Chapter 296 Trouble Comes Knocking (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets, Please Subscribe)

After Chen Yu introduced the topic of nerve reconstruction surgery, the focus of this academic conference naturally and indisputably centered on him.

While many praised Chen Yu and discussed his surgical technique, there were also those who, like Qingdai, recognized him as the person who had previously introduced the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug at the last conference, which naturally caused an even greater stir.

Seeing Chen Yu present two such heavyweight research findings within less than half a year at two academic conferences, naturally many people harbored certain doubts about his research.

After all, the research findings presented by Chen Yu were so astounding, whether it was the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug or the nerve reconstruction surgery, both of these studies could make one become a new authority in the academic world, achieving fame and fortune.

If these were plagiarized research findings, unless the original author had been silenced, they likely would have come forward by now.

As for suspicions of academic fraud, although not unfounded, faced with the indisputable facts of the clinical cases, these doubts again seemed so groundless.

In such a situation, people could only marvel that there indeed were geniuses in the world.

Regardless of the shock in the academic world, after giving his presentation and sharing his research at the conference, Chen Yu returned to Tokyo with Jounouchi Hiromi, not staying in Kanazawa to sightsee as originally planned.

It was not that Chen Yu did not want to stay on for a couple more days of fun, but after the incident at the Oyama Shrine, neither he nor Jounouchi Hiromi were in the mood for leisure.

Furthermore, Jounouchi Hiromi, after communicating with Professor Soda, had gained much inspiration and was eager to get back to Tokyo to start work, so they decided to return directly.

"Thank you, Professor." It's indeed wonderful to have a supervisor who supports you, at least when it comes to applying for labs or research funding, you don't have to worry about getting stuck.

After thanking Professor Kube, Chen Yu took the authorization he was given and headed to the General Surgery office to share the good news with Jounouchi Hiromi and to enable her to start her experiments as soon as possible.

But upon reaching the General Surgery office, Chen Yu unexpectedly saw an arms-crossed Jounouchi Hiromi with a look of dissatisfaction, and in front of her, the Qingdai he had seen in Kanazawa was hanging her head, looking tearful, and apologizing to her.

"What's the matter? What happened?" Chen Yu knocked on the door and asked.

"Professor!" Doctor Higashiyama and the Glasses Doctor greeted Chen Yu as he entered, and the other doctors also quickly moved aside. Everyone in the hospital knew that Jounouchi Hiromi was Chen Yu's fiancée, and seeing him arrive, naturally, they all became somewhat concerned for the appearantly pitiful Qingdai.

"It's like this, Professor, Doctor Qingdai is a new trainee doctor who reported for work today, but she accidentally knocked over Dr. Jounouchi's belongings when greeting her, and Dr. Jounouchi is very angry, Dr. Qingdai is apologizing to her," Nakagawa Susumu explained to Chen Yu in a hushed tone, but the undertone of fondness for Qingdai was undeniable.

Hearing Nakagawa Susumu say this and thinking about his previous encounter with Qingdai in Kanazawa where he couldn't even remember her face, Chen Yu frowned.

"Hiromi, what happened?" Chen Yu walked over to Jounouchi Hiromi and reassured her, before turning to look at her desk where a teacup lay toppled, with water spilled from the cup soaking the desk, the papers Jounouchi Hiromi had been writing on were now waterlogged, the ink blotting and thereby requiring rewriting.

Seeing this, Chen Yu's expression became serious, and he said to Qingdai, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get some paper towels and a cloth! In this kind of situation, the first thing you should do is clean up the water. Apologies can wait until after you've dealt with the situation! Hiromi, come with me. I have something to say to you."

With that said, without waiting for the reaction of Qingdai or the others in the office, he led Jounouchi Hiromi out of the office.
