Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

The sun was shining brightly. Manxian and Xiaoxiang met at nine o'clock and took a Didi to set off together.

Man Xian's mood improved a little. She felt that such good weather must be God's way of telling her that her situation would eventually clear up.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital where Xiaoxiang's husband worked.

This is a small hospital, and it certainly can't be compared to the big hospital where Manxian and her colleagues work. Whether it's the size of the site or the appearance of the building, there is a huge difference.

Xiaoxiang called her husband, and a few minutes later she saw her husband running towards her in the scorching sun.

After a brief greeting, he took Xiaoxiang and Manxian to his department first.

Xiaoxiang’s husband also works in imaging. He is a technician, not a doctor who reads and signs films.

He said to Man Xian, "Doctor Zhang, I have already told Director Sun of our department about your situation this morning. He said that if you really need his help, it's fine, but there are some inconveniences."

"What's the inconvenience?" Xiaoxiang asked quickly.

"As you know, generally speaking, in addition to writing our own names, we also have to list the department director as the corresponding author of the articles we publish, and then list the names of several other people in our department. In addition, our articles generally also indicate that they are the experimental results of a certain hospital and a certain department. These are all natural unspoken rules.

If the article you wrote, Dr. Zhang, only mentions the names and titles of people in your department, then Director Sun would have worked in vain. You should know that the journals you want to publish your paper in are of high quality, which means that they have to spend a lot of effort to revise it for you, and they may even have to help you contact the people in the journal, which involves social relationships.

Also, if you want to use Director Sun's name on your article, including the name of our imaging department, then, to put it bluntly, you will offend your department. After all, we are all brother hospitals, and we often meet each other at meetings and consultations. That would be very embarrassing. Moreover, it will be very detrimental to your future relationship with leaders and colleagues in the department.

So, Dr. Zhang, you must think it through. Once you take this step, it means you may offend your director, which will further affect how you gain a foothold in the department in the future."

These words made Man Xian suddenly realize. But now, what other options did she have?

While a few people were talking, Director Sun pushed the door open and walked in.

Man Xian and a few others quickly stood up and bowed to him.

Director Sun also smiled and bowed slightly to them.

"Please take a seat. Doctor Zhang, I know you are Director Cao's student. I also know him, so we are old acquaintances. Xiao Shi told me about your situation this morning. Indeed, the field you are working in is relatively unpopular, so it is indeed difficult to find someone who can guide you in this field."

Man Xian said quickly, "Yes, Director Sun. In our department, only our senior brother has some accomplishments in this area. Even my mentor, Director Cao, is not good at this direction. He asked me to do this in the hope that I could expand a new field for the department. But now, my senior brother is unwilling to help, which leaves me at a loss."

Director Sun frowned and said, "Since Director Cao has designated this direction for you to explore, he should provide you with help. He can't point you to a road that almost no one has taken and then ignore you. You should go find him and ask him to tell your senior brother that he must help you!"

"However, there is another female colleague in the department who is also researching the same direction as me. And as you know, this direction is currently very difficult, and the journal we want to publish in is a high-level core journal, so it requires a lot of time and effort. Our senior brother is also very busy, and he takes care of many things for Director Cao. He can't guide both of our papers at the same time. So he chose that female colleague and rejected me." Man Xian was about to cry as she spoke.

Man Xian continued, "Also, I'm now more than five months pregnant. The senior brother may also think that it's not convenient for me to do scientific research now. I'll have to take maternity leave after giving birth, so he has even less interest in helping me."

Director Sun nodded and said, "Yes! You are at this critical juncture. A girl's pregnancy and childbirth will indeed delay many career matters. However, I think you still need to communicate with your Director Cao about this problem. If I take over your thesis without authorization, he will be very unhappy once he finds out. You need to get his consent, and then I can show you the thesis and give you some suggestions. Do you think this is okay?"

Man Xian had no choice but to nod and said, "Then... I'll try to communicate with him."

"Yes, I must communicate with him clearly. How can I do that? After all, these are the students I nurtured. How can I just ignore them? No matter how busy I am, I have to lend a hand!"

Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Sun! Then, we will go talk to Director Cao and give you feedback on the results."

"Okay! I'll be busy now, you guys continue chatting." After saying that, Director Sun stood up.

"Director Sun, these are the local specialties of our hometown. They are just a small token of our respect." Xiaoxiang quickly handed two bags of beautifully packaged gifts to Director Sun.

"Oh, you are all doctors, and doctors from big hospitals at that. You know that rules and regulations are very strict nowadays! And there are cameras here, so don't do this. Everyone has to be careful. Haha!" Director Sun said with a smile, then pushed the door open and walked out.

Xiaoxiang looked at Manxian and said, "Manxian, look, why don't you go back and talk to your director?"

Man Xian was not in a good mood, but nodded and said, "Okay. It seems that this is the only way..."

Xiaoxiang's husband called a Didi for them, and they took the Didi back to the hospital.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiang, for taking up your time for my sake." Manxian felt very sorry.

"Manxian, this is nothing. I just want to tell you something. Only crying children get milk! You must remember this."

Man Xian lowered her head and said, "But... I don't want this to happen. I really don't like scheming and playing tricks. I... I'm not aloof, but, I... maybe, I really can't do that..."

"You have to learn even if you don't know how! You have to learn to do it! Even force yourself to do it! Because if you want to make progress and move forward, you must adapt to the ways of the world. If you don't have those ambitions, then you don't have to learn how to do it, it's enough as long as you can sign films. Do you understand?" Xiaoxiang looked into Manxian's eyes firmly and said.

"Okay, Xiaoxiang, I'll try my best to learn. The crying child gets the milk."
