Early the next morning, Blake Langley packed up briefly and prepared to visit the job market. He planned to practice martial arts, but now was not the right time. According to his memory, news about cultivating internal energy would only spread a year later. Besides, even if he wanted to practice martial arts, he still needed to eat, so he had to find a job—preferably one where he could just coast along.
Huzhou was a newly emerging city, extremely eager for all kinds of talent. There were quite a few people like Blake Langley who had come from other cities specifically to look for work in Huzhou.
In the eyes of many graduates, Huzhou now was just like Hu Hai back in the day. Many of those who went to Hu Hai early on had now become successful people. As a result, the Huzhou job market was packed to capacity at almost every event.
Likewise, since major companies were setting up branches in Huzhou one after another, finding a job in Huzhou was relatively easy. Because Blake Langley lived in the suburbs, by the time he arrived at the job market, the Huzhou Spring Plaza job fair was already packed with people.
Blake Langley had studied medicine, and his medical skills were absolutely top-tier in the current world. However, for Blake Langley, as long as he could find a job, it didn’t matter whether it was related to medicine or not.
Of course, it would be even better if he could find a job related to being a doctor. At this moment, Blake Langley was standing in front of a recruitment booth: Kunhu Hospital, recruiting three resident physicians, requiring a master’s degree in medicine, age not exceeding 35, clinical experience preferred, salary negotiable...
There were also positions for department leaders or teams in specialties such as neurology, neurovascular intervention, and nuclear medicine.
Blake Langley glanced at the handwritten resume in his hand, then sat down and handed it to the bespectacled interviewer in front of him. He decided to give it a try; if it didn’t work out, he would look for a non-medical job.
“Haiyang Medical University? That’s a great place. The discovery of lancomycin has helped so many people.” Seeing the university Blake Langley attended, the interviewer couldn’t help but praise it. Although he could tell at a glance that Blake Langley didn’t meet their requirements, his attitude softened considerably, clearly having a very good impression of Haiyang Medical University.
Haiyang Medical University ranked among the top three medical schools in China. Not only that, but even worldwide, Haiyang Medical University was renowned. In 2039, Haiyang Medical University discovered lancomycin, an antibiotic that could inhibit or even kill more than twenty types of cancer cells. Since then, cancer was no longer a matter of luck in treatment.
But Blake Langley knew very well that lancomycin discovered by Haiyang Medical University had a fatal flaw: after killing cancer cells, it would produce a latent harmful cell that severely damaged the patient’s liver and spleen. This new cell was strange—it would lie dormant for five to seven years before suddenly erupting and spreading.
It was now 2043, which meant there was still a year before the lancomycin incident would break out. After that, it would become a powder keg, eventually destroying Haiyang Medical University and ruining a group of renowned doctors. After the problem with lancomycin was discovered, Blake Langley even participated in its further development. Before the nuclear war broke out, lancomycin had already been completely perfected and the hidden danger eliminated.
Blake Langley was more than clear about the history of lancomycin.
Because Blake Langley came from Haiyang Medical University, even though he looked too young, the interviewer was still somewhat interested in Blake Langley’s handwritten resume. But soon, his expression turned a bit unpleasant. He put down the resume and sighed, “You haven’t graduated yet?”
Blake Langley knew this was his major shortcoming. Now that the other party asked, he could only reply, “Yes, I haven’t graduated yet.”
As for the reason, there was no need to explain, and the other party didn’t need to hear it. He was just sitting here to try his luck, to see if there were any assistant or non-staff positions available.
The interviewer tapped his fingers on the table absentmindedly. After a while, he finally said, “Without graduating, you can’t enter Kunhu Hospital. Even though I think highly of you, there’s nothing I can do.”
Not to mention Blake Langley hadn’t graduated—even if he had, as a fresh graduate with no work experience, even from Haiyang Medical University, he wouldn’t be qualified to enter Kunhu Hospital. As for “thinking highly of Blake Langley,” that was just a polite remark.
Blake Langley knew the interviewer had a very good impression of him; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so much small talk. Thinking of this, Blake Langley stood up and said, “Actually, lancomycin isn’t perfect. Right now, it’s best not to let patients rely entirely on lancomycin for treatment.”
This was simply a kind reminder from Blake Langley. After the lancomycin side effects broke out, many doctors became scapegoats. In fact, some people who didn’t get lancomycin injections couldn’t even last a year or two, but after living a few more years, they still chased after lancomycin for high compensation. If it weren’t for national support, Haiyang Medical University would have collapsed in this incident.
“What?” Jack Jefferson heard Blake Langley’s words and suddenly stood up, his hands trembling.
