Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 358 - 331: Double Blessings (Part 2)

But there are simply too many outstanding people at Yanjing University.

At Yanjing University, there’s a saying: if you feel you’re excellent in a certain field, there will definitely be someone who surpasses you in that field, and besides that, this person will have other strengths even greater.

"Hmm... Good luck, Assistant Wei."

Zhao Heng paused for a bit, then said.

If he were to say something about staying at the university, that would be too pretentious of him.

After a while, Professor Li Hongwei returned to the lab.

"Professor, why did the dean ask for you?"

Seeing Li Hongwei return, Wei Jinghao couldn’t help but ask.

"Xiao Wei, you go ahead and get busy, I have something to discuss with Xiao Zhao."

Li Hongwei did not answer Wei Jinghao but rather asked him to leave first.

"...Okay, Professor."

Hearing Li Hongwei’s words, Wei Jinghao paused for a moment, then replied.

After Wei Jinghao left, Zhao Heng then asked Li Hongwei with some curiosity, "Professor, is there something up?"

"Yes, the joint master’s and PhD program spot we talked about has been approved."

Li Hongwei slowly said.

If it were just about approving a spot in the joint program, Li Hongwei wouldn’t have needed to personally seek out Xiao Zhao.

This spot, just like what Wei Jinghao mentioned, is related to a teaching position.

A teaching position at Yanjing University has always been the most challenging to obtain among all the universities in the country.

To secure a teaching position at the university, there are only two possibilities: one is to stay directly at the school and slowly get promoted from a teaching assistant, and the other is to achieve highly significant results in a certain field and get appointed as a visiting professor.

With the status of Yanjing University, to be appointed as a visiting professor in the country at least requires having received a top national scientific progress award of that level.

"Professor, is this spot a direct pass to stay at the university?"

Zhao Heng couldn’t help but ask.

What Wei Jinghao mentioned earlier made Zhao Heng realize the significance of this spot, and he also understood that Li Hongwei truly valued him.

"Did Xiao Wei tell you that?"

Li Hongwei frowned and asked.

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded, as it wasn’t something that couldn’t be spoken of.

"Xiao Wei, though talented, is far behind you; there’s still a bit more he needs to qualify to stay at the university."

Li Hongwei said frankly, being a straightforward researcher, he did not mince his words.

In Yanjing University, and even nationwide, people like Wei Jinghao, who have some talent but pursue a PhD just to stay at the university without much passion or interest in research, are quite common and generally not worth much attention.

"..."

Hearing Li Hongwei’s words, Zhao Heng fell silent. Recalling how hopeful Wei Jinghao looked while talking about staying at the university, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but feel slightly pained.

There’s a saying that lies and deceit can’t harm someone who’s prepared, but truth, sometimes, is the sharp blade that cuts deep.

Compared to others, Li Hongwei is considered a very good mentor to his doctoral students.

Some mentors practically treat their students as workhorses, which leads to news about doctoral students committing suicide because they cannot graduate three to five years overdue.

However, compared to society, the school environment is already quite gentle.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore."

Seeing Zhao Heng fall silent for a moment, Li Hongwei continued.

Zhao Heng stayed in the lab until six in the evening. As he came out of the lab and reached the school gate, he saw Wang Yaoqing already waiting for him.

Wang Yaoqing had called Zhao Heng around noon, so he knew Zhao Heng was conducting experiments at Yanjing University.

However, it’s apparent how much importance Wang Yaoqing places on Zhao Heng, as he personally comes to pick him up each time.

"Dr. Zhao, finished with your experiment work?"

Seeing Zhao Heng come out, Wang Yaoqing asked with a smile.

"Yes, all done."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Shall we go for dinner then?"

Wang Yaoqing asked again.

"Actually, Old Wang, you don’t have to come to pick me up; if there’s anything, you can just talk over the phone."

Zhao Heng still felt that having Wang Yaoqing come to pick him up each time was a bit too troublesome for him.

Wang Yaoqing is at least a small businessman with assets worth tens of millions, so personally coming to pick up someone each time seems a bit beneath him.

"I’m free anyway, and we are partners, there’s much more time ahead for us to work together,"

Wang Yaoqing laughed and said, clearly in a very good mood.

"The hospital deal went through?"

Seeing the happy expression on Wang Yaoqing’s face, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but ask.

But it seemed unlikely, after all, it had only been a day, and even if he had found someone to help, things usually don’t move with such efficiency.

"Yes, most of it’s settled, in fact, the hospital even approached me actively."

Wang Yaoqing nodded, saying calmly.

Previously when he approached them, they were indifferent, but now they reached out to discuss the software integration, and were very courteous.

This is why Wang Yaoqing is in excellent spirits.

"Who is the person on the business card?"

Seeing how effective it was, Zhao Heng also became curious. After all, when Gao Jun handed him the card, he didn’t mention who the person was, only that he should find this person.

"Dr. Zhao, you don’t know?"

Wang Yaoqing asked.

He assumed Zhao Heng had reached out to this person since, during their contact, the person kept mentioning Zhao Heng and his teacher, Gao Jun.

They even sent regards to Old Gao, making Wang Yaoqing think Zhao Heng had found this contact himself.

"The business card was given by my teacher."

Zhao Heng explained.

"The person on the card is the head of the hospital department."

Wang Yaoqing explained.

"Dr. Zhao, your teacher Gao Jun, does he have a significant background?"

After a pause, Wang Yaoqing asked further.

"My teacher’s father is the number two in the department."

Zhao Heng thought for a moment, then decided to tell Wang Yaoqing, as they were very close partners and needed to know at least this much about each other.

"The number two in the department? Old Gao?"

Wang Yaoqing was shocked. Although he figured Zhao Heng’s teacher Gao Jun was well-connected, because how else could he procure such a business card, knowing the person on the card was the department leader.

But such a significant background was something Wang Yaoqing could never have imagined.

With such connections in the system, not to mention selling medical software, it would be enough to make a fortune even if it were selling medical devices.

"Yes, you should know, but don’t spread it around,"

Zhao Heng said calmly.

From knowing Gao Jun until now, Zhao Heng had never met Gao Jun’s father, the legendary Old Gao.

Maybe Gao Jun felt the time wasn’t right yet?

Or they simply didn’t need to meet.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."

Wang Yaoqing quickly replied.

Now, he was even more elated, feeling he had hit the jackpot!

It seemed his luck was finally turning for the better!

"We should just focus on doing a good job with our software."

As if understanding what Wang Yaoqing was thinking, Zhao Heng reminded him.

"Of course, our software is genuine, and even without connections, we could slowly break into the market; it’d just take a bit longer."

Wang Yaoqing responded.

He had confidence in the software he developed with Zhao Heng.

While they could gradually open up the market themselves, with such a favorable wind, it surely wouldn’t hurt to utilize it.

After all, the sooner they enter the market, the more firmly they can secure their share of it.

"Dr. Zhao, shall we eat at the usual place?"

Wang Yaoqing asked again.

"Yes, and invite Shu Xin along; there are some video-related things I’d like to consult her on."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Alright."

Wang Yaoqing agreed.
