BXBX NOVEL Chapter 138: What a Pity You Studied Medicine! (Please Subscribe)
He didn’t have to spend entire days at the hospital anymore.
Thus, Chen Cang’s time became comparatively freer.
Of course, life within the system meant that as long as the leadership turned a blind eye, everything was negotiable. But the moment they decided to nitpick, they could find a plethora of problems, even where there were none.
Although nothing major happened that morning, he never got a chance to sit down; there was always something to do in the hospital, big or small, making sure he was never idle.
Finally getting a chance to rest, Qin Yue scampered over, dragged a chair next to Chen Cang, and said with a smug grin, “Chen Cang, my professor has read my paper, guess what he said?”
Chen Cang said, “He said your article has a fresh theme, a rigorous structure, a clear train of thought, abundant charts, comprehensive data, and could even be called a classic!”
This flattery made Qin Yue extremely comfortable, “Oh, Chen Cang, you’ve been drinking high-sugar drinks today? Your mouth is so sweet! Not bad, not bad, you deserve some praise.”
Wang Qian directly laughed and said, “He’s had too much high-sugar drink, diabetic ketoacidosis, currently delirious! He’s talking nonsense; don’t take his word for it, little Qin.”
Qin Yue shot Wang Qian a look, “Qian’er Brother, I suddenly understand why you, an orthopedics student, didn’t go to orthopedics but to the emergency department!”
Wang Qian, curious, asked, “Why?”
Qin Yue glared hard and said, “Because even the dean thinks you’re lacking!” Wang Qian scoffed, “The life in emergency is a training for my technical skills. Speaking of which, can I have a look at your paper?”
Qm Yue, with an air of pride, pulled out a printed paper and handed it to Wang Qian, “Take a look, my teacher said it’s very creative and thoughtful. I could try submitting an English SCI paper; it might even have a high impact factor.”
Chen Cang casually picked up another publication from the desk-it was all in English, likely Qin Yue’s translation.
After flipping through it casually, Chen Cang noticed that the content was indeed significantly more substantial than before and even more refined; a lot of needless narration had been removed.
Compared to the previous version, this was much more impressive. It seemed that Professor Xu Mo was truly remarkable.
Chen Cang might not have been good at writing papers, but he had read enough to have some discernment.
It’s like with novels, I can’t write them, but I can still tell the good from the bad, and the recently launched one is pretty good…
I he translation was quite decent, and the other party put in a lot of effort.
Upon reading through the entire paper, Chen Cang felt quite satisfied; it resonated with the unique essence of scientific medical articles and was rigorously scientific.
But… there were quite a few details that needed to be revised.
The expression used in professional English differs from common English, and even between different journals, the style of wording and sentence construction can vary considerably.
I his translation was already quite decent, but there were some imperfections that needed to be addressed.
It appeared that the translator wasn’t profoundly knowledgeable about surgery, which led to some minor issues with the terminology, phrasing, and descriptions of surgical procedures.
However, the minor flaws did not detract from the overall quality of the translation. It was a well-translated article.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue and Wang Qian were enthusiastically discussing the paper.
Chen Cang simply took out a pen from his pocket and started making corrections directly on the paper.
After reviewing it, Chen Cang casually placed the paper back on the table.
Wang Qian said, “Little Qin, I didn’t see that coming. Your paper is quite good. If it gets properly translated into professional English, it could definitely be an SCI publication, and the impact factor wouldn’t be low either!”
Qm Yue said cheerfully, “Yeah, my professor said the same thing. For that reason, he had Professor Wu Xueyu from Dongyang Medical University, who specializes in Medical English, take a look at it; he did the translation.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was instantly shocked, “Are you talking about… Professor Wu Xueyu? My god… Professor Wu is a renowned translator of medical literature. He even led the translation of the latest ‘2019 Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Internal Medicine Diseases’.”
Qin Yue nodded, “Yes, that’s right, Professor Wu! He and my teacher were university classmates.”
Wang Qian was a student at Dongyang Medical University, and upon hearing the name Wu Xueyu, he was naturally impressed, “Awesome! Professor Wu personally translating, you’ve got some real clout, Qin Yue. It’s in the bag, totally in the bag, I’m telling you. Your article is definitely going to land a high-impact factor. When that happens… just add my name on it, let me experience what it feels like to be on a high-impact SCI journal.”
Qin Yue nodded, not minding whether or not additional names were added; after all, only the corresponding author and the first author really carried weight.
At this moment, smelling an opportunity, Yuan Fan was instantly tempted.
He hurriedly chimed in, “Qin Yue, can you add my name too?”
Before Qin Yue could even reply, the phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly answered the call:
“Hello? Hello, Professor Wu, yes! This is Qin Yue.”
“Oh! Okay, okay! Yes, yes, yes, I’ll head over right after work. Thank you, Professor Wu.”
“Mhm, goodbye, Professor Wu!”
After hanging up, Qin Yue grabbed the paper from the table, packed it up, and said cheerfully, “Professor Wu says there are still some imperfections in the translation that need to be fixed. 1’11 be going now.”
Wang Qian nodded, “Professor Wu is always meticulous and thorough. Qin Yue, you must seize this opportunity! Just remember to add my name, and that’ll be fine.”
Qin Yue nodded, then glanced at Chen Cang and suddenly noticed that the guy was reading a novel. She couldn’t help but feel irritated and said, pouting, “Me? I’m just a laborer. The real boss here is Chen Cang! We’re all just underlings, with Chen Cang as the corresponding author reaping the real benefits. I even placed Director Li as the second author…”
Look at us, slaving away, and the one who benefits most is over there reading novels… I mean, Chen Cang, how can you be so laid back? You’re the corresponding author, shouldn’t you be taking a look?”
Chen Cang, upon hearing this, casually responded, “Isn’t that what you’re here for?”
Qin Yue was instantly enraged, “Scoundrel! When did I belong to you?”
Chen Cang sighed. This woman, her mind works in mysterious ways, “I did take a look at the one you left on the desk. It’s all in English after the translation.
Not bad…”
Qin Yue shot him a disdainful look, “Show-off… It’s all in English, and I don’t even want to look at it. You glanced over it… Shameless! Why didn’t you edit it, then?”
After she said that, she packed up her things and huffed, “I’m off then, Professor Wu is waiting for me.”
All this time, Qin Yue completely ignored Yuan Fan.
This angered Yuan Fan…
[Ding! Yuan Fan’s affection -5!]
Chen Cang was taken aback, “What the heck?”
Yuan Fan, damn it…
Did 1 steal your buff, or did I kill your three wolves?
What’s that got to do with me!
I can handle Qin Yue’s little lapdog bullying me; they’re good-looking at least. But look at your scruffy face…
Thinking this, Chen Cang looked up furiously, only to catch Yuan Fan staring at him with a dark expression.
When Yuan Fan saw Chen Cang looking up, he was taken aback, then quickly plastered on a smile and nodded at Chen Cang.
Chen Cang was dumbfounded, “Your acting… It’s praise-worthy.”
Our anti-Japanese dramas aren’t popular because they lack excellent traitor actors like you.
You’re wasting your talent studying medicine!
ps: I’ve realized, after messing up a chapter title, some of those reading pirated versions have come to tell me to correct the chapters, haha!
