Chapter 699 - 348: Team Assembly!~

May 16th, morning!

Ji City High-Speed Rail Station is situated halfway up the mountain.

As the morning sun rises, a cold breeze blows gently.

At 9:40 AM, Lu Cheng, Dai Linfang, and Chen Fang arrived at the underground parking lot, holding signs and tiptoeing to peer into the distance.

Soon, Chen Song emerged, grinning and carrying a backpack!

Behind Chen Song, a young man was pushing two large suitcases, with a huge travel bag slung on his back.

Seeing the newcomers, Lu Cheng immediately went forward to greet them: "Teacher Chen, Senior Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work!~"

"Xiao Lu, good morning…" Zhang Boyuan adjusted the strap of the backpack on his right shoulder.

Lu Cheng and the others stepped forward to help: "Senior Brother, let us help…"

Lu Cheng proactively introduced them to Dai Linfang and Chen Fang: "Dai Linfang, Brother Fang, this is Zhang Boyuan, he's considered my senior brother."

Neither Dai Linfang nor Chen Fang had met Zhang Boyuan before, but they knew in advance that he was a doctor from Xiangya Second Hospital brought by Professor Chen Song.

Chen Fang immediately greeted him formally: "Good morning, Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Though Dai Linfang didn't say anything, he courteously helped push the suitcases towards their parking spot.

Lu Cheng held back Dai Linfang: "Dai Linfang, Teacher Yao Qilong is coming here later. You wait here, I'll take Professor Chen and Senior Brother Zhang over."

On this trip, it wasn't just Chen Song and Zhang Boyuan, but also a attending physician, Chen Qilong, an associate professor from Xiangya Hospital's Hepatobiliary Surgery.

He was persuaded to come and help by Dai Linfang's mentor, Professor Huang Gengwen, so they couldn't show favoritism.

"Alright, that's fine."

"Professor Xue from Union Hospital and You Zejun are arriving in the afternoon."

"Professor Xie Ziyuan and Professor Leng Hua'an are disembarking at 10:10!"

"Chen Fang, you should first take Professor Chen and Dr. Zhang to rest." Dai Linfang proactively instructed.

Chen Song and Zhang Boyuan were guests, they shouldn't just wait at the station for the others.

This time, three cars were arranged for convenient transportation.

Chen Fang willingly accepted his role as a pure facilitator and quickly nodded: "Alright, Director Dai."

"Professor Chen, Dr. Zhang, we've arranged a hotel and a dormitory for you. Where would you like to settle first?"

"Oh, by the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you…" Chen Fang offered proactively.

Chen Song then asked Lu Cheng: "How many people did you invite? How are they grouped?"

Lu Cheng recited smoothly: "Teacher Chen, we're currently simply divided into General Surgery and Hand Surgery groups."

"General Surgery includes you, Associate Professor Xue Yunfei from Union Hospital Hepatobiliary Surgery, Senior Brother Zhang Boyuan, and Teacher Yao Qilong from Brother Dai's group."

"For Hand Surgery, we have Professor Xie Ziyuan from Xiangya Hospital, Professor Leng Hua'an from Third Hospital, and Professor You Junze from Union Hospital, willing to help."

Chen Song paused slightly: "Fatty Tong didn't come?"

Lu Cheng chuckled lightly, his tone slightly sarcastic: "Teacher Chen, Teacher Tong is a very busy man at Xiangya Hospital's Hand Surgery and couldn't spare the time."

Tong Yuan'an was indeed very distinguished, not requiring extra assistance from Lu Cheng, only Lu Cheng himself knew that those who could come were a triumph.

But Lu Cheng wasn't bothered to explain.

No matter whether these people were being abandoned at their original units where they could excel, Lu Cheng thought they could learn something new here.

After all, Chen Song had a good relationship with Fatty Tong, hearing Lu Cheng's resentment towards Tong Yuan'an, he actually helped explain: "Tong Yuan'an holds an important position in Hand Surgery."

"Previous suturing techniques require clinical application to be considered valuable."

"He might want to come, but Director Tan may be reluctant!~ Not that you're going to Xiangya Hospital…"

Lu Cheng hurriedly said: "I was just kidding, Teacher Chen."

Lu Cheng was being sarcastic to Chen Song as a way to explain that he did invite Tong Yuan'an, it was Tong Yuan'an who chose not to come.

In time, don't say that I, Lu Cheng, am ungrateful!

Of course, Xiangya Hospital did send a representative, Associate Professor Xie Ziyuan.

Lu Cheng had previously met Xie Ziyuan briefly but hadn't formed a deep relationship yet.

...

Gradually, around 4 PM in the afternoon, Lu Cheng finally managed to gather everyone.

However, Associate Professor You Zejun from Union Hospital explicitly stated he didn't want to dine together after Lu Cheng sent him back to the dormitory; he just wanted a bit more rest.

Lu Cheng contemplated and then agreed: "Then Teacher You, please rest first. I'll arrange some takeaway later."

"I apologize for the poor hospitality; you've had a long journey, which must have been tiring."

You Zejun had a typically round face, currently looking exhausted, forcing a smile: "Sorry, Lu Cheng, I'm really a bit tired."

"Not feeling well today."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Cheng, You Zejun closed the door.

When Lu Cheng and Chen Fang turned around, Chen Fang's eyebrows furrowed deeply: "Director Lu, the attendees don't seem easy to get along with this time."

"Their moods seem a bit off…"

"Professor Xie from Xiangya Hospital, Professor Leng from Third Hospital, Yao Qilong, Teacher You Zejun as well."

Lu Cheng shook his head: "No worries, these teachers are kind enough to help; not helping would be reasonable."

"They came, maybe compelled by circumstances."

"But now that they're here, we'll just have to wait and endure…"

Lu Cheng rubbed his forehead, understanding their mood.

We're all attending associate professors from top hospitals, sent randomly to work for a little doctor named Lu Cheng?

Why?

Can you benefit me much?

It's possible their department heads directly assigned them, rather than them coming willingly.

Senior Brother Zhang Boyuan was also similarly "assigned"!
