Chapter 1693: Is the Nobel Prize Just One? Shouldn't There Be a Dozen?
If Tethys doesn't remember very clearly.
Then, behind him, John's expression was somewhat complicated.
After all...
A few days ago, Tethys had coaxed Chen Cang just like that.
And now...
Those words have been thrown back by Chen Cang!
Moreover!
Said with even less tact...
Back then, Tethys at least decided to give Chen Cang a percentage based on contribution, but now... Chen Cang directly demanded a shared research process, just to prove Tethys wasn't wrong.
History!
Always strikingly similar.
And it's similar to a very subtle degree.
If Tethys had been more fair to Chen Cang back then, Chen Cang wouldn't have minded sharing a bit more findings.
But, adults, right!
They all need to pay for their mistakes.
Chen Cang is not some fool with too much money, a big philanthropist; even if he's doing charity, there's no need to come here to do it.
Tethys adjusted his mood well, and when he heard Chen Cang say this, his eyes lit up suddenly.
Researchers, have goals.
They need to produce results.
With achievements, lacking funds?
If he really could prove himself, win a Nobel, why would he care about those ugly faces of capitalists?
He didn't expect Chen Cang to invite him, bearing no grudges.
To be honest, achieving this, Tethys was already immensely grateful to Chen Cang.
He opened his mouth, with a self-deprecating smile: "Thank you, Professor Chen!"
"I am willing!"
John was about to speak, but Tethys directly said: "John, trust me, it's the right move!"
"If there is a partner in this world who can help us prove ourselves, it has to be Professor Chen, because I believe, besides him, no one understands Parkinson's better than I do!"
"Even if I'm wrong, but... I've just taken a detour, not a wrong path!"
Tethys's logic was meticulous and clear.
He knew, what he needed was an opportunity and time.
But!
He had to collaborate with Chen Cang, then he could have a chance.
Because working with anyone else, he wouldn't be able to surpass Chen Cang, and by the time Chen Cang finished the Parkinson's research, any results he had would be in vain.
So he was very clear, right now this was his only chance to turn things around.
But Tethys was curious about one point, why did Chen Cang invite him?
Since he, Tethys, realized that his rise could not exclude Chen Cang as a key point, then... Chen Cang certainly could see this too!
Logically, even if he isn't Chen Cang's enemy, he must be his rival.
And he... back then...
Thinking of this, Tethys couldn't help but ask: "Professor Chen... why?"
"Even though you could research Parkinson's and its elements yourself, why invite me?"
Indeed!
In Tethys's eyes, Chen Cang is an absolute genius!
From the last meeting, to researching folded α-synuclein, and then discovering Parkinson's autoimmunity, how long did it take altogether?
This not only takes great luck but also sufficient strength, a keen judgment for research, and the ability to speculate, hypothesize... experiment amidst various complex research advances...
Research truly tests a person's overall strength!
Clearly, Chen Cang's talent and capability were definitely above his own.
Now Tethys looked at Chen Cang with eyes full of admiration.
Hearing this, Chen Cang smiled faintly, acting cool!
Indeed!
He had to act!
Because he truly was just an apprentice in research!
But could he say that?
Of course not!
Only I know I'm a weakling in the world; that's how it should be.
Sure enough, seeing Chen Cang's smile, Tethys and John couldn't help but feel a twinge of anxiety, a bit guilty.
Of course, they didn't know, Chen Cang felt even more timid inside!
But, losing face is not an option, Chen Cang calmly said: "Because my goal is not just Parkinson's."
Sure enough, hearing Chen Cang's words, Tethys was stunned!
Indeed!
Professor Chen's goal isn't just Parkinson's!
What Nobel?
He might not even care.
He cared about ten or eight Nobel prizes.
Thinking of this, Tethys felt a sudden enlightenment, he had always considered Professor Chen a rival, only to suddenly realize...
Chen Cang never saw him as a rival!
It was all his own imagined enemy!
Thinking of this, Tethys's face turned red, feeling somewhat ashamed.
John stood there too, his mind somewhat frozen.
This sentence, if spoken by someone else, they might at most take it as a joke.
But!
This was Chen Cang.
Even though it was his first time stepping into the research circle, in the medical field, he was already revered as a god.
Vice president-elect of the Cardiothoracic AATS, president of the World Digestive Surgery Committee, now tackling Parkinson's in neurosurgery.
This kind of person was clearly the crossover king in the field.
Hence, the calmer Chen Cang spoke these words, the more impactful and shocking they felt to Tethys and John!
At this moment, Tethys understood the meaning behind Chen Cang's words!
His eyes were filled with excitement, akin to when they got their first break.
Full of excitement and longing, and a vision of the target.
At this moment, Chen Cang once again gave them dreams.
Indeed, why be stuck on just Parkinson's?
All of a sudden, Tethys felt there was more future in following Chen Cang than conquering Parkinson's and winning a Nobel!
Chen Cang suddenly asked: "Professor Tethys, take your time to think it over, I'm heading back tomorrow, I hope to get your reply before I leave."
Right after Chen Cang finished speaking, Tethys abruptly gave his answer!
"No need to think it over, Professor Chen, I'm willing to follow you!"
With just one sentence, Chen Cang was visibly caught off guard.
This fast?
John also nodded: "Indeed! Professor Chen, we are willing to follow you."
Only a fool wouldn't follow!
Right now, Chen Cang is clearly a gold mine.
Who wouldn't want to come?
Chen Cang didn't expect that invisible coolness would have such an effect!
Thinking of this, Chen Cang didn't refuse:
"Okay, you guys tidy up things recently, take a little break, oh, and the lab equipment can be transported to China directly, we can save money and skip buying."
"Our lab building is under construction!"
"And I'm forming a research team."
"Now, I officially welcome you to join."
Tethys and John exchanged a glance, couldn't help but say: "We... are the first batch?"
Chen Cang nodded, smiling: "Indeed!"
Tethys suddenly felt he hit the jackpot.
If it weren't for just starting, they certainly wouldn't want us.
Indeed, blessings and misfortunes come hand in hand.
Who could have thought, they'd encounter something like this!
