This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 132 Group Fight!
At 9:40 p.m., the night was pitch black, with stars twinkling in the sky.

"This parking fee is outrageous, it's almost as much as my fare from Han City back to En City," Lu Cheng complained as he scanned the QR code to exit.

Mu Nanshu said, "Thirty yuan a day is expensive in Enshi, but it's considered good in some parts of Hanshi."

“But having a car is convenient after all.” Mu Nanshu sat comfortably in the passenger seat, looking out the window.

"The scenery around the train station has changed a lot compared to before. It wasn't like this before."

Mu Nanshu studied in Shanghai for his undergraduate degree. At that time, there was no train service to Longxian County. The student ticket discount range was from Shanghai to Enshi, while Lu Cheng's discount range was from Wuhan to Enshi.

Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu also traveled together, but sometimes Mu Nanshu would buy a ticket from Enshi to Shanghai but get off in Wuhan, or Lu Cheng would extend his journey directly to Shanghai...

"Should we get out and buy something to eat? I wonder if that fried duck neck shop still has it." Lu Cheng turned on his right turn signal and asked.

Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu's memories consisted only of trivial details, food, and drink; nothing else.

Daily memories are rather fragmented.

"No thanks then. Eating fried meat is not as good as going back to Longxian to have some barbecue." Mu Nanshu shook his head.

Lu Cheng turned the turn signal on: "Then I'll just follow the navigation back."

"Okay, good!" Mu Nanshu yawned.

Actually, she often stays up late, but staying up late doesn't mean Mu Nanshu isn't sleepy. She usually suppresses her sleepiness while studying and working.

The entire journey from Enshi to Longxian is via expressway, taking less than two hours.

Lu Cheng first took Mu Nanshu to her residential complex, Chengxin Plaza, and then helped her make her bed after taking her upstairs.

"Then you rest first, I'll go back to work."

"It's already 11:42, just in time to get to the department for my shift at 12 o'clock." Lu Cheng looked around. Although the floor still needed to be cleaned, he really didn't have time.

"Go ahead, you still have to go on duty, can you handle it?" Mu Nanshu asked.

Lu Cheng waved his hand dismissively and didn't linger: "Hey, what does it matter to us in this line of work? We just have to endure it."

Mu Nanshu watched Lu Cheng's departing figure without trying to stop him. Only after Lu Cheng disappeared through the door did she begin cleaning.

If we're going to seriously work on this research project in Long County this time, it will take at least a few months, maybe even half a year.

This is the first project I've officially participated in since I started working, and I need to do it well so that I can give the lab and my organization an explanation.

She is currently a full-time researcher, and her holidays are flexible, but she must produce output.

Papers and research grant applications are both considered outputs.

As long as you have enough output, no one will care if you sleep at home every day.

"..."

"Brother Han, thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry I was delayed by something and came back late."

"I'll treat you to dinner another day." When Lu Cheng entered the doctor's lounge, Han Xiaoping was lying on the bed reading a novel.

Han Xiaoping jumped up and replied politely, "Brother Lu, you're back. No need to be so polite. It's just a matter of lying down and resting."

"You wouldn't believe it, Brother Lu, things have been a bit chaotic in our department while you were on leave. Quite a few emergency patients have been asking where you went."

"I heard you took leave and complained a lot."

Han Xiaoping gave a thumbs up: "Brother Lu, you're really amazing. You've truly made tendon suturing a specialty of our county."

Tendon injuries are considered an emergency. Before an injury, people don't usually care which doctor is good at it, but once they're injured, they'll try to find out through their connections which doctor is good at suturing. This is only natural.

However, Lu Cheng happened to have taken leave to go out and study, and it was a legitimate reason, since all the skills were learned, not created out of thin air.

"You didn't have a fight, did you?" Lu Cheng asked Han Xiaoping with a smile.

"Arguing is a legitimate reason, but does arguing mean I'll bring you back?"

"The hospital sent you out to learn new skills, and all the procedures were proper. Arguing won't solve anything."

"Indeed, Dr. Peng Kun from the orthopedics department has been doing quite good quality tendon sutures recently."

"Although, like you before, Brother Lu, the area of ​​tendon that you were able to adapt to was very narrow, Professor Chen said that the quality of the surgery was quite good," Han Xiaoping said.

Lu Cheng knew that Han Xiaoping was probably worried that the orthopedics department was taking away the number of surgeries from the emergency department, so Lu Cheng replied, "It's good that they do a good job. I can't be on duty every day by myself. It would be better if more people had this kind of skill."

"Brother Han, you should go back first," Lu Cheng said politely.

Han Xiaoping walked out, then turned around, still holding his square-headed hairpin: "Brother Lu, when will you find some time to tutor me privately?"

"Although I didn't learn as quickly as Tian Zhuang, I still put in the effort, and it seems like I'm just one step away from mastering it."

Lu Cheng nodded and replied, "Sure, Brother Han, you can just send me any questions you have, and I'll reply as soon as I see them. If you want to talk about it privately, we can set aside some time."

"Thank you, Brother Lu." Han Xiaoping cupped his hands in a salute and left with a smile. Of course, as he released his hands from the salute, he pointed to the takeout bag on the window.

There were two takeout orders: one was coffee, and the other was a large bowl of rice, both from the same restaurant that Lu Cheng and Professor Chen Song often ate at.

While Tian Zhuang failed to learn Lu Cheng's methods, Han Xiaoping and Du Daihua certainly grasped the 'essence' of them!
Or rather, the two of them didn't need to learn at all, and they weren't much worse than Lu Cheng. As for interpersonal relationships, as long as they weren't particularly difficult to understand, they could all learn them.

Having already put everything down, Lu Cheng couldn't refuse.

Since he hadn't eaten a particularly large meal that evening, and adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Lu Cheng started eating and drinking while video chatting with Mu Nanshu and watching her clean, essentially consuming food late at night.

As a result, Mu Nanshu also ordered a takeout meal and complained about Lu Cheng a few times.

Hearing Mu Nanshu's complaints, Lu Cheng was pleased rather than angry; this meant that Mu Nanshu had at least returned to his former self.

Her poise and restraint stem from her social skills in maintaining relationships, rather than from genuine interaction.

……

After hanging up the video call, Lu Cheng was about to open his book when the door to the break room was hurriedly knocked on by nurse Yao Lina from the nurses' station.

"Lu Cheng, come out quickly!"

"The police called and said they were sending over eight people... Zeng Huanqi, who was on duty, has already called Director Lin and the others, and the orthopedics department is also fully mobilized..." Yao Lina's steps were hurried, her tone hurried, and she left in a hurry.

Longxian County is located in northwestern Hunan Province. The local people are known for their fierce and unruly nature. It is common for them to quarrel and fight over a single disagreement. Many years ago, there were even group brawls and knife fights.

For a period of time, anyone with a Xiangxi identity was blacklisted from working in other places, and employers wouldn't hire them.

Since the crackdown, this kind of social custom has been largely eliminated, but it still happens occasionally!

Seven or eight people were sent over all at once.

After hearing this, Lu Cheng hesitated for only two seconds before immediately calling the on-call orthopedic doctor. While running out, he shouted, "Xiang Kuihua, ER! The police have brought in eight injured people. Call Director Peng and Director Liu right away..."

"Damn, okay!" Xiang Kuihua didn't dare to delay and immediately hung up the phone to agree.
