The relevant departments don’t care how you fight at home, but when you go abroad, especially in public places, you must show solidarity with me. This is the official confidence.

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

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

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

As a doctor, being able to participate in such top international academic conferences is actually the pinnacle of your career.

If we can win another Nobel Prize in Medicine, it will be a great event that will send smoke directly from our ancestors' graves.

Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan followed at the end carrying briefcases.

Compared with the professors wearing Chinese tunic suits, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan both wore suits, which was 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 followers rather than experts participating in the conference.

This was Lan Lijuan's first time to participate in such an international academic conference. She was a little nervous, and she almost sprained her foot when she stepped down the next step.

As a husband, Chen Qi naturally knew that his wife was feeling uneasy, so he pretended to give her a hand, put his arm around her waist and ate some tofu.

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

Lan Lijuan felt very embarrassed being hugged by her husband. Her face turned slightly red and she forgot about her previous nervousness.

"If others say it, I will think it is bragging, but if 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 the matter? Look over there, a man and a woman are hugging each other. Look over there, a man and a woman are kissing each other on the cheek. Not only couples dare to hug each other, but we have certificates.

It won’t work.”

"Humph, sophistry, that's called etiquette and justice."

The young couple were still "quarreling" when they suddenly heard an exclamation from beside them:

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

The person who said hello was Professor Segel from Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden.

Segel previously collaborated with Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan on the subject of Helicobacter pylori, and this wealthy doctor participated at his own expense, which did not occupy the project funds.

The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant, and everyone got the right to authorize the paper they wanted.

In fact, the topic of Helicobacter pylori is not over yet, and the laboratory collaborated by both parties is still in operation. Helicobacter pylori is a treasure trove of topics, and we have been digging and digging for decades without any problem.

"Hi Segel, nice to meet you."

Chen Qi hugged Professor Segel, and then Segel politely wanted to hug Lan Lijuan, but Lan Lijuan took the initiative to extend her hand and said that a shake would be enough.

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

"Chen, Lan, look at my good judgment. I will say that you two will definitely be on the international medical stage of gastroenterology, and it will be earlier than I thought of you. It is really great."

Chen Qi joked:

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

Hahaha~~~~

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

Chen Qi shrugged: "I don't care, anyway, directors are directors."

While the three of them were still chatting, Professor Bradrick from Sid Sinai Medical Center in the United States also came over to say hello.

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

A few people exchanged pleasantries again.

This scene made several old professors in China feel sour.

They came to attend the WCOG conference on behalf of China, and they really didn’t know any international knowledge experts.

Therefore, before the conference started, the participating experts from other countries gathered with friends and started socializing in various ways. Only the Chinese side was deserted and no one talked.

This is not correct. It should be that Chen Qi's place is very lively. Now Swedes, now Americans, and now Japanese people all come over to say hello.

Remember, it’s the person who comes to greet Chen Qi on his own initiative, rather than Chen Qi’s shameless approach. There is a fundamental difference.

Some old professors are proud that there is such an accomplished young doctor in China and are happy to see his success.

Some old professors have noses that are not noses, and beards that are not beards. They feel as jealous as Shanxi old men, feeling that young people have stolen their limelight.

Fortunately, Chen Qi doesn’t know, and it doesn’t matter if he does.

Chen Qi belongs to a "school of his own" in China. The topics he studies are all beyond the times and can be completed independently. There is no need to look at other people's faces.

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

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

In this way, even if some people want to take advantage of Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, there is nothing they can do. Even Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan have been hiding in Yuezhong, and there is nothing they can do against them.

After a while, the conference committee members informed everyone that the meeting had officially begun.

The doctors each found their own seats and sat down, and the venue at Nuovo University instantly became quiet.

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

As one of the largest and most influential medical societies in the world, the International Society of Gastroenterology has made a name for itself.

Today is the opening ceremony, with all representatives participating. Professor Grace took the lead as the chairman of the conference, and the audience burst into applause.

Professor Grace also smiled and nodded, and even looked in the direction of the Chinese delegation from a distance, as if he was looking for someone.

In the following days, except for two days of adjournment (actually to earn knife fees or consultation fees for experts from various countries), the rest were academic lectures.

Academic conferences are actually very boring. For laymen, listening to the experts on the stage talking non-stop to the slides BBB will make you doze off.

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

This is more direct than reading a paper.

There are also many representatives of pharmaceutical companies in the audience. If there are good projects and good topics, they will take action in time or even snatch them up.

This is somewhat similar to the entertainment industry.

Therefore, WCOG is also a stage for experts from all over the world to showcase themselves. There is no shortage of fame and fortune on this stage. It depends on whether you can grasp it.

Inside the Chinese delegation.

After everyone's discussion and compromise, we believe that Professor Zhang Wanfeng's paper from Renji Hospital, "The Value of Detecting Plasma, Gastric Juice cAMP and cGMP in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Gastric Diseases," is currently the most representative of the most advanced topics in gastroenterology 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 who came from the department, watching the discussion of the old professors.

Director Peng felt happy when he saw that everyone had unified opinions:

"Then we've settled on this, we'll watch Mr. Zhang's wonderful speech tomorrow."

Professor Zhang Wanfeng studied abroad when he was young, so he speaks English very well. Real bosses are humble:

"It is also the love of my comrades who has given me such an important task. I will definitely live up to the country's expectations, live up to the entrustments 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. He didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and said:

"Comrade Chen Qi and 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 and learn more from seniors like Professor Zhang, so as to strive for success in the future."

Opportunity to attend an international academic podium."

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

"This is a good attitude. After Comrade Xiao Chen returns, he should be promoted and re-employed in the unit, right?"

"That's for sure. Nowadays, young people who have gone abroad for gold plating experience will have a good future when they return."

"No, I remember that Comrade Chen Qi is a surgeon and a co-director of two academic conferences. How come he came to attend the Society of Gastroenterology?"

"Isn't it normal for young people to take advantage of opportunities wherever they arise?"

Older people like to show off their seniority. After hearing the discussion, Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan were not ready to say anything more. Anyway, let’s do whatever it takes.

At the same time, senior leaders of the WGO Society are also holding closed-door meetings.

1989 was a transition year for many medical societies. Chen Qi had not been re-elected as a director of the Japanese FSSH Society.

Therefore, in theory, Chen Qi is no longer the only "double director" in China. He only has the title of ICPF Society Director.

The same is true for the WGO of the International Society of Gastroenterology. This Texas meeting in the United States also needs to elect new members, vice presidents, directors, and committee members.

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

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

So there are more people vying for these positions.

Who will be admitted and who will not be admitted? This only tests a doctor’s academic level and clinical skills. We also need to consider the public relations team behind the doctor, or to be more naked, is there support from the funder’s father?

It can be said that to be able to become a senior executive of WGO, one’s own excellence and the connections behind it are indispensable.
