Chapter 409: Chapter 290: An Unexpected Direct PhD Admission, Returning to Jiangcheng

"Freelance surgery?"

Upon hearing Vice Dean Liu Yuan’s words, Qin Feng frowned slightly,

"What’s the situation?"

Jiangcheng City First Hospital was a blessing for him. Whether it was Dean Zhang Tong or the department heads, they all trusted and were friendly with him wholeheartedly.

If the hospital hadn’t gone against all opposition back then, allowing him, a mere intern, to rise to prominence, he might still be a resident doctor today.

Although he had been in Beijing for half a year, he still longed for the days in Jiangcheng, making one yearn for it.

Of course, Qin Feng had also elevated Jiangcheng City First Hospital to a higher level. The stem cell transplant center he established was quite famous in Su Province.

Even on a national scale, it was quite remarkable!

Therefore, Qin Feng and Jiangcheng City First Hospital were mutually grateful.

"Here’s the thing, half a month ago, a newborn was born in our hospital’s obstetrics department. However, after birth, the condition didn’t seem right; the ECG was abnormal.

Later, we suspected it might be congenital heart disease and began detailed examinations.

It turned out to be congenital mitral valve regurgitation, severe!"

Click~

Just as Liu Yuan finished speaking, Qin Feng was greatly shocked.

Severe congenital mitral valve regurgitation, one of the deadliest congenital heart diseases!

"Alright, I understand, Dean Liu. I’ll apply with the department tomorrow."

He thought for a moment and then agreed.

Given Jiangcheng City First Hospital’s current capabilities and conditions, such a case cannot be operated on.

The key issue is that this is a newborn, demanding extraordinarily high precision in operations, even top experts would be daunted.

"Really? That’s wonderful, hahaha!"

Over the phone, Liu Yuan laughed joyfully upon hearing Qin Feng’s words,

"As long as you can come, the fee for the freelance surgery is negotiable. Everyone hasn’t seen you in a long time; they miss you terribly.

Zhang Fan didn’t sleep well all night knowing we invited you for freelance surgery.

Dean Zhang also often talks about you. He’s about to be promoted to the top position in the health department."

"Really! Please congratulate the dean on my behalf for his promotion!"

Qin Feng was quite surprised, not expecting Zhang Tong to advance so quickly, reaching that position in just a few years.

"You’d better tell him yourself when you return, hehehe~"

"Alright then, I’ll confirm the time tomorrow and fly back."

Qin Feng agreed.

"Great, we’ll be waiting for you!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Feng took Liu Yan’Er home.

Upon hearing that Qin Feng would also be returning to Jiangcheng City First Hospital for freelance surgery, their schedule coincided perfectly.

The next day,

As soon as Qin Feng arrived in the department, he headed straight to Meng Dawei’s office to discuss returning Liu Yan’Er to Jiangcheng as well as the freelance surgery.

"Alright, go ahead, neither of these two big matters can be delayed, hahaha~"

Meng Dawei didn’t say much and directly agreed.

Qin Feng also didn’t have any leftover surgeries, and the patient transfer could be normally handled.

Over the past six months, the entire intensive care department became utterly convinced by this low-educational-background newcomer entering this undergraduate program.

The department, which was previously overwhelmed with various surgeries and patients, found that Qin Feng directly undertook nearly one-third of the surgeries.

Usual cardiovascular and cerebrovascular surgeries saw their operation times cut by more than half, with a 100% success rate and not a single issue occurring.

Just based on this skill, there’s no one in the entire Peking Union Medical College Hospital who can match it.

Even the hospital leadership came to know his name and even revisited Qin Feng’s background investigation several times.

If not for issues concerning educational background and tenure, they’d have seriously contemplated promoting him.

"How long do you need?"

"I’ll pack tomorrow and leave the day after, is five days okay?"

"I’ll give you a week, finish up and come back."

"Love you, Director!"

Hearing he was granted a week off, Qin Feng was very pleased,

"Then I’ll get back to work."

"Oh wait, sign this before you leave."

As he was getting up to leave, Meng Dawei raised his hand to stop him and took out a document from the drawer.

"What’s this?"

Qin Feng received the file, opening it while asking curiously.

"This is your direct doctoral materials, our hospital is directly recommending you, just in time to coordinate with your graduate studies and shorten four years to three.

This was passed by the hospital’s executive committee, a special exception just for you.

Your fortune is indeed good, graduating from a second-tier medical school yet enjoying the opportunity for unified 8-year master’s and doctoral studies that others get over at least ten years; you are indeed a step ahead now, hehehe~"

Upon hearing the director’s words, Qin Feng glimpsed at the document.

Indeed it was his recommendation materials for direct doctoral studies at the Peking Union Medical College Hospital!

His eyes brightened, this solved a major issue for him!

Now with five years just upgraded to an attending physician license, the hospital directly opened this educational pathway for him.

"Director, our hospital is sincerely..."

After a brief pause, Qin Feng, cooling down, softly inquired,

"having any plans for me?"

"You cheeky brat, what do you think?"

Meng Dawei glanced at him amusedly,

"Intensive care needs an associate director, do well."

Associate Director of Intensive Care Medicine!

With just a few words, Qin Feng was greatly astounded!

It was like a thunderbolt!

To imagine, after only half a year, receiving such significant attention?

Peking Union Medical College Hospital’s intensive care department is the top national department, reaching the director position, who wouldn’t be a top-notch expert, a medical authority?

Right before him stood an example, Meng Dawei!

And now, he was actually considered a candidate by the hospital.

This honor, Qin Feng only felt like it was a huge mountain, heavily weighing on his heart and shoulders.

"Okay, sign it."

Meng Dawei handed him a pen, smiling.

After a brief pause, Qin Feng took the pen, signing his name at the end of the document.

This was the greatest pressure he had ever faced since obtaining the system, and it was also the first such significant opportunity.

In just five years, he’d entered the doorstep of Jiuzhou’s top medical field.

Who could have imagined!

"Do well, don’t let us down; go ahead."

Meng Dawei nodded in satisfaction, looking at his signature.

"Rest assured, Director."

Qin Feng nodded vigorously, a smile on his face.

Saying that, he turned and left.

Meng Dawei put the materials back in the drawer, looking at Qin Feng’s departing figure, with a complicated expression.

He was tired~

After over 20 years of developing the intensive care department to its current state, he was exhausted, his body weakened.

Though only in his 50s, he had the body of someone almost 70; the pair of hands that saved countless people now trembled after holding a scalpel for more than five hours.

Meng Dawei seemed to see his end approaching.

And before that, the intensive care department mustn’t fall!

This is a beginning for Jiuzhou’s intensive care, also a monument and a lighthouse.

Someone is needed to lead it further~

And Qin Feng was the person he and Yuan Bin valued most!

This is also why Yuan Bin insisted on retaining Qin Feng at the executive meetings, even granting him full surgery rights.

They had selfish motives, and only Qin Feng could fulfill it.

....

The next day, Qin Feng and Liu Yan’Er spent the day buying supplies, packing all the good food.

On the third day, the two boarded a flight headed for Jiangcheng.

Liu Yan’Er was on vacation, planning to stay home for some time; Qin Feng would return to Beijing later by himself.

"Dear passengers, the flight is about to land at Jiangcheng Airport, please fasten your seatbelts, as the plane is about to descend."

"This flight has arrived at Jiangcheng Airport, Chuannan Airlines wishes you a pleasant journey!"

Qin Feng and Liu Yan’Er disembarked with their luggage, entering the underground parking lot directly from the VIP terminal.

The driver had been waiting for a while, and Qin Feng headed directly to the hospital, where patients awaited him.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the First Hospital in the city, he saw a bright red banner hung over the hospital gate.

"Warmly Welcome Director Qin Feng Home!"

The golden letters were very noticeable, attracting many passing glances.

And the name Qin Feng was already well-known throughout Jiangcheng!

"Brother Feng!"

He hadn’t even gotten out of the car yet when he saw Zhao Yitian rushing over, laughing as he opened the car door.

"How did you know it was me?"

Qin Feng curiously asked.

"Oh! The only one driving a Maybach S680 in Jiangcheng, stopping at the entrance, would be you."

Zhao Yitian confidently replied aloud,

"Come on, the dean and everyone are waiting for you."

Saying this, Qin Feng got out and followed him.

At the steps at the emergency entrance, stood two familiar rows of faces.

"Welcome home, Director Qin!"

Upon his appearance, Zhou Xianren waved, and everyone shouted in unison.

Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a lump in his throat, his eyes slightly moist....
