Chapter 716 - 356: Unthinkable Luck!

Speaking of this, Lu Cheng asked again, "Zhang Xibei didn't mention going for a PhD anymore, right?"

Mu Nanshu shook her head, tossed her hair with her left hand, dancing in the breeze of the hair dryer: "No, he hasn't."

"He hasn't mentioned much this month."

"After all, which research group anywhere could offer as much learning as ours?"

"Studying for a master's or a PhD is essentially about learning things."

"You just aren't qualified as a PhD advisor, not lacking the ability to teach."

"Associate professors from top hospitals are flocking to Ji City, and Brother Zhang isn't foolish."

"Besides, after Dai Linfang's arrangement, neither Zhang Xibei nor Sister Ni Xixin feel like they are lagging behind anymore."

"So, I think you should be a bit more polite to Dai Linfang in the future."

Lu Cheng agreed with Mu Nanshu's assessment but was somewhat conflicted: "I'm just worried that if I suddenly change the way I interact with him, both of us might feel awkward."

"Actually, I haven't known Dai Linfang for long, but maybe it's one of those situations where you don't know each other until you fight, our current relationship is quite good."

"Nanshu, do you think Dai Linfang manipulated his way into our team?"

Mu Nanshu tossed her hair again, satisfied it was dry, unplugged the hair dryer, and began to clean up the worktop:

"There's a saying that when you are strong enough, you will find benefactors everywhere."

"Everyone you meet becomes good people."

"But when we are weak, the cruel side of social rules roars in front of us like a prehistoric beast!"

"It's not really a matter of virtue not matching the position..."

After setting down the hair dryer, Mu Nanshu crossed the bed to the headboard, then moved to Lu Cheng's side.

Using her eyes, she signaled Lu Cheng to hold her.

Lu Cheng obediently complied, which prompted Mu Nanshu to say: "Anyway, here, I've planned thoroughly for our future."

"Based on what you said, your education level is not a problem now."

"And even because of Professor Lu, your associate senior title will be granted ahead of time."

"Once you become an associate senior, your freedom increases significantly. Considering titles further, the cooldown period is very long."

"Promotion is no longer the main goal for you."

"Being an associate senior grants significant autonomy; it's within the senior title sequence, which will facilitate your work."

"So, our main task is the research projects."

"Across these few aspects, first is the educational projects."

"This is what Xie Yuan'an and I are planning to take over, don't blame me for using your resources."

"If you aim to become a professor, a teaching experience is a must, and teaching-related papers are the best reflection of teaching experience."

Lu Cheng calmed down, pinching Mu Nanshu's nose: "I'm just worried you'd emulate the traditional wife and only think about me."

"The unknown and mystery are the eternal fresheners."

"Fortunately, we can pursue mysteries and work on projects together, it's our common narrative."

When Mu Nanshu finished speaking, her face reddened further, she immediately gestured with her hands: "Stop talking, you're messing up my thoughts."

"In educational projects, there are a few types, first is teaching effectiveness."

"You can statistically calculate the learning cycle and approximate consumption for mature doctors through theory, animal experimental models, and surgical practice on animal models."

"This way, we can later request just enough funding from above."

"Teaching is not just your individual task; the inheritance of medicine ultimately leads to social benefits."

"Next is a longitudinal application project."

"This requires your students to carry it out. You now have a broad, somewhat scattered, setup; many projects and longitudinal applications of suturing techniques are not detailed and systematized enough."

"Just these longitudinal research points are enough for many master's and doctoral graduations."

"For instance, the practical application and effects of the Lu-Mu suturing technique in different places is enough to graduate several master's students?"

"Beyond that too."

"Someone has to do these things. After all, the more evidence and data you gather, the more it'll support your thought adaptation."

"And then there's the horizontal project."

"Based on the current..."

Mu Nanshu really cleverly planned many things, which was entirely different from Lu Cheng's planned direction.

Mu Nanshu spoke very earnestly, her face rosy, lips red.

Her features were exquisite, expression simple, gaze pure.

"Done talking?" Lu Cheng asked.

"That's pretty much it..."

"After talking, I'll hypnotize you, time to sleep." Lu Cheng said again.

"Huh? And..."

Mu Nanshu hadn't finished her sentence before being interrupted...

About an hour later, the two took a bath, too drained to say anything in a fragmented manner.

As they fell asleep, there was a faint smile.

...

The next day, early morning, after Lu Cheng got up, he spoke to Mu Nanshu who was carefully concealing hickies in front of the dressing mirror:

"Remember to apologize to Xie Yuan'an and Professor Xie for me."

"Today, I'm on duty and can't take leave to fetch him."

Mu Nanshu nodded: "I know, you've already said it for the third time."

Lu Cheng said: "I've been thinking, should I send Dai Linfang over to be your driver."

"I'm not quite sure whether Xie Yuan'an just isn't getting it or what."

Mu Nanshu rolled her eyes at Lu Cheng: "Why do you think Xie Yuan'an is so slow in understanding Dai Linfang?"

"What do you think?"

A slight tinge of jealousy crept over Mu Nanshu.

Lu Cheng chuckled: "Book Bag, the laboratory over there, those few people bring you coffee and milk tea every day, I haven't said anything, have I?"

"Everyone has an appreciation for beauty."

"I can't control others' thoughts."

Mu Nanshu decided to leave the topic of Xie Yuan'an, her voice slightly hesitant: "You... won't fall asleep while working, right?"

Lu Cheng replied energetically: "Can't be so reckless anymore in the future."

"Feeling a bit tired."

Mu Nanshu: "That's what you deserve, serves you right for lacking discipline."

"Clearly, it was late at night."

Lu Cheng emphasized: "It really is your fault!~"

"As the old saying goes, beauty is a danger."

"Ah, I really don't feel like working..."

Mu Nanshu snorted but was not angry.

...

Lu Cheng didn't have breakfast with Mu Nanshu, firstly because Mu Nanshu was slow to leave, and she had the luxury of a nine-to-five schedule, so she had ample time for breakfast.

Upon arriving at the emergency department, Lu Cheng quickly slipped into the break room!

Dai Linfang was already there.

Besides Dai Linfang and others, Lu Cheng also spotted Leng Hua'an and Du Hua'an...

Leng Hua'an was an associate professor at Xiangya Third Hospital, while Du Hua'an was a local colleague in the department.

"Du Hua'an, you've just finished your surgery, you don't need to be here in the department."

"Make sure to rest well, definitely avoid catching a cold," Lu Cheng advised upon seeing Du Hua'an.

Du Hua'an did undergo a nasal bone surgery, but it wasn't too severe.

That person's punch didn't knock him out: "Director Lu, I can come back to work next week, I'm getting discharged today, just letting you know."

Lu Cheng stated: "There's no hurry, many instructors have joined the department recently."

"If you come, just shadow for now..."

"Some skills, you can practice at home."

"This is Professor Leng Hua'an from Xiangya Third Hospital, sharing your name..."

Leng Hua'an had already met Du Hua'an, he smiled: "Morning, Director Lu."

"Good morning, Professor Leng."

"Have breakfast been ordered?" Lu Cheng looked at Liu Nongqiu.

Liu Nongqiu promptly responded: "Director Lu, breakfast has been ordered, got you a bowl of noodles today..."

After speaking, Liu Nongqiu added: "Director Lu, by the way, Director Xiang from the hand surgery department is outside."

"Didn't see him." Lu Cheng's gaze shifted.

"Director Xiang is waiting outside the Trauma Center, said he'd wait for you to find him."

"He arrived yesterday. Has stayed since." Liu Nongqiu said.

Lu Cheng nonchalantly replied: "Stayed or not, let's stick to our conversation..."
