Chapter 538 - 275: Dong Chang Pays a Visit

The moonlight is radiant, and the shadows of the lamps cut through.

At eight in the evening, Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu both put down their books and laptops. Lu Cheng sat on the sofa with Mu Nanshu in his lap.

The two sipped their coffee slowly, and after Mu Nanshu put down the coffee, he said, "Today I met Professor Qu, he's quite an interesting old fellow."

As Mu Nanshu spoke, he got up from Lu Cheng and gave him a curious look.

Lu Cheng straightened his back, looking calm and offering no explanation: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call Professor Qu an old man?"

Mu Nanshu's expression was dismissive: "Honestly, he's just a little old man, very competitive."

"Professor Dong learns faster than him, so he tries to find flaws and shortcomings in Professor Dong's learning process."

"Nitpicking, just to prove he hasn't lost."

Lu Cheng had performed surgery in the operating room with Qu Daowen a few times but didn't know him well.

"As you age, your energy and physical strength decline."

"At this age, learning new things is not as easy as it is for young people." Lu Cheng lamented.

For Lu Cheng, if he didn't consider his own advantages, he would feel his learning efficiency isn't what it used to be.

But there's no need for Lu Cheng to ignore his advantages, as he hasn't upgraded his skills independently for a long time.

Relying on shortcuts is satisfying, and once you get used to them, it's hard to give them up. Since the skill point gains have increased, Lu Cheng rarely takes the time to hone his skills naturally.

"Also, Professor Dong cheats, he…" Mu Nanshu's voice was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Didn't order takeout." As Lu Cheng got up to open the door, Mu Nanshu tidied his dressing gown.

As the door opened, Lu Cheng saw Dong Chang standing outside with a bag in hand, his expression immediately changed: "Director Dong? How did you find this place?"

"Isn't this a bit much?"

Dong Chang, acting as if he were familiar, attempted to step inside: "Xiao Lu, let's go inside to talk; it's not convenient to talk here."

Lu Cheng blocked Dong Chang directly, his tone cold: "Director Dong, there's no need to come in. By finding your way here, you've shown you don't respect me."

"Everything we needed to say, we already said over the phone and in the department yesterday."

After Director Yao's phone call, Dong Chang had called Lu Cheng privately and even went to the emergency department to see him.

Now, coming directly to Mu Nanshu's home crossed Lu Cheng's line.

"Dr. Lu, we can discuss this, I came with sincerity. You should treat a guest…" Dong Chang said.

Lu Cheng pushed the door and pulled it open: "The hell with 'you should treat a guest'!"

"What do you want? What do you plan to do today?"

This house belongs to Mu Nanshu, although it's not in his name, and Lu Cheng was only staying here temporarily.

If Dong Chang had found his place in Gaojia Slope District, Lu Cheng wouldn't be this angry.

Lu Cheng rolled up his sleeves: "Are you going to play hard or soft?"

Dong Chang's smiling face turned sinister: "Lu Cheng, are you not giving me any face at all?"

Lu Cheng smirked: "It's given to those who have face. I already gave you face! You're the one treating me as nothing!~"

Dong Chang could investigate his background, but there need to be limits.

Mu Nanshu hurriedly opened the door: "Should we call the police?"

"Close the door and call!~" Lu Cheng turned back.

"I refuse to believe he can force his way in today."

Dong Chang was the first person Lu Cheng encountered who didn't abide by basic social norms, but Lu Cheng wasn't soft either, ready if it came to a fight.

Standing over 1.8 meters tall and muscular, Lu Cheng wasn't afraid of Dong Chang.

Originating from Xiangxi, though Lu Cheng received a higher education, it didn't rule out the possibility of resolving issues directly.

Dong Chang, naturally, didn't dare make a move: "Lu Cheng, you're still young, why hold onto this position?"

"You won't listen to reason, are you not afraid of being disciplined?"

"I told you, I need this status as a stepping stone, if you step down, I'll give you…"

Lu Cheng stretched out his right hand: "Do as you like!"

"As long as you can convince the hospital leaders or any level of leadership in the State or Province, feel free to perform; I'm happy to watch."

"Why bother coming to me for anything?"

Dong Chang laughed: "Do you think you have that ability? Aren't you just relying on connections?"

Lu Cheng: "You don't need to worry about how I got to this position, I'll handle anything I mess up myself."

"If you want to be in charge of the trauma center, just accept it yourself! Go to the hospital leaders and make a commitment, you have plenty of ways as a deputy chief physician."

Dong Chang put down the items he was holding: "Acting tough while living off someone else? Aren't you just fortunate to have a good wife with good connections to back you up?"

Lu Cheng turned away, unwilling to exchange more words with such an imbecile, he directly opened the door with his fingerprint, went inside, and closed the door!

Dong Chang continued: "Lu Cheng, don't be so arrogant; arrogance invites trouble!~"

Inside the door, Mu Nanshu and Lu Cheng exchanged glances, with Mu Nanshu looking baffled: "What's going on?"

"Just a complete idiot, more brainless than any idiot I could have imagined, a madman."

"Don't pay attention to him." Lu Cheng waved it off.

After falling out with Lu Cheng, Dong Chang didn't curse much more, just muttered a few words at the door before leaving Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu in peace.

"This won't be a problem, right?" Mu Nanshu was a bit worried.

Lu Cheng's temper flared: "What problem? I'm not afraid to confront him, and I'm not intimidated by his tricks."

"If he can escalate this minor issue to a level I can't handle, I'll admit defeat. I'll steer clear of such a god if he's that powerful."
