Chapter 400 - 250: Forbes 30 Under 30 Elite List Announced
Chapter 400: Chapter 250: Forbes 30 Under 30 Elite List Announced
Wu Ting was now a deputy chief physician, a third-line role. He didn’t need to be present unless something major happened. Even then, it was only a few minutes’ drive from his company, so it hardly affected his other work.
Half an hour later.
Deng Feifei woke up first. It took her a moment to get her bearings and realize that Wu Ting’s massage had put her to sleep.
She took out her phone to check the time, then removed the jacket covering her and glanced over at Wu Ting, who was napping on the nearby sofa.
Deng Feifei tiptoed over and draped the jacket over Wu Ting.
She used the faint light from her phone to illuminate Wu Ting’s face.
’He really is handsome.’
Deng Feifei studied him up close. The more she looked, the more she liked what she saw. Seeing how soundly he was sleeping, she grew bolder.
’You got to pin me down earlier, so it’s only fair that I get a little something for myself now.’
Deng Feifei turned off her phone’s light and quietly leaned in. Just as their noses were about to touch, she tilted her head, preparing to steal a kiss.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands and strong arms wrapped around her waist.
"Mmmph..."
In the pitch-black office, the air was thick with hormones.
...
...
「The next morning.」
A sensational piece of news went viral.
*Forbes Jin Country 30 Under 30 List Announced*
Forbes Jin Country released its annual 30 Under 30 list, featuring 154 young people from 12 industries. The honorees included Jin Country’s first Formula 1 driver, an Olympic champion from Qinghe City... and young elites from the world of technology!
As in previous years, the list’s honorees were typically outstanding entrepreneurs, innovators in key positions, pioneers of technological breakthroughs, and sports stars. They were all representatives of innovation and youth leadership!
The average age of this year’s honorees was 28.2, with over half holding a master’s degree, doctorate, or higher.
In terms of gender, 30% of the honorees were women. Female honorees held a relative majority in the sports, education, and social enterprise categories. Meanwhile, men continued to dominate in fields like industry and technology.
Geographically, the honorees were concentrated in major cities like Qinghe City, Xianglin City, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
Xiao City and Suzhou followed close behind. As Fan City’s sole honoree this year, Wu Ting was immediately featured in a congratulatory broadcast on the local news.
Suddenly, Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company, Fan City First Hospital, and even Fan City University Medical College—which had just finalized its contract with Wu Ting—all started trending online.
In addition to Wu Ting himself, these institutions also received a great deal of attention.
Earning a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list was proof of one’s social influence. Every single person selected was a future star in their respective industry.
Wu Ting’s selection also drew the attention of many domestic investors to him, to Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company, and to Jin Pharmaceutical Group, where he was the second-largest shareholder.
Because of Wu Ting, representatives from many domestic investment firms suddenly began making plans to converge on Jin Province, specifically to evaluate Jin Pharmaceutical Group and Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company.
The various patented products from Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company, which had been selling like hotcakes, also came onto the radar of many of these investors.
To their pleasant surprise, these investors discovered that Wu Ting and his Wu’s Pharmaceutical Company had the potential to become a unicorn in the medical sector!
While this was causing a stir in the business world, Wu Ting was also creating a sensation at Fan City University Medical College.
The Medical College’s online forum completely blew up.
"Holy crap, Professor Wu is incredible! The Forbes 30 Under 30 list! He’s a total role model for people like us."
"I’m really looking forward to Professor Wu’s long-term collaboration with our medical college."
"Handsome and talented... Professor Wu is the total package."
As his reputation among the students reached a new high, Fan City University Medical College capitalized on the momentum and released a new personnel announcement.
The announcement confirmed that Duan Xingping would be succeeding Professor Long as the director of the Medical Experiment Center.
Deputy Director Guan Bao was transferred to the student affairs office for "personal reasons."
The college also hired Lou Musaang, former chief scientist at Jin Pharmaceutical Group’s R&D center. She was appointed head of the newly established pharmacy experiment base and would also serve as a professor of pharmacology in the pharmacy department.
Lou Musaang’s body had mostly recovered after the first phase of her cardiovascular stent implantation. She was now awaiting the second-phase surgery.
Since she was still in her recovery period, she wasn’t suited for a heavy R&D workload.
Therefore, Lou Musaang resigned from Jin Pharmaceutical Group to take on the less demanding role as head of the experiment base at Fan City University’s Medical Experiment Center, where she would also participate in some teaching.
Moreover, in the lab, she could still collaborate with Jia Jun and Wu Ting on new projects.
With this round of personnel changes, the entire Medical Experiment Center was now essentially staffed with Wu Ting’s own people.
Of course, this wasn’t just about connections; both Wu Ting and Lou Musaang were genuinely exceptional in their own right.
Given Lou Musaang’s background from a prestigious medical family, her academic credentials, and her research experience, even a top institution like Jinggang University Medical College would have been desperate to hire her had she been willing.
But it was because of Wu Ting that she chose Fan City University Medical College.
This was, of course, a deliberate move on Wu Ting’s part.
Lou Musaang was a key asset for his future plans—a crucial piece for establishing his foothold and developing the program at Fan City University Medical College.
