Chapter 138: Chapter 138: What a Pity You Studied Medicine! (Please Subscribe)
Since the scheduling system for the emergency department was adjusted, Chen Cang had a lot more random day shifts.
He didnât have to spend entire days at the hospital anymore.
Thus, Chen Cangâs 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, âChen Cang, my professor has read my paper, guess what he said?â
Chen Cang said, âHe 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!â
This flattery made Qin Yue extremely comfortable, âOh, Chen Cang, youâve been drinking high-sugar drinks today? Your mouth is so sweet! Not bad, not bad, you deserve some praise.â
Wang Qian directly laughed and said, âHeâs had too much high-sugar drink, diabetic ketoacidosis, currently delirious! Heâs talking nonsense; donât take his word for it, little Qin.â
Qin Yue shot Wang Qian a look, âQianâer Brother, I suddenly understand why you, an orthopedics student, didnât go to orthopedics but to the emergency department!â
Wang Qian, curious, asked, âWhy?â
Qin Yue glared hard and said, âBecause even the dean thinks youâre lacking!â Wang Qian scoffed, âThe life in emergency is a training for my technical skills. Speaking of which, can I have a look at your paper?â
Qm Yue, with an air of pride, pulled out a printed paper and handed it to Wang Qian, âTake a look, my teacher said itâs very creative and thoughtful. I could try submitting an English SCI paper; it might even have a high impact factor.â
Chen Cang casually picked up another publication from the desk-it was all in English, likely Qin Yueâs 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.
Itâs like with novels, I canât write them, but I can still tell the good from the bad, and the recently launched one is pretty goodâ¦
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 wasnât 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, âLittle Qin, I didnât 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 wouldnât be low either!â
Qm Yue said cheerfully, âYeah, 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.â
Upon hearing this, Wang Qian was instantly shocked, âAre 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 â2019 Guidelines for the Diagnosis of Internal Medicine Diseasesâ.â
Qin Yue nodded, âYes, thatâs right, Professor Wu! He and my teacher were university classmates.â
Wang Qian was a student at Dongyang Medical University, and upon hearing the name Wu Xueyu, he was naturally impressed, âAwesome! Professor Wu personally translating, youâve got some real clout, Qin Yue. Itâs in the bag, totally in the bag, Iâm 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.â
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, âQin Yue, can you add my name too?â
Before Qin Yue could even reply, the phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly answered the call:
âHello? Hello, Professor Wu, yes! This is Qin Yue.â
âOh! Okay, okay! Yes, yes, yes, Iâll head over right after work. Thank you, Professor Wu.â
âMhm, goodbye, Professor Wu!â
After hanging up, Qin Yue grabbed the paper from the table, packed it up, and said cheerfully, âProfessor Wu says there are still some imperfections in the translation that need to be fixed. 1â11 be going now.â
Wang Qian nodded, âProfessor Wu is always meticulous and thorough. Qin Yue, you must seize this opportunity! Just remember to add my name, and thatâll be fine.â
Qin Yue nodded, then glanced at Chen Cang and suddenly noticed that the guy was reading a novel. She couldnât help but feel irritated and said, pouting, âMe? Iâm just a laborer. The real boss here is Chen Cang! Weâre all just underlings, with Chen Cang as the corresponding author reaping the real benefits. I even placed Director Li as the second authorâ¦â
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? Youâre the corresponding author, shouldnât you be taking a look?â
Chen Cang, upon hearing this, casually responded, âIsnât that what youâre here for?â
Qin Yue was instantly enraged, âScoundrel! When did I belong to you?â
Chen Cang sighed. This woman, her mind works in mysterious ways, âI did take a look at the one you left on the desk. Itâs all in English after the translation.
Not badâ¦â
Qin Yue shot him a disdainful look, âShow-off⦠Itâs all in English, and I donât even want to look at it. You glanced over it⦠Shameless! Why didnât you edit it, then?â
After she said that, she packed up her things and huffed, âIâm off then, Professor Wu is waiting for me.â
All this time, Qin Yue completely ignored Yuan Fan.
This angered Yuan Fanâ¦
[Ding! Yuan Fanâs affection -5!]
Chen Cang was taken aback, âWhat the heck?â
Yuan Fan, damn itâ¦
Did 1 steal your buff, or did I kill your three wolves?
Whatâs that got to do with me!
I can handle Qin Yueâs little lapdog bullying me; theyâre good-looking at least. But look at your scruffy faceâ¦
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, âYour acting⦠Itâs praise-worthy.â
Our anti-Japanese dramas arenât popular because they lack excellent traitor actors like you.
Youâre wasting your talent studying medicine!
ps: Iâve realized, after messing up a chapter title, some of those reading pirated versions have come to tell me to correct the chapters, haha!
