Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 497 - 398: Yanjing University Impressions_2
"I just did some supportive work."
Zhao Heng said modestly. It’s better to say that Li Hongwei and Zhao Heng co-developed the siRNA gel project, rather than saying Li Hongwei did it himself.
After all, Zhao Heng’s knowledge and skills, especially in the field of nanomedicine, all originate from Professor Li Hongwei.
So for Zhao Heng, there’s nothing to be proud of.
"No, your work is very important. Your efforts have greatly supplemented and enhanced my work, particularly in the siRNA gel project."
Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s humble words, Professor Li Hongwei gently shook his head and said.
Working with Zhao Heng in research, the most profound feeling Professor Li Hongwei has, is that Zhao Heng always sees the areas where he is less perfect. To put it bluntly, Zhao Heng hits his sore spots and itch points, almost like another self observing from the side.
Sometimes, Li Hongwei even feels as though he’s looking into a mirror.
For those doing scientific research, encountering an assistant who aligns so well with oneself is truly a dream come true.
"You’ve come this time for academic matters, right? You don’t need to worry about that. Not only myself, but someone from the department has already spoken to the university committee." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Moreover, young Zhao, considering your current level, honestly speaking, at Yanjing University, even I can’t teach you much more."
Knowing what Zhao Heng came for, Professor Li Hongwei spoke gently before Zhao Heng could even speak.
"Thank you, Professor."
"Actually, if there’s any activity at the university, I can come over as well. Things have now settled down, it’s not as busy as it was a while ago."
Zhao Heng said.
Zhao Heng greatly appreciates Professor Li Hongwei’s care and concern.
No matter the field, working alone isn’t effective; the concept that ’gold will always shine’ is somewhat outdated in modern society.
Even if you’re gold, someone needs to discover you, value you, and appreciate you. Otherwise, even if you have the essence of gold, hidden in the depths of the mountains, you’d be no different from sand and dirt.
"You’re young, so you should participate in more youth activities. Well, there’s a student committee at the university; I’ll recommend you as a member. If there are activities you want to organize or participate in, fit them into your schedule."
Li Hongwei thought for a moment and said.
Currently, if one speaks of the most influential professor in the research field at Yanjing University, none surpass Li Hongwei.
As a giant who has consecutively produced achievements that could earn the highest technology advancement awards in the bio and medical fields in the country, he’s unique.
Having served as the Dean of the School of Biological Sciences for many years, Li Hongwei became the vice president of Yanjing University after multifunctional stem cell results were published.
For a scientist, becoming the vice president of Yanjing University is the pinnacle.
Because after that, the position of president isn’t solely determined by scientific achievements.
This need not be elaborated here.
For someone as influential as Li Hongwei at Yanjing University, arranging a position on the student committee is merely a matter of words.
"Okay."
Zhao Heng could only nod. Li Hongwei treats Zhao Heng as a genuine student and research partner. This kind of relationship can endure for a lifetime.
There’s still a long time ahead; perhaps in the future, Li Hongwei might need Zhao Heng’s support!
Next, Li Hongwei made a call to the university office, explained the situation, and Zhao Heng naturally emerged from the lab to report to the administrative office.
The feeling of reporting as a new student, Zhao Heng experienced it only on his first day at university.
Now it feels like revisiting an old dream, though currently, his status and position compared to starting university are vastly different, and his emotions are naturally quite different.
As Zhao Heng was heading to the administrative office from the lab, Xu Hongdou called, asking where he was.
Soon enough, Xu Hongdou found Zhao Heng, who was on his way to the administrative office.
"Weren’t you visiting your alma mater to reminisce? How come you’re back so soon?"
Seeing Xu Hongdou looking rather bored, Zhao Heng couldn’t help but ask.
Visiting your alma mater should be touching; you’ll likely reflect on something, meet some teachers, etc. But looking at Xu Hongdou, it’s as if the trip made her even more bored.
"I couldn’t find anyone to chat with. I wandered alone, feeling very bored."
Xu Hongdou complained.
There’s always a discrepancy between imagination and reality.
Imagined return to alma mater: All teachers remember you, engaging conversations, reminiscing about youth, promising to meet again.
Real return to alma mater: Except for the security guard, you don’t know anyone; the teachers struggle to recall you; wandering alone for half a day feels worse than not visiting.
"Brother-in-law, where are you heading?"
Feeling bored herself, Xu Hongdou asked Zhao Heng what he was going to do.
"Administrative office, to report."
Zhao Heng said briefly.
"That’s it?"
Xu Hongdou asked.
"And join some student committee or the like."
Zhao Heng thought for a moment and added.
"The student committee? The student committee at Yanjing University is impressive. If you can join, not just as a member, but even if you hold a minor position, it’ll be great for networking in the future."
Xu Hongdou said with some surprise.
Though in the eyes of most students, student councils might seem unappealing, at a prestigious place like Yanjing University with rich traditions, the student council, or student committee, is still well maintained. At least, student bureaucracy is rare.
"Are members so impressive?"
Zhao Heng asked casually.
Li Hongwei made a call to get him a member position; he thought it was a casual thing.
But hearing Xu Hongdou say it, it seems quite impressive.
"Brother-in-law, you might not know this, but the student committee members at Yanjing University are guaranteed to become selected civil servants after graduation. It’s a place everyone vies to enter."
Xu Hongdou explained a bit.
These selected civil servants are highly sought-after positions aimed at promising student leaders during university, essentially future reserve cadres, with swift promotion and bright prospects. For young individuals aspiring in this direction, becoming a selected civil servant is undoubtedly a top choice.
It’s somewhat akin to the olden days of taking civil service exams to become officials, though different in form and content, the essence is the same.
"I’m not into civil service exams, it’s useless for me."
Zhao Heng thought and said.
"It symbolizes that you thrived at university."
Xu Hongdou added.
Soon enough, Zhao Heng and Xu Hongdou arrived at the administrative office. Upon mentioning his name, the staff warmly completed Zhao Heng’s procedures, then a young man wearing glasses, looking quite refined, approached Zhao Heng and said, "Senior, new committee members need to show their face. Coincidentally, we have an event today; would you like to come over?"
This refined young man is naturally an external liaison officer of the student committee, responsible for organizing and communicating various events.
"Alright."
Zhao Heng wasn’t surprised that this refined boy knew he was a committee member right away. After all, Li Hongwei, a giant among giants and Vice President of Yanjing University, made the call, so the administrative office naturally treated this seriously.
Though the student committee is quite prestigious among students, compared to the administrative office, it holds little significance.
Until leaving the administrative office, Xu Hongdou was still in a state of amazement.
"Brother-in-law, you’re a committee member? You became a member right after joining?"
Xu Hongdou exclaimed with disbelief. Getting a committee position immediately upon enrollment indicates significant sway within the university!
"The professor arranged it, saying it would make participation in activities easier in the future."
Zhao Heng said nonchalantly.
This is the difference in perspective and status. In society, Zhao Heng is already a department head at Eastern Hospital, essentially a technical authority.
As for being a committee member, that’s valuable only in the small circle of university life; upon graduation and entering society, unless aiming for selection as a civil servant, it holds little significance.
