Chapter 573 nomination met with opposition

The relevant departments don't care about how to fight in the nest, but when you go abroad, especially in public places, you must show me unity. This is the official confidence.

When Director Peng entered the venue, although his words were polite, his meaning was not so polite.

The people present are all old intellectuals at least, and they still have a sense of the overall situation. Academic debates are private, and they must be unanimous when they go out.

So when the Huaguo delegation appeared at the WCOG conference venue, everyone had a smile on their faces, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.

As a doctor, being able to participate in this top international academic conference is actually the pinnacle of his career.

If another Nobel Prize in Medicine can be won, it will be a great joy for the ancestors to directly smoke from the ancestral grave.

Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan followed behind with briefcases.

Compared with the professors wearing Chinese tunic suits, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan are both wearing suits, which are very professional and more in line with the international mainstream.

Of course, this also makes the two of them look more like conference staff, or small attendants, rather than participating experts.

This is the first time for Lan Lijuan to participate in this kind of international academic conference. She was somewhat nervous and almost twisted her foot when she stepped down the next step.

As the husband, Chen Qi naturally knew how uneasy his wife was, so he pretended to give her a hand, and ate a tofu with his arms around her waist.

"Hey, did you see that one day, we may also be able to sit on that grand rostrum."

Lan Lijuan felt very embarrassed being embraced by her husband, her face blushed slightly, and she forgot about her previous nervousness.

"If others say that I will feel bragging, but you, Comrade Chen Qi, say so, I believe you will definitely sit in that position one day."

"Ah, my wife still understands me, come on, give me a kiss."

"Be serious, so many people are watching."

"What's wrong with looking at it? Look over there, a man and a woman are hugging; look over there, this man and a woman are still kissing on the face; people are not couples who dare to hug each other, but we have certificates. I can't."

"Hmph, sophistry, people call it etiquette and righteousness."

The young couple were still bickering, when they suddenly heard an exclamation from the side:

"Hi, Chen, Lan, it's great to see you again."

It was Professor Segel from Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden who greeted him.

Segel collaborated with Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan on the subject of Helicobacter pylori before, and this doctor who is not short of money participated at his own expense and did not occupy the project funds.

The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant, and everyone got the desired authorship of the paper.

In fact, the subject of Helicobacter pylori is not over yet, and the laboratory that the two parties cooperate with is still in operation.

"Hi Segel, nice to meet you."

Chen Qi hugged Professor Segel, and then Segel politely wanted to hug Lan Lijuan, but Lan Lijuan offered her hand and said that a handshake would be enough.

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he was quite jealous, and he was determined not to let his wife hug other men, even polite hugs.

"Chen, Lan, look at my good vision, I just said that you two will definitely be on the international medical stage of gastroenterology, and you will be on the international stage of gastroenterology earlier than I think you are, it's really great."

Chen Qi joked:

"Then I am better than you. At least I have served as directors of two international medical associations. You have not become a director of WGO so far, so please work hard, Mr. Professor."

hahaha~~~~

Segel almost burst into laughter: "Chen, you are taking advantage too much. The ICPF and FSSH societies are elementary societies, and they cannot be compared with the WGO society at all."

Chen Qi shrugged: "Then I don't care, a director is a director anyway."

The three of them were still chatting, and Professor Bradrick from the Sid-Sinai Medical Center over there also came to say hello.

"Chen, you should have come here earlier, so that I can receive you in Los Angeles, and then introduce countless Hollywood female stars to you. You simply missed the opportunity, ha. Hi, Lan, hello Segel."

Several people exchanged pleasantries again.

Seeing this scene made some old professors in Huaguo feel sour.

They represent Hua Guo to participate in the WCOG conference, and they really don't know any international knowledge experts.

So before the start of the conference, the experts participating in the conference from other countries are calling friends and starting all kinds of social activities, only the Hua country is deserted and deserted, and no one talks to them.

This is not correct, it should be that Chen Qi's side is bustling with people, with Swedes, Americans, and Japanese all coming to say hello.

Remember, it was someone who came over to greet Chen Qi on his own initiative, instead of Chen Qi cheekily approaching him. There was an essential difference.

Some old professors are proud of having such a capable young doctor in China, and are happy to see his success.

Some old professors have noses that are not noses, beards that are not beards, and their hearts are as sour as Shanxi old vinegar, thinking that young people have robbed them of their limelight.

Fortunately, Chen Qi didn't know, and it didn't matter if he knew.

Chen Qi belongs to a "self-contained school" in China. The research topics are beyond the times and can be completed independently. There is no need to look at other people's faces.

Moreover, Chen Qi has worked for so many years, and has never applied to join any domestic medical organization.

This is a bit of a maverick. Anyway, he will play high-end international games if he wants to play, and he will not intrigue with a few people in China.

In this way, even if some people want to deal with Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, they can't do anything about it. Even Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan have been nestled in Yuezhong, and there is nothing they can do about them.

After a while, the members of the assembly committee informed everyone that the meeting officially started.

The doctors each found their own seats and sat down, and the venue of Nuoda became quiet in an instant.

This WCOG conference was held in Texas Medical Center, International Conference Center. The venue was very large, and there were as many as 1,000 experts and professors from various countries participating in the conference.

As one of the largest and most influential medical associations in the world, the International Society of Gastroenterology is full of atmosphere.

Today is the opening ceremony, and all the representatives participated. Professor Grace took the lead as the chairman of the conference, and the audience applauded.

Professor Grace also nodded with a smile, and even looked towards the Hua Guo delegation from a distance, as if looking for someone.

In the next few days, except for the 2-day adjournment (in fact, it was to earn flying knife fees or consultation fees for experts from various countries), the rest were academic speeches.

Academic conferences are actually very boring. For laymen, listening to the experts on the stage talking non-stop to the slide BBB will make them fall asleep.

For people in the industry, it's important to hear how far the world's most cutting-edge technology has developed, which country's doctors have discovered a great knowledge point, and which professor has invented a new treatment plan.

This is more direct than reading papers.

There are also many representatives of pharmaceutical companies in the audience. If there is a good project and topic, they will make a timely move or even loot it.

This is a bit similar to the entertainment industry.

So WCOG is also a stage for experts from various countries to show themselves. There is no shortage of fame and fortune on this stage, it depends on whether you can grasp it.

In the Hua Guo delegation.

After everyone's discussion and compromise, it is believed that Professor Zhang Wanfeng of Renji Hospital's paper "The Value of Detecting Plasma, Gastric Juice cAMP and cGMP in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Gastric Diseases" is currently the most advanced topic of gastrointestinal diseases in China.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Professor Zhang being the chairman of the "Chinese Medical Association Gastroenterology".

Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan sat in the corner of the small conference room, sitting with the translation secretaries from the department, watching the discussions of the old professors.

Director Peng saw that everyone's opinions were unified, and he was in a happy mood:

"Then we've made a deal, and we'll see Mr. Zhang's wonderful speech tomorrow."

Professor Zhang Wanfeng studied abroad when he was young, so he can speak English very fluently. The real bosses are all humble:

"It is also the love of comrades. I have been entrusted with such a heavy task. I must live up to the expectations of the country and the entrustment of my colleagues and leaders, and let foreign colleagues know that our country's medicine has made great achievements and progress."

Professor Guan Shizhong glanced at Chen Qilan Lijuan in the back row at this time, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he said:

"Comrade Chen Qi, Comrade Lan Lijuan, your participation in this international conference has already represented that you are the best among young doctors. I hope you will work harder in the future, learn more from seniors like Professor Zhang, and strive to have more achievements in the future." Opportunity to be on the international academic stage.

Chen Qi quickly stood up: "Yes, we must study hard."

"This attitude is good. After Comrade Xiao Chen goes back, he should be promoted and reused in the unit?"

"That's for sure. Young people who have gone abroad for gilding now have a good future when they go back."

"No, I remember that Comrade Chen Qi is a surgeon and a double director of two academic conferences. Why did he come to participate in the Gastroenterology Society?"

"Young people, it's not normal to go where there is an opportunity?"

Older people like to put on their old status. Hearing the discussion, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan are not going to say anything, anyway, they like to do whatever they want.

At the same time, the top level of the WGO Society is also recruiting closed-door meetings.

1989 was the transition year of many medical associations. Chen Qi was not re-elected as a director of the FSSH Society in Japan before.

So in theory, Chen Qi is no longer the only "dual director" in China, and only has the title of director of the ICPF Society on his head.

Specifically, the same is true for the WGO, the International Society of Gastroenterology. This Texas meeting in the United States also needs to elect a new president, vice president, director, and committee member.

Because WGO is a large medical organization with hundreds of thousands of members.

But there are only a few positions in the medical association, 1 president, 10 vice presidents, 30 directors, and 100 committee members.

So there are more people competing for these positions.

Who gets in and who doesn't? This only tests a doctor's academic level and clinical skills, and also considers the public relations team behind the doctor. Or, more blatantly, is there any support from the donor father?

It can be said that to be able to become a high-level WGO, one's own excellence and the relationship behind it are indispensable.

Becoming a committee member is not only about personal reputation, but more importantly, with this title, one's appearance fee will be higher, and one's sponsors will be more favored. It's all money.

Now Lan Lijuan is backed by the Swedish Asilien Pharmaceutical Company, and she also holds the topic of Helicobacter pylori, so she has been "recommended" to the committee successfully.

Although Chen Qi is backed by the Japanese Nipro Pharmaceutical Company, his miraculous endoscopic surgery has not had time to be promoted. According to common sense, he will not be able to join the WGO Council until the next term at the earliest.

But as the president of the WGO Society, Professor Grace has a new idea.

"Everyone, after discussing for so many days, this board list can be passed in principle, but I have different opinions on the appointment of a doctor."

The 40 WGO executives in the conference room were taken aback for a moment, because this Professor Grace belonged to a moderate faction with a relatively fair and neutral stand, so he was elected as the president by the General Assembly.

In the future, when Grace served as the chairman, he respected the opinions of the majority of people on the list, but why did he suddenly have his own different opinions this year?

At this time, a vice president asked: "Mr. President, which doctor do you disagree with?"

"No, no, no, it's not that I disagree, but I think Mr. Chen Qi, a doctor from Huaguo, should be given a council title. In my personal opinion, he should be elected as a council member and can become the president of the Digestive Endoscopy Branch."

Although Chen Qi is good at performing endoscopic surgery, but because the operation is urgent, the paper after the operation has not been published, and even the video tape has not been released.

So many senior WGO executives have never heard of Chen Qi's name and deeds.

Now the president suddenly said that he wanted to promote the 27-year-old Hua Guo doctor as a director and also as the president of the branch. Everyone's minds were full of question marks, and they were not convinced.

Many people are complaining in their hearts. Could it be that Dr. Chen is the illegitimate son of Professor Grace?

Professor Grace's proposal had just been made, and the vice-chairman Prof. Segel, who was sitting in the conference room, quickly agreed:

"Yes, I think Mr. President's proposal is very good, I agree."

Segel and Chen Qi are allies, so of course they have to stand up and support them as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Bradrick from Sid-Sinai Medical Center also raised his hand: "I agree, Chen is a genius."

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the meeting room. Whether it is a director or a committee member, it is a radish and a pit. If Chen Qi wants to be in the top position, he must squeeze out an original "reserve director candidate". .

An Australian doctor was a little unconvinced:

"Mr. President, what is your reason for nominating that Hua Guo doctor? I think you should give an example of the Hua Guo doctor's excellence, so that we can judge whether he can be elected as a director of the WGO Society."

"That's right, we don't even know who Chen Qi is, how can we elect him."

"Election should be fair and just, and favors cannot be solicited. This is against the purpose of the Medical Association."

Professor Grace was not in a hurry, he smiled and asked the secretary to take out a video tape and stuff it into the machine, and a scene of an operating room appeared on the screen.

"Gentlemen and ladies, it's time to witness the miracle!"
