Chapter 301 - 217: Pfizer Group’s Counterattack

Chapter 301: Chapter 217: Pfizer Group’s Counterattack

After the announcement was posted, everyone in the Emergency Department was utterly astonished.

This was especially true for the Laparoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment Technology R&D Center.

When Wu Ting stepped into the research center that morning, the nurses and junior doctors all greeted him:

"Good morning, Director Wu!"

Wu Ting smiled and returned each greeting.

Hearing himself called "Director Wu" gave him a small, secret thrill.

Once he reached his office, Cheng Feng was the first to run over to show his support:

"Director Wu!"

"Brother Ting, you’re seriously amazing! The youngest deputy director in the history of City First Hospital. I used to think Director Jiang was already impressive, but I never thought you’d outdo him, Brother Ting."

In contrast to Cheng Feng’s unrestrained praise,

Yasui, Luo Ming, and the others were a bit more reserved, but they offered Wu Ting equally sincere congratulations.

"Congratulations, Director Wu!"

For some time now, Wu Ting had, in fact, been the de facto attending physician in charge of this group, but he had always lacked the official title.

Moreover, even though Yasui and Luo Ming, who had already been promoted to attending physicians, completely respected Wu Ting’s abilities, it always felt a bit awkward when working with outsiders. After all, Wu Ting’s official title was only chief resident.

But now that City First Hospital had formally promoted him, calling him "Director" and working their tails off for him felt much more legitimate.

Besides, Wu Ting now held the title of the youngest deputy chief physician in the history of City First Hospital. For Yasui and Luo Ming, being his right-hand men was something they could be proud of.

The three beauties—Yan Xi, Ling Ling, and Jin Yan—also came over to offer their sincere congratulations to Wu Ting. As they looked at the young man before them, a light shone in their beautiful eyes.

"Director Wu, that’s amazing!"

"Director Wu, I’m so impressed!"

"Director Wu, your rise has been meteoric!"

Wu Ting thanked everyone for their well-wishes and also offered his own premature congratulations to Jin Yan:

"Director Jin, likewise!"

As one of the top four main contributors to the First-Class Jin Province Science and Technology Progress Award, Jin Yan’s promotion was a sure thing.

After receiving congratulations from these doctors, Wu Ting also ran into the other two deputy directors.

Zhang Heng and Qin Donglai.

Qin Donglai looked at Wu Ting with a broad smile and extended his hand to congratulate him.

"I didn’t expect you to be promoted to deputy chief physician so quickly. Congratulations, congratulations."

Qin Donglai had truly watched Wu Ting grow, step by step, to this point. Before, he, a deputy director, had acted as Wu Ting’s assistant. The people in their own department understood Wu Ting’s capabilities, but outsiders might not have seen it that way, and the news could have been a bit embarrassing if it spread.

But now, with Wu Ting’s promotion, their work together became an exchange between peers of the same rank.

Qin Donglai fully supported Wu Ting and looked forward to his future transformation.

Zhang Heng’s feelings were much more complicated. He’d originally thought that after coming to the research center, Qin Donglai, who had coasted to his position on seniority, would be no rival, and Wu Ting was too young. ’In the future,’ he had thought, ’I can turn the tables and become Director Huo’s number one subordinate.’

But he never expected that in just a few short months, Wu Ting would already be a deputy chief physician of emergency surgery, concurrently serving as the deputy director of hepatobiliary surgery.

Wu Ting already had the home-field advantage, and now he was on the same level as him in terms of rank. This truly put a lot of pressure on Zhang Heng.

For some time now, Zhang Heng had been quietly working on his own research project, but the progress had been very slow.

Zhang Heng was beginning to wonder if there was an inherent problem or limitation with the antiviral drug he had chosen, Entecavir.

’Have I gone down the wrong path by choosing Entecavir combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for treating late-stage, hepatitis B-related liver cancer?’

However, he had already invested so much time and energy into this project; he couldn’t just give up on it like this.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath. ’Compared to Wu Ting, who is riding a wave of success, I’m really struggling.’

Nevertheless, Zhang Heng maintained his composure. After congratulating Wu Ting, he went back to his research, performed his scheduled surgeries, and attended his assigned outpatient clinics.

The nature of work in the Emergency Department meant that everyone was always tense and busy.

So, after enjoying a round of congratulations, everyone returned to their own hectic work.

Wu Ting also began his daily routine. However, with his promotion to deputy director, he had moved from being a second-line on-call doctor to joining the ranks of the third-line directors and deputy directors.

Relatively speaking, he had more freedom, greater authority, and a more comprehensive perspective. Of course, his responsibilities were also greater.

After Wu Ting’s promotion to deputy director, his former position as chief resident of the research center’s ward was taken over by the most experienced doctor, Jin Yan.

After her time there, Jin Yan had also become willing to stay at City First Hospital long-term.

Furthermore, after Wu Ting’s promotion, his responsibilities grew heavier, and the number of research projects under him increased.

Jin Yan was also ready to take a gamble and stay at City First Hospital to continue assisting with Wu Ting’s various projects. After all, the First-Class Jin Province Science and Technology Progress Award had given her a taste of success.

...

...

While Wu Ting sailed smoothly forward, advancing triumphantly.

Xianglin City. Pfizer’s Jin Country R&D Center.

Xie Bin, President of the Jin Country District, and Xu Kunlin, the chief scientist of the R&D center, were discussing a matter of great importance.
