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

Chapter 144 Xiang Daihong: ? ? ?

At 6:40, in the doctors' lounge.

"We're not going. We have something to discuss with Lu Cheng." Chen Song unilaterally declined Zeng Huanqi's invitation to go out for dinner.

"It's alright, Professor Chen, I can wait for you." Zeng Huanqi said with a smile.

Chen Song took a deep breath and looked at Zeng Huanqi with a questioning gaze, but he didn't get angry: "Zeng Huanqi, I have something important to do. You guys go eat first, don't wait for us!"

Zeng Huanqi, of course, wasn't stupid. He immediately understood the meaning in Professor Chen Song's eyes. His dark skin contrasted sharply with his bright white teeth as he flashed a smile: "Okay, Professor Chen, you go ahead with your work. Let's get together again sometime!"

Zeng Huanqi immediately stepped out of the door. Although he didn't know what Chen Song was up to with his butt sticking out, Zeng Huanqi knew that he would definitely wake up Lin Qianlong. Professor Chen Song's gaze was definitely not friendly.

Could Chen Song possibly trick Lu Cheng into going to Xiangya Hospital?
Zeng Huanqi thought it was impossible, but he still had to handle it with caution.

……

In the doctor's office, after Tong Yuan'an roughly understood Lu Cheng's experience, he led Lu Cheng into the alley and then turned to the door of the fire escape of the observation ward.

He lit another 'Harmony Under Heaven' cigarette: "What are your own thoughts on this?"

Lu Cheng sighed, his expression slightly conflicted: "Teacher Tong, to be honest, I'm also quite unhappy about it."

"Professor Zhong does sit-ups on the spot and picks up things he's lost right away. Anyone would feel uncomfortable doing that."

"It may be uncomfortable, but I'm just an ordinary person. Besides, if Professor Zhong hadn't set a trap for me, I would have mentioned a few improvements to the suturing techniques just to be on the safe side."

"I might really not want to go anymore."

"But? Just as I told you, Professor Zhong gave too much later..."

Tong Yuan'an touched his round chin, rubbing his right index finger against the ridge of his double chin: "There are quite a few, indeed."

"First, we're willing to do you a favor by letting you bring this technique back and work with us on it, so you won't owe us any favors."

"This magnanimity is something that ordinary professors cannot achieve; only a national-level master would dare to be so generous."

"Secondly, I'll let you get a promotion first and then transfer you to Peking Union Medical College Hospital to resolve your contract and related issues. They might even let you stay in the hospital directly, skipping the general residency stage in the teaching hospital... tsk tsk."

Lu Cheng asked in confusion, "Professor Zhong didn't mention that?"

Tong Yuan'an rolled his eyes at Lu Cheng: "What the hell? Have you ever seen an associate chief physician appointed as chief resident? Are you crazy?"

"Do I even need to say that? What do you think? You opened your mouth, made your request, and all you're doing is making your request, right? Is that what you think is doing it for your own good?"

"Which of us didn't start out as a head resident with a bald head?"

"If Professor Zhong allows you to pursue further education after you've already obtained your associate professor title, then he's not planning to let you become a chief resident!"

"Not having to be a chief resident, wouldn't that be amazing?"

Lu Cheng remained silent. He had indeed not considered this point, and Professor Zhong Junyun had not explicitly stated it either, but he must have considered it, and someone must have pointed it out to him.

"Of course, the third point is something none of us can do."

"As expected of a big shot, he seems to have given you a convenient opportunity, but in reality, he's given it to our general, and in a way that's quite unsolvable," Tong Yuan'an continued his analysis.

"Don't say anything more, Chen Song can't outmaneuver him."

When Lu Cheng mentioned that Professor Zhong Junyun had subtly suggested that Lu Cheng bring his girlfriend back for the research project, Tong Yuan'an learned of Professor Zhong Junyun's arrangement.

You think Xiangya is so great? No matter how great you are, no matter how well you can help Lu Cheng with his research,

Could you get the staff in the gastroenterology lab at Peking Union Medical College Hospital to follow Lu Cheng?
That's still impossible; that's internal affairs at Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

It's both a way to help others achieve their goals and an unsolvable move, so it doesn't harm Lu Cheng at all.

Lu Cheng glanced at Tong Yuan'an and asked, "Teacher Tong, Professor Chen is angry. Can you give me some relatively good advice?" Lu Cheng now realized that among all the teachers he had encountered, Professor Chen Song was probably the only one who truly asked for nothing in return.

The others, including Tong Yuan'an, were all involved in a disguised exchange.

"Me? If I had such a method, I would have already beaten Chen Song to a pulp. You're asking me what method I have?"

Tong Yuan'an swung his big neck: "The only thing I can think of right now is to apply for an extension of my time in the countryside so that I can work with you to get the data for this project and publish it as soon as possible."

"The rest is up to you, Xiao Lu, to figure out a solution."

"Oh, yes, we still need to apply for research projects and get some funding. Your girlfriend is here too, and she definitely won't let me contribute to the research funding easily."

"She definitely understands things you don't."

If Tong Yuan'an is to use his research funding to support the research project, then Tong Yuan'an must be the principal investigator of the project.

Otherwise, the money spent would be illegitimate, and Tong Yuan'an would be unable to explain himself.

Lu Cheng nodded and replied in a low voice, "Then we can only take it one step at a time..."

Lu Cheng is also a scoundrel, so he doesn't pretend to be pretentious.

Right now, although he wasn't very willing to follow Professor Zhong, who had given up on him, Lu Cheng couldn't refuse because the offer was so generous.

In fact, since Lu Cheng didn't refuse, he couldn't possibly be both sides.

"I'll go and comfort Chen Song later. Don't show up yet. Let him calm down in private. In a day or two, you can talk about this in detail..." Tong Yuan'an instructed after stubbing out his cigarette.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Tong," Lu Cheng said.

Tong Yuan'an chuckled: "I should be thanking you. At least you proved that our previous efforts were not in vain, and the initial investment of funds was not wasted."

"The Tajima stitching technique isn't something that can't be eliminated."

……

Xiangzhou, Jishi, Xiangzhou People's Hospital.

After hanging up the call from Longxian People's Hospital, Xiang Daihong froze, his expression extremely angry!
"What the hell?! Tong Yuan'an extended his time in the countryside?!"

Tong Yuan'an suddenly showed up, delaying his trip to the countryside. Now that Tong Yuan'an has extended it again, doesn't that mean he's staying in Bengbu?

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Daihong called Peng Haibo at Longxian People's Hospital.

Peng Haibo was still asleep, drowsy: "Hello, who is it?"

"Director Peng, you've had a good rest, haven't you?" Xiang Daihong's voice was strained.
Peng Haibo must have rolled over or something; once he saw who it was, his voice immediately perked up: "Director Xiang... what's the matter..."

Xiang Daihong was immediately silenced by Peng Haibo.

Did I just hear that right? He asked me what I wanted?
"Oh??? It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to call and say hello to Director Peng. You're resting, so it's fine." Xiang Daihong didn't say anything harsh; after all, they were all adults.

What's the use of making threats? You can only show your strength when you have the opportunity.

Peng Haibo had invited him to go to the countryside in Longxian County, and he had already agreed to go elsewhere, but now things have turned out like this.

If Peng Haibo can be promoted to senior professional title, or if he encounters any medical disputes in the future, he can handle them well if he is responsible. He swears to Dai Hong that he will write the character "向" backwards.

"Director Xiang, last night some reckless young people in the county got into a brawl, and I had to do emergency surgery all night. I didn't get back until nine o'clock this morning! I went straight to sleep after I got back because I was so tired." Peng Haibo didn't embellish the story.

He hung up the phone with Dai Hong!
