Chapter 502: Chapter 288: Wu Ting’s Work: "Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Draft)" Sets Sail

Amid the crowd’s applause, James began to introduce the true purpose of this academic exchange.

"Everyone, the reason I’ve gathered you all here today is for what’s coming next. Director Wu’s presentation is the real point of this academic exchange."

"I’m sure some of the directors and professors here already know Director Wu Ting and are familiar with the Hybrid Technology he’s been researching."

As the president of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association, Dean James was a gifted speaker. He spoke fluently and at length, naturally recounting the story of how he and Wu Ting first met.

The experts in attendance listened, captivated, as he shared the story of the wondrous fate that connected him and Wu Ting.

"Actually, like everyone else, I only recently became familiar with Director Wu’s Hybrid Technology. Just a few days ago, I received a paper recommended by Scholar Jiang, titled *Hybrid Technology Typing: Research on Diversified Treatment Options*..."

"Those who know me know that I’m passionate about all sorts of cutting-edge, emerging technologies. I always try to support and promote them to the best of my ability... My first encounter with this technology was at an academic forum with Scholar Jiang, where I simply heard about this brand-new combination of traditional surgical techniques and interventional treatment plans..."

"Unfortunately, at the time, this Hybrid Technology was still in its infancy. Due to limitations in technique and equipment, it had very few applications and could only be used for a limited number of diseases. Therefore, we didn’t pay much attention to it back then..."

"But this time, Director Wu’s paper, by introducing a brand-new fourth-generation vascular stent and an adjustable self-expanding delivery system, has greatly expanded and extended the scope of this technology’s application... Moreover, Director Wu’s concept of ’diversified treatment’ has given wings to Hybrid Technology..."

"A while ago, after admitting An Qier, I was discussing the surgery with my team when I had a flash of inspiration. I realized her case was a perfect indication for Director Wu’s Hybrid Technology. So, I contacted Scholar Jiang directly, hoping to invite Director Wu to the Cleveland Hospital to perform the surgery. I never expected him to turn me down flat."

"At the time, I even wondered if I was a has-been, if the younger generation in Jin Country no longer knew the name James!"

Hearing Dean James’s playfully resentful joke, everyone burst into laughter. But amidst the laughter, they were also filled with admiration for Wu Ting.

’This Wu Ting is really something else. For an ordinary person, receiving an invitation from Dean James would be a tremendous honor, yet he just went and refused it.’

In the audience, Hu Zhipeng listened to Dean James’s story, his mouth hanging open. ’So it was true! What Wu Ting said that day about receiving an invitation from Dean James, and about turning it down—it was all true!’

Hu Zhipeng was completely blown away by Wu Ting’s power move.

’In the future, when he gives lectures or presentations, he can just drop this line: "Back in the day, when I was in training at Fuwai, I turned down a surgical invitation from Dean James, president of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association, just so I wouldn’t miss class..."’

’Talk about maxing out your prestige!’

Wu Ting, standing to the side, felt a little awkward.

’I was just trying to prepare seriously for the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition.’

As if he had read Wu Ting’s mind, James added:

"So, in order to increase my influence in the Asia-Pacific Region and in the field of Jin Country Heart Surgery, I’ve signed up to be a judge for this year’s Asia-Pacific international cardiovascular surgery competition."

James looked at Wu Ting with a teasing glint in his eye.

"Director Wu, so that you could get to know me, I successfully got myself appointed as the honorary chairman and one of the chief judges for this competition. Let’s meet on the competition grounds. I look forward to your guidance~"

"A pleasure, a pleasure!"

James humorously extended his hand. Wu Ting hadn’t expected him to pull a stunt like this.

The other trainees in the audience were both shocked and amused by James’s banter.

After the joke, Dean James’s expression turned serious.

"After some brief deliberation, I contacted Director Wu. And after speaking directly with the patient and her family, I decided to personally bring her to Jin Country for the surgery. I also want to thank Director Wu for agreeing to be An Qier’s chief surgeon."

"Facts have proven that my choice was the right one. An Qier received the best possible treatment."

"And I believe that for all of you who came to this academic exchange today and witnessed this surgery from start to finish, you too will feel that this trip was well worth it!"

At this, Dean James gestured seriously and sincerely for everyone to show their respect for Wu Ting.

Once again, the audience gave Wu Ting a sincere round of applause.

Watching everyone applaud, Wu Ting was filled with a sense of accomplishment. To be recognized by these top figures in Jin Country Heart Surgery was a tremendous honor.

Dean James had masterfully controlled the atmosphere and mood of the event. After speaking a bit more and setting the stage perfectly, he finally turned the podium over to Wu Ting.

"Next, let’s have Director Wu share his core paper on Hybrid Technology, *Hybrid Technology Typing: Research on Diversified Treatment Options*, as well as the blueprint it outlines for developing and pioneering a new discipline."

"This is also why I invited you all here today. I want to assist Director Wu, to work together to compile a monograph on Hybrid Technology—or even, the core textbook for a new discipline."

Following the tone set by James, Wu Ting formally took the microphone.

Everyone in the audience was stunned by James’s statement.

Dean James actually believed that Wu Ting’s current research findings and his core paper had the potential to pioneer an entirely new discipline.

And he, the president of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association and the dean of Cleveland Hospital, was willingly playing a supporting role—paving the way, setting the stage, and preparing to organize a compilation committee for a monograph.

While the directors and professors were shocked, the trainees felt like they were in a dream.

’How is it that we’re all trainees, but Wu Ting has started to turn the whole world upside down?’

’Is he inviting these senior directors to be his underlings, his workhorses?’

Amid the crowd’s varied reactions, Wu Ting began his presentation.

A huge PowerPoint slide appeared on the big screen, on which was written:

*Prospects and Research of the Emerging Hybrid Technology Discipline & Establishment of the Book Compilation Committee*

Presenter: Wu Ting

...

Overview of the *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Draft)*...

...

Plan for Establishing the Book Compilation Committee: Book Compilation Committee Members: Editor-in-Chief: Wu Ting, Associate Editors-in-Chief: James Dwayne, Jiang Keji,

Editors: To be determined

...

Looking at the content Wu Ting was about to share, the first impression the directors in attendance had was that the topic was a bit too grandiose.

However, when they saw the plan for the compilation committee and that the two associate editors-in-chief had already been confirmed as Dean James and Scholar Jiang Keji...

...they had no choice but to believe it.

Regardless of the content of this planned book, just having the names of these two associate editors-in-chief attached to it guaranteed it would be nothing short of exceptional.

With two top international and domestic authorities in cardiovascular surgery playing supporting roles, one could only imagine the influence and authority of a book they were jointly supporting and promoting.

What felt even more profound and incredible was the provisional title of this upcoming book: *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Draft)*!

It seemed Dean James wasn’t exaggerating; he was truly preparing to help Wu Ting establish a completely new discipline.

And they were the first group to be chosen—the founding team of this discipline.

Others might not have had such a personal connection to it, but the several directors from Fuwai began to consider the matter with real seriousness.

It wasn’t long ago that they had personally experienced the development of an auxiliary Hybrid Technology with Wu Ting: the beating-heart technique.

As one of the veterans of Hybrid Technology, He Guangzong understood very well that Wu Ting’s current achievements truly had the potential to establish a new discipline.

What Director He Guangzong hadn’t anticipated, however, was how astonishingly fast Wu Ting’s progress was.

Before, it had just been a "14th Five-Year" key project within Fuwai, with participants limited to the ward teams of the Fuwai Cardiovascular Surgery Center.

This time, Wu Ting had elevated it to a whole new level, directly inviting top cardiovascular surgery experts from home and abroad—the first batch of Hybrid Technology explorers in the country.

At this point, all the attendees realized, a bit belatedly, that the guest list for today’s conference had been very carefully curated.

Everyone present was, in fact, the very first research scientists in Jin Country to explore Hybrid Technology under the guidance of Scholar Jiang.

Unfortunately, their progress so far had been limited. To be honest, this group of participants didn’t even believe themselves that Hybrid Technology could reach such great heights.

If, as Dean James and Scholar Jiang had planned, Hybrid Technology really could be developed into a new discipline, then they were indeed the most suitable candidates to compile its foundational textbook.

By the same token, they were indeed the pioneers and the founding team of this discipline.

Suddenly, the weight of responsibility on everyone’s shoulders grew heavier. They all fell silent and began to listen intently to Wu Ting’s detailed presentation.

In the lecture hall, Wu Ting’s voice began to ring out clearly. Meanwhile, staff from relevant media outlets and magazines started recording and shooting close-ups.

As arranged by Steve from the Johnson & Johnson Group, all the material gathered today was crucial. In the future, it would all be part of building Wu Ting’s international influence and packaging his legendary story.

Wu Ting did not disappoint. He began with a detailed and professional report on the paper that had so impressed Scholar Jiang and Dean James, *Hybrid Technology Typing: Research on Diversified Treatment Options*.

After sharing this "Version 1.0" of the paper, Wu Ting then incorporated the progress he had made since.

Most importantly, he included Director He Guangzong’s insights and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of the aorta, as well as the crucial, recently perfected auxiliary Hybrid Technology: the beating-heart technique!

Even Dean James was hearing about this for the first time.

Everyone was moved by Wu Ting’s brilliant presentation, especially by the introduction of the beating-heart technique.

This was a real, implemented case, accomplished at Fuwai together with Director He Guangzong.

With An Qier’s surgery and the beating-heart surgery case study, the speech was incredibly persuasive and inspiring.

After Wu Ting finished his speech, all the pioneers of Hybrid Technology stood up and showed Wu Ting their utmost respect.

Wu Ting’s genius innovations and brilliant expansions had transformed the once-conventional Hybrid Technology, turning it into a truly dazzling pearl!

He had turned a mere research project into a genuine new discipline that would change the entire field of cardiovascular surgery!

Dean James was also astonished by the new content Wu Ting had added. In just a few short days, he had ascended to another level.

While Wu Ting was speaking, he had received many calls from old friends asking about An Qier’s surgery and the chief surgeon involved.

Originally, James had thought it would be enough to have him and Scholar Jiang preside over the project, with this first batch of Jin Country scholars compiling the book.

But Wu Ting’s final, transcendent additions today had shown James an even grander blueprint.

James immediately returned a call to Professor Livingston of the Cardiovascular Surgery Center at the Royal Brompton Hospital in Yun Country, who was also the top authority in the Southern District.

He planned to invite Livingston to Jin Country as well, to have him make the trip personally and join them as an associate editor-in-chief for the *Hybrid Discipline Basic Course (Draft)*.
