Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1950 - 1334: Group Photo (Part 3)
If only I could take a photo with Professor Yang, that would be even better!
However, Professor Yang has already refused to take photos with leaders, entrepreneurs, and media figures. The director of the Education Department, where Wang Qingru works, personally went to Nandu Medical University and Sanbo Hospital to offer congratulations and hoped to take a commemorative photo with Yang Ping, but... it was rejected. It’s known by everyone in the department that even his shadow wasn’t seen; that’s just how resolute Professor Yang is, refusing to take photos or interact with anyone.
Xu Zhiliang was in a dilemma, but seeing the hopeful look in his wife’s eyes, he couldn’t bear to refuse.
"I, I’ll ask, ask, ask... our professor..." he stammered.
"Don’t trouble Professor Yang!" Wang Qingru quickly said, "He’s so busy, I just want to go to work with you. If I can’t take a photo with the medal, taking a picture at the entrance of your laboratory would be fine. I promise not to touch anything or reveal any secrets!"
After much hesitation, Xu Zhiliang nodded. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The next day, he quietly brought his wife into the institute when there were few people at noon. Just as they entered the hall, they ran into Yang Ping, who was about to have lunch.
"Pro, Pro...fessor!" Xu Zhiliang turned pale.
Yang Ping looked at him, then at the nervous Wang Qingru next to him, and suddenly smiled: "Dr. Xu, is this your wife?"
"Yes, yes, she, she just wants to take a photo..." Xu Zhiliang, being an honest person, confessed without being asked.
"Go ahead and take one!" Yang Ping generously said, "This way, let’s go to the honor display room. The medal was just placed there today; the background is better."
Wang Qingru was speechless with surprise. She actually wanted to take a photo of the medal, preferably with him and Xu Zhiliang standing together, with the medal as the background.
Yang Ping personally led them to the newly arranged honor display room. Two Nobel Prize Medals were placed in a specially made bulletproof glass case, gleaming under the soft lights.
"Take your photo here," Yang Ping said, "Dr. Xu is the clinical core of our team. Without his work, the theory wouldn’t have moved to clinical application. This medal has his share of credit. You, as his wife, have always silently supported his work, and I must thank you. Taking a photo is nothing; you can take it however you like. Would you like me to be a model and take a photo with you?"
Xu Zhiliang’s eyes were a bit moist: "Pro, professor..."
Wang Qingru was so excited she couldn’t speak. She had heard that Yang Ping refused to take photos with others, and now he was offering to take a photo with them as a couple. This was beyond her expectations.
Subsequently, Wang Qingru took several satisfying photos. Before leaving, she gave a deep bow to Yang Ping: "Thank you, Professor Yang! It’s our family’s honor that Old Xu can work in your team!"
Yang Ping smiled: "It’s our honor to have partners like Dr. Xu."
This matter somehow spread. The next day, an extra announcement appeared in the institute’s administrative notice:
"In view of the reasonable expectations of team members’ family members, the institute’s honor display room will be open for visits from 9 to 11 a.m. every Saturday. Professor Yang will cooperate for photographs, reservations required in advance. This is limited to direct relatives of the team, with each visit not exceeding 15 minutes."
The announcement caused a stir in the institute’s family chat group.
Dressed appropriately and orderly, the family group, led by Li Yingtong, quietly visited the display room, took photos with Professor Yang and the medal, and then quietly left. The entire process didn’t exceed 15 minutes, leaving no trace on the floor.
Everyone knew that many leaders, entrepreneurs, and media figures wanted to take photos with Professor Yang, but all were rejected by him.
