At 9:00 a.m. on Monday, inside the administrative building of the Affiliated Hospital.
The hospital leadership's weekly routine meeting was held on time in the small conference room on the seventh floor. As per standard practice, the attending leaders first gave their reports and summaries on the completion of last week's major tasks. After this agenda item was finished, Chen Yu took the floor to give a detailed briefing on the targeted blacklisting of the Affiliated Hospital by Jingcheng's medical journals.
"As of this morning, over the past three weeks, the data I have received shows that nineteen graduate students and young doctors have had their papers returned, and forty-one have been rejected," she stated. "These numbers are clearly abnormal. The blacklisting is undoubtedly real."
