Professor Ma and Professor Shen were even more blunt, stating that they valued and were investing in Wu Ting himself, not in City First Hospital as a platform.
The three professors weren't afraid of the City First Hospital leadership targeting Wu Ting or trying to make things difficult for him. On the contrary, they were determined to give Wu Ting their full support and favor.
They wanted to make it clear that the research center's true purpose was its creation around Wu Ting to support his research activities.
This was a research center where academia purely reigned over the administration. If the leaders of City First Hospital tried to play any games, it would be playing right into the professors' hands—they could just take Wu Ting and his projects and shut the center down.
This was also why Ma Mengchao had arranged for his doctoral student, Ling Ling, to join the research center. Besides conducting research, she was also there to keep an eye on things.
