Chapter 344: Family Visit and Year-end Review

a few days later.

The appointment for Wang Mengde's promotion was announced.

Of course, he was not the only one who was promoted this time. Many people in the Chinese Medical Research Institute and Guang'anmen Hospital also made progress, including his four junior colleagues.

"Master, congratulations on reaching level seven this time. You are the youngest level seven in our Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Apart from those older famous Chinese medicine experts, you have the highest rank."

Wei Ming and several other disciples congratulated him.

Since their master was promoted, they were naturally very happy.

Although they are still students now, not even apprentices or interns, their future prospects will improve.

This is the benefit of having a big tree to sit under and enjoy the shade.

Haven’t you seen that several of their uncles and aunts have been promoted much faster than others?

Aside from the fact that his medical skills are indeed much better than others, it is also because his master is the vice president and the director of internal medicine is his master.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and given the same opportunities, they will subconsciously favor their own people, and in this situation, no one can say anything.

After all, the process was completely reasonable, and those who were promoted had outstanding work and made great contributions in the past year.

Not to mention anything else, the papers I published in top foreign journals with Wang Mengde some time ago surpassed all our competitors.

This is the world's top journal. Even if your name only appears as the second author in the paper, it is enough to make you famous in the domestic medical community.

Moreover, Li Xiang and his team are still very young. With so many resources, they will definitely achieve success faster than others in the future.

Ever since the paper was published in the journal, major domestic hospitals have privately contacted Li Xiang and several others. Although they are unable to poach him for the time being, they all hope to have a chance to take advantage of him in the future.

Seeing the current situation of their uncles and aunts, Wei Ming and his companions became full of energy.

They and Wang Mengde have a master-disciple relationship, so they will naturally be closer, and there will definitely be benefits in the future.

My master publishes several papers in top foreign journals every year. If I help him with the research, maybe I’ll get my name added to the papers.

I don't require to do one or two things; even if I can do three things, I will be satisfied.

This is an opportunity that many people would not be able to ask for, and it will definitely arouse envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Haha, these are all empty talk. Only by improving your medical skills can you establish yourself. You must guard against arrogance and impatience and study hard.

In a few years, when you have completed your apprenticeship, you will have many opportunities to advance whether you stay in the Chinese Medical Research Institute or Guang'anmen Hospital, or work in other departments or hospitals.

Of course, I will do my best to help you when the time comes, so that you can avoid taking detours."

Wang Mengde looked at his disciples and took the opportunity to teach them.

He was quite satisfied with the performance of his disciples.

Although my qualifications and talents are far inferior to his, I am very motivated and hardworking, and I fill my study time every day.

They studied much harder than most people in later generations, and the number of people who could get into university during this period was definitely one in ten thousand.

Then he continued to encourage:
"You have been graduate students for almost half a year now. Each of you has determined a research topic. After the New Year, I will have more time and will guide you to improve your research.

Maybe your research results can be published in the journal Science China."

These words cheered up Wei Ming and the others, and then they looked incredulous.

"Science in China" is the top scientific journal in China, without a doubt.

If they could publish a paper there during their graduate studies, it would definitely be the first in the country and it would be hard not to cause a sensation in the medical community.

And from what my master said, he plans to let me be the first author, so the value of that is immeasurable.

Even before graduation, you are already far ahead of your peers.

After you graduate and become a master, you won’t have to worry about finding a good job. Whether you stay here or go to other places to develop, you will be the key training target of the unit.

Thinking of this, several people's eyes turned red.

This master not only taught them medical skills without reservation, but also told them all the secret recipes and proven prescriptions.

These secret recipes or proven prescriptions are the essence summarized by the master over the years and are of immeasurable value.

Anyone who studies medicine can improve his medical skills by several levels by obtaining it. It is a treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.

But now he told them selflessly, treating them like his own sons.

noon.

In a clinic of Guang'anmen Hospital.

Wang Mengde had just sent a patient away. There were no more patients waiting outside. He stretched, stood up and walked towards the cafeteria.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I met Sun Xiaoru, Li Xiang and several other junior fellow students.

"Brother, let's go eat together."

Sun Xiaoru said happily.

Although they all work in the same building, Wang Mengde is busy and his meal times are irregular, so they haven't gone to the cafeteria to eat together for a long time.

"Okay, let's go together."

Wang Mengde also said with a smile.

On the road.

Li Xiang said excitedly: "Brother, thank you, I got a promotion this time, not only did my salary increase, but the institute also specially changed my house for me.

We will soon be able to live in a two-bedroom apartment, and our home will not be so crowded anymore.”

He previously lived in a one-bedroom apartment allocated by his workplace, which was very inconvenient for his family of several people.

Unfortunately, his previous job rank was not high enough, so even though he and his wife both worked at the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital, they could not get a two-bedroom apartment.

It was not until this time that Wang Mengde helped and allowed half of his junior fellow students to be promoted first.

Then he seized the opportunity and made smooth progress.

Just as both husband and wife worked in the same unit, they naturally got a two-bedroom apartment.

When he first got the news yesterday, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

The couple lay on the bed, chatting in low voices and imagining their beautiful life in the future.

“Haha, this is what you earned through your own hard work.

Now that I have a two-bedroom apartment, I can’t slack off. I have to work harder in the future so that I can live in a three-bedroom apartment.”

Wang Mengde encouraged with a smile, and then turned to look at the other people:

"And you too, all need to work towards this goal."

Of course, what he said was mostly a joke. There are nearly a thousand employees in the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guang'anmen Hospital, including leaders, but only a few can live in a three-bedroom apartment.

Basically, only famous Chinese medicine experts or vice presidents or above are qualified.

Wang Mengde became an "outlier" because of his great contribution.

"Brother, don't worry, we will continue to work hard and will never slack off."

Li Xiang made a commitment on behalf of everyone.

Of course, he also knew his own limitations and knew that he would never be able to reach the level of his senior brother in his lifetime, so he didn't want a three-bedroom apartment anymore.

However, he will still continue to study hard and strive to improve his medical skills so as not to disappoint his senior brother.

After today it will be New Year's Day.

Since New Year's Day happened to be Sunday, according to the relevant national holiday regulations, Monday was also a day off. So, there were two days of vacation.

After Ran Xiaomei finished her dinner and finished her housework, she began to pack up.

She packed two large bags with various biscuits, canned food, candies, dried fruits and other snacks, and also packed several brand new thick clothes and four pairs of newly made cotton shoes into another package.

Next to it, two large quilts weighing eight kilograms had also been tied up.

Wang Mengde looked at so many things helplessly. He had been trying to persuade Ran Xiaomei for a long time, but she continued to put things into the package.

"Meng De, let mom prepare it. Maybe the army will ask you to send these."

He Shengnan coaxed the child to sleep, then walked out of the bedroom and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay, I hope you can send me in, too."

Wang Mengde said somewhat helplessly.

If the troops don't allow it to be sent, we will have to work hard to get it back.

It's really torture in such cold weather.

But there is no way. Looking at Ran Xiaomei's attitude, no one can persuade her.

Tomorrow morning, the family plans to go to the troops in Nankou to visit Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo.

It has been almost half a year since the two of them joined the army, and apart from writing letters once a month, they have not had the chance to meet.

This time, it was thanks to Mr. Zhong that he got the opportunity to visit his relatives in the army.

When she heard that she would be able to see her son in the army soon, Ran Xiaomei couldn't sit still.

She wanted to pack all the good things in the house and give them to her two sons.

It was because the package was too small that she was struggling, picking up this and putting that down from time to time.

Early the next morning.

The family got up early, and after having breakfast, everyone wrapped themselves up tightly, tied several packages on their bicycles, and headed towards Deshengmen.

Fortunately, there are several bicycles at home, otherwise it would be impossible to carry these five or six large packages on foot.

When we arrived at Deshengmen, a bus bound for Nankou was about to depart.

Several people got on the car quickly.

Because it was still early and it was winter, there were less than ten people in the car, including their family.

It took us nearly three hours to walk slowly along the way and finally arrive at the gate of a brigade in Nankou.

Before Wang Mengde could explain to the sentry, several people walked out of the guard booth. One of them was an old acquaintance, Instructor Cheng, whom he had met once.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, hello."

Instructor Cheng stepped forward, stretched out his hands, held Wang Mengde's hands and said with a smile.

"Hello, Instructor Cheng. I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."

Wang Mengde also hurriedly said embarrassedly.

Now that he has just joined the army, it is not necessary to allow his family to visit him.

"Haha, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Instructor Cheng glanced at the five large packages they brought, his eyelids jumped, and then he signaled to his subordinates behind him to help.

The group walked along a small path to the side, where there was accommodation for the families of a certain brigade.

After settling in.

Instructor Cheng first instructed one of his subordinates to call the brothers Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo, and then he accompanied Wang Mengde and his family to talk.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, your two brothers are very impressive in the army."

"They are still young and impatient, so Coach Cheng needs to be more patient with them."

Wang Mengde said hurriedly.

He was well aware of his two younger brothers' ability to cause trouble, and he had no idea whether the other party was telling the truth or sarcasm.

"Haha, I'm not being polite, these two are now the treasures of our team.

His performance in the recruit company was particularly outstanding. Since he had arrived a few months earlier and had practiced martial arts since childhood, he quickly adapted to the intensity of the army.

Not only that, they both knew medical skills and were better than any other military doctor in the army. Their acupuncture and massage techniques were especially amazing, and they shocked the entire brigade.

Even when the superiors came to inspect, they almost transferred them away, but our captain gritted his teeth and cried to his superiors for a long time before they finally stayed here. "

Instructor Cheng explained with a smile.

He said this sincerely, he really liked the Wang Yuanchao brothers.

In the army, having a special skill is very popular. What's more, they are good at rare skills such as medicine.

In the army, due to years of training, everyone is likely to get injured.

However, the skills of military doctors are not that advanced, and their numbers are not enough, which leads to the fact that many people's illnesses cannot be cured.

Even he and the captain had many problems.

After Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo showed off their medical skills, especially curing his and the team leader's long-standing illness.

Suddenly, these two people became "national treasures".

soon.

Wang Yuanchao and two others ran in.

Seeing her two sons’ dark and thin faces, Ran Xiaomei couldn’t help but walked forward and shed tears.

But Wang Mengde observed something different.

The impatience of the two younger brothers has disappeared, revealing a disciplined, stable, and neat temperament.

It seems that being in the army is not only safe, but also allows me to grow a lot.

His efforts were not in vain.

After New Year's Day, according to the Gregorian calendar, a year has passed.

It’s that time of year again to take stock of the harvest.

On this day, Wang Mengde followed President Lu to attend a meeting with his superiors.

In the conference room, he carefully looked through the materials in front of him, which mainly recorded the export value of all Chinese patent medicines in the past year.

The first line is the export data of "Palace Emperor Maru", which clearly shows US$2.57 million.

As a flagship product, it is sought after by many men and loved by many women.

As a consumable with very high usage frequency, this number is completely well-deserved.

The next two drugs were actually synthetic bovine insulin and Bazhen Shenxi Pills, which had only been exported for a few months. They came from behind and made tens of millions of dollars from each of them.

Next in order are painkillers, gout medicine, aphrodisiacs, etc.

Of course, the tens of millions of dollars he earned from treating foreign patients at Guang'anmen Hospital were also written on it.

Finally, he saw that the total foreign exchange earnings from exports for the whole year was US$6.44 million.

This number made Wang Mengde a little surprised and dazed.

This is two or three times higher than the country's foreign exchange reserves in history.
