Surgery Godfather-Chapter 468 - 426: Ideal

What is meant to come, will always come!

With Professor Liang’s arrival, all of the administrative departments of the hospital, such as the office, medical services, human resources, educational affairs, etc., started to operate.

An academician, national orthopedics chairman, and the director of orthopedics at Xiehe Hospital, any one of these titles is worthy of respect from Sanbo Hospital.

Professor Hu Guolin took Professor Liang from the airport, and Dean Xia and Director Han had been waiting early at the hospital gate.

As soon as Professor Liang got out of the car, he shook hands with Dean Xia and Director Han: "I’m causing you so much trouble, really causing you all trouble."

Dean Xia welcomed him to the office. Dean Xia was already aware of Xiehe Hospital’s opinion. Director Han had conveyed it, and Professor Hu Guolin had also had face-to-face discussions with Dean Xia and Director Han.

So, there was no need for beating around the bush when they met, they went straight to the point.

Professor Liang’s hurried journey was specifically focused on bringing Yang Ping on board.

Professor Liang had promised to give Sanbo 30 training seats every year, no department restrictions. This was equivalent to allowing Sanbo Hospital to send a doctor from nearly every department to Xiehe for further studies every year. No other hospital in the country had this treatment.

Xiehe wanted to establish a strategic partnership with Sanbo Hospital, to help Sanbo nurture talents, not only by regularly dispatching experts to provide hands-on training, but also allowing young doctors from Sanbo to complete 3+5 training at Xiehe. Three years as a resident and five years of specialist doctor training.

As long as Yang Ping was willing to go to Xiehe, he could still hold his position at Sanbo part-time, Xiehe would give him the most freedom.

Finally, Sanbo Hospital could rest assured that, once Yang Ping joined, Xiehe would cultivate him well. His current cultivation goal is to become a "Yangtze River Scholar" or an "Outstanding Young Talent", and his future goal is to become an academician.

Professor Liang’s conditions were not empty promises, but came with an authorization from the president of Xiehe. He kept his word and could sign the official agreement immediately.

The conditions put forward by Xiehe were simply perfect. They benefited both Yang Ping’s personal development and the development of Sanbo Hospital.

There was a reason why Professor Liang had invested so much this time.

Once, his most proud student had great talent, but he had gone to the United States and never returned. Now he was a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States, which always made Professor Liang hurt. Since then, he hadn’t seen any real geniuses.

Ever since Yang Ping appeared, Professor Liang spared no efforts, he was willing to pay whatever price to bring Yang Ping onboard.

Yang Ping’s talent far exceeded that of his past student.

He didn’t want to let such a talented student slip through his fingers again.

After listening to Professor Liang’s conditions, Dean Xia and Director Han had no reason to refute them. Director Han could only say: "Professor Liang, we need to discuss this with Yang Ping. As long as he agrees, we have no objections."

"Of course, these are the conditions we offer to the hospital, and the eight conditions we offer to Yang Ping, Director Hu should have conveyed them already. We all want to cultivate and care for him, so collectively raising him and putting him at Xiehe should be the best choice. I believe that you all also want Yang Ping to have a bigger platform," said Professor Liang confidently.

These conditions brought benefits to all three parties, no one had any losses.

---

Yang Ping was sleeping in the on-duty room---studying and reading books in his system space.

Director Han gave him a call stating that Professor Liang of Xiehe had arrived in the hospital office and wanted Yang Ping to come over for a meeting.

Professor Hu Guolin had informed Yang Ping earlier about the introduction conditions from Xiehe and hoped that Yang Ping could consider them.

In his heart, Professor Liang, as an academician, a respected and reputable individual, had personally taken the initiative and come to Sanbo from afar, offering such nearly perfect conditions. If Yang Ping stubbornly refused, he was really afraid of hurting the old man’s heart.

But being ambiguous would hurt the old man’s heart even more.

How should he refuse then? Only through an honest conversation!

In the hospital office, Professor Liang, Director Hu, Dean Xia, and Director Han were sitting together, chatting over tea.

Yang Ping knocked on the door, and Director Han said, "This is Professor Liang from Xiehe."

What orthopedic doctor wouldn’t recognize Professor Liang? He was the national chairman of orthopedics after all.

"Hello, Professor Liang!" Yang Ping called out respectfully.

Without arrogance or impatience, not taking pride in his talents, excellent, Professor Liang said as he set down his teacup, his fondness growing.

"You already know the situation, Professor Liang has come to speak to you alone." Dean Xia stood up, he and Director Han prepared to leave to give them privacy for their talk.

Director Han advised Yang Ping, "Xiao Yang, follow your heart, don’t let personal feelings affect your choices. No matter what you decide, we will support you. Especially since Professor Liang says, even if you go to the Xiehe Hospital, you can still hold a position at Sanbo Hospital. So, don’t worry about our feelings, we sincerely hope you can move onto a bigger platform."

Only Professor Liang and Yang Ping remained in the room, Professor Liang, donned in black-framed glasses, exuded a scholarly aura.

"Xiao Yang, I’ve looked at your surgeries and research papers, and they were quite remarkable. Our offer to you at Xiehe is sincere. Whether for you personally or for Sanbo Hospital, it is a positive move. Our country needs talents like you. At Xiehe, you can exert greater capabilities and achieve better results while also reciprocating Sanbo’s development."

Professor Liang kindly said, then clearly explained the conditions offered to the hospital and to Yang Ping as an individual.

"When I was young, I thought it made no difference where my contributions came from. But later I realized that capable people must make the greatest contributions from bigger platforms and higher positions. The greater one’s ability, the greater the responsibility. High achievers should actively step up and take higher positions. What are your thoughts? I would like to hear. Regardless of your decision, I can accept it."

Professor Liang spoke earnestly.

Yang Ping was clear about his thoughts. He did not plan on going to either Xiehe or 301 simply to brag about his capabilities.

It was not a capricious decision but a thoroughly considered one.

Yang Ping had his own ideals and he was clear about his life planning.

Xiehe and 301 are established hospitals, everything there is already mature, but Sanbo is a new hospital.

The new hospital can be changed according to his ideals. He wants to innovate medical techniques and reform the hospital.

The hospital is the carrier of medical techniques and only the combination of the two can better cure patients.

He wants to establish a new salary system, where doctors are given a fixed high salary, the income is decoupled from workload, allowing doctors to focus on treating patients.

Create a research fund, powered by community donations, to provide ongoing financial support for research.

Establish a strict and efficient talent-training system. After doctoral graduation, engage in three years of residency training, then five years of specialized training. In this way, they can truly be competent and not wait for positions based on seniority.

He wants to create an efficient laboratory, encouraging imaginative individuals to freely explore the mysteries of the human body. The researchers can decline all social engagements, spend all day researching medicine, never fret over necessities, and not worry about publications and professional titles.

All of these could not be realized in Xiehe or 301 but could in Sanbo.

That’s because Sanbo has Dean Xia with his reforming spirit and sincerity, and supportive Director Han.

Sanbo Hospital, funded by overseas Chinese donations, has specific features allowing it to bear the risks of change.

After listening to Yang Ping, Professor Liang stared at this young man, overwhelmed by the depth of his ideals and exceeding his expectations.

His sense of responsibility and mission likewise far exceeded his expectations.

"I respect your choice. If everyone were like you, bravely taking on responsibilities, we would not have so many talents staying overseas without returning. They take the country’s money, learn knowledge, and not only not contribute, but also complain about everything. Despite their grand reasons for not returning from studying abroad, if everything were already perfect, why would we need them to come back to help? Actually, our country is already doing quite well, and we can say that this is the best era. If everyone could complain less, do more practical things, and commit wholeheartedly to their work, that will aggregate into the country’s progression." Professor Liang emotionally said.

"What about establishing a partnership? I support you!" Professor Liang extended his hand.

Yang Ping did not expect Professor Liang to understand so thoroughly, he hesitated for a moment, then shook hands with Professor Liang.

"Are these your true feelings? You won’t go to the United States or Europe and never return, right?" Professor Liang candidly asked.

Yang Ping shook his head: "Thanks for understanding, Professor Liang. I will stay at Sanbo Hospital, remembering your words. This is the best era, and we should all contribute."

The office door opened, and Professor Liang came out with a smile on his face.

Looking at Yang Ping, he was also smiling.

Dean Xia and Director Han guessed, "Did the discussion go well?"

Professor Hu Guolin came over. Professor Liang said, "Continue with your studies, I need to go back."

"Was it a success?" Director Hu asked softly.
