Chapter 688 - 342: Now They've Learned Their Lesson! (Part 2)

"Just walked over like that, it's not as dramatic as you think."

"Alright, we're all good and haven't suffered much, so let's not forcefully add drama to ourselves."

"Don't always imagine I'm struggling!"

Mu Nanshu thought for a moment, then replied: "Yeah, apart from working overtime every day, you don't seem to have much pressure."

"I heard Xie Yuan'an say, if your basic skills are at a certain level, you can rely solely on them to outshine a bunch of old professors?"

"Is that true?"

Lu Cheng replied: "I don't know either! I've yet to share the stage with any old professors."

"This is a question I need time to answer."

Mu Nanshu: "You're so cheeky!~"

Lu Cheng: "Hey, I'm so excellent already, can't I boast a bit?"

"Hmm, seems like you can!~"

Mu Nanshu said: "Yes, you can."

"Oh, by the way!"

"Zhang Xibei and Ni Xixin are both not in a good mood again."

"You gave them too much pressure."

Lu Cheng: "..."

"Actually, having pressure isn't bad, as long as you don't take it too much to heart."

Lu Cheng thought to himself, they have pressure, should I slow down my progress just to ease their pressure?

That would be too exhausting!

...

After contacting people, soon the State People's Hospital received a patient with severe damage.

Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang went straight into the operating room and started enthusiastically performing surgery!

The entire surgical process was incredibly smooth.

For damage limb preservation surgery, the challenge is wound cleaning.

Lu Cheng's wound cleaning skill had reached an extraordinary level.

Visibly, the surgery time was reduced. Previously, surgeries took at least five or six hours, or even more!

This surgery, in just four hours, the two of them finished it, safely sending the patient to the hand surgery ward!

The patient was escorted out of the operating room by the circulating and anesthesiologist, while Lu Cheng and Dai Linfang were secretly conducting a tentative summary in the changing room.

Lu Cheng was unsure of his capabilities, needing a summary, Dai Linfang participated as well.

Dai Linfang said: "I realized it, at your level, no wonder you're addicted to operating."

"Just watching is so thrilling!"

"I wish I had those hands." Dai Linfang started fantasizing.

Dai Linfang had already been demystified in front of Lu Cheng, but this time, it was even more thorough.

Dai Linfang is just a peer of Lu Cheng, with a doctoral degree, carrying the halo of a genius around.

Now, he can finally live a normal life, daring to love and hate.

Being a "genius"?

I'm just a loser!

Only a few are geniuses, the rest are losers!

Losers should embrace their identity.

Lu Cheng let out a sigh of relief, answering without directly addressing the question: "With this, we can choose the types of surgeries we're going to do in the future."

"With this, we can even apply in advance to get liver preservation surgery into the department."

"When the time comes, will you do liver preservation surgery with me or damaged limb preservation surgery?"

Dai Linfang looked up: "Why choose? Can't we do both?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting distracted?" Lu Cheng asked spontaneously.

"I!~" Dai Linfang gritting his teeth.

Grudgingly said: "It's just you thinking I'm a loser, alright?"

Well, actually Dai Linfang finds it difficult to easily shed the halo of a genius!

Lu Cheng: "..."

Dai Linfang continued: "So, how much function do you estimate the patient from the recent operation can recover post-surgery?"

"Should be over 80%!" Lu Cheng said uncertainly.

"This figure might be too bold, definitely over 60%!"

Damage limb preservation surgery, as the name suggests, focuses on preserving the limb, not directly restoring function.

Surviving is good enough, hoping to preserve function typically requires a second-stage surgery.

"Amazing!~"

"Not only preserving limbs but also more functions."

"Having it all is the joy of adulthood!" Dai Linfang let out a long breath.

Then said: "Compared to you, my technical skills aren't worth mentioning."

"I can only manage some minor wound damage cleaning."

Lu Cheng's tone was cautious: "Actually, it's already quite quick."

Dai Linfang gave Lu Cheng a glance: "Your words sound like internet jokes."

"Actually, five seconds is already long, don't be sad."

"Damn, sounds harsh!"

"In any case, what you say sounds very harsh."

Lu Cheng smoothly replied, "Wastes like you, not much younger than me, why is your skill so lacking?"

Dai Linfang almost lost his cool upon hearing this.

But remembering he was the one who provoked Lu Cheng first, he refrained from losing it.

...

The two of them are off duty today, and feeling open-minded, they decided not to work overtime.

Thus, after finishing the surgery, they were prepared to go home separately.

Dai Linfang still played the driver, chauffeuring Lu Cheng, the "boss"!

On the way, Lu Cheng received a phone call.

It was from Huang Haibo!

"Director Huang!" Lu Cheng switched to speaker mode.

Huang Haibo remained silent for a long time after hearing Lu Cheng's response, only speaking after Lu Cheng called "Director Huang" for the third time.

Huang Haibo finally opened up, "Lu Cheng, I heard that Director Xie has already confessed!"

"He signed!"

"What's going on? Do you know?"

Lu Cheng: "I truly don't know, Director Huang."

Of course, Lu Cheng couldn't betray Huang Haibo; some things should not be said.

Lu Cheng couldn't play both sides, wielding these matters to kill Xie Zhuoyuan while constantly bragging about working on a secret project!

Huang Haibo said, "Of course, regarding Du Hua'an, he's willing to make amends as well!"

"Finally, as required, he's accepted all civil responsibilities."

"Out of nowhere, he became so compliant."

Lu Cheng thought, how could he not be compliant?

Breaking into confidential matters, if you don't explain clearly, can you get out?

Do you still dream of joining the department?

Lu Cheng hadn't heard of similar news before, not having encountered anyone so bold.

"Well, at least this incident can make our emergency department more authoritative."

"And make other leaders within the State slightly more mindful, not always acting so superior and disregarding us." Huang Haibo sighed.

Lu Cheng then said, "Director Huang, I'm actually a bit concerned too."

"It's Du Hua'an now, but if after some time, we have assistant professors from other hospitals come to our department and conflicts arise."

"We'll face quite a challenge then."

"Moreover, when leaders get involved, handling it becomes even more troublesome."

"Vigorous and simple folk customs are Xiangzhou's strengths, but they're also drawbacks!"

Why did Xie Zhuoyuan resort to violence?

At the core, it's impatience.

Lu Cheng himself had moments of wanting to hit someone, but this is indeed a bad habit!

Elsewhere, even in high positions, they wouldn't abuse power to the point of direct violence.

They would employ milder and more pressing methods.

"Sigh... that's true!" Huang Haibo also sighed.

He continued, "Lu Cheng, thank you. You've really worked hard."

"Our emergency department's trauma center, with your efforts, won't have to worry about decline for years to come!"

"If we can pass on your current skills, our emergency department could even rank highly in the entire province."

"I thank you on behalf of the emergency department, on behalf of Xiangzhou's patients, and on behalf of your current patients!"

Stripped of vested interests, everyone can recognize the significance of Lu Cheng's work!

Lu Cheng gave a casual smile, "Director Huang, you're too kind."

"How do you want to arrange the evening, do you want to have dinner together?" Huang Haibo proactively asked.

If it were a usual time, Lu Cheng surely would have agreed.

But today is special, so Lu Cheng said honestly, "Director Huang, it's inconvenient, how about another day?"

"I've arranged to celebrate with my group tonight!"

"Indeed, you do have quite a few groups."

Huang Haibo spoke with envy and jealousy, "This is the real life!"

"Truly spectacular."

After Lu Cheng ended his call with Huang Haibo, the phone rang again.

Note: Xie Yuan'an!

"Xie Yuan'an." Lu Cheng also used the speaker mode and answered directly.

"Lu Cheng, where are you now? My dad and I are here, and my dad and others want to meet you!" Xie Yuan'an's tone was straightforward, as if arranging for Lu Cheng to meet the parents.

From the driver's seat, Dai Linfang gazed quietly.

Yet he dared not flare up.

"We're planning to have a gathering, didn't you see the message in the group?"

"If it's convenient for your father and Professor Zhong, they can join us!" Lu Cheng replied.

Xie Yuan'an passed the word, "Dad, Professor Zhong, what do you think?"

It was Professor Zhong Junyun who personally agreed, "Then let's go together, following Xiao Lu's arrangement."

The tone was slightly melancholic and pensive.
