Chapter 1267: The Hermit Has a Cunning Plan! (Extra 3/40 for the Prosperity of the Silver League's Wife-Loving Association)
The table was laden with dishes, the result of an entire afternoon's effort by Qin Yongyi and his wife.
Busy with work during the week, spending a weekend cooking good food was a kind of enjoyment.
Chen Cang smiled and said, "I really have to thank Uncle and Aunt for the trouble!"
Qin Yongyi chuckled, "Our family, just the three of us, with two women, can't eat much. When there's a crowd, we can cook more dishes, and mealtime becomes livelier."
The food carried a homely flavor, and the atmosphere was filled with warmth and joy.
After dinner, Qin Yue accompanied her aunt to clear the table and wash the dishes, while Qin Meng went to study—she was in her senior year of high school, and the young girl was under a lot of pressure.
Meanwhile, Qin Yongyi invited Chen Cang into the study for a chat.
The Qin family lived in a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment. Since guests rarely visited, one of the bedrooms had been converted into a study—a practical arrangement.
Once seated, the two began some casual conversation.
Chen Cang didn't bring up the patent issue.
Could his third uncle help?
Of course, he could!
After all, as someone responsible for international health exchanges, Qin Yongyi must have significant connections abroad.
However, this time, the problem was stuck domestically.
And while the Qin family had a solid footing in the medical system, they were still no match for Tan Zhengyang's level of influence in elite circles.
Suddenly, Qin Yongyi brought up something: "Oh, by the way, the 23rd International Medical Expo will be held soon in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I've got a few tickets—if you're free, take Qin Yue for a trip."
When Chen Cang heard this, he frowned slightly. "How does one participate in this expo?"
Qin Yongyi couldn't help but laugh. "Its full name is the International Health and Medical Expo. Each country showcases the latest innovations in their medical industry. There's also an awards ceremony."
Hearing this, Chen Cang immediately became interested.
"Third Uncle, what's the significance of winning an award?"
Qin Yongyi teased, "Let me put it this way—if you manage to win, it might not be as grand as the 'Big Three Awards,' but becoming a Changjiang Scholar wouldn't be a problem!"
"Our country has never won before; the awards are basically dominated by Western countries."
"But…it's a great way to broaden your horizons. You young people should take the opportunity to explore."
Chen Cang smiled slightly, and new ideas started forming in his mind. He casually took the tickets as well.
Before long, Qin Yue joined them in the study.
The family chatted for over an hour. It was past nine o'clock by the time Chen Cang and Qin Yue took their leave.
On the way back, Chen Cang had already begun planning his next steps.

...
When he got home, Chen Cang didn't waste any time—he opened his laptop and created a new document.
"Clinical Study on the Role of the Chen Aortic Stent in Reducing Mortality Rates of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Replacement Surgeries in Marfan Syndrome Patients"
You wanted me to write a paper on the Chen Aortic Stent technology?
Fine!
I'll write one.
Backing down?
Dream on!
Of course, Chen Cang wouldn't submit it to that ridiculous "New Edition of the Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery."
With 35 cases from the first-phase clinical trial, the small sample size was already statistically significant.
Thus, the paper was certainly feasible.
Chen Cang had all the clinical trial data on hand, so he opened Word and got straight to work.
Although Chen Cang didn't think of himself as exceptionally talented, he had absolute confidence in both the Chen Aortic Stent technology and the corresponding materials.
Here's the gist of it:
The Chen Aortic Stent technology serves as the user manual for the material.
Conversely, the material also enhances the surgical benefits of the Chen Aortic Stent.
The two complement each other perfectly.
Chen Cang highlighted the advantages of the Chen Aortic Stent technology and, through data analysis and clinical trial results, concluded that this technique, combined with the material, effectively reduced mortality rates for aortic dissection surgeries.
This had significant life-saving implications for high-risk Marfan syndrome patients!
For the next two days, Chen Cang worked tirelessly on the paper in every spare moment.
Three days later, a polished paper was finally complete.
However, Chen Cang skillfully hinted within the text that:
The Chen Aortic Stent material had already been developed…
Once finished, Chen Cang directly called the editor-in-chief of *The Lancet*.
Given Chen Cang's growing international reputation, reaching *The Lancet's* editor-in-chief was now relatively easy for him.
When the editor saw the paper, they were immediately stunned!
New surgical technique!
New material!
Marfan syndrome!
Mortality rates!
Each of these keywords alone was incredibly compelling!
Combined into a single paper, and with Chen Cang's name attached, it became an irresistible topic for discussion.
Without hesitation, the editor opened the file and began reading.
The article was long.
At least four or five pages.
Ordinarily, such a length would take up too much space, making it hard to pass editorial review.
But this time was different.
The editor spent the entire morning engrossed in the paper, feeling a mix of amazement and even a little nervous excitement.
This paper was no ordinary submission!
After finishing, the editor couldn't help rubbing their palms together.
The chilling sensation running through their core made it hard to believe this was real.
A five-page article, so captivating that even after finishing it, the editor couldn't bear to put it down and felt compelled to reread it.
An excellent paper, like a masterful essay, carried an air of mystery that made it unforgettable.
This paper of Chen Cang's prompted the *Lancet* editor-in-chief to make an immediate decision.
A July issue supplement!
Add five extra pages, place it as the final feature article, and ensure the headline was prominently displayed to ensure more readers could see this piece.
Such good news deserved to be shared more broadly.
With this thought, the editor added an annotation to the document's file name on their computer.
"Special mention for the cover page: 'A Breakthrough for Marfan Patients!'"
The review editor, seeing the content, was instantly dumbfounded.
To warrant such high praise from the editor-in-chief, with a cover title so eye-catching—just who was this person?
The editor-in-chief then called Chen Cang.
"Professor Chen, my apologies, but I need to confirm the data's authenticity. Also…has the Chen Aortic Stent model truly been realized?"
Chen Cang smiled. "I stake my reputation on it. I'm a clinical practitioner."
"Moreover, the material already has a working model! In fact, I can present it at the 23rd Medical Expo in Abu Dhabi!"
The editor was dumbfounded!
So he came prepared after all.
With this realization, after hanging up, the editor immediately called the layout department: "Add another annotation to Chen Cang's paper: 'A revolutionary item destined for awards!'"
