Chapter 263: Chapter 264: Perfect Grade Tendon, the Thesis is Coming Out (Extra for Provocation!)

After Chen Cang’s words, Wang Yushan and the others were dumbfounded…

Wang Yushan forced an awkward smile, “This… Director, it’s not just up to me to decide, it depends on everyone’s vote. However, when it comes to voting, the main considerations are experience and qualifications, research, and publications. If you’re thinking about becoming a director, you might want to consider publishing some articles!”

Wang Yushan thought Chen Cang wanted to join the board of directors of the Chinese Medical Association’s Hand Surgery Branch, which would indeed be very difficult!

Meanwhile, Tan Zhonglin was utterly baffled.

I… I’m not even a director yet, and you, how old are you? You want to be a director already…

In fact, Chen Cang only wanted to be a director of the Dongyang Branch.

A beautiful misunderstanding made Chen Cang resolve to focus on his articles once he got back.

Chang Honglei said, “Chen, don’t worry, I’ll include you in my new research proposal. Your research achievements will skyrocket immediately!”

Tan Zhonglin was taken aback; he really wanted to ask if he could join too.

Chen Cang nodded, it seemed that becoming a director wasn’t hard after all…

I was lied to by Director An before…

With these thoughts, Chen Cang pondered all the way back.

Upon returning to the hospital, Qin Yue the little ass-kisser darted over like a cat, trailing behind Chen Cang’s butt, and gossiped eagerly, “How did it go, Chen? My male god is okay, isn’t he?”

Chen Cang, speechless, snorted in derision and didn’t bother with Qin Yue, striding forward, “Look at you, groveling like a dog, have some self-respect…”

Seeing this, Qin Yue quickened his pace, and while walking, scoffed, “Ha! You’re just sour and jealous. If you had my man’s piano skills, I’d fawn over you too!”

Chen Cang suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Qin Yue, “Are you serious?”

Qin Yue, following behind Chen Cang’s butt, didn’t expect him to turn suddenly; her face nearly planted into Chen Cang’s chest.

She hastily stepped back, pouting and huffing, “A spoken word, a galloping horse—it cannot be chased back!”

Chen Cang’s face brightened with delight, tempted as he pondered the best approach.

Qin Yue also followed Chen Cang into the locker room, asking, “So, what actually happened today? Come on, tell me, was there a big scene?”

Chen Cang sighed helplessly, “You really owe me one. If it weren’t for me today, your male god would’ve kissed his piano-playing goodbye for life.”

Qin Yue rolled her eyes, “Look at you, so full of yourself. Did you see? The news has already been released. Xing Yu’s surgery went smoothly, and the experts believe it won’t affect his piano-playing, but he will need to undergo a period of recovery training. That’s why he has refused all commercial performances for the meantime.”

“Today’s surgery lineup was filled with elites. Director Wang from the Six Hospitals of Modu came, and so did Director Chang from Jishuitan! These are big names in the field of hand surgery, no wonder the surgery went so smoothly!”

“So many experts, Chen, I bet you didn’t even get to see Xing Yu, right? You were just there to make up the numbers…”

Chen Cang sighed, yeah, they all came, they were my assistants, women, really are shallow, to believe the news! And it’s entertainment news, at that!

With that thought, he shook his head, “Hey, Qin Yue, I’ve realized that your very existence is to prove one phrase wrong!”

Qin Yue turned around, her face full of curiosity, “What’s that?”

Chen Cang, having changed into his white coat, stood up and walked outside, “Big boobs, no brains!”

…

…

In the afternoon, Chen Cang performed several tendon suture surgeries, and Qin Yue’s gaze towards him clearly harbored a few more ounces of hostility… and murderous intent!

The look in her eyes made Chen Cang’s heart flutter with anxiety!

After work, to prevent Xiao Qin from stabbing him in the back and for the sake of his own health and safety, he reluctantly continued to treat her to a meal of tendons and knuckles.

Speaking of which, stitching tendons in the afternoon and eating tendon dishes in the evening had a unique flavor of their own, quite energizing, with the only downside being that they got stuck in the teeth.

Chen Cang dared not mention this, for fear that Qin Yue would surely claim it was a sign of kidney deficiency.

After a satisfying meal and an additional cup of Yi Fang milk tea, Qin Yue’s mood improved, and she once again transformed into a flattering Qin Tending Dog.

It must be said, Qin Yue’s ability to bounce back was quite impressive, although she often complained and got angry, but… a cup of milk tea could solve it all, and if that wasn’t enough, just add a hotpot meal.

In any case, this young lady had a really great character, and was hardworking and resilient; she had not had an easy time following Chen Cang around lately.

Up early and back late, operating during the day, and doing scientific research overtime at night.

So treating Qin Yue to meals was something Chen Cang didn’t begrudge at all; she was performing so many surgeries with him every day that not just a meal, but providing her meals every day would be fine.

Moreover, Chen Cang’s financial situation had improved quite a bit; in one month, he did three breast augmentation surgeries, plus a few cosmetic designs, raking in more than three million in total.

It had to be admitted that although there were wealthy clients, they weren’t exactly plentiful; this realization somewhat shattered Chen Cang’s dream of getting rich through breast augmentation surgeries.

Because he had been quite busy lately, Chen Cang hadn’t had the chance to look at houses yet; with the National Day holiday just around the corner, he planned to take his parents to see houses.

After all… for people from his hometown, buying a house in the city was a matter of great pride.

With his dad, Chen Dahai’s inability to keep things to himself for three sentences, he’d surely go back, buy good liquor, cook up several dishes, invite a few friends over to eat, drink, and boast, wishing the entire village knew about it.

Of course, while buying a house was one thing, his parents might not actually want to stay with him in the city since they had lived their whole lives in their hometown and were used to it. With all the neighbors and the habit of dropping by each other’s homes, Chen Dahai’s capabilities couldn’t be parted from the home either. As a chef in the village, he was busy visiting a hundred homes – one family hosting an event today, another family inviting him tomorrow – Chen Dahai felt fulfilled, happy, and content.

Being respected at home gave him some sense of prestige, and surely living in the city wouldn’t be as comfortable as living at home.

After all, what’s most important for people is to feel comfortable, and the feeling of being respected and needed is one of the most vital human desires.

After leaving Tian Street, Qin Yue, sipping her milk tea, sighed, “Chen Cang, it’s been a month. Don’t you have any plans yet? The two or three external hard drives I bought are almost full, and the data collection is piled higher than my bed in my bedroom!”

“If you don’t figure out a research direction soon, all our hard work this period will have been for nothing, and that’s several hundred yuan of my face mask money!”

Chen Cang smiled and said, “Soon, in a few days, we’re going to publish an awesome paper! I’ll list you as the first author.”

Qin Yue rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, “Don’t get any ideas about my teacher, you know. My teacher doesn’t know anyone on the surgical journal’s editorial board.”

…

After dropping Qin Yue off at the hospital staff residence building, Chen Cang went straight home, unaware that from a window on the 16th floor, an old face peered out, muttering to himself while staring at Chen Cang’s retreating figure for a long time.

“Old Qin, what are you doing at the window?”

Qin Xiaoyuan sighed, “Just looking at the scenery!”

In reality, what scenery? He was probably contemplating… his future son-in-law!

Seeing his daughter’s absent-mindedness these past few days, Old Qin felt a pang of heartache.

…

…

After a busy day, Chen Cang freshened up and lay in bed, turning on the virtual screen.

[Ding! Would you like to activate the Tang Suture Method Intensive Training?]

Chen Cang’s experience with the Tendon Suture Surgery skill was already at its maximum, but the upgrade just hadn’t happened yet.

Now, however, Chen Cang had a premonition that after special training in the Tang Suture Method, his breakthrough was imminent!

With that thought, Chen Cang began the intensive training!

Afterward, his vision changed and he was once again in the operating room.

A man in his fifties wearing glasses appeared before him. Without asking, it must be Professor Tang.

Chen Cang bowed to say hello, and the other party also began the intensive training!

At first, Chen Cang was skeptical about why it was called intensive training.

But as soon as the training started, he understood why.

After mastering the Tang Suture Method, Chen Cang began suture training.

However, after each training session, the tendons he’d sutured would suddenly magnify, becoming as thick as he was, and what happened next completely dumbfounded him.

Because…

He could actually see the tendons he sutured moving about and slowly healing, as well as changing continuously during the intensive training process!

At this point, Chen Cang was astonished.

Such incredible high-tech!

After every suture, Chen Cang could precisely identify where the problem lay and how to correct it in the future by observing the growth and healing trends of the tendon!

Again and again!

Chen Cang finally realized the brilliance of the Tang method, using a special technique of 6-strand suturing to ingeniously shorten the functional recovery period of the flexor tendon to just 12 hours, allowing for rehabilitation and reducing the likelihood of adhesive damage.

Logically, six-strand suturing should increase adhesions, but the Tang method uses its own advantages to compensate for its shortcomings, reducing rehab time to improve treatment efficiency.

With each learning session, Chen Cang couldn’t help but marvel at why the Tang Suture Method was considered the primary suturing technique for treating Tang’s partition syndrome.

As time ticked away, Chen Cang not only learned the Tang method but also profoundly understood it.

When the system prompt told Chen Cang the training results and asked whether to exit, it was the first time he chose to shake his head!

Because he seemed to have also found deficiencies in the Tang method.

Every method constantly evolves and improves, and so does the Tang method. What Chen Cang needed to explore next was how to refine the Tang method.

Once this idea sprouted, Chen Cang couldn’t contain it any longer.

He hurriedly started his training.

The structure and function of flexor tendons and extensor tendons are different, which means that suturing them requires focusing on different aspects.

Time seemed to lose its significance here.

And Chen Cang seemed to have forgotten the existence of time.

He simply kept repeating the process over and over!

[Intensive Training Card] is a great item. Unfortunately, in his youthful ignorance, he didn’t cherish it and upgraded his appendectomy skills to perfect level.

And now, Chen Cang had not received another [Intensive Training Card] since then.

It wasn’t easy to get a chance for special training from daily missions. How could Chen Cang not seize it well?

And today’s [Intensive Training] has been particularly enlightening for Chen Cang.

He had no idea when he would encounter such an opportunity for intensive training again, a chance not only for training but also to observe tendon growth.

Finally!

He didn’t know how long it had been!

Chen Cang finally burst into laughter.

The opportunity for intensive training this time was too rare, and too profoundly beneficial for his own improvement.

He had completely mastered the Tang method.

The Chen method had also been researched by him.

Exiting the system space satisfied, Chen Cang suddenly heard the system notification sound.

[Ding! Congratulations, your Tendon Suture Surgery has been upgraded to: Perfect!]

Chen Cang had expected this. During the learning process inside, he could say that he had integrated all the methods. He had not only summarized various suturing methods but had also identified their strengths and weaknesses. This included dozens of suturing methods, which he had now thoroughly mastered!

At this moment, Chen Cang wasn’t the least bit sleepy.

He got up, turned on his computer, and after thinking for a while, he directly started writing his first impressive scientific paper!

“Selecting the Development Direction and Trend of the Tang Suture Method by Analyzing its Strengths and Weaknesses”

This was just a simple review, but Chen Cang wrote some new and limited things that were truly eye-opening.

It matched his current level and would surely attract the attention of big names!

There was a lot in Chen Cang’s mind, but as the saying goes, one has to eat one bite at a time. He couldn’t achieve success overnight. If he suddenly came out with a groundbreaking paper, it would definitely cause a stir.

So, before that, Chen Cang decided to test the waters with this review.

Going forward, Chen Cang would take it slow, gradually bringing his knowledge to light!

He believed that if Professor Tang saw this paper, he would certainly be very interested.

Chen Cang wrote quickly, finishing the draft in just over three hours!

The paper was over 4,000 words, focusing on an in-depth analysis and exploration of the Tang method and its future development directions.

When signing off on the paper, Chen Cang placed Qin Yue as the first author, while he remained the corresponding author!

ps: Three chapters, about 14,000 words in total, equivalent to seven regular chapters. I ask for everyone’s support! Thank you.

Thanks to the Grandmaster Miss “Re” from QQ reading.

Thank you to his grace I am Duke and my friend I Found BU to Antidote for their generous rewards.
