Chapter 503: Chapter 289: "Head of the 800,000 Imperial Guards" Wu Ting

After hearing James’s introduction, Professor Livingston was extremely interested not only in the vascular stents but also in the fully-formed Hybrid discipline.

He was also very interested in becoming the deputy editor-in-chief of this new work.

"James, in that case, since you’ve been in the Jin Country for a while, I’ll make a trip over as well. I can also participate in the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition while I’m there."

James hadn’t expected Livingston to be so agreeable.

"Then I will await your arrival in the Jin Country."

After hanging up, James felt invigorated. This trip to the Jin Country was turning out to be even more perfect than he had imagined.

After Wu Ting’s speech concluded, Dean James stepped up to the podium again and took the microphone.

"Everyone, I just got off the phone with Professor Livingston from the Cardiovascular Surgery Center at Yun Country’s Royal Brompton Hospital. He watched the entire live broadcast of Director Wu’s surgery and is extremely interested in the procedure, the brand-new Hybrid Technology, and all the new materials and equipment involved."

"Professor Livingston has already agreed to come to the Jin Country in the next few days to compile a monograph on this discipline, together with Director Wu and all of you pioneers in the field of Hybrid Technology."

"Professor Livingston has also agreed to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief for this monograph. Once our *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Trial Edition)* is complete, I will be fully responsible for its global distribution and promotion, with a special focus on promotion in the Southern Country District."

"Meanwhile, Professor Livingston will be responsible for promoting this textbook in the Southern District."

"As for within the Jin Country, we’ll have to rely on the efforts of Scholar Jiang and all of you present here."

"Director Wu’s speech and report have now concluded. This brings us to our third agenda item: establishing the editorial board for the *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Trial Edition)*."

At this moment, Steve, the Vice President of the Johnson & Johnson Group, also stood up excitedly and announced:

"Esteemed experts and directors, our group will fully fund Director Wu’s monograph project. Furthermore, every expert selected for the editorial board will receive a generous editing fee from the project team."

Hearing the words of Steve and James, the experts and professors present felt overwhelmingly flattered.

This was an unexpected windfall!

With three heavyweights like James, Scholar Jiang, and Livingston at the helm—the President of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association, the President of the Jin Country Medical Association’s Cardiovascular Surgery branch, and the President of the South Continent Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Association, respectively—being selected for such an editorial board was a tremendous honor.

Compiling the textbook for an emerging discipline meant securing one’s status in the industry!

"Dean James, Director Wu, the honor is all ours."

Even Wu Ting’s instructors from the training camp—Director Ren, He Guangzong, and Director Wu—all eagerly opted to join the editorial board.

Hu Zhipeng watched the scene unfold, completely stunned.

’Is this what they call "acting according to one’s station"? In the wards at Fuwai, Wu Ting calls these directors "Teacher," but here at the editorial board meeting, these same directors are calling him "Chief Editor"!’

After the experts and professors accepted their roles on the editorial board, Dean James decided to strike while the iron was hot.

He immediately began assigning tasks to the directors based on the Chapter distribution in Wu Ting’s *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Draft)*.

"From now on, Scholar Jiang, Professor Livingston, and I will coordinate and review everyone’s progress and work assignments..."

"The original team from Fuwai Hospital, under the continued leadership of Director Ren, will complete the first three Chapters, supplementing Director Wu’s theories and concepts with more case summaries and surgical photos..."

"The team from Anzhen Hospital will complete the fourth Chapter..."

"The team from Jiuhua Hospital will complete the fourth and fifth Chapters..."

"Director He Guangzong will be solely responsible for the Chapter on off-pump cardiac support technology..."

After breaking down and assigning all the content, Dean James turned to Wu Ting.

"Director Wu, you will still be needed to integrate the overall framework and system afterward."

"Of course, before that, I suggest all the directors make time for a short-term intensive training session here at Fuwai Hospital. It will be led by Director Wu, with myself, Scholar Jiang, and Professor Livingston supervising and providing guidance. We can brainstorm and ensure everyone is proficient with the procedures. After that, you can return to your respective hospitals and lead your teams to complete your assigned Chapters."

Since Dean James himself was willing to stay at Fuwai for a joint training period, no one else would dare have any objections.

Even a proud and arrogant man like He Guangzong felt this was a rare opportunity!

’They were James, Livingston, and Jiang Keji—living legends of cardiac surgery!’

He didn’t know what the others were thinking, but He Guangzong was starting to feel that the Asia-Pacific Region’s cardiovascular surgery competition was just getting in the way.

The directors decided to follow Wu Ting and participate in the training for the Hybrid Technology discipline.

The other trainees in the camp, like Hu Zhipeng and Li Xun, were filled with a mixture of envy and awe.

’Didn’t Wu Ting come here to participate in the training camp? How did he suddenly become the "Head of the 800,000 Imperial Guards"?’

’He’s already started training Director Ren and Director He!’

While these young trainees were still digesting this momentous news, the directors were already thinking much further ahead.

Once Wu Ting’s new discipline was established, which hospital or university would it be affiliated with?

This was a matter of great consequence and influence.

However, it would most likely be based at Fuwai Hospital, which meant Wu Ting himself would very likely remain at Fuwai afterward.
