected the young man’s research achievements to surge like this?

Academician and Nobel Prize nominations are being processed simultaneously, since they are unconnected, a two-pronged approach.

"Elder Xiang proposed nominating Yang Ping for academician. Some in the university strongly disagreed, arguing that Yang Ping is too young, graduated only a few years ago, clearly lacking seniority, how could he possibly be nominated for academician? Elder Xiang slammed the table and lost his temper right there, ’Seniority, seniority, is academician based on academic achievements, or on seniority?’ I support Elder Xiang. Yang Ping fully meets the criteria for an academician now. I am not sure about your hospital’s view, because the selection of an academician is a systematic project, and it can only succeed if we work together closely." Principal Ruo knew Dean Xia was a straightforward person, so he did not beat around the bush.

He came today wanting to discuss with Dean Xia. Currently at Nandu Medical University, Vice Principal Ding Decheng disagreed with the university endorsing Yang Ping for academician. Vice Principal Ding is the first vice principal and has a certain standing at the university; his job hasn’t been done well, making this matter quite challenging.

Actually, Principal Ruo was very clear in his mind that Ding Decheng was just seizing this opportunity to play games with Principal Ruo; he actually wanted to exchange support for Yang Ping’s academician nomination for his son-in-law’s Outstanding Young Talent issue.

Ding Decheng was a cunning man, skilled in manipulation and knew how to exploit opportunities. He didn’t dare to confront people like Su Qingyun head-on, but he had ways to benefit himself indirectly.

Since Yang Ping had occupied the slot for the Outstanding Young Talent, Vice Principal Ding thought it wasn’t a big deal, at most a year’s wait, but now he found that there were several others quickly closing in to snatch the Outstanding Young Talent slot—Su Nanchen, Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang, Tang Shun. So many suddenly appeared, and his son-in-law had no chance; if they waited a few more years, the variables would be too great. By then, he might have already retired and would not be able to influence matters.

"We’ll support you fully! However you need us to cooperate, we’ll do it. All actions will be as per the principal’s guidance." Why wouldn’t Dean Xia support such a beneficial proposition?

"With that said, it’s good. If our leadership can’t unify their views, many tasks will be hard to carry out. To unify the university’s opinion, I need to make one thing clear, Sanbo Hospital absolutely must not compete for the next round of Outstanding Young Talent slots, is that possible?"

Principal Ruo was also balancing many relationships, paving the way for Yang Ping’s academician nomination.

If he could bring Principal Ding over, the whole of Nandu Medical University would be unified. Actually, in Ding Decheng’s view, his demands were not excessive; it would be unfair if all the good opportunities were taken by others without leaving something for his side.

Though Principal Ruo despised Ding Decheng’s maneuvers, as the principal, he had to balance these forces and achieve the best possible solution.

As long as they promised the next Outstanding Young Talent slot to Guan Ruyan, Principal Ding would immediately support Yang Ping’s academician nomination, that was definite, so Principal Ruo also wanted to smoothly settle this matter.

Being a principal was not easy; he had to maintain his principles while balancing all the different relationships. It was not simply a matter of saying how things should be done; achieving a goal required certain methods.

"Why? Do these two matters relate to each other?" Dean Xia asked.

"They definitely relate, but the specific reasons, I can’t really say, just trust me on this," Principal Ruo couldn’t make these under-the-table dealings clear."

"Could it be that someone is making a transaction using Professor Yang’s academician nomination and these issues?"

Dean Xia was no fool, understanding the situation as clearly as a mirror, though he didn’t mention Ding Decheng by name.

Principal Ruo felt awkward, "Yangtze River, you know everything, so since you know, don’t make it difficult for me. Follow my plan; there will be plenty of opportunities for your hospital’s young people in the future, missing out this year won’t matter."

Dean Xia remained silent, calculating in his heart how to handle this matter.
