To complete such a project in just one year, if anyone else said it, everyone would surely think it's fantasy. But when Professor Yang says it, no one thinks there's anything wrong.

Everyone simultaneously fell silent, including Tang Shun and Song Zimo. They knew that Professor Yang never bragged, although sometimes his words sounded boastful, in the end, no matter how big the boast seemed, it would still come true.

Yet now, the timeline following this project--a year is expected. Will it still proceed as smoothly as before, without any deviation in direction?

"We'll arrange it for a year and see if anyone has any suggestions?" Tang Shun had no reason not to believe the professor, although the timeline was a bit far-fetched.

Everyone had the same mindset, wondering whether the professor already had detailed plans for the next step and could once again make precise judgments about the direction of the research as he had before.

"Why is no one speaking? If you have any opinions, just speak up. Meetings are for discussion, to let everyone talk," Yang Ping thought the atmosphere was odd; everyone had been lively just now, why had it suddenly become quiet?

It seemed that in the future he should attend fewer meetings. Perhaps everyone still viewed him as an authority. Since he spoke, no one dared voice differing opinions. The tendency to idolize authority was not a good thing, so he usually made sure to speak last, to minimize interference with others' speaking.

"We've just had the discussion, everyone enthusiastically spoke, there were many differing opinions, but now everyone's views aligned, a year, just...a year," Tang Shun said.

Next to him, Lu Xiaolu nodded too: "Yes, we discussed it just now, a year."

Oh!

Perhaps while I was resting my eyes, they had already discussed it. That's still fine, I'm the last to speak, Yang Ping thought.

"See if anyone has different opinions. If not, we'll decide it this way," Tang Shun asked everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, Yang Ping took the opportunity to visit the International Medical Center to see Mr. Adams. His mental state was improving day by day; the patient's confidence is very important, and a healthy mental state can form a positive cycle with treatment.

A heart full of despair is very frightening. Many cancer patients may not physically collapse so quickly from a medical standpoint; many experience a rapid physical decline shortly after diagnosis primarily due to a series of chain reactions triggered by mental collapse.

There was once a case of a patient diagnosed with lung cancer due to an inflammatory lung nodule, the patient was originally well but after knowing they had lung cancer, they immediately had a mental breakdown, and then gradually their body entered a late-stage cancer state, their organs on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, at the last moment, an old professor overturned the diagnosis---it was just an inflammatory mass in the lung. Without any treatment, the patient's body gradually returned to normal.

Returning from the International Medical Center, Yang Ping ran into Professor Zhang Zongshun on the way. He was walking briskly and said when he saw Yang Ping: "You haven't gotten off work yet?"

"I'm about to!" Yang Ping replied.

Professor Zhang said: "Today is Friday, head home early. My wife just kept calling to rush me; she said we're going to see a movie tonight."

After speaking, Professor Zhang patted his pocket, wondering why there was no movie ticket, did he forget to bring it?

He thought for a bit, realizing there was no need for a physical ticket because he just bought it via Alipay on his phone, needing to claim the ticket at the venue.

Today is the weekend, and Professor Su doesn't have much going on either. Unlike other principals, he doesn't micromanage every detail, preferring to delegate authority, clearly dividing the responsibilities among the vice-principals, making his work less arduous.

He took the weekend to visit his daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. People are strange in that they tend to spoil the next generation more; Professor Su was already indulgent towards Xiao Su, and now he's even more indulgent towards his little grandson. Upon arriving at Yang Ping's house, he wouldn't let go of his grandson, who was very clever, giggling at his grandfather, making Professor Su's heart feel sweet like honey. Mrs. Su wanted to showcase her culinary skills over the weekend, so as soon as she got home, she rolled up her sleeves and busied herself in the kitchen. Her cooking was exquisite, passed down through her family; Mrs. Su's mother always advised her that women should be able to manage the kitchen and the living room. If they couldn't manage the living room, they should at least manage the kitchen, and Mrs. Su did not disappoint, having achieved both.

Even though Xiao Su's family conditions were good, Mrs. Su did not let her daughter become a princess only knowing how to make instant noodles. She always told her daughter that to manage the kitchen and the living room, comparing women and men, each has advantages and flaws. True equality between men and women is about leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses, cooperating with each other to build a happy family.

While Mrs. Su busied in the kitchen, Xiao Su assisted from the side, and Professor Su was in the living room teasing his grandson. When Yang Ping returned from work, he greeted his in-laws warmly, addressing them as mom and dad.

Professor Su sat the child on his lap and started chatting with Yang Ping, understanding his recent career progress. Since both were in the medical field, they had plenty of common topics, making each chat like a family academic discussion.

As they were chatting, Su Nanchen and Lin Lan also arrived. Lin Lan rolled up her sleeves to help in the kitchen, allowing Xiao Su to take a break and take care of the child. Xiao Su said: "You go take care of the child. I'll take one for the team and let you practice on my son, as a sort of internship."
