Chapter 1190: Chapter 931: Own Life_3

At the social dinner table, everyone added each other on WeChat and formed a group, agreeing to visit Nandu Medical University again next week.

After seeing off the visiting team, Yang Ping discussed Lu Xiaolu’s situation with Song Zimo, Xu Zhiliang, and Tang Shun. Not just Yang Ping, both Tang Shun and Song Zimo felt that Lu Xiaolu was talented, but they wondered why he was so obscure that he didn’t even have a single first-author paper worth mentioning.

"He was disciplined by Nandu Medical University a few years ago."

Song Zimo was more familiar with the affairs of Nandu Medical University than Yang Ping, and in fact, it was some female doctors who had told him.

"What for?" Yang Ping thought this person had a story.

Because when experts got together, as long as they communicated deeply, they could mostly get a very clear picture of someone’s capabilities, if not spot-on then very close to it.

Song Zimo said, "Without Guan Ruyan’s consent, he published a paper with Guan Ruyan as the first author. The quality of the paper was very poor, and the data were even fabricated. It caused an uproar at Nandu Medical University at the time. People wondered why Guan Ruyan would write such a paper that didn’t match his scholarly abilities. Later, the school investigated and found out that the article wasn’t written by Guan Ruyan but by his assistant, Lu Xiaolu. Lu Xiaolu also stepped forward and admitted his mistake, for which the school disciplined him. Luckily, Guan Ruyan is a good person. He forgave Lu Xiaolu’s mistake and kept him in the laboratory as an assistant."

"Yesterday and today I talked to Lu Xiaolu, and why do I feel like he is more capable than Guan Ruyan? On many core issues of Guan Ruyan’s current projects, he can explain them clearly, while Guan Ruyan can’t. I find that strange." Yang Ping had been thinking about this.

"Maybe he does the specific experimental work, and Guan Ruyan is quite busy, so he’s more familiar than Guan Ruyan."

Song Zimo guessed that at Nandu Medical University, Guan Ruyan was recognized as a young talent, and apart from Lu Xiaolu’s dark history, almost nobody knew him. If he truly were more skilled than Guan Ruyan, the likelihood of being overlooked under Principal Ruo’s tenure at Nandu Medical University would be small. Principal Ruo loved talents greatly, and there was also Academician Xiang at Nandu Medical University, who was famously fond of talents and had unearthed several young talents himself.

"Some people might be eloquent yet have no real talent, while others may not be articulate but have real substance. Old Xu is not good with words; Old Tang, on the other hand, has a silver tongue." Song Zimo interpreted it according to his own understanding.

Tang Shun was clearly displeased when he heard this: "Dr. Song, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I have no real talent and just get by on talk?"

Song Zimo realized he had made an inappropriate analogy: "Don’t get me wrong, my comparison is limited to eloquence, not talent."

Tang Shun adjusted his hair: "That’s better, be clear when you speak, or it’s very easy to be misunderstood. I might not be exceedingly talented, but I’m at least at six or seven dou, right?"

"Not just six or seven dou, you’re at least at eight point five dou," Song Zimo said with a smile.

In fact, the group was just joking around earnestly.

"I think it’s not so simple. I’m just judging from what I’ve observed, not delving into their talents. Guan Ruyan obviously seems a bit hollow; he lacks confidence when he talks to us. Lu Xiaolu, on the other hand, is very confident, but he also acts very restrained, as if he’s worried about stepping out of an invisible boundary, afraid to go beyond it. Anyway, that’s the impression he gives me," Tang Shun voiced his thoughts.

"As for the paper that got him in trouble before, print it out for me to see when you have time. Dr. Song, when you have a moment, get in touch with him more, try to understand his situation better. This person is talented but seems to be in a state of despair. Find out the side reasons, whether his family is facing any difficulties."

Yang Ping instructed Song Zimo.
